Theamcssk, Atlanta, Ga. m Dear Sib: The Board of Directors of the State National Bank, having an abiding faith in the Integrity and ability of the Representatives of the State of Georgia, and feel ing an earnest desire to protect the interest and credit of the State, have directed me to extend our mite by HUbecribing for twenty-five thousand dollars of the new bonds of the State now on the market. Very reapectfnlly yours, Jakes M. Ball, President. Culled States Commissioner’* Court, COMMISSIONER, W. B. SMITH. nis Honor W. B. Smith was busily engaged yester day in the investigation of cases of the United States against several parties charged with violating the rev enue laws by illicit distilling. John Bussell, John Evans and Isaac Haynes, charged with carrying on the business of distilling without paying the special tax required by law, were required, after bearing the evi dence adduced, to give bond each in the sum of five hundred dollars for their appearance at the next teim of the United States Court, then and there to abide their final trial for the offense alleged against them. They were all from Gilmer county, and were repre sented in au able manner by Colonel Phillips* of Marietta. Judge Smith very properly often admonishes parties who are brought before him''to desist from the practice of distilling contrary to the law, reminding them of the inconvenience of lo doing. Justices* Courts. The magistrates were generally reclining on the dig nity of their positions during the day yesterday, not being troubled with anything outside of civil buai- neea, such ae possessory and distress warrants. Judge Monday was the only magistrate among the honored list who could introduce this reporter to scenes of ter or and festivity. It is ever thus that soma of them come to our rescue. Lucinda Wooten, a woman of color, was so unfortu nate as to be arraigned before this last named gentle- on the charge of assault and battery, alleged have been committed by her upon person of one Minerva Wilson, a female equally as deeply colored as herself, on the 13th instant, on the very eve of the assembling of the Governors' Convention. Think you Strangs that she should have been called upon to answer such an al leged gross violation of propriety, because of the peculiar circumstances that ;snrroundel her in com mon with others ? The prosecutrix came into court, and like all sensible people, employed an attorney. Col. Thompson, to assist her in her efforts against the defendant. She than, together with several oth ers, proceeded to testify powerfully against suspected disturber of the public tran quility and equanimity, but when the evidence e other side was introduced, a.And the arguments of counsel made, the warrant was with drawn at the instance of the prosecution, and the cost of the prosecutrix. Jeesee Thrasher represented the defense. Police Court.

They will of course pass through Atlanta and we wiil extend them a cordial greeting. A Successful Festival. Wc are informed by Reverend Frank Quarles that the strawberry festival given at Friendship Church Monday evening last, for defraying the expenses of the Church, was well attended, and that the proceeds from the same amounted to $121.05. We are glad to note this evidence of liberality on the part of t l »e colored people in a commendable enterprise. GRAND PICNIC EXCURSION From Atlanta to Newnan- Saturday Next, the Time. RECORDER . F. HAMMOND. Owing doubtless to the superior attractions cf the Canal Convention, the reception of the Recorder was net so well attended on yesterday morning as on many former occasions—in fact, but two delinquents had been summoned to the bar of justice, and they came promptly and sainted the presiding J udge when an interview was proposed by each of them, which result ed in the Recorder’s getting mad, we suppose, as his future conduct was peculiar for that ot say man ex cept a judicial officer. J. W. Stockton, charged with being disorderly, quarreling and using profane language, was pro nounced guilty and fined ten dollars and coats. A. Zachary plead guilty to being drunk on streets, and was required to leave five dollars and costs &s a security for future good behavior. Frightful Railroad Accident!

The inward bound passenger train, of which Captain Doolittle was the conductor, due at this city half an hour before one o’clock yesterday morn ing, and which was delayed and did not arrive until sight o’clock in the afternoon, when few miles above Graysviile, and while running at the rate of fifteen miles per hour, was run into by an press through freight. The freight was ahead of schedule time, being at 6:13 p. m. three miles above Graysviile, when it was only due at the latter place at 6:25 p. M. The two trains should have met and passed at Grayaville. Previous to being struck the air breaks had been placed on the passenger train, and it was almost, if not entirely, stopped when the collision occurred. The freight, on the contrary, waa running rapidly. The engines ot each were greatly injured, but fortunately no person waa hurt, and the boxes of the cars were not damaged to any considerable extent.

Means, in his usual fervent style. The President asked delegates who had arrived since the adjournment to present their credentials to the Secretary. Col. C. Peeples offered the following resolution: Tiiat certain plans, surveys and maps which A. K. Owens, civil engineer, of PennaylvMrio, ha*, be referred to BnslneM Committee. Adopted.

Colonel Hardeman announced that m he was called away Colonel C. Peeples would act as chairman of the Georgia delegation. Colonel Forman thought the business committee ought not to be overburdened, otherwise they would get no report to-day from the committee. Colonel Pope of Brunswick offered a series of reso lutions, comprehending the need »f capital in the South; the disorganization of her labor system; the necessity for the accumulation of large amounts of capital South, and the duty of the whole country to aid in the development of Southern resources; also the primary duty of Southern men to keep struggling for this end tbemselve*. Tbe Chair informed the gentleman that ‘-cheap transportation waa the only mAter before tbe Conven tion.” Col. Pope asked leave of the Convention to introduce the resolutions and have them referred to a commit tee. Objected to by CoL V. A. Q ask ill, who admired the matter, but thought tbe resolutions not germ&in to cheap transportation. Ruled ont of order. The Committee on Business not being prepared to report, Col. Peeples announced that Gov. Hendricks,of Indiana,wm in the hall, and moved that he be request, •d to address the Convention. Carried amid a perfect storm of applause. The Governor responded by thanking tbe Conven tion for tbe very flattering reception given him, but declined to make any extended remarks. A motion to take a recess wm lost, aud the ball tickets were distributed. Everybody seemed glad to get them, the younger delegates especially going for them like hot cakes. Gov. 'Woodson offered a resolution of thanks to the cities of Rome, Brunswick, Augusta and Macon, aud to tbo various railroad companies for conrtesies ex tended, and regrets that the excursion must be fore gone. Adopted. Governor James M. Smith, of Georgia, as Chairman of the Committee on Business, submitted the major- jty report, which waa a memorial to the United States Congress, setting forth the necessity existing in the South and West, for cheap transportation between those great sections. Showing that the producers in both sections suffer immense annual loss, for want of water communication, and by reason of tbe monopo lies existing in the management of railroads, and praying Congress to grant such aid and encourage ment to the Atlantic and Great Western Canal, the James River Canal, and the Niagara Ship Canal, they might deem best. (The Atlantic and Great West- aimply asks Government endorsement, to secure the payment of interest on their bonds, and propose to indemnify the Government by first mortgage on the canal.) Tbe minority of the Committee submitted a report setting forth that inasmuch as the Government was Mked furnish money or its equivalent, that the Government of the United States ought to have exclusive control of the various renals, and recommending this Con vention to requelt the Government to construct aud manage these great works. Governor Smith moved the adoption of the majority report. On motion, the reports were received and commit tee discharged. Colonel Tomlinson Fort, of Tennessee, moved the adoption of the minority report as a substitute for the majority report—supporting the motion in speech of considerable ability. Colonel Peeples thought it would not do at all as substitute, when— Colonel Fort withdrew that motion, and moved to amend majority report by adding “minority report to it. General Garlington moved to lay the minority port on the table, bnt afterwards withdrew the mo tion. A gentleman from Virginia explained the plan of the Jamea River Canal,and concurs in the majority report thought the Government ought to control the public highways when bnilt by public money. This question does not properly arise here. Col, L. A- Tbomu, of lows, favors the majority port; thinks the principles of minority right but mis applied here. Mr. James, of Tennessee, stated that he had canal to represent [applause by Tomlinson Fort] thinks tbe canal can be constructed without Govern ment aid. Hon. W. P. Price favored the adoption of majority report; spoke of the efforts of tho corporators of the Atlantic and Great Western Canal.

Gwen, Civil Engi neer, concerning an lnter-oosaafe canal, waa re ferred back without recommendation. Colonel Peeples did not see wliat disposition could be made of it now, wished some proper action could be had upon it. General P. M. B. Young called for Governor Wood- son, of Missouri. He responded in a very eloquent effort. Tbe Governor thought no one need be uneasy about private corporation controlling the trade in the pro ducts of the MiMiHippi Valley and of the South.

Cathcart Taylor, city editor of tbe Philadelphia Press, who was so strangely con victed and sentenced for alleged libel, bas been granted a new trial. The Age suspects this will never take place, and says that the wrong to the individul defendant is, perhaps, repaired by this setting aside of the verdict, but tbe wrong to public justice remains. General Beauregard sees iu immigration the only sore release for Lonutena from tbe politico dissensions and antagonisms among its own people, and ha urges the immediate holding of a convention to secure it, advising that it entirely discards politics and adopt measures which will palliate the present anxi eties and afflictions of tbe people, and nlti mutely restore peace and prosperity.

It is a family matter with which we do not ear# to meddle.

For these rosso ns, and because we do not wish to injure the feelings of the relatives of tbe deceased, we decline to answer the question. ” Address of Governor Hendrick*. At nine o’clock last night at the Kimball House, Governor Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana, in re sponse to an invitation from a committee from the Convention, appeared at the base of the main stair way and made an eminently practical and pertinent address. He expressed himself as in fall sympathy with the movement looking to the construction of a canal to connect the MiMissippi and its tributaries with the Atlantic, and gave many cogent reasons showing the importance and utility of each an enterprise. Stated that two days on the road from Indiana to Georgia re minded him of tho great distance which he had traveled, but that the presence of people speaking the same language, and obeying the same Conatitu" tion and laws, seemed to annihilate this distance, and impressed him with the conviction that he wm among his countrymen and friends*and that he pMsed on this occasion none of the feelings of a stranger (• voice: " You are no stranger to Georgians ”); that it would be a mutual benefit to the Western farmer who could find ready sale for his abundant produce, corn, wheat, bacon, etc., and to the Southern planter, who, being able to obtain his supplies at a low price, could avail themselves to a greater extent of tbe profits and productions of the rich cotton fields, for which they could find ready sale iu Europe, [and the price gold; that a resumption of specie payments could only be effected when our exports exceed in value our imports. That this would bring gold to the United States, whereas now it is concentrating in the old world. That this connection of the two tlons is suggested by nature; and that It wm soundest principles and policy to avail ourselves of its facilities; and that whether the hopes of Gov. Smith and others who have wisely inaugurated investigation of the great project are real ized as to the precise method of construction the line of the route, the essential work will be accomplished. [Applause.] I would see yoq Geor gians make two bales of cotton where you now make only one, lor the reason that it not only benefits you but also the whole North, East and West, which Is common country, sp aklng one language and having a common interest in the success of each, and a common destiny, by bringing gold and wealth into the country. [Great applause.] This enterprise will unite us peimanently—cause ua to feel an interest iu each other, and forever make us in fact, what we are now lu language—one people. It ia needless to state that the remarks of this truly distinguished, eminent, and representative Western man, were listened to with marked attention, for all recognize that in him the canal project haa an eernest and powerful friend. He ia one of the nobleat specimens of manhood, tall, graceful, and of easy and agreeable address, and pos sesses a countenance indicating and beaming with frankness and honesty. Though apparently not more than forty-five years of age, he is perhaps the most prominent man in all the great West, and his prospects for reaching the Presidency of the United States are none of the worst. Long may he live to serve his State and country, m efficiently in the future as ho hu already done iu the past poa* of carrying ou, aidfctff or assisting in any pursuit or btwinaai not connected with the prase, be expelled from this atsocUtifta. J. H. Christy returned thanks to the association, in behalf of General Duff Green, for courtesies extended. J. W.
