Mr. liaidie, Cashier of the Manufaeturera' Bank, of this city, has sent ns for inspection two one Dollar Bill* of the Bank of Savannah and Bank of Columbus altered to Fives, which have been stopped at that Bank.

It is probsblo some enterprising “ chid is amang us” now, altering notes, and more caution will be necessary to escape imposition. Let every body scrutinize tlie bank bills they receive. Homicide of Col. Bond. The preliminary examination of Brown before n Magistrate's Court, in Dougherty, resulted in his disci large last Friday morning. Homicide in Ware County. • Wo learn that during the past week, Mr. I.smb, the Sheriff of Ware County, killed autan by the name of Cyrus Smith, tlie son of a Hotel keeper. It appears that Smith, who is a young and unmarried man, had written and sent a note to a young I July, a sister-in-law of Lamb, contain ing proposals of the most insulting character, and which tho young Lady exhibited to her brolhtr-in-law, who immediately took a double I nurd led gun and went in quest of Smith. Smith was at his fat hot's bouse, and ijunb upon seeing him taxed him with writing the note and sharp words ensued between the par ties. Smith, with a Colt's Repeater in his hand, left tlie House, advanced to the gate, and as soon os lie got out of the enclosure was fired upon by Lamb and killed. Homicides. Passengers who came by the Atlanta Train of Sunday afitrnoon. report that a difficulty oc curred in Fayette County last week, between two citizens, growing out of the suits brought by informers against Tax Payers, and one of the parties was killed. He was stricken on the lack of the head with a Pitcher, and died in a short time afterwards. YET ANOTHER. Simeon Banks, formerly of Jasper, killed a man named Perkins, in Brooks county, a short time since, and fled. He was pursued, but made his escapes We understand he was in this city for several days. t Ralston's Hall—Hr. Fleming. Mr. Fleming's Dramatic Company opened at Ralston's Hall on Saturday evening last, with a strong cast in London Assurance. Mr. Fleming has won golden opinions from our lovers of the Drama by his continued efforts to make tlie Hall an attractive place of resort. His company lias recently been strengthened by the addition of Mr. Fuller, a Comedian of great celebrity, and Mr. Collins Stuart, who is also quite a popular actor. During the present en gagement Jessie Brown will be brought out with entirely new dresses and scenery prepared especially for the occasion. We hope Mr. Flem ing will meet with liberal encouragement, for he certainly deserves it but before the committee returned, Dr. West moreland moved that the meeting be suspended ; until ten o’clock. The chair decided that it was . already ten o’clock, but put the motion and it was lost Just as the committee were about to return, Dr. Westmoreland arose and called upon the Brown men to retire from the Halt Those remaining received the report of the committee and a list of delegates and affirmed the action of the committee. • The friends of Gov. Brown met afterwards— ballotted for delegates—passed resolutions in favor of the renomination of Gov. Brown, and adjourned. The latter meeting, before going into the elec tion of delegates, sent a committee to the first meeting with a proposition to coalesce and elect delegates which was rejected for the reason as stated, that the first meeting had already ap pointed their delegates. The following gentle men were appointed Delegates by the first meeting: A. M. Wallace, Esq., CoL J. W. Dun can, CoL AY. T. AYilson, AY. A. Greene, AA'm. McDonnell, I. E. Bartlett, J. E. AVilliams, Esq., Col. T. C. Howard, AY. Solomons, and Col. T. AY. J. Ilill. And the following gentlemen were elected delegates by the last meeting: Logan E. Bleckley, Thomas Connally, and Thos. Moore. AYe regret to see this discord and division in tlie ranks of the Democracy of Fulton, and wc hope that time and wise counsels may yet heal the breach. In this quarter all Is harmony upon tlie sub ject of Gov. Brown’s renomination. The Bibb delegation, we have no doubt, will be united in favor of Gov. Brown. DOCTOR IN ALABAMA.

Pennsylvania with about three millions has thirty three Sen ators and one hundred Representatives. Tennessee, with a much larger population than Georgia, has twenty-five Senators and seventy- five Representatives ; Illinois has the same num ber as Tennessee. AA'hat do we need with one hundred and thirty-three Senators, wheu twen ty-five will do our business in less time and with more wisdom ? AYhy should the people be saddled with a tax of one hundred thousand dollars for Legislative expenses when an expediture of forty thousand upon the reduction plan would answer all need ful purposes * The Georgia Senate, as at pres ent organized, comes from the same territory And again “ Let Brown’s friends put him before the country, but do not—for God’s sake—let our friends be weak enough to be hurrahing for him.

He hat looked after the State hands tolerably well, and has doubtless kept motl of them from steal ing out of the public crib.” Gov. Brown, we venture to say, .will never meet with a more conclusive attestation of his fidelity to the public interests than the fact that such a caution as the foregoing should be deemed necessary by the leaders of the opposi tion. speaker, should an extra session of Congress be convened; but 'on the non-happening of this event, to be used with great effect at the next annual meeting thereof The attack upon the Hon.

Affairs, during these rainy times, have gone on twimiiingly about Troupvillc, if wc may judge by the following from the AA'atcliman of the 15th; and we judge they became no dryer very fast, after that Tuesday’s issue:— Tlie mail crossed the AVithlacochce in a bug gy, Sunday night, bringing the first intelligence from Savannah or from any locality eastward of this village, received here since the 3d inst. Our rivers continued to rise until noon on Friday last, and have been higher than at any period since January 1850. The flooring of Little riv er bridge, over which the water rose four feet, was replaced early Sunday morning, and the mail for Thomasviile carried over in a one horse buggy which, with considerable swimming, suc ceeded in reaching the hill beyond the river flats. Both rivers are now falling rapidly, and may now be passed with comparative convenience and safety, but the threatening aspect of the heavens and sultiy atmosphere, prevalent now several days, render very uncertain the contin uance of the improving condition of affairs.

It seems after all that the “Informers” who have been visiting many of our counties aud stir ring up suits against citizens who have not giv en in their taxable property at full Talue, are likely to meet with but little success. A case of this kind came up before Judge Cabaniss, at Mutta Superior Court, and we no tice. in the Griffin Union, a learned and able opinion from thc presiding Judge, in which he very properly decides “that thc 8th section of the Act of 1804 under which all the suits have been instituted, is not of force and there no Law authorizing the recovery which the Plaintiff seeks.” Thc learned Judge further says: “And this de cision does not turn the delinquent tax payers loose to make false and partial returns of their taxable property with impunity—they can be made to bear the'ir proper share of tlie burdens of taxation and be punished likewise for their delin quency. In all such cases let thc Receivers of tax returns give information to the Justices of Poor School Fuud for 1859. This fund was apportioned to the several coun ties, as follows, on the 2d inst., and about ninety-four counties have already drawn it. Our readers will be surprised at the great dis parity in the amount apportioned to the Cher okee counties in comparison to that of those in other parts of the State. AA’e hope the Cherokee couuties have not returned all their children, as heretofore, whether poor or not. thc Inferior Courts, who are fully authorized to impose a double tax. And a penalty which may more effectually meet such cases, has keen provided by the last Legislature, which it is unnecessary now to notice.” AYe rejoice that thc Informers have thus been defeated in their attempts to reap a rich harvest by such a questionable proceeding. The Post Office Deeardient and an Ex tra Session.—The States says : 'An investigation of the accounts of thc Post Office Department, reveals the fact tliat it is six million dollars in arrears! After this disclos ure an extra session is absolutely indispensable. By no expedient whatever is it possible to sus tain the service under such a burden of indebt edness without an appropriation from Congress. e repeat, an extra session is inevitable, and at no distant day. The country will begin to regard the failure of tlie Post Office Appropriation bill as a fortu nate rather than colamitoi:> circumstance, since it is the occasion of developing the miserable mismanagement of tlie Department, and so sug gesting the imperative necessity of refonu. Thc whole exhibition is one well worthy of see ing, and we hope none of our people will per mit this opportunity to pass without witnessing it.—Atlanta Intelligencer.
