POK THE nrauraocn, AMIkcr Letter Irem M»J. Bell. Atlanta, Ga., July 28,1869. Tbe owitrnverey between tbe State Treasurer ami myself has not been sought or desired by roe, but, on tbe contrary, l have endeavored, by every means that bouor and sell-respect would time been engaged, having been appointed by tbe Governor. For this service tbe warrant was drawn at tbe rate of $150 00 per month, and as no salary was lixed by law tor tins clerk, the GoveAtoTj in his discretion, fixed it a« above.—. It isthe same that has been allowed other clerks, both in the Executive office and in the office ot justify, to avoid it This controversy first grew j Superintendent of Public Works. Also, the out of a correspondence between the Governor , clerks employed to make county maps, Ac., all ami this Office, elicited by a note < il inquiry from j which the Treasurer has heretofore paid, with- the former. In my reply, 1 stated that 1 had not i out dn-uhting their propriety, so far as I am in- approved warrants drawn upon a fund that wjts j formed. Hut why did the Treasurer pay exhausted, or warrants drawn u|<on the wrong fund, or drawn when there was nc appropriji turn to meet them. My reply was com lied jn hs respectful language as 1 could command, apd even exhibited a scrupulous abstinence front any discourteous allusions to the action or mo tive* of the Treasurer, whatever. His first eif. tort was to prove that my answers to the Gover nor’* interrogatories were not true, but having tailed to do this, hia subsequent effusions are a mixture of reckless assertion aud personal in vective, which I do not propose to notice, but as. the Treasurer sets btcnsel* up to lie the only officer who confines himself within legal bound*, I do propose to exhibit am* of his inconsisten ciot, and to show that his actions have not been in accordance with bis professions. Aud, as be ha* taken the liberty to deal so unspairingly with what he affect* to consider the motives that have prompted my official action in the premises, be will pardon me if I take a slight retrospect of bis own. He referred to my ap proval of warrants drawn on the Friuting Fund to pay for advertising Executive proclamations, order*, &c. as proof of bis charge that I had approved warrants drawn on “ a fund specially appropriated and restricted to some other por- poee.” The vindication of my course in this matter is before the public, and it is n. t neces sary to repeat it. But what will the public think when I utter the assurance that this immaculate Treasurer paid these warrants without a mur mur down to as recent a period as tbe 8th of December 1868, aud that 1 can prove what I say by hi* own rejiort which I now have before me. On page 17 of this report under tbe head of “Printing Fund of 1868," I observe tbe first warrant No. 304, iu lavor of Dr Samuel Bard, “for advertising Governor’s proclamations to July 24th iS68, $14900.” Then follow* f*rt&amen more warrants for the same specie* of service, and drawn on the sajne fund, running through a period of uearly four months, and for a sum of money amounting in tbe ag gregate, to over sir thouaaml live hot mired dotlara. Where were his scruples then, and with all his boasted knowledge and legal acumen, why had ho not discovered during that period of nearjy four months,/that it was a violation of law to pay such warrants ? Why has he not. explained to the public, while endeavoring to fix the ap proval of such warran's on me as a crime, as a conspiracy to rob the Treasury, how it is that lie waa a participant in the same crime by paying forty never* ot those illegal warrants, ari*(il!itmg to the sum ot til: thousand f re hundred ddUari f Let him also explain bow it happened that be became so suddenly enlightened as to the law, and so scrupulously conscientious as to stop the payment of such warrants just about the time be bad a rupture with the Gov; mo**. Emm, ujajffipuisticated people would regard this a? k singular coinciderieo at least, and sill fair-minded, unprejudiced men wouid like to ~Tiavej^O0tfhed. Can it possibly be, that as MgjPPukeTieaaurer was on friendly terms with tbe Governor, he was willing to unite in the “conspiracy” jnd participate in a violation of the law, but as soon «s a breach occurred be tween them he changed his course, not for the sake of the low, but tor the purpose ot aunoy- mgthr Governor by dishonoring his warrants He was either ignoraui ot the law and his duty as a public officer, as he BOW protess-n to under Biaud them, or he kuowingly aud criminally Violated the law, (for it stood thou precisely as it docs now) and lu either case he should come "’to the coufessional and make an atonement tor his error, before he arraigns another officer be tore the public tor approviug the 47 warrants that he paid. In hia last communication, which appeared in the him of the 27lh instant, he again refers to iny approval of warrants in favor ot additional clerk* in the Executive office, and triumphantly astgg “ W here is hi* authority lor depleting from hftlV, and letting the Governor’* sense of pressure tit hi* rule of action ? ” I do not notice this Ixtint uow with the view of again vindicating my action in the premises—this 1 have already done tu former communications. But 1 do so lor the purpose of agaiu showing up the Trcas- urei's inconsistency by introducing his own official acts. 1 tiud, by reference to the record, that wariaut No. 149, in favor of N, 1* Angier. lor $882 55. drawn ou the 7'h section ot the Ap propriation ai t ol 1868, “tor stationery, printing, .Sc.,” was apjsroved aud entered ou ihe January, 1869. Then again, 1 find that wBRnt No. 107, in lavor ol the same, for stationery, exchange, telegrams, express charges, Ac., and drawn ou the 23d secuon ot the Appropriation act ol 1869, was approved and entered ou the 19th of July, 1869. Where was your authority, Mr. Treasurer, " tor dejmrting from do loir" m iheae tvro castes ” Why was U not as lawful to pay the warrant of Mr. Conley, the Stale I.ibra nan, drawn upon the same 23d section, for j>osi age stamps, dnyst <\ Ac., for the use ol his office, and tor whicu he had advanced the cash out ot his own toads? llis warrant was in ev ery respect sirniiar to your own, yet you reiused to pay it because it was drawn ou the 23d sec- ln a. L* - i it be understood that the 7th section ot tae act of 1868 and 23d section ot the act ot ljei* are the same in substance, trary to law to pay Mr. Conley’s warrant, where is iho authority. Mr. Treasurer, tor paying your owe ? What excuse have you lor breaking ihe lav iu your owu tavor, and recognizing it when the interests ot other* are involved? 1 ought to mention, in passing, that Conley’s wairaut vva.- only Kw $41 3ti, while your* (the Iasi named i was lor $785 -W. a warrant for $.5hi) in favor of hi* son tor making a transfer of cer tain entries in his office, and why did he, at a subsequent period, pav another warrant in tavor of his son for the same service for $:»50, making in all $*50 for thtse transfers, when there is no express law authorizing if* The resolution uaaied refers exclusively to the Comp troller General’s office, yet 1 find on my book the two warrant-* in lay.>r ot tins Treu-Hirer’s son for “extra service transferring Treasurer Rockwell’s books,” Ac. This is uot all. The Treasurer affects great veneration tor “ law,” and the “will of the Legislature,” yet in the teeth of his pretensions, 1 find oomj book war rant No. 28 for $150, in favor of his son approved November 10, 1808, “ for extra ser vices as Treasurer’s clerk.” On page 10, Laws of 1868, section 13 of the Appropriation Act. there is appropriated $500 00 to pay the salary ot the same clerk lor the latter half of 1868. This act became a iaw 10th of October, 1808, aDd here was the expressed will ot the Legoia- ture that the Treasurer’s cleik should have but $500 for halt tbe year, or at tbe rate $1,000 per year. Yet, on tbe 10th ot November thereafter, the Treasurer, with all his veneration for law and the expressed will of the Legislature, paid his son $150 over and above his lawful salary. Again, on the 18th Jauuary, 1809,1 tiud that another warrant for the same amount. No. 132, in tavor of his son, was approved ar i entered, lor similar services in the Treasurer’s office. Now, let it be remembered that about the same time that each of the-.e warrants was.approved, another warrant for $250, drawn on the civil appropriation tor the salary’of this same elerk was approved and paid, so that he drew the $500 appropriated, and $300 besides, lor his services during the latter half ot the year 1888. The Treasurer comments severely upon my assertion that I had no right to supervise the Governor in his application of the Contingent Fund, and attempts to show by quotations from the Code that it is uiy duty to audit all accounts and allow or reject them before they are sub mitted to the Governor, but this does not show that I have the right to demy note Ihe fund out ol which they shall be paid. I have audited and allowed or rejected every account that has ever been presented to me, and if I have Dot done this in case o! all the ac counts that have been paid, it was because tbe holders have not presented them. And here tbe Treasurer ts again unfortunate. He takes me to task for not approving every account or item paid for out of the Contingent Fund by' the Governor, when he himself has neglected, in some instances, to present his account* for approval, »nd Last; ltd his accounts in the Ex ecutive Office indorsed with his mrn approeal alone, presented his warrant at this office, had it approved and pocketed the money. 1 ask ugMD, •why has he thus disregarded the injunctions ol the law which he lias quoted '‘ Why does he not set a better example, and practice what he teaches ? 1 find on file in the Executive Office accounts amounting in the aggregate toovej $700 00, approved by the Treasurer embiaclfc in part, each payments made by hiiu lor sfiith.upr cry, exchange, express charges, telegrams, water cooler, letter heads Ac , aud this is included iu one of the same warrants referred to before drawn oil the 23d Section of tin Appropriation Act of 1869. Now, not one of these accounts has my approval upon it, yet in the eyes of the Treasurer, it is a great dereliction of duly in me not to audit every accuuut tor which a war rant is issued. So it seems when he wants to get money, he does uot wail tor the regular routine which he now insils that the public creditors shall follow, at least, hedid not wait iu the distance referred to. In conclusion, 1 would renmriy. Hint in all 1 havesaid daringngycontroversy wuh U»eTreas urer, 1 have dealt with him in his offieiai eapa city, and it has been uiv purpose to avoid j»-*r- sonaiities. Being attacked, I considered it a solemn duty to delend my official coupe, and the honor aud diguity of the t’oinptrrdWr Gen eral’s office. This was line to the public, loi. whose benefit Ihe office I hold should tie at^niu- istered. Further than this it has not been my intention to go, and wiili this I hid the Treas urer adieu—at least for the present. -Respectfully, Madison Bull, t’ouilittoller Gtuei.il. I A New Form nt MaTerjr. Under the loregoing heading, the Troy {S. Y.) Press contains the following on “ Life Insurance Companies” which we transfer to onr columns, not that we are at all opjiosed to those institu tion®, but tor the humor which pervades the ar- r tide, which even they, will doubtless enjoy.-- j Perhaps, t«>o,»it may produce a salutary effect j upon Compaiufci ot that description, who are | noted for being rather bard upon their patrons upon the return o{ “premium day.” At any rate it will do to read and laugh over. The writer ot the article, we opine, has himself been “hangup” on more than one “ premium day : ” Lit^jnsuraiire is no doubt a great blessing, but at tbe same time it is a great nuisance. It has established a new form ol slavery. It gives man dominion over his lellow, and it is all the more galling id the victim, because be reflects that it is his own fault He has torged his owu tellers. It any ot our readersdoubt the correct ness ot these remarks, let them take out an en dowment polic y, payable quarterly or even au- nually. The inexorable day rolls round. From a tire policy there is an escape—a tire escape. To rent day an ejecime&t suit furnishes a pleas ant procrastination. A mortgage must be lore- ■'osed. When our note fall’s due, as it frequent ly does, we sometimes procure a renewal. No, we beg pardon of the banks—not a renewal, ab horrent term! hut we pay it up, and next day get another discounted tor the same amount. This, however, is on tbe supposition that our c.shier is Dot a life agent. If he is, ami we waul accommodation, lie asks with some severity it our lite is insured, and it we say no, he replies, how can we suppose ihat the bank will accommodate a man who is so improvident? We say something about a new hat or a load ot coal, but he scoffs at the proposal, and we submit to let him take our file. There's no escape from premium-day, no city of retuge. We must “and-,” or lie counted out, and the company takes the pool. Now perhaps these bloated policy men think the public are always going to submit to this sort of thing ; but we can tell them we won’t. An outraged and long-suffering community will arise in its majestic wrath, and sweep them ofl the lace of the earth like a red-hot hall from a Haymaker’s bat. Our courts will no longer be tilled with anti rent controversy alone, aud ring with discussions about “covenants running with the land,” aud "quarter-sales " but a new kind ol litigation will succeed, involving the right ot men to grind their lellow men in this heartless way. Our lawyer says it is against public policy and adverse to republican institutions. In abort, we wonder how the agents who have seduced us wiil feel wb n a unanimous public shout. Repudiate! What will they say when we apprise them that we have paid an eminent lawyer, an ex-Presi dent at that, a large fee to advise us that the liability to pay premiums ceases when the sum paid for premiums amounts fo as much as the lite of the assured is worth in the estimation ot ihe person tor whose bent-til the policy is issued. As tfhis is generally the victim’s wile, ot course thewmouot will be trifling. 'flfecre are several things in Lite Insurance thotzwe object to. Iu the first place, what assu rance has a man that he won’t live to be as old as Oid Parr, or Macklin the actor, or grandaio iher Welles ot the Navy'.' What a joke it would be on a fellow to live as long as Alethu- saleb ! Such things are not impossible,and we, or you, reader, may i»e the luckless individual. Imagine paying say $100 a year trom twentv to one hundred and titty years, and calculate the result ot putting aud keeping that sum at inter est during the same period. It presents a prob lem too enormous tor us to contemplate, and we have engaged Mr. Weils to write a pamphlet on the subject. Besides, what inducement would there be tor ns to keen ■•;-the p-emturns when ‘In. principal wot.io'go to descendants, in whom eqr blood would flow in a state ot homeopathic diiafewnr? -^Pnd another thought comes up that mattes flpr nair creep arid onr veius stand on end. dWippose we should pro’sp the Wandering Jew! A. Rothschild or a BelmoDt hiraseit co,uldn’t weather it. How eagerly we should court death, by joining a base ball club, or taking a trip on the Erie rail road, or proposing marriage*to one of the editors of the Revolution. We object to the Life Insurance literature ot the day, installed into the unwary by false pre tences, under the guise ot a romantic story iu ■The / «/'/er, or by a quatto newspaper called the BUrod Letter, with au elegant wood eugrawigon the outside, representing the table ot the fox and the crane, and wyiiin lull ol dead men’s hones and all assistance There is a mania on this subject—a money- mania.. We« shall expect to timl it corrupting the pulpit in Itie toriu ot an eleventh command ment, inculcating file insurance. We slia'l ex- pect U» road on UMnhstoue&a “He was insured it. the Connecticut Mutual, and ot such is the Kingdom ol Heaven’ in obituaiv uoticis we shall see: “As an insured, onr brother had no equal;’’ Rich men vmiI toond.professorships with a paid up endowment poliev. The Uresi- dent will -sav in his iuaugutal ■ “I have up pol icy, save one in ib<- People’sJiife.” . The vvarst ward in our lunatic asyhiM^will he inscribed : “For the insured.” In short, there is nu»retuga, trom insurance but suicide, and suicide spoils ihe policy. We have always admired Oily Gammon, $h‘> so cleverly del the company with poison and a scented lozenge. He was candid to the last. Prose is inadequate to this topic, and we have “dropped into poetry,” in the style of the !a vorite poets, as follows: From the Macon Telegraph.

V Atlanta: July J4,1SC9. 5 Dear Sir : The State Agricultural Society of Georgia, having been permsv.ertjly reorganized under the auspices aud management of the lead ing Sfate Cou, Georgia, in November, 1869, oemmeuciug on Tuesday, the 16th day of the month. Among the very many advantages resulting from sucti exhibitions are: ’rhe improved quality and increased quantity of all kinds of plantation products anri inanu- ‘actured articles; the spirit of gerjefous emula tion mad progress they excite and enco rage ; the general instiuction they impart, aud th in formation thereftjf disseminated, on all subjects ot vital importance to material development, by affording opportunities for a persona] inter change of views in regard thereto by well in formed citizens ; iu stimulating to a wonderful degree the inveutor’s intellect; and, bringing together the citizens of various parts 'Of tug. State and of the Union, producing a kindlief feeling lor and a higher appreciation ot each other-»*a greater harmony and consequently a vastlgreater efficiency of thought and action. U iS^tiie ambition ,ot the officers/ol the Society to make this Fair one of unusual inter est, U>th as regards the number of persous present trom ali sections, and the extent and variety of stock, products and manuftPctured articles on exhibition, especially as it is conli dently believed that many persons from the Northern States will at the time lie.traveling through the South to inform themselves -Tin all these maUtrs.- The enterprise, energy .and progressive pub lic spirit of Georgia has gained for herrthe lore- most place among the States ot this section, *and the proud distinction ot “The Empire Slate ol the South.” The pre-emineuce tuns volunta rily accorded her must be made good on all suit able occasions—for skilled aud ambitious cou- testants have entered the field to try and wrest it trom her. fo-seeure the laudable objects proposed by The R Is in spirit, Mr. Blow, the new Minister to Brazil, seized the occasion afforded hy the larewell festival of his St. Louis Iriqndsrto inculcate a lesson which other States tluui Missouri may profitably learn. He urges as the. condition ot “ solid and endur ing reconstruction,” the cultivation of good feeling between the sections, aud the speediest possible obliteration-of feelings and disabilities arising out of the war: “ Let, me open my heart to you plainly, tor I have never had but one view in regard" to the settbufient ot onr difficulties. I bail a perfect toirh in the high character, the honor, and the nihility of our people. 1 had au undying faith in the strength of our republican institutions, and hence I decided that, pistice and safety once secured, it was our dear diVv to forget the past, and five only.'for the future. Let the world speculate a* ii .’will, ail honest minds will agree that brave men are to t>e trusted. Let the ene mies of democratic institutions hope for new discords, but for us we w ill boldly' proclaim that tbe men North or South, East or West, in whose veins courses thq pure blood of our Revolution ary-fathers, are our brothers. What we want is a re union founded on the love ot the people tor each other, and on a genuine attachment to tree institutions; and such a result must flow trom impartial justice. Let us reach that point, and on the momeut the voice of the century will proclaim up the first nation iu the world. Such, my friends, is the picture I have drawn from a Knowledge of what yen have done for your country. Let .Missouri gladly welcome all who honor these divine teachings. This will torm a perfect re-union. This is solid and en during reconstruction.” Our Weekly Local Department.

University High fckntooi. at Athens.— The Kt. Rev*. Juo. W. lieck with, Bishop ot the Diocese ot Georgia, will present the prizes to the sncecsstul coiiijH-titors in dt clamatioh at the aunual exhibition ot the Institution, which will take place ou/Thursday evening, the 29th of July. We are informed that the commencement at the State University, which begins ou next Sunday, promises to be unusually attractive, and largely attended. Promenade,—We were pleased to see that the Promenade Tuesday night, under the man agement ot the ladies of the Memorial A.-so ciation, was a success. At the si me time, we regretted that the attendance of ladies aud gen tlemen was not larger. The cause should, of itself, have been sufficient to draw a very large number, and when wc take iuto consideration the number of beautiful young ladies that were present at the Hall (and elderly ones, loo,) the pleasure of promenading with them, the excel lent music discourse.! by lhe band, and the deli cious iced beverages dispensed by ladies, in whom we. all fee! a pride, we w ere rather disap pointed at the attendance. The evening passed off very delightfully to all. We hope to attend more oi these promen ades. The Allegany Skiunu Water.—After careful examination ot the analysis ot this pop ular water, and trom the many letters and cer tificates lauding ^ts merits, we are irresistibly drawn to the conclusion that the waters are of great medicinal virtue. The analysis shows a most remarkable combination of medical agents Its medical virtues have long been known to the inhabitants of that romantic section of Vir ginia, but not until a complete analysis ot its Waters were made a tew yc^# ago has it been known as a popular watering place. Situated on the Roanoak river, at the eastern foot of the Allegany mountains, it at once commands the attention ot the Southerner seeking a healthful climate, with all the advantages ot a popular watering place. To all suc.li we would recom mend a visit to the Allegany Springs. To tl|osi-‘ "l' 1 Aanriot avail themselves of such pjeaaurc, we would reter to the advertisement of this Spring in our columns, where they will find that the water is kept tor sale at the “ Live riKhmeo Court Honora ble John En iunr^^Tk iding - 'Tuesday was the regular wet-CTy meeting of the Uuited States District Court tor tin- transact ion of busiro:;; in Bankruptcy A case in Involuntary Bankruptcy ti-;.l been set down lor a hearing, ou the petition of credi tors of Zimmerman & Yerdery.

Quite a number of Methodist ministers, and their families went down the Georgia Road'on yesterday, intending to go acros3 to Lawrence- ville to a District Meeting. For one or two Jays the situation of Mr. Chisolm has been regarded as extremely crit ical. He was better at 8 o’clock last night. Wf take great pleasure in calling attention to the card ot Mrs. Tignor’a school, to be found iu to-day’s paper. This lady is too well and favorably known to require commendation from us. ^0 Anglo Saxons.—Quite a number were pres ent at the Hall of tbe above Club on Thursday night, it being the second prize beit exhibition ot the Club. It was a difficult matter to award prizes where all did so well. For the best performance on the horizontal bar, the belt was awarded to W. C. Sparks; on the parallel bar, to J. C. Himnicnt; acrobatic, to R. E. Rnshton, and for strength to E. Ken drick. Alter the exercises were over, dancing was inaugurated. The “ light fantastic” was tripped tor an hour or two as Atlanta girls and boys know how to. Wk 1.kahn that a petition is before His Honor the Mayor, and the city council, asking for a Continuation of Elliott street, running through Mitchell street into 'Nelson. We learn that, a good deal of valuable proper ty, and a number of excellent citizens are shut iu in thal portion ol the city. The changes that have been made in Atlanta, and, various improvements cause some of it* streets to be very inconvenient, and not having streets iu some parts of the city is quite •t emu:,; of trouble. We arc satisfied the Mayor am I Council have the best interest of the city and its citizens at heart and will act judiciously in this mailer. It is gratifying to witnesa^lie unrest man 1 tested in the cause of e«ftrj|mon in Georgia during the past twelve & eighteen months. < »nr exchanges are tilled tro accounts of exam inations, commencements, and college exercises. Never perhaps, at any period, has it been as necessary for onr people to he educated as at present. Great care should Ire paid to mental culture that sound morals, benevolent dc^es, and noble 'pirations may purify and(jKhilt Southern intellect. More than ever does Geor gia experience the need of men of education, tor from them it must form her most important opinions, and to them we look to |Rve fame aocl character to our 8tate, and by ihese men tbe future derliuy of Georgia must be swayed. Devth of. Mrs. Col. Cole,—We regret to learn that a dispatch was received in this city yesterday from Nashville, stating that Mrs. E. W. Cole, wile of Col.

Mxrrigr of an Actress.—We are pleased to state that oar distingnished fellow townswo man, and popular actre-s, Miss Charlotte Thomp son, was married to Major Loramia Rogers, di rector of the N>-w California Theater, in San Francisco, on the 11th inst., by Rev. Bishop Kip. Miss Thompson bad just concluded the most successful engagement ever played in Cal ifornia, and now retires from the stage. We wish Sirs.
