’HIE IRISH R EVO I. UTION-
There is a perfect revolution among the
Irish people at the North. That race now
begins to find out that a people that needs
liberty and deserve it, should favor the
party of liberty. The sons of the Emerald
Isle have heretofore stuck with wonderful
adhesiveness to the Democratic party. So
tenacious has been this support, the Demo
cratic leaders had come to believe that
they owned the entire race. They have
been known to boast that an American
Irishman loved the Democratic party bet
ter than he did old Ireland. The studied
mistreatment of the race for the past few
years, and particularly since the Fenian
movement was inaugurated, has aroused
the honest indignation in the hearts of
thousands, and they boldly proclaim their
preference for the soldier, Quart, rather
than the “Artful Dodger,” Seymour. The
feeling is Incoming general throughout the
North, no longer to lie used but to be
abused by the leaders of the Democracy.
HON. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
We are not sorry that this distinguished
scion of old Puritan stock has been in
vited to address the Augusta Democracy.
We shall be more than pleased if he ac
cepts the invitation ; for we know be can.
not make a single vote for Seymour and
Blair, and have hopes that he may be
able to modify the asperities of the Demo
cratic party, and thus perforin a real scr.
vice to the country. We know a Massa
chusetts man like Mr. Adams cannot ap.
prove the mob spirit ot the Democracy,
and that he will take occasion to say so.
In this connection we publish the follow
ing extract from a late speech of Mr.
Adams. In referring to General Grant he
said :
Take the candidates, fur instance, who repre
sent the conflicting ideas of pirblio duty in this
election. I have seen General Grant stigma
tiled as a bad General, an incompetent man, and
a confirmed drunkard. I bare not the honor of
, j his acquaintance, bnt when I am told he is no
[ soldier, I can only reply “Donolson.” When
you say he is a dolt iny heart responds, “Vicks
burg." And whch I hear of his intemperance I
can only quote Mr. Lincoln, and wish ho had
more gcfierali in the war who knew his tippie.
No, gentlemen, be finished the war, and that
is enough to entitle him to my respect and ad
miration. ..
Gek. McClellan., The Democratic
journals are floviatiug muchly because Gen.
MvCi.bi.lan bus written a letter supporting
Seymour. What else was to have been ex
pected ? In J 864, this same McClellan was
the choice of every rebel in the land for
President, against Abrauam Lincoln, and
against the. further prosecution of the war
for the Union- It is but natural that the
General should now reciprocate by support
ing the candidates of a new revolution.
About Petticoats.—A Columbus paper
is continually ©ailing some citizen of Co
lumbus “ pettieoat,” alleging that he
donned female apparel to escape military
duty. Respect for ex-l’resident Davis
should suggest to tlte editor that it is
nothing but charity to bis own friend to
keep silence with reference to all person:
wearing petticoats.
S»or Cbowinu.—The Republicans car
ried a large majority of the municipal
elections the other day. Yet the Demo
cratic papers are claiming it as a victory,
and then go to work to show how it is -a
victory. Victories need no explanation They
speak for themselves.
- - -
Got his Back up.—“ My Maryland” has
got his back up. He advises the people of
the States of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas
to hold a Presidential election, in opposition
to all law, and in defiance of the military
power of the Government. do in, “My
Maryland.”
Imposing Masonic Ceremony,—The ct>r
ner-stone of the new State House, at Spring
field, Illinois, was laid on the Ith instant,
under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity,
with imposing ceremonies. Twenty-five
thousand people were present ; a procession
marched to die ground, consisting of tha
Board of State Commissioners, the city
officers and Council of Springfield, the
County Supervisors. State officers, Judges,
officers of the Federal Courts, Senators and
Representatives in Congress, mewltcrs pf
the Legislature, fire companies. Masons,
Knights Templar, and a ktrge <-/n»eonr e of •
citiieua. General Gwaxr Was also present,
and occupied a prominent place. '
COMING RIGHT.
All right-thinking men, everywhere, will
applaud the recent address of the Demo
cratic State Committee of Alabama, in
which the following advice is given to the
white men of that State:
Wo adviee our people to accord to the freed
men al! the rights anil privileges which the
present laws secure to them. Withhold from
them no right to which they are entitled. Let
them not bo obstructed in the exercise of any
privilege which the laws give them. Under our
present laws they are entitled to ilie right of
suffrage. Let them enjoy it freely, voluntarily,
and without molestation.
This is the doctrine which we have
battled for, anti for which wc have been
denounced by so-called Democrats of
Georgia. This is the doctrine we stand
to to-day. Had the prudent counsels
of the Alabama Address been followed
everywhere in the South, instead of those
of such besotted disorganizers as Toombs,
Cobb anti Cowart, there would now
exist a very different state of feeling at the
South, and the result of the coming elec
tions would have been more in accordance
with the wishes of the Democracy. We
hail this admission on the part of the
Alabama Democratic State Committee as
evidence of their determination henceforth
to pursue a more liberal and just policy,
not only toward freedmen, but citizens of
every class.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Office of City Superintendent |
Richmond Co. Public Schools, !■
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 1, 1808. J
To the Honorable Board of Education
Gentlemen : The several County Public
Schools in this city, were kept in successful
operation until August Ist, ultimo, when a
vacation of six weeks was taken. The ex
ercises of the Schools were resumed on the
second Monday (14th) in September, ult.
It will be remarked that the whole num
ber of pupils enrolled and the average daily
attendance thereof are smaller than during
the preceding quarter. This is mainly the
result of Providential cause.
In former reports the increased efficiency
of the Schools and the encouraging progress
made by the pupils, were carefully noted.
Nothing remains to be said, further than
to record the fact that the same promising
signs present themselves for our encourage
ment. Such is the interest felt by the chil
dren in the Schools that numbers of them
denied themselves the privileges of the ap
pointed vacation, and accepted the kindly
proffer of their teachers to meet them daily
in the Class-room, to the end that every
moment of time might be profitably em
ployed.
For instructions imparted by teachers
during the holidays no charge will, of
course, be made to the county.
* * -x- «• *
RECAPITULATION.
Whole number of Boys and Girls
enrolled 773
Average daily attendance 195
When 1 entered upon the duties of the
city Superintendent, found the Schools in a
woful condition as to text-books and regu
larity in attendance of the pupils. Truancy
was prevalent to a discouraging extent, and
there was a lamentable want of that de
gree of enthusiasm which is so essential to
success iu all temporal affairs.
To rid the schools of the first great evil
—truancy—and to supply the last-men
tioned desideratum, was a task to which I
immediately and heartily addressed myself,
with what degree of success, as to the
latter, the Board of Education may decide
from what has already been said in re
ference to the action of teachers and
pupils during vacation; and as to the
former, from the announcement that from
April Ist, ult., to August Ist, ult.. there was
not a single instance of truancy.
I regard this a great achievement, indeed,
and the Board of Education is chiefly in
debted to our teachers for it.
Through the action of the Hoard of
Education, the schools were soon supplied
with a uniform series of unexceptionable
text books.
The increase in the average daily at
tendance of pupils equals fully five per
cent, each quarter. During the quarter,
ending April Ist, ult., the per centagc of
the whole number enrolled in actual daily
attendance was 55; July Ist, ult., 60;
October Ist, inst, 65.
These facts must needs be gratifying to
the friends of free public instruction in this
city, and will, I hope, serve to increase the
interest they fed in, and the sympathy
they have for, these schools. Such friends
can contribute not a little to the advance
ment of the same by occasionally visiting
them. The major part of our people are
forced — nolens volens -to look to the pulflic
schools for tho education of their children.
It behooves them, therefore, to use all
available means to elevate the standard of
the same—to make them more and more
efficient.
I am surprised and delighted when 1 think
over the history of those schools; for, while
there is room for improvement, they are to
day more worthy to be called schools than
they were eight months ago. And notwith
standing all this, the teachers have been
continually in a “straight betwixt two.” To
attend faithfully to the duties of their schools,
with the wants of family, rental of dwelling
and school-house pust due, pressing upon
them, and no prospect, under the operations
of the laws now of force, of collecting their
salaries until the expiration of the scholastic
year, requires religious devotion to their
particular vocation.
SCHOOL-CHARTS.
I respectfully recommend the purchase,
by the Board of Education, as soon as the
requisite funds are in hand, of a sufficient
number of approved school-charts, so that
the “wor t-method” may be introduced into
the different schools for the benefit of pri
mary pupils.
FUEL.
In view of the early approach of Winter,
the attention of the Board is invited to a
consideration us this question : What pro
rision shall be made ibrsupplying the Public
Schools with wood t
Teachers are less able now than ever be
fore, to minister to the comfort of their pupils,
iu this particular.
COLORED SCHOOLS.
The exercises of the Colored Schools, un
der the care of the Board, were suspended
on the Ist of July, uh., and have not yet
been resumed.
THE CITY SUrEI’.INTENDBNI Y.
Some weeks since, 1 tendered my resigna
tion of the ofliec of City Superintendent of
Ricbmoud County Public Schools, to take
effect this day. The reasons which induced
mo to tender my resignation will be assigned
in the conclusion of this report. My object
in referring to it here is In urge upon your
Honorable Board the importance of immedi
ately filling the office with a competent per
son. I believo that it will provu detrimental
to tha highest interest of our now flourishing ,
School*, to allow the Sitpcrmtendeiicy to <
remain vacant., even during the remainder i
ot the present year. Appoint a good, earnest
mini to the position, and the Schools will ‘
Continne to ini]nx»vc. -
WHAT SHALL BE DONE ? l
What ought to be done, is very fvidmit. 1
Januarv, 1569, akeulil witness the J’.oaol of
EdWa tion reorganizing the Public SehiHils, i
in tbi-j ehy at host, oh a graded basis : with
salaried teachers. Can this be done, and if
so, how ? I answer, the Schools can be
easily graded, and the salary of each teacher
can bo fixed iu the beginning of the year
and paid quarterly, if the proper authorities
will borrow, on the credit of the country,
$15,000 or $20,000, for one year. How the
indcbtmluess thus incurred could be liqui
dated, every thoughtful mind will at once
decide.
TKACIIEItS.
The day is near at hand when teachers’
peculiarities will be patiently studied, the
preference given to the “called” instead of
the “uncalled,” and the great work of teach
ing oe recognized to be w hat it really is—a
science.
Teachers are born, not made. In the
language of the New York Teacher: “As
certainly as that a mini or a woman must be
bom with the faculty of eloquence, or be
forever incapable of Lecotning eloquent by
training, so must a man or woman be born
with the faculty ot’ teaching, or be forever
incapable of becoming a genuine teacher."
“Called” teachers arc universally pro
gressive. They are ever on the alert for the
truth. Such teachers wi l always, if possi
ble, ko.-p themselves supplied with the works
of leading educators, and first-class educa
tional monthlies.
To teachers of Public Schools in Augusta
f would rscoinmend a carefol perusal of
“Page's Theory and Practice of Teaching.”
Tho “American Educational Monthly,” pub
lished by Messrs. J. W. Schermerhorn & Co.,
New York, will be found to be aninvaluable
companion. These publications are calcu
lated to excite in teachers a desire to look
deeper into the beauties of this greatscience,
and are profitable for all things pertaining to
our high vocation.
CONCLUSION.
Mr. Joseph T. Derry, the former Princi
pal, having, in view of a better position, de
clined a reflection, I became the only and
successful candidate for the Principalship of
the Houghton Institute. Haring determined
to try to introduce into the Institute a graded
system of instruction, my presence there at
all times will be absolutely necessary. I
have thought it best, therefore, to resign the
City Buperinteiidency of Public Schools. I
am loathe to retire from the office at this
time, but circumstances are controlling in
the premises.
By essaying zealously to discharge the
duties of the Supcrintendeucy, I trust I have
exhibited a due appreciation of the honor
conferred on me by your Honorable Board ;
and that, at the same time, I have satisfac
torily demonstrated to teachers and pupils
that the interest I have felt, and still feel, in
them is sincere, and far too deep to find
utterance in the most expressive language.
Born ansi reared in Augusta, I love her
every interest, but none more fervently than
that of her Public Schools. I am persuaded
that, if our people will but recognize and
act upon tho importance of sustaining these
Schools, the day will not be long coming in
which we shall witness the inauguration and
establishment of a thorough system of
graded Public Schools not only in Augusta,
but in every county in this great State

GES. GRANT BY A
CLERGYMAN.
Rev. It. P. Stebbins, D. D., in a letter to
the Monthly Religious Magazine, giving his
experience of “ Six Months in Washing
ton.” thus alludes to Gen. Grant:
Os the modest, retired, unassuming men
which wc may chance to meet in Washing
ion General Grant is the chief. He hates
parade as he hates hypocrisy. He loves
frankness as he loves life. He is too in
different about bis ordinary dress and ap
pearance ; a little more regard to bis attire
would lie better. In any gathering of a
hundred men he would be th* last who
would be selected by a stranger ns the
favorite of a nation, the great captain of
the age. lie is easy in his manners, and
ready and free in conversation, ilia voice
is very pleasant and his language good.
He indulges in no extravagant or strong
expressions. When anything is said com
plimentary of himself, he is silent—entirely
silent; ho has not even a “ thank yc” to
give in response, which makes one feel
ratlier awkward. Whether he so detests
compliments, however discreetly worded
and heartily spoken, that he will not re
. spond, or whether his modesty paralyzes his
tongue, is not clear. He evidently has no
p fund ol small talk. His conversation, when
, I saw him in his library at his house, was
. full of sound sense and free from all exag
’ geration. It was marked by a freenoss of
, criticism on men and measures which I did
, not expect from one of whoso reticence 1
, had heard so much. Yet there was no bit
teruesc of feeling manifested when he spoke
of those who had wronged him most- • He
even made excuses for the course of one
emiaent man who had been his most active
opponent, and whose friends, with or without
his knowledge and approval, had circulated
the basest slanders about the General
throughout the country. He is evidently a
man of sound practical judgment; not vis
ionary, not given even to theorizing. It
was evident that all his ideas had been
tested by practice. 1 was happily disap
pointed by my interview with him. I had
had my fears respecting his qualification for
civil life, though his wise administration of
affairs during tfm year in the seceding States
had compelled me to modify my opinion. I
leu him with confidence that he would, as
I’residint, eclipse hw fame as Genera).
Thousands of stories have been circulated
through the country respecting his private
habits which are utterly false. Whatever
may have been true at some piyiud of his
past life—of that Iknow nothing— his life
is now irreproachable. His speech is free
from the expletives wAich so dishonor maqy
of our public nsem His inveterate smoking
is his only badfiabit. It isto be hoped that he
will restrain cr abandon utterly that. But
of all the bad habits in which a public or
Drivate man may indulge in Washington,
this is the least harmful. No one, after an
interview with the General, will have any
fear that he wid be bought or sold, wheedled
or driven. Integrity and good senea are
Grant’s prime virtues ; neither bribery nor
sophistry can ‘ flank” uhese. He is a rock
which tire wave of opposition and the sun
of favor can neither move nor melt. If he
is chosen President he will honor tho chair
of Btate by filling, it with integrity, if not
with cracc

Whereas, Notwithstanding the Executive
Proclamation of September 14th, 1868, many
lawless acts have occurred in violation thereof,
whereby the lives and property of citizens have
been destroyed, the right of free speech im
paired, the performance of the duties of the
offices to which citizens have been elected, de
nied, the lives of citizens so threatened as to
cause them to abandon their homes and prop
erty ;
Abd Whereas, “The protection of persons
and property is the paramount duty of Gov
ernment, and shall be impartial and com
plete
And Whereas, The Sheriff of each county is,
by law, charged with the preservation of life,
property and peace in each county:
Jfoit, Therefore, I, Rufus B. Bullock, Gov
ernor, and Commander-in-Chiof of the Army
and Navy of the State of Georgia, and of the
Militia thereof, do hereby issue this my Procla
mation, charging «ud commanding the said
Sheriffs, and each and every other civil officer in
every county in this State, to see to it that the
lives and property of all citizens, and the peace
of the community, aie preserved; and that all
persons are protected in the free exercise of their
civil and political rights ‘and privileges. And,
further, to make known that, for failure in the
performance of duty, the said Sheriffs and other
civil officers will be hold to a strict accountability
under the law. And, to charge upon every par
son, resident in this State, that they render
prompt and willing obedience to the said Sherifls
and other civil officer, under all eircumstcmcet
whatsoever: and that they demand from said
officers protection, when threatened or disturbed
in their person or property, or with denial of
political or civil rights ; a d that, failing to
receive such protection, they report facts to this
Department.
The following extract from General Orders No.
27, dated October 8, 1868, from Headquarters,
Department of the South, is published for the
information of Civil Officers and the general pub
lic, by which it will be seen that said Civil Offi
sers will, in the performance of their duties, bo
sustained by the military power of the United

General Orders, So. 27. *
“Whereas, by au act of Congress of the United
States, approved March 2, 1865, it is made the
duty of the military authority to preserve the
peace at the polls at any election which may be
held in any of the Sial.* ; -and, whereas, this
' duty his become the more imperative, from the
; existing political excitement in the public mind,
from the recent organization of civil govern
| ment, and from the fact that Congress has, by
, statute, prohibited the organization of military
forces in the several States of this Department,
it is therefore ordered.
• “That the several District commanders will,
i as soon as practicable, on the receipt of this
> order, distribute the troops under their commands
as follows :
» 2! ■» ■ « »
! In the District of Georgia :
One company 16th Infantry, to Albany.
Ono company 16th Infantry, to Columbus.
Ono company 16th Infantry, to Macon.
Ono company 16th Infantry, to Augusta
One company 10th Infantry, to Washington,
Wilkes county.
One company 16th Infantry, to Americus.
One company (C), sth Cavalry, to Athens.
The company,at Savannah to bo reinforced,
should occasion require, by such men nt Fort
Pulaski as can be spared from the post.
« « * » *
“ Detachments, when necessary, may bo made
. to points in the vicinity of each post; but in no
case, nor on any pretext whatever, will datach-
1 ments be sent without commissioned officer, who
f will bo fully instructed by his post eem
-1 man dor.
, “The troops will bo considered as in the Hold,
and supplied with the neoesiary camp equipage;
1 the men to bo furnished with common tents if
■ practicable, and if not practicable, with shelter
r tents. Commanding officers are permitted to
hire quarters, temporarily, when it can he done
for reasonable rates ; but this will not preclude
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 Commaudcrs will instruct Post Com
manders in their duties, and the relative position
of the civil and military powers. They will
impress on Post Commanders that they are to
act in aid and co-operation, nnd in subordins lion
1 to the civil authorities ; that they are to exercise
discretion and judgment, unbiased by political
or other prejudices; that their object should bo
‘ exclusively to preserve the peace and upholdlaw
’ and order, and they must be satisfied such is the
' object of the civil officer calling on them for aid ;
J that they must in all cases, where time will
> permit, apply for instruction to superior au.-
i thority, but they must at all hazards preserve
i the peace, and not bo restrained by technical
i points, when, in their conscientious judgment,
under the rules above sot forth, it is their duty
to act. Post Commanders on being notified of
: the proposed bolding of political mootings, may
send an officer, and it necessary a detach
ment, to watci. .'he proceedings and see that the
peace is preserved.
“To the people of the several States compos
ing the Department, the Major General Com
manding appeals that they will co-operate with
him and the civil authorities in sustaining law
and order, in preserving the peace, and in avoid
ing those scenes of riot and bloodshed, and the
wanton destraction of property and life which
has already, in some instances, been enacted in
this Department. He urges abstinence from all
inflammatory and' inosndiary appeals to the
passions ; discountenancing the keeping open of
liquor shops on days of political meetings and of
election; the abstaining from carrying arms,
and asserting tho individual right of construing
laws by force of arms. No just caure is over ad
vanced by' resort to violence. Let there be
charity aud forbearance among political oppo
nents, whatever may be the result. Lot each
good citizen determine that all who, under the
I aw, have the right to the ballot shall exercise it
undisturbed. If there are disputed points of
law, let them bo referred to the Courts, and let
not mobs or political clubs, or other irresponsi
ble bodies, construe and undertake to
execute The law. This appeal is made in the
earnest hope that the Major General Command
ing can rely on tho good scuse aud correct
judgment of the mass of the people, and that he
will not bo compelled to resort to the exercise of
the power with which ho is entrusted, and which
he will most reluctantly employ. But he thinks
it bis duty to make known, that so far as the
power under his command will admit, be will
not permit the peace to be broken, and that he
will not bo restrained in the conscientious dis
charge of his duty by technicalities oflaws made
when the present anomalous condition of affairs
were neither anticipated or provided for.”
