8. THE ATLANTA WEEKLY SUN. SUN-STROKES. The Radical party lias “been weighed ia the balance and found want ing” everything it can get its hands on. lalf a million dollars from the Phila delphia city treasury, one hundred and fifty thousand from the Pennsylvania State Treasury, and a quarter of a mil lion from the Freedman’s National Sav ings Bank, wan all that was reported last week. We have it upon the authority of the Buffalo Express, that “Alexander H. Stephens says he never yet has seen a single article of his republished in a sin gle Radical paper!” Probably he never has, for there are articles that are not worth republishing, even in Radical papers.—Courier-Journal. What then, Mr. Courier-Journal, comes of your prophecy, that Mr. Stephens’ ar ticle of the 19th September would be republished in every Radical sheet in the country ? Is this the way you get out of it ? Has a single Radical sheet yet republished it ? If so, which one? For the Atlanta San. THIS LOCK OF SILVER HAIR. EY H. L r. Put away from our sight that vacant chair! It vexes grief. Hide It away; And hido those garments of russet and gray— . Angels have robed her In light to-day. Ah, UtUo we dreamed to miss her thus! When she sat there day by day— Wo thought not how sad it would be for us To know that she was gone for ayo; But now with bcart-schc, and tear-dimmed eyes, We fold tho robes she used to wear, And our tenderest feelings now baptize One soft tress of her silver hair. Did we mingle grief in her cup of years. When she felt, liko a withered tre.-, AU useless beside tho young she had reared And nurtured from infancy? Did we lightly heed that sensitive heart, So shrinking and gentle with age ? Did wo blurr with her spirit's silent tears One lino of her life’s lost pago ? Alas 1 for the sorrowful memories That make our mourning hard to bear, And besprinkle so fast with burning tears This silken lock of silver hair. Her speech bore many an antique phrase That tickled much tho youthful car; And she reverenced many ancient ways That made her manners odd and queer; And we deemed that her soul went back in dreams To pleasant friends of long ago, When happy lights o'er all her face would pass, And lipB would move in whispers low. But angels, mayhap, in life’s eventide, Discoursed with her of blessings rare, And Heavon’s wonderful recompense For cares that bleached this silver hair. Ah! many times within this room, I ween, I’ll watch the sunlight on the wall, And hearken to tho children’s voices ring Blithe young Joy adown the open hall, And turning hungry eyes upon the spot, Sacred as her accustomed place, I’ll sadly feel of home how dear apart Went from us with her blessed face; And evermore, for her dear memory’s sake, A charm each aged form will bear, • And wondrous beauty lurk for me In every lock of silver hair.

The New American Readers.—The latest improvements in the art of induct ing a beginner into the knowledge of letters, appear to be signally illustrated in this new series of Readers, just pub lished by E. H. Butler & Co., Philadel phia. Really, “experience has by usage struck out many inventions.” It is now understood that “we should teach spell ing through reading, and not reading through spelling;" that “a child should be taught to call words at sight firsb,” and that “analysis into letters and sylla bles should be subsequent steps.” By the ingenious application of this impor tant secret in the contrivance of the young learner’s incipient lessons, and by combining the advantages also of the phonic system and object-teaching with the old ABO method of our ancient spelling books, the authors of these five successive readers have contributed an important gain to both the teachers and pupils of our primary schools. Success to an enterprise which so alleviates the labor and delights the faculties of the juvenile pupil as these elegant, new and original books seem well designed to do. >-♦-« STATE MATTERS. MAYOR'S COURT. ‘Tin and Cost” Triumphant! A man with beard 29} inches long is the boast of Dawson. The Cuthbert jail has only 19 inmates; but it is not claimed that these are all that should be in jail. Albany has had her first ball of the season. W. D. Lynch, of Muscogee county, has had his gin house burned. Mr. Geo. Pearce, of Harris county, committed suicide, last Wednesday, by cutting his throat. "Whisky. Mr. "Wing, of Our Saturday Eight, a paper published in Macon, had his hand so badly injured by his press the other night that three fingers had to be ampu tated. Hon. C. B. "Wooten has removed to Macon. Tho Athens negroes are thinning out their race. Tom. Wave killed Jonas Coch ran a few days ago. _ All Unsettled Item. When the city of Atlanta contracted with H. L Kimball to finish and fit up the Opera House building for the use of the Legislature for ten years, agreeing to pay him a yearly rental of $10,000, the city authorities advanced to him $30,000 in city bonds, to assist him in finishing the building in good style and ample time. This was a three years’ payment of rent in advance, in order to enable him to press the work vigorously. When the Legislature purchased the Opera House and the city paid its portion of the purchase money, it was a part of the agreement with Mr. Kimball that all that portion of the bonds which were so advanced tohini, not earned for rent up to the time of sale, amounting to about $19,000, should be returned to the city. These bonds have never been returned, though frequent application for the same has been made. Saturday came in as bright as a wed ding day. The city was rejoicing in its purity. The town clock, unembarrassed by a guilty conscience, rang out the honr of ten with a merrier peal, and aroused His Honor from dreams, wherein he saw the people mingling in harmony and goodjwill; no bickerings and strife as in days gone by. He sallied forth, radiant with the idea of reform. As we entered the Hall, where in former times (“ah! that was in the long ago!”) cnlprits were wont to be condemned, we beheld a joyful spectacle. The place looked “Like a banquet hall deserted.” There were Jonsen and Pat Fitzgib- bons locked in a|fond embrace, uttering not a word. All was solitary and silent. Not another being was to be seen, save His Honor, who, with fluttering pinions, hovered over the scene, his brow beam ing with a radiant halo of triumph over vice and immorality. The place was too ’sacred. We dared not enter; we only looked in and were overwhelmed with the spectacle. His Honor was victorious, his enemies were vanquished, and in his transfiguration his mighty ally “ten and costs,” had been embalmed the brightest jewel in his diadem of glory! To Break Dirt tills Morning. We are told that work on the railroad from Griffin to Madison will be com menced this morning. It is said that a force of three hundred hands or more from the Brunswick and Albany and oth er roads below, which Mr. Kimball has been building, have been brought up and will be put on the work; and that the intention is to have the ears running to Jackson in two months—so they say. That is a brilliant programme—hope it will be earned ont. A little boy nine years old, a member of the “Band of Hope,” was at a dinner party a short time ago, and those present wanted to test the strength of his prin ciples. A half sovereign was put into the bottom of a tumbler, which, was then half filled with ale. “Now,” said they, “if you’ll drink that you shall have what is at the bottom.” “No,” replied the noble little fellow, “nor a dozen half sovereign shall make me 1 reak my pledge.” “Surely the ‘root of the matter’ ” was in him. That noble child will make a noble man. Topeka, October 22.—In the United States District Court, to-day, three men were sentenced to five years imprison ment each, for stealing government mules at Fort Parker; one man for two years for personating a government official; one for ten years for robbing registered letters, and one for six months, under the En forcement Act, for stuffing ballot boxes. Being Useful. I will tell you, Allan, how a little child can be useful: He can pick up a pin from the floor. He can play with his little sister. He can tell mamma when baby cries. He can reach the stool that she may put her foot on it. He can hold the cotton when she winds it. He can teach, a little child his letters. And he can make his mother happy by being good. >-• -i 'Weston, the Walkist. The celebrated walkist was in our city on Saturday, and proceeded to Macon, where he has been engaged by the Mayor to exhibit his pedestrian ability, which has created so mnch astonishment all over the world. After walking at Macon, he will go to the Mississippi State Fair; from thence to the Fair in Savannah, and from thence to Cincinnati. Mr. Weston says he is mnch pleased with the South. He never before was south of the Ohio river, and had, as a great many persons in the North, in herited unfavorable views of the habits and manners of Southern people. He is agreeably surprised to find everybody in the South polite and civil, and the great masses of the people having the appearance of being intelligent, decent in their habits, and but few who appear to be depraved or ruffianly. as a renunciation of his authority and a reflection on liis supreme dignity. Quite a crowd assembled around the Philoso pher until the assembly of the Metho dist Conference, of which he was a lay delegate, called him to discuss his philo sophy before their tribunal. TELEGRAPH NEWS The Georgia State Fair 5,000 People in Attendance ! Macon Full of Visitors ! THE FAIR A GRAND SUCCESS ! [Special Dispatch to The Sun.] Macon, October 23.—About five thous and people were in attendance, to-day, upon the Fair of the Georgia State Agri cultural Society. The evening trains came in crowded with passengers, who came from every State of the Union to visit the Fair. Over one thousand entries have been made in the various departments.. A magnificent display is made in the Fine Art Hall, while the display of machinery is the largest ever seen in the State. Weston walked five miles and back wards half a mile, in fifty-nine minutes, during a heavy rain. A heavy storm came up about 4 o’clock and continued until S. At 10 o’clock the prospect is good for fair weather to-mor row. Though the number of visitors is very large and very many more are coming in by every train, Macon bas made arrange ments for the accommodation of all. The people are doing nobly und will make the Fair do ample credit to the State. Mayor Huff is working like a Trojan. He is al most ubiquitous, and is the inspiration of all around him. He is a host. Atlanta is represented by Geo. Sharp, Jr., the live jeweler, A. O. Ladd, the lightning rod man, and Professors B. F. Moore and A. £.

NEW YORK. A Modern. Peripatetic. Some evenings since while we were re flecting on the four great reforms since the beginning of the world, viz: Socrates’, "Mohammed’s, Luther’s and His Honor’s, we were startled by the words of the old Greek philosopher, “gjiotJd sauton.” After some search we fonnd upon the street comer a modem disciple of Socra tes, who, like that ancient preacher, was preaching to the wayfarers as they passed. He was habited in the costume of a poor Georgia farmer. In place of the sandals of his illustrious predecessor, monstrous brogans served as a forum and pro tector to his feet. His clothing had none of the graceful folds of the tunic, but there was that about his countenance that impressed one with his zeal in his new designs of reforming the world. We failed to learn all the tenets of his religion, and still fewer of the theories of his philosophy; but he was learned in the history of the world, its religion and philosophy, and discoursed with the elo quence of his forerunner. He denounced Masonry, and traced its origin to the “Reign of Terror,” when Reason was en throned as king, with the “square and compass” as the exponent of his reign.— Rollins, de Tocqueville, Gibbon and other historians were as familiar as house hold words. Badges of any and all secret societies he considered as an emblem of a league and conspiracy against Christ, Drowning of Young Pryor—Sad Pate of Brilliant Young Man—Liberal Church Contribution—JYor l h American Insurance Company—JVew York IVootls on Fire. New York, October 23.—The body found in East river, this morning, has been identified as that of young Pryor, son of Roger A. Pryor. It is not known in what manner he came to his death, and perhaps the mystery may never be cleared up. A peculiar sadness attaches to this severe domestic affliction in the bright promise of the manner and lovea ble character of this young man. He had been, but little more than a year ago, graduated at Princeton College with higher honors than had ever before been won in that institution by the most dis tinguished of its alumni. The interven ing period has been spent by him in a great part at Cambridge, England, where he won the prize in Mathematics, few months ago he returned to the United States and has since been prosecuting the study of law in the office of his father* The congregation of Rev. Dr. Chapin’i Church, yesterday, contributed $12,000 in cash, and a loan of $50,000 without interest, toward rebuilding St. Paul's Universalist Church, at Chicago. The North American Insurance Com pany intend to form a new company un der the old title, and continne business as heretofore. Rochester, October 23.—Extensive fires are raging in the swamps and woods in Monroe, Orleans, Niagara, Genessee, Wayne and Seneca counties. The wind is blowing a gale, and the smoke com pels the use of lamps here to-day. Rondeut, October 23.—Horatio Fawkes has been arrested on the charge of libel of Judge Schoonmaker. Damages are laid at $10,000. Fawkes gave bail for the amount. Auburn, October 23.—Three acres of woods, near this city, known as Ohesnut Ridge, is burned. MARYLAND. The Xpiscopul Council.

The Times, of this morning, states that the Emperor Napoleon has declared that the recent report from France, of Bonapartist conspiracies and an intended descent upon the coast of France, are en tirely without foundation. The Empe ror claims that he is the only legitimate sovereign of France, and advocates no violent measures for the restoration of his dynasty, but believes that his parti sans should urge the taking of the will of the people of France upon the settle ment of the government, by means of a plebiscite.

Were it not for my aversion to contro versy, I would here present what I ] lavo reason to believe—though I do not affirm that I know positively—was his plan 0 f the famous campaign of 1863, ending in the disaster to us at Gettysburg. I know enough, however, to express the convic tion that the plan of that campaign was not executed, and further, that°in my opinion, it never yet has been made pub lic, aud may not be until some other lead- ing actors in tho war on our side have passed away. Congressman J. B. Beck reports to the Louisville Ledger that the result of the Kukiux Committee’s investigation at Huntsville, was a complete vindication of the false charges made by her.ene mies. General Crawford, the United States District Attorney and Commis sioner, aud leading men of both parties concur that no State in the Union ex hibits a more satisfactory, law-abidin^ and peaceable condition. Even isolated cases of disorders were substantiated only by men who, for two dollars a day would swear to anything. The Cincinnati Enguirer says: “ On Wednesday afternoon, two Sisters of Charity, who had been in charge of tho one hundred orphans which arrived from Chicago in the morning, accompanied by two prominent citizens, called upon Mayor Davis, to obtain passes for the Sisters to return to the city of Chicago. The Mayor hesitated for a considerable time in granting their request; but, be ing urged by the gentlemen accompany ing the Sisters, he finally concluded to issue passes for their return. But to show the spirit animating our worthy Mayor, it is only necessary to give the reading of the pass, as follows: ‘Pass these two Catholics to Chicago.’ Being thus insulted, the Sisters and their es cort retired. The pass was shown at the Archbishop’s residence, when the afore said document was placed in an envelope and politely returned to Mayor Davis.” MAYOR’S COURT. Monday’s Melee. Legal ^btiurtismonls.

HICCUP was christened so because of his inability to utter any other articulate sound when found gazing upon the “myriad stars that span the heavenly vault.” For sneli mute idolatry in a Christian land he confessed his sins, and promised to join a Christian Church. MR. NASH had been so completely astounded at the tumult attending the Fair that he fell over senseless. He had not recovered when found by the police. He came into Court with a penitent heart; said it was very foolish of him; he would exer cise more self-control until John Robin son’s show came. He left, saying he was going home and would go to work right then. Jonsen then announced that THE MINSTRELS would commence their exhibition. Mary had promised to share Moses Lane’s lot, but after a few weeks of bill ing and cooing she tried to dispossess him of it entirely, when he waxed warm, slammed the door in her face, &c., &c., for all of which they paid $10 each as a remuneration for disturbance caused to their neighbors, who were peaceably sleeping.. JOE DOBBS was charged with discharging fire arms in the city limits.

YOUNG AND OLD LOVE was forcibly exemplified by the fond devotion of Mr. Johnson, (an African of some seventy summers) and his “old man’s darling” of some seventeen. Only four weeks of the honey-moon had passed, when she, wearied of the mono tony of married life and an old man’s dotage, sought relief in the pleasant re creation of “making his wool fly.” He sought to divert her from this childish amusement by lectures, and declared he hurl tried to “demonstrate with her at de hour of midnight, when everybody was asleep.” Even this eloquence failed to appease this childish propensity, and he sought redress from His Honor, who, in his magnanimity, honored them both with an introduction to his man, Friday, “ten and costs.” Executor’s Sale.
