The Election Bill.
The infamous Akerman Election hill
a synopsis of which we give in another
column, has passed both Houses of.
‘our Legislature and will no doubt
Receive the speedy signature of Gov.
Bullock. By this -act 'of Legislation
the door for every kind of fraiAii imag
inable, has been .thrown wide open, and
the Radical party in this State will ea
gerly avail • itself of its provisions, to
fecure a conti; u ince ol power in the
Legislature for “another term at least,
if; not for a number of years to come.
In this crisis, it behooves the conserv
ative citizens of the State to use every
fair means tocounteract the pernicious
iirHiI'enceS which this sort of legislation
is* bringing to bear upon our colored
population. Concert of action in the
Conservative ranks is now a prime ne
cessity, and by this means, many evils
may be averted. Let moderate coun
sels and action during election time pre-
ntail, and though the Akerman' bill is
designed to bring on a collision between
'the races in this State, let it "bo the first
duty of every conservative citizen, to
be conservative indeed, conservative in
speech, conservative in -action,.and by
this means ensure a victory in the ap
proaching election.
The Atlanta, and Savannah Bail
Road-
We alluded in a late number of tills
paper, to' this projected work, which we
regard of perhaps more real importance
to Georgia, than two thirds of those
recently chartered by the Legislature.
Asking 1 not one"'eent 0 f aid from the
State. Why should it not be chartered?
We had intended to write at lengeth up
on the subject but the following which
we clip from the Savannah Advertiser,
expresses our views so well that with
some slight alteration in the Board of
Corporators, we adopt the if.
One of the most important measures
designed to build up Georgia’s seaport
is the railroad to connect Savannah with
the 1 great Northwestern, through line.
Bully appreciating this necessity, - : the
friends of Savannah have not been
sleeping when the Legislature of the
State was on the giving hand, as far as
charters for railroads are concerned. A
A bill was .drafted some six weeks ago,
by Colonel Capers, and introduced into
the Legislature, chartering a road from
u , i x j . *-V- _ P, * T t. -Ar«r-
lanta.o . Ibis ; ro.adr, it is claimed justly,
will shorten the distance.betwen Savan
nah and Atlanta some sixty odd miles,
and will certainly place us in direct com
munication with Nashville, Louisville
and Cincinnati., - - - !l ;
Whatihas surprised us is to be in
formed-of the violent opposition ‘ which
the charter has met with in the lower
house of the Legislature. The bill char
tering the road does not ash for a dollar
of “State aid," and someliavo suggested
that as it stood alone in not thus seek
ing to tax the people for the aggran
dizement of a few, it was unpopular
with those who have been getting their
thousand per mile on imaginary roads
which are intended to build up imagi
nary cities. The true secret of the
opposition springs from the old Bourbon
spirit of the Georgia railroad, and from
the grasping monopoly known as the
Mac.o.n and Western railroad. There
is not a single argument—a reai good,
honf.st?Gedrgin argument— i-n atiyof it.
The fact is. as far seaports are concern
ed, the Georgia railroad is a Charleston,
South Carolina, establishment, and in
its opposition to this effort to build a
straight line, Connecting-Savannah with
the. West,,is only making another strike
9t the' Georgia seaport,to; help on her
jealpusyri.vak ofVotber days. Now, we
believe ih - living and let live. It is a
good, charitable maxim, and we com
mend it to those Charleston gentlemen
yyho are tQ be found lobbying about
the Georgia Legislature. Our friends
are to the manor born, and true, and
wedo hope, with all and every influence
tha^eaa be brought to bear, our gallant
Culonelwill -win the fight; and that
Atlanta and Savannah will soon shake
hands over a road designed to help the
capital and the metropolis of our great
State.
, Sutely after chartering a road from
Macon to Barnwell, - S. G.,- which we
aige informed was concocted in Charles
ton, and-isVevideptly a reach towards
the cotton belt of Georgia, the Legisla
ture will not fail to grant a charter to a
road which is solely in the interest of
the State they profess to represent. A
great cry has been raised against the
road because it is claimed by persons,
who do not know what they profess to
assert, that it is another link i f the Cen
tral Rarilroad. „Now this is all bun
combe, and is teriseless even if it was
true. f
The corporators are gentlemen living
along the line of the proposed road, or
whose property is located there and in
Atlanta, vizi H. D Capers, J. N. Gil-
lnore, T. J. Smith, T. F. Newell, R. U.
llpmber, D. T S ngleton, R. B. Nesbit,
j A. Etheridge, Reuben Jordan, Geo.
W. Wyley, J. E. Brown, J. D. Pope,
J. F. Henderson, J. M. Pace, J. P Har
ris and Norcross & Raw son. The road
is independent of the Central, and even
if it was not the charge of monopoly
is all staff Thp Central rRpilfcoa&ehftr-
ges less for freight and passenger’ trav
el than any road in the Stat<J. Except
the dead head business of the i State
Road, it is below the., lowest fate of
charge. , ,. }};
; We are in a state of earnest expec-
ii . iu. .u .. ettb' ■ 1 a,. - •
how much good is to be done for Sa
vannah in a material character solely.
The uill chartering the road bas pass
ed the House, and is now before the

Day of Atonejnent.
To day is ^celebrated by our Jewish
Fellow Citizens, as “the Day of Atone
ment” which is a strict Fast Day, found
ed upon Leviticus XXIII, v 27 to 38.
So universaley, is this day observed,
by the follower o£ the Mosaic faitlq
all -over the world, that be he orthodox
or reformed, he will engage in no world
ly pursuit, but devote the day to fast
ing and prayer.
In the larger cities the Synagogues
are thronged with the faithful Isrealites
of every Nationality, and in those places
where no Synagogues exist, they will
assemble at. the private house of a mem
ber of th ; faith, and there recite the
Prayers and Psalms prescribed from
time immemorial for this occassion.
In our town, Services were held last
night and will be continued to-day at
the residence of Mr. P. Happ; who
with his characteristic liberality has
placed: his ; parlor at the disposal of his
Jewish Fellow citizens of this place
and the adjoining counties, who have
assembled : io' celebrate the'day, in their
fme honored’manner. ’
In litis connection, we copy from the
New York Herald, the following re
factions, proceeding a description of
the celebration of New Year day, as
observed in the city of New York on
the 26th of last month :
The Jews have often been said to be
a remarkable people, and this judge
ment of them is certainly a very just
one. Considering their present con
dition in ti e world, and tracing back
their history into antiquity more re
mote than the accounts of any other
civilized nation, living or dead extends,
we find that there is and bas ever been
some invisible band that closely unites
them all over the world — a band
which no difference of language or of
the nationality of the country of their
birth, no difference of rank, wealth or
■ intellectual refinement, no harshness
of the persecuting hand of relentless
fanatics, could ever break nor even
jiminish its force. The cause, for this
is indeed an interesting subject for the
study of the philosopher and historian.
It may have been, and perhaps was,
that the very persecution, the never-
ending suffering, the increasing trials,
which the Jews underwent wherever
their steps led them, became that firm
ly wrought chain, stronger than steel
could make if, which, even unto this
day of,-enlightenment, binds them to
gether, tiiid makes a suffering Jew in
Rournania or Russia thesuffering broth
er of all the Jews in America. It may
Have been, and perpaps it truly was,
this very persecution to which the Jews
have been subjected for nearly two
thousand years which taught 'them to
as sometihing peculiar to themselves
and unknown to their persecutors at
the time, in which to find a stream of
thought and communication common to
themselves only, ’and freighted with
their holiest, their religion.

[From the Gbristian Standard, (Cin ) Aug. 27.
Elder Daniel Hook, M. D.
It is with mingled joy and grief that
I record the death of this eminent and
good man. When I think of his suf
ferings here and of sweet rest there, I
rejoice for .the change; but when I re
flect up,on the losssustained by his fami
ly, hisji tends, and especially his breth
ren, sorrow fills my heart.
Dr. Hook was the oldest and most
prominent preacher of the Christian
Church in Georgia. He was l'nderitifi-
ed with the;cause of primitive Chris
tianity in the days of the early strug
gles for its restoration—in the times
which tried men’s souls. Few of this
generation can appreciate the strength
of faith, the accuracy of knowledge,
and the heroism of soul, which were
necessary to our fathers in breasting
the current of opposition which they
encountered. Times have changed.
We have grown numerically strong;
the opposition has become intrinsically
feeble. Here and there an adventu
rous or wity foe may attempt to sap or
undermine onr stronghold of Scripture
and logic, but he numbers who have
the, temerity to assail it directly are
daily becoming fewer. And even
these make their assaults with fear and
and trembling. They do not them
selves believe 1 in the charges that they
make.
But it was not ever thvs. Dr. Hook
and his contemporaries met and repell
ed earnest men ; men who verily
thought within themselves that they
ought to do many tiling • against us;
that our position was groundless, and
our doctrine pernicious; and that they
were serving God and humanity in pul
ling us down. They failed, signally
failed. Nay, many of them are now,
like Paul,’preaching the faith which
once destroyed. But honor, all honor
to the men who stood firm amid the
storm. And of these, : the suhj ct of
this notice deserves a, prominent place.
TV TVinVl Tiook was born in the
State of Maryland, April 6, 1794.
He was trained in the sciiool of Epis-
copalianism. lie catne to Georgia a
young man, settled in Jefferson Coun
ty, where lie remained for several years
in the successful practice of his profes
sion While there he providentially
got hold of some of the writings of
Alexander Campbell, which directed
his mind into such a course of study
and reflection as influenced his whole
subsequent life. An intelligent Bap
tist minister by themameof Huff con
seuled lu baptize him upon a simple
profession of his faith in the Christ,
and the Baptist church oj which Mr.
Huff was pastor received him into its
communication without other condition
or stipulation. It'eVett licensed him to
preach, with the distinct understanding
that he would have nothing to do with
human creeds or confessions of faith.
After laboring in this field fqr a con
siderable time, and so leaving the
churches with the simple Gospel as to
excite tire opposition of sOme of the
watchful conservators of" usage and
orthodoxy, lie removed in 1832 to
Richmond Connty, near the city of
Augusta, and subsequently into to the
city itself. Twice has this city been
visited with the scourge of yellow fev
er.- The • first time was in 1839, Dr.
Hi.ok was living at the time in the
country, but upon the breaking out of
the fever he came, at the risk-of his life,
into town, to give his professional ser
vices to the afflicted. The eriiittence
of his skill in the treatment of this
disease is almost without a parallel
Out of 200 cases treated by him, he
lost but two. Unhappily he was nim-
self attacked with the fell disease be
fore his wrok was finished, but by the
mercy of God the same treatment
which had proved so successful in the
case of others was equally tfficacieus
in his own. He was spared.
Settling permanently in the city, be
was elected to its chiel magistracy -for
two years, and with other honors and
emouqments, his life, secularly speak
ing already successful. - But there was
a higher life to Jive, a better suceesarlo
gain. • < Y f
He and Biro, and Sister Cornfield,
whb still are spared to us, excluded
from the Baptist Church for cornming
with a littie band of Disiples in Savan
nab—as pure and good as ever lived—
organized as a. church, meeting,'- and
breaking bread in private bouses, and
preaching the-Word to all, ‘both in
public and in private, as they had op
portunity. Such was.the origin of the
Christian Church in Augusta. It came
up out of great tribulation. -Its infan-
cy was consecrated by prayers and
tears and- sufferings. Its ; young life
was directed.by Jaithfulness tp God,
and by self-denial.andiself-sacrifice for
His sake. Its first, pastor has been
surpassed by none of his successors in
the breadth and -depth of his knowl
edge of God’s word, in the fidelity and
accuracy of his teachings, 101 iu the
beauty and consistency i; of,, h is exenr.-;
plary life.
In 1852 be removed to Atlanta, and
devoted many years’ to the work of an
evangelist—traveling over every part
lina, preaching-ihe word. He wffs a
good preacher.-t-In his prime and un
der favorable circumstances few could
surpass him; ’ He wrote also a good
deal, and wrote well. Much of the
success of the Christian Union, publish
ed in this city in 1856, was due to his
facile and able pen, and es;>ecially to
his counsel and direction as senior edi
tor.'
The labors of his active and useful
life closed several years ago. God had
enabled him to illustrate-the character
of a faithful Christian worker; itremain-
ed only to crown his honorsiby permit-
tinghim, alsOj to illustrate the sweet
ness and gentleness of a patient Chris
tian sufferer. In all these years of ago
nizing pain, It'S example has taught to
those about him, what his lips had often
so eloquently preached, the supporting
power and consolation of Che G > pc'.
A-t last, on the 27th of July, lb70. Ins
Father said : It is enough. Come up
higher Enter thou into the j >ys of thy
Lord.
He fell asleep at the hutt.-e of his
daughter, Mrs. Col. Howell, near A.-
lanta, with his children and most of
his grandchildren around him. After
such words of comfort and improve
ment as I was able to sp ak from lie
dying retrospect and prospect of Paul
—ril have fought a good fight;-! have
finished my course; I have kept the
faith; henceforth there is laid up for
me a crown of righteousness which the
Lord, the righteous judge, will give me
in that day;’—we laid his remains
awaj/fin & quiet and beautiful grove—
far from the noise and strife of tl e busy
world—asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep!
Bro. Hook leaves a wife, three chil
dren and numerous grandchildren to
mourn his loss. But they sorrow not
as those who have no hope ; and they
are able to acquiesce with Christian
cheerfulness in the will af their Sav
iour. r J. S. L.

From Virginia.
Richmond, September 30. Superin
tendent Kates, of the Western Union
Telegraph lines, telegraphs this rnorn-
ingthat a number of buildingsat Lynch
burg have been swept away and both
gas at d water works are submerged.
Houses from the country above have
been floating by all the morning and
during the night. The new iron
bridges of the S <uth Side Railroad
were eartisl away this morning.
The highest freshet ever known
there is prevailm.Tat Lynchburg. The
passenger bridge across James River,
a quarter of a mile long was washed
away last night. The depffis of the
Orange & Alexandiia R lilro.id and the
Virginia-& Tr-nnes«ee‘ R iilroad are
submerged.- The canal is submerged
and the buats tire going about over the
tow path and through the lower streets
of the city'. The water waslthd up the
main gas pipe, and at elevtih o’clock
last night Lynchburg was suddenly
thrown into total darkness. A’ large
number of employees on the Soulhside
Railroad are cut off on an island be ow
tile city. Tire freshet will reach Rich
mond about two o’clock to-day,'and
the river here has aircAdy risen' afoot.
The merchants are busy in the lower
portion . or ‘the city removing then
goods'in time. "The telegraph lines are
down in all directions.
The flood reached here a' 12 : 30 ir.
a wave five feet, and in twenty minutes
the rivt-r rose six feel. Tnere is great
excitement in the lower part of the city,
and the p.opli ate r> moving their
goods from places accessible to the wa
ter. Tiit Orange Hotel and the Or
ange and Alexandria Railroad bridges
at Lynchburg, were swept away this
mot ning.
A ti legram from Gordonville says
the Rivana river is flooding all the
surrounding country, and that houses,
barrels of flour and cattle have been
washing down stream all the morning.
The news from Gordonvilie to-day
saytbp acdounts ’that come in from the
floo.d are more "and more disastrous.
The Oranga arid Alexandria Railroad
bridge over Rockfish river is repotted
as swept away, and the bridge diver the
Rivana and Mppre’s creek on the Chesa
peake and Ohio Railroad is also gone.
Burley’s and Well’s two miiles are
both floating down the Rivana, with
400 barrels of flour floating around
them. A dwelling house, completely
furnished, went by this afternoon.
The Rivana is filled with debris of fur
niture, barns, agricultural implements,
crops, &e. All the crops on the low
grounds are a total loss. The telegraph
lines to Ly nchburg and the west are
badly damaged.
Vice-President Wyckham, of the
Cheasapcake & Ohio -Railroad, is be
tween Greenwood and Waynesboro’
with two trains of cars, unable to recede
or advance.
Superintendent Vanaergrift of the
Orange & Alexandria Railroad went to
the break at Moore’s Creek with a train
