Who Sacked Atlanta.

The Richmond papers have printed
exciting accounts Of the robbery aud des
truction of property in Atlanta by our

now confesses that the sacking was done
by Georgians themselves. 1t gives this
lively account Of how it was done:
Soon after the Yankees left, the coun.

January and the New Year.

1t is very proper that January should
be the first month of the year, as far as
the Northern Hemisphere is concerned
since its beginning being near the winter
salsticc, the year is thus made to present
a complete series of the seasonal changes
and operations, including equally all the
first movements of spring, and the death
of all annual vegetation in the frozen
arms of winter Yet the earliest calen-
dars, as the Jewish, the Egyptian, and
Greek, did not commence the year a, this
point. It was not done till the forma.
| ton Of the Roman calendar usually at.
tribatsd to the second King, Nun,s
Pompilius, whose reign terminated ammo
6.2, B. T.. Numa, it is said, having de
creed that the year should commence
now, added two new months to the ten
into which the year had previously been
divided, called the first January, in hon
or Of Janus, the deity, supposed to pre-
side over door, who might very naturally

with the opening of the year. ,5.Fn.'
Although there was general popular
regard to the 1st Of January as the b.
ginning Of the year, the ancient Jewish
year, which opened with the 18th 0
March continued long to have lega
position in christian countries. II
. England, it was not till 1852 that LIST O
! january became the. initial day Of thu
legal, as it had long been of the popula,
year. Before that it was customary t
set down dates between the first of Janu
airy, and the Gath Of March inclusively
thus; Jan. 30, 1640-9; meaning tha
popularity the year was 1910, but legally
/ l64o. In Scotland this desirable change
was made by james VI. in privy council
in the year 1864; in Holland, Germany
and Russia, in 100; and in Sweden il
1853.

Petroleum in Europe.

. A London correspond dent Of the New
York Herald writes:
J Your new kingdom Of pretrolia il ere
atipg one or two small revolutions in
Europe 1t has struck one branch OF
:. industry that few would suspect was in
danger. Letters from Italy say that the
advent Of American coal oil has 30 reduc.
ed the demand for olive. oil, that there is
no profit in their olive orchards, and that
no more will be planted, while the old
ones are, many Of them, being cut down.
You know that olive oil il used in the
seuthern. part Of Europe for the purpose
of ilumin alton, for fabrication, and M.
Nitrous household and msnufacturine
purposes, as we'll as for the table. For
most of these purposes coal OF! is both
better aud cheaper. The grease from the
Ohio pig adulterated much olive oil
heretofore, and chespened it; and now
the new "Oil Dorado is going to come
in and complete the destruction Of ono
of the most ancient agricultural pursuits

Lcvant, and the East production DO.
ted since before the time of our Saviour.
Hero in England the results seam des,
tioed to be quite as great. No oil wells
or deposits have been found as yet, and
as tho coal mines are, many Of them,
from two to four thousand fest deep, it
may be safely inferred that little or none
of the petroleum exists uudersthc surface
of these islands There are, however,
three coal mines in Wales that produce
coal that by heat and distillation produ,
ces good C oal oil And these mines have
already been laid under contribution By
an enterprisiog American, who has con
tractcd for all the coal produced for fifty
: ears. When his engines, furnaces and
are all completed, he expects
to use FIVE hundred tons day, and out
Of each ton to make from one, hupdred

A BULL AND ELEPHANT FIGHT -
The usual bull fighting of Spain has late
" been varied for the amusement Of the
pepulance of Sarssossa with conflict
Resembling those the Romans nsed
sometimes to witness in the Flavan Am
pitheatre. An elephant was matcho d
against two bulls, to be encountered
singly. When the first bull was let in
to he arena the elephant was walking
quietly round ii, and SO was taken un-
awares by the first rush of the horned
monster He quickly faced him, how
ever, and by cool tactics threw him to
his knees, The bull rose again and
made two more attacks, both Of which
the elephant foiled by catching him
around the neck with his trunk He
then killed him with thrust of his
tusks.4 The elephant then received &
drink Of water from his keeper, and at.
three ears of Indian corn. The other
bull was then let in, but was more easily
CONQUERED and killed than the first.
