ATLANTA, <3--A..:
Of* The Savannah Advertiser, in notie-
ing the disaster to the train on the Central
Railroad last Thursday, thus alludes to the
narrow escape of the Express messenger,
Mr. HH1, from being crushed to death, and
his meritorious conduct. It says:
Mr. John C. llill. the mesMDjfer of the
Southern Express Company, was in his car
at tiie time of the accident,and was thrown
among the wreck. When he came to his
senses he found himself tightly jammed in
among the contents of his car, with the
forward truck (dose to his head, the heavy
iron safe within two inches of his side, and
several boxes and packages piled up overt
Promotion and Discipline in tm
French Armtv—The non-commissioned
officers in the French army are not often
reduced to ranks, although the colonel of
the regiment has the power to do so. They
ure generally punished by confinement to
barracks, or arrest In their quarters; or If
on active service, in the tents which serve
as the aalle de police. For offenses against
honesty, or for insubordination, they are i
always tried by a court martial. The eoni-
iiiiHHioTied officers, in like manner, are pun
ished by from three to thirty days’ arrest j
in their own quarters fbr any omission in >
matters of duty, or on account of anv folly
for which their youth may plead with the
Colonel not to Imj hard upon them. Some- I
times an officer who ha* misbehaved is ex
changed into another regiment, and occa
sionally, but rarely, is placed on the non |

AYc have no idea that either of the above
named gentlemen had anything to do with
Issuing “Order No. ID.” Ami, if they sym
pathized with the Intelligencer, we have no
doubt but that Journal would pronounce
them all gentlemen of “large persona] in-
tluenee, commanding intellect, and over
powering eloquence.” But they happen to
be iu favor of the Union Republican party,
lienee they have not “an ordinary degree”
of “personal influence, intellect and elo

to which we refer.

Z3T A correspondent at Mule Iloek
writes that up to the 20th Inst. 2,032 persons
had registered in that township, of which
741 were whites and 1,201 colored, it is
predicted that about four thousand voters
will bn registered in Pulaski county, and
that the Republican majority will be at
least two thousand. Our informant says:
The colored men will stand by tlielr^Jte-
puhlican friends, although the Conserva
tives are moving heaven and earth to de
feat us, and they an; well organized. They
hope, by registering as many of their ad
herents as possible, and keeping the ne
groes from the polls, to defeat (tic exiling

however, arc confident of achieving a
tory, although the opposition coiitliiiix to

After a few more people had detected a

should be opened. ThU was done, anil a
