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. l-a'-s "T *10 IIS *24 *10 *45 *50 *55 *>0 *V>.*70 1 ’! 31) 3U V> 48 54 mi «. 72 78 84 Ml ; «i-i(i i.-,o imiwm norm sin -'too .wo mo imij'gl 175.2UUmyir.i5U 275 HlAl 825 350 3761400 Far advertisements published less than one * k 51 00 per square for tho first insertion ftti'l 50cents per square for each subsequout ^Advertisements inserted at intervals to b flhuracd ns new each insertion.

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 fi»o invitation. The good peoplo with whom she dwelt, however, urged nor to go, •lleging that there was no danger, that she required relaxation from tho excitement of tbo siege, und promising to wait up for bor until sho roturned. A Confederate General, now in his grave, called to add bis entreaties, and finally she consented and wont with him. Sho did not get back bt 12 o’clock, and the family retired with out any uneasiness, leaving tho frontdoor *jar for her. About 4 o’clock in the 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.

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.
