1 xmDistinct Pwht THE DAILY SUN. Thvrrdat Morning ..June 15 dhonld Not iluve Been Said. f ij"j Announcement. On the 17th day of May last, Mr. J. Henly Smith, of this city, a gentleman well-known as a thorough newspaper man, purchased an interest, and was placed in charge of the entire management of The Son. At that time it was resolved to to make it a first-class paper in every re spect; and since then neither labor nor experience have been spared to make it attractive and worthy of public favor. What lias already been done is only a small beginning—a mere earnest of what shall be done hereafter. Mr. Smith’s excellent management thus far shows that his reputation as a journalist is well deserved. This entire control was trans ferred to him with full confidence in his industry and ability to make Tbs Son such a paper as the people desire. Thus far he has had, and hereafter shall have, my undivided support in its general business afikirs. t - v- -4* : And I am most happy farther now to announce that Hon. Alexander H. Ste phens has purchased an interest in The Son, and from this day he is one of its proprietors and editors. .1 - v The political department of the paper will hereafter be under the advisement, direction and general control of Mr. Stephens. His well-known past course in public affairs, marked at all times by prudence, firmness and moderation in his devotion to the principles of Consti tutional Liberty, is a sufficient guaranty as to tho tone and temper with which this department of the paper will be con ducted. A leading feature in it will be the in-, cnlcation of the doctrine that the essential principles of public liberty should never be forgotten, and that no lessons in tended to open np the way to Centralism and Empire in this country shonld ever be learned. I take pleasure in saying further, that Tins Sun is amply supplied with money to carry out the programme agreed upon, to make it a leading and influential news paper. The cash, representing a large capital stock, is all paid up and now in bank. Tho splendid basis upon which the paper now stands, and its future pros- pocts, are matters of just pride to me. ""’""‘•"‘•‘■WA M. Speights. Rally to tlie s^ppm-r-.. ' j Tire Sun will be a correct exponent of true Democracy, a defender of Consti tutional Liberty, and an advocate of Good Government. We shall be zealous and earnest in defense of truth and the ex posure of error in all men and parties.— We shall stand by honest principle, and oppose damaging, time-serving measures. We shall defend the rights and interests of tho people—the honest, nncorrnpted and incorruptible masses—against all mo nopolies or oppressive measures or policy, either ^ftsjovernmente or individuals. We appeal to the friends of Freedom, Truth and Right to aid us in our crusade against, oppression and wrong. Examine onr paper, and if you approve our prin ciples, give us a helping hand. (| ^ | ~*' We respectfully appeal to each person •. into whose hands Teds Sun may fall, to aid us iu extending onr circulation. A very .little effort by our friends will largely iu crease our list and extend the usei nlness of The Sun. Let clubs be formed at every post-office in the country. Examine our clnb rates. The Sun is the cheapest daily in' the South, and gives more rending matter every day thau-any paper in Georgia. W ‘ Our telegraphic dispatches are far bet- . ter than those furnished by the Associat ed Press. We are commonly ahead of that association in important news, and we frequently have news ahead of the Cincinnati, Louisville and Nashville papers. Friends, give us a lift. A writer in th* New York World, in a letter from this city dated 3rd June, in speaking of Mr. Jefferson Davis’ late speech in this city, which was reported and published at length in the columns of the Sun, after indulging in some needlessly harsh language towards Mr. Davis, uses this language in reference to TUG Li.AsiE OF THE At. ft, W. RAILROAD. Card from President White. 8. ) 3o.,£ U ) President’s Office, Macon and Western Railroad Co, Macon, Ga., June 12,1871 Editors Telegraph, and Messenger: In your issne of yesterday appears a notice to the stockholders of the Macon & Wee- Gen. Garlington, who introduced him to j tern Railroad Company, with an explana- the audience in a chaste and elegant speech : He «u introduced at this place and put upon ■peaking by a certain General Garlington, who is a torv note from Col. L. N. Whittle. Hi Col. Whittle’s note I find the following sentence: “I was not notified of the proposed iuouurti uy a rcr aiu ueut'nw irdfiii.ifum, who is a ' ^ n t> n _ .a .a * A* Southern General after the fashion of such Northern Of the Board as th© Other DlT6C- General* a* your Woodford and Bn-teed.

Since the pence he lia. been acting a* editor ot the JnMUycnctr here—a paper professedly Democratic of old, is now well known to be the mouth-piece of Bullock and the Radic'la. who keep it goiug financially. I hope Garlington did not serve the Radicals for pay, in bringing Mr. Davis forward, as he certainly Met so serve them in the columns of bis paper. But it is! neither jnst nor decent that such as he should he allowed to play upon Mr. Davis’ wrak points t tin detriment of the whole Southern peoplo. ~dt •— 4 These remarks are very unjust to Gen. G. and very uncalled for. He is an hon orable, high-minded gentleman, an able lawyer, an accomplished scholar and one of our very best citizens. Daring the late war, and all his life before, he was a citizen of South Caroli na. At the commencement of the war he was one of the Executive Council of Governor Pickens—a post of high honor, conferred upon him by the joint action of the Governor and the Convention of the people of that State; and in the divi sion of duties in that Council the coast defenses fell to his department. When Fort Sumter fell he resigned his place in Governor Pickens’ Cabinet, and was ap pointed a Brigadier-General of one of the first Brigades of Volunteers raised in the State, which was composed of the flower of South Carolina. By an act of the Confederate Congress at Montgomery, he, with all other State Brigadiers, lost his place—that act pro viding that only Regiments of Volunteers with their organization should be receiv ed. Gen. G. then volunteered and ac cepted an office in the line—that of Ma jor in the “Holcombe Legion,” and served a tour of duty on the coast. He was af terwards elected Adjutant-General of the State by its’ Legislature, and served in that capacity till the close of the war.— In 1864 he was very nearly elected Gov ernor, lacking only a few votes of a ma jority, in a contest with- Governor Ma- grath. After the war, he received the indorse ment of the people among whom he lived. He was elected to the Legislature—the regime? ^eld in that State under the old w When he came to AtlanRE"n«j npon the practice of the law. By his conduct as a gentlaman and a member of the Bar, and by his marked ability, he has won the esteem of all our people. His connection \ritli the Intelligencer was simply as its political editor, after the death of Major Steele, and had no connection with the business or financial department of that journal while it ex isted. No one who read his editorials can charge him with being the mouth piece of Bullock, or otherwise than sound Democrat. That writer in the Wcrld has done gross injustice to Gen Garlington. What is to Be Doue with the Alabama A Chattanooga Road. Chief Justice Chase. A small paragraph appeared among some news i tems in The Sun of the 13th, to tins eflect: ■»»» ;->• -.a *5 - “Chief Justice Chase has announced his intention to vote for the Democratic ticket in Ohio.” — Now what Mr. Chase is reported to have said is, that he approved the New Departure platforms of Ohio and Penn sylvania, and npon these would support their ticket. This is perfectly consistent with Chase’s views. He always was a fanatic, and never was a good Democrat. What Radical cannot stand with per fect consistency on the same platform with Chase? It is the proper place for the Radical Chief Justice, until he .changes opinions he has professed to hold for these many yews! The New York Sun has out a new ticket—“ The Farmers’Candidate. For President, the great and good Horace Grecly, of Texas. Judge Grandin, one of the Receivers appointed by Judge Busteed, says: “ Our purpose is to leave the existing condition of ’affairs undisturbed, if we find the management of the railroad such as will comport with the exigencies of the case. “Above all, we intend to look to the interest of the State of Alabama, which is the principal creditor of the corpora tion, and we are quite sure that Judge Busteed would not allow us to retain the office .a moment if. he thought other wise. “ We intend to treat with the employes of the road as reasonable men, and we have no doubt of our ability to satisfy their every just demand. We have al ready telegraphed to Chattanooga; Tus caloosa and Meridian to this effect. We have also telegraphed to Soutter & Co., of New York, agents for the European bondholders, what is our purpose. “ The Marshal has to seize the railroad and deliver it into onr possession. When that is done I will be able to give you my views and purposea . '* ^ VJ “I think there is every reason to be lieve that this action of the court will benefit the road. We intend, during our brief administration to order things so that the public shall be satisfied that the road is what it onght to be, and will be, a great and beneficial institution for the State of Alabama, and the country at large. There will be no trouble or diffi culty of any sort if we can help it. “ So far as the interest of the State is concerned, I have conferred with the Governor, and he is satisfied with the ac- tion of the court ” The members of the principal reli gious denominations in the world are estimated as follows : Greek Church, 69,692,700; the six other Oriental Churches, 6,500,000: Roman Cotho- lies, 195,000,000; Protestants, 98,- 139.000,000 Mohammedans, SCO,000,- 000; Budhists, 340,000,000; other other Directors had been notified, while I had not been, I enquired of one of the | Board what was the object of the meet ing, and whether anything of importance «M to be done; he replied there was bi isiness of importance to be acted on, but that he had promised Captain White, the President, not to inform me—so that while I only knew in an irregular way that there was to be a meeting on the 25th of May, I did not know the object of that meeting, or what was proposed to be done atit.” ; I know Col. Whittle too well to enter tain the idea that he would make an in tentional misrepresentation, and I am sure T esteem him too highly to allow him or the public to rest under the im pression that I would treat him with dis courtesy, either personally or as a Direc tor of this company. The facts touching notice to the Direc tors are as follows: I was engaged myself in giving notice to the Directors of the proposed meeting of the Board to take place on the 25th of May, accompanied with full explanations of the reasons for the action contempla ted at the meeting. Each Director, as the explanations were given, approved cordially of the meeting, and of the pro posed action of the meeting. Two of the Directors (I think Judge Holt and Mr. Solomon) offered themselves to notify Col. Whittle. I said no. I preferred to see Col. W. myself,' and in person explain to him fully the reasons for the meeting. There was no desire on my part that Cm. Whittle shonld not be informed, but I desired to give him the notice and the information myself as I did the other Di rectors. Accordingly, on that very day when I was no'ifying the others, I was going to Col. Whittle’s office to notify him and was informed he was absent from the city, perhaps at Rome. Before his i-etum I was compelled to leave the city. Several days before the 25th—nearly a week I think—learning that Col. W. was in the city and proposed leaving again with an excursion party, I determined to see him and urge him to attend a meeting of the Board. I was proceeding to his office with Col. W. B. Johnston for this pur pose, when we saw Col. Whittle approach ing from the direction of the Lanier House. He hailed me and said, “ What is this meeting of the Board for on the 25th ? Is there anything special or im portant?” adding that he desired to i^ave the city with an excursion party. ven/^arn?^™ ^ business of will remain.” 1 Cc hope J 0 ® in conversation with otL t er t ^?? + f nga ® e 4 not coming forward to go to hiabn^: and believing my answer would certainly secure his attendance at the meeting of the Board on the 25th, when the whole business would be laid fully before him I was satisfied. If, therefore, Col. W. did not get the notice.given to the other Directors, it was because he was absent from the city at the time I was giving that notice, ana certainly from no desire on my part to conceal anything from him. The notice he finally received did not secure his at tendance as I supposed. As he was not present on the first coming together of the Directors on the 25th, I sent my bug gy for him, but he came before my buggy reached his office, aitd found the other Directors waiting for him. This shows we desired his presence. If another Di rector declined to give him the informa tion it was only because I desired to give him that information in person, accompa nied with a full explanation of the ob ject of the meeting, and I deeply regret that his absence frdqa the city prevented me from, doing as l desired. The legality for this lease is a question for the courts, and has oeen carried be fore them. Thepdicy of the lease is a question for the stockholders, and they will soon assemble to pass upon it The effect of tbc lease I am fully per suaded, will-nted |ie very greatly the in terest of the sis ohddera of the Macon & Western Railrjy * Company, and of the city and citizengiof Macon. These in terests I have eudeavoied steadily and faithfully to keep in view, and in doing so I am satisfied the Board of Directors have acted legally, and I know I have en deavored to discharge my duties with all courtesy to my associates, and with fideli ty to my stockholders. When all tho facts are fully known I am confident the conclusion will be con curred in by all. Very respectfully, A. J. White. I desire to say that the statements made in the foregoing communication touching the notification given by Col. Whittle in my presence are strictly true! - ; '*'7"- • Vm. B. Johnston. MXSCKGKXATLON.

J Last Sunday evening at the First African Baptist Church in this city, as is the usual custom with, the pastor, when giving out his appointments, kc., he asked it there were any marriages to be solemnized on that occasion. No s<'out. v.tlie q\n *tionasked, than up rose from the back part if the church a huge black 300-pound nigger and hanging to his arm was a white woman. They proceeded J up the entire aisle of the church and presented themselves before the astonished preacher and noJcss astonished con gregation, and asked that they be made man and wife. The preacher at once Informed them that fhe laws of the country prohibited such alliances as the couple sought, and he could ’ hot undertake the job. This piece of information seemed to astonish the embryo groom, while the agitated hearings of the fair damsel’s gentle bosom gave unmistakable evi dence that she was totally 'Unprepared for such an announcement. The thing was assuming a serio- tragico appearance, and the- great''sweat-beads that chased each other down the eb>>n lace ol'the man was an indication of the contest xagiug within that manly bosom.

Right here, no <: obt. it appeared to him an abrupt end to ’biB fihdost dreams of wedded bliss. t Here, the worst of all times, he had stumbled npon a point of law which, in his eagerness and contemplated happiness, he had overlooked.

R. to pass over the track thence to Chattanooga until thnt little matter between tho two roads of $12,000 was settled. The Mar shal telegraphed to Supt. Thomas at Nashville for permission to proceed, which was refused unless the aforesaid sum was paid. The Marshal then pledg ing himself to fix up the little matter with Judge Houko when ho arrived at Chattanooga, received per mission to proceed. But right then he was met by a committee of employees of the A. & C. Road, with notice that they, too, must be satisfied. The Mar shal, succeeding by promises in pacifying them, Ob tained their consent, and safely arrived at Chatta nooga. It is said, npon reliable authority, that Stanton, on yesterday telegraphed all the station agents on the A. & C. R. R. to pay no attention to the orders of thoU. S.

Secretary Boutwell, a few days ago re ferred to Attorney-General Aker man the question whether the State of Massachu setts is entitled to a return of the inter nal ret eaue tax paid on dividends accru ing to the State as a stockholder in the Boston and Albany Railroad. The At torney-General has just submitted to the Secretary his opinion in the case. He states that he does not understand the law to compell the Commissioner to re fund the tax which he may judge to have been erroneously collected. He is au- thorized, but not obliged, to refund, bnt Asiatic religions, 260,000,000; Pa- a .£ OTei ? meut tbat abhors g»ns, 800,000,000: Jews, 0,000,000. £ A xr w K tl XT ^pt an apparent fault of the tax-payer, r A Vicksburg correspondent of the New or lus acquiescence therein, constitute York Herald details in a column’s length, sufficient circumstance to’ credit the the wide revival of Voudooism, of which claim.

A Child Discovered in a. Well. Tho police were notified yesterday tfiatTi mum wa8 found in » well, on a lot to tho right of Houston street. Upon repairing to the plaeo, the body of an infant was taken from an old well, where it had been thrown. Upon examination, it was de cided that it.had been there at least for three weeks. The body was tied np in a piece 1 of an old calico 1 dress. The police at once set to work to discover, If possible, tlie mother of the .child. After looking around for some time, a portion of a dress .corres ponding with the piece in which the child was wrapped, was found in tlie possession of a negro woman. She was taken into custody, together with two other women, and lodged in the calaboose. Af ter some questioning of the parties, aud an exami nation by physicians, two of them were relea od, and the third, (supposed mother), was retained in custody. The case will have proper ventilation to day, when, no doubt, thei whole zffair will be brought to light. LOOKING FOR A DEAD NIGGER. A Long Tramp With a Fruitless Termi nation. Yesterday some boys came to town and reported to the police that the body of a dead negro woman was seen in a briar patch to the left of the State' Road, and some two miles from the city. '^alicbm»MIej|< drick discredited the story for some time, bnt at last concluded to go with the boys and see if the repdrt was true. They carried him to tho - place they had reported the corpse seen. But if was not there; The entire neighborhood was thoroughly searched, but without finding anything of this.kind. The boys appeared to be excitqd, and no doubt they liad seen, at hand what they supposed to bo a dead negro; hut it is more than probable that some woman had Iain down drunk, which caused them to believe 6he was dead, and during their absence had become sufficient ly sober to move off. At any rate, the policeman re turned considerably the worse for his long tramp. OGLETHORPE FIRE COMPANY, OF SAVANNAH EXPRESS THEIR FEELINGS. We have received from the Secretary of Ogle thorpe Fire Company, of Savannah, a preamble and long iist of resolutions adopted by that Company on its return from the Celebration on the first of May.

Gthi That the tlurnks of this Company are due and are hereby tendered most sincerely aud most hear tily, to tho ladies of Atlanta, by whose gentle bauds our reception was made a scene of floral beauty, our steamer decked with wreaths such as woman’s hands alo e can twine.

A Gentleman Goes Home to Dinner and Rinds Lis Wife in Consultation with s Lawyer—He Makes Peace. We ask pardon for making a note of tho following drcumstanco, which, notwithstanding, it at one time promised to prove a serious matter to one of our very particular friends, wo cannot resist the temptation to tell it—but the talc is unfolded with the least intention to wound the feelings of the phrties—but simply to give Tee Sun readers THE NEWS OS' THE TOWN, for which The Sun has become proverbial. The gentleman in question has usually “ worn the breech'-s” and made himself comfortable “down town” during tho day iu pursuit of buisness, and •« happiness,” never thinking of the importance of putting in an appearance at dinner. He acknowl edged noticing that something appeared to be the “ XIATTEP WITH HANNAH," at home, but did not dream that she felt in the least neglected, nor that the “green-eyed monster” had taken up an abode in the heart of his premises. The gentleman, notwithstanding, persisted in pushing his business, and dined with PEASE AND HIS WIFE, day after day—treading unconsciously on a volcano ail the time. On Monday evening, however, he closed up at an unusually early hour, and repaired home to enjoy tlie SOCIETY OF ITS DEAR ONES, when on entering, what a scene he beheld I His excellent, but suspicious wife, stated at a table with one of our prominout lawyers, the latter with pen and paper, drawing a btll of divohce! The attorney, being a mutual friend, sot the case before the gentleman, when an explanation, was made, and everything went as merry as a nffuntijme belle. Instead of drawing np papers, the lawyer went to drawing corks—and soon succeeded iu making the whole family happy I instead of a breach that would have widened until an ocean of misery rolled between the now happy couple. Moral—This often comes of a man’s neglect to in form his wife of the status of his business; but ofteuer on account of his staying away all day. But staying out late o’ nights, is a sure case of divorce. .A. QDtiuicil &i>Dertisumjem0. JProclRmatioii. GEORGIA: By Rufus B.iiullock, Governor of said State.

A Father Kills His Sen in an Attempt to Murder His Wife at Kingston. We learn from a gentleman who arrived here on the State Road train, that a most foul and atrocious murder was committed at Kingston, yesterday morn ing, a little after daylight, by a man named Hum phries, who, in attempting to shoot his wife,, while lying in bed, killed his son, aged about thirteen years.

The wound did not prove fatal. Humphries was confined in jail. His wife and son after her recovery from her wound, came to Kingston, where she has pur sued the life of an industrious woman, working hard to support herself by the aid of her son, who was a boy of good character, and often employed about the depot there. Yesterday morning the murderer, whose wherea bouts was formerly unknown to the mother and son, seems to have have inform d himself as to their resi dence, to which he went and over the top of the door discharged the contents of a shot giuiloaded with fif-' teen buckshot, intending, as he confesses, to kill his wife.
