DtSTftlCT COl JUT. The City Council aad Soila Water—Mr. TIguor Eiplalui Sabbath Violation* I The Court room yesterday morning waa not infested with as many niggers as 1 usual; and, no doubt, the sad fate of tho misoegenationists contributed to this ab sence. It wss again over an hour after the regular timo before tho Court pro ceeded to business. Tho excitement of the dsy wss tho rowans of the city council. On the petition of a number of physi cians, the City Council of Atlanta passed an Ordinance allowing druggists to sell soda water and kindred drinks upon the Sabbath. On the seoond day of Aagnst O. J. Anderson was arraignod before the Mayor's Court by polioeman Barry, charged wi th soiling soda water on Sunday. His Honor declined to pnnish Anderson far the offenoe, on the ground that as the Council hod passed an Ordinance allow ing druggists to sell it, ho would not pun ish others for doing it also, claiming that the Onlinonoo was class legislation, and was therefore unconstitutional. Tho po lice, accordingly, had tho matter brought before the District Court. Mr. Attorney Irwin openod for the State, and claimed that in all matters over which the State exorcised statute ju risdiction, it was not legitimate for the city authorities Jto assume jurisdiction. As tho State exercises jurisdiction over the sanctity of tho Sabbath, no act of the City Council of Atlanta con make it legal to violate the Subbath, either by the sale of drinks or in any other way. Only such works os arc of necessity or charity, arc ollowod. Tho City Council of Atlanta has no right to ride ovor, or sot aside, tho solemn act of the Legisla- taro of Georgia. Every man is answer able to the State tor the violation of the laws, and no municipality lias any right to impose upon him an additional pun ishment. Mr. Irwin's argument was a clear, exposition of the legitimate sphere of municipal bodies. Mr, Tignor, for tho defence, “rose to explain.'' Ho delivered an ingeniousand humorous argument, satisfying the entire audience, of the pleasant taste and good effects of soda water, ovou though he did not quite satisfy the jury of its legal ity. He reviewod tho probablo reasons which led the City Council to (mss the Ordinance, alleging that men were heated all the week by tho use of strong drinks, and that the Council thought proper to give thorn ono day in whioh to cool off. Af ter making a very pleasant argument, ho closed, and tho jury retired. They brought in a vordist of guilty. As tho oaso was only a tost quostion, for tho sako of sottling n mooted point, His Honor inflicted but a nominal penalty—85 and costs—fonthis offence. Tho case of Moistor, white, miscogo- nationist, was continued until Septem ber. Win. Mathershod, an old white man, apparently on tho brink of tho grave, was found guilty of miscegenation. His sentouco will be road to-day. Squire Manuel, negro, misoogenation. Plead guilty. Soutouood to 8500 lino, six months nt bard labor. Hampton Scott, negro, misoegonation. Pleaded marriage.

Tiring of tho stereo typed amusements, they got up a game of cards, and a prominent tonnty officer was elected banker. One of the players was detected chesting, and, was, in due legal style, elected. A judge was ap pointed, a jury drawn, and the attorney for the State preferred a change of cheat ing and swindling against the culprit.

Tho Strangest Satctde Yet, A very extraordinary occurrence is re ported from St Ives, Cornwall. A gen tleman was walking over Lolaut Towans in the evening, when he observod a log out! an nrm of a man sticking out of the sand. Aid was soon obtained, when it was identified as that of a half-witted person named John Sandow, of St. Ives, who hod been soon in tho town at about throe o'clock in the afternoon. It is generally believed that the de ceased destroyed his life by bole ha tho sand and burying alive, while some are of the opinion that he had excavated one of tho many large rabbit holes which abonnd in tho local ity, and had gone into it in puranit of a rabbit, and liail been unablo to extricate himself. A family In Florida lost their little boy, and advertised for him in a doily paper. That very afternoon an alligator crawled up out of the swamp and died on the front door step. In hia stomach wis found a handful of rod hair, some bone buttons, a pair of boot heels, a glass al ley, a pair of cheok pants, and a paper oollar. The advertisement did it. A locomotive whistle can be heard, under ordinary circumstances, 3,800 yards, or nearly two miles; the noise of a reilrway train, 9,800 yards; the bark of a dog or the report of a musket, 1,800 yards; and the human voioe 1,000 yards. This is of ooone on the supposition that other sounds do not intervene and con fuse the hearing. OOMMHIIOI A I* MUKIIL AID COMMJCUCIAL.

Editorn Daily Sun: Yesterday ut one o’clock the Convention adjourned and the delogates upon the special train in which they had come from Atlanta, repaired to the Fair Grounds, where a most sumptuous feast had been prepared by the hospitable lto- muus. The Collation was a perfect success, and if, according to the doc trine of the old schools, the seat of the soul be in the stomach, the citi zens of this place have made a deep impression upon the members of the Convention. At four o’clock, how ever, the Body re-assembled at the Court House, and proceeded to busi ness, which was the discussion of Judge Wm. Schley’s report on Com mercial Fertilizers. This rejtort evok ed considerable discussion in which opposition to that class of manures seemed to predominate. The rules were then suspended, and the Con vention went into the election of of ficers, whose terms expired at this meeting. The elections wore unani mous and by acclamation; after the delegates of the several Congressional Districts had made the reports of their nominations. The officers elected arc: For President, A. H. Colquitt 1 at Congressional District.—For Vice President, Wm. Schley, of Chat ham, member Ex. Com., II. D. Ca pers, of Chatham. 2<i Congressional District.—Vice President, D. A. Vason, of Dougherty, member Ex. Com., J. K. Barnum, of Stewart. 3d Congressional District.—Vice President, R. J. Redding, of Schley, member Fix. Com., Jas. II. Fannin, of Troup. 4th Congressional District.—Vice President, L. F. Livingston, of New ton, member Ex. Com., J. S. Lawton, of Monroe. 5th Congressional District.—Vice President, Samuel Barnett, of Wilkes, member Ex. Com., T. J. Smith, of Washington. 6th Congressional District.—Vice President, R. D. Moore, of Clarke; Member Ex. Com., It D. Wynn, of Gwinnett. 7th. Congressional District.—Vice President, C. W. Howard, of Bartow; Member Ex. Com., Wm. Phillips, of Cobh. Mr, John Colley, of Calhoun county, was elected to till the vacan cy in the 2d District, caused by the resignation of Col. B. C. Lockett An attempt was made to bring up the question of tho location of the con templated agricultural college, soon to be established by Georgia. There are very large ana able delegations here, from the several sections seek ing that object, but Milledgeville seemed to have the most friends, and I have no doubt will be the successful competitor. It is really refreshing to one who has seen the last Goorgia Legislature in session to look for a while on this body of men—the yeomanry of the country, the reliable, honest, hard working farmers of tho State, upon whom all men and all interests arc dependent. Last night the Convention met to hear Gen. Gordon upon the subject of “Southern Education,” after which Col. W. J. Lawton, of Macon, the special commissioner to report on agricultural colleges, and the expedi ency and feasibility of their establish ment, was heard from. The great question comes up in its regular order on to-morrow, viz:— “The disposition of the land script donated to the State by Congress for the establishment of an agricultural college.

CliARKSVlLLR, TkNN., Aug. 8, 1871. Editors Sun: It is natanl for yon to enquire in what roepeet I like this place and its surroundings. To do justice in answering moro space would be required than yon can spare. It is simply impos- ible in my present triune ot mind. For here are to be found beautiful maidens and oomely matrons; gallent men and distinguished statesmen, noted for their hospitality and patriotism. Then, too, the city ot Clarksville, perched upon twenty hills, looking down upon the beautiful Cumberland meandering at their base, and the wonderfully fertile hills and valleyB of tho surrounding coun try, groaning under the weight of prom ising crops of tobacco and maize are fruitful topics, and I might ooeupy all the space were I to attempt to convey to yoai readers one tithe of my impremiona. If yon will examine the map you will that Clarksville is bnt a few miles from the line between Kentucky and Tenncesee. Muoh of its trade is derived from the neighboring counties in Ken- tuoky. Banning through the ooantiaa in the two States of Kentucky aad Ten nessee, tribatary to the trade of Olarks vflle, there is a "streak” of land charac termed by a RED LIMESTONE SOIL, that seems pecuniarily adapted to the production of a heavy, velvety, gummy variety of tobacco that ia preferred in Holland and Belgium and on the conti nent of Europe to all other varieties.— Clarksville tobacco is favorably known there, aad broken from tho European States mentioned are often to be seen bidding at the solos in the lonaooo EXCHANGES in this little city. Clarksville is close by the volualdo iron regions of Middle Tenneeeec. Before the war it owed much of its consequence to the iron masters, who did much buui ness through the banks located here.

Clarksville is well supplied with CHURCHES AND 8CHOOIA It is the scat of Stewart College, an in stitution under tho patronage of the Presbyterian Church. Oglethorpe University, at Atlanta. Da vidson College, in North Carolina, and Stewart Collego, at Clarksville, are the chief literary institutions, under the con trol of tho Southern Presbyterian Church. Tho Clarksville Female Academy is a large and flourishing institution, under the management of Iiev. J. B. West.— Tho Academy building has capacity for a school (with boarding house attached,) of two or throe hundred pupils. Atlanta boasts a population of thirty- five thousand. Yet Clarksville, with u population of thirty-five hundred, con tains handsome accommodations for tho pupils of Stewart College aud the Feinalo Academy, of tho like of which Atlanta can mako no boast. When AN ATLANTESE IS “ON HIS TRAVELS” It is natural for him to speak ot the wonders achieved by us “developers,” os Mr. Toombs calls us. You may be sure I always feel proud of our Gate City.— Haro wo not churches, a State House, a Council Hall,Fair Grounds,big hotels,De pot buildings and machine shops? But when I visit towns where there are magnifi cent college and academy buildings, I ‘ ‘sing low” in regard to them; and, if forced to answer by the tortures of some inquisi tive fellow, I enlarge and amplify upon what “wc are going” to do in the educa tional line. You know we have not done much in that way yet. Con you not hurry up our people a little? Tell them just to have pity upon their wandering fellow citizens, whose pride in our city is so often cruel ly wounded by the question, “How many,land w hat kind of college, ocalen jr and senool buildings have yon in Atlanta? Clarksville boasts of two weekly news papers—tho Chronicle anil tho Tol-aox) Leaf. The former is an old institution, the latter a new enterprise. THE TRADE OE CLARKSVILLE is very large considering the number of its inhabitants, and a number of its citi zens are very wealthy. Squallid poverty is almost unknown hero. During the last twelvo months thoro have been sold hero at the two tobacoo exchanges (one in the heart of the city and the other at Trice's landing, just be low tho town), SIXTEEN THOUSAND HOOSHRADS OF LEAF TOBACCO. A hogshead .weighs from sixteen to twcnty-flvo hundred pounds. Avcrging each at two thousand pounds, the to bacco sold hero in twelvo months amounts to thirty-two millions of pounds; enough to fill many a Southerner's pipe. Adjoining Montgomery is BODEBTSON COUNTY, so celobratcil for its brand of whisky.— Though I have been here nearly a week, I have yet to moot with a single drunken man. Either these people do not drink Robertson, or if they do tho gennino or- ticlo docs not seem to have tho intoxica ting effects that its imitations produce in distant markets. Tho veritable Col Woodward, the prince of Robertson county distillers, was in town to-day. He looks as sober as a judge, and justly complains of tho uu warrantable use mode of his nnme on the heads of barrels coutoiuiug Cincinnati “burst hood.” While I liko this country very much, I like its people for their whole-souled hospitality. I like to see the abundance of creature comforts at their command. I liko their quiet demeanor, anil admire the independence of every man and wo man I meet here. Yet they strike A LIVE GEORGIAN ‘as sadly in want of enterprises. The soil is so fertile that slovenly formers make a good living by working lazily a few weeks in the year. They arc not com pelled to enterprize, and vast as arc the resources of tins people, they are not making as much progress commercially as their opportunity justify and afford. On Sunday last I attended AN OLP FASHIONED BASKET MEETIXO six miles in the country. Every body, his wife and children and all tho beaux and belles for several miles around wore there. After the morning sermon, a re past, (the joint contribution of the heads of families,) was spread upon the green. Tho rural felicity of tho occasion, will not soon bo forgotten by your humble servant, who has been for three years shut up in Atlanta, mid the bustle and anxieties of our growing city. On this occasion I could but remark the quiet demeanor of the multitude, the beauty and modesty of the simply attired maid ens and tile self-reliant and heartfelt ap pearance of the stalwart men and vigor ous youth aud boys. I was told that BUCK THR WAR baskot meetings liavo come much moro into voguo than formerly. The abolition of sbvory has rendered week-day visiting loss convenient and practicable. But, true to their neighborly instincts, the rural popnlation, in this' section of tho State, assemble every Babbath at Bun- day school. H no preacher is present, some one reads a sermon, or chapter from tho Biklo. Prayers aro offered und hymns ore sung to flu up tho time until noon, when the contents of tho baskets ore spread and the neighbors dino to gether. They linger until only time is afforded to get to their respective homos. Thus the day is spent in tno worship of God and the cultivation of loro for neighbors. Who will say that tho Sab bath is desecrated thereby. Duel with Broadswords. Yesterday morning about 11 o'clock, two young gentleman, both natives of this city, met in the rear of Burthenlie to settle a quarrel of old standing with broadswords —cut and thrust. After fencing for about fifteen minutes the challenging party roeoived a severe wound over the left temple, and tho combat ended. Tho wound, which is a ont about three inches long, althongk painful, is not considered dangerous. The polioe arrived on the spot in time to be too late to see tho fight, which is reported to have boon a spunky one.—TVVip Orleans Com mercial Bulletin, Juli/ 29. Humors of the Camt>uign.
