The New York ffaptrs received this morning, arc Oiled with the details or the loss of llie steamship Atlantic. No leas than five hundred nnd sixty two persons wore hurried untimely into eternity hy the ignorance and inconnpetcucy of the ofli cers of the vessel. By llidr own confti siou tliey knew not where they were at llie moment the strainer struck the rock. In the first place, tire Atlantic was turned loose hy her owners on“tlie ocean with n gingerly and stingy supply of coal, enough per Imps, and bare enough to make the run if the weather w as good, but in case of ud verse winds, then she was thrown upon the t>ft)*<J question of luck i|i mid ocean she nujf (Bn* ii'lvdin |tbi4hhe omd mu ■iiwti od Ci^ifalii' rVTrianis pul her on her regu lur course and for Halifax, in order to re pair the negligence of her owners. In do ing this he got ifTo iur&oge waters—saw beacon lights he did not understand —the vessel was soon in the hands of u merci less tempest withimiiiiiig to combat it :i . u and Marly six hundred peopie w nt duMft.Jo their uutituely graves. I'hcl ll Is. one of the most awful marine disaster* of this or any other century Is at t' ibutable to the cupidity und meanness of the White Star Line Company in first dis patching one of their ships in unseaworthy condition iu that she was short of fuel, and short of intelligent officers in a moment of peril. Ihi is loss wholly fell upou them llie j world would have few Leiue to shod. Hut unfortunately they are fully insured, und most of their officer* and seamen got ashore, whilst * tint a woman or a child escaped.” Of course tinge criminal* o t thil kind will never be punished on earth. But the Eternal will hold them accountable iu the end DEATH OF MR. B. A. WISE. A* many oommenw have been made upon the failure of this paper to announce the death of till* eminent citizen Sunday morning, the Senior deems it. due tlie pub lic to say that lie had written a long and heartfelt obituary of his olil frioud. That at its conclusion words w ere Written us to the details, with the place and hour left blank, thinking, us a matter of courso, that the immediate associates ami kinsmen of the family would send the accustomed f moral notice to tho office. But when the Senior left the office on Sal urday night, uu imperative order was le!t with Mr. Dodge to omit all mention of the matter unless this office was treated with that courtesy which itdeumuds from every quarter notyltohmdipg the sworn friend ship existing lwtwccn the deceased nxd himself Tiiu notice did nut tome and hmeo the omission. !l whs, therefore, uo iault of our own, that the many virtues, the ,\eul lent qualities, the public ami private worth of the diitiuguisiied dead were not record ed in due course la tlio columns of this journal. We Were not invited tdk his fu neral, and hence, from feeling* of Up grentm deltricy, felt no right ly extend tin invitation to the many friends of the pa|ter to attend. Hut in spite of all thin we will say that never did citizen of Macon cross the stygian river witli none fond and tearful adieus than Basil A. Wise, lu llic prime ol life, iu the vigor of manhood,the Muck camel— Dkatu—knelt at liisdoor and ho bad to mount to return nevermore.

The sol dier. In his terrible trude, inflicts pain, maims, or kills; the surgeon, a skilled and watchful beneficence, waits in the track of blood, and comfort*, assuages, saves. The military history of the war for the suppression of the rebellion remains ttn wiittcn. and llie reports winch are to make it valuable slumber in the atchives of the War Department; hut the Surgeon Gen eral hss begun the publication of the records of his Department, which will be of much value to the profession through out Christendom. The two large quarto volumes now being distributed as a I'ublic Document nre alike creditable to the Med ical and Hurgical Department of the army ami to the Congressional Printer.— Wath ingtvn Chronicle. A ud iu this publication we hope the dis tinguished Surgeon General will not for get to quote the official statement of Sec retary Stanton: That 2G.000 Southern soldiers died in Northern prison houses, and 2Lyt)U Northern soldiers died in Southern pMoes of confinement during llie war. And we hope that for the sake of historic ti uth the Surgeon General will say, Uiat from Hie battle of Port Sumter to Appo mattox Uou*t house, the Confederate gov ernment every .day to exchange prisoners of war, man for man. And the writer wishes to bo placed upon the wit ness stand In the following peitinent mat ter : . 1. That wheu he met Gen. Sherman’s Chief Aid ilu Camp,'Willard Warner, on the picket Hue at tho rude little town of Hough and lteady, on tho Macon and Western Hail way, for the purpose of exchanging two thousand three hundred prisoners, he showed liim a dis patch from Jsfferson Davis, plating the whole twenty thousand prisoners then confined at Andersouville at his disposal. 2. That when he said to Willard War ner, Gun. Shermans Chief ef Staff, “as you full well know we have not food sufficient to sustain these men. Wo therefore are anxious to exchange them for our own. If you will agree to an equal exchange, every prisoner iu Au dersuoville will he brought here aud passed over to your lines in forty-eight hours. If you have nut tho men ready to exchange, you Imve only to give your waul as u tuiliiury officer that they shall bo forthcoming at a futuro day and we will send you all jour suffering and tlyitfg men at*Andersouville so soon as trains can bring them.” 3 llis reply whis, “My, dear sir, you do not seem to understand that ail our mou now confined in your prisons are en titled to discharges from limitation of ser vice ; that so long as tliey stay there each keeps a correspond ing rebel from your ranks In other words, we are making those captives do a double duty, which they never iuleuded when they eaUs^ed.” The cold nnd heartless look on the man's countenance when lie uttered these words, indexed the policy of his goveruineut. He that day objected to receiving one hun dred and twenty men which we had brought to his lines in excess of tho cartel, and it was only In deference to their lin portunities that they were allowed to pass beyond our hues. The true history of the late war has never Iceu wiilten, nor, perhaps, never will be. It has been lost or is within the dim recollection oUiueu whose words and memory will not be taken as artliodox. The report that the Macon Enteupkisb and the Macon Telegraph bad drawn th* capital prize in the Louisville Loiter need* a great deal of confirmation. bOUTIi 1 ICON DRUG STORE I K-'oui-in llreel, near Arch. * . # ‘ • ponses they lmvc given to ins constant efforts to build up a business sfs necessary to the conn luunity, ami also, 11:at Just, dealings.
