Editors Morning News: wanner mu»i — “ publicans?’ as they are termed, Dana, * malnnfr ft. 1 don, and onslaught on the Beast C7STICE TO THE SAVANNAH POLICE. It will be observed that General Meade, in ais dispatch to General Grant, has the can dor to admit that the negro demonstration at the polls on Tuesday was suppressed by the police, while in Augusta the military were brought in requisition. In Savannah the municipal government is in. the .hands of a Democratic Mayor and Board of Aldermen, with a well disciplined and effective police force, of good and true men, selected for their fitness, courage and reliability as guar dians of the public peace, while the Mayor of Augusta is a Radical minion forced upon the people by military authority, and re tained in the position which he disgraces for his subserviency to the Radical party. The municipal and county officers of Augusta, as well as its police, are the servile creatures of the same corrupt and unprincipled faction. While the people of Augusta may be thank-. ■ for the presence, on Tuesday last, of a force of disciplined and orderly white troops, under the command-of a prudent and gen tlemanly officer, our own citizens have an equal right to congratulate themselves that we have a city government and police force upon whose prudence, firmness and fearless discharge of duty they may rely in any emergency. _ REAPING HIS REWARD. The New York Times says: “We are sorry, though uot surprised, to hear that Mr. Stan ton, after four or five years* service in the War Department, retires from office with his health seriously impaired, his pecuniary re sources exhausted, and his professional busi ness broken up, even if his health would per mit him to attend to it. Few men ever con nected with our Government in any way have worked harder or rendered the country more eminent and distinguished service than Mr. Stanton; and it is by no means satisfactory to reflect that this has been done at the sac rifice of everything that can make the re mainder of his life comfortable. Nor is there much consolation to be drawn from the fact that history will appreciate and record the extent of that service and the obligation it Tmn laid upon the country. It would be much more satisfactory to know that this °Wrt5i iealtff^senously*unpaired” and “pe cuniary resources exhausted,” the condition of the late Secretary of War—he who lorded it over the South; who insulted and tyranized over our people; who^stauds accountable in this world, and who will be held accountable in the next, for. the life of Jdrs. Surratt, is indeed deplorable. The Tunes any a “it would be much more satisfactory to know that the country will see to it that those who render it honest and effective sei'vice shall not ruin them selves and their families by doing so.*’ But can this sentiment apply to Mr. Stanton? Surely not! “Honest service” he has not ren dered the country. There is no honesty m tyranny; none in oppression. Stanton is reaping his just reward- The Times may sympathize with him, but the country, never. —Atlanta Intelligencer. is glorious. In this comity the Democratic majority is 135, a gain of about 400 over the last elec tion. In Appling county there was not a Radical vote polled. The Democratic majority will be abont 450. In Wayne county, as far as heard from, not a Radical vote. Georgia is .gloriously redeemed. Clinch County—Stockton precinct—Sey-. mour, 73; Grant none. "Wake County.—Seymour, 170; Grant 86. Decatub County.—Seymour, 1,351; Grant, t 141. Democratic majority, 210. The elec tion passed off quietly. In Baintiridge all the stores were closed, and throughout the county all was peaceful, the freedmen con ducting themselves in a commendable man ner. The Democrats made a clear gain of 600 votes over the last election. Scbevbn County—(official)—Seymour, 623; Grant, 147. Piekce County.—Seymour, 240; Grant 105. Macon County—(official.)—Seymour, 804; Grant, 786. In the election of April last the Radical majority in Macon was 400. Schley County—(official.)—Seymour, 416; Grant, 69. Effingham County—(official.)—Seymour, 346; Grant 116. In this county there were 7 blank votes cast Libehty County—(official.)—Seymour. *288; Grant, 207. There was no election held at Riceboro precinct. Negroes, not freeholders, took it upon themselves to open the polls un der their management, and Tom, late repre sentative of Liberty county in the General Assembly, as chief manager of the election, brought in the returns to the county officers, who rejected the vote as illegal. Jeffebson County.—Seymour’s majority is region re lying oil washed, he defies his. foes, and threatens that Gbant himself. A correspondent of the gives the following account of the Beast’s last speech: .j ■ J f. , He called his audience to witness that in his first speech to them in this canvass, he The Cotton Tax in South Cabolina.—The _ Comptroller-General of South Carolina has instructed Tax Officers to include in their quarterly assesments all cotton purchased and sold by merchants, factors, brokers, bank ers, or other persons buying or shipping on commission, or otherwise, which was grown this year, and now exempt from tax by the United States Government by Act .of Con gress, and to collect twenty cents on every hundred dollars worth of it, the same aB on- other merchandize, considering cotton sold whenever it is shipped. The English papers received by the last mails 6tate that the writs for the election of members of Parliament will be issued on the —11th of November. The borough nomina tions will take place on the 16th, and the polling on the 17th. In the counties, the nominations will take place on the 18th, and the polling on the 20th. Parliament, it is asserted, will meet on the 10th or 11th of De cember. How Peace was Saved.—The Telegraph says peace was saved in Macon, Tuesday, at the price of great forbearance on the part of the whites. Many were grossly insulted, in a purely gratuitous and uncalled for fashion, by the Radical negroes. Had the scenes enact-' jedin ilacon, Tuesday, taken place in any Northern town or city, Ethiopia would have been cleaned out as soon asH-stick-could bo shaken.. - f-.-vl’ a tili Fight in Columbus.-—A collision occurred in the streets of Columbus, Monday night, between a Democratic .-procession and a band of rowdy negroes, who assailed it with ff — brickbat -and a pistol shot. One -negro was killed, and two negroes and one white wounded. The fight was provoked by ne- -groes. . - ^ / ;i — —It.is said that in England there are many fermers who more than support themselves and large fomilit* on the'product of six acres, besides paying heavy rents. - Agricul turists in Germany, who » re proprietors of five acres, support themselves, an< i up money. It is stated that Bullock returned v, anta after an absence of about three wees., -having been successful in making satisfactory financial arrangements in New York for the State of Georgia. All Hokob to Macon.—The Telegraph says that of the 4,800 votes polled in that city, uot exceeding ten white men voted for Gbant and Colfax. 157.

At Clinton, the county seat, the negroes marched into the Court-house yard with fife and drum in a threatening manner, and rather than have a disturbance or light, the whites determined to hold no election in Clinton. STROM FLORIDA. A business letter to the Mousing News, dated Quincy, Florida, 2d inst., says: “The weather is quite cold- for this season of the year in Florida. A heavy frost .fell in this vicinity last night, and at this time, 8 o’clock p. m., it is colder than the morning. “To-day we witnessed the inauguration of the County Court for Gadsden county, un der the new reconstructed State Government. Under the present Constitution of the State, all 'testimony must be reduced to writing and subscribed to by the witness, which is a great bore to the members of the bar, jury and. witnesses, and.consumes the time of the Court to a great extent.

He referred to the card of J. W. Simonton, denying the statement made by him at Salem, and said Simonton had omitted to deny the main point of dhat speech, to-wit: that he got thrashed m Cali fornia by his nephew. He reasserted the truth of the statement, and said that Simon ton was thrashed by his nephew, Georgo But ler Alluding to General Kilpatrick, who, he said, had left the State of New Jersey, where the contest between the Democracy and Re publicanism was close, to come down here and make speeches against him; he stated that Kilpatrick was paid $2,000 for his week s work, and it was cheap enough. He had no objection to his earning his money, but he had bettor not talk about patriotism while he was doing it. He disliked to enter a per sonal controversy with General Kilpatrick, but if he continued bis attacks upon him he should be compelled to go a little into ws personal history. As for General Hawley, he had also entered the lists against him; he, too, bad better look after the interests of bis own State, which was lost last year through bis notions on finance. He referred to the declarations made by the Opposition speakers that even if be (Butter) was elected, he would have nothing to say in the distflbu tion of offices in this district. This anxiety about the “offices,” he said, showed what his enemies were fighting for. “As to that Mat ter ” he said, “Gen. Grant will treat me the same as he will all other Republican repre- sentatives. Should he not do ho, but should he single me out for exceptional treatment in matters pertaining to the interests of my Dis trict, you all know me well enough to feuow that he wifi have as much as be can atteud.to for the rest of his administration.” He in formed his hearers that his opponents bad spread abroad a rumor that a letter from Gen. Grant, opposing his re-election, was in the hands of a gentleman from his District. It was to be published just on the eve of the election, either 0» Saturday or Monday next. He cautioned them to beware of any such publication, for it was a forgery." It was not likely that a man in Gen. Grant's position, who had kept silence on national issues dur ing the whole canvass, would now stoop to intermeddle in the affairs ot this District; and if any such letter made its appearance, he would pronounce it in advance a forgery. me climate'is unsurpassecL Ko healthier..

Buthere theif eyes were regaled with a goodly sight The tatt trees of the vigor- oustorest; ilhe dense cane brakes of the BILLUBDS! billiard Oconee bottoms, and other evidences of the great fertffity of the soil so for surpassing the other places they had examined, deter mined them choice at once. Tradition tolls how beneath these spreading trees, and be side bubbling springs of pure water here found gushing from the earth, the location of Georgia’s capital was determined at once; and how the choice was confirmed by invigo rating potations of the limpid article of spir its which was then manufactured in the old style from the grain of the Indian corn, minus the modern improvement of strychnine and the like. It was no doubt the custom of the venerable Commissioners to “take a drink” at every spring they found. The Commissioners were right. Here the Capital wMfijea. and here the State Gov ernment, in th e . T prosperity,- had its nod of Georgia’s on. IfcjuuQw re moved? but the sober second thought of »U the people of Georgia will restore it to us soon.

But wherever the Capitol may be located, of the State has the unrivalled of onr section t advantages alluded to in the beginning these desultory remarks.

Fear! fear is the last instrumentality we have mentioned for our ruling men. Fear is the only element of union the Rad- cals North present to the South- We set up a Federative Republic with them, by the on ly principles of all free governments—affection and free will. The man who supports a gov ernment from fear, it matters not what the form of government may be, is a political slave. He is only free, when with a free will, he offers the homage of affection, to the gov ernment he erects over him. This was the nature of the Government of the United State, when it was instituted. When it lost the affection and confidence of the South, it failed, as it ought to have failed, to be com patible with the broad principles on which it was built. It is now attempted to reconstruct the Union of the United States, on another principle—the principle of fear, the principle ■ inn nr him iliu ane—very ’ 6vuruihGilts 'which are most inconsistent with their existence ? The thing is impossible. But the South, whilst it is attempted to rule her by fear, inspires fear also. All wrong doers are more or less cowards. They are conscious that they justly inspire resent ment, and therefore fear it The South is feared. She is feared by the people of the North. A people who kept at bay for four years three times their numbers, with the whole civilized world for their recruiting: grounds, and the wealth of the world to fili their treasuries, no men can wrong and not fear. And they are feared throughout the South.. The negroes fear them. The Cau casian race has ever been the enlightening conquering race amongst'the nations. To them have been revealed the oracles of God, and they are at once the teachers, and the pastors and masters of the world. All the colored races fear them, from an instinctive feeling of inferiority. In the East, Japhet dwells in the tents of Shem. The poor negro who:has been in .contact with hliH fears him. In the two grand model negro repub lics! in Haiti and Liberia, the white man is prohibited from entering. The late insurrec tion in Jamaica was for the same purpose, to drive out the feared white men, although there are but ten thonsand whites to three hundred thousand blacks. Here this policy is hopeless. There are two white men to one negro in the South, and on the question of the rale of races, the white race of the South will constitute but one army. Even in those States where the negro predominates in num bers, nothing but the white men who lead and rule them have induced them to dare an antagonism. They are told that the twenty- five millions of the white race in the North will uphold and enforce their supremacy. Not from any reliance upon themselves, but from a reliance on the hostile white Radicals of the North, do they presume to rale in the South. Tet they fear. They are full of fears and doubts. Every collision in the South between the races proves their fears, and these fears are justly grounded, deep in the nature of things, far beyond their-compre hension. And the carpet-baggers and scalawags—are they without their fears ? Their very looks— their reticence of speech, shew their fears. Like crows and ravens they croak loud in flocks; but let them meet the Southern man by himself—his shyness and wariness shews his fears. Let him meet a Southern man on the high-road, and he spurs his horse to leave behind him his association, with, a quicker pace to reach his journey’s end. He knows that he is the dire and gratuitous ene my'of the white race of the South; he is not without apprehension, that they know it too: A day of retribution may come. With the white race of the South there is no fear of negro supremacy—and no fear of these white leaders and associates in their rale. These they can easily sweep out of their path. But they are not prepared to meet the power of the Government of the United States. Both by the United States Government, and these. Slate- governments created over them by the authority of the United States, they are closed around with despotisms. Not to fear the daugers and troubles, their political condition costs over them, would not be human. Our natural, sympathies for .those wo lovearotmd us—our love for our country, cannot but breed deep anxieties and cares; but in personal fear from' the political condition of the country,,we be lieve that there is-less in the South--tiian in any portion of the United States. Men result in disintegrating the large plantations which the development of that extinct system of labor built up. We now know of many large plantations in this region made up by tjje neighboring plantations under the slave tystyni; these are ready now to be re- solyed into their pijginaj elements. The owners will sell half," anq money make improvements worth for more jo them than the lauds they sell- And for the pur chasers of these halves of snch plantations are vast fortunes in store, if they will but come and plant and sow and reap them.—MUledge- ville Union.
