THE SOU THESE Q] ATLANTA, QA.,::::::::: MAY 27, 1868. XjOO^Xj AF^JfiLXJp^S. xmic*-To Advertisers.—Tf fesnre in- . Jiln advertisements mart be handed Im by one J^gS on tbe day of publication. BY Zsv Tomson is * miserable man to-day. n c went to the circus last night and lost his Il0 oket book. A thief stole it out of his packet. Zed asks us to advertise that the Scoundrel may keep the two cents it had in it. if he will return the wallet, and «no questions asked* From a sick bed he writes that the man of the “iron nerve” was « a fine work of art" in the lions* cage, and that Miss Sen- orita Clementina Baspberryanna was per fectly lovely in the “ Tiger Cage" If there were any legs in the circus that reached up as high as the “Black Crooks” Zed -couldn't see it” The Fairy Ring.—As will be seen by re ference to our advertising columns, **Tftm O'Sbanter” will be produced at the exhi bition Thursday night, in addition to “Fai ry King.” The poem will be recited by Master Bell, and illustrated by Pantomimic tableaus, in which we don’t know how many beautiful girls will take a part. The entertainment will have an additional fea ture which will make it attractive, in the (•erson of Georgia's most honored son, Al exander II. Stephens, who will be present as a visitor. Great Southern Mail Rout*.—We were pleased yesterday with a call from I)r. J. S. Dorset, the General Agent of the Great Southern Mail Boute at this place. The Doctor informs us that the route has never before been so successfully man aged as it now Is; that thorough Repairs have been made along the entire line, both in the track and rolling stock; that the freight capacities of the lines to Richmond and Washington have been nearly doubled, while the tariffs have been very much re duced. The time from here to Washing ton or Richmond by that route If low nearly one-half less than by any other route. ,, Patronizing Circuses.—We know that we are not entrusted with the keeping of public morals, and that we are in no per sonal degree responsible fbr what other l»eople do; yet we must express a regret that so many older people should he the instruments of familiarizing their children with every character of vice, by taking them into the society of the most aban doned and wicked creatures on earth; hiking them to places where the worst class of fallen men and women arc per mitted to Congregate, and where they will inhale the very essence of crime. Shame! Think of the party with whom they as- soeiated their children, ending the Circus by a general fight. Again we say shame! Police Items —Eight soldiers went on a large drunk, and after the style of their profession, got fighting drunk, and con cluded to whip out the circus and all the negro patrons who had remained there up to u late hour last night. The flrhfc was a .’.^graceful affair, growing out of the pres ence of a large crowd of abandoned women who had been there all the evening. In the midst of their revels, the police ••drapped" down upon them, and locked them up until this morning, when they were turned over to the military. Miss Annie Beckley, who was some days :igo locked up in default of payment of line, was released tills morning upon her prom- i'C to pay up in a few days. Becky Boyd, negress, was arrested for keeping late hours. Large Stealing.—About a year ago Mr. W. II. Clark took a negro boy of about -• vonteen,\>ut of the Chain Gang, and had him bound to him until he was twenty- one. For several months past the boy has been calling at the clothing store of W. B. Lowe A. Co., on Whitehall street, for Mr. Clark's letters. ( Mi Saturday last Mr. Dallas observed the )oy. who was at the front end of the store, place a coat under his coat and start out He followed him, when the boy dropped the garment and made his escape, but was ar rested on Monday by Lieut. Tim Murphy. Missing several articles of goods, they -ct a detecti\e to work, who has so far re covered about $2$0worthjof goods at New i ork cost. These goods had been sold by tlie boy to any person who would buy them, the largest price which he asked for a fine coat being three dollars. Letters Held for Postage.—Post Ov ule. Atlanta, Ga., May 27, 1868.—The following letters are held for postage in tin- office and will be sent to the Dead Letter ofiice if not prepaid before the 1st ofJune: John Butler, Augusta, Ga. Hon. A. Corbitt, Lawton, Ga. Dr. Ford, the cancer Dr Henry Co., Atlanta, Ga. Mr.-. M- S. Garlick. Salem. Ala. .'dr. Lankford, Jonesboro, Ga. <L II. MeCaiuy, Tunneil llill, Ga. W. R. Montgomery, Marietta, Ga. Dr. R. Noble, Jonesboro, Ga. O:\borne Watson, Atlanta, Ga. J. C. Daniels, Mailing Clerk. formerly of From onr Exchanges.] art met at noon. Motions to proceed with the remaining articles were lost—28 to 26. Amotion adjourning to 13 d Jane was lost by a tie. Vote on 2d and 3d articles resulted in acquittal, when a motion adjourning the Court sine die prevailed. "In then Senate Anthony, Wiley and Tan Winkle denied the newspaper report^ that Chase had endeavored to influence their vote, and Fessenden denied hia^dentifica- tion with the preposed third party, and announced his determination to support the Republican nominee. House.—A motion granting Wooley twenty-four hours to prepare his answer was tabled. A motion that tiie Speaker propound cer tain questions to the prisoner prevailed. The Speaker announced that the func tions of the Managers had ceased. A resolution continuing them as a com- mittc to continue corruption investiga tions, prevailed. A protest that the committee on investi gation, in which the minority was un represented, was overruled by the Speak er, “the House controlled and could entrust investigation to whom it pleased.” A motion to add two members who had voted against impeachment, was tabled on Butler's motion—60 to Cl. Wooley answered with a protest, which has been published, and announced him self willing to answer any questions which the House might direct. EM. The managers maintained that the com mittee represented the authority of the House, and Wooley had no right to ques tion the propriety of their questions. The House sustained this view, and Wooley was ordered into close confine ment in the Capitol until he pqrges him self of contempt by answering such ques tions as the committee propounded. The House went into a committee on In dian appropriations and adjourned. Wooley is confined in the room of the Committee of Foreign Affairs. The excitement in the Court this morn ing was intense. On all preliminary ques tions Boss voted with the majority. He also moved an amendment to the motion adjourning the Court to the ftmt of Sep tember. It was thought these votes Indi cated that Rosa had gone over. The grave question turned upon hl3 vote. When his name was called, Ross rose from his seat pale, but otherwise gave no indications of excitement. Trial ot President Daria. Richmond, May 20.—Judge Chase having assented to June 3d as the day for the com mencement of Jefferson Davis* trial if im peachment had been terminated by that time, it is understood to-day that the trial will certainly take place at that time. From Louisiana. New- Orleans. May 26.—The grand jury waited upon General Hancock in a body yesterday, accompanied by the Attorney General and District Attorney, and made complaint that the Chief of Police avowed himself in possession of knowiedge ®f the whereabouts within the State of a noted burglar, named Watson, who he agreed to arrest if compensated. .a Refusing to give the necessary informa tion to the Sheri ft' to enable him to make the arrest, Watson has forfeited his bond. The charge was supported by affidavits of the Sheriff and Deputies. The Grand Jury stated that the offense was not covered by any law of the State, and asked the action of the Commanding General, who replied lie would investigate and take necesaary steps in the matter. Baptist Home Xitniun. Louisville.

Gordon, an old and univer sally known citizen, died in this city yes terday afternoon, at 2 o’clock. He was born on the 13tli day of June, 1776, and hence only lacked eighteen days of being seventy-tw o years of age. He had come down to us from the eigh teenth century, and had seen the American Republic when its now fertile lands were a vhgin wilderness. No man now living in Middle Georgia was better known. He was for a long time a citizen of Jones county, which he often represented in the Legislature. For several months his health has been very poor, and although his im mediate friends and kindred expected his earlv demise, the news of his death will sadden many hearts. After a long and an eventful life he lias at last been gathered to his children and friends gone before. May his soul rest in peace!—Macon Messenger, May 26.

WHITEHALL STREET ATLANTA, GA. marVI—dV A Child With Four Legs.—A few days ago, Mrs. Corban, wife of W. II. Corban, living on the farm of James Tharp, Esq., two and a half miles noith of Millville, Lincoln county, gave birth to a female child with four distinct and well developed leg* and feeL The extra pair of legs are in front of and rather between the natnral pair, and-are fully developed and a* well shaped in every particular as the others, except that they are shorter, and are re versed, so that the toes of the feet point to gether. The most wonderful feature of this ‘\urious freak of nature is that the genera tive and unimrv <»-tr:ui£ are also in dupli- c te. The mother and cliliu are ut>u. well. These facts are vouched for by Mr. John Tharp, a trustworthy gentleman, who lives on the place and lias seen the child.—Nash- ville Banner. ■ ■■■ - ■■■ —— Preparation of Seed Corn.—The Rome Courier states upon the authority of two practical planters in Floyd county, that if seed com is soaked in saltpetre—say a half pound to the bushel—neither crows squir rels. moles, grub-worms or other insects will harm it.
