Tne Macon and Hr
Trunk C»«r.
The force cf tfce remark that there are
two things that no one can find out,
the decision of one of tfce gentler sex and
the verdict of a petit jury, fades in
to insigaifiracce when the decision of
some of the Twiggs county justices of the
peace is brought into the came category.
A caae came up a few days since in
Twiggs county in which one of the most
singular of judgments was rendered. It
will be remembered thst on the 18th
day of February last two trucks were
stolen from tfce Micoa and Brunswick
train at Ballard's station in Twiggs
county.
The best detective talent of this city
was set to work on the case to ferret oat
the robbers. Several trips, involving
expense and inconvenience, were taken
down the road, and thegnilty party cap
tured, and in a day or two he made a fail
oonfession of the crime. The name of
the negro who stole the trenk was Cxiar
Brown. After bis capture be was brongbt
to Macon, and os the crime was commit
ted in Twiggs county, he was sent to
Jeffersonville to stand bis commitment
trial. Daring the time after the arrest
he frequently made confessions, and to
several parties, without any "fear of pun
ishment or hopool reward.”
Ha was carried before s justice of the
p:.aco in Jeffersonville. When first ar
raigned the prisoner plead guilty. The
trial was somewhat delayed, bowover,
and when it came np a while after, Mr.
J. D. Jones, of the Twiggs county bar,
appeared for the defendant and a pies of
guilt; wsfl withdrawn. . The case
was entered into; frequent confessions
were proven; the prisoner had indicated
in some of them where the stolen prop
erty eonld bs found; the property was
exhibited in the court and the owner,
Mr. W. B. Brittain identified it S3 his
own; argament followed. Mr. Jones,
appeared in behalf of the prisoner and
Colonel W. A. Lofton followed in a con
vincing argament for tho S'.cte. The
eourt locked perplexed at the end of the
speeches, and remntked that this was a
very difficult question whether to bind
tho prisoner over or not. Said he, “the
oourt is very much tronbled. The con
fessions amount to nothing. The goods,
it is true, were found in the possession of
the parties in whioh they were said to be.
That mikes it a very diffioult question for
the ocurt. The court has no doubt i a its
mind but what the defendant committed
the orime, bat what the court thinks and
what the law thinks are two different
things, and so the coart dismisses the
prisoner.”
During tho delivery of this able opin
ion, the court was exploring the ceiling,
pausing in great anxiety over the upper
investigation, and speaking with great
gravity, earnestness and deliberation.
A special warrant was sued out before
Judge Fate, the earns evidence exictiy
was presented before his honor at Bul
lard's Station, and the darkey bound
over, not only for the rcbhery of the Brit
tain trunk, but also for the theft of the
trunk belonging to Miss Green, of Cocb
ran. The case will come up at the next
term of Twiggs Superior Court, and it is
probable the coal mines will receive a re
cruit from the Cie tare.
Brevities.
Several of the persons who went on the
Xybee excursion returned yesterday eve
ning from Sava-nah.
Tickets on the i xearsicn from Savan
nah to the Indian Spring?, soon to take
place, will cost $10 for the round trip
which will include a week’s board at the
Springs. The ticket from Macon will of
course be much less.
Macon will soon have double daily
mails from New York. Double daily
trains to New Orleans with improved
schedule are soon to be established be
tween New York and New Orleans.
Archery Is becoming popnlar in the
city.
Two elegant ehowera fell yesterday in
the city, but did not extend to Yine-

On Saturday, a barbecue will take
place near Griswoldvi'le. Fifteen car

Tripped a Piillcemau-
Yesterday the ancient mariner who
was taken to tho barracks on Monday
was tried in tbo police court and released.
Later in the day, on Cherry street, he
again became intoxicated and Officers
Wryo and Adair went to arrest him. He
agreed to go quietly. As Mr. Wrye
stepped up to his side to escort him to
the barracks,by a dexterous movement.be
threw him upon the pavament. The offi
cer was equal to the situation and rose
and with tho assistance of Officer Adair
and Lieutenant Hurley, the sailor was
again lodged in the barracks. This is
the second time the officers have been
served in this way.
The Meat Market.
There was considerably less of the
psuioky feeling among the Chicago suffer-
or* yesterday. Taero was a feeling cf
oalm resignation and a determination to
held fast to what eantract they now
have. The market, too, exhibited loss

In alluding to tbs standing of Messrs.
Charles Com.oilman & Co., of Chicago,
we were slightly in error. The Corn
Ercbaug* Bank, of Chloigo, guarantees
their traneaetioas with tho Banks
of this city, to any amount. The
First National Back, of Maeon, is in no
way oonneeted with the sale or purchase
oC ooutrac s for future delivery, and does
not guarantee any one in this line. We
have at c a tele gram which speaks highly
of this firm direct from Chicago.
NuYM CHtletship. 1
On the 21«t of August there will be a
competitive examination of applicants
for the appointment to fill the vacancy in
the Naval Academy from this district.
The examination will be in reading, writ
ing, epel ling, arithmetic, geography and
English grammar, and the board of ex-
amir, rs will coa.-iat of Professor \Y. D.
Williams, ProfessorSemmes, of PioNono
College, anl Dr. W. F. Holt. Any young
man between the ages of fourteen and
eighteen can apply for the position. Here
will bo an opportnnity for some one to
obiain a fine education and a profession
for life at the expense of the government.
We think tho competitive examination
will give far more satiifaction than a
simple ap. intment, as quite a number
of jouag man iathe district desire to try
their chances.

Trie Chalybeate Springs.
Just now there is a gsy crowd at the
Chalybeate Springs, in Meriwether
county, and the prospects are that the
orowd wilt continue to increase largely.
The accommodations are very ample, and
they can hardly bs over crowded. The
festivities have commenced in earnest,
and a masquerade ball and tableaux and
charades are on the programme for next
week.
Dancing is the order of each evening, and
to the strains of Kessler’s band the dune
ing is mnch enjoyed.
Many who visited tho Springs last year
have returned this season, and are highly
pleased. Columbns has a splendid dele
gation, and other cities even quite far
down in Alabama, contribute quito
number of guests. Montgomery is rep
resented. Bains fall and copious have
fallen on each side of the mountains
which surround the Springs, and the at
mosphere is delightfully ccol.
The springs may be reached quickly
from Macon, leaving on the morning train
and taking tea at the Chalybeate. Several
Maconitea have already visited the place,
and have come away well pleased.

Correspondence Telegraph anl Memenger.l
Atlanta, Ga., July 16,1879
Here I an, in Atlanta 1 Atlanta the
beautiful! Atlanta who sits among the
hills clasping to her motherly bosom the
infant Custom House, lest by chance it
slip do ten and wet its feet in the sad salt
sea. Glorious Atlanta!
I never realized that I had thorough
ly arrived, uutil I stepped from the train,
and a vandal roboed me of two dollars
which I gave him to have changed, and
for whose return I waited and am still
waiting—then it flashed upon me that
had Rarely come and was face to face with
the Queen of the Hills.
My first impulse, after rubbing my
fists into my eyes a while, was to look
round me. I obeyed the impulse and
found myself sheltered by u building ot
gigantic dimensions; it waa tfce depot,
tfce largest in the South, and the magni
ficence of the architecture overwhelmed
me; coming as I did from Macon, a way
station on the Control Baiiroad, lately
moved by the Commissioner of Agricnl
ture into South Georgia, I was cot pre
pared for each a surprise acd
with beads ot perspiration eucirolmg
my browsank down upon my carpet-sack
Bpceohleis with rapture. While thus
sitting a man approached me. Ho had
horn uDder his arm. I asked, in a whis
per pointing upwards:
“Is this the work of man?”
He smiled, and replied : “No; lit ia the
work of men, Atlanta men,” and raising
his born gave a bias: so long, so deep,
that I regarded him with admiration,
waa almost convinced that Boland had
returned from Boncevallus acd was pre
sent in person. I besought him to enow
me an inn where I might refresh the inner
man, telling him that I was a stringer
and had already been “taken in.” He
guided me to the mouth of the depot
and, striking a tragic attitnde, bade me
look up. I looked np and immediately
eat down (the shadow of grandeur alwr.ja
weakens one’s knees). Did mortal South
Georgia vision ever encounter such stu
pendous magnificence?
“Taut,” be said, “is tho High Kim
ball House—the largest in the South
He|lben raised bis hotn and blew a second
blast, while I sat lost in wonder anl admi
ration. When my first surprise wore away,
I bad strength enough to look around,
and perceived another gigantic structure
at the end of the street.
“And that,” he exolalmed, “is the cele
brated Markham House.” The plan of
the city then dished upon me : Atlanta
was built in tbe shape of a triangle; tfce
High Kimlail, the depot, and tfce Mark
ham were bmlt at tee angles, and tbe city
was within. Pleased at my discovery, end
perceiving-that no one seemed astonished
at seeing me, I picked np myself and oar-
pet-saek, and, following my guida’s ad
vice, made my way into the High Kim
ball. One thing struck me as peouliar;
every man, woman or child I saw had a
born slung under tbo arm, and this they
proceeded to blow whenever anyone ask
ed a question about the city. I asked the
hotel olerk about tbe health of the place,
and fce blew a blest that shook me
to the very foundation: I asked the bar
tender if it wa3 ever hat, and he gavo me
another that rattled every tooth in my
head, and 60 ob everywhere.
Having secured tbe finest breakfast in
the South, I sauntered forth to view the
new capitol, a building erected by the
city in fulfillment cf a conditional prom
ise when the State was looking around
for a location for the seat of government.
I found it without difficulty, and, for the
third time, my knees gave way. Words
would fail me should I attempt to por
tray my feelings upon first beholding it,
and I shall simply describe the building
as it appeared to me after the novelty
had worn away.
The massive piece of architecture
known as tfce new capitol is sitnated on a
commanding hill, just outside the grand
triangle, and I can truly say that tfce eye
of a South Georgian never before beheld
snch a building. From a foundation of
solid granite, a marble pile proudly rears
its head to the clouds and is surmounted
by u bronze figure of a woman some 23
feet high. This woman represents Atlanta.
la her right hand she uplifts a gigantic
bronze horn, the smaller end of which is
fitted to her month; in her left, she ex
tends a’gas burner into the air. By an
ingenious arrangement, steam can be
forced through tnis horn, aud made to
produce n sound that can bo heard all
over the land. At night a stream of gac
ts turned into the burner, which, when
lit, is visible from four States. I did tot
learn the names of the States, but sup
pose that Expectation, Sensation, Insol
vency and Agitation were the ones referr-
d to, as I met more people from these
Siates than any other.
The western wing of the building has
a portico of pure white marble, and over
the row of columns, eighty-four In num
ber, which supports tbe roof, may be
seen marble statues of Ben Hill, High
Kimball, Marcellos Thornton and Joe
Brown, engaged apparently in animated
discussion. Bullock is not there, but an
open door in the rear suggests tbe fac
that be has just retired. The eastern
wing is similarly constructed, except that
tho columns are made of bine marble,
from Lynch’s quary, in the city
The figure above this pottuw, rep
resent tbe directors of the State
road, seated about a broad table di
viding the earnings of tne toid equally
between themselves and the State—
twen’y-five thousand a piece all around.
Betwica the wings is the main building,
a pr.nosly dome, crowned by the bronze
figure before mentioned. In this dome
are wonderful pictures set in tfce wall,
each of them twenty feet square and the
figures in them life size. These are the
finest in the South, and were all painted
by Atlanta artists. The first picture to
the right as you enter is a faithful lenre-
sentatiou of tfce Atlanta Eoiling Mills in
fall operation; the figures of the work
men, grimed and blackened, are life-like
productions, and in the distance some
forty-odd fnight trains grow dim in the
persp.ctite »s they bear away the manu
factures of tho works; by a simple con-
triviuoo drops of water fall into the dust
at tfce bass o: tfco picture, representing
the sweat—tbo larg-s! in tfce South-
dropping from the brows of the
workmen. Tee deception is com
plete. Tbe second picture is a rep
resentation of the Atlanta Ice
Wmks. The blocks of ice look so

with the most eloquent pen in the South.
Tbe fifth picture represents the es'ablisb-
ed trade of Atlanta. An elegantly
dressed merchant aits in his counting
room with his foot on the mantle and
thumb in the armhole of hi3 vest, while
hundreds of anxious-locking customers
lean across the counter offering him every
variety of bills in erch j uge for fc is goods—
goods which he will no: sell until he ba3
finished, smoking the finest home-made
cigar is the South. Mingling with the
crowd may be seen drummers from Ma
con, Savannah, Augusta aud other Geor
gia villages offering their goods in vain.
The six'h snd list picture covers the
ceiliDg of the dome, the highest iu the
South. In tho centre is a birds-ye view
of Atlanta from which city leads ont a
railroad that looks somewhat like a gi
gantic spiral watch spring. Oa this read,
which circles arouud Atlanta about one
hundred time s, the towns of the State ate
represented by dots.
The entire building is finished in tfce
highest eiylo of art—tfce highest in
tho South. It is warmed iu winter
by warm air, and cooled in earn
er by cold air—the hottest aud co!-i-
st, considering the eeasons.in the South,
and lit by thousand of gas jets; here
our over-burdened Legislators may work
iu comfort and security: the cracked
walla of the Opera House may crumble
in ruins, but the walls cf the New Cap
itol will Never fall:—Never 1—that is,
hardly soon; at any rate they will never
fall upon any of the pie3cnt generation,
Such is a brief description of tbe Cap
itol built by Atlanta to accommodate the
Legislature of Georgia; it is “as good
as the old one” in every respect, a3 every
one who sees it wiil acknowledge, and
is said to have cost two hundred thou
sand dollars. In these days of broken
contracts, it is refreshing to see a city
fulfil so liberally her promise: we have
now a castle for the liberties of the peo
ple that reaches to the clouds, and wt ei
we remember that Atlanta did it tall
without help—that the building has not
cost the State a oent, we should all be ex
cueed, if as Georgians, we do brag a lit-
tie.
