Day before yesterday, at tho rock quarry at Broom head A Alexander, near tha Barracks, a frightful accident oc ourred. The quariy waa bciag worked by convict! 'trader the management of Matova. Btoeaahaad A Alexander, aad a white la* earned Alexander, aud a negro convict wore blasting. After fill ing the hple wjfh powder and igniting the faze, it failed to explode, wlmo they returned to readjust it' While working at it the powder eaoght fire, making a tremendous explosion. Both arms of young Alexander were broken, and both eyes, it is feared, put oat. The negro was badly burnt. Alexander haa only haw in the chain gang for a week or so. Hia father is or was Marshal of the city ol Opelika, Ala. Ha waa convicted at the last term of the District Court for th«tt Iron hi* boarding honac. “Brethren‘a there * man with *oul ao dead. Who never to himself hath aaid," Black la now tbe winning color T About one hour of the valuable time of the Court, police and tbis reporter, waa consumed iu Iffttuiog to an attempt on tho part of the pastor aud memben of a nigger congregation to prove that the nigger ball* given by Wm. Mc- Keever waa a nuiaance. Volumes of testimony were introduced on both sides, the most powerful and con clusive of which was a negro {for tho defence, who gave it solemn fact that more noise was created at tbe negro church than he ever heard at the ball. He hod seen four to six men bringing happy and noisy souls out of the church by tbe heels, and he never saw such a procedure at the ball. The proprietor of tho dance house might, with greater consistency, present the church folks for uunoyiug his customers. This was a stunning argument. But the gen- eral character of the witnesses for the defense was bad, and McKecvcr was or dered to stop his balls and pay coats of this prosecution. JACOB COLE was Jiot of ?he anthracite kind, nor was he cold-hourted. He run his hand-cart on the side-walk and plead ignorunce of the law. Hu was a poor man and a man of family, and he got the odd-shoulder from Lowry, who told him to git out.— And therewith justice sheathed her sword, took off her bandage, locked up her scales nnd adjourned the court. Cut o’* Letter. Don't fail to read the very able letter of “Cato,” in our paper of this morning. It lays bare tho unprincipled condpct and aims of the New Departures. He gives names find facts, and makes charges which moan something. The “Wild IlVMt” after Office. Wo know of no better rule by which to ascertain a man's total unfitness for the oflioes of Mayor or Councilman, than the fact of his attempting to push him self into these positions. They ought to be places of honor- conferred upon men for their real merits —their real integrity and ability, and to servo the public, honestly and fuithiully; and when we see a man blowing his own trumpet, canvassing tho streets, and tak ing an active part in Ward meetings sole ly for the purpose of foisting himself upon the publio, and getting into plaoe, we take it for granted that he either wants the offioo for the take of the salary, or that he has an “axe to grind” at pub lie expense, which will make a raid upon the Treasury—either of which renders him unfit for the office, and nn worthy of the support of an honest people, who workffor their, bread, auJ who ought not to be taxed to pay salaries to such men. All such should bo reproved for their egotism and assuinaay. Wc hope,that in tho nominations to be made, our very best citizens will bo chos en. Men who deserve thcne'pliiccs very seldom seek them. Those who do not seek or desire tho offices, but can, by earnest solicitation of tho i>oople, bo in duccd to accept them, will bo far more likely to prove themselves faithful and competent, than thoso who earnestly seek tho office. This latter class too often have unworthy motives to prompt them; and it may be set down as a rule to be relied upon at all times, that t)u>se engaged iu tho “wild hunt,” will do the pabl ic no good, mill should bo kept out Wo toll tlio people that nnloa* thojr toko tbe mnttor seriously to heart, it uill not be many your* liefmv our oity tlnnnees and government will 1>« in the onnie de plorable condition that Now York now i*.

Let it bo so no mere. reduction of freight and passenger transportation to the several lairs in Georgia. Mr. Ecbola was requested to act for all, using their names officially. Mr. Echols prepared a letter of application to the superintendents of different railroads and steamship companies, setting fortli the fact that a reduction of ratea would se cure a large attendance on the several fairs. All of the railroads in Georgia readily acceded to transport at half rotes, and Mr. Echols informs us that in t few days he will publish a list of a large number of railroads agreeing to the half- rate arrangement. He hopes to secure lialf-rato tickets from Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Buffalo, Chica go, Cincinnati. Louioville, St. Louis and New Orleans,and all intermediate points. Aaotb.r Lawyer. Captain John Milledge has been re tained by tbe State to assist Hon. B. H. Hill, CoL Farrow and Judge Underwood, in the investigation now being made in to the alleged State Road frauds. Capt. M. is an active young lawyer, of an in quiring turn of mind, and we guess he will go to the bottom of tho cases if there is any bottom to them. ■lory wltk u Moral. Local and Bnalneafl Notloo*.

This is a splendid chance for those who desire to perfect themselves in the polite art— Tho coming season promises to be unu sually gay, and all should be well posted in this line. * The |.HIllnr Trial. The trial of Millar, concerned in tho State Hoad muddle, which was postponed from last Friday till yesterday, after con sultation among tho counsel of both sides, it was agreed to postpone tlio cose indefinitely, and Judge Hopkins there fore granted a postponement until somo day next mouth, of which, notice will be given. _ Took m Fit. A somewhat noted character named Violet North, was up before Justice Lynes yesterday for some offense, and tho Judge Bent her to jail. Just as she got outside the court room she tumbled over with what appeared to bo a very hard fit. But it wouldn’t win, and five or six men were completely exhausted after they had put her on a dray for the lock up. The Market*. Trade yesterday was a little quiet, though in some articles the demand was brisk. Bacon, after remaining at low’ figures for so loug a time, bos taken a start up wards. One strange feature in this arti cle is that the Western markets quote shoulders to w’ithin & quarter of a cent of sides. This is something unusual, and the oulv plausible theory given for it is that such a demand has been made for cheap meats it has run shoulders up to the proscut figures. It cannot remain at this long. In this market, of course, it is not that way—the difference here being from } to 1 cent. Tlio demand is good. Flour is excited in tho Western market, an advance of 50 couta a barrel haviug taken place within a few days. This Company got its factory iuto suc cessful operation lost Monday and com menced the manufacture of varus for the market It has four thousand spindles in operation and is turning out a quality of yarns which very few factories can furnish. About a year ago Mr. R. M. Clarke commenced tho establishment of this factory. A good site, with an abund ance of water, was selected at Flat Shoals, tlio machinery bought, the necessary buildings erected and everything put in eonqH'teut ‘working order. It has quired arduous and persistent labor and a large amount of capital; but Mr. Clarke, and those associated with him, were equal to the emergency, and now they have reached that gratifying period of their progress, which denotes success. Wh wsro show n yesterday, hy Me. Wm. H. Clarke, a Sample of the yarns spun et this mill. Tho thread waa spun from cotton grown by Mr. Clarko last year, end at tho time it was grown he had no idea that it would ever bo manufactured into thread upon the very lot where it is produced. This company will manufacture noth ing but very fine threads, aud will find an exclusive market in Philadelphia. Mr. Jos. liippey, the Buperiatendent, isao experienced manufacturer, having been engaged successfully in the business for many years. Tkc Orphan’*. Home. We publish to-day an interesting letter from one of the children at the Orphans’ Home at Nororose. Everybody will read it with deep interest. Verily that great work—the establishment of a home for the orphan—is one of which Dr. Boring may feel proud, and all who have con tributed to it may well congratulate themselves on the good work in which they have assisted. Here the children are taught to work—are educated—have religious training—have a home with all its comforts and attractions—a real, gen uine home—where they do not feel like guests at a stranger’s house, but are really of home! How many of these would be forsaken outcasts, and become the devotees of sin, but bat for this beneficent institu tion. Let the country rejoice that so much good is being done with such small means. Those who have the enterprise iu band are now raising means to erect a monu- mantal clmrch at Norcross in which the children can worship. Let every man having a philanthropic heart assist iu this good work. Tkc Fair mt Dalton, The second annual fair of the North Georgia Agricultural and Mechanical As sociation, at Dalton, will commence next Tuesday and continue four days. Tho people are looking out for a large num her of visitors and exhibitors and have enlarged their accommodations with view to making all comfortable. The track has been put in first-rate condition, and exhibitors are encouraged by a largo list of liberal, regular and special pre miums. Tho fairs which the people of that city and vicinity get up are highly creditable and profitable to those who attend. They know how to do the work, and do the same with a hearty will, which does not stop short of complete success. Mr. L. D. Palmer, the efficient Secretary of the Association, is the right man in the right place, a systematic business man, whose energy, diligence and worth, are impress od upon all with whom he transacts any business. We shall try to be on hand this fair for, if the weather be good, will really be enjoyable. and I told them it wan none of their business what it Avas 1” This boy is not unlike hundreds of business men, who will probably call him a fool for not telling what he had to sell. They are actually doing the same thing on a much larger scale than did the boy, by not ad vertising in the papers. The way to make business brisk is to advertise. If you have anything to sell, let the publio know all about it, and then respectfully invite them to purchase. If you intro duce any new tiling, advertise it. And when you do advertise, don’t do it as though you were ashamed to let the pub lie know you ure engaged in business. Let your advertising be constant and un tiring. First one method then another, until vour name and business becomes a household word in every family for miles around. When you do this, success will have been accomplished. So savs a sen sible editor, all of which this local en dorses. Hunnway. A mule attached to a dray passed The Sun office yesterday in a harry.

Hinkle, hoi again placed us under obligation to bim, by sending us the premium list of th< “grand Fair at Oglethorpe Park,” Atlan ta, Georgia, commencing October lGtli 1871. The above is from tbe Gwinnett Atlas, and is partially an error. Mr. Hinkle, como time since, resigned his position the State Agricultural Society, and is now Assistant Superintendent for the Atlanta Agricultural and Industrial Association, which will hold a Fair at Oglethorpe Park, as above stated. A Srnsntlon. One of our city cotemporaries, yester day, hod a highly sensational article about a family affair which would, per haps, have been well enough to say noth ing about It seems to place a gentleman and his wife in no enviable light—and tho latter iu an equivocal position before the publio; and the reported attempt at suicide, we learn, is without fouudatiou The Sun reporter was fully posted on all tho particulars early the following morning, but questioned the propriety o giving an aocouut of it to the world —j good deal of which tho world has no right to know. The publio ap()etite is keen iu such matters, we know, but sometime wo think beet to leave matters where they arc - giving them no publicity. Augusta, Ga., 21st Sept, 1871 J.
