The ATLANTIC N oNrnLY.-Tne July mum.
Der Of this sterling magazine is received, and
in truth, it is moro than usually valuable
and interesting number. Among the more
valuable articles are Mexico, On Horseback
into Oregon, Ice Period in America, The
May Campaign in Virginia, &c. Among the
writers for the present number are Longfel.
low, Bryant, Holmes, Hawthorne, Emerson,
Mitchell, Agassiz and Harriet Beecher Stowe.
The Atlantic unquestionably has the ablest
corps Of writers Of any literary magazine in
the country, and as measure of the appre-
citation in which it is held, the publishers
state that its circulation has largely increas-
ed during the past year. We are pleased TO
know Of its prosperity and hope that it will
continue, as it has hitherto done, to merit its
prosperity. The great fault with periodicals
Of this kind, especially in this country, has
been, that as prosperity increased, the pub
fishers, in some instances at least, have SUI.
fered them to degenerate instead Of striving
to elevate their character and to cultivate in
their readers taste for the more substantial
in matter and the more polished in STYLE
The publishers Of the Atlantic, however,
give assurances that this shall not be the case
with their periodical.

The CONSUMPTION bill as amended. passed
both Houses Of Congress on Saturday last
The Chicago Tribune says oft:
at abolishes the $500 Communication
clause, but gives fifty days for volunteering
before dsafting. The drafted man, if able
bodied, must serve one year or find his own
substitute. Each county and township or
ward is to be credited with all soldiers here
tofore furnished, and charged with their re.
spective quotas. Blacks count on the draft
the same as whites. and may be taken for
substitutes. The bill allows recruiting in
the rebel States, with the exception of Ten
nessee, Arkansas. and Louisiana and fixes
the bounty at 500 for one years service
500 for two years, and $500 for three years,
A cali for aoO, 900 men under this bill nay
be looked for very soon. They are greatly
needed to reinforce Grant and Sherman, and
to replace the 100 day men, whose term of
service will expire in Angus, and September.

MR. EDlroR I'll noticed in your last issue

an effort to justify himself in his former
statements with reference to myself, but this
is all in vain. 1t is true have rented my

that, since the salary of County Superin-
tendents has been increased but it is not
true that the increase of salary was the cause
Of my SO doing. This is what he is driving

not true and if be knows the facts in the
case he knows it is not true and If he does
not know the facts he does wrong to state as

to which he alludes, | did OF suppose he
would feel like bringing it before the public.

Tue circumstance was tnls NJ, as SuO'Ol-

STEALING,


Northern Iowa is overrun with thieves
Livery week Of late we have recorded ono or
more cases Of horse-stealing, harness steal.
ing, or something attendant on these opera.
lions. We have no doubt but thoroughly
organized band of robbers and assassins in.
Test the country, having members in every
county. In the sparsely populated counties
North and West Of US, they are even becom-
ing terror to the people, who are moving
10 organize societies for self protection and
as means of rendering justice to villains.
In Wright county society of this kind has
lroady been organized and officers elected.
1t is high time that steps were taken for the
squelching Of this high. handed horse.steal-
ing business. There should be some united
effort for the bringing of those INDUCING in
it to summary justice. These outlaws do not
hesitate to become murdercrs, as evinced by
the shooting Of five men by the party who
were making their escape with stolen horses
from Wright county. They arc desperate
characters, and vigorous means only will ef.
fectually put quietus to their daring opera
tons. These characters generally make their
headquarters in the villages, where they are
recognized 40 loafers with no visible means
Of support. The citizens should interest
themselves in ferreting out their true charac-
tors, and giving them such thorough expo.
sure and vigorous treatment that their games
may thereby be effectually checkmated for q
reasonable time in the future. We recon.
mend to our friends in the country that they
keep their movable property well under
guard, and themselves in condition to attack
abe enemy on shortest notice. The more Of
Sanger there is for these scoundrsls, tho less
VI thieving there will be.

Sighting by one Of those grand fanking move.

The Chicago Tribune Gays Of this late sue
cess: E.."
Sherman, BY the success Of his recent bold
flanking movements, has occupied Marietta.
on the Atlanta aud Western Railway, just
twenty miles from the city Of Atlanta. Ma
rietta is a. old place, containing in peaceful
times several thousand inhabitants. It has
comparatively recently Seen ascertained to
be great depot Of stores for the rebel army,
and this had caused some to suppose that
Joe Johnston was merely . temporary de-
tense in front Of it for the purpose Of getting
time to remove these stores. ,Be that as it
may, he had taken up position strongly de-
fensible, and which has seemed to puzzle our
officers little more than anything previ
ously encountered in Georgia. 1t has, how.
ever. been safely passed, and now Atlanta is
in far more peril than WAS Marietta > week
ago, being far less defensibse. ..,. .

Secretary Chase, very unexpectedly, has
resigned his position in the Cabinet Is See.
setAfy Of the Treasury. This announcement
snet with most general regret in all parts Of
ths country, as the manner in which he has
discharged the onorous duties Of his office,
and the manner in which he has sustained
the public credit, had properly secured to
him large public confidence. As to the cause
Of bis resignation there has been much spec
,.lation, but no satisfactory conclusions have
iren arrived At. Some say he has long been
intending to take the step, but has been de-
i,yed BY circumstances. Others that it is in
consequence Of difficulties between him and
President Lincoln. Time will doubtless
,hrow light on the subject.
Ex- Governor Tod of Ohio, was first nomi-
rated as his successor, but Mr.. Tod declined
tts position, because, a. many aver he was
satisfied of his unfitness to occupy it.

TEE REBEL Pirate ALABAMA SUNE.-The
foreign news We publish TO- day contains the
important and gratifying intelligence that the
great rebel pirate, Alabama, has been sunk.
She attacked the U. S. war steamer kear-
sarge, which was on the watch for her near
France, and after an engagement Of an hour
and forty minutes she was sunk-and thus
ends the career of an Internal machine !"
that has accomplished immense damage to
our oceon commerce. Unfortunately, Semmes
the infamous scoundrel who commanded
the pirate-succeeded in making his escape
on board Of British yacht. 1t is reported
that sixty.eight Of the pilates, officers and
crew, were captured. Semmes acknowledges
to loss Of nine killed and twhnty wounded
The kearsarge lost no men and sustained no
damage.-Cdicago Journal 9th.
FAIRBANKS SCALES. - About thirty FIVE
years ago, the Messrs. Fairbanks invented
and began making platform Scales, which
effected complete change in the manner Of
doing such business Us requires weighing,
and without which it would be impossible to
do the present immensc amount Of business
in the country. Since then they have given
their constant personal attention to the bust
ness, making all sucn improvements ana
adding such notifications AS their experience
has shown to be desirable. During this
time many other kinds Of scales have been
invented, and more or less tried by the pub
lie, and mainly thrown aside, while the bust
ness of the Messrs. Fairbanks has steadily
increased from year to year, their scales now
standing higher in public estimation, and
their sales being very much larger than ever
befoss. This shows very strongly the excel
lencc and durability Of Fairbanks Scales.
