The greateet fear wie have 'dbont-the!
election is that its postponement will enable
Congress to farther interfere and 'prevent
it. An election’ even 'under Akerman’s
bill will he a defeat t) the Radical party in
Georgia. Even the iniquity of the. elec
tion bill will defeat it if nothing else
would. We know quite a number of Repub
licans who are arrayed against' itabd/ wifl.

the infamy of the election bill. Thus jt is,

THE DA1TON PAIR.
We had the pleasure of paying a short
visit to the Fair Grounds at Dalton bn last
Thursday. The grounds are well selected
and admirably arranged, and all the facili
ties offered for a grand exhibition. Col,
Tibbs, Mr. Palmer, Dr. Falsom, Col. Ben
Greene and Capt Horn, -with perhaps one
or two others, hawe taken great interest in
this matter and accomplished nearly all
that has been done. ,
We regret exceedingly that their labors
have not- been more fully appreciated.—
Though the exhibition and attenance were
neither as large as was hoped for, yet we
doubt not a spirit, of rivalry and a laudable
ambition to cxcelf: has been aroused, that in
subsequent exhibitions will tell favorably on
the mechanical eoad agricultural prosperity
of Upper Georgia. While, however, the
amount of stock, and agricultural imple
ments was co'nparatively small, the la
dies’ departme nt, God bless their precious
souls, was welL supplhcl with elegant spec
imens of their handy-work.
We hope onr Dalton friends will perse
vere in th>»ir noble enterprise. The - time
of the Fa : ir this year was quite unfortunate
there being a similar- exhibition goiiig on
at the s ame time at N ashville, Knoxville,
Cartcrsville and Macoii- But they have
now plaote d the seed—let them tend well
the crop, and next year they may’hope to
reap aft.nr harvest. up uit-
THE COMING MAN. '■ ' ' ;
Go< orge P. Barnett is the fortunate one.
The fatted calf which is to be offered upon
the Radical altar for the 7th Congressional
dis trict. He it is who has been selected by
G/.e Kingston Convention, to measure
strength with the young war horse of De
mocracy, and he it is who will he so badly,
beaten next December, that he will not
know his own head from a pumpkin. Well
we are glad that George h as been selected.
He is a fair representative of radicalism.
His connection with the State Road was a
very fit school for congressional trickery,
and should he by a bare possibility, be so
extremely fortunate as to be elected, he
will be able to hold an. even hand with
the most expert exploiters of them all.

AVe see frdm 'the Montgomery Advcrti-
tgEr that the peace of this pleasant little Al-
ibam. a city is sadly disturbed by the vio
lence o. f riots and bloodshed.
It aeo. ms that the Radical meeting held
in that pt ace on the 3d was a very unhar-
monious o.ue, and the speeches of Elephant
Morris and .rope dancer Rice were not at all,
eendnoive to allay the ill feeling.
The day before a hrntal attack had been
tmado upon a gentleman named McGhee by
unknown parties, which resulted in a seri
ous and dangerous wound. This was the
premonition of'thp bloody wort that was
to Mow. i-i^ t
After the speaking had conolnded on the'
3d, and the bad blood stirred up by the.
speeches had been intensified by a proper
quantity of bad whisky, the disaffected loy
alists mads an attack upon a congregation
of negroes who had assembled at Little
Zion Church, thescenoof the summer dis
turbances, by an indiscriminate firing upon
the unarmed crowd—soon strewd the floor
with dead and dying.
This scene of murder and outrage is hut
the legitimate consequence of„Radioal

I am glad, however, to notice from the

North is being disabused and their eyes
opened, so that they begin to see the vil

and backed up in their schemes of plunder
and personal aggrandizement, believing,no
doubt, that they were sustaining the cause
of justice and equity, and are now bestow
ing the merited rebnke those acts deserve.
I feel confident that all that is needed to
remedy the evil, is for our northern people
to become acquainted with the true facts in
the case. Life and property are as safe here
as in Iowa, and the people arc as peaceably

»iiJ Tlie'l>a»t Uucoln -Statue. 1 ten’
A frightful object, exclaims the New-
York Times, has been placed in Union
Square. It is said to be a statue of a man
.who deserves to be held in lasting remem
brance a lruo patriot, a sincerej [unselfish,
noble hearted chief in times of great trou
ble and perplexity —Abraham Linooln. But
it does not resemble Mr. Lincoln. The
lines which gave the face charactei are not
there. But the sculptor has tried to atone
for his defect by‘putting plenty of bard
lines in-tho-clothes, which are enoughs to
man. , „
The mind hasnot conceived such a pair
of paotaloons'aB that which (the. artist has
put on his statue. To increase the beauty
of their -effect, the designer , of tbe^work
has clapped a Roman toga over the ppper
part of the figure, thos Combining the cos
tome of the past and present' in a matter
never yet dreamed of by caricaturists.—-
There never was sueh a statue seen in this,
world before. It is like the hideous night-,
mare which people have after supper on
roast pork and lobster salad. How much
it cost to make it and putit up, we do not
know, bat we will gladly receive subscrip
tions toward the expense of taking it down
and sending it off to, Chicago, where works
cf art of this kind are, highly appreciated.

o'clock in toe afternoon of the 13tb, the
first and second cotters were launched and
provisions placed in them, but there was
no fresh water, in consequence ofthe sea
having risen into the tanks: Perfect or

sel, and after the second cutter had been
shoved off, with the second officer, first as
sistant engineer and fourteen seaman, Cap:
tain Gordon, with Mr. Watson,Thomas Ed
wards, second assistant engineer, and eleven
seaman took to the first cutter. There was
a heavy swell,bnt no wind,and at ten min
utes past five the steamer sank, stern fore
most, with al( sails set.
The two'boats steered for Abaco, in the'
Bahamas, but, the night being dark, they
became seperated, and nothing was seen
of the second cutter’s lights after midnight.
Next morning the first cotter saw a schoon-
distant, and tried to
without success. At
nine o’clock that night toe schooner Tam

which place they were forwarded to Balti
more io the steamer Cuba, by Mr. Tift,'toe
agent of the Baltimore, Havana and New
Orleans Steamship Company. No fears
are entertained by Captain Gordon or Mr.
Watson for the safety ofthe second entter,
as she probably reached Abaco on the
same night that the first entter was picked

Bishop Potter ou War.
Bishop Potter in his annual address be
fore the Diocesan Council in New York
said:
Wo hear from the Continent of Europe
fearful stories of war and desolation—sto
ries which thrill ns with horror and sorrow,
All the bright dreams of peace vanished
before the ambition of political leaders and
professional warriors. The inhabitants
which claim with pride to lead the march
of civilization and progress, engage in a
slaughter of human beings which has hard
ly parallel in extent in history, and this is
in a land and in an age when religion claim
to exert fall sway.
We, who have lately passed through a
terrible and bloody war, can appreciate the
awful responsibility of those who are gnilty
ef foroing this struggle upon the people of
France and Germany. Yet wo have ad
vanced so greatly in the arts and io science
they tell ns, and now these Christian na
tions do naaght with all their inveetions
and improvements bat form them into
ENGINES FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF LIFE.
In the fur off inti nor of China and Ja
pan they hear, by the same ships which
carry onr missionaries, oi this war in a
Christian country, The people to whom
we preach peace catch ns continually at war
and they learn ti. spurn onr teachings and
advances for their conversion with scorn
and contempt. They say justly, ‘Yon
preach peace eternally, but you eternally
fight. Yon have peace in yonr months war
in your hearts ” Thos the condition of

FOUNDERING OF THE STEAMER
GALATEA.
From the New York Herald,we take toe
following account of the loss at Sea, of toe
Steamer Galatea, a Haytien vessel.
Mr. James Watson, chief officer of too
steamer Galatea, arrived in this city yester
day with a few. survivors of. that vessel,
which foundered at sea on toe-13th inst—
The Galatea was a hark figged propeller of
1^200 tons, and was built in 1861 for toe
United States Navy. _ She participated in
ihe blockade of too .Southern ports, and at
toe. close of toe war. : was sold to the Hay-
tied government.. -.She was m several ac

was captured she was sold to a-Mr. Re viere,
of Port au Prince, who sent her to Petit
Gonaives, where BheJoSBed wijh a cargo

Carrol & Co., of Boston.. Leaving Port au

Agricultural Reconstruction In the Sou til.
Speaking of our State Fair, and com
menting upon the wonderful resources of
our country, toe New York Herald says:
One hundred thousand people can be
accommodated—and that number is ex
pected to attend. A premium list amount
ing to twenty-five thousand dollars is offered
the citizens of Atlanta presenting a spe
cial premium of two thousand dollars for
the fattest trotting horse—‘open to the
world.’
Here we find a practical illustration of
agricultural reconstruction in the South.
It ia a form of reconstruction that all the
politicians who ever assembled in the city
of Washington were never able to frame or
accomplish.
Nature, and the fruitful resources of
the Southern country, give to that portion
of our nation a power more potent than toe
monarchs of Europe will attain by war or
the prestige of war in continental Europe.
In doe time we hope to re-establish the
American flag. as toe emblem of commer
cial freedom upon all toe seas. The South
ern people will help up our republic toward
the attainment of this end.
If iron ships are built on the British
Clyde it is now demonstrated that iron
ships can be bnilt 'upon onr own Delaware,
and a test of speed, power, capacity and
safety, among them all, will eventuallyin-
sore to American iron built steamers the
palm of superiority.
The South, iu its era of renewed prosperi
ty, we repeat, will put a shoulder to toe
wheel which pushes the republic onward in
itscareerof commercial greatness and its
imperishable devotednesg to republican lib*
erty all over the world.
Military A rrooance and Ambition
jr Prussia.—Our special correspondence
from Namur and Bouillon, on the Belgian
frontier, gives a most harrowing description
ofthe condition of toe people in the city
and neighborhood of Sedan, under the
Prussian rale, how thousands of them are
seeking refuge in Belgium and how the en
tire population of the province of Alsace is
reduced to poverty and menaced With act
ual famine.
The Prussians are carrying jtoings'wfth
a hand in Belgium, and are heard to boast
that after France will cone Belgium, and
after Belgium Holland, and after Holland

And yet toe English and Yankee toad

of October,'passengers can leave by the

and why do we say so ?
Because it .turns over every man’s real
estate in the city into ' the 'hands of other
men, to control, manage and. dispose .of at
their will or vote, and against the. will or
vote of the owner, who has paid his money
for the same, and into the hands of him
who has paid nothing for it; and dot - con-'
tent with this wrong and injustice, it abso
lutely takes it out of the hands of the right
ful owner, and tarns it-over to. the will and
vote of the 15th amendments; to mortgage
for $100,000, in Spite of the true owner,
If this is so, are we not - right' in saying
this is a bad and nnjost law, and ought not
to have been passed f Now we will see:
Upon the issue or sale of these bonds,
-the real estate of the city is the property
mortgaged for their .ultimate payments.—
Then ought not the owners of this real es
tate alone to say by their voles whether or
not they are willing ' that their property
should or should not be encumbered for
the payment of this debt. Would it be
right or just for those who have no inter
est in the real estate, to judge and deter
mine by their votes what it is the interest
and dnty of other people, as to how they
shall dispose and incamber their property
and that too in defiance of the solemn pro
test of the property owners, that they alone
have toe right to controll and encumber
their own property, if they should choose
so to do ? and yet this law virtually takes
this property oat of the hauds of the true
owners and pats it into the hands of a
class of voters who have not one dollar in
terest, or care for its welfare, other than as
they may imagine, under the power given
them by this law, they can vote the dispo
sition of other people’s property, io some
way to promote their individual iutirest,
fancy or notion.
This act is nothing but a gross legisla
tive usurpation. Bnt how does this law
accomplish all this mischief 7 By author
izing the issuance of these bonds upon a
majority vote of the legal voters of toe
city; and who are the legal voters of the
city ? Real estate owners (living in the
town) non real estate owners, and the
whole fifteenth amendment. How does toe
relative numbers of these different classes
cf voters stand ? The fifteenth amend
ment alone largely ontnnmbers the olass of
real estate owners tiring in toe corporation.
The class of white voters who do not own
real estate in the city more than doubles
the class that does. Then we conclude
that not more (if bo much) than one-fourth
of the legal voters of the city are the own.
ers of real estate in the city, consequently
if they choose to exercise the power given
them under this law, the non real estate
roles in toe city, can imposes burden and
t legal encumbrance of . 8100,000 on . the
property of the real estate owners of the
city, at their whim dr caprice and the real
estate owners can’t help themselves, and are
utterly without remedy. Then is not this
a hard and unjust law and ought not to have
been passed ?
But it may be said that these non real
estate owners, also pay city taxes. True,
many of them pay a street tax of three
dollars. , Don’t the real estate voters also
pay this tax ? which is much less than vo
ters in toe country are liable to pay, they
being subject to fifteen days road working
per annnm. Yes, bnt many of these non
real estate voters pay a city tax on their
goods, wares, merchandise and professions;
well, don’t many of the real estate voters
pay a like tax ?
Really these incidental taxes has noth
ing to do with the question. He who pays
a street, tax alone can leave tiro corporation
ip. twenty-four hours, if he chooses to do
so, and he who pays a tax on his merchan
dise can remove them at anytime or pleas
ure to any other location out of the corpo
ration, and tike the street tax payer, avoid
the tax. Not so with toe real estate own
er; his real estate is a fixture, he cau’tmove
it out of the corporation, but is compelled
to face the music now and' forever. It is
therefore the only tangible species of prop
erty that is to be mortgaged by this vote
for the redemption.bf this 8100,000. The
only way the city real estate owner can get
out of it is to sell out (if he can find a
purchaser) h s property at his pro rata
share of the sacrifice of toe 8100,000, By
the time this mode of proceedure increases
the value of city property, doubles the local
business and tiro'population, the youngest
child now kora iu the city, will be greyer
than a Norwegian rat
If the issuance of bonds by the city for
internal improvements, or to aid in build
ing railroads, should be considered a desir
able object, there is a method by which it
might be done, with some semblance of
reason and justice. Let every real estate
owner iu,toe city, who owns 8500 worth or.
less, have,one vote, and .every real estate
owner, according to the assessed value, of
his property, have onp.additional vote ibr
every additional $500 worth of. his prope£,
ty, whether they live in or out of the .cor
poration, and if they choose, let them vote
by proxy, whether-thap.boL-inala or female,
whiteorblaekl : • ■■on
This method would bo fait* for the major
ity, but might not be exactly computable
with toe rights of the minority to control
their own property. Certainly toe persons
interested are the only ones who have any
rights in this matter whatever. We think
however, that it is best for every one who
may desire snch stock, to take it on their
own hook, and if it is a good thing, then
they get all the good of it, hot there are
some persons, having tittle business of their
own, become so very patriotio as even to
atk ah act of toe Legislature to allow them
to attend to their neighbors’.
Yet this law takes (virtually) all toe
right, in this respect, out of the bands of
those legally and morally entitled to them,
;h(s, illegally and immor
ally,'into toe hands of those who have no
shadow of right or claim to them. Are we
notrightlu saying (his is a bad and. un
just law, and ought never to have; been
to tax the people Ofthe ebuntytopay bonds
and compounds to toe amount of 840,000,
or 850,000,! when, the county has never re
ceived one dollar from these bonds. All
this' is ihe result' of precipitate and inde
cent^action.. • 1: :
A similar law has been passed anthoriz
ing the City Council to issue and sell, an
other 8X00,000 worth of her bonds to pur
chase stock ia toe Roue & Decatur Kail,
.road. Pat all ofthese sums together, with
“the'present indebtedness of the eity, which
I understand is 820,000 or 30,000, and you
would have a debt pf “ttleast 8260,000, the.
.annualinterest of which vruld be, at 7
per cent, 818,200.
If these bonds should be issued and sold
what would be the condition of the real es
tate ot the city T Property, holders will be
for selling out at auy price they can get.—
Now, I want Rome to swell out as big as
she can stand it. bnt I do 1 ot want her to

“The cowardly cant about ‘accepting the

BEAUTIFUL AURORAL LIGHT IN
CALIFORNIA.
Tlie Pneuomcna Extends from New York to
California.
[From the Alta California, Sept: 25.]
1 roai several parts of the State, and al
so from Virginia City, Nevada, we have
had accounts of the appearanre recently of
beautiful auroral tights iu the heavens.—
We do hot suppose, however, that any of
them beat our particular aurora, witnessed
last night nitn great perfection from all
parts of the city. Many imagin d that
there was a great conflagration somewhere,
and it is a wonder that tho whole Fire De
partment did not turn out. A gentleman
in onr office at the time of its greatest bril
liancy, shortly after ten o'clock, did thiuk
that he had got hold of a first rate fire
item, and rushed wildly down California
street after it.
The light, of a beautiful reseatc liue,
with streaks and streamers of (doubtless)
electric light, ever and anon shooting up
ward from it, seemed to move impercep'.!-
. ly from north- northwest to north-northeast
before it finally died. Unliko the auroia
borealis as seen in the Northern latitudes,
it hid few of those white, moonlike streaks
and “SDakes” of electricity described by
those who have seen it,and it may not be cor
rect to call it by that name. Anyhow, it
was a beautiful aDd a very impressive-
sight.
We learn that the Aurora was also seen
last night at all points East on the line of
the telegraph, at North Platte and other
places 1,600 to 1,700 miles east of Man
Francisco. An Omaha despatch says that,
the lights were visable clear through the
Atlantic seaboard. That the aurora vas
due to electrical influences is proved l y
toe fact that the telegram wires were most
influenced by it. For a time it was hardly
possible for the Omaha operators to work
with New York. Part of time tiiis was
still more apparent in the extreme E stern
States.
Between Buffalo and New York the tele
graph was rendered useless. It could alsr
not be worked for some time east id Su.t
Lake and onr regular despatches were in
terrupted" and closed at an earlier ..uur
than usual. We: re not sure that this was
looked upon as’a serious or unmitigated
calamity by some of the tired workers iu
onr office. An occasional aurora is not bad
in its way. We question whether any au
roral light has ever been witnessed over
so large an extent of country. Some pre
dict, from its appearance, earthquakes ;
others the approaching end of the world;
but the probabilities arc in favor of a
continuance of the regular older of things.
The aurora was seen at intervals up to an
early hour this morning.

Once again the women of Massachusetts
and other sections of the country arc on
the war path for their civil, political and
kindred right*. This time, to use a home
ly and emphatic phrase, they seem to mean
business. -They declare that the time lor
eloquence and display hrs passed, and that
the hour for determined and energetic ac

seriously inspired with the idea of denounc

parties, and organizing and working on
