-VfT THE ATLANTA SUN Kt«m The Dally flan of Jm< IS. KKTIVAL OF Til R UK >1 OtKAt'T. The great political irupoLie* and senti ments of ibo people of this country are strictly Democratic; and all compromise or pretermission of principle is not in accord with their realv.ews ami feelings. Tlu i triguings and .-cmiuiugb of politi cal wire-work- rn, the corruptions tied usurpations o: Corigrt-nsionul Lgiaiation, hat'e overaw.nl or smothered the tmr sentiments of the people, and they Lave not a-serted their principles with the persistent coldness and perseverance in 1 ate years as did our fathers. Tney seem to havesoxewhat forgotten that “Eteu- nal vigilance is the prioe of liberty,” and -appear to have lapsed into a sort of iu- d’flertnce us to the political driftings of the times. But, now and men, we see indio/tions that popular sentiment is bemg aiou*ed in various parts of the Conakry. and finding expression in pub lic meetings or through t. c press. We, theratfer?, believe that it is only necessary that press should ipeak out boldly to arrest the tendency to centralism, and thus revive the Democrati • sentiment of the country. The Jefferson (Tex.) Times, an able and influential paper of that State, says there is a general sentiment pervading —“tfce minds of reflecting men throughout the Stats that the Oeiuoorat'C party flight to be revived; not the party which resulted in the compromise which eiMnina'ed iti the election of Mr. f avi-, nor like the one at CorsicaDa, which b >l .ly inarched over to moderate Itadicalism. but the pure, undefiled De mo racy, which iu wetory and defeat has never tilled its colors. XUe people ot T> ins— the bon es! pure yeouiaury of the laud—are tired of com- promise, a- d th • tricks ot a homing, wiry yviiti- ci»n*, that an- always looiini,’ to pof'oy, and are Htraiil ot givinp of! u e to datu orous, designing TUB rv men,” 'Jhe people have too long confided the keeping of their liberties an 1 the interests cf the conatry gen,laliy, to speculative, trimming poll icians, instt.ad o: plac.ng .uein in the custody of honest men and statesmen, who w ould feel the weight of their responsibilities and act alone for th-. jieopie and tho country. Designing men, seeking power and position for the single purpose of self-aggrandizement, which means public plunder and official corruption,have used all the arts of dema- gopueismto beguile and deceive the peo ple from the paths of political virtue. The people, becoming indifferent to their rights and interests, have too long allow ed these designing men to usurp power v the abridgment of their liberties. Hence have resulted the infamies of reconstruction and ail its attendant evils, spreading lawlessness and disorder over the land, corrupting popular sentiment, 'tad dragging tne people to slavish ;-ub- mission to usurpations and corrupt gov- ment. Thus “the honest, pure yeoman ry of the 'and” have been beguiled into the meatus of ‘‘compromises,” and fallen victims to “the tricks of scheming, wiry politicians, that aie always looking to policy” in stead ot principle. In this way the Democratic sentiment of the country has been smothered and direct ed into the channel of semi-Radical it-m, as expressed in the guileful soph is'ry of “the progressive ideas of the present generation,” so flippantly quoted as or thodox Democracy by those calling themselves Democrats while they are anything else. But the great defeat of last year on this line, it is to be hoped, will have, and is having, we think, the effect of arous ing the great Democratic spirit ot the people, w ho will not again submit to or tolerate those “compromisi.s” of princi ple which lesulted so disastrously to them. Bet “the minds of reflecting men” of the whole country respond to “the minds ot reflecting men” ol' Texas, and the day is not far distant when the true ring of Demjcracy will be the signal of Democratic victory, and the preservation of the liberties of tho people. Now is the “seed time of ideas,” and the time to sow good seed. Let the trno piess and the honest people speak out ! OBOLFRi IK •ANHV’J 9AMTA K.T PKH5CAU IX ATLANTA. There is no longer a question of doubt that the cholera is iu Nashville, and pro ducing great oonsternatn u and a great stampede among her citizens.

If it r, qnired 600 men to clean up the city in the most thorough aud efficient manner, it should be done, snd done without delay. We understand that the Sanitary Commies on ap pointed by the Mayor will recommeud this course. Steps should at once be taken to have the public streets and highways, as well as private prim-sea throughout the whole city, put in proper sanitary condition. Sprinklinu carts should be improvised, lime and copperas dissolved in water, should be employed to disinfect the streets aud private premises. In this work we do not think action can be too prompt ly ta'.en. oaut on just now aud in ad vance may save the city in.m the terrible scourge which is uow afflicting our sister city of Nasuviile.

Killing of Hftiliaxd Klein tug—Trial In tlie Suyi rior Court* By the courtesy of a gentleman from Nashville, who left that city yesterday morning at 4 o’clock, and arrived here last night at ?1 o’clock, we were in pos session last night of the Union & Ameri can of the same date. From it we learn there were 18 interments on Sunday, and 25 on Monday, including one peni tentiary convict, making 43 for Sunday and Monday—20 whites and 23 negroes. Of the burials of Monday, five o f the number died from other diseases than Cholera or Cholera Morbus. It was the general opinion on Monday, says the Union American, to at the disease was abating, and that Tuesday’s list of inter ments would be smi.ll in comparison to those of the three previous days. Our informant further stated that the number given iu tbe Union #nd Ameri can does not include the paupers, but only those who were interred in-the cem etery. The gentleman referred io informs us that the stampede irom the city was in creasing, and that the railroad trains going in every direction were crowded with people fleeing from Nashville, the negroes as well as the whites. Our informant also stated to ns that the physicians pronounced the disease a sort of malarial fever, that will perhaps sweep the country as did the epizootic the p ist winter. fl® 1 * The New York Tribune says that “ most smokers like meerschaum pipes so well that they would also like to have them a little cheaper.” Next to bread and meat, we don’t see where a man’s ex penses could be more agreeably lessened than in the reduction of the price of his smoking and—beer.

This paper has olianted hands—Mr. F. S. Fitch having transferred his half interest iu tho property to Mr. Eugene F. Speer—and ’t wiu hereat er ee con ducted by Mr. J. D. Alexander aim Mr. Speer, who is said to be “every way com petent to fill the position of editor and publisher.” With all Mr. Fitch’s editorial idiosyn craciee, he is a live newspaper man, and always made the Star interesting. Until it attempted to advooate what was to bet but didn’t be, ‘‘A Young Man’s Party,” and from that sprung into the “new de parture” humbug, the Star's politics were pretty good. We regret, however, to lose our friend from the editorial fraternity, for he gave to the press much of its fun and merri ment. Peace be to Fitch’s quietude. Jfe^A few days ago there Were “rumors oi war” with Mexico.

The trial of Thomas G. Junes, for tbe murder of Hilliard Fleming, occupied tne whole day jesterday. A lurge num ber of witutsses were exanfined, tbe greater part of whom were for the de fense. The State’s witnesses proved tbe circumstances attending the commission of tne deed, the pnucipal witness be- irg Boyd Fleming, brother of the de ceased. He stated that on the 2i day of June, his biother came home and called him out, as he eatd. “to get satisfaction ot some parties.” He got up and came out. As they passed down Peters’ street his brother pulled a pale off of a fence. When they got uearCastleberry ’shill they found JoDesand O’Shields. He spoke to them. His brother bad t.een drink ing, and he struck Jones with the pale, the policemen both ran across tbe street tiring at him and his brother. Thinks O’Shieids fired the first shot. They both fired. The fonrth shot struck Hilliard. Mr. Cook, also a witness for the State, swore he saw Hilliard Fh-ming on the night of the killing a little before 11 o’clock. H-. was intoxicated. When he saw him he was abusing the policemen and threa'ening “to kick” one of them. Tne policemen were trying to get him to go home. Witness thought that the boisterous talking was in fun. He got Fleming to go towar s bis h me with him. This was the last seen of him. He he ard him coming back later, whooping very loud. O’Shielns introduced for the defense testified, that when Fleming struck Jones he and Jones ran off across the street. Fleming iollo we.l J ones and shot at Jones first. Jones returned the fire, the second shot taking effect. A good many testified as to the character of Fleming, and represent him to be a des perate fellow. All of the testimony was concluded at 6 o’clock, when the Court adjourned for an hour and a half. The arguments were commenced at night at the re-assembling of the Coart and were continued till u late hour. T. P. Westmoreland and Col. S. B Soencer, of the defense, made their ar gument m the case before adjournment. Gen. Gartrell and the Solicitor General will conclude this morning. The court met at 81 o’clock yesterday, Judge Hopkins presiding. The morning session was occupied iu hearing the arguments of General Gar trell in Dehalf of Thomas Jones, police man, accused of the murder of Hilliard Fleming, and Oapt. J. T. Glenn for the State. The oounsel concluded a little after 12 o’clock, and Judge Hopkins delivered bis charge to the jury, submit ting the case to them at five minutes be fore one o’olock, when the court took a recess till two o’clock. Immediately upon ihe convening of the court the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty, and the prisoner was discharged. The Lecture at the Representlve Hall A fair audience, though not large, was present to hear the lecture of Bishop Haven, of the Northern Methodist Gnurch. at the Representative Hall last night. We noticed a considerable sprink ling ot the African element haviEg seats on the floor. The lecture was a plain description of the past, present and fu ture of Mexico. The lecturer dwelt con siderably on the oppression of the Cath olic Church for three nnndred years past. He now sees some light dawning upon the country from the introduction of Protestant Missionaries and Bibles, and the lulure will be marked, he thinks, with a general diffusion of American ideas on religion aud politics. Shall we have a Fair at Oglethorpe Park this Fall.—This question was dis cussed upon the streets yesterday by a number of our 1 ‘adiug citizens and mer chants. It is requested by a number of tne Stockholders and Directors -n the Atlanta Agricultural and Industrial Asso ciation that a> full meeting of the mem tiers of that Association, aud also a full representation from the Atlanta Pomolo- gical Society, and from the Manufac turers’ Association, meet at the reading room of the Kimball House on Thursday evening at 8 o’clock, to discuss the prac ticability of holding a District Fair.

He says that it is neither. He also stated that some years ago a physician, in one of the Northern cities, pnblisbed that sulphur was a spe cific for obolera, and actually cored sev eral cat.es with tbe remedy he represented as sulphur, which created a great sensa tion. Numbers tried sulphur for the dis ease without avail, and others called in physicians requiring the treatment to be sulphur, from which they died. Tbe physicians who tried it failed in every in stance. Finally, the remedy of the sul phur doctor was tested, and found to contain a quantity of morphine mixed with sulphur. The same gentleman also stated to us that the back yards of stores and private premises iu tne city, are in tbe worst possible condition. Owing to a little difference ot opin ion between the proprietor oi the News and the Typographical Union o’ Savannah, in regard to the inter nal management of the affairs of the office, that paper appeared on Mon day with a great deal less than its usual amount of reading matter. This circumstance forces Harris, the high-toned assistant editor, to repair to the composing room to gouge out of the “ case” his sparkling wit, which he has heretofore prepared on gilt-edged paper and with purple ink. As the proprietor, the chief editor, and the assistant editor, are all typos, we suppose the News will not be sus pended. Marietta, June ", 1871 l< Editors Sun:—One of the most pleasant things to note in Cobb | County is the apparent prosperity of the agriculturists, which is indicated by the appearance of thrift about ev ery thiug appertaining to the farm generally. The fences are in good or der, the farm buildings are substan tial, and the stock in good keeping;! wheat is thin but looking well; corn) crops are really promising. 0: course, it is too early to say anything about cotton, though 1 fear some are over cropped with that; for it is worse than folly to plant more cotton than can be properly cultivated. It is a jealous plant and will not bear ne glect. The oat crop, if seasons ate favorable, will be large. We were particularly phased to note the growing interest manifested in the cultivation of clover aud the grasses. We saw upon the excellent tarm of Gen. PLillius, about do acres in clover that would be considered fine in Kentucky. It was just ready to cut, and will yield not less than two tons per acre. J ust th ink ol that, you cotton men; $80 per acre for bay, and the whole cost of produc tion, including the preparation of the land, cost of seed, sowing and har vesting, will not exceed, at a very lib eral estimate, $10 per acre! Gen. Phillips has growing in one field upon the same kind of soil, oats, wheat, corn, cotton, clover aud herds grass, thus practically illustrating the great adaptability of the s*dlof Cobh county to diversified crops. It has been rather a mooted ques tion among grass men, whethc clover should lie arr.i'Ved in, brushed in, > t ^ simply sown upon t p ot ihe soil,io order io stun re a stand ; ami our at- tention was especially directed by . Gen. P. to ms stand of young c over BJ sown with oats, and we found upon examination tha- ttie stand was a.-1 mosi perfect;the seed was sown ordi-PW uarily thick aud thoroughly liar- Hr rowed in. The ground was thus le. M level and in fine condition for th de mower, and a tine stand of clover st- jfoi cured. . M In a somewhat extended trip through the interior of this county yj, we noticed that almost all the open g^f lands are in cultivation in something! Ike ad- I iat aoi *■ t JHiscellaneoa* Items.
