The Atlanta Journal.—We have re ceived several numbers of this newspa per, but through an oversight failed to mention it. We gladly place it npon our exchange list. It is devoted, in a great measure to commercial matters and will be found of much service to our business men besides containing much useful iu- 1 formation and interesting reading matter for the general reader. Its market re ! ports are very foil and correct. | Adjourned —The Legislature of this State adjourned on last Friday night. This was the first legal legislature we have had lor several years. Our people have had, for the first time, since the advent of Carpetbag rule, representatives of tlieir own choice. The consequence is that the I session just terminated has been charac terized by honesty, economy and hard w ork. Much has been accomplished, but it will take many years to undo and recti fy the senseless and corrupt legislation of Bullock, Blodgett A Co’s regime. The Scientific American. —We pub lish, in this week’s paper, the prospectus of the Scientific American. This weekly journal, is one which is an absolute ne cessity to the Mechanic who desires to succeed. To the man of Science it is in dispensiblc, ami to the general reader is full of iuterest. It is the best paper of the kind published, and its low price places it within the reach of every one We unhesitatingly recommend it to our readers. It can lie obtained by subscrib ing through our News Ageut Mr. Henry Cordes. without the risk and expense of transmitting money by mail or express. A Mistake and ax Explanation.— In our last weeks issue, in the article under the caption of more Police Force, we spoke of the present incumbent of the position of Tow n Marshall ns efticient. We were, at the time, under the impres sion that a change had been made in the office, but have since learned that the gentleman whom we supposed had been appointed to the place, was acting only temporarily, and that the whole duty of keeping good order in the town still rests upon the shoulders of our former quiet and peaceable friend. We therefore re tract the whole of the above mentioned article, mid say let the old tow n get on the best she can, and let all her citizens who wish to do so continue to pay taxes a id suffer from rowdyism.

Two passenger and three 'might ears wi re badly smashed. For unately the passenger ears sustained little damage and no one injured. The road was badly torn up. The cause .if the •leeident is unknown. It is seldom that even a trivial accident happens upon our road, w hich c all only be accounted for liv lie skill, carefulness and faithful atten ion of Mr. Shelverton the engineer. The Election In Wilkes. —The elec tion passed .off on last Tuesday without a shallow of excitement, and with the 101 l .wing results; Votes polled at Washington, 302; at Centrevill, 74; Danburg, 03 ; Delhi, (12; Malnrysville, 08; Tyrone, 27; Total 026. All the votes in the county, were for lion. J. M. Smith, and all, with the exception ot about fifty, were by whites. The number polled is very j.-mall for a county which hag over j two thousand registered voters. The no tice however was short, and all those who do not subs tribe for their county paper, the Washington Gazette, did not know that it was election day. Such blessed ignorance will always be the fate of such men. OUTRAGE J ON PERSONAL LIB ERTY. A History of the Malicious and Vil lainous Prosecution of the Dade County P. Loner i. Ail of Northeast Georgia has for some, days been anxiously awaiting the result of the investigation of the charges preferred against about thirty-five of the most re spectable citizens of Dude county. Two of these prisoners I ave been bound over in tin sum of $2,500 each for trial by one of the United States Commissioners of this place. Indignation w ill succeed sur prise when it is announced that the ex pounder ol the law which has been so contorted and mutilated to implicate these prisoners, was one venerable (?) John L. Conley, a stripling of, perhaps, fottr anil-twenty summers, w ho, when he was expounding the law tothe learned counsel in this case, presented the picture of a child teaching Solon; who also received $11,500 from the State Treasury for about SIOO worth of work. We had opportunities of conversing with the prisoners, witnesses, and other citizens of Dade, who were not arraigned in this examination, and from them we have obtained the following reliable and impartial explanation of this unfounded prosecution of the honest and innocent citizens of the county of Dade. It seems that one Asa Boydston, living on the line of Alabama and Georgia, but within Alabama during the war, too cow ardly to volunteer as a soldier, frequented the mountains, and at every opportunity committed thefts, robbed defenseless wo men and helpless children, and ravaged the homes of families of soldiers in the army, and was guilty of innumerable dep redations not tolerated by any civilized government. After the war, being sev eral times detected in thieving and other misdemeanors, he soon forfeited the re spect of every honest man in the vicinity. During this winter he very suddenly left the county, but returned about two weeks ago in company with one James Skjdes, who seemed to be employed by the Government for arresting parties un der the Ku-Klux acts of Congress, and under the proclamations of Bullock, to get the rewards offered. Arriving at Trenton, Dade county, Boydston pointed out Sir. R. Haney, who was immediately arrested and placed under guard of a squad of United States soldiers. They then proceeded to Rising Fawn and arrested the postmaster, J. G. Hale, in the act of distributing the mail; J. W. Blevins, Road Commissioner, in the act of writing out his report; and fif teen or twenty more, who were closely and busily engaged in their respective duties, who were not allowed time for preparation in the bitterly cold weather that was then prevailing. Many of the prisoners were compelled to pass the frigid night without shelter and without blankets around a smouldering camp fire, which was but a poor protection in the tempestuous winds that howled among those mountainous regions. Til? party next proceeded to Chatta nooga, where all were committed to pris on, except T. W. Sharrock and W. P. Sharrock, who were last seen with the j United States Commissioners. It is sup posed that, liv cajoling, threats and prom ises, these two persons were persuaded to turn Government evidence. They were treated with clemency, and even with special kindness, while all the other pri soners were allowed a bare pittance of fil thy food and w ere confuted in cells which barely admitted the bodies of six men ly ing on their sides. One of the prisoners testified that, while lying down, it was impossible for one man to move without the simultaneous movement of every in mate of the room. While there the offi cer, and commissioners used every device and all their eloquence to persuade one ol the younger sons of Colonel li. 11. Tatum—a man of cxtemied influence—to turn Government evidence, doubtless hoping that a confessor or treacherous and malicious testimony from such an esteemed and reliable source would con vict a host ol innocent citizens. They urged that he ought not “in the bloom of his youth,” to accept certain imprison ment, when the opportunity was present ed to escape. Young Tatum, wilt, indig nation, replied that lie would at ff-r the horrors of a lifetime impiisomnen. In lore he would testily against Ins owl , ighhors and involve then inneiinu illicit, if ever perpetrated at all, was no avly without their countenance, lint with ■ lilt their knowledge. 11 is- malicious tempters said they would make no more efforts. “If the younger Tatum would not yield, it was useless to appeal to tl c oiiic'r.” So their efforts in that, direction were baffled ; but they were more success ful with t ie. two Sharroeks, who both turned Government evidence. The prisoners were then brought to this place, and all, with the exception of a few, were committed to prison. They all assert that they wire arrested nil hum being notified of the reason or the cause of the arrest. The officers intimated that they were sitbpmin.cd as witnesses (Their treatment afterwards was such as to make them feel they were regarded as galley slaves ) Our readers have, doubtless, read the proceedings of the investigation of Fri day. Yesterday the Commissioner (the venerable)?) John L. Conley, required YV. Fell. Tatum to give a bond of $2,500 for his appearance at Court, because, lie said, lie liberty of Sevier Powell had been voi ded, but lie did not state Unit ids rights, mder he Enforcement Act, had been in ■'ringed upon, under which act- alone the warrant was issued. Judges of the law, when committing prisoners, generally a sign some reason lor their action. O. YV. M. Tatum was next arraigned. The testimony of Friday was reilerftteu, and he also was required to give a bond of $2,500 for his appearance at Court. The counsel for prosecution then gave, notice he would abandon the prosec li lion of all the other prisoners, having no evidence against them. The following named prisoners were then discharged: \V. P. Slim-rock, R. Haney, \V. L. Blew ait, \V. P. Amos, A. Meliryan, J. Mon land, J. YV. Blevins and J. <!. Hale. A warrant was tlu n issued for the ar rest of Mr. James A. O’Neal for-violating the Enforcement Act. but owing to a delect, it was soon dismissed. Mr. 11. T. Wilson and M. Nichols appeared and said they had been arrested and were unable, to say for w hat purpose. There was no charge against them. Conley professed ignorance of the transaction, and these persons who had been arraigned for noth ing wertf permitted to depart without any apology or any explanation for lids abuse of their time, honor, and liberty. No reparation for lost time and days of hun ger, privation and anxiety. This is heap ing insult on injury, and only becomes accountable when we consider that it was all done at the instigation of a fanatical press whose policy and purpose is to op pose and insult our people. The following are the names of the prisoners and tlieir post-offices, being thirty-five in all: Rising Fawn.— Col. R. 11. Tatum, G. YY'. M. Tatum, YY r . P. 11. Tatum, Frauois M. Street, Alfred Street, Gallatin Stephens, Rice Bibles, George Houston, Shade Hale, J. G. Hale Ben Buck, A. B. Hanna. Rev. IL D. Stephens, Rev. S. Cross, YV. L. Stewart, Lee S. Tidwell, Jonathan Blev ins, lion. J. YV. Cureton. Trenton —Hon. E. D. Graham, Hon. Leroy Sutton, Judge M. Nicholas, R. Haney, James O’Neal, S. YV. Hale, ILL. YY r . Allison, P. A. Patum, 11. T. Wilson, J. YV. O’Neal (Sneritf.) WANHATcniB —lion. R. M. Paris. Turned Witness for Government—T. YY’. Sharrock, W. P. Sharrock, John Me- Kaig, P. Sevier Powell, Asa Boydston. Colonel 11. 11. Tatum asserts that these prisoners were arraigned without any knowledge of the cause, and that only four or five knew about what they were to testify. Items. —Jno. McKaig, who is represent ed as the Grand Cyclops of the Ku-Klux den, (so-called) in Dade county, we learn was a member of the Loyal League. YY’. P. Sharrock, who turned Government evi dence, we leant’ was almost naked w hen arrested. Mr. A. B. Tatum, clerk of the Superior Court, provided him with a full suit of clothes; yet Sharrock showed his gratitude)?) after arriving here, by volun tarily testifying against Mr. Tatum’s brother. P. Sevier Powell belonged to what was termed the Home Guard, which, during the war, robbed the homes of help less women. Asa [Boydston, the sjeiet agent employed to make thes arrests, is a reputed thief, and a warrant has been issued in the State of Alabama for bis arrest under charges of thieving and abusing his family. Such arc the wit nesses —reputed thieves and robbers, and subsidised recreants l he bondsmen of W. P. 11. and G. YV, M. Tatum are R. II Tatum, Larkey Payne, and Leroy Sutton, representing property to the amount of $150,000 to $200,000. The entire party left last night on the 104 o’clock train. Governor Brown gave them reduced transportation to Chatta nooga. This is not the first time he has f.vored worthy individual! in similar dis iressing circumstinces, for which he has tlieir cell deseried thanks. It seems to be the custom of United States officials to drag good men from their homes under false charges, without providingjthem with means for their re turn. The Doomed Northwest. After the tornadoes of summer (Cow per discerned in the tornadoes of the West Indies a judgment against slavery) and the fires ot autumn, the Northwest might have expected a respite; but now we hear of freezing to death on the plains, and of lake cralt encountering the perils of the Arctic seas. The following dis patch, to a Chicago paper, presents an incident of the season ; Detroit, Mich.. Decemlier 9.—A special dispatch from Bay City reports the schooner Crosthwaite, of Chicago, as having been drifting about in the i4e on Saginaw Bay all this" week. On Thurs day, her provisions having become nearly exhausted, and the bulwarks of the vessel having been nearly all burned up for fuel, the first mate, named Johnson, and six seamen left her and started tor the shore over the ice. They had to travel six miles, jumping from cake to cake. Two of them fell in but were rescued al most dead with cold. On reaching land the party spent one night without lire in a deserted Indian liut, and then walked inland to Standish. and thence went by cars to Bay City. They report the schooner as now fast in the ice two miles off Sand Point, w ith her captain, Thomas Martin, the second mate, and the cook, a woman, still on board. Efforts will be made to rescue them.—[Mobile Register. EXECUTOR'S SALE. YT7ILL bo sold on first Tuesday in Jan * I nary Four Mules belonging to the estate ot N. YY'vlie. JOHN T. WINGFIELD, Executor.
