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.

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.

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.

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. MORE AIIOCT OP THE M. I HAT LEASE At W. R. H.

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 u im convened at 41 p. m. Mr. Gook, of 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, Having a surplus to re- serve fund 883,244 8ft Contrast the Central Railroad with this small capital and full equipment in every respect, having all the necessaries of a first-class road, with 66 looomotives and 850 cars aud the Macon and Musters Railroad with its 264 ears and 18 loco motives and'all it* department in porfeot order, with the Maoon and Brunswick Railroad, whose official report Blown 16 locomotive* and I Nippon perhaps 900 mad* oonoi constant efforts to get this rood uii dor its control; the efforts they have made varied as circumstances justi- tied, and anything but the placing of 'SuTSSSTSm cam (no mention being ing the same a* their equipment to do their business.)

Without further introductory, I will commence with the Macon and Brunswick Railroad Conipanv’s last annual report: The President of that road in his rejiort. dated Jumin- ry 1st, 1871, in the tabular.statement dated December HU, 1870, (which is intended to exhibit the assets aud lia- snrrouudiug influences which indneed the measures for future protection to each road, furnish some of the reason* w hy the Directors of the lfeoon end Western Railroad leased that road to the Central Railroad aad Bonking Company of Georgia.

The undersigned hereby give* notice of hia ap- 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 T I O XI. ege Comnionoementa BUPTS OF PICE OEOllOU RAILROAD.
