Farewell Address.
The Columbus Sun -The State Credit.
We very much deplore the malig
nancy manifested toward- Governor
Bi i.i.ock by the Columbus Ann,"in
an Article in that paper of the 6th,
on the recent visit of His Excellency
to New York, to negotiate a loan,
authorized by the Legislature. We
had hoped that, after the election, this
violent abuse of the Governor would
cease. He is the Chief Magistrate of
Georgia for four years, from the first
of next January, and it is natural that
he should desire to make his Adminis
tration a success. And while it is the
right of his political opponents to o|>-
posc his policy, it is not their right to
make suAi warfare as to injure the
credit of the State, or to degrade the
office of Governor in the eyes of the
people. Especially should the hands
of Governor Bullock be upheld in
his every effort to maintain the credit
of the State. This is no party ques
tion, but one in which all parties
should be equally interested.
The Atlanta Intelligencer having
said that it “could see no reason why
the credit of Georgia should not be
equal to that of any other State in the
Union,” the /S'«w takes the former to
account in grand style, and proceeds
to show the public why the credit of
Georgia should not be equal to that of
other States. This systematic effort to
run down the credit of Georgia is
supremely mean and unpatriotic. No
true friend of the State would lie guilty
of such conduct. The people should
at once rebuke such base partisanship.
We confess to a hearty concurrence
with our Atlanta eotemporary in its
opinion in relation to the credit ot the
State. Its entire indebtedness is not
very heavy, particularly since the
wholesale repudiation exacted by the
Sun's friend, Andrbw Johnson. The
only questions with capitalists are:
Will the interest on the bond.- be paid
punctually, and will the bonds them
selves be redeemed at maturity? Now,
what Georgian doubts that both these
questions can be answered, with truth,
in the affirmative? We are able and
willing to meet the obligations of the
State. They will always be promptly
met. No State can do more. There
fore, the credit of Georgia should be
equal to that of any other State.
Shame on the Columbus Suu tor at
tempting to make it otherwise.
Swindler Arrbhtkd. —We learn,
from the Colttmbus Suit, that a
precious scoundrel, calling hitnsclf
11. A. Gh.ubet, and claiming to bv a
special agent of the Revenue Depart
ment, came very near beating the
liquor dealers of that city out of
one thousand-dollars, as a compromise
for an alleged violation of the Revenue
laws. A timely dispatch from Wash
ington turned the tables on him—the
, liquor dealers saved their money and
1 Gilbebt went to jail. Our business
' men make a great mistake in not ob
taining, as soon as they become laws,
all acts of Congress in relation to
revenue matters, and thus be able to
protect themselves. There has been
no special agents of Internal Revenue
for some months. These Agencies
were abolished in July last. The
probability is, that this man Gilbbrt
was at one time one of these agents.
•♦ ♦ ♦
UxiiiUK.- The Columbus Suu says:
The Stale Hoad, u magnificent properly,
has been turned over to a set a thieves and
adventurers.”
If for nothing else, the Suu should
have credit- for crowding one sentence
with tts much falsehood and slander as
it is possible for it to bold. The state
ment is maliciously untrue. The ex
penses of tho Road have been mate
rially reduced since the inauguration
of Governor Bullock’s administration,
and the receipts that are mostly paid
into the State Treasury are eminently
satisfactory to the most exacting. So
economical is Colonel Hulbert’s man
agement that a bill to take from the
hands of the Governor its control
failed in the Senate without a division
of the vote.

The Fate of Anti-War Parties.
—The war of 1812 killed the old
Federal party; the Mexican war
killed the Whig party, and the late
war for the suppression of the rebel
lion killed the old Democratic party.
That party can never obtain another
victory in this country as long as they
keep up their old organization. The
Republican—the war party —will ride
the country until it, in turn, is de
feated by a party that shall spring up
on some new question. Old issues are
certain always to go against the
Deinocracv.
Awftil Calamity.
Terrible and Awful Conflagration.
Undoubtedly most of our rend
ers have lieard imperteet accounts
of the great conflagration in
this city, on the afternoon of April 3d,
1829; but few now living here, we
apprehend, have any correct idea of
the extent of the conflagration, the
loss sustained by the citizens, or the
’nwtnlness of the scene then presented.
The following—which we copy from
the Washington City National Jntelli
gewer <>f April 11, 1829 will, there
fore, be read w ith interest by old and
young:
Augusta, Ga., April 4.
Yesterday evening, between the
hours of two and three o’clock, our
citizens were aroused by the alarming
erv of fire. It wns soon discovered to
have originated in a house occupied
by a Mr. Galloway, on Ellis street,
about midway below its intersection
by Washington street. It almost si
multaneously communicated to Broad
and Green streets, on the North mid
South, and extended to Broad street,
as high up as the fire proof store of
Mr. Bignon, and down Ellis street
(destroying in its course the new
Theatre) as far as Mr. Hollmshead’s,
situated on the comer of Houston
street. It extended up Green street,
above Mr. Warren’s dwelling house,
and below as far as Dr. Anthony’s—
thence, taking the direction of Centre
street, it communicated to our beauti
ful market, which it destroyed, as well
as both sides of Centre street, until it
reached the bridge, and also all those
buildings down Bay street, to the corner
where the old Theatre formerly stood.
On the North side of Broad street, it
extended as high upas the brick build
ing occupied by,Mr. Grannis, a little
below the Bridge Bank—it then rush
ed below with appalling fury, destroy
ing in its course every building,
with the exception of those on the
first, and a part of those on the
second square below Market square,
until it reached the suburbs of the city,
in the immediate neighborhood of Mr.
Comae’s plantation.
When the fire reached the market,
no human exertions could arrest it—
the wind was S. E., and, lashed into
fury by it, the flames rushed and roar
ed through the ignited atmosphere
like the troubled ocean—all was con
fusion and dismay. The spectators of
the awful scene were only aroused
from the apathetic consternation into
which they were thrown, by the oc
casional and startling explosions of
buildings which were blown up by
some of the fire companies, with the
hope of arresting the devouring ele
ment.
Never had Augusta been visited
with so dreadful a calamity. The num
ber of houses destroyed are estimated
at from three hundred to three hun
dred and fifty- and the loss of pro
perty cannot fall short of half a mil
lion of dollars', not one third of
which, it is supposed, was insured.
The fire raged about five hours. Vari
ous reports are in circulation in rela
tion to its origin—but as every thing
at present is confusion and conjecture,
we refrain from noticing them. The
hurried details too, which we have
made, must necessarily be imperfect.
Providentially, no lives have been lost
—indeed, we have not heard ol a
single personal accident of a serious
nature.

The Ring of the True Metal.
—The following dispatch, from Hon,
Schuyler Colfax, Vice President
elect, in answer to a congratulatory
one from the editor of the Cincinnati
GkrseCfc, contains the ring of the true
metal, and indicates the firm, yet just
and generous policy of the next ad
ministration :
S South Bend, November a. m.
To Richard Smith: Thanks for the con
gratulations of your rejoicing thousands.
The mighty voice of the American people
demands peace for the Nation, and protec
tion for all its citizens, South ns well as
North, against the hostility of traitors at
home as well as enemies abroad.
Schuyler Colfax.
Register! Register!—We re
gret to hear that there is apathy
among the people in regard to register
ing. This is all wrong. Tliere is not
the slightest cause for despondency.
We have a handsome majority in the
city, which cannot be overcome. T’lien,
let every one who has not done so
register at once.
No Bitterness.—We regret to see
a disposition on the part of the
Chronicle and the Conttitutionalist
to conduct the canvass for municipal
officers with a bitterness equal to that
which characterized the Presidential
election. This is all wrong. It does
not change a vote, and produces only
the evil fruits of murder and assassi
nation.
Not Much of a Majority.—The
Democratic Press arc making great
boasts of their majority in Georgia.
They need not brag; it was not much
of a shower. On their plan of holding
an election they could have made
their majority much greater. Tho
only question is, whether elections
held in such a novel manner will be
counted ?
Mepidink Wolf, a Cheyenne chief,
who was killed a few weeks ago in
Western Kansas, had forty scalps,
which he wore for a necklMrte. All
were those of white people—some
taken from gray-headed men and
women, and some from very small
children. piece of the chtef’a own
Scalp is to tn- made into a vest chain
or one of the party who killed him.

THANK GOD.
The skies are bright. Let sounds of gladness

The throbbing heart of loyalty beats high;
For peacois won. and treason’s Jtnell

'Hie threat’ning clouds that darkened free

Have fled like masked marauders from the

And treason’s coward, blood-stained hand

Praise God for victory.
At last the land has peace—the work is done,
And brave hearts have not bled for it, in

With ballot as by bullet w on,
From Ophir’s strand to pine clad .Maine,
Thank God for victory.
Our Washington Letter.
77/c Eleelion Grant*9 majority—An Important
fact The New York Jktnocracy Eravde —Affaire
in Louiaiana—Arrival of
Washington, Nov. 4, 1868,
The Waterloo of this great nation
was yesterday fought and won; Re
publican institutions can no longer be
said to be an experiment, but an es
tablished fact. The people exercising
the highest prerogative of American
citizenship have so declared it, and so
emphatically as to leave no room for
doubts or quibbles. For had the peo
ple of the three unreconstructed States
and all their disfranchised in other
Southern States been allowed to vote
and the colored voters in all the States
excluded from the polls, Grant would
even then not only have a majority of
the electoral but a majority of the
popular vote. This is an important
fact for disaffected people everywhere
to understand, but more particularly
at the South, where the senseless cry
of electing a sectional President was
used with such potency' in 1860-1.
Amidst our rejoicing over the result
of the Presidential election there is one
cause for regret, which is, that Hoff
man is elected Governor of New York.
His name will be associated with the
infamous fraud in that State so long as
his name is remembered by a defraud
ed people. He loaned an honored
name to justify and cover up the high
est crimes ever perpetrated in con
nection with politics, solely to gratify
an almost criminal aspiration for of
fice. That his election is the direct re
sult of fraud is susceptible of proof, and
there is a possibility that this will bo
so brought home to him that his elec
tion will be set aside.
For the information of those who
do not know the facts, and have been
deceived by the great Democratic ma
jority gain in New York city, I will
state a few authenticated facts. More
than half of the voting population is
composed of foreigners; a majority of
this one-half is made up of the most
ignorant and degraded scum of Eu
rope. At a recent meeting of the
“Howard Mission,” the official report
showed that “of the 800,000 to
900,000 inhabitants of that city, more
than $500,000 of them live in cellars
and tenement houses. In the 11 th
ward there are 2,049 tenement houses,
containing 13,433 families and 61,254
persons. In this ward, yesterday,
there were cast 2,031 Republican, and
8,360 Democratic votes. In the 1 7th
ward there are 1,890 tenement houses,
containing 15,975 families, and 63,766
inhabitants. The vote yesterday stood
—Republican, 4,481; Democratic,
10,251. In the 16th and 17th wards there
is a cellar population of 4,591. The 4th
ward has tgi; tenement houses, con
taining 3,636 families, and 17,611 per
sons ; 346 live in cellars. The tene
ment house and cellar population in
this ward is packed together at the
rate of 200,000 to the square mile!”
and, says the report quoted from,
“ contains more dens of infamy than
any other spot of equal size in
America!” Only 915 votes were cast
for Grant in this ward yesterday.
In thirty-nine Election Districts,
which include “Five Points,” “Cor
lear’s Hook,” “Mackersville,” and the
“Water Street Dance House*,” and
in which (according to the Police
Books), there are 2,743 groggerics,
279 notorious brothels, 170 places
where thieves and ruffians habitually
resort, and 105 policy-shops, with
gambling and dance-houses to match,
the Republican vote is only six hun
dred and thirty-one—a District which
gave Governor Seymour, the late
Democratic candidate for President,
more majority for Governor, in 1862,
than he received majority in the
whole State.
And thus it is that the Democracy
are enabled always to control New
York city, and, too frequently, the
State—by majorities obtained in these
sinks of iniquity. These are well
attested facts. Will the Southern
Democracy be longer deceived by
such elements of strength in a par
ticular locality. Their represent'itivos
were deceived by these plague-spots
in July last. Is it a Htetter of sur
prise that 25,000. fraudulent votes were
polled in New York yesterday?
The refugees from Louisiana arc
beginning to arrive here by every
train. I have conversed, this evening,
with a Government official, who was
compelled to leave New Orleans last
Saturday night, in disguise, to escajx*
assassination at the hands of the Inno
cents. His offence was preferring
Grant to Seymour for President. He
has the names of scores of Union
men now concealed in the city, to
avoid assassination, and hundreds
have taken to the bush, or wended
their way Northward. Having kept
Republicans away from the polls by
threats and the commission of actual
violence, the election will undoubt
edly bo set aside by Congress.—
The murderers of Judge Chase
and Sheriff Pope are well known,
and when, a few days since, an at
tempt was made to arrest them, the)
openly bid the officers of the law
defiance. The property destroyed re
cently, through the agency of the
“ Innocents,” and for which the corpo
ration of New Orleans will eventually
have to pay, is estimated at over
$3,000,000. Not less than foqr hundred
Union men have been murdered during
the last ten days in New Orleans and
vicinity. No wonder it is called a
reign of terror. The elect ion of Grant
lias not taken place a day too soon.
The result of the election gives very
general satisfaction, of course, to all
Union men in this city. The De
mocracy are, of course, correspond
ingly depressed. Many of the so
called conservative office-holders have
suddenly become wonderfully friendly
to General Grant; but their admira
tion comes too late.
“A. J.” has not been seen or heard
from since the election. He has not
recovered from the shock received last
night over the telegraph wires.
Capital.
[From the New York
The Dawn of Peace.
The country may now look for that
beneficent “peace” which has been the
watchword of the Republican party
during the political campaign. Gen.
Grant could have done the party no
greater service than by giving it this
idea and this word to inscribe upon its
banners.
The turmoil of the last eight years
has become intolerable. When it was
wav in the field, the people bore it
with strong hearts and strong arms.
But when this was followed by four
years of violent political distractions,
that constantly threatened a renewal
of sanguinary strife, popular patience
got exhausted. And when, finally, the
Democratic party raised a revolu
tionary platform, from which we
could see nothing but a stormy future
and a tempest-tossed country, there
would have been justification for
despair if no means of escape had been
opened up. But the great soldier who
had formerly given us police by his
military genius, again stood forward
as the representative of peace in the
storm of political passion. The coun
try felt the power of the sacred word,
and rallied round the leader who could
give it hope.
In one respect Grant has already
given us peace. His election has
crushed out the revolutionary schemes
promulgated by the Democratic party,
and especially represented by their
candidate for the Vice-Presidency.
We will hear no more about the
forcible dispersion of the Southern
State Governments, the subversion of
the Senate, the nullification of the
laws, and the employment of military
power by the President for illegal
purposes. We shall hear no more
about the Reconstruction laws being
revolutionary, null and void. We
hive heard the last of all this. And
if such is really found to be the case,
we owe it to the election of Grant.
We may also, from this time for
ward, look for something like peace
and order hr the Southern States.
The greater part of the disorders that
now prevail there have been brought
about by the revolutionary declara
tions of the Democratic party, and
the prospects of the party’s success.
Every one must remember how the
rebellious spirit arose after the meet
ing of the New York Convention; and
every one must know by this time
that it was the encouragement given
by that Convention to the rebel ele
ment that led it into the desperate
frame of mind, whose results have
lately exhibited themselves in riot,
murder and political persecution.
Grant’s election is a warning to the
old rebel element which we have no
doubt will lie heeded. And from this
time forward we expect to hear much
less of the spirit of disorder and strife
in the Southern States.
Os course Grant’s election puts a
close to the disastrous Avar between
Congress and the Executive. It gives
us harmony between all departments
of the Government, as well as an
effective administration of all its
affairs.
We shall every day see more and
more of the peaceful effects of Grant’s
triumph. And in a short time even
those xvho opposed his election will be
heartily rejoiced at their own defeat.
