If they will vote to take away the right of voting from themselves, the Conservatives will never bother them for their votes again. Anklets. Silver and golden anklets, for ladies, are about to become fashionable. They w ill of course, Ultimately be worn outside the stockings. Open Countenance. It is not always a mark of frankness to possess an open countenance. An alligator is a deceitful creature—and yet be presents an ‘open’ countenance when in the very act ot taking you in. Mission of tho Democratic Party. It seems that parties, as well as individu als, sometimes get crack-brained and run away with the idea that they have some divinely-appointed mission to fulfil. The Democratic leaders are very fond of talking about the ‘mission’ of tbeir party, but they seem to have vague ideas of what its mis' sionis. We know what its past mission has been—it was to inculcate the doctrine of State sovereignty and tho right of secession, which ullimaled in a rebellion and a bloody civil war. That mission is ended arid will not again be renewed. The people have had enough of it, and now have a mission of their own to fulfil. It is to wipe the influence of the Democratic party out of existence ; and its future mission is to prepare to settle down submissively at the head-waters of Salt River, where, if it does not behave itself, it will be furnished a provisional government and put under military rule, like the other Indian tribes. Sudden Death. Peter Lauksns, an old and well-known citizen of Savannah, died very suddenly on Saturday evening, from an attack of apoplexy. The deceased was a native of France, about eighty years of age, and by profession a portrait painter. Several fine pictures of many of the citizens are now in preservation which were taken by him. The deceased has lived in a somewhat iso. lated condition for several years in the old frame building on the northwest corner of Broughton and Abercorn streets, where he followed the profession of a daguerreo typist. _ Grunikleri. •Thort! arc always a number of grumblers in every political fight—men who spend much of their time in blowing up somebody else. Sometimes they growl at committees, sometimes at papers, sometimes at individ. uals; growl they must, anyhow. All right It is useful to grumble, no doubt. But then, it is still more useful to work. If every man whose soul is exercised about what somebody else somewhere else is doing or not doing will first consider whether every work that he can do has been done, all will go well. If somebody won’t work, then wprk the harder yourself If somebody is shakey, Ire faithful enough to make up the loss. If a committee is slow, put your own shoulder to the wheel. If your county, your town, or your ward is not properly organized, go at it yourself before spending any time in growling. Let each *<lo the work that lies nearest him’ with his whole heart and mind—and then, after election he will have a right to growl as much us he likes. Only, after election, we shall all feel like something besides growling! ‘Sweet arc the of Adversity.’ It is' not easy to acknowledge the full extent of the truth involved in this pro found saying. It is only after a long life of experience that the use of adversity can be understood, and even then it is difficult to sec in what consists their peculiar sweet ness. It is sometimes said that we pay sweetly lor a thing, when precisely the op. posite is meant, and the experience has been one of extreme bitterness. Only once have wc seen the sweetness and bitter ness of adver«ity combined, and then the bitterness bore a definite proportion to the sweetness. Passing up ,our Broadway on a summer afternoon—one of those days that have a solvent effect on every soluble —we ob served a party of men lowering a hogshead of molasses into a grocer’s cellar, by means of a restraining rope at eaqh end of the hogshead. As tl>e hogshead began to de scend and the full strain came upon the rope, it was too much for hempen tenacity, and the rope •at one end parted. The hogshead, restrained at one end, swung round and went down the dozen steps headforemost—if such an expression can be understood; when applied to an object all head. The going down was easy enough, and during the process the ques tion in the mind of the owner must have been, How will it end t This was soon settled, for it ended by being endless, and the fluid flowed silently, softly and sweetly over the cellar floor. We turned away, munuuiiug, uynicatiy, ’Sweet are the tiscs of adversity.* [From the Atlanta Eta. The Georgia Legislature* p ■Hy 5- % 1 ; * ’-A Atlabta, Sept 12, 1868. SENATE.

Atlanta, September 11. Indications point to a defeat ot the Dis trict Court bill, but it is supposed that some powers will be conferred on Justices of the Peace. The present bill was .per fected by the Senate Committee, and is similar in many features to the County Court bill. In the Senate, the bill to authorize the Governor to borrow money was read a second time, and will probably pass to morrow. A bill was introduced by Mr. Smith, of the 36tli, to regulate bonds of Sheriffs. Counties with three Representatives, a bond of $8,000; two Representatives, $5,000 ; and one Representative, $3,000. The Tax bill was read the first time. In the House, Barrett, from Laurens, qualified. A resolution was passed that no new matter should be introduced after Wednes day next.

Both Houses are very active, with a view to adjournment on the 25th. Nothing definite can be arrived at re garding the action of tHc Senate taking the Western and Atlantic Railroad out of the hands of the Governor. Much anxiety is manifested as to the result of the election in Maine, by both parties. The Journals of both Houses, together with other matter, were turned over to J. W. Burke, to-day. ■' • “ *■“■ Maine Election.

[second dispatch.] New York, September 14.—Reports from Maine come in slowly, but seem to bo con clusive. Nearly every town shows large Re publican gains over last year, when the ma jority was 11,000. The following gains are noticeable ; Baugor, 580 ; Lewiston, 251; Portland, 300 5 Bath, 260; Hallowell, 100; Rockhmd, 80 ; Saco, 231. Wherever there are Democratic gains, they are mostly small. There is hardly room to doubt that Cham berlain is reelected by, perhaps, 20,000. Ijater.— Seventy-six towns give Chamber l»in, 25,227 ; Pillsbury, 17,548. Last year the same towns gave Chamberlain, 18,187 ; Pillsbury, 13,993. Rupublicnn gain 3,487. Earthquake. ■ Wz-sinxeros, Sept. 14. —The Navy De partment has just received details of an earthquake. At Iriquois six hundred were drowned by the tidal wave. At Arequipa the tower of Saint Catalina Chutch was the only edifice left. Nearly all the inmates of the hospitals and prisons per ished. The course of the river is changed. Mount Mistic is discharging lava and mud. The river emits a sulphurous odor. No one dare go where the city was; people are liv ing in tents. At Pancarpbata hundreds were crushed by the falling houses. At Arica an American bark, loaded with guano, was swaliowei up. At Taeyuin one hundred and titty lives, mostly children returning from school, were lost. The town of Sbigra was swept away, only twenty of five hundred inhabitants escaping. The nitre works at Iquigue were de stroyed, Mr. Billinghurst, British Consul, was killed, and the American bark Condor lost—but the crew was saved. Loss at Iquigue, two million dollars. At the Chincha Islands, there was first a hurricane, then the earthquake and then the tidal wave. Several English vessels were very badly damaged. A Prussian bark was wrecked. Over three hundred thousand persons are without shelter. foreign Hews. Washington, September 10,—Valparaiso papers state that Humaita was delivered up by a traitorous General. It is stated that Paraguay is in a revolu tion, and Lopez is dead or a fugitive. There is a bloodless revolntion in Pffnatna. President Ponce is in prison, and Correoso has proclaimed himself President. Washington Item*. Washington, September 13.—The elec trical experiments between the Observatory here and. Moro Castle show an approximate difference of longitude between tho two points of five degrees, twenty-one minutes, eight seconds and two tenths. The elec tricity passes over the wire between here and Cuba in thirty-five hundredths of a second. The storeship Fredonia, reported de stored by an earthquake, had only SIOO,OOO worth of stores destroyed. District Attorney Courtney, who is here, visited McCulloch to-day. He returns to New York to-night. Rollins, expecting a meetiug of Congress, will not leave the city as proposed. Washington, September 14.—Neithef the State or Navy Departments have official reports of the earthquake, though its occur rence is fully confirmed by private letters. The crew of the Fredonia consisted of thir teen petty officers and fourteen hands—none of American birth. District Attorney Courtney, Solicitor Binckley, Secretary McCulloch, all visited the President to-day relative to the New York investigations. It is understood the President desires Binckley to conduct the prosecution,whereas Courtney willingly con sents to have McCulloch employ additional counsel, but insists on lending the prosecu tion, and declines acting further with Binckley. The result has not transpired. Biuckley's report to the President reflects severely on New York officials, from Court ney down. Ketcham, Collector for Alaska, has re ceived final instructions and leaves Wed nesday on the Ocean Queen. Gen. Sherman calls for another regiment of Cavalry to fight the Indians. War Department, 1 Washington City, September 11, 1868.) Alajor General George H. Ihomas, Com manding Dcpartmnnt of the Cumberland: General—Messrs. Wm. 11. Weisner, J. A. Hamilton and J. H. Agee, a committee appointed by the Legislature of Tennessee, have waited upon the President, represented to him the present condition of affairs in Tennessee, and urged him to take steps to give protection to the law-abiding citizens of that State. A copy of the joint resolution un der which the committee was appointed, and of a written communication from the com mittee to the President, are furnished here with for your information. You will please report without unnecessary delay what force, in addition to that now under your com mand, will be required to enable you to give all necessary aid to the eivil authorities of Tennessee, to execute the laws, preserve the peace, and protect the law-abiding citizens of that State. The instructions heretofore given from this Department are deemed in sufficient for your government. It was the purpose of these instructions to confer upon you all the power which the law allow, and it is the wish of the President that you exercise it within the limits of your lawful authority and full discretion iu your action to the end, and that iu any event the peace may be preserved. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. M. Schofield, Secretary of War. From Louisiana. New Orleans, Sept. 14.—The Republican torch light procession last night continued quiet throughout, and was dismissed at a late hour in good order. It numbered be tween five and six thousand. A considera ble force of military occupied the streets and vicinity, but not directly on the route of pro cession. Their presence was due to orders from Washington, though no apparent ne cessity existed. There was but little cheer ing, except at the word of command from the marshals. Several clubs cheered the Camp street Democratic journals, who, this morning, commend them for their orderly behavior. The white element were very scantily rep resented, probably not numbering over five hundred. No quorum in either House of the Legis lature yesterday ; adjourned till Monday. The Metropolitan Police Bill having finally passed, will probably receive the Governor’s signature void become a law to-morrow. • • - -- Gen. Howard. New Orleans, September 14.—General Howard delivered an address to the Colored people last night, exhorting them to indue try and sobriety, and to endeavor to over come all prejudices in order that the pre diction that free colored persons were un able to take care of themselves might not be verified. The General said nothing relating to political affairs. He was tendered a serenade by the Re publican Club, but declined a« he leaves for Mobile this afternoon.

Cincinnati, September 11, 1868. Editor Auyueta llepublican : The provision market, since my last, has shown no improvement in prices, except in Lard. Me.-a Pork hat remained steady, and Bacon and Bulk meats declined. There has, however, been a better small order demand for tho latter, at reduced prices, without, however, leading to any trade ot magnitude, and while there is a general desire to tell, there is but little disposition mani fested to force sales, and the decline established is accepted With great reluctance. It was sup posed that the incoming Cotton crop would have the effect ot stimulating prices of Bacon, by lib eral orders from the South, but this demand has not appeared yet, though it may before the close of tho month, as stocks are light in the South, and it is a general opinion that mdeh will be wanted Tho market to.day closes rather quiet, but with a better feeling generally displayed on tho part of holders. HOGS—On this subject but little is said yet, and Ibero does not soem to be the same desire to go in early this season as usual—early packing having generally proved a losing game. Some contracts have been made at 8 to 8.50 gross for early November delivery, but for later deliveries lower figures aro looked for. MESS PORK has ruled steady all tho week, at $29 for city, with a strong effort made on tho part of holders to force it a fraction above this, withdet effect. It closes steady, at $29. LARD, owing to the advance of six shillings in Livdrpool, since my last, advanced 1c per pound here, but to-day, for some unaccountable reason, it fell of ic in price, with sales at 19c, but 19}o is generally asked at the close. BULK MEATS have declined, and buyers only offer 11J, 13$, 14$, and 14f for shoulders, sides, clear rib and clear sides—all loose, hut generally bold 4 to $ higbsr, and difficult to bay at loss than asking prices. BACON also has met with a further decline. I quote shoulders at 13o; clear rib sides 16c, and clear sides 16$al7c for fresh packed ; old packed Jai less, buyers contending for a further decline.
