/ GEORGIA WEEKLY OPINION THE WEEKLY OPINION. BY W. L, 8CRUGQB AND ». B. DOUBLE. WEI >N RED AY MORNING, OCTOBER 2. TUB EMUTJS AT BAYAHRAU. The late disgraceful attempt on the part •of the mulatto Bradley and others,to Incite Hl-fecllii# ami strife between the freedmen and their former masters In Hrvannnh abouJi] be a warning to certain J>arties In this section. We pity the poor Ignorant freedmen who become the pliant tools of such men, and thereby become the uneon- ftcloiis instrument* of their own destruction. Nor U Bradley alone In this hellish scheme for the butchery and extermination of the colored race. We have In Georgia a class of adventurers, of both races, who have nothing to lose by a continual state of dis order; and these seek to provoko a war of races, and to turn tho South into a Pande monium, ns the only means of keeping themselves before the public; and In the lio]>e of being able to realize something from the spoils of civil war. Unprinci pled white men—without character, with WHAT TBBH1 The Millcdgeville Union grants that a Constitutional Convention of the State wlU lie held, and asks, “ What then ” ? It demands of the supporters of the Military Reconstruction Bill wfuit they then pro pose? We propose nothing beyond a strict com pliance with the provisions of the Act and its Supplements. But this acceptance should bo real, full, complete anil In good faith. Having thus compiled with the terms of readmisslon, in letter and In spirit, we have an abiding faith that Georgia will he promptly admitted to representation, and to all the other rights and privileges of the Union. If she Is not, then the ouus will bo upon others. We will have discharged our duty; after which, treachery on tho part of Congress uml those whom it represents, cannot fill to place us in tho kioiit before the eyes of the world, and thenceforth the Republican party will he powerless for good or evil. We have everything to gain and nothing to lose by this course. If we arc admitted Into the family of the Union, we may rightfully claim all Its privileges ns guar- out local habitation, and without any In- the CoD.tUutIon-rlKhU and non with the,ample of Geor- PrtvH«K« which wo now have not, because rercst In common gla—are engaged In stirring up ill-fecllng and strife, by misrepresenting facts, ami . appealing to the lowest passion* of an Ig norant and Impressible class of our popu lation. Snell fellows as Bradley. " the col ored lawyer from Mas.-nchiisotts." and doe Williams, the “colored orator Iroiit Ten- 1 ■lessee,- aided and altered by a more - rc- ipcctable ” si>eclc.s of pedantic epotiters, of whom Ben Hill Is chief, tire responsible for that bitterness and distrust among our people which may yet culminate In civil •war. The more considerate and honorable class of both races, and all parties, look upon these mischief-makers as their com mon enemy, and heartily pity those Ignor ant but well meaning freedmen,[and excit able and unreflecting white inoit, who be come tho dupes uf tiiese reckless adven turers. Out or SIon-ky— 1 The funds raised, by certain adventurers throughout the North ern States, twelve months ago.

Wo bear of fresh “risings” In Ireland and fresh alarms In England, with corresponding movements of English troops. One would think, says the Now Vork Times, that by this time the real nature of the Fenian swindle would have become ' apparent, even to the servant girls who have been .the most profusely bled by Us tenders. But there seems to ho no limit to the credulous confidence of the Irish. Only tell them you are going to liberate “Otthl Ireland,” and they’ll contribute their last dollar, and never ask what Is done with It afterward.' Tho fall elections, moreover, are close at hand, and a rebellion or two on paper, Judiciously managed, may be of service In the matter of votes. A largo lairtion of tho people lovo to ho hum bugged. and of course they are accommo' dated. ANNOYANCE* OF RaII.UOAD Thavf.l. One of tho annoyances to which pooplo are subject on rnllrods is the cllckoty-clack all the tlmo making itself hoard ahovo tho rumble of tho wheels and tho snorting of tho engine, and any or all other noises combined. This Is a necessity, for it Is cashmcil by the wheels passing over the open points between the rails. Sometimes, the unevenness occasioned by one rail-end I icing above or below Its neighbor Increases this racket, but the open since Itself Is the main cause. Tills might ho remedied by a closer contact, but that the expansion of the Iron rails on a road, say, 500 miles In length, In a good hot summer’s day, will amount to nearly a quarter of a mile be yond tho extent to which tho samo rails will contract on a snapping cold day of winter. Without tho Joints there would lie a pretty state of things Wiio auk Most Agreeable.—Tho most agreeable of all companions Is a simple, frank nmn, without any high pretensions to an oppressive greatness; otto who loves life and understands the use of It; oblig ing alike at all hours; abovonll, of a gold en temper, and steadfast as an unclior. For such n one wo gladly cxchango tho great est genius, tho most brilliant wit, the pro- loundest thinker. Tub Max Wonsiiimms,— 1 The New York Times suggests that the committee having General Sheridan In clrnrge In Now York “strictly prohibit people from placing him on their shoulders mid carrying hint through the streets, as was done lit Balti more on Wednesday.” It adds: ••There can lie uo doubt that it was very gtiislicd soldier to lie treated In this way, and If there are any fools callable of in sulting him thus In Now York, they should instantly be taken In hand by the police or tho trustees of the asylum for Idiots,” tgr Nebraska votes for local officers In October. There are no prominent ques tions to enlist attention, and tho vote will probably be light. 0“ The lato General Griffin’s order re moving the Supreme Court Judges of Tex as has not been revoked, as has been here tofore stated. Mr. Bennett; of tho Now York Herald, Is trying to get back into the Associated Press. Uo finds It an expensive business running alone. Cotton in Muaedoeville—Thirty-flvo bales of cotton were sold In MlUedgevllle on Saturday at Horn 13*4 to UXc. wo are a conquered State, out of tbe Union, If we are rejected, our condition will be improved In that, that wo^hall then have the party so regoeting us lit great moral dis advantage. The human heart revolts at tin act of open and unscrupulous treache ry ; panic faith on the part of Congress would. In such an emergency, raise tip for us a host of friends among those who are now seemingly Indifferent toward us. let us, therefore, cease grumbling and bickering among ourselves, and work to- getlier earnestly, zealously,ami honestly to this common end. Much depends upon our action now. In our present status, we are growing poorer and more helpless every day. Without cither capital or skilled labor, ourgreat natural resources lie unde veloped, With these, wo would soon be come prosperous uml independent; but these mill not coinc so long ns wo remain In an uncertain and chaotic state. Every thing to buy. and nothing to sell beyond tiiat which will procure the bare necessi ties of life, our poverty and wretchedness must Increase In exact ratio with the time wo are deprived of the rights and privileges of Constitutional government. In tlgi namo of the suffering widows and orphans of this desolated and unhappy lnmi, wo appeal to gentlemen to lay aside their prejudices, to brood no longer over tbe mistakes and misfortunes of the past; but to comu forward with u will and determination and settle this question, and thus acquit themselves ns become brave and honorable tnen who do not cower be fore disappointment. Dnv Goods.—Tho business in dry goods during the past week has been only fairly active. Without any marked variations in prices, there has been a disposition mani fested to favor the purchaser In most de scriptions of cotton goods, particularly in the lower grades of sheetings, and in un bleached goods generally. Any attempt to force sales would doubtless lead to consid erable concessions of prices. Thu market has yielded to the extent of ltnlf a cent a yard bn an average; but tho finer qualities of brown goods tor bleaching are a shade licttcr. In bleached goods tho demand has been quite active, and there are no expectations of lower prices at —— accumulation of New York Mills are In good demand. Cot ton flannels are only In moderate request, ami drills are heavy. Corset jeans are in abundant supply, ami dull. Stripes and ticks are in less request. Denims und cot- tonadcs move slowly; heavy makes sell more freely than tho lighter grades. In prints of all descriptions there Is more liveliness than in any other description of goods, and tho stock on hand in first hands is smaller than It lias been In many years at this season, whllo the Jobbers are by no means overstocked. Many popular styles are sold delivery by tho agents of manu facturers in advauco of their production. Ginghams of the better styles are In good demand, and prices are firm. As a general rule, tho better description of all kinds of goods maintain prices better and are more freely taken than tho poorer grades, llollcd jaconets, sllcslas, mpl cam- bricks, both colored and blenched are in fair demand, and firm lit prices. Llnsoys exhibit a greater degree of activity than lost week, uml nil goods of a similar char acter are more inquired for. Tlio market for muslin do lntncs has Improved just in proportion to tho Improvement shown in tho styles of the goods offered. Our muu- ufoeturers are learning tho importance of milking their fobrics at least equal to the tastes and cultivated wants of the commu nity. All the various makes are In good demand. Pacific, Lowell, Hamilton, and Manchester de tallies sell readily at twenty- four cents. A new kind of goods called tho Boule vard skirt, made entirely of wool, and wovon without seams, have lately been In troduced. and bid fair to tako tho place of tho almost Indlsnensablo “Balmoral." The demand for shawls Increases with the season; and tho groat variety and ex- cxeellcnt quality of tho various makes— such as tho Waterloo, the Peacothtlc, and the Watcrvlict—give to these articles In creasing Importance. The trade In them s and woolen cloths tho de- -jes favorable, especially foi the cheaper qualitlos. The finer qualities of Italians are not so much required. The Importations of Italians from England are very heavy tho present season. Fancy easslmcrcs, cloakings, and coatings are in good request, at fair prices. Flannels sell readily, b — twilled, and at firm prices. The sales or blankets havo been large, without any ma terial modification of price, though there Is a tendency to a decline. In foreign goods there’ taut to notice—N. Y.B miscellaneous. ' Tho annual session of tho Virginia Con ference of tho Methodist Episcopal Church South, will commcnco In Petersburg, an tho loth day of November next. It does no't require a majority of all the -gistcred voters to ratify tho new Con- ttutlon; but only a majority of a majori- Sced wheat is In demand In Lynchburg, Va, at *XE0a*3 per bushel. Tub Comino Grbat Catholic Council. The Pope of Home has summoned a Grand Ecumenical Council to assemble shortly at St Peter'* Church, to deliberate upon grave matters connected with the tnterestsof that church. The New York Journal of Com- merer thus discourses regarding Its proba ble chief object: Tin- purpose is commonly Mleved to be the assertion. In the most solemn manner, of the Infallibility of thu church ns repre sented by tbe Bhliop* and ether dignita ries It. Us pstphl head. Tills Is an old doc trine of the Boman Catholic Church, the very foundation of Its power; but tlm ef fect of rc-nllirming it will be in all proba bility temporarily, at least, to strengthen the church. The dnginanf the mimin-nbite conception of the Virgin was one general ly entertained liy Catholic* for eentnrles, lint its promulgation in the form of a do. ercu in 1*5-J, though actually milling noth* lug new to the volume of Catholic doctrine, was not wItholit a visible effect iqjon the apparent prosperity of the church. The councils also stimulate the pride and confi dence of their appeals to the popular ad miration of power and magnificence. / gathering of Cardinals, Archbishops, Bish ops. und heads of orders front nil lauds and clinics, attired In their sacerdotal relics, seated In the grandest building ever erected by man, surrounded by all the objects of art which genius could contrive to minis ter to tbe sente of the mystic and wonder- fill. presents the most splendid and Impos ing spectacle conceivable. It Is a-type In ,tho most papable form of the tremendous, far-reaching authority of tho Boman Cath olic Church, of Its numbers. Its wealth, and the unquestionable obedience which binds its members to their common head at Home. IIaiiits of New York Millionaires. A New York corrcs|mndcnt of tho Boston Journal, in arecent communication to that paper, spoke as follows, In regard to A. T. Stewart, whose death has been announced In our telegraphic dispatches: A. T. Stewart works probably more hours than any mcchanlu or laboring man lu the Stuto. Ills vast business Is in his own hands. Uo consults nobody as to buying or selling. He has many partners, but tliey are partners In tho profits, ai ' not In the management of tho business. Ills system Is exacting, hut efficient. Ills tnen are all timed. If they ure late, if they overrun the time allowed for lunch, if they sit down during business hours, If they misdirect a bundle. Ifthey cat In the store, they ure fined. No person Is allowed to take a bundle ill the store unless tho “walk ing gentleman” marks it. No bundle leaves the store without being cxnmined. Mr. .Stewart is about the first man dow n in the morning, lie takes an curly breakfast, und in u one horse coupe rides to the store. Ho indulges in alcisurcly dinner at a pub lic house, at 5 o’clock, then returns to Ids den ami continues his labors until every Item of business In the store Is finished.— ricasure seekers going home from tho the atre often ecc tho twinkleof Mr. Stewart’s light In the counting room, show ing that tho great millionaire is hard at his tasks. But it is his recreation, lie finds his pleas ure at work, and asks nothing more. Vanderbilt is u gigantic speculator. Like Frederick tho Great, he takes his leis ure to mass Ills troops, and an unexpected moment throws himself upon his foe, sure of victory. He Inis the Harlem and the Hudson roads. He is after tho Central, and means to control the Eric. Ho takes his leisure in thu morning and divides It between his breakfast, his cigar und his horses. He spends a great deal of Ills tlmo in Ids stables. Ife lias a trotting track in bis yard, so that ho does not have to go far to try his favorites. At ten, precisely, ho enters Ids up town office. At twelve he rides up to the Harlem and then over to the Hudson railroad. The rest of the day ho gives to business and rides. Uo seldom appear* at tho Stock Board. Ho buys through other hands, because be can do it better. Daniel Drew is a very quiet man. of plain, simple habits, seldom speaks, and In Ills down town office. In Broad street would Ihj taken for a rustic farmer or a New Jer sey trader, who Is not bright enough to sharply Invest Ills motley. Clatlln, who Is treading so closely on the heels of Stewart in tho dry goods trade, was a small trader In Worcester. Ho bought goods In very small quantities, and was noted for carrying homo his own bun dles. Like Stewart he managed Ids own business. He found his complicated trade wcuring upon him, und, Uko a wise man, as lie Is, he purchased a llttc plaeo up the river. Ho leaves bis store at four every afternoon, drives up his own team, and spends the evening in the quiet of his own family. It is the younger class of traders uml speculators who trade In the night and give themselves no rest on Sunday. They reap their reward in prematura decay, sud den foiluro or great losses. Tho lino of demarcation between tho old stylo of doing business and the new is very broad. Colored Children Ejected fuou tub Tublic Schools in Buffalo.—For a time past a degree of cxcltcmont has been occa sioned in sorao of tho public schools on ac count of tho fact that a number of colored children Insisted upon attending, and re mained, despite the efforts oftlio teachers to compel thorn to leave. Recently, a peti tion by colored people’ asking permission to send tbolr children to otlior schools than tlint set apart for them, was referred to the Common Council Committee on Schools; tho Commlttco reported that tho Council had no authority to grant tho permission nsked, and the report Was adopted. Not withstanding this action, tho parent* of the children continued to send them to tha schools and yesterday Superintendent Fostlck went to Districts Nos. 11 and 12, and ordered the colored children to leave. This they refltscd to do, when they were ejected. This morning tho colored chil dren In No. 32 wore also ejected by tbe Superintendent. It Is understood that Mr. Fosdlck has adopted this course in pursu ance oftlio action of tho Council, and It Is rumored that tbo parties considering them selves aggrieved, threaten to havo mm ar rested and arraigned before tho United States Court under tho Civil Bights Bill. Tho school set apart for colored children, on Vine tsroctwIU accommodate two hun dred, we are told, though the averago daily attendance Is only forty-five.—Bvialt ' ■"*!..< J' i'il -Mr- ,-liV r.

IIcoe Cotton Stalk.—Wo saw a cotton stalk at tho store of Mr. Asher Ayres, grown by Mr. S. J. 0satin, on land In the vicinity upon which he had put 300 lbs of Gostin's Ammoniated Raw Bone Super phosphate to the acre, which had 301 foil grown bolls upon It.—Macon Messenger. Arrest on a Charob of Murder—The Ortttu Commuted Tico Years Ago.—Satur day forenoon a man turned George L. Van Bolen was arrested at tbe Wheeler House, n this city, by Detective Sam. Ellis, at the Instance of Chief of Follco Mcllretb, of St. Foul, Minn, on the charge of the murder of Dr. H. Harcourt, near that olty, In Au- g jst.1805. Van Solen, In 1801, was in tho ovomment service, being employed os a hospital steward In St. Louis. There ho met Dr. Jlsrcourt, who was a young Eng lish physician of raroattaimnents, and had lately cotao to this country. In the spring of ltsifl Van Solen was in St. Paul, and by means of a decoy letter, offering Harcourt tbe position of surgeon to a bogus expedi tion to Lake Superior und tho British pos sessions, lie Induced Harcourt to go to St. Paul, taking with him a large supply of medicines, surgical Instruments, personal effects, and quite an amount of money. After the arrival of Harcourt In Ht. Paul no mysteriously disappeared, and, from the subsequent Investigation, it seems almost certain that he was taken down the river a fow miles by Van Solen anil murdered lu cold blood. The only object of tho awful crimo was to obtain possession of the ef fects he had brought and tho money lie was known to have. What first excited the suspicion of foul play was tho receipt of letter* by tho mother of Harcourt In Eng land; one from her son Informing her of his appointment, and enclosing the decoy letterAnd afterwards a letter In answer to her anxious enquiries for him from Van Solen himself, both of which were In ex actly the same handwriting. It was also found that, after thedlsappcarance of Har court, Ils friends in St. Louis had received letters purporting to come from him, and dntod“ln tho woods,” all of which were traced directly to Van Solon. Ho was found at tho hotel named, where ho was employ ed In the capacity of night-watchman. Since his nrrest he has admitted that he wrote the decoy letters spoken of, and It Is now almost certain that|io Is guilty of tho horrible crime.— QkWtpa Times, Sept. IS. Interesting to the Odd Fellows— Among tho resolutions adopted by tho Grand Lodge of tbe United States, Inde pendent Order of Odd Fellows, at tho an nual session held In Now York last week, were the following: Resolved, That It shall not lie legal to expel orsupend members of tbD Order for non-payment of dues.

State bodies are hereby di rected to promulgate the some for tho In struction of their subordinates, without unnecessary delay; and further, to Make all local legislation necessary to give ofl'ect hereto In their several jurisdiction. nORRORH OF AN UXDEnOltOUND RAILWAY. Tho condition of tho Underground Rail way Is exciting somo attention, not to say alarm. Two passengers havo died whllo traveling on the road, und It Is alleged that their deaths wero occasioned or hastened by tho suffocating air of tho tunnels; Tho latest Inquest was held yesterday. A young woman, apparently In good health, entered the Bishop s Road Station on Wednesday evening. On reaching the platform slid sahl: “It Is a very nice station, but very hot.” On getting Into one of tho carriages she said: - What a dreadful smell there Is here.” These were the last words she spoke. At King's Cross sho was taken out hy her companion In an apparent lifeless condition. A physician being sent for, ar rived lu live minutes and found bar dead. An examination showed that she had died from restriction of the aortic oritlcc, hut tho physician declined to say whether her dentil had been quickened by breathing tm impure atmosphere. The coroner in this case was the eminent physician. Dr. Lank- ester, and at his suggestion tho inquiry was adjourned, In order that the nlr or tho tunnels may be analyzed, and its precise condition ascertained. At an inquest held last week, n surgeon testified positively that death had been accelerated “by the suffocating air of tho underground rail way." Tho statement produced Inquiry, and the Inquiry produced tho fact, or the assertion, that sulphurous and carboretted gases have gone on accumulating Iti tho tunnels of the railway, till tho air bad be come dangerous to breathe, tIU tho pres ence of choke dump, to ho followed hy lire dam;), threatened at no very distant day, a terrible explosion.

Scholl eld. 8. F. Chalfin, A. A. G. Poland—A correspondent of tho Pull Moll Gazette, writing from Warsaw on tho 5th ult, says: An Important decision has been arrived at by tho authorities here und at St. Pe tersburg. In order to destroy as much as posslblo all historical recollections among tho Poles, it has been determined that Warsaw shall ceaso to be the capital of Po land. Tho kingdom will be divided Into twodDtrlcts, In which the chief seats of government will bo Kaltsch and Lublin, Warsaw thus being reduced to tbo rank of a second rate provincial town. Arrange ments are already being made for tho re moval of the provincial officials from War saw, and tho rents of housos have accord ingly fallen considerably. This summary measure is supposed to bo partly Intended as a defiance to France, which nation, since the Berezowskl affolr, has been the subject of constant attaelu In the Russian press. All the French Professors at tho Warsaw University wcrodlsmUscd from their posts on the 1st Inst- anil 1 hear, on good au thority, that all Frenchmen employed on tho railways anil in Government offices are also to bo uDmlsscd. The NAsn.s-ir.T.r. Election A Nash ville paper of tho 30th, says: Tho election on .Saturday paused off in the mildest manner possible. There was a great deal of excitement and rumors were circulated of every shade and character. The programme marked out by General Thomas was faithfully executed at every point, and most gratifying it is to bo able to report that nothing occurred throughout tho day to mar tho general peace anil good order which everywhere prevailed. Tho 3Iayor, with ex-Governor Foote and a fow others, was racing about town quite lively until about half past two, when thoy received positlvo assurances that they would not be permitted to hold thclrmucb covettcd separate election. Tho Mayor at first refused to receive tho returns, hut afterwards changed Ills mind. Thus ended the most exciting municipal Views of Bexator Sherman—Senator Sherman, of Ohio, whose conservative ten dencies are well known, said in his speech at Clnclnnattl: “I, perhaps, am disposed La tnko n darker anil more gloomy view of tho President's position than some others. But 1 Uo say to you that there Is good rea son to believe that tho President of the United States contemplates even more than ho has yet done. If you nick tip tho papers that support the President’s policy, what ore they tilled with ? Threats against Congress os a rump Congress, and about tlispcrslng Congris*. W'i .

An elegant black silk was embroidered in jet unu silk, with a largo medallion on each breadth, and a smaller ono on tho sacque to match. A velveteen Btsmark brown has skirt and sack trimmed with black silk ribbon with cord edge. Blucand purple and brown jwpllusuitsarctrimmed with satin folds of the samo shade. A pretty mode of trimming Is a satin fold around tho skirt und depending from lu scollops of poplin, edged with satin pip ing. Tho underskirts Is sometimes or a contrasting color, and when they harmon ize has a pretty effect. A new stylo that will l>e worn Is tho pelisse, which is made with two skirts, tho under otto quite long. Tho body is closo fitting, ami trimmed with plaited folds.

Now, however. It D different.
