ATLANTA, GEORGIA,
Wednesday, Apr! 20, 1870,
Dreadful end op a Desperado.—A lew
years ago Mr. Myers, an old Ban Francisco
jeweler, upon going to his store one afternoon,
found his son, the only attendant, beaten nearly
to death, and near $20,000 worth ol jewelry
stolen. Be&rch was made for the villain and he
was finally caught at Fort Prescott, Arizona.
His name was John Kelly, and was a deserter
from the United States Army. After many ad
ventures iu California and Mexico, committing
many murders and robberies which are horrible
in the extreme, and acquired the name ol the
“California Ruffian,” he was afterwards arrested
by some oi the inhabitants ol that city, who
wreaked their vengeance on him. They carried
him some distance from the city, where
they tied one end of a rope to the limb of a tree,
and the man to the other end, fastened him by the
heels so that his head hung within a tew feet ol
the ground. They then built a slow fire under
him, and allowed him to remain suspended thus
until death pat an end to his existence.
Cable Lightning Rod Company —We had
a call yesterday from Mr. John Morgan and T.
W. Christian, agents for the above named com
pany, having with them specimens ol the Ca
ble Lightning Rod. This company was estab
lished in 1855. The Rod which they exhibited
to us, appears to be superior to anythiug of the
kind we have ever seen. It is said to possess
the following advantages: It has no joints or
couplings; it will not corrode; it is strong and
durable; it has an unequaled conducting sur
face ; it has the approval of the highest scien
tific authorities; it h is been tested lor over fif
teen years; it Dever fails. They have numerous
testimonials to prove these tacts. Within ihe
last forty days inis cable rod has been erected
over a number of the largest and most valuable
buildings in Augusta, Charleston, and other
towus and cities in South Carolina, and Brown’s
Hotel, and the Catholic Church in Macon,
Georgia. This rod is composed of eight wires,
lour of iron, and four ot copper, and is put to
gelher upon the plan of the Atlantic Telegralnc
Crble. It is of perfectly continuous metal, and
can be cut into auy desired lengtns, arid put up
without joints, rivets or couplings, thus avoid
ing the danger arising from detective joints and
couplings. Every rod is of one piece lrom the
point at ove, to its termination in the earth be- i
low. Many other (acts might be stated in sup
port of the superiority of this rod, but will not
now enlarge. Lightning rods are a useful in
stitution, and have done much in the way ot
protecting life and property. Every improve
ment which is calculated to increase then safety
and utility, 1b worthy ot public encouragement.
Death of Robs, the Cherokee Chief —
From the Fort Smith Herald, of March 18th,
we learn that Mr. Lewis Ross, a prominent
Cherokee, died at. his residence in the Chero
kee nation, aged about 73 years. The name of
Ross, is deeply identified with the history of the
Cherokee Indians in Georgia. He wa3 a broth
er ot the notorious Chief, John Ross, a man of
kind hosrt and generous impulses. He was
well known to many of our old citizens, who
had visited his house and partaken oi his hos
pitality. To the Indian at all times, his house
was his home, and no man among that tribe
was more boloyed and respected than Lewis
Ross. At one lime he was very wealthy, being
a merchant, he turned his whole attention to
trade, and had but little to do with politics, and
the Indians traveled far and near to trade with
him. By that trade, he acquired a very large
fortune. A missionary of that nation, states
that he died in the faith of a Christian. Thus
has passed away the last male member of the
elder Ross family. John Ross, the head chief
of the Cherokee nation, was always a man ot
liberal and conservative views. He lavored
the treaty which resulted in the removal of his
tribe to the far West. For this, the faction op
posed to immigration, sought his life, and he
fell a victim to their merciless revenge.
Cruelty to Animals.—If there is any vice
which is more abhorent to a man of nice ieel-
iDgs than another, It is cruelty to animals ot the
brute creation. No excuse or apology can be
oflered lor litis abominable practice. It grows
out ot a hard, abandoned, malignant heart, and
should be placed under the baseot public indig
nation; This vice may be practiced in various
ways—by severe beating, over working, and
starving. It is sickening to look at some ot the
horses aud mules we see driven in our streets.—
They are literally nothing but a mass of skin
and bores, and someol them have beeu whipped
until the hair, and even the skin, on some parts
of their hodies. are beaten oft. Cattle are al=o
sftuered to starve lo death, for want of food and
shelter in the winter, aud by severe beating.—
Such persons ought to be punished, aud their
stock confiscated.
Strange Freaks of Lightning.—In the
thunder storin of last Saturday, a very vivid
flash of lightuiug was observed about dood at
the residence of Mrs. Rakestraw, near Siarrs-
ville in NewlOD county, says the Covington En
terprise, which was found afterwards to have
struck in the horse lot, about 150 yards nom
the bouse, killing two mules and destroying two
trees. The most remarkable leature in the phe
nomenon, was that there were lour mules in
the lot, two in one stable, and two in another,
situated some 30 yards apart, aud the tame
stroke of lightning killed one mule in each sta
ble, leaviug the others unhurt, and tore to
pieces the two trees, one a persimmon, and the
other an oak, about the same distance apart as
the stables.
General R. E. Lee.—The Sava'iuah Re
publican, ot the 14tb inst., informs us that this dis
tinguished citizen, sailed on the steamer Nick
Ring, last Tuesday, to visit the grave of his
father, General Harry Lee, (“ Light Horse Har
ry,”) situated at Duttgeness, Cumberland Island,
on the coast of Georgia. General Henry Lee
sailed from the West Indies on the 10 b of Feb
ruary, 1818, instead of landing at Savannah, he
only reached Cumberland Island, where he was
received by Mrs. Shaw, the daughter of General
Green, at the last house of his beloved comman
der and friend. He died soon after his arrival
on he 25th of March, ISIS Dunge
ness is now the property ot William Nightin
gale, a grand-son of General Greene, and whose
guest Gen. Lee is at the present time. The lat
ter will probably return tt> S&van&h by the end
ot the week, and remain there until the time ar
rive* lor his departure to Virginia.
Mammoth Turtle.—A monster of this spe
cies was caught in Cumberland Sound, about
two miles from shore in twenty feet water. He
was thought to Le asleep at the time. M. ssrs.
B. F. Ross, 8. W. Hunt, Frank Johnson and
Capt. Pitts were the captors. Isaacs, who had
charge of the monBter and who bad him
slaughtered, says be weighed 350 pounds. We
suppose the Maconites had a grand feast over
his caicass. We get these facts lrom the Mscon
Journal.
He Btill Lives.—We are gratified to learn
through the Savannah News, o! the 11 h inst.
that Mr. H. 8. Bell, an old printer, whose death
was announced by the Republican and Advertiser,
“still lives." A telegraphic dispatch from
MacoD, where Mr. Bell is now residing, says to
the Nttot:
“ Mr. H. 8. Bell is well and hearty, and iv ,s
«t my house this afternoon.

Georgia Medical Association.—We find !
in the Macon Daily Journal, an account of the \
proceedings of this Association for the first day, I
13th of April, 1870. Dr. C. B. Nottingham, the
President, called the Association to order, and
invited the ex-officers to the stand. Dr. Mc-
Gruder, in a happy address, welcomed the
delegates and mem tiers of the Association to
the city of Macoo. Dr. W. F. Holt, of Macon,
proposed the names of fourteen applicants for
membership, all ol which wt re granted.
The President, Dr. Nottingham, delivered a
highly interesting and instructive address, j
Dr. Myers moved that a treasurer be apnointed
to receive the lunds ol the Association. The j
President appointed Dr. Crawford, of Atlanta,
as treasurer pro lem. The Committee appoint
ed on a resolution oflered by Dr. Thomas, re- j
ported as follows:
To the Georgia Medial A asocial ion :
Your committee beg leave to report the fol
lowing single resolution, which was received
and adopted:
Retained, That we, of the Georgia Medical
Association will co-operate with all State socie
ties, and the American Medical Assccia’ion in
raising the standard of pulmoniry aud medical
education.
J. G Thomas,
W. C Mcsgkovf.,
W. W. Harris.
Alter the report of a carefully prepared Con-
si i ution and By-laws, and various motions re
lative thereto, the Association adjourned till
10:30, A. M , on the 14th inst.
Serious Accident—A horse fill on a negro
man this morning, and broke his arm in three
plates, btsi *es bruising him badly. The acci
dent happened in the open space between the
car shed aud the Gate Cily Bar.
Baptist Convention—We learn from tLe
People’s Defender, that this Ecclesiastical body,
composed ot represenlativt 8 of the Baptist de
nomination ot Georgia, will assemble in How-
mu, on the 22nd inst. This is a highly re
spectable body, and generally represents the
talent and moral worth of the Georgia Babtisls,
one ol the leading religious denominations in
our .state, and composed of some of the most
respected, and talented men ot our State. The
question of removing Mercer University is now
on the t»pcs, and is seriou-ly discussed.
Where it will tie located is undetirmiued. It
wc should suggest Atlanta as the place, (ai d
we believe it is the proper place.) one would be
I charged with greediness. Thereiore, we lor-
i bear making the suggestion.
Death of an Editor —The Covington En
terprise brings us ihe tidiDgs of the death ot J.
C. Morris, Esq., at his residence in Conyers, Ga.,
on last Sunday, 10th, ot disease oi ihe brain.—
Mr. Morris was an industrious lawyer, highly
esteemed lor bis strict integrity and moral worth
and though naturally oi a trail physical consti
tution. his friends were entirely unprepared to
expect so sudeen a termination of his sojourn
among them. He has been lor the past three
years acting as local editor of the Enterprise, at
Conyets, during which time his association with
the proprietors ot that paper, have been ot the
most pleasant character. His bereaved widow
and relatives have the most sincere sympathies
of the whole community in which he resided.
Tue Season.—The Athens Watchman speaks
of a late spring in that locality. The fruits are
generblly destroyed by the late freezes. The
Watchman speaks favorably of the wheat crop.
Though late, it appears promising, and if the
seasons in the future prove favorable an abund
ant harvest may be expected. Our people
should not despair of a good crop, “ the early
and the latier rain may come,” and our barns
and our store houses may be filled. God grant
it may be so.
A Serious Accident.—Mr. Wra. R. Grant
ham, yurdsman at the Macon & Western Rail
road, was seriously injured yesterday by having
his foot run over by a railroad car. This injury
done to his loot, will probably cause him to be
laid up some weeks. It has only been a few
months since, that Mr. Graotham was crushed
between two cars, and severely injured; aud
last Saturday, his broher-iu-law, Mr. Reeves,
was badly injured by falling from a car, while
in motion. The family seems to be the victims
of railroad accidents It appears to us, that a
little more prudence and caution might prevent
many ol these accidents, which are so frequent
ly occurring.
A Horrible Narration.—We gather from
the Charleston Daily Republican, the following
facts, growing out of a marriage between some
ot the aristocratic colored people of that city:
It seems that on Wednesday last, Venus Cooley,
assisted by her sous, Cuftee aud Emanuel Fish-
burn, ioreed her daughter 8ushd, a girl about
nineteen years of age, into the stable in the rear
of the Doctor’s ptemises, there stripped her of
all her clothing, and hoisted her by a rope
around her body, up to a joist. One of the
brothers then gave her an unmerciful beating
with a fieavy cart whip. During the whipping
process, the rope broke and the bleeding and
almost insensible girl, fell some distance to the
stone pavement, aud thus while helplessly lying
on the floor ot the stable, the mother set upon
her, and beat aud kicked her in the most brutal
way. All this wa9 in the way of penally, for
contracting an unwelcome matrimonial alliance.
What ought to be done with such monsters in
human lorm we are at a loss to determiue A
brother who is so lost to every feeling ot all c-
tiou for a sister, and a mother who has no sym
pathy tor the child, who drew its first nourish
ment from her breast, and could inflict sucii
wanton, savage cruelty upon a sister aud a child,
should be punished with all the pains and pen
allies which human flesh is able to bear. Cer
tainly the administrators ol the law aboiv
Charleston, will not permit this horrid outrage
to go unpunished. Each one of the perpetrators
ot the outrage, should receive double the pun-
isbmeut inflicted upon the poor girl, «ud then
be “ hung, drawn and quartered. ”
Laborers.—We see that Mr. Kimball has al
ready a large number of laborers employed ou
the hotel lot This is but the beginniigot a
grand enterprise. An estimate wuieh we re
cently published showed that between seven and
eight* hundred hands would soon be employed
on that woik. Tms. we understand, is outside
ot the lorce which Messrs. Heely & B rrv will
have employ *d in their eight brickyards. At
the lowest estimate, one thousand laborers, in
cluding mechanics, will, at some time, bo en
gaged on this work. The qu<stion naturally
I arit-es in the mind ot an iuexperienred mau,
‘ where is all this torce to come from ?’ We s* e
many of the colored, as well as the white popu
lation of Atlanta, seem to be out of employ
ment. How it is we know not, but it does seem
to us that where there is such a demand
lor labor none, who have the bone and mus
cle, need be out ot employment. We know it
is very humiliating tor a young, stout, ab'e
bodied man who writes a good baud, ami thinks
he ought to have a position iu a store as a clerk,
to take hold of the spade or other implement ot
labor, and consequently he wi l loaf about town,
do nothing, waiting like “ Macswber lor some
thing to turn up,” run up a board bill and bilk
bis landlord, rather than by manual labor make
one or two dollars per day. So with our colored
population. You may see many o! them stand
ing or strolling about the streets, and think it is
easier to make a living by gambling or stealing
than to work in Heely & Berry's brick
yards, or on Kimball’s building. We have
vagrant laws in this country, but unfortunately
th' y are not enforced. If they were, it would
rid* our city of this idle population or compel
them to go to work for an honest subsistence.
There is no excuse now for any' man to oe a
vagrant io Attonta if he is able to work. This
demand tor labor will be largely increased,
when the work commences on the (Iglethorpe
College, which will soon be in operation. How
the labor is to be supplied to carry ou the Kim
ball Hotel and the Oglethorpe College, we are
at a loss to determine. The managers ot these
enterprises know bttter than we do how to
supply the labor necessary to c r.-y tin in on,
and we will not venture any suggest!'ms on the
sutj ct.
Marriage in a Justice’s Court.—Yester
day aftirn'KJU a neat looking carnage drove up
to the door of a Justice’s office in this city and
a nice looking couple, with a feiv attm lants,
walked in, requested his Honor to clear the
ro m and periorin the marriage ceremony for
them, which was done in quick time, A com
fort ab’e fee was presented and the pair went on
on their way rejoicing.

Another Good Man Gone—Th.' Savannah
Morning Fetes, ot the 11th iogtaui. biiunp'the
melancholy tidings of the death of John C. Fer-
rilL He died at his residence in Savannah, on
the morning ol the 9th instant, in the sixtieth
year of ids age. He had been a resident ol Sa
vannah for more than thirty years. He was an
active, eiu rgetic business man, and a public-
spirited citizen. He was generally in the front
rank of all movements for the adv .ccement ol
the interests ot Savannah, He was possessed ot
many virtues, and had the esteem and confidence
of a’l who knew him. He was the brother of
Bt-nj vV. Ferrill, of Griffin, with whom the
writer of this article was tor a number of years
associated in business, and who c m testify that
he was one of nature’s noblest works, an honest
man Many y ears ago he traveled through that
dark valley, through which his brother has just
'raveled. They are cow united in that goodly
'and, “ where the wicked cea^e lrom troubling,
and the weary are at r< st.”
Death of a Printer.—Mr. C. E. O'Sulli
van died at his residence in Savannah on the
9lb instant. He was identified with the Savan
nah Republican lor many years, and was zeal
ously devoled lo the iut.rt.sis of that paper,
w hich he made it his da ly study and labor to
promote. Alter the office with which he had
so long been identified passed into other hands,
he started a j b office on his own account. His
numerous h i- il ls flocked to his support, and he
bad succeedeu in building up a good business
when the inexorable hand ot death closed his

ye:-rs bringing in a good return.

them quite young, to mourn the loss ot a kind
husband and tender father, and the community,
where he i-pent thirty years of a useful and labo
rious lne, iaaunt the departure ol an upright
man and good citizen.
The Building Season.—Now that the rainy
seasons are over and spring lairly set in, Atlanta
seems to have redoubled her energies in the way
of building. On almost every street the sound
of the carpenter’s tools can be heard, and build
ings are going up rapidly. The new stores on
Marietta street are being occupied, while there
are evidences that Mitchell street is to be orna
mented with some substantial business houses.

Highly satislactory to the parents and patrons
ol the school, and a sincere congratulation to
the teachers and officers ot the institution. This
is gratilying news to the lriends ol humanity.—
If any ot our State ln-titulioas deserves encour
agement, it is this. That unfortunate class of
our population which it is designed to benefit,
are truly objects of compassion. Deprived of
the sense ot hearing, and consequently of the
power of speech, it left destitute of the advan
tages ol education, their condition must be most
deplorable. We hope our State Legislature will
deal liberally with the institution, and never let
it sutler lor want of funds.
Scene in a Justice’s Court.—A negro, who
had made some progress up (he road to educa
tion was testifying in his own case, from written
memoranda before a Justice of the Peace in this
. by the other day. He spoke very loudly and
emphatically, addressing himself to bis counsel,
who told him to address the Court, whereupon
he turned abruptly, and in stentorian voice, ex
claimed: “ Well, Court 1 every word ot what I
9ay is so.” At this announcement there was a
burst of laughter in the room, and it was with
difficulty that bis Honor could curb his propen
sity to join in the general laugh.
Specie Payments.—We see in our exchanges
much said about specie payments. We cannot
speak lor other cities, but so lar as Atlanta is
concerned, although we hear oi much silver
change being paid out here, we are yet to see
the first dime which has beeD put in circulation.
Not being one oi those who handle much
money, may account for this. We think there
is a great deal of humbuggery about this specie
pay ment. If any is paid out it is in such small
quantities that it is not perceivable to the public
eye. And when paid out, the parlies receiving
it put it in some secret place, where it is as much
out ol circulation as when in the vaults of the
banks. So far as we are concerned, we would
just as soon have Iraciional currency as silver
change.
The “ Constitution,” of this Morning,
requests its cotempc ar.es who have published
the statement rela'ive to the reception given a
negro couple, at G tvernor Bullock’s residence,
and have not published its correction, to do so
and • bilge it. We would do so with pleasure,
but have nut the correction making the amende
belore U3.
Interesting Case.—An interesting case was
tried belore Justice Thomas Spencer yesterday,
in which Mr. Jas. H. Calloway was plaintiff,
and Me-srs. Win, Markham, M. G. Dobbins,
H P. Fairow, James Atkins, J. B. Dumbly
and VV. L. Sciuggs, as numbers of the Republi
can Association, were deiendants. The suits
were brought on eight promissory notesgiven ior
the rent ot rooms in the Granite Block, in which
a newspaper was published, and were signed by
“ W. L. Scruggs, faith ot Republican Assoeia-
ri n.” There was consider able evidence belore
me court as to the time ot the existence ol the
Association aud the dates ot the notes, as well
as to the authority to bind the said Republican
Association. His Honor rendered the following
decision :
‘ Mr. Calloway is justly entitled to his rent,
and Mr. Bcruggs is liable. The plaintiff has
tailed to prove that Mr Scruggs was a partner
or authorized agent to sign any obligation bind
ing the Republican association ; and things em
ployed by the association for a .-ptcific purpose,
that gave him no alien rigli s as tue plaintiff
claims that he ex raised iu these cases.” We
learn that the case will be taken to the Superior
Court.

A Deserving Caning.—Captain J. H.Miller,
by ids activity aud perseverance in the Lile In
surance business, has brought upon himself a de-
s»rved caning. So says the Augusta Constitu
tionalist. But there was nothing very unpleas
ant about the operation, as is sometimes the
case in caning scrapes. He has been made the
recipient of a handsome cane, with the device
ol a dogshead, one side ot which bears the in
scription : “ From the Southern Lile Insurance
Company to its most successful Agent.” On the
other side is endorsed : “ Atlanta, Ga., March
10,1870 J. B. Gordon, President; W. C. Mor

that the Catholic Church in China has twenty
bishops and two hundred and Unity-three
priests, besides na ive priests, twelve colleges,

sire, aud restore to them the property confiscated

found in nearly every ciiyotihe empire. The

The Protestants have one hundred and seven

who has spent nearly 32 years in China, believes
it the present state ot progress is unchecked,
another fiity years will change the government
to a nominally Christian one.

The following correspondence appeared
in the Washington Chronicle of the 12th inst.
We lay it before our readers as a part ot the
political occurrences of the times, connected with
the reconstruction of the State, and of events
transpiring in Atlanta. Opposed as we are and
ever have been to the Fiiteenth Amendment,
and the measures proposed by Congress for the
reconstruction of the State, we nevertheless feel
that the plausibility and ability displayed by
the Leader emphatically of the Republican
Party in this State, in the letter which appears
in the correspondence referred to, and iu bis
untiring perseverance, constitute him a leader
and representative man, whose influence has
been underrated by the Democratic papers of
the State generally, and against whom more of
argument than abuse should be directed, if they
ever expect to weaken the influence he exer
cises, either in the State or at Washington:

Mr. Charles G Cook, Secretary of the Young
Men’s Hepublican Club of Fulton county, Ga.:
Dear Sir: I am in receipt ot your favor oi
the 2nd instant, in closing copy of resolutions
adopted at a meeting of your club, held on the
evening ot the 30ih ultimo.
For the very complimentary manner in which
my name is mentioned in the resolutions, the
club will please accept my most sincere thanks,
and also the assurance that my efforts to secure
both theoretically and practically a repnblican
form of government in Georgia shall not be re
laxed until that good work is accomplished.
The example set by the young men of Fulton
county in organizing a Republican club is one
that should be followed by our friends in every
county in the State. We can in no other way
so well extend our influence and secure at our
elections a lull vote of the party adherents.
Permit me to embrace this opportunity of sta
ting to our Republican lriends in Georgia my
exact position in regard to the best interests ot
that commonwealth, and the precise condition
in which legislation as respects her reconstruc
tion and readmission as a State in the Union
now stands.
At the close of the war, when the Southern
armies surrendered, in my opinion that surren
der included a tacit submission to the law, both
political and civil, of the recognized authorities
of the United States. When, in the exercise ol
this power, the late rebellious Slates were
placed under the control of the military arm,
an assurance more liberal than we had any
right to expect was given us, that, so soon as
we would change the fundamental laws of our
State so that they Ehould conform to the pro
visions ot the Constitution of the United States,
and show, in good faith, our intention to abide
thereby, the military power should be removed
and we would be permitted to resume the gov
ernment ot our own State.
At that time, as now, I believed that the
proper place for my native State was in the
Union, and I determined at once to devote my
self heartily to the work of reconstruction. In
this work I hoped to have the cooperation of my
former friends and political associates—the men
who in past limes had honored me with politi
cal trust. To a great extent I have been disap
pointed in that expectation. I soon discovered
that to be a reconstructionist in Georgia was to
be an ostracised man, so far, at least, as my
former political friends were concerned. This,
however, did not deter me lrom maintaining the
course which I had marked out.
When the delegates to the Constitutional
Convention were chosen, I was honored with a
seat in that body. I used my influence there
to frame lor the citizens of Georgia such a con
stitution as I myself was willing to live under
and abide by, and to-day I am still satisfied
therewith, because I believe it to be thor
oughly Republican in form, and equitably
Just.
Of the stand I have taken since its adoption,
and at our first election under it, It is perhaps
unnecessary that I should speak at length. My
record is in my private and public political
acts, any ot which, at any time, I am willing
shall be submitted to ihe scrutiny of an impar
tial tribunal.
The journals ot Georgia, which have persist
ently opposed reconstruction, have also, many
oi them, unsparingly abused me, not retraining
even from the lowest personal villification oi
myself and my family. All this I have borne
and can bear in silence, because I understood
tbe source from which it proceeds: and, not
withstanding all this, I shall continue to labor
here for the perfection of such legislation as will
secure peace to Georgia, aud also tor that with
out which peace would be but a mere mockery;
namely, the right of every citizen to the full en
joyment of all the privileges granted to him by
the laws of the Union and of the State.
At the present time the bill for the reton
struction ot Georgia is in the S na'.e, where it
has been sent by the House, encumbered with
wnat you well characterize as “ that iniquitous
measure, the Bingham amendment.” In my
mind I do not entertain a doubt but that this
amendment will be suicken out by the Senate.
Neither do I doubt but that the sober second
thought of the House, weakened as it has been
by the rebel howls of gratification which greeted
the adoption ot the edious amendment will, by
an overwhelming vote, concur in this striking
out
That work accomplished, the Legislature ot
Georgia will have time to enact suitable militia,
registration and election laws, and provide lor
their execution That this will speedily be done
I have no doubt Before tbe close of another
week, I hope to see our Senators admitted to
their seats, and Georgia placed once more side
by S'de with her sister States, on the broad high
way of national progress. That she will be able
to maintain a proud position there, none of us
who know her vast mineral and agricultural
resources can pretend to doubt
Under the genial reign of peace and equal
rights, all her natural interests will be revived,
her valuable water powers will be improved, her
▼alleys and hills will be covered with thrifty
communities, and sbe will be again, as in the
days of yore, tbe Empire State of the South.
May a kind Providence hasten the daxiriLgof
that day.
I cannot close this letter without saying to
your association that the men in tbe Senate and
House of Representatives of the United States
who have stood up lor the rights of the people of
Georgia are deserving oi the highest encomiums
ot praise and gratitude. The limits of a letter
preclude the idea of giving the names ot these,
our friends. They are numerous.
Again assuring your association of my earnest
desire for the prosperity of the whole people of
Georgia, and tor the spread of the political
truths which it is your privilege and your duty
to disseminate, I am, sir, very respectfully,
yours, Foster Blodgett.
The Twenty-Eighth Anniversary of the
State Road.—We learn that the employees
of the State Road will celebrate in pic nic style
the twenty-eighth anniversary of this road, on
7th proximo, either at Lookout Mountain or
Turing's Station, The “boys” will have a
merry time of it,
The Atlanta Bar—Not among the least
noticeable features ol Atlanta, is that body
known as the “ Legal Fraternity.” Indeed this
class of persons must ever in the intore as in
the p;,st, constitute an important and powerful
element in every city, State and country, lor the
profession has long been esteemed honorable,
sud from the amount of talent, dignity and
polish necessary to constitute the successful
lawyer, only tLo^e ol high mental culture have
been able to rise to anything like success, while
men ot ordinary intellect have made greater
progress in almost every other profession. Every
country must recognize some law, and in pro
viding a remedy tor every evil, a punishment
for evt ry wrong, and a process ior the enforce
ment ot every right. As well as fixed rules for
the administration of tt;e:e necessties—taking
precedent as a guide—it has been found neces
sary tor a certain order of men to study those
laws, which ia time have become voluminous
and to be able to interpret aud administer them
to such ends as they were designed. It iollows
as h matter ot course, that those upon whom
these high aud responsible duties iall
should be men u.'t only oi mental
worth, but o! that high sense of honor
and dignity which should stamp the
successful lawyer as a gentleman, as well as an
ad vocai e. We know that as a class they have
been much abused, and regret, that many in
stances do, and have existed iu which that cen
sure was wdl deserved ; but, as a general rule,
we believe that those b.tier qualities predomi
nate, and we led that Atlanta, in sittingin judg
ment upon her “ bar” will agree with us in tbis
assertion. Believing that it will be interesting
to our reach rs to know who have, in Hints
pa-sed, practiced this profession here, and who
are engaged in those duties now, we publish
below two lists which have been carefully pre
pared ; one showing the members ot the bar
thirteen years ago, aud the other, who consti
tute it now:

For the last few years the proprietors of
ihe celebrated Plantation Bitters have been ex
perimenting in the growing of Calisaya Bark on
the Island of Jamaica, and have found, from
actual tests, and by no means a mean experi
ence, that this valuable bark can be grown with
marked success, only upon the mountains, from
1,500 to 2,000 feet high. There the forests are
often bedewed with the early mist, and this tree
arrives at its full perfection. Owing to Ihe large
ly increasing demand for the bark required for
the manufacture of quinine, and also ior use in
the preparation ot Plantation Bitters, the pro
curing of it has been a source of great anxiety
to the proprietors, and seeing, as they did, that
the South American supply would soon give
out, took the above early precaution to lully
supply the demand, and, assisted and encour
aged as they are by the English government, at
Jamaica, we have not the least doubt but they
will succeed.

A Colored Man Attempts to Kidnap a
Colored Woman, and Shoots at Her as She
Escapes •—Robert Brown, a colored man, invited
Eliza Carter, a colored woman, to ride in a bug
gy with him on Saturday afternoon. She con
sented, provided he would take her home, to
which he assented. When they had driven
about a quarter oi a mile, Eliza lound out that
they were not going in the right direction, and
demonstrated with Brown, wto promised that
it would be all right, and asked her to rids into
the country with him, which invitation she de
clined, and jumped out of the buggy. Brown
pursued, but was entangled with the buggy, so
that Eliza got ofl some distance from him. He
demanded that she should come and go off with
him, or he would shoot her brains out. Upon
her refusal, he diew a pistol and fired at her, tbe
ball passing very near her head. She succeeded
in getting away, and caused Brown to be arrest
ed, and bound over for appearance to the Supe
rior Court, to answer to the charge of assault
with intent to murder. Brown pretends to have
been drunk throughout the whole transaction.
Fresh Meats.—Our market is well supplied
at this time with beef, generally of a good qual
ity. The pork season is nearly played ont,
though there is yet some in market. The same
may be S;-.i 1 in regard to muttou. But take it
all iu all tve Lave no r rt'-on to complain of the
supply of fresh meats, which is something that
we ate all more or less interested iu. Tine, we
may be said to have no public market honse,
(which we very much regret,) but there are a
large number of stores in the city, which supply
this defect. The pork season is now giving out,
and the mutton supply is now very scant, but
will be better after awhile. Prices are
pretty high, but the butchers inform us
that this is a matter ot necessity grow
ing out of the fact that there is a scarcity
to the markets from which they derive their sup
plies. The law ot supply and demand governs
this market as well as all others, and the scarcity
or abundance of any community, must, to a
greater or less extent govern the price. This
must plead the excuse oi our butchers for tbe
apparently high price which they ask for their
mgats. In the course of a few months, when
the pastures shall be in full bloom, and feed for
cattle be cheap and plenty, beet and mutton
will be abundant and cheap. Till then, let ns
bide our time, and hope ior lower prices and
better times.

mmi WATCHES.
The extensive use of these watches for the last fifteen
years by Railway Conductors, Engineers, and Express
men, tbe most exactiniriof watch-wearers, has thoroughly
demonstrated the strength, durability and accuracy ot
the Waltham Watch. To satisfy that class in all theso
respects, is to decide the question as to the real value of
theee time-keepers.
More than 450,000 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves iu the pockets of t e people—a
proof and a guarantee of Uuirtuoeriority over all others.
The superior organization and great extent of the
Company’s Works at Waltham, enable them to produce
watches at a price which renders competition futile,
and those who bay any other watch, merely pay from
25 to 60 per cent, more for t heir watches than is necessary
We are now selling Waltham Watches at less prices
in greenbacks, than the gold prices before the war.
There is no other manufacture of any kind in the
United States of which this can be said.
These time-p’eces combine every Improvement that
a long experience has proved of real practical use
Having tad the reiu-al of nearly every invention in
watchmaking originating in this country or in Europe,
only those were finally adopted which severe testing by
the most skillful arii.ans in our works, and long use ou
the part ot 1hc public, demonstrated to be essential to
correct and enduring time-aeeping.
Among the many improvement we would particu
larise :
'i’ne invention and use of a centre-pinion of peculiar
construction, to prevent damage to the train by the
oreakage of main springs, is original with the American
Watch Company, who, having bad the reiusal of all
other contrivances, adopted Fogg’s Patent pinion as
being the best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now universally
admitted by watchmakers to be the best, are used in all
grades of Waltham Watches
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps, protect
ing the movements from dnstand lessening the necessi
ty of the frequent cleaning necessary in other watches.
Our new patent stem-binder, or keylees watch, is
already a decia-d success and a grea’ improvement on
any stem-winding watch in the American market, and
