THE UNION & RECORDER. |01d ‘Southern Recorder" and consolidated.] Federal Union ’’ FOB. PRESIDENT : HORACE GREELEY, OF NEW YORK. FOR VICE PRESIDENT: B. GRATZ BROWN, OF MISSOURI. FOR CONGRESS : Col. JAMES H. BLOUNT, Of Bibb County. FOR SECRETARY OF STATE, [Subject to a Democratic nomination,] N. C. BARNETT, Former Senetary of Stale. Wednesday Morning, October 9, 1972. 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- Athcns and Eatonton Railroad. Watkinsville, Ga., Sept. 24, 1872. At a meeting of the corporators of the Athens and Eatonton Railroad, held this day in Watkinsville, Judge James D. Pittard was called to the Chair, and P. W. Hutchinson, Jr., made Secretary. On motion of Judge J. Jennings, it was agreed that this meeting appoint commissioners to receive subscriptions of stock for tins railroad. On motion of Dr. R. M. Smith it was determined that the commission ers should be allowed to make no con tingent subscriptions. The following named gentlemen were appointed commissioners to so licit an.i take stock subscriptions, viz : From Morgan county—Col A. G. Fos ter, Joseph R. High, J. A. Broughton, Carter Shepherd, Reubin Miller. Oscar Thompson and Lewis G. Anderson. From Putnam county— William De- Jarnette, W. D. Terrell, J. C. Dur ham, Irby H. Scott, Di. H. H. Cog- burn. From Greene county—V. D. Gresham and William McWorter, Sr. From Baldwin county—Dr S. G. White and L. H. Briscoe. From Wal ton county—Isaac Powell and Dr. D. C. Jones. From Clark county—Dr. R. M. Smith, T. A. Burke, John E Talmadge, M. L. Durham, Emory F. Anderson, Dr. James A. Price, Dr. James Hester, Howell Cobb and Hen ry Jennings. From Chatham county —J. W. Lathrop, Charles E. Groover, 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 ed, subject to the call of the Chair man, or any three of the corporators. Jas. D. Pittard, Chairman. P. W. Hui cheson Jr., Secretary'.

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 ELECTION RETURNS.

Rochkstek, October 3.—Yesterday forenoon at Lyons, Wayne county, a fanner's team ran away, throwing the man out ol the wagon and killing him. Iu the afternoon a relative Darned Fox. drove the runaway team to the village, for the purpose of procur ing a coffi 1 for the deceased, and in crossing tile Cen tral Railroad truck a locomotive collided with the the wagon and Fox and the horses were killed.

A famous criminal case that of Mrs. Fair, has just come to an end iu San Francisco, the prisoner being acquitted. Pittsburg was the scene of another grand demon stration, on Monday night, iu honor of Car 1 Scliurz No such procession has been witnessed during the campaign. It wus meant by the Germans to give Scliurz a welcome that should surpass the affair gotten up by the Radicals last week under the guise of a sol diers’and sailors’reunion. Alleghany county claims about 8,000 German voters, aud these, with their fraus, families aud friends, made the demonstration a grand success- At 7 o clock the streets began to fill. The rallying point was llie St Charles Hotel, where Scliurz and Dooliitle had their headquarters Every street wilnin half a mile of the hotel was filled with marching dobs and interested spectators At8 o’clock th • procession started, headed by the distinguished guests, in car riages. It is estimated there were present fuliy 6,500 torch bearers, and it required one hour to pass a given point. As ’hey crossed the river, over the suspension bridge, the scene was very grand There were about 25.000 people in the square where the speeches were made. Both Selim z and Doolittle excited the warmest applause. Alleghany, in the last Presidential contest, was the banuei county of the Union for Grant in pro- poitionto population Democrats and Liberals are sanguine of victory in the Octuher election. The Ground lluruing l'p —Fort Pillow’* It loir Banka Burning—A Subterraueau 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. We shall seek to be further informed upon this won derful phenomena with no little curiosity.—Memphis Aia/anrhe. Prospect* of the Coining Parking Mrnaon. So far as auditors’ returns for the several prominent hog glowing Slates o( the West have been obtained, they reveal a large increase in the hog crop of 1872 over the crop of 1871, and packers who have taken most .pains to be informed feel sure that the crop of hogs suitable for cutting the coming season will ex-eed by 22 or 30 percent the number found suitable last season. Some of the leading packers are confi lent that the coming winter packing season wit! he ail unusually ac tive one, and opinio: a were expiesaed that Chicago will pack ! ,5(10,000 hogs during I he months of Novem ber.

Administration managers speak meaningly of their great dependence on the negro vote; they expect to make large use of it. Ohio, Pennsylvania aud Indi ana abut upon States in which tiiere is a Isrge negro vote which Will not he wanted at hooie in October, but will be useful in the Steles named. From Virginia a Democrat, who will vote for Uieeley and Brown in November, writes to the Tribune that the State is suffering depopulation almost, iu consequence of the hurrying northward ot hosts of negroes who are to vote in Pennsylvania. The Grant managers have all the machinery 111 their own hands, and will stop at nothing to save Hai tranft and his cortuptcrew. Will the honest election officers in Pennsylvania look to this? Or notio depend on officials, will the Liberals in the Keystone Stale constitute themselves a coinmit- teo of vigilance/ This is no idle rumor; our corres pondent is a trustworthy man whose sources of infor mation are good, and who knows whereof he speaks It is designed to carry Pennsylvania by exporting colored votesfi0111 Virginia.

This swindling deprived large numbers of negroes of voting. Great indignation is expressed among the negroes. They also collected money from the negroes to pay poll taxes and aud kept it giving the same bogus receipt. A M KCiiAMCS Building and loan Asso ciation is about to be organized in Carters- ville.

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, John I. Cheatham. A large crowd called on and serenaded Gov. Smith on Thursday night. The Constitution says this of his response: He drew a contrast between the Democratic and Republican Gubernatorial Conventions —The first represented the virtue, intelligence and wealth of Geor gia; the latter, ignorance, stupidity aud Federal office holders. The majority on Wednesday had said in em phatic terms, that virtue and honesty should rule Georgia—There was another battle to be fought.

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.

CO. 96 Chambers »»„ N. Y,, •r Atlanta, Os, 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. Capt. C. P. JOHNSON, St. Louis, Mo. P. S.—The following was written April 30th, \4fib, by Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capt.

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.
