ATLANTA, <3-A_.: THURSDAY' MORNING ::<XTOBDK 31. Extension of Time. The General Order published this morn ing, from the Commanding General of the District, should not be overlooked by the registered voters of the State. It gives two days more time to secure a full expres sion of the people of Georgia on the ques tion of Reconstruction. This invitation from the authorities to the people of the State will not. we hope, be disregarded. To refuse to vote after regi-toring would amount to a half-way suicide, politically.

" Savannah, Oct. 30.—The election passed off quietly. The total vote, so far as heard from, is 2.500; only one white vote to-day, making two whites.. The negroes have it all their own way. The whites do not go near the poll*, and regard the whole thing as a farce. A new poll will be opened to morrow for the whites.

Adjutant General. tlT We publish this morning the “hand bill purporting to be an address ‘to the vo ter- of Georgia.'” to which our fossil eo- temj*oniry. on Whitehall, alluded Tuesday morning last. It has just fallen into our hands—we have read it hastily—and we nm*t admit that we fall to discover the "fc Radicalism" our friend of the In telligencer deprecates. We advise our readers to read it, and read it to their neighbors.early this morning; and then let all follow the advice given—vote, and then work until everybody else votes. The advantages of a large vote are distinctly set forth in the document to which we re fer. and we hope everybody who has not voted will vote before the sun sets. C3T"A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial questions the statement so generally published, to the effect that “af- t. r the 2d of March, 186S. no debtor will be a *le to obr.-.ln * discharge in bankruptcy unless hi* assets shall pay fifty per cent, of bis indebtedness, or by assent in writingof i majority in number and value of his •will on _ retard the progress of Reconstruction. A majority of the registered voters will carry the com monwealth back into the Union. This is inevitable, and those who ipdulgein pique and prejudice now, will hereafter regret the decision. At the same time we urge the friends of Reconstruction to be vigilant! A few days earnest work will save years of anar chy in the future. We have but one hope for relief from the present unsettled con dition, and that is based upon restoration to, and participation in, the councils of the nation. Now is the time to work—let the necessary work be done! More Time. The true friends of Geosgia will thank Gen. Pope for extending, the time of vo ting. We urge upon them that they now show their appreciation of this opportuni ty, by laboring unceasingly, until the polls close, to get out every voter who favors the Reconstruction policy of Congress. Remember, if a majority of the registered vote of the State is not polled, and a ma jority of tlie vote polled does not vote “for a Convention,” Gcoraia will be the first of her Southern sisters to pursue such a course. Remember that our present un settled political condition is the principal cause of our prostrate condition financially. Georgia should be in the front rank, polit ically and commercially’. That is her place as tlie Empire State. There is time enough to accomplish tlie work. Let it be done. “ Sharp ” is the word, and be who dallies now, while professing so loudly, ought never receive the confidence of his fellow- citizens. Those who have registered should vote, ONE AND ALL ! The Whole Ticket, Let no one who claims to be for Recon struction vote other than tlie Staight-out Ticket. ' Beware of tricksters I Vote the Ticket as if .is, and be sure that on your ticket are theAvords "For A Con vention.’’ quart. uiidJlin: li cli no * *-iics S>0 hales * !

Ala., reports two thou sand cases in Bankruptcy in that district. The Greensboro’ (Ala.) Beacon, situated in the midst of the rich cotton lands of Alabama, says the yield of cotton in that section will not exceed one bale to five acres. The Tallahssse Sentinel learns that the. increased volume of water in the St. John's river, in Florida, resulting from the heavy rains of the late wet season, has washed out a n *w channel through the bar at the mouth of the river, vastly improving the outlet to the navigation of that stream. The quarterly statement of the National Banks of New'York city shows a surplus of thirteen and a half millions, or 7 per cent, over the 25 per cent, of reserve re quired bv law. Tlie wheat and flour exports of Califor nia will not fall short of ten million dol lars. and the manufactures alone are repre sented to amount to considerably more than tlie gold product. Tha wine crop this year will amount to three million dollars, while there is a falling oft" in the gold pro duct. Other branches of industry afford more than a counterbalance. A plan for a system of storm signals, to be used on the Cape • Hatteras lighthouse, is under consideration. The discharges at the Springfield Armo ry lias reduced the number of men em ployed to nearly Odd. « ;•(•ration.” l>eforc the time fixed at which d.-hior* ami ereditors^M^ avail them- - o.’ its provisionsj^Wbenefits? Tho ; pre-eribes for invO«W|Ty. as well as voluntary bankruptcy/^® to both classes, the remedies afforded by the act were post- Itoned until the first day of June, 1867. No jetition. either of debtor or creditor, could !-• filed prior to that day. Not a white voter of Bibb county ra-l a ballot yesterday! What a glorious r-cord lor the county that has such a proud history ! We are sure that to-day will be like that of yesterday, and to-morrow even a* to-day. Let the sun of Thursday set upon that record unsullied by any par- tieilotion in. or countenance to the swin dle.— Journal and Messenger. Our eotemjorary has been professing great alarm about negro supremacy in Georgia. We suggest that the white men of Bibh. and those in other portions of the Mate who act with them, are pursuing the only course that could i>ossibly give the colored race control of public affairs. The Journal advi*es white men who have reg- “Gnawing a File.**;—Our whilom friends, DeWolfe and Gilbert, or the Columbus Sun. l^ive engaged extensively in this business. They seem devoted to it. Their journal of yesterday* contains several of their most pungent hits at General Pope. We are sorry’, for the sakeof our Columbus friends, that they are so strongly’ inclined to fool away their time. The veteran DeWolfe should be more, discreet. A dozen para graphs in one day, when they fall hurtless. is a waste of ammunition ! •s Why this Difference?—A few days ago we received from New York by way of Savannah a box weighing 1301bs. on which freight and drayage to our office was 4.00. Yesterday we received from Savannah one bundle of wrapping paper, weighing 601bs. on which the charges, delivered in our of fice was ¥2.25. If our box had been sliip- I>ed from Savannah, at this proportion, the eharge would have been about $8.00. In other words, it is elieajf r to receive goods all the way from New York than it is from Savannah. Why this difference?—Mont. Advertiser. We have heard some of our mercantile istered to refrain from voting. Result—if friends in this city luuivC similar state- wbi e men do not vote—Negro Mtrfma- ct! Is the latter what the Journal de sires? i|t General Grant has entirely recover ed irein his recent illness, and was able, on the iNh, to resume the duties of his ofilee.

We clip the above from a Nashville ex change. That unnecessary reserve of $0,- 000.000 most probably contributed in part to the stringency’ exiierienced in other por tions of tiie country’.

Mobile, Oct. 30.—There were two inter ments from yellow fever for tlie past 21 hours. New Orleans, Oct. 30.—There were only nine interments from yellow fever yesterday. At a meeting of the Board of Health, last nigtt, quarantine was suspended. A motion was offered by Dr. Warren Stone that the fever be declared no longer epidemic. The motion was opposed and referred to the Committe on Health. Dr. Stone argued that the disease had rnn its course and was no longer epidemic. Though sporadic eases may continue for some time, in his opinion it is perfectly safe for strangers to come to this city. In his remarks lie contended that the yellow fever was not contagious under any cir cumstances. Mayor Ilcath lias vetoed the ordinance repealing all ordinances providing for tlie administration of the public schools, on the ground that tlie Council makes no pro vision for any other adniini.-tration of the schools, leaving them w itiiout directors or teachers. The action of the Council looks like they intended to abolish tlie schools altogether, since it has failed to force ne groes into white schools. The ordinance was passed over the Mayor’s veto by’ tlie Board of Assistant Aldermen. The upper Board lias not yet acted. Judge Leinonr, of the sixth District Court, ha* decided to perpetuate the in junction granted the School Board res training the Mayor from promulgating the ordinance. The resolution offered in the Board of Aldermen, last night, requesting the mili tary authorities to remove tlie present School Board, passed—two blacks voting for. and four whites against it.
