The work originally published under the title of The Now American Cyclopaedia was completed in 1863, since which time the wide circulation it has attained in all parts of the United States, and the signal developments .which, have taken place in every branch of science, literature, and art, have induced the editors and publishers to submit it to an exact and thorough revision, and to issue a new edition entitled The American Cyclop2b- dia. Within the last ten years the progress of dis covery in every department of knowledge has made a new work of- reference an imperative want. .

Mr; Elimball. denies that he received from the Fourth National Bank, of New York, during the year' 1871, any bonds whatever of the State of Geor gia, and in support of that statement introduces a telegram from the cash ier of that bank. EEs statement is nevertheless untrue, as -is shown by the following facts: On the 25th of July, 1871, one A.S. "Whiton, of New York, received under order from Gov. Bullock, on the Fourth National Bank, 3100,000 in Georgia gold bonds. In receiving these bonds from the bank, Whiton was the agent’of H. X. Kimball, al though it does not appear that this fact was known to the officers of the bank when the bonds were delivered to him (Whiton).

It will be remembered that on Sun day last we called attention to Mr. Kimball’s singular omission of all men tion of the bonds held by J. Boorman Johnson & Go., of New York. We now piopTse to show where ha got those bonds from, and to demonstrate that life was guilty of deliberate fraud upon the State. 1. The bonds given to Mr. Kim ball, on account of the purchase of •tlie capitol building, were 8250,000 of currency bonds, issued under the> act of 27th of August, 1870. These bonds were issued for temporary purposes only, to be used as collateral, and he was not allowed to sell them. He subse quently received 3250,000 regular gold quarterly bonds, in payment for -the capitol building, and agreed, to retu'rn' tbe currency bonds, received as above seated, to the treasury, cancelled. Sis written agreement to this effect is now in the Executive Department. Hav- ng obtained these bonds, Mr. Kim ball, in October, 1870, hypothecated 3120,000 of them to J. B lorman John son & Co., to cover a loan • of 384,000. On the 3d of August, 1S71, he re-hy pothecated the same bonds ns security for an extension of tlie loan. The above facts appear from records in »lie Executive office, and also from testi mony published in the report of the committee on the official conduct of Governor Bullock. Under date of March 20, 1871, Kim ball wrote to Bullock from New York, as follows; “I have the pleasure to iuform you that, the lithographed bonds of the State, given to bo used temporarily as collateral while the regular engraved gold bonds were being prepared and issued, have now been exchanged, and ■ tlie. lithographed bondo’ turner over to Messrs; Henry Clews & Co., financial, agents of the State, for can cellation and return to you.”' The lithographed bonds referred to in this letter were the same as the cur rency bonds above-mentioned;'and the —‘ - '.v “tatemeut of Mr. Kimball "that theae carred, involving nnUona, of I ~: ; , , , ,, moment The civil war of our own country. | SJ ■ , . {j een exchanged and the which was at' its liciglit wlien the last, ■volume of - tho old work appeared , has happily been ended, Rod a new course of commercial and.' industrial Kimball, and that afterwards, as the agent of H. L Kimball, or of H. L Kimlm.il & Co., he pledged the bonds with the New York Loan and Trust Company, as security for a loan of 375,000. So while Mr. Kim ball did not receive these bonds in propriv matter, lie did receive them through his agent, and appropriate them to his own rise, or tff the use of H. I. Kimball & Co. From the b est information which can be obtained, this little transaction of Mr. Kim ball’s cost the State 875,000.—Atlanta News. activity has been commenced.

In preparing the present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to wring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the nicst recent discoveries in science, of every fresh production in literature, and of the newest inven tions in the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of the progress of political and historical events.

As appears fr©m the fore going' statement, 8120,000 of these bonds, instead of being returned to Clews & Co., for cancellation, were, a short time after the date Kimball’s letter to Bullock,, pledged by the f or. mer to J. Boorman Johnson & Co., as security tor the loan of OS4,000. The same bonds were re-pledged to that firm by Kimball in August following, and are still in its hands—a claim against the State of Georgia. The ambnnt -received by Kimball on account of the purchase of the Opera House stands as follows; 8120.000 currency bonds of the State, unredeemed, tu the hands of J. Boorman Johnson & Co. 5250.000 gold quarterly bonds of the State. 8130.000 city of Atlanta bonds. 860.000 unredeemed mortgage upon the building, in favor of the North western Life Insurance Company. §54,000 advances by Governor Bol lock to Kimball, to enable him to fin ish the building. These items foot np the sum of 8614,- 000. The city of Atlanta has assum ed the settlement of the mortgage in favor of the Northwestern Life Insti ranee Company: Deducting this, leaves 8554,000 which the capitol building will cost the State, including the bonds in the handj of J. Boorman Johnson & Oo.; which, it is believed by many, the State will finally he obliged to redeem. The contract price for the capitol Was 8350,000, 8250,000 of which was to be paid in State bonds, and 8100,000 in bonds of the city of Atlanta; bat the foregoing statement shows that Kimball got the neat little sum of 8364,000 in excess Are these gentlemen aware tlmt theyhave placed themselves in the position of endor sers of a man: publicly accused of de liberate dishonesty, and of the fact of tenor.

A one-legged soldier walking up the Bowery yesterday was accosted by a clothing merchant with the usual “Sell-you something to-day5” Enter ing the store the veteran was invited to inspect the large stock, but having looked through the array of coats and vests and trousers,. he turned to go, saying that he saw nothing there that would suit him. : “Veil, vat yon vauts?” “I want a pair of one-legged pan taloons?” “Vos dat all? Yucob bring me one of dem one legged gray pants, on dot pile in de corner.” In a few minntes Jacob returned and reported that the last pair had been sold. Meanwhile the partner next door, who had been listening through the thin partition, had mapped out a plan ol campaign against the one-legged cripple; Yohn,” he whispered to an atten dant, “cut me off de leg of one of dem gray pants. Send him up quick ” By the time this had been done the soldier had hobbled out of the first store only to be inveigled into the -second. Again he went through the inspection of odds and ends and again demanded one-legged trousers, inti mating that he didn’t believe the trade had them. Not hiif one-legged pants! Fad- der Moses, vat you take me for?— Yohn bring me one of dem one-legged gray pants in dot pile in tbe back of de shtore.” The ni w’y filtered trousers were pro duced and the waggish soldier gave himself up as lost. But as he spread them before him‘he became conscious, as did the dealer, of something wrong. - “Mien Gott ! ! Fadder Abraham ! John! you haf ruin me! You haf cut off de wrong leg!” This was probably the same dealer who was called upon by a yonng man for a coat. A fit was made in due time, and then came, the haggling about the price. First twenty dollars was fixed, and then the; clothier aba ted dollar after doHiiil ’fighting his way inch by inch, until at length be had offered the garment at eight dol lars. “Do yon think I’m made, of mon ey?” asked the young man indignant ly as he turned to depart. -1 “Sav, yon come pack!

Spblit de difrance make it twenty shillings!” jf “No. I'll give von two dollars. “Yell, take him! It was a.pooty coat. You give me two and a quar ter, eh?” ,, ! Producing the two dollars, the youBg man moved away wita his pur chase; but as be reached the door he heard the dealer exclaim, with v lifted bands: _ . ii JPS “Gott help me! .1 only make me dollar on dot coat!” Another of the Chatham street dea ers had wliat he called army brogans and cavalry boots. An ex-soldier pur chased a pair of the latter one rainy day, but returned to the store within a few minutes, complaining that the soles were of pasteboard and had al ready soaked to a pulp. “Vot you vds done mit dem boots/ asked the dealer. “Why, I • Walked two blocks.” ., - <- . . t “Talk!

We ask ihese gentlemen, in all se- riousness, how dare-they to compro mise the citizens of Atlanta before the people of Georgia, and before the entire country, by so ill-considered an act of weakness as this? It is their right to imperil their own reputations, if they will; but they are derelict ii.* their duty as citizens when they rec ommend to the government the en trusting of money into the hands of a man whose character for dishonesty is notorious, and who is only free from the chain-gang because of the inefficiency of our laws. What has H. L Kimball done for Atlanta that respectable men should be found endorsing him? Is it be cause he plundered the State and city_ of thousands of dollars, and built the Capitol and the Kimball House with the proceeds of his plunder? ; If this is the real reason, then the signers of this petition seek deliberately to plnce the people of Atlanta in the attitude of’accessories to Kimball’s dishonesty; for, if we are to endorse him because he lias invested tlie proceeds of his robberies here, then we are as corrupt as he is, and as guilty of his thefts as he is. It is an old saying: ‘‘The receiver is 'as' bad as the- thief.” We say it deliberately aud -riuliesi - fittingly that the''Kimball House and Capitol, and allMhe money spent to build them, are so many evidences of our shame. They are monuments commemorative of the day when- Georgia lay bound and at the mercy of thieves and scoundrels. But for the robberies perpetrated by Bollock, Kimball and the rest of the Radical thieves, they never could have been built. Is the heritage of shame which they embody the reason why we must endorse H. I: Kimball for a position under the Government? Shame, shame! This petition is a damning shame and disgrace to the people of Atlanta. In the name of a great majority of our citizens we ut terly repudiate it. The persons who have signed it do not' represent the views and sentiments of fonr-fifths of the wealth, the intelligence, and the honesty of this city. Their signa tures represent tlieir individual act, and that ect is in defiance of the will of the people. Why was it necessary to bring Mr. Kimball from his needle factory in 'Massachusetts to superintend the building of a Custom House here?— Are there not dozens of. honest men in our midst quite as capable cf su perintending it? If a gentleman af filiating with the Republican party is necessary for the work, is there not more than one upright, honest Re publican in Atlanta, quite as capable of doing the work? ' Why not petition for the appointment of a man like Mr. Markham, or Major George Chamber- Republican in good standing? We warn the gentlemen who have signed this petition that neither --their wealth nor their social standing will protect them from the responsibility of tbeir act. ’l’liey cannot pat in a plea of ignorance, because they are well aware that the charges brought against Kimball are founded on evi dence now on file in the Executive Department of the- State. It is for tnnate for this; city that an over whelming majority of our best citi zens positively refused to sign the, petition, not a few of them accompa nying the declination with tolerably emphatic expressions of opinions con cerning Mr. Kimball’s character.— The handful of well known and prom inent citizens who have been persua ded into signing it will deeply regret their weakness before long. They will find that it is easier to make a false stop than repair a blunder.—At- Probable visible supply to 31st Dec., 1874.;:../......... ...896,392 Average weekly deliveries to tbe trade from this date to 31st Dec., 36, 720, at 25 weeks -.. 918,000 Average weekly’export to to 31st Dec., 2,000/ at 25 weeks... .50,000 ——968,000 Visible deficiency on 31st Dec., 1874 71j6»3 “I may observe that most of the fiigures are taken from the Cotton Brokers’ circular, while the others are perhaps under estimating than otherwise and with this position of af fairs I consider that holders have no cause for further sacrificing their in terests, even if they calculate on the growing crop turning out four mill ions of bales, which I think an -ex treme estimate.

In respect to this it -is' piily .necessary to -repeat what we said, on Saturday, ih it the area of laud planted this year with cotton is ten per cent lees than Inst year, aiid that few or no fertilizers have been used this year, so that, nn der the most favorable conditions as to weather and natural enemies of the cotton plant, it does not appear to be possible that tlie now cropeau amount to more than three millions of bales. The incorrectness of the assumption increases the strength of the writer’s argument against a further decline in the prices of cotton, and brings bis conclusion in a still closer agreement with onr own. Second. It ought to be tlie eanse’of general regiet that it is in ‘lie power of a handful of speculative gentlemen who buy what they do not want-and sell what they have not. got, to lower •by ficticioas means .the price of the great agricutnral staple of the.South ern States and to depress trade in the principal cotton market of the world. It is true that these artificial combi- nations must giye way when the pre cise amount of the new cropikgenerally known, because, trade, like water inva riably finds its level; but ii the mean time the approaching autumn trade in all commodities which find a mar ket in.the Southern States is seriously threatened by this forced and unreas onable,but partly'successful effort to lower the price of, cotton. A month lost at the beginning of the general, antnmn trade, added to' the wide spread depression undei which all business has struggled during the s iring aid- snmmer, cannot be re- gaiued; even if, in -October or No- lin, or Mr. J. C. Peck, or any other. vem ijer, t-he priee of cotton should ad vance to twenty-five cents a .pound. As long, however, as betting on the price of cotton is regarded as an hon- orable occupation, so long there is little use in protesting, whether it be in the name of -the planters of the Sonrthern States or in the name of the merchants and trades.peoplo of our own community.:—N Y.

They happened' to speak of the side-walk, when the coipulent citizen pointed his caue to tbe left of the goat and said, “That is the _ worst piece of side-walk in this town.” The goat had been eyeing the cane, and the moment it came up he lowered his head, made six or eight jnmps and his bead struck: the .corpulent gentleman on the belt. The man went over into a mass of old tin, dilapidated blitter-kegs and aban doned hoop skirts, and the goat turned a somersault the other way, while the slim-citizen threw stones at a small pby L seatcd' on. a ;door-step, and who was langhingjiears as big as chesnrits and crying ont: “Oh ! it’s ndff to kill a feller!” A ter t e - States is greater-than- the iror product.- The following 8‘atistics-will be of interest: Dnring the year 1870 there Were in the Uni ted States 4,237 tanners and 3.0S2 ertr lying establishments, employing 30,- 811 men, and using 255,350 cords of bark. A capital of 855,024,390 was invested in the business, and the ng- gate slim of 512,088,430 was paid as wages to workmen. The valne of the product exceeded 8286,000,000, while the value of the iron business was less than 8100,000,000, of the cotton man ufacturers less than 178,000,000. To a greater extent than most other arti cles, leather when worn' ont, is an ab solute loss, as it cannot be utilized: to any great extent. Iron and most of other articles above mentioned, when worn ont, are utilized and perform important’functions in the economy of uses. Sp'ri'ualism vVitchc af .
