your paper of 26th instant a long notion
of a Stock-pen, which leaves tho impres

There is also in connection with it a
fine ten ton Fairbanks Boole, and what
is better a branch of pare water running

the bartohers and stook traders; con
venient to the different depots and hotels.
It steads on its own merits, seeks no

to hold tha prisoner, (which the Judge
sustained,) and moved for his discharge,
bat another affidavit was at onoe made by
Major McCalls covering the grounds of
objection, whereupon the investigation
proceeded.
The Brat witness called on the part of
the prosecution was A. B. Culberson,
Esq., Attorney st Law, of this oity, who
testified that he was Secretary of the
Board of Commissioners crested by the
Legislature to investigate claims against
State Road : that Mr. Millar himself

The witness here identified the various
bills comprising the items in Millar's ac

of those affairs, where the host i-flowed bis
ability to make not only bis young dootors feel
they regretted that the time had come when pro
fessor and student must part, bnt that they had to
r their social relations with a gentleman who
to them like brother as well as preceptor. The
relations between the profeseors and students lure
been of the most pleasant nature, and we are pleased
to know that it has been the endeavor of the Faculty
of the Atlanta Medical College to make these yonng
who are strangers in onr midst, feel that they
are among friends, and that they leave us with good
wishes and kind feeliugs for the College.
THE ETENINO
was spent in the most convivial and social manner-
good supply of wine having been provided, which
was patronized in a gentlemanly manner by the
Mends of Dr. Orme and the graduating class. Then
e music.
And inch music! Col. Lowe electrified those pres
ent with some of the very beat old-time, sool-atir-
ring, foot-moving music—such music as we used to
listen to in the good old days when tho country was
free—when the people were happy, and one good
people occasionally indu'ged in a quilting or <
shucking. Tbcu came

the old, honest banjo—an instrument that is dear
to tho boys raised on the "old plantation”—which
he handled in a manner that reminded na of "old
tiinea." Everybody felt happy when he touched the
strings and brought out musio that we heard when
honest people ruled the oountry, and when a man
never got too poor to appreciate genuine harmony.
The evening was a perfect ovation of ploasure.—
Everybody appreciated tho occasion, and went homo
full of praise of the generosity of Dr. Ormo to the
students.
A Jolly Fellow.
Yesterday a one-legged man applied to
several gentlemen hero tor assistance to
get on to Texas. We learn that one gen
tleman-high in municipal authority at
this time—procured the poor crippled
Confederate free transportation as far aa
West Point, and besides, gave him a
quarter of a dollar. Another gentleman
present, who knows something about roll
ing mills gave him another quarter, and
some one else ten cents. The poor Tex
an wont to a hotel to wait for the morn
ing train. Becoming a Little dry, he in
vested about forty-five cents of his ready
cash in benzine, which had a glorious
effect, and whon tho polios get there he
was making it lively for the gneeta by
threnting to kill the entire party.

Tho results of tho mining lost week

The following note from Mr. Parkins,
tho well-known arohiteot, only confirms
the opinions we expressed yesterday
morning in relation to the condition of
the First Methodist Church. A great
many rumors have had circulation in re
gard to this new building, bnt we think
the following will satisfy the most skep
tical:
EditobsScn:—It being reported that
the main tower walla of the First M. E.
Church had "settled" and given away in
oonseqnence ot the severe storm of Sat-
urday night, I take this occasion to say
that I have made a thorough examina
tion, in presence of the Building Com
mittee, and find that there is not the
slightest danger involving the security
or safety of the walla—that the breaking
off of the outer course or casing at the
base of the buttresses on the main tower,
doe* not in tho least effect the center or
main wall, whioji are safo and sound.
The main tower is constructed in lucli a
manner that it would be hard to oonceive
how it oould fall; the walls at the base
being three feet and eight inobee thiek,
and resting upon a solid rock. Had the
foundation "settled,” it is apparent that
vertioal cracks woald have exhibited
themselves at the angles of tho corner
buttrossea. In my opinion, the walls
will stand until taken down by hands.

which time it descended in floods' and
continued that way until after daylight
yesterday morning. Tho streets have
never been washed as clean, and its effects
