Tousg Men’s Library Association.—We arc very much gratified to learn that the Com mittee on Lectures of this Association have sucreeded in perfecting arrangements with our able and learned townsman, Professor Ford, Sen., of the Medical College, to deliver before Ihe Society a eonrac of six lectures on “ Hu manity—Past, Present and Future,” provided a sufficient degree of interest is manifested by our citizens in this important and highly inter esting subject. The theme which has been se lected by the eloquent gentleman is one of vast range aud depth, embodying, as it does, much thought and valuable information. We are con vinced that the simple announcement of the name of Dr. Ford as the lecturer is a full as surance that the subject will be well and ably hnndled. A prospectus of the lectures, with terms of admission to the entire course or a single lecture, can be found at the Library Rooms, Messrs. Oates’ and Schreiner’s music stores, Dr. Wells’ drug store. The committee confidently believe that their efforts to advance the interests of so worthy and deserving an Association as the onfe they repre sent, and which has been of such incalculable benefit to many of our citizens, and at the same time afford an intellectual feast of far more than ordinary character, will be well aided by a generous response on the part of our people. Writing Proper Names.—ln writing proper names, says the Macon Telegraph, particularly for the press, great care should be taken to form each letter perfectly. An ordinary word -in be determined by the context; but no such fcuide is available iu the case of proper names, which are arbitrary, both in character and orthography. Hence the law bolds printers responsible only for words found in the dic tionary. Clerks, ordinaries and sheriffs should, therefore, in their advertisements, be particular in writing out names. Grbat Excitement in California.—We shonlii infer from our telegraphic dispatches that John Chinamau is fully roused to the ne cessity of having women about, him for domes tic felicity. It is Stated that emigrants from China always leave their wives at home, aud that out of three hundred thousand brought to California, not a single woman was among them They appreciate the benefits arising from woman’s presence, however, and are en gaged in fighting over them. If they would take wives from any other nation, there arc numbers in this country to spare. Patapsco GUANO.-We take pleasure in call lug attention to the advertisement of Messrs. Stovall & Edmomlston, the gentlemanly agents for that celebrated guano, the Patapsco. This fertilizer is said to possess more/Solublc phos phates than any offered in the market, and is made under the immediate supervision of Dr. <G. A. Liebig, the well known chemist. We cordially invite notice to the fact that the agents are receiving a large supply, and are ready to furnish our planters with it on liberal terms. London and Lancashire Life Insurance Company.—Messrs. J. Sibley & Sons have re signed the agency of the above named company, •and recommend Mr. William T. Williams, who has been appointed in their place. We join with them in tbeir recommendation of Mr. Williams, who is a gentleman of fine business qualities and will give perfect satisfaction to every one having dealings with him. Ihe company speaks for itself in one million pounds sterling. Tiie Weather lias again undergone a most remarkable change. We are entirely at a loss to conceive wbat it means or the cause foi its extraordinary behavior. Clear, cold and windy but twenty-four hours since, as we write It rains with a mildness equal to May. We give up the weather as a lost subject beyond out comprehension. Arrest.— The police made the following arrest on yesterday: J. C. Herngbton, (white), charged with having a mule in his possession belonging to John Carraway. Watch LOST.— Mr. M. I. Branch advertises a watch lost, on the 24th, between Schneider’s corner and No. 5 Warren Block, and offers re ward for same.

AN OLD MAN t>F EIGHTY YEARS TAKES A POP OR THO WITH HIN GRANDSONS AND SON-IN-LAW -SPIRITED FRACA.S-FIVE PERSONS WOUND ED. An old family feud came to a shooting focus last Monday at Abbeville, iu Lafayette county, Mississippi, about sixty miles from Memphis, ■which from the disparity of the parties engag ed and tbeir peculiar relations, rather takes tbe lead of all the shooting scrapes we have had the mournful pleasure of recording in many years. There is something so incredible and solemnly ludicrous in an old man with wintry hair, and t'ttle o r it, turning back from the open grave to have a deadly conflict with his grand children, that wa would not tell such a story without the most satisfactory evidence of the fact. But yesterday we met a prominent citizen from Mississippi who gave us the following authentic % lTt Monday one John Clarke, aged eighty, of Lafavette county, Mississippi, and hi* son, a S v«« and family, had a difficulty at Abbeville wUh Mr. W.u. Wimberly and Wim berly’* twa sons, both young men. Now, Wimberly senior, is the son-in-law of Clarke, senior; hence the young grandsons of old Mr Clarke. The ineM they had was the resnlt ol an old family cud,••“g has been on h»nd many years, but the bistoiy of it we are unable to giye. They met lo town, perhaps by chance, per chance by a concerted plan ; any way they na t, they skirmished, they flourished revolvers and bowie knives, fired several shots at each other, and slashed vigorously with their knives. It is to be regretted that the spectators interfered before any work was made for the coroner. When the smoke of battle flea red away, it was ascertained that there wns killed, none; wound ed, five. Every ooe engaged wa« Old Grandfather Clarke received a shot in the head that might have killed * young man, but he will probably recover and live yet to kill bis man. His aflectiouate son-in-law, old man Wimberly, was well shot in the neck ; he also pay recover. The thre§ young men, Clarke versus his nephews, the two Wimberly®, were sliced and backed with the knives, but not dangerously. It is said that they all intend to recover as soon as convenient and finish tbe battle. The Clarke family became famous in the line of tragedy many years ago. Not long before the war old man Clarke had two sons, John and William, killed by a neighbor named Thomason, and his two sons. Tbe peculiar feature of that tragedy was that one of the Clarkes hilled was Thomason’s son-in-law. In the fracas Thoma son was beaten nearly to death, but his sons came to bis relief and the two Clarkes were shot down like beeves. Tbe. Thomasons fled to Arkansas and never returned to Mississippi. This makes a family history, when all put together, that is without parallel. Match it. Competition Between Ocean Steamers. —The City of Paris, of the Inman line, left her dock at 15 minutes before 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon, and sped her course beautifully down the bay, passing the Russia, of the Cu nard line, which had just taken on board the mails, and which followed in 45 minutes after wards. The speed of both these vessels across the Atlantic will be looked for with great irter est, as great rivalry exists between the different English steampship companies to secure tbe subsidy, which the Canard line has hitherto ob tained for transporting tbe English mails to this country. Should the City of Paris beat her rival in this trip there will be no little com motion in the lobby ot the House of Com mons, as*the subsidy may be transferred in consequence to the Inman line. Whcu the City of Paris beat the Cuba about a year ago. it was urged by the (Junard Company that tbe race was not a lair test, as the Cuba was the slowest mail steamer on the one side, while the City of Paris was the fastest on the other. But no such objection can be made now, for the Russia is considered among the '* crack ” ves sels of the Cunard line. There is considerable betting on the result, the odds being slightly in favor of the City of Paris. [New York Herald, of Thutsday. “The arrangements of nature are admira ble!” exclaimed a young lady during the late high winds. “ The same wind that disarranges onr crinolines blows dust into the eyes of the wicked young men who would take advantage of our confusion.” Truly a philosophical youug lady, that.

Dear Sirs: In response to your inquiries in regard to my experience in tbe use of “Whanu’s Raw Bone Superphosphate of Lime,” I would state that iu tho year 1867 1 planted in Barnwell district, South Carolina, and used tHree tons of Whanu’s Phosphate with very satisfactory results. I used, at the same time, on land alongside, Pure Peruvian Guano; both yielded well. It would be hard to say which did the best. Other Phosphates of high char acter were used by my neighbors, but l am satisfied that none of them produced as good crops from the use of them as I did from tbe use of Whann’s. W. M. Dunbar.

CLAGHORN, Herring 4 Cos., 7 Warren Block, Augusta, and Accommodation Wharf, Charleston, S. C. teb2l-lm To the General Assembly of Georgia. Upon reaching home from a trip North, I find pending before your body a bill to donate to the heirs of Samuel Mitchell a large and val uable portion ot the Slate's property in the centre of Atlanta. As tbe bill is so far advanced, I have not time to communicate with you on the subject through the usual channels, aud hope, there fore, you will pardon any apparent irregularity iu thus addressing myself directly to you. I am informed by counsel that the State lias a gooll title to tbe property in question. This queMion should be submitted to the courts. T* State’s interest should not be sacrificed bv the donation of this property to the heirs of Mitchell. Mitchell donated to the State of Georgia the land now occupied by the Western and Atlantic Railroad, In the city of Atlanta, for its passen ger depot, and tracks leading thereto. This was in the early history of Atlanta, when real estate was of but little valne. Mitchell owned a considerable body of land adjoining those donated to the State, which was tapidly enhanced in value by the acceptance of the State of the gift, and the completion of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, the Macon and Western (then the Monroe Railroad), and the Georgia Railroad (since completed), all making their termini at that point. A large portion of what is now embraced, in Decatur. Marietta, Whitehall, Alabama, Pryor, Lloyd, Forsyth and Broad streets, the present City Hall, and chnrch sites, was owned by Mitchell, and was thus rendered of great value" to the owner. Messrs. Cane <fc Williams, who then owned the land now occupied by the shops of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, tendered to the State land for its passenger depot and tracks, well aware it could not fail to prove highly re- munerative to them. The embankment near the Mineral Spring was constructed with a view to the connection ofthe Macon and Western Railroad with the Western and Atlantic Railroad at, the proposed termini on the lands of Cone A Williams. Mitchell’s lands were, however, finally select ed as the terminus, and if he was not lagrely benefitted thereby, it certainly cannot be at tributed to any want of opportunity on his part. That portion of the original five acees donat ed by Mitchell, lying between the passenger depot-, Pryor and Alabama streets, has been exchanged wiLh th-: Macon aud Western Rail road for the grounds now occupied by The offices and shops ot the Western and Atlantic Railroad. The donation of tbe Park to the heirs of Mitchell, will endanger the titles of the State to the whole five acres. The grounds now occupied by the Western and Atlantic Railroad in Atlanta are entirely too small for its wants. Cramped for space on all sides, Us business pressed within a compass that renders it ex pensive to the road and inconvenient to the public, to transact its business, all demand that its bound »ries be extended rather than curtailed. Tbe great railway interest centering at this point, renders it absolutely ueces6ary that the Union passeuger depot be rebuilt at an early day; iu fact, it is contemplated to build it tbe present year. The roads now completed, and those being built, will necessitate the building ot a depot on a much larger scale than tbe one destroyed, especially when it is considered that at its pres ent rate of increase, but a tew years will elapse before Atlanta will contain a population larger than that of any interior city in the cotton States. The erection of a passenger depot of the dimensions required will necessarily encroach largely upon the area embraced in what is "known as the Railroad Park. Its cession will necessarily compel the pur chase by the road of a sight elsewhere, there by involving a large expenditure which the retention of the property in question will obviate. By an act of the Legislature in 1859, the city of Atlanta was. authorized “ to take pos session of the property for the purpose of beautifying and ornamenting the same, till it should he required for railroad purposes.” The time contemplated in the law, having arrived, I beg leave to respectfully call tbe attention of your honorable bodies to the law as it now stands, and if deemed necessary that it he repealed, that early action be taken in the matter, in order that the interests ot tlic people of Georgia may be protected in the great work that all its tax payers eon triboted to build, aud who are alike deeply interested in its protection and proper man agement. E. Hulbbrt, Sup. W. A A. R. R. Atlanta, February 20, 1869. [Prom the Atlanta Constitution. Statement of ex-Mayor Williams, in Regard to tbe Proposition of the Oit.y Council to the Constitutional Convention, and also the Contract with the Legislature, and with E. N. Kimball, Hon. J. J. Whitaker, Editor of the Intelligencer. Dear Sir: The editorial in your edition of the 21st, under the head of “ State Capital,” cloging with the following paragraphs, aston ished m3. Yon say, “ We know ans feel that nothing short of a lull and complete compliance gq the part of the city will satisfy the citizens of Atlanta and the State. There is no use talking of delay in this matter, action is the word.” As J. was Mayor of the city of Atlanta at the time the proposition was made by City Council to the Constitutional Convention that the con tract with the Legislature, in reference to the removal of the capital, I deem It proper to malfe tjie l.ojjpsyiug statement -. Tbe proposition to [.he pjty Council reads as follows: “ Resolved, That in consideration of the lo cation of said Capitol as proposed by said con vention, the City Council of Atlanta do hereby agree, covenant and bind the city of Atlanta, free ot cost to the State, to furnish, for the space of ten years, if needed, suitable buildings for the General Assembly, for the residence of the (jOiveppop, and for ali the offices needed by such sip located in the State House, and a|sd suitable fpwips fpr the State Library and for tbe Bupreme Coart.’* The City Council did not contemplate pur chasing new and expensive furniture to fit up a temporary Capitol, but of course expected that tbe furniture, Ac., of the old Capitol at Mil ledgeville would bp usefl here as well as there. When the contract was mafic jyith }lr. JC N. Kimball, by the City Council, for the •• Opera” building to be pompletefi in accordance witli certain plans and specifications—which plans and specifications were submitted to (bp Asgera bly and accepted—the furniture had been brought from the old Capitol, and was not at this time being used by the Assembly; also, tbe new and costly chandeliers and gas fixtures that had been purchased for the old Capitol. The Slate having all these things, could It have been expected by them that the city should go to heavy efcpgpse [o purchase and furnish new furniture, &c.; merely fqr iepjporgry use ? As to the heating of the building, jybiie it ip not specified in tbe contract, I will state that Mr. Kimball was asked by Mr. Kawson, in Council, at the time the specifications were agreed upon, how bp proposed to arrange for the heating of tbe building ? fie replied: “ with steam,” and on being interrogated fur ther. be stated* that it would be heated with a register, and op the jatest and most improved plan. The terms of rental were at thqt time agreed upon—six thousand ($6,060) dollars per annum, and exemption from city taxes. The City Council never would have consented to pay fifteen or twenty thousand dollars for fix tures in the property of/itbers merely for tem porary use. Now, bow yop or any other fair-minded citi zen can presume to hold tbe city of Atlanta bound to the State for any thing more than she has already done, I car.’t conoeive. I wish to call the atiAption of tbe public to tbe fact that Mr. E. N. Kimball is tffe contracting warty with the City Council, while Mr. H. I■ Jurnbill. a man Dot known in the contract, is the mao who testifies before the special committee of the {.eg;filature. J- E. 'William*. {From the Atlanta Intelligencer, 24th.

The Senate occupied most of the morning session in discussing the Mitchell claim for ihe City Park. Parties in favor of the bill claim that it is not now used for the purposes for which it was intended by the railroad, aud has not been used as sur b since 1859. Pending the discussion, the Senate adjourned. Tae report of the Railroad Committee on the Western aud Atlantic Railroad is voluminous. Five huflArsd copies were ordered printed. In tho Senate, the general impression is that tbe report is uot abusive of any official, but com mendatory, however, ot the late Superintendent, C.
