Patriots of Georgia 1 A rise I wake
yourselves up to a realizing sense of tho»
nwful grandeur of tlio crisis that is upon
us. Ours is by no mains a hopeless cause.
There are now, ns wo verily bolieve, hun
dreds of men, in every county, who, two
weeks since, were opposed to us, but
who now, sinco the disunion policy of
the Breckinridge party lias becomo ful
ly known, arc determined to leavo the
“precipitators,” and lend a helping bund
to save our glorious epuntry and its sn
ored institutions. See to it that these
men, many of them our very best citi
zens, modest and unpretending, have a
chance to vote, unawed by selfish dema
gogues, and uninfluenced by party tricks
und falsehoods.
Bring nil proper influences and argu
ments to bear upon tlio wavering and
undecided. Tell the people that the
Bell Ticket is the only oue in Georgia
pledged to vote for whichever candidate
can beat our groat common enemy.Lin
coln. If the Boll electors are elected,
they will cast the vote of this State for
Breckinridge, if, only by so doing, they
could defeat Lincoln ; and they would
act in the same way in regard to Mr.
Douglas. What possiblo excuso, then,
can any good patriot who loves his country
more than party, give for not voting this
ticket ?
If tho Breckinridge Ticket is elected
they will bo forced to vote for their own
candidate, even though by so doing they
should permit Lincoln's election ; or
else they will have to hack down from
"theprinciple*! ; th6y.bt , b/pMdgod “ to die
by,” and come sneaking in at last to our
po-ition of vntitfg for the strongest man
against Lincoln.• Present those fuels to
tho honest yeomanry, and their .own
good sense and love of honesty will load
them to patriotic conclusions.

For tho Romo Courier.
Mu Eoitori I desire to make known
to the friends of Bell and Everett in
other portions of the State that Wf, in
Gordon county, are doing ourwholo du
ty in the cuu.se of tho Constitution tho
Union and tho Enforcement of tho
Laws. It is truo that in this county tho
Democracy have heretofore had the as
cendency, hut since the opening of the
present canvass, we Imvo ’uo much re
duced tlieir hlimbors,' tliat wo have
hopes of enrrrying the county for
tho Union candidates.
At tho opening of tho campaign tho
Broekinridgo men adopted as one of
tlieir plans of operation that a speaker
should attend all tho jus.ieo Courts
throughout tho county for the purpose
of harrangueing tho people, hut in this
they found it a loosing business to their
party. No sooner hud tlieir little slump
orators commenced their slander and
abuse on John Bell, than they wero
met by Mr. J. E. Parrott Esq., (a broth
er of J. R. Parrott our, woithy Elector
for tho 5th District) who was not only
able to defend our causo ngainst their
slanders and abuse hut in every discus
sion, never failed to damage the disun
ion party seriously. Tho Bell men of
Gordon have every reason to ho proud
of Mr. Parrott. He is a young man of
much pronilso and the Democracy may
died him in the future. Truly.

Every Mason, at least, will ho in
terested in the article headed “An Ap
peal Against Disunion,” to ho found in
this paper.
Correction-.—We aro informed by
Mr. M. Kendrick, Esq.. Solicitor of this
circuit, that tho trial of J. J. Morrison,
in the Polk Court was “continued

poned l»y the consent of doth parties
and not by the Slate as wo slated last

Thu Etowah Hotel Changed Hands.
On tho 1st inst., Col. L. P. Thomas,
who has kept this house for nearly two
years, vacated it, and Maj. Geo. S. Black,
who is now to keep it, moved in.
Col. Thomas is one of the very best of
hotel keepers, and it is a matter of d
regret to his numerous friends and <
turners that he should find it to his inte-
ivst to leave the Etowah Hotel. At
'whatever place he may locate, the ti
ding public may fed assured that the
hotel kept by Cm.. Thomas is, a* least
not surpassed by any other kept in that

A Strong lioml of Union,
The Montgomery Mail, reporting tho
fact that William B. Aster, of New
York city, has oontribnted one million of
dollars to tho fund for carrying New
York against Lincoln, adds:—“This
s that tho South will bo rightin'
•K ing if Lincoln is elected.,”
> our mind it shows just tho reverse.
Should tliuHoutli, In tills election, lose
one of tho three associate departments
of the Federal Government, it would
ho lolly in her, on that necount, to sepa
rate from ?ueh friends ns Mr. Astor—
friends who contribute millions to savo
for her ono brunch of tho Government,
and will contribute millions more to
presorvo the other two, without the co
operation of which Lincoln will bo near
ly powerless. Justicound-ohligation to
ai/e/i friends require that wo,should
stand by them, as they are resolved to
stand by us, until the Government passes
into tho hands of our enemies.
But, at tho same time, wo must con
fess that wo do not like this system of
purelutsino votes, even for tho preserva
tion of the Union. To our view, if Lin
coln is defeated by brioory and corrup
tion only, a Union thus preserved has
no more claims on the South (no mat
ter who is President) than a Union
presided over by n Black Republican.—
It is the popular sentiment and not the
mere incident ol the success of this or
that candidate for tho Presidency, that
ought to ho taken into the account in
estimating the value and integrity of
the Ullioil.— Col, Enq,

Brethren 1 the partisan shoots of tho

Fancy nml Fact.
Some of tho rabid disunion papers
tell us, says the Montgomery J*ost, that
if we dissolve tlio Union, northern and
foreign cotton buyers will throng our
streets, begging for .tjie staple at big
prices. Now, if that theory ho true,
the prospect of disunion ought to nut
up the price at once, and it ought, also,
to advanco the prices of lands and nu-
groes. But how stands the case ?—
Right in the face of tho fact that the
crop is short—not much, if any, ovor .
two-thirds of what was made last year
—cotton is now commanding in our
markot, only about ten cents. If dis
union is going to command such big pri
ces for the staple, the prospect of dis
union and a short crop together ought
to put it up to 12 or 15 cents at least,
instead of keeping it to only ten. Ami
as to negroes, wo clip" tho following
from the Greensboro' (Ala.) JJcacon of
last Friday :
Draw Decline in Nf.oraf.s.—A lot
of Negroes—somo 20 or JO—were sold
at Eiltawon Monday last, by the Slid-
ill*. Uio prices brought, we understand
were at least 40 to 50 per cent, below
tlio ruling rates last winter. A fraction
over $1^0.)—and that a very likely fol
low.—was the highest price that was ob
tained. A very likely young woman,
such as i o ibl have commanded $1500 to
$10 o'»0 last Fall, brought only a frac
tion over $1000. The scarcity of money
doubtless had something to do with tho
matter, hut an apprehension of a disso
lution of the Union—a measure which
some men contend would enhance tho
value of slave property—we strqjjg-
ly suspect had also something to do
with it.

Political Meetings at tho City Hall.
Last night there was a meeting of
the Union Party nt tlio City Hall. To
night tlio Broekinridgo party hold forth
with Hon. J. W. II. Underwood as tlieir
speaker, and on Monday night the
Douglas party “exerciso” with \V\ A.
Fort, Esq., and other distinguished oiti-

that all parties are hard at work 1
each evidently wants the last lick.

resolution:

I’ho Breckinridge Mass Meeting at

a resolution authorizing the Electors of
tlieir party, In ease they are elected, to
cast tho vote of Alabama for any candi
date for the Presidency whom it can

so to do by members of tho party. We
learn from the Montgomery Post, that
"quite a number of the most respecta

Broekinridgo party at Selma huvo re
nounced their connection with it on

the railroad companies in l iar.ee are
about to put in operation a plan which
cannot fail of being received with favor
by tho public. It is proposed to run,
each week, a train of cars between dis
tant points, lor which tickets can he ob
tained in advance, and to which the
companies will guarantee to admit only
a limited number ol passengers—four
hundred for example. All tho places
being occupied, tlio engine not carry
ing any dead weight, to use a technical
expression, the travujlor can ho trans
ported at tlio prioo of me'chaudise,
and the companies, not only without
an y loss, hut oven with a certain calcu
lable profit, will apply to these special
trains a taritf, the great cheapness ot
which cannot fail of producing an im
mense business. By this arrangement
tho fare is about one-fifth tho usual
price. Cannot some such plan bo per
fected by our railroad companies?

tho total amount of property returned
on the tax digest for the year amounts
to the immense sum of $072,322,777.—
According to tho census of 1850 tlv
was a fraction over 521,000 free white
inhabitants; and it is a reasonable cal
culation that the increase in ten years
will swell that number to at least 550,-
000,. These figures will show tho fact,
that if the taxable property in tho

people, tlio amount for each free while
