The Atlanta L,teNigencea' warns its
readers against the sensational news
received from Mexico. Take, for in
stance, the following in the New York
Reald, of the Goth ulti1no. It will be
. remembered, that paper says, that
some time ago reports from Matamo-
ras, Mexico, were received and pub
lished in the Northern newspapers, to
the effect that the imperial troops had
entered and taken possession of Chi
huahua, the Republican capital, and
that President Juarez was compelled
to fee for bis life and become fugi-
tive. We are now in possession of
correspondence from that city to the
1Ot:l of June, which indicates that
these stories were utterly false. At
that time the forces Of Macmillan
had not even entered the State of Chi
huahua; President Juarez, surrounded
by his. Cabinet and other officers, were
still exercising the functions of Go
vernlnent undist,,rbed, and every
thing in that region was progressing
fa, orably for the Republic. The fore
going is but one among many reports
from Mexico that needs correction by
the Herald To us, it seems, that all
pa ties in Mexico are given to exag-
geration, if notsto absolute lying. A
ca17 f,ll reading of all the latest cor
res, ondence from that unfortunate
country, directed to the Northern
press, satisfies us that while the affairs
of the Republic are in no cnviqble
co. 2i;ion, neither are the affairs of
the Empire so fourishing as to make
Maxi!nilian feel secure on his ''im-
perial throne" At Washington, VIC
are s.,re the true situation is known,
as " also feel confident that there is
no danger Of the United States being
hurried into a war with Maxinilian
and France, Notwithstanding the
many rurnors to that effect. Spccula
tion las much to do with reports from
Mexico. The "bulls'' and s'bcars'
of Wall street are still ''in the land of
the l'ving."

One of the evidences of the sad de-

number Of divorces granted by the

rous master, who, as they charged, all
his life. neglected the rights of this
boy, and also violated his duty to his
country; always has been, and now is,
secessionist, and refuses even now to
take the oath of allegiance-while his
sons We're officers and soldiers in the
rebel army, now paroled. They had
no status that this court was bound to
respect. One condition should accom-
pany the order under which the Gus
tody of the boy was given to any
party, namely: that in the exhibitions
hereafter to be given by this strange
creature, a careful account should be
kept, and the larger part of the re-
celpts be returned to the court for the
benefit of the boy and his parents, and
the guardian should give bonds.''
From this it is apparent that Judge
Dickson was shamefully ignorant of
what he spoke concerning Tom and
Southern slavery, else he was cndea-
vorlng, by fan2t;cal illusions, to prcju-
dice and awaken the sympathy of the
presiding judge i'll his favor. Such
speech, to come from man profess
ing intelligence, is too riliculously
absurd to merit consideration.
Judge BARLEY, the respondents at
torney, based the defence GU two
grounds:
lst. These letters of guardianship,
under the laws of Indiana, We're alto
Scther q nullity-were obtained STIR
rcptitiously, by interested parties, to
speculate on the labor OF the boy
the parties obtaining the letters being
non residents of the State of Indiana.
I'd. That Gen. Bethune was the
legal custodian, under the authority
of the boys natural guardian. Evi-
dcnce would be forthcoming to show
that he had treated those slaves
kindly; that six years ago be proposed
to free them, but they elected to
Tcnl,in with HIM
The c;.sc was postponed, and, in
Consideration of concerts having been
announced for Tom, the court per-
mlIs'u Gen. Bethunc to retain custody
of him, after giving bond of 81. 900
Tho above are the prominent points
In this remarkablc' case, and to us it
seems but a miserable invention con-
coctcd for the sole purpose of swind-
hng Bethune and the negroes out of
what Tom can make. Tabbs Gross
is bat Il cat's-paw. AS whole. it is
one of the most glaringly plain at

Church, South, issued the following
circular at Selma, Alabama, on the
5th:
'I expect, God willing, to meet the
Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, at Columbus, Georgia,

the several annual conferences to meet
at their appointed places. during the
approaching Fall and Winter, and to
elect their delegates to the general
conference, to meet on the first of
April next-the place to be published
hereafter. I understand that it is re-
ported, IN many places, that the
Church South is entirely disorganized
and dead, and that some of our friends
are praparing to administer on her
effects. TO all such we say she still
lives, and believes herself capable of
managing her own affairs. Our regu-
lar operations have been hindered dur
ing the war, but now, through God d's
mercy. we have peace, and purpose
to return to our appropriate work of
spreading scriptural holiness through

Levee at Saocarappa.

We learn that the young misses of the
Methodist Episcopal Society, in the village of
Saccarappa, held Fair at Warren's Hall, on
Thursday and Friday evenings of last week,
which was, in every respect q complete sue
cess. ~ .S-sSsiS oFiN
Several months previous these young misses
had formed themselves into sewing circle,
under the direction of Mrs. Moore, the efficient
wife of the former pastor of the church, for
the praiseworthy object of aiding in the erec-
ton of new house of worship, the old meet
ing house having been destroyed by fire last
winter.
The amount taken at the, Fair was about
$3.50. The hall was handsomely decorated
with the national flag, and the walls were
hung with beautiful pictures; various articles
ofneedle work, useful and ornamental, togeth
er with a bountiful supply of refreshments,
were on sale and to these were added excel
lent singing and tableaux, which, TO say all in
word, cannot be beat. The closing exhibit
ton of tableaux on each evening was thirty
two young misses dressed in white, tastefully
grouped, closely resembling statues, save the
motion of the lips in repeating in exact har-
mony the Lords prayer. ne, --v,, -.~, ,
Short addresses also were made by Rev. DIR.
Weber, Rev. Mr.. Moore, the former pastor, and
Rev, Mr.. Pottle, the present pastor: and among
other illusions touching the pleasant scene
was one to the fact that the gathering was
composed ofpersons of all religious sects and
parties who, forgetting for the time their dis
tinctive views, had assembled to fraternize
and cooperate in the noble object of rebuilding
a temple for the worship of Almighty God.

currency, which must be Withdrawn In ABOUT

1t amounts to this: there is diminution OF
the currency to the amount of S6l5,O0O. 1t is
fact that at least twenty-five per cent. OF the
local circulation of our city banks, has disap-
peared. This fact our business men know.
But your correspondent argues, that be-
cause high prices are maintained, there cannot
have been any considerable reduction in the
currency. But this is not reliable test
Merchants have purchased their goods for
cash, because money aoas plenty !; and they can
afford to hold them awhile, before selling at
reduced prices. And they will do SO, let there
be continued stringent money market, win
an almost certain prospect of 2 colisipef aDl u
decline in prices, and they will sell al Siii"ii
loss, rather than hold their gooaS ioiisei' a'
the risk of a greater decline Prices Will not
fall in a dav. nor week, but they must decline

or ofthe present inflated currency. do not
think such an inference can be drawn from
nv article, nor did mean SO. believe it is
generally admitted, that a paper currency,
founded upon specie basis, and convertible
at all times, by the holder into specie, without
discount, is the best currency, and l think SO.
When you cut loose from this; you are drift
ing upon an unknown sea. A metallic anchor
