GEORGIA WEEKLY OPINION THE WEEKLY OPINION, BT W. I. 8CEUQG8 AND J. B. BUMBLE. •** THURSDAY MORNING i 111; i i NOV. If. Tiik Cjty,—A more quiet and orderly city than Atlanta la not to be found any- where. Her lDt of police arreata are ao email that they are unworthy of record. It la very aeldom that aflneliaa to bo Indicted upon any one fbr vlolatlona of city ordl- nancea. It la doubtleaa true that ahe haa aa many bar-rooms, billiard saloons, and other place* of a almllar character, aa any city of her alee, but tlita doea not ecem to lead those who frequent them Intodeeda of outlawry. Taking It a* o w hole, Atlanta la a model city. Fulton Superior Court la still In session. As yot no case of special Importance liu* been tried. Tho Round House of. tho Georgia Ball- road la rapidly approaching completion.— It Is the largest and moat substantial build ing of tho sort In this section of the State. Fresh country butler sold yesterday from wagons at tweuty-8ve cents a pound. S" eet potatoes were selling on theatreets yesterday from wagons at forty to llfty cents per bushel* The approach of the holidays will he cer tain to set those who design making snb- | stautlal presents on the lookout. If their wits are sharp they will list overlook the proposition of essrSls. Meltrlde & Co. \ The AUlita market yesterday witnessed the busiest day of the season ill cotton transactions.

Snrrr's Muxtiily Msciazink.—Judging from the very, fortunate arrangement which Doctor Scott has made, having asso ciated with him the Honorable Daniel Pittman in Its publication, we predict for his valuable magazine a career of useful ness and piosperlty. The October and No- vomlier numbers will bo Issued Immediate ly. and the December number 111 the early part of the month. Having also .combined with the magazine tho Ladles* Home Ga zette, the patrons of both euterprlz.es will he furnished w ith “Scutt't Monthly Maga zine,” which promises not only to siistsili its already well earned reputation, hut will become more attractive and Interest ing If pos Iblc in the future. Mr. Pittman Isa young man of sound reading, profound judgment and large experience, and being thoroughly posted In tho practical details of the publishing business, lie will prove an Invaluable adjunct in the prosecution of such an enterprise. ltn.MK.MnFH Till! Pook.—Time 111 Its un wearied flight siieeds hurriedly along and Is rapidly gathering the Autumnal season of eighteen hundred and sixty-seven Into the Infinitude of the past and ushering In upon us the bleak and chilly blnets of Win ter with her “ aablo pall of sky anil bil lowy hills swathed In snowy robes** will he the reigning monarch of the city, tho vil lage. the mountain and the glen. The best of us when .contemplating the near ap proach of the season when, tho - ' Polar spirit* sweeps Tho il.-t -fa. d warlil and l«m|a>»t.troubled deep. that we imagine that our lot In this world Is indeed a hard one. and that we are illy prepared for its reception. How many tlicru be who, surrounded not only with the comforts, hut reveling In the luxuries of life, are disposed to murmur over their condition, forgetting the thousands of hu man beings around them who, tvlih hag. gard face and tattered garments, hut “live as they lisp,” are eking out a miserable ex istence III some uncouth hovel which only • irves to designate their place of abode rather than ns a shield to tlielr hotly from the piercing Windsor Winter, who would be thankful even lor the crumbs which are thrown from the table of tlielr more fortu nate neighbor. When fortune smiles upon us and we urc In poascsalon of and sur rounded with the good things of this lifts, we should not fall to remember llie poor.— It la ail Injunction of Divine origin, and •those who reftise to heed It, do H at tlielr <iwn peril. However much we may Ignore tho principle taught In that maxim -which says, "he that gtveth to the poor leniloth to the Lord," It Is. ueverthleas, a 1 struth which la Incontrovertible. It Is true that Onr city has her full share of |Kwr people—anil It Is also tree that many of our citizens are In struiteued ■circumstances, but knowing the generos ity of our people we do not hesitate to re. mind them of tlielr duty. The Winter ap proaches mid the thousands of destitute women and children In our city must be provided for. to some extent. last us not -cast them off In contempt, but treat them kindly, nhd aid them to the extent of onr ability. Many of them are the whlows and orphans of those who olfered up their lives ns a libation upon the altar of their coun try In defence of the "lost Cause,” The strong arm and brave heart which once shielded them from penury and want now . sleeps that long and dreary sleep—Is num bered among the pale nations under the ground? and It now becomes a positive \ duty that wc look after tlielr welfare, and extend to thorn whatever assistance tho nature of our circumstances will admit of. Qf*Thc Republicans claim to have 5,000 majority In Wisconsin, and about 0,000 In Minnesota. They also claim that tho ne gro suffrage proposition waa carried In tho latter .Stato by about ZfiOO majority. Continue Youir Organizations, In tlielr bitterness of.gplrlt, our dis union cotemporarloe are liberal In an nouncing their programme to defeat Re construction. Disappointment prompts the utterances they are glvlug out—not the wisdom of the itatesman. It la to be hoped tbe friends of Recon struction will prepare to meet the power ful organization wh'ch contemplates en tering tbe field against them. If tbe Union men of Georgia fall In the next contest It will be tlielr own fault—they will bo forever recorded In history as having proven recreant to principle and duty 1 Abuse of men—whether military or civil officials—wo can afford to disregard. In deed. It would he charitable to complacent ly view such ebiiliilioHS. It no doubt does our opponents a powerful sight of good, while it works no harm. Blit wc must be stent in the perforniauce of duty, In order to prevent the schemes of the opposition from being successful, when the final struggle comes, on. Sneers new should only lie met with efforts to organize the Union Hosts—abuse how by labor becomes a triumph hereafter. We repeat our warn ing. Forewarned we should be fore armed '. Tine Ststb Lunatic Asylum.—Dr. Thomas F. Green. Superintendent of the State Lunatic Asylum, was In tlie olty yes terday, on business connected with Ills charge. After over twenty t ears expe rience In this Institution, the Dr. Informs us that Ids "family” Is largor now than at any former period—tho patients at present iiuuilierliig over three hundred and seven ty. Thirty-nine are colored, and tho build ings prepared for this class of patient* will only allow the admission of live more. The buildings allotted to the white patients are filled to overdowhig. When wo reflect 1 upon tho inadequacy of the Asylum build ings, It must he admitted that the Superin tendent tins a troublesome charge, ami that the admirable manner In which he Is man aging. reflects great credit upon him and Ids assistants. Dr. U. will return to Ids charge to-day. Bknkvoi.kst Institutions ok ttikStatf.. We laaru tint Gen. Fopo has directed Treasurer Jones to disburse from tho State Treasury, during the ensiling year, tu the several benevolent institutions of the State, amounts equal to the appropriations made last year by the legislature. This will enable the unfortunates to be provided for. The taxes now being collected, with other Incomes of the State, w ill supply the moans There Is, therefore, no necessity of the government wheels stopping for want of pecuniary “gravel” Spunky.—The Nashville Uulon publishes a statement to tho effect that Monroe coun ty, Kentucky. Is to vote again on the ques tion of subscribing $100,000 to the Chesa peake anil Ohio railroad. Tho former vote only lacked two votes of being a three- fifth vote. Mr. Oliver Bcirne, a wealthy gentlemen of Monroe cocnty. Is said to have assured the agents of the road that the road should not stop even if his coun ty did not subscribe tho 8300,000 requires! ot her. as tu that evunt he would take the whole amount himself—and he is aide to do it. 1ST A London letter, dated October *30. vs: -Americans who have given the summer to ttie Continent are on the wing for home, and sotneof them give a few days In passing to London. General McClellan was here last week, but Is not going home, though some of Ids family ure. General Garfield Is here. Edna Dean Procter left this week for a tour through England, af ter a Journey ofa year and u half where few Americans have penutrnted, through South eastern Russia, far off the lino of any tourist route. Some of the American Bishops arc still here. I saw this morning Bishop Lee, of Iowa, whom the Times treats with the Impertinence It Is wont to display equally to English Bishops mid to Americans.” BY* An agent of the Danish Government has arrived In Washington to negotiate a sale of the West India Island of St. Thomas, to the United States. Mr. Seward, It Is reported, has offered seven millions for the Island, hut the Dsncs ask double Mint sum. Noticing this fact the Commer cial saya: “Considering that about every thing in tho shape of buildings It period ically swept from tbe island by hurricanes, most people will be Inclined to think the Secretary’s offer la quite liberal.” TThe special Washington correspond ent of the Cincinnati Commercial, writing on tbe lOte, says: The President will, III a few days, appoint a Secretary of War to succeed Mr. Stanton, treating the Tenure- of-office Act, In the casa of the member of tbe Cabinet not appointed by himself, as Inoperative. Tho name of tho new Secre tary Is not yet made known, but It fa be lieved It will bo a “conservative Republi can." QT* ft Is stated that In a reccct conver sation President Johnson said ho regarded tho financial question as the most Impor tant now before the country. He has no sympstliy with tho views recently set forth hr either Butler or Pendleton, on tho sub ject, but agrees with the opinions of Scene tary McCulloch, and believes In n contrac tion of tho currency, and a speedy return to specie payments. CWTho National Cemetery on Stone Rtvcr battlo ground has thus for, bad four thousand seven hundred end forty-live bodies re-burled In its beautiful grounds. Tbe interments will bo completed by Christmas, and will number six thousand ouo hundred and fifteen. Washington Items, Dispatches of the 11th announced that the President fats finally mads up bis mind not to send the annual message to Congress until the first Monday in December. Aside from other reasons, It appears that several of the departmental reports wUl not be ready In time for the November session. Several gentlemen who had Interviews with Mr. Johnson on the lOtb, mentioned to him tho report that Collector Bmythe had been tenedeed a position In the Cabinet, whereupon the^’resldent said that tbere was not ono word of truth in It. The pressure for office Is Just now beat Illustrated by the fact that there are nearly twenty candidates for tlie vacant collector- ship at Brownsville, Texas. Secretary McCulloch has declared his In tention of recommending radlcnl modifica tions of certain portions of tho Internal revenue system, especially thoao relating to the tax on distilled spirits and tho bon ded warehouses. Tiik Pkadoity School I ionatjon—Dr. too*.—Tho Bov. Dr. Scars, Gcnral Agent of the Trustees of the l’ealioily School Donation to the Southern and Southwes tern States, arrived 111 the city on Sunday last, and we are Informed will remain during tho week. Ho purposes to attend the meeting of tho State Teachers’ Associ ation, to lie held In this city to-morrow, and. by Invitation, is oxpectcd to address that body on the general subjects which will engage its attention. Ur. Sears Is originally from Rhode Is- Innil. hilt rnnro recently from Virginia. He Is one of the most cminet educators In too nation, and Ills selection as actuary by the Imnrd of distinguished men to whom Mr. Peabody confided the disbursement of hU munificent gift. Is high testimony to his fitness for tho Important t rust. At a meeting of the City Board of Education yestcnfiiv, lie was Invited during his stay to visit tlie public schools, and we hope that lie will generally receive the marked at tention which he deserves, from nil who have educational matters in charge. The terms of the bequest are liberal and com prehensive. and it Is not Improbable, It a proper impressions can bo made on Dr. Bears In regard to our condition, that wc shall reap a portion of Its benefits. We clip tho above from tlie Nashville Union, of the 12th. Wo presume Dr. 8. will extend his love of observation, and make the Gate City one of tho prominent points. Tho friends of education should be on the alert. tST The Macon Telegraph of yesterday morning advocates the assembling of a Convention to mnke preparations to defeat the Constitution that may tie framed. It Is taken for granted “that nothing will be presented that wc can ratify with honor and safety to tho State;” therefore, says the Tclcgrph, "we should defeat the Con stitution to lie formed by the approaching Convention, if possible,” So far as our co- temporary la concerned, then, bis mind is made up. What if he should be wrong in his preconceived prejudices? Wo suggest ho wait awhile, as be has already waited so long. lie might find It prudent to do so. tlT'Beferrlng to tho dispatch sent abroad from Montgomery, on Saturday last, to tho effect that tlie State Convention now In session contemplated a repudiation of the Indebtedness of the State of Alabama, the Sentinel says: This assertion is a most base one. Wo can speak advisedly w hen we say, that the Convention will not only endorse, but will devise means to meet promptly overy species of Indebtedness of Alabama, exist ing on the 10th day of January, 1807, as W i ll ns the Interest accruing thereon. Financial.—^The Secretary of the Treas- has 830,000.000 In 10-40 bonds yet in Ills hands. Halms written a letter to Now York, stating. In reply to Inquiries, that it Is not his Intention to put thens nil on the market at pre-cut. There linvo been a few sales of them made lately, :i limited de mand having sprung up. CV'Tlic State Teachers Association of Tennessee met at Nashvlllo yesterday. Tb" Govcanor of the State. In a publication, directed State Uocclvera on tho various railroads to transport delegates to and fro free of charge; and requested the offi cers of railroads under company manage ment to do Ukewlse. ty Gen. Grant haa ordored more troops to Washington. Three companies of tho Twentr-nlnth United States Infantry ar rived from Lynchburg on tho 10th. These troops wUl enter upon garrison duty, and and will be reinforced In a few days by tiro other companies of tho same regiment. Macoh Cotton Mabkkt.—Tho Telegraph of yesterday reports good figures, which, It states, Includes government tax, aa fol low! : The Inquiry Tuesday was not so brisk aa n Monday, owing to tho unfovorablo tenor of New York and Liverpool dispatches, and sales of tbe better qualities were more difficult to effect at 10c. Holders, howover, refused to submit to a decline on middlings, and our market closed at that figure. The lower grades were more difficult of sale, and could only bo disposed of at a dccllno of J*c. on previous quotations. __r We Infer, from a letter to tho Atlanta Opinion that contains nothing on tho sub- Jeot, that Col. Charles It. Hopkins, now of Savannah, la anxious to bo President of tho Piebald Convention. It is generally under stood In tho up-country that tho delegates will try to glvo some respectability to tho body byeicctlug Judge Irwin, of Cobb.— ilacon THtgraph. Either of the gentlemen named would “fill tho blU.” The Western Press. Prom tbs Missouri BomocrstJ The meeting of tho Western Associated Press was pleasant and harmonious. Its members gained n much bettor undemand ing of thcTr Interests than somo had before possessed, and, by the pertonaUntercourea and acquaintance, became, we trust, more disposed to act together in aid of those great enterprises and movements which are demanded for the welfare and prosper- lty of tbe G rest West. We hope, also, that members from otter cities found tlielr visit In this city so for agreeable that they .may not be Inalapoaed to return; and If, at any time, they should weary of the thronged noisy streets of those great cities, Chicago and Cincinnati, and should long for a few hours of resptto they will come to St. Louis. Tlie Westorn press ought to work to gether. We have had a Southern policy and ar. Earnest policy. Each, perhaps, has answered in times gone by. It Is about time to have a Western policy. It taabout tlmo to begin to work together for all en terprlses that will incrcaso tho wealth, hasten the prosperity, and develop the re sources of the West, attract population hither, diversify our Industry, ami enlight en, educate and guide tho pcoplu of the heart of the continent. It Is time to forget local jealousies in hearty efl'ort for the common advantage. It is tlmo to realize that every movement that helps any part of this great valley helps every part. The press, If united, can already wclld a vast power, and the time Is not far dlstantwhcn, within the area represented In the associa tion, a busy, industrious, intelligent popu lation of sixty millions will hold absolute power In the Republic. Tho Republican, wo observe, expressed Its surprise and gratification at finding among tho representatives of journals politically hostile gentlemen of courteous bearing, genial disposition, and broad and liberal views. We trust that something of the same impression may have been pro duced In other cases, ami that mutual in tercourse and Interchange of thought may remove some of tho asperities of newspa per controversy. When wo meet, face to face, wo find it perfectly practicable to differ In opinion without ealllngcach other hard names or ascribing to each other un worthy motives. Why insy not discus sions in the press be conducted with some thing of the same good temper and charity ? Above all, shall we at the West not learn what our coteinporaries nt tho East seem not to have discovered, that the true news paper Is impersonal—impersonal in its management, impersonal In its objects, ab solutely freo from personality In Ita dis cussions? Shull we not bear In mind that there are battles In which tho victors are always tho vanquished; laurels which no honorable newspaper can afford to win ? Already there has grown np nt tho West a powerful, fearless, and Independent Journ alism, outstripping oven the metropolitan press In energy In the collection ot news, and comparatively freo from that perpetu al washing of unclean linen In public places which makes the disputes of T. W. and H. G. and the rest so tedious. Shall wo not persevere In improvement#, and show tho country what It has not yet seen, a model journalism. Salk ok tiik Stkvbkxvillk Railroad—* An Excitin'! Time— Vie Line Purchantl for foe Pennsylvania Central Jtaiheay Company. Tho sale of that portion of tho Pittsburg and Steubenville RallroadJyingnvithln tho State of 1'cnusylranlu, took pluco at the Court-house yesterday, and attracted con siderable Interest. A few days since wc gUYC tbo particulars of tho circumstances under which the road was ordered to bo sold, and the object sought to bo attained by those pressing tho sale, so that It is un necessary to do more now than relato what transpired yesterdny when tho work camo under tho hammer of the auctioneer for disposal. Our good-humored and energetic friend, Captain Harry Smithson, officiated on the occasion, and. after stating the terms of the sale, Ac- started business with a bid of $'20,000. from which tho price advanced phlly to $300,000, in bids of 81,000 each. There were now a few scattering bids, lich brought the price up to $o00,000, icn Mr. W. 1!. Ellis, of New York, star tled the audience by offering 81,000,000. -Mr. Ellis represented a number of parties, whose claims would have been completely* wiped out had the Pennsylvania Railroad been able to avrange matters so that it could get the road at its own figure, ami his hid. showing that he meant mischlci; caused quite a hurry of excitement among tho representatives of tho •• big” corpora tion, who were present in force, awaiting tho result. After a little consultation, Mr. Howard, Solicitor for tho Pennsylvania Central, put on another 830.000, but was soon over- top|>ed by Mr. Ellis, who bid 810,000 more, From this it crept gradually up to $1,600,- 000. TheirMr. Ellis relieved the monotony somewhat by putting it up to $1,630,000. Tho excitement now ran quite high, and thoso who expected that the Pennsylvania Railroad would get the work for a "mere song ” began to look anything but comfort able. Rids of 810.000 each now followed each other In rapid succession, until 81,000,- 000 was retched, with Mr. Ellis still ahead. Legal Advertisements. UPSON COUNTY SHERIFF’S SALE. .
