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.” » The FcnteHly Fsand. Dr. Sears, the agent, has, since he was appointed, visited ten of $c Southern The plan which he adopt* isYo vifeit thqcity government of the various cities, and com municate to thorn his mission ; and if they ' establish the system of free schools, he offers from his fund to bear a portion of tht bur den for the current year, generally about two-fifths of the amount required for in struction. In seven of the States free schools have thus been established in the principal cities, aud tbq plan has every where met with the earnest cooperation arid sympathy of the intelligent portion of the Southern people. In only one place has Dr. Sears met with a decided rebuff, and in that place the city authorities —a Majority of whom were bachelors—thought that every man ought to educate bis own chil dren. The provisions of the fund do not 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 those places were attending schools—gen erally from the wealthier families—in private schools at great expense, and that in the same places about two-thirds of the colored children were ib some way provided with means of education and were actually at schools. 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. Baldwin. [Communicated. QUERY.

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. PERSONAL ITEMS. Anna Dickinson is in Manchester. • Henry J.

Atlanta, July 22.—R. B. Bollock was inaugurated Governor at noon. His address is brief, aud laudatory of the Republican party, aud condemnatory of the President's policy. He says that experience has proved the wisdom and justice of conferring suffrage on freedmen. A national salute was fired in honor of the event. General Meade and staff were present at the ceremony, which passed off quietly. Both Houses ndjourned over till 10 a. m. Friday.

The city is crowded with visitors to the Democratic mass meeting. Congressional. Washington, July 22. — Senate : Robert boh and Sawyer, Senators from South Caro lina, were seated. The seating of Sawyer excited prolonged discussion. Affidavits of C. C. Bowen and Thomas J. Mackey, declaring the belief that Sawyer was ineligible, that he was a share holder in a blockading company, and a member of a military organization in Charleston in 1864, was read. Senator Conkling suid he was free to say that he did not- believe one word of the charge against Sawyer. Robertson, who had been previously seated that he might speak and vote in Sawyer’s case, said that he heard none of these charges in the South Carolina Legis lature, and he believed them to be unfound ed, and brought up by disappointed friends of Dr. Mackey. " The arming of the Southern- States, was again discussed. The Bill will undoubted' ly become a law before Congress adjourns. A concurrent resolution to take recess from next Monday to the third Monday in September was passed. Adjourned. Houss : Kellogg, of Alabama, and Tift, .of South Carolina, were seated.

The Secretary of the Treasury and the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, however, had advices that the bill was not signed. The Speaker had no other infonnatioil other than that contained in the President’s message, aniiouiicing that the bill had been sighed. The amendments to the Alaska Appro priation were disapproved, and a coinmiltee of conference appointed. A bill extending the time for the comple tion of the Southern Pacific railroad was passed. Washington Items. ViASHixuTON, July 19.—The apprehend ing of unfavorable hygienic results from the removal of the Confederate dead from Johnson’s Island cause it to be postponed. Southern members have a caucus this inorniir? to consider the situation of Virginia, Mississippi aud Texas, and to make arrange ments for the campaign. The Senate passed a bill directing seven engineers to report at the next session regarding the bridging of the Ohio, and in th* meanlime bridge building, except at Louisville, will be suspended. The House passed the Funding bill substantially as it was published oi> Monday latt. The Appropriation bills, -aggregating two hundred and ninety-two millions, have passed. Blair’s toiler of aCUeptahee is published in this moriiiug’s Intelligencer. The President proclaims the adoption of the Fourteenth Article by the alleged Ala bama Legislature. The President nominated 8. Ferguson, of Beach District, Attorney for Virginia; Alvin Hawkins, Consul General to Havana; Wm.* E. Wells, Collector of the Fourth Virginia District; Wm.

The meeting adjourned till to night. The uncertainty about the tax trill creates much excitement. It seems proba ble now that the President will veto it on the ground of innovations on the appoint ing power. The Senate will disagree to the House amendments to the funding bill. Alabama Legislature. Montgomery. July 22.—A bill was to-day introduced in the Senate to stop every suit bow on the different dockets that were begun at a period since April 18tb, 1861, and upto April 18th, 1868, and make them null and void.
