RIOT IM MITCHELL COUNTY.
The revolutionary declarations of Hill,
Toombs and Cobb, and the lawless action
df the General Assembly of Georgia, are
producing their legitimate fruits of vio
lence and bloodshed. There was a serious
riot in Mitchell county, on Saturday last,
between the revolutionists and the Repub
licans. As we always prefer to get over
the roughest and worst part of our work
first, we insert below the rebel account of
the affair, as telegraphed to the Northern
press, last night, by the Augusta Agent of
the Associated Press:
Avgusta, Ga., Sept, 21, 1868.
A fearful riot occurred at Camilla, the county
site of Mitchell county, Ga., on last Saturday.—
The following particulars were telegraphed from
Bainbridge—twenty-four miles from the scone of
the riot:
Pierce, the Republican nominee for Congress,
and Murphy, an ex-burcau agent, with about two
hundred negroes, armed and equipped, started on
Friday for Camilla, with three weeks’ rations and
boxes of new arms and accoutrements, intending
te overawe the citizens and kill the leading Dem
ocrats of the town and vicinity.
Before starting, a negro,friendly to the whites,
dispatched a negro courier to inform the citizens
of Camilla what was going on.
A deputation of throe prominent citizens met
the mob at China Cbnrcb, about five miles from
Camilla. The Governor’s prorlamntiOn, disarm
ing and forbidding armed organizations, was
read te them.
The mob paid no attention, but determined to
march on the town and kill such as they chose.
Twice more the deputation remonstrated, en
treating the negroes to come in without arms,
and they should not be molested. These efforts
were fruitless to dissuade the negroes, and the
mob marched into the town with banners flying
and drums beating, numbering nearly four hun
dred, numbers having joined on the route. The
mob halted, and clamored for the blood of a man
named Johns. Mr. Johns, in company with Dr.
Twitty, presented himself, when a hundred guns
were levelled at them. The former, being in
toxicated, Cred, and the riot commenced, tiki
mob firing at every one they could see.
The citizens, white and colored, rallied, gath
ering about fifty stand of arras. The mob was
vigorously attacked, and driven back, boating, a
hasty retreat, which spread into a panic. The
negroes were pursued five miles, leaving thirty
five killed and many wounded. The total loss,
as far as ascertained, being from seventy-five to
one hundred, in killed and wounded. Pierce
and Murphy are reportei mortally wounded.
Owing to a panic among the mob, only five
whites were severely wounded.
Colored citizens of the town are reported to
have rallied promptly with the whites in defend
ing the mob.
Their stores and munitions were captured,
amounting to three weeks' provisions, and boxes
of arms.
At last accounts Camilla was quiet.
The names of the white citizens wounded at
- Camilla are James Johns and Tom Haples, se
verely; and Robert Corcoran and the two Wil
linghams, slightly.
This extended statement boars the im
‘ press of falsehood in every line. It is
, transparently and wickedly false. In the
first place, the veracious correspondent at
, Bainbridge broadly asserts that the object
t of Captains Pierce and Murthy was to
! overawe and kill the leading Democrats of
- Camilla. Who believes this? Why should
they wish to kill the leading Democrats I
Pierce is a candidate, for Congress,- and
Murthy candidate for Elector on the
- Grant ticket, and simply went to Mitchell
1 county to make speeches in favor of the
principles of the party of which they were
’ the chosen representatives. They had a
. right to visit Camilla, and to advocate
, their cause to the best of their ability.
But the long-suffering Democrats could not
tolerate such a terrible iifft’nclion of South.
. ern rights.
The young bloods of Americus last week
threatened that if these gentlemen returned
to that delectable town they would be
welcomed with a “inrrm, even red-hot" re
ception. Camilla executed what Aiucri
cus only threatened. That is all of it.
And every Georgia Democrat will cry out,
, served them right 1 and the Northern
. Democrats will reficho the cold-blooded
sentiment. What moots it, that Pierce
and Murphy were gallant soldiers iu the
Federal army ? They were Republicans,
and had brought their principles of Union
and equality with them, and were peace
ably advocating the correctness of these
principles before a Georgia audience.
The speakers were armed, too, says this
murderous vagabond. This statement is
manifestly false. How comes it that the
poor unprotected Democrats are the
only parties uninjured tn the affair ?
The rascally correspondent informs Mr.
Walsh that the blacks were armed. If
that were bo (we believe that it is generally
admitted that the negro will fight), would
not some of the Democrats “have bit the
dust ?” We think and know so. When
all the facts are honestly investigated, and
the truth shall lie ascertained, wc have no
doubt it will appear that the Republican
candidate for Congress, and the Rcpubli.
can candidate for Elector in tbe Second
District, had made an appointment to ad
dress the people of Mitchell county on
Saturday last, and that the Ku-Klux de
formined, according to previous arrange
ment, to prevent the carrying out of their
plans. And they did prevent it, by shoot-
ing down unarmed men who had assembled
for the lawful and peaceful purpose of list
ening to speeches from the recognized
champions of their party.
The Democracy have committed this
crime against the liberties and most sacred
rights of the people; and now propose to
fo/estal publie opinion by telegraphing the
most monstrously wicked falsehoods over
the country. This news does not take us by
surprise. We expected it. The distinguished
Chairman of the State Central Committee
informed us, several days since, that he had
positive information that the Ku-Klnx had
determined neither to permit Republican
speakers to address tbe people, or the Re
publican voters to cast their ballots on the
election day. This riot has proven the cor
rcctness of his information, and the damna
ble infamy of the chief leader of a resurrected
rebellion.
Our special corresponded at Atlanta in
dicates that the vile wretch at Bainbridge
has greatly exaggerated the casualties of the
riot.
Wo have only time now to warn the pco
pie that this Nation is able to protect its.
friends, and that there can’t, nor ought to be
any peace in this country until the candi
dates of every political party shall be able,
without fear of molestation, to address the
people on public affairs. Grant will secure
to us this right, and, therefore, we are for
Grant.
SPIRIT OF THE*NE W YORK PRESS.
The New York Tribune thus explains
the manner in which the Democrats gained
their victory in Maine.:
The way the Democrats gained their
“victory” in Maine was this : The Republi
cans increased their majority from 1-1,000 to
18,000 or 20,000; made a clean sweep of
the whole State, and elected all their can
didates except about one in eight of the
members of the lower house of the Legisla
ture, and the Democrats lost the only three
counties which belonged to them last year !
The New York Times is disappointed be
caturfr the great magnateH of the South will
not come North, as they promised. It says:
Immediately after the nomination of Sey
mour, the Democratic papers promised us
that the more prominent political leaders of
the South would stump the Northern States
in his behalf. We have waited for the ap
pearance of Wade Hampton, of Admiral
Sernmes, or Gov. Wise, or Mr. Toombs, or
Gon. Forrest, or Mr. Cobb, or any of tho
other ex-Confederato Democratic politicians.
We are disappointed that they have not yet
made their appearance, and hope they may
yet favor us with a stumping visit.
The Tribune thus effectually treats tho
great miseegination bugaboo:
The World asks :
“Is the Tribune’s denial, that it favors
miscegenation, honest or a fetch
Answer— ls there be any white Demo
crat who will make affidavit that he is in
serious danger of marrying a negro, and
desires to be restrained from so doing by
law, we will consider the propriety of grant
ing him the legal protection he requires.
In the absence of such affidavit, we oppose
any legislation on the subject. Among all
the white mca and women we have known,
wo can recollect no one who ever married,
or wished to marry, a black. We remem
ber 9. dictum printed in some old Bible, that
“a man may not many his grand-mother,”
but recollect no scriptural or legal edict that
a man may not marry his nurse or his
laundress. 9n this point we have inclined
to tbe Democratic axiom that the “the host
government is that which governs least.”
What thinks the World of that proposition ?
Docs it doubt that “the world is governed
too much ?’’
An act to prevent and punish illicit con
nections between whites and blacks would
seem to be required, especially at the South ;
and we do firmly hold that, it white men
will have colored children, they ought to
marry their mothers—following the example
of that distinguished Democrat, Col. Richard
M. Johnson. Yet it seems to us natural,
advisable and wholesome, that men should
marry women of their own race, though we
do not setup our taste for an inexoraple law
to others.
The Tinies thinks Seymour has too much.
“ talkee, talkee:”
The only argument iu iqvor of Seymour is
that he can “ talkee, talkee,” us the Indians
say. He can deliver harangues by the hour,
the yard, or the dozen. He could speak
from now to the hour of his defeat in No
vember. We think we have a little 100
much of this sort of thing already in this
country, without electing a man to the Pres
idency as a reward for it.
The N«n, Democratic, thus speaks of
Blustering Bob :
An intelligent Democrat who is now
travelling in tho South writes that, “there
are moments when the devil puts an enemy
in the mouth of Mr. Robert Toombs to steal
away his brains, and unfortunately, in nine
cases out of ten, these are the moments
when he addresses a Democratic meeting.’’
We are sorry to be obliged to add, that this
alliiction from which Mr. Toombs suffers so
much is not limited to moments in its dura
tion, nor even to the occasions when he is
talking polities. In fact, the devil would
seem to have put an enemy in his mouth to
steal away his brains pretty much all the
time.
The philosopher of-the Tribune thus criti
cisosthe arithmetic of Democratic editors.
The arithmetical struggles of the Demo
cratic editors with the election returns from
Maine are perfectly tremendous, and for
ought we know may result in discoveries
which would have been worthy of Newton
or of La Place. Tbe honest men have
already consumed several thousand square
and a great many more long feet of pencils,
and by dint of ceaseless aud sturdy ciphering
have proved, Ist. That they are entirely
satisfied with the result : 2d. That it might
have been worse; 3d. That it will be a
great deal better in the Presidential elec
tion ; 4tb. That Maine is of no consequence ;
sth. That it isn’t much of a shower; 6th.
That it will be very different elsewhere;
7th. That they have done better than (hey
did eight years ago, etc., etc. Scratch away,
gentlemen 1 It’s good intellectual exercise.
If you are satisfied, we arc; and it is a.
charming thing to have both parties con
tented.
The Herald, of the 17th, speaks with the
utmost confidence ot the certainty of,
Grant carrying New York by a rousing
majority.
Take it if you Dare.-t-Wc are author
ized to bet SSOO, in sums of SIOO or up-'
wards, that General Giuxr will be elected
in November. .Baek your judgment gentle
men. We mean business.
That Little s2oo.—We still have that
little S2OO to bet on Gkani. No takers.
Come up to the lick-log, Democrats, salt
or no salt.

GOVERNOR BULLOCK'S VETO.
We publish this morning the brief but
convincing message ol llis Exaellency,
Governor Bullock, vetoing the bill incor
porating the “Notting BanWng Company”
of Macon. The only object in scclitag in
corporation seems to have been to avoid,
for its members, individual responsibility
to the amount of their fortunes, for any
losses they might sustain in conducting
their business. As the friend of the peopW,
and a sworn defender of their rights, the
Governor declines to become u party in
legalizii.g any such unfair privileges
speculators at the expense of the public,
aed proves the correctness of his course iu
an admirable and skillful manner. Read
his argument.
GOV. BULLOCK’S V ETO MESSAGE
A BANKING SCHEME RECEIVES
ITS QUIETUS.
The Governor Opposed to Granting
Unfair and Exclusive Privileges.
Executive Department,
Atlanta, Ga., September 18,1868. J
To lhe Senate—
A bill, entitled 11 An Act to incorporate
the Nutting Banking Company, in the city
of Macon.” is herewith respectfully returned,
without the approval of the Executive.
This bill is not approved, for the reasons
that there is no advantage to be derived
from it by citizens of tbe State, other than
those who are named therein.
Tho bill recites that the persons named,
and their associates and successors, “ shall
have power' to sue and to be sued, to hold
and possess any species of property, real,
personal or mixed, and to sell aud dispose
of the same at pleasure, to discount notes
and drafts, to buy and sell bills of exchange,
to receive deposits on terms agreed upon by
the parties, to make advances and loans on
properly, and to do a general business as a
bank of discount and deposit.” All these
things can be performed by the gentlemen,
or their associates, either as copartners or
individuals, under tho laws already existing ;
but by these laws, they are very properly
made responsible to the full extent of their
respective fortunes, for any obligations which
they may incur in performing the acts above
recited ; and it is now sought to limit, by
permission of the Legislature, their liability
in the performance of these acts.
If the business of receiving deposits of
monies from the public, and of loaning
money, is one from which safe profit can be
realized, it will be, as it already has been,
engaged in by a sufficient number of per
sons. to satisfy the wants of the public in
this direction, who ought not, and will not,
ask that their liabilities bo limited.
Our citizens, generally, will not be benc
fitted by the provisions of this bill, as the
amount of .money or circulating medium in
our midst will not bo increased: and yet
we are asked to confer the valuable privi
lege of organizing a co-partnership in which
tbe co partners shall only be responsible to
depositors or creditors, for twice the amount
of shares which they may see proper to sub
scribe for, or hold, in the organization.
In brief, all the privileges which this bill
seeks to convey to certain individuals arc
already enjoyed by them under the general
law, except a limitation of their responsi
bilities ; and this limitation is unwise and
impolitic to grant, as it deprives the depos
itors and creditors of the security to which
they arc legally entitled.
I am aware that it is argued that the
granting of this great privilege will tend to
induce capital to come here ; but lam un
able to see the force of the pica, or that this
desirable object will be thus obtained.
Why should capitalists who have money
to loan, and who desire to loan it ask to be
relieved of liability ?
If it is intended to receive deposits from
one class ot our citizens to bo loaued to
another class, the depositor who thus be
comes the creditor, should have all the pro
tection for his deposits that the law now
gives him in loaning his money io an indi
vidual. Rufus B. Bullock,
Governor.

YAI.LANDIGHAM DICTATING TO

Northern allies, /« keepittg him from taking

FRANK BLAIR AGAINST THE IRISH
Frank Blair, the Democratic candidate
for Vice President of the United States, is
the deadly foe of aay and every attempt >
of the Irish people to regain their lost lib- i
erties. Only a short two years ago, 'he i
made a speech on Fenianism, in which he i
cast the most insulting slurs, and offended 1
every Irish triend of the organization
throughout the country. He hopes that
no Fenian will ever again set his foot on
our shores, plainly telling them that Ameri
cans “can get along without them.” Will
the Irish citizens of Georgia support the
man that thus sneers at their noble race f
Here is an extract from Blair’s speech :
Gentlemen—l am with you, heart and soul,
and heartily say, “God bless the Finnegans.”
(A voice—“Fenians, General.”) I know what I
am talking about, and I say Fimjcgans. (Laugh
ter and contusion.) And I say that I hope to
see the cause Sourish and prosper, and shall bless
the day when Ireland is governed by Irishmen.
In accomplishing this laudable undertaking, I
will do all I can to assist you. I will place my
self, if needs be, at your head, inarch with you to
Staton Island, oversee your embarkation, will
stand on the in st elevated bluff of the coast,
and, as you raise the green emblem over the
stars and stripes, while your steamers, under
full headway, are turning their prows to the
East, I will say, Good-bye, God bless you, and
may you be successful in your undertaking.
May yon lift the British lion out of his boot.’,
and wrest from his grasp the emerald gem of the
sea; but whether or not you shall succeed in
this endeavor, may you each and all remain in
Ireland, or elsewhere, and never again set font
upon these shores ! You are wanted there, and
toe can yet along without you."
GOLDEN OPINIONS FROM ALL
SOURCES.
Governor Bullock is winning, golden
opinions from all sources, for the manly
stand which he has taken in defence of the
Constitution of the State of which he is
the chief Executive, and of the nation, of
which he is a distinguished and honorable
citizen. An intelligent gentleman writing
from Washington says:
It is a pity that the message of Gov. Bullock,
of Georgia, to the Legislature of that State, on
the expulsion of the colored members of that
body, cannot be printed in every Democratic
newspaper in the United States It is more than
an able document, and fully justifies the action
of the Republicans of Georgia in placing Gover
nor Bullock in the Gubernatorial chair of that
State. Among the closing paragraphs are tho
following, which are thought here to have boon
inspired by assurances from leading Republican
Congressmen that Georgia matters will be at
tended to when .Congress meets. They ought to
be:
“Is that a republican form of government
where a majority of the electors rules? Arc not
tho privileges of a citizen 'abridged’ by your ac
tion? Does not the Constitution of the United
States guarantee to each State a republican form
of government, and to the citizens all their privi
leges and immunities ?
Is it not the duty of Congress, by appropriate
legislation, to enforce that Constitution ?
Have we, from our past experience, any reason
to believe that Congress will fail in itd duty ?”

Leu’s Sukbesdeb.—Gen. Chamberlain,
just elected, for the third time, to the Gu
bernational Chair of Maine, was the officer
selected by General Grant to receive tho
sword of General Lee, when the Confede
racy went up in 1865.
The Washington (D. C.) Republican wants
to know “what has become of Toombs, B.
H. Hill, Forbbst, Srmmhs, aud other fire
eaters who were, as we were told a while
back, going to stump the North ? Why do
they not come? Send them along, I here
need be no difliculty on afeonnt <d funds.
Republicans will contribute liberally.’’

GEORGIA POLITICS.
Mh. Editor—There is something so su
perlatively ridiculous in our present Georgia
politics, that men of ordinary common sense
seem to be adrift, tin ! if it were not for the
truly conservative principle of Bread and
Butter, we would soon be in a most uncom
fortable state of anarchy and confusion.
The American people, made up us they
are from all the nations of the world, are
the most stupid people in this world. With
the historical experience of s’x thousand
years, they are the same degraded ignoram.
uses that God Almighty gave up 1868 years
ago as impossible to save.
What are we to do ? Bob Toombs and
Ben. Hill, the Kail-splitter and’the Tailor,
have essayed to save us, but the broad path
they have indicated t,o us leads so obviously
to infamy, degradation and destruction, that
we can not follow them ; they promise us
bread *bu ttered on both sides, if we elect
Seymdur and Blair, but as a condition wo
must eat it chained to the altar of their
damnable god, Democracy 1 A most hideous
monster 1 Only about ten per eent. white,
the balance made up of isms, schisms,
dogmas and lies.
It is a great mutal relief to turn to Grant
and Colfax, the men, the principles and the
God they represent. By all means “let us
have peace.” Pro Bono Publico.

THAT TRIANGULAR PIECE OF
STEEL.
AL. Editor— Some of your cotemporaries
seem to be dreadfully exercised with the
idea that, for the preservation of peace, a
little triangular piece of steel should be
necessary. I would like to know how these
fellows, claiming so much “gumption," as
’.heir constituents call it, manage not to flare
up, when they remember that prisons are
essential to the preservation of liberty. I
dare say some of our friends of the same
persuasion, who are emulating the zebra,
could tell them something about Political
Philosophy, and demonstrate that cracking
rocks was perfectly unconstitutional, and
that our quondam rebel friends should be
fed on sugar-plums, at the expense of U. 8.,
until they were made sweet*
