WEAR NO CHINA HATs.-lf you will wear
China hats, keep them away from children.
A friend of ours at Copper City. the other
day, while engaged in quiet game of cards
in n saloon, became somewhat annoyed by u
little son of the bar keeper. little urchin
about three years old, and to get rid Of the
child took off his lat-of the broad
China style-and placed it on the little iel-
lows head The child took the hat in his
hand and inspected it, Much wonder did he
manifest at its peculiar shape At last he
seemed to realize the intention of the manu-.
facturer, and as the idea possessed him he
withdrew from tie room, hat in hand. Soon
after our friend, wanting his bat, search was
made, the hat found in sorner Of the aa-
joining room. with the little philosopher sit.
ting in it. The hat was secured, but. much
to the chagrin of our friend, the little fellow
in carrying out his idea of the proper use o
an article looking like it, had left-his caro-
in it. Our friend threw that hat away, and
don't think that child bit smart.

CENTRAL CoMMIrTEE.-A meeting of the
Shasta County Union Central Committee
was held on the Doth inst, at which it was
resolved to call a County Convention for the
purpose ofeecting delegates to the State and
Congressional Conventions to be held at Sac
ramento or the 30th Of August next, and re-
commended that all loyal voters assemble in
their respective precincts on Saturday even
ing, August 18th, for the purpose of electing
delegates to said County Convention. The
apportionment vas fixed at one delegate at
large for the precinct, and one delegate for
each twenty. Ave votes, and one for each frac
ton of twenty-five votes cast for f. T. Low at
the September election for Governor. The
only test adopted is that proposed by the
State Central Committee, ard Will be found
embodied in the call for a Convention in ano-
ther column. The rule adopted will give a
larger representation from the smaller pre-
cincts than that heretofore adopted, and leave
Shasta precinct with the same number Of del
eaates as last year. We trust the members
of the Union party in the respective precincts
will see to it that none but good and true
men are chosen to represent them In Conven-
ton, thereby securing the confidence OF the
people and strengthening the arm of the
Government, by placing none but good men
in nomination for the suffrages of the people
at the approaching election.

ATLAxrA-The following description of
this place, which Gen. Sherman's armv is
now rapidly approaching, or which he may
even now have captured, is from the n. Y.
Express:
Atlanta. which is the objective point of the
Sherman expedition has population of 26,-
600 inhabitants. among whom are a liberal
sprinklng of Northerners, who are the most
demon strative and extreme Sccessio9ists in
the town. It is located in an elevated and
salubrous section of the State, upon the di-
vding line in Fulton county between the
cotton growing and grain producing regions,
and is 80 miles from Savannah, 507 miles
from Charleston. and l75 miles from Mont
gomery, Ala. 1876 miles from Chattanooga
3l2 miles from Knoxville and 100 miles from
Richmond Four railroads communicate
with Atlanta and form junction there-the
Western or Georgia State Railroad, the Ma
con and Western Railroad aud the Atlanta
Montgomery Railroad In the Spring of 1850
John C. Calhoun. on his return from the
Commercial Convention at Memohis, stopped
several days in Atlanta. ard predicted that it
would he the gpeatest inland city of the South
and at no distant day the capital ofthe South
ern Confederacy, the corner stone of which,
be maintained, would be African Slavery.
Although the rebel capital is at present in
Richmond, the public sentiment of the South
has already located it permanently at Atlanta
provided the Confederacy does not collapse.
! There are quarries of the very finest granite
at Stono Mountains, Is miles from Atlanta,
on the Georgia Railroad, and tho people of
that city determined, when this cruel war is
over to rear structures more magnificent
than those Of Greece or Rome, tall as the
Tower Of Babel. and more durable than the
Pyramids Atlanta is the great military de.
pot Of rebeldom, and. here are the naval
supplies. There is an armory at Atlanta, a
chemical laboratory. and a sword factory.
Shells, solid shot, siege guns. field pieces,
mountain howitzers, are cast there. Per.
cussion caps. cavalry sabers, artillery har-
ness, gun carriages, ambulances. army wa
CONS. tents and all the shoes and clothing for
the Western Department, are made at Attain
tn. The Armory turns out mussets of The
Springfield pattern, and rolling mills stretch
the plates for the rebel iron clads. Large
quantities Of meat are packed there for the
rebel army. Il may well be termed the most
flourshing ctv of the Southern Confederacy.
though the first house was built there as late
ly as 1874.
