Marietta lirau Baud Lai received iU iiixtr u- manta. Tha Rome City Couucil advertUes for pro posals to build water works. An Agricultural Society has been formed at Powder Springs la Cobb oounty. Superior Court nf Cobb county begins its session at Marietta next Monday. The Central Railroad at its own expense is going to nut the Niobolson pavement on one street in Savaunali. The Augusta papers announce the huddeu death from paralysis of Mr. Win. 11. Crane an old resident of that city. Tha Rome Courier of yesterday says : We ware informed bv many farmers wbo visited our office yesterday that there has Ixjcii pret ty heavy frosts for tho last two or three morn ings. A little son of Mr. G. T. Carr, of this city, says the Covington Examiner, had his thigh broken on Monday evening last, while at play with some other little boys. It seems that hit* playmates had wound a rope round his legs and pulled the rope to spiu him round like a top, when he was thrown down and his thigh brokeu. Tbel of a fatal affray between two young uien named Samuel Colson and T. N. Mason, which the latter was killed. The shooting took place at Coley’s Station on the Macon A Brunswick Railroad. Mason and Colson were intimate friends, and the unfortunate affair grew out of tho former choking the lat ter about his sweetheart. The Americus Republican, of Thursday, says: We learn that on tho 21st inst., Mr. Jesso Chambliss, of this county, shot a negro man whom lio had ordered from bis cotton- field, who told him if he attempted to drive him from the field he would Bhoot him, and started to draw a pistol, when Mr. C. raised his gun and fired a load of bird shot in the negroes’ face, from the effect of which he will only lose one eye. Mr. James Woodruff, of Newton county, killed himself lost Saturday by the accidental discharge of a Colt’s Repeater. He had dis charged one chamber of the pistol, and cock ing the hammer, was proceeding to disoharge the second chamber; ho was in tho habit of bringing the pistol down to a Hue square to the right, consequently he raised the pistol over his shoulder, with the muzzle in range with his neck and head, and while in this po sition the pistol fired, the ball taking effect in the neck, rangiug up through tho brain, pro ducing death almost instantly. The Rome Courier says: The people of Wills Valley gave a barbecue to the capitalists of Boston who are building the above men tioned railroad. Gen. N. B. Forrost, Gov. Smith and other distinguished persons, were present. About twenty millions of Boston capital was represented, and the capitalists expressed themselves as highly delighted with the country. The road will now be raipdly pushed through to its completion. It is an important enterprise, and wo are glad to see that it prospers. Forney seems of late to be highly impress ed with the prospects of Georgia, Speaking of tho agricultural fairs to be held throughout tho country this fall, bo says "that at Macon, Ga., on the lGth of November, seems to at tract tho most general attention. Twenty thousand Georgians and ten thousand citi zens from other States aro expected. Macon is easy of access by direct railroad, and the Northerner will be gratified by all he sees on the route, and by the {marvelous wealth aud enterprise of Georgia, tho Empire State of the South.” Tho Cutbbert Appeal says of tbo equinoc tial gale: This usual visitor, which nil began to fancy had given us tho go-bye for the pres ent season, gathering its forces in the stormy caverns of tho north east, made a furious de scent on Saturday night, after skirmishing lightly the day previous. Seldom have we witnessed such a rain ns fell betwecu tho hours of 9 p. m. and 1 a. m. on that night. Much cotton left tho nudnlating fields of uid Ran dolph incontinently, to mingle with the streams that are ever ocean bound. Tho Marietta Journal of yesterday says : Tuesday night List wo witnessed a beautiful meteor moving through tho vast space of the universe with a train of light, to the eye, two yards long. It started from the Northwest portion of the Heavens and directed its course Southeast, until it found, apparently, a lodg ment among tho “fixed stars,” where it con tinued to dazzle with brilliancy its tail of lu minous substance, for near five minutes, then it gradually expired into feint, mellow light, and then ceased to be visible.

The DouLONs--The twin Dorlous—A. and I\— of Fulton Market, have joined tho Fat Men’s Association, their 218 pounds each en titling them to admission. Fisk—Harvey Fisk, the opulent Wall street broker, was an impecunious dry goods clerk in Trenton a few years ago. lu his case bruins have told, ut least in financial matters. Merrill—Some of tho people in Iowa be lieve that Governor Merrill will not appoint a successor to Senator Grimes. If ho does not, ho will be unlike most persons who have of fices within their absolute gift. Tub Beechers.—If tho Beecher family would only engage in some sort of patent- medicine business now, their fortunes would be made. They aro the best advertised pea plo in the world. Hyacinths—The preacher monk bearing this name has abandoned his convent, uud ceased to preach in tho Church of Notre Dame, Paris. This is regarded as a great re ligious and political event. A Weighty Family.—At Red Bank, N. Y.. reside a brother and two sisters who weigh respectively 264, 290 and 224 pounds. Throe Bisters, in the same place, weigh, it is said, G80 pounds in tho aggregate. Grkely—The Richmond Whig nominates Horace Greeley for Senator from Virginia. — a day’s residence would comply An hour’s with the law, and'tho Whig thinks that Air. Greeley is just the man for tho position. Greene—N. U. Grttue, Esq., son of Col. Charles G. Greene, of tho Boston Post, is the managing editor and bon-mottete of that pa per. He is one of the most prolific and bril- liaut paragraphists in the country.

Tho three years of journalism (bat have fol lowed have bean laborious and stormy beyond all procodont in our expcrlcnoo in journalism, which commenced in 1846. The chaotic condi tion in which the war left South era society aud Southern industrial interests cf all kiuds ; the hahU of uncertainty and appreheuiivoncss into which the peoplo had fallen ; the lack of con fidence in politicians snd political movemouts, all opuratod dclvtorionsly to the interests of newtqiapers and rendered their existence more precarious than we should like to havo it again become. Every year papers sprang up and perished all over the Southern country. Ho many experiments, which were commenced under flattering auspices, failed, that there came to bo almost a superstitious dread of the fatality which scorned to he pursniug the uewspaper business to its destruction. The New Era was not permitted to oscapo the storm in which so uiauy gullaut crafts wout down. The billows have time and again lashed furiously around its sides. At timed one could almost hear its keel grating against the breakers. All around was darkness and political incertitude. The political skies were Almost opaque with clouds. “Wutchumn, what of tho night?” was askod; but uo answer came from the shrewdest seutinel upon the tower. Through this tryiug period, none but the most skillful piloting could have saved the craft. Turning, therefore, a bold front to the storm, .md ul .er a full spread of cauvas, we determiued that it it was fated that the vessel ►hould go dovn, it should go with colors flying, and its last gnu booming defi ance over the furious waters. But the Era outrode all the storms that curuo upon it. It has literally fought its way through all opposition, aud we are gratified to announce that it is to day upon a smoother sea and in fairer circumstances than it bus ever beeu. There are no breakers in sight. The shoals have drifted away, and rejoioiugiu the viotories won in three bitter and protracted campaigns, a full 6ail is still spread and its prow is turned towards Republicanism—which is the concrete of patriotism, uuionism and loyalty. It has been our purpose in publishing the Era to oppose all extremo ideas, which usu* ally mean revolution. We knew that tho mid dle ground was tho only safe one, and upon this it was our purpose to rally tho people in defense of the Union. Hero wo have stood and havo fought. The victories won in the 1 ito campaigns were, in the aggregate, but a tithe of tbo victory that is near at hand. The peoplo -tho proud, imperial poople—have be come wearied with partisan ideas and factious leadership, and havo resolved to think, pro ject uud act for thomselves. They want peace, and for it they are willing to give loyally to tho Government aud their faith to tho Union. Upon this idea a great gathering of the clans is taking place, uud soon the cry will be, “diuna ye hear the Slogan,” aud (lit u there will bo such a swelling of the ranks of mod erate Republicanism as will send tho lily-liv ered Dcmociacy. cowed and whipped, into ignominy and oblivion. The Southern peo ple have just began to learn the theory of Re publicanism, and as fast as they learn it, they understand how beautifully it is adapted to tlio true theory of our National Government, and immediately they love it and embrace it. This is Lie < lid tiial the Era has all along had in view’, uud now wo are enabled to r« joico in the prospect of a speedy consummation of tho hope we have entertained. And tlio victory that is coming will ho greater than any that have passed. "General Grant—tho pilot who can aud will guide tho ship of State safely through every storm,” is tho motto which stands and will contiuue to stand nt the head of the pa per. Thereunto oar faith is pledged, aud in it wc find a political creed which governs Re publicans, and which nil parties will, in the end, find to bo true. Wo advocated his nomi nation and election, and will sustain his ad ministration, believing that in tho ono wo did, and in the other may do the country n solid service. To support his administration wo con ceivo to be the speediest and safest way to e perfect restoration of tlio Union, which should bo tho present aim of newspapers and politi- parh ‘Arguing" il>* Circle—Gen. l.ongutreet. Tho Gon.it.tUtio.. s last effort upon General Longstroet lucks eve.; *he tamo merit of origi nality. It simply rc-u-iseits that Gen. Long- street is an apostate, aud then, in proof of this, gravely cites its own previous assertion of that fact! This is a species of logic peculiar to desperation, and in mercy to the flounder ing assailant wo do not care to press him further. He will learn, however, by reference to the article in this journal of 'Tuesday, that ho lias not only failed to nnswer the statements therein made ; but that he has uctuully failed to comprehend tho plainest terms of tho Eng lish language. Else why did ho mistake tho lines quoted, as belonging to Tam O'Shautor? Our i xotUtion was first to read Tarn O’.SImn- Ithen sing tho dnxology, beginning: ) wad some power tlio gift Uo gio us,’’ Ac. Any school girl knows the difference be tween Turn O’Sliauter and tho lines inspired by tho presence of a parasite on a Indies bon net! We supposed our friend could at least rend English !

Tho Intelligencer having failed editorially to answer onr interrogatories aud strictures os to its political status, wo consider that wo have gained our point aud remain unanswered. Its anonymous correspondence is ill-timed and out of place. Ciiamn -Ruv. Dr. Chapin suspended his universalist creed for one day, and poured r#al holl-firo into Wall street. Central Oraat's Administration. That* vein those who made up their ttnuds at early an tho 4th of liaroh, of tha present year, that Gan. Grant'* Administration was (or should be) “• failare." Not willing to give tho President a trial, thoy made up their minds to prqjudgo hi* administration, aud to approve of nothing which he might do. 01 course "Democrats” of tho Blair-Hampton school could never hope to see anything good resulting from the defeat of their own choice iu the seleotlon of a Chief Magistrate. Like Sir Leicester Dedlock, they oonsldorod every thing Fordiliou hound booauso their wishr* had not beeu consulted, and their friends pro vided for! Nor were those ulouo iu their murmers against the newly eleetd President. Whilst there is not, iu the very nature of things, a lucrative office for ouo Republican iu a thou sand, among those who deem themselves worthy of positiou, a strange hallucination seemed to seize every ivolitioiun who voted for Gun. Grant that he was of a right "entitled to something’’for services rendered; and he- o nine they were not tho recipients of sub stantial luvors, they, too, fell to abusing tho Administration before it had been on trial sixty days. Homo of these controlled Repub lican newspapers, and havo reude*ed them selves ridiculous by petty assaults upon the Prosideut. But the day of this temporary discordance is passing away. Republicans who in the hour of personal chagrin aud disappointment allowed themselves to fall into inadvertences of speech, have measurably ceased to grum ble; and Democmts, finding no assailable poiut, have relapsed iuto sullen indifference. Seven months has p lap sod since President Grunt took the oath of office, and to-day his Administration is strong in tho confidence of the Peoplo. His wise polioy on Reconstruc tion has given Virginia to the Republican party and to the Union; and, under the inspi ration of the same policy, Mississippi and Texas are bound to follow. Wo no longer behold the humiliating spectacle of a Govern ment divided against itself, as was the case under the great Democratic Apostate; on the contrary, tho Executive and Legislative Do partments aro in perfect accord, nnd the con summation of Reconstruction under the Con gressional enactments, is only a question of time. The financial policy of the Administration has inspired confidence in commercial circles. Steadily, week by week, and day by day, has the Public Debt been diminishing under the able administration of Mr. Bontwell, and men who were despondent ninety days ago, are no longer so. They well know that, under such management, the creditors of the nation are indemnified, and tho honor of the Repnblic safe. This, in itself, is sufficient to commend the new* Administration to all clear headed aud candid men of all parties; nnd, if we mis take not the indications, it is rapidly bringing the Administration into favor oven with tLe moderate Democrats. When Gen. Grant assumed tho duties aud responsibilities of his high office, he found tlio frontiers iu a condition of devastating warfare. Millions of trensnro were being spent m the maintenance of a war with num erous predatory tribes of hostile Indians. Tho question was well worth considering whether huuiauity did not demand a change of policy touching these difficulties with tho red men ; and under tho chango made by President Grant, peace lias beeu measurably restored.—• Tlio Commanding General, in tho Depart ment of the Lower Arknr.sas, embracing the Comanche and Kiowa reservations, reports that all tho Indian troubles aro now over; and that, so long as the present policy is pursued, the Indians will remain pcacouble and friendly. The signal success of this humane policy of tho Administration, touching tho Indiau troubles, has not only iuspired confidence in the ability and efficiency of the President, oveu among bis political enemies; but it has effectually silenced tho assaults of those who have persistently predicted tho failure of a policy which introduced tho Quaker clement in an emergency of such a character. It has furthermore savod millions to the National Treasury—a consideration, which, although great in itself, dwindles into insignificance when compi red with that exulted Statesman ship which would substitute successful diplo macy for that brute forco which is too often resorted to by the strong against tho weak; and which, at best, can only enforco a hollow truce, not a lasting peace.

Columbus De lano, Commissioner of lofornsl Roveuua con tains an able and striking summary or that part of tho AdministratiotTa work which has come under his own offloiul notice. It con firms by faots and figures the declaration so often made in our oofonins, that it would soon be /ound that the effective work of the present Administration would oomnare favor ably with that of any of its predecetaors.— While the witlings have been letting slip their ■hafts at what thoy are pleased to censure as the Government’s "idleness," retrenchment and economy have everywhere been going on apace, and none the loss effectively because to quietly. Take the single urticle of whisky. Tbo to tal quantity on which revenue taxes were col lected for the fiscal year c.diug Juue 30, 1868, (I. uuder President Johnson,) was only 6,709,546 gallons. The revenue then was at the rule of two dollars a gallon, and amounted, therefore, to between thirteen and fourteen millions of dollars. On tho oontrary, for tho year ending Juno, 18C9, the Bureau of Internal ltovonuo has had returns of annual taxes on no loss than 62,009,331 gallons of whisky I Again, compare tho revenuo receipts from January to June, inclusive, for 18G8, with those of January to June, inclusive, in 1869. In tho former period tho tux on whisky was two dollars a gallon, in tho latter only fifty cents ; aud yet, despite this enormous advan tage iu favor of the former period, its revenuo receipts on tho same objocts of taxation were less by $21,500,000 than those of the same period iu i860! For example, we guin on the six months of 1869, compared with tho last six months of 1868 : Oil spirits $16,286,000 On tobaoco 4,082,000 On fanueuted liquors. 16,000 On gross receipts 41,000 On sales 165,000 On Income 1,864.000 On banks 112,000 We Iobo on special taxes $205,000, on lega cies $177,000, aud on successions $111,000. Wo gain on passports $8,000, on tax upon gas $135,000, on stamps $850,000—nearly a mil lion of dollars ou tho single urticle of the stamps ou legal instruments; and wo lose on tho Hilaries of officors $242,000. This last losr Mr. Delano happily explains by saying " we den’t havo so many officers, now, draw ing salaries; nnd that is one of tho things Gen. Grant intends to do—while ho collocts the tax ho intends also to reduce tho expenses of tho Government." Here, theD, we havo a gain of twenty-one and a half millions toward paying tho national debt. If the two-dollar tnx had been collect ed, says Mr. Delano, as it should have been, on 75,000,000 gallons of whisky in 1868, that revenuo alone would have yielded $150,- 000,000—instead of which tho actual amount collected was less than $14,000,00'). Again, wo aro told that the internal revenue roceipts during July, August and September of 1808, (under Johnson,) was in round num bers less than $39,000,000. The receipts of July, August and the first half of tho current mouth of September, (under Grant,) have been $43,800,000. Aud Mr. Delano prophe cies that tho receipts of tho entiro three months of Jaly, August and September 1869, will bo $49,000,000, or ten millions in excess of the same three mouths of last year. Ten millions gain in a single quarter, un der the new Administration—these are figures of arithmetic which will outweigh with sensi ble people tho figures of rhetoric in which General Grant’s detractors aro expert It is not expected that an equal gain can be made in every quarter; but Commissioner Delano declares, "I do believe that at the end of the next fiscal year tho internal revenue will reach $175,000,000, and that without altering the present law, but simply by executing it.” He believes, also, that tho present Revenuo laws will horealtor yield every year $180,000,- 000. Ho asserts that "the revenue* of this Government may be increased over past re ceipts by tho present year $25,000,000 per annumhe declares his belief that the expen ses of the Government will be decreased by a similar amount; and ho concludes, therefore, that, as under tho previous Administration, we paid oft' $50,000,000 a year, now, uuder Generul Grant, "we can pay $100,000,000 of our national debt." This argument Mr. Delano turns forcibly against repudiation. With eight years ot similar gain, he says, "our national debt will not be more than $1,200,000,000.” If it be slightingly answered that this remnrkable speech was made in tho course of a political canvass, it must bo remembered that at least it was made by a man who is perfectly conver sant with the official figures Uo uses, nnd who knows that a few days nt furthest will dis close thoso figures to confirm his very wel come deductions.—A T .

Gh W. ADAIR’S OFFICE. I HAVE removed my office from the Railroad Block, on 1'each tree, to my old stand on Whitehall, ad joining Wm. Bleu k Oo. Q. W. ADAIB* "Nasby" speaks thus of the candidate of tho Pennsylvania Democracy for Governor: Our candidate hez pints about him. was a copperhead dooriu tho war, wich makes all uv that class ov Democrats enthoosiastic in his support; but on tother hand it drives off the war Democrats, without which we aint worth shucks. He hez money though, and ez lie’s bleedin freely he may keep the organiza- shnn alive till wo can fito with a man wich can elect. Tho erection of tho new dormitory building for Yale College is progressing rapidly. The rooms are to be more spacious, as well as more convenient, than those in tho old buildings.— One of the New Haven papers reports that the students had a lively tnuo "initiating ” on Wednesday night, but it expresses its regrets that some " went far beyond the bounds of propriety," inasmuch as they broke the sky light window of a bookstore and two or three street lamps. absent from the jock on Monday Mip- Tho other evening in our " private crib,” there was a learned dissertation, subject, "Bedbugs and their rem&rkablo tonacity of lifo." Ono asserted of his own knowledge that they could bo boilod and come to lifo. Komo hud soakod thorn for hours in turpen tine without any fatal consequences. Old Hanks, who hod been listening us an outsider, here gave in his experience in corroboration of tho facts. 8ays he: "Some years ago, I took a !>< dbug to uu iron foundry, and drop ping it into a ladle where the melted iron was, had it run into a skillet. Well, my old woman usod that skillet pretty constant for the last six y< srs, aud here the other day she broke it all to smash, and what do yon think, gontle- tuen, that cro iusect just walked out of his hole, where he’d been layin’ liko a frog in a rock, and made tracks for his old roost up stairs. But,” added ho, by way of parenthe sis, "by George, gentlemen, he looked mighty pale!” General Jordan is now practically tho commander-in-chief of the Cuban force* Wo, of course, do not beliovo the silly canard sot afloat by tbe Spanish authorities that he had offbred to surrender bis ontiro army to Cap tain General De Kodas.

The steamer IToriiot is off New Y posed to be there watching the gun I also to intercept the Enterpe, which was expect* od to sail with supplies for tho Spaniards.

The Hnrm-t has beeu fitted out by parties iu Now York and Boston, who havo no connection with the Cuban Junta, but have been operating hero. The Hornet is formidable aud very fast. New York, Ootober 1.—ThoJ steamer Euterpe, of the New York nnd Galveston line, is under surveillance, pending instruc tions from Washington. She had a cargo of huge Parrott guns, aud tons upon tons of solid shot and shell. The authorities suspect this cargo is intended to arm tho Spanish gunboats now readv for son. The account says: "There are just thirty of these gunboats, and, singu larly enough, there wero found in tho hold of tho Enterpe just thirty Parrotts of the hun dred pound species. There were also 3,000 solid shot and shell, which Imd beou oast for theso sanio Parrotts." Speaking editorially of tho Euterpe’s deten tion the Tribunesays: "The authoritiese havo just laid hands upon a vessel which by all ac counts appear to have been destined to supply with ammunition Spanish gunboats at Mystio. The possibility that great harm might havo been, and yet may be, thereby to the cause of struggling patriotism, naturally provokes a moat earnest desire that no want of vigilance shall permit a wrong to a neighbor whose comparative weakness, and whose noble a.vpl- rations have oar hearty sympathies.
