To the exclusion of other matter, we lay be fore ifie readers ot the Intelligencer this morning, in these editorial column 1 -, tin- lollow- ing address issued by the Hon Ben. (J. Yanoey —the President ol i he “State Agricultural Socie ty"—by which it will he seen that a call lor an Agricultural Convention, to meet in this city, on Tuesday, the lfltli dayot August next, lias been made. Tlie reader’s special at .cm ion is invited to President Yancey’s uddref-s. In it the im port mice ot the movement upon the agricultu ral and other interests ot the State, and the. suc cess of the State Fair, whi jh will so soon fol low the proposed Convention, me so forcibly presented, that it would be supeilluous in us, at the present time, to add a word in commenda tion of the recommendation, or call. We have only to say that, iu our deliberate judgment, great good t un be accomplished by the proposed Convention :— ADDRESS CALLING AN AGRICULTURAL CONVEN TION. Plantation Co-isa River, i ■lime 15, lti.'a ) The Executive Committee ot the State Agri cultural Society have requested the llou. David W. Lewis to withdraw his resignation ol the of fice of Secretary of the Society, and that, upon his withdrawal of the same, I should publish an order reinstating him iu said office. His resignation has been withdrawn, aud an oruer declaring him reinstated iu office haa been duly published, and he is again in tue office ss fully in the discharge of its duties as it his resig nation had never occurred. (See Appendix A. ) Thus, tt is hoped, are ended the embarrass- tneuls aud the unpleasant issues growing out ol the measures adopted to till the vacancy iu the office ot Secretary. So fa r as ihese measures and the questions rising out ot them have thought complaint against myself, or induced attacks upon my official conduct, conscious of the rectitude and disinterestedness of my inten tions throughout, 1 can aud do disregard them, knowing them to be based upon error and a misapprehension of tacts. I have aimed, in all my action, at the good of an organization which 1 teel has, in a great measure, been entrusted to my judgment and mauageuieui. I claim do ex emption Irom public criticism for any error, but deprecating the contiuuauco o( strife aud personalities, tor one, I cast them aside, and here, now, invoke the oo-operatiou of all who teel interested in the succtss ot the Society in this important stage in its history. Looking, then, to the Inline, with the lights of the situation, what do we see, uud then what should we dot* After an existence anil succesa- tul operation of a quarter ot a century, the So ciety, with the aids which it has received trom a public spirited people, has originated and car ried forward a spirit ot improvement and pro gress in agriculture and its kindred arts which is everywhere visible. Iu nothing, perhaps, is this spirit more manifest than iu the eagerness and numbers with which the people visit annual Agricultural Fairs. Indeed, such is the desire to render available all the menus and sources of improvement which are to be derived trom Ag ricultural Fairs and cattle shows, that there is scarcely au important city m tlie State, and scarcely a county with its Agricultural Society, that will not have their Faio-- during the coming season In this line ol effort, therefore, the ex ample a.,d influence ol the State Society has peruap* accomplished its work It may be to its interest as an organisation, to coutmue its Anuual Fairs, or at least hold them m connec tion with some one ot the important organiza tions in different parti at the State upon terms ot mutual advautace. Be mat as it may; let the luiure decide. The uuporiant question now presents itself, is there not other aud gieater wcik lor the State Agiicultural Society to per form, and which no . ther organization can so well undertake* 1 Are there u u some measures ot legislation which a united and intelligent ex pression trom those men pcsonally devoted to the cultivation ot the soil ought to demand, and uever cease to demaud until granted ¥ Are there not great aud ii culcu ahle advantages to be derived from a closer and more frequent in tereourse between cultivated mindsrepieseuting the agricultural interests ot all sections of the State ¥ Is it not plsiu io the most oidmary per ception—is it not evident io ev, n plodding la bor itself, that in its simplest operations it Ts in daily contact with ootu the revelations aud mys teries ot science, and is not,. therefore, every mind and heart ready to euliiroue Science as the presiding genius ot labor, and to establish, by liberal appropriations made by law, intimate relations between them—relations between the laboratory and the farm as close and intimate as m iced are the tvlareons ot cause anil effect * Is not this the mission cd our organization ?

Counties which have uo organized societies shoo.d organize at cno. (See form tor ! Constitution ol County Agricultural Society, j Appendix B.) The following are among the subjects which i will be submitted to the consideration of the I Convention: 1. A closer connection and mutual depend- ! enre between the county societies and the State Society.

The reiteration and continual reiteration ol our demand lor the payment of the annual ap propriations by the L-gislaiure of I860, of twenty five hundred dollars—ten years’ appro pri&tinn now due, and not one ever paid. 7 The delegates fiom the several county .societies are requested Io bring up with th m full and detailed reports upon the agricultural condition of their respective counties. Let these reports embrace comparative statements of the probable yield of the crop this year and the last; the number oi acres in cotton and grain this year and the last; increase or de crease iti the grain crop; more or leas attentiou io the production of meats; changes and im provements in agricultural implements; changes and improvements in the modes ot prepar turn aud tillage; changes aud improvements in con tracts with and management of labor. These and other topics which members do ibt le>s will present to tbe Convention are well woitb the consideration ol assembled (aimers and planters. The time and place are favorable lor a great step forward in combining the stiength <;1 the agricultural interests in tavor of important un-a-urea—favorable, too, for a convivial re union of representative men from every 1< entity and interes' in the State. The crops will nave been laid by. and the time tor the meeting one of comparative leisure The work on th. im provements at the Fair Grounds has been most rapid and successful, and promises, by the rime of the proposed meeting, to be so near com pletion as to make an excursion to the gi..uuds gratifying and interesting. The extraordinary facilities granted by the railroads is itself enough, to say nothing .#t the advantages to he derived from the deiibe arions aud social influences of such a gatheiii.g of practical aud progressive men, to induce the count cs lo orgauize, and to preserve their or ganizations. The Secretaries of county Societies, at the same time they send uo the names of their del egates, will also send a revised and perfect list ot their members for 1870. Iu the returns they will please specify the line, or lines, ol railroad over which their dilegates will travel. As this is uot a usual but au extraordinary meeting ot the Society, the expenses of mem- bers anil of the Convention will not be ch tgea- ble to the city under the contract with the city io pay the contingent expenses oi the Society lor the year 1870. Ben. C. Yancey, President. The Pleasures of Wealth—A Lesson.— II moral lessons were uot usually useless, it might he worth while to draw one from the career, so lately closed, of the two richest celeb rities ot the Paris world of dissipation, Prince Demidoti and Count Koncbeleff Both..) these possessors of unlold wealth literally w<u, : them selves out iu the pursuit of pleasure. Their wonderful collections of artistic treasures, and their sumptuous places which they spent mil lions in adorning, had no charms f..r their spoiled minds. They lived in inns and on rail ways, spending money and finding no satisfac tion in it. Prince Demidoff even grew weary of the pretty aciressess whom hi-wealth nought, and Count Konchelefl’s menagerie lost its charm lor him. The wife whom he bought for $100,- 000, paying her husband that amount to divorce her, squandered his immense fortune, and finally separated from him. The dish of tried parrots’ tongues, costing $500. which was a special deli cacy ot his feasts, palled upon him, aud epilepsy closed his life just as he came into the posses sion of $000,000 a year, at the age of thirty- seven. Prince Demidoff, whose name among his parasites was Prince Decomposition, ex hausted his li e in dissipation. Pars'ysis of the salivary glands caused him to be afflicted with the thirst of Tantalus, and wherever the death like, idiotic lace aud weakened iorni ot the mil lionaire was seen, behind hint stood a servant to appease that unquenchable thirst which con sumed him. Years oi low association uufitted him for the brilliant society in which he wished to pass the last years of his miserable existence, and he passed away, among his ignoble com panions. wrecked in body and weak in miud.— Boston Post. Helmbold's Jehu and iootmen, colored, struck iu Harlem Lane the other day. The New York Sun says the little Doctor at once mount ed the box, seized the reins, turned the estab lishment around and drove home, leaviog his discomfftted employees staring in the du9t of the road. He then lormally discharged the mu tineers, and set about replacing them witn white men, four of whom he has secured—all Irish men. The new whip is one of the smartest in the country, and formerly drove the fours-in- nand ot Leonard W. Jerome and August Bel mont. The Doctor has projected novel liveries lor his reconstructed Jehus, which will outshine anything else in New York. They will wear drab coats, buttoned up to the tbroac, with high velvet collars and velvet cuffs, and gilt buttons ; scarlet neckties will surmount immaculate white dickies, and cream-colored knee-breeches will appear above high-tip boots. Tb« Brysnt'Ancler Democracy. Alas 1 for those would-be dictators to the De mocracy of Georgia, who some time ago assumed t>> foist upon the party, to which thev owed allegiance,’ these two original RepuUicans— Bryant and Angier—and make leaden of them in it.

In the mean time, we ehall only repeat, alas I for the mis placed confidence of the Bryant-Angier De mocracy. We warned them in time, but they would uot heed tha warning. A man in Cincinnati had to pay $10 aud cos s lor cheering lor Jeff Davis —Ex. What particular harm there is iu cheeriug .left Davis, “ or any other man,” who has no power to do evil to the public, and is not iikely ever to rise to the political surface again, is a mystery. In Dahcmey the King cuts off the head of a subject who utters a word offensive to his petsonal notions. In Poland, prison and siripes are the penalty ot “hurraing” lor any body but the Czar ot Russia, and that must be done in the Russian language. We are emu lsting these practices and regulations quite suc cessfully, it would seem Why on earth, we ask, should not a citizen of a tdorious Ri public like this be privileged to hurrah lor Jeff Davis, or Abraham Lincoln,or B.-u Butler, or anybody else he may delight in ? The Princes of the House ot Orleans have addressed a letter to the deputies oi the Corps Legislatii on tbe occasion of a motion made by Marquis Depere relative to the reeali ot the Princes ot both lines of the Bourbon family.— The Princes say “ In the presence <»1 this prop osition we cannot keep silence. Since I84S we have protested agaiust the law which exiled us. Nothing has justified that esue since, and we come to renew our protests. It is not grace that we demand ; it is our right; a right which belongs to all Frenchmen, and ot which we are despoiled It is our country which we ask lor, I whicn we 1 ve, which our family has always | loyally sen i, from which none*ot our tradi- ; lions separait us, and whose name uiotie ever j causes our hearts to beak Nothing can replace our absent country.” I The arrangements tor the appeal to the House j ot L. rds in the il mot divorce case have beeu completed.

All previous decisions bearing on the case are opposed to the vierv ot Lord PeDzance and his colleague, aud iu tavor ot tbe Lord Cbiet Baron, who differed from the majority of the courts. In Queen Elizabeth's reign there is & report for ihe year 1580, in which u is stated “that the mains oi honor desired to have their chambers ceiled, and the partition that is ot boards to be made higher, for that the servants looked over.” Aud about ihe same time it is said that cer tain young noblemen and gentlemen were guilty ot si in in indecorous behavior, being fond oi peepiag over these Boards, to the great annoy ance ol the ladies when at their toilet, whereat her majesty was highly displeased, and severely , reproved iUem. Another Kimball, A telegram trom Indianapolis, dated the 27th instant, says: “ Gen. Kimball, Treasurer of the State, left this morning with checks on New York for nearly half a million dollars This with halt a million dollars sent for tbe same purpose a lew days since, will almost, it not entirely, liquida'e the Stale debt.” The Kimball family in the West appear, like those in Georgia, to be engaged in good wotk. “ May their shadows never grow less !"

He is now seventy-five yea:s ol age and is afflicted with neuralgia and gout. He, however, declines to teud lor his sou, lor tear ot interfering with the ocean yacht race. The warm weather of the last few days has had such an effect as to cause his triends great alarm. Thurlow Weed was also reported quite unwell at his residence, corner ol Filth avenue and Twellth street. Burke’s Weekly. The July numbers of that excellent periodical tor juvenile readers, “ Burkes Weekly for Boys and Girls," (J. W. Burke & Co., Macon,) are ticeived. We do uot know of any paper lor young people that can compare with this. It is incomparably the best we know. The stories written by Southern authors of reputation, are always interesting and morally instructive. Every weekly number is filled with choice and well executed engravings, and every department oi the paper displays ability, close and careful attention and a perfect knowledge ot what a paper tor boys and girls ought to be. The publishers offer as a premium to persons sending the names of three subscribers—one of them new—with $6 in money, two beautiful steel engravinge, “ General Lee at the Grave of Stonewall Jackson,” and “They Strew the Sacred Spot with Flowers,” or one ol the pic tures to any one sending two subscribers—one ol them new—and $4. These beautiful works of art are said to be in trinsically worth far more than the money re quired for them and the copies of the Weekly. Volume IV. begins with July. We earnestly advise our lrieuds to subscribe for it, and get one or two lriends to subscribe, and thus be sides a good paper obtain one or both oi the gems of art to which we have referred.

The constitution of Massachusetts provides that “ No person shall have the right to vote, or be eligible to office under the constitution ot this commonwealth, who shall not be able to read tbe coustitution in the English language and write bis name.” It such a clause as this had been incorpo rated into the Constitution ot Georgia, who believes that it would have been received and pronounced Republican iu form, even by the present Congress ? Rural Carolinian for July —The great trouble in noticing the Rural Carolinian always, is to notice everything worthy of mention, and yet, occupy only a reasonable space. This month we give up the task in despair, and shall only select some of the., principal points. The num ber opens with a short and interesting sketch of Mr. Peabody, illustrated with a handsome por trait of that great philanthropist. This is fol lowed by an able article on the value ot Sugar Cane as a seacoast crop. This in turn is follow ed by a very elaborate and interesting essay on guano aDd its uses. Two articles on grasses, one in tavor and the other opposed to their culti vation, give light on that question. Facts and Figures lor rice planters is worthy ol special men!ion, and Col. Aiken gives two firstrate ar ticles on the mule and the Mississippi Valley.— The usual large amount of valuable correspond ence, numerous contributions on different sub jects, and the editor's invaluable notes and sug gestions help to make up au amount of reading matter which will correspond favorably with the contents of any similar work.

There was considerable amusement in the House yesterday, when Mr. Randall, of Penn sylvania, arraigned Ben Butler lor striking out of the manuscript of the Globe report Mr. Ran dall’s declaration in the House the other day that Butler was not an honest mau. It seems that Butler had possession of the manuscript to revise his own speech, and coming across Ran dall’s allusion mutilated the report by cutting it out, a liberty that the proprietors of the Globe declare to be without precedent. Butler’s con duct excites indignation among neatly all the members of the House. Suu Struck In New York, on the 27th instant, eight cases ot sunstroke occurred, only one of which proved fatal. We have heard of none yet in Atlanta notwithstanding the great heat which has pre vailed here during working hours for several days past. The Four Larged Cattle la tbe World. We learn from the Poughkeepsie correspon dent of the New York Evening Telegraph that Mr Geo. Ayrault, a well-to-do Duchess county farmer, who takes great pride in raising sleek, t&t cattle, has raised tbe tour fattest steers in the world. The lightest one of them, weighs three thousand and three hundred pounds, and the heaviest, over four thousand pounds. Mr. Ayrault sold these cattle to Mr. Taylor, of Fulton Market, New York, for $S0Q each, or $3 200 lor all. Selling Cold. The Secretary of the Treasury will sell the first week in July over two millions of gold interest saved on the sinking fund. This is in addition to the regular sales ol gold yet to be ordered tor July. Such an amount ot gold thrown upon the New York market at once, will in all proba bility reduce largely tbe premium upon it- Cotton. The cotton movement tor the week ending Friday evening was light.

To the People of Georgia : I desire a few words with the people of Geor gia, in explanation of my conduct as developed by the testimony before the Bullock-Angier Committee. Some will censure me because they desire to do so. Others will look at the tacts, and make up a judgment based upon the surroundings. AI1 that can be said against me is, that I paid Treasurer Angier money tor do ing what 1 believed the law required of him.— But law did not require him to labor at extra ordinary hours, which he did, aud that was what I paid him for, and nothing else. I uever asked a bond, till tbe Brunswick A Albany Railroad had done all, iu my opiniuu^Ohe law required. 1 am as innocent of any intended wrong, in this matter, as any citizen ot Georgia. Dr. Angier thought he had a right to take pay for extra labor, and I did not imagine it was wrong to pay him. The Central Railroad ha9 been, from the start, opposed to the State en dorsement of the Brunswick & Albany bonds The fight between the roads hi a been fierce. I had it trom a source that satisfied me fbe au thorities of the Central Railroad would h&7e me prosecuted. Knowing that I am innocent of any intended violation of law, and behwing that the Governor, from the testimony,‘*hust see that I did not intend to do wrong, only to be relieved trom the perplexities ot a prosecu tion, I asked and got a pardon in this behal!. I simply desired to be relieved from any un necessary trouble and expense in the matter I acted as an Attorney tor other parties. The State has lost nothing by my act. 1 have been a citizen of this State for u> ar a quarter ot a ceutuiy. I have obeyed the law, paid my taxes to support the Government promptly, and labored for the common welfare as faithfully as most men. I regret this whole affair more than any lriend can for me. 1 have labored to maintain an upright life. Barr ing frailties, to which all flesh is heir, I have a record, which I am not ashamed to leave*be- bind, when called to that “ bourne whence no traveler returns.” I make these statements because I desire the good opinion of my iellowmen and to be under stood. Such papers, as notice my connection with this affair, will confer a iavor by copying this note. V. A. Qaskill. NEWS ItY TELEGRAPH. Washington, June 29.—Revenue $697,000.

Charlottesville, June 29— University of Virginia , June29th, 1870.—The immense crowd ot both sexes, Irom all sections of Ihe Union, assembled ia University Hall to-night to hear an address hefore the literary societies by Hon. George H. Pendleton, of Ohio. In coming for ward, he was received with tremendous ap plause. The subject of the address was con- staut, regular, unremitting progresa of the human race in everything which tends to its civilization aud elevation; that this progress is the result ot the efforts of individual men; that every human life aids or retards it, and the con sequent dutir ot every man is to develop to the very largest extent every capacity of mind and soul and body, that tie may contribute bis just share to the general advancement of the race; this main idea was enlorced by philosophical’ illustration, comparisons of the civilization ol the world ot different epochs and in different, countries, aud by reference to the face of nations and individuals. Iu the course of the address, he alluded to the history ot the University and to lives and characteristics of its three great patrons- the splendid trinity of Jefferson Madison aud Monroe. In the course of his re marks, Mr. Pendleton made the following refer ence to national affairs: “ It is true we are building up States in the wilds of the Rocky Mountains with wonderful rapidity. It is true, we span the Continent with rail and wire, and’ send our thoughts in an instant across the waters of old ocean itself. It is true, we are advanc ing with uequalled speed towards the summit of national power and renown. So much the greater reason why we should not lag behind in the pathway of purely intellectual and literary eminence. So much the greater reason that we should at all times remember that there is something better than uaiional prosperity; something worthier our efforts than physical honor in accumulated wealth. Let us find with hope ar. incentive in the fact that the ages of the greatest physical activity have been those of the greatest intellectual impulse.” Mr. Peudleton said the true test of the worthi ness ot the age is the worthiness of ourselves which each thinking man should put to himself in the secrecy of his heart, “ learning by ex ample.” The address wasr considered a very eloquent effort, aud gave great satisfaction to all hearers, and M.r. Pendleton was frequently interrupted with applause during its delivery. Senator Yates, oi Illinois, passed through here this morning sn route tor While Sul phur Springs.

Dear Sib : Your note some weeks ago ad dressed to President Yancey, proposing an interview upon the best policy to be adopted to encourage the formation ot County Agricultu ral Societies, was duly received, and is on file in this office. He is now absent at his iarm in Alabama. 1 have but recently visited him, ano while there, he prepared a circular Jor publica tion which will appear shortly, and which main ly has in view the object referred to in yout letter. He requested me to consult with you on the subject, and to make such additions to this circular, ol suggestions bearing upon this point, as you might ofier. I have now, in accordance with the Presi dent’s request, to call upon you for such sug gestions, aid or advice, as I am sure it will be your pleasure to ofier. Very respectfully, Dav. W. Lewis. To Mr. H. 1. Kimball, Atlanta, Ga. Atlanta, June 23, 1370. D. W. Lewis, Esq., Secretary: Dear Sib—Your favor of tbe 22d instant, in answer to mine to Col. Yancey, in regard to the encouragement of County Agricultural Socie with great intereet, and am very much pleased with the suggestions it contains, 1 shall, at all times, be moBt happy to co-operate with you lor the encouragement of this work, and at the time ot the Convention, will arrange so as to have an excursion to the Fair Grounds, which I trust will be both interesting and profitable. Having identified myself with the Agricultural interest ot the State’ I am very desirous of mak ing the acquaintance of the representatives oi the Agricultural Societies from different counties over the State, and will be gratified to meet with you In the coming Convention. 1 am very anxious- that our County Societies shall make a good showing at our Fair this fall, and tor the purpose of encouraging them to an effort, I hereby authorize you to offer the following ad ditional prizes: To the County Society having the largest and best organized Camp and Equipage —a magui- ficent camp chest, worth $150, name ot society and county lo be engraved on silver- plate. To the County Society which shall be headed by the best band, a silver bugle, (or cornel) as may be selected for the use ot the Society Band. It seems to me there is no reason why Geor gia may not become one ot the greatest inanu- iacturiug States in the Union, and while we are turning our attention largely to agriculture, let us ever remember a greater diversity ol pursuits will add to our wealth and promote the geueral welfare of our people. To the end, that a more general interest may be awakened regarding this important subji-ci, I hereby authorize you to offer to the County Society that shall exhibit the best average pro ducts of the greatest variety of pursuit, a splen did silk and gold banner, with the name of the society and a commemorative inscription there on. Trusting that the-foregoing may meet your approval, believe me, dear sir, respectfully yours, H. i. Kimrall. Twenty-one Years of Silence—There is a woman in the town of Harmony, Chautauqua county, who has not spoken to her husband for twenty-one years. In the year 1849 her husband contradicted her harshly in the presence of com pany, and she threatened that it he didn’t be have better toward her 9he would never speak to him again. He retorted that he wished she wouldn’t; and she has not since spoken to him. They have continued to live together peacefully, and during the long silence have had several children. Everything goes on at their house as usual with farmers. The husband is attentive, aud does his conversing with his wife through one of the children. For instauce, he will ask a child at the table, “ will your mother have some more meat ?” Or, at another time, “ is your mother going to town with me to-day ?” The family is wealthy, and belongs to the better class of Chautauqua farmers and respectable citizens.—Jamestown.

A telegram to the Richmond Dispatch from Washington, says that Akerman’s resignation of the position of United States District Attor ney for Georgia, has been accepted, and that he was to receive bis commission as Attorney Gen eral yesterday, though his duties will not com mence until August 1st. Immediately upon en tering upon his duties, he will begin the work of reorganizing the Attorney General’s office iuto the Department ol Justice. The Solicitor General, two Assistant Attorney Generals, a chief cleik, and several additional clerks will have to be appointed to perfect the organiza tion. The Solicitor’s Bureau of the Treasury, with the secret service divisioua, comes under the new department, together with all the cot ton and abandoned property, and claims ior cot ton and property, etc., before the Treasury De partment. All the sugar and tobacco cases, in ternal revenue seizures, penalty cases, etc., also come under this department, as well as the legal bnsiness of all the departments of tbe United States, District Attorneys, Marshals, etc, throughout the country. This means work fer Mr. Akermau in his position as a member oi the President's Cabi net ; more than has ever before been assigned to an Attorney General ol tbe Government. From what we know oi the gentlemau, and hi9 habits oi life, he will bring to it at least those com mendable qualities ot industry and business perseverance which seldom distinguish the class ot uieu upon whom such honors are conferred. A Lost Art In New Ensland. The New York Standard, a Republican paper, says that agriculture is a lost art in many parts ot New England^ The whole State ol Rhode Island is a succession of barretf, unsightly hills and huge chimney stacks.

New England is last becoming a copy of Old England; there is the same oppression oi factory operatives, the same hatred ot the Irish character, the same w ant ot a broad aud generous policy. —« « A Bad Year for tbe New York Merc hauls. Supervisor Dutcher, ol New York, reports some very interesting facts about the income tax. While the amount collected in his twelve districts (which Include New York and Brook lyn) for the year will be $6,718,250, about the same as last year, in some of the wealthier dis tricts there is a great falling off. A. T. Stewart does not return an income of one hundred thou sand dollars, while hundreds of houses show but small profile. Thousands of merchants swear to losses for the year. Mr. Dutcher says it has been a terrible year for merchants. In an article, which appeared in this paper a few days since, it was suggested that the Ceme tery be the location of the monument to be erected by the Atlanta Monument Association to the memory ol the Confederate dead, whose ashes now reposes in the burial ground of the city. It will be seen that the monument to be erected is a special and local monument—erect ed to the memoiy of the Confederate heroes, who are buried in the Cemetery, and erected by tbe Monumental Association of Atlanta. The idea of a general monument to the memory of the dead of the State did not lor once enter our mind when the question of the most eligible site for this monument came first to be agitated. In tbe remarks therefore which was unlimited a few days since concerning its location, of course the idea of a general monument was in no man ner alluded to, nor had we tbe lea9t intimation at tbat time that any such monument was en tertained by the ladies of the Association. From an editorial that appeared in the col umns of a city contemporary a few days since, it may be inferred that some members of the Association do entertain tbe idea that the monu ment is not confined to the Confederate dead in the city Cemetery, but is erected as a central monument to the dead of the State. Under these circumstances our opinion would un doubtedly change, as the city Cemetery would be decidedly inappropriate for the location of such a monument, with such a purpose. But it appears to us that such is not really the case. It is as we learn, a monument to tbe Conleder- ale dead in tbe Cemetery—some 5,000 or more in number—and erected not by sister Monumen tal Associations throughout the Stale, but by tbe Memorial Association ot Atlanta. We still think, tberetore, that the most appropriate and eligible situation ior tbe memorial granite shaft iB beside the graves of the heroes whose mem ory it is to embalm in our hearts, and whose virtues it is to perpetuate iu our lives. There has bet-n some tallt about the City Park being a proper place for the monument. Al though according to our view of the case, the Park will not do at all lor the purpose, it may nevertheless be said tbat this place will not be free from barrassing law suits for the next ten years, lor we are informed by the prosecuting attorney for r covery, that if the Mitchell heirs be defeated iu their present pending suit, they intend immediately to file another bill lor its recovery upon grounds different from those upon which the present one rests. We say, therefore, that the Park place is out of the question, if no action by the Legislature la taken in the pre mises. It the Legislature has the power to dis miss the suit now pending against the W. & A. Railroad, and then, on making a deed ot the Park to the city, enjoin ail parties Irom inter fering with its peacable possession, the Park under such circumstances might, with propriety, be suggested as an eligible site lor a Monument to the Georgia Confederate Dead. Under any circumstances, it would be inappropriate lor the location of the Monument lu the Confederate Dead, now lying iu the Atlanta Cemetery. Another place has also met with some favor, the City Hall lot. Indeed this would be an admirable spot for the monument, if one is ever to be erected, to the memory of Georgia’s dead. As tbe city holds a bona fide deed to the property, and as the present political complexion of the Council is encouraging, permission to erect one would probably be an easy matter. But the fact is, the Association of Atlanta do not con template such au enterprise. When our own people once more get possession of the govern ment, the Legislature, at the instance and peti tion of the noble women ot Georgia, will carve a monument from her granite hills and plant it in this great Phoenix metropolis,'to catch the first sweet blush of morn and the last fading flush ot eve, a silent and eternal monolith to the immortal braves whose names are writ upon “ —— the living sky To be forever read by every eye.” Mb.

Scarcely a week passes without exhibiting him in some new and unpleasant light He appears to be always in motion, and his activity is exercised in a most unscrupulous manner. He is a of talents, of information and ot labor. But he is utterly destitute of moral sense—and dining the moral sense that governs the msss ot man kind. He tramples recklessly upon all the con ventionalisms of society. It be bad one nark ot sensibility, he would cease to be dangerous, tor he might then be f l, * i f!l into a lemsla&ce of virtue. But no exposure brings tbe W"t h to bis callous lace. He defends his miad^f W ffh an audacity^that carries him through successfully, and knows so thoroughly “the ins and the oats?’ of all his political asMcfstse to be enabled to meet every charge against himself with one as dauugsing against every assailant. He is so quick-witted and has such fertility of Invention that he is always ready with a reason, an explanation and a jus tification, no matter what Is atiraed against him. His policy is to face down me enemies ana asuilants, and to defy the public. Nothing cows him. He knows that he would be ran over anu crushed if he gave bade an hurh. or showed any sense oi shame.
