Fulton Colville's Letter and Col. wad.

pulCOn OOlVlleB Letter ana Col. WaQ.
delps Reply.
The Colville garnishment proceedings
were given added interest last night by
letter printed by Fulton Colville
in the Atlanta Constitution, in reply to
Col. Waddell's statement that that there is
nothing in the claim of Mrs. A. Colville, in
which he makes violent attack upon Col.
Waddell. The following are extracts from
the letter:
Editor Constitution: In to-day's paper no.
tice that Col. John o. Waddell says there is
nothing in the claim of Mrs. A. Colvine, who
against him and upon which process Of garnish-
ment was served upon Gov. w. ].
Northen, 10 order to seize the salary
ing president of the Georgia Agricultural
Society That is in substance blackmailing
scheme. He may be correct about there being
nothing IN lt--tor IT we obtain anything it will
be more than any of his unnumbered creditors
have been able to do within the past fifteen
years.
Col" waddell owes this debt, having given
his notes, which are unpaid. The colonel
says the records will show this debt settled.
Toe records will show nothing of the
kind; or, If they do, they. have been
tempered with. Colonel Waddell
give the public statement of it. The col
onel" will do nothing Of the sort. Idefy him to
do SO.
Col. Waddell was seen last night about
the letter, and he said: 81 have not seen the
communication in the Constitution, nor the
paper containing 1t. If the communication
Is as reported. the advice Of many wise and
prominent friends here, given me unsought,
Is that the nature and character
of the article will not justify any
gentleman in answering it. The telegram
sent me yesterday from my home county,
signed by prominent gentlemen who know
me and the author of that article, and
which was printed in to-day's MORNING
NEWS, conclusively settles in my favor the
punishment matter. promise to as fully
vindicate myself in the new charge he
brings to-day, by the testimony of as good
and well-known men as can be found in
Georgia. The fact that am
busy with the affairs of the
convention, the further fact that the train
bearing the delegates who came in to-day
did not arrive, nor did / see them and learn
OF this matter until just at the time for the
assembling of the night session, and the
further fact that friends, whose wisdom
and wishes respect, so advise, will prevent
me from taking any further present notice
Of the author than to begin, at the first
possible moment, steps to prove the utter
falsity Of all his charges.n

TIE STEAMER KATIE SUNK.
Stranded on a 5G1dbar Sixteen Nile
Up the silver.

I
Up the biver.
The steamer Katie sank yesterday morn
| ing at O'Clock, about sixteen miles up the
river and half a mile this side Of the
Charleston and Savannah railway bridge.
There Is no known cause for her sinking
except that she became strained and her
butts and top sides opened, causing
her TO Leak She left her wharf
about l o'clock yesterday morning
heavily loaded with a miscellaneous
freight, consisting Of bulk goods manly,
such as guano in sacks and boxes Of bacon.
She was, it is said, loaded down no more
than usual, but she had to make her way up
the river against a strong tide, which caused
her, no doubt to strain more or less.
About 800 bags of guano we're Jettisoned,
and the steamer was run on the saudbar
about SIX miles this side Of Purys-
burg. She had very few pas.
sengers aboard aud there was little
on the sandbar she blew her whistle for as
sistance for considerable length Of time,
which was heard distinctly at Purysburg,
six miles away.
Purssr Wells and the pilot came to the
city in a rOwboat, arriving here yesterday
morning about o'clock, and after securing
the steamer Pr gress left on her for the
wreck at ii o'clock.
The Katie now lies on the sand bank,
with her lower hull covered a little above
deck. Her machinery and all the top
hamper are entirely clear Of water, although
the river is very high.
The Ethel, which got in last night about IL
o'clock, reported the Progress alongside Of
the stranded steamPr. The Ethel's captain
also rendered the assistance OF his boat, but
it was declined. Col Lawton, the owner of
the Katie, is away In the country, and
Agent Medlock is also out of town
attending the funeral OF his wife. 1t is
more than likely that the sunken vessel is
not badly damaged, and as soon as the high
water in the river subsidies the hull will be
out OF water, when she can be easily raised
after being pumped out.
