An inquest was held Iho next day, and
an investigation begun before thoMaj’or’s
Court. But evening advanced, tho bom
bardment became heavier, several officers
of distinction appeared to bo involved,
and before quiet was restored the city wus
evacuated, and with it the tragedy, such
as it was, passed into whisper and mere
gossip.
Many of the parties to that bal masque
have since paid the last dobt of nature.
One—a very beautiful young girl—was
frightfully crushed upon a railway near
Griffin. Another died at Macon. Two
were killed at Griffin. Tho victim, Mrs.
Collins, was a person of good family con
nections, of considerable property, and of
much private worth us a hospital ward or
nurse.

a MASKED ball in a besieged city
a -urim death in a BALL llOOM-A
LADV GUEST MURDEUED-WHO COM
MITTED THE FOUL DEED-A MYSTE
RIOUS AND UNKNOWN STRANGER.
From the Nashville Republican Banner, Oct. 15.
Tho “Mysteries of tho War" would not
bo an inappropriate titlo to a volume
containing tho secrets which lio beneath
the door sill of tho last four bloody and
adventurous years. Theso secrets, like
those of tho “vasty deep,” which wo are
told will be revealed when tho “sons roll
away and tho caves of ocean open up to
men,” are even now and then “rising
faintly on tho sight” as tho lido sweeps
back and loaves the bod of tho conflict
exposed to tho gray amj dawning light of
tho now era. Wo find in the columns of
LaSiecle, a scholarly periodical published
by tho students and bohemians of the Kuo
Latin, a lotter from Atlanta, “tho Spectre
City,” as thnt journal dubs it, giving
many curious incidents of rebel life, of
which there is one, peculiarly sensational,
that contains a grain of truth amid much
error and misstatement. Wo translate
from La Siocle, of “Soptembro trois,” tho
following startling passage:
“During the siege a murder was com
mitted. It was done at midnight. Tho
victim was a beeutiful woman. It is sus
pected that the perpetrator was the.illus
trious Confederate cavalry Gonoral Whar
ton. It wus done at a masked ball, held
in a hospital, and under a severe fire from
the Fedoral batteries in front of tho street
called Peachtree. Tho noxt day it ran
like a little gleam of electricity through
the camp—but it was hushed, and in a few
days after, the city foil.”
The above paragraph, reprinted in the
Courier des Etats Unis, will certainly find
its way into the English papers. It does
fearful injustice to a gallant soldier who
sleeps tho sleep tbut knows no Waking.
Gon. John A. Wharton, tho officer re
ferred to, was not in Atlanta during tho
siege, nor on this side of the Mississippi
rivor. In March, previous to tho com
mencement of tho campaign, ho received
a hurt near Home, was sent bolow,*\nd
while in a state of convalescence wus or
dered to Texas, lie sot out before tho 1st
of April, and was never afterward in the
department of Georgia. The investment
of Atlanta began four months Inter—on
tho 19th of July. At tbut tiino Genoral
Wharton was at Shreveport, La. lio was
subsequently killed, it will bo remember
ed, in a personal rencontre with Colonel
Georgo Baylor, lie was a man of fine
ftddroes, of dashing manners, of cultivated
taste, aud of excellent mind. So much
lor his connection with tho “murder”
which the studonts of tho Kuo Latin have
touched up so dramatically, and which
might bo woven into a vaudeville by
Dumas, fils, Souvestro, or Octave Peuillet.
The fountain for this romance is, as far
i3 wo remember, tho following circum
stances, which crept into tho gossip of the
moment, and have boon vaguoly alluded
to by newspapers since tho close of the
war:
Tho siege was at its meridian. The
battles of tho 18tb, 22d and 28th of July
were fought. Thoso who remained in tho
city had grown somewhat used to tho
firing. Tho bombardment, gonoral in fact,
illuminating tho night with the brilliant
explosion of rockets, tho glaro of signal
lights, and tho blaze of conflagrations,
and dinning tho day with a constant roar,
was still humdrum. Peoplo may become
usod to anything, oven powdor and ball.
Tho weuthor wus temperate, and, oxcept
along tho lines in front, tho place was
insupportably dull. A party of officers—
ten or a dozen in all—most of whom were
high in command, sent out to an equul
number of Indies (wo suspect they were
not so exclusive as tho character of the
principals ought to have required) invita
tions to a dunce—perhaps it was eti masque
-~at one of the hospitals in tho Peachtree
quarter of the town.
Mrs. Sarah Collins, a delicate and rather
pretty, though by no means a beautiful
woman, was sojourning in the family of a
worthy Irishman, Ilaggurty by name, and
waiting to return to her homo in West
Tennessee when tho city should fail. She
Was one of tho invited guests, butdeclinod

of tbo siege, und promising to wait up for

General, now in his grave, called to add
bis entreaties, and finally she consented
and wont with him. Sho did not get back

From tho Savannah Republican.
A Foreign War the Cement of tUe
Union*
Two brief paragraphs appear in our
foreign intelligence this morning, each of
which is full ul national importance, and
is doubtless tho precursor of important
action at Washington. Tho first an
nounces that Great Britain refuses redress
for the outrage^ her cruisers have inflicted
on our commerce, and refuses also to sub
mit to arbitration tho questions that are at
i-suo between her and the United States.
Tho second indicates that tho infringe
ment of tho Monroo doctrine committed
by Franco in Mexico is complete, and that
tho Mexican Republic exists no longer as
an organized power. . s
But for the supposed dissension and di
vision of the United States, it is clear that
these aro announcements which wo should
nover have been culled to rocord. What
strengthens Great Britain in her insulting
courso is the belief of her Government
that, although tho American civil war is
at an end, it has not left tho American
peoplo a united people. Without this bo-
fief sho never would have ventured to
crown her long career of enmity to the
United States by tho bully’s refiisal to
submit to impartial arbitration questions
upon whicli sho believes that her injured
antagonist is too weak, by intornal divis
ions, to risk the wagor of battle. Nor
without this belief would the Government
of Francis ogainst tho sentiments of tho
groat majority of the capitalists of France,
over have sustained to this point tho em
pire she planted on our southern border.
It is for us—the peoplo of the Southern
States of tho American Union—now to
undo this belief of foreign powers. By
unanimous loyalty, in thought as well as
act; by service of tho heart as well as of
the lip to our common country; it is for
us to inspire tho President and Congress
of tho United States to maintain our na
tional honor against tin so foreign powers
in a manner wortiiy of our common his
tory. Tho world knows that in our civil
strife wo have a military and naval power
which Groat Britain and Franco, singly or
as allies, dare not provoke to wur, if only
it is clear that in war against thorn that
power would bo wielded by a unanimous
peoplo. Lot us, then, make it clear, in
our daily private talk, in our legislative
actions, in tho declarations of our pross
and public assemblages, that whatever
aro our ditforonces among oursolves-dif-
feroncos fast disappearing—as against oth
er nations wo aro of one mind. If foreign
war shall bo inevitablo, let Grout Britain
understand that Goorgia is as loyal as
Massachusetts; that South Carolina is as
true as Maine; that Alabama and Missis*
sippi and Louisiana will support their na
tional government with no loss ardor than
will their sister States of the North and
tho West; that in such a war on land sho
will confront, united, tho armies that wero
onomios at Shiloh uiul at Gettysburg, and
hat on tho sea tho once hostile tars of tho
Monitor and the Merrimac will renew, un
der one common flag, their common glo
rios of tbo war of 1812.
But that Groat Britain and Franco may
understand this, mere words will not be
sufficient. The agents whom those pow
ors maintain hero aro too experienced not
to look bonoath merely verbal professions
During our civil war this country has
been made the thoatre of their ablest di
plomatic talont, and tho real unanimity
or discard of our peoplo will not oscapo
its discernment. Let, then, the ominous
presage of trouble with thoso powers,
with which this morning’s nows is prog-
nant, quicken Iho loyalty of any heart in
which, through tho rankling of past griefs,
it may bo sluggish. Slavery, wo all know,
was the groat causo of our civil war, Tho
questions arising from its abolition, wo all
know, aro our solo questions of division.
Remove thoso questions, then; guarantoe
by law the civil rights of tho freedmen,
as thoso rights aro guurantocd to us who
have boon always froo; and let tho freod-
tnen find their own level in aM the walks
of life, like all other men, according to
tho native capacity of each. Disposo at
once, by such comprehensive guarantees,
and by abolishing all caste or class legis
lation, of all these questions that now on
cumber us; and then, no longer at discord
among ourselves, lot North and South, if
foreign whr shall cotne, cement tho Ameri
can Union by their common bloodshed in
battling against a common foe.
TUe Cholera in France*
Alarm of the People—Scenes at Toulon
and Marseilles.
A Paris correspondent of tho London
Star, September 21, writes :
Tidings of tho most painful character
roach us from Marseilles. On tho 18th,
tho number of deaths registered was
eighty-seven, of which fifty-two were
cholora patients. In tho civil hospital
eleven died; in tho city and suburds
twenty-four—bosidos seven children. On
tho 19th, bv two o’clock in tho afternoon,
fifty-four deaths wore recorded, of which
thirty-fivo woio caused by that epidemic.
The town is in a state of panic, which
extends its pernicious influences to all tho
neighboring cities and villages—Cassis,
Cabries, Clotal, Martiques, Arles. Toulon
and Segno have all been visited by this
frightful scourgo, In the latter place,
which is scarcely more than a suburb of
Toulon,and contains a population of from
12,000 to 15,000 persons, tne panic rose to
such a hight in consequence of tho death
of twenty persons in ono day, that the in
habitants literally took to flight, and on
tho morning following these deaths but
four thousand persons remained.
That misfortune never comes alone has
been sadly illustrated in this instance—
famine actually threatening to decimate
the few who remained. The 8500 work-
Harper’s Weekly*
Tho Nashvillo Gazette (says tho At*
lanta Intclligoncor) gives its opinion of
this periodical, and wo aro not so sure bat
that there is some truth in its statements’
In times beforo tho war, under Demoi
cratic administrations, certain publica
lions wore excluded, from Iho Southern
mails as incendiary. 'Wc always opposed
such exclusion as unjust aud impolitic,
contending4hat tho rightful remedy was
in the hands of tho individual citizens ol
the South, who could refuse to receive or
to read tho pestilent stuff.
Our opinions in this respect have un
dorgono no change, and our present ob
ject is to cull upon tho pooplo of Tonnes*
see to set their soul of condemnation upon
Harper’s Weekly. Beforo Iho wat it was
perhaps no worse, as it was certainly no
better, than tho many other namby-pam
by, twaddling periodicals with which tho
Northorn press has been teeming for tho
last twenty years. Sinco tho commence
ment of tho civil war, tho mercenary pub
lishers have “put money in their pock-
ots ” by making it tho vehicle of tho vilest
radical slanders of tho Southern peoplo,
and tho advocate, to tho prSsont moment,
of all extreme, oppressive, and extermi
nating moasures against them. It muy
exhibit less ability, but is not a stop bo-
bind the Oiocinnaii Gazette, in the con-
Sho did not got back | coction and promulgation of malignant
lies. 1
With this character blazoned upon its
ovory number, wo can but bo- astonished
to find it still piled upon tho book-stalls
of tho city, and of courso bought and cir
culated among tho pooplo. It would seem
that many persons, with a taste for very
inferior “light literature,” continue, from
mere habit, to purchase und read the
damnable forrago of all that is vilest in
tho most corrupt society in America, with
out once adverting to iho character it has
put on in tho last few years.
We propose that the stock on han-1 in
this city shall bo left for tho exclusive
consumption of tho Tennessee admirers
and allies of Charles Sumner and Frod.
Douglas; and that henceforth honest and
patriotic men and women of this section
will reject Harper’s Weekly with all tho
loathing that would impol thorn to shun
contact with the camp itch.
men of the forging establishments, as well
as of the building yards, wero without
bread one ovoning, and were only rescued
from starvation by the prompt measures
of Government. A train was dispatched
from Marseilles, laden with provisions, in
charge of M. Doour.a.ono of the principal
merchants of that city. The conduct of
this gentleman appears to have been ad
mirable. He remained at Segne, and
finding no hands willing to assist him in
tho task of cleansing and purifying the
infected parts of the town, set about doing
this unpleasant task himself, and for two
days and two nights worked incessantly,
until ho was refeasod by M. Guignor de
Pranging, Diroctor of tho Compagnio dos
Forges ot Chantiors.
Tho panic was so frightful that whon
M. Deouna arrived at tho Segne terminus
with the store of provisions from Mar
seilles, notwithstanding tho prosenco of a
strong body of railway porters, hundreds
mado a rush at tho carriages, in ouch of
which an avorage of eighteen persons
managed to stow therasolves, ami thus tho
overcrowded train returnod to Marseilles.
At Toulon tho state of tho town is more
deplorable. At six last night eighty-four
deaths wero registered, of which seventy-
six wero cholera patients. Tho Monlpol
iier College of Physicians sent down al-
studouts by an early train. These
young men instantly undertook tho am
bulance service, and worked tho whole
day conveying tho sick on tho stretchers
to tho various hospitals, and devoted
themselves to Iboir attendance with a zeul
and courage which is boyond praise, and
tho moro to be appreciated, as half tho
population had fled and Iho municipal
authorities wore utterly insufficient in
numbers to give eflectual aid.
At eight o'clock at night many among
theso youths had not even thought of
seeking lodging, and had taken no food
since their arrival. Tho evening and
night passed with fewer additional cases
than had boon anticipated, and by this
morning all possible arrangements have
been made to face the awful circumstances
of tho time.
Thoso who had not quitted Toulon
showed admirable prosenco of mind. By
nino o’clock in tno evening tiros were
blazing ut tho corners of streets in all
close lunes; guns and potards woro like
wise fired in every direction to destroy the
pestilential miasmas which woro sproad
ing contagion far and wido.
At twolvo o'clock yesterday sufficient
coffins wero not to be had to bury tho
dead ; grave-diggers wero also warnings.
Gangs of condemned prisoners wore soon
to issuo from the Hague, and to march to
ward the cemotory,where thoy dug a deep
and wido trench, in which to deposit, at
midnight, tho corpsos of those who had
expired in tho hospitals. The procession
of the dead lasted loan early hour this
morning.
It is needless to say tho shops are all
closed and all business suspended. The
mayor and city authorities are assiduous
in their visits to tho hospitals, and have
given tho physicians of tho town cartt
blanche to order whatever thoy see fit,
utterly ’regardless of cost, for their pa
tients. The Vicountess de Chabannos,
and her husband, tho Prefect Maritime,
accompanied by Major Gen. Legras und
his wholo staff, visited the cholora wards
of tho naval hospital, which courageous
act has had the seat effect on the moral
tone of tho panic-stricken population.
The system of fumigation by fire was
adopted at Marseilles on an extensive
scale on Thursday night. By ten o’clock
not less than ono thousand bonfires woro
blazing,and were kept burning the wholo
night, by which moans a double objoct
was attained, as not only the dispersion of
miasmatic odors was accomplished, but
also tho destruction of an immense lot of
old furnituro and soilod articles, tho ro
moval of which bus contributed to purify
tho rooms from which they were taken.
The scone in the Quartier St. Joan and
in that of tbo Cannes is described as hav
ing been most curious. Groups,composed
of every class, wore all night to bo seen
actively engagod in feeding tho flames by
carrying a most heterogeneous supply of
urticles as fuel to each tiro. Of sixty-three
deaths which took placo yesterday within
the city of Marseilles, thirty-eight wore
from cholera.
Tho diroctor of tho theater, M. Walan
gier, called a meeting of corps of artistes,
and laid beforo them the pernicious influ
ence it would havo on tho moral tono of
the public if the theater were closed. His
energetic address was received with
marked approbation, and tbo troupe, with
the exception of throe actors, promised to
continue their performances as heretofore.
Tho Comptroller General’** Report on
the Public Debt*
Many persons are under tho impression
that in his lato annual toport on the State
debt, published by us last week, the Comp
troller Gonoral took tho ground that tho
State should pay the whole of the debt as
it stands upon its face. Those who have
thus been impressed havo not read tho ro-
port carefully, else thoy would havo come
a different conclusion. In two places
tho report tho Comptroller intimates
that it might bo considered honorublo to
settle differently. In alluding to tho cur
rency Treasury notes, redeemable in Con
federate Treasury notes and public dues,
issued to anticipate a tax levied upon Con
federate valuations, tho Comptroller sug*
gests that “tho Legislature might deem it
equitable to pay them upon tho basis of
what one dollar in specie would have pur
chased in corn, meal and othor provisions
at the datooftcoir issue,” or iL.niiglit
•deem it equitable to redeem them at only
what they would have brought in gold at
tho dato of their issuo,” and he offered an
estimate of what it would take, in oithor
case, to pay off these notes and tho change
bills. And at the close of his roport upon
tho public dobt he U9e3 tho following lan
guage, viz:
“And finally, should Georgia’s good
name and credit and fame go down, and
sho should bo hold as a ‘Repudialoi’—
should the good old Btalo that gavo mo
birth be charged with tho violation of her
most solemn promises and pledges in mat
ters of dollars and conts—should sho be
charged with having deliberately bor
rowed money of her citizons, of her wid
ows and orphans, and of others, by issu
ing bonds and treasury notes with solemn
promises to pay tho same, and then, with
out any default on the part of those who
gave her their money and credit, delibe
rately refused to pay tho same, or any part
thoreof; and that she did this, too, be
cause there was no power to compel her
to do justico—should tho good old State
that wo havo all over been so proud of be
charged with thu6 treuting her own citi
zens (including helpless women and chil
dren), or any ono elso who trusted alono
to her honor, and in consequenco of tho
same she shall never havo tho credit und
high character sho once possessed—I de
sire to ‘put it on rocord’ that I hud ‘no
part or lot’ in thus placing her, but that.
as an officer of tho State and a true and
loyal citizen, I contended from tho be
ginning to the end for tho integrity and
lonor of Georgia.”
This shows, that whilo tho Comptroller
Gonoral is unequivocally und uncondi
tionally opposou to repudiation—looking
upon it as a stain that would ovor stick to
and sink tho crodit and character of tho
Stato—nevertheless, ho thinks that should
tho Legislature deem it fair and honora
ble to redeem tho treasury notos of tho
Stato according to tho specie value of tho
same at tho date of their issuo, thoro would
bo no dishonor in thus redeeming thorn.

A new projected palatial hotol in New
York is thus spoken of by a correspondent
of tho Cincinnati Gazette:
Tho RruMt Central Park Hotel to be
erected by Hiram Cranston, of New York
at the corner of Fifth avenuo and Fifty
ninth street will no doubt eclipse any thing
of the kind in this or anv other country.
The Kround W |H t, 0 broken next spring,
and it is supposed that two or three years
will be required for its completion. A
number of capitalists aro interested in it,
and whatever taste cun devise and money
can purchase will be lavished upon tho
new house. It is to be half as largo again
and ihrico ns elegant as tho Fifth Avenue;
is to bo built of wuito marble, und to con
tain ovor fivo hundred rooms, all of which
aro to bo furnished in a stylo of magnifi
cence hitherto unknown even in this ex
travagant country.
A number ol modern improvements aro
to bo introduced, among them private
breakfast and dining rooms, suits of apart

The Adams-lluBHell Correspondence
Wo publish to-day interesting fragments
of the diplomatic correspondence between
Mr. Adams and Earl Russell in regard to
tho claim of tho Government for indem
nity for losses to our merchant marine oc
casionod by Confederate cruisers. The
correspondence appears in full in English
papers of the 12th inst. It exhibits con
siderable spirit und pungency and much
tonacity of purpose on both sides. Be
neath tbo smooth conventionality and
courtoous phraseology of diplomatic oti-
quetto, thero is a poaceptible undercurrent
of fooling that sometimes suggests tho
presence of rankling bitterness and bos*
tility. Tho cor respondenco dates from tho
7th of July, and continues, ono rejoinder
following another, up to tho 17th Septem
ber, whon Mr. Adams closes by referring
to his Government a proposal for tho ap
pointment of a commission to determine
upon the claims. Earl Russell had pre
viously rejoctod, with something savoring
of indignation, a proposition to submit to
arbitration. The noble lord insisted that
“Her Muiesty’s Government are the
guardians of their own honor. Thoy can
not admit that they may have acted with
bad faith in maintaining tho neutrality
thoy professed. Tho law officers of the
Crown must be hold to bo bettor interpre
ters of a British statute than any foreign
Government can bo presumed to ho. Her
Majesty’s Government must, therefore,
doclino oither to make reparation or com
pensation lor tho captures mado by tho
Alabama, or to refer tho question to any
foreign State.”
Mr. Adams, in roply to this very firm
and somewhat haughty declaration, takes
occasion to administor a sharp reproof to
tho British Government and peoplo for
having failed to eympathizo with tho Fed
eral cause, and closes by praying Karl
Russell
“Not to bo surprised if I am compelled
not to disguiso tho belief that with my
Government, as among my countrymen
ut largo, there is still loft a strong souse of
injured fooling, which only time and the
hopos of a bettor understanding in future,
held out by tho conciliatory strain in your
lordship’s note, aro likely to correct.”
As tho correspondence terminates with
this not vory cheering announcement of
bad fooling botweon tho two nations, and
as tho “hopes of a bettor understanding”
scom to depond upon tho improbnblo con
tingency of a retrogression, on tho purt of
tho British Government, from the position
it has so stiffiy hold in tho matter of those
claims, it is possible that tho tangle may
become so intricate as to requiro to bo un
raveled by tho Alexandrian process. Mr.
Seward has already demonstrated his
ability to tako very positive ground upon
international questions, but his ability to
abandon such ground has been proven
ovon moro distinctly. Wo hone that in
this case tho national honor will bo vindi
cated; but it is impossible to contemplate
u collision with Great Britain without
great anxiety. In tho present condition
of tho Republic, some little concession,
not involving a sacrifice of honor, would
bo preferable to the ruinous consequences
of a foreign war,—N. Y. News.
ANKQffo Killed iiy Soldiers.—We
learn tbut a negro man named John was
fired upon by several soldiers and instant
ly killed, on one of tbo plantations of Mr.
James U. Judkins, near Mt. Meigs, on
Saturday night last. It is stated that tho
soldiers designed to kill a colored man
named Theiss, formerly bolonging to tho
same gentleman, for ailoged impudonco to
them ; but tho deceased, boing in tho same
house with him, went to tho door and
openod it whon tho party approached tbo
premises; and they, supposing him to bo
the objoct of their vengeance, immediately
fired, with tho above mentioned sad result.
