The present Presidential campaign in- <
Evolves more momentous consequences than ’

of the country. The people of Georgia are
deeply interested in the result, and will
therefore, look forward to the developments
of the campaign with increasing interest. I
The dissemination of reliable news, and of d
sound constitutional views on the important fi
issues of the day are essential to the success
of the Republican party. ,
To supply in a measure this need, we wil ;
mail The National Republican for any e
four months prior to January' 1, 1869, at-the <
low rate of $1.50. ;
We appeal to the old supporters of the f
Republican to aid us in extending its t

IS The heated term—which is a very ittade- 1
H||tiate name for the frightfully hot weather
Evhich has prevailed for the last fortnight—is
otill upon us, and extends over all parts of
■file country. In New York, during the
four hours ending on Tuesday night,
cases of sudden mortality, attribu-
to the excessive heat, were re-ported,
many instances of persons more or
Bmss dangerously affected by exposure to the
■■un. In the same city, Dr. W. T. G. Morton,
Ether fame, died from the effects of the
■arge- The weather as far to the northwest
■Rm Wisconsin, has been unprecedently hot,
indeed, we can not take up an exchange
quarter without finding dolefu]
to the torrid temperature. At
■Davenport, lowa, on Monday, the mercury,
|ftit -I p. m., stood at 102 in the shade. Many
■cases of sun stroke occurred, and many
■harvest hands, frightened by the death of
■isoine of their fellow laborers, refused to
work.
I The New York 'Times has the f til owing
■interesting facts and figures, which are
■applicable to other localities than the one
■for which they were primarily intended :
■Since 1824, heat during the month of July
■ has been 87 degrees. In 1838, however, it
■ averaged 92 degrees, The general belief
■ that August is a hotter month thau July js
■ not borne out by facts, as the average
■ temperature during August, since 1821, has
■ not exceeded 85 degrees. During many
■ years the average temperature during August
■ was 79 degrees. Since 1825, the hottest
■ days of the year have occurred in July and
■ 'he latter end of June. The two hottest
■ days experienced since that time were June
■ dO, 1855, and July 10, 1858. On each
■ “cession the mercury rose to 103 degrees.
■lt will be remembered that the July of 1866
■ was extremely hot. Prof. Loomis says:
■ “ The hottest month, at New Haven, since
1 1778, was the mouth of July, 1825. The
■ heat of the past 30 days (July, 1866,) has
I been somewhat higher than that, of July,
I 1825, so that we seem authorized in slating
■ lhat the heat of the recent period has been
JB more intense, and the extreme heat has been
I longer continued, than has occurred before
I' D eighty-nine years, and probably fpr a
I much longer period.” »

that place the city authorities —a Majority
of whom were bachelors—thought that
every man ought to educate bis own chil

extend to Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri
and Texas. Attention has thus far been
given only to the largest towns and cities,'
'nnd it has generally been found that only
about one-third of the white childrenin

colored children were ib some way provided
with means of education and were actually

OUR ATLANTA LETTER.
Atlanta, Ga., July 21, 1868.
Ere this reaches you, doubtless, the news
has been conveyed through the electric me.
dium, that Georgia has again resumed her
station in the Union. It remains lobe seen
what profit will accrue to her for the boon
conferred, and her citizens, by future action,
must in alt things prove their devotion to the
perpetual union of these States, henceforth
supporting aud defending with vigor the
cardinal, principles of that instrumefit so
wisely framed, and which ignores sectional’
ism, and inviting all to take shelter under its
protecting wings. Some will never appre
ciate the clemeifcy exercised byonr Govern*
inent to a section which sought to uproot the
foundation of a system of laws the wisest
and best on earth. It is fit and meet that
all lovers of our common fatherland should
watch with a jealous eye any attempted
innovations upon the rights and privileges of
a free people. In future, “it were better
that a millstone be hung about their necks,”
if onVsingle drop*of bt6dd -shbul-l be-Mfe<l'
again in defence .of a Union cemented, in
days goue by, through thesame element.
In the House to day, the crowd was
immense long before the hour ol raoeting"
Members even were in their seats early, and
on a casual glance it required no expert to
detect that something of an unusual interest,
was expected. Ladies graced the hall by
their presence, and manifested quite an
anxiety not looked lor by the sex. The
sable African exhibited in a mojo marked
degree his interest, whilst news-boys, urchins
with fruit to sell, and a host of lobbyists,
were ever and anon caught tiptoeing in order
to get a view over the tall man in front.
Mr. O’Neal favored the adoption of the
joint resolution adopting the Fourteenth
Amendment, also, accepting the funds’
mental conditions in regard to relief, in a
pointed speech, concluding by calling for
tbc previous question, which was sustained-
Tlie yeas and nays being required, were
recorded, and are : yeas Bt>, nays 61—a
majority of 19.
It is the opinion of many that tlie majority
would have been much greater had the
measure been proposed at an earlier day,
which, however, was impossible, as the
eligibility question was inidey consideration•
Mr. Tumlin reported a resolution request
ing Congress to remove the political disa
bilities of all laboring under the same in
Georgia. It requires a vote of three fourths
to suspend the rules to act upon a resolution
introduced the same day, hence the same
was not acted upon, although the requisite
number lacked but little to bring it before
the House ; it lies over until to-morrow.
The House adjourned till 4 o'clock this
evening, in order, I suppose, to hear the
report of the committee appointed in refer
ence to the inauguration of the Governor-
It is believed by the knowing ones'that it
will take place to-morrow- in the Repre -
sdntative chamber.
As was the ease in the House, the Senate
had a large show of outsider- in attendance.
Mr. Merrell introduced the resolution
similar to the one in the House. Opposi
tion was manifested by wishing that the
subject matter be referred to the Committee
on the Judiciary, when appointed, with
instructions to report at an early day, but
this was. promptly voted down. On the
adoption of the resolution the yeas wero*2B,
nays 14—one llemoerat Winn) voting
yea.
Tt having seemed a foregone conclusion
that this body would pass the Fourteenth
Article, no manifestation of surprise was
evinced by either party.
The joint resolution of the House, ir>
reference to iaauguratfou, was t oeousred m,
after which there was an attempt made by
the minority of the Committee in the Bradley
ease (Senator from the First,) to make a
report, which was ruled out by the I’resideut,
- as the majority bad not yet reported.
Several propositions were made by various
members, but nothing definite arrived at; so
the Committee' will now ’meet atid act
promptly.
-The ejection for United Staten Senator
will, according to act of Congress, take place
next Tuesday. I can give you no tidings as
to whose shoulders the mantle will fall upon.

Mr. Editor: I see by the papers that the
firemen of Savannah made themselves eop
spicuous in the political demonstration in
favor of Seymour and Blair. Do they, like
our firemen, only design to “throw cold
water” on the Democratic nominees, or are
they only ambitious to designate their party
• as sqtfiars?

HOMICIDE!
William R. Hopkins Killed!
I'qrUculaie ok llic Tranenctioii.
Aboat 9 o'clock Inst evening William
Robert IJopkni*, tlte youngest son of Colonel
Charles IL Hopkins, was shot and almost
iiistnutly killeil by Mr. Isaac Russell, in the
bar room ol Frank Yeager, at the corner of
Minis and Jefferson skreeie. The cifcum
staucea relating to this irtlair are, as near as
we cap. learn, »» follows- .... ,
The deceased had been drinking during
tlje evening; and, just previous to the occur
rence which cost him his life, had a difficulty
in the street. A num named Collins was
with him, itnd Mr. llupkius caught and pulled
him to the ground, he (Collins) falling on
top. Some negroes, who were standing about,
thought Collins was beating Hopkins, and
they camp up and knocked him off. A scuflie
ensued, in the course of which Collins had
his leg broke.
The deceased then went into Yeager’s bar
room, considerably excited, and apparently
very much Under the influence of liquor. A
few minutes previous Mr. Bussell had left
his residence on Gaston street, and had gone
to the saloon to meet his brother Richard,
whom he thought w.is there. This was not
the case, however, and Mr. Russell took a
scat in the room and asked fur some
soda. It was at about this time that Hop
kips came in. He had entertaiaed feelings
of hostility towards Mr. Russell on accounted
the latter having been the officer who
arrested friffi on a charge of murder, and on
entering the door said something about the
1 rebel trying to arrest him,
and then turned towards Mr. Bussell aud
remarked, “ There’s one of these
re bel of here.” Mr, Russell
"arose from his seat and said, “ I don’t want
anything to do with you Mr. Hopkins,” and
was in the act of sitting down again when
Hopkins sprang forward aud struck him once
or twice on top of the head with the butt of
a pistol. Mr. Russell then clutched him,
drew his pistol and tired four shots in suc
cession, each of which struck the deceased.
At the fourth shot a person in the room
caught him as he' Artis tailing to the floor,
lie expired almost iqstaptly. Mr. Russell
walked out and delivered himself to Police
man Metzger, who took him to the county
jail, where he now is.
The body was followed to the house by a
large crowd of negroes, which was momenta
rily being augmented by fresh arrivals from
aH quarters, the news having spread like
wildfire. They rushed up the street, crying
“Rally ! Rally 1” and uttering threats of
vengeance. They remained in front of the
Hopkins residence for some time, and then
moved uff with the design of attacking Mr.
Phillip M. Russell’s house, on Gastou street.
A crowd of some two or three hundred of
them gathered in front of it, and the danger
oT an outbreak was imminent. Officers of
the police and aumbers of the friends of that
genifoinan arrived every moment, and the
negroes gradually dispersed. Heavy guards
were 5 thrown out about the neighborhood,
aud were kjipt up all during the night. Au
attack on the jail having fdso been threat:
ened, a force was so disposed as to protect
that institution. The excitement occasioned
by the affair was intense throughout the cd}’,
and the ruuwrs of an attack u'pon Mr.
Russell’s reSiileiice having spread, white men
could be seen until a late hour, coming from
every direction! and all moving towards tie
point of chief interest.
The distress caused qmong the family of
the deceased npmi the arrival of hi» body
was very great. JJis father is in Atlanta,
and a telegram was immediately sent to
notify him of the death of his son.
His Honor, Mayor Anderson, wasprouqg.-
ly informed of the occurrence, and at once
instituted measures for the preservation of
the public peace, and the prevention of any
outbreak. He visited the scene of the oc
cut once, and had the police force so dis
posed as to render effective service in case
Os need.
