“ERROR CEASES TO BE DANGEROUS WHEN REASON IS L^PT FREE TO COMBAT IT."—Jefferson.
VOLUME XXI
ATLANTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24,1869.
NUMBER 48.
uenerul Wade Hmmios’s Addre*..
We are indebted to oar courteous and enter*
pricing young triend, Mr. B. W. Wbb'ch, the
very efficient General Ticket Agent of the State
Road, tor a Map ot the Road—the Western &
Atlantic—and its connection*. It is, in tact, a
railroad m.p lor the United States, elegantly
gotten up, and of inva’nable service to railroad
officials, forward ng, and commission, and busi-
uess booses. Having it before os now, we
wonder bow we could have done without it so
long, and so will all who will lake the trouble to
examine tbe one that hangs in our office. Per
sons setting out for an extended pleasure cr
business trip would do'well to consult this map
Letore making a start. It will save them both
time and moucy.
Farmer* aaS Broker*.
Tbe Internnal Revenue bureau is quite l&ti—
tudin irian in its construction oi the revenue
laws. The other day it decided that potatoes
were grain, and in a Bumber ot other caaes it
baa defined words in a manner that puts to
shame Webster, inasmuch a* tbe letter tails far
short of tbe Bureau in his definitions, ol convey
ing to the student the meaning of even the
simplest words Perchance the bureau may be
right, and we will not quarrel witn it. One of
its most recent decisions, however, is worthy ot
note, especially concerning as it does a class oi
citizens who pay very little attention to the
technicalities of the revenue laws, and are there
fore apt to get into difficulties with the bureau
where they least expect it—we mean the term
ers. The bureau now decides that farmers who
go to market and sell their produce are brokers,
and must pay a special tax. Fanners are exempt
lrom special tax when selling their produce at the
place oi production, or in the manner ot pedlers.
By sdiing at tbe market place, even thougn a
different stand or station is taken every time, is
not selling in the manner of a pedler. The
farmer who is in the habit of going to the mar
ket place, and makes it bis business to sell,
should be required to pay a special tax accord
ingly.
Farmers will take notice ot this decision
and govern themselves accordingly.
An Ksamplc to tbe Vonag,
Ttie Macon Telegraph A Messenger of yester-
terday says: “We learn lrom a lriend that Mr.
J. T. Dennis, a very young farmer of Putnam
county, has picked and packed 25 bales of cot
ton lrom 25 acres of land—each bale weighing
500 pounds. One acre of Ibis crop yielded
8500 pounds oi seed cotton. This, besides $3
bushels ol wheat to the acre, and premiums fdr
“best and largest variety of grapes under suc
cessful cultivation” and best wine from said
grapes, and abundance of earn, speaks well for
Putnam county.”
Death or Gov. Pkatt.— Ex Gov. Thomas
G. Pratt, formerly United States Senator from
Maryland during a period of eight years, died at
his residence in Baltimore last Tuesday, alter a
severe illness and much suffering, lrom disease
of the heart. Gov. Pratt was in the sixty-ninth
yesrof his age.
Neoro Accidentally Shot.—Mr. A. J. Me-
Alster, ot Atlanta, was arrested and brought
before Justice Schofield yesterday, cn a charge
ot assault with intent to murder one Isaac
Brown, a colored man, near the Fair Grounds,
on Sunday lust, lie had shot Isaac in the hip,
inflicting a severe but not necessarily fatal wound.
He waived examination, and gave bond for hts
appearance at the next term ot tbe Superior
Court. Sheri It Marlin made the affidavit- on
which the warrant was issued for McAlister's
arrest, and Judge O. A. Loch nine Was retained
as counsel for the defense. We have been io-
foroieu that the shooting was accidental, and
that no one appears to regret the shooting mere
Ulan Mr. McAlister, aud he manifests his regret
by paying Isaac’s doctor bilk* and furnishing
money lor oilier attention which be requires.—

No H.iaumpllun-tireeubteki; Still to be

The story published in one ol the .New York
papers that quite a commotion has been created
over a plan in contemplation by Secretary
Boutwcll to resume specie ji .yuients on January
l«t is a pure invention. The al«urdity of the
dispatch is apparent on the lace of it. The dis
patch mentious that ‘‘the precise mode which be
wui adopt t«> term* about tuat result is not clear.”
This is emphatically tiue, aud tue effort to plan
some process whereby such a result might be
reached makes up a decidedly foggy case ot
financial reasoning. Secretary Boutweli said
this evening that oUch a step was not only im-
pracuciihle but impossible; that be never talked
on tbe reanmp'tou of specie payment to any
one. He hao cu.mgh to occupy bis aiteiiiiou
to see foal the re ve.iue i>» collected, that the in
terest on the debi is pioa<pdy and regularly
paid, and that tue finances oi the government
are kept in a healthy condition. The invention
in question he characterized ns loolisli, absurd
and sensations ly tuanuiacluicd out ot wtfole
cloth. He tuilher said that it would require
some legislation on the part ol Congress to ex
tend bis power to withdraw bonds over a cer
tain amount, and eveu it it were possible to
come buck to specie payment it «-ould not be
done in the tune saved. Suit will further be
seen that the statement is false. At lo the an
ticipated. decision <>i the Supreme Court that
the lega* teuos: act ie unconstitutional, it would
be difficult to say u;h.u what mounds any such
a state tiient can be founded in advance ot any
action of foe ocunt in the mailer. The who)*
subject was so utterly without foundation that
the Secrviaiy countered it not w orth talking

The arrival ot this gentleman at Macon to
aueud the Sta<c Fair, is thus appiopriately no
ticed by the Telegraph and Messenger ot that
city :
“We notice tbe arrival yesterday in our city ol
this distiuguijbed citirn and soldier, who will
deliver the annual address before the Georgia
State Agricultural Society.
“ No man iu all this broad iaud more de-
seives the moat generous hospitalities and
courtesies of this community.
“As a citiz« n without reproach, and as a soldier
whose honor is ss stainless as his lineage, we
greet him m the name of the people-et Georgia
It is most dt that he, so true a representative ot
the highest type of Soutltern manhood, should
lend the dignity aud influence ot his presence to
an occasion fffat is, we trust, to mark a new
departure toward that genuine peace and unity
so ««6entia] to the foil development ot the great
ness and gfory ot our c >mru* n country."

An editorial in the Constitution of this morn
ing makes loud threats of what it will do in
case the candidates for Mayor do not compro
mise tfceir difficulties. What course that paper
will deem proper to pursue is purely conjectu
ral, but it presumes to control tbe important
business affairs of this city by means of tbe par
ty lash, it will find that it over-estimates its in
fluence. We need no politics in the government
—indeed, there can be no politics in it. It is
as muck a matter of business as tbe transactions
of any commercial firm in the city. How ridic
ulous, then, for outside pressure from Rome and
Griffin and other points to attempt to control
our local afiairs, which belong exclusively to
ourselves!
If the Democracy can do do belter for tbe
city of Atlanta tli >n to furnish it with a weak
or fast Mayor, and a weak Council, and Y. A.
Gaskill for Treasurer, then it is high time for
its good citizens to look to tbeir interests and
take charge oi their own affairs.

Tbe Northern Exiur»lonl.l*.
The Macon leltgraph and Messenger, of yes
terday, contains the following:
“ As the special train conveying the Northern
excursionists, guests of tLe State Agricultural
Fair, approached Macon, yesterday afternoon,
a meeting was held, at which the following pro
ceedings took place:
“On motion of Col. John W. Forney, ot
Pennsylvania, Hou. George W. Woodward,
Representative in Congress, from tue Luzerne
D-strict, and late Chioi Justice of Pennsylvania,
was called to theCJtair; on taking which he
said:
“ Gentlemen : Thus lar we have come safely
with every prospect ol reaching our destination.
We have traveled with great comfort to our
selves, and have received every attention from
our Georgia lriem'.s For myself, I feel under
great obligations to Governor Bullock, General
Hulbert, Mr. True, and the gentlemen com
posing the committee, who have provided for
our journey. It is the first time I have bad the
pleasure ol visiting this part of the country,
and it seems proper, before we reach Macon, that
we should give some united expression of our
gratitude to the gentlemen who have thus an
ticipated our wants.
“ The following committee was thereupon ap
pointed by the Chair, to carry out the object of
the meeting: Hon. Sim m Cameron, Senator in
Congress from Pennsylvania; Hon. C. Delano,
Commissioner of Iulernal Revenue; Hon. Hor
ace Capion, Commissioner ot Agriculture; Pro
fessor Joseph Henry, of the Smithsonian Insti
tute ; Dr. J. P. Trimble, of New Jersey ; A. E.
Knapp, President State Agricultural Society of
Penneylvauia; Solon Robinson, of tbe New
York Tribune, and Colonel J. W. Forney.
In reporting the resolutions, Hon. Simon
Cameron said: “Gentlemen, I take great pleas
ure in expressing my gratitude, not only tor the
kindness we have received during this long
journey, but for the extraordinary case and ra
pidity of the journey. We have traveled nearly
a thousand miles as comfortably as if we had
occupied our own chambers, and every officer,
from the highest to the low csis, -long the whole
route, bas treated us not only with respect, but
with kindness. I leei sure that every member
ot our party agrees with me upon this subject,
and it would therefore be lolly to speak at
length. We are anticipating a great deal ot
pleasure lrom our Southern trip, and I feel cer
tain we are all animated by those kindly feel
ings which should char&cteiize brothers meet
ing brothers. I intend to see a good deal of
this Southern country before I go home. I do
not know that I would change my home for
auy other spot iu the world, hut it I desired to
seek another, I think it would be in tbe South,
for I am sure that a iew years will make it the
choice section of our country.
Senator Cameron then offered the following
resolutions, which were read and unanimously
adopted, and the Macon papers respectfully
asked to publish them:
Resolved, That we return our sincere and
grateiul acknowledgements to his Excellency,
R. B. Bullock, Governor of Georgia, Col. E.
Hulbert, Superintendent of the W. & A. Rail
road, and to W. K. deGraflenrdd, Cspt. A. O.

their generous foresight during our trip from
Washington to Macon, and that we shall never
forget the cordiality of their welcome to Georgia
and their unwearied efforts to promole our
comfort. .
Resolved, That we are greatly indebted to
tbe President and officers of tne Orange and
Alexandria and Virginia and Tennessee roads
tor their hearty co-operation with Gov. Bul

! The Buraias or the Cnhan- Sugar Crop.
I The burning ot the sugar crop in Cuba, as
j proposed by Cespedes. to prevent the Span-
j tards from using it, will cost tlie United States,
j acco'diog to Caban estimates, from $50,000,000
j to $60,000,000 in custom and revenue income
trout commercial transactions.
Perhaps but few men of his day and time, )iv
ing to tbe age he did, labored a* intensely, with
unclouded mental faculties, as did the late R'foL
J. Walker. In fact, it is said that his death was
owing to severe mental exertion. Un almost
to the very hour ot bis demise he was engaged
upon a pain pi et, showing by the closest statisti
cal calculation that New York mast, before long,
become so much superior to London as to com
mand the commerce of the whole world; when
a bill of exchange drawn on New York wil be
worth more than any other in the world. Cal
culating the actual distances, he shows mat New
York is really nearer the centre ot communica
tion with tbe commercial world than London,
which is eleven degrees north ol the centre ol
production, and the natuial pathway ot tbe
world’s commerce. Several improvements be
also suggests in the harbor ot New York. This
was tbe last work of Gov. Walker’s active mind,
and is addressed to S. B. Driggs, ot New Bruns
wick, N. •/, who hnd been Hss.-et«titl with him
on these subjects tor tbe past two jours.
Now when to these labor-., we add his attend
ance upon tbe Supreme Court or the United
States, engaged on one side or ihe other, in most
of tue important cases before that judicial tri
bunal; his labors before the Court of Claims;
his labors in the several Executive Departments
ot the Government at Washington representing
the interests ot his varied clients; is it not
wonderful to see him engaged upon a work like
tbe one relerred to above, involving as it must
have done extraordinary mental labor, and
lrom which younger men would naturally
shrink simp.y because ot the iabor it would im
pose upon them ? It appears, too, that this
labor was sell-imposed -that is, there was no
tee in it; no promise of pecuniary reward,
when the task was done Impressed with the
growing importance ot New York, and seeing
farther into the future than most urea ot his
day, for the benefit of the generation that would
soon follow his, he would prepare them tor
what he conceived to i e a great commercial
change soon to take place, to-wit: New York in
stead of London, commanding the com tu rce of
the whole world. From the giant strides which
the former has taken in the last ten years, we
have failh in this prediction of Mr. Walker.
She now commands the commerce of the Uni
ted States, and is imperial in her sway. That
she will outstrip London we believe is ouly a
question of time.
[OOHUTJSICiT I>D ]
Daily Intelligencer: Iu your issue of the
17th instant, there appeared a communication,
signed “ Democrat, ” containing an uncalled for
fling at V A. Gr.skil! and ihe Democratic nom
inees for Mayor and Aldermen of Atlanta.'
The idea that “ we need no poll ics iu the
Government is absurd. To officer Atlanta is
just “as much a matter ol business as" to make
a President or s Governor: The very men cry
ing out lustily “ no police's," in all probability,
have been strong party men, and might be so
now, if they could win by it. There is no other
way in this patriotic age,to keep: down an un
due number of candidates, all. worrying tbeir
friends for votes, except by party : nominations
dhow me & Mayor and Aldermen elected, in
any large -city iu tbe Union.jvjieie .the word
was “ no politics. ”
No*, as to the men attacked, who are they ?
First, though not named, we take Dr. Alexan
der, as he is tbe only one claiming the Demo
cratic nomination for Mayor. Is he a “ weak or
fast man?” He bas grown up with the city.
He has been here nearly a quarter of it century.
He understands Atlanta and her-wauls us well
as any man, and is as zealous fdr her welfare.
He stands in the front rank of bis profession.
His practice is lucrative, and among our best
citizens. His friends ere numerous and ardent
and from all classes, add are not inferior fii point
ol respectability to tbe IriVnds of any candi
date. ’ . -
It is a s)under to call such a man “ weak ” Ii
to have warm, rflfmerous and devoted triends, is
to be “ weak,” then he is “ weak ”.indeed. If he
is “ weak,” who is strong ?
Now comes that old, Puritanical, New Eng
land cant, “last.” There have always been
men, and probably always will be, who, with
long faces aud pious claims, seek for iavor, when
they really never had religion enough' for it to
be generally discovered. That sort, iliank God,
have nearly played out in this country.
But, in another sense otthc word, we need a
live, “fast", man for Mayor, and such is Dr Al
exander. He is up to the time* and will make
the heart of our young city-throb with the ener
gies of bis own healthy pulsations.
“A weak Council" says “Democrat.” True,
they came from the Democratic family aud are
as good as Atlant a gener al ly averages. Sevep out
ot the ten, have been Aldermen before.
At this moment they are, every one of them,
successful business men. and thriving. Know
ing how to take care ot them selves, and doinglt,
they will not let the city suffer on tbeir account.
Why fling atV. A. G.tskiU lor Treasurer?”
Suppose be wants totia Treasurer; any harm
in that? Is he not air old citizen ? Are not bis
interests ail hanging upon the success oi Atlanta ?
Is uot his tax list large enough to assure the ‘good
citizens” that he is responsible for his contracts?
We venture, that V A. Gaskill attends to Me
“own afiairs” as well, gives as much for the
general welfare, and has done as much for the
prosperity ot Atlanta as “Democrat," and that the
lunds of tbe city would be as safe in his hands
as iu the bands of “Democrat.”
“Democrat,” it you be a “Democrat,”-quUyoiir
foolishness, and stop abusing your Deta <cratic
brethren. Come home to the fold, and foiaake
your strange gods. Let us have peace in tbe
Democratic family, and stand up for its nomi
nees. Ali cannot have their first choice.
The Democracy ot Atlanta have a good tick
et, let every Democrat go for it.

A Card.
Atlanta, November 18ih, 1889.
Fellow-CUuens : Befog a candidate for your suf
frages in tbe ensuing election for the Mayoralty,
after having submitted my name ton general con
vention, I deem it necessary to explain tbe reason
why I withdrew from said convention. I first
would premise that 1 very reluctantly entered into
the agreement; the method proposed beine not in
accordance with the usages ot the party, or to
tbe dictates of common reason. That it is an-
t agonistic to the usages of the party, (it uniformly
having held primary meetings) none will deny;
and that it is utterly inconvenient and unfair to
many members ot the party, is alike manifest.
But, contrary to my judgment aud the Ad vice ol
many personal Democratic friends, 1 did sign
the agreement, and with the best of motives for
harmony of the party.
Now, feCow-citiaeoa, I will give the reasons
tor withdrawal. In accordance with the agree
ment the polls were opened on tbe morning of
the 3d instant, at 10 o’clock, Judge Ezzard and
myself being present. A few minutes there
after two colored voters with tickets for Judge
Hazard, presented themselves. Judge Ezzard
called my attention to the tact, and asked what
should be done, whereupon I remarked I did
not know; he then stated he would conaolt Use
, aua
raft
f1*
Ot- tbe
■Bdyintm-
km
I ■■ ■ |JV*W| mv*
the votes should be received, aud one ot them
voted for Judge Ezzard, the other declined to
vote, at that time. Dr. Alexander had uot yet
arrived, but came up in a few minutes, the bal
loting continuing, and other colored persoup
voting for the several candidates.. At this junc
ture, I was called oil professionally, being ab
sent tTU 11 j o’clock. Returning, I loaj»d several
colored voters at the ballot box. some ot
whom had Roach tickets iu tbeir hands.
It was at this time Dr. Alexander, protested
against iheieoeption ot colored votei I signi
fied my willingness, as likewise Judge Ezzard,
to submit the question to the managers, who ut
ilised to decide. Dr. Alexander stating that if
they were received he would withdraw from the
convention. I then took the position that ail
voters, whether white or colored, who declared
themselves Democrats, and expressed a willing,
ness to abide the nomiuauon. aa, ibese^iiJ, were
entitled to vote. ” ,
The position "was assumed fmm|a knowledge
of their legal right,-and I knew do authority to
deter them from the. privilege of voting in 'a
nominating con veutiou; moreover, the prece
dent bad bec-p established before, aad.recently
in the ward nominations, no oue having pro
tested. At this rime Dr. Alexander ^charged
inyself anti lriend* with coilnsh u in
tbe attendance ot colored voters tor t. *
ot nominating, which'I promptly c
still do deny, lor it is not true,
say that this circumstance affords an audnkraal
reas n why snch nominations should b? avoided,
no one befog authorized to adjust any.difference
that may arise. Seeing that no nomination
coutd be made in accordance with the agree
ment, and ss Dr. Alexander bsd indicated hts
wiindrawai, I announced my withdrawal. Sub
sequently, Dr. Alexander proposed fo. Judge
Bzzurd to continue the balloting in mV'absence,
which Judge Ezzard promptly declines, as-being
unfair, and now in accordance with onder-
sundiug; and then announced bis withdrawal.
After this, Dr-Alexander continued, fo. jqceive
ballots tor himself uutil the txpimt'fin of the
time agreed upon. -
After this time, a proposition was made-by
the friends ot Judge Ezzard aud myself, by mur
tual understanding, to Dr. Alex&od^. to sub
mit oar names to a delegated nomination, the
wards assembling in their primarycSfpaeity in
accordance with the.usages of tbe {forty aud the
suggestions of the Constitution, which proposi
tion he asked till Thursday.eveuing^o nonsider.
No answer was received. Upon Rte"'following
morning I further announced mysfelf a candi
date for- the Mayoralty, touch are the facte;
and I have been thus par ticular ia ifogtenunrer-
ation, not designiug to inisrepresufoLyr impugn
the motives of any one. I
With this explanation, 1 will ctoArWffiy abide
the decision of t he people, at the baY >t box.

tton and concentration ot the nruat powars
which rule and direct all governmtnis.
We believe that tue following propositions
will be found to be just and trad, to-wi t:
First. No nation or community was ever
powerful amongst men and nations which did
uot use the mechanical powers for manufactur
ing purposes.
Secondly. A nation or people is powerful ill
proportion-to its- products in manufactures.
Thirdly. FoliticaUy w sdCUlly and financially,

Fourthly., Agriculture, manufacturing, and
cOmtnerefe aze-the great element of peace. The
two test .are -intimately associated. Closely
ah ed to ih.sesundi. also.; mining. The first is
diffuse, and never is concentrated. The others
always combine and readily Coalesce. Hence
they control tlie government They bring”to
their aid tlie machinery ot banking and the in
fluence ot currency. A fourth interest has lately
grown up—a power equal, if not sijjetior. to
any. This is the t ailroad interest. It cumbnfo
and conceufrates in a day. It is eminently sym
pathetic This power, with its associates, the
lelegm h and express, will lead off and control

agricuUure.he is limited to a lew lincdred thp,u-

fo the inverse ratio, as three is to one.

Sirs, addressing, as I do, a body ol intelligence
rarely convened^ if would be an abase ot your
patience here to amplify. Then let me procccu
to call yoar attention to a lew facts, and then to
cruwo then with one suggestion.. Tbe facts
arc these:
The coUoa crop of Georgia is stated to be
580,000 bates, averaging 500 pounds each. Tbe
value ot this per hundred pounds, in paper cur
rency of the United states, anar paying freights
and charges to Liverpool from New York, if
sold in Liverpool, is‘.$38 84j. Fur .this, the
New York shipper pays in New York $2600,
tops leaving tor bun a balance oi $2 84j for hts
profila. A bale of 500 pounds, therefore, affords
liima on,fit of 1422). Tbe crop from Georgia
of 500,090 bales, when thus sold, wifi therefore
afford to the New York shippers, aa aggregate
profit of $7,200,000.

The” raw cotton, when manufactured into

000 This, then, stand* asrainst the sum ot $50-,
000,000, the value o* 500,000 bales sold in the
raw state.
There ‘ is, therefore, a balance in favor
of the country of $87,500,000, produced by
converting the raw cotton iuto a msrmtactured
article; Add to this tlie sum df $145,000 paid
on the waste when shipped and saved by irianu-

waste saved and used at home, L>y eriimaie
$100,000, and you have the sum ot $87,745,000
made and saved to the country by luanutactu-
ring the raw material: Hence it is perceived
lhat you return to the producers the value of
their raw material, as in case of sale and ship
ment, and nearly doul le that sum to them and
their country, in proceeds of sale ol manufactured
goods. This comes to them, or to the totate in

above what is now received, and that is an an
nual result.
Great and interesting as tins may socm to the
planters, the results to the country, financially,
politically and socially, are grand beyond any
ordinary conception. Such an annual increase
of labor products, say $87,00(1.000, through ihe

ot spectators, ip VVesimiuster Anbey.

Wit h people wiio had oeeti admitted by tickets,
and all dressed in mourning. The chair waa
hung with ulack, and the sumbre aspect of the
interior was on fy ‘relieved by richly decorated
robes of‘Lord Mayor and Sheriffs.
Sranding near ihe sacrarium, as the body was
brought in, were Mr. Gladstone, Lord Claren
don, ihe Dean of St. Paul’s, the Rev. Thomas
Perrev, a dissenting minister, Mr. George Ed
ward Day, and Mr. John Bright. A flood of
sunshine poured through, the windows, and the
choir was in motion as the procession entered
the building.
The cofliu which was placed on the bier at
the end ol tlie chair was plain and unorna-
menter!, and covered with black cloth, and the
lid was brass. A brass plate with an inscrip
tion giving simply the name of the deceased
and place ami date ot his birth aud death.
The lessoh was read by the Archdeacon of
Westminster. Boon as the ceremony within the
church was ovi-r, the procession formed again
aud advanced to the spot near the western en
trance, where a temporary grave had been pre-
oared, and aii excavation two to three feet deep
had been made, the sides of which giave were
lined with crape. Here ihe body was deposited,
and will remain, until it is transported to
America.
Lord James Thyme read the remainder of
the burial service at the head of the grave. On

it has been got out and dressed up, and is of re
markable beauty and even finish. He has the
grouiids and suitable water power for one of
the finest marble yards in the State, on an ex
tensive plan. We learn,that his sample is ex
citing considerable admiration amongst marble
dealers, and that he contemplates working tbe
quarry at once, in connection with a gentleman

'The Rome Daily announces the work ol laying

push the work right through. The iron is also
being laid on this end, we learn, below town.
There are raifioad schemes oafoot in this sec
tion that will make Atlanta feel like there was
a bug in her ear, when the. facts are developed.”
Our “North Georgia" friend and “Citizen”
seems to take pleasure in taunting Atlanta, at
least he has done so i» the foregoing. We beg
leave to asstife fiilfl, howeveiyttiaf when all tbe
railroad schemes on foot in his section are put
into active operation, they will prove no more
fortnidable in arresting the prosperity of Atlanta
than would a “bug in her ear,” a thing a thim
ble full of oil would force out, and a pressure bo
light as scarcely to be felt by an infant in Its
nurse’s arms would destroy. Atlanta, too, has
schemes which in good time she will execute,
aud maintain her supremacy as the “Gate City,”
and gr^ai railroad centre, of ihe South.
