When Sherman captured Atlanta, in 1804. and d< : rutined on his march to the sea, he divided the unfortunate people of that doomed city into two classes. One class he sent N irtJi, the other he drove South, in order that lie might burn their houses. The Mayor of Atlanta, with two members of the City Council, the only members then present, ad dressed the victorious leader of the United States Army then surrounding them, tlie fol lowing eloquent, simple and touching apt-al: Sir: The undersigned. Mayor and two members of Council of the city of Atlanta for the time being the only legal organ ol the said city toexpress their want and wishes, ask leave, most earnestly, but respectfully, to petition you to reconsider the order requiring tnem to leave Atlanta. At lirac view, it struck us that the measure would involve extraordin ary hardship and loss, but since we have seen the practical ex ecution of it, so far as it has progressed, and the individual condition of many of the peo ple, and heard their statements as to the in conveniences, loss and suffering attending it we art* satisfied that it will involve, in the ag gn-gnte, consequences appalling and heart rending. Many poor women are in an advanced state of pregnancy, others, now having young children and wh«»se husbands are either in the army, prisoners or dead. Some say. I have such a one sick at home; who w;lf wait on them when I am gone? Others: What are we to do? We have no houses to go to, and no means to buy, build or to rent any; n*» pnrent>, friends or relatives to go to. An other says: I will try to take this or that article «•{ property, but such and such tilings I must leave In-hind, though I need them much. We reply to them: Generel Sherman will carry your property to Rough and Ready, and General Hood will take it from thereon, j And they will reply to that: Bm I want to | leave the railway at such a point, and cannot j get conveyance bora there ou. We only refer to a few facts to illustrate, in part, how this measure will operate in practice. A? yon advanced, the people north of us fell back, and before your arrival here, a large portion of the people had retired south: so that the country south of this is already crowded, and without houses to ac commodate the people; and we art* informed that many are mm- -.tarring ia churches and out buildings.

This is true—and orJv this ri true iu the case, that I gave my whole mind and effort to make the Society an r.u/. .ikm that shall embrace in its opcratloos. a:i-l enlist in its supjn it the whole State without regard to localities; and that 1 have eoulributcd and I urged evuy suggestion, os far as l was per mitted—that would promote the j kit inter est of the city and Society in the Fair of 1871.

We are permitted to make the following extracts from a letter received by a gentle man in thi< city, from a gentleman in South Carolina: Chester, S. C'., October 24,1871. The Circuit Court for this county com menced last Monday week. Judge 'i In>m*.s told the Grand J Ay they imtjst make dili gent enqinry in;.-fW tlie acts outlie Ku-Klux in this county, and thus purge the county from the slander that President Grant had set forth licit the laws could not be enfor The Grand Jury, last Saturday, reported and relumed the following persons from western side of the District, as having been engaged in that business, viz: Dr. \v. M. McCall urn and son. Garland II. Smith and son, William Carter, (Sill's son,) Hugh Pc del-grass, John jClialk and Jerry Walk Bench warrants were ordered to issue at on against them and a number from the upper portion of the county. John W. Walker, Sheriff, went out in the Carmel Hill country yesterday, believing that he could arrest all those in that section, and baring that they might resist his deputies. I saw him this morning, and he says that all of them have kit the country. John Chalk left some riuic&incc of his own accord, and is therefore* not to be placed with th;; others. Charles 1J.

This stale oi thing York makes the p.uri* extend to (’lievt-r and a large number, the greater portion of the young men on theBioad River side of the county have left. A few have left the town. Judge Thomas toi l me last night that he was willing to wag* r everything he had in the world that of the eight}' in jail in York they could not convict more than one in ten. York and Spartanbuig counties are almost depopulated by the men, and the poor women and children are left to the mercy of tl ignorant and cruel negto.

Our Railroads.—Our city lias lieen visit ed during the past week by two corps of railroad engineers, surveying experimental lines for their respective roads—Messrs. Grant, Deters, Soloman, Cnssin, and others of the Atlanta party; and Messrs. Eliuore, Jones, Wells, and others, of the Savannah and Memphis party. Oil Friday last Major Elmore rcconnoi- tered a line up Talladega creek, nnd was very favorably impressed with the prospect. The Atlanta or Georgia Western party made their survey via Arhacoochee. If they succeed in getting a line through the mountain at Burgess’ gap.it would be al most an air line, failing in this, the advan tages of a common line from 1 he creek gap to Talladega and thence to Birmingham would compensate for tie* increased length of line. A common track from Talladega to Birmingham would of i - ii be equal toa subscription of six hundred thousand dollars to each road. I * would save to each company the building of from thirty to thirty-live miles of road and ha f the expense of a bridge across the Coosa. Neither road would have to lengthen its line more than live or six miles to accomplish this important junc tion. Of course these matters will :i!i be looked into and duly considered in locating the road. The intelligent corps of engineers will also be very apt to find the m—i prac tical routes which in our opinion will Ik* through the eitv of Talladega.—Talladega Republican. A ( liiId's Uremia. BY CIIARLKS DICKENS. There was once a child, and he strolled about a good deal, and thought of u number of things. He had a sister, who was a child, too, and his constant companion. These two used to wonder all dav long. They v dcred at the beauty of flowers; they v tiered ai the goodness and power of God, who made the lovely world. They used to say to one another some times: “Supposing all the children on the earth were: to die, would the flowers, and the water, and tiie sky Ik: sorry ?” They be lieved they would Ik: sorry. “For,” said they, “the buds arc the children of the flow ers,'and the playful little streams that gam bol down the hillsides are the children of waters; and the smallest bright specks play ing at hide and seek in the sky all night must surely be the children of the stars: and they would be grieved to see their play mates, the children of men, no more.” There was a star that used to coine on the sky before the rest, near the church spire, above the graves. It was larger and more* iKMiitiful they thought than all the others, and every night they watched for it, standing hand in hand by the window; whoever saw it first cried out: “1 see the star 7 ” And oft. ii they cried out together, know ing so well when it would rise and where. So they grew to be such frit nds with it that before lying down in their lied* they looked out once again to hid it good night; and when they were turning around to sleep, they satd— “God bless that star J” But while she was still very young, oh, very young, the sister drooped, and came to be so weak that sue could no longer stand the window at nig-.it, and then the child look ed sadly by himself, and when he saw the star, turned round to the patient, pale face on the bed, “I see the star 7” and then a smile would come upon her face, and the weak little voice used to say: “God bless my brother and the star 7” And so the time came all too soon, when there was no face on the bed; and thi re was a little grave among the graves not there be fore and when the star made long rays to wards him who saw it tiirougli his tears. Now, these rays were so bright, and they seemed to make such a beautiful wav from earth to heaven, that when the child went to his solitary bed, he dreamed of the star: and dreamed that lying where he wag, he saw a train of people taken up the shining road by angel*. And the star ojiening, showed him a great world of light, where many more such angels waited to receive them. All the angels who were waiting turned their beaming eyes upon the people v, he were carried up into the star; and soon came out from the long rows in which they stood, and fell upon the people’s necks and kissed them tenderly, and went away with them down avenue* of light, and were so happy iu their company, that lying in bed he wept for joy. His sister’s angel lingered near the entrance of the star, and said to the leader among those who bad]brought the people thither:— “ Has my brother come ?” She was turning hopefully away, when the child stretched out his arms, and said—“O, sister, 1 am here! take me*” and then she turned her beaming eyes upon him, and then it was night, and the star was shining into his room, making rays down toward him as he saw them through his tears. From that moment the child looked out upon the star us one of the homes he was to go to, when the time should come, and he it ought he did not belong to earth alone, but to the star, too, because cf his sister’s angel gone before. There was a baby l*orn to be a brother of the child: and while he was yet so little that he had never spoken a word he stretchbd his tiny form out upon the bed, and died. Again the child dreamed of the open star, and the company of angels, and the train of people’s faces. Said hi* sister's angel to the leader: “Has my brother come?” And he said; “Not that one. but another.” As the child beheld his brother’s angel in her arms, he cried: “O s ster, I am here! take me!” And she turned and smiled upon him, and the star was shining, Now i ti Carolina.

The Radical majority in Pennsylvania ii 14.(500. The negro vole polled first time was 20,000, and was Radical. The Radical n; jority at the Governor's election was 5,000. Under this slate of facts the Democrats have no cause for chagrin or disappointment Add tin: 20,(«00 negro vote to the Radical lorily of 5,000 last elci tion, and the Radical majority this year should have been 31,000 instead of 14.000. This difference of 17,000 is a falling off in the white Radical vote, that without the new accession of the negro vole, the Radicals would have been defeated by a majority of 17,000 less 5,000, or 12,000 votes.

The Mobile Register favors the programme saying that it is better for the party to } ield its preferences than its manciples, that &cnsi b.c men take the .mailer < f two inevila! evils, and that it would rather see Gratr Brown made President with Democratic aid without abandonment of Democratic doc trine, than Chase elected as a Democrat the basis of undemocratic departure from principle Kewipapcr Jubitov. \ cry few papers, religious or secular, now published, have l*.eu in existence more tlinn a quarter of a century, but the New York Observer announces that it will enter upon its fiftieth year in the beginning of 1»7: was established as a religious paper, givin; also, the most important secular news, and it has been one of the ablest, and at the same time, one of the most successful journals in the country.
