THE DAILY TRUK UEOR “ GIAN WILL FIGHT IT OUT ON !„ 'CHE ACCEPT-THE-SITUATION aiMSB«b.a.to.o(»t .PLATFORM AT ALL HAZARDS. •AT ANY COST, AND THROUGH ALL SEASONS. The editor of that pojier is also blatant about hia Democracy, and tries to make superficial readers believe that he is a very chevalier Bayard in toe cause—sane puer et sane repreehe—and that ta the espe cial keeping of him and his so-called True Georgian, has been confided all that the Democratic party of Georgia hold sacred now, or hope for in the future 1 Now, some of ns in Georgia who did not act with the Radical jxirty in iis palmy days, as well as some of ns Who did not nominate Grant for or play the extreme part: san in aid of Bullock's election, do not altogether appreciate this new fledged Democracy whiqh has just sprang up in our bailiwiok; and it is upon this point I seek information. If I am corr*ct!y informed, this great Ajax of the True Georgian, but recently coming here from the far-off Territory of Idaho, was formerly the editor of the Nero Era newspaper, and as such aided as largely as any other man (Hulbert and Varney Gaskill excepted) in declaring our present Chief Magistrate to be elected; was in hill fellowship with the Radical party in all its actings and doings in unlawfully amending the National Constitution, and placing the whole civil establishment of Georgia under the control of ignorant negroes, car pet-baggers and corrupt political ad venturers, who have bankrupted the Treasury, made a mockery of the Ju diciary, demoralised labor, and dam aged our every material interest From a National stand-point, it may be said, that the mighty man of the True Georgian (so-called) was in zeal ous co-operation with a party whose record is even more injurious and damaging to the whole people. Suf fice it, that none of the old land marks have escaped its sacriligious touch; and the end is not yet A centralized despotism is what it fur ther seeks! This is toe situation briefly summed up; this is what Radicalism has accomplished, and what the edi tor of the True Georgian helped to accomplish. There has been no con cession by that party, it adheres to its l>a>t record—proposes to undo noth ing—but continues to press forward on its mission of ruin. And now, claiming to wear the ha biliments of Democracy, and before an intelligent community, with un blushing effrontery, the editor of the 7V«« (so-called) Georgian absolutely reiterates and endorses, in effect, all that he has said in past, and not only proposes himself to slick to all the dev ilment he has done as a partisan in the Radical ranks, but is counselling Democrats to do the same. If his “ accept-thc-situation ” plat form and' the * new departure ” do not mean just that, then I desire to_ he enlightened. We all understand the “ situation ”—there ie but one.— It has hung over us like a blighting shadow for more than five years. It costs a Radical nothing, to “ accept the situation,” therefore he does so at email expense; but I protest that it is a sacrifice of principle which no Democrat cannot afford to make. And one other point: In glittering capitals, at the head of tlie same col umn in which we find the “ accept- thc-situation ” creed of the True- Geor gian appear* to* name of a gallant gentleman in nomination for Gover nor in 1872. I am his friend. I sought to hare him elevated to that high position, whilst the editor of the True Georgian was attempting to drag him down, and befouling his fair fame with allusions of disloyalty. I foiled, while the editor of the True Georgian smd his party, through their ‘Wuurpand quick” tactics, succeeded, but the me*M reaorted to to secure tiieir sarmsi was believed to have been nuusual; and very many good people think it not altogether certain that in toa»dfy|oJ«liarp and quick practice that the man who its the most rotes will every time be lanAahtteA.. a What right the Turn Georgian has ho ssfitrtntr .the name of the gallant ordon with such a creed, and place editor of the True Georgian has, or ia a convert of the “new departure;” nor has any friend said it for ljin»! For one, I shall believe that Gen- Gor don’s name stands in an unauthorised attitude in the oolumns of the True Georgian until otherwise informed; and for his sake let me hope that it will prove so, if iu 1872 he hopes to get the vote of A Dkmockat. The Roau Commercial am Its Live limes af the day. The Southerner <t Commercial of the 23d inst., under the caption of “ What we believe,” quotes With warm approval from Hon. John G. Carlisle of Kentucky, who is now Democratic caudidate for Lieutenant Governor of that State, and sums ap some of his points as follows: The Hon. John G. Carlisle, the Dem ocratic candidate for Lieutenant Gover nor of Kentucky, dissent* from the new departure platform adopted by the Ohio Convention. • ♦ • # • Mr. Carlisle holilly, honestly and fear lessly announces liis opposition to tha sentiment of the reeolutiona promulgated by that Convention. He seys the ques tions arising from these Amendments are the "livest" of all the Uve issue* of the day; that resolutions of conventions can not kill the issues, and cast th-»«n hell among the debris of political blunders, but that they will live and exercise, ss they should, a great oontroKng influence on the political campaigns of the fnture. Further, that instead of these resolu tions having the effect to remove from discussion, the issues pronounced dead, will only serve to bring them more prom inently before the people. Whenever the Democratic party consents to drop these issue*, they will commit a grievous fault, and grievously will they atone for it in the surrender of every right and priv ilege guaranteed to them a* citizens of a State.

They are more alive to-day than they were when first made a part of the Constitution. And the following pointed and forciable remark* of Hr. Carlisle are quoted by the Commercial: The circumstances under whioh the** wrongs were perpetrated, instead of jus tifying and excusing them, greatly ag gravate them, in my opinion. I hold that no motive, however patriotic it may be, actually or professedly, oan sanotify a result obtained by force and fraud.— The whole oountry know* that theca amendments, or two of them at any rate, were procured by such mean* as would vio late any contract, however solemn; and there is not, iu my opinion, a Democrat in Ohio or elsewhere, who would deliberately assert to the oontraryt They (the amendments) are basedAipon a false theory of our original aywtanr of government; end if the other provhdont of the Constitution are to be warped to suit them, the doctrine tf State rightee in all its length and breadth will be com pletely destroyed.

Their engraftnlOnt bn" the Constitution was a direct, and in tended to be, a vital blow at State right*. Mr. Carlisle illustrated this question very plainly. He lives end aoto Democracy, pure, while the new departure and all kindred factions and issues are bastards. The action of the Ohio convention in passing these resolutions was an abao- mocracy for a questionable policy.

The Augnsta Chronicle it Sent inst says: The frightful ravages of in sanity among Radical office-holders is one of the most alarming features presented to the public attention. Wo had beoome accustomed to too plea of lunacy as an excuse for mnrder, but we were hardly prepared to learn that the increasing hand of government defaulters had brought it into requi sition. One McCartney, Superinten dent and Disbursing offioor of the Post Office Department, managed to appropriate some I3U.U00 or 840,000, and we now learn that the unfortu nate man. committed this sequestra tion of the nation’s money in a fit of delirium which rendered him unable to discriminate between his own. mi, riey and that ef others. Singularly enough, toe predecessor of McCart ney, whose name was Olinstead, was unfortunately afflicted in the same manner a year ago, and in his crazi ness embezzled about 865,000 of the public money. It ii highly probable that Williams, the New York pension nt, who disappeared with some IJXK) of the .people’s money the other day, was fo insane as to be un accountable for his actions, and the Federal authorities seemed to take the same view of all these cases,'for they have not attempted to. take* advan- tage of the sureties of these unfortn- nates. . Grass’s Prospects. A Washington letter in the Balti more Sun says: “ Whatever may be. appearances on the surface, it Is not at all likely that General Grant will be renominated by the Republicans.

On the contrary, _ ' " * those whe know best conjecture that no matter Whether it be the Greeley and Fenton wing or that of Conklin and Mnrphy, in either case it will not ultimately be for Grant It is much more likely, in the latter event, to be for Seward or some new man. On last Tuesday, at Mobile, Ala bama, Admiral Franklin Buchanan was the recipient of a most pleasing testimonial “of the high estimation in which he is held ami the feeling* towards him” of the Alabama Depart ment of toe Life Association of America. Tlie Admiral, until lately, filled the important position of man ager and Secretary of the Department, but has recently severed hie oonner- ion with toe Life Aareriation, pre- uratory to returning to his Maryland some.

If yon would, then put forth your eh ernes. Do not waste vonr time in idleuess and vain wishes, nor your strength upon trifles. Do not throw away your time and money in liar- rooms and dram-shops, nor your mon ey and manhood upon loose women. “For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty, and idleness shall clothe a man with rugs ;” and the strange woman’s “house inclineth unto death,” and her paths unto the dead. None that go uuto her return again, neither take they hold of the [»ths of life. First, strive to establish a character for voracity, probity, sobriety and en ergy.

Do not try to lieeome learned, rich qr great in a day or u year. Solid learning, wealth and greatness are plants of slow growth. I have seen a giant oak—monarch of the forest—that hud maintained s steady growth for a century. Thai mighfv tree was once no longer than your linger and no larger than a lady’s bodkin. I have seen the Chattahoo chee flowing in its majesty, broad and ileep enough to float the'navies of a continent; and I havo seen the same stream issue from the earth, far up the mountain's side, a tiny rill, that I could dam up with my foot. Yet, that tiny rill, never standing still, grows as it flows, AND FLOWS AS IT GROWS, until, swelling into the majestic riv er, it beoome* a blessing to countless thousands of sentient beings. And I said: “Youngman, imitate that oak. Ever keep growing.— Strike your roots deep. Hold up your 'head. Be strong in principle, in in tegrity and fixeduess of purpose, and trusting in a kind Providence, brave the blasts of adverse fortune, and the furious storms of life that often np- s«t and prostrate men of faint heart* and weak principles.

There is but partial if any improve ment in the prospects of our crops. We have never seen so much grass that we remember.—Dai abridge Ar gus. The rains continue almost their daily visits. We hear considerable complaint among the farmers that the cqm is being fast affected with a yel low oolor.— Thomaeton Herald.

Tlie farmers have taken advantage of sunahiue of the past few days, and a very effective warfare has lieen wag ed U)ion General Green. Some cot ton which was considered hopelessly overrun, lias been cleaned out, but much of it was past redemption. It was feared that u sudden cessation of the long ooutinued rains would dam age the corn; but Providence has fa vored our section with occasional rains, whioh have kept thie crop in splendid growing condition.

Planters had a good time fast week, but these heavy rains bring back the grass to life again and their hopeful lal*ir accomplished but little good. A half crop of cotton is now iilmut the highest estimate, and many do not hope for so much.—Al bany Xewe. With the favorable weather of the last two weeks, crops in this section liave greatly improved and the faces of farmers under the additional cir- 'umstances of a cheering advance in cotton, look about two feet shorter than they did a short time ago, when ■rope were hud. ami grass worse. But the hattle with Gen. Green is still raging, and reinforcements for the farm are loudly demanded.

The cotton crop Is poor ; stand very poor; and a great deal of that which is left is dying from attack of lioe. The grass, too, ia spread ing iUfelf whero it has room to spread, olaiming s large shore of the fertility of the soil. The oat crop is being gathered; that has been damaged by the rest, and in some places it has fallen down from tbe effects of rain and wind." One week of drv weather interrup ted by a delightful shower, has given new lift' and vigor to farming opera tions. The grass has been piled liigh up in the middle during the last few day*.

Notwithstanding the rust a large quantity of oats will lie mode. Planters talk about 18 to 20 cent* for their next cotton crop.— There will lie a poor yield from lx)t- tom lands this year.— Talbotton Stan dard. At no time since tho termination of the war between the States have the prosiieets of the ftiture appeared more promising for onr people than at this time. The feverish excite ment consequent upon tile overthrow of our lalior system and the destruc tion of property values which bred a rashness of risking everything to re trieve, have given place to calm and calculating plans. Many men who left their plantations for cities to em bark in commercial ventures have re turned to their first love. Many planters who have been overcropping for the [last year*, depending Hjion luck for success, have thi* season wisely laid their plans according to their’moans. From every portion of onr State the gratifying information reaches us that an abundant corn and provision crop will l* made. The milt crop is a lionntiftil one, and will bring » large sum of money into the State. Colton, it is true, is book- ward and looks poor, and the area planted in Georgia fully fifteen per eeut less than tliat of lost year. But and Pari, there is really little to it is too early to predict a failure to any extent of that crop. The prices ruling now have given planters re- . Hewed hope and energv, and th^pros- pect is vijry good for the next Jenson opening ot 18 to SO cents. The smtd- ler crop will then bring a larger total' l tun than the large crop of last Belt, ) eon. Iu addition to the reasons givgn . above, as to the prospects ahead of »; is the fact, as we learn from the cot ton footers ih onr citv, that planters as a class have not asked for naff the , amount of advances this season that they required last year; they have managed with less than half they bought in 1870, and. that half has icon purchased at ftillv a third lest tte than paid last year. With An ■ bundanee of home-raised provisions, Jiniiaratively smulljidvunccs to liqui date, and the prospect of getting a air price for their cotton, they have ause to look forward with hope of Otter days.—Augusta Conetituliou- r ists.

We tender our congratulations to tho bride and groom, and wish them a long and happy union.—Chronicle ik Sentinel, 25th. Wo were informed last Saturday, by a gentleman, who says lie has tlio names of ten men, who went boldly aud undisguised last week to tho house of a widow lady, living in Webs- t< v county, and demanded of her to ti ll where that money was, or they would kill her. It seems that sho was to have received *6,out), as a leg acy from relatives, about that time, but it had not come to hand. So they failed to make her tell where it, alter which they blindfolded her, and s< arched every corner of the house, but finding nothing but a few old pipers, Deeds, notes, etc., they put her in a wagon, and carried her to a justice of the peace, who it seems was in league with them, and told her if she did not give them a deed to her lnad and all she owned,that tliev would kill her; which she did. This is the boldest robbery, we have lately heard, of; and should meet with speedy pun ishment. We learn that the old lady was in only moderate circumstance*; and with the exception of a grown daughter living entirely alone, quiet and harmless. These men, who live in the neighborhood, heard of the ♦6.000 she was to come in possession of, and took this means to get it.— They are all well known, and are as yet at large. If they are not arrested and punished, what use is law. Wo since learn that the old lady is tlie mother-in-law of Mr. J. Kaufman of Florence.—Lumpkin Telegraph. No better evidence is wantod of tho popularity of tho proposition to change the place for holding the next State Fair, than the fact that about ♦6,000 have been snbscrilied by onr citizens to carry it out within the fast two days. It is now a foregone con- elusion that the change will be made, and onr citizens never did a wiser thing for themselves, their children and the city, than to thus lilierally sustain the movemeut. It is not solely to prepare the Central Trotting Park grounds for holding the State Fair that the present subscriptions of money are being made. Indeed, tho Fair is of minor importance, for it , will last hilt oue week, and be held but once a year; but after the vakfc throng of visitors have departed, the various improvements to be uiado up hi the grounds, the buildings, lbiiu- tai is, beautiful walks, etc., eta, will remain to our citizens for they enjoy ment and recreation at all times.— They will all be tho pixqierty of the city’and all surplus moneys arising from the use of the ground's or build ings by private parties, will he appro priated to the further improvement and ornamentation of the Park, and thus iu a few years it can bo made oue of the lovelieal spots in the South.— Nature has already accomplished ludf tho work, ami it now onlyre- mains for us to do tho reet. Tho „ grounds are a dead level, skirted on . one side by the Ocmulgee river, on another by the Macon and Augusta Railroad, and on the other by two majestic and beautiful groves or trees. Already a beautiful race track, which will rennirebut little laborer expenate to put it in splendid order, is on tfflf grounds, and there is really notfiiiig to bo done for holding tlie Fair, aside from the necessary buildings to ba erected, which we are sure our live, enterprising and energetio young Mayor will put up so rapidly, that it will make some old fogies, heads swim to witness it This change ofloca-... lion will double, if not treble, tho aw*r teuduuce at the Fair, npon wlurtib • would have been at the laboratory.—."
