THE UNION & RECORDER. Cornti oj Hancock and ffilkinsor. Streets.) Wednesday Morning, September 4, 1872. FOR PRESIDENT : HORACE GREELEY, OF NEW YOKE. FOR VICE PRESIDENT: R. GRATZ BROWN, OF MISSOURI. For Governor: HON. JAMES 1. SMITH. FOR STATE SENATE (20TH DISTRICT:) Col. JOHN N. GILMORE, Of Washington County. FOR SECRETARY OF STATE, [Subject to a Democratic nomination,] N. C. BARNETT, Former Secretary of State. Campaign Paper.—We only charge FIFTY CENT.S for our paper during the CAMPAIGN. Every voter ought to have it. We have published the communica tion signed “Pine-Knot” by request; but we fear that many of our readers like ourselves will be bothered to tell what the writer is driving at. One point, however, is sufficiently clear the writer believes that a very large majority of the people of Georgia are anxious to have tiie Capital brought back to Milledgeville, and he wishes to impress upon the people if they want that important measure carried out by the next Legislature they must go to work now and see that the right sort of men are elected to the Legisla ture. On this point we agree with “Pine K;ot” We believe three- fourths of tlie people of Georgiaare desirous that the Capital shall be brought back to Milledgeville, where they can have better legislation at one-half of the expense now incurred at Atlanta. If this is their wish, the time to prepare for it is before the next election, and the way to secure it is to see that the right men are sent to the Legislature. to testify to their correctness and yet this Legislature have refused, and still dotli refuse to do us justice. The re presentatives of the great State of Georgia refuse to pay men a pittance tor labor performed. Whilst they have paid others for doing little or noth ing, they have compelled us to work for nothing and board ourselves. The “ Straits of Duncan.” Blanton Duncan’s little tea party that is soon to assemble in Louisville, Ky., presents a pitiable spectacle to the eyes of all men, North or South, who are really anxious to see the Gov ernment rescued from the bands of ty rants and thieves, and peace and fra ternity pervade the whole land.— Wiiilst such staunch, old fashioned “ Jeffersonian” Democrats as Gov. Wm. Bigler, and Senators Dayton and Salisbury, Groesbeck, and hundreds as prominent at the North, can support Greeley and Brown, and recommend Democrats everywhere to vote for them—Such Simon jmres as Alex. Stephens, Bob Toombs, Jim Seward, Jack Brown and others, (all old whigs) can’t see how any strait Democrat can vote that ticket. When and how such Democrats as Gov. Bigler got crooked, and such old Whigs as Stephens and Toombs got to be the only straight pillars in the Democrat ic church, is a question for Blanton Duncan’s tea party to answer. Old Democrat. Don’t Believe in Newspapers. “It seems that our legislators have some advanced ideas about newspa pers. A bill, prepared and endorsed by the Press Association, to regulate legal advertising, was defeated. They refused to re-enact the law’ exempting printing material from taxation—a law sanctioned by the wise men of the past in this State and in most of the States. They have neglected and refused to pay * Publishers for services rendered under official orders from the Execu tive department. They now propose to scale these bills, and reduce the price charged though the order under which they were published directed that the)’ “ occupy the same space as in the Atlanta papers,” and it was also requited that they be charged at the “ regular rates” of each paper. We appreciate the embarrassment of honest legislators in ferreting out the manifold abuses of the late admin istration. But in correcting abuses they are not justified in wronging in nocent parties. \\ bile these economical legislators are giggling over these bills of the press, we are pretty reliably informed that they have got a small army of clerks hid away behind the scenes in the third story of the Opera House enough to write up the work of two or three such bodies—whose unneces sary pay would go very far toward paying the just hills of the press.— Athens Banner. The above, from the Banner, we be lieve is true, hut it is not the whole nor the worst that could have been told on the same subject. As the regularly elected State Printer wt published the Law’s and Journals for the session of IS64 ’65, and did all the job printing. When we got the laws and journals ready for delivery Gen. Wilson had taken possession ol Macon, and our Governor had fled from the enemy. The Comptroller General remained at the State House and received our work, but he had no money that was worth anything with which to pay us, but he said the State would undoubtedly pay us for our la bor. The next session of the Legisla ture in Milledgeville we presented our account. It was referred to the finan cial committee of both houses, who unanimously reported in favor of pay- inh it, hut Dr. Ridley, of Troup, said they had put a stay law on other cred itors and he proposed that they make our claim subject to the stay law, which motion prevailed. No other honest Legislature has assembled in Georgia since, until the present, when we again applied for payment. But the Legislature, although they were very liberal with themseives and their favorites, did not pay us, al though they knew the State had had the benefit of our labor. The Law and Journals published by us are now in use all over the State. We, at great trouble and expense in war time procured the material and did all the public printing, for which we have never received a single dime. All of the old State House officers Jtnow these facts, and were willing For the Union and Recorder. BALDWIN C'OrUTT. Coll Fur a Uneven shun.

Such is the title of a little book which appeared last year irorn the “Globe Publishing Company” of At lanta, and which is justly attracting the attention of both scientists and practical men abroad. As might be expected, it is less appreciated at home than elsewhere—both author, and publishers, being Georgians. Were the author an Englishman, res ident in London, and were the book brought out in London, how eagerly would Georgians purchase it! It is a “success,” however, abroad; and it will inevitably be a greater success at home. The venerable and learned Dr. Stephensou, a resideut of Gainesville in this State, iu this ad mirable little volume, gives not only the geological facts, so far as they are known, relating to the State at large; but he devotes an extra chapter to that portion which he justly terms “ The Rich Diamond Districti,” The facts which Dr. Stephenson adduces leave no doubt of the existence of dia monds in this region. We shall, ere long, see a rush of adventurers thith er; and we hope di mionds plentiful as ever the mines of Golconda poured out, and magnificent as the famed Kooh-i noor that now sparkles on the Royal Crown of England, may be their reward. This interesting little book is ac companied by a fine map of Georgia, with all the latest Geographical changes of railroads and county lines, with the respective geological regions characterized. The map is worth the price of map and book both. The work can be had f ^r one dollar, sent to the publishers, or to Wm. A. Ramsay, Agent, P. 0. Box 522, Atlanta, Ga. If ON. A. II. CHAP PEL, I,. The Columbus St/n says Col. A. H Chappell, nominated as a “straight” delegate to Louisville, prefers Greeley to Grant, and has advised non-action by the “straights,” and has said he would have advised it if he had at tended the “Straight” Convention.

P. K. The Caterpillar in Mitchell, Dougherty, Lee, and Baker.—Al bany, Ga., August 28, 1S72.— Editors Telegraph Messenger: 1 herewith send you by mail a box of bolls des troyed by the caterpillar. The worm has webbed up, and you can see that stage of propagation. T^ie counties of Dougherty, Baker, Lee and Mitchell are literally stripped of every leaf, and the worms are now destroying half-grown bolls. A week ago my manager estimated my crop at 125 bales; yesterday he informed me that GO was now the limit, and I am better off than one in ten of my neighbors. Such destruction you can scarcely comprehend without person al observation ; but the counties above mentioned cannot make more than half a crop. I cannot say if the worms are general, as my observation and in formation is confined to the above counties, but iu these counties there is no exception. Dougherty. In Laurens, crops are reported good. Some caterpillars and a great com plaint of rust, to the Blanton Duncan Convention. Like Col. Chappell, the Hon. J. B. Walker, of Morgan, one of the oldest, most influential and intelligent Dem ocrats ip Middle Georgia, has publish ed a card repudiating the use of his name by the Atlanta “Straight Out” Convention. Capt. John B. Eve, of Floyd county,|has declined the appoint ment of delegate to the Duncan Con vention, and declares his preference for the Greeley and Crown ticket. Fred Douglas, the Grant Elec tor, Firing the Negro Heart.— Fred Douglas, being one of the Grant elec tors for New York, is stumping the State for the Grant ticket. In one o( his recent speeches, the burthen of which was to convince his race that they are equal if n >t superior to white men, that Grant is their patron saint, and all Democrats are their enemies, he stated that he had read in a book an account of a discussion which oc curred about a century ago on the ! subject of negro baptism, in which it was contended that negroes not being free agents, belonging to their masters, were not proper subjects for Christian baptism. Now, it Fred’s country had any written history he might read of discussions as to whether negro picca- ninies were best lor eating boiled or roasted. Fred Douglass should give the in stitution of slavery credit for all the civilization his race lias received. The negro owes not only his Christian en lightenment to slavery, but to that in stitution he is indebted for the pro tection which has saved his race from the fate of the American Indians. When the African savage found him self transplanted to this continent it was inhabited by millions of red sav ages. Protected by the institution of slavery a few thousand African sav ages have grown to more than four millions of semi-civilized people, while the red men, by no means an inferior race, have dwindled to a mere fraction of their original number. The negroes certainly owe more to southern slave ry than the Indians owe to Northern philanthropy. Fred Douglass ought to think of these tl ings, and cease teaching his people to hate the bene factors of their race. Come ! Rally to Greedy ! Dispel the dark night That veils the lair goj J.-ss of Freedom from sight! In the storm cloud of War, swept the denx-n ot blood : And beneath the red waves of the fratricide flood L«y the temples ot Justice and aitars of Right Submerged by the merciless force of rude Might, Till, the waves once subsided, the storm passed away, Full in view to our pained eyes, the mighty wrecks lay. The soldier of Fortune came forth at the call Of his country, the long wishe 1 for Peace to in Btal ; And “Let as have Peace - ’ was the motto he made, And sheathed for a moment the conqueror's blade. But a moment it rested—then flashed it’s fierce ray Over Ku-Klux pretences, till all the bright day Of Freedom, re-dawning, paied quickly from sight. And again we are groping in Tyranny's night. O, rise, freemen citizens ! Liberty calls To burs: the vile chain that your limbs now en tbrals !

Loud, and louder, the cry Shakes the tremulous earth, and now startles tbe sky ! Let the soirit of Washingt n wake from the shade Of Mt. Vernon where slumbering, his ashes were laid.

The Democratic Convention for the 20th Senatorial District assembled this day for the purpose of nomina ting a candidate for Senator. The Convention was organized by electing Hon. C. P. Crawford, of Baldwin, Pres ident, an^ S. B. Jones, of Washing ton, Secretary A list of the Delegates from each county was then presented as follows Baldwin—Hon. C. P. Crawford, Dr S. G. White, Col L.

B Jones. Judge Strange then moved that the selection of the nominee be given to Washington county. The motion was opposed by Col. Jordan in an able speech, and urging the right of Hancock to make tbe se lection After further discussion Col. Evans, in behalf of the Washington delega tion moved as a substitute, that we hands. Several passengers and a lady ! s h°uId agree with Hancock to yield with three children, names unknown,' t * ,e se ^ e ction to Baldwin. That there should be no disseution among us. Col.

I did not interview Lochrane for the simple reason that his position is too well known. He is for Greeley as wsll ss for Grant, although sometimes before breakfast lie is a straight-out—that is in tbe matter of cocktails. He is an original Smith man an I will also vote fo* Dawson Walker—otherwise, he is unequivocally for Lochrane. Harrisburg, August 28.—The Con vention of Democratic soldiers and sailors opposed to the Pittsburg Con vention met to-day, and was cmled to order by Gen. Mulholland, who stated the object of the meeting- Gen. Wm. McCandless was selected President, and made an address, which was re ceived with applause. He stated that the convention was preliminary to a call for a convention to be held in to the Pittsburg Convention, and sug gested an organization throughout the Philadelphia,to enter a protest opposed State by counties, and the selection ot an Executive Committee. No Beaux.—Saratoga is in despair. Miss Grundy writes: “ I have men tioned more than once before the scar city of beaux here. One evening I dropped in at Pitney’s, one of th-) very fashionable boarding-houses here. There are twenty young and hand some girls there, some of whom are beauties, and not. a single young man in the house. There was one there, but he’s gone now. How is the pres ent generation of girls to be married off?” That’s a grave question—and the difficulty increases when it is consider ed that each of these beauties had the value of a month’s salary on her head and a year’s salary in her wardrobe. North Carolina.—A correspon dent of the New York Tribune writes that paper from Raleigh that up to the 21st instant only twenty-five counties had been officially returned, and if the election is contested rich develop ments may be looked for. The West Virginia Election.— The latest returns from West Virginia iudicate the election of Jacobs, the present incumbent, who ran as an in dependent Democrat, over Camden, the regular nominee. The new Cofi- stitution, upon which the people also voted, is still in doubt. As generally conceded hitherto, the result of this election can have no bearing upon the Presidential election, the issues being generally of a local character. The Republicans having no ticket of their own, voted for the independant ticket, which it is stated, represented also the mass of the Liberal party. A Boy Picks Up a $3,000,000 Dia mond.—Dr. II. P Swein and family, from Santa Cruz, Cal., were in the city yesterday, and left for the East on the Vandalia road. The doctor had in his possession a large diamond, supposed to be of the first water, which he claims to be worth over $3,000,000.— It was found by his boy at the mouth of l gulch, in tjanta Cruz county, over six years ago. The specimen is an ir regularly rounded pebble, about the size of a large horse chestnut, covered with a thin, brownish, opaque crust, and the weight is 3£ ounces. Two or three facets made by grinding off the outside coat exhibit a brilliant trans parency which to the unprofessional eye looked like rock crystal. It has beea examined in San Francisco, wheie an offer of $10,000 was made to the owi er. Mr. L. B. Hopkins compared it with the other diamonds, and pro nounced it the regular simon pure stuff- The Doctor goes to Boston to have it tested by the most skillful lap idaries of that city. Explorations have since been made in the canon where the specimen was discovered, but the search has not been rewarded with success.—St. Louis Republican 22d. Enough for Me.—“What do you do without a mother to tell all your troubles to?” asked a child who had a mother of one who had none. Her mother was dea I. “Mother told me who to go to before she died,” answered the orphan. “I go to the Lord Jesus Christ. He was my mother’s friend, and He is mine.” “Jesus Christ is up in the sky; he is away oft, and has a great many things to attend to in heaven. It is uot likely He can stop to mind you.” I do not know anything about that,” said the orphan; “all I know is that He says He will, and that’s enough for me.” Valuable Hints A regular habit of body is absolutely essential to physical health and clearness of intellect. Noi is this all. Beauty ofperson cannot co-exist with an unnatural condition of the bowels. A free passage of the refuse matter of the system through these natural waste pipes, is as necessary to the purity of the body as the free passag-a of the offal of a city through its sewer* is necessary to the health of its inhabitants" Indigestion is the primary cause of most of the diseases of the discharging organs, and one of it most common results is constipation. This com plaint, besides being dangerous in itself, has many disagreeable comcomitants—such as an unpleas ant breath, a sallow skin, contaminating blood and bile, hemorrhoids, headache, loss of memory and general debility. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters remove all these evils bv removing their immediate cause in thed gestive organs, and regulating the action of the in testines. The combination of properties in tbi. celebrated preparation is one of it* chief merits.— It is not merely a stimulant or a tonic, or an anti bilious agent, ora nervine, or a blood depurent, or a cathartic, but all these curative elements jud ciously blended in one powerful restorative. It lends activity and vigor to the inert and enervated stomach, relieves the ailmeutary canal of its ob structions, and gives tone to the membrane which liueg it, gently stimulates the liver, braces the nerves, and cheers the animal spirits - No other remedy possesses such a vaiiety of hygienic virtues. It is to these characteristic virtues that it owes its prestige as a household medicine. Ex perience has proved that it is as harmless as it is efficacious, and hence it is as popular with the weaker sex as with the stronger. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters are sold in bottles only, and the trade-mark blown in the glass and engraved on tbe label is the test of genuineness Beware ol counterfeits. Wasinhgton. Col. Briscoe then moved that Wash ington county be awarded the right to the selection of a candidate under the agreed rule heretofore established, of alternating between the counties com prising the District. Carried unani mously. A letter, addressed to the President of the Convention, from C. R. Pringle, of Washington, declining to be a candidate for nomination, was then read. C. C. Brown then handed in a letter from Col. T. J. Smith asking that his name be withdrawn from the Convention. Col. Smith was very favorably spoken of, but declined from personal consideration, promising his support to the nominee. The Convention then by acclama tion, nominated Col. J. N. Gilmore, of Washington.—Col. Gilmore respon ded in a short but telling speech, ac cepting the nomination. it was then moved that each news paper in the District be requested to publish these proceedings. Adjourned sine die. C.

The English Language—.A lady correspondent thus writes'from Lon don : “I have been obliged to partly re-learn the English language. Words here do not always convey the same meaning as in America. There are no railroads, but railways ;’ no depots, but ‘stations ;’ no firemen, but ‘stro kes ;’ no cars, but ‘carriages.’ There seem to be no buggies in England.— There are no stores, but ‘shops’ Nei ther an inn or a public house is oblig ed to entertain travelers with other accommodations than beer or spirits. To be fed or lodged one must go to a tavern or hotel. When you ask for beer they give you porter. Lager is unkiown.

When the food, has been masticated, and con verted into a semi-liquid paste, it is passed into the stomach, which is simply an enlargement midway, of the alimentary canal. It is the thea' tie of the second and most important stage ot the digestive process. The food is here exposed to the action of the gastric jusce. This is secreted by the mucous membrane or internal lining of the stomach, which is full of minute pores communi atiug with microscopic tubes or bags closely ret iculated with nerves and capillary blood-vessels The func tion of this apparatus is the pro uction of cells, which are discharged in innumerable myr- iands into the cavity of the stomach Arrived here they buist and pour forth their liquid burden This is the gastric juice, wLich physically is a Jim pid and colorless fluid. Chemically, it is power fully solvent, and of acid reaction. Its acidity is mainly owing to the presence of mnriatic or chlo rohydric acid. Hence the utility of salt, this min oral fumishiug the chlorine of which chlorohydric acid is mainly constituted" There is also presant in the stomach an azotised substance named pep sin. In the opinion of Liebig this is formed ot minute separated portions of the internal coat of the stomach, in tbe conrse of decomposition. 1 combines with the oxygen which has been swal lowed entangled in the saliva, and so starts the di - gestive fermentation. Without an abundant se cretion of gastric juice tbe powers of digestion must be inefficient. Now Dr. Gottlieb Fisch's Bitters stimulate the flow of the gastric juice, and thus strengthen the digestive powers, and through them the bodily forces generally. Baldwin Sheriff" Sale.
