NVe publish the advertisement of the “ H. D. Terrell Combination Plow,” else¬ where in this paper, and take pleasure in directing the reader’s attentiou to the same, This plow is certainly one of the best we have ever seen. It is made in sec tions, and can be changed from a plain scooter to a turning shovel, sweep or scrape in a moment’s time, and at no ex¬ pense- The plow is made with a detach¬ able steel point, which costs no more than the blacksmith will charge to sharpen the ordinary plow when dull. These points can be kept on hand and are always ready for use, without going to the blacksmith shop. The point constitutes less than one-third of the plow- When it wears out, it can be thrown away, and a new one put on, when the plow is as good’as a new one. The point being made of steel, will last much longer than an ordinary iron plow. It costs no more than it does to sharpen the plow, while it is al¬ ways at hand and ready for use, The same body or plow hoe, will answer for all purposes, and can be converted into a shoNel, scooter, sweep or scrapie, by the attachment of the necessary wings, &c., which can be done in a moment by any ordinary plow-boy. The plow works well and is a continual saving to the farmer all the year round in going to the blacksmith shop and in having so many kinds of plows made. It exactly ‘‘ fills the will lougfelt want" with the farmers, and very soon be in use all over this country. Letts? list.

On last Monday night one of the boldest and most desperate attempts at robbery occurred in Atlanta, ever before attempted in this country. And why it has never been attempted before is a little singular, because the same opportunity has often been presented. It was the stealing of an engine and pay ear, and au attempt to rob the same. It seems the pay car of the Richmond and Dan ville railroad arrived in Atlanta oa Monday ev¬ ening for the purpose of paying off the various employes of the road in that city. The car had left Richmond about the 1st of July, with about $100,000 on board, and the paymaster had been paying it out all along the road, until he reached Atlanta. There were two safes on board the car, iu which the money was securely kept. It appears to have been known that there were about $30,000 in the safes on Monday night. This induced the robbers to lay a plan for stealing it. The pay car and a supply car were left standing on the “union track" just be¬ side the Markham house, and but a few steps from the east end of the union passenger depot. The paymaster lives in the pay car. lie eats, sleeps, and hashis office in it. lie keeps a manser¬ vant in the cat to do the cooking, &c. They were the sole occupants of the car on Monday night. They had retired to rest about to o’clock, having locked up securely, and put out the lights. Be¬ fore doing so, however, the paymaster had given orders for his car to follow' the morning train out at 5.30, Tuesday morning. While all this was going on in the pay car, and thepaymasterand his faithful servant were sleeping sweetly and unconsciously, the evil-hearted rob¬ bers were at work to accomplish their scheme. A construction train of the Georgia railroad had reached Atlanta late Monday evening, and was run upon the side-track near the coal schute.— The engineer had “banked'’ his fire in the en¬ gine, and the water was still hot in the boiler. The construction train carries “bunk” cars for the hands to sleep in, and at 10 o’clock the en¬ gineer and all the laborers had retired *0 their respective bunks and were sleeping soundly. From the point where the construction train was standing on the Georgia road to the union passenger depot, a distance of 400 or 500 yards, there are at least a dozen tracks, which belong to the Georgia and Richmond and Danville roads. They are for shifting purposes, and are operated by various switches. The plan of the robbers was to steal the afore¬ said construction engine, change all the switches necessary to enable them to run it up to where the pay car was standing, attach the engine to it, pull it away into the country, and rob it of its valuable tieasure. This part of their plan was executed wilhout an accident It being at a late hour in the night, they had 110 trouble in boarding the engines, which they found had plenty of steam to move it quietly away. They then ran up to the pay car, attached the engine to it, and pulled out for the country. The switches being changed to connect with the Georgia track, and they forgetting or neglecting to change them so as to connect with the Rich¬ mond and Danville track, they inn down the Georgia .roaJ, instead of 0,1*! on the Richmond and Danville as they evidently intends j to do. When the -pay car began to move rapidly, the paymaster was awakened by the noise, and at first supposed it was liisown fugiueer shifting the car to the Richmond an ! Danville track, prepar¬ atory to leaving. As it continued to move ahead at an increasing ru’e of speed, his suspicions were aroused that something was wrong, and he sprang up to investigat Upon looking out of the window he soon discovered that the car was passing through the country, and was being drawn along at a very high rate of sjieeJ. He was then fully satisfied that something was wrong. He quickly calleJ up his servant and di¬ rected him to make a light, while he hastily dress¬ ed himself. Another glance out of the window showed him that the car was running through a strange country. He then applie 1 the brakes, which he turned on with ail his strength, and the car immediately commenced slacking its speed. In a little while it stopped still on the track — The supply car was between the pay car and the engine. The paymaster climbed on top of the supply car and walked to the front end, next to the engine. He then saw the robbers jump out of the cab. He demanded of them to know what all this meant, lie was answered by a shot from a pistol in the hands of one of the robbers. Five shots were fired at him, but none of them struck him. He then hurriedly descended into the pay car and locked the door. The situition was now at its most critical moment, and he fully expected to be attacked in the car by the furious gang of outlaws. He awaited the onslaught with truly heroic patience, but it did not come. The moments passed like hours, and yet the robbers hesitated. They were evidently holding a coun¬ cil of war, and did not fully know how to proceed. At last they approached the car, called the pay¬ master by name, and asked to see him. He gave them no answer, and they fell back for another council. The paymaster held the fort, and was still master of the situation. He awaited the attack with patience, and still the car was not assaulted The robbers evidently lacked the courage to face the cold lead in the hands of the brave occupant of the car. Time rolled on and still the storming of the treasure castle was not made. The robbers were evidently at a loss to know what to do. At last they blew several loud blasts of the whistle, as if to signal to their confederates to come on to their assistance, as well as to strike terror into the hearts of the paymaster and his servant. The situation was new desperate on both sides. The robbers knew they must act promptly, and the paymaster knew he must thwart them, or all was lost. He !>eg eed his servant to leave the car, and seek assis tance in the country. The servant was too weak, and refused to go for succor. The paymaster then proposed to the servant if he woutdrenr. in in the car and guard the brake, he [the paymas. terl would leave the car by the rear door, and en deavor to procure assistance. The negro agreed, as there , was , but , one , pistol . m the car, he . was given that and ordered to guard the brake at all harzards. The paymaster then slipped from the car, by- the back door. He looked about him cautiously and listened. He could see nor hear no one. Without .... , , a weapon , . d U " 1SC ’ hc brave paymaster started offthrough the darkness, in a strange land, not knowing whither he went, in search of friends and help. He soon-found some negro cabins, but the inmates refused to assist him. Hurrying on, he soon reached an other house. It was the residence of a Mr. Swann. Here he found friends, and the neces sary help. , , Mr. ^ Swann and . hie his * two _ 0 sons o volun- . teered to go with him to the rescue of his car and treasure. One of the young men went for other neighbors and soon a brave little volun teer company was —»“ ,he " d “ ger. But the robbers were busy. They attempted to enter the pay car, after the paymaster left, but the negro was now master of the situation, and was more brave than ever. When one of the robbers mounted the platform, and approach¬ ed the brake, the negro leveled his pistol, and ordered him to halt. The robber hesitated.— The old man’s courage was now fully aroused, and he ordered the man back, or he would send a leaden messenger to meet him at the brake. The cowed roblier backed, and the victory of Lee at CVancellorsville anil Kre.lericksbi.rgover the haughty Hooker, did not till the breast of the victor with more manly pride than that which swelled the palpitating bosom of the feeble old darkey. The robbers then resorted to strategy. They first attempted to move the train away, but the brakes held their grip too firmly for the engine to move it. They then cut the engine loose and run it down the road towards Decatur, which was only one mile away. The engine was reversed and ran track against the pay car w ith force enough to damage it considerably, but did not break it open. The robbers e: t red til' pay car, and found that the paymaster was gone. They knew he had gone for assistance, and that they would not have time to break the safe open be¬ fore he would return. They then threw off the brake, and started the train back towards Atlan¬ ta. Alter running back about one mile, they abandoned the elTort at robbery and fled. In the meantime the paymaster, with his arm¬ ed assistants, was returning to the rescue, and, hearing the train moving back towards Atlanta, hurried after it, with all their might. They ov ertook it just as the robbers fled into the woods and ma le their escape. The money w as all safe. The car was now near the chemical works where there was a telephone to Atlanta, and the party were soon in communication with the chief of police. Chief Connolly hurried to the scene of the outrage, and -.as put in possession of ail the facts of the case, and in less than an hour was in pursuit of the robbers. One man was arrested on the down Georgia train soon af¬ ter it passe 1 Decatur. Another, a negro, was arrested in Atlanta during the day, and the po. lice are still on the track of others. The robbery was -me of the most daring ere attempted in Georgia, and would have uido.bj eily been successful, had the bold, bad men, have hud the bravery and courage to have at tacked the pay car when it was stopped on the track, five miles from Atlanta. Had they been successful, they would have got $ 3 :) 000 for their reckless during. Wanting in leadership and courage, caused their failure, The Richmond and Danville company will spare no expense to get all who were engaged in me affair, and bring them to justice.
