Akeuman’s Speech.—Mr. Aker man, Attorney General of the United States, delivered a long speech in Atlan ta on last Thursday night. Os course it was Radically right, or Akerman’s head would have been off by this time. For Akermun, the jack-leg lawyer and politician, it was bully; but for Aker man, U. S. Attorney General, it was a miserable bosh of party cuts and slashes. _. In the Senate, on Friday, Bills were passed extending State aid to the South Georgia and Florida Railroad Company; ihe South and North Railroad, from Romo to Columbus; the Ocmulgee Riv er and North Georgia Railroad, and the Griffin, Monticello and Madison Rail road. The report of the Finance Com mittee, recommending the passage of an act authorizing the Governor to borrow money, was adopted. —— » E* 1 'Tiie Wyoming, at Savannah, brought ten mechanics from Philadelphia, who go to Atlanta to erect a passenger depot for the State Road in that city.

Hurrah for Kenny I —Kenny head ed the list for the establishment of a ‘‘Soup House and Charity Hospital” with SSOO. H. I. Kimball, the live man of Atlan ta, gave SSOO. His Excellency, Gov ernor R. B. Bullock, gave SIOO per year as long as he resides hero. Foster Blod gett gave SIOO per year so long as he resides. — New Era. This thing has started out exactly right. Kenny, and those engaged in his kind of traffic, are the very men who are duty bound to provide for the widows and orphans of this and every other land. For their damnable trade in spirits is the prime cause of seven tenths of the charity objects in the world, being in their present condition. Yes, for every barrel of ale or lager sold, they can have the satisfaction of knowing that a destitute widow, perhaps, is thrown upon the cold charity of the world. The bottles upon their shelves, are as so many tickets of admission to the regions of despair. The barrels ar rayed in their cellars should remind them of so many death-bed scenes of their unfortunate victims. Hurrah for Kenny, indeed! We can excuse this from a public journal, when be has pei formed a deed of charity— but then let us ismember that Kenny is but recognizing his duty to the poor— his duty practically, leCaJise he is one of the authors of their misery. Hurrah for Kenny and the R> u n dis pensers oi the work} l we imagine wiiJ come up from the pits of hell one day, as these agents of the devil enter with their millions of dupes and victims around them ; tor if his Satanic majesty offers any premium for the destruction ot the largest number of human souls, these vile liquors and their dispensers will certainly take the premium.

[communicated. ] Editor Times: —All us space in your Valua ble paper to suggest the name of Col. Daniel S. I RiNTur, of I loyd, as a suitable candidate for Congress. We have known him long and well, and know him to be eminently qualified to fill the position, and can take his seat if elected, as nig disabilities have been removed by Congress. He has taken no part in poli tics, but has devoted his time and talents to building up our section of the country, and to-day have more influence in Congress and with the capitalists of the North, than any man in Cherokee Georgia, consequently could secure more legislation in favor of our section than any man we could send there; yea, more than any two. One reason is. ho is not an extremist, but an honest and con sistent man, and a man of more than ordina ry information and talent—— a representative man. We do hope that he may secure the nomination and be elected, for we feel that he would be the right man in the right place. Let ug act wisely and for the good of our District, and not for any man. We can’t af ford to do otherwise. Yours, &e., September, 1870. CHATTOOGA. The Legislature. In the House on the sth, the special order was a militia bill, which was in definitely postponed by a vote of 52 to 36. Mr. Bryant opposed the motion to postpone, and argued that a country without military organization is at the mercy of a mob. Mr. Anderson asked Mr. Bryant if there mid ever neen any use for the militia since Oglethorpe landed, and if it had’ not generally been regarded as a farce. Mr. Bryant replied that he was not conversant with the history of the Georgia militia. Mr. Harper, of Terrell, asked if Mr. Bryant did not believe the organization of the militia would stir up strife. Mr. Bryant replied that he did not think so. Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, asked if there had not always been a militia law in this State, * except when prohibited by the recent act of Congress. Mr. Bryant answered that he did not know, and argued that in case of a con flict between the races it would be ne cessary to have an organized military body, and this hill only proposes to change the code so as to make it con form to the constitution. Mr.- Duncan argued that there is no necessity for the hill, because the con stitution gives every man the right to bear arms, and whenever it conflicts with the code the former must prevail; that there is no use for a militia organ ization, and, therefore, he moved an indefinite postponement of the whole subject. Mr. Turnipseed offered a resolution providing that hereafter the House with a view to an early adjournment hold two sessions each day, from 10 a. m. to 1 p. m., and from 3 p. m. to 5 p. m., which resolution was adopted. Mr. Lane offered a resolution provid ing that this session shall not extend longer than the Ist of October, unless by a two thirds vote of both branches of the General Assembly, and then not beyond the ten'll day of October. Pending a Mote on this resolution ft j was discovered that there was no quorum in the House. J&S'” The following is the reply of Superintendent Blodgett to the letter of E. W. Cole, President of the Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad, calling his at tention to the bad condition of the road, and urging the importance of its being placed in good order: Atlanta, Qa. Aug., 29, 1870. Colonel E. li. Cole, President , &c. : My Dear Sir : In response to your esteemed favor of the 25th inst., I would say that I fully appreciate the force of the suggestions you are pleased to make in reference to the condition of this road, and that I am still doing everything in my power to put the road in first class condition. To this end almost the entire net earnings of the road have been expend ed in payment of contracts for material and stock made by my predecessor, and in the purchase of new iron, rolling stock, motive power and equipments for the road ordered by myself. But for these necessary expenditures I would have been able to make larger payments into the State Treasury than, perhaps, have been made for years past, as the* business of the road has been larger than heretofore. These expenditures have enabled me to put the road in better condition than it was last year; but there is, as you suggest, much yet to be done in order to meet the demands of trade. There is some forty odd miles of the road that requires new iron; the safety of the road demands this, and I hope to be able to supply it soon. We also need at least 250 additional freight cars, and at least five more first-class freight en gines. These, in addition to the repairs of bridges and road bed. which you sug gest, will require additional heavy out lays of money; and in view of the heavy payments made, and to be made, for re and stock contracted for by my predecessor, and those I have thought necessary to make, it will be impossible to put the road in first-class condition, and supply it with sufficient rolling stock and motive power to do the heavy business anticipated by you this fall, : without an appropriation by the State j for that purpose. Jhe Joint Committee of our Legisla ture, appointed t 0 investigate the affairs of the road, recommended in their re port to the Legislature, an appropriation at once, for putting the road first-class condition; and a bill, as I learn, has been introduced for that purpose.— Should the recommendation of the com mittee be promptly acted upon, I hope ! to be able to place the road in a con dition second to that of no railway in the United States, and consequently, in a condition to keep clear of all “ freight j blockades ” during the ensuing season. ; Thanking you for your timely sug- I gestionis, and with sentiments of great j esteem. I remain yours very respectfully, j Foster Blodgett. j Superintendent. Will France Submit ?—Views of a French Liberal. A great nation does not readily ac ; quiesce in the necessity of taking a | lower place in the hierarchy of European j Powers than that to which she has been j accustomed, and the very best terms which I ranee could at this moment gain j from Prussia would involve this much jof degradation. Nothing that Lord | Granville could propose could save her ; from this necessity, and there is not I much chance that she would accept mediation if coupled with the condition of submitting to it. Even if we are over-estimating the perseverance and resolution of the French people in attributing to them this determination to go on fighting, we can hardly be wrong in supposing that they would only regard peace in the light of a breathing space in which to prepare to fight the battle over again with better fortune and a different result. There is no talk in France of the war having been a mistake ; all we hear of is that it was a mistake to enter upon it so un prepared. Take, for example, the fol lowing extract from the “ Chronique ” in the new number of the Revue des Deux Mondes. 3 his war with Prussia was certainly inevitable. It must have broken out some day or other, and we will even venture to say that the late events have made its inevitableness still more appar ent by reducing us so promptly to the -UrW: and by bringing into relief the weakness of our frontier—a weak ncoo nlroaUy vory creat under the con ditions of the treaties of 1815, and still greater since 1866, when Prussia pres ses on us with the weight of the whole of Germany, bound together in a mili tary union. These events have shown by sinister evident where was the ag gressive force, the permanent menace. Thus the war was one of those terrible contingencies which we were bound to foresee, which we could not decline at a given moment; but it was above all ne cessary to know whether we were pre pared, and, if we were not ready, it was needful to know how to wait. Every thing depended on that. * * ** War doubtless has its hazards of which no one is master. In so great a strug gle reverses may happen; but when one knows the cause of them they are half repaired, they cease to be a reason for discouragement, and become, on the countrary, an energetic stimulant.— Henceforth France, fortified by ex perience, can fight before Europe, who watches her; she can march to the con flict with a manly confidence because she feels her force, because she knows that her banner is that of the civilization and liberty of peoples. 1 hus in the opinion of so moderate and sensible a Liberal as M. Charles de Mazadc, the result of the war up to this time has only been to show that some addition of territory on the side of Ger many is absolutely necessary to the safety of France. No doubt the chain of reverses may be so heavy and so un broken that she may at least be driven into acknowledging that her former greatness is lost beyond the possibility of recall. But Prussia has a good deal to do before that period of exhaustion is reached, and even when it is reached )'i $1 not Liadily believe that ill not be content, to remain at it. The Chinese Massacre. A special correspondent gives the de tails of the atrocious Chinese massacre of the French and Russian residents at Ticn-Tsin, China. It appears that the responsibility of the horrible butchery rests entirely with the Chinese author ities; that the mob were not only incited by the Chinese Governor of the Province, but frequently urged to commit the atrocities. Their ignorance and super stition were worked upon by most re markable means, and the official publi cations taught them to believe that for eigners were in Tien-Tsin to kidnap women and children, with the design of killing them and converting their bodies into drugs. A mob held possession of the French settlement, maltreating all foreigners who were abroad for two days before any blood was shed, and the Gov ernor not only did not restrain or dis perse it, but he even permitted his sol diers to encourage and aid it. It was not until the riot was three days old that the French Consul was killed in the Governor’s Palace and the wholesale slaughter began. Ihe Rev. Mr. Stanrie and family, of Cincinnati, occupied one of the missions, but as he chanced to be absent at the time, Mrs. Stanrie and Miss Thompson found refuge on board the steamer Mon chu, and thus doubtless escaped a ter rible fate. It is asserted that over two hundred Chinese were massacred by the mob. It is charged that Chunghow, the Mandarin or Governor of the Pro vince, stood by and witnessed the mas ; sacre without attempting to prevent it, and a/so that J. Q. T. Meadows, Ameri can Consul at Tien-Tsin, was in Com pany with Chunghow all the time and did.nothing to prevent tins twniUa exit rage, ‘although he, as an officer of the Chinese Government, had enough power and influence to prevent it. The Em peror of China appointed Chunghow a special minister to this outrage, and has | appointed Meadows as secretary and I interpreter to accompany Chunghow.— Thiq the Shanghai papers denounce as a grfss insult, and call on the French and Russian Governments to resent it. The outrages to which the females were subjected, before they were mur dered, are too sickening to relate.— Evefv cruelty, says the correspondent, whiih it was possible for the most sav age barbarians to conceive of was prac tice! upon these defenseless Christian ladi<fc. and the native Christian priest, who (attempted to guard the doors, seized rud tern limb from limb. Nine sisters were c- liectcd in a large school-room*, beaten with sticks, their clothes being torn from their bodies, placed on their heads, and cut with knives in the most savage planner, and outraged. let alive they were ranged side by side along the room, their cheeks gashed, lips and nose beat, eyes scooped from their heads, their breasts cut off. and abdomens rip ped open with large cleavers. Their limbs were cut and broken, and in ten minutes naught remained but their dis figured bodies, . -.. i When there was no more to do, tire was applied, and the buildings burned. Sixty or seventy children, who had sought refuge fr.uu the mob in the cellar, were burned to death. The French cathedral, consulate, hospital and build ings of all foreigners were sacked and burned. FRObTeURQPE. Washington. 'September 3.—The Secretary of State has a dispatch from Minister Motley announcing the surren der of the whole French army, at Sedan, with the Emperor. New York, September 3.—From conflicting telegrams we gather the fol lowing : McMahon was moving to the relief of Metz, when he was encountered and driv en hack by the germans who pursued closely. The pursuit involved a series of conflicts. There was serious work at Sedan on Tuesday when McMahon perched on the heights of Vaux, near Carignan, whith er the Emperor came on that day with thirty thousand men. McMaliou’s troops were attacked be tween Monzon and Monliers—this was the battle of Beaumont. The French were driven over the Meuse Mousson. An encounter on the other bank resulted in driving McMahon from Yaux. Mc- Mahon faced about, Wednesday, be tween Douzy and Bazelles. A severe engagement occurred, when the Prus sians turned the French right, necessi tating their retirement upon Sedan, be tore which they again renewed ibo on Thursday, when they were driven in to the fortress of Sedan. The Telegram’s special London dis patches from the seat of war report a brilliant Prussian suceess. Twenty thou sand French lay dead and wounded on the field. New York. September "3.—A spe cial to the Tribune dated London 3d. from the King’s headquarters at Vendres near Sedan, s;i3 r s: Friday, the battle of Sedan began at six in the morning of September Ist. Two Prussian corps were in position on the west of Sedan having got there by long forced marches to cut off the french retreat to Mezicre. South of Sedan was the first Bavarian corps, and east, across the Meuse, the second Bavarian corps. The Saxons were on the north-east with the guards, I was with the King throughout the day on a hill above the Meuse commanding a splendid view of the valley of the Meuse and the field. After a tremendous battle, the Prus sians having entered the fortifications of Sedan, the Emperor capitulated at 5.05 p. m. Ilis letter to the King of Prussia said : “As I cannot die at the head of my army, I lay my sword at the feet of your majesty.” Napoleon left Sedan for Prussian head quarters at Vendres at 7 o’clock in the morning. September, 2<L—McMahon’s whole army, comprising one hundred thousand prisoners capitulated without condition. The Prussians had 240,000 men en gaged or in reserve. The French 120,- 000, * . Parisians are preparing for famine by expelling all foreigners, not possessed of means, to furnish their own support. Paris, Sept. 3.—The fortifications are completed. Trochu is virtually Dic tator. My informants left Paris on the 2d instant. To-day is the last day of grace, Berlin, September 3. —The receipt of the news that the Emperor and Mc- Mahon had capitulated is received with the most prodigious enthusiasm here. Thousands of people throng the streets this morning in ranks with arms linked singing patriotic songs, shouting and ex hibiting every other sign of enthusiasm. A singing crowd assembled before the palace when, in response to cheering, the Queen appeared and made a short ad dress. All the schools are closed. The monument of Frederick 11. is lit erally buried with flags. Demonstrations before the residences of Bismark, Moltke and the Minister of War. Stores are closed and the day is given up to festivities. Washington, Sept. s.—The State Department has advices that the repub lic bas been proclaimed from the Hotel De Yille. Rochefort was liberated by the people. Baron Gerolt has a dispatch from his government saying that Napoleon disa vowing the power to treat for peace, the Government being at Paris,the war must continue. Amsterdam dispatches say that the Prince Imperial instead of escaping to Belgium surrendered with the Emperor at Sedan. A dispatch from Washburne to the State Department, says the empire is ended. Excitement in Paris intense. Paris dispatches of Saturday, mid- j night, report vast crowds gathered, but | nn disorder, There were over 120,000 prisoners j captured at Sedan. Paris.
