TELLING THE TltUTH. latrmllnK Facts Coming to LlfM About tho Atlanta Campalfto, “A Memoir of the Life and Public Ser vices of Joseph Eggleston Johnston, for merly the Quartermaster General of the Army of the United States, and a Gen eral in the Army of the Confederate States of America,” Is the title of a hand some volume written by Bradley T. Johnson, and published by R. B. Wood ward A Co., of Baltimore. The work is now about to be issued from the press, and the advance sheets, covering the Atlanta campaign, justify the conclusion that the volume will be one of great interest and value. One of the most interesting chapters deals with the fall of Atlanta and Sherman's raid. The historian says: The federal army contained regiments from many northern states. In the raLks were men whose ancestors had died at Bunker BUI or had fallen at Beuna Vista. They were the sons of God-fearing, country-loving father* and mothers, and were as high-minded, chivalrous, generous soldiers as ever carried musket or drew saber. But by their sides, In no Inconsiderable propor tion, were the mercenaries, who hod en listed solely from selfish considerations, 'They knew no flag; they had no c mntry; they never felt a pulsation of patriotism, nor a throb of honest enthusiasm. In all the scenes that followed Sher man, In all the gruesome memories of that fearful march, In all the lurid pic- i tures of crime and suffering, the only light is that of some bright young “yan- kee,” always American, who Interposes —sometimes officer against prlvato soldier, sometimes private soldier against officer—to shelter women, old men and children against the “bum mers,” the outpourings of the jails and penitentiaries of the north, and the dregs of the mob in the continental cities. No tongue can tell, no pen can paint the horrors of that thirty days' march of Sherman from. Atlanta to Savannah. Be left Atlanta November 15; he reached Savannah December 45; nnd In that thirty days was packed at much' of hu man suffering as over was experienced in the same period In all the history of all time. Every morning details were sent In advance and on the flanks. Justice re quired that the men who remained in the ranka should share In the advantage* of tliese details. Of course, energy, en terprise and courage made Itself felt at once among the “hummers,” and the more daring and boldest forthwith sup plied themselves with good horses and kept well mounted by that means. There were many thoroughbred horses In southern Georgia, and the stables of the rich planters were stocked with the best blood of Virginia and South Caro lina. The bummers spread themselves over the whole country for miles beyond either flank of the marching columns, and they robbed everything. The ne groes were no more safe than the whites. The especial objects of their search were watches, jewelry and women’s trinkets. The old galley slave, fresh from Tonlon and the French hulka,;wlth the brand on hla shoulder and tho limp of the shackle* on hla leg, found a wide field for the exercise of those talents which bad brought him to grief in hla own country. The detailed account of the march to the sea fully sustains this general de scription of its character. The testimo ny of well known ladies and gentlemen in Georgia is brought forward to prove that the Invaders and their chief dis graced every step of tlieir way by tho most brutal acts of arson and rapine. To many of our readers this story is by no means new, but It Is now for the first time told so fully and graphically that it will revive public interest In the most stirring chapter of our war his tory. COUNTY COURT. The Fat 1 Session Openeil Yesterday Before Judge PIMliury "The way of the transgressor is hard' was again emphasized yesterday Judge PilBbtiry in the county court. But it don’t soem to make much differ ence with a large section of tho human family how often the edict goes forth, "Thou shalt not steal,” and "Thou shalt not” do a great many other things which arc wrong. These warnings may be sounded over and over again, and yet offenders keep coming right along for the mills of justice to try and grind Into decency and good behavior. The first offender yesterday was Bor- ace Pointer, charged with assault and attempt to kill by slashing with a knife one George Xapier. Beld on a $500 bond. Burr Wiggins was the next victim. Be Is charged with gambling on the Sab bath day. Whether he won or lost did not appear from the testimony. As rule, among the white folks, It Is not considered very naughty to gamble; but it la criminal to lose. Wiggins olalms that it Is all a mistake; that it is a ease of mistaken Identity; that be never hod any time to fool away at gambling, and was always hard at work, particularly on Sundays. As this defendant is evi dently a steady worker as a restaurant waiter, and otherwise seemed rospecta ble, his cose was continued. Benry Barden was then brought for ward on the charge of larceny. It seems that Benry made a social call on one of bis many friends, and when he took his departure he also took with him a pair of $4 shoes belonging to his friend. Bow he came to aet In this singular manner ho was unable to explain; and for this failure he was sentenced to the chain- gang for nine months, or a fine of $45. In passing Sentence on this last cul prit, Judge Pilsbury took occasion to remark that it was disgraceful to our community to see big, lunking fellows loafing around town, in thieving idle ness, while -farmers were every day seeking help to pick cotton *t 50 oepla a hundred. In- future, all Idle, thieving SPEAKING OP PEOPLE. loafers, on ‘ conviction, ‘would receive their just deserts at the hands of the law. “Sport McAllister." The opera house will open Tuesday, September 15, for its regular season, the opening attraction being Bobby Gaylor, who enjoys the distinction of being the most natural Irish comedian on the American stage. Bis faculties for keep ing an audience in good hnmor is per fect, and he bears a reputation in this particular (line which is envied by all, but equalled by few, if any, of never overdoing a single gesture or action in hia laugh-making scenes. In these he appears In the new farce comedy "Sport McAllister, One of the Four Hundred," having a character peculiarly suited to him. Bis manager has surrounded him with one of the best farce comedy or ganizations in America, and a glance at the list of names of members of the com pany will reveal some well known favor ites. Among them are to be found such talent os Gcorgio Parker, the Olympic quartette, J. P. Carrol, C. W, Young, Hallett and Raymond; Nellie Franklin, Beatrice Norman, May Gaylor, Myrtle Fresaider, Lillie Carrol and Madge Car- The musical portion of the organ ization has been well taken care of. The transcription of national alra created such a stir In New York city, where it is being done in “Tar and Tartar," that it ia given at the end of the second act of ‘Sport McAllister." Those IVho Come to and go From Ameri cas Day by Ilay. Mr. J. H. Cooper, of Chokee, formerly paymaster on the Sqm road, but now a prosperous farmer of Lee county, was in town yesterday. Miss Nora Sullivan, who has been vis iting relatives in this city for several weeks, returned to her home in Mont gomery, Ala., Thursday. Mrs. McCue of Montgomery, Ala., who has been visiting her daughter, Mrs. J. T. Cotney, In this olty for some time, returned home Thursday. Rev. H. C. Bornady will preach at the Baptist tent Sunday r Ight. He was once pastor here, and he has many friend* who will gladly welcome him. Rev. H. O. Judd, the pastor St Paul’s Church, of Macon, passed through Americus yesterday. There were many regrets that this popular divine could not prolong his visit among us. As it was, many of hia old friends caught him on the wing and made him happy for a minute or two anyway. Come again, pastor, and linger longer. Curious Telegrams. Mr. George Stanfield, the accommo dating manager of tho Western Union Telegraph office in this city, tells of some of the amusing telegrams sent by the descendants of Ham through his of fice. Negroes are not given to sending telegrams, but occasionally one steps in and wants to use the wires. Recently a colored brother stepped up to the coun ter and wrote out his message. When he banded it over the operator read the following: “I want to know is you dead.” The message was sont os it was written, but the sender looked in vain for a reply. It never camo, and the party to whom it was addressed was probably dead sure enough. Funeral of MU. Annie Gyles. Tho last sad rites were celebrated yesterday of one whose name will linger in the memory of all our people for many years to come; and in the hearts of hundreds of personal friends while life lasts. This is not the time nor this the pen to dwell on the loss which this com munity feels on the death of Miss Annie Gyles. That will be done hereafter by the hand of affection and by one who can speak from personal knowledge and close companionship of this gifted and beautiful spirit now dwelling where truth, purity and love are Immortal The large ooncourse of friends and relatives who attended this funeral yes terday gave ample testimony of the worth of the departed, even to the eyes of strangers; but who can tell of the broken hearts that were carried in many a bosom on this melancholy occasion ? The commonplace phrases of consola tion for the heartache are too tame to use for such grief as is felt by our people to-day. Language fails to express the sadness that is in the air. None dare venture to offer any consolation, except He who uttered the great mystery and hope of humanity—“J am the resurrec tion and the life 1” Grand Removal Sale We shall, on September 1st, remove to our elegant new store under the new hotel, on Jackson street, and recognizing the greater ease with which money can be moved, offer our ENTIRE STOCK of Boots, Shoes and Hats At One-third off for Cost till that date.

There is little doubt about this suiting him, and in a short while the first work will be done preparatory to the erection of the monument. Fruit Very Scarce. Georgia's fruit crop for this yenr is about exhausted. A talk with the market men yesterday substantiated this. They say it is impossible to get any amount of good fruit from home, That that now being sold, nearly all comes from the north.
