Although for the past year the Order has had to bear the infliction of several dead weights, still the good and true members, who gave their services for tho gwl of tho Ordor sod, not lor pug, have suc ceeded in swelling the membership and giving the Order a new life and vigor. Mr. James G. Thrower, Dr. E. J. Kirk- scey, Col. C. W. Hancock, Mr. E. H. Blakely and others, have been especially vigilant and active, and deserve the thanks of the State. In this city, recent ly, Mr. J. G. Thrower organized Georgia Lodge No. 132, of which Bov. E. W. Warren, Alderman Casein and others are members, and it is now in a most flour ishing condition.

Por some mouths past the trial of Itev. Myram D. Wood, pastor of tho Presby terian Church in Decatur, DeKalb county, charged with seducing Emma I. Chi vers, of the same village, has been waiting the September term of the Superior Court, and attracting attention. As tbis case is almost without prece dent, and, certainly, without parallel in this country, a short hiftory of the par ties would probably be interesting. REV. MYRAM D. WOOD, is a native of Yorkton, South Carolina, from whence his parents removed to Decatur, Ga. He hat been the pastor of churches in South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia, and lastly assumed the charge of tho Presbyterian church in Leant nr. He is well educated, refined and intelligent, has polite and agreeable munners and to ah appearance, is a man whose influence as a citizen aud pastor, has been much respected. His personal appearance is dignified and commanding. Physically he is well proportioned, beto kening a man, who, though devoted to mental pursuits, Los not neglected these duties which strengthen the physical He is rather handsome, has jet black hair, hazel eyes, (one of which is defective, or its sight wholly gone), and has an intellectual face. Altogether, he very forcibly reminds us of Parson An gelo in “A Terrible Temptation.” He is an eloquent divine, is very popular with his congregalion, and throughout tho county, and considered one of tho most promising men in this Presbytery. He is probably forty- two or threo years old, (with a much younger appearance;) is married and has three children, all daughters, the oldest <rf whom is nbont fourteen years of age. Ho has, during his residence in Decatur, also engaged in teaching school. ment struggled for supremacy. Some went away with their convictions shaken, while others condemned the girl as a slanderer, filled with a wicked a heart, who, fully conscious of her own irre- trievahV ruin, hoped by this avowal, to implicate in her guilt a good and holy man, and thereby palliate her own crime. At tbis juncture of affairs, and out of this very circumstance, arose A DIVISION AND DISCORD IN TIIE SOCIETY of the village, which seriously interrupt ed the usual intcrccuso of previous friends. Family was arrayed against family. Fuctious arose* which espoused the cause of one party and persecuted the other. Persons who had before with held suspicions and repressed prejudices and dislikes, now openly expressed them selves, and condemned one party or the other, arraigning them for misdemeanors and indiscretions, which, altliovgh sus pected, had never been established. This strife and feud, which still exists iu a degree, waxed warmer and w armer, until a warrant was issued for the arrest of Myram D. Wood, charging him with THE REDUCTION OP EMMA L CHI VERS. In the bill of indictment it was charged, tliat by false and fraudalent persuasions, and promises of marriage, Myram D. Wood bad induced Emma I. Chi vers yield to him, seduced her, and robbed her of her virtue. With Mrs. Chivers as prosecutrix, the connsel for State consisted of Solicitor General Howell, Col. C. Peeples, and Col Fry. The counsel for defense were Messrs. Hill & Candler, L. J. Winn, and Hon Geo. N. Lester. The trial was called on Monday last, Hon. John L. Hopkins, Judge of the Superior Court, presiding. The jurore summoned could not be qualified. So wide spread was the discussion that pre judices for or against either the prosecu tion or defense, were almost universal. Again and again were summonses issued and men brought in, bat not until Friday the 29th, could they find a sufficient num ber of men who could qualify. Finally they empanneled a competent jury. It consisted of tbo following gentlemen Robert A. AlstoD, Foreman; John W. Mc Curdy, Warren J. Clark, Christopher C. Johnson, Henry H. Burgess, James W. McLean, Thomas N. Pevton, Alexander C. Fowler, Edward II. Guess, James M. •Smith, W. J. Clark, A. M. Holcombe. Only two witnesses were introduced— Mis« Emma I. Chivers and her mother— MISS EMMA I.

Pn!l ovcr-coots, adapted for tho pres cut cool mornings and evenings, in dif ferent shades, at Eiseman k Bro., 5o Whitehall atiect. ‘it Is tho daughter of Dr. Thomas Holly Chivers, originally of Wilkes county, Georgia, who, in his time, had soma reputation oh un author, hav ing written poetry and other con tributions to literature. Dr. C., prio to the war, was wealthy, owning con •iderablo property in negroes and real estate. By many he was considered very erratic and unbalanced. Some said he was cruel and tyrannical in his family and it is alleged by some that for snch of fence he was once rather summarily seized, dragged from his house one night, and ridden on a rail About the ve&r 1857 he removed with his family to De catur, Ga, where, ulthough not a prac ticing 'physician, he sometimes, in emergency, prescribed for patients. His circumstances were such as to support him in leisure. IIo married in Mus.su- chuseits a highly refined and well edu cated lady, who, together with her natu ml Abilities and education, was consid ered extraordinarily intelligent, aud even sltretaf. Their daughter, Emma, was a pretty, sprightly, intelligent girl, well educated and universally respected, and generally esteemed above suspicion aud a virtu ous girl of unexceptionable morals. She was a consistent member of the Presby terian Church, of which Mr. Wood was pastor up to the timo of her fall. It transpired early iu February last, that Miss Chivers, who, if not before that time entirely above tho suspicions aud whisperings of a few, was of recog nized fair standing, nnd virtuous, by the community, gave birth to a child, on the 3rd day of tliat month. An event at once so unexpected in tho quiet town of Do catur, excited tho greatest surprise among all, aud much indignation among those who hud admitted tho girl as their co equal and associate at school and at home. Recovered from tlicir astonish ment, they began to make conjectures os to tho guilty partner in the infamouB dee that had brought disgrace and cala- ity upon a household, and shame upon commuuity unacquainted with such dark and diareuutablo events. Gossip, slander, and scandal, hereto fore languishing for prey, had at last found tui unmistakable victim, in which to launch their venomous shafts ; and xulting in her writliings, and encourag 'd by success, they began to discharge their poisonous darts promiscuously,until in the tumult, scarcely an iuaividua escaped. Fmnllv, the rancor of some subsided and while tho women of the place yet discarded and condemned the fallen girl, the nu u relented and began to pity, and manifested some anxiety to fiud the villian who had perpretated so infamous a deed. In the minds of a few persons acquainted with tho circumstances, situa tion^ aud intimacy, of tho family of Mrs. Chivers and Mr. Wood, conjectures gavo ay aud suspicion began to point its finger at Rev. Myram D. Wood, her protector, preceptor and pastor. It was not until those suspicions, in the miuds of some, bad settled into con viction, that three prominent citizens of Decatur—all leading members of Mr. Wood's Churoh—determined to visit Mrs. Chivers, see her daughter, and, if possi bio, ascertain ths truth of a matter that had, as they thought, been the source of most foul insinuations against the obsi^ actor of their beloved pastor, whom they hod called to shadow forth aud typify the goodness and purity of bis Lord and Master. The motives aud purposes of tho gen tlemen were highly commendable. They approached the unfortunate girl—not ith the intention of extorting from her confession that would lower her still farther in misery And shame, and, Dor- haps, implicate another in the crime; they desired not to persecute her or even xposc her to rjdicule or further scandal; »r even to disebver tho author of the m tut teed; but to relieve, as they believed, their upright pastor from outrageous as persions on hit character. Actuated by such motives os these, they framed their questions whioh, if answered, would in no way commit the g^irl to any unwilling confession, or convict any ouo else of participation in the crime. They simply asked; “IS MYRAM D. WOOD THE FATHER OF THAT CHILD ?'* Bv her answer, which they felt assured would be a denial, they hoped to vindi cate Mr. Wood, mid sustain him in that public esteem and confidence which he baa so long enjoyed, and which they con fidently believed he yet deceived. The girl, after some hesitancy, replied: “MIL WOOD IS TUB FATHER OF MY CHILD.” and a considerable number of bis brother ministers from abroad were present, who had come to ascertain the tenth, that they might take action in their respective off - ces accordingly. Tho prisoner, considering the odds against him, aud the fearful consequences of a verdict of guilty, preserved a tolera ble countenance, though at times ho winced and compressed his lips to repel dread dispair which threatened to seize him. Tho defense was opened by Hon. Mil ton A. Candler in bis usual bold, eloquent style, who fox au hour and a half held tho whole house enchained with his eloquent effort to vin dicate his client and pastor. CoL C. Peeples followed in l>ehalf of the State in a speech of great ability. Next to CoL Peeples, Solicitor General Howell, also in behalf of the State, made an effective speech, showing that he was thoroughly conversant with the law ahd the facts of the case. Hon. Geo! N. Lester closed tho defense in a most admirable effort. As a lair speech it had no superior during the trial. Judge Hopkins, in his charge to the jury, admonished them to consider well, impassionutely and impartially, the testi mony. He reiterated its main points, and gave the law clearly and distinctly, and tho jury retired to their room. After an absence of half on hour they returned, and Col. Ii. A. Alston, Foreman, read the verdict: “WE FIND THE PRISONER OCILUY. The Defense gave notice that as soon as the testimony could be copied, a mo tion would be made for arrest of judg ment aud a new new trial, and the pris oner gave lxmd of 85,000.00 for his ap- peui*a«.cc at Court.

The testimony, judging from the phonographer’s (Judge Spencer’s) report, will make probably hundred pages of manuscript! We will furnish only a synopsis, gleaned from Judge Spencer’s phonographic report, l>y his permission. Miss Chivers tastified that soon after Mr. Wood assumed charge of the Pres byterian Church (of which she was member) he, appreciating her circum stances, proposed to teach her. She ac cepted the proposition gratefully, and for years she bad been accustomed to re cite lessons to him at his house, or her mother’s, as it was convenient. Under him she had studied Latin, algebra, his tory, &c. After some time he had begun to compliment her on her zeal, applica tion and ambition to learn, aud had gone so far as to flatter her intelligence, her personal beauty, her manners, her gen tie disposition, her winning ways, and other attractions of person, such rounded form, attractive figure, and other charms, which she thought beyond the notieo or remark of a minister of tho gospel—(thus she testified). But sho had tho most unbounded confidence in him, and excused such approaches on the ground that ho was a preacher, and beyond suspicion. She had learned to reverence aud esteem him, and finally to love him. His influence over her, * she said, was unbounded. One night in the year 1867, after hear ing her recite, he had asked permission to accompany her home. After leaving; his house, while in the lane, he seizei. her hand nnd kissed her, and demanded other privileges which then seemed shock ing to her. Sho refused, feigned sick ness, and ran home. He next day came to see her and begged pardon for offend- iug her. She forgave and forgot, and they resumed their studies together. Soou after, another occasion presented itself, and he again attended her home, and again made approaches, this time attended with declarations of love, say ing that he loved her better than any woman (dive, that she and he were congenial; that his wife, whom he once imaginetl he loved, was nnhcalthy and would soon die, aud then he would marry her. With theso protestations of affection, he re peated uud pressed his entreaties. She remonstrated and said it was improper. He insisted that it was not wrong. He had MADE IT A 801DHCT OF PRAYER. H his love for her was wrong and crimi nal, he believed God would interfere and arrest it. With such persuasions and her preconceived affection for him, she had not the moral courage to resist; his influence and control over her were great. SHE FURTHER TESTIFIED: About this time, Mr. Wood, knowing our reduced circumstances, suggested that wo rout out oar home ana move over near his honso where, in an humble home, together with the income from house rent, aud his own assistance, we might live comfortably and in ease. Moreover, ho said, it would then bo more convenient for mv recitations. One night ns he was returning from Atlanta a foot, ataut 10 o’clock, he called by our house and suggested that I recite my lesson to him. My mother, who was in the room, fearing to distract our at tention, meanwhile retired to the next room. After tho lesson was finished, Mr. Wood complained of headache, and laid down on the bed; called me, asked me to come to him and By refi r nco to tho announcement of Col. L. P. Grant, Superintendent, and W. J. Houston, General Passenger Agent, it will be seen that this road offers su perior inducements for travel and freights west and south-west of Atlanta.
