glance at some of the evidences of onr pros
perity.
We are to-day the most prosperous, peo
ple in the world—wo are bound down, it is
true, by a political ring, but this is a trifling
discomfort and an emphatically ephemeral
one. Who ever heard of eight or ten millions
people, intelligent brave and eloquent,
and inhabiting and possessing the richest
cuutry in the world being long oppressed,
or kept in shackles ?
Iready, while the smoke of i so-called
treasonous rehcl'ion hangs in the air around
us, the Xurthorn people are by their bal
lots, vindicating the majesty and might of
the South. The late elections have shown
continued and ever increasing accessions to
the Democratic party—the radicals are be
earning disorganized and disoooraged, and
die Democrats have fresh cause to hope,
and fresh incentives to struggle. But these
political triumphs arc the least of our cans
's for congratulation.
Our main claim to lively participation in
a first class Thanksgiving day lies in the
immense improvement made in our planting
system; in the impetus given to till the me
chanical and industrial arts, and to the in-
tee richness and variety of our mineral
resources, as lately developed.

tp ATL.AANTA MAYORALTY.
i : r " "
The city of Ailahtu eeems to be
mnddleahont who .shall be the next May
or.. A meeting of Democratic citizens was
called last week to decide the question.—
Three competitors, viz: Roach, Ezzard and
Alexander, presented themselves for the
nomination. . One of the competitors, .-.it
seems had negroes brought to the polls, and
ited to their voting on
Pay Yonr Small JDehcs.
Every man that means to be clever,
onght towards the close of oaeh. year, to
hunt up all his small debts, and pay them.
These small amounts are to a large extent
due to meohanics and laborers, and persona
who really need these dhesin order to sup
ply themselves with the comforts of life.
Many of this class of persons are modest
and sensitive, and it is very mortifying for
them to make known their straightened

weas to
ly paeh votes; tbat J>e would with
is name.
.Some foeliog arose, and the other two
competitors withdrew. Dr. A. afterwards
proposed to Jndge Ezzard to ran the race
through, *j|<arii»g,RoaBftbpt democrats to
vote. The Judge declined on the ground
that Roach had retired. The balloting
proceeded—the vote was counted, and Al
exander was officially notified by the man
agers that he had received the highest vote,
and was therefore .the choice of the party.
Dr. Alexander accepted thei nomination.—
The defeated candidates cried ont fraud,:
and proclaimed themselves independent can
didates.
These are briefly the facts, as we under
stand them from a responsible. gentleman
We have not stated them through partiality
for either candidate, nor to -dietate to onr
neighbor city her duty in the premises, as
we do not, like Pitch,' propose to manage
the city of Atlanta. It matters not but
little tons, or to the city of Atlanta, whieh
one of the candidates is elected Mayor for
next year. Bat the question has assumed
a complexion of geueral'interest and conse
quences important, not only to the citizens
of Atlanta, butto the State at large, may
flow from the result.
To defeat the nominee of the party,
whether his nomination was obtained fairly
or unfairly, is a dangerous precedent, and
as a precedent, may prove disastrous in fit-
the prospects of the south.
Truly we people of the South havo much
to be thankful for—and the carpings of
unsatisfied men to the country notwithstan
ding, we have right to enjoy and participate
in the day of Thanksgiving ordered by Bul
lock the Browser. We deserve jnst about
as much Thanksgiving with our . growing
and lusty strength, as. does dwarfed New
England with her drooped prosperity and
her narrow possibilities. Were we to eat
through a perfect mountain of baked tur
keys and revel in bushels of choicest dress-
p-—were we to gorge ourselves with the
best of pies, both pumpkin aud mince, and
dro vn our cares in gallons of rich old wines,
we would be doing but half justice to the
Thanksgiving day that our condition de
mands. -
But let us feast oui selves with a corsory tare, elections. . The 'point that' gave the
Democratic party the prestige of success in
the better days of the Republic, was its in
flexible rale to stand to its nominations,
whether fairly or fraudulently obtained,
and to fight it out upon that line. In view
of tho perils that environ us, it seems to us
more important'than ever to rigidly enforce
the rhle; Let ns maintain the integrity of
patty usage. Important; elections .take
place next year. The result in Fulton may
determine the complexion '' of the Legisla
ture and who shall be United States Sena
tor. To set the example that disappointed
aspirauts may cry “fr-ind” and ran an in
dependent schedule, we repeat is danger
ous, and may effect more important elec
tions in the future. Fraud has been charg
ed in every nomination since the organiza
tion of the .party, and. not without some
color of troth, bait the charge has been un
heeded, and the nominee has always re
ceived the snpport of the party. The uni
ty, 'stjefiglfcfil |S^;ofcthe party onght
to be preserved, To do this, pride, disap-
pointment, and all other motives moss yield
to the diotates of patriotism.
Look to^fotnr^npt to the present.-
If there was fraud in the last nomination,
guard against it In the next,! bnt ' maintain
the unity and invariable usage of the party
by supporting its nommee- lVe have no
specud preference for either candidate. It
is the example we fear, and it is the rale
for the future guidance of tho party we wish
to uphold. If a time-honored precedent;is,
not obeyed, and if this rale is not estab
lished, we will have continual divisions and
broils in the party throughout 1 the State
that will rob itofitastrength,andlayitat
the mercy of its enemies.
Alexander is well and favorably
here as the effioient, energetic 'and
.chairman of a Democratic Gom-
t\o late Gubernatorial and
campaigns, andi; perhaps no
man in this district exerted a larger influ
ence, or did morn important service in the
cause of Democracy. And while we recog
nize in his compietitoirs equal ability, patri-
hope he will be elected.
Why is it .that onr neighbor, the Consti
tution, tho acinowledged Democratic organ
of Atlanta, has not hoisted hisname in ac
cordance with the usage of the party. We
have, with impatience and ; with anxiety
waited to see his name, on the Demoeratie
banner, flung from the masthead of that
powerful journal, and we trust we may be
exposed for calling tbe editor’s attention to
the matter. The responsibility of the hoar
and the situation Brother Avery, is fraught
.wuh grave consequences. ■_ A word to the
wise is sufficient.
Goods at. Cost—S. B. Skugman.—
For the reason that he will be compelled to
give up his present store house on the first
of Janaary, Mr. Seligman is desirous of
closing oht his present desirable stock of
Dry Goods, Boots and Shoes, Beady Made
Clothing, Hats and Caps, Ac. Ac., and offers
them at c»t. Give him a call at 2nd doer
above tbe 1’ost-Office. 4^-rife]
Bnt apart from and besides this philan
thropic view of the subject, there is an ua»-
voidable moral obligation enforced by a
direct divine command to “owe no mu
any thing/' The spirit of the teachings of
“Him who taught as never man taught"
upon this subject, is, that it a sort of morel
theft to withhold from creditors their dues.
A man has no nrral right to buy cotton, or
to speculate on funds tbat are doe to others,
andthat by every moral and legal right belong
to them. If however a person cannot, that
is, if it is impotsible for him to pay all his
debts, jnst at this time, he may,
have an easy conscience, if he liquidates all
the small ones and does all he can to make
amends for the non payment of the larger
amounts.
The Atlanta Constitution thinks that
unless the Democratic party has fewer
didates to ran, it will be beaten, and hopes
for the adoption of some arrangement by
which a harmonious choice can be made.
The Macon Telegraph wisely says that
the: way to fighc the labor onion successful
ly, is to make your hands content by kind
and liberal management. True—the ne
gro will not listen to the dictates of a Union
or anything else that will tell him to throw
away a good position.
The Colnmbns Snn says Atlanta revolves
around the “Opera House” as Boston doe*
around Fanniel Hall—that the Opera
Honse is the great sme qua non of Atlanta.
The Telegraph, in announcing that, the
extra train has left to bring the “big folks”
who have been invited to theilaeou Fair,
hopes that no ruinous consequences will
come of it We furthermore hope that
some, of the red hot old game cocks, who
run papers in Georgia, will hold in their np-
bubbling bile while the Fair is going on,
and not wantonly insnlt onr invited guests.
The papers of the State, almost without
exception, heartily condemn tha action of
the regulators who killed the in Chat
tooga county. His name was Bara, not
Boss, as before stated.
The Cincinnati Commercial think* that
Congress will confine itself to action upon
financial and commercial qnestions. We
hope it will It will require century Jof
legislation to correctly adjust a scheme to
keep the country from financial nun.
The Selma Times, lamenting over the
scarcity of fractional currency, joins the
general clamor, and cries for gold in ex
change for Southern products. He writes
a strong leader on the subject, and quotes
Texas and California as instances of the
prosperity attending such a system.
The Montgomery Advertiser says that
the State Fair at that place will be a grand

The editor of the Chattanooga Enterprise
thus goes for our facetious correspondent,
we are going to torn him over to P. P. bnt we
cot refrain from calling attention to two
or three statements in his letter.
“Chattanooga—the Chicago and Pitts
burg combined of the South” of cours
the dusty and smutty dirtiness of Pittsburg,
and the Radicalism of Chicago—a sweet
combination “Rome a suburb of'Chatta
nooga”—oh yes! all right—you know Josh
Billings says “The hornet is a strong city
bnt his main strength lies in his snbnrb”
making the application we are your
suburb. “Buy tho wholo of Georgia”—oh
my—but without more comment we surren
der you to the mastication of P. P.
A Roman Punch.
We give place this morning to a letter
descriptive of Chattanooga, from tbe pen of
“Peregrine P n " otherwise known as Bill
Arp, in order that the startling facts there
in presented may be preserved for the edi
fication and instruction of generations yet
unborn. The writer has lira unfortunate'
trait in his character, that whenever he
opens his month, he pots his foot in it
Some timeago,he was exiled from his native
State of Georgia, for making the blasphe
mous statement that the “country papers of
Georgia, had about as much news in them
as a last year’s ja/ bird’s nest,” and he has
since .that time joined Gideon’s band,
“sarehingfor a home.”Itis fair to presame
that jnst previous to the time he commenc
ed the composition of this remarkable let
ter, the familiar exhortation of the “band,”
beginning, “Twixt yon and I, 1 really
think,” had. been uttered in hia hearing,
which intensified his natural prejudice
against water, and made necessary for his
relief such a manifestation of that prejudice
as is to be seen in this letter.
It is notin us to turn against a poor e:
lie, however he may have .wounded onr
sensibilities by the bitterness and profanity
so natural to a homeless wanderer, aggrava
ted, it may be, by a too free indulgence in
the consolations so largely sought by the
members of Gideon’s band. His misfor
tunes have palliated his crimes, and we has
ten to assure him that in his dreary exile,
we are still wifiiag to afford him* tempo-
ryrefuge in Chattanooga,' tbe Chicago and
Pittsburg combined of the South. We say
a temporary refuge, because his native city
of Rome, has already become one of our
suburbs, and finds its business irresistibly
drawn towards us, and it is not improbable
that ultimately we shall be compelled to ab
sorb Atlanta, and perhaps the whole State
of Georgia, in. order, to provide room for
the transaction of our increasing business.
It may be that a prophetic glimpse into the
future has revealed this fact to the editor
of the Rome Courier, and hence his alacri
ty in publishing the letter which we have
copied although, in order that it might not
npon the pnhlio car, he was earn-
to withhold the writer’s true name.
_ the event of the realization of thsse an
ticipations, our exile’s safety as a refuge
here, would, of course, he abruptly termina
ted, "“1ms he were to repent in sack-cloth
and asbw, {or in old sack and new cloth,)
of his blasphemy against the Georgs
Still he need sot even then despair, for
the hospitable wilds of Knoxville or Wan-
hatchie will yet be open to him, and come
what may, we will never feayo (um. It shall
never he said of ns, that we cogid so far
forget the duties of humanity, whatever his
misfortunes have compelled or may compel
him to do, as to entertain other senti
ments toward him than those compassion
ate feeling whieh his pitiable condition
craves from every man for a poor wandering
refugee.
We can’t do it Bill. * Not by no means.
So come, rest in this bosom, ourown strick
en deer! We will protect you we have
annexed Georgia to Chattanooga, and then
s will provide y«* a safer place qfrefago.
DEATH OF GEOEGE FJEABODY.
The telegraph brings us tbe melancholy
news of the death of George Peabody, the
great American mere hint and philanthro
pist, which occurred in London on Thurs-
Mr. Peabody was born at Danvers, Mass ,
on the 18 th day of Febnary, 1795, and was
consequently, at the time of hia death, in
75th year. His parents were poor, and all
the education he received was at the dis
trict school of his native town. In 1814 he
became a partner of Mr. Elisha Riggs, in
the wholesale dry goods trade, at George
town, D. C. In 1815 the house was re
moved to Baltimore, where it did a large
business; and in 1822 branches were es
tablished in New York and Philadelphia.
In 1827 Mr. Riggs retired, and Mr. Pea
body became aeuior partner of the house. _
He visited Enrope a number of times in
the interests «f the boose, and in 1837 took
up his residence permanently in England.
In 1833 he withdrew from his old firm and
established himself in London as a merchant
and banker. Here be built up an un-
anse business and amassed a princely fer
ae.
Mr. Peabody was a man of unbounded
liberality, having given from time to time
almost fabnlons sums for charitable pur
poses. His munificent gilt for educational
purposes in the South, with other evidenc
es of good will and liberality towards an
oppressed people, have endeared him to the
hearts of Southerners, who will rineercly
deplore his loas -Sat . Adv.

about the same as a good team aad wagon,
