Where did this money come from, now being used to affect the election in Geor gia ? Who sent it here ? Was it “A. J?” The Democrats, we learn, are pretty flush just uow, and we are very well satisfied the money they are spending did not come out of their pockets, for they never had it to use that way. Who donated the large amount? Does the U. S. Treasury make the loan in tho hope of carrying the State, and set it down to the “secret service fund?” A THourlh. It is a glorious thing to have a good Gov ernor, nttd »till more glorious to have that Governor backed by a good party—the bone and sinew of the country—men from the farm, the workshop, and nil the honest pursuits of life—men who seek no office, but love their country because its institutions protect them and promise protection to their children to come after them. These are the men who are going in lor Bt.-u.ocs, the standard bearer of the Unionists of Georgia. • ♦» “(hcoriin'^'.lgjiin, It gives us pleasure to learn, from the Chronicle of yesterday, that Captain Bryant has been doing good service up at Greens boro. In a letter to the Chronicle, referring to a meeting recently held in that place, the writer says that after the people had been harangued by Gen. Gordon and the apos tate parson Cowart, ‘-Captain Bryant, of Augusta,'' proceeded to “set them right in these matters of State in a way so plain that the wayfaring man. though a fool, might not err therein. ne told them to beware of the evil counsels of such as I'ancc Wright and Ben. Hill. • Dishonorable Warfare, The Tory organs of this city continue to publish tho falsehoods started by a Tory paper in Macon, against the reconstruction candidate for Governor, notwithstanding Fiey have been proved to be as destitute of truth as are their authors of principle. If such a method of opposition to Col. Bl li.ock does not disgust three-fourths of the “respectable” readers of the Chronicle and the Constitutionalist, they’ are very different persons from what wc take them to be. This easy calling of names and making mouths, betrays a degree of weak ness which excites more of pity than any other feeling. The desperation of the Democracy is indeed unparalelled. The Duly of Kepublicans. The gubernatorial contest in Georgia is between Bullock, the friend of restoration, and Gordon, the obstructionist. The patriotic duty of every true Republican is to labor untiringly in order to frustrate the conspiracy of the opponents of Reconstruction. Let the Republicans of Georgia be united, and our Stute will at once renew her glorious career. Every one can aid the good work. The bright memories that cluster around the cause are alone sufficient to imbue all of us with energy and faith, even if the prospects surrounding us were even less cheering. As it is, we have everything to inspire us with confidence. The principles which we endorse have true vitality in them ; we have’ but to gallantly struggle against our foes resolving never to give them an inch of ground by our lukewarmness, and all will be well. - Dutj'nf llie Hour. Friends of the Union, the time has arrived when you must bestir yourselves. No party ever triumphed without constant, persevering and zealous effort. You must make such an effort if you would succeed—with such an effort you can succeed. The prospect of success is every day growiug brighter and brighter. Eet us then go to work, and devote ourselves to the cause. Circulate the docu ments, and arouse the people everywhere, to the dangers which threaten the State should her restoration ‘be defeated. In this good work we are willing to do our part. Hence we have ; placed the terms of our paper so low, that it may be scattered broadcast over the State, and arm every man with the means of defending the cause and our noble standard bearer. Let us, then, make a com mon and earnest effort, and Georgia will be redeemed. It can be accomplished if we will all do our duty—our whole duty. Organisation— liner gy—t Vctio in. Let these be the watchwords of every Republican in Georgia. It is evident that there is a Republican majority of many thousand votes in the State. Let them be brought forth and deposited for Bui, I. OCX and the Constitution. It is due to she noble cause of Restoration—to our worthy and patriotic standard-bearer—to our love of country—to the peace and welfare of the State, that we should be up and doing. Let every Republican bestir himself, and pint forth all the zeal of his nature in the cause to which he is attached. He, will enjoy in so doing, the high gratification of feeling that he is doing his duty; and when the glorious triumph that awaits us in Geor gia shall he trumpeted forth to our rejoicing friends in other States, he will feel a proud satisfaction in the reflection that he was not a laggard and a drone in the grand struggle which crowns our banner with victory. Camion. "Drowning men catcii at straws." The conductors of the Tory press in this section seem to base their hopes of success in tlie pending canvass upon their misreprcsenta lions to the people, relative to the antece dents of Colonel Bii.i.ocs ; and as they dare not openly advocate their own princi ples, and must have some political capital to operate on, we have no doubt that they will continue to retail these fabrications, with the hopes of making votes for Gordon by these contemptible means. Let all honest men beware of these wolves in sheep’s clothing. Those who propagate such falsehoods, or countenance such im morality for political effect, are breaking down the great barrier which protects the inner temple of American liberty. When truth and morality are bartered for party success, we may tremble for the fate of our country. Again, we say, beware—be not deceived. As the crisis approaches, the I ory presses become more and more reck less in their assertions. Their zeal out strips their discretion, and their preposterous inventions and distortions of truth, in most cases, carry contradiction on their face. Smoking. Two New Yorker* had a smoking match on Monday. One human chimney consumed twelve cigars and a quarter from 8 to 12 p. m. The less enterprising only got through ten and a half. In Stage coaching days we knew well a young gentleman who upon a wager, lighted a cigar in W—n, and kept tho fire all day long, eating breakfast and dinner, in the meantime, und won the bet easily. That was over twelvo hours continuous smoking for you ! The It ighi Kind of Religion. “I want,” says Undo Nick, “and wc al l want a religion that not only bears on the sinfulness of sin, but on the rascality of lying and stealing—religion that banishes all small stones and pebbles from cotton bags, sand from sugar, cltickory from coffee, alum from bread, lard from butter, strych nine from wine, and water from milk cans. The religion that is to advance tlic world, says uncle Nick, will not put the big straw berries and peaches ou the top and all the bad ones at tho bottom. It will not offer more baskets of foreign wines than the vineyards ever produced, in bottles.” Cheering- New* from all Part* of Georgia. We are daily receiving cheering news from every county in the State The people are “talking out in ineetin,” and the skies are brighter than ever before during the campaign. The Union feeling is pervading and permeating every hill, valley, and moun tain top. Reconstruction and relief, and the settlement of the vexed questions of the day, is taking hold of the minds of the people, and they will give a good account of their conclusions on Monday, the 20th instant- Rally then to the polls next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, all of you who desire peace, law, order, aud all the concomitants of good government. Rally then men, to tho polls, every whore —let no excuse keep you away. “Conic, Rest In thii Bo«oiu.” Our special reporter informs us that a very interesting lack of unanimity prevailed among the Obstructionists at the wigwam on Ellis street, Tuesday night, when they met to nominate County offices to “wipe out the Radicals.” In fact, the occasion was one ol more thau Ordinary interest—and •vett tho parliamentary acumen of the weighty Ex-Mayor who filled the chair, failed *o impress upon the gentlemen present the desirableness of the sentiment of the sweet Singer of Grace—‘'Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together iu unity.” Hence no nominations for County officers appeared the next morn ing in the Ku Ivktx organs. A Ilis Trade. Chicago has cut St. Louis oat of the “mountain trade,” which was worth eight millions last year. We always knew that Chicago was a great place, and St. Louis also, but if they have been trading in such small things as “moun tains,” we are like tho Queen of Sheba — not the half has been told us. We have heard of “pocket saw mills,” and “patent buck action hen persuaders,” and the like, as articles of traffic—but “mountains” passeth our knowledge. And then tho big amount stated ! Well, “big things” require big amounts of money, of course, and all we want to know is, are elephants merchant able in Chicago ? Bat, perhaps “mountain trade” means trade iti “mountain dew”— vulgarly called whiskey. 'S'Sic Great Contest. No man should bn neutral in this great contest. All the issues of the Union party arc at stake, and if Mr. Gordon is elected under the circumstances, and surrounded as he will be by the desperate and reckless of the Tory party, then it is clear to every reasonable mind that new troubles are in reserve for our people. The Unionists of Georgia must stand together as a unit in this contest. Let what will come, we must act together; we must watch over and guard the sacred flame that burns in our temple of liberties. Bum.ock and the Constitution! let these words bo inscribed upon our banners and ballots. From the mountains and the val leys, borne on every breeze, comes the good tidings that our people are united in coun cil and action, determined to preserve our liberties and the Union too. Georgians, everywhere, are rallying with equal zeal and unanimity to the support of the Republican candidate for Governor, and the principles ho represents—principles upon which de pend the welfare and perpetuity of our institutions. As the time approaches, our pulse beats higher and warmer, and our confidence grows stronger and stronger that our noble old State is on the eve of restoration. Excerpts. “Bullock is a carpet bagger —Bullock is an Express Agent—Bullock can neither speak nor write—is unfit for Governor.” — Tory Democratic Papers and Speakers. Col. Bullock is a gentleman by nature, and a true man by daily practice—self made, and'with an indomitable perseverance, unequalled by few. Ilia every interest is identified with the State of Georgia; he is one of the people, and by a very large majority of them will lie be endorsed no*t week, showing the confidence and trust re posed in him by the citizens of Georgia. These things, known and read of all men, are what causes the howls and gnashing of teeth of the Tory press and sturapisti of the State. J list here let us quote from the Charlotte (N. C.) Republican the lollowing conclusion of an article 'upon Gov. Holden, which we consider applicable to this me ildian : When Gov. Wise was once running f«r the Gubernatorial chair ol Virginia, and haranguing the people front the stump, some ill bred person in the crowd rudely inter rupted him with sonic low flung remark, at which the Governor suddenly stopped, draw ing himself up to the full stature of his manly form, and flashing his eagle eye upon the rowdy, and exclaimed : “Young man, 1 shall bo elected Governor, and one of the first things to attract my official notice will be a petition from some worthy friend us yours to keep your head out of a halter. Oh, be sure, 1 will not forget you !” Let us adopt the now Constitution, and the day will forever have passed away when a man, otherwise gifted and noble, shall be banned and despised because of his humble origin. Our Platform. 1. The restoration of power to the people. 2. The restriction of the veto within legitimate limits. 3. The restoration of our State to its true, safe and legitimate purposes. 4. The rescue of the Government from the grasp of demagogues. ft. Retrenchment of extravagant expendi tures. 6. Tho assumption of tho Constitution as the platform of our political faith, 7 A return to the old and safe paths of honesty, sincerity, patriotism and public virtue. With this declaration of principles, the friends of Pullout aud Restoration go before the people. Bow lie Fell. A good story is told of Hill, at one of h’a List ravings in Southwest Georgia. Ben was closing his speech, when he said he did not bclievo there was a Republican present, if there was he wanted him to show himself. Just then ati old gentleman rose up in the crowd and said he was a Republican. “Ah !’, says Hill, “how do you feel, my friend? just let the crowd know how a Republican feels after hearing one of my constitutional arguments?” “Well," said the old gent, “Mr. Hill, I feel just like a grain of good wheat surrounded by night soil,” (but he used a different word). "Tlic Work Goes Bravely On.” From the heart of our Bullock, upon the altar of patriotism, a live coal of true allegi ance to the Union has kindled every heart- The work goes bravely ou. The fire is spreading. Far above the clamor of politi ticians, above the din of scramblers for office, tho people hear the clarion voice—“With malice toward none, with charity to all, looking only to the glory, peace and pros perity of our noble State, I will execute the Constitution and the laws at every hazard and at every cost.” Shall we, can we fail ? Let the voice of free Georgians rend the air with the shout, “No, never!” Push forward tho column. itiosrnpliical. In a column aud a half biographical sketch of Mr. Gordon, and anti-Constitution candidate for Governor, which appeared in yesterday’s Chronicle, his fitness for the responsible position to which he aspires is set forth by the historian, thusly : “A great uncle, a Captain Gordon, especially distin tinguished himself in the Revolutionary war, in a charge at the battle of King’* Mountain, by seizing a British officer and carrying him off successfully adowu the mountain side,” and “Captain Wiley Gor don, an uncle of the present (paroled) General Gordon, iaised a company in North Carolina to aid Texas in her war for inds' pendenee.” And if this be not # enough to make his title clear to the Executive mansion we are further informed that “at tho early age of eight years ho became profoundly im pressed by religious truths,” aud “uot long afterward he was added by baptism to the membership of the Baptist Church"—the usual method, we may add, of receiving members into that denomination of Chris tians. Paradoxical as it may appear, his biographer adds that Mr. Gordon is a lawyer, though that might be expected, as the Democratic candidates for high offices arc always lawyers. Tlic lroa-Clild Oulli. Many persons having expressed a desire to obtain a copy of the “Iron clad oath,” the taking of which is an indispensable precedent to occupying any public office, we republish it as follows: “1 , of county of and State of , do solemnly swear or affirm, that I have never voluntarily borne arms against the United States since I have been a citi zen thereof; that I have voluntarily given no aid, countenance, counsel or encourage ment to persons engaged in armed hostility thereto ; that I have neither sought nor ac cepted, nor attempted to exercise the func tions of any office whatever, under any authority or pretended authority, in hostility to the United States ; that I have not yield ed a voluntary support to any pretended government, authority, power or constitu tion, within the United States, hostile or inimical thereto. And Ido further swear, or affirm that, to the best of my knowledge and ability, I will support and defend the Constitution of the United Slates against ail enemies, foreign and domestic ; that I will bear true allegiance to the same ; that I take this obligation freely without any men tal reservation or purpose of evasion ; and that 1 will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God, Registration. We publish below instructions from Col. E. Hulbert, Superintendent Registration for Georgia. We have been told by several that threats of discharge have been made against them if they voted the Republican ticket. We hope the colored men have risked every such attempt to intimidate them, and will promptly report the names of all parties who have stooped to this iow, mean, despicable and unmanly subterfuge to deter any one from exercising the rights given them to register and vote !

BACON.—Wc quote no chango in prices from yesterday, but theie is a prospoct of receding prices. [From the Circular ol Wm. liryco «fc Cos. New York Colton Review'. New York, April 10, 1868. Tho roceipts in this country continue to be watched with anxiety, although they have ceased to be of primary importance. Tho largo increase reported by telegraph this week is, beyond a doubt, made at the oxpense of tho interior towns, where the stocks are dwindling to an alinostjinsig nificant amount. This theory of receipts seems generally accepted, and we do not think a very marked decrease for tho last week in April would have much effect on prices. Every bale will be pushed forward on a basis of 30c., and everybody expects it. On this account, then, wo do net think our receipts will havo much effect in ad vancing prices for the rest of the season. In regard to next crop wc hear most favora ble tidings ; the negroes are workiug well and tho season so far has not been unfavorable ; the general accounts are that as much cotton will be planted as last 3’car. That present prices arc an immenso stimulus is undeniable, yet we would call tho attention of our planter friends to the fact that present prices are as well appreciated in foreign countries as in America, and that a large increase in production must be anticipated next season; bearing this in mind we would urge on every planter to raise a little more corn than actually required, and not bo obliged to sell cotton next Fall in order to buy Western corn ; for tho experience of the past three years has proved beyond a doubt that with free labor cotton farms cannot be productive where cotton is raised at tho expense of corn Manchester must find *omo point at which cotton will not bo consumed at the present rate, and that point must bo discovered right speedily or the available stock* in Liverpool and afloat therefor will pass entirely into speculative hands, which can put prices whore they please and cause an era of wild excitement which must eventuate, as all similar movements have, in widespread disaster. Statistically, nothing can be stronger than tho present position of cotton. The total visible supply for Liverpool to last cable dates was in round numbers 736,000 bales. Suppose that 400,600 bales additional are received between now and August 10 (some seventeen weeks) —this would afford a supply of 1,136,000 bales ; the average takings for con sumption and export this year have been 72,000 bales weekly. It is palpable that this supply would be 68,000 bales less than what was wanted, even if the 400,000 bales were dis covered. [Advertisement.!
