ATLANTA, Feb. 26, 1873.
Trade in every department. is again assum-
ing its proper proportions. A week free from
accidental causes comparatively, which had pre-
viously hindered and crippled the efforts of our
merchants in obtaining supplies has just ended,
and we are glad to be able to state to-day they
are in condition to ell most if not all the
orders of customers. The railroads centerine
in the city have been scenes of great activity III
pushing forward freights of various kinds, and
have in a measure succeeded in catching up
with the requirements made upon them. - q
The Western produce arriving in small guam
titles thus far has found ready sales and prices
continue stiff and firm. We note an upward
quarter of a cent in the pound since our las,
quotations. The market is firm sand settled al

Eastern Division Fair.

We are glad to sec that the Knoxville
Board of Trade has appointed committee
to try to save the Fair Grounds. The East
ern Division Fair should be kept up, and
we are surprised that the business men of
Knoxville ever allowed the Fair Grounds
to 60 to sale. Itseems to us that to let the
Fair die out would be a disgrace not only
TO Knoxville, but to all East Tennessee.

The insurance question.

MEssRs EDITORS: see from the pro-
ceedings in the Chancery Court that the
case of Abraham and Joseph David against
the Etna Fire Insurance Company has
been decided in favor of the complainants.
It seems that these men held policy of
300 on their stock of confectioneries
which was consumed by fire in December,
1870. A list of the losses were made out in
accordance with the rules of the company
and payment demanded on their policy
which they refused to pay, alleging that
their policy holders fraudulently, burnt
their stock of goods. 1t seems that the
company failed to make any such proof,
and the results is that a judgment has been
rendered against the company, the full
amount of the policy with interest.
1t rather bears upon my mind that an
Insurance Company is certainly acting in
bad faith to urge man to insure his prop
erty and then, if he is SO unfortunate as to
have his goods destroyed by fire, to COM
pei the insured to resort to the courts OF
the country in order to obtain his just
dues. JUSTICE.

Dry Goods.

The Wholesale trade in dry goods during the
past week has been rather dull, the late inclem-
ent weather having put the roads in such con-
dition as to make it impossible for country mer-
chants to come to the city. A good trade is eX-
pected with the coming of fair weather.

many years it was supposed that the credit
belonged to England. 1t was claimed that
the British Museum had a copy of the earliest
paper in its collection. II was called the En-
gijh Hercsrie and printed July % 1868; but
il has been shown that this copy, like speci-
mems OF rare old coins, was spurious, and
gotten up for sale Watts, the photographer
of the Museum, who saw, on examination,
that the type and paper were of modern orr
gin and did not belong to the sixteenth cen
tury, exposed the forgery. 1t was an ingenious
fabrication pretending 10 give the news of

Kricgspiel is the rage in the English army
On every hand the officers may be seen WIN
little boards before them, something Ike
those used in chess, but containing maps oil
the different countries On these maps are
placed, concealed from each other, two arm
les, with cavalry, artillery and infantry pro
perly represented. The maps are six inches
to the mile, and follow accurately the surveys
of England. Hills are marked by shaded
lines. and woods and roads are all defined.
The length of the moves varies according to
the nature of the troops. The piece having
been arranged, the game commences. Say 1t
is the invasion of England. The generals on
each side draw up their plans, and the moves
begin according defined system. The in
vading army is to attack London on certain
roads, and included in the general plan there
are some positions OF acknowledged impor-
tance A special idea of the the invaders
might be that force of given strength is de
tachcd to try and secure an important railway
junction. while that of the defenders may be
that force is sent to hold the junction If pos
sible and, if overpowered, destroy ii and fall
back According to the skilliulness OF the
moves this object is attained or defeated. An
umpire decides the fact Of victory for either
side
