(£b tiling AUGUSTA,GA: Friday Evening, June 11, IHSB. [Special Cbrrcspondence of the ZHspatch.] Atlanta, Ga., June 8, 1858. I reached the railroad city on yester day, and after removing some of the surplus dust, took a str ill around the city. I find many improvements in pro gress, some of which are of a substan tial and importantsjpharucter. Among these are fifteen or twenty brick stoics ; and I learn that several of the wooden hulks of Whitehall, are to be torn away, aud replaced by three story brick store houses. The Bolling Mill, commenced last year by Mr. L. A. Docglass, and aban doned, has been purchased by Messrs. Blakk & Scofield, aud the new firm are actively engaged erecting suitable buildings. The machinery is looked for in a few days, and they expect to be in operation by September. Mr. Scofield was, for many years, engaged in the works of Cooper & Hewett, of New York, whose railroad iron has been quite celebrated. The construction of the works is under the supervision of Mr. Davis, of Indianapolis, who built the Rolling Mill in that city, and the Atlanta Mill is on the same plan. The main building is two hundred and six by eighty feet, with a shed thirty feet in width on three sides. It is believed that Atlanta is a very favorable point for such an enterprise, as the various roads centering there will give it a large local business. I regret that in looking after new im provements I had not time to visit the extensive Distillery of Messrs. Good speed & Bee, s. two miles from the city. For a graphic description of this estab lishment, I refer the readers of the Dispatch, to a late number of that stauch friend of moral reform and ' 'ln cal enterprises’’ —the Atlanta American— (the very neatest paper in the State ) The editors Bay they make good whis ky, and though they are both temper ance men, I shall not impeach their judgment. This is, I believe, the only well-appointed Distillery in the State, and, like the Rolling Mill, is favorably located; being in a peach and grain country, and, no doubt, also enjoying some advantage in the way of local pat ronage. I found Mr. Duncan, of the Intelligen cer, laying off on a cozy lounge, with a refreshing otium cum dignitatc, and exhib iting none of the evidences of “ toil and trouble” of which editors so much complain. Among the new and deserving enter prises of the city, I am pleased to num ber the candy and baking establishment of Immel, Cunningham & Co. Good bread is one of the luxuries of life sel dom found, in these days of hot biscuit, soda and other vile culinine compounds; and when we find a good baker we hail him as a benefactor. This firm manufac ture what is termed the “patent bread” and Boston crackers —with a variety of soda and butter crackers. They are about to put up a steam engine to run the kneading machinery. The Trout House is a well kept hotel. I have nowhere met a more attentive and obliging landlord than Mr. Gannon. and visitors will find, at the Trout, more of the comforts and luxuries of life than usually fall to the lot of the traveler. A very novel and distressing incident occurred in the Trout House last night. A family from Liberty county was stop ping for the next train, on their way to visit a sick sister and daughter in Rome. The party consisted of a mother, a son and two daughters. They impressed me as one of the cultivated families of the low country, and in their manner manifested that deep affectionate inter est in each other, which is always beau tiful, and too much lost sight of in thir selfish world of ours. While seated in the parlor after tea. in company with other guests of tin hotel, who bad recently returned from the up country, the conversation turn ed upon Rome, where all parties had many acquaintances. Inquiry was rnadi after the family of the sick relative, ti whom they were hastening. Not know ing that he was addressing her brother the gentleman replied that the lady bac died the day before, and that hercnrpsi was brought that day on the train t, Marietta, where it was waiting the aril val of relatives. This reply fell like a thunderbolt upon the entire gronpe— The ladies fell screaming and fainting into each others arms, and all present were suffused with tears by the start ling spectacle I have never witnessed grief so agonizing and intense. Tin deceased bad been married but a few months, and a short time ugo had left the old family circle, hoping to w elcoim its endeared members to her own hap py home, during the summer. What a commentary is this upon human hopes. To add to the painful realities of this strange coincidence, the land lord, who, hearing the seteams of the ladies, hastened to the parlor, on re turning to the office was relating what had happened to a traveler who had just arrived—who proved to be another brother of the deceased, who was on his way to meet her, if possible, before she died. These incidents struck me as so novel and so touching, that I could not with hold a brief allusion to them, and if I have inadvertently added a pang to the strteken hearts of the afflicted circle, some of whom I number among my es teemed friends—l hope the haste with which I write, will be a sufficient apol ogy- Crops between here and Augusta never looked more promising. The stands of corn and cotton are good, and the ap pearance of the plant healthy. Business here is at a stand. The stock of bacon is large and prices are accom modating. Hog round is quoted at 9 cents, and docs not sell freely at that price. I met Dr. Powell, of the Medical College, and was pleased to learn of ■ the prosperity' of that Institution, i A new and cheap daily paper is talked i of here. Ihe success of the Dispatch is creating quite a demand for such publi cations. Success to all who make even a respectable attempt to give the people cheap reading. Yours, A. Luillcs Home Magazine. The July number is on our table. It is illustrated with Steel and Wood en gravings, and contains several interest ing stories by popular authors. We should judge it, from a hasty glance, to be an interesting Monthly visitor to the ladies e,«.. Army lor Itah. A correspondent of the St. Louis IRe publican writingfromLeavenworth, Kan sas, under date of May 31, says that the steamer Morton had brought up adetach ment of recruits for the 2d Artillery, who will remain as a part of the depot garrison—they were from Virginia. More reinforcements were expected from Jefferson City. The Quartermas ter was paying the accounts of contrac tors and employees. The fourth column of the army for Utah, under command of Lieut. P. Mor rison, marches on the 31st of May. It consistsof Company I, 7th Infantry, 6 officers and 15 men. Company C, of the same, 2 officers and 81 men. Com pany G, of the same, 2 officers, 81 men Company H of the same, 1 officer, 82 men. Light Artillery, 4th Infantry, 4 officers, 108 men. Recruits, 3 officers, 104 men. Also Company H, 2d Artille ry. with a complete battery, command ed by Capt W F. Barry. Colonel Sum ner, with the fifth column was to move on the succeeding Friday. The fourth column took provisions for ninety days in a hundred wagons. The head quar ters, under Brig. Gen. Harney, will move on or about the 10th of June, bringing up the rear, and of course ta king all the men that it is intended shall cross the plains in the service of tlie United States. Fourth of July. Almost every paper we take np ex presses regret that ‘ ‘no preparations art on foot to celebrate the cominganniver sary of lndipendence. Are we so en grossed in money-getting as to have no time for a holiday, or are the memoiies of the past actually fading from the popular heart? Either dilemma is a sad commentary on the tendencies of the age. lotion Planter's Convention. The ?.lacon State Press says; We are sorry that the absence from town of one of the Editors and the business engage ments of the other, prevented us from attending the Convention of Cotton Planters which held its session in this city on Tuesday last. Hon. Howell Cobh, of Houston, was unanimously elected President, and Gen. Armstrong, of Bibb, acted as Secretary. We learn ! from a friend who was present, that there was a good attendance of Dele gates, and that the proceedings were oi a very interesting character. Several seusiblc resolutions on various subjects were adopted, and tiie convention ad journed to meet again in September. — Art Intelligence. Cephas G. Thompson, the well known American Artist, who has resided in Rome for (he last few we under stand, is expected to return to Boston in the course of this summer. He has been engaged during tlie past winter on several highly interesting subjects.— Among them can be mentioned : Pros pero narrating the story of his life ti Miranda, from Shakspeare’s Tempest; the Angel leading St Peter from prison Ariel as a Sea Nymph, also from thi Tempest; and Chastity, from Milton's Com us: ” 90 iloar t.. Heavon Is saintly ebasity. That when a soul is foun-1 sincerely so, A thousand liveried angels lackey her.

It hai been painted for the library at Cam : bridge. — Destructive Storm in tlie Vicinity , I Demopolls. Tlie Demopolis Gazelle of the 4th in stant says; “ We had one of the mosi violent wind and rain storms in this vi -1 c'mity on Friday night last. The rain commenced about 10 o’clock at night, and continued until about 3 o’clock in the morning. We do not remember f ever to llav e seen as much rain fall in . the same length of time. The river by morning had risen some eight f«et. All the small bridges in the neighborhood were swept away, and a good deal of fencing. Almost all the slough lands were overflowed, and the young corn and cotton in the bottoms in many places almost covered up by the wash from thepioughed fields. One gentleman writes us that he thinks his crop injured to the extent of , a thousand dollars. The corn, a good deal of it, was blown down and covered - w ith mud, so that iv could not rise again j unless set up. Liquor Inspector —Mr, J. A. Taylor was, on the Bth inst., appointed Inspec tor of Liquors in Fulton county, by the Justices of the Inferior Court. fllg Cabbage. Benjamin Clayton, Esq,, has in his c garden a cabbage that was planted in April, and on the 31st Mav, 1858, it was measured in the presence of Mr. James A. larpley, and both of these gentle t; men say that it measured 10 feet in cir cumference and 3 1-2 feet in diameter. 1 1 When full grown this cabbage will be a fj whapper. We copy tlie above from the Mur -1 freesboro (Tenn.) News. Our readers ■! will agree that it is already somi cab bage. When full grown, wo would like ‘ to see tlie pot it was biled in, that’s ail. Divorces. —The General Assembly of Presbyterians, recently in session in Chicago, has decided, by a vote of one hundred and sixty to fifty-two, that di-1 vorces cannot be granted unless adul tery be clearly shown, and that any one ’ marrying a person divorced for any other cause, is himself guilty of adul tery in a moral view of the case. Singular Adventure by a Child. A little girl, only three years old, daughter of John Schaffer, who resides - at the corner of St. Paul and Atwater . I streets, had a singular adventure on | Sunday last, whicli would scarcely be credited if not so well authenticated as , to leave no room for doubt. Mr. and I Mrs. Schaffer went to church in the mornng at the usual hour, aud left this child at home with a boy of nine years. About eleven o'clock she told herbrotk - er that she was going to see Charlotte, referring to a sister five years old, who died two years ago ; and soon after she escaped from tlie house, unobserved by ' her brother. When the parents return . ed from church, the little girl was no ( where to be found. A search was made of the neighlioibood, and finally the 1 usual method of ringing a bell anil cry f ing for a lost child, was resorted to.— Toward evening intelligence waareceiv ed that a child bad been seen at Mount 1 Hope, answering tlie description of tlie l one missing. Mr. be ha fie r could hardly [ suppose that his child had wandered so j far from home, but he set out for the - cemetary. At the canal bridge he met Mis. D. Sloetzer with his child on the . way home. Mrs. S. had found it at a house in Mount Hope, where it hail been taken Care of, having been found ? lu t ie cemetary. 1 This little girl, only three years old, 5 had walked from near the Falls field to Mt. Hope and to the extreme bouthern • part of the grounds, where her father 1 has a lot, and where her little sister was buried. The distance is nearly three ' miles, and she had not been there oflen ' enough to make her at all familiar with 1 the streets leading thither. And after I reaching the cemetary, it is surprising that she should have found her way along tlie winding paths lending to the upper part of the grounds. She must have done all without assistance, and actually found the place where her - sister Chatlottc sleeps. How long she was going to the spot is not known, nor is it known how long she remained there. It is presumed she was much > fatigued when she arrived there, for she , laid down upon the grass by the grave and slept. When she awoke she started homeward and came down to 011 c of the 1 ponds of the cemetary to slake her f thirst, and there she was noticed by a man who took charge of her and de tained her until Mrs. Sloetzer came along and recognized her. The little wanderer was restored to her anxious parents about six o'clock, ; having been absent from home about seven hours, and most of this time she , was alone and mistress of her own ac tions. Few children of twice her years 1 could be trusted to accomplish such a s journey alone. There is something of L sublimity—of poetry—in the adventure of this child, which appeals to the fiuer 1 sentiments of the soul. That one so , young and so tender should he inspired , witli a passion to visit a sister’s grave, and should resolutely accomplish the mission against such obstacles, is strange - indeed. That same Almighty Power 1 which controls the smallest events as . well at those of magnitude, and which implanted in this infant bosom a desiie ‘ to commune alone with tlie pure spirit of a sister, guided her safely to that sis ter's grave and returned tier unluy-med to parental care. This incident, simple perhaps in it -1 self, to the reflecting mind is suggestive , of many thoughts. If tlie spirits of tlie dead hover about and are cognizant of the movements of the living, (ok how 1 happy are they who firmiy believo it) with what extatic delight the spirit of Charlotte must have beheld her little sister sleeping sweetly upon the grave containing her ftbhcs! What fond pa rent would not find the death pang more easy and the King of terrors de throned in the hour of dissolution if he could be assured that his darling chil dren ami those he Held most dear on earth, would singly wander to the silent cemetary nod sleep upon his grave! - Such a thought would strip the tomb of its oblivious character aud make ii rather a bed for tlie enjoyment of en chanting dreams, than a place of dark, d eary aud cold forgetfulness.— Rochester Union. *.<►.. Distressing Casualty.— On Saturday morning, the 6th inst., ou» fellow citi len. William llanie, with iiis wife and tii lee children, on their return home r from a visit, when about three miles f oin town, on the Roswell road, met . vitli an accident which proved fatal to , Mrs Hanie, aud injured two of theckil drenveryse iously, one we understand langerously. The horse, we learn,star -1 ted to run down hill, and threw Mr. Haine out, soon after which the buggy was run against the fence, aud Mrs. * Hanie and the children were thrown.— r Mrs. Hanie received a cut across the j forehead arid serious injuries in the chest, from which she died in about a 1 half hour. One of the children is yet 1 lying dangerously ill. Doctors Cieland j and Connell were in attendance, but for the unfortunate lady nothing could be ‘ done. Much sympathy is felt for the s bereaved kustand.— Marietta Advocate , llfA. »•♦*— , Money For Postage.— Every United States officer is obliged to take cents for | amounts less than ten cents; three cent s pieces are legal tender for debts under f thirty cents, and the other coin less than one dollar, for debts of $5 or less. 1 Such officers can refuse any of these' 1 coins, if offered in larger sums. I ”* 1 That is a curious remark of Liebig : “Itiscertain that three men, one of II whom has had a full meal of beef and I bread, the second of salt fish and the . i thir ‘ l Potatoes, regard a difficulty whichpre - j cents itself from enteirely different points I I of view.” , THE LATEST NEWS, , BY TELEGRAPH \ ' —--- -- ; Additional by the Asia. -j New Tore, June 10.—The English • Parliament had re assembled.

The Diocesan Convention of the Protest ant Episcopal Chouroh of South Caroli na, commenced its sitting at Greenville C. H. yesterday. From all indications, we learn that quite a large number of lay and clerical delegates are in attend ance, The “ Southern Episcopalian,” , in alluding to this subject, says : , “ It is the first time in the history of , our Diocese that the Convention has been held so high up in the State. For a number of years it seemed to be , thought that Charleston was the only point at which a Convention could be assembled. One or two attempts to meet at Columbia had not been very , successful, and all efforts to carry the j Legislature of the Church elsewhere , than our chief city, were uniformly re sisted and defeated. The meeting in Columbia in 1851, was, however, very i far from being a failure, though it was > with great difficulty that the vote to carry it there was obtained, and many ' predicted that we would not get a quo rum. A later attempt at Camden, the ' last year, was emienently successful,and , we hope the move to Greenville now will establish the precedent for rota tion throughout the chief towns and villages of the .State, o a « a a One of the most cheering apd de lightful features about our last Conven tion in Camden, was the increased de votional spirit which marked the inert ing.

Extraordinary Hall Storm.—Coles burg, Delaware county, lowa, was vis-1 ited by a most extraordinary hail storm! on Sunday afternoon last. Some stone*! were ten inches in circumference, while; others had more length, and were from i eight to ten inches long. Not a win dow escaped which was on that side off a building in the direction whence the storm came. In several instances shingles were split and sashes broken. Stock outsideof shelter was badly pelt ed, while chickens and other fowls were killed The track of the storm was about Smiles in width, and it probably did a good deal of damage outside of the town. A gentleman who, under the least ex citement, would exclaim, “ there’s a crisis coming!" was considerably amus ed at being gravely informed by a little four year old “son, " that the cry sis had come, and was in the bed with mother."
