THE ATLANTUdAILY HERALD HAS THE LAR8EST CIRCULATION OF ANY PAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF GEORGIA. I jiff I : ||S g g88 _ 58588 l.ggSSSggSgl A correspondent desires to know whether Marshal MacMahon was taken prisoner at Sedan or cut his way through the German lines, “as some will have it?” Those who will have it so evidently have not read history carefnlly. MaeMahon was dangerously wound ed by a piece of shell early on the day of the battle, and was succeeded in command of the army by General de Wimpffen. He was in cluded in the forces that surrendered, bat was not removed from France for many weeks, his wonnd keeping him confined to his bed. On his recovery he went to Germany ahd re mained a prisoner until the surrender. As ominous cry is coming up from Paris. Bread is scarce, and so high that the poorer classes find it hard to purchase. The Quar ter Montmartre and the Qnartier Belleville are consequently growling, and it does not take a great deal to start them at barricade making. When Napoleon III. was on the throne he never permitted the cry of high prices of food to be heard in Puns, because he knew well enough that as long ns the wo men of the lower classes could obtain bread cheap, they would remain contented. Mac- Mukon’s government will doubtless stop the growling by reducing or abolishing the octroi duty, and thus enabling the people to pur chase bread cheap, for should the price con tinue high, or increase further, he will soon have another first-c^ass insurrection on his han 1. NEW YORK NEWS. Colonizing Port Royal—Present to M. Thiers —A Defalcation in Brooklyn—Govern ment Sales of Gold—The Panama Railroad. New Yomk, August 28.1873. The World says: The Colonization Society of Port Royal, South Carolina, baa entered into a contract with the Italian Labor Exchange of this city, by which fifty Italians are to be sent to Port Royal each month. At a meeting of the French citizens, they resolved to present Thiers with a thousand dollar copy of Ir ving's life of Washington, with a suitable address. It is stated that a large amount of of Brooklyn se curities are missing, and it is understood that the late assistant treasurer used them iu unfortunate specu lations. New Yobk, August 28, 1873. The Oov« rament has awarded $1,500,000 in gold to one bid of 116. The Secretary of the Panama Railroad Company says a loan < t $500,000 has just been consummated with the Pacific Mail Steamship Company on terms mentioned yesterday, viz: A guarantee of bill of sale at 1-16 of the Pacific Mail’s best steamers. The Pa cific Mail Directors had a meeting to-day and appoint ed a committee, consisting of Captain Bradbury and Messrs. Stebbins and Sage to close the transactions with the Panama Company. The Defalcation in Brooklyn. Nzw Yobk, August 28.1873 It is now known that the Brooklyn city treasury is involved in a common catastrophe with the Brooklyn Trust Company. Late ltat night it was ascertained that the city treasury had been robbed of a large amount, and Rodman, late as sistant city treasurer and secretary of Trust Company was the guilty party. Rodman, acting in this double capacity, was enabled to cover up deficits by making false statements concerning the amount of city money on deposit with the Trust Company. The total defalcation is $2,202,000. Sprague, the treasurer is responsible for the loss. lie has sold his stock in the Brooklyn Eaglo for $55,000. His bondsmen are fully responsible, and the city will not lose anything. It is said that Sprague’s bondsmen have pledged themselves to make good any deficiency, and that Sprague has made an assignment of all his property to the city, even to his household goods. There are those who assert that Mills, of the Brooklyn Trust Company, who was drowned at Coney Island, was im plicated with Rodman in this deficiency. TilAIU-LI.TE RAILROAD SHOPS. We understand that the committee appoint* ed to consider the matter have decided to re port it; favor of making the Air-Line Railroad a present of fifty thousand dollars, to aid in constructing the workshops here. While v e are most heartily in favor of the city cheerfully spending money on every enterprise likely to add to her wealth and population, we trust that the Council will carefully consider the matter before giving ths money. As Presi dent Buford has himself admitted, Atlanta is the most eligible lo cality for the workshops of the railroAd, and if they are to be located here in any event, we cannot perceive the utility of donating money for them. The railroad com pany controlling the road is rich; Atlanta is poor, and has other vitally important inter ests to look after. There is the Western Rail road which mast ba bnilt before we can con sider ourselves safe; there are water works to be constructed and manufactories aided. While fifty thousand dollars are hot a small matter to a wealthy corporation, the sum is a large one to a city already heavily in debt and compelled to inciease that debt largely. If the money is absolutely necessary to get the workshops located here, we have no objection to the donation; if it is not, the money ought not to be donated. POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.

A STORM OVER NOVA SCOTIA. Halifax, August 28, 1873. Dispatches from Sidney report that thirty vessels were driven ashore, many buildings prostrated, and tue crops throughout the country devastated. Nu merous bridges wero washed away. The tidal wave waa ten feet high. Fiity vessels at Cow Bay are all ashore. The Cunard steamer Alpha is there, with steam up and anchors down, by which means she suc ceeds in holding down the breakwater, but is badly damaged. The destruction to the shipping at Cow Bay is frightful. Farther Details of the Storm. Halifax, August 28, 1873. Accounts of the recent disastrous storm in this pro vince are continually coming to hand. The gale severely felt iu the towu and county of Pactou. In the harbor the tide rose to a great height, and in the town fences and chimneys were blown down. Gocds and chatties scattered in all directions. At least twen ty schooners were driven ashore on the side of the harbor, but most of them are comparatively free from damage. Seven vessels went ashore at Port Mulgrove four at Pirate Cave, four at For, Hawkesbury and four at Port Hood, eastward from Halifax. The gale was the fiercest known for years. Buildings, trees and fences were blown down snd strewn in every direction, aDd it is reported that two unfinished cbnrches were blown down at Cape May. The same accounts of tho disastrous effects of the hurricane come from other sections of the prov inces to the westwa-d. The fruit crop has been al* most Wholly destroyed, and within a radius of 2C0 miles, fences, tr^a and barns a-** prostrated and j ping damaged. The fruit crop of King's county and adjoining counties suffered terribly, but no estimate can be formed now. Six brigs and eight schooners sre ashore and dismasted at Ccwbav. A number of others are dismasted, but are still afloat. Besides these there are a large number of fishing schooners ashore, which have generally been smashed up beyond all hope of identification. The whols number of dis asters to vessels st Cowbay amounts to fllty-six, in cluding the vessels ashore snd dismasted. So far as ascertained but one life was lost during the gale. The crew of the brig J. C. Troop being in great danger from the tremendous seas breaking over the vessel, Captain McArthur had the boat hauled over the sands, a distance of two miles, and launched to sdfecor the exposed crew. The boat was manned by Captain Ar thur Ralph Candor and Captain Martell, and these brave fellows were successful in saving the lives of those on board, eight of them who would in all probability otherwise have perifhed. Not in the memory of any resident has such destruction been known at the breakwater, vhich was erected at an enormous outlay. The sea played fearful havoc among all the new works, and portion of the old ones have gone. The decks were also destroyed. The damage to tho wharves is expected to reach $100,000. while other damages, including that done to the shipping, will probably foot up to over $100,000. It Is thought that over one hundred vessels been driven ashore at several harbors of Cape Breton. Seventeen barks and schooners are ashore at Sidney. It is said that this does not include all the vessels de stroyed, as a fleet of French schooners put in there during the gale, and in all probability many of them have been wrecked. Eight vessels are ashore atGnys- Loro, and every wharf in the harbor is destroyed. REPORTED SLAUGHTER. Rumored Capture of Fort Sill and Massacre of the Whites. Women, Children and Soldiers Slaughtered by the Savages— No News of it Received at Sheridan’s Head quarters. New OnLKAN*. Angust 28, 1873. A special dispatch from Waco, Texas, says: The stage driver brings news that a large body of Indians surprised and captured Fort Sill, in the Indian terri tory, massacreing women and children, and nearly half of the Fourth United States Cavalry. The Associated Press at Now Orltaus has telegraphed ,r an explanation of this report. No News at Sheridan 8 Headquarters. Chicago, August 28, 1873. The report from Waco, Texas, of an attack by In dians on Fort Sill, and the massacre of women and children and part of the 4th cavalry, is undoubtedly error. No report of such an attack has been re ceived at Sheridan’s headquarters here, which would certainly have been the case if one had been made. Furthermore, the 4th cavalry is at Fort Clark, on the Rio Grande, and not within five hundred miles of Fort Sill. Nothing at the War Department. Washington, August 28, 1873.

THE VIENNA EXPOSITION TROUBLES. Vienna, Avgust 28,1873. Considerable excitement has been created among those interested in the affairs of the Exposition by the refusal of an English firm to accept a medal of merit which was awarded by the judges. A Hobhe Winning a Heat Without a Driv er. —Tbero was rather an unusual incident at the Steubenville race grounds last Saturday afternoon. It waa in tho pacing race for a purse of $300, free to all. There was five en tries. He took the first heat, and in the sec ond heat the sulky of Copperbottom came into collision with another and was instantly overtarned. The driver of Copperbottom was of course thrown out, and it was expected that Copperbottom would run away. Contra ry to expectations, however, the horse never broke once, and came in Amid the wildest of cheers ahead in as good style as if his driver had been belore him. The enthusiasm of the crowd was immense. They cheered and cheered the self-possessed horse which had declined to got frightened, like most of its kind, when released from a driver's care. The judges were at first going to give the heat to the horse that came in second, because Copperbottom came in without a driver. The crowd getting wind of the possible ruling against the gallant Copperbottom, gathered around the stand, while from every hand went up cries of “Copperbottom! Copperbottom!** The judges saw if they should give the race to the second horse that the crowd were just in the mood to pull the stand down about their ears. They then retired, and after con sultation, ruled the heat * deed best. They would have been obliged to give the heat to Copperbottom, as he never broke once, had it not been for the claim of foul put in by the driver of the snlky with which Copperbottom collided. As it was, it is one of the rare events of the turf where a horse loetfita driver, but yet hne kept its place in the race as if nothing had happened. The Insurgents well Fortified and Desperate— Thtir Fleet Ready to Fight—Carlists and Insurgents Acting in Concert—Don Carlos and the Railroad. Bayonne, August 28, 1873.

A dispatch from Alicante, to-day, says, the Insurg ent iron-clad frigates Numancie and Mendez Nunez, left Carthagens harbor on Sunday last,and proceeded to the offing to attack the Spanish Republican fleet under command of Admiral Laboa. The government vessels coaid not be found and the Insurgent squadron re turned to Carthagena. The Numancie and Mendez Nunez are now posted at the entrance of the harbor with steam up ready for Immediate action. Vice-Ad miral Sir Hastings Yelverton. commander of the Med- eterranean squadron, still retains possession over the tranaigente vessels, the Villoria and Allmonsa, which were captured off Malaga. The intransigentes in Car thagena are very resolute, and are rendering the place impregnable. Their only danger is from internal dis cord. The members of the moderate party have re quested the foreign consul to obtain amnesty for them from the Madrid government. Carthagena is complstely invested on the land side by the Republican troops under General Martinez. At the campos it is reported that a mutinous spirit so nnder Admiral Debos. the Barcelona garrison who mu tinied and tried to bring about a general revolt, have been tried by court martial and twelve of the most guilty sentenced to death snd thirty to transportation to the penal colonise. It has been ascertained that a cargo landed on the coast of Biscay by the steamer Deer Hound consivted of condemned American small arms, The government has information which leads to the belief that the Carlists and iosargents are acting in concert LA BELLE FRANCE.

Captain Halpin writes from the Great Eastern that the broken cable has been grappled and raised to the surface at the point designated by electricians, but ou testing where the fault was, they found it to be still to the eastward. The Great Eastern had experienced adverse weather. A series of alternate fogs and gales rendered the work of grappling exceedingly difficult, but Captain Halpin is sanguine that the fault will soon be found and rem edied. Further about the Cable Expedition. Hew Yobk, August 28, 1873. The cable offio* in this city has received the follow ing.

The following letter Las been furnished the Hkuald Bureau for publication: Albany, Ga., August 26, 1873. Mb. R. M. Raymobe : Dear Sir—Yours of the 18th lust, came to hand last week, and contents noted. Would have answered be fore this date, but owing to sickness and the death of my little nephew caused tho delay, I sent a message to you by Mr. Jack Howard, but you were not at the warehouse, snd Mr. Howard could not attend to the business I wanted attended to. In reference to tho cotton that you hive of mine, do the very beet with it you can, as 1 have written you once before. You wished me in your letter to write yon how the caterpillars were doing. This I can toll you in a few words. They will eat this county up in the next ten days, if they increase as fast as they have for the past five days. They are eating much faster than they did last year on some farms. I will not have a leaf on my cotton in ten days. They sre eating up the small bolls snd forms that are on the cottDii, clean ing eff everything on tho stalks; and after the caterpillars do all this, they have not injured the farmers as much as the boll worm has injured them If we hai no caterpillars this year, we would not hav male more than half a crop of cotton, owirg to the damage done by the boll worm. I never saw such de struction among cotton bolls aud forms as has been witnessed this year, and it is a general thing in South west Georgia, as I learn. Where the finest weed is there the boll worm is worst. I have some fine cg}ton weed, aud was expecting a fine crop; but to my aston ishment I will not get anything scarcely, and what few of my neighbor's farms I have seen are in the same condition. Cottou is not as good as it was at this time last year, at which date the leaves of the plant were eaten off; still, there were more bolls then than there are now. I am low down in tho way of farming. I will write to you the latter part of next week, when I will give you all the news. Very respectfully yours, A. N. Walkxjl Mayor's Court. The Mayor and his police made another water haul yesterday and last night. Not a case was registered or on the docket this morning. This is lucky for His Honor, for he has enough to do fixiDg up for the great State cair to be bothered by petty crimra-ls. Tl»e Hippodrome. You make a mistake in stating that the Laboratory is to be moved to the Fair Grounds. It is the hippo drome erected for the exhibition of 18C9. Speaking of the Laboratory, it is one of the most extensive and splendid buildings ever built by tbe Confederate States. Originally intended, we believe Iot the manufacture of medicine, it was confiscated by the United States after the war, sold at auction and bought by a company for agricultural purposes. But with the exception of the ’69 fair not much use hat ever been matte of it. But the company is now look ing forward to its conversion into an enormous cotton factory, which will sooner or later be accomplished. A suit is now pending in the Bibb Superior Court iostisstsd by the heirs of tbe late Governor Charles J.
