AUGUSTA. GA,
SATURDAY MORNING..., November 7, 1868
This is a Republic where the Will of
the People is the Law of the Land.
|U. 8. Grant.
“ Watch over the preservation of the Union
with zealous eye, and indignantly frown upon
the first dawning of every attempt to alienate
any portion of the Country from the rest, or
to enfeeble I'he sacred ties, which now link
together the various parts."— Washington’s
Farewet.t. Apdiikss.
I 9B
A SUGGESTION.
We stated a few days since that the
family of tlic late Ai.behtG. Ruffin, who
was basely assassinated on Tuesday last,
were left in straightened circumstances.
This is but too tme, and we recur to the
subject again for the purpose of suggesting
that a fund should be raised by voluntary
contribution, and judiciously invested, the
profits of which to be applied to assist in
the support of the widow and her children.
The Republican party here is poor, but we
have no doubt, every member of the
party, who has employment, will give at
least five dollars. This they owe to the
family of their martyred comrade. Will
not our Democratic friends act liberally in
the matter? Now that he is dead, all they
can do will be to provide for his widow
and his orphan children.
This would be a Christian act, and,
we believe, with proper efforts, the sum
we have suggested can be raised. We
take the liberty of suggesting the names
of Iris Excellency, Governor IL I>. Bul
lock, Hou. Foster Blodgett, and Hon.
Benj. Conley, as a committee on the part
of the Republicans to solicit contributions
for this laudable object. We suggest the
name of Governor Bullock on this com
mittee, although he will probably not be
in the city, though he can cooperate with
the other members in laying the facts con
nected with Mr. Ruffin’s death before
charitable non-residents, and thus may be
able to obtain assistance outside the city.
It is not for us to suggest any committee
on behalf of the Democrats. We think it
probable, however, that Mr. 11. F. Russell,
and perhaps other gentlemen of that
party, will take a lively interest in this
matter. If they only will, the enterprise
may be regarded as already a success ?
What say you, gentlemen ? Will not the
city press give an encouraging word for
the effort to secure from want the widow
and the orphan ?
The Difference. Andrew Johnson
endeavored to ingratiate himself with the
Democracy by exasperating Congress and
defying, its legitimate authority. All this
injured the South—the party chiefly inter
ested. General Grant will have no quarrel
with Congress, but will use his vast influence
to modify the passions of the hour. If we
can only have peace at home, our word for
it, General Grant will be as generous n« he
is brave. The Southern people can settle
this question bv their future conduct.
What are you Suffering?—The habit
Ims become chronic of continually complain
ing of being down-toodden, oppressed, etc.
Now, if these people will bring tho question
home to themselves, they will find that they
are not suffering half as much as they
imagine. The politicians habitually make
the people believe that they are in great
distress, when everything is really moving
on as pleasantly as could be expected.
Blasphemous.—The poor worm, the
Macon Journal <!■ Messenger, blasphemously
asserts that the election of Grant is an
evidence of the wrath of God. By what
authority docs this editor so declare ?
When was he endowed with the mighty
power of interpreting the mysterious work
ings of the Divine Ruler of the universe ?
How docs he know that the election of Gen.
Grant is not one of the greatest blessings
that could be vouchsafed (not the Demo
cratic party) but the Southern people ? Wc
hope and believe that it will ultimately so
prove.
-
A Change of Leaders Necessary.—
Let the people cease to look to Ben Hill
and Bob Toombs forever hereafter. Let
them rather look to A. 11. Stephkns, Joshua
Hili., Amos T. Akeuman, and other Geor
gians of wisdom, dignity, moderation and
real patriotism.
Folly.—We assure our Democratic
friends that it is folly to longer attempt to
i resist tho resistless. There is no dishonor
in submitting to fate. Let us all unite as
friends to restore Georgia, and make her
once more powerful and great.
Bad Business—According to the Radical
papers, Mr. Akerman, Radical Elector for
the State at large, was recently refused the
hospitalities of the hotel, at Lincolnton,
whore he was attending Superior Court.
These papers say the refusal was on account
of Mr. A.’s polities.
Judge Andrews continued all of Aker
man’s cases, on accotint of thia procedure.
We regret to chronicle such occurrences.
It will not help Democracy, and, besides
all this, it is a disgrace to Georgia civiliza
tion.
The above, which we clip from the Griffin
Star, a Democratic paper, indicates a
return of reason’s sway to the Democracy.
We thank our coteniporary for its emphatic
rebuke of the outrage on Col. Akerman.
Now that the election is over, let the
asperities of the campaign be forgotten, and
let every man of each party strive for a
restoration of good feeling among the people.
We cannot afford to hate ench other, and it
is not right to attempt it.
—The apple crop in the valley of the '
Connecticut is now being gathered, and
proves much larger than was anticipated. In
the hill towns in Hampshire county, the first
quality are soiling as low as fifty cents per
bushel in the orchards. In the valley towns
the price is from $2 to $3 per barrel.
—Au intoxicated man in Buffalo was
killed, on Sunday night last, by being
pushed from a third-story window by two
abandoned women, who were also intoxi
cated. The man fell a distance of thirty
feet, striking on his head, on some stones,
killing him instantly.
A QUESTION AS TO AUTHORSHIP.
In the winter of '65, Dr. Chaves of
Newark, New Jersey, who had for some
time previous been detailed by the Gov
ernment as the professional attendant of
Jefferson Davis, published a volume
containing an account of the prison life of
that distinguished Confederate Chieftain.
The book created quite a sensation at the
time, and met with ready sale. We are
now not a little astonished to see an article
going-the rounds, credited to the Charles
ton Mercury, we believe, denying that Dr.
Crav en is the author of the book; and
claiming that honor for the late and
lamented Charles G. Tlat.pi.ne, better
known as “Mums O'Reilly." The Mercury
says Colonel 11. wrote the volume in nine
days, and that few of his facts were ob
tained from Dr. Craven.
Now, with all due deference for the
Mercury, we greatly doubt the correctness
of its story. During a somewhat extended
Northern tour in 1868, it was our good
fortune to meet Dr. Craven frequently, in
Washington, New York, and at his own
home in Newark, and we are constrained
to believe that no gentleman who ever
held much conversation with the Doctor,
and read his book, carefully, can for a
moment doubt that, whatever credit may
belong to the authorship of the work, is
justly due Dr. W. 1. Craven, and not
to Colonel Halpine, whose fame is com
plete without the aid of others. The style
of the book, and that of Dr. is so re
markably similar as to attract the atten
tion of persons coming in contact with
him. We believe that Dr. Craven wrote
the book, and we believe that it was
written more out of affectionate sympathy
for Mr. Davis than from any desire to
realize money from its sale. Certain it is,
that its publication created great sym
pathy at the North for the distinguished
prisoner, and caused a relaxation of the
hardships which he was at first sub
jected.
- . ——
Singular Scene at the Departure of a
Steamer. —As the Panama steamer was
about to sail this morning, a carriage drove
down to the landing and a young couple
got out of it. The female of the party was
very handsome and the man not bad look
ing. They had evidently made every neces
sary arrangement for departure, and a large
Saratoga trunk, containing the young
woman’s worldly goods, was carried on
board by the porters. The couple then fol
lowed, and were seen loitering in the saloon,
apparently impatient to sail. Her face was
beaming with blushes and smiles, and he
was observed to be quite anxious about
something.
When the first signal for those not passen
gers to go ashore was sounded, he suddenly
recollected that he had promised to see some
one on the wharf, and telling the young lady
he would immediately return, he rushed off
the steamer and concealed himself in’the
crowd. He wanted the cables cast off, he
wished to see the gun-plank hauled in, but
he had no desire to avail himself of the
bet.efits of his own ticket to New York.
Again the warning gong was sounded,
and as he had not yet reappeared, the
young woman in the saloon became
alarmed. Why did he not return? She
hastened to the side of the steamer and de
scried the young man making quick time
away from the landing. The entire truth
flashed on her mind. She was to have been
sent away. He did not intend to go. She
was betrayed and deserted. The plank was
unloosened and about to be taken away,
when the deserted damsel sped down it like
an arrow, and burly porters struggled in her
wake under the load of her Saratoga box.
She made the wharf, sprang into a hack, the
trunk was taken up, and in an instant she
was in hot pursuit of the false one. The
chase was exciting, and the crowd watched
it as long as they could with intense inter
est. It has not been ascertained whether
she caught him or whether the pursuit is
still going on. At all events, the steamship
company lias the price of two through tickets
without the expense of carrying the passen
gers. It is stated that the man who at
tempted to play this trick on the fair one is
well known in this city, and is a married
man. She was not his wife.

Aitles for the Southern States.—
Not only are our choice Northern varieties
unsuited to the Southern States, but it is
found that even in the West and Southwest
the majority of the best apples are of
Southern origin. We give here a select
list of varieties suited to the Southern
States, by Mr. J. Van Buren, the pomologist
who has done so much to make known new
seedlings of Southern origin, and who pre
pared the article on apples for White’s
Gardening for the South, now just re-pub
lished :
Summer Varieties.— Early Harvest, Red
June, Julien, Aromatic Carolina, Sweet
Bough, Red Astrachan, Toccoa.
Autumn Varieties. — Buckingham, Disha
roon, Myer’s Nonpareil, Autumn Wine,
Rome Beauty, Meigs, Chcstatee.
Winter Xarieties. — Summerour, Van
Buren, Mangutn, Cedar Falls, Elarkco,
Camak’s Sweet, Great Unknown, Webb’s
Winter, Mountain Belle, Gladney’s Red.
Ancient Antiquities.—The American
Consul at Laruica, Cyprus, has made, by
the nid of a peasant, an immensely valuable
discovery of Phcenicial and Greek antiqui
ties, in an ancient Greek burial place at the
village of Dali, the site of Idalium, once the
capital of the kingdom. Tho surface of the
burial place is described as from seven to
eight acres, the Greek graves being some
three feet deep, but having six or seven feet
below them a stratum of Phceniciati tombs
of stone, and oven-shaped. In these were
found vases, statuary, jewelry of gold and
silver, precious stones, coins, weapons and
armor, household and table utensils, orna
ments of various kinds, etc. etc., the whole
constituting one of the most instructive re
coveries for many a day.
A New Religious Sect.—A sect has
arisen within the whose
adherents would seem to be “Deist” pure
and simple. They acknowledge a Divine
Being, but have abolished every other dogma
and every other token and sign of religious
belief whatsoever, such as prayer, church,
saints, etc. The authorities, having tailed
in all their endeavors to bring those “fanatics
of unbelief” back into the fold of the Church,
tried “ether and more forcible means,” which
proved very successful. About fifty of the
spiritual heads of the heresy, still in prison,
however, steadfastly refuse to enter into any.
conversation with regard to their creed.
—A sad affair occurred in Owasso, Mich.,
a few days since. Two Saginaw ladies
went thither to meet their aged parents,
whom they had not seen for years. As the
cars from the East containing the old
people approached the depot, the mother
caught sight ol her daughters, and in her
eagerness to embrace them stumbled and
fell. The cars ran over her, severing her
head completely front her body.
Encourage Each Other.—lt is the true
interest of every one to encourage the mer
chants, manufacturers, mechanics and
tradesmen of his own town, says an ex
change. He who will not do so, manifests
but little regard for the prosperity of the
place where he lives. The man who inva
riably makes purchases abroad, should also
look abroad for employment or sympathy.
In order to build up and add to the size
and prosperity of any place, the citizens
thereof must support and encourage each
other. The property-holder will thus be
benefitted by the advance of the value of his
possessions ; the mechanic by the erection
and improvement of stores and dwellings,
and the laborer by the increased demand
of his services. If every one should go
abroad to make bis purchases, trade of all
kind would become very dull at home,
business would languish, men would have
to work, the grass would grow in our
streets, and only the rich would have any
money in a very short time to purchase
anything either at home or abroad.
-The boy Prince Royal of Belgium,
whoso life is despaired of, and whose suffer
ings are said to be of the most painful char
acter, has exhibited qualities that ought to
endear him to the people of whom ho may
become the ruler. His father, King Leopold,
has been so affected by the boy's sufferings
that at times he has been unable to remain
in the room. A small door behind the bed
has been made to admit the King unper
ceived. By this he enters to ascertain his
state. The child knows the peculiar sound
of the bolt being withdrawn, and that his
father is the only person who enters his
room thus. On hearing it he immediately
pretends to sleep. The King calls him in a
low voice. He makes no reply. His father,
knowing the importance of sleep to him,
goes back to his apartments more tranquil.
The child opens his eyes, and says to his
tutor, to whom he is devotedly attached, and
who never quits him, “ The King will be
satisfied now.” It is a little strange that all
the world should know of this loving strata
gem except him whom it is intended to de
ceive.
—Professor Morey, ventriloquist and
magician, performed at Farmington Settle
ment, Utah, October 2, and Session Settle
ment, 3d. The doorkeeper took, in pay
ment for admission, flour, wheat, corn, oats,
barley, eggs, butter, molasses, and dried
peaches. Flour and all kinds of grain
were received at sc. per pound, eggs at 25c.
per dozen, molasses at $2 a gallon, butter
at 250., and peaches at 15c. One man
wanted him to take a wheelbarrow of
bricks. The Professor got a two-gallon
brass kettle for two tickets.
—The question, “Shall we ever learn to
fly ?” according to the statement of a Rus
sian journalist, is about to be solved. In a
letter addressed to the Lemberg Slavo, he
mentions the invention of a machine for
navigating the air. The motive power is
steam, and the inventor estimates the at
tainable speed at eighty miles per hour.
Patents have been granted him by several
European Governments.
—Two drunk and disorderlies, male and
female respectively,"were recently locked up
in opposite cells in a New Orleans station
house. They saw each other through the
grating across the passage, and there was a
case of mutual love at first sight. Their
esteem and affection increased during their
confinement, and when they were liberated
the same magistrate who had committed
them married them.
—Felix Samuels, a lawyer of Detroit, who
was reported to have committed suicide by
taking poison, at a Hotel iu Jersey City, a
short time ago, has turned up alive and well
iu Pittsburg, Penn., and affirms that he not
only did not commit suiciie and did not
take poison, but that poison was introduced
into his system by some relative who felt
aggrieved that he should have contracted a
marriage without their knowledge and con
sent.
—“ How large did you say the Radical
national debt is ?” asked one copperhead of
another about taking the stump lor repudia
tion. “ Well, the way I figure it,” replied
the orator, “ I put down a dollar markon
the left edge of a sheet of foolscap paper.
Next to it 1 put down twenty-five in figures,
and after ’em a row of ciphers all across the
sheet. Half the people don’t know how
much it reelly foots up, and I call it any
thing up in the billions. The other half
can’t read figures, and of course believe all
1 tell cm.” “ Ob, ah 11 see.”
—The Parisians are at a loss for amuse
ment and excitement. The last sensation
is started by a well known cook, who adver
tises that a full grown ox will be roasted en
tire. On payment of a dollar, the visitors
are admitted to the kitchen, get a plate of
roast meat, and enjoy the delicious strains
of a first-class orchestra.
—A correspondent, who recently visited the
Gettysburg battle field, sends us an account
of an instructive conversation which he held
there with a well-known and intelligent
guide. “I remarked,” says the writer, “that
the supporters of Seymour and Blair ought
to come here.” “Ah,” said the guide, “they
don’t come here : they don’t like it. I have
not not taken ten Democrats over this ground,
except the Southerners who have been here
to look for tbeir friends, graves. But of Re
publicans there have been many thousands.”
