[special correspondence.] Atlanta, Sept 0.—The recent movement inaugurated in 8avannah, having for its object a reorganization of our military system,or an improvement of the present, is attracting considerable attention. It can and ought to be pushed to success. In a conversation this morning Adjutant* General Stephens expressed himself very strongly in favor of it and hoped the move* ment would not lag. Col. Stephens makes a statement of general interest in this con nection. lie has lately received many ap plications for the formation of new com panies nnd for the supply of arms for them. The State of Georgia makes no ap propriation for tho maintenance of her military, but leaves it entirely to the aieagrc support of the Federal govern* Bent. From that source the State re ceives |5,0U) to be applied to providing arms for the Stale troops. This appropri ation ia always quickly exhausted. Georgia s quota of a.ms for the present year ia already exhausted, and yet there are numerous applications from new companies now of .file for arras. These applications are mainly from the lower portion of the 8tate. While the Adjutant General would always be glad to answer these applications favora bly, it is impossible for him to do so when the demana is always so largely in excess of the supply, 'i bis state of things ought not to exist, but it will exist so long as the present military system of Georgia is main tained. The white oflice-holders who are now run ning with the Arthur administration on the shoulders of the Georgia negro, it is hinted, are beginning to see shadows on the wall. In comparatively a abort while Arthur will step down and out, and his influence with the next adminis tration, whether it bo Cleveland or Blaine, will be practically the same. His bench- men now muat build their hopes of the fu ture on the success of Blaine, and will per force curry favor with the alleged pluu-ed force curry favor with the alleged piuaeu knight. If it be true as intimated some itlrae since in this correspondence thatl Blaine and Logan have little love for the nigger, and that Blaine ia in sympathy with the little coterie in the State known as Whig or white Republicans, then the proper move of the leaders of the negro wing of OUR MILITARY ORGANIZATION. The Adjutant-General has furnished me with a complete roster of our military organization as it now exists. It may be of some interest, in view of the present discussion of our military affairs. From its appearance on paper it is certainly strong and vigorous enough to warrant the State in giving it some kind of support and encouragement. Under a more generous system Georgia can make it one of the finest military organizations in the whole country. GEORGIA VOLUNTEERS—WHITE. Governor H. D. McDaniel, commander- in-chief, Atlanta.

Mr. Harry Hall, one of the distributing cleiks at the poat-ofBns, died suddenly day before yesterday. He had been to the country and whs returning in a wagon when he suddenly expired. Yesterday, in my letter, was noted a re port of a dispatch said to have been re ceived here from the Columbus Stars, ask ing for dates for a series of games here with the Atlantas. and agreeing that Col lins should not come. Since 1 have been shown a dispatch from Cjlumbus that the Stars had no intention of playing here, but if they should, Collins would play. That question is, therefore, settled.

She was a lady of exceptional mentul power and rare grace of tnanrnr. The funeral of Mrs. Alston will take place at Decatur at 11 o’clock to-morrow morn ing. A large company will attend from this city. I It ia announced to-day that on Monday! John H. James, the banker, will resume business at the old stand. Mr. James publishes a card In which he returns thanks to former patrons for business and kindness, and solicits new business, which will be reliably handled. ' The prohibition convention mentioned this morning will convene next Saturday to put out an electoral ticket Hon. Charles Z. Blalock, a prominent young attorney of Walton county, who presided over the recent Congressional convention in this district with such grace nnd ability, made the Teleorasii branch office a pleasant visit to-day. Hleselecf tion as chairman of the convention was a compliment to the Democracy of the dis trict and well bestowed. Tbe Baptist Association had a big meet ing at Stone Monntain to day. It is hoped there will be a'large attend ance at the meeting of the New Orleans Exposition commissioners to be held here next Tuesday. The success of the State exhibit seems now to haug on tliu result of that meeting. The celebrated game of baseball between the reportera and the railroad men was played tbia afternoon. Night drew on apace, and Ihe game was called on the seventh Inning. The score stood 22 to 20 in fnror ol the reporters. This ought to close the season. It was reported this evening that the ont- Cenaral Lorlng Dlacuaeea the Proposed Campaign on the Nile. N. Y. Herald. Gen. Loring was interviewed by a Herald reporter on the subject of the Egyptian ex pedition. General.” asked the reporter, “what are your views with regard to the success of the British expedition about to start from Egypt under Lord Wolseley ?” •Tdo not think there is any doubt about its eventual success.” “Do you think the force with him auf ficient to do more than relieve Gordon?” •‘Certainly not to hold the country to which he is going for any loog time; but by joining his forces with those of Gordon in Khartoum he may possibly be able to relieve the other military poats scattered along the White Nile and its tributaries in case they are not captured before his ar rival. It ia not impossible, too, that he may see bis way to opening the road from Berber toSuakira by way of Kokreb, which would be an immense advantage to him in any ulterior operations.” "Is it your opinion that the expedition w>ll reach Klitrtoum in time?” “It is. The force is to my mind likely to reach Assouan by October 1. The Nile is now rising, and by that date the river will be In fine boating condition. With his three thousand boatmen. Lord Wolseley will be able to pass the cataracts between Assou- an and El Debbe, and also overcome the ad verse current of the Nile. Fiom El Deb be he will have to push across 175 miles of desert to Shendy, where he will again strike the Ni'e 100 miles from Khartoum, and where he will be within easy reach of Gordon's boats. My opinion is that Gen eral Wolseley will tie able to open com munication with Gordon by about the middle of November." ‘ Still I presume you believe he will en counter great difficulties, do you not? ’ * Undoubtedly. Under the best of cir cumstances the task before him is a Her culean one. To move even a small force from Wady Haifa to Khartoum is an ardu ous business; but to move such a body of men as Wolseley has under him is a tre mendous task. He has not only to over come the difficulties presented by the cata racts and the Nile current, but he has to fight the climate. Presumably, however, he will do a great, deal of his inarching at night As to the tribes along bis route, it is not likely they will give him much trou ble.

TO WOULD-BE RUNAWAYS. venture to attack him.' “Do you believe the eventual abandon ment of the Soudaa by England proba- hl«?“ * I do not. It looks to me as though tbe sending of Wolieley with so large a force foreshadows a determination on the part of the British to hold Khartoum at least. They will hardly consent to turn over that vast country, the Soudan,to the slave hun ters as a preserve. Then, it must be re membered, the trade of the Soudan is very great, and under England might be indefinitely expanded. To control it she would need only a railway between Berber and Suakiiu, which I anould not be sur- ■riied to see projected and eventually uilt. Her possession of Massowab points also to the ultimate absorption of Abyssinia.” “It is hardly necessary, then. General, to suggest that you do not look forward t tue evacuation of Egypt by the English ?*' “Certainly not. My fixed opinion has been that, once established in Egypt, Eng land would not relinquish her hold on it. I have never attached any seriousneoa to her talk about withdrawing her army from that country. The control of the Suez Ca nal is as important to her almost as the control of the month of the Thames. If she withdrew from Egypt the Khedive’s government would go down before the ha tred of the Arab population and the safety of the canal be jeopardized. Neither she nor the rest of the commercial world could afford to run this rink. Even if the Mahdi had not appeared, other cogent lessons would have been found for her occupation of the country, in which I think she has Sage Advice to Youthful Aspirants for Greater Glories Than They Have at Home. Detroit Free Press. Come, now, my lad, but you want to run away. No boy ever yet reached the age of 15 without having several times firmly resolved to leave home. When a boy has made up his mind to a thing of this sort he ought to carry it out by all means. The flrsc step In the programme is to begin saving up bread and meat. When you hive a bushel or so of provisions hidden the barn or under the woodshed, >on are ready for tbe battle wi>h tbe cold world. Make your start at night. This will pre vent the sun from tanuing your complex ion, and you will be quite certain of the company of a tramp or two. Some boys leave a note pinned to the pil low of their bed. This note goes on to say that the boy has been jawed, bulldozed, starved, pounded and knocked down and dragged out until he has made up his mind to sever the connection. He will never be heard of more. It is probably the best way to leave a note of this kind, as the family are then made to fully realize their cruelty in driving the poor boy out among strangers. When you have packed your little bun dle and are off it will be well to settle upon some plan for the future. Perhaps you want to be a sailor? Nothing i9 easier. Make your way to some lake or seai>ort and most any captain will tako you. if be can’t disgust you with the sailoring busi ness in about a week, tar buckets, seasick ness, poor provisions and a rope's end will be called npon to assist him. Perhaps you want to become a mighty limiter? Mighty hunters are not made in few days or weeks. You want to begin iy letting your hair and linger nails grow, feeping in a swamp and wasting$20 worth of ammunition to kill a 10 cent chipmunk. If you have decided to become a hank clerk, well and good. Make tracks for the ne vrrst city, ana tbe fjrst batik you enter will jump at the chance of employing you at a salary of 1200 per month. If it should so happen that tbe bank didn't do any jumping as you made your application, you can console yourseif with tne reflec Uon that it is about to bust. But, speaking in all seriousne*. my boy, if I had a dozen sons I should be glad tc have each and every one of them take his turn at running away from home.

If it ia of such importance I should glad to speak of it more definitely, but the gentleman was not at liberty to let it oat further.
