A. Douglas, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of Columbus, died on Thursday. A Boston court bas at last decided um brellas property. We shall immediately bring suit against twelve individuals. A man named Dousman has recently deceased out in Wisconsin, who leaves $5,000,000 for his heirs to fight over. The jury in the case of Crangle vs. Blodgett, at Chicago, mention of which was made at the time, has given the plain tiff $50,000 damages. Horses are selling in Bourbon county, Kentucky, from SIOO to $350; mules from SSO to $200; beef cattle from 6 to 7£ cents per pound. The Selma Times says that a great many Alabama negroes are being hired to come to Georgia and vote in the municipal elec tions. Lookout for them! Hon. Jacob Shafer, Democrat, a native of Rockingham county, Va., and a broth in-law of Gov. Letcher, has been elected to Congress from Montana. At an election held in Thomasville, on Saturday, the 3d inst., for Justice of the Peace, Donald McLean, Democrat, receiv ed sixty majority over bis Radical oppo nent. Clayton, carpet-bagger, and calling him self Governor of Arkansas, while out shooting last week had his hand shattered by the bursting of bis gun. Pity it had not been his “ toil” head. Mrs. and Miss Carrington, of Albany, New York, while walking on the track of the Central Railroad near that city, on Saturday night, were ran over and in stantly killed. “Reconstruction” is “ a good thing” in Sumter county. On Tuesday of last week, the “Liverpool Cotton Company’s” plantation, in that county, a fair average place, was sold at public outcry at Three Dollars and five cents an acre. Os seven “ Governors ” of as many “ re constructed ” States, only two lived South before the war. Os ten “ Senators ” eight are carpet-baggers; and of thirty-three “ Representatives” twenty-two belong to the same vile breed. The recent marriage, at Buffalo, of Mr. Deville and Miss Damn, has resulted, after a week’s honeymoon, in the Deville’s de parture with $350 belonging to his bride, who is left disconsolate, and spends her time in repeating her maiden name.—[Ex. The Radicals of the last Congress voted themselves two hundred and fifty pairs of white kid gloves. They cost the people six hundred and fifteen dollars, but will not conceal the plunder stains on the hands of the men by whose votes the Treasury was robbed.— Philadelphia Aye. KEEP WARM AND SAVE YOUft LIFE. The New York Sun, albeit a journal from whose columns we do not often quote, embodies in the followiug so much that ia sound in principle and timely in its appearance, that we adopt it as our own, and urge its consideration upon all. If its suggestions were acted upon, physicians and druggists, to say nothing of under takers, would soon complain of dull times. Says the Sun: Within thirty days from to-day there will be many deaths which might be pre vented by warmer clothing. Many a fatal case of dysentery is caused by the want of a woolen undershirt, or an extra blanket at night. The sudden changes of temper ature which occur at this season of the year are very trying to the constitution. People with weak lungs quickly feel the effect of them. Frequently the thermom eter falls many degrees within a few hours. Not only the feeble, but robust and strong persons suffer from such great variations of temperature. When the weather grows cold rapidly, the pores of the skin are suddenly closed, and the result frequent ly is a bad cold, which may hold on all the winter and terminate in consumption or a fatal attack of dysentery, or that dread ful disease the typhoid fever. If the day seems ever so warm and bright, it is much safer to wear plenty of under clothing at this season. In the evening the dews fall, and it grows chilly very suddenly. At all times, even when it feels the warmest, one experiences the difference which is so marked between the autumn atmosphere and that of summer. There is something more than the mere difference in the temperature, it may be in the electricity. An occasional fire in a room dries the wall and purifies the at mosphere. A little timely attention to all these things would prevent a great deal of disease and suffering which are among the ills to which humanity is liable. There are many ready made coffins at the cabinet shops and undertakers—little, short, tiny coffins—which are going to be filled up soon by little children—some of them as sweet, beautiful little children as anybody’s but your own; and just to think of it, these coffins might be left empty, and the little children might be left in their homes to play and frolic and make those homes bright, if only warm shoes and stockings, which would keep their little feet dry, and warm clothes and soft woolen blankets were more plenty. Do not bother yourself to hunt up a missionary. Be sure that whenever you send a pair of warm shoes to a needy little child, a good enough missionary, though you do not see him, always travels inside ofthem. In warming feet and warming bodies you warm hearts also; and besides, It warms your own heart to do this. PENNSYLVANIA, INDIANA, AND OHIO. Os the prospect in these States “ Pink ’» writes as follows from New York, and un der date of the 3d inst., to the Charleston Courier: The Democrats arc less discouraged than they were two weeks ago. Better news has been received from other States, and the aspect generally is a great deal more favorable to their cause than one was led to anticipate during the early days of Sep tember. From Pennsylvania the news is decidedly better, and shrewd politicians express the opinion that the Democracy will triumph in that State. A great deal of money is always required to carry on the campaign in that State, and at first there ap peared to be quite a lack of it among the Conserva tives, l»ut since a supply requisite for all necessary purposes lias been obtained, and everything now works with a charm under the energetic superin tendence of Mr. Wallace, Chairman of the Demo cratic State Committee. Ohio remains doubtful, with the chances in favor of the Republicans, owing to the jealousies of local politicians. Still there is good reason for anticipa ting a decided increase in the number of Democratic Congressmen from that State. Some say that about fifteen Democratic members will represent Ohio in the next Congress. But this report I give you as coming from a person who is apt to look rather often on the bright side of the house. The reports from Indiana are exceedingly gratify ing, and hut few doubt that the Democrats will carry that State. Senator Hendricks is doing a great work there for the success of the ticket. His services there surpass those of any leading Demo crat in the country, and have thus far met with the most extraordinary success. His speeches in oppo sition to Governor Baker have been eagerly listened to by enthusiastic hearers, and his arguments have been so convincing, that almost everywhere he makes converts to the great cause. In addition to Mr. Hendricks’ services, there exists a most effi cient organization in Indiana, under the command of General Love, called the White Boys in Blue, who are actively engaged throughout the State, thoroughly organized, and comprising a large num ber of soldiers, who will vote for Seymour and Blair. To-Day.— Electioua will bo held to-day in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana. Great exertions have been made in all these States by both parties, and judged by the boldness and confidence of their utterances, both are sanguine of success. The wires to night will tell the story, and if the majorities are decisive, either way, settle practically, the result of the Presi dential election in November. Pennsyl vania seems to be the key to the position, and there the friends and enemies of the Constitution have wrestled most vigorous ly with each other. We have high hopes that the Right will prevail. Prom a con cise yet comprehensive record found in the Washington Express we extract as follows : For reference, it is valuable just now. Pennsylvania, at the last Presidential election, gave 20,075 majority for the Republicans. At the fast State election (1807) she gave 922 majority for the Democrats. The ofliees to be filled this year are those of Auditor and Surveyor Generals and Congressmen. Ohio gave a Republican majority at the Presidential election iu 1864 of 54,751, and at the gubernatorial election last year of 2,983; a full Congressional ticket, and all the State officers but the Governor are to be chosen thia year. Indiana gave a Republican majority of 20,189 for President in 1864, and of 14,202 at the State election in 1800. A full State and Cougressional ticket is to be chosen this year. W elcome !— The Savannah Republican reached us last night enlarged by the ad dition of one column to each page, with many typographical changes and improve ments, and looking as handsome as its face did in its palmiest days. Mr. Sneed greets its patrons and his old-time friends in this issue with afew well-chosen words, from which we make the following ex tracts. We say again, and right heartily, to him : Well done, and the fullest mea sure of success: The JieprMican , under my future direction, shall not he a political journal In the party sense of that term. In polities, as In all things else. It will he In dependent, and the representative of truth and the public good, as they appear to the mind of the edi tor. A restoration of the Union upon the principles of Justice and equal rights—the only cement that cau bind it together as a harmonious and permanent whole—will be the end and aim of my political la bors. A constitutional Union, with the rights of all the States unimpaired, and the liberty of the citi zen held suered, as contradistinguished from arbi trary government, and the concentration of all power In the Federal arm, shall be taken as my polar star in the present and all future struggles. The political party that shall represent those views, and Is pledged to give them a practical effect, by whatsoever name It may be known, and without reference to the past, will be considered the cham pion of popular rights and free institutions, and as such command my cordial approval and best eilorts for its success. Jasper Blackburn, Radical M. C. from Louisiana, aod editor of a paper in that State, writes that “aa things now stand, Louisiana is sure for the Democracy.” Rooms Democratic Central ) Executive Committee, V Atlanta, Ga., October 8,1868. | To the Democratic Party of Georgia: It is important, in the approaching election for Electors of President and vice President of the United States, to exclude illegal votes from the ballot box. For tho purpose of guarding as effect ually as possible against such votes, the Democrat ic Clubs in the several counties in this State are requested to appoint two or more challengers for each precinct and place of voting. It is desired that challengers bo appointed who know personally the voters residing in tho vicinity of the precincts to which they may be assigned for duty, aud that all strangers and persons not known to be entitled to vote, do challenged upon offering to vote, and required to take the oaths prescribed by the Constitution and election laws. It is not intended or expected that captious challenges should be made—challenges should be made only in cases of doubt, or when it is well known that the persons offering to vote are not entitled It is earnestly requested that no freedman who is entitled to the right of suffrage be obstructed in the exercise of that right. According to the election laws of this State the managers o? the election must be justices of the peace, and freeholders. From the necessity of the case the management of the election will bo in the hands of white men. But one day is allowed for the election, and in many of the counties the num ber of voters will be largely increased over previous elections, so much so as to give room for doubts whether all will have an opportunity to vote, and tills may cause the polls to be crowded to the ex clusion of some of the voters. Under such circum stances there may be danger of conflicts between the two races, and riots may be the consequence. To avoid collisions and riots, and in order that the election may be conducted fairly, the managers arc especially requested to make their arrangements, so that all who are entitled to vote shall have an opportunity of voting without being crowded or jostled from the polls. This will be necessary in order to preserve the public peace. Let all have an opportunity to vote without hindrance or ob struction, who possess tho requisite qualifications. In giving these instructions, the Central Execu tive Committee do not assume to dictate to tho managers of the election, but make these sugges tions, that the public peace may be preserved and riots avoided. E. G. Cabaniss, Chairman Cen. Ex. Committee. ± New York, July Ist, 1868. Dear Sir : In your paper of last week, you or one of your correspondents say that Dr. Drake is not the originator of the celebrated Plantation Bitters, and that they were manufactured and sold by one Pedro Martcllc, an old Spaniard, in the Island of St. Thomas, over forty years ago, as every old sea captain can testify. Now, sir, I can testify to the above being true, for I have followed the sea for over forty years, most of the time doing business with the West Indies. These same Bit ters, diflerently put up and named, were brought to my notice on my first trip to the Island of St. Croix for a cargo of rum, and for years and years after, my ship’s stores were never without them. I always supplied my family and many of my neigh bors with them, and can truly Bay that a better Bitters and Tonic is not made in all the world. Yours, truly, Capt. Henry Wentz. Magnolia Water— Superior to the best impor ted German Cologne, and sold at half the price. OBITUARY. Death is the King of Terrors! These are words, the mighty, the deep, the solemn Import of which we seldom, or never, realize, until a vic tim from our own household is claimed. It is in very truth a terrible thing for the young, full of hope, full of health, full of vigor, to pass suddenly from life’s busy scene. It is yet more terrible for the dissolute, the proud. rebellious, violator of Divine law, checked in his reckloss career, to be hurled from time into eternity; to go with sin-stained soal into the presence of an offended Avenger! But when one who has lived his appointed time; has lived usefully ; has performed every duty to God and man ; has performed it well; passes from the theatre of life to his recompense —a blissful Immortality—though the external evidences of death, the shrinking features, the deep-drawn sigh, the shortening breath, the last gasp, may wring our souls with anguish, yet Death wears not that forbidding aspect we oth erwise assign it. Thus it was with tho subject whose demise we chronicle, Mrs. Nancy Faulk, relict of Mark Faulk, which occurred at the residence of her son, in Twiggs county, September 21s,tult. f in the sixty-sixth year of her age. She has passed away ; how quietly ! how nois lessly! As she lived, so she died, meekly, a Christian. Too pure for earth, she was ripe for the grave; suited to Heaven, she has gone to her reward. Her life was spent, not in the bustling throng of the giddy, the gay, but amid the duties of home and the domestic circle ; in that sphere in which she delighted to move, and in which she moved so well. With no ambition to shine, the glitter and the tinsel of fashion never caught her admiration ; but with earnest desire to meet the requirements and duties of her station and family, she mildly, but firmly and resolutely, met and accomplished them all. In every relation of life she was the same calm, self-possessed being. She was apparently timid ; it was in appearance only, and it was the result either of great prudence, or great sympathy and deep anxiety for the welfare of others. She was by nature reserved, and most happ y when most retired. That she was gifted with much good Judgment and tact, is proved by the fact that, left a widow with a large family, her own, as well as step children, sae managed to raise them successfully to mahood and womanhood, and to gain and pre serve to her death the affection of them all. It seemed peculiarly her fortune to be called on to raise children, of whom she was the principal agent in the raising of no less than six families. What an ordeal! Who can appreciate tne per plexing cares, the long nights of anxious watch fulness, to which she was subjected In a situation so trying ? Yet who ever knew her impatient or ill-humored? Who ever knew her to resort to sterner restraint than rebuke ? Her nature so kind, revolted not at cruelty only, but at harsh ness even. Who will say that she was not noble in her self-sacrificing care, In her meek, Chris tian-like endurance of the toil and anxieties, of the dull, wearing routine of motherly duties for so many years devolved upon her, than If she had exhibited those traits of character and performed those deeds that cause mankind to stare and wonder, and that mark an era in the world’s history ? To her sex, how perfect is her example I In health, how dllligent, how exact and prompt in the execution of every domestic arrangement! yet without hurry or confusion. In sickness, how uncomplaluiug ! In every trial her reliance was in Heaven, her trust in God. Her piety was not noisy or spasmodic, bat habitual, unobtru sive, sincere. Devotion with her was not a disa greeable task, but a pleasant duty. Earth was not her home—she was building a mansion in the skies, and to that mansion she has gone ! While she was herself preparing her own burial apparel with that same foresight and nicety that marked her every act, wliat glorious visions she may have had I what foretaste of that Happy Land! we cannot tell. But this we know : Death came not unlooked for or unwelcome. "Be ye also ready,” she hadobeyed. Daring forty years she had been a member of the Motho dist Church With unfaltering confidence she entered the dark valley, she crossed the cold river, but not unattended ; troops of white-robed angels escort ed her to Immanuel’s Gates—her home, her “ long-sought home.” Friends, weep not; removed In youth and beauty, with Heaven’s augellc hosts, she Is hap py now and forever!

Commanding officers are permitted to hire quarters, temporarily, when it can be done for reasonable rates; but this will not preclue the necessity of carrying tents, as the commands, in all cases, must be in readiness to move at the shortest notice, with all supplies required for their efficiency. “District Commanders will instruct Post Command ers in their duties, and the relative position of civil and military powers. They will impress on Post Com manders that they are to act in aid and co-cperation, and in subordination to the civil authorities; that they are to exercise discretion and judgment, unbiased by political or other prejudices; that their object should be exclusively to preserve the peace and up hold law and order, and they must be satisfied such is the object of the civil officer calling on them for aid ; that they must in all cases, where time will permit, ap ply for instruction to superior authority, but they must, at all hazards, presevo the peace, and not be restrained by technical points, when, in their consci entious judgment, nnder the rules above set forth, it is their duty to act. Post Commanders, on being notified of the proposed holding of political meetings, may send an officer, and, if necessary, a detachment, to watch the proceedings and see that the peace is preserved. “To the people of the several States composing the Department the Major General Commanding appeals that they will co-operate with him and the civil author ities in sustaining law and order, in preserving the peace, and in avoiding those scenes of not and blood shed, and the wanton destruction of property and lite, which has already, in some instances,been en acted in this Department. He urges abstinence Irani all inflammatory and incendiary appeals to the pas sions; discountenancing the keeping open of liquor shops on days of political meetings and of election; the abstaining from carrying arms, and asserting the individual right of construing laws by force of arms. No just cause is advanced by resort to violence. Let there be charity and forbearance among political op ponents, whatever may be the resuli. Let each good citizen determine that all who, under the law, have a right to the ballot shall exercise it undisturbed. If there are disputed points of law, let them be referred to the Courts, and let not mobs or political clubs, or other irresponsible bodies, construe and undertake to execute the law. This appeal is made in the earnest hope that the Major General Commanding can rely on the good sense and correct judgment of the mass of the people, and that he will not be compelled to resort to the exercise of the power with which he is en trusted, and which he will most reluctantly employ. But lie thinks it his duty to make known that,so far as the power under his command will admit, ho will not permit the peace to be broken, and that he will not be restrained in the conscientious discharge of his duty by technicalities of laws made when the presont anom alous condition of affairs was neither anticipated nor provided for. “By order of Major General Meade. ocl3-d&wnov3 “R.

In proof of their superiority, I have numerous tes timonials from Planters, Cotton Dealers, and Spinners, many of them well known iu this com munity aud commercial cl teles, all testify lug to the superiority of the Cotton ginned on them ; that It readily commands from one to two cents more than that from the common one-brush Gins. The steel brush, or comb. Is the last to act on the Cotton, and leaves It appearing as nicely canled. Manufacturers say ft saves them labor In preparing tlve Cotton for spinning, and hence they oan afford to pay more for It. They are made under the personal supervision of the In ventor, who Is a Southern man, and who only awaits the Issue of their suocess here to build up extensive shops among us.
