Every booy started at the nnosnal sound, and even a painful look was visible on the oountenancee of almoet every one. The sound came from the direction of the Maoon and Western depot, and the shock sensibly felt. Widows rattled, and the oscillation of the staunchest buildings in the more immediate neigh borhood was painfully perceptible. In stinctively all started whence the explo- sipn proceeded. In the harry and oon- fonion to get there first, people h# nbt time, or were too busy with thgjr mental conjectures to enquire the cause of the commotion. AU the streets lead ing towards the Maoon and Western de pot were literally alive with hurrying masses. From the tops of houses and other high places, eager eyes and anx ious ears were strained for one sight or sound which would in any manner ex plain the cause of thia unusual eofunotion of nature. Some vaguely imagined that a FTB8T-CLASS BARTH QUAKE had suddenly come upon us, other that perhaps, the magazine, which is situated out in that direction, had by some means exploded; while the minds of others were centered upon what was then the proba ble condition of the Atlanta Flouring Mills, also situated in that immediate vi cinity. But the mystery was soon ex plained. Before the crowd had gotten witbin several hundred yards of the soene of the disaster, it was discovered that a LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE HAD BUB8TED HER BOILER. Then the horrible supposition flushed upon the minds of the breathless throng that certainly somo poor fellow-being had been hurried into eternity. Visions of mutilated bodies, crushed limbs and ghastly death were pictured in all the surrouudiugs. Numbers of people who .vere in a position to see when the explo sion took place, saw great bodies of some thing they oonld not distingush flying through the air at a fearful height Now, these bodies were supposed to be those of the meu employed on the ill-fated en gine. But these horrible forehodiugs were not of long duration. Soon the agreeable intelligence that MO ONE WAS KILLED passed from mouth to mouth with almost the rapidity of thought Then did we breathe freer, as if a load had beeu lifted suddenly from our bosoms. On approaching the wreck we saw that it was the venerable old switoh engine of the Maoon and Western Railroad, THE VULCAN. Her smoke-staclc and head-light were lifted out of their places aud lauded on the top of a box car immediately in front of the engine. All around was scattered pieces of iron, bolts, bars, wood, Ac. We learn from MB. HANCOCK, THE ENGINEER, that he had just reversed the steam in or der to get on a “sidling” with eleven box cars attached, when, aa he opened the throttle, the explosion took place. The furnace door was blown open, and Mr. Hancock was thrown over fin tho wood in the tender. Mr. Osborne, the fire man, was the only person, besides the engineer, on the Vulcan. NEITHER WERE HURT. With the exception of a slight scratch on the engineer’s face, both these gentle men miraculously escaped a most horrible death. THE DAMAGES. The Vulcan was an old, worn out en gine, used exclusively at this end of the M. A W. Railroad as a “switoh” engine. It was only the day before that she had beeu taken out of the shop, where she bad beeu undergoing some repairs to her boiler, and not three hours before the ex plosion she had been carefully examined and appeared to be all right. The boiler first gave way at the forward portion, and at the bottom, but extended all the way round, tearing away the entire front sec tion of her works. So great was the foroe of tbe steam that one of the trucks was shivered into several pieces, which were thrown some distanoe. The bell waa blown into atoms, and some of the pieces were found as high up as Forsyth street, some two hundred yards away. A piece of the boiler plate, weighing forty pounds, was thrown agaiuHt the wall of the large store house of A. K. Seago, corner Mitch ell and Forsyth streets, ABOVE THREE HUNDRED TABDfl OFF. Another pieoe fell in the lumber yard of Murphy and Merriam, neat' tbe above •tore, lighting on a pile of planks and breakiug several of them to pieees. But THE NARROWEST ESCAPE was made by our friend Bender and fam ily. A rod belonging to some part of the machinery, measuring about twelve feet in length and weighing at least one hundred pounds, was carried high in the air, and fell with a crash upon the back stoop of Bender’s bouse, oarrying away the balusters and a portion of the stoop. A large rent was made in the doth awn ing in tbe rear of the house, which is ased sa a beer garden. Fortunately Bone of the family were at that place. All around, pieces of boiler plate, wqoden beans, piston rods and other portions of the machinery were to be seen. Bnt THE WONDERFUL ESCAl’E of the engineer aud fireman wss truly providential. It is alno wonderful how ethers in the neighborhood missed the Biany deadly missiles whioh for a while filled the sir. What a fortunate thing it Was that the explosion did not take place at or near the crossings in the heart of the city.— Surely the satisfaction we have at this time of chronicling the death of uo one Wonld have been denied us.

Choaen and vworn for the April Term, 1971, of the Superior Court of Fulton county, Gu., veepeotluUy make the fallowing general proaentmenta; Through appropriate wmmitteea wa have oarotully and critically examined the Books and Records of the Sheriff, Tax Collector, Clerk of the Superior Court and Ordinary a. We are pleased to be able to make a good report of each aud all of theae Officials. Their books and papers show neatness, accuracy and Integrity, reflecting credit on them, and through them ou the county. Wc would rocoinnicnd that the Sheriff hereafter, when sales of property are made by him, enter hia docket the name of the purchaser and the date of the deed, aa made by him. Wa regret tn have Pi state that the Sheriff and hia subalterns are too negllgeut in the execution of Benoh Warranto placed in their hands, and that thia negligence has caused trouble iu bringing parties to trial. We Aud the books of the Counfy Treasurer neatly kept and the addition! correct; we also find rors and omissions, which we are convinced were not intentional aud which have been corrected books. We regret to state that tha Public Roads of the county are not in as good condition as they should be, proper attention not having been given to the mils posts, finger-boards, kc. We therefore recom mend that the Ordinary hold the Road Commission ers to a stricter account than heretofore, reporting subsequent Grand Juries any delinquency on tl part of tha officials. Tha Alma House la well managed under the super intendence of Mr. Laugford. There are at present ninety-seven (97) inmates, about tweuty-aight (2R) ol whom are supported by the county; tin- balance by the city of Atlanta. We find the Court House good repair, except the roof, which leaks. Wa re. commend that the Ordinary have proper ropain made on this at once. A new and substantial fern * has recently been erected around the Court Hi square. This is an improvement which has beeu needed sml uf which we entirely approve. The present Jail is not only insecure but entirely inadequate to the needs of the county. We arc pleased to state that a contract to build a new Jail for the sum of thirty thousand dollars in short date county beads and aeveu thousand dollars in United urreucy, luu been awarded to those responsi ble aud practical builders, Messrs. Alexander It Broom head—plena aud specifications of this jail, by tho Ordinary, having hcao previously submitted to and approved by this body. At the suggestion of the Ordinary a committee from this Jury, conalating of BenJ. K. Crane, A. K. Scago, John A. Doaoe and Q. W. D. Cook, was appointed to act with him in award ing the contract and In exorcising a general super vision over the building whilst it waa being erected. As there will be a comfortable dwelling attached to reoonimeud that tire Sheriff or hia Dep uty be required to use this dwelling aa hia residence. Owing to tbe dooliue iu provisions daring the past six mouths, we recommend that the Ordinary allow forty cento per diem for board for each prison er oonfint d in Jail. Wa have examined carefully the Tax Digest and the amounts needed for county pur poses, and recommend that tho Ordinary levy not exceeding seventy-A re per cent, on the Slate tax for county purpose*. Owing to the largo amount of business liefore the Superior Court, the District Court is almost indis- peusibie in this County. We find that Judge La* renoe and District Attorney Irwin are discharging their duties with i>rowptneas and fld.-l.ty; we recom mend. therefore, that thia Court ba continued, but should the Legislature abolish it, we request oui their best endeavors to have t dmilar basis, giv ing it jurisdiction no| only over misdemeanors, but in civil cases where the amount Involved ia not cetiding Five Hundred Dollars. We bsve examined into the official conduct of the Justices and ex-officio Justices of the Peace of this county, and whilst we have found moat of them ing in a worthy and upright manner, we regret to hava to state that wc ore compelled to make a differ ent report concerning some of theae officials. We And some of them entirely incompetent, both moral ly and mentally, for their official positions. We find that Uisy have settled and disposed of many of felony which have been brought before their CoiirU; that they bare otherwise acted in a manner to avoid and delay the due course of the proceedings of law ; that settlements have been made and that these officials luva been offered settlements with parties for cer tain sums of money after bonds had been required from s;ii<l parties for their appearance before the next HuiH-rior Court—that they have failed to return to the proper courts hundreds of cases, some of which data back ae far as 1%'.* and some of which arc among the gravest known to tho penal code. The very large number of them cases forbid the assumption that they wen the result of accident That they have in sundry and divers cases offered to settle with parties secured of crime, upon payment of certain sum-* of money, which settlements are unknown and routrary to the law. In view of tli.se In ta we recommend our imme diate representatives in the next General Assembly to obtain, if poesild • the enactment of a law requir ing aU Justices and ex-officio Justices of the Peace to keep a regular docket of each and ovary case brought before thorn—tho uature of tho offence and disposition of tho case and that it be made a penal offence, ou the i*rt of theaa Justices to omit or tail, one or more instances, to mskc proper entries d docket at the time when wild cases were be fore them. Further, that they be required hibit said docket to each grand jury during the year, and that failure to do so lie made a penal offence. also request our Representatives to endeavor have tho law changed relative to parties renting houses which are need tor gaming houses. It being under the present law almost impossible to prevent parties from renting houses tor thia purpose. In this connection we also request tho present efficient Mayor of the oit^ of Atlanta to instruct the police officers of the city to use greater dlligenoe in ferret ing out theae houses; to enter the same whenever they have reason to suspect that they are being nsod as gaming houses; to arrest and to lie bound over to tbe next 8upo- Gonrt all parties found engaged in gaming therein aud by tnasc frequent arrests cause is evil to cease. We further recommend the ec- tment of s law allowtug the Foreman of Grand Ju ries. when deemed necessary, to administer a similar creay which members of Grand Juries now take. In taking leave of Ilia Honor, Judge Hopkins and of Solicitor General llowell, we return them our thank# for the* kindness and courte sy they have extended to thia body, assuring them H high appreciation of the diligence, ability and integrity which has characterised their official ac- jgnixing as we do that tbey arc faithful ud that a pure Judiciary is tho greatest safeguard to our civil aud a.vial institutions. picet tint the General Presentments be pub lished in the city papers.

John Van Lear McMahon, who died at Cumberland, Md , on the 15th inst-., two days before hia brother- in-law, Mr. Vallandigham, waa formerly at tbe head of tho Maryland l>*r. In old NVlug tinu-a It.- waa one of the moat olo- queut ol ptmUi-ai orators, aud Prvauleut Harrison ia said to have ottered him the ehoiee of any oflieo in his gift save oue. The llaltimore American ssya of him: There waa a depth md power in his voioe that bnt few speaker, have ever poe- ■eased. Addressing an .adienoe of ten twnwnd people is the open air, every r. ntonoc that fell from his lip. could be c ; -tinctly heard. Possessing enthusiasm a 1 humor, and wonderful versatility of n nner and felicity of expression, hia campaign speeches were the obleet and moat effeotivo ever delivered. He oon- trib: ted more than any other man In build up the Jackson party in Maryland, and when he left the party upon tho United States Hank question, he dealt it many telling blows. In the campaign of 1.140 ho took a most oonapicuous part— Be preaided at tho great ratification meeting held on the Canton race-course, when Clay, and Webster, and Preston n ado speeches. It was upon thiaooca- sion that Mr. McMahon began hia speech with the famous sentence. “Every valley has Its rill, every mountain its stream, and lol the avalanche of the people iu herd” He waa tho author of tho history of Maryland, of which only one volume waa published. From 1827 to 18G3 he prac ticed law iu llaltimore, but, being .fillet ed with partial loss of sight, returned to Cumberland, his native place, in which and Dayton he spent the remainder of hi- days. Had ho lived he would have r : lpleted his seventy-first year on the In h of August next. He was nover mar- r Tho Baltimore Sun relates tho fol- h ling incident illustrating his popular- •*i ! ‘He was about twenty-flvo years ago ca ed upon by a lady of Charles county, in his Htate, to draw her will, which ho di , st her request leaving a blank foe tli name of the devisee. He waa groat- ly astonished at the death of the lady, not long after, to learn that his name lioil been inserted in thu blank places in thu will, und that, in admiration of his tal ents, sho had bequeathed him liim her property, valued atover #25,000.” Ibis man was an intimate friend ami great admirer of John C. Calhoun. Hia relations with Kevordy Johnson were con fide atial and friendly. Over tho conven tion which nominated Gen. W. H. Har rison for President he presided. It was iu Baltimore, Maryland. The crowd iu attendance was immense. In calling tho convention to order he used tho memoru - irds “Tho nation will come to order.” A European letter furnishes som i facts which it very properly calls cu rious, 03 they certainly are iutcrest- Thcre is much evidence to show that Bismarck coolly contemplated and desired to bring about the exter- m-nation of every Red Republican ies der throughout Europe wbo could lie induced to go to Paris. “Let them alnre long enough,” said he, “and Hit revolutionist in Europe will Ice his rendezvous in Paris. Then wl en the trap is perfectly full, we wi 1 shut the door and bag the whole of them.” The plan was u shrewd one, and it was worked well. Tho Germans kept the doors open at .St. Denis to the very last moment Any one who wish'd to enter Paris could do so up to Sunday morning before the Versailles troops made their entry; tin it the door was shut to with a bang. Xo one was allowed to come out. Tho Germans moved up closer, and killed very one who attempted to escape, and now, doubtless through his iu- flnence, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain and Italy are ready to seize and to sen 1 back to death any fugitive who ma;. have escaped by balloon or oth erwise. The trap was full of foreign revo'utionists—that is certain. Tho Figaro, to-day, publishes a list of the names of the military and political leaders of the Commune. Uf this list forty-nine are foreigners. There were of these twenty-one Poles, eight Italians, seven Germans and two or three each of Belgians, IVallachians, Hungarians, Portugese, Spaniards, mid soi disant Americans’” The Famine in Persia. Tho stories of tho Persian famine, re sulting from long drouth and crop failure last year, are terrible. The peoplo oro literally dying of hunger in the streets of Teheran. In Khomssan parents are sell ing their children as slaves to the Turco mans in order to keep them alive, and in Ispahan, as is said, men havo been seized in the act of digging up corpses to serve as food for their starving families. In Shi .iz-Kerman and Yezd the wretched fan. .lies endeavor to support life on tho gnus and roots which they may find in the neighborhood, aud, os might be ex pected, pestilence follows hard on tho footsteps of famine; between them, tho half of the kingdom of Persia is being rapidly depopulated. Tile World denies the truth of the story that Mr. Greeley, in hia late ag ricultural speech in Texas, advised the farmers not to permit their but ter-milk and sweet-milk cows to run togetherinthe sameherd^^^^ COMMERCIAL *' ScUlUtf I 12 8iltkr, bnying 4 " selling H Exchange on New York, baying at par. 8ellin# at i# premium.
