Valedictory.
With this iuuc of The Sun my
connection with it cease*, aud I am re
lieved of a charge ami a responsibility
which 1 find in) time too much other

satisfaot ion.
My. UKHveiation with its jaditicul
direction from tile first was not ex
pected to lie permanent, as I came to
Atlanta to pursue the practice of
law : hut feeding a deep interest in the
welfare of my friend, the proprietor
at that time, and still one of them, I
consented, upon his repeated solicita
tions, to procure a law office near
him, advise and write for him as my
tiipe and opportunities might permit.,
for an amount stipulated lie! ween ns,
ntil sneh time as the (wiper could be
ut ti|h 111 a permanent footing. That
ime has arrived, and I leave it to de
mote my whole time to my profession.
It is now well established, and will no
doubt maintain a good position to-
fore the country as a tirst class daily.
Some curiosity has I urn manifested
from the first, as to my motive and
object in coming to Atlanta, and as
sociating myself in this manner with
a Daily l’a|ier—an association for
which, it is very Well known, I have
neither taste or inclimil ion—and some
have even imagined that I was on tin
eve of going into the newspaper busi
ness and quit ling the liar, of which I
, bail not the most remote idea. I cante to
Atlanta to practice law, uuytbingclso

noj explained—being u plain man
with other things to attend to.
I have only been able to employ it
small jsirtion of time, not neeilcd by
other engagements, to write an occa

From the Columbus Sun of the 16th
re c omleuse the following report of the
proceedings of a meeting of the Execu
tive Committee of the Columbus and At
lanta Air Line Railroad, held in that city
on the 15th. The Executive Committee
is com|H>Hed of J. L. Mustian, of Colnm-
ulAn, l)r. W. W. Bruce,-of Harris county,
mid Gen. A. Austell, of Atlanta. Gen.
Amtell was not present :
Col. MiiHfian was elected chairman,
and J. G. DeVotie secretary.
Col Must inn rcud the proceedings of
the last meeting of the Executive Com
mittee, when a call was made for 8100,-
000 in suh‘ criptions, of which five per
cant should he paid in for the purooae
of a survey. Ho reported one hundred
and seventy-five shares from citizens of
Muaoogi* county, representing 817,500,
and paid $875.
Dr. Bruce reported he had obtained
830,000 from Hums county. Three or
(our othera had been appointed to col-
loct subscription# ; and he supposed the
county would give $50,000 to 875.000.
Col. Harris reported Meriwether had
milscribed $35,000 to the prop<Nsed New-
iikii uud Americua road ; but if it could
he shown that the Columbus aud Air
Line was feasible that the sulmcriptioa
would he trausferred to it with the addi
tion of 816.000.
Messrs. M. M. Tidwell andW. P. Red-
, (h*h‘gates from Fayette, reported
that ■ * ‘
T
II give to the extent, of their means.
Fulton county was represented by no
delegate, but itfr. Geo. W. Cook offered
to take the bulanoe of the stock and pay
the 5 per cent.
In Harris and Fayette it was not un
derstood that the 5 per cent was to be
paid to-day—lienee their failure.
“ ‘ Harris contended the meeting
legns via fee Mobile and Girard Rail
road, whiofcis toIte completed. Allus
ion was made by several to diverting the
stack anbtedbed to tbs 9. k 8. road to
this routed as they deemed the North
and Bouth road tould not be built.
Mr. Cook said fee Btete Road and the
Air Line wanted an outlet this way. He
thought one dollar per acre not too great
for farmers to snliscribe. He wanted it
understood he bad Dot represented the
* ig one. H« deemed
the enhancing of property along the
line, and cheapening freights suffijient
to take stock.
Mr. Tidwell made a strong talk in fa
vor of the enterprise.
Meeting adjourned at 10* o’clock.

The recent action of the Board of
Directors of your company basing
your road to the Georgia Central

diHsatis f action of certain interested
parties, makes it my duty to commu
nicate to von the main reasons which
have influenced the Directors in
making this lease.
The lease has been made for the
interest of your company. You arc
well aware that there are two roads
•onneefing with your road at Macon,
, _* _ _ . , and that one of these roads (the Ma-
haft county has Huhncnbed $10,700.- | con A Brunswick) through its North-

thut 1 should retreat from the strong
conservative tone which 1 have at

the paper since mv connection with
it. The line indicated by me as po
litical editor, is still, in my judgment,
the right one.
The great interests of the country
remiire that the Democracy Norm
ami South should he a unit in the
coming Presidential election, in a
word. I think that tin* rule of tin*
Democracy ought to lie secured if
it this time, owing to the previous reso
lution of (ho Executive Committee that
only ufjer the survey was made could the
-Pool.holders bo called together to elect
them. Others had different views. Mr.
(knly stated a resolution appropriating
850,000 to the road had been introduced
into the Council of Columhus. He
thought it would pass and would be made
8100,000.
Without arriving at any conclusion
meeting at 2* p. m. adjourned to 4 p. m.
THK A FTKHNOON SESSION

of Atlanta, being culled on, made a prop
osition as follows: If the people along
the line of the road will jpve me $5,000
a mile (for which I will give certificates
of stock) in addition to the charter,
which provides for $12,000 from the
State, and the control of the Board of
Directors, I will build the road, of any
gauge you may desire, from Columbus to
Atlanta, working equally at both.ends,

dor its control; the efforts they have
made varied as circumstances justi-
tied, and anything but the placing of 'SuTSSSTSm

ing the same a* their equipment to do
their business.)
These statements have been hastily
gotten np for the ettention of the (took
this road at the disposal and control
of themselves, is likely to give them
displeasure. It is my purpose to give
yon a statement taken from the re
port of the President of the Maeon &
Brunswick Railroad for the last year,
and that of the Central Railroad for
the same time, showing you the capi
tal stock of said roads, and the net
earnings of each—then to connect
with each the corresponding report
of the Macon ft Western Railroad,
which will show you how your prop
erty will lie affected if leased to either
of these roads, and what will lie the
relative position when leased to what
it would be in its iudcjiendenl posi
tion.
Without further introductory, I will
commence with the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad Conipanv’s last
annual report: The President of

ry 1st, 1871, in the tabular.statement
dated December HU, 1870, (which is
intended to exhibit the assets aud lia-
snrrouudiug influences which indneed

A young man of this city attempted
to destroy himself yesterday by drink

he had fallen desperately, in love with
a fair inamorata, who aid not incline
to his suit when he made the delicate
proposition to wed. Despondency
set in upon him, and he resorted to
laudanum to relieve himself of his
troubles, and took an ounce of the
fluid. He waa found in a comatose
state, with his mouth swung wide
open, and evincing every sign of be
ing on the brink of death. A phy
sician was called in, who gave him an
emetic, and took away from him as
much of the poison as possible. He
was aroused and kept walking for
hours, and was Anally sent to the
hospital, where he lies with eveiy

The Marshall Hose Company of
iSavannuh have gone to New York,
and from thence will go to Boston to
take part in the celebration of the
battle of Bunker Hill. ThU sounds
so entirely different from the wav
such announcement* would have read
ten years ago, that it is interesting.
| A correspondent of the Republican is
i along, and we make itn extract from
j his terse letter to that paper, written
from New York:
After waving our handkerchiefs to
our wives, sweethearts and friends on
lust Sat unlay noon, and getting the
uprising tears properly damned; after
bidding adieu to the beautiful Forest
City and its surroundings, and taking
a last lingering look at the receding
land, and afte r enjoying such a din
ner ns is provided invariably on this
line, we took a contented view of the
situation. The Marshall Hose Com
pany stood the water well; with a fine
sea breeze, and a comparatively calm
sea, but few went to the side to do
homage to Neptune. The first after
noon at sea w as spent in hunting uj
apartments, disposing of persona
baggage, and in such amusements on
deck by which travellers usually em
ploy their leisure time. While the
bulk of the passengers were thus em
ployed, we strolled around as an in
dustrious correspondent should do—
first making our observations npon
the few inches of plank whioh sepa
rated us from the mermaids of ocean
deep. The Magnolia is one of the
staunchest, steadiest and most reliable
ships we ever trusted ourself in.—
Captain George W. Palmer is In every
sense of the word a oommander—
sociable, entertaining and kind, his
object is to make all on board feel at
home, and to make everything pleas
ant and agreeable to his passengers,
in which he is ably seconded by his
subordinate officers.
You know how it is yourself as re
gards the monotony of a sea trij>—
suffice to say that the usual routine
prevailed, with the exception thut on
the 11th, the sea being quite rough,
several of the Marshall Hose boys
were singing out for New York, in
other words, hud gone back upon

The Captured Horse Thieve*.
We mentioned a few days since the
capture of two horse thieves near
Dahlonega, Ga., by the citizens of
that place. Since then we have re
ceived the “ Signal” which gives the
particulars of tlie outrage. The edi
tor speaks his sentiments right out,
and upon the whole we don’t know if
he is not more than half right. As
soon us the fact became known the
citizens immediately commenced a
id search but could find no trace
the horses coming into or going
out of town.' That night every road
leading from town was strictly guar-
ded. The guard stationed on the
roadleuding to Atlanta were startled tii.pouti..nor u.ir cndiun, ui, o^uioicourt
after moon rise, on Saturday morning
by two men riding upon them aud
who proved to be the thieves. Uu-
fortunately their pistols snapped too
often and the thieves ran on down the
road, but were pursued—our boys
oapturing the horses and two hats—
Saturday they were caught hutless.—
One gives his name Michael John
Kelly, aud the other as James Hoe-
nan. They belong, if uot discharged,
to the 5th U. S. Cavalry, and were
stationed at this point some time ago.
Kelly is 5 feet 1 inch high, bluoeyer,
ruddy complexion, light hair, and
weighs about 122 pounds. Heenan
