THE GROUNDS OF INDICTMENT FOR LIBEL AGAINST
THE EDITOR AND REPoRrER OF A. NEwsPAPER.-
Brief mention WAS made in our last issue of the in
dctment for Libel by the Grand Jury Of the Hastings
Court ON Friday last of the editor and reporter Of
the Richmond Erdmsner. We give the following
extracts from the Mayors Court proceedings upon
which the grounds of the indictment were based:
From the Examiner of the 9th of July, 1854
s.The continued case of John p. Sledd butcher,
previously examined upon the charge OF stealing
four COWS of the value of 81 900, from Francis Ii.
Deane of Henrico, and released OH 600 bail, wls
again called, and Mr. Sledd appeared with his
sell Mr.. Crane, and his cloud OF witnesses.
s.To afford a proper understanding of the case, it
NAV be proper to state that Mr. Sedd was arrested
last Friday week upon the charge, and though the
charge was such as to Justify his release upon ball.
the very impartial and fair-deallng Mayor who rules
over us refused to enter into an examination OF the
ease at the time They 90 say thst ne mas had per-
standing But who believes that this sirtuous, in
corrupt and incorruptible magistrate TINS model OF
Mayors; this man of ainiaoie temper, eieaitiy
habits, and temperate way Of life, could possibly
pe,mit private anmosity 10 bias his Judgment IN
the decision of affecting the liberty Of AN ae-
cused citizen, Who, indeed Whoi Echo an
swers-who! Mr.. sledd, however, went TO Jail, and
amined and bliled, though the evidence was the
same that was obtainable ON the first day"
In another case where certain parties are charged
with violating the liquor law, the following lam
guase occurs
aWhether .Old joe has amy liquor and lunch
bills standing the above places We do not know
but there runs tradition that Old Joe Is hard on
those inn and grog-keapers who cast up scores
chalked down behind the door against him"
From the Exdmiqer of the 18th OF July the fol-
lowing extract from the Mayors Court proceedings
Is copied in the indictment:
sGeorge Drew, the man SO earnestly sought in the
case OF John +. Siedd was in court this morning
..Drew confirms every wordof Mr. sie,s',
statement in regard to the manner III which hs
came in possession Of the cows, which sateaent tbs
Mayor chose to set at nanaht, ard committed MIR
Sledd to Jail Mr.. Slcdd viii have justice dons
him, when malignant Mayor finds he can no far
ther carry his enmsty concealed beneath the dragget
gown OF his Office without exposure and detection.

FROM GEORGIA
At last accounts the sheling of Atlanta continued
with unabsted vigor. The enemy was masaing his
troops on the left, but making no effort to extend
his right. 1t seems not TO be sherman's intention
10 attempt to carry works by assault but rather
to make movement around, and enttcavor to take
Atlanta III the rear. This il what the Yankees cal,
the ''pct-hook'' method We have no doubt that
General Hood ia fully awake to the enemy's plans,
and will meet them successfully when the day OF
trial comes. Sherman and Thomas both tesgraphed
10 Washington that Atlanta would be in their pos
session before the close of this last week; but
the city still stand-, hutlins defiance ut the foe, they
will have to telegraph again that they slightly
mistaken III their calculations
