Tribute to Those Who Pursued the Engine Thieves   {on the Western & Atlantic RR}
   We have before us a paper signed by a number of the best citizens of Kingston, in which they pay a well merited tribute to the unflagging energy of Wm. A. Fuller, A. Murphy, J. Cain, C. A. Smith and Wiley Harbin, in the pursuit of the engine-stealing bridge-burners. The men who have signed this paper were eye-witnesses -- some participating in the chase -- and say that language would fail to express the just need of praise to the exertions of each and all these men; and they especially commend Mr. Fuller to Governor Brown and the people of Georgia for the unusual energy and good judgment displayed by him, which they say has saved the State perhaps three millions of dollars -- looking at the subject in no other than a pecuniary light.
   This paper is signed by the following gentlemen:
N. Gilreath Samuel Sheats
Jarvis Maxwell Issiah Cox
A. R. Hudgins T. V. Hargis
A. Fuller N. H. Eady
T. R. Couch E. V. Johnson
Sidney Johnson Randall Ramsey
Wm. P. Elliott S. T. Parker
Uriah Stephens Hillary Miller
A. Fountain
