4. THE ATLANTA W EEKLY SUN THE DAILY SUN Saturday Morning September 9. * VetT Dr. Greeley, as a prophet, lias ‘turned up. In 1S52 lie wrote as follows for Grahams Magazine: “We Amirieans of tho nineteenth century will be found in due time to have inscribed ourselves ■most legibly on the earth’s unfading •record. * * * A railroad over the .-Rocky Mountains, a telegraph across the . Atlantic, a towering observatory wherein . all the storms and calms at any moment ,prevailing within the earth’s atmosphere .shall be portrayed on a common dial plate, and the storms which shall take place at .any point during the next day or week, -with their several directions and inten aities.” And all these things have come to pass in his day and generation. Great is America, and Dr. Greeley is her chief prophet. _ XETTER FROM IVANHOE. “Bfo Ytllnv/ Pivtr-Plare np xviMi I lie Radicals—'Their flundcrlngj exposed J»—A Radical Governor’s Secretary At* tempts a Big '‘Steal’'--Scliools Madly "Mixed, Etc. New Oubeans, Sept. 5, 1871. Although the business season has not set in here, active preparations are in progress for its speedy arrival. Stores are being refitted and supplied with :goods of every description." Houses, -churches ami theaters are being built or .repaired. . Dp to this date we have had no yellow •fever, and the weather is 'now becoming so cool, that we entertain little or no ap prehension. Among tho interesting events of last •week, are Judge Abel’s charge to the grand jury, complaining of tho financial •corruptions of the day, and tho spirit of ■speculation and peculation that enters into the administration of every depart ment of the Government. It is a bold and manly expose of the various tricks presorted to by unscrupulous office-liold- fers-in fleecing the people, from the judge • upon the bench to the humblest tax payer in the community; and tho public is much indebted to him for plucking stiie mask from oflicial villians, and pub lishing facts, which, though long known, have not at any time before, been so boldly announced and so scathingly de- , .mounted. If he were not himself a high- minded, honorable man, who commands -Hie general confidence in his statements, ‘. they would not be so approvingly receiv- "cd as they now are. 1 Another incident which has occasioned not a little sensation, and produced quite a flare up among the Radicals, particu larly among those who intended to make a profitable job of the city water works, is the dismissal, by Gov. Warmoth, of his Secretary of State, for undertaking to promulgate an Act of Incorporation of •said Water Works, passed at tho last ses- . sion of the Legislature, which he had not signed, and which did not receive his •official sanction. For this piece of pre sumption on tho part of the Secretary, .the Governor suspended him, very prop- -.erly, from his office till the next session of the Legislature, and appointed Gen eral Herron to occupy his place ad interim. The period for opening all the schools, parochial and private, as well as public, having arrived, after the summer vaca tion, several of tho clergy, last Sunday, .addressed their congregations on the sub ject of education, making a fierce on- slauglit on the public schools as conduct ed in New Orleans. The administrators of these schools are radicals, and go for leveling up the black race to a footing of equality with the whites, and mixing tlie two races together in the same schools.— All decent people are opposed to this ini- -quity, and naturally and properly rebel against paying taxes to support such schools, Denominational schools are consequently established all over the city, and the system of public plunder, in the shape of popular education for tho .paxti-colored masses, will, ere long, have to be abandoned. It awakens nearly universal indignation. Tho tidal wave, which, according to Prof. Agassiz, is to rise to the height of fifty feet, and to sweep over the whole gufi coast", on the 6th proximo, to the no .little terror and wide spread destruction of our inhabitants, excites the exceeding merriment of some of our city journals Iyanhoe, their knees every night for sending him to them; that he was the champion of their race and was willing to suffer mar tyrdom for their sakes; that as Christ had shed his blood for their souls, so he would shed his for their liberty. At the conclusion of the speech he took occasion to remind them of the fact that, as he was willing to do the suffering, they must “foot the bills”—that the la borer was worthy of his hire. He wanted every man, woman and child to briDg up their offering—“none of your one and two dollars will do for me,” says he; “money, and aplenty of it, I must and will have. So bring ifcright along 1” and they brought it. One old negro said he had no money, bnt would give a bushel of potatoes; another offered a peck of rice; some would bring fish, another oysters, &c. Campbell slept that night a wealth ier if Dot a better man. The following day, believing that he had the woi-ld in a swing, he arrested another British captain, whose offense consisted in defending his quarter-deck against a mutinous negro crew, who at tempted to take his boat and leave his vessel. In all these outrages upon the persons and property of the whites, he seems to have the sympathy of the United States officials, and is backed by a baud of three or four hundred armed negroes, the whole of whom he can assemble at an boar’s notice, and who would do his bid ding, even to the slaying of every white person within their reach. When the Sheriff was ordered by Judge Sessions to arrest the mutinous crew of the boat Grace, and deliver them to the Captain, he refused to do it, say ing that he would be murdered if he did; that they were guarded by a hundred armed negroes who swore they should not be taken. The Sheriff is a negro, but not a favorite with Campbell. He is the only officer in the county who is dis posed to do his duty, bnt is powerless to do a thing contrary to the wishes of Campbell. A warrant from the Superior Court of Fulton county, for the arrest of Camp bell, was sent to Darien, which the Sher iff would not execute until .he had Camp bell’s permission to do so. He was then taken before Judge GilHson, a white Jus tice, and required to give bond. The bond was worthless, and tho Judge re ceived it. The court house and yard was full of infuriated negroes, swearing that the heavens and earth should come to gether, before Campbell should goto jail. One white-haired old negro, who ap peared to be acting as chief that day, when the judge refused to accept the bail, said to the crowd “iVow is the time/” In an instant every negro in the house was upon his feet; but Campbell turned and said, "Not now," and all was quiet im mediately, every negro resuming his seat. A white lawyer, who does the dirty work for Campbell, then drew up a writ of habeas corpus, and the Ordinary (ne gro) sent for Campbell and discharged him forthwith upon the “straw bail” that he had offered. The Ordinary has since acknowledged that his action was illegal, and that he knew it was at the time; hat if he had sent Campbell to jail, there is no telling what would have been the consequence. Bennett, the Sheriff, remarked in the presence of several white gentlemen, that there were no less than three hundred stand of arms on the premises ready for instant use, and he believed that if he had attempted to put Campbell in jail, his life would have been forfeited, and that a general massacre would have fol lowed. Sach is also the opinion of the citizens of Darien. Under all these aggressions, the people have been patient and forbearing, trust ing the coming time when Hie State will be rid of Bullock and those he has sent out to pester and annoy the people. Let the day come quickly. * * ~ THE PUBLIC DEBT.

Darien, Ga., Sept. 5, 1871. JEilitors of the Sun: Possibly there is no •autocrat who wields a greater influence over his subjects than the negro Senator Campbell wields over his serfs in this sec tion of the State. The slaves of Aladdin’s lamp were never more prompt in respond ing to a call, or more expeditious in exe •eating a commission. His decrees are carried out as faithfully as the decrees of « monarch could be. His ipse dixit is the only obligation the ignorant negroes care to know, and it is needless to say that his .voice is not always raised for good. The public is aware of the fact that 'this autocrat caused the detention of the .British boat Grace, discharging the sail- • ors aud hold the vessel for three weeks by a gang of armed negroes. He was ar- xested for the offense and taken before a United States officer, and a farcical trial had, and Campbell discharged. He went home, and sent out runners to make known that on a certain day he would .make a speech. The day came, and with it, every negro “for miles and miles around, ’ and the speech was made. Laugnago fails in an effort to describe the nature of tho speech.

James Boswell, the biographer of Dr. Sanra,el Johnson, sought immortality by associating liis name with and as the eu logist of the great English writer and lin guist. This was rather an amiable, though humble ambition in one who pos' sessed himself the finest literary abilities. Some of Mr. Stephens’ critics are some what more aspiring. They seem tube avrare that their names will scarce go down to posterity unless linked in some way with a nobler fame. They pitch into Mr. S. on every occasion. They treat him 1 as the personification of a new reve lation of Democracy, and seem to be ob livious that they themselves were advo cating the same Democracy when Mr. S was quietly writing his book, “The War between the States.” The fight as it stands, is too_unequal to GEORGIA NEWS. GRIFFIN. The Middle Georgian of the 8th has these two items: * , The Board of Directors of the Savan nah, Griffin and North. Alabama Bail- road were in session on yesterday, and we learn from a director, that the work is progressing finely from Newnan to the Biver. The crop prospect on the Bidge Boad, leading from this place to the Indian Spring, was never better. The cotton is tall, but is very heavily fruited. MARIETTA. The Journal of yesterday has the fol lowing items: A meeting in the interest of the. Mari etta and North Georgia Bailroad will be held in Ellijay on the 12th inst, when a reorganization will be made, settling all those little differences and irregularities, heretofore supposed, to have existed. We learn that the survey of the road from this point tfi Dallas has been com menced. Our citizens very liberally sub scribed the amount necessary to defray expenses, assured that the consolidated road would place upon this end a large working force by the 20th inst. This looks like business and we hope there will be no check in the programme. ; A . CALHOUN. The Times says: We have been shown a remarkable let ter, addressed, “Mr. James Beeves (The One Armed Man), Calhoun, Ga.;” post marked, Atlanta. It contained 30 cents U. S. Fractional Currency, accompanied with the following words: “I stole a feed of corn from you duri: g the late war.” We will add for the satisfaction of the unknown sender, that it got into Mr. Beeves’, the one-armed man’s, bands. GREENSBORO. St. Maui is exhibiting Ms tricks to the Greensboro folks. The Superior Court of Greene com mences its session Monday. Greensboro has paid 17£ cents a pound for her first bale of cotton. The Herald ofthe 17th says: We have information that a hale of new cotton was sold in White Plains on Fri day the 1st instant, to those sterling gentlemen, Messrs. Tappin & Mapp, at 20 cents; but the cotton was not grown in Greene. Our cotton merchants will have to wake up their energies. MACON. The Telegraph of the 7th brings the following: . . The river at this point rose nine feet yesterday between dawn and dark, and it will, doubtless, be quite full this morn ing. The ice factory on the bank of the river near the foot of Second street, is nearly ready to commence operations, and will manufacture the article at the rate of about a half ton per hour. Several of the fleet-footed blacks about town are training for the one mile foot race to come off during the fair. One of them—a little, bow-legged, stub-twisted, bullet-headed nigger—will, we tMnk, show even -Weston how to handle his heels. The Badical ratification meeting on Tuesday night last, at the City Hall, was slimly attended by the faithful, and little or no enthusiasm was manifested. The day has passed, we think, when the ne groes can be aroused en masse, by politi cal tricksters, as-they were soon after the war closed. The Citizen of the same date has the following: v - ■ From an entirely trustworthy source, we have been placed in possession of more detailed particulars concerning the terrible tragedy which occurred in Toomsboro on Wednesday night the 30th instant, to wMch we referred in our issue ef the 30th. In order to disabuse the minds of persons abroad, who may have looked at it in a political light, we hast en to give the facts as narrated to us. It appears that Matthew Deason, Sheriff of YVilUjynson county, had, without just cause or provocation, abandoned his most estimable wife and family, and taken up with a negro woman, with whom he has for sometime past been living in open concubinage in the midsfc of a most re spectable community. By this shame less life, combined with other circum stances,Deason rendered himsttf peculiar ly obnoxious to the people amotg whom helived, and every plan was resor&d to by them to break up the unnatural alliance or cause him to change the base of life nefarious operations. Every effort oa the part of the citizens having failed, he was permitted to follow unmolested the bent of his inclinations, until a few days before his untimely taking off, when he visited the village of Irwinton, where he met his wife upon the streets, and upon her approaching him, he raised his cow ardly arm and smotaher to the earth.— These facts becoming known in the im mediate community where he resided, public opinion was still more incensed against him, and longer forbearance ceas ing to be a virtue, some unknown person or persons seized upm the opportunity, and that night Mattlew Deason and his paramour were numbered with the dead. We have ever been tpposed to mob vio lence, but tMs is ont of those peculiar cases in wMch then seems to be some justification for the iifliction of summary punishment. The Telegraph of the 8th has the fol lowing: The washes in therailway lines leading to the seaboard disappointed a good many merchants yesterdaj who were expecting to receive goods fr*m New York. The roads will all be repaired in a day or so, or at least transportation resumed, when they will come formrd as usual. The river at this mint about noon yes terday was severalinches higher than it has been since whaiis known as the great Harrison freshet, rad was within about 34 inches of high wjter mark at that time. All of the differen railroads leading to this city have beta damaged more or less by the tremejdous fall of rain on Wednesday—the lacon & Western Boad suffering less, probably, than the others. On the Central Boad there were two washes of considerable extent, near this city, the one about seven and the other fifteen miles from town, at the first of which the down train, from this city, was stopped on Wednesday night, and at the second, the up passenger train was stopped yesterday morning. At this writing, 4 p. m., travel on this road is still suspended, and we learn that no trains may arrive or leave before to-morrow.— The Southwestern Bailroad also suffered by severe breaks on its line, about dark ou Wednesday evening, between here and Fort Valley, but they were promptly repaired yesterday, and the regular pas senger train arrived on time in the after noon. On the Macon and Brunswick Boad there was but one bread of any con sequence, end that was in the Ocmulgee bottom, near this city. The night train on Wednesday, started out, but returned about ten o’clock, when the Superintend ent of the road immediately fitted out a special construction train and went down to the break, and bv 8 o’clock yesterday morning the damage was repaired, and the regular morning trains left as usual, and crowded with passenger and freight. Some portions of the track on ‘this road was under water yesterday. On the Ma con and Augusta Boad there was a break made by the freshet, just on the opposite side of the river, and near the bridge, and no night trains were passing over the road at a late hour yesterday afternoon. None of the breaks above mentioned are of very serious character, and will soon be repaired, as the water was receding rapidly-at nightfall. The Citizen of the 20th gets up the following items: Mr. Jos. Tinley, the candidate for Sen atorial honors, nominated by the colored Bepublicans at Forsyth, last Saturday, is in the city to-day, and upon being in terviewed on the subject, declares he has not yet confered with the committee del egated to apprise him of his nomination, hut says if they propose to run him on any other than an out and out while man's ticket, they have got the wrong sow by the ears, that’s all. A Wilkinson county correspondent in forms us that a body of disguised mounted men rode into the village of Irwinton about 11 o’clock on Monday night, the 14th instant, and at once proceeded to the residence of the jailor, from whom they by force obtained the keys of the jail, which they entered. They then re moved therefrom a negro prisoner by the name of Harry Lowther, and after secu ring him, they conveyed him about, two miles from the village, and mutilating his body in a most demoniacal maimer aban doned him to await the coming of the grim monster. He 'was found in an insensible -condition the following morn ing, and taken back to the jail, where he now lies in a very precarious condition. This negro bears a notoriously bad char acter, and at the time of the unfortunate affair was in jail awaiting trial for one of the many crimes "with which he is charged. GAiNSVILIiE. The Air-Line Eagle of yesterday has these items: The new hotel is going up. The win dow and door frames are being placed in the first floor. We are informed that Capt. Sage, the Superintendent of the Air-line Bailroad, wiil commence laying the iron down again on the road in about two weeks, beginning at tMs place, It will not be long till, the good people higher up in the mountains will hear the whistle of the iron horse. We learn that capitalists from Ohio have recently purchased valuable mrning property on the Chestatee river, on the line of this county, and contemplate changing the current of the river and working out its bed. The bed of the Chestatee is a gold mine, from which large amounts of the precious metal have been taken with the imperfect machinery heretofore used. DALTON. of the 7tb, has the ap- A BLOODY STABBING AFFAIR. The Ciiizen pended items: The man who tried to hang hfmgp.lf in Walker county, (mention of which was made last week,) has since professed re ligion. Whe heard a man say the other day that some of the grashoppers in. his neighborhood are as large as'small pigs, and that they consume six ears of corn at one feeding. We don’t believe the story. Agingercake colored darkey was ar rested on an up freight train from At lanta, on Thursday evening, by our wide awake Marshal, and put in the city “lock up.” Beason: he borrowed forty dol lars, without leave, from a colored broth er in Atlanta. We passed through a portion of Catoo sa county last week, and noticed quite a number of fields of corn, the blades of which had been entirely destroyed by the grasshoppers, thousands of which we saw flying about in every direction. In some instances they had attacked the forest trees, stripping them of their leaves. We see they have made their appearance in the corn and clover fields immediately^ north ot this place, and are playing havoc with them. A revival of religion has been progress ing in MoLemore’s Cove, Walker county, for the past threo weeks. * The feeling manifested is said to be do§p and fervent, and old, gray-headed men are among the most earnest seekers for pardoning mercy, One tippling shop has been closed, and the keeper of it happily converted. Up to the present time one hundred and eighty have professed religion, among them some fifteen or twenty Universal- ists. NS e learn that a party of disguised men went to the house of an old man (name not recollected) living in the edge of Hamilton county, Tennessee, about 12 o’clock one night last week, and took Mm from his bed into a dense wood close by, and it is supposed murdered him, as they returned to his house a few hours afterwards and told his wife that they had taken her husband off for the pur pose of settling a long account against him. Up to the present writing (Wed nesday) nothing has been heard of him. Before leaving the house they stated to the wife of the missing man" that- they did not live in the county or State, but were strangers, citizens of Kentucky, and to corroborate this statement unmasked themselves in her presence, not one of whom, it is stated, was recognized bv her. Charleston, September 2.—There have been three yellow fever deaths in the last twenty-four hours. A Man Fatally Stabbed with a Bowie Knife. About two o'clock yesterday afternoon, a most bloody aud serious stabbing affair occurred at the corner of Marietta and Broad streets, in which James Little was fatally stabbed by one Benton O’Neal. The weapon used was a large bowie knife, the blade of which measured eight inches in length. The cut literally disem bowelled Little, who fell after walking a few steps. O’Neal was arrested and carried before Justice Johnson, who committed Min to jail. A preliminary trial 'will be had be fore him this morning at 10 o’clock. It appears that these men were former ly partners in the painting business, but had dissolved the co-partnership. In settling up their old business there was some disagreement, which resulted in a lawsuit. Yesterday they met at the above named comer, when an altercation occurred with this sad result. Both i comparatively young men, and have fam ilies. Little has a wife and three little children, and O’Neal has only a wife. At dark last flight Little was alive, but no hopes wOre entertained of his life. LATEST. Little died at 20 minutes past 12 this morning. Capt. Irwin will.prosecute the case. ■ ►-•■■4 Gov. Bullqclc Heard From. At last we have a bit of intelligence from His Excellency. He is in Califor nia. What he is doing, or what he went there foi*, or how long he intends to stay, or whether lie ever intends to come back, we have not learned. No doubt he is trying to enjoy Mmself. We wish he may yet be happy. Meantime we learn that Hon. B. L. McWhorter, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, has arrived iu the city. "Whether he came upon invitation, or of his'own motion, to be inaugurated Gov ernor or not, we have been unable to learn. •• - - ;■ » • 4 — Northeastern Railroad Survey. The last number of the Athens Watch man says: The survey of.the Northeastern Bail road was commenced last Tuesday,'under the direction of Mr. NY. W. Thomas, Chief Engineer. The Jefferson route will be first surveyed, after which that by Harmony Grove. We have not learned whether the route via Homer is to be surveyed.

The tax-payers elect two, and probably three, members of Congress. Judge Wm. Livingston committed sui cide; cause financial troubles. Mobile, September 8.—The following responsible c6tton factors of this city have been interviewed in reference to the cotton crop prospects: Crawford, Walsh, Smith & Co.; Toomer, Sykes & Billups; Charles Hopkins & Co.; Bell, Moore & Co.; Sims," Harrison & Co.; Murphy, Agnew & Co.; Millhouse, Shields & Co.; Stqjlenwerck Bro.; Baker, Lawler & Co.; Kirksey & Carpenter; Foster & Gardner; John H. Garner & Co. They say the ac counts received from friends in Alabama and Mississippi are of. the most unfavor able character. The general complaint is of damage to the growing crop by worms and rust, and it is variously esti mated at from one-half to two-thirds of last year’s crop. Milwaukee, September 8.—The Cold Springs Track, over wMch Goldsmith Maid made such wonderful time, measur ed 69 feet more than a mile, Louisville, September 8.—A collision occurred at 11 o’clock last night between two passenger trains on the Louisville and Nashville Bailroad, at Randolph Sta tion, about eight miles from this city. One person was killed, and two others fatally injored. Their names are Wm. Buchanan, of Ashville, N. C.; Dr. James Thomas, of Borne, Ga., and Mr. Grif fith, of Nashville. The train bound South ran into the rear coach of the train from MempMs and Nashville, as it was going upon the side track. Sur geons were promptly summoned by the Company, and everything done for the comfort of the wounded, of whom there /Were seven altogether. . LATER. The persons most seriously wounded, wickshire. last night, by the accident on the Louis- ville & Nashville Bailroad, and who are now at St. Joseph’s Infirmary, are B. Brady, of Little Bock, Arkansas; J. O. Griffith, of the Nashville UMon and American; James Stone, of Washington county, Mississippi, wounded in the head; W. W. Anderson, wounded in the head; Mrs. Cynthia D. Vickers, of Hills boro, Tennessee, and James Welsh, of Louisville. The injuries of these per sons are not regarded as dangerous, and they are doing well. Dr. James Thomas, of Borne, Georgia, and Wm. Buchanan, of Ashville, North Carolina, died tMs morrnng. Philadelphia, September 8.—Kane O’Donnell, a journalist, formerly con nected with the New York Tribune, is dead. Last week a large private party made an excursion down the Bay from Wil mington. The next day the whole party suffered from symptoms of poison, and a number of respectable families now have one or more members seriously sick. The cases have not been alarming, but they seem annoying and distressing, and one peculiar feature is that after the poi soned person seems to have recovered, he is seized again with as much severity as before. One doctor is said to be treating no less than forty cases suffering from the unfortunate influences. Chattanooga, September 8.—Chancel lor Key to-day, on application of the at- Gindrat gave a bond, signed bv rv Lindsay, of Alabama, for §300 000 „ j is now in possession of the road An- stock, machine shops, aud depots of n 2 Alabama and Chattanooga raiWl • Tennessee. oaa The only obstacles now to the runn™ of the road are the attachments in T) f county, Ga.

Alabama and Chattanooga Bailroad September 20th. ‘ ^ The greatest delight prevails univer sally at the prospect of the runnim? of the road. It will be perfectly safe for the State to run tho road, as all parties are anxious to enjoy its benefits. Boston, September 8.—The National Division of the Sons of Temperance has settled the question of colored member ship, by the adoption of the following preamble and resolutions : ° “ Whereas, in the order of the Sons of Temperance, under the jurisdiction of National Division, we know no distinc tion on account of face, or color or former condition, but all are alike equal befni-A the law; therefore "Resolved, that, in our future action we do not deem it expedient to organize separate bodies in the same territory, on account of any of the above named dis tinctions.” New York, September S.—A collision occurred on tho Bridgeville and New York Boad, in which three were killed and several hurt. The brakesman es caped. All were asleep at the time of the accident. David Doran, attempting to shield a young woman from roughs at Jones’ Wood, was killed. David Banks, the oldest law book seller in the State is dead—aged 85. .. Jackson, September S.—Judge Tarbell was, to-day, brought before the United States Commissioner, under the Enforce ment Act. Waiving examination, he was admitted to bail in the sum of $1,000 forjhis appearauce before the United States Court in January next. His of fense cousisted in telling certain Repub- lican officials that, unless they supported Capt. Lake, the Republican candidate for Sheriff, at the ensuing election, he would urge their removal from office. Washington, September 8.—Admrial Lee, commanding the Gulf squadron, is here.
