As we gave (lie proceedings of thej Press Convention during the. forenoon of 24th August in our last issue, we will now proceed t3 give a sketch of the employment of time for the Press gang for the next few days : At four o’clock Tuesday evening, a fine turn- 1 out of the finest horses and best vehicles that could be produced in the city of Atlanta were found in front of U. S. and American Hotels, by the . order of his Honor, Mayor W. II Hulsey, for the purpose cf giving the members of the Pie.-s an idea of the Grate City of the Empire State of the South. In a very short time we had passed ovei Alabama and W hitehall streets and out to West End, wheeled right about and passed through among the bariacUs, which were more numerous than we had supposed, thcra be ng about forty, and will accommodate more persons than }on would think in passing by railway, hot we are proud to state that it is ik t essential for them to contain but few at present. The next thing that arrests our at tention, is the Utlev Press at 11. P. (J 1 mi's Warehouse. This is an excel lent Pres? for packivg hay or cotton, W e very soon passed over Decatur an 1 Peachtree striets and not cc a large number of fine buildings being erected of brick, and in the best style. The residence now being built for J. If. Ja mes. Eanlfcr is about the most at tractive residence we noticed. The building Ov copied by Messrs. Pember ton, Wilson, Taylor & Cos., Druggists, is a magnificent building, and a vast amount of business is transacted there. The Press company had pretty gen erally passed throughout the city in two and a half hours, and on return to the start!ng point, the remark was very general that Atlanta was now, and is destined to be the greatest city of the noble State of Georgia, and we cannot I ass i t her without complimenting the citizens in the. excellent selection of one of Goorg a’s noblest sons for her chief director as Mayor, to-vvit: Col. W. 11. Uulsev, who is quite a young gen leman,a lawyer of fine quahfica tions, w ho is generous, affable mid ea-y if acres- to all. At 8 o’clock, P AL the Convention Again in< t at the Ci y Had, but trans acted very little business of impor tance. 8 >me good suggestions were made to be consul red by the different Committees until the. Press convenes again in November next, in the city ot Macon. At the hour of 1\ o’c'ock a. m. of Wednesday, 25th ulr., the train for comv\irg the members of the Press was in motion, and all in high spirits with a prospect of full supply ou hand to conn uie them so, caused the time to pass p’easant-ly by. 4 he subject of Agriculture should have interested every one. From At lanta to Uartersviue we found the crops had improved some from recent show ers in the last two weeks. We passed ever 11.i- part of the road two or three weeks si ce, and ’twas very dry then, and crops much injured, but in passing, wherever wc find the proper labor and industry with a proper knowdedge of agricu tore called into exercise, we find <i suflici ncy will be made. In pas ing at the beautiful town of [Marietta we find many visitors from <; fife rent parts of the State stopping here for a healthy location, and from its appearance we judge it is certainly as healthy as any place in the State ( n arrival at, Cartersville we are bor dering upon the mineral-regions, and the sni jectof mining here begins to -interest us. As the train stops at this point we are saluted with the sound of the most excellent music from the Cir torsvil.c I rass Hand, which wis pur rouruled hv a large crowd of gen de mon, and, seated at t'ie depot, we saw <j ite a nu nber of ladies who had turn ed out to see the company that had been proposed as a development for Agr culture, Mining, Manufacturing, Coal, Iron &?., in the region just above them. After a formal reception Pt this point and b ing refreshed by cooling drinks i:i the way of lemonades, etc., the com pany we e shown some three hundred specimens of iron ore, slate, marble, sand stone, grindstone, &c , which spec imens show plainly if the proper means are used wist fortunes, now hidden in Northern Georgia will soon be devel oped. The excursion party which consi-ted of about one hundred men, about forty of whom were press representatives, the remainder of the gentlemen partic ularly interested in the mines of the State, Divines, Judges and Legislators, were m t by a Comm’ttee of citizens from Chattanooga, and invited to par take of the hc-pitaluies of the ei’y when Ih y arrived there. Near King ston our attention was called to the lime kilns of Col. C. W, Howard, who is a citizen that has been, and is des tined to he worth much to the interests of Aortl. rn Georgia in aiding in the development of the mineral resources Ho h*s large experience in tins busi ness. He joined our pai ty at this point, and has been a valuable accession to the prrty in giving his views at differ ent points as we passed along. 110 certainly must be doing h fine business in producing bme. At Dalton we stop ped for a half an hour. Dalton is bound, ere long, to he an important central point for Northern Georgia to aid in Manufacturing end developing the mineral resources of the State.— More anon. Sale of Real Estate at Co.m yEßS.— While among every class of business men we hear the complaint of dull times, there is quite an excitement in the real estate business, and in one day during the week something less than f20,000 worth of land was sold in a’d around the suburbs of Conyers, at fir prices. — Georgia Enterprise. LESSON IN MUSIC. CHAPTER XLV. OF PARTIAL CHROMATIC AND ENHAR MONIC modulation. Qitfstion. Whenever the Dominant and Tonic of anew key are nnp’oyed without the Subdominant Harmony, what does such change constitute 1 Answer. A Partial Modulation. Q. When does a change of this kind arise ? A. One change of this kind arises when the seventh if the Major Mode is flattened, and the modulation returns again through the Impading Note to the Tonic. Q. When the Chromatic Semitones are introduced between the notes of the Scale, in which the key is contimmuy, although partially chang ing. what is such change called? A. Chromatic Modulation. Q. If a Diatonic Sequence of Sev enths is used to avoid modulation, of what will a Chromatic Sequence of Sevenths consist ? A. Of Dominants alone, and the Scale will change at every chord ? Q. What is employed in modern rnosic, in which the Semitones occur, not as parts of the radical Harmony ? A. A species of Chromatic Ttansi tion is employed, but as Aopoggiaturas, After notes, or Accinccaturas. Q. What is the most difficult branch of Harmony ? A. The Inst and most difficult branch of Harmony, is that which arises from the sudden change of key- made by the Enharmonic Diesis. Q. What is to he understood by En harmonic Diesis ? A. As Chromatic pertains to semi tones, Enharmonic signifies extremely musical, entering quarter-tones or smaller fractions than a semitone, for uistanc 1 , from Gto A is a tone inter val. Now if G sharp be taken instead of G, and A flat instead of A, the dif fi-rence between these extremes of the iwo Chromatic Semitones, G sharp i|md A flat, will form the Enharmonic ]>ies : s. - i Q. What must be further considered to understand this 1 A It must be understood that the Interval of a Tone in the 'Theory of Harmonics is not always the same li bat Tone Interval which is between the Fourth and Fifth of the Scale is supposed to be divided into small parts called commas ; while that which is between the Fifth and Sixth of the scale (major) is divided onL into eight commas. 'Q. Of what does the Diatonic Semi tone consist ? A. Of five commas, while the Ohro* matic Semitone consists of three or four according to the magnitude of the 'Tone. Q. Into what does the Enharmonic Scale divide each Tone ? A. Into two Chromatic Semitones and the Quauone tone; hence the tyvo Chromatic Semitones being taken from the Minor Tone of (Eight com mas) leave a residue of two commas tor the Diesis or Quarter Tone, and on the Temple Organ and a few other in struments the tones from G to A, and from D to E, (natural) aie of eight commas, are divided into three parts, by two distinct keys, one for G sharp, another for A flat ; also one for D anal p, ana anotner tor 1U flat. Q. Is this arrangement common with most keyed instruments '{ A. It is not in general, because in strument tuners are governed by Equal Temperament, which is such, that the single short key between the two longer keys serves for both purpo ses, that betweeu G and A being tuned higher than G sharp and lower than A flat. Q If the Chromatic Octave upon keyed instruments consists of twelve different sounds (exclusive of the Dia tonic E ghth or Replicate of the first) how many different chords in respect of the, keys themselves may he pro duced on the key-board ? A. Three different chords. These, in their simplest forms, are the add and ninths of D, A, and E, Dominants of their respective Minors, and each of these chords, by the use of the Diesis, ma}’ change into three other Harmo nies; and thus an immediate step to any one of the twelve minor modes may be gained. Note. — Mr. Corfe of Salisbury, in his Thorough Base simplified, has giv en a table of these chords, as used in the twelve minor keys, <Sce. Remark. Aft>r another lesson or two we aim to review the most impor tant points in our Lessons of the pres et t volume of the Gazette and pre pare to commence anew on the Theory with the commencement of the second volume. The Chops. —Tn the course of a run of someone hundred and fifty miles up the Central Railroad, a day or two since, we had an opportunity of observing the crops on the line. We saw but one field of j corn that could he considered good, and that was on bit tom land, jf’he crop has the appearance of having suffered from drought, as the ears seemed small and bad ly filled, as a general rule. The cotton on the roadside is also quite small, and pre sents somewhat of an autumnal appear ance, the leaves being browner than is usu al at this season and probably touched more or less with lice or rust. We were struck by the immen-o quantity of open cotton in the fields —fmly one half the crop being ready for picking. This is i caused, probably, by the very hot suns ; for the last two weeks combined with some unhealthy action in the plant. The crops throughout the line of Cen tal Georgia weie suffering much from dry weather; the ponds were nearly all dried up and water courses very low ; though we passed through a fine rain between numbers 9 and 10, which did immense good in the limited i-trict where it fell. — [Savannah Republican. Awful Tragedy.— The quiet village of Monroe was startled on Sunday night of last week by the announcement that a young lady —Miss d/ary Cunningham, daughter of Mrs. Cunningham, of that I place—hal committed suicide by poison ing herself with strychnine. She was , found iyingon the floor of tier bed-cham ber at 12 o’clock that night, in violent convulsions and frothing at the mouth. A physician was summoned at once, but too | 1a to to relieve her. He expressed the : opinion that she was poisoned with strych nine. The Coroner’s jury found a verdict to the effect that she came to her deatli by poison administered by her own hand. There were many rumors in circulation in reference to this tragic afikir, but we forbear giving currency to any of them.

S, Terry. Messrs. Editors; By your permission 1 will endeavor to answer Bro. Terry’s ques tions. Now, Bro. Terry, I don’t know that I can answer ail your questions, or any, to satisfy you, hut I will try, just to keep up with the questions and not let them get so far ahead, and I hope others will study the theory of music so they will he able to answer questions and not propound so many. 1 believe you asked 7 questions in the 3Gth number of the Gazette. Ist, “Why does the letter A occupy the 2d space in the tenor?” 2d, “ TFhy is B the natural place for the “me” in four shapes ?” 3d, “Why is ‘me’ the leading note in this lystem?” 4th, Why is C the natural Ma jor key ?’’ So here I will consolidate your questions and answer them all in one. It pleased our Creator to give us a voice and with that voice tones, and the num ber of tones are 7, and the tones in music are 7, and the number of letters used are 7, and in choosing the letters they chose the 7 first of the alphabet, and A was chosen for the natural minor key because it comes first and C lor the maj"r because it comes third, and there had to be one be tween the two keys, and B, being the 2nd and representing “me” midway between the two keys, this is why the “me” is the leading note in this system or any oth er that I have ever seen. For stronger proof why they are natural, we can speak the letter A without moving our lips, but B, we have to bring our lips together to sp?ak it, so you see we bring more organs into motion to speak the letter B than we do to speak that of A, and the same to speak Cas that of A ; so this is all the proof that I can give why A and C are natural. But why some become flat and some sharp, I don’t exactly know ; but som words arc sharp and some flat, so we might reasonably suppose that some let ters would be Hit and some sharp ; hut, as I have said before, in choosing the first 7 letters to represent the 7 tones, A being the first natural tone they placed it in the first space of the Bass stave in order not to have it too low that the voice could not reach it, and C in the 2nd space of the Bass stave in order that it should not run so high on the tenor and treble stave that the voice could not reach it, and placing A and C thus, with B between them, threw B on the space above the Bass stave, and that sound or tone corresponding with the one on the middle line of the tenor stave and B representing that line and sound or tone and A coming before B placed A in the 2d space of the tenor staff. Now, friend Terry, I have answered your questions to the best of tny ability ; hut if you are not satisfied I hope that someone will answer your questions that is more ab'e than myself; but as to the whys and wherefores these letters become placed that way is a mystery, and the most correct answer that any one else can give you on the subject is I don’t exactly know. I would be pleased to hear from others. Yours respectfully, NII’CORD. About Crops. An intelligent planter from Hancock county, who has used fertilisers for years, gives it as his opinion that, for the first time in his experience, they will fail to pav this year. Ho has lately traveled from here to Atlanta, thence to Augusta and back to Macon through Middle Georgia.— fie reports crops generally bad. In Green tolerably good. In Hancock vve will aliow his statement as to his own to give an idea of the whole. He had four hundred and fifty acres cotton. In July there was the finest prospect he had ever seen—counted confidently on the 300 bales. His sights are set now for only 150 bales. One half cut off since July. lie thinks the country generally will hardly make a bale to six ams planted. As to manured cotton it had grown far ahead of that unmanured iu July, but the latter has now caught up with it in size of weed, and r.Tns at this time might cause it to make a little more vuth a iate fab, whilst they would cause manuicd cotton to take on anew and rap id growth, which always fails to makeany -1 1 . n ®‘ _ , Rutnam county and several parts of Hancock there have been some iams wfiich were bemficial to those local- Lies, torn crops in these places rather better than last year. [Macon Daily Telegraph. Nonsense About Night Air. There is a popular pnjudice concerning the evil ef fects of night air about winch a word must be said. It was formerly the universal be lief that the night air was verv injurious. But the fact is, that, except under circum stances, or in very damp weather, it is as healthful, or even more so, than that ot the day time. ’I he night air of large cities, such as London, when the bustle and com motion, which cause it to bo loaded with dust particles, is comparatively quelled, and the numerous fires which contaminate it with their smoke arc mostly extinguish ed, is purer than that of the day. Noth ing conduces more to healt y sleep than good ventilation surpasses that obtained by opening a window at the top, by which the influence of draught is avoided, while the upper stratum ot air, to which impuri ties ascend, is constantly renewed. From the Jomlfyl $ Messenger, 30tb ult. 1 Sad Shooting Affray on Third Street On Saturday evening, about halt past six o’clock, a disturbance occurred at the store of Nussbauin & Damien berg, on Third street, the facts ot which, as near as we can ascertain them, are as follows ; It seems that just at evening two colored men entered the store of Mes srs. Nussbaum & Dannenberg with the view of making purchases. One of them, we hear, bought a pair of pan taloons, and the other, named Aamn Kemp, formerly an employee on the Macon and Brunswick liai road, busied himself in ldoking about him. The young clerk, who was waiting upon them, suddenly missed a package of socks, and accused Aaron of taking them, which the negro emphatically denied. The clerk toon a’tempted to seize Aaron, saying to him, “You’ve got those socks under your coat, now pull them out.” Again Aaron denied having them, arid started to run out of the store, when Mr. Louis J.ilieo thnl (the clerk) caught up a revolver anc fired upon him, the hall ent ring the negro’s hack, passing t rough tLc left ki.lney and entering the skin of the abdomen in front, but not coniine: out. Policeman Avant instantly np cn the ground and arrested the young man whom ho conveyed at on -e to the ’station House. .Captain James A. Simps, n took charge of the wounded negro and conveyed him to his cousin’s house on Fourth street, just opposi o the Station House. I lie negro was waited m by Dr. Wright, of this oily, who rendered him every attention, hut he died about 3 o’clock yesterday morning. The negro who was sbo*, originally came from Me tot county, Ga He is about tweuty-fouryears of ago, was in the employ of .he Macon Bruns wick R .ilroad, aid had just returned from Marietta, G , where he had b-f-n to visit some of its friends. lie had m his possession a pass from the Rail road Company auborizing him to trav el from Atlanta t this point, and for ty-seven dollars aid twenty-six cents, mostly in city moiey. The young mat who fired the. fatal shot is a German W both, and an Is raelite in Ins relgious vifowg. 110 is some twenty fuuryears of age, of me dium height, and las been very atten tive to ill a interefs of his < m ploy erg. lie stated to us a&jiis reason for shoot ing the negro, tint lie know io had the socks under his ci.at, and fearing that he mijht escape with them, lie fired on the impulse of the moment, and did not knowhe had Hit him until lie saw the blood upon the floor. At the same t me ht asked us very’ ear nestly it the av did not authorize him to shoot anybody that was caught stealing if there vas danger of his get ting away with the property he had stolen. The whole affair occupied but a few seconds apparently, but it has pro duced an immense amount of excite ment among the negroes, one of whom was placed in the Station House by the police for being so demonstrative. The whole affair, we presume, will be le gally investigated this morning by some magistrate. IVejyro ltow at Mliitc Plains, (la. On Saturday night, the 14th inst , a negro man, who was living on the plantation ot Mr. James Marchman, on or near the dividing line ol Hancock and (jrecne counties, was murder ed t>y a parly ot unknown peraoce in disguise. It sei ms that the negroes in the neighborhood become greatly excited, and supposing Mr. Marchman to he implicated in the murder a body of thirty-five or forty organized them selves into a regular sris'ed company, on the night ol the 18th inst., and repaired to Mr. Marcbman’s house. They surrounded the house and. with horrid oaths and vowa of vengeance, commenced an indiscriminate fire on the prem iers, in wdiich Mr. Marchman was severely wounded. Alter keeping up the fire for fifteen or twenty minutes, on the ass nance of Mrs. Marchman that they had killed her husband, they left the premises uttering the mort hitter curses against the whites. 80 far as W3 can learn, t!.e negroes made no effort at conceal ment. Mr. Marchman made his escape, in dis guise, and soon procured assistance. The civil authorities acted promptly, and fifteen ol the party have been arrested and confined in the jail at Sparta. They have made a full conles sion, and given the names at all the parties im plicated. Floyd Moore, the leader of the gang is yet at large.—Gieeusboro Herald, gbih Jjt.

Ficm the Atlanta Intelligencer. Tiae Conud, Atlanta, August 17, 18G9. About two years since, I saw an extract from an English journal which stated ‘‘that in the close of the summer of 1869, a large comet would make its appearance a sec ond time.” This fact I took a note of, and a short time since I saw a piece in some journal stating that a comet had been seen in the North east. About the middle of July last, I commenced watching the horizon at different hours of the night, both in the Northwest and Northeast, for the suid cornet, and up to the 10th inst. I had made no discovery, though I heard that it had been seen. I continued my observation until the morning of the 13th instant, when at 3 o’clock, nearly due Northeast, I discovered a part of the tail of the comet low down in the horizon, the light of which was very faint, and shortly disappeared. Its tail had two parts, and, upon examination, I find it nearly like that one seen in 1811, which according to the observations of the celebrated astronomer, Iler schel, had a double tail, which was very faint compared with its main body. Shortly after the appearance of this comet, this double tail van ished and a small tail issued from it, then vanished for a short time and then made its appearance again.— The estimate as to the length of its tail is one hundred millions of miles, and its breadth fifteen mil lions of miles. I am satisfied from the short time I saw it, which was half an hour, that it is a comet of immense propotions, and that it will not make its appearance far above the horizon until late in the fall, when, at its rapid rate of travel, it will begin to show itself plainly. 1 am inclined to believe that it is very close to the earth, and has something to do with the intense heat we have had for the past two months and at present. — More on the subject in the future. OBSERVER. From the Correspondence of the Courier-Jour nal, Louisville, Ky. Ciiurch Union. The M. E. Churches “North,'' and “S outli'—Action of the Annual Conference at Westport , Indiana. Westport, Ind., Aug. 23. The following preamble and res olutions were adopted by the An nual Conference of the .Methodist Episcopal Church at its late session here: Whereas, The M. E. Church South has made such changes in her ecclesiastical polity and legislative economy that we see but little dif ference between their’s and our own, adopting a lay delegation equal to the itinerrant (or clerical) in their General Conference, which is their legislative body, and lay delegates in all the sessions or con ferences of the Chuach ; and Whereas, They have such litera ture ; publications of all kinds such as we need, and can supply us with a number of efficient ministers to aid us in carrying the Gospel throughout this State and Ohio; therefore Resolved, By this Annual Con ference now in session in Westport, Decatur county, Indiana, August 21st, 1860, that we do hereby adopt the principles, rules and regulations of said Methodist Episcopal Church South, as set forth in her Discipline, to become thereby a Conference of said church : Provided that this action, with proper explanations, be submitted, after due notice, say from four to eight weeks, to the vote of the members of the Evangelical U. B. Church in this State. Pro vided, 1 urther, That the same shall then be ratified by a session of said Conference, which shall meet in October 27, 1869. A committee of three was ap pointed to receive and count the votes when reported by the pastors, and name the place of meeting.— All indications go to show that the above action will be overwhelming ly ratified. Bishop McTyeire will then meet the Conference, and the act be consummated, and their del egates elected to the next General Conference, vdiich meets next May in Memphis, Tenn. The people sustain this move by every token of approval and the warmest demonstrations. The con ference, thus constituted, promises to move off with about thirty ministers and a corresponding membership, houses of worship, Ac TSic Laboring Classes in Enjj lantf. The London correspondent of the New York Times draws a dismal picture of life among the laboring classes in England. Up says: “Millionsof people in England live almost entirely upon baker’s bread. Here, for exam ple, is the way of life of a sober hard-working- Englishman, irho earns 13s. a week, (say <4 50 gold siatidard,) and has a wile and six chil dren. He neither drinks noremokes, and hands over his whole wages to his wife. This is a common practice in well ordered families She pays 4s. a week for rent, Is. for coals ; can dles, soap, etc., 9d.; a penny a week each foi the six children to a burial club. Odd on a doc tor’s bill due, Is. Here are 7s. 3d. of the 18s. gone, and nothing to eat. Now the bill is fare mr those persons : One pound of bread a day (or each—the children scarcely taste any thing else—comes to 7.5. a week ; twenty pounds of potatoes, 8 1.; one pound butcher's meat on Sunday and two pounds of salt pork for week days. 2s ; one pound sugar, half a pound of butter, one ounce tea, 13d., make up the week’s account. No milk, no fruit, no clothing. 7 he only way thev can have that is for the chil dren to get work or to die—then something would come in from the burial clab. Thousands on thousands of men work lor two-thirds these wages or less. Plenty, even in large towns, work (or 12s. a week. Thousands cannot taste even the Sunday meat dinner. Great numbers never taaie butter, they get a little dripping as a substitute. In a London shop on a Saturdav night, you will see great heaps of penny and half-penny packets of tea, and penny worths of hrown sugar, ready done up fot ‘people of mod erate incomes.’ I once had the curiosity to buy a half penny packet of tea—a cent's worth. It resembled musty clover hay, and a decoction tasted as you might fancy the drippings from a heap of dead leaves to taste at the end of a hard winter. ’ This is a striking contrast to the con dition of (he same class in America. It seems too (hat an investigation of the prisons and workhouses discloses the fact that the inmates, with but lit tie to do, are actually better cared, lor, fed and clothed, when being ostensibly punished as criminals, than the majority ol the honest laborers are; thus offering a premium tc crime instead of honest industry, by holding out to offenders the indueements of good food, clothing, medical attendance aud light work. IIo: riblo, if Tnic. The Macon Telegraph of Thurs day morning last contains the fol lowing: “We heard it stated yesterday, by a policeman, that a most horri ble and brutal affair occurred near Station 10, on the Central Railroad, on Friday last. lie stated that the police of the city were endeavoring to capture one of two negroes who had forcibly carried to the woods, near Station 10, two white youn^ ladies, and after gagging and bind°- ing them, violated their persons in the most fiendish and horrible manner. One of the negroes is without an arm, which he says he lost when a slave of the father of one of the young ladies, and in this wise : He was endeavoring to make his escape from his master when the latter shot at him and broke his arm, and thus necessitated its amputation. The infernal wretch, to gratify bis revenge upon the father of the young woman, and after lie had brutally violated her person, took out his knife and cut off one of her arms, and gave as his reasons for doing so the facts stated to have occurred when he was a slave.” “Our informant stated that one of the negroes had been arrested, and that the other was supposed to be in this city. For the sake of humanity, we hope the facts of this case are exaggerated, or that the horrible reports we hear are ground less. If true, they surpass anything we have ever heard or read of either in ancient or modern history, and human ingenuity would fail in it efforts to invent a just punish ment for the demons that would perpetrate such a crime.” Other reports from Macon sub stantiate the truth of the foregoing from the Telegraph. We "have heard and read of crime—“crime prevailing in the land”—till we are heart-sick at it. But nothing more appalling than this last outrage have wc ever been called upon, as a chronicler of the times, to place before our readers.

Can the two races ever live in peace when such a spirit prevails? [Atlanta Intelligencer. j£fT Miss Margaret Hill, a niece of the late General A. P.
