TJJE A TLANTA S1J,N Kroni Thr Dm lly «na of Jmor II IBKPK»lll)ICM «»K THE fltKM'H Kkl'l'ULIC. The folluaiug .-ketch of the antece dent*, education, life and service* of die new President of the French Republic may be read with interest at the preeent time. Marie Edtue Patrice Matinee MacMa- hon is a d^ceu ant of an anoint Irish family, their paternal conn-non from . the monarch* 01 that country u far oaek aa the year 1014. I'Iimdiid tfieir 6»vo tion to the Caihollo religion they were deprived of ineir ivies t<o tiobilny. In the year 1760. two brothers, Man rue unit John,emigrate! to France, -tud there Mt tied. Maurice bad previously served un der Prince Ed ward of Scotland, and on his arrival in France was appointed to a cap taincy in the Freiu-n nervine. John was CWated Marquin d’Eqnily ami became in possession thereby of large estates. The race of the MucMahoua was well known for the lighting qualities of ite membora. Their n ones me frequently fonnd in French military works, showing that they participated in the disasters as well as the glories which attended the French arms. At Waterloo, one of the brothers commanded the Third Cmras aiers, the dower of Napolbon’s army, and in a single charge on the English lines, that regiment, from its full complement, nearly two thousand men, only eight e~ caped unharmed. One hundred and one were wounded and the remainder perished in the oondict. The present President of the Republic of France is the son of John, and is now prob.ib.y in his sixty-seventh year. H was educated at the Military School of St Cjr, from whence he entered the sniff corps, took part in the expedition to Al giers, and afterwards acted as aid-ue- eamp to General Arcbard, at the siege of Antwerp. In 1833, he returned to Al giers, where he distinguished himself by his ability and undaunted courage, for which he was promoted to a captaincy. In 1845, he became a colonel, and briga dier-general in 1848, when he was made governor of the Algerian provinces ot Constantine and Oran. In 1852, he became General of Divis ion; and, in 1855, succeeded Camobert as commander of an infantry division in Marshal Boquets’ corps in the Crimea. There he distinguished himself by his personal valor in the great and success ful assault of the Malakoff, establishing himself in that stronghold and holding it in spite of the repeated and prolonged efforts of the Russians to iislodge him. For this service the Emperor conferred on him the Cross of the Legion of Honor, and at the expiration of the war he was made Senator. Again, in 1857, he was ordered to Af rica, where he commanded an expedition against the Kabyies, and was afterwards appointed Commander-in-Chief of the sea and land forces m Algeria. In 1859, when the Italian war broke out, he was appointed commander o> the second corps of the army of the Alps, and was by Napoleon’s side throughout that campaign. His services at the bat tle of Magenta were so important that the Emperor created him on the field Duke of Magenta and Marshal of France Iu 1801, he represented France at the coronation of the King of Prussia. Iu 18G4, he was appointed Governor-General of-Aigeria, from whence he was recalled ou the breaking out of the war with Prussia to take command of the first army corps of the Rhine. The history of his military career irom that event, ao recent, will be remembered by every in telligent reader of Thk Sun as a succes sion of disaster. Veisenberg and Woerth shattered his hopes ot entering German territory. He fell with the Em pire, and it was only after the establish ment of the Thiers Government and the outbreak of the war against the Paris Commune that he again came into notioe. When the Commune had taken posses sion of Paris and began its excesses, Mac Mali >n was invested with supreme com mand of the army of Versailles, and by bis energetic efforts the Commune was effectually crushed out of existence. No man ever rose more rapidly or ob. tained higher positions of honor in the French service than MacMahon. He is ot undoubted courage; often rash in his daring uud impetuous iu his movements; but is not credited with great executive abilities. He was much devoted to the late Emperor, by whom he was so often honored; andj judging Irom his past record and the nnanimou? vote of the Right tor his election to the Presidency, all evidently tend- c r re-establishment of the Monarchy in France. : H-W-a .

Price only o 'e ywtr, A Model Piece of Mechanism.—Yes terday,'bi iuviiation of Mr. James Mil ler, we vi-ited t e fit'.mg and repair de partment of toe Howe Machine Com- ■j, to witness the first running of the neatest little cteam engine it has been our lot to see. It is a beaatifol piece of inrchunism, and as a whole, in construc tion, unlike ail other engines we heve ever examined, while it partakes in part of the moat valuable points of he latest improved lull sizeu engines. We do not pret-nd to give an exact description of ttiiH neat little article, which shonld be seen to be apprt dated and properly un derstood. It is thirty inches iu length by eignt inches in width, and weighs about one bunUr-d pounds; cylinder 3x5 inches,giving two-borst power,and makes two hundred revolutions per minute,with hve pounds ol steam. The boiler is an upright pattern, twenty inches iu diameter, three feet nine inches high, sixteen-inch fire-box, and contains tmrteen flues, with a capacity of twenty- five gallons o> water, and capable oi tearing two hundred and fifty pounds of steam pressure, and has all the other ap pliances of tli- largest and latest im proved boiltrs. It is uue to uiirit and genius to say t jut this petite «« plus ultra engine was entirely .ashamed and built by Mr. James Miller and Mr. Thomas J. Harper, the Agent and Adjuster of the company, and should be exhibited as a m> del of fine workmanship at every mechumftil exhi bition ’h the country. The painting and ornamental work by Mr. William L. Jams, another employe of the company, evinces a rare taste in the artist for his profession. It is a beautiful specimen of the art, and for ueathess of design ana fine finish, we think has never oeen equaled in this city. It was first intend d by Mr. Miller that the engine should be christened “The Elias Howe,” but his co-laborers, know ing him to be absent on business from this city, performed the ceremony tnem- selves, and dubbed their l'ttlo bantling James Miller;” and for weight and size, we will bet our best plug hat that it will run faster, has a greater amount ot power, will do more work and make less noise than any other engiue in the State of Georgia.

MtrmoKB t mm Saji Francisco, Jane 9.— Dispatches from Boy Ip’s Cam#,. Aojfd yesterday, re late the particulars of an atrocious mas sacre of Modoc prisoners, supposed to have been perpetrated by Oregon volun teer* Saturday morn.ng, James Fair- child and about a dozen other men left Fairchild’s rancho, on Cotton wood creek, with seventeen Modoc captives, includ ing women and children, and Shseknasty Jim, Bogus Charley, iabee Jack, Pony and Little John The Indians were in, wagons drawn by foar ma’es. At the crossing of Lost river the party en countered a body of Oregon vol unteers under tLe command of Captain Hiser. The soldiers gathered atiout the wagon and questioned Fair- child. The latter told them the ludians were all Hot Creeks except, Little John, and that there were no’charges against them. Fairchild undertook to push ou to Boyles’ camp, aud the volunteers re tired to their camp near Crawley’s. On the road Fairchild noticed two men ahead, ridiug to Rocky Point, as if to in tercept him. When the team appioaebed the two men, one of them presented a gun at Fairchild, saying: “Get down, you old whirehaeded .” “By what author ity,’ sain Faircnild. “By mine, I am go ing to kill Indians and yon,too,” was the reoiy. The leader caught hold ot the mules and unhitched them, cutt.ng the harness. Fairchld. clinging to the lines, leaped to the ground. The poor wretches implored fur mercy, imi begged Fairchild to save them Tne warriors were unarm ed and k u ew resistance was useless. They were the coolest in the party, although fearing inevr «ble death. The women aud children shri« ked, greaned and wept pit eously. Faircnild had nothing but a small pistil., and six inches from his ear was the muzzle of a needle gun. Heuaysteuis came into Ins eyes, anu he mingled his entreaties with those of tne Modocc, iu hopes mat the inussa ere might be avoided. He adds that it was a terrible cene, “one I never shub torget, and suudder wnen I think ol what I saw aud heard. The tear'ul voices of those women and children still ring in tny ears; but theeuwari.ly hounus were not to he backed.” A suot aud Lit tle JoUn lay dead in ilm wagon, with a bullet iu his brain. The mules dashed away with Fairchild, who became eu- tangled in the lines. Five more shots were tired in ru[)id succe.-sion, by which Tahee Jack, Pony and Mooch were killed, and Little Jouu’s squaw was IrighMully wounded iu the shoulder. Away ahead on the road in the direction of Boyle’s camp, a cloud of dust was perceived, in- dicuiing Mie approach ot a team. The murderers espied the dust, and shortly afterwards were riding rapiuly away. Sergeant Murphy, of bat.ery G, Fourth Artillery, with ten men and a eamster, came up to the sceDe of the massacre. The sergeant took charge of affairs, and remained with his men on the ground. Fairchild, -i teamster and the wounded squaw with her two childreu catue in at 2 o’clock this morning. It is generally supposed the guilty parties were Oregon volunteers. Fair- child is of that opinion himself. Tne warriors killed were not charged with murder. Those who know them best say they have only been paiticipators in open fights. Every one here condcmus the affair as atrocious and without excuse There is no doubt but the murders were carried out upon carefully arranged plain as Fairchild noticed the horsemen on the road ahead and behind when the shots were fired. Had John Fairchild, instead of James Fairchild been present, another murder might have been add to the list, as Oregonians are bitter in their hatred to John Y i. child. The old man and the other Californians, as well as the Warm Spring Indians, have only a few weeks longer to serve. Sergt. Clinton is fast failing. SECOND DISPATCH.

Quite early in the morning large crowds from the surrounding country could be seen pouring in from every street The town presented a holiday appearance. Over three thonsaud peopl* weie present. At a quarter past twelve the guard numbering sixty-five meu, formed a p^! cession on the square, and marched to the jail. The coffin was taken through the streets in a wagon, at the Lead of th a guard. On arriving at the jaii the com mand of halt was given, and the prisoner waB led fi rth irom bis cell, with u rope around his ueck, shroud on aud arms tied Jchind.

Tile lliolcrr. and Tlrntl) Suggcsiio»s, A Nashville physician famishes the Banner with tne following precautionary suggestions against cholera, which we reprint for the benefit of our citizens : Choltra is general’y a preventable dis ease, and in the early stages can he ar- restidif the habits be good. Study, therefore, temperance in eating and dnnkiug. Don’t believe that alcoholic stimulants are useful iu guaiding you against au attack. Let ihe food be nu tritious and keep the digestive organs iu a heahhful condition. Use no stale or uncooked vegetables. Let your meat be fresh and your vegetables oe well cooked and all Iruits be fresh and ripe. Gleauhuess of tne body is of the first consideration. Keep the skin iu a healthy state by bathing die whole bouy with a tree use ot map. Cold bathing is best used iu the n ormngasyuu get up, never just before going to bed. Cleanliness in your homes of equal importance. Let your apartments be dry—nev. r damp. Suffer uo decayed vegetables or stiuumt. water to remain in ycur cellars or yards. Any disagreea ble smell horn privies, cesspools or sinks is proof ol their uiihealihmess. Re move th-m by necessary repairs, lime, chloride oi lime, or whitewashing. Yen- tilate well y >ur houses and apartments. Expose your bed to the air and sun. Avoid excessive fatigue. Keep regular hours iu eating and sleeping, and wear flannel next to the skin. A good plan is, if the bowel \ are at all disordered, to w ear a b oad band of flannel pi flannel belly-band) around the body, reaching from the nips to the ribs. Maintain the natural temperature of the body by suf- fici< nt clothing; especially keep tue feet warm. Never, when heated, sit on the ground or stone seat% or sleep under an open window. If exposed to wet, change your boots and clothes as soon aa possi ble. Take no purgative medicine, ex cept by direction of a physician. The same physician states that cholera is almost invariably preceded by a pain less diarrhoea, and this is in all cases to be promptly treated. We give further suggestions from him in regard to treat ment: When diarrhoea is present, go to bed and maintain a position on tne bacs; use abundance of blankets, and send for a physician; stay in Ded until yon are well; don’t consider yourself well until you have had a natural movement from the bowels; abstain from all drink; apply mustard plasters to the bowels. Id the absence of a physician, the adult can take ten drops of laudanum and 10 drops of spirits of camphor. A child of tea yeais may take five drops of lauda num and five drops of camphor. A child of five years may take three drops of laudanum and three of spirits of cam phor, and these drops may be repeated every twenty minutes, bo loBg as diar- rLcea, or pain, or vomiting continues.
