TliS 00\£UNMi'.M SA Ln OF GOLD Y C3IEKDA Y. ... o - 27te Excitement. Abating, and the ‘Bull* and 'Bear*' Eaumuting Tnatr Gama and Losaea. From Suziduy’a Herald. P(*aceful solitude in Wall .Street yes terday reigned supreme. The free at mosphere of relief, the consciousness of security, the hope of advancement in mercantile pursuits, the sterling en couragement shown by the administra tion to our princely merchants, the cli max of a vile conspiracy the terrible resuits of an ingenious clique nation, its dire effects, confusing j -\r consternation—ail tend to the X- L. lu ' thropic expect ion that the gredTC swin die may never be repeated. That the fraud was inexcusable, ably plotted and most adroitly arranged is now be yond comment. The result, while it has caused uuternble woe, has, never theless, been s unewkat advantageous, since a dangerous epidemic, gradually progressing undm- the most skilful ii naucial doctors, has been timely nip ped in the bud. Like to tho ripening of a diewase, the culmination of the worst stage was by many unexpected. Never was consumptive patient—a tender youth of two and tweut. —more lovingly dandled by admiring friends The effort was for the time successful, but then came the territic crash, and all at once were forgotten—hopes, fears, love, homo and all’ectiou. De spair stood rampant, while the club booted genius smiled with delight.— Wall street was seized with paralysis, for which, however, as a last remedy, the skidiul application of the Treasury chief proved effective. The excitement ifi now at an end, and it is hoped- that it will be long era eueli terrible scenes shall be re-enacted. THE GOLD ROOM. But yesterday the gold room might have stood against the world. Con flagration in its wildest fury never made more terrific wreck. It was, a scene to be witnessed with sympathet ic feelings, for, setting aside the utter recklessness of the worthless compo nent parts of the flame, the transac tion was disastrous and furni ;hes sub ject for regret, although in the main tee result inii-,t be haded with gratifi cation. Disconsolate the monetary auimab prowled around the arena where the mighty struggle was at tempted, Neither “bears” nor “bulls” assumed the offensive yesterday. Re luctantly whipped into obedience— forced into decency by complete ex haustion-compelled to forego the greedy appetite for gain by popular indignation—temporarily thrust aside as crawling reptiles that had glutted themselves with their prey; mortified at the result of the feast (some of the guests at the board having been poor ly served), and generally dissatisfied, the majority of the gambit rs were non eat yesterday. Although the streets were crowded, but little business was transacted. A pall hung over the as semblage. At noon it was like a “wake/’ the crowd of sympathizers waiting to convey their murdered friend “speculation ’ to his last renting place. But the Gold Room was a pic ture in itself. Not many hours before it resounded with eager shouts arid vo ciferations —the hoarse cries of infuri ated demons—whose thirst for gold was stronger than their voices. In deed they so strained themselves that they cackled and finally broke down. Theruius of Pompeii are grand to con template; the blight on t; .e (fold Room h aves a sad and miserable : pecLuele to behold. On Friday last the Furies were exercised, Gorgons grinned and : irpies revelled in delight. To any young man of a contempla tive mind, who e reflections were di rected to thoughts either above or be low, Dante, in referring to the lower regions, only faintly conveys any idea of the New York Gold Room on the day referred to. 11 a man reptiles crawled about in all directions; there was gnashing of teeth and fiendish joy. Ten’s minds were gone astray, and Lu cifer, with an ingot in Lis hand, show ed himself to the idiots and they shriek ed with joy. What a change did yes terday, present. The sulphurous smell of the room had partly gone; but the odor of a churchyard still remained. — I'he Gold Room was not as bright ns usual There was no rubbing of hands t »f fat and princely merchants —no | dashing gait of well shaved gamblers j —no eager smile of inm cent buffoons I mature for robbing. It was a sandy j desert —a tomb, a vault, a cave, a sep- j nlchre—replete with stories. It was j pr< gmiut witha grand iinancial liisto r . v Jrlow bright ghosts, arrayed in • g ’l, strutted around the circle, co-: querying in curling whiskers, and with j t-.r_. ao most oily. All was dumb.— j wreck was apparent on ail sides. Not in twos or threes, but in tens, ! t ,vi a ties and hundreds, human beings j had struggled for existence —not mtm i- ily, perhaps not honestly -but sure- 1 ]v iu hope of gain. It was deserted iHYtv. The pit was like a black hole. No longer the earnest look arrests at tention. The pi tee was dull, ecid and frozen. Memoranda- —what glowing stories could they not have told —were sm about the floor The galleries looked bare, and the mighty pit, in Wi- tea the throng was most excessive, was completely empty. In line, a grorterujontrast could not bo present ed t a in the. appearance of the gold room oa yesterday and the day preceeding. THE FEKUNCI IN THE CITY. Ihe shock was terrific indeed. It is generally admitted that no similar af- ‘ bur since the war bus.caused such ut j tsi consternation. The feeling yester day iu Wall Street ahtT vicinity \vu.> un-! questionably one ot unqualified satis -j faction. An immense weight seemed] to nave been hived horn the cummer-' c.nw chest, and merchants breathed ] more freely. The whom affair was ■ i * ughly discuascd, the causes of tW q Id fracas, the probabilities of tile ir,s i and the general effect that *■' - . be. produced. E voud question a gloom prevailed. There was no liveliness. The accustomed sprightli uess ot India rubber Wall street men seemed to have completely disappear ed. Everything was quiet as if Wall street vote a churchyard, the Gold Room a grave, and the spectators su perstitious. Crowds gathered near it and gazed on v ith curious specula tion, wondering how many fortunes uad therein been lost and won. In Broad streef there were other crowds, indeed, there were crowds every wher , eagerly debating the great issues of the day. The e\ent of the preceding day had completely paral yzed the market, and yesterday wu3 regarded as a holiday. THE SUPPOSED SUSPENSIONS. In consequence of the extreme pres sure in the Clearing Douse and the utter physical inability of the clerks to attend to the impatient demands of eager inquiries, people gave credence / f £ !e 'iY most, injurious rumors. Among nniwnwit said to have bteu temporarily '‘-‘‘UWlrassed by the occasion and part ly obliged for the time to succumb to the pressure of the day were the fol lowing sufferers, who, though slightly wounded, will doubtless recover the danger of a stray and ignorant shot: Albert Spey era, William Bidden, Drex el, \\ ruihrop A Cos., C.annum c Cos., vS ilfiittu Heath A Cos., Smith, Gould, Ala. tin A Cos., W. L. Livermore A Cos., Gluts , McClue & Cos., Nathan W. Ro berts, Ward A Cos., and others. It is believed that while numbers have ab solutely broken clown there are yet firms reported tube “unwell” that shall bravely stand the seige. It is dangerous, as it is unfair, to pronounce complete failures where none are leuliy known to have existed. To-morrow will give a clear view into the entire circumstances, and flickering caudles will either be extinguished or burn more brightly. There is little to bo recorded of yesterday. It was a dull day —a day of contemplation and pity —a day of grief to some, joy to others and one of general satisfi.ctioi'. to the community. Laiiue;af Uivines. A letter from Mnfre.,boro to the Co lumbia Heral says: “Dr. YTunsey, of the Baltimore Con ference, to-day preached one of the grandest sermons I have ever heard, i have heard Holland, Maimer, Young, Green, Fierce, Fitts, and others, but they are like mole lulls compared to mountains and atoms to worlds, when compared to Alunsey. I hesitate not; to say he is the greatest preacher I have ever heard.” Vv e have heard the great Munsey ! ourselves, and we are tempted to sub scribe to any pr.ai.se rendered him, ' however rich it may be. A more cap tivating speaker can scarcely be imag ined. Glowing figures not coined from fancy—he scatters lavishly—his materials gathered from every possi ble source, are fused into a gorgeous unity by a burning imagination, and his discourse clothed with the purple robe of an always royal rhetoric, is enchanting. No prose can be more melodious— his periods evoiuing in a series of sub ordinate clauses, which spring natural ly one from another, roll on with a soft, yet mighty swell, which has some thing of the languishing harmony of verse. But of all the orators that we have ever lie? rd—political or otherwise George F. Fierce stands pre-eminent ly fir©t. He has the luscious sweet ness, match!©;- > coloring and voluptu ous harmony of Munsey; and, m hap py combination with this, ho has the ease, vivid logic of Itasconi, and the stately strength and style of Beck with. Fierce never weaves a web for his audience unless caught in the glitter ing woof are many tin ends of persua sive argument. Munsey’a stylo re minds ns of the soft Italian, where vowel chases vowel and liquid in beau ty, glides with liquid, while Pierce sug gests the sturdy English, where vow els catch vigor from consonants, and in turn, give to consonants a milder hue. —Rome Courier. A Big Test. —An enormous chesnut tree was felled on the farm of Mr. Cou ly. in Carrol county, Ga., on the Gth, which made fifteen hundred rails. After the tree was cut down, the longest cross-cut saw procured which was possible to be had, and two men, with this saw and their axes, labored faithfully for a whole day iu sawing the first cut. The top of the stump meas ured nine feet in diameter. The rails which it made are perfectly sound, and will make olc hundred and fifty pan ne Is of fence. —Dalton Citizen. It Pays. —The Central Railroad Company has decided to keep its hail fair schedule in force until the first of January. The company must have found the present arrangement a wise one, by an increase of travel sufficient ly large to overbalance the difference in fares.—Savannah Rep. Young Africa on Stilts.—A most humorous incident occurred on Wed nesday last, at a colored school, taught by a colored man, in this city, iu which i young Africa “riz in its wrath,*’ and | while at that interesting altitude, let i itself drop like a brick from a four story scaffold, on their schoolmaster, and “fanned” him dean out. It hap pened iu this wise: ’1 ho schoolmaster had under-taken to give one of the boys, about fourteen years old, a lanupping with a leather ! strap, but the boy caught the strap in j his hand and began to give his m.ffruc i tor a little of it; whereupon the iu | struetor knocked his pupil down, and ; planting his knees upon the boy’s j breast, was literally wearing him out. At this point of the brutal proceedings, i two half-grown girls pitched in, with : sticks, uporf the colored man of letters,; and he then turned upon them. This was too much foi the boys iu the school, and they went in to defend the girls, and in less time than we have taken to tell it, old Socrates hail about twenty five pugnacious and ferocious little niggers darting at him like a flock of martins at a sparrow-hawk. They were too much for him. and the “old fel” got whaled like blazes. The row broke up the school. [Macon Telegraph.

P . M . B . YOUNG, OF U.VI'TOW. Superior Court ISartow town - O'. Most of last week was consumed in disposing of the criminal Docket. Mr- Jourdan, for assaulting the young Grif fins, with intent to murder, was sen tenced to the penitentiary for four years. Miss Evans for killing James M. Denman, was found guilty of mur der, and recommended to the mercy of the Court, was sentenced to the penitentiary for life time. Win Spen cer, father of Green Spencer who kill ed Richard Smith, a few days since, was tried as accessory to the murder and acquitted. The Court adjourned over on Saturday evening last, until the Fourth Monday in November next. The gent i al presentments of the Grand Jury will be found in another column of this paper, to which we invite the attention of our readers, rs there is much of interest to the citizens of onr county, embraced in them. The November number of “Peter son’s Magazine” is already on our ta ble. It has a beautiful steel engrav ing, “The Messers go r of Love,” illus trating a powerfully written story.— The colored steel fashion plate is one of the most beautiful we have ever seen, even in this tasteful magazine. There is also a pattern for a Tidy, to be worked in Java canvass, printed in the appropriate colors; (his alone is worth the price of the number. The litera ry contents, as always in this magazine, are from the very best authors. Mrs. Ann S. Stephens continues her mas terly Novelet, “Mario Antoine tte’s Tal isman.” Frank Lee Benedict gives several more chapters of “Kate’s Win ter in Washington.” Mrs. R. Harding Davis has a powerful tale, and Daisy Ventnor a charming love story. With this number we have the Prospectus for 1870. The price is but two dollars a year. To clubs, the terms are cheap er still, viz: four copies for sfi.Co or eight copies for $12.00; in the first case a large-sized engraving being giv en as a present, to the person getting up the club; in the last, an extra copy of the Magazine, in addition to the en graving. This engraving i.j a very beautiful one, large-sized for framing, its subject a child at prayer at its mother’s knee, its title, “Our Father Who Art In Heaven.” Specimen cop ies (if “Pei arson’s Magazine” are sent gratis to those wishing to gel up clubs. Now is the iirne to get up clubs for 1870. Address, Chas. J. Peterson, 30G Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, l’a. Fifteen Sloullw For s‘2.

Walker, Evan* & CoggswvH, of Charles- j ton, for the fltsi uumijcr of the “Ru ' r-.I C u'ohniau,” published monthly, at $2 per annum. It contain:-: 61 pa ! gen ot closely printed matter, and Il lustrated with a likeness of David !

Ihe matter is exceoding ‘iy interesting, and we commend the i Rural Carolinian to the attention of our farming friends, as a valuable com panion. Pig Ikon.— We are informed by an experienced and successful iron, fouud i ct in this city that there is a smelting furnace within eighteen miles of Car tersville, in this State, w inch produo- j ;cs pig iron for which he would be j ; glad to pay two dollars more per ton j | for, than he is paying for any pig iron | which can be purchased iu any- of the i | Northern cities, but oving to the dis- } ; fieulty in transportation it is itnpossi- I ble for him to obtain it, evou for that advanced price. If there was a rail road the above named furnance, which iis located on the Etowah river, con- j mating with the railroad at Carfcers j ville, this iron could not only be brought to Savannah, but sons to the Northern cities and sold at a hand some profit. —Hav.

General Present tiilenfs of (fie Grand Jury, Second Week. FSartow Sayerioi Court, Fat: Term, We, the Grand Jury for the Second Week, September Term, Bartow Su perior Court, 1860, beg leave to make the following-General Presentments: After a week of much toil, we find much cf interest in our County, both to deplore and commend, and while there is crime, or any of the stains re maining from the late demoralizing ii - flueuces through which we have passed in the last few years, we have that, which all good men should deplore; and yet, when we look around us, and see how our people have arisen from the deplorable condition to which they have been, when we see peace and i I prosperity all over our County, and ' the great ray idity with which onr peo- j pie are retracing their steps, and get- ! ting back to that high moral and re- ; ligious standard to which we laid claim i in times past, we certainly have a j great deal to commend and be thank- j fnl for; aLd while on this subject, we : feel it is due to our County officers j generally, and our presiding Judge, e-s- j peciallv, in their prompt discharge of< duty, we are to a great extent indebt- j ed for the present condition of socie- : if, and that all good citizens should ; unite with us in saying, “well done i good and faithful servants.” We find on file, in the Ordinary ’s of fice, reports from the road commis sioners in all the Districts in the County. The Commissioners of Allatoona District report their roads and bridges all in good order. The Commissioners of Stamp Creek ' report roads and bridges in good or- i der. The Cos mink sioners of Wolf Pen Dis trict report roads all in good order. The Commissioners of Pine Log District report roads all in good order. The Commissioners of Sixth District report roads all in good order, with the exception of some rocks which will have to be blasted. The Commissioners of Adairsville District report roads and bridges all in good order. The Commissioners of Cassville Dis trict report roads all in good order, with some few exceptions. The Commissioners of Cartorsville District report roads and bridges in good condition except the Road from Petit’s Creek, to district line on the Road to Euhuilce. The Commissioners of the 17th Dis trict report all their roads in good or der. The Commissioners of Kingston District report roads and bridges all in good older, except the Road from Giliem’s old Bridge to Kingston. — And this Grand Jury would respect fully recommend tnat no tines and for feitures be demanded of the Commis sioners at this term of the Court, in consideration of the very unfavorable time they have had for working roads this Full, and that they be required to have all their roads completed without any exceptions, by the time this Court re-assembles in November. It is ex ceedingly gratifying to us, as citizens of th’s county, to hear strangers say, they do not need anv information as ; to the lines of Barlov, County, for the I working of the roads designates the ■ Lines. And we would respectfully rc ' commend that the Ordinary promptly ! give to every one entitled, a certificate i of the faithful discharge of his duty.— Befox-e leaving the subject of roads we would further recommend that the Ordinary issue his order, to the Road Commissioners of Cartersville District, to open the old road from the resi dence of Capt. E. D. Puckett to his Ferry, on the Etowah River, as wo arc informed and believe, that the order of the Inferior Court, closing said road, was only intended as a tempora ry arrangement, until Capt Puckett could sufficiently recuperate to build i lane fences. And we further recommend that he be allowed to close the road run ning from his houso paralled with the Railroad to McClatchey’s Mill, as we regard that as being perhaps the j most dangerous portion of Road in our J County, and one as being entirely use less, when the old road is reopened. , Vvo further-more recommend that. Capt. Puckett be allowed sufficient j time to make the changes, say until the Ist of Janury next, and that the : Superintendent of the W, & A. R. R., 1 be requested to put in the proper Stock Gaps at Capt. Puckett’s .Farm, j We farther recommend the build ing a bridge across a small branch j which makes into Etowah River, just above Mra. Smith’s farm, into which ' the water at high tide in tlio River banks, so as to make it impassable as it now stands. And just here, permit us to say, there is a general complaint on the part of the Commissioners of the | roads in regard to their inability to j get certain parties to work on the roads. They warn them, they fail to j attend, and then if they can be found ! they may be arrested and imprisoned at the expense of the County, which we are of opinion, is an accommoda tion to most of that class, and we can see but one way to remedy tiffs evil which is to recommend our members iu the Legislature to use their utmost efforts to pass a bill making it a mis demeanor for any one to fail to do i public duty, the penalty to be a fine as at present, or to bo placed in the Chain Gang, where they can be made to week. We have examined the Jail, and find the walls strong and durable, but the ventilation is bad, and past expe rience teaches us that the door is in secure. Wo are of opinion that these too evils might be remedied by the application of proper mechanical skill; and we recommend that a proper me chanic be employed, and, if expedient, have more windows cut, and gratings put in, so as to make the ventilation more perfect, and if possible, make the door secure. The unfinished condition of the Court House renders it unnecessary for us to say more than that we are highly grat ified at having, at no distant day, a Court House highly credible to Bar tow' County, and one which will reflect credit on a high-toned, liberal and en terprising people. We would respect fully recommend the erection of a suit able privy for the use of the officer's of the Court. We have also examined the build ings on the farm, owned by the Coun ty, and devoted to the use of the Poor, and find they are sufficient in number for present purposes, and are roomy, and built in a good, substantial man ner. There is also a house in process of erection, and nearly complete, which is intended to be used as a Church and School house. All the houses seem to be neatly kept, and the beneficiaries seem to be well contented. As it is found necessary by the Com missioners of the Poor, to keep a team, and hand on the place to haul wood, go to mill, and get up supplies, we ad vise the Commissioners to sow down i t least, one half the Farm, in wheat this Fall, and cultivate the remainder next year. This course presents itself the more favorable to our mind, as he will be required to hire very little out side of that which it has been found necessary to keep. From the report of the Commission er of the Poor, submitted to this bo dy, by that officer, we find that there have been twenty-seven inmates.— Three of that number have died, and two have been bound out, leaving now ; in that institution, twenty-two. Os that number, there are at least five who ought to be bound out to. such parties as will take them and raise them, learning them to work, giving them a fair English education, and such moral training as may be necessary. We opine it unnecessary to adduce any argument to -satisfy an intelligent people why this should be done, and yet, wo will simply.say, that we believe it impossible to raise a boy or girl in a Poor House, who will ever have any ambition to rise above the condition of a pauper; and we would respectfully recommend, that tho Ordinary of the County, take such steps as may be necessary, to bind out all able-bodied, healthy children, of five years of ago, and upwards, using precaution to get them into good, hu mane hands, where they will bo kindly treated, and requiring the parties irk ing them, to give a bend foi the faith ful discharge of their duty. We would also recommeud that the present Commissioner be retained, as he is now', to some extent, familiar with the business. Wo find in the Poor House, a ne~ f gro woman, nineteen years of age, with j a child eighteen months old, both ahle-. bodied, stout and healthy; for the ad mission of this class of our peoplo as beneficiaries of the County, we can find no excuse, and while we, as a body, are highly in favor of a well conducted House for o'ir indigent poor, yet, we must enter our protest against the ad mission of any and every able-bodied vagabond, who is too lazy to earn an honorable living. It has been with a great deal of la bor and patience that we have been enabled to make up a statement of the receipts, and expenditures of this es tablishment; the books are kept with out reference to any of the established rules in such cases, and we recommend that a suitable book or books, be pro cured, and furnished this officer, and that he be required to keep them in a plain, simple and practical manner, so that when called upon, ho may turn to his accounts, and in a moment, give a correct statement of his receipts, and disbursements. Wo find the expenditures, so far as they are furnished us by the Commis sioner of the Poor, amount to $1,117,- 16, as will more fully appear by refer ence to a sheet hereto attached, and marked, “A,” and his issues will fully ; appear by reference to a sheet hereto attached, and ruaiked “13.” The report from which these sheets i are compiled, are unaccompanied by | vouchers of any kind, either for rc | ceipts or disbursements, and while we j believe the Commissioner entirely hon i est, and upright in his intentions and : acts, we believe, for the security of ! his on n good name, he should furnish : vouchers for everything, and for the 1 security and pro tec ti >n of the County, I we recommend that they bo demand ed. Upon an examination of the Ordina ry's office, we find that r.o bond has been required of the Commi-sinner, and yet, there is a great deal entrust ed to his care. We made enquiry of the Ordinary, why there was no Lend required of this officer, li s reply was, that the h.w did not make, any provis ion for it, and that lve and and not feel that it was hia dntv to require it without ; some precedent were established; un | der this condition of things, we recom mend that the Ordinary require a bond from the Commissioner of the Poor, for, at least, double- the amount! in his hands at airy one time. We find there is a considered de quantity of rock in the old Piers, and abutments at the place win re the bridge formerly stood, near Douthilt’s Ferry, which are doiug no one anj good, and th.it persons are hauling then: off, and using them for their own private purposes, and we recommend that the Ordinary appoint a Commit tee of three, consisting of Jno. J. How ard, Dr. li. M. Young and Marcellas L. Pritchett, as a committee to dis pose of said Itock to the best advan tage, and return the proceeds to the Ordinary, and that ho be icquested to divide the proceeds between the County and those parties who sub scribed to build the bridge, in a just and equitable manner. In reviewing the present condition of our county, we are amazed at the great number of illegitimate children in our midst, and as we regard this one of the worst of evils, we earnestly recommend the Magistrates, through out the County, to be vigilant in the discharge of their duty, iu suppressing this crime, and when they find an ille gitimate child, issue a warrant, and have the mother arrested, and brought before him, and made to swear it, af ter which, the Father can be made tc give bond for the maintainance of the I child, and thereby save the County the expense of maintaining many pau per*, and also be a means of suppress ing this crime. We are satisfied that if our laws are strictly enforced, that is to say, if our Grand Juries are alive and active in the discharge of their duties in ferreting out crime, and bring ing offenders to Justice, and our ex-j ecutive officers are prompt to mete out and enforce me penalties of the law, that crime- will become scarce and criminals will hunt a more healthy climate iu which to ply their infamous games; and yet while we are discharg ing oar duty, and recommending oth ers to do so, we feel that our ardour, is to a very great extent damped by the indiscriminate use of the pardoning power, and especially when that power seems to us to be used to protect criminals, and cheat Justice out of her just dues. Owing to the great amount of bu siness before our body this week, we have been unable to examine the Books of the Ordinary’s o ice, the Treasurer’s office, and the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court, as well as the Tax Books, and will, from necessi ty, be forced to let this pail of our du ty lie over until the adjourned Term of this Court, when we hope to he able to discharge that task. We have been presented with a pe tition from our former Tax collector, Daniel S. Ford, who, it seems, in hie settlement, first with the Inferior Court and subsequently with tho Ordinary, fell short $3372.43, and for which, the I Ordinary issued a fi fa against said I Ford and added twenty per cent, as i required by Law'. We caused the Or ! dinary to come before us and explain | the matter, which he did, and us lie j showed he had acted entirely within the Law, we do not feel that we have j any right, or power, to take action in I tho matter, nor do wo think Mr. Ford ! lias any remedy, except to pay off the ! fi fa, (which he has nearly done), gua j | do so no more. j In taking leave of the Court, we feel; jit our duty to return thanks to our i presiding Judge, for his kindness, to! i this Body, and tho anxiety which he 1 has manifested, for the suppression of crime, the cultivation of morals, and | tho general peace and prosperity of : our county. To the Solicitor, for his kindness and courtesy, and for the 1 readiness which he has manifested to assist us, by his advice rnd council; and to the officers of Court, for their uniform courtesy to this Body.
