The Atlanta Intelligencer and Exami
ner—Addreta to the People.
It has been, for some time, the earnest de
sire of a large portion of onr friends, that
the two Democratic papers published in the
city of Atlanta, should be united together—
^Vieldmg to these repeated solicitations, the
NtnjIt-rsigBed Proprietors of the Atlanta In-
tejligehcer and Atlanta Examiner, respect
fully announce that this union has been con
summated, thewishesofmutnal friends grati
fied, and the energies that hare heretofore
been divided, will hereafter be concentrated
ind consolidated in the'maintenance of sur
well known principles.
This arrangement will involve the necessity
of an enlargement of the size of our paper, and
an entire change of its typographical appear
ance. We shall, at as early day us practica
ble, obtain oew and beautiful type, io order to
complete the improvement
It is the purpose of the Proprietors to spare
no expense or labor, in presenting to the
public a newspaper commemorate, in every
-respect, with the social, political, and commer
cial wants of the country. The point of pub
lication, with its unrivaled advantages of ac
cessibility and diffuwioc, must render it tbe
most eligible for obtaining information by all
dames in this section of the State. Tbe ear
liest news, by mail and telegraph, can be ob
tained here, and distributed more speedily in
every direction, by our Baiiroad facilities, than
from any other point in tbe State.
The nnioo of the large subscription lists of
the two papers, must make our journal one of
tbe most desirable as one of advertisement, in
tbe State, and tbe patftme who have so libe
rally encouraged us heretofore, will now find,
under the change, an enhanced advantage, and
tbe united energies bestowed on the advance
ment of its interests will also redound to theirs,
while by the Union of the papets and the en
largement by tbe contribution of more edito
rial labor, onr readers will find themselves
more than compensated by tbe change!
Large as the circulation of our paper now is,
it ought, try the countenance and encourage
ment of our Demqcmtic friends to be increased
so as to reach a more extended Geld of oseful-
nees, and counteract the dangerous dogmas of
both Northern and Southern opponents of tbe
principles of tbe Democratic party.
. In conclusion,we take ibis auspicious occa
sion to* renew onr pledge of fealty and devotion
to the well known principles, which it hasloog
been our pleasure is well as our pride, to ad
vocate.

ground were occupied by hundreds of the indc-

who to were addrers it. In every counlenamv

who were to be the speakers ; Imt, it: a short
time, a committee who iiad been appointed for
the purjirt* were seen advancing to the stall il
escorting the Hon Robert Toombs, Georgia’s
distinguished ami patriotic Senator ; the lion.
A. It. Wright, tlie democratic candidate fir
Cougrees in tbe fifth district ; Col. O. A
Lochrane, of Macon, the young, but eloquent
advocate of the Constitutional rights of tin'
South ; and the Hon. K. YV. Chastain, for
four years the faithful representative of that
dwtricl in the Congress of the United States ;
and of whom we will add. from our pc sona;
k nowledge, no man as a representative of the
personal interests of his constituency, ever
strove harder, ami succeeded better a! YY'ash-
ington than he.
Tbe President ol tlie day, haviug announced
tlie Vice Presidents, who. with the s(leakers,
took their seats upon the stand, then announced
the order of speaking—to-wit, Judge Brown
to open the meeting—Col. O. A. Lochrane to
followju an hour; and Col. Toombs tooccupy
tbe remaining time nntd dinner after which,
Judge Wright woald resume, ami Col. Chas
tain make the closing speech. Judge Brown
however, rose and stated that he declined to
address the meeting—be was at home, he said ;
bad already spoken twice in Cauton; and it
was his desire, os he knew it was tbe people's
there assembled, to hear thedistinguished gentle
men from a distance. It devolved then upon Col.
LochraDe to make tbe opening speech, a posi
tion of embarrassoientjto our friend, aware that
be was to be followed by one than whom few
of the intellectual giants of tbe age wc live in,
whether they precede or follow him in a dis
cussion, would not prefer that upon some other
tbe honor were conferred. No one was more
conscious of this, than Col. Lochrane, as in
handsome terms be stated to the audience.—
Bat notwithstanding this, the speech of Col.
Lochrane was a highly creditable—nay, a
highly intellectual one—argumentative here,
interspersed throughout with anecdote, and at
- -times with Gashes of patriotic eloquence, that
one could see the vast audience move,as it were
with excitement. What the audience felt to
be his brief hour soon expired, and he took
his sear cheered on ail sides by the delighted
crowd.
Mr. Toombs was then introduced by tbe
President of the day to tbe.andicncc. From
him, os he was making his introductory re
marks, we cast an observing eye on those be
fore him—upon the grave matron ;_the old
man; tbe gay daughters of Cherokee; tfc*
youDg men of the mountains; the little girls
and the little boys cluttering around their
fathers and their mothers : wc cast, wc say, an
observing eye upon them ail, and never did we
sec such fixed attention—it was as though eve
ry eye there was as one, and it, os a blaze of
fire directed at tbe speaker. Ail hail heard of
Mr. Toombs—nimMentbs of tl cm fell that be

tlie interesting circumstances which led to this
stale ol public feeling, amusing personal jeal

much irritable rivalry ns followc L the award
of the “golden apple" by the fabled Pall as.-»
Yesterday morning tlie gold box, with its cu
rator, Andrew Jackson Esq., and thedispatch-
Cil Councilman Y'alrtitine, arrived in this city ;
ami in purs nation to telegraphic communication,
Alderman Moneghnn, chairntWn of the cora-
mitloe, with several others, proceeded to the
foot of Duane street to receive their guest. It
was past eleven o’clock when the, boat arrived
at the dock. Carriage* were in waiting,
ami a cordial welcome was given to Mr. Jack
son.
Mr. Yloneghnn welcomed Mr. Jackson to
the hospitality of the city, which courtesy was
acknowledged by Mr. J.; after which they par
took a carriage ami were set down at the City
Hall.
As they were alighting from the carriage
Lieut. Gaines addressed Mr. Jackson as fol
lows ; .
A. Jackson, Esq.—Governor Call, of Flori
da ; J. C. Me El more, of Tennessee, and Col.
Arnold Harris, til YVasliiugton, desire to see
you before you deliver the box at the Metro
politan Hotel or the St. Nicholas Hotel.
Mr. Jackson bowed, and was conducted to
the Mayor’s office, where he was cordially we
corned to the city by the acting Mayor, Aider-
man Clancy. He was introduced to several
persons, among tlxm Garrett Dyekman, the
successful competitor. After a short visit to
the Hall, Mr. Jackson, in company with Al
derman M,.nog ban, was driven to the Metro
politan hotel, where rooms had been engaged
by the committee.
Mr. Jackson looked fatigued, and retired to
take a little rest.
The box is about six inches long aud three
inches wide ; is of plain gold, with a chased
rim. It bears the following inscription :
Presented by the Mayor, Aldermen and
Commonalty of the oity of New York to Ms
jor General Andrew Jackson, with the free,
dora of the city, as a testimony of rcepcct for
his high military service.
It was remarked among the “nnterrified"
that there did not appear to be a very strikiu;
resemblance between the published portraits of
"Old Hickory" and the present guest of the
city, they not taking into their noddles that
the present Jackson was an adopted son of Old
Hickory, and that he was not adopted because
of any family likeness. Tbe present gentleman
« a large,well developed, muscular man, about
fifty years of age, with a c:umenancc indica
tive of great energy of character, and an eye
os fiery as a live, red coal. He is what the la
dies would call a fine, if uot a handsome and
well preserved old gentleman. His looks be
spoke much fatigue, and aahe pas?cd through
tbe city, uus greatly delighted to witness the
wonderful improvements everywhere apparent.
He kept tbe gold box for safety sewed up it
the inside of his vest. Of tbe parties intro
duced by Lieut. Gaines, was Gov. Call, for
merly aid-de-camp to General Jackson, who
was present at the time he received the gold
box in New Y'ork, wLdch was tbe only
time he ever saw tbe old hero - embar
rassed. Col. McEtmore was present when
Gen. Jackson wrote his will. Col. Harris was
the bearer of Jackson’s pistols to Lafayette,
and pre-sen ted Jackson’s sword to Congress.—
It is said they will oppose the presentation ol
tbe box to Dyekman.

Mr. Jackson was allowed to repose daring

was waited upon by Lieutenants Gaines and
Taylor in reference to tlie gold box controver

him, aud which explains the object of their

By express arrived in thirty-six hours at

day before yesterday, granting all or nearly
all asked for by them. The Sloo and Garay
grants are both entirely ignored, ami the af

Delhi.
From u lengthy and interesting article on
the city ol Delhi, which we Cud in the Courier
des KtaLs Urn's of Monday last, we translate for
the readers of the t'uio.i the following passa
ges
•According to the census ot l845-’-tC, the
population of Delhi was 137.977 inhabitants,
of which 71,530 were Hindus, 66,120 Mussul
mans, und 327 Christians. To these figures
must t>e added 22,000 inhabitants ot the su
burbs, which would give an aggregate popula
tion ol about 160,000 souls. Thu eoiumerc 0
of Delhi is quiteactive. Duriug the year 1851
there entered the city more than 180,000 hor
ses, or beasts of burden, carrying merchandise!
65,000 vehicles. The trade consists in the ex
change of horses, fruits, cashmeres, ptecious
stones, and jewelry, to which arc to be added
the costly productions of local industry, such
os shawls, tissues of cotton, indigo, Ac.
Delhi has always been considered one of
the most remarkable cities of ludin, Besides
tlie Gazette of Delhi, published in English,
there are eight journals published in the na
tive tongue, 11 indostanese. Schools are also
numerous. The principal establishment of
public instruction is the College of Uhazzied-
diu-lvhun, founded in 16UU, aud reorganized
by the British in 1829. The coarse of in-
structiou-tompiiscs four chief divisions—the
Sanscrit, Persian, Arabic and English. The
number of pnpils in 1851 was 333, ‘of which
206 were Mussulman?, 105 Hindoos, and 22
Europeans,
“This city is the chief central point of Hin-
dostan aud tbe great mastor-stroke in every
effort to shake off'the yoke of Britain is to
obtain possession of Delhi, os a first. triumph
—not of course, decisive, but highly important
from the decided impression it will produce on
the minds of the natives. It is kuowu that
the insurgents are uow driven within its walls,
and that the city is invested by the British
troops.”
Value <f Time.—YY'hetl the Roman Emper
or said, “1 have lost a day." he uttered a sad
der truth than if he had exclaimed, “1 have
lost a kingdom." Nopoleon sai 1 that tMerea
son why he beat the Austrians was, that they
did not know the value of five minutes. At
the celebrated battle of ltivoli, the conflict
seemed on tbe point of being decided oguinst
him- He saw the critical state of affairs, and
iustuatly took hi. resolution. He dispatched
a Hag to the Austrian'bcadquarters, with pro
posals for an armistice. The unwary Auslrf
ans fell into the snare—for a few minutes
thunders of battle were hushed. Napoleon
seized the precious moments, and while amus
ing the enemy with mock negotiation, rear
ranged his line of battle, changed his front
and in a few ininntes was ready to renounce
the farce of discussion for the stern arbitra
ment of arms! The splendid victory of Rivo-
li was the result. The great uiorul victories
and defeats of the world often turn on five
minutes. Crisis comes, he not seizing of
which is-rnin. Men may loiter, but time flies
on the wings of the wind, and all the great
interests of life are speeding on, with that sure
and silent tread of destiny.

Atlanta, September 15th.
»* Mr. E. U. YVAI.KF.R,
Sir: 1, with the rest of the Conductors of
this Road, received your circular, calling for in
formation about an overcharge lor passage tn
the Western & Atlantic Railroad, t-xactedof Mr.
B. II. Hill, as you say lie ha alleged in a pub
lic speech. I cannot, in justice to myself, (the
person implicated,) givo you an answer yea or
nay, without a word of explanation. Vcu
know very well, sir, that for tlie list eight
months I have been on the Road in I he tapac
ily ol a common train hand, ami have had no
thing to do with a Conductor's luiaine till the
heavy press of work on the line, called for ex
tra help in the running of trains.
A few days since, about the 1st of the month
[ bad charge of a train, which I had orders lo
run just behind the one in charge of Condticior
Wing, and which train I was running by Mr.
YVing’s lead. Two gentlemen g.ton my train
at Cartcraville, and when I called upon them for
fare, I charged one dillar and fifty cents, dll
the rigmarole of Mr. Hill about my various
charges of $2, $1 50, and finally $1, is rimply
a falsehood. I charged Mr. Hill and tbe other
person on the train, $ 1 50 a piece, and no more
or less. This money I returned lo the proper
receiving officer, and there stands the entry of
these two sums on tny book, tnd the entry and
payment ol them made without prompting from
any knowledge of these charges of Mr. Hill
which have just been brought to my knowledge
by your circular. I frankly admit that this was
an overcharge of twenty live cents, and Wm.
Pate, one of our old Conductors, will testify
that I asked him at Marietta if Ihn charge was
right, for never having had Hie control of a
train in my life, until a few days before this
time, I feared I might be wrong. Mr. Pate told
me the regular charge on a freight train milhout
a ticket, was $1 25. I then look:d over the
company at the Hotel to find both the gentles
men togeturn them their rnonoy; hut failing to
do ao, I made the paymeut to the propjr officer,
ol $3 00.
It does seem to me, sir, a plain man, having
nothing but a good name to depend on in this
warlil, that this is a harsh, judgment of Mr.
Hill, and I know it is an unjust one. Could be
have believed, or hoped, that in this transaction
that I was something else than a rogue ? The
facts as they oie, and aa,! give them, show how
easily he might have given some better explan
ation of my conduct, than he has done at New-
nan, Covington, Griffin, and I suppose will do
everywhere else he speaks, from now until Oc
tober.
1 have, as you know, sir, bad no experience
as a Conductor—was only placed in charge of
a train for a few days, and have returned to my
olJ prist as a train hand, now the preaa of our
biuiness does not need me a* a Conduotor. If
I have played the rogue in this intlanco, dwelt
on with such joy by Mr. Hill, it was without
any motive, f played tbe thief, as Mr. Hill haa
been playing the demagogue, all for fun and no
pay. I’oot and bumb'.c as I am. I have, thank
God, always borne the character of a truthful and
honeit man, and Mr. Hill is (he first man who
has said otherwise. I am thankful too, that the
acounl between Mr. HtU and myself, and the
public, bad ia he tries 11 make mo, loaves such
a balance in my favor. He alon* accuses me,
while thousands brand him, and God ia my
judge, I had rather descend, even ftora lhe poor
place I hold, if there is an humbler ant left for
me, than into the pit of degradation which Ibo
good of all limes send* the man who wi.l slan
der and lie for a reward, if be can gel one, or
