Plan aud Propositions TO THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF TBE CITY OF ATLANTA K»»u 1 IIK CONSTRUCTION OF WORKS TO FORM If Hit CITY WITH W\TER BY THE “ ATUJ-Ta CaNaL AMD WATER COMPANY.” The “ Alania Canal & Water Company ” propose to construct works capable of furnish ing the City ol Atl&n'a with an abundant sup ply of pure water, with plana by which the amount can !>e increased it required. The res ervoir, wi.b a capacity ol over $4 000.000 gal lons, will have sufficient elevation to raise water at the paas<-ug' r depot to the height ot sixty to eighty feel above tbe r-iilroad track. The water supply proposed is intended lor domestic pur poses and public use. Pure water is demanded in the center ol the city—where, according to analysis recently made, the water of wells is contaminated lo a degree that sanitary conside rations forbid its use tor drinking purposes. For public consumption iu the fire department, wa tering tlie streets and sewerage, there isastrong desire tor a supply on the part of citizens gc-ne- atly. The pian ot works by this company has been considered with an eye to the importance of an al uudaut present aud prospective supply. From staiulical accouuts ol water works where most ol the inbahil&uts are furnished for pri vate use, about 40 gadou.- per Capita make Ibe lull average lor a day, lu Europe wfeie the use of such supply is more geueral. the average amount per day lor each inhabitant is said to be not above thirty gall.ua. These estimates in clude the amounts furnished tor private «ud public consumption. In view ot these tacts the supply contemplated by the Company to a city like Atlanta, haft ot whose inhabitants are sup plied tor domestic purposes with the beat ot well water, will be la-youd doubt abundant, even with the prospective increase ot popula tion and demand The plan of construction and items ol cost arc as fellows : At a point on Utoy creek, selected tor the source gt supply, the stream is ol sufficient siz-, as found (rout actual ineasin. merit, to afioru an abundant supp y ol puie water. A site has beru seb tied fer pumping works, aud the eoliuiH’es maJe for real estate, two pumps aud Lhii cts, and placing them in posiiiou aud constiuciiou ol ciaern is $9,00b. Three miles ol sti>>ug nine inch pipe (casl-irou) tor pumping water lrorn the source to reservoir, at the prices ot reliable uianu a.-tnrers, and laying the same n.ake the sum ol $117,795 The si'e tor reset voir on Wa'kt'i street, and grading, mason ry, etc , in its construction, is estimated at $13,- 000 For one mile of 12 inch cast iron pipe lor acqueduct from reservoir to centre ot town, and laying the same the estimate is $10,380. One mile ol 10 inch cast-iioa pipe, and laying it, lor distributing mains, will cost $10,990. These items of cost make tue aggregate amount of $77,500. In the above there is no estimate lor small wa ter pipes, fireplugs hydranis, meters, etc , lor con sumers, as these are somelims considered iu lh<- contractloi water rents, aud are required only m proportion to the amount ol water used, For these and the possible increase in the size ol pipes, pumps and boilers that may be found necessary, $15,000 should be added to the above aggregate amount, making $92,500. The above plan and estimates wonld have been presented with the approval ot au experi enced hydraulic engineer, but ior the suppose tion that the Council would pefer to have a voice in the selection of such expert. In view ot the pressing demand tor water supply, the shortness ot the time allowed lor accomplishing the work the present year, aud the fact that the company cau proceed no lur- ther until arrangements are made with the city authorities, it is thought advisable to present varied propositions, so as to meet the views of council with the lea6t possible delay. The Company prouose, first, to build water works at their own expense, without the ex penditure ot a dollar by the city in the construe tiOD, lor the purpose of lurniehing the City of Atlanta with the quantity of water required, even to the lull amount specified in the fore going estimates for reservoir if necessary, at a reasonable price to the consumer, compared with o’her cities thus supplied ; tbe amount, places ot delivery, rates and terms of water rents &c., tor the public supply, to be fixed by contract between the Company and City Gov ernment, as soon as practicable after this propo sition is accepted ; also, such other arrange ments between the parties as may be necessary to protect private consumers against unjust and extortionary discriminations. If the above proposition be not satisfactory to Council, the Company propose, secondly, to build the works by means raised on their own obligations, with the endorsement ot the City, instead ot funds obtained as contemplated in the first proposition, and in consideration of this, the payment ot two thirds ot the water rent lor public consumption, that may accrue lor the first two years ol the supply, shall be postponed lo the end ot that time. To indemnity the City against the possibility of loss from lailure of tbe Company to pay the interest or principle of said debt when due, all real estate, material for work, and all other property ot said Company, shall he pledged by mortgage to the city, as they come into possession ot the Company. In all other ie specie this is intended to contain the provisions of the first proposition. The third proposition is that the city take stock in the Company to the amount ot thirty to forty thousand dollars, to be paid in as re quired of other stock holders for construction ot the works. The city’s dividends ot profits in the Company, to be applied, as lar as they may go, in the payment ot water rent lor public con sumption ; the balance to be paid iu cash as provided tor iu proposition the first. Ia all other respects this lo contain the provisions of the preceding propositions. By order of the Board of Directors. J G. Westmoreland, President. James Adkins. Secretary.

Mr. Fulhris not only an able and eU qmut divine, but a true and polished gentle man both by birth and education. He has had charge ol the First Baptist Church about two years, aud during that lime, has made numerous iricuds aud admirers throughout eveiy portion ot Ailauta. We leel that we are speaking the sentiments of the entire community when we say that his resignation will be deeply regretted Mr. Fuller resigns on account of ill health, baviug been (we fearu) advised by his physi ciau that further active efforts in the ministry would entirely destroy his health. We beg leave to tender him our heat wishes tor his future welfare. Premium List of the Georgia State Ag ricultural Society.—We are authorized to tiate that a very short time remains ior persons lo get their advertisements in the premium list ql the Georgia State Agricultural Society. Tbe will be widely and extensively circulated |p the United Stales, and offer inducements to (he advertising public; Miscegenation.—Eveline Winn, a white wo man, and Nelson Goldsmith, colored, wete ar rested and carried before Justice B. D. Smith, yesterday, charged with living together as mau and wife. The evidence showed that the wo- mau was a very abandoned creature, aud was teally guilty of the offense, likewise was her colored paramour louud guilty. His Honor sentenced the mau to pay a fine of ten dollars aud cost,and the woman to pay a fine of five dollars and cost, or work several months iu the chain gaug. Where they Boahded.—A tremendous crowd of “ 15th commandments” came up last week from Augusta to this city on au excursion. During their stay they stioiled about in gangs all over the city aud suirounding country, and slept at night.no body knows where. We do know, however, thala number of them boarded, stayed, dwelt or sojourned, in the calaboose; but we presume that they paid trues and cost enough into the city treasury to more than cover the rations (if they got auj ) that the keepers of the guard house luruiahed. Yesterday in-'ruing they started homeward, ami Atlanta said “ good riddance ol bad rubbish.” S-T-ISfiO- X., however, like the initials on the old Roman hauners, has a meaning. It repre sents Saint Croix—ST. being the convential equivalent of Saint, aud I 860 standing for the letters C-R-O-I, and so torinimr with the con cluding X. the word Croix. By placing the trade maik and the name of the island iu jux taposition, with the figures over the letters they are iuteodtd to denote, the explanation will he understood : S. T. 1860. X. S T CRUI X. Nothing can be more simple, or “it may be- more appropriate. St Croix Rum is the sttmu, lating basis of the Plantation Bitters, and it is, therefore, “ in accordance with the fitness ot things,” that St. Croix should be the basis of their business shibboleth. The new food prepared from Sea Moss Farine is meeting with wonderful success ; and well it may, tor a more delightful dessert fer the table can not be imagined. julyl2-lw Plantation Bitters as an Appetizer.— Want ot appetite is a sure sign that the stomach Is out of order. AH persons in perfect health relish their food, aud it maybe regaided as a rule to which there are uo exceptions, that indi viduals who are never hungry can not be en tirely well. To eat without enjoyment is a pen ance, and sustenance taken into the stomach against the inclination does not nourish the sys tem as it ought to do. The best-known remedy for a distaste or disinclination lor food is Plan tation Bitters. A wine-glasslul taken hall an hour before breakfast, dinner, or supper, quick ens the flow ot the gastric juice, and thereby provokes hunger—tor the palate sympathizes with the stomaeb. Nor can the appetite thus created be called a false appetite, for it is the le gitimate consequence of a new energy imparted to the digestive orgaus by this whoit*ome med icated stimulant. “ Sea Moss Farine will prove a great bless ing to the poor. It ia so cheap that it ia within the reach of all. .It is by far tbe most nutritious and delighttul preparation that it has ever come to our notice.”— Observer. je30-lw.

Mr. Harris moved that the message from the House received on yesterday, be taken up and concurred iu. Carried. The following is a copy ot the message re ferred to: Atlanta, July 6, 1870 To the Provisional Legislature: The same reasons which made it advisable to enier upon legislation at the time of your last adjournment still exist; bat, within the last few days the House of Representatives of the United States Congress has adopted a bill for the admission of Georgia, by the terms ot which your organization is expressly recognized as “ legal,” and your legislative action, in adopting the conditions required by the several recon struction acts, is approved. This bill, it is be lieved, will be concurred in by the Senate within a few days. Pending such action, by the Senate, I would respectfully recommend that you take a recess until the 15th instant, or occupy the interim in the consideration of such resolutions as may be presented. Rufus B. Bullock. Mr. Candler—A resolution that this General Assembly now adjourn sine die. The yeas and nays being demanded, the vote stood yeas 7 ; nays 19 Motion to adjourn lost. Mr. Harris moved, in order to allow tbe Sen ate time to reflect upon the adoption of the sug gestion contained in the message ot the Gover nor, that the Senate now adjourn until Monday morning, at 12 M. Mr. Candler desired to know if it was in or der to introduce a bill aDd proceed with general legislation. The Chair decided the motion to adjourn in order, when Mr. Caudler proceeded to oppose the motion to adjourn till Monday—saying if there was any definite object iu view to be gained, it might be well enough, to meet again on Monday. If not, and the only object of this recess was simply that Senators might be paid, then he had advocated their going home until they could proceed with necessary legislation. Mr. Speer thought it might be doing God and the country service for tbe Senate to stay here aDd introduce a measure in order to have Geor gia represented in Congress, and desired the members to be selected from this Senate. Mr. Wootten advocated the right and power of the Legislature to proceed with general legis lation, which was badly needed; but il a ma jority ot the Senate thought they could not leg islate, then their plain duty to the country was to adjourn until the final settlement of the Georgia question by Congress, and to stop the expense to tbe people ot Georgia, who were growing indignant at the action of the General Assembly in meeting ana squandering the pub lic money without doing any good whatever. Mr. Campbell insisted that the cry of the ob jections of the tax payers be hushed; that of his own knowledge from the mouths ot tax payers, he knew that the action of the Assem bly was endorsed by the tax payers of his dis trict. Mr. Harris proceeded to state that caution and prudence should mark the course of the Assembly, and lor that purpose a recess was necessary. He was tired of hearing the course adopted by his party denounced on the part of certain members of this body, as if on them alone depended the weal ot the dear peuple; he advocated an adjournment, but was in favor, in either event, whether the tate of the Georgia bill was settled at this session of Congress or not, of proceeding with geueral legislation. Mr. Speer offered an amendment that during the recess no member receive bis per diem. Mr. Smith, ot the 7th, favored the motion to adjourn till Monday.

The House met at 12 o’clock, M., pursuant to adjournment, aud was called to order by the Speaker. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Felder. On motion of Mr. Darnell the calling of the roll was dispensed with. The Clerk read tbe Journal ot yesterday’s proceedings. Mr. Darnell offered a resolution amending the 17th rule, so as to make it read “ majority ” in stead of two thirds; also, changing the 19th rule so as to read “ Cushing’s Manual,” instead of Jefferson’s. These resolutions went over under the rules. Mr. Tweedy, from the committee appointed to wait on the Governor, reported that Governor Bullock would communicate with the General Assembly to day, in writing. On motion of Mr. Darnell, the Governor’s communication was read. The communication of the Governor is the same aa reported in the Senate proceedings abeve. Mr. Scott asked to know who Rufus B. Bul lock was, as there was no official signature to the communication. Mr. Scott also moved to lav the Governor's communication on the table. Lost. Messrs. McDougal and Tate were granted leaves ot absence on account of sickness in their families. Mr. Page was also granted leave of absence. Mr. Duncan, of Houston, moved to adjourn until Monday next at 12, M. The yeas and nays were called, which molted in yeas 56, nays 48. So the House stands adjourned until 12, M, July 11. Mr. Harris avowed his determination to pro ceed with general legislation, whatever may be tbe fete of the Georgia question. Mr. Candler thought that this act could not be legally continued unless followed out by tbe plain rule of the law, which would be an intro duction by the other House a bill and carried through the regular channel. On tbe vote being taken on the Harris resolu tion it was adopted. Yeas 22, nays 10. Leave ot absence was granted u> Messrs. McWhorter, Bruton. Hnngertord and Brock. Mr. Iiarris—llesolrxni.

Laid on the table until to-morrow morning, and & copy transmitted to the House.

Mr Hall moved to suspend the rules, which motion was put and sustained upon the call of the yeas and nays. A motion was made by Mr. Lane to lay the resolution on the table, which motion was lost. Mr. Felder remarked that there was a consti tutional provisional declaring that the educa tional lund should uot be used tor any other pur - pose. Mr. H&ll, of Merriwether, said that he was not clear as to the said provision, but he kuew that there was no money and a want ol funds. Mr. Rice stated that there was no immediate demand for this money, and that there were reports oi certain committees which would clear up the matter ot loaning money at a low rate per cent., &c. Mr. Bethune advocated the resolution, saying that the money could be returned to the fund. Mr. Porter, colored, differed from Mr. Be thune, and hoped that the money in question would not be touched for other purposes. Mr. Duncan stroke in favor ot the resolution, and Mr. Lane, of Brooks, was opposed to any hasty action in financial matters, and was op posed to adopting the resolution, and would prefer that it should be referred to a committee. Mr. Lee, ot Newton, said that the State need ed money and had some tor schools, but had no schools; he moved to postpone the considera tion of the question until to-morrow. Mr. Scott read two clauses trom the Constitu tion in reference to the poll tax, tax on shows, liquors, &c. A message trom the Senate was received, an nouncing that the General Appropriation Act was continued by that body, in which they asked tbe concurrence of the House. Mr. Scott said that the poll tax was levied for educational purposes, and cannot be used for any other purposes; also, that there was a great cry throughout the State for the application of this very tund for the education ot the youth of this State. Mr. Duncan stated that the object of the resolution was only to borrow the money from the Educational Fund, and if the State used it, she is liable for its repayment, that it was a question of economy. Mr. Duncan of the con clusion of his remarks called the previous question. The motion to put the resolution ofi until to morrow wsa lost. A resolution ot indefinite postponement pre vailed. A motion was made and carried to take up the Senate resolution. The question was put and a call made for the yeas and nays, which resulted in yeas 57, nays 48. So the resolution was adopted.

For the past week there has been a regular war in St. Clair County, Alabama, near the line of the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad, which has been characterized by all the accom- painments of civilized warfare, pickets, skir mishes, general engagements, a siege with regu lar approaches, ending yesterday iu the surren der of the besieged parties. To obtain a lull understanding of the situation it will be neces sary to go back to *61, at which time the Spring- field boys went into the the Confederate army. While there, some one killed their father, taking him out and hanging him until nearly dead, and then shooting him. As soon as they heard of this they deserted from the army, went home, and went into the bushwhacking busi ness. in which they continued until they had killed all who took any part In the mnrder of their father. Afterwards we are informed that they joined the federal army, and after the war turned up as strong radical members of tbe League, ardent friends of the African and all that. Last winter, in Ashville, a negro was whipped for some offense by a white man, and the sheriff of the county, a Mr. Brown, stood by and en couraged it. One of the Springnelds was there and made some objections, and a lively fight was commenced, which resulted iu some blood shed. Since that time a feud has existed be tween the Springfield’s and the sheriff and bis friends. Last week open hostilities were resumed from some cause, which we are not able to learn, and both parties organized, thew out picket lines and occupied the country road, challenging every man that passed. The force ot the Sheriff outnumbered the Springfield’s and on Friday night they sought rescue iu a house near Asheville. The Sheriff 4ben went over the county, got out a warrant for them, and summoned a large posse to arrest them. The Sheriff with his posse surrounded the bouse at night and commenced digging reg ular approaches, bringing his force up so near the house that they perfectly riddled it with bul lets, and on yesterday morning compelled tbe surrender ot the garrison. We did not learn the terms of the surrender. The facts above given we obtained from an eye-witness of a part of the fighting, who de sired us not to mention his name, as he was ob liged to five in that countiy, and it would be dangerous tor him to do so, if he was responsi ble for the story. We do not know that his statements are correct beyond his description of hts own experience, but presume they aie. It is a very difficult matter to obtain exact informa tion concerning this terrible state of affairs, which is so disgraceful to Alabama, and we would feel greatly obliged to any ot our subscri bers in that section, if they would send us some authentic information in regard to it. The Lion Loose.—We learn trom a private dispatch from Huntingdon, the particulars of an exciting scene there yesterday. CoL Ames’ cir cus showed there in the afternoon, and in the morning there was a grand parade through the streets. The royal Nubian lion, an animal of great size, which is carried chained to the top of one of the cages, attended by his keeper on tbe occasion of these streets displays, exhibited signs of anger while being led to his cage after the procession had returned. At an unexpected moment, and when the keeper was ofi his guard, tbe huge beast sprang upon him and bore him to the ground with frightful force, seizing him by the shoulder sad arm. The scene with its attendant excitement, may tie imagined. Al most instantly several of the bjslandeis rushed up, aud seeing that prompt action was neces sary, drew their revolvers and shot the huge beast dead.

As is known, the Battery, Artesian Well, and other city property iu Charleston, levied upon by Sheriff Mackey, by virtue ol an execution iu the case of the executors oi Geo. Gibbon vs. the City Council, was advertised to be sold on yes terday. On Friday, at Columbia, before Associate Justice Williard, City Attorney Corbin, in be- halt ot tbe City Council, moved that the injunc tion heretoiore granted by Judge Williard re straining S lent! Msckey lrom selling the afore said pioperty be continued iu force. The exec utors were represented by Messrs. Phillips and CatnpbelL Alter arguments from the counsel on both sides, Messrs. Phillips and Campbell agreed to withdraw tbe levy, but announced that, although they would not insist upon tbe sale ot the property at the time advertised, they would herealler renew the levy. Major Corbin then withdrew his motion to continue the in junction. Poor Charleston, she is under a cloud, a black cloud, as is, indeed, all ot South Carolina I It makes us feel that there is too little ot charity, too little ot justice extended to the gallant peo ple of that proud old commonwealth—her Hamptons, Butlers, aud others, who bore them selves so nobly in defense ot the “ Lost Cause,” and who have suffered bo much from the resultB ol that trying conflict—wheu we see censure passed upon them, lor the effort they are uow making, to redeem the Htate lrom the misrule which has bankrupted Charleston, and threat ens to bankrupt the whole 3tate. For our own part, we wish tnem success. Unlike Georgia, the negro population of South Carolina is large ly in the majority over the whites, and the effort being now made in that State by the Conserva tive party, through a combination with the mod erate blacks, to rescue tbe State from the mis rule that has brought It to the very verge ol bankruptcy, is a commendable one, dictated by the loftiest patriotism, and participated in by as true and honorable men as ever drew sword or shed blood in the Confederate cause. W e bid them God speed in the course they are now pursuing to save the State. H. iT Kimball. We not only, with great pleasure, transfer to our columns elsewhere, the “ personal ” of the Atlanta Era, but heartily endorse the comments ot the Intelligence!! appended thereto. Any man that comes to this State, be his political preferences what they may, and manifests the same disposition to advance the welfare of Georgia that H. L Kimball has shown, we shall bid him God speed, despite the sore heads and ninnies that may question the motives prompt ing us. We clip the foregoing trom a late number of the Rome Southerner & Commercial. From all accounts which reach us, we are gratified to learu, that it that city does not possess a Kim ball to assist in pushing forward its material interests, it is far lrom lacking men of enter prise in its midst to do so. Rome, since the war, has grown aud prospered. It has become a live city—second only to Atlanta, in the State, in the progress it has made, and is destined to become a city of great commercial importance, while its attractions otherwise-its beauty, health, the intelligence and euterprise of its citizens—will make it one of the most attract ive of all the interior cities of the State. It has reached a point now, where he must be blind indeed who cannot see what we predict of its future is not the prediction ot a false prophet. ^ The Georgia Bill. To-day, says the Washington correspondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal ou the 8th instaut, “ the vexed condition of the Georgia question, which has been pending ever since the first day of the session, and which, it was thought, would fail of solution, was disposed ol by the Senate by a reference to a conference committee, which insures the passage of some kind of a bill. No less than tour different bills have passed one house or the other, on the admission of Georgia, since December 6th, 1869. This and the funding and tax and appor tionment bill are the only remaining important bills to he acted on.” Our Washington advices lead us to a different conclusion from that arrived at by the corres pondent ol the Courier Journal. We are not as sure as he is that the reference which has been made of the Georgia Bill to a con ference committee, insures the passage of “some kind of a bill ” this session. We rather incline to the opinion that the contrary of this will turn out to be true—that the conference committee will disagree, and that consequently Georgia “ will he left out in the cold ” for yet a season longer. But certainty will so soon take the place now of speculation, that it ia almost idle to indulge in the latter. -* •- STATE items.

The following discussion illustrates the tax sale bill which passed to-day: Trumbull called the bill to confirm the title ot the purchasers to the lands sold for taxes lu the late insurrection States. Bayard opposed the bill. He said it confirmed sales which had been attended with grossest ir regularities and conditions imposed upon the original answer. Mr. Trumbull said a man who neglected to pay his taxes deserved to pay costs belore he cou'd recover hia property. Mr. C&8serly said the bill was designed to make a void sale for taxes a valid one, and Im pose conditions of reoovery that were extraor dinary, unheard ot, and in his judgment was illegal. Bayard moved to strike out the clause requir ing the payment of costs and penalties by tbe original owner before receiving back bis land, which was rejected. Bayard moved to amend by saying that the bill shail only be of effect where sales were made according to law. He knew that in some of these sales the costs had been filed up without regard to law. The amendment was rejected and the bill then Mrs. Lincoln’s pension was postponed. The appropriation bill was resumed. The Charleston Custom House gets three hundred thousand dollars.
