This Brat reunion of th* war-worn veterans of the gallut Third Georgia, it is to be hoped, will stir up other organi sations to a similar movement. Death is fast diminishing th* ranks of these old veterans, and no time should be lost in gathering up the memorial* of their army life and services. To the oitixens of Union Point, for their antiring efforts ud generous boopitality, great oredit is dne, and their noble example should lead other places to tender a like generous hospital ity to snob veteran soldiers as may desire to hold reunions. For ourself, we tender our warmest thank* to Col. J, B. Hart, Judge L. D. Carlton ud B. G. Carlton, Esqs., for their extreme kindness to ns during onr stay at Union Point. No efforts were spared by them to make ns ud our associates, Oglesby, of th* Con- etitutionalitt, ud Btephenaon, of the Chronicle nnd Sentinel, feel perfectly at home.

Hawthoxh, DxKalx Couxtt, ' July 80, 1874. / Editor Columbus Enquirer .-—As per aaption you will peroeive that I have left th* Hub of Georgia tor other lauds, but not for the mountains of Heapidam, where the lion roareth and the whang doodle mourneth ; but for the hills of Hawthorn, where the owl hoottelh, the whipporwill wailetb, the frog croaketh, ud for what I ounot tell, except it be for their own amusement. Binoe my last many things have trans pired that might be worthy of notioe. This would trespaaa upon your columns and my patienoe; henoe, aa my grud< mother used to do in making minoe-pie, gather up all odda and end* and mix them well together, ud If the pi* did nc^i coat why none need eat it j so of this coHmu. nioatios—none need read if it dose not ■nit them. As to the Hob (Atlanta), times are bard ud work searoe. 1 doubt if the laboring olaaa baa ever experienced such a year as this has been ao far daring thsir lives. Atlanta has always been an enigma to me: so muob to do and so many idle; so muob building, ud snob little prospeot for making money to build with. I in going the rounds of the oity, ground being broken tor several seemingly large house*. Iudeed, all over tb* city im provements are being made—rather in the econotliioal order, perhaps, for rent ing—but where ar* the tenuta to come from, ud for what are they ooming here? For if it had not been for the blaokberry crop (whioh was fine—the cbinquepin crop is equally fine) muy mast have suf fered here for bread—yes, for bread— whilst Diok Peters' street oar bells tinkle merrily through the streets, singing “Niokell” ud Joe Brown sits on bis cushioned seat in the Second Baptist church, oblivious to all exoept to that whioh adds to their own private purses. I think times may soon obuge here, Aladdin has been here (H. L Kimball), and those precious few seedy money- mongers have come ont iu a card inviting him to make Atlanta his home. What revolution a few months has wrought ? I see amongst the names inviting him baok her* to make this hia home mu that were loud in denunciation of him. But of suoh ia life; Thrift goes by fawning, kou need not b* surprised to see H. L Kimball's name mentioned in connection with the gubernatorial robes. Then will th* Atlanta tavans, aa good Musaalmen, prostrate themselves before him ud say s “Greet is Moloch." Politic* hate eenomeaeed looming up, though I do not think that w* will have muob excitement in this Distriet, the nth, aa the freedman haa lost cute with his party (th* Bepnblicua), henoe there will be but littlejstruggle, exoept the henoh- men, ud they ar* broken down in their loins in conoeqnence of the heavy blow given them by the Prince of Idaho (Sam Bard.) I opine it will take them some time to recuperate, u they have no loyal leagues and each like machinery to keep them in place ud power. Whilst upon politic* I might u well an swer an anonymous oomepondant from Louisville, Ky. He, as Bill Arp would uy, writes thusly: “Bob, art thou a prophet f Thou didst writ* ten months ago, and it wu pub lished In the Columbus Bxqumaa, that G. A G. would be P. A V. P. in 1878.

Nxw Yoxx, Augut 8.—Judge Bilsy said, in the matter of th* People vs. Theodore Tilton; “I entertained the oomplaint in this oaae, and issued the warrant against th* defendant, believing it to be my duty to do ao. I had no knowledge of the com- plainant, or hie position in the matter. The defendant wu arrested on that war- rant, and appeared before me personally and by counsel; and the complainant alao appeared at tb* same time, when it wu admitted by complainant, and thus made known to me for the first time, that the complaint was not made with the knowl edge or consent of the person alleged to have bun libeled- Now, while it is true that the libel is a publio offense, it i* also true that it is such an offense because of the private wrong aud injury it iLfliots upon the iudi- vidual libelled. Complaint* of thia kind uauslly originate with th* person aasailsd, though it is not always absolutely easen tial that thi* should be so; and many oases occur where third person* may in terfere without incurring odium or un sure of any kind. Aa a publio offenu, however, it oonslsta in injury don* or threatened to an individual. It is hardly consistent with legal prinoiplu to assume a crime from any composition or publica tion, however virulent, when the person therein mentioned, who is generally tap- posed to be the beat judge of what affect* his own reputation, decline* or foil* to prou- onte. The person mentioned in the publica tion oompleined of isaoitixenof Brooklyn, to whom the courts are u accessible u to the complainant in this case. He hu not seen fit to make any oomplaint, aud does not unite in thi* proseoution. I have con cluded, at this stage ot the eau, that it is my doty to dismiss the complaint, not bees os* the complainant did not have the right to make it, but beoauu the person alleged to have bun libelled doe* not now unite in thia prueonlion. But u I may be wrong in my view of the law, I will inear no risk of error in th* matter. I ahall not, therefore, dismiss it now, bnt give notiu that I will do so on Wednesday morning next at 10 o'dook, to whioh time tbisoau atanda adjourned. My objsot in thus postponing n final deoision being to nfford the oomplainant an opportunity to apply to the Supreme Court for a mandamus to compel me to proceed, if I err in refusing. In this event I shall-cheerfully perform wbat may be regarded as my duty in the prem Us*; otherwiu I Bhall terminate tb* case as I have already stated. When Judge Biley bad finished read ing his decision, Mr. Gaynor rose and said : “Doe* yonr,Honor hold that Oqder th* law I have no right in this com plaint ?' The Court replied that inasmuch aa ha was not supported by the party libeled, he had prepared thia deoiaion and would dismiss the oomplaint Wednesday n*xt if no other step* were taken by oomplainant. The Judge then stated that Court was adjourned. iBOMllr Hereditary 1b Tilton’s mostly.
