Nelms has, 1>y anthoyity of the department of justice at Washington, offend a reward of five hundred dollars for the arrest of the murderer or mur derers of Deputy Marshall W. D. Ktllett. Captain Nelms is sure that James McUoy the man whoTfired the fatal shot^through the body of the deputy marshal, ami fn his published annomm inent .of thcjreward, gives a description of Mri.???oy.

A TALK Wnil CAPTAIN KF.LSI*. ??????Ye?.??? said Captain Nelms yesterday, ???I am sme that McCoy lirud the shot that passod through Kellett???s l*ody and resulted in his death. There is a most interesting story told about the two men. Ten years ago Kellett attempted to arrest McCoy aud in doing so shot McCoy in the arm. When the surgeon took the bullet from McCoy???s arm McCoy said: 'Doctor, give -mo that hall.??? For ten years McCoy kept the hall, and three weeks ago ho showed it to a crowd of men on Lookout mountain, remarking ns lie did so: ???Boys, - Bill Kellett put - that ball into me ten year.-; ago, aud I will ncVer dh satisfied until I plant it hack into his carcass/ That is a wild country up there. Tho people raise no crops, but in tho rugged wilds of tho mountains they hunt atul sell what they kill to tho valley people for com and the like. McCoy is a wonderful shot and tho gun he uses and which 1 have now in my possession is a breech loading rifle earn ing a forty-four calibre car tridge. it is said that McCoy to so expert in loading it that he could get threo shots at a deer before the auimul could get out of range. That is tho Sort of a marksman who was nurs ing his malice toward the deputy marshal. You will have to depend on your imagination for ?? description of the wild and broken char* actor of tho rogiou iu which tho man lived, Mct???cy v. as Tin: TKRROH OF IIIS NEIGHBORHOOD, and it is said ho had put five men under ground. Such thejiloody boast lib bad mads to his neighbors prior to the murder of Kellett." Captain Nelms, during his last visit to the scene of the murder, made a diagram of tho place. From it a Constitution reporter was permitted to make the following, ; which will greatly aid the reader iu understanding how the brutal assassin;.;ion was accomplished. It must be remembered that Kcllct and liis prisoner, Calvin Young, left the home of tho Youngs about half an hour by nun and approached the creek about dark. Kellett was riding aud Youcg was walking. Behind a ledge of rocks and a cluster of laurel bushes marked "A??? tbojnmrdcrcrs wero concealed. An examination of tho placo showed that the cold blooded bushwhackers had trimmed away some branches to give them a clear view of the road which was only twelve feet distant. ???B??? is a vquaro rock in the creek. ???C??? is a largo flat rock and ???D??? is a foot- log. Kellett rode down to tho creek, approach ing at tho squaro rock ???B.??? His horao turned to go down the creek, and Youugstarted across the foot-log. The a^usains behind tho ledge of rocks.??????A??? fflred, aad Kellett fqft upon-the against a clump of boshes that grew beside the ???stream. ??? ' His bat was pferred by five bucksIioF nnd Ms lmlr was grazed. That load had missed its mark. But in the middle of the hock a hall iiad eu tired and pawed entirely through tho body. It was from a 4-1-calibre rifle, and hut two men in that locality hud such a gun. Ouo was James McCoy. With the hnrd rock for his deathbed, and the lonely mountains for his surroundings, the murdered officer gave up Ills existence, while tho innocent waters gurglod by and helping to chill the lifeless form. WILL TRY TO CATCH HIM. "I will leave no stone unturned to capture the murderer," said Captain Nelms. "Yon think the whole thing was arranged and premeditated?" ' "I do. Old man Young wrote down hero for Kellett to come up and get Calvin. Kellett wont. Now listen at this: Calvin Young had iu*t Ti t in ned on Saturday afternoon late, from Whitfield county. He was* footsore and tired but, ns lie says, got n gun and went out to ???kill a crow.' On tuo trip he fell in With McCoy. Young was away all day Sunday until just 1retort* night, and the old man persuaded Kol- lett not to leave until just before night, as ho had cm mies that might do him harm." "Do you know what McCoy did when ho heard of the murder." "When the alarm was given an effort was made to get people to sit up with tho corpse. Those who went to McCoy???s house found him and JinvWiley sitting beforo tho Are. McCoy had his shoes off. When he wa?? told nl>out tho murder, bo asked the question: "What sort of a horse was ho riding???? Tho reply was that jKcIhtt was riding an iron gray. McCoy answered that ho had seen him pass the house. Ho went with the people to the place where Kellett la ing the body he grew qu ??? fhsed to stay and nit up. I may add that when wc found McCoy's fine gun it had evidently W*cn recently fired, and when we next went to see it sand had licen HUN THROUGH IT ??? in an Effort to destroy tho evidence that It had belli discharged." Captain Nelms continued: ???This is tbo seventh attack that has been made cu my deputies in tho last month, killing one deputy and one witness, sliooting-at four and cutting two with bowie knives. All of it occurred In separate places. It is not on account of ill treatment, for my deputies are uniformly kind tp all prisoners tinder their charge. One of these law breakers explained to mo that the mountain people thought when the democrats went into power they had a perfect right to wake whisky." The captain drew out an immense and MURDEROUS LOOKING BOWIE KNIFE, and said: "Here Is a bowie knife with which a man attempted to murder Deputy Marshal Hayes. The man is now in jail. My intention has al ways 1h cn to administer the federal laws with Jcimlurc* and humanity. I have not deviated from that intention, but it is well for the violator!of the revenue laws to under stand fiist as well as last that they cannot in timidate me by killing, shooting and cutting my deputies. We will follow them with new men to take the places or those they make way with, and we will take our chances on brbiging them to justice. I intend that the law sliall lie cnfnncd if I have to leave my office in charge of my two office deputies and take to tho field myself. 1 would not ask a deputy to go where i would not go myself." The <-aplain means business, and lie is not afraid of anything that walks the earth. The moonshiner* may not know this, but the cap tain???s acquaintances all know it. THE TBIAL. ???

Kcl- lett, the United States deputy marshal, who wal killed on Lookout moun tain. was before Commissioner ???Haight yesterday M a witness in the investigation against Andy Young.

Its, Twelfth Anniversary???Removal to ils New Building. The twelfth cnulversaryof the establishment of the National Surgical Institute in Atlauta, Georgia, and the occupancy by it of a now building designed and erected tor its especial use, is deemed a fit occasion for calling atten tion to the oljects, distinguishing features, and methods employed by it* founders and proprie tors in carrying forward their chosen work, The propriety and necessity lor dividing the practice of medicine into legitimate specialties is no longer called in question. The Surgeon, the Gynaecologist, file Oculist, the General Practitioner (himself a specialist), and the Pathologist, have each a legitimate field of work, broad enough to employ the best talent and labor of all who may choose to outer there in. Orthopedic surgery???the treatment of deformities of the human body???lms been tho leading idea in the Surgical Institute. Its dis tinguishing feature, now adopted by many eminent surgeons in the United States and Europe, Is the manufacture and adjustment of * appliances under the direct control and obser vation of its surgeons. In other words,instead of delegating to non-professional bauds tho se lection and application of needed apparatus in the treatment of deformities, tho surgeons of the Institute direct the construction of and adjust the appliances required,and superintend the alterations and repairs needed during tho whole course of treatment. They perform such surgical operations us may be deemed eatery, snd have general care of the surgical and mechanical treatment of their ease Tho staff of tho Institute,witli the exception of -a few additions, remains the same as it w f as twelve years ago. It would her absurd to say that men have mastered iho whole science of??? medicine. .Such a claim has up foundation in reason, and is not justified by the developments in any other branch of human knowledge, True science, discarding the???errors of tho past, onto better thing*. It is noble to ad mit the wrong and espouso tho right; it is bigotry and egotism to comlcmn what wo do not understand or cannot reach. If tho public desires reliable information in rcgnrd to; the Surgical Institute, it shfiuld either investigate for itself, or else seek information from those patients who, having been faithful to our direc tions, and having co-opcrated intelligently with our treatment, havo received the desired rolief. In cases where there is good reason to believe that the treatment proscribed can and will be carried opt, the patient is pormittnd, after a time, to return home, but it is ouly in cases when wo can implicitly rely on patients for such co-operation'that treatment at homo of tho patient can bo undertaken by the Insti tute. In 1%G9 at Indianapolis, Iudiana, tho original institute hearing our name was found ed by three, physicians and sHrgoons, each of whom had become thoroughly established and known -in the profession. In 1874 one of thoao founders of the institute established tho At lanta branch, aud in 1870 another member of the firm established tho eastern branch In Philadelphia, Pn., leaving the third member in cliargo of the busiucss in Indianapolis. Subsequently the firm was dissolved by mu tual consent, each division remaining under cliargo of its founder. The relations between hero different. cstabl tokurenta are tbwmosfc [rateable antr fmnflly. NET advance bt inn-- provcinent made by one is withheld from tho others, and together they press forward in tho work iu which they may be fairly called tho pioneers. The present location of tho Atlanta institute is central, just far enough from tho depot and railroads to escapo the smoko and noise of the engines. Churches, libraries, stores, theatres, and pub lic buildings are within easy access, and street cars that connect with othor lines to alt parts of tho city pass our doors. Those seeking our profctsional aid will find that in ournewquar ters the means and facilities for carrying on the work to which wo have devoted the best part of our lives aro largely increased and ira proved. In the past twelve years not less than five thousand cases havo been entered upon our books for treatment, aud tho results, wo believe, have been satisfactory and successful iu a larger per cent of this number, than of any equal number of liko eases at any, similar institution.

[Editors Consti tution.] At the close of the war Colonel . George W. Scott was iu command of the confederate force? in the sub-district of middle and west Florida and southwest Georgia. After tho surrender he returned to his plantation near Talla hassee,where he won the esteem and confidence of tho people of Florida, who offered him the highest honors within their reach, and which, feeling that his work was in miothcr direction than politics, he declined. Realizing that the old system had pasted away, and that planting to bo profitable with freo labor would havo to be conducted plan that would admit, of an economy of labor, Colonel Scott tamed his attention to saving all manures originating on tho plantation, com posting them with cotton seed, and to the fullest extent utilizing everything that could be made available. lie soon found, however, with all his effort*, he eouhl not get together from these sources sufficient matcral to properly manure more than one-third of his crops. As an experiment ho purchased in Baltimore a ton each of Peruvian guano and Mr. John Merryman???a aranioni- ated phosphate, tho former costing him delivered at his plantation, pne hundred and ten dollars, and tho latter eighty-five dollars in gold???these he applied on nil crops of 1H00 alongside of his compost and*obtained good results. The cost of these.fertilizers was, how ever, so high that he turned his attention to originating a substitute at home. lit his searches for information ho purchased ???Veil' Works on Agriculture in Franco,??? and several English works ou experiments with fertilizer* n England. From -these ho gathered some in formation as to the mode of preparing ???concern trated fertilizers." Having a fine crop of su- K r cane that year and, as a result, over fifty riels of syrup, he Raid to his foreman, ???ho would give a gallon of syrup for each ouo hun dred pounds of dean, dried bones, delivered ??fc his ginbouse." His foreman let this proposi tion be generally known in that densely negro populated Sectiou and It started.a string of uegroc< with bogs of bones on their heads, who soon supplied him with a pile of bones nearly as largo as his ginliotise; ho had utilized a small stream that ran through his plantation by put ting in an overshot wheel 16 feet in diameter, with which he mn a com mill, a saw gin and n roller gin, and was about to put In a sugar mill; through tho shaft of the sugar mill ho put arms to drive p set of heavy cast-iron stamps, which, with a [strong iron bod plate, constituted an efficient mill for crushing tho. hones???these, after a careful screening by "Old Major,??? were wlieqled and dumped into a wooden tank, whore they wero treated with sulphuric acid which was shipped from Now York in carboys, and after a thorongh manip ulation by "Uncle Milton??? and ???Harry" with hoes and long-handled spades, wero turnod out a tolerable article of superphosphate; this was composted with cotton seed, making a com pound which gave lino results on cotton mid corn. Finding in tho English and Freuch woiks referred to that experiments mado with rape-seed enko compostod with phosphate gavo good results, ho concluded to test cotton-seefi cake and sco what fertilizing properties it hnd and if it could not ho utilized. In 18417, ho there fore procured a ton of cotton seed efiko from New Orleans, had it analyzed, and finding it contained rather more nitrogen than rapo-snod cake, he had it broken up aud ground; in this pulverized state it was mixed with bone phosphate and wood ashes; this mixture gave marked tosults,??? oven alongside .of the mixture of phospbato and cotton seed??? llie reasons were apparent, the raoal wa?? ; ln a condition to bo hssimnlated ns riant food and ono pound of it contained ns much am* aionia as three pounds of seed, thus making a much more concentrated iriantiro. Ho also found In tho works mentioned, that tho florists and gardeners of tho nobility when flowers* aud vegetables were desired out of season, forced them to maturity in tho con servatories by use of a solution of nitrato of seda and sulphate of ammonia. All tlicso ideas lie combined, realizing that in tho bone he had tho l??cst known base???that in tho pure ammonia which would go into solution as soon as it ramo in contact with tho tnoisturo in the soil, he hnd a material that would at once push forward tho young that in the cotton a it went into decomposition in the soil and thus carrying the plant through tho season without danger of sheading* By tho use of high grade muriate as the potash material bo hnd tho for* mula complete for tho now fumous Gossypium phospho???cotton phosphate???Gossypium being the generic name of cotton. Boon after tho discovery of tho. phosphate beds in South Carolina, Colonel fkott Vos in vited to join his friends in Charleston iu tho organization of tho Stoiio prosphato company, was made one of the fimt board of directors, and was, until u few years ago, actively con nected with the interests of that compnny. In 1675 he came to Atlanta, und in the following spring commenced, iu u small way, tho man- ipulatioiqofGossypium, having had tho various materials properly prewired at tho chemical laboratories ready for his use. When ho flrat tolled at the agricultural department and re quested on inspection and analysis, stating tliat the ammoutatfng material was derived lurgoly from cotton seed meal, the commissioner, Dr. Janes, said "ho doubted if ho could ndmit it to inspection, as It could hardly ho classed os a commercial. fertilizer-???the planters having at homo the material in a hot ter form, i. e., cotton seed.??? After a suggestion from Colonel Scott tlmt liu bad come here to make it, and if it was a fraud it was tho duty of tho de partment to expose it, it was inspected and gos* sypium phospho regularly started on its career ns a full fledged commercial fertilizer. At this time tbo mills were paying only eight to ten ccnpi per bushel for cotton seed, for the reason there was no market for tho cake, and depend ing alone on the sale of tho oil, they could uot afford to pay more. Writing to a prominent mill for prices on 300 tons of meal, the party gavo It, but said they feared he would overstock himself, as they had never sold so much to a home market. Now, to realize the great change tliat the introduc tion of this fertilizer has been largely instru mental in bringing about, wo will mention that muny thousand,tons of cotton seed meal are now used In Atlanta alone. The mills aro laying the planters 10 to 18 cents fqr the seed, and Messrs, Scott & Co., are furnishing the ianters their high grade fertilizer at lets than no third the cost or 0.standard fertilizer when Colonel Scott first commenced the use of cotton seed meal. The cotton seed mill? have in creased since tliat time from aliout six to 1.71, and thus cotton seed, which wasnlmo<ita waste on the plantation, has become ono of the val uable farm prodnet* of the.South. In the meantime, Gossypium has grown so steadily in favor and their trade has so largely increased that Messrs..Scott & Co. found 'it ne cessary to enlarge the rapacity of thtfir works. They havo, therefore, just completed probably altogether the most complrte iminufarturing establishment In the United States. The buildings aro const meted most substantially and arranged with every cohveulenee for handling the im- inensc quantity of goods turned out. The machinery is oil of the most approvod^kind, including the new process of gnnding???plio*- hatc with steel .rollers. By ttiia process the phosphate remains in the mills until it is so completely pulverized that it will float out in an atmospheric current, thuk securing an even grade of fowls. The mixer discharges tbo arid phosphate Into an iron car which carries it out on a track 0 feet above'the floor of the immense deposi tory mom, w hich Is twp hundred feet long and hundred and twelve feet wide, into which it .j discharged In a *aul*lhinid state, where it remains qntil ail tho acid Is taken on and tire material rendered soluble. The *l??-pMftory building and the six fctory mill bunding ad joining, are clad (sides, and roof; with heavy corrugated iron. Their new chemical works consists of two complete se4a of sulphur and nitre furnaces, Glover A Gay-Lussac -towers, principal and secondary chambers. Tho tower room is of brick, seven stories high and contains four towers,each constructed of Iron and lined with lead. The chamber building is 200 feet by 71 and contains tho four chambers, which aro con structed entirely of lead. Tho two principal chambers are each 140 feet long, 28 feet wide and twenty feet high. The daily run from these chambers is about 4,000 gallons of fify degree boma sulphuric acid. The pro cess is qbiut as follows: The sulphur fumes arising from the burning sulphur are con ducted under the nitre furnace and brought up ever the burning nitre. Hero the sul phurous and nitrous ftnues unite and are car ried into an enormous retort, where they are partially cooled. They then pass into the lower part of the glover or cooling ^tower, where they are met with a shower of cold sul phuric arid which has been evenly distributed over the top of the tower by a set of glass tur bine wheels. After the Aimes are thus cooled they arc passed into tho chambers. Hore the lumcs are met with jets of stoam, and are thus condonsod into liquid sulfihuric acid. From tho pans of the chambers the sulphuric arid is conducted through the cooliug tanks into the choinical egg, from which it is forced by means of a powerful air pump into the sixth story of tho mill building. Hero the sulphuric arid and ground phosphates are each carefully weighed out In proper proportions to nutko one ton of high grade acid phosphate; they arc then passed together into ouo of Chisolm???s patont propeller mixers, where they aro thoroughly mixed, and from thonco taken by tho iron ear and cast into the groat acid depository. To give our readers an idea of this great establish ment wo will mentiou that there wero used in tho construction of improvements put in this summer, ono Imudrod and eighty carloads of grauito, 600,000 brick, 600,000 feet of lumber, 323,000 pounds of iron, 50,000 chemical brick, find 330,- 000 pound* of lend.
