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. fht. cotton crop of the present year will yield a larger income than any we have ev- e - planted it has been demonstrated that cotton can be grown nowhere but in the South, and this knowledge gives ns a last- tag and priceless monopoly. And the mil- i°Ho we receive in payment for our ootton Oca not, as it did in the days of yore, go Vest and North to procure subsistence for ,, ar “ ers .. who used their whole lands for e pro uctinn of this staple, but is invest- at home, as our people havo found out t e total cotton crop” system is a fbil- e, aod hence, almost without exception, Pte for varied crops.

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 were supporters of Bollock and Grant. Dr. 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 success, and that the people of East Ala bama are in a furor about onr State Fair.— success to both of them. The Federal Union keeps standing at the head of its columns a protest entered by the Grand Jury of Baldwin county, against the removal of the Capital from Milledge- ville. The Attorney General* as derided that Cirenses don't have to pay comity tax. At a fire in Washington, Ga, Genera Toombs gray mare, “Alice Grey,” was burned to death. • . .

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.

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 .
