The Bay and the Hour has Come!
The tidie lor writing and talking
about our State election has passed
and the time for voting has come.—
Having exhausted tie argument, let
us rally to the ballot-box. We hope
the people of Geoigia already real
ize the importance ot this election.—
We are to decide in this election
whether we will be governed by men
of our choice, or whether another
hungry swarm of carpet-baggers are
to be imported to eat up our sub
stance. To vote for Walker is voting
for Bullock and Blodgett and Kimball.
To vote the Radical ticket is to vote t»>
double your taxes to pay for Bullock’s
fraudulent bonds. Men of Georgia
ralG i0 ti e polls and vote the Demo
cratic ticket! Vote early and see that
your neighbors and friends vote also
Give this day to your country a> d
spend it in electiig honest men and
defeating the rogues and Bullock’s
men Clews & Company.
Ex-Gov. Brown's Letter.
We publish in another place a let
ter from Ex-Gov. Brown to a Mr. Hail
defining his position. He declares
himself not only for Greeley, but ad
vises his friends to support .Smith and
the Democratic State ticket, because
if Dawson Walker is elected it will
be proclaimed as a Grant victory;
whereas if Smith is elected it will be
failed as a Greeley victory, and will
be cab ulated to strengthen the Liber
al cause in other States. We are very
much ph ased to see that the Govern
or has taken this position. It will
have a good effect not only in Georgia
but in other States. This letter is
timely and patriotic. The Governor
takes occasion in this letter to remind
us ot the warnings he gave us ot the
evils which would he inflicted upon
the State if we resisted the Constitu
tional Amendments. We admit his
warnings, but we contend the same
or worse evils would have been heap
ed upon us it we had made no resis
tance to the Constitutional Amend
ments. It was the policy of the ad
ministration and its friends to plunder
and oppress us and no submission on
our part woul I have prevented it.
The Grant Republicans, in
Convention at Macon, after two days
squabbling and much useless har
angues, finally nominated Lemuel B.
Anderson, Esq., of Newton county, as
candidate for Congress in the 6th Dis
trict.
fcJ^The Governor has issued a pro
clamation appointing Tuesday, the
29th Oct. for an election to be held in
the late Fourth Congressional Dis
trict, for a representative in Congress,
to lill the unexpired term of Hon.
Thos. J. Speer, deceased.
This district is composed of the
counties of Upson, Pike, Spalding,
Henry, Newton, Butts, Monroe, Bibo,
Twiggs, Wilkinson, Baldwin, Jones,
Jasper and Putnam.
Judge Jas. S. Greene is nominated
by the Radicals.
A convention will be held in the
city ot Macon on Tuesday, 8th Get
to nominate a democratic candidate.
Fur the Union Sc Recorder,
Milledgeville, Ga., Sept. 26,1872.
Mr. Bouohton :
A recent number of “Tlie Union & Recorder” con
tained a commendatory criticism of Dr. M. F. Ste
ptienson’s “Geology and Mineralogy of Georgia.” On
pages 170 and 171 ot that work 1 find tlie statement
that the “University of Oglethorpe” “has been
moved from near Mill, dgeville to Atlanta,” and at its
former locality, “owing to tlie vnneat'.hiness of the
location, it continued to lun.uish until the directors
were forced to remove it to a more healthy locality,
or abandon it.”
Now it is indisputab'y true that, 1. That the insti.
union in question has “continued to languish” quite as
much since its removal to Atlanta as .luring its location
in this vicinity; 2. That its removal to Atlanta was
the result of causes wholly independent of healthiness
or unhealihiness of climate; and 3. That this “locali
ty’ is fully as healthy as that of Atlanta or any other
port on of the State Sanitary statistics will sustain
common observation in establishing the last proposition
Doubtless the “capi al question” obtruded itseif
into this assumed “scientific” book of Dr Stephenson
Atlanta is extremely nervous at tuat fearful spectre ;
and the “learned’'author was to be au applicant to the
Atlantese authorities for the purcha-e, by the State,
for “public use” of a large number of copies of his so-
oalled “Geology and Mineralogy.” Wherefore, the
elimnte ot Milledgeville became necessarily unhealthy !

Georgia News.
For the Union & Recorder,
LETTKK FKO.TI Atei «IT.I.
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 1, 1S72.
Arriving here on the Georgia R. R.,
the picturesque chain of heights on
the Carolina side ol Savannah tiverat-
tract the eyes as the train moves
slowly to the Passenger Depot. These
heights played a part in the Revolu
tionary war, changing hands more
than once in the years 1779 and 1780
when the torrent of British invasion
rolled heavily over tlie South. Here,
too caiue the great and good Wash
ington on his famous “Southern Tour”
in the Spring of 1791—on which tour
he traveled with one set ol horses in
his carriage JSS7 miles without de
tention or bother from accident or ill
ness. “Indeed,” wrote he at the con
elusion of his tour, “so highly were
we favored that we arrived at each
place where I proposed to make any
halt, on the very day I fixed upon be
fore we set out. The same horses
performed the whole tour; ana al
though much reduced in flesh, kept
up their full spirits to the last day.”
This city is the more closely associa
ted with Washington in our mind, be
cause the only person we ever met
who had seen and conversed with that
great man, met him here. AVe allude
to the venerable and excellent Mrs.
Fitzgerald who died in 1867 in Scotts
boro’, Baldwin county, aged more
than ninety years.
One other Washingtonian reminis
cence of this city, and we have done
with that subject. Here during his
Southern tour, on the 20th of May,
1791, President Washington wrote a
very important letter on the subject ol
our national relations with t e Span
ish Province of Florida. The letter
was addressed to Maj. James Seagrove
of St Mary’s then collector of Cus
toms at that port, whose descendants
are yet honored among the best citi
zens of Camden county. Maj. Sea-
grove was eutrusted by this letter with
a most important and delicate negotia
tion with the Spanish Governor. Senor
Quesada, on tlie subject of emigration
Irom tlie U. S. to Florida, and also in
regard to the escape thither of fugitive
slaves. Those curious in such mat
ters may find the letter in Sparks'
Lite and V\ iitings of Washington, Vol.
10, page 162.
But once in this city, its street rail
ways, and stirring modernized methods
—the thunder ot arm ing and depart
ing trains at its several railway sta
tions—divest us ol these antiquarian
ideas. Augusta is already the centre
ol five great railways—leading, res
pectively, to Charleston and to Colum
bia, S. C., and to Savannah, Macon and
Atlanta, in this State. In a very tew
weeks another to Port Royal S. C.,
will be finished; and ere long, we hope
to see the sixth, leading directly
Southward to Florida, in active pro
gress until it shall have been comple
ted. 1 he last, styled “The Great
Southern Railway,” has an excellent
charter.
We find the cotton market here
opening finely. Already much activi
ty prevails. The absorbing topics of
conversation, however, are the pend
ing political contests. Gen. A. R.
Wright is actively canvassing for a
seat in Congress; and if the justice ot
liis cause, high genius as au orator,
mid worth as a gentleman may win the
race, he will succeed.
We have met here very pleasantly
Mr. Joseph I, Palmer, connected with
• he large merer,„ile house of B,gnon l,
Crump, 286 Broad Street, and WtlO has I lortuuate class, ami none ar>- now refused admittance
i . * . i i tor want of room. Thee*.' addition* wi I enable them to
opened at that [dace a very popular
nnd excellent hoarding house; and Mr.
OsMe F. Ringlamt of the Dry Goods
Store of Gray A Co., 196 Broad Street,
both ot these gentlemen being repre
sentatives oi Baldwin county, in the
business interests of this city. We
have also had a pleasant interview with
Mr. Sibley ol J. Sibley & Sons, Cotton
Commission Merchants whose business
card we transmit herewith lor insertion
in the Union i)' Recorder. On Friday
evening last we experienced a very
pleasant drive with Mr. Tli^odore L.
Henry to the great bridge over the
Savannah river, three miles below this
city, lor the Port Royal Ii. R., now
rapidly approaching completion, Mr.
Henry being one of the Contractors
lor building this bridge. And although
named last, yet by no means the least
in our estimation, we have enjoyed the
courtesies of the office ol the Chroni
cle & Sentinel newspaper, and some
interesting conversations with Mr.
Moore, one ol its Editors.

their souls in patience. They will never meet a ma
jority of their old customers except as private citi

The Georgia Lusatic Astlum.—From a recent
visit to tins institution we were pleased to see it in
such a prosperous condition, uuder 'he able manage
ment ol Dr. Green, who, if be is not the founder of it.
lias done more than all else besides to bring it up to

tlie institution for twenty seven years, and has during
that lime labored unceasingly for its welfare. He is
a high-toned Christian gentleman, ami his whole sludy
seems to be the welfare of his uufortuate patients, aud
al of his assistants appear to be imbued with the same
pirit. Under tlie Doctor’s management, the law of
kii dness is the law of the institution, aud we under
stand that it works admirably-
w e wvre struck with theextieme neatness of every
apartment, ami were surprised that such cleanliness
coaid be attainable in such an institution until we were

d has recently been added to. and the entire build
iiig besides being well ventilated by large airy win
dows, has a constant stream ot fresh sir forced into
very apaitment by means of a large fan iu the yard,
worked by steam. The waiter arrangement is also ad
mirable as every story could be instantly flooded in
case ot fire, besides beiug used iu every conceivable
way tor the cleanliness ot the patijnts. In ract.ev^ry
precaution that could be taken seems to have been
done tortile health and comfort of the inmates.

Elder of the Americus District, South

far to aid in the fitiil victory for Gree

Drouth in Kentucky.—The Spring-
field Kentuckian says, no rain has fall
en in that locality for many weeks,
and the drouth is approaching an in
tensity unknown here since the fall of
1S62. All vegetation is dying out,
and drinking and stock water is la
mentably scarce.
The Liberal Victory.—In Sep
tember, 1S6S, the Grant, party carried
Maine by 20,40-5 majority. They did
this in the face of President Johnson,
who threw the immense influence
and patronage of the Administration
against them. This year Grant threw
the power of tlie Administration,
worth at least 5,000 votes, in favor of
the Radicals. Government money
flowed iike water, and the most un
scrupulous means were used to insure
a triumph. Yet the Grantites have
carried the State by 15,000 majority
only, losing 5,000 since 1S6S, when
everything was against him. In view
of this fact, Mobilier Blaine’s inflated
dispatch to the President appears to
be exquisite Sarcasm.
Look at the vote of Portland ! Here

MANUFACTURER AND VENDER OF THE

SMITH’S TONIC SYRUP
, FOR THE ( I KK OF
AGUE AND FEVER,
OR CHILLS AND FEVER.
The proprietor of this celebrated medicine juetly
claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer
ed to the public for the Mafr, certain, speedy and per
manent cure of Ague aud Fever, or Chilis and Fever,
whether ot short or loug standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear him tes
timony to the truth of the assertion, that in no case
whatever will it fail to cure if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out. In a great many
jases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and
whole families have been cured by a single bottle,
with a peitect restoration of the general health. It is,
however, prudent, and iu every case more certain to
cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week
or two after the disease has been checked, more es
pecially in difficult and loug-standirg cases. Usually
this medicine will rot require any aid to keep the bow-
els in good order. Should the patient, however, re
quire a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or
four doses of the tonic, a single dose of Bull't Vege
table Family Pills will be sufficient.

Read the following extract of a letter from Mrs.
Rivers, wile of Reverend Dr. Rivers, one of the most
learned, eloquent and popular Ministers of the Method
ist Episcopal Church, and who is at present stationed
at Broadway Church, Louisville, Ky.
Louisville, Kr., Oct. 8, 1869.
Dr. John Butt—Dear Sir-. Many thanks to yon
for the medicine you have so kindly given me. 1 have
been a great sufferer lor years, an t had the advice «£
various physicians. Some ptonounced my spine, sum®
my lungs, and some my heart to be tlie seat of my dis
ease. I have been burnt, blistered and cupped until
I had become dishearteued. Several very eminent
physicians who examined my spine informed me that
1 was threatened with paralysis or appoplexy any day
and that nothing but a setnu would relieve me. I had
a perfect horror ot that, aud was hesitating about
having one inserted, wheu you kindly sen! tne your
Sarsaparilla which I immediately begun to take three
times a day. I had suffered terribly with a most
acute pain in the righi side of my bead, especially
when 1 would read or write for any length of time, aud
ou rtaiog to my leel I would be perlectly blind for
several minutes, and would have to bold to something
to prevent falling.
I am most happy to inform you that the pain in my
head is entirely relieved ; I suffer but seldom with my
spine and then not so acutely- My appetite is gooa ;
indeed for the first time in tny lite 1 enjoy my diuner
more than any meal during the day.
You kindly sent me four bottles again last night,
and I began again this morning, and I hope to be en
tirely relieved. Please accept my heartfelt thanks and
best wishes.
Very truly your most grateful friend,
M. B. C. Rivers.
My journal abounds with similar letters, all of
winch I guarantee to be genuine and written by the
persons whose names they baar.
Do not suffer y> urseif to be imposed on. Don't be
drawn away after new and doubtful experiments.
Don't risk your health by letting novices experiment
upon you with their trash. Vly Sarsaparilla lias stood
the test for t» enty five years . it is still the Sarsaparilla
of the day, and of the age, towering over all otherBiu
popularity and its cuiative qualities. Avoid all those
who are trying to palm off on you other extracts of
Sarsaparilla, so-called. Remember it is Dr. John
Bull’s Sarsaparilla, of Louisville, Ky , that is the old
and reliable remedy tor impurities of the blood aud
scrofulous affections. Always bear that in mind.

Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing the efficacy
of your Sarsaparilla, aud the healing and beneficial
qualities it possesses, I send you the following state
ment ot my case:
I was wounde 1 about two years ago, was taken
prisoner and confined for sixteen months. Being
moved so often, my wounds have not healed vet. I
have not set up a moment since I was wounded. I
am shot through the hips. My geueral health is im
paired, aud 1 ueed something to ass.st nature, I have
more faith in your Sarsaparilla than anything else. I
wish that which is genuine. Please express me half a
dozen bottles, and oblige.
Capt. C. P. JOHNSON,

P. S.—The following was written April 30th. 1866,
by Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capt. Johnson :
Dr John Butt—Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. C. S.
Johnson, was a skillful surgeon and physician in Cen
tral New York, where he died, leaving the above C.
P. Johnson to my care. At thirteen years of age he
had a chronic diarrhea and scrofula, tor which I gave
your Sarsaparilla. It cured him. I have for ten
years recommended it to many in New York, Ohio
and Iowa, for scrofula, fever sot es, aud general debili
ty. Perfect success has attended it- The cures ef
fected in some rases of scrofula and feier sores tcere
almost mirarulons. I am very auxious for my son
to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla. He is
fearful of getting a spurious article, heuce his writing
to you for it. His wounds were terrible, but I belter®,
lie will recover.
