Newspaper Page Text8 THE ATLANTA WEEKLY 8 U N- JLIVKIIPOOI* Letter front A. M. S. An Art Gallery—Railroad Travel in England—How it DlflTrri from tike American Manner* • Liverpool, 17tli Sept., 1871. Tho few hours I have spent here, have been fnll of interest to a novice from onr Sunny South. So much that is strange and new—such magnificent buildings— elegant stores and thronging crowds— that tho brain becomes dizzy under the constant shifting of the cver-moviDg panorama. St. George’s Hall is ono of the great objects of attraction to travelers, and usually one of the earliest visited, j In one of the buildings not far from it, I first saw the famous gallery of paintings and statuary that have attracted so mneb attention, in this city. To undertake to describe them would extend this letter beyond all reasonable bounds, and I must forbear attempting to convey the pleas ure that I derived from their examina tion. My business called me to London, and as I desired to see as much as possible of the country through which I passed, I decided to* take the slow train on the Liverpool and Loudon Road, that start ed about noon, and that ran only thirty miles per hour. On English Railways there are three . classes of cars. No cheeks are given for baggage. A car is divided into three compartments, and each holds about ten . persons. They sit facing each other us in the old stage coach style, a door open ning in tho side. There is no water on the cars, nor any other conveniences such as arc usually found on board American trains. But at every depot where tho train stops for a minute or two, these conveniences are to be had. Before the train starts yonr tickets are examined, and at each station the con dnetor examine, before the train starts, the new passenger’s tickets. Every Rail road employees is in uniform, and from observation, I inferred they were far more numerous than on our Railways. One whom, during our late war, I would have taken, from Ids military dress,to be, at least, a Yankee -Brigadier Gene ral, was very polite to me, showed me to a seat, took charge of iny bag gage, and the end of my journey again brought it to me and carried it for me several hundred yards to a hotel porter, and when I was wondering at liis polite ness, and congratulating myself that my evident freshness in the country had in Tiled all this attention aud kindness, and was fixing up as meet a return of thanks as I could muster—in words—a friend at my olbow hinted that a shilling would be far moro acceptable to the brigadier than any thanks of the tongue. I at once act ed upon the suggestion, and silently slip ped him apieco of silver (almost ashamed to offer it to so distingui died a looking personage), bat the martial air at once unbent, smiles covered bis face, and gal lantly raising his military cap, lie gave me a salute, pocketed his shilling and wont to wait upon some other verdant traveler like myself. But, I cannot forbear here to say, that from all officials and employees, of every kind, serving the public, since I have been here, I have never failed to receive, whenever applied to, answers both gen tlemanly and satisfactory. I never met i here the gruff, and often insolent, officials, sometimes, and too often, to be met with in the States. It is a double track-way from Liver pool to Loudon—distance about two hundred miles; the fare of first-class .tickets, thirty-fir' shillings; second cV t twenty-six, and ujird class sixteen sliil- tings. Tho latter were far better filled. The second class were as comfortable as I noeded, and as I found, there the mid dle classes mostly, I journeyed with them as a matter of choice, finding such tp be usually more communicative on subjects of interest to a stranger. A. M. S. Personal. Col. J. G. Miner, formerly of this city, but now of Nashville, is here attending the Fair, and represents that sterling Democratic journal, the Union and Amer ican. Everybody here knows CoL Miner, and will bo glad to greet him again. Dr. O. S. Prophitt returned yester day from an extended trip through the Southwestern States, and the Indian Na tion. The Doctor could not pass him self - : off as a prophitt among the Ingines, so he has returned to his first love, in good health. City Trade. The Jobbing business yesterday, was immense. All our wholesale houses were up to their eyes, shipping goods. Par ticularly were tho grocery men bosy. Bacon is up a little, and the market lively. It is difficult to keep a supply on hand. Some mismanagement on the rrail- roads somewhere, causes considerable delay in the reception of goods; and a consequent tardiness in the shipments of our merchants. Narrow Gauge engines. “Tho Gov. Bullock,” jr., and “TheH. L Kimball,” jr., two narrow gauge en gines for the Cherokee Railroad, passed through the city yesterday. We under stand that the portion of that road now being used will be changed to a narrow gauge. Tire Spa I glit Trial at Falrburn. Late Saturday evening the exciting trial of Daniel Spaight, at Fairborn, was concluded. It was a very tedious case, and the testimony was somewhat con flicting, which was patiently heard by the Judge aud Jury. Col. Geo. N. Lester of Cobb, aud CoL S. S. Fears of this city, greatly distinguished them selves in tlieir arguments—the fo.aie? for tho prosecution and tho latter for the defense. The Solicitor GenL, CoL M. M. Tidwell, and CoL Hugh Buchanan, also participated in tho discussion—all sus- themselves with marked ability. •?. C J°, S .° °* th® argument, Judge Wright delivered a clear chargo, and the Jury sooned returned a verdict of ‘ Not Guilty.” Boston, October 16.—The procession attending the laying of the corner-stone of the new postoffice building was im posing. Concord, October 16.—A short, sharp shock of an earthquake was felt here to day. San Francisco, October 16. — The An erica has arrived with a full caigo of teas. The United States steamer, Colorado, struck rock and lias gone down. Salt Lake City, October 16.—A storm here last Saturday night prostrated houses and delayed the trains. The wires are all down. Milwaukee, October 16.—Later ac counts confirm the previous disastrous reports of the loss of life. In the neigh borhood of Peshtigo the loss will reach 1,200. Fifteen per cent of those injured will die. The only escape was by water, where maddened cattle and horses drown ed many. The population of Peshtigo is two thousand,a third of whom perished. Baltimore, October 16.—The House of Deputies of the Episcopal Convention, adopted a report relative to the admiss ion of a new diocese within the limits of Pennsylvania. The union of the new diocese with the General Convention, takes effect from the 8th Proximo. It a 1 so adopted the HymnpL It is repor ted by the joint committee of the Gene ral Convention with tho amendment that this, when finally corrected by the com mittee there on, shall be free to be prin tea and published under the same con ditions now applied to printing and pub lishing the prayer book. Chicago, October 16.—A furious gale occuned hero Saturday, blowing fire brands in all directions and prostrating walls. Fortunately, it had previously rained. There is a steady and ample supply of food. Dead bodies are being continually found. Banks pay 15 per cent, at once, and will resume regular business on the 17th. R. H. Hurlbert, Comptroller of Cur rency, certifies to the solvency of the Chi cago National Bank. Advices from the Northwest grow hour ly worse. The banks will open for business to morrow. They will pay deposits in fulL All branches of trade are rapidly loca ting. "-.-■V There is wonderful activity in the South Division. Thousands are at work removing the debris, and erecting tem porary buildings, etc. Every laboring man, willing to work, finds plenty to do. Wages rre liberal. The action of the banks in resolving to resume immediately, inspires confi dence. The stories about wooden pavements burning up are exaggerations. The number of dead bodies discovered is less than a hundred and twenty-five. The large mass of persons supposed to have been lost are alive and well. New York, October 16.—Fifteen.In surance companies are in consultation here to-day. Miller, the State Snperin tendent, rddreised the meeting, saying that if any companies were compelled to go into liquidation, he would do his best to protect tho interest of insurers, but wanted frank and candid statements. President Oakley has just returned from Chicago, and says it is considered that the losses there are understated. The Chicago companies cannot pay more than ten or fifteen percent. He stated that all the New York com panies would pay their losses. The Pacific Insurance Company’s lia bilities at Chicago is $2,000,000. The Company goes into liquidation. Jay Cook, McCulloch & Co. have tele graphed a thousand pounds sterling to the Major of Ghicago. The house here had given $10,000 and the Philadelphia honsee $5,000—making $25,000 from this banking house and branches. A receiver has been appointed for the l’ulton Five Insurance Company, of Brooklyn, which a stockholder swore has t • ome insolvent, owing to the Chicago fire. The Phcenix Insurance Company, of Brooklyn, has adjusted its loss by the Chicago fire by a draft sent to Hart, As ton & Co. The Board of Directors of the Home Insurance Company, to-day, unanimous ly adopted a resolution to fill up its capi tal stock to two and a half millions at the earliest practicable moment. This will restore the Home’s assets to nearly, if not quite, four millions, after every cent or the Chicago losses shall have been paid. The Manhattan Company,. which has announced a suspension of business, ex pects to meet all its losses. Syracuse, October 16.—There were seven distinct fires here Saturday night —six being incendiary. The Centinental lost about a million, being much less than their immense sur plus and doubled capital and, after pay ing its losses, will have two millions as- i e;s for new business. Superintendent Miller will, to-morrow, issue a circular calling upon all the New York Fire Insurance Companies to report under oa‘"i their losses at Chicago and present their standing. This will be fol lowed by an examination of the separate companies. Tne Union Fire Insurance Company of San Francisco telegraphs its agents to pay its Chicago losses and continue busi ness. Potter Palmer telegraphs that all tho Fire Insurance Companies in which he is interested as special agent or partner, will pay in full at maturity. The Counsel for General Jordan who has been indicted for a violation of the neutrality laws, will move, to-morrow, for the discharge of his client, as no effort is being made by the government for a speedy triaL The rumor of the negotiation of a mortgage loan in Europe by the "Western Union Telegraph Company isunfounded. Hoxg Kong, October 11.—A great flood has occurred at Tientsin. Ten thousand sqr I'o miles axe under water. Terrible typhoons have occurred at-Hong Kong and along the coast. The city of Hong Kong is threatened with inunda tion. London, October 16.—The steamer City of Paris, from New York for Liver pool,'off Cape Clear broken down. Steam ers have gone to assist. There is a strong breeze, but no apprehension for the steamer’s safety. Two steamers collided in the Tyne, and five have been lost. Montreal, October 16.—A terrific gale, after a heavy rain, has. caused serious damage to life and property here.

The photo- ever graphic pictures cannot be surpassed any where. These deserve a special mention, and will have it during the progress of the Fair. There are also some superb oil paintings on exhibition, representing well-known scenes in Georgia. These, too, will have special mention in due time. The Ladies’ Department gives promise of success. Already there are on hand many admirable specimens of needle work; also many quilts and other articles of great beauty. The Sewing Machine men deserve great credit. They make the finest display ever made in the State, and will, doubt less, have a lively time of it. Some of them exhibit perfect beauties. Mr. Hitchcock, of the Atlanta Soap Factory, creates a sensation with his two thousand pound bar . of soap. It is large enough to wash the “grease” off a great many hands; and we should think some one would buy it.>- « Finney is out there with a superb dis play of carriages; but will take some more out to-day. He will do credit to himself and to Atlanta. There is a telegraph "office upon the ground, in charge of Mr. J. G. Courtney, which will be a great convenience to the public. One of the principal attractions is a fnll-rigged miniature steamship, which has been launched upon the lake. It is perfect beauty and apes the ways of larger vessels to a nicety. The grounds are in good conditibn, having been thoroughly cleaned off, and the buildings in good order and freshly white-washed. The officers of the association are the livest set of fellows in the world, and are working like badgers in their several de partments. They can always he found when wanted, and are always ready to answer questions or give information. To-day will probably bring a large crowd to the grounds, as the exhibition will be fairly opened, though many articles have yet to be placed for exhibi tion. Messrs. Echols & Wilson, in their buil ding, have a very large and fine collec tion of agricultural implements and ma chinery. Their display is a show of it self in their line. But we cannot yet attempt to particu larize. There are many things worthy of particular note; but as all were in some confusion yesterday," nothing could be regularly.and well written up. So far, tbe indications are good for a good exhibition and a large attendance. Trains will run out every half hour to day. Fare for the round trip, thirty cents. ; • , : . him a hearty shake of the hand, and slipped a ten dollar bill from him at the same time. The balance of the time was occupied in a family quarrel, in which a man by the name of Fleming, and one named Griggs, were accused of drunkenness and its train of evils.

Agricultural and Mcelmnlcal Association. Yesterday was the opening day of the Atlanta Fair, and possibly came np to expectations of most people; certainly up to the expectations of those who have been active in getting it up. The day was unfavorable—there being indications that rain might set in momentarily—con sequently very few persons went out as spectators. There were, during the day, over seven hundred exhibitions upon the ground but goods were not delivered very rapid ly until toward evening. Between three and five o’clock over two hundred entries were made. Only some fifteen or twenty head of horses are upon the ground; bnt some forty or fifty others are in the city, and will bejtaken out to-day. A few pens of hogs are out. We did not have time to visit the cattle stalls, and do not know what may be expected in this line. Floral Hall is rapidly filling up, and promises to be a most attractive de partment. The Fine Arts Department already pre sents a veiy beautiful appearance. The Mayor's Court. For Monday, yesterday was the dullest one the Mayor has witnessed in six months. Only eleven cases were upon the minutes, and all, or nearly so, were from the effects of too much red-eve. HANDSOME SXROZIER was a big, ugly, thick-lipped nigger. Why they called him handsome was a mystery to tho audience. Ho must have been christened when he was quite young, be cause the name don’t suit him now. He was up for whipping his wife, and in ex tenuation of liis crime, he said if he didn’t whip her he didn’t know who would. He got off with $10 and costs. JIM JOHNSON was a little disorderly and profane, and owned up. The Court charged him $5 to help pay the expenses of the Fa’>. J. M. ARNOLD was drunk, profane and disorderly. He and a chap named Tankersly commenced before day Sunday morning, and by sun up they had on a full head. The neigh bors, hearing a noise, looked out of the window and saw both gentlemen trying to hug a woman, who was drunk also. The crowd appeared to be very jolly, es pecially the woman, who was singing— woman, who mt&emdw xsvri ;d- .< “Farted as aU lovers part; She with a wronged and broken heart; But he rejoicing he is free, Bonnd like a captive from his chains; And wilfully believing she Hath found her liberty." This occurred about eight years ago, aud he had never lived with her since. Two sons-in-law, with their wives and several sistexs, were on hand, and it bothered the Court considerably to tell how the thing 3. But it was at least ended by his finding Fleming and Griggs each ten dol lars and costs. “Oh, how sweet when daylight close3. And the gas is flaring high, O’er the billiard cue to linger, Or go romping on the sly; And in Concert HaU so handy With the music in one’s car. Shake the dominoes up lively,' And put down schioei lager bier.” This is what John Miller thought Sat- oommeroiau cit yquotationsT urday. night, and acting upon the im pulse, he proceeded to buy a through ticket, with coupons attached. He had not gone more than half through his programme ere lie was overtaken and locked up. Ten and costs. Beautiful, beautiful girl ( thou art A vision of joy to a throbbing heart; A star sent down from tho world of bliss, And aU undimmed by the shades of this; A rainbow pictured by Love’s own sun On tbe clouds of being, beautiful one 1 This is what the Court said to Lou McCarthy, when Jonsen read out the charge’of being drunk. Lou had her hair nicely scrambled, her round comb gracefully holding each particular hair to its place. Her appearance threw the crowd into ecstacies, as it was the first piece of calico which had appeared on the scenes during the session. Lou owned up and got off with the usual ten and costs. HENRY WELLS has resolved frequently to quit drinking, on account of the difficulties he experi enced at home when under the influence of benzine. . He was cogitating the mat ter in his mind and was saying to him self : “Who’d drink at a bar. When with a bottle in his pocket near. He might trudge home, sit np all night And drink until he busted ? But that the dread of meeting our other half at tho door with lots of jaw Makes ns rather stay just where wo are, than face that jaw.

Haynie, J. F. Pincb, J. C. Haynie, Madison Finch, R. J. Fiucb, Henry Finch, Joseph Jones, J. E. Patrick, G. C. Haynie, Richard Lay. . John and.

The men said they were endeavoring to get the woman out of town, and scorn ed the insinuation that they were trying to hug her. The Court had not the slightest objections to their hugging the woman, but they must do it more pri vately, and fined each of the parties $10 and costs, which will be applied to ex tending the incorporation. DAVE WILLIAMS Yesterday, Judge Lawrence and Dis trict Attorney Irwin went to Jonesboro, to hold the regular monthly session of the Court there, bnt found no work to do. Not a single case was on hand. So they came back home to rest the remainder of the week. We congratulate them. Special Train. told his land lady that he would be d—d if he didn’t kill her with an axe if she didn’t put more sugar in his coffee, which frightened that lady awfully, and she jumped out the window for safety. It turned out that Dave fc was on his usual Sunday drunk, and his eyes looked like two slices of a blood beet. This sort of stuff the Mayor heartily despises, and gave David the privilege of paying ten dollars, or work the streets for fifteen days. A PENITENT old offender plead guilty to being drunk, and promised the Court to do so no more, if he would fine him lightly and keep his name outj of the paper. The Mayor agreed to his part, and with the hope of reforming the offender the reporter withholds his name this time. Office W. & A. Railroad, ) Atlanta, Ga., October 16, 1871.
