The mortality in this city was less during
August than any previous month of the
current year. Our aggregate health is ex
cellent. No yellow fever, no cholera, no
scourging pestilence, only a suicide epi
demic. During the past week we averaged
two cases of Felo de se per day. The epi
demic like the cholera, come from the East,
and to look no farther we can trace it di
rect to Germany.. It is imported with their
country’s books and broaddoatbs. and her
emigrants bring the taint of it in their no
tions. It is surprising with what noncha
lance these people shuffle off the mortal coil.

[For the Atlanta Daily Intelligencer.]
Newnan, Ga., Sept. 14, 1855.
Messrs. Editors: In the American Disci-
pline of the 12th inst., I notice an article
headed “A suggestion,” and signed “Jus
tice,” reccommending that all adopted citi
zens, not known [the article says not most
absolutely, I suppose it means not general
ly known] to have their naturalization pa-
papers, should be required to exhibit them
to the managers, before they are allowed to
vote in the county election.
It may be that this suggestion was inten
ded for the city of Atlanta only, but it is
not so limited in its phraseology, and cer
tainly the principle involved is one of com
mon interest, however local the proposed
application. If the managers in Atlanta
are called upon now to demand a test of
citizenship not authorized by law, how long
will it be before a similar practice is at
tempted at every poll in the State. And
side by side with this question is another
still more important, and that is if one ille
gal test of qualification is introduced at the
ballot-bos, what will stand in the way of a
dozen others, or as many more as may be
deemed necessary to prop the sinking for-
, tunes of a falling party,

We attended Thursday night the exhibi

We have never been able to discover any
thing in the play to account for its success,
unless it be the moral which it affords. In
the hands of a good actor, the character of
Beverly may be rendered a most impres
sive one, and the concluding scene will pre
sent a terrible example of the effects of the
fatal passion which had swallowed up hi*
life. If the acting is to bo judged by tiie

The recent expose of the Templars, a new
order of K. N’s, together with the publica
tion of their ritual in several of the leading
journals of tho city continues a topic of in
terest. The order is an offshoot of the K.
N. organization, “wheel within a wheel.”
It was founded in tho spring of 1854 in this
city, and in May of ’55 there were 59 Tem
plars in tho counties of New York and
Kings, numbering perhaps 10,000 votes.—
Death is the penalty of revealing any se
cret of thc order. Its cardinal principles
seems to be an active enmity against the
Roman Catholics to the extent of refusing
to associate with one as a friend, to have, if
possible no business intercourse with one,
neither to marry one or permit a child to do
so. In short, to regard Catholics as per
sons whose religion is anti-republican, and
who are endeavoring by means of Jesuits
and Priests to conquer the land of Wash
ington. The members are sworn by a most
solemn oath to protect and stand by each
other, by personal violence if necessary, and
to obey the dictates of the order, its officers
and congress, although it should lead to
death.
It is barely possiblo, that the press of New
York have been humbugged into giving a
fictitious ritual to the public, but it is not
likely.
The plan of the Commissioners of emigra
tion for protecting emigrants by landing
them under their own care at Castle Gar
den, is working admirably. The profes
sion of Runners is entirely broken up.—
Some forty of these land-sharks left for
California last week, while many of the re
mainder have taken to the more honorora-
ble pursuits of hack-driving and peddling,
aud a portion to thieving and gambling.
Many keepers of emigrant boarding houses,
for whom these decoy-ducks labored, have
been compelled to “dryup”.
It is found that much less destitution ex
ists among newly-arrived emigrants than
was supposed, before this system of protec
tion saved them from the plundering which
was sure to como within the twenty-four
hours from the time they landed.
The last California steamer brings us

A Touching Story.
The Hon. A. II. Stephens, of Georgia, in
a recent address at a meeting in Alexandria
for the benefit of the Orphan Asylum and
Free School of that city, related the follow
ing anecdote:
“A poor little boy, iu a cold night, with
no home or roof to shelter his head, no pa
ternal or matex-nal guardian or guide to pro
tect or direct him on his way, reached at
nightfall thc house of a rich planter, who
took him iu, fed, lodged, and sent him on
his way with a blessing. Those kind at
tentions cherred his heart, and inspired
him with fresh courage to battle with the
obstacles of life. Years rolled round ; Pro
vidence led him on, and he had reached the
legal profession; his host had died; the cor
morants that prey on the substance of man
had formed a conspiracy to get from tbe
widow her estates. She sent for the near
est counsel to commit her cause to him, and
that counsel proved to be the orphan boy,
years before welcomed and entertained by
her deceased husband. The stimulus of a
warm and tenacious gratitude was now ad
ded to the ordinary motive connected with
the profession. He undertook her cause
with a will not easily to be resisted; he
gained it; the widow’s estates were secured
to her in perpetuity; and Mr. Stephens ad
ded, with an emphasis of emotion that sent
an electric thrill throughout the house, 'that
orphan boy stands before you !’ ”
Another Serious Accident on the Cam
den & Amboy R. R.—Another serious acci
dent, attended with loss of life, occured on
the Camden & Amboy R. R. this afternoon
(Sept. 8). The engine of the two o’clock
train, when near Beverly, was thrown from
the track by the breaking of an axle at
tached to the forward truck, and rendered a
complete wreck, and following after it was
the baggage and one passenger car.
John Holland, tbe engineer, was so bad
ly injured that amputation of one of his
limbs became necessary, but he died short
ly after the operation had been performed.
He lived at Camden, and leaves a family.
Langhorn Thorne, a fireman, was seri
ously injured, but not considered fatally.
None of the passengers were hurt.
The acecident occurred at 2£, P. M., and
was occasioned by a flaw in the axle next
to the wheel. An examination showed the
axle to have been sound about an inch and
a half in a diameter of five inches. Soon
after the accident occurred, the engineer
asked, “What’s broke ?” On being told thc
axle, he replied, “I thought so.” Such a
remark leads to the inference that he was
aware at the depot of a flaw, and, notwith
standing, he recklessly perilled the lives of
passengers and his own. Great excitement
prevailed among the passergers in regard to
the disaster, and the feelings of the people
are again liarrowed up by the repetition of
the same accident. Drs. Bry and Beverly
performed the operation on the engineer.—
The train was delayed four hours.
Gov. Price and Double -Tracks.—It
seems that Governor Price, of New Jersey,
in his Inauguraral Address, delivered eigh
teen months ago, took strong ground in fa
vor of double tracks for the Railroads of that
State. He said emphatically that “all roads
authorized to carry passengers should be
compelled to lay a double track for security
against accidents.” This excellent advice
was repeated at the commencement of the
last session of the Legislature.

The Fight at Sebastopol.—The captain
of an American vessel now freighting for
the French Goverraent, writes home from
Balaklava, July 22d, that thc Allies have
about 300,000 soldiers in the Crimea. He
says:
“The two armies have advanced the tren
ches to within 50 yards of each other, and
make dreadful havoc. I could see the Rus
sians throw shells from the Redan and Mal-
akoff towers directly into thc English and
French trenches, and it is a melancholy
sight to sec the poor fellows taken out of
them, knocked to pieces.
“I was talking with an officer who has
been in the Crimea throughout the cam
paign, and he was of opinion that it would
not be taken this year. He said that the
Russian fortifications were the best engi
neering he ever knew. From an elevated
position, whore you can seethe whole imp,
it is a most magnificent sight. I Hod a
