On Sunday the 23d of August last a heart-rending accident happened to a young lady, aged sixteen years, residing in Banks county. Two young ladies, Misses Patterson, cousins, were together in a room sporting with a musket, which, contrary to their belief, was loaded. The piece discharged from some cause and emptied twelve buckshot into Miss Sarah A- Patterson, killing her instantly. POLICE COURT REPORTS. 44 Heaven help as all id these terrific d*ys!

And vestal cheeks are most unseemly florid. The very zone that gins the frigid prude Is now intensely toTrid 1 ” The 44 vestal cheeks” of the worthy Major, which re always unusually florid for a man who hasn’t tast ed a drop for more than twenty years, (his own state ment at the Turnvercin picnic) was mads to glow more intensely yesterday morning, when Jonsen tackled him on the comer of Whitehall and Alabama streets and informed him that the weather had proven too many for even th« stoical Recorder, and that that obese individual was infatuated, and wae at that time fanning the stagnant air of a higher court room. Twas in vain that he pleaded business—Jonsen meant work but came very near not having any court when he inadvertently remarked that there were several ladies* names on the docket Not that the Mayor is afraid of a woman. Not him. Jonsen mentioned the name of one whom the Mayor had occasion to fine soon time since, and who has ever since entertained Modoc feelings for him. When the Marshal twitted him on this point, he remarked: “O darn it all!—a feared of her, And anch a mite of a gal; Why, two of her size rolled into one Won’t ditto Sister Sal. Her voice is sweet as the whippowill’e. And the sunshine’s in her hair; But I d rather face a redskin’s knife, Or the grip of a grizzly bear. Though she ain't any size, while I’m Considerably tall, I’m nowhere when she speaks to iue. She makes me feel so small. My face Brows red; my tongue gels hitched. The cussed thing won’t go; It riles ine, ’cause it make# her think I’m moot tarnation slow.” My sake*, just ’spose if what the folks Is saying should be to! Go, Jonaen, and speak to her. Find cut and let me know; While Barry fays: “She’s such a dear, She’s just the one for you.’ O darn it all!—a feared of a gal, And me just six feet two!" By the time the eonveraatu n was ov*r tho twain had reached the Station House, and there, to the Mayor’s horror, were assembled seme of tho best legal talent in the State, among whom might be mentioned Mcssis. Hog , Ellis. ThrasLer, Wiel and Abbott, to say nothing of one or two live Aldermen. Arranged around the room were a number of ladies, gentlemen and spect&’or*—prin cipals and witnesses—all combined to add effect and dignity to the scene. But the Mayor was into it deep, and backing his ears ho went into the docket like a horse in a corn crib. The ca*e against the junk dealers was fh>t called, and alter a little wrangling among the lawyers and Marshal, it waa postponed till Saturday, at which time old T- and C. will be on band and will >ettle its hash, one way or another. That’s the sort oi a man he is. Osborne Fuller, Oliver Heard snd Solomon Jordan, three West End darkies, were each fined $20 and costs for assaulting and throwing rocks on lastSnudiy even ing at a Mr. Blackatock. Mr. John Wood is a gentleman from the rural “deestricts” who came into the city to get oat of the range of the hog cho'era. Mr. Wood from appear ances, la a seasoned piece of curled hickory, full of knots and cross-grained. He has arrived at the con clusion that life is a mere matter of guesc-work. Carrying out this theory practically in the selection of his wines, he made a wrong guess and swallowed a pint of “old IiUMHeil'’ for Piper Heidsick. This, of course, threw him iff bis «qni ibrium, ami he retired to the pavement. In extenuation of his mtejudgroent, he stated to the court that ha hid bt-on afflicted several (lays with a sickness in his stomach and took the whisky as a medicinal agent. The court fined Mr. Wood, one dollar and cofcte, which he paid, and went out singing— 44 Wood I were a boy again.” Mr. F. W.

June39tf “TO THE DEATH !” A Double Homicide—A Tsat'hcr ami Pu pil Iu Banks County Stab Eu« Other to Death—A Bloody Affair, It becomes our duty to chronicle one of the sadJest occurrence* that lias taken place iu Georgia for mauy da. *. It was a difficulty between a teacher and oue of his students, a young man, which resulted iu the SUDDEN DEATH OF BOTH THE PAHIIFA. The horrible tragedy was enacted in Banks county, near Homer, the county site, on Friday last, the 28th of August. The teacher of the school was Mr. Alfred Alexander, aged forty years, and the student, Mr. John U. Moss, a young man aged about twenty-one ye->rB. It appears that once again A WOMAN WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE AFFAIR. Mrs. Alexander, wife of the principal, was, we learn, present of her own volition, but not in the discharge of any regular duty as teacher or in any other capaci ty. Her custom, however, had been to observe th i conduct and deportment of tho pupils, and wheu she considered them guilty of any breach of decorum, to report them to her husband for reproof or other piu- ishment. On this occasion the subject of her UEPORTOHIAL CAPACITY was the young man referred to,'.Mr. Moss. When his attention was called to the matter iu question he denied the charge made by Mrs. Alexander, which led to an animated and angry dispute. Alexander became enraged at the young roan for the part tak?n iu tho controversy by him, and advancing towards Mr. Mos», drew his knife snd STABUED HIM IN THE BREAST. Moss in turn advanced with a dagger and PLUNORD ir INTO ALEXANDER’S HEART. This was a fatal wound, and the mau foil. Ju»t then Moss turned to leave, but Mrs. Alexander, who was at the side of her husband, wrung the knife from Lis hand and administered one or two severe cuts to Mo^s in the back, near the region of the spine. The result that both lay moxtally wound* d on the scene of the conflict, and both expired iu a short time, the one within three minutes of the other. It is not definitely known whether Moss died from the wounds received from the wife or husband as all were seveie and reasonably sufficient to produce death. The whole school and entire community were thrown into the deepest consternation and excitement over the horrible affair which, though short, was so decisive and terrible. City Council Proceedings. Alderman Itice advocated action to-n ght. Mayor Hammond (Alderman Mecaslio in the Chair) 4 made the point of order that the resolution could not j be adopted to-night without violating the Buies of the Council, Tho Chairman ruled the poiut well taken. Alderman Boring seconded Aldeiman Dodd’s reso lution, but wanted it understood ho was in favor of water works, and in favor of ihe resolution. The pa pers had misrepresented his position on the water queslion. Alderman Be a tie also favored reference, but was In favor of water works, now that something tangible was prevented. On motion oi Mr. Laugt-ton the committee was in creased to seven, and tho motion prevailed. The fol lowing is the committee; Dodd, Brothertou, Young, Spark •*, Rice, Coring and Langston. This committee is to act in conjunction with the Water Commissioners. Mayor Hammock and Alderman Young were author izetl to let out a small contract of grading on the mos favorable terms. On motion. Council adjourned. Catholic Entertainment Last Evening. The beautiful, bright September moon, the mild at mosphere snd the recollection of the previous eater- tainment, induced a tremendous crowd to visit Con cordia Hall last evening, to witness the second appear ance of the Amateurs for the benefit of the Catholic Parsooage. The programme was almost entirely changed from last week, but none the less enteresting* The costumes assumed by the different character* were highly appropriate in their respective roles, of the magnificent tableau presented. The Readings, Music. kc., were an improvement of the first per formance, and aome of the ballads ware exquisitely beautiful, especially “Auld Lang 8yne,” the rendition of which drew tears from a number ot the more elderly portion of th* audience, at the mellow cadences of the singer vividly brought to mind tho scenes and ci r- cumstanccs attending their earlier days in the mother country- The first p4rt of the programme tailed off well enough, as did tbe'second also, but for the lack of promptness la presenting the successive tableaux. Some restlessness was manifested at these delays ; which was abundantly exhibited in loud calls for tbe curtain to rise. A little more attention to this particu lar thing would not have detracted a particle of iuterest iu the performance, and the manager iu fu ture should look more closely to hia business. Financially we congratulate the ladies and gentle men upon their success, which was nearly, if no* quite, equal to the first entertainment. AUOXCi THE MERCHANTS.

To the Editor* of the Herald: I notice on broad, Forsyth ami Hunter streets tbat instead of blue rock for macadamising, the contrae tors are using a large portion of gray and flint rock. I am told by the beat of civil engineers that these gray and flint rocka mixed with blue rock will make, in a few years, a very uneven street; that tbe flint rock will soon grind to gravel and leave a hole. 1 am aiso told that the contract specified a given number of inches in the centre of street and at the sidewalks.

His weak unfathomed inward caves refused to carry any nioie wet freight, and he stranded on a broken curbstone. He was entered at the McA- demical Institution to carve out his freedom with a dull pick upon the senseless rock. John Manuel endeavored to go through the 44 man ual of the piece” with his stove-pipe hat, and fell over it, and for some hours found it impossible to get the sidewalk from off his back, and finally lay there from sheer exhaustion. The Court commended his praise, worthy efforts to maintain a proper standing iu tbe community, and, applauding his desire to walk up right in tbe sight of the bar-room*, awarded him a premium of five dollars. Jim Phelan was discovered “ feclin” about on the ground for a place to climb up, when the police as sisted him, and he Lad to pay for the services ren dered : “ There in the moonshine, cold and gray, Prostrate and very drunk he lay; And from the ground, in dismal tone, A voice came like a dying moan — 4 Histed!’ ” Here the weather became so hot and the room so close and stifling that the Mayor got too aick to pro ceed, and ordered Jons n to clcse tbe Court, when the troubles were ovqy for tbe day. DASHES HERE AND THERE. The saddle which General Cleburne usedjat the time he was shot is on c xhibition at the Library. It is an old dilapidated war relic, and oue *n which is centred a great deal that is interesting. Mr. Herbst has also a beautiful wreath of Georgia ferns, which were gather ed near Dalton, and formed into txquiaice shapes by friend of the Association. The biggest sensation on the afreets yesterday wae “spanking team of four-in-hand,” which were on th streets. The lines were manipulated by the prince of horsemen. Col. Oliver H- Jones, and were four beauti ful, sleek black animals from his stables. There la but little sickness in the city at present, few slight cases of a billions type are all that are ported outside of the ordinary ailments or tbe season. Our merchants generally are receiving hea\y in voices of fall goods, and in the course of s week the city will be filled with them. The appointment of Mr. George M. Heed as General Freight Agent of the Georgia Railroad, Is a miste stroke of policy by tbe corporation which will be heartily indorsed by every friend of tbe road, as weJj as by Mr. Reed’s hosts of admirers throughout the country. He is known snd remembered by all who have passed over that road on his train, as one of the cleverest snd most accommodating conductors in the South. He is an honest and upright gentleman, and the traveling public will TegTot his promotion, which will force his removal as a conductor. We sincerely hop* tbat his successor will prove a* popular with tbs pub.leas Mr. Reed has always been. Pcrional Intelligence. On yesterday we noticed Mr. Joe. Hull as a repre sentative of Colquitt k Bagg of Savannah. Mr. Hull uas dissolved his connection with the above Ann and has formed a copartnership with Mr. E. H. Ctben.

Being intimately acquainted with both numbers of this firm, 'we cheerfully indorse them, not only aa men of tbe strictest integrity, but aiso as gentlemen who are willing to make personal sacrifices to farther"tbe interests of their customers.

Tbe property is situated at tbe new and flourishing town abont thirty miles above Gainesville, on the Air-Line Railroad, In the midst of a fine section of country. A new hotel 1* also being erected, which will contain eighty rooms. Mt. Airy Is a healthy place, and the highest point or the ronte from New Orleans to New York, being 660 leot higher than Atlanta. It is therefore destined to be, at no distent day, a popular rammer resort. Pursuant to a call of the Mayor, the Council met last night at 8 o’clock, at tbe Recorder’s Court Room. Present—His honor C. C. Hammock, Mayor, anil a full board of Aldermen, < xcept McLendou, B; otlier- ton and McMillan. His Honor Btated that tho meeting was called to re ceive the report of the Water Commissioner*. Tho Committee of the Board of Water Commission, ers presented their report through their chairman- Dr. C. L. Redwine. Their report was quite lengthy and elaborate, giv ing the estimated approximate cost cf a supply of 1,500,000 gallons of water daily, with proper pipes, hydrants, etc., for tiro or other purposes, from a sys tem of wells, if practicable, $130,(>00, or from South River, $255,000, from Peachtree Creek. $280.00), and from the Chattahoochee, $147,000. The committee tbiuk from Mr. Ketcbum’s report that the well system is impracticable, but are willing it desired, to mike a reasonable teat in that direction They recount tho great necessity of a water snpp’y, on account of tho preservation of health—greater se curity from fire as well as the greatly enhanced lents of real estate, etc. They ask tho issuing of $300,000 00 in Water Binds, secured by a first mortgage on the Water Works—be, sides being protected by the plighted faith ot th: city- and such bonds would by being thus doubly secured, command a much higuer price than ordiuary city bonds. After tbe conclusion of the leading of tbe report, Col. G. W. Adair, by request of the Council, addressed them oa the subject. He thought there waa uo qut atiou about the necta-'i- ty of establishing suitable water-woiks for s&nitary and fire purposes, as well as to ntiliz3 much valuable property. He thought tne issuing of $300,000 in bonds ■ ceasary. aod was prepared, as one of tLc commission, ers, to account to the people tor the proper expend! ture of the money. He at first thought $123,000 would pay fur proper works, but finding that the works woo d Ikj a paying investment, by utilizing properly and w_ter rates, he was willing to come up a little. The delay of the commissioners had saved tho $250,000. South river did not head ia Atlanta, as Dr. Thurman thought, bat at West End Depot. Ho was willing to teat the well system reasonably, Lut wanted no money wasted. Did not think the well system would furnish a proper supply. Our present system did not protect us sufficiently against firs. Shall we not meet the emergency upon us ? The water rates and saving of insurance will pay the in terest on the bonds. The Commissioners desire to advertise for the men who will do the woik cheapest and show proper vouchers for every cent supplied and expended. None of the Commissioners want to make a dollar out of water works indirectly. Tbe utilizing of the upper stories of one, two and three story buildings, would increase tbeir taxable value to a very considerable expense. The dust in the city is insupportable—a big fire would cost the city much more than the interest on tbe water bonds aeked for. $125,000 would fill the cisterns, but would not furnish an adequate supply of water for all purposes needed. Was a large tax payer himself and was willing to pay taxes cheerfully for good side-walks, McAdamising, water-works, Ac.— Complimented the present Council ou their judicious expenditure of the public money this year. Tbe Coun cil and Board of Commissioners should act in concert, in harmony. Thought there should be no hesitation on the part of the Council. Thought the Legislature hail very wisely put a brake on the Commissioners by forcing them to look to Council for money. Let bonds be issued, contracts be awarded and tho work be pushed forward vigorously and completed by next summer. Dr. Redwine hoped and believed that tbe Council would not take any dodge on them by the well system. He believed the majority of tbo Council were ready to act and act now. It was neccessary for tbe Commissioners to kno« whether wo were to have water works or not before wo could employ a competent engineer, Ac. When tbe bonds are issued if the well system is found practicable, of course, only so many of tho bonds as are nece ssary wil • be used. A proper test of tbo well system would cost a good deal. President Anthony Murphy stated that of course It would take aome timo to properly negotiate tbe bonds. Before the work was commenced the bonds woul 1 bo properly negotiated. Alderman Rice thought if this Council ever intended to do anything for water works it was high lime they were about it. Had no faith in the well system, but was willing it should be tested. Colonel J. A. Stewart was called on for hi* view’s the subject. He was a water works man. The cheap est plan which would furnish a full supply ought to be adopted. Thought ihe estimates were too low Rome under-estimated hers, but everybody was satis fied with them, and they wero £»*lf-sustaining, city had ever abandoned her water works. The doubt hanging round the well system was the only trouble, but if there was a strong probability of success it ought to be tested. The present supply was furnished by shallow The water bed proper, Las never been tested. He suggested various plans for a tea;. A twenty foot well seventy teet deep with proper engines, etc., would net cost more ihsu {h.ioo to $in,ooo. He thought th* Council could safely Issue the bauds asked for- thst the Commissioner would usj them prpperly. Believed they would test the well system properly— explained the plan adopted at Rome, and doubted whether Rome waa a better locality than this for Coheu A Selig are receiving their fall and winter stock, and all tbeir clciks arc busily engaged in open ing canes of goods and placing them iu tbeir respec tive shelves preparatory to a gtund rush of the peo ple. Mr. Morrison, of that sterling hardware house, Mor rison, Bain k Co., will leave for the North iu a few days for the purpose of purchasing a now stock. This firm, although the youngest of all the hardware houses iu Atlanta, has been remarkably successful, and now ranks with tbe oldest and most solid firms in the city. Hard workers, prompt, attentive and enterprising, tho members deserve the success they have attained. May the shadow of Donny never grew less. M.

They are daily receiving tresh supplies of li- quotc, wines, etc., and judging from tbe rapidity with which they have inert aaed their business in the past wil! come to tbe front this winter. There is no liquor house in the city which has s more deservedly favora ble reputation for reliability and for tbs purity and excellence’of their goods. Col. Bob Maddox has returned from bis recent trip to Virginia, where he bought up all tbe tobacco he could lay his hands upon, and he is now prepared to sell tbe “fragrant weed” iu any quantity, from a cbec- ront to five hundred or more boxes. Tho Colonsl re ports that Old Virginny hospitality is as open hearted as ever.

Bob is as cheerful and happy as a Juue bug, and he be lieves that finances will be easy this winter. There will be a lively rivalry between tbe mei chant tailoring establishments this winter. M. k J. Hirsch will add a custom-made department to their house, and have made extensive arrangements for this pur pose. They, with Lowe, Eismau, Dykemau aud Jones, will enable the “average” At auta aud vicinity man to dress in exquisite style. And then tliuy all swear by the Herald. W. H. Brothertou, having postponed his departure for California, intends to bring »big,stock of goods to the city this fall. He is of opinion that tho corner o» Whitehall and Mitchell street can fb'.l cheaper aud better goods than auy where else, and—his store ia always crowded. Stephens & Flynn report the demand for their fa mous Arrow Ties quite bri*k, which indicates that more cotton than usual has been raised in tbe country tributary to Atlanta. They are the sole agents iu At lanta for these celebrated ties. The New York Store expects the largest and moat eli g int stock of dry goods ever brought to Atlanta.— One of tho firm is now in New York purchasing. Stein, heirner says that when his goods arrive every husband aud father in the city will beg for mercy. In the drug business there is nothing new to report. Fox maintains his equilibrium, snd has resumed bis wonted smiles ever siuce the Courier-Journal resumed its daily visits. Next to tbe Hkbald, he swears—no, affirms—by our Louisville cotemporary. John Kcely has been taking stock. He, too, we un derstand, will shortly start ou bis Northern trip to purchase hia fall and winter goods. Capt. Keely sold much cheap goods this year—by purchasing bank rupt stocks—that it ia the prevailing opiuion of every body that he made “a big pile.” Accordingly, he is expected to “spread himself ” this winter. Mark Johnson’s magnificent warehouse continues to be a scene of bustle and activity. Mr. Jouhson is himself absent from the city, but under the managr. ment of his ablo and energetic brother, Mr. William F. Johnson, hia . extensive bu*inat>a runs in its ac customed channel wifh regularity and dispatch. Mr. Woodruff, who recently joined Mr. Johnson in the carriago business, is, as usual, pushing matters and will soon make Lii Carriage Repository tbe centre of attraction.

Richmond Whig letter; “ The newspapers have already had accounts of a circumstance that occurred after bloody Gettysburg. Now, without any parade or indelicate comment, I will here give tbe verbatim language of an eye-witness of tbe touching scene: ‘General Kemper, when shot from his horse m the charge of Tickett’s division at Gettysburg, was being carried in a bloody blanket to the rear, when he was met by Gen. Gee, aud the following dialogue ensued: Gen. Kemper— ‘General Lee, they say I am dying, and you see the last of me. Before I go 1 have one thing to demand; I have seen in the fight what you have not seen—I have seen the splendid heroism of my boys; when you make up your reports do them justice and cover them with glory; they have won it.’ General Lee (speaking with deep emotion)—‘I will.

Hughe* Republican candidate tor Governor of Vir ginia: As he looked out upon his audience no beam of sympathy came from a single eye that he in other days cared for. So generous applause said go on, we will listen. The Earl of Essex, on the scaffold, about to be be headed, could not have looked lonelier than he did before he uttered his first sentence—“I am a native of the county of John Randolph, of Roanoke.’' His voice weakened before he reached the close, and in the next sentence, “ I reside in tbe great Southwest, the country of the Prestons, the Floyds, the Johnstons, whose blood courses the veius of my sou,’’ it grew less steady. If a mau at this juncture had said anything unkind to the speaker, Le ought to have beon murdered without ‘the benefit of the clergy.’ The Loudon correspondent of the Manches ter Guardian understands that the Ducbets of Inverness has bequeathed much of the property left by her husband, the Duke of Su88*x, to various members of the royal fam ily, and that tbe principle legatees will be tbe Princess of Wales, the Princess Mary Ade laide, and the Duke of Cambridge. Col. Roundel), an English traveler, who undertook to explore the interior of Persia iu the disguise of a peasant, is believed to be dead, as no tidings have reached his liicuds for several years.

The anniversary meeting of tho Atlauta Turaverotn Society, composed of our German fellow-citizena, took plsco yesterday evening and passed off pleasantly and tbe proceedings were of more than ordinary interest. The attendance was good, and after the transaction of the r< gular business, the soci ety proceeded to elect officers for the current term, with the following result: Erster Sprecher: 0. J.
