IMPORTANT W. |l. »•* % * E-Wrg. laaaa, Cnftnar if the of U.orgla. 'An important law oase and one in which a great many people in this State are interested, has lately reached a final deoiiion before the Court-of Appeals in New York. The eaae was that of W. M. and R J. Lowry, vs. Wm. H. Inman. It was an action in which a stockholder of the Northwestern Bank of Georgia waa sued In the Superior Court of New York city, on a section of the act in corporating the bank, which proved that without iray action against the stock holder, Ids privuto property should bo bound by a judgment against the Bank, and that the Sheriff should levy an ex ecution against the Bank upon that pri vate property, in satisfaction of judg ment against tlio Bank. Thecasowas heard before Judge Mc- Cunn, on the 2d of June, 1860, and de cided-in favor of the defendant. The Judge held that the legal construction of the section of the act of incorporation in controversy was that it does not impose on the defendant a liability which may be made the ground of an action is per sonam against him; but that it charged and binds his property so as to subject it to exeoution in satisfaction of a judg ment against the Bank. The only effect of the statute is to bind the property of the individual corporator, and bind it su/> modo only, by subjecting it to levy on an execution against the bank. He held that it waa beyond the competency of the Court to expand so narrow and restricted a liability into an absolute personal re sponsibility for the debts of the liank, which 'may bo enforced a*v and every where by an action in jtersonam against the defendant. If it had been the design ot the Legis lature to charge the person as well aa the property of the stockholder, they would have ao provided; whereas, on the contrary, his liability is carefully re- stricteiLte the haiard of an execution against his property, and the right of re dress by personal action against him is negatived. It is evident that no action against the defendant oould be founded on this statute in the mart* of Georgia, and a fortiori he could not be pursued person ally In the courts of New York. The Judge held further that, contem plating the seotion under review, in all its parts and provisions, it was nothing more than a mode of execution prescribed by the Legislature of Georgia. Assum ing a judgment already rendered, in favor of a creditor, against an individual cor- paidun Wtfca hank, » paooeads to derig- uato in what manner and by what moons that judgment shall Im satisfied. In a word, the statute provided a remedy only aad jinpirii upon its own ministerial officer the duty of enforcing the remedy. An appeal was taken from this decis ion of Judge MeCuno, the ease was curried before the Court of Appeal* of New York City, where it was heard on the 5th of tire present month, and the judgment of the lower Court affirmed. ble with clearness and precision.

We venture the declaration that the section upon Prosody is the clearest, briefest and eosiuat pre sentation of that little understood and difficult subject yet made. The Greek Grammar numbers only 104 pages—the Latin less than 100 pages—and yet an intelligently and carefully has the system of condensation been applied, that no important point in either language haa been omitted. The experienced teacher of the Clasaiua, who has from time immemorial been subjected to the trou ble, the irksome drudgery of “marking out" paragraphs, and sometimes wholo pages, for omission—to be “skipped" by the pupil—will find here all such work done for him. In oar own State and South Carolina, the name ot the distinguished Professor has been identified with the great work ot Liberal Education from the beginning of the preaent century. The Waddells maintain the first rank as American teachers. These Grammars are the offering of the youngest of these men upon the altar whereat his ances tors, so long and so acceptably, officiated and worshipped. [For tha Atlanta Sun.] KA1LKOAD ACCIDENTS. Tbe Responsibilities of Engi neers. . Rome, Go., Sept 9, 1871. Editors Sun—I have long been pained with the frequency of newspaper para graphs attributing to engineers the re sponsibility for the many railroad disas ters that are occurring in various parts of the country. Nine times out of ten the blame is laid npon tbo engincer, and, if reports are to lie believed, they are the moat careless and reckless set of men that ever held responsible positions. At the same time the conductor is held up as a model of attention and devotion to the safety of his passengers, or for some act of bravery or kindness. I make no quarrel with conductors, for tlieire is a responsible position; bat m; aim is to Bay a word in favor of the much abused engineer. I have served in both capacities and allow me to say that the greater resiion- sibility of the two rests upon tbe engi neer. Does tbo sleepy passenger ever think as he dashes through hills and over valleys, across bridges, and around curves, that his safety ia in the keeping of tbo sturdy man who stands "at tbe front” with Lis hand at the throttle, watching for “dangers ahead,” and ready, at any time, to peril his own life, but nut the lives of those in his care. The conductor may gossip wi*li the passengers, or drouze away a sleepy mo ment, or in other ways wile away tbe te dium of a long run; but tbe engineer must bo all the time on tbe alert, all the time wide-awake, all tbo time with his eye strained in the distance to see that the track is all clear.

He must stand at his post, ' them, braving dangers in order to avoid them, with bis band in reach of tbe throttle, bis eye upon tbe track before him and his mind upon the precious burden of human freight that is consigned to bis care. Seeing, then, that so great a responsi bility rests upon "tbe man at tbe helm,” it may not be unreasonable that blame for accidents should light upon him first; but would it not bo more humanly and more ehriatianly to prove bis remissness before so crushing and killing a charge ia laid at his door.

Pritohsid, Eeq., loaded with oak wood was sunk when off Venus' Point, daring the heavy storm which prevailed »l the time, Two of the hands ou the flat, John Taylor, oolorod, sad tbe other a white man, name unknown, were Boston, August 31.—Tho inquest on the Eastern Railroad disaster continued to-day. Ashbcll Brown, engineer of the Pullman train, was sworn: To the best’of my knowledge it was twenty-five minutes past eight o'clock when the collision oc curred. I started at five minutes past eight from Boston. After I was ready to start the conductor gave motion to go. Lust, the depot master, then carnc along side the engine in a hurry and says to me, Look out for the baugusbranch train.” I said, "All right” I then started, and the first stop I made was at Prison Point. Started and then stopped at Boston and Maine Cross ing. Started from there and ran to Mys tic ltiver bridge, lha first place I saw a light as a -signal of danger. The first light I saw was moving from a train going in the opposite direction. I whistled for tho brakes to lie applied and we came nearly to a stop. Knowing that I had my train under foil control, I whistled off brakes, ran a little ways and saw a second light swinging in the mid dle of tho track. Soon after I saw the rod light on tho polo nt Sangns Brunch was lmuled down nDd the train that was ahead of mo crossed the Saugus Branch. After the switches were set the light was ran up and as ours was up. and another going up this gave me tho right of tho rood. I had no reason to suppose there was another train within six miles of me.— Ran along, and the first signal of danger I saw was after leaving the Overhead bridge. I then discovered two lights looking me in the face. (The witness was effected to tenrs, and could hardly go on.) I immediately reversed my en gine and whistled for the breaks. Hav ing done nil iu my power to stop my train, I made preparations to leave my engine, thinking she would run into the rear end of that train. When I got within four or five rods, I jumped off, was thrown ou my face and scratched a little. 1 got up as quickly as I could My first thought was whether my fireman got off or not. I went up to my engine; she was blowing off steum i^> dNMRML,< . _ to learn that nor frieud, Mr. | teining tho Beveriy train my engine; she was blowing on stean I could not see my cab. Soon sb the gine got rid of its steam, I looked into the cab aud called the fireman by name. I got no reply. Went round to tho other side of the train, near where I jumped off, to sec if I could not find him. Think when coming back I met him. Asked if ha was hart He said no. Then went to the train to give all the assistance I could. I assisted several persons out of the wrecked cars. Staid out about two and a half hours. Heard that the train was going to Boston, and having done all that I could went home. Knew nothing of any train after leaving Everett that did not have twenty min- ntee start of me. Did no* expect tho train ahead. Was running not over 20 miles an hour when I passed tho Over head bridge. The rate of speed when I jumped was 10 miles per hour. The color of the lights was white. Saw no red lights. Saw no lanterns swung. Be ing so near on to that train and knowing that train was there my attention was turned to something else—that is, to stop my traiu as soon os I could. OBOSH EXAMINATION. I knew that tho Beverly train was hall an hoar behind time; had no difllcolty in seeing a light that night. Did not try to mako np for lost time. Always run carefully. Was positive it was the Mangas Branch train that I was to look out for. Can positively swear that there was no train in sight on a straight track that night. Knowing that the Beverly train had twenty minutes tbe start ot ns, and thinking lliat they were leaving Revere ahead, when I was starting, Iliad no anxiety alsmt it. It waa my duty to look out lor a signal at Revere. Do not expect a light there without tliore is dan ger. There was no light though. Wm. E. Simmonds was sworn, and his testimony was corroborative of the en gineer's evidence. Adjourned. TUB DOSION UoLOOAAWT.
