Mr. It. D. Mann, a ticket agent in
Atlanta, had his office burglarized
ami robbed to the tunc of twenty-live
dollars.
Atlanta enjoyed a lire on the
niylil of tho sth. The Georgia Horae
Insurance Company lost a little by
the lire.
The Atlanta Herald was heat for
City Printer before Connell. The Con
stitittbin now wears the blue ribbon
unions the city officials.
-Col. Alston is out in a card in re
ply to Col. Small. He stales Small
diil not come back at the time he said
he did and produces the affidavit ol'
l)r. Griggs to that effect.
The steamship Tonawanda, of the
Savannah and Philadelphia line, was
sold iu the latter city, on the 20th nil.,
by tho United States Marshal. She
was purchased by Gen. .Tames for
*17,000.
rile discussions on crops at llie
meeting of the Hlukely Grange, on
Saturday, developed the fact that
both corn and cotton were twenty
live per cent, better titan at this date
last year.
The city <>f Augusta prid *78,000
of bonds on July Ist. About *21,000

The newly discovered mineral and
medicinal water in the well dug by
the railroad authorities at riainville,
m-ar B mio, is attracting considera
ble attention. Passengers get off the
train every day when it stops there,
and take a dose of it. Three families
from Selma have made arrangements
to spend the summer there.
A. M. Speer, ,T. X. Harris and C.
li Johnson, hav'e been appointed a ;
committee to select two young men,
sons of local preachers, or some of
thu laymen of the M. K. Church
Sunlit, in Griffin Di o rift, unable to
defray the expensi-s of collegiate ed
ucation, whom Emory College pro
pose to educate free. They must be
prepared to enter t he Freshmen class.
Application may !■ made to them or
either of them, until Ist of August.
—Harris, of the Savannah New*,
thus discourses on the Atlanta cele
bration of the Glorious Fourth :
It Is said that on the night of the
Fourth, Major Wash Georgoingtou
Whldby, of the Atlanta ConAitufioii,
tossed the fiery contents of a Roman j
candle Into the patriotic air. Thus
one by one are l ie' wounds of war
soothed and healed.
Among the features of the Fourth i
lu Atlanta was tho figure of Lieut.
Col. H. Winsome Grady parading the j
streets and firing off a brass-mounted |
home-pistol, which has, some how, i
managed to descend from our revolu
tionary forefathers and mothers. At i
night it is said that he purchased and j
burned a bunch of fire crackers, ft
is one of the beauties of such a day |
that it allows the overworked metro- i
politan editor to unbend his mind,
and affords him an opportunity to |
wear his breeches in his boots and :
chunk his neighbor’s yard-dog. j
Truly, truly may this country be said
to be “the home of tile land and the
free of the brave”—or something of j
that kind.

A saucy Alabama editor says : Pin
’em back ladies, pin ’em back! Don’t,
be ridueuled out of a darling fashion, j
even if ;t did originate among the !

as usual. We can stand it if you

try for fifty years and can not show

Ho pin ’em back, girls, just as tight

When paper money is a drug and
vainly begging somebody to take it
from every bank and stock company
in the land and make it a secure in
vestment, it looks ridiculously absurd
to be bawling for more as a panacea
for hard times. The Hibyllne leaves
that told the will of Jupiter, grew in
value as they diminished in number.

Comrade*: As the last commanding
I officer of the old Third Georgia, f
; take pride and pleasure in directing
! your attention to the approaching
: re-union of our regiment at the scene
jof our first year’s service, and the
1 home of many cherished friends tho
city of Portsmouth, Virginia—on the
1 tli and sth of August, 1875.
Members of the regiment, and
! friends invited by them, can procure
j tickets for the round trip, good for
twenty days, for *l2 each. Efforts
: will be made, and doubtless consum
mated. for transportation over t lie
| Georgia roads at half rates.
I Each company will report, as soon
j as possible, by letter to (’apt. A. A.
I Winn, Secretary of our Survivors’
j Association, at Savannah, Go., sta
lling the name and number of veter-
I ans, and tho number of our friends
| invited by them, proposing to join iu
I the excursion, it is particularly re
j guested that there be no delay in
i making these reports, in order that
the requisite transportation may be
provided, and that circulars may lie
prepared bearing the names of all
members of tho regiment participat
ing in tho excursion.
Oapt. S. A. Corker, and our former
Quartermaster-Sergeant (George N.
Dexter), have consented to precede
the regiment, and make all necessary
arrangements for our coming. Com
panies will rendezvous in Augusta on
it he 2d of August, reporting to our
j former Quartermaster fCapt. Alexan
| dor Philip.), No. 256 Broad street.
Each company will provide ils
members with a badge of ribbon,
marked “Third Georgia Regiment,’’
| and bearing the letter of the compa
ny, and see that tlie baggage is dis
tinctly labelled with tin- name and
company of the owner. The Wash
ington Artillery of Augusta have
kindly consented to give one hour’s
I notice of the departure of tho train
I by a salute of thirteen guns on the
afternoon of the 2.1 of August,
Colonel It. li. Nisbet, a former com
mander of the regiment, will deliver
the regular address on the occasion
of our reunion.
Assemble then. Comrades, in Au
gusta, on the 2d of August next. A
few hours will transport us to the
scene of our entrance upon that mili
tary career which, witli all its hopes
and anticipations, its glories and re
verses, is now in tho past. There let
us renew, face to face and hand in
hand, a comradeship which, formed
amid tho glitter of steel and with the
(lapping of warlike banners, still sur
vives in tlic scattered and peaceful
remnants of that proud regiment
which kept its guns ready and its Hag
unspotted to the last.

report for Georgia:
Atlanta, Juno 23, 1875, Tu answer!
to a request made by your correspou-!
dent for their opinions concerning i
tho Beecher ease, the following law- j
yers complied:
Mr. O. A. Luehrunc, one of tho i
most successful lawyers in the State, !
and once a Judge,*ol' the Supreme I
Court of the State, said that if he was j
one of the jury ho would acquit]
Beecher “on the ground of doubt,” !
and that his private opinion was that'
the defendant was not guilty at all.
Col. Thomas Glenn, Solicitor-Gen-,
oral of the Puiton Circuit, said that
from the evidence ho did not believe j
Beecher guilty of adultery, hut lie
thought he was guilty of indiscre
tion.
The clergymen visited by your cor
respondent wore unwilling to speak,
about the ease.

Notwithstanding that the itou trade i
is flat in England, < Jertmuiy, France, I
ami tin! United Stales, We exported
above ]6,oun tons to Europe in 1874, j
and Alabama furnaces are now send-'
ing iron to England to be manufac- j
tured into east car wheels. In an in- (
tor,'stingarticle on this ali-iinportant
subjoct the Now York Herald lays the
blame of the utuguated condition of
the iron trade to the fact that iron j
never wears out. Old railroad iron \
cracks, breaks and becomes worth- 1
less for use, but is -trail way Sent to
the furnace to be reconstructed into ’
; new and better rails than before, i
\ Very little iron is wasted, as even an i
j old horse shoe found in tho road is
hoarded upand reformed by the cross ;
j roads blacksmith into another and !
i better shoe. The great reason, how- j
lever, for the paralytic condition of
■ the iron market is that the world lias j
] given up building railroads for the j
] present, and until there is a reaction ,
in that direction furnaces will die out
i and be cold, labor and capital will re-
I main idle, and iron will continue to j
(be a drug. Indeed, it appears as if
1 we had more iron than we have need I
j of. The nation seems underlaid With !
iron and coal in illimitable quanti-!
j tics, and as wood for fuel and domes
-1 tic manufactures is gradually being
wasted and used up, wiiy is it, not pos
sible to substitute iron in its place for
a very large majority of articles of \
| household t'mnitnreV These nifty be
made tu Ornamental, as light, as per-
I feet in their utility iu every way, and,
i as a matter of comparative cost, they
I ought to establish an average of 25 to
33 percent, less iu price. This com
! paratively new field of demand for
| our iron will assuredly be opened
j sooner or later, ami innumerable es
; sentials in the construction of houses
I —as window sashes, for instance
will be forced into general adoption,
! not only by reason of their cheapness
I of production, but also by their great -
j er safety, durability and reduction of
rates of insurance.— Sl. Louif Repub

Washington, July B.— The Indian
Bureau has received, through the
War Department, a copy of n com
munication from First Lieutenant
R. 11. Prattle of tho 11th Cavalry,
stating that tho Indian prisoners
umkT his charge, at Fort Marion,
HI. Augustine, Fla., tire particu
larly distressed about being sep
arated from their wives and childron,
and a copy of Gen. Sheridan’s
reply to this statement. The papers
were submitted to the President and
were returned with tho following
memoranda from bis Secretary:
The President says he thinks it will
bo well to carry out tho recommen
dations of Gen. Sheridan. The letter
of Lieut. Pratt is dated Juno 11th,
and addressed to the Adjutant Gen
eral ol the United States array. He
says tho Kiowa and Comanche priso
ners had given him a talk which they
desired sent to Washington, and the
Cheyennes have talked in tho same
manner. They profess an earnest de
sire to work and live as white men do.
They are willing to go anywhere, but
do not desire to go back to their own
country, which they say is a bad
country. There are a great many In
dians at Fort Sill, and in that coun
try, who have done more bad work
than they have; and they ask why
should thoy be allowed to go freo and
be happy with their families, and
they sent down there as prisoners to
live in those dark cells.

(ten. Hut If ron I nrrciie} .
New Y’ork, July B.— The Arcadian
to-day publishes an editorial by Gen.
Butler entitled: A National Currency
-tho Democratic Idea. He contrasts
the American with the English sys
tem, and says at present there is no
more extensive commercial ruin than
that which the business of England
is now under. The central idea of
those who insist on greenback cur
rency, is that it shall be made con
vertible, and reconvertible, into Gov
ernment bonds, at low rates of inter
est. At a little more than three per
cent interest tho avorage gold dol
lar of the world is at presont
invested. Now, if wo make our
greenbacks convertible at tho pleas-
uro of holders into gold, hearing
bonds at 3.(15 per cent, interest, our
dollar is equal in value for invest
ment to the gold dollar of the
world, and tho amount of cur
rency used in tho country will at
once regulato itself by tlic law of sup
ply and demand. Tho writer oppo
ses contraction of values witli a view
to resumption of specie payments,
as bordering on insanity and as a
snare and a delusion. Property of
ovory kind inis depreciated 25 to 33
l*cr cent., until all business is crip
pled, all enterprise stoppod, and one
million men and women idle. While
policy contraction lust nobody will
begin new enterprise. All property
except investments in national, mu
nicipal or private indebtedness de
preciates. Upon the question of
solving the problem of how long this
will last, the Ohio Democrats have
given no uncertain sound. Tho finan
cial question will be the leading
question in future elections.
Tlic American Team.
Dublin, July B.—The American ri
fle team are to-dny visiting the
Giants’ Cause Way. The weather is
splondid, and the Americans are
highly pleased with tho excursion.
They attend tho performance at tho
theatres at Belfast to-night, when it
is proposed to give them an ovation,
A preacher’s reputation is like that
of a woman. When it is assailed aud
brought before a court, if thero is
not an absolute verdict for innocence,
it is tantamount to conviction, so far
as tho public effect is concerned.—

APPLETONB’
American Cyclopedia.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten by the ahleet wrltere on every
subject. Printed from new type, and lUus
trated with Several Thousand Engraving,
and Maps.
The work originally published under the title
of Thk Nkw American Cxclopjcdia wrb com
pleted iu 1863, ainoe which time tho wide circula
tion which it haa attained iu all parts of tho
United HUites, and the signal developments which
have taken place In every branch of science, lit
erature and art, have induced the editors and
publishers to submit itio an exact and thorough
revision, and to issue anew odition entitled The
American Oyclowujia.
Within tho last ten years the progress of dis
covery in every department of knowledge has
made anew work of reference an imperative
want. , . .
Tho movement of political affairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of seieuco, and their iruitlu
application to the industrial and useful arts and
m convenience and refinement of social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume ot
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
and anew course of commercial and industrial
activity has been commenced.
Largo accessions to oux geographical know!
edge have been made by tho indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
Tho great political revolutions of the last de
cade, with tho natural result of the lapse of time,
have brought into public view a multitude of new
men, whoso names aro in every one’s mouth, and
of whoßo lives overy one is curious to know the
particulars. Great battles have been fought and
important sieges maintained, of which tho de
tails are as yet preserved only in the newspapers
or iu the transient publications of the day, but
which ought now to take their place in perma
nent and authentic history.
iu preparing the present edition for the preen,
it hue accordingly been the aim of the editora to
bring down the information to the latest possi*
bio dates, and to fnruißh an oceurato account of
tho most recent discoveries in science, of every
irosh production in literature, and of the newest
inventions iu tho practical arts, as well as to give
a succinct and original record of the progress of
political and historical events.
The work has boon begun after long and care*
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources for carrying it on to a successful term
ination. , , . .
None of tho original stereotypo platea have
been used, but every page has been printed on
new type, forming in fact anew Cyclopedia, with
tho same plan and compass as its predecessor,
but with a fur greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such improvement* in it# composition
as have been suggested by longer experience and
enlarged knowledge. ... . , ..
The illustrations which aro introduced for the
first tlmo in the present edition Lave been added
not for tho sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity and force to the explanations iu
the text. They embrace all branches of science
and of natural history, and depict the most
flunous and remarkable features of scenery,
architecture and art, as wcU as the various pro
cesses of mechanics and manufactures.
Although intended for instruction rather thau
embeliahment, no pains have been spared to in
sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their
execution is enormous, and it is believed they
will find a welcome reception as an admirable
feature of tho Oyclopwdla, and worthy of its
high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. It will be completed
in sixteen largo octavo volumes, each containing
about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several
thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.
