Election Returns.
The official report of ninety-nine
counties, received in Atlanta up to
Saturday night, shows a majority for
Smith of 40,013, and 129 Democrats
and G Radicals elected as Representa
tives.
The Victory and the Lesson which
It Teaches.
The people of Baldwin county last
Wednesday won a glorious victoiy.
Party spirit and prejudice were sac
rificed upon the altar of patriotism.
Nearly or quite every man in the r oun-
tv believes that the Capital of the
State should be restored to Milledge-
ville. The people know it was moved
to Atlanta by fraud and corruption,
and that evil and only evil has followed
upon the heels of that measure. They
have seen that the cost of legislation
lias been more titan double since it lias
been carried on in Atlanta, and they
believe that the best interests of the
State demand that the Capital should
be restored to its ancient seat, where
honest legislation shall once more be
come the fashion. Our colored voters,
although a large majority of them dif
fered from the whites on politics, all
agreed with them on the capital ques
tion, and they helped us to elect men
whom we all believed would be true
and efficient on that question. Many
of them had seen that George Wallace
had done no good in the Legislature,
and they had become tired of send
ing a man to the Legislature who
worked for nobody but himself, and
determined to vote for a man that
could do the county and the State
some service. Under these circum
stances we feel disposed to honor and
praise our colored voters for their con
duct in this election. For although
we believe every white vote in the
county was given to the Democracy,
yet it is well known that the colored
vote so far outnumbers the white that
we could not have elected our ticket
without assistance from many colored
voters. Wejiope the white citizens
of Baldwin will remember this, and
will show their gratitude by acts of
kindness towards those colored men
who have helped us. We hope and
believe that the power and influence ol
George Wallace over the colored peo
ple of Baldwin has passed away for-

John Cunningham and George W.
Wylley.
The meeting then decided that the
commissioners should be requested to
open books ofsubscription on the 15th
day of October next.
On motion of Dr. J. B. Carlton, it
was ordered that when any person ap
pointed as commissioner refuses to
serve, then the Chairman ol this meet
ing be authorized to fill the vacancy.
On motion of Dr. J. B. Carlton, it
was ordered that the present Secretary
of this meeting be continued as perma
nent Secretary, and be requested to in
form the various commissioners of their
appointment, and cause these proceed
ings to be published in the Athens,
Ma’ison, Milledgeville, Eatonton and
Savannah papers.
On motion Dr. James A. Price,
whose name from some unaccounta
ble cause, does not appear among the
corporators in this enterprise, be cor
dially invited to attend all the meet
ings of the corporators and lend his
advice and assistance, just as if he had
been one of their number.
Ou motion the meeting then adjourn

Views Upon the Campaign and its Pros
pects.
The Presidential and Congressional
Election.
We have routed the Radicals in
Georgia on the State ticket, now let
us turn our attention to the Congres
sional and Presidential election. The
Georgia election is the first decisive
battle of the campaign. Maine and
Vermont were always conceded to
Grant, but North Carolina and Geor
gia have been claimed by both par
ties. North Carolina is still in doubt,
with a strong probability that she will
vote for Greeley. Georgia can no
longer be considered doubtful. In all
probability she will give a larger ma
jority in November lor Greeley than
she has now for Smith. Revolutions
do not go backward. The United
States is now in the midst of a great
political revolution which bids fair to
sweep the country of the last vestige
of Grantism. And it is full time for
the change to come. Civil liberty or
Grantism must go down, they cannot
botli exist in the United States. We
believe a very 7 large majority of the
people have decided in favor of liberty,
honesty and a free government.
The elections which are to come ofi
to-day in Pennsylvania, Ohio and In
diana will prove whether our conjee
tures are true or not. We believe all
three of these great States will go
democratic. If this proves true, or if
any two of them should go democratic
in October the (ate of Grantism would
be sealed. But there is oue other
duty for us tQ do in Georgia : let us
take advantage of the flood tide now
in our favor and elect nine democratic
members to Congress. We can do it
if we try. We have been misrepre
sented long enough ; let us elect men
to Congress that will represent Geor
gia.
It was all a Jobe.
Dawson IValker was not a Candidate.
It is said that Walker now denies hav
ing ever been a candidate for Guber
natorial honors. A few of the darkies
voted for him just lor fun.
Hon. A. G. CURTIS, whose utterances touch
ing' the present campaign in Pennsylvania have
been so long and so anxiously expected by all
parties, has at last declared bis position in no un
certain tones, as will be seen by his below pub
lished letter to the Hon. A K. McCLURE, Chair
man of the Liberal Rfpublican State Committee
of Pennsylvania, in answer to one notifying him
of his nomination by the Conimttee as a candidate
for Delegate at Large to tha Consti utional Con
vention. As will be seen, the letter is entirely
taken up with the interests of the State and the
torthcomeing State election, the Presidential con
test being only incidentally referred to. It is
announced that Mr. Curtin will speak in Belfont,
Pa, next week, when he will declare himself un
qualifiedly in favot of GREELEY :
Sar.vi oga, September 21.
My Dear Sih :—Your favor of the 11 rh instant
informing me of my nomination by the Liberal
Republican State Committee as candidate for del
egate at large to the Constitutional Convention,
and enclosing an address to the people of the
State recommending my election, came duly to
hand, but extreme illness prevented my reading
the letter or considering the subject until now
I am still quite feeble and unable to write with
out the aid of an amanuensis but the near ap
proach of the election aud the gravity of the is-,
sues immediately effecting the honor and prosper
ity ot Pennsylvania, to be decided in October,
compel me to answer when my rest should be uu
broken.
A nomination made by so many of the purest
and best old representative Republicans of the
State, aud presented to the people upon grounds
which stand out in brave contrast with the demur
alized political management now so badly preva
lent, is au appeal I cannot refuse to respect. I
therefore accept the nomination, and if it shall be
ratified by the people, anu my health permits. I
will discharge its duties with fidelity. I had con
tidently expected, immediately upon my return
home, to familiarize myself fully with the details
ofwhatlwell understood in all g nera! aspects
touching the misrule in our Commonwealth under
its present political control, an to speak my con-
victie!-*at the earliest possible moment While I
cannot ever be indifferent iu a Presidential contest
1 telr that the regeneration of my native State, in
the October eltetien, was of paramount interest to
the people in whose happiness aud greatness I am
enlisted by every consideration ot gratitude and
patriotism
l'lie bad rule that has wholly compassed the
channels of political administrate authority iu
Pennsylvania, is not of recent creation. It was
the tireless but impotent power that conferred the
action of the Government, Slate and nation during
the dark days of civil war, ami steadily struggled
to gather advance" eut, and gain from the bitter
sorrows of the people.
Six years ago it attained control in our Slate.—
How it was achieved is remembered with humilia
tion by all. Why it was sought and wou our sub
sequent history painfully demonstrates.
The Republican organization has made its name
illustrious in maintaining the unity of the States,
and redeeming a Continent to freedom. It was
seized in contempt of the will of the people, and
its victories perverted to licensed wrong 1 need
not recite how, under an honored name and fLg,
it has created wide-spread—indeed, almost univei..
sal—distrust of authority, and made honest men
despair of integrit y in legislation, in elections, in
conferring legislative honors, and even in the ad
ministration of public justice.
These terrible and steadily growing evils in our
political rule, have made the people demand the
right to resume tln-ir sovereignty : to- make new
safeguards for themselves ; but if the proposed
Convention is to effect reform, it must b- aided,
not hindered by the vast power of the Executive
and o her important State officials.
If Mr. Buckalew shall he defeated, and a new
lease of auth rity thus conferred upon the despot
ic control that has long misruled the Common
wealth, it w ill be marvellous iud-ed if the Con
vention chosen in the paitisan stiife of a national
c ntest can afford uny substantial relief or protec
tion to the people. If Pennsylvania is to be re
stored to purity, th“ Government in all its depart
ments as well as the Convention, must harmonize
fully and earnestly in the work of regeneration.—
Mr. Buc-kalew's confessed integ.ity, and consis*
tent devotion to reform during many years of offi
cial service, give the best possible guarantees of
honest administration and complete restraints up
on corrupt or reckless authority, and his election
seems to be demanded by every consideration to
individual manhood and fidelity to the honor an i
advancement of the State. If, as is claimed by
desperate leaders in Pennsylvania, to regenerate
our State in October will affect lire national con
test, a cause t' us to be endangered must be want
ing in ti e most essential attributes ot popular con
fidence. Actuated solely by a sense of duty to a
people whose devotion in time past furnishes the
most grateful memories of my life, I shall vote in
October tor hsnest government in our Common .
wealth, and meet the Presidential issue when it
comes before the people, in accordance with my
long settled convictions.
I cannot afford to sacrifice a great contest for
constitutional, legislative and administrative re
form because a Presidential election is pending
To yield the qneslion would give fresh victories
for misrule, and make the effort for just fuudamen

At 7 o clock the streets began to fill. The rallying

C'onflngrnlion.
One of the strangest phenomena of the times is re
ported to us from the site ot old Fort Pillow, sixty
miles above this city. It is no more nor less tlian the
bluff bank of the river which rises fifty or sixty feet
above the water level, is on fire, and for the last sev
eral weeks has been steadily burning like a volcano
for a distance of several hundred yards along the east
side of the river. At night a lurid flame or blaze of
fire rises from the side of the bluff at a height of two
or three feet, which then spreads in’o smoke and pass
es on over the summit of the hill, distributing itself
with tlie atmosphere and floating away skyward.
The steamer Celeste, on her last trip, passed by the
place in broad daylight and at a time when a light
wind blew trom the shore, carrying the smoke towards
the Arkansas shore, and covering the river with a
thick liHze almost like log. What strange combusti
ble formation compose* ’ he river bluff of the old Fort,
or what first set it on fire, to burn after (he fashion des
cribed, is one of the most marvelous even s of the
times, and puzzles the people of the vicinity no little.

Mr. Christt : In helping last Monday to put a hot
tire on a wagon wheel, I met with the misfortune to
burn iny lelt hand quite badiy. The palm of my hand
was not only crisp, but cauterized and blistered. The
pain was excruciating. Salt was suggested, and I im
mediately applied a handful ot fine table salt, tied a
cloth around it and held it in a pan of cold water, say
25 to 30 tninu’es, by wliicli time mv hand was nearly
free of pain. I then applied some five or six drops of
what physicians call “No. 6.” In four or five hours my
hand was as well as before the burn, and I have suf*
fered no pain since. I make this statement that others
similarly afflicted may go and do likewise. Yours,

The Culture of the Hair.—Just as surely as a
soil infested with Canadian thistles can be made
to produce fine crcps of golden grain, the scalp
now sparsely covered with harsh diy. unminage"
able hair can be made prolific of silken tresses —
All that is necessary to effect the change in either
case is the right kind of ferti izer. Leaving the
agricultural chemists to determine how the barren
land shah be made fruitful, we positively assert
that Lyon’s Kathairon is unequaled as a fertilizer
and br-autifier of the hair. Twenty-five years of
success is the basis of this unqualifi-d statement.
During that time it has been used by many mil
lions of both sexes, and the first instance in which
it has failed to fulfill the expectations of a rational
purchaser has yet to be discovered. It will not
cause hair to grow on a varnished gourd ; but
wherever the roots of the hirsute fibers remain
undisturbed it will cause them to put forth new
shoots, aud in all cases where the hair has become
thin it will increase its volume.
CP" As a remedy for Bronchial Affections and
Chronic diseases of the Luugs, nothing ever be
fore discovered equals Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medi

GREAT REMEDIES.
Dr. JJUV BELL,
MANUFACTURER AND VENDER OF THE
CELEBRATED
SMITH’S TONIC SYRUP
FOB THE CURE OF
AGUE AND FEVER,
OR CHILLS ANI> FEVER.
The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly
claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer
ed to tlie public for the safe, certain, speedy and pe
manent cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever,
whether of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern eouutry to bear him tes
timony to the truth of the asseitiou, that in no ca.-e
whatever will it fail to cuie if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out. In a great many
cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, at-.d
whole families have been cured by a single bottle,
with a peitect restoration of the general health. It is,
however, prudent, and in every ease more certain to
cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week
or two after the disease has been cheeked, more es
pecially iu difficult and long standing eases. 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 takcu three or
tour doses of the tonic, a single dose of Bull's Vege
table Family Pills will be sufficient.

Read the following extract of a letter from Mrs.
Rivers, wile of Reverend Dr. Rivers, oue of the must
learned, eloquent and popular Ministers of the Method
ist Episcopal Church, and who is at present stationed
at Broadway Church, Louisville, Ky.
Louisville, Kr., Oet. 8,1869.
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: M any thanks to you
for the medicine you have so kindly given me. I have
been a great sufferer for years, au t had the advice of
various physicians. Some piououuced my spine, eotne
my lungs, and some my henrt to be the seat of my dis
ease. I have been burnt, blistered and cupped until
I had become disheartened. Several very eminent
physicians who examined my spine informed me that
I was threatened with paralysis or appoplexy auy day
aud that nothing but a seton would relieve me, i bad
a perfect horror ot that, and was hesitating about
having one inserted, when you kindly seut me your
Sarsaparilla which I immediately beguu to take three
times a day. I had suffered terribly with a most
acute pain in the right side of my head, especially
when I would read or write for any length ot time, and
on rising to my feel I would be pertectly blind tor
several minntes, and would have to hold to something
to prevent falling.
1 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 gooff f
indeed for the first time in iny lite I etjoy my dinner
more tbau any meal during the day.
You kindly sent me four bottles again last night,
and I begau again this morning, and 1 hope to he en
tirely relieved. Please accept my heartfelt thanks aud
best wishes.
Very truly your most grateful friend,
M. B. C. Rivers.
My journal abounds with similar letters, all of
which I guarantee to be genuine and written by the
persons whose names they bear.
Do not suffer yourself 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 has stood
the test for twenty five years; it is still the Sarsaparilla,
of the day, and of the age, towering over all others iu
popularity and its cutalive qualities. Avoid all those
who are trying to pai n off oil 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 and
scrofulous affections. Always bear that in mind.
Another Testimony.
Benton Barracks, Mo-, )
April 31), 1866. (
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing the efficacy
of your Sarsaparilla, and the healing and beneficial
qualities it possesses, I send you the following state
ment ol my ease:
I was wounde I about two years ago, was taken
prisoner and confiued for sixteen mouths, liemg
moved so often, my wounds have not healed yet. I
have not set up a moment since I was wounded. I
am shot through the hips. My general health is im
paired, and I need something to ass.st nature, I have
more faith in your Sarsanwrilla than anything else. I
wish that which is genuine. Please express nte half a
dozen bottles, and oblige.

P. S.—The following was written April 30th, \4fib,
by Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capt. Johnsoa:
Dr John Bull—Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. C. S.
Johnson, was a skiiliul surgeon and physician in Cen
tral New York, where he died, leaving the above C.
P. Johnson to my care. Atthiiteen years of age lie
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 sotes, and general debili
ty. Perfect success has attended it. The cures ef
fected in some rases of scrofula and fei er sores were
almost mirarulons- I atn very anxious for my son
to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla. He is
fearful of getting a spurious article, heuce his writing

he will recover.
