Gwinnett Atlas. LAWHENCEVILLK, UA., Wednesday Mosmßo, Aicrsr 23, 1871. Macon and Knoxville Rail road. We have read, with some de gree of anxiety, our Macon ex changes, hoping we would find the report made by the engineers of the Chicago company upon the practicability of this road. It was stated, editorially, by the Tclegrah and Messenger, upon the authority, we believe, of lion. Jerc Cowles, that this report would be prepared and submitted to the board of directors for their in formation by the 12th instant, and that upon this report the com pany would take definite actios. Thus far we have l>e< n unable to find a single reference to the mat ter, end, therefore, presume that no information lias yet reached Macon. The people all along the route feel a deep interest iti this road and therefore manifest some im patience. But we must remem ber that this is a gigantic enter prise, Involving a heavy expendi ture of money, and that capital is always timid. There are other things to be taken in considera tion in building a road two hun dred and forty miles in length than the uctual cost of construc tion and equipment, and mere spec u ation and piofits. Let us be patient. We have confidence yet in the building of this road. <»»■> Editorial Correspondence. [The following letter, and one signed “ Delegate," ought to have appeared last week, but a press ol other mutter prevented.] Home, August 10th, 1871 Dear Ati.as : It is refreshing, these long, hot summer days, to get away fr. in the monotony of a country village, and aboard a first class passenger car to go whirling on, *' over hill and dale,” to the great centers of trade and com merce, where everybody seems to be f ull of life and energy. We had never had the pleasure, until this trip, of riding on the Air-Line Hoad, and we were pleased to find the road in good condition, for a new road over a broken Country, and her passenger cars well lifted up. Having uet a number of acquaintances on the train, we were enjoying ourselves finely, when suddenly the train (as we thought) stopped. We did not see any depot, nor any particular occasion for stopping right there in a big cut; but, as we were uot running the concern, did not, trouble ourselves much about that,supposing t hat somebody wan ted to put aboard a dozen eggs, a peck of peaches or an old rooster or two, to glut the Atlanta market It turned out that by some acci dent, the lear portion of the train had become uncoupled fiom the flout, leaving our car standing on the track. We were in the hind most car, but near the door. All at cnee wc noticed all the people iii the otln r end of the car jump tip and commence running through towards the front door; some were pale as death —all were excited. We did not know what was the matter, but as it appeared to be fatdiiona'de to g.-t out of that car in a hurry, concluded we would tol low tbe fashion. Wc got on the platform. Somebody said “jump, ’’ but it was unnecessary to have said tha>, we had either to jump cfl or be knocked off by the crowd. We made a good jump, landing in the cut, “right side up, with care.’’ Wc, then, for the first time, under stood the situation A wood train was coming right down upon us under good hea 1-wav. We could distinctly hear the clank, clank, clank of the train right around the curve—i collision was inevi table. \\ e hail read of collisions —of an engine mounting a train and crushing it in—of broken ! arms and legs, and bodies crushed until they could not be recognized by their friends. We had never had any ambition to be pub ished as a victim of a railroad collision, and therefore concluded that “distance lends enchainment to the view ;** in fact, we ‘ accepted the situa tion,” and left without ceremony. (Jere came the crowd —ladies, gentlemen and children. Ugw they all got out of the cars so quit k, wc arc .re not prepared to say. Some got out at the dooi s— some came through the windows One large gentleman attemptod to go through a window head fore most. lie had not estimated the size of that window, and he got about half way through, and there he hung; to get back was about as difficult as to go through. An Atlanta lawyer, concluding that in the cut was about as dangerous as aboard the ears, and atb mpted to climb the perpendicular bank, but the law of gravitation is still in force, and the print of his fin gers and knees may yet be seen in the soft dirt. Then came the crash “Nobody hurt;" some few complained of slight bruises. The collision was over. The en gine of the wood train and some of the cars were damaged. The engineer had checked the speed of the train, which prevented further injury. We were soon on om way to the Gate City, where wc arrived at about schedule time. Atlanta continues to gvow. Her streets, even at this dull season of the year, present evidence of life and business. We noticed a number of new buildings which are being ereited. J. II James is building a handsome brick busi ness house on Whitehall street, near the railroad c-iossing. We saw the Kimball House! bat can’t say, with one of old, “ now let thy servant depart in peace.” Rome is a thriving little city, situated at the junction of the Oustanaula and Etawah rivers, which form the Coosa, and upon the line of the Selma, Home and Dalton Railroad, and surrounded by beautiful valleys, spreading out as fai as the eye can reach. It is a fine farming country, pecu j liarly adapted to the cereals and ! grasses. They have, however, i this year, had a protracted drouth, which has literally burnt up their j crops. We iiave never before seen, in Georgia, crops so com pletely runed by drouth. We saw some upland fields where the stalk appeared to be completely ! dead and dry, and the fodder | withered. Even on bottom land, ! cose to the bank of the river, we j noticed that the tassels in some i fields were dead, and especially was this true where the land had not been well cultivated. Those !of the citizens with whom we talked did tot appear as dcapon ! dent as we expected to find them We were informed that this drouth did not extend far, but only a few miles on each side there had been refreshing rains. We visited the foundry ol the Messrs. Noble, situated near the depot, and were surprised to find it so extensive We were informed that two-thirds of the car-wheels used in the States of ! Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee were manufactured here. They employ about one hundred and twenty-five hands daily, and turn out about one hundred and twen ty-five kegs of nails per day, and expect shortly to increase the amount to two hundred kegs. We had never seen a nail made before, and were astonished at the rapid ity with which it was done. One of the tniployees imfornied us lie could make one hundred# and sixty to the minute, 'fhc iron manufactured here sells for ten dollars per ton more than any iron in the United States. This is the way to achieve Southern iude pendenec. We tender our thanks to Mr. James Noble and family for their kind attention to us while in the city. Our acknowledgements are also due to the enterprising Editors ol the Commercial for an invitation to make our headquarters at their office, we regret that other engage incuts prevented our accepting. P. Democratic Victories. Full returns from the election in Ken tucky show the election of a Democratic Governor by thirty thousand majority. The Legisla ture is also largely Democratic. The electiou held iu Charleston, a short time since, for Mayor, re sulted in the election of John A. Wagoner, the peopled candidate, by seven hundred majority, over Gilbert Pillsbury, the Radical can didate. Supreme Court decisions. We published, in a late issue, a decision of the Supreme Court, holding that the act ol 1870, re quiring affidavits in cases origi- \ nating before June, 1865, wascon stitu Jonah In a recent decision, the Court , in the case of Ordinary for the use of E. H. Worrel vs. H. and C. Ad ams, held, that where a debt had been contracted in 1858, and was reduced to judgment in 1867, for about $2,600, and the plaintiff has filed his affidavit that he had paid all taxes chargeable by law up to 1865, lor which year his tax was assessed thereon. That in 1866 and 1867 he gave in said debt at what he believed to l>c its market value, to wit: SI,OOO, and paid the tax thereon. I hat since 1867, 1 he did not give in and pay tax on the debt, because it was no longer a solvent debt and ceased to have a market value: and yet the Court held that the plaintiff had com plied with the requirements of said set as to the payment of taxes and filing the affidavit as prescrib cd. We must confess that we are somewhat surprised at this deci | sion, and fully agree with Judge Warner, that if the act is consti ; tutional, neitherits letter nor spirit had been complied with. We give below several decision made at this term, clipped from the Atlanta Sun, which are of gen eral interest. i C. M. Lowe vs. W. A. Rawsoti Relief Act of 1870. McKay, J. The Act of Oct. 13, 1870, re quiring the affidavit of the pay meat of taxes in all pending suits on contracts made before the Ist of June, 1865, applies also to pend ing offsets, the same being crop actions, and in such action the de fendant is the same as plaintiff and must file the affidavit within the time required by law. The charge of the Court in this case and the verdict of the jury arc sustained by the evidence and the Court did not err in refusing a new trial. Beal & Tucker for pUr tiff.— Wimberly, Gillis & John T Clarke for defendant. Bryant Collins vs. Blight Miller— Relief act of 1870. McKay, J. A promisor}' note given by a citizen of this State to a citizen and resident of another State, who has never resided here since the note was given and does not now, and has not kept the note here, until it is sued, is not subject to tax in this State, and if suit is pending on such note, proof of this fact will excuse the plaintiff, a non-resident, from paying tax and from filing the affidavit re quired by the act of 1870. E. G. Itaiford for plaintiff. Wimberly & M. Gillis for de fendant. Junes and Jeter vs. S. and C. Blocker—Hiring the servant of another. Warner, J. It is said by Blackstonc, that | the retaining of another person’s I servant during the time he has ; agreed to serve his present master, j as it is an unmanly, so it is an illegal act, for every master has I by his contract purchased for a j valuable consideration the service I of his employee fora limited time. The inveighling or hiring his ser vant which induces a breach of this contract, is therefore an in jury to the master, and for that injury the law lias given him a remedy by a special action on the case. Three Blackstone 142. The same principle is applicable when | one man employs a laborer to work on ids farm, and any man knowing of such contract of em ployment, who entices, hires or persuades the laborer to leave the services of his first employer during the time for which he was i so employed, is liable to damages. Held that it was error in the j Oou rt below, in sustaining the de tnurrers to the plaintiff's declara tion and disms ing the same. R. 11. Powell and H Fielder for : plaintiffs.

Mckay, J. \\ here, in an action of trover it was in proof that the property for which the plaintiff sued, and to which the plaintiff showed title, was at the house of the defendant, though there was no proof of any use of the same by her. Held that this was some evidence of possession by the defend ant, and it was error in the Court to withdraw the cause from the jury and grant a nonsuit. Judgment re- i versed. Thomas J. Jones, H.

For the Gwinnett Allas. ON TO ROME! A Few Dots by the Way. Mr. Editor —On the morning of the 7th, I, with a few friends, at peep of daylight, started for the railroad at. Duluth, en route for the State Agricultural Convention, to assemble at Home on the next day. Under cluck and whip we reached Duluth in good time for the 8 o’clock train, after passing over very rough roads, and with many a jolt inean wh’le. It was my first visit to the new town. I had often been to Howell’s Cros. Roads, but before a town and a railroad were ever dreamed of at that place, or in that section. Soon we were wending our way on ' ward over the Air-Line, and reached the thriving town of Noreross, where we were joined by a number of per sons for the same destination. After passing from the latter place a few miles, we encountered a little mishap ; and a scene ensued, which you, being a par,y and a participant, will no doubt give your readers an account of, and 1 will tut. But don’t forget to say bow “the man of the tripod," with others, use! their legs in trying to get oin of harm’s way, and how you all charged over each other, pell-mell—some thiough the door, and others through the windows, in such hot haste! And don’t say that the few that held on were too badly scared to run! After this “ hair-breadth escape,” we reached Atlanta s ife, and found the city all agog with delegates for the Convention. On the next morning an extra train was provided by Gov. Brown to convey us to the city of Rome; and soon we were underway in grand ! style—Gov. B. beintr one of the I - ° party. j We were forcibly impressed with the change for the hotter, on this road, since last January, when we i traveled it It was then under Blodg ett. His subordinates were arrogant, insulting, and indifferent to the com -1 fort of the passengers. Now they are attentive and polite, and every thing in fine trim. I know nothing about the lease, except what I have seen in the news papers; hut, as a citizen of the State, I am satisfied with it, and have no douht it is the best arrangement that could be made for the interest of the State. Gov. Brown is the man to control it. He has everything in trim ; his subordinates are polite and attentive, and he pays $25,000 monthly into the State Treasury, while Blodgett paid nothing for many months, and, it was said, was incurring debts against the State in running it. Upon our arrival at Rome, many of the piivate houses were thrown open to the delegates. Your correspondent had the good fortune to be assigned to Judge Me Guire, who is a gentleman of taste and generous hospitality. We ten der to the Judge and his estimable lady our hearty acknowledgements ; for their kin I ness to us. We met a number of our old | Gwinnett county friends who live in | Rome, and our greetings with most of them were cordial and refreshing. It carried us hack in memory to other days, when we woie younger and happier. The pleasure of our meeting seemed mutual. To me, it was most gratifying. I always feel , proud of our Gwinnett bovs who have removed to other sections, if j they do weil, and don't get above their raising! If they do, I have a con tempt for them ! A man of sense j never becomes “stuck up." It dis closes puppyism, which 1 despise! This, 1 know, is a family failing with some people. If they ate per mitted to live in a city, associate with ! respectable people,Took thiough glass ; windows, and drink out of glass turn- i biers instead of cups, they become \ wise in their ow n conceits—self-in flated and fools! The Convention was an able one, and reflected credit on the fanning , population of our State. Much gomf, j we trust, will result to our ngricul- j tural interest, and an impetus given to it that shall be beneficial to this j great interest. V\ e left Rome on the morning of the 11th, much pleased with our visit—with a hope to see the beauti* ful “City of the Hills" again when occasion and fortune may favor us. Dciroctr. From the Cincinnati Commercial, July 24. A Brilliant Achievement. Between the hour* of 4 and 11 i a m., yesterday, the Ohio and Mis sissippi Railroad (main liue) from Cincinnati to St Louis was trails formed from a broad gauge to a nar row gauge. In seven lion s, 2,500 men reduced the gauge of 340 miles of railroad fifteen inches—seven and a half inches on each side. Even to 1 those actually engaged in the work this seemed an impossibility. Up to 1 o’clock yesterday morning, broad gauge trains were rushing over the road, east and west, seeking yards from which they were never to roll again on the wide trucks ot Ills past. By ll o’clock, a. M., yesterday new engines, drawing the wide par.or cars mounted on narrow trucks, were traversing the entire length es the transformed road. How this change was accmplished we will endeavor to explain as clearly as possible. The road was divided into sixiy eight sections, of five miles each ; and an average force of forty men to the section —2,720 men in the 340 miles—was secured to jump to the work simultaneously, at all points on the road, at daybreak yes lerday. All along the line between this city and East St. Louis these working gangs commenced at day light yesterday. Each section gang was divided into two parties that worked toward ea h other from the extreme points of their five miles, aiming to meet at the middle, making [ two and one-half miles to each twen ty men. Thus the time occupied by forty average workers in changing I five miles would he the time devoted to the whole work by the entire force. Our observations of this vast hut quick work were made by special train from this city to Seymour. A big, new freight engine, No. 100, run by N. Robeson, and drawing a post office ca' 1 and a drawing room car, conveyed T. D. Lovett, Chief Engi neer of the entire line ; T. Van Name, Superintendent of the Eastern and Louisville divisions ; A. Hayward, chief opeator, Vincennes office, and our reporter. The men on the first section worked west from the city and east from the ancient an 1 re nowned stink factory of the great and only Si Keck, meeting opposite D. Thew Wright’s residence at 7:40 a. m. Ai that point, Mr. Hayward— the train having slowly followed the men working west —tapped the wire and telegraphed the time of the com pletion of the section to both this ; city and St. Louis. Even at that early-hour reports of the completion of sections were being telegraphed from many points west. The Os good sect.on was reported finished at 7, A. M. Details of the work : The task of the day was to move tLe tails inward 7£ inches on each side and spike i them firmly in their new place— alto gether 680 miles of rails of the main i line, besides many miles of switches, with their frogs. Already, in the course of two months of easy work, the now lines for the rails on both sides had b en fixed by the driving of the inside spikes, under the tops of which the inside “ web ” or shank of th* rail could he immediately fitted. Many miles of the new rails, which it was thought necessary to lay at the curves on the outside had already been put down, rendering it unneces sary to immediately move the old outside rails. The “ dentists,” as they ' might appropriately be called, two on each side, led the van with their big claw levers, jerking out the inside spikes of the broad gauge. After them, two on each 6ide also, came the “ liners,” whose business it was to push the rails inward to the new lii.es, and “ line up ” the rails firmly, while the squad of “ spikers ” that follwed drove the spikes firmly in over each ” web,” on about every other tie, leaving the completion of the spiking to be accomplished in a more leisurely mnner. Our reporter vouches for the active and energetic work of such squads as he had an opportunity to observe in their operations. They made a full mile to the hour, each squad fol lowed by a band car beaiing tools | and by boys who c.a.ried buckets ol water for them. One following these. ‘ men and watching their woik closely would have to step out briskly at times to keep up with them. Their | progress seemed almost incredible as they pushed forward with constantly rising and falling mauls and the in cessant ring ot continuous blows on spikes and rails. At a distance from them the metalic click, click, cii k, that rang from the shifting rails was caught up by the iron lines far ahead seemed to come from under the earth, making a perfect acoustic illusion! ; The reader will bear in miud that | with the Fish joint the rails form J a continuous line, and were shifted in that form, the work of the “ liners ” being directed first ou the joints and then at the middle of the rails. ' Looking ahead over a space not yet completed by the laborers, there could always be seen a strip of the old gauge suddenly narrowing into the new. The majority of the men thus em ployed at 25 cents per hour seemed to partake of the spirit of the occa siou, and to work with enthusiasm as well as for pay. They seemed to realize that they were engaged as ac tors in one of the greatest transfor mation scenes cf the age. A scene at Delhi will suffice to illustrate. In one of the gangs working to ajnnc lion tiiere was a small, rat her slim Irishman, who seemed possessed of the genius of energy, lie kept iliree or four men on the keen jump to fol low him in adjusting a frog and switch, lie was very dirty and quite slimy with perspiration, and his hands were bleeding fiom several rough cuts received in the work. Looking up and noticing a squad of men stealing a moment’s rest, he was completely overcome. “ Luck at thim Infers,” said he, l ‘d—n ’em, they’ll nicer need to change their gauge; they’re small enuf now ” and awav lie went to help “ lines up dose ” ahead. The work from Cin cinnati to Osgood, as reported by Road-master Burke, was all completed by nine o'clock. Attempted Murder.— About 9 o’clock, Monday night, near the junc tion of Marietta and Walton streets, Mr. J. G Clark, familiarly known as “ Dick CliirK,” a conductor on the Atlanta and West Point Railroad, was attacked by Taylor and W. A. Turner, and Charles F. Elliott, a brother in-law to the Turners. Mr. Clark was hit by two bullets, one in the aim and the other through the lungs. Clark is now lying in a very critical condition, and the chances for his recovery is said to he by his attending physicians, decidedly bad. At an investigation of the case had before Justice Butt ye-tarday morn ing (lie ] arties were refused bail, and committed to ja 1 to await the issue of Mr. Clark s wounds. Miss Mmnie Turner, a sister of the Turners, named above, and deeply implicated i:i til's murderous attempt, was up, and hail in her case was of fered at $2,500 until next Saturday, at which time the parties are to have imo 1 her hearing. Until after that time we shall re train from giving further particulars of tliis affair. It has created consul* able excitement and talk, and many rumors are afloat as to how it all oc curred, and the cause, etc. As above stated Mr. Claik is \ery dangerously wounded, and hut little hopes are entertained of his recov ery. —Atlanta Sun. A Bloody Tragedy. —The Savan nah Republican says: “We learn from parties who arrived in the city/ yesterday from Bulloch county, tl*e following particulars of a very nirfs terious tragedy which occurred atshe residence of Mr. Joseph Davis, in that county : About 3 o’clock Wednesday mc-nii.g the inmateskof of Mr. Davis’ house were alarmed by the screams of his wife (Mrs: Davis). Her sister ran to the room and found Mrs. Davis sitting on the bed. As soon as she entered the room Mrs. Davis said : ‘ I am bleed ing to death ; run out and call some of the neighbors,’ after which she sank down on the bed a lifeless corpse. On examination it was found that some one had cut her throat, and from the nature of the wound it is thought that it was inflicted with a pocket knife, which was afterwards found in a tub of water in the yard. At the time that the wound was inflicted, Mrs. Davis was sleeping in bed with her two little children. Her husband was off from home on a fishing frolic, and the sad news of this tragedy was as startling as it was unexpected. 1 No one can account for the diabolical outrage, nor can it he even surmised ! who was, the cowardly perpetrator ! of this damnable crime, the perfor ! niance of which should have made the very worst fiend blush for shame. j We learn that steps have been taken to ferret out the murderer, and we j hope that the effort will he success ful, and that the guilty party, if dis- i covered will he brought to immediate condign punishment.”— Constitution atist.
