TUESDAY MORNING ~..?...AugusF 11, l»«f For r>ltl<2Sll>ElNT Os the United States: ULYSSES S. (mRAM. FOR VICE PRESIDENT: Schuyler Colfax, OF INDIANA. The present Presidential campaign in volves more momentous consequences than any previous political contest in tiro history of the country.. The people of Georgia are deeply interested in the result, and will therefore, look forward to the developments of the campaign with increasing interest. The dissemination of reliable news, and of sound constitutional views on the important issues of the day are essential to the success of the Republican party. To supply in a*measnre this need, we will mail The National Kkfublk.'an for any four mouths prior to January 1, 1869, at. the low rate of $1.50. We appeal to the old supporters of the Republican to aid us in extending its circulation. We pledge ourselves to devote all our energy and ability to the success of the great cause in which the Union Repub lican Party is embarked; and to spare neither labor nor expense in making The National Republican a useful and reliable n ewspaper.

Wisdom has clothed the freedman with the full rights of citizenship, not only because he is a friend, but because to refuse those rights would be fatal to the future peace of the country. Tiro same spiritwhich waged war in defence of the injustice of slavery, would wage war. in defence of the injustice of the disfranchisement of millions on account of color. To remit tiro freed man to whatever condition his late masters may assign him, is to concede to them a power over him for which at some coming day they will be as ready to take up arms against the national existence as ever they were. True statesmanship insists upon settling the colored man’s status by one war, instead of inviting another. The ex-slave’s children will be made powerful and dan gerous by increasing knowledge, and to safely reconstruct the Union while acqui escing in their disfranchisement is as im possible its safely to attempt to prevent the flow of the Mississippi to the ocean. It is additionally the dictate of duty to settle this question now, because the late war not only grew oiit of slavery, but made the slave a freedman, and this invested him and his posterity with the power to render the question of disfranchisement for color an endless occasion for strife. The settlement of the war is thus necessarily most incom plete without the final adjustment of the freedman’s status. The Union loving musses of the people have therefore no alternative but to maintain and carry forward the work of reconstruction, now in advanced progress, and which the Democracy insists upon undoing. The claims of the loyal white men of tiro South, who have too long been left to suffer, with the freedmen, the persecutions kindled by Johnson’s pcr fidity, still add to the .imperious necessity for a fresh national Republican victory. » Some prominent men in the South appear to be laboring under the illusion that the war is not yet over. For instance, a Con federate name Williams in addressing a so called Democratic mass meeting at Shreve port, La., the other day, pitched into the North in the following stylo : "We arraign them in the name of our own dearly beloved Confederate dead [cheers], whose bones are strewn all over the Southwest killed in battie by the atrocious cruelty of the Radical Government. [Cheers.]” Unfortunately for the argument of Mr. Williams, about as many of the rebels who fell in battle against their country were killed by bullets fired by the Democrats us by Republicans ; he proposes to make the Lost Cause triumphant in the approaching election, he does nothing but array together the mass of the patriots, Democrats as well ns Republicans, under the banner of Grant and Colfax. The cry now, as in the dark days of yore, will be: Down with the traitors, up with the stars I Rally round the flag, boys ! Rally once again I Shouting the battle cry of Freedom I Uphill Work.—The campaign, -so far, has been uphill work for the democrats. The nominations fell dead, the programme mis carried, and things look blue all around the wigwam. We see it stated that the Chair' man of the Democratic State Central Com mittee of Pennsylvania Informed a friend in Pittsburg, a few evenings ago, that it would be a hard job to carry Pennsylvania against Grant and Colfax ; and to prove it, he demonstrated that, last Fall, the democratic. Judge was elected by less than a thousand, with the democrats polling ninety-four per cent, of their whole vote, and the republicans seventy-five' per cent, or less of theirs. Figures, so far, do not tell well for the demo cratic Cause. * -r Men who have no moral character them selves, and are irresponsible for fheir own infamous acts of villainy and rascality, can afford to lie and slander and abuse gentle men. These infamous slanderous wretches deserve nothing but the eternal scorn and silent contempt of all gentlemen in this world, and the terrible indignation of a just and righteous God in the world to come. Republicans at home and abroad know how to treat the vile slanders of the rebel press. Just ns soon as the rebel press begin to pour forth their vollies of abuse on any Repub' lican, he is set down by all good and sensi-1 ble men as a gentleman. * | [Cc r respun den ec Augusta Republican. WASHINGTON LETTER. Dell Timet in Wanhington—Thi- Cominieeionthip of Internal Jtevenue—An Ail Interim to be Ap pointed— Cdlieetor for Alaska —Expiation in He Capital— An Officer Restored—Tl" Ku Klujc—Erpeiieee of the Government. Washington. August 7, 1868. Dull hardly conveys on idea of the condi tion of Washington just at this time; the hotels are all deserted —not a dozen arrivals in a day at either of the large hosieries. Large numbers of private citizens have left on their usual tour for pleasure or business, and as to Congressmen, why you can count them on the fingers of one hand. Senator Trumbull remains at the side of his dying wife, while Sumner remains here, away from his, finishing up some business pertaining to our foreign relations, and Thad. Stevens is prostrated on a sick bed. With what wonder ful tenacity the old man clings to life. Six months ago his obituary was in type, no one supposing then he could live through the late session of Congress ; but the excitement seemed to keep him up, and the moment that body took a recess, a relapse occurred, and it is doubtful if his voice is ever heard again in the Capitol. It was authoritatively stated at the White House to-day that the President had been advised by Attorney General Speed to ignore the qualification affixed to the resignation of Mr. Rollins, Commissioner of Internal Rev enue, and that his resignation had been accepted and filed with the Secretary of the Treasury, to date from the sth instant, ft is moreover stated, upon pretty high authority, that Mr. McCulloch is urging Mr. Jeffries, who was rejected by the Senate, as an ad interim appointment. It is pretty certain the President has to make an ap pointment during the recess, but as to who the individual may be is yet a matter of doubt The appointment of any one will secure the reassembling of Congress on the third Monday in September. The President has also decided to appoint a Collector for the port of Alaska, and, strange as it may appear, there is a host of applicants. The position is not likely to be ot any great value for years to conic, and what should prompt men to » residence in that inhospitable climate is beyond my com prehension. The Cabinet had a loritr session to day, when the application of the Governor of Louisiana for troops was considered for more than an hour. A Circular will be issued by the Secretary of War, covering the entire ground of the State Governments calling for troops, with the view to answer the whole in one batch. The President thinks the present force iti the Southern States sufficient to preserve the peace in any emergency lively to arise. A gas main in the crypt of the dome to to.thq capitol exploded to-day, doing consid erable damage to the surroundings. The funeral parapbanalia of President Lincoln, storedin the crypt for safety, was somewhat damaged, by fire. The prompt action of the police prevented the fire from spreading to other parts of the building. The sergeant at-arms of the Senate, with a party of ladies, left the crypt only a few minutes before the explosion. Lieut. 8. W. Barnhart, 4th U. 8. cavalry, .dismissed by courtmartial in September, 1868, was yesterday restored to his rank and position by the President, upon the ground that the original charges were groundless. Barnhart was General Custer’s Assistant Adjutant General for a long time .during the war. Evidence is daily accumulating here,' showing the evil intentions of a large body of the ex-rebels throughout the South. It is quite apparent that they are thoroughly organized, and determined to play a desper ate game to carry the Southern States in November. The evidence will belaid before Congress upon its reassembling in. Se ptember. The expenses of 'the Government for July are officially announced as $47,549,000. The Department of State has been officially advised of a large number of French citizens who desire to locate in this country, and they have been informed of the advantages of a settlement in this country. In Louisiana, during July, 4,347 acres were added to the productive area of that State under the Homestead Act of January 21, 1866. Capital. LETTER FROM ATHENS. Athens, Ga., August 4, 1868. Editor National Republican: We arrived here this morning bright and early. The “world and his wife” seems to be congregated here. “Codfish aristocracy” are spreading themselves in all sorts of ways. You could not appreciate a descrip tion so well as a veritable personal view. Tinsel, and show, and glitter, and the smallest modicum of genuine sterling char acter dot the same. Some of the big mastiffs of modern pseudo democracy, of course, are on hand. Hill, “our Benny/’ lives here, you know. The great gasome. ter, Toombs, and his confrere of other days, Howell Cobb, are waddling about as usual, rather sure because sixty year old Senato rial aspirants are nowhere ; sick of Miller, the man whom the Democratic gods at Atlanta chose to grind the mill. What these Democratic magnates may settle upon, Ido not, of course, know; but after the Constitution (Atlanta) says “they are ahead of the music,” we suppose they will rather “halt and dress.’’ While the aristocratic Democracy were ‘serouged’' into the Chapel-for commence ment exercises, and were listening to the vapidisms of the gosling speeches, another scene was commenced. A band of music was forming a procession of the colored masses in town, which marched to the Knox School Building, and for three hours there were from two to three thousand eager listeners to the speeches delWered. They hailed from Jackson, Clark, Hart, Madison, Elbert, Greene, Oglethorpe, aud other con tiguous counties. We were oti hand and took notes, but we have notfthe time to write them out fully. Suffice it to say, that a more peaceable, quiet assemblage of the same magnitude I have not seen, nor an audience wlj# Were so attentive and so appreciative of the information given to them. ImCother days, when Cobb, and Toombs, and others spoke to the “bhoys," and drilled them for so many hours into what they called Whig or Democratic prin ciples (as the case may have been), there was no such peace and quiet—no such attention, and no such decorum. Democratic whiskey, in those days, caused many a bloody nose and other disturbances. At this meeting there was none of it. For fear I might do injustice to the speakers, 1 forbear any attempt nt giving you a sketch of their remarks. I will only Bay this much—that they were plain, practical truths, uttered by all of them— truths that cannot be refuted or shaken,* and the enthusiastic crowd gave forth their sentiments by repeated cheers, for their only hope of the future, Grant and Colfax. A match game of base ball came off this evening between Gate City Club and the Club of this city, wherein the G. C.’s gave the latter a clean licking out, scoring 38 to 13. The accommodation train to night will carry off a large number of visitors, and the regular train of to morrow many more, leaving this present busy scene in a state of collapse. Your scribbler will hie to morrow towards sulphur water and blue inonntaine, and see if chills and fever cannot be driven out of him and left behind in some cove. Yours, etc., B. THE PIG OR PUP PLATFORM. The following story will be appreciated by every man who will analyze the platform of the Democratic parly, recently adopted at New York : Some years ago a gentleman lived a few miles from Louisville, Kentucky, who had a fine breed of dogs. A friend, living about five miles from him, secured the promise of a pup from him, when old enough to be taken from the mother. When the time came, the donor wrote a letter of presentation, and, causing one of his negroes to place the pup in a bag, gave him the letter, and ordered him to take the letter and pup to Mr. . The negro shouldered the bag and trudged along until he came to a grocery on the roadside, about half way to his destination, at the door of which sal a half dozen of young men, who knew the negro and his weak points. Hailing him, they asked him what he had in his bag, and where he was taking it. The negro, unsuspicious of evil, told them all about it, on which they told him to come iu and get a drink. Nothing loth, he set his bag outside of the door and went in and drank, and, whilst some of the party kept him in conversation inside, others of them stole the pup and substituted a pig in the place of it. After drinking, the negro came out and shouldered his bag, unconscious of the change, and proceeded to his destina tion. Arriving there, he sent the letter to the gentleman to whom it was directed, who, glad to have his present, gave orders to" admit the bearer. When brought into his presence ho told the negro to get him out. The negro did so; when piggy appeared, the negro, all astonishment, declared it was just as master sent it. The gentleman, thinking himself insulted, wrote a very indignant letter to the donor, and, ordering the negro to take his pig back, gave him the letter for his master. The negro again proceeded on his way, until he came to the grocery, where the same crowd still stopped. On observing him, they hailed him, to know why he was bringing back his pup: the negro told them the reason, and they again asked him in to drink, and while he was doing so they substituted the pup for the pig, After drinking, the negro went on his way with his burden, and arriving at home gave his master the gentleman’s letter. The master was astonished at its contents, and ordered the bag to be emptied, when lo and behold there was the pup ! The negro, in amaze, raised both hands, aud cried oqt, “ ’Fore God, master, he am pig or pup, just as he please.” Now, let any honest man read the plat form, and if the pig or pup platform is not the true name of it, then it will be hard to find one lor it.—Nt Louis Democrat. ♦ O ■■ IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. On the sth of July, 1859, Captain N. C, Brooks, of the Hawaiian bark Gambria, while cruising to the west northwest of the Sandwich Islands, discovered a group of islands and shoals in latituce 28 deg. 12 min. north, and longitude 177 deg. 12 min. west from Greenwich, not hitherto given on any chart. On making the discovery, Captain Brooks landed on one of the dug a well, erected a flagstaff, and of them in the name of the leaving notice to that effect. On the 13th of May, 1867, Allen McLane, Esq., President of the Pacific Mail Steam ship Company, addressed a letter to the Sec retary of the Navy, calling the attention of the Navy Department to “the great import ance in special connection with the China Mail Steamship line, of obtaining, at the earliest practicable moment, full and com plete information touching the chain of small islands in’ the North Pacific ocean, stretching from the Hawaiian group in a general west northwesterly direction.” Mr. McLane particularly mentioned one of these groups, wliich he designated as Brooks’ Island, as possibly destined to “prove of early importance as a coaling station” for that Company’s China steamships, and for United States vessels cruising in those waters, and requested that a full survey might be made of these islands by a trust worthy vessel. On the 28th of May, 1867, the Department issued an order, with the requisite instruc tions, to Rear Admiral 11. K. Thatcher, commanding the North Pacific squadron, to detail the iMckawanna or some other suit able vessel, to search for the island above referred to, aud, having found it, to take possession of it in’the name of the United States, and to make an accurate and com plete of it as practicable. Accord ingly the Lackawanna, Captain William Reynolds, was sent on the expedition ; and under date ol the 30th September, 1867, Capt. Reynolds reported that he took formal possession of Brooks Island and reefs for the U nited States ou the 28th of August previous. The report of the surveys made by Captain Reynolds substantially confirms Captain Brooks’ original statement: He describes the two islands designated as Brooks Island as being long and low, and chiefly formed of coral shells and sand. The vegetation of the island consists entirely of shrubs, herbs,' and coarec grasses ; none of the shrubs arc over three to five feet high. On both islands several wells were dug, and water found at depths of from four to seven feet. Surgeon Ken nedy tested the water taken from these as far as the materials he bad at hand per mitted. When first collected the specimens were so full of sand and organic impuri ties in a state of suspension that it was necessary to filter them. After filtration, tested by different reagents, they were found to be hard, free from organic impu rities in solution. There was every evi dence that wells, properly sunk to a good depth, would afford a good supply of pota ble water. Immense numbers of sea birds are constantly hovering over nnd alighting upon these islands. The lagoon is full of fish, seal, and turtle. The seal is the common hair seal, and is not of much commercial importance. The fish belong principally to the mullet, mackerel, and perch families. Captain Reynolds describes the harbor as formed very much like that of Honolulu, as rather more roomy and. as safe, but with not quite the same depth of water on its bar ; which, however, appeared to be available for vessels drawing less than eighteen feet. During the seventeen daya that the Lacka wanna remained at the Islands, the lowest point which the thermometer reached was <2, while the highest was 89 degrees. The greatest rise and fall of the tide observed during the neap tides was eighteen inches, the lowest fifteen inches. The circumference of the reef inclosing the Islands is forty-two miles. Its shape is irregular; its diameter, from North to South, nine aud a half miles; from East to West, siqteea miles. The name of "Midway Islands” has been adopted by the Navy Department for this group. • ■*«-*-. . The Wade Hampton, C-obb, and Toombs speeches in favor <lf Seymour and Blau: arc having the same effect upon the Demo cratic party that the guns of Sumter had—a dissolving effect I “Carpet Baggers.” —Some newspapers and politicians are seeking to make " carpet baggers” a term of reproach, as applied to the Representatives and Senators sent to Congress from the Southern or reconstructed States. We cafi see no valid reason why a man whb has indentified himself with a State where he resides, whether his residence there has been long or short, should not be elected to Congress. Indeed, it often happens that these men called adventurers, or “carpet baggers” are the very best men ot the community. They are the pioneers of freedom and good government, and in most instances are the men who build up States and establish comnitinwealtbs. We cannot see, viewing the question in the light of true Democracy and in connec tion with the genius of our institutions, what better right a man born on the soil of a State has to represent it than the man who has resided there one or two years. The latter individual may have as much or even more at stake than the former. He may be better able to represent all the interests of his adopted Stale and of the nation than he who “is native and to the manner born.” Carpet bagger, therefore, is not a term of reproach.—• Washington liepublican. It is rumored among the upper circles that the gentleman nominated for Vice President by the late Democratic Convention has entered into a matrimonial engagement with a lady whose family can boast of a very ancient date, even contemporary with Cain and Abel, and can be traced down through succeeding ages. This alliance was ap proved by said Convention, including the Presidential nominee, who is to give away the bride. Her name is already known, which is Ann R. Key. The banns are to be published next November, and if no delay is Grant-ed, the marriage will take place on the 4th March thereafter. The attendants on the bride will be: Miss-Construction, Miss- Chief, Miss Rule, and probably Miss Ery. Guests invited: Wade Hampton, Governor Wise, General Forrest, Jeff. Davis, Pendle ton, Vallandigham, and “Brick ’ Pomeroy. «-*>• ■ A Tennessee Mystery. —A singular story was copied, some days since, from the Nash ville Gazelle, of a discovery of a large cave opening on the river bank near Ctfrthage, in that State, by a party who rescued from it a. solitary man, who, owing to long confine ment in the cave, was at the point of death, and too feeble to give any account of him self. A letter has since appeared in the Gazelle, which states that the man taken from the cave has now somewhat recovered ; that he gives his name as Erastus Lenelen ; says that he is a native of Pittsburg, Penn., and is now in the thirty-eighth year of his age. He further says that for four months past he has been detained a prisoner in the cave by parties with whom he came to that section bf country from some point in Penn sylvania. When questioned as to the names of these parties, their occupation, and the cause of their cruel treatment, he replied that he had the strongest possible reasons for present secrecy, but would, in proper time, divulge the whole affair.
