The Wilmington “Delaware Gazette" ol tlie 9th instant sets down the Democratic majority in that State at the recent election at about 3.- 034 and hopes “to put tbe hard-faced and hard hearted Radicals on taller stilts in November.” Bully for Delaware! Tbe Conatittillon and I.atvw of Georgia, Governing llic Approaching Election, The reader’s attention is called to a compila tion made by the Macon Telegraph—which ap pears on the first page of this morning’s Intel ligencer—of the Constitution and Laws of the State governing the approaching election. It is an important document, embracing valuable information aud should be carefully preserved for use on the day ol the election. Let our friends see to it that a copy be ready lor use at every election precinct iu the State. The De mocratic party want, and will hg.ve, a fair election, according to the letter and spirit of the Consti tution and the law. The document to which we refer will aid largely in securing what they wil) demand at the polls. Be sure to preserve this paper. Wlio “Encouraged Secession.” The Radicals believe that they demolish tjie entire Democratic party when urcy say that Northern Democrats encouraged secession aud ere responsible lor it. They make this charge in the noisiest manner whenever they are hard pressed about taxation, expenditures, and the increase ot the public debt, and as Delmar has recently given them a terrible blow, with on accord ail the Radical spoolers and scribblers shout at the top ot their voices that the Demo cratic party of the North advised the Southern States to secede. We remember pretty accurately the history of secession. We reinember what occurred before and alter our ordinances were passed and with the exception of Dan. E. bickles, B. Butler, John Cochrane, John A. Lygan, Edwin M. Stanton, aud one or two others ot the same stamp but a size smaller, we do uot recollect a single Northern Democrat who encouraged secession. Many Northern Democrats believed that if the Southern States should secede there was no Constitutional power vested either iu the President or Congress to coerse them to remain in the Union, but the worthies we have named alone encouraged secession, patted us on the back and told us to go ahead that they would stand by us. It is a satisfaction to us iu our misfortune to know that every one of these advocates ot seces sion abandoned us iu the hour ot trial. They are now among the Radicals, where they beloug, and where we hope they will remain until they join Thad. Stevens. But while the Democrats did not encourage or ad vise secession, we cannot say the same of our friends, the Radicals. From Ben Wade to Horace Greely, the Radicals in sisted that we had a clear right to secede, and to secede in peace, and tuat they would resist the adoption of any measures to coerce or pre vent us. We know that Greely would say we are “liars,” and that Ben Wade would say we are “ liars,” if we could uot adduce the proof to con vict them both. We will cile, therefore, the following from the Congressional Globe's report ot a speech made iu the Senate by Mr. Wade: “I am not one of those who would ask them to coutiuue in such a Union. It would be do ing violence to the platform ot the party to which I belong. We have adopted tbe old Declaration ot Independence as the basis of our political move ments, which declares that any people,when their government cetis s to protect their right—when it is so subverted troui the true purposes of gov eminent as to oppose them, have the right to re ter to fundamental principles, and, it need be, to destroy the government uuder which they live, aud to erect ou its ruins another more conducive to their welfare. 1 hold that they have this right. I will uot blame any people tor exercis ing it, whenever they think this contingency has come. * * * You cannot forcibly hold men in this Union, for the attempt to do so, it seems to me, would subvert the first principles ot the government, under which we live.” Mr. Horace Greeley, who, thank goodness, has never been supposed to be a Democrat, en couraged secession in the following languge, be fore Sooth Caroliua thought of seedling: “It the cotton States shall become satisfied that they cau do better out of the Union than iu it, we insist on letting them go in jieace. The right to secede may be a revolutionary one, but it exists nevertheless. * * * * * * We must ever resist the right of any State to remain iu the Union and nullify or defy Uie laws thereof. To withdraw from lie Uuion is quite another matter. Whenever a consider able section of our Union shall deliberately re solve to go out, we shall resist all coercive meas ures designed to keep them in. We hope never to live m a republic whereof one section is pinned to another by bayonets. The principal organ of Ohio Republicanism in 1860 was exceedingly encouraging. It said : “Now, it any State or States wish to renounce the benefits of this general protection, how can they be compelled to continue the recipients ot such advantages ? The Gotten States are not re belling against the Federal authorities, nor nulli fying any general or particular law. They simply request to be released from the Union compact. To coerce them to remain in the Union, by the fore* a >f the U aited States Govern ment, is to entirely change tbe nature of Federal authority. It will be to make the Federal Gov ernment, not a representative of the States, their instrument in providing for tbe common defense, &c., but a superior, neutralized power, having an existence iudependeut of the States. We re gret being compelled to take this view ot the matter, bat it seems inevitable.” We might cite other encouragement from Repub lican sources, but we think we have given enough to prove that the Republicans, and not the Dem ocrats, encouraged secession. The few Demo crats who encouraged secession joined the Rad icals for hire and perquisites, and we wish the Radicals joy ot their acquisition. We are so poor and weak now, it would be utter ruin to count Sickles, Butler, and wretched John Cochrane, among our friends. We are grateful that our Northern triend-*, although they did not encourage secession, beloDg to a widely different class than that to which these heroes belong. C'om«pondence-Gen. P. 91. D. louns Accept* the Nomination. We take great pleasure in laying t'yie follow ing correspondence between tbe committee pointed by the Seventh Congressional District Convention, recently assembled at Kingston to nominate a candidate for Congress, and Gen. P. M. B. Young, from which it will be seen that the General in a graceful manner accepts the nomination—his letter evidencing also that pure spirit of patriotism and devotion to his native Boutb, for which he is so eminently distinguish ed ; which have inspired confidence iu, and drawn the hearts of the people ot this congres sional uistrict so warmly unto him. To the people of this congressional district, as well as to the General’s democratic constituency, we com mend the perusal, of this correspon den ce. Atlanta, Oct. 5th, 1808. General P 4 M. B. Young: Dear Gen. : We were appointed by the Demo cratic Convention tor the Seventh Congressional District, which assembled at Kingston on the 2d ot this month, to inform yon that you were nominated by acclamation as our candidate, and to request your acceptance of the trust. It gives us great pleasure to say that nothing could have exceeded the unanimity aud cordiality of the feelings of the delegates present, and as your friends we beg leave to say how entirely we sympathised in this ieeling. Hoping that it will be agreeable to you to accept the position as signed you of “ standard-bearer ” of the Demo cracy of tbe Seventh District, we subscribe our selves truly, your friends, Carey W. Styles, Geo. N. Lester, John Milledge, Jr. Cartersville, Ga., Oct 7,1868. Messrs. Girey W. Styles, Geo. N. Lester, John Milledge, Committee: Gentlemen—I have to acknowledge your polite note ot the 5th, communicating the fact of my nomination as the Democratic candidate for Congres,lor the Seventh District, by the King ston Convention, which assembled on the 2d of this month. Accept gentlemen my warmest thanks for the kind manner in which you convey thip intelligence, and I also desire to express to the Convention, through you, the profound sense of obligation I feel to each member for the dis tinguished honor conferred upon me. But I assure you gentlemen, in all truth and solemnity that my pleasunTfiifrilTS^vent is not unmingted with a solicitude of a painful character. Tome it is e'ear that American politics have reached a point iu the downward track ot .decline and corruption, which leaves it barely possible tor the true friends ot liberty aud law to inaugurate recovering measures. Our receptive capacity as a people tor the arts of the demagogue, aud our toleration of the pranks and insolence of tyranny are most astounding. To-day, in less than eighty years of a political existence, we are forced to our election between tbe best and tbe worst gov ernment iu the experience ot mankind. I say the best government, because the world can bear witness to the universal freedom and happiness of our people, uudet the seventy years of Democratic and Constitutional Government which preceded these sad days. I say the worst, because throughout this unhappy South we are so trampled upon and outraged that we cau al most declare that any change whatever would be a mercy. And now, right now, we are all put to our tlectiou. The last day of next Nov. will find this once glorious heritage a prey to a most re morseless party, or the reins ot goverument once more in the firm grasp of the law-abiding and law- loving Democracy. If once again this glorious old party, which made America what she was in her palmy days, shall be firmly seated in authority, our very enemies themselves shall bless the day that we hurled (hem irorn power. But it God, in His awful and afflictive provi deuce, shall sorter us again to be leased out to tbe misrule and venality of a corrupt party for four years more, then, to my hupe the book is closed, aud all the glory that could be recorded of us is already* written. Feeling thus, gentlemen, you may easily enter into tbe anxious stale ot my mind when you recall the important post you have assigned me in this great struggle, as your “standard bearer.” May I not reasonably aud confidently invoke i tie hearty co-operation of Democrats every where in the Seventh Congressional District? 1 do most earnestly ask the aid ot every lriend ot ttic Constitution aud of constitutional liberty in my efforts to bear aloft aud to triumph, our glo rious bauner, well assured of tbe happy result to all our stricken country upon our success. I have, gentlemen, the honor to lie your obe dient servant, P. M. B. Young. Information Wanted.—Any information in regard to Francis M.

The following is an extract from a sermon delivered on Sunday, the 11th instant, in the Second Baptist Church of this city by its pastor the Rev. Dr. Brantley, the subject being “Christian Liberty,” from John viii, 38, in which the lamented death of Georgia’s late noble son, the Hon. Howell Cobb, his services to the State and the nation, his fame as a statesman and his many virtues as a man, are feelingly, .el oquently and appropriately commented upon. We commevd it to the perusal of our readers [Extract j “The duty to ’which I have referred is affect- ingly urged upon our consideration by that mel ancholy event which wa3 yesterday announced to our community by a telegraphic despatch from New York. 1 allude to the death ot the Hon. Howell Cobb. This occurrence, which has awakened sincere sorrow in many hearts all over our land, has covered with mourning the homes of several members of this Church- An illustrious man has fallen. Whether we consid er his intellectual endowments, the commanding force ot his oratory, the extensive in fluence he wielded, the high positions he so long and so ably filled, both in the State and the National counsels, or his ar dent and disinterested patriotism, it must be conceded by all parties that he was one of tbe most distinguished men Georgia has ever pro duced. Self possessed, discriminating, prompt, and impartial, he was, as a presiding oflieer, fully the peer of the ablest man who ever pre ceded or followed him in tbe Speaker’s chair of the National House of Representatives. When Georgia passed her ordinance of secession, no uian entered more earnestly and self-sacrificiogly than did he into the cause ol Southern inde pendence; and when that cause was over whelmed with irretrievable disaster, no man was more truly afflicted. But the honors which men heaped upon him are of small value now ! V How loved, how valued once, avails thee not— To whom related, or by whom begot; A heap of dust alone remains of thee— ’Tie all thou art, and all fee great shall be.” Was he a Christian ? Had Christ invested him with that exalted freedom of which I have been speaking to you this morning ? He made no public profession of his faith in a Dirifie Saviour, yet there is good reason for believing that the great question ot bis soul’s salvation was with him a matter of profound concern, and that he was not a stranger to that prepara tion without which lallen man cannot meet his Maker in peace. Years ago, when I was his pastor in Athens, 1 h id occasion to visit him during a period ot domestic affliction. In answer to a question proposed at that time, he said: ‘ 1 do not see how it is possible for any man to be without concern in regard to liis spiritual condi tion.’ Subsequently, I met him at the bedside of his dying father; and when he saw how peacefully, and even triumphantly, his aged sire responded to the summons from which, though a consistent Christian, he had recoiled through life, an impression was made on the mind ot the soil which was never effaced.” “ Those who only saw him as he mingled among men, in all the exuberance of his natural hilarity, bad little idea of the spiritual strug gling s which were progressing within. On oiie occasion in his native town he rose : before a large congregation and presented himself among thos who were sflthciting an iqtereefc in Jffie prayers of Christian people. The last time J preached in Macon, (s^fewi him in the congrgMfiliPfl attention as 1 as “ the way and the life.” Pious friends, to whom of late he more particularly disclosed his religious emotions, have told me since his death that he had given them very consoling evidence that he was a regenerated man. He signified to them and to others his determination to profess publicly his faith in Christ at an early day. There ground, then, tor believing that he was not a stranger to that faith which he did not openly avow, and that tbe blow wbicb so in stantaneously broke tbe “pitcher at the tountain’ —thus arresting with a mortal chill, the action ot the natural heart did nut fall upon a heart spiritually unprepared for tbe solemn event.— We may comfort ourselves with the persuasion that the summons which came “like a clap of thunder in an unclouded sky,” was but a call to “depart and be with Christ which is far better” than to be here. “But let this startingly sudden death admonish us all. We must be insensible and stupid in deed, if from this event we hear not a voice saying to us “be ye also ready; for in such an hour as ye think not the Son ot Man cometh.” “ Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; tor in the grave whither thou goest there is no work, nor knowledge, nor wis dom, uor device.” WM.

A TALE OF WOE—52,792, AND OTHER FIGURES. This community, like many another, was all agog yesterday morning over the wondrous ar rangement of figures—55,792. Eighteen thou sand dollars’ worth of tickets in the Pascliall House Lottery had been sold at the Nashville agency, and thousands ot hearts beat flutteringly and anxiously as eyes ran down the telegraph coIucqds of the morning papers. Many, having one and even more tickets (some had thirty or forty) had committed their numbers to memory, and had been saying them over like school chil dren getting lessons, until sleep overtook them on the previous night. Others, with poor memories, or too agitated to think clearly, read the lucky numbers aud then tremblingly threw their eyes upon their tickets. Everybody was disappointed. Not a prize fell to a Nashville holder, at least as tar as heard Irom ; and it is safe to predict that none ot the major prizes will come this way.— Our man on the corner ot Broad and Cedar streets, had as much luck as anybody, and he, like the balance, sucks his thumbs in utter hope less, helpless, despondency. Mr. was sure he had it, but alas ! 55,972 woiiidn t do the work. Mrs. sprained an aukle rushing upstairs to get her ticket—54,792, but the fatal 4 dissipated her golden visions, and poor thing, she is poorer now than on Friday morning. One blasphemous cuss made the air about him turn blue over 55,793. Another, with suicidal air, rose from tbe rueful contemplation ol 52,795. 57,592 seared the eyeballs of a fair young friend, aud her b isoni heaved “ a sigh so piteous and profound as it did seem to shatter all her bulk and end her being.” A clever citizen saw the papers, and rushed frantically home with his brain whirling about with fives and nines, and sevens, swearing at every leap he had it; but Mr. Launam had tailed to place them to <uit the fickle goddess ot the wheel, and he sub sided in a jiffy and walked back down town looking like a poor nun at a cash sale. All the figures iu the various prizes were pulled and hauled about, as they have not been by so many people at ihe same time for many a day, but the obstinate little things would’nt stand right, and by BUndown Nashvil’e was in the dumps deci dedly.

Presentments of the Grand Jury, sworn for the 1st Week of the October Term of the Superior Court % of Fulton County, 1868. We congratulate our fellow-citizens upon the return of civil government in our State, and we earnestly desire that every distracting element may speedily be removed, and that all our people may unite with the officers of tbe law in promoting peace aud harmony ; and earuest'y re commend to all the people ot this county to aid his Honor Judge Pope iu his determination, as expressed in his cnarge to us, to restrain crime and relieve the dock ets, upon the civil side of tbe court, of tbe burden im posed upon them by the distracted condition of the country for the last several years. Owing to the short time that ,he Court has been in ses sion this week, and the amount of criminal business brought to our attention, we have been ntable to give attention to any other business except the jail,and there fore respectfully refer the usu il routine of county busi ness to the Grand Juries of the following weeks of the term. It is brought to our notice that the sale of lottery tick ets still continues, and we regret that the biff passed by the late Legislature lor their suppression is not put in force. We find the Jail in as good condition as cou’d be ex pected, with the great number of prisoners confined taerein, and award great credit to the Jailor for its clean ly and comfortable condition ; but we consider t he build ing entirely too small, and inadequate for the purposes ol the county. We regret to fiud so la-ge a number of criminals in the jail ana so much criminal business upon the docket. It is a pa>'nful e\ idence that crime is not so much on the decrease as could be desired. With regard to the changed condition of society, the subject of edu cation forces itself upon our Legislature as a matter of the utmost importance, and we respectfully, but earnest ly recommend that at its next session it have that atten tion which it so urgently demands, and we hope that the Ordinaries in tlie different counries will be faithful in procuring such information as will assist the Legislature m periecting si ch a system as will ensue to the benefit of all classes, and especially the poor. We would also urge upon the Ordinary of this county to use all the means m his power to compensate such teachers in this county as have not been paid for ser vices already rendered in teaehiug the poor of the county. In taking leave of his Honor Judge Pope, we tender him our thanks for the dignified and impartial discharge of his duty, and the high moral stand evmced in his charge to us. We also tender to the Solicitor, W. A. Adams, onr thanks for his kind and courteous attention to our body. We request that these presentments be published m the city papers. Edward E Rawson, Foreman.
