V (aril from the Opposing Candi
dates.
We give below a car l from the op
i,osii)Lj candidates for the Mayoralty of
this city, and would most respectfully
unite with them in the hope that each
and all of our citizens will so demean
themselves as to preclude the possi
bility of a collision at the polls or else
where in the city, in consequence of
an honest difference of opinion. Espe
cially do we commend their recom
mendation, “ that all legal voters go
■[■’ii'ily to the polls, deposit their hal-
ami return to their daily avoca
lions." There exists no reason why,
more than at any previous election,
anv disturbance should be anticipated
m Wednesday’ next; but none cun
occur, if the wise and prudent coun
sels of the leading candidates of the
opposing parlies are heeded by’ the
friends of each. Let every citizen
remember that the reputation of the
<i(y is at stake, and let all remain
sober, calm, prudent, and, if need be,
forbearing:
TO THE VOTERS OF AUGUSTA.
Augusta. November 30, 1868.
We. the undersigned, candidates for Mayor
c the ensuing election, desiring that peace
uid quiet may prevail on Wednesday next,
i ’ most earnestly advise and exhort our
-pectivc friends to abstain from all violence
>n that day. We would further recommend
im I all legal voters go quietly to the Polls,
(■posit, their ballots, and return to their daily
vocations. We arc of opinion if the above
ourse is adopted, by all our friends, that no
disturbance will occur.
Very Respectfully,
FOSTER BLODGETT,

The gallant and companionable sons
of “ Auld Scotia” and their descen
dants resident in Savannah, as was
their wont, annually, for some forty
fix years before “ the cruel war”
broke up their glorious reunions, cele
brated the anniversary’ of St. Andrew
in a becoming maimer last night.
Among the officers of the Society’ pres
ent were Messrs. John Cunningham,
President; Robert Lachlison and
William Rogers, Vice Presidents;
Alexander Irving and James M. Sel
kirk, Stewards. The officers of the
Hibernian and Irish Union Societies
.ml many prominent citizens of other
nationalities were also present and
participated in the festivities of the
occasion. We mention this festival
with pleasure, sincerely hoping that
the gush of good feeling flowing from
it may soon ramify every nook and

To Mr. A. P. Robertson.
T. G. Barrett.
Tie Democrats pretend to be much
loyed if a colored man says he will
vote as he pleases, and threaten to
discharge from employment all who
don't vote as they desire. There must
be a deep and hidden reason for the
election of the Democratic Ticket,
which outsiders know nothing about —
reasons that induce even a candidate
lor the Mayoralty to offer $5.00 to a
voter as being ‘‘all right.”
Mick* to It.
The Quitipan Banner sticks to it
that Hill, Toombs & Co. are “blath

proving, Mr. Banner man.
Progeny.
Near Louisiana, Pike county, Mis

who <>ave birth to four boyn.

Voting (oiupared with <gc.
Every one who reads the papers
must have noticed how many aged
men who “voted for Washington”
participated in the recent election. It
may be doubted whether the state
ment was true in more than one or
two instances. As the first Presi
dential election took place in 1788, a
person to have voted that year must
have been born in or before 1707, and
would now be more than a hundred
years old. No one who is now less
than ninety-seven years of age could
have voted at the second election of
Washington. This is not all; we have
heard of at least fifty old colored men
who said they were servants of the
Father of his country.
Von Pay the Doctor.
A sick man, slightly convalescing,
recently, in conversation with a pions
friend, who congratulated him upon
his recovery, and asked him who his
physician was, replied : “ Dr. Jones
brought me through.” “ No, no,” said
his friend, “ God brought you out of
your illness, not the doctor.” “ Well,
maybe He did, but 1 am certain the
doctor will charge me for it.”
The Greenback.
A saloon keeper at Cincinnati has in
his possession the first greenback ever
issued by the Government. It is No.
1, A series, signed in Chase’s own
hand, and is in a good state of preser
vation. The owner has been offered
SSO for it as a curiosity. There are
many people who would give more
than that to sec the last greenback,
and we know of some who havn’t seen
a greenback in some time.
Bread Cast Upon the Water)*.
If you have money and nothing to do
with it, buy Hour and wood, and send
it to the poor families of your neigh
borhood. This is a good use for your
money, and at the same time will re
lieve suffering humanity.

Industry and Sobriety.
Mr. Edwin Booth, the actor, began
his profession with the sum of SSO,
and by sobriety, talent and hard study,
he has accumulated $500,000. We
here have an illustrution of what can
be accomplished by sobriety and a
strict attention to business.
* ' —♦ ♦ *■ '
The Reason Why.
Governor Bullock offered $5,000
for the arrest of the murderer of A. G.
Ruffin. It is believed that the same
man who killed • Ruffin killed the
colored man. If the Democrats will
give up the assassin, it can be very
easily proved whether or not he com
mitted the double deed.
Don't Buy them All.
We beg our Democratic friends not
to buy up all the colored voters. B7ty
try and buy up all the poor meu’s
tickets? Please answer.
Cotisiiler.
Before a workingman casts his vote
for the rich man’s ticket, let him ask
himself carefully “What object the
rich men have in trying to get into
power just now, and will the poor man
stand any chance at all in earning a
livelihood for himself and little ones
if the aristocratic ticket is elected ?”
Ponder well.
Snve Your Pennies.
Pennies make dollars. This fact
does not appear to be generally recog
nized by the world. “ What s a
penny ?” is asked with a sneering,
contemptuous lip. Our reply is—
very much; in truth about everything.
Does it not involve the whole question
of finance ? Is it not the point which
leads to or from a fortune, just as
fidelity or falsity to principle is fol
lowed. Pennies make dollars; dollars
make fortunes. Attention to little
matters make up the total of a good
and successful life. Show :s a man
or woman who despises little matters,
and we sec one who is sure in time to
be a failure, and generally the time is
soon reached.
—A machine for harvesting corn,
by taking the ears from the stalks
while standing in the field, was exhib
ited at the recent State fair in Illinois.
The apparatus is constructed to strip
two rows at once. The stalks are Lik
en between projecting metal-laced
fingers, and as the machine advances,
the but of the ear is brought in con
tact with a short sickle, playing at the
rear of the fingers, cutting it off, while
the stalk passes under the machine
without being pulled up; the cars are
received into a large hopper at the
end of the machine, and discharged
when it is full.
—Gen. Fleury appeared at Count
Walewski's funeral with a black eye.
He had struck his English sei’vant with
a riding whip, and the latter hit out
from the "shoulder to some purpose.
—A young New York broker paid
S2OO the other day for a standard of
flowers for his lady love, an uptown
hello.
Fashion Notes
Dresses. —The now styles of dress
are very peculiar in a few particulars,
and deserve more than a passing no
tice. They depend altogether on the
grace and taste of the wearer to make
them becoming. They are costumes,
dainty and artistic, or dreadfully dow
dy, according to the instinct, refine
ment and cultivation of the wearer.
Paniers have been all the rage for
some time past, and are still very much
worn, though it is rumored that the
punier panic is quietly subsiding in
New York, and this will no doubt pro
duce a corresponding lull in the excite
ment here. The beautiful embroidered
robes, the choicest fabrics of the sea
son, contain no material for paniers,
and this fact, turning rejoicing over
their splendor into the deepest anxie
ty, will ultimately cause the ruin of
the famous panier.
Water-proof Suits, etc. —Suits
of heavy, double-faced, English water
proof cloth are very fashionable this
season, and for warm, durable, eco
nomical winter service there is nothing
more desirable. There are also suits
of dark linsey—a material similar to
water-proof—trimmed with a broad,
heavily corded, black woolen braid,
called “Hercules” braid, which are
very comfortable for outdoor exercise.
A good, useful style in which to make
them is with a single skirt, walking
length—Hungarian pelisse—lined to
the waist with Canton flannel, belted,
and ornamented upon the sides with
a single wide military sash, and edged
with fringe. A small cape may be
added to the pelisse for warmth, lined
with flannel, in which case an ordinary
lining will be sufficient for the waist
of the pelisse. These arc very useful
costumes, besides looking well, and
less expensive than goods formerly
adopted for street wear.
Tartan Costumes. The Scotch
poplins, or the scarlet and blue and
green checks arc very nice for house
dresses, wearing clean, and always
looking tidy and handsome. The
skirts of these dresses have no trim
ming; they are made long at the
back, and full, with large gathers; to
the belt is added a rosette, back and
front; the waist is trimmed square,
with black velvet and chenille fringe,
if liked, and leaf rosettes are made for
the tops of the sleeves. This is a new
design, and is very much in vogue.
Poplin Suits. —-Poplin velour, a
heavily corded fabric, makes a very
handsome dress, quite as handsome
indeed as silk, and much more effective
than a common silk. It is most fash
ionable in pearl gray, garnett, crimson
and black.
Street Dresses. —Heavily corded
black silk, made short or long, is still
very much worn as a street dress, and
being difficult to soil, it is very desira
ble at this season of the year. Some
are made with double skirt, not looped
up, and worn with tight short basques.
Lace on the basque and upper skirt,
headed with passomeuterie, is the
most elegant trimming.
House Dresses. —A blue cashmere,
or a blue and white plaid poplin, or
the red and black Rob Hoy, are suita
ble for indoor dresses. Let the skirt
just sweep the floor. A ten-inch
flounce, bias, and bound with silk of
the prevalent color of the plaid is very
elegant. Above the flounce should be
a crosscut strip of the material, edged
with silk.
The Walking Dresses —Are a
very beautiful and stylish walk
ing dress is made of maize-colored
Turc satin. Flat bands of black satin,
embroidered with maize colored satin,
trim the close-fitting corsage. The
skirt is short in front, and long at the
back. Around it arc two rows of
satin box-plaiting, each row divided
down the centre by a piping of the
same. Below there is an embroidery
in black silk. A bertha is made of
black satin, lined with white silk,
headed by a narrow ruffle and richly
embroidered. The sleeves arc straight,
and have pointed cuffs to match.
Satin waistbelts with large rosettes arc
very tasteful. From each side falls a
long and wide embroidered satin tab
—these tabs knot loosely at the back,
and beneath them is a scolloped satin
band which supports the panier. An
embroidered collar and undersleeves
should be worn with this costume.
A beautiful walking-dress is also
made of pearly-gray cashmeres. Upon
the short lower skirt is a deep box
plaited flounce. Close-fitting corsage
and straight sleeves trimmed with
narrow black velvet, with double
tassels of black silk depending from
each large ornament. With this style
of dress a lace collar, and undersleeves
are mostly worn.
—Mr. Charles Dickens, in answer
to an appeal made by Mr. Pope, col
lector of funds for the Printer’s Alms
house, writes : “I beg to say I shall
be happy to devote the gross amount
of my next reading in London to the
fund. What should I have been with
out printers? I am grateful, and wish
to show it.” The object now sought
is the erection of a new wing to the
institution.
—The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
says the Springfield .Republican, seems
not to have returned from Boston in a
very amiable mood, for he told his
people, at the Friday evening prayer
meeting, that the religion of Boston is
as cold as ice. In answer to a ques
tion how he accounted for the frightful
theology of the Bay State, Mr. Beecher
said it "originated in the dead ortho
doxy of a former age. If the Puritan
Fathers had preached Christ instead
of Galvanism, the men who deny the
divinity of the Saviour would not now
be in power in New England.
—A prisoner was examined in court
and contradicted himself. “Why do
you lie so ?” asked the Judge, “haven’t
you a lawyer ?”
—Her Majesty has been graciously
pleased to confer the vacant ribbons
of St. Patrick upon the Marquis of
Waterford and the F.arl of Erne.

Gov Scott’s Message.
Ciuklewton, November 30.—Governor
Scott, to-dav, sent his Message to the Leg
islature. lie takes an encouraging view of
the position of affairs in this State, and
gives substantial reasons for his belief that
no State of the Union is more solvent or
has a fairer prospect of meeting all her
liabilities. The aggregate receipts of the
State Treasury for the six months, ending
October 31st, have been $435,573; anil
expenditures for the same period, $409,688.
The Governor recommends that the dona
tion of land made by the United States
Government be devoted to the establish
ment of an educational institute, in Charles
ton, for instruction in agriculture and me
chanic arts, and the higher branches of
scientific and classical studies. He de
nounces all turbulence and lawlessness,
and strongly deprecates secret political
organizations. In concluding his Message,
he says:
The general elections have passed, and
the political issues involved, which so
fiercely agitated the country, having been
determined for a considerable period, it is
to be hoped that the community may be
indulged in a much needed respite from
the passions and excitements to which it
has so long been subjected, and that our
people may be enabled to turn their atten
tion to the development and improvement
of their material resources, which have
been so sadly impaired and neglected.
It gives me much pleasure to state that
assurances have been received, both pre
vious and subsequent to the election, from
anany of the most prominent men of the
State, heretofore in active opposition to the
Government, of their regret at the occur
rence of these outrages, and their detesta
tionfortheir authors, as well as of their
determination to yield a willing obe
dience to the Constitution and laws,
relying upon the peaceful exeicise of their
rights at the ballot box, to remedy what
ever they may deem objectionable in them.
This determination has exerted, and can
not but continue to exert, a favorable in
fluence upon the prosperity of the State—
tranquilizing its people, stimulating its
industry and giving character and credit
to its enterprises. Recognizing with
pleasure these evidences of returning good
feeling, and wishing to reciprocate every
indication of an approach to friendly rela
tions, I would reiterate the recommenda
tions of my last message in favor a liberal
policy on the part of the Legislature in
reference to the removal of political
disabilities. While upon the momentous
subject of our past great differences,
1 would take occasion to express the
hope that the national politics will occupy
hereafter a much less prominent position
in the affairs of the State and in the minds
of the people than heretofore. Political
issues having been determined for years to
come at least,there is but little propriety in
keeping up political agitation.
Military Order.
Washington, November 30.—The fol
lowing military order is published to
day :
Headq’s Army United States, |
Washington, Nov. 24. )
Gen. J. M. Sehofiehl. Secretary of War :
Sik : I have the honor to submit the
reports of Division and Department Com
manders for the past year. These reports
give a hill account bf the operationsand
services of the army for the past year, and
I refer to them for details. I would
earnestly renew my recommendation of
last year, that the control of the Indians
be transferred to the War Department. I
call special attention to the recommenda
tion of General Sherman on the subject.
It has my earnest approval. It is unne
cessary that the arguments in favor ot the
transfer should be restated. The necessity
for it becomes stronger and more evident
every day.
While the Indian war continues, I do
not deem any general legislation for the
reduction of the army advisable. The
troops on the Plains arc all needed. Troops
are needed in the Southern States, and
further reduction can be macle in the way
already used and now in operation, where
it is safe, namely : By allowing companies
to diminish by discharges without being
strengthed by recruits, and by stopping
appointments of 2d Lieutenants. If it
should be deemed advisable, the veteran
reserve regiments might be discontinued
by absorption and retirement of officers
and discharge of men without detriment
to the service.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
U. 8. Ghaut, General.
News from Washington.
Washington, November 30.---Meade's
report gives a detailed account of his op
erations. He was applied to from all parts

North Carolina Legislature.
Raleigh, November 30.—1 n the House
of Representatives to-day, the resolution
petitioning Congress to remove the disa
bilities of all the citizens of the State, was
discussed. The debate evinced an im
proved state of feeling on the part ol the
majority.
In the Senate, resolutions were adopted
to investigate the rumors of bribery and
black mail against members and others.
Mr. Sweet, a Republican Senator and a
Northern man, said that he could prove
that bribery had been used to accomplish
the passage of certain schemes.
Jeff. Davis’ Trial.
Richmond, Va., November 30. —This
morning in the United States Circuit Court
Robert Quid, counsel for Jeff. Davis, made
a motion to squash the indictment against
Davis, on the ground that the fourteenth
amendment prescribes the mode for pun
ishing participation in the rebellion, which
is disfranchisement, and no other punish
ment is prescribed. The prosecuting attor
ney moved to postpone the motion till the
latter part of the term. Chief Justice
Chase decided to hear the arguments on
the motion on Thursday.
An Armed Force Captures a Town,
Memphis, November 28.—The Appears

ing to be military, entered the town of
Centre Point, Sevier county, arrested all
the inhabitants, marched them into an
open Hehl, plucod a guard over them, and
then proceeded to sack the town.
After this they left. The next day the
citizens of the adjoining county flocked
into the town, and a meeting was held to
express the sentiments of the people in
regard to the outrage. While the meet
ing was progressing, the same men dashed
into town, opening an indiscriminate tire
upon the assembly, shooting a number of
them, and arresting three of the oldest
anil best citizens, named Heister, Ander
son and Gilbert. They then carried ‘hem
to a field and shot them. The band arc
still in possession of the town.
