Farewell Address.
Th# Macon Convention.
It is to be hoped the Macon Conven
tion, which is to assemble on the 9th,
mid which is to advance the Agricul
tural ami Mechanical interests of Geor-
gia, will be largqly attended. Tip* ob
ject is of such tranfwendant import
ance that we can nos see how the Con
vention can be otherwise than success
ful. If the body confines its delibera
tions, as we presume it will, to the
legitimate object stated in the call, its
effects will be electrical on the indus
trial interests of Georgia. Perhaps
in no respect will its advantages be
more potent than in giving courage to
our desponding farmers, and in excit
ing a noble respect in the minds of the
young men of the State, who were
reared in anticipation of a career of
wealth and opulence. This accom
plished, these young and disappointed
men will hold politics secondary to busi
ness, and consequently matters, social
and political, will run decidedly more
smooth. “Satan always finds some
mischief for idle hands to do,” and to
this fact may be traced much of thu
turbulence of the times.
The question of small in
opposition to tht old plan, will also
claim a share of attention. There is
scarcely any two opinions on this*
subject Upw, but much information
gathered from a discission of
the <Whib of the new and i*U|HMMcd

general impression now seems to b.
that an immigrant farm hired laborer
cannot, at this time, come in .successful
competition with our home laborers.
Instead of the Democracy being the
best friend of the colored man, the
latter is the best friend of the v. bite
people. The black population are the
cheapest laborers of America. To
wipe them out of the whole country
is to wish to “kill the goose which lays
the golden egg.” But we need a few
white immigrants here of the class to
which we referred at some length
yesterday—those who can farm it on
a small scale on their “own hook.”
Land is cheap, and can be had in
large quantities. These men are fa
miliar with labor, and recognize the
sacred truth that the tiller of the soil
is the best friend of his kind. lie

k Who Will Have Influence With Gen.
p Grant.
** There is a great deal of speculation
on this subject just now, writes Mr.
Robert Bonner of the N. V. Led-
I yer. Some people think that Air. E.
f B. Wasiibvßne w ill control him ; some
> say that he is in frequent and confi
• dential correspondent with Mr. A. T.
Stewart, the dry-goods man ; some
say that Gen. Rawlins is all power
ful with him, and others that Gen.
Badeal- wields a wonderful influence.
We have been frequently asked what
we think about the matter, and to
save the trouble of further inquiry we
may as well state our views. On one
occasion, when Gen. Grant was riding
with ns behind Peerless, he
quietly remarked : u I should like to
take hold oj the reins. Now*, we
rather think Gen. Grant will hold the
reins himself the next four years. He
has been elected President and he will
be President. It is true that he has
said that he should only carry out the
w ill of the people as declared by the
laws ol Congress, but then he will
carry it out. We shall have an admin
istration. He will do his duty, and
the men under him will have to do
their duty. Therefore we conclude
that the most influential man with the
administration for the next four wars
will be UIYSsRs S. Grant.

The Municipal Election Again.
Well, Mr. Russell is inaugurated.
Everybody seems to be in as excellent
spirits as ourselves, except the official
Judases who voted with the majority
with the hope of being retained. This
class are on nettles, and the nettles
arc stinging them worse than the cow
itch. Republicans and Democrats
alike laugh at. but don’t pity them.
“Blessed are those who expect nothing
for they will not be disappointed.
We lune no “Great Expectations;”
we started out after the election to
feel as good over it as the Democrats,
and aided by our genial friend, “hand
some Jim,” we have succeeded.
At the request of many persons
who were unable to obtain the. Re
publican yesterday morning, ow ing
to the irrepressible rush for it, we re
produce our melancholy lament over
our terrible defeat :
THE ELECTION YESTERDAY.
It is reported that there was an election
held in the city yesterilav for municipal offi
cers of Augusta. We inquired of several
Republicans, but could not learn whether the
report was true or not. As a dernier resort,
we dispatched several members of our re
portorial staff to inquire among the Demo
crats to see whether the active members of
that party could inform us whether there
was any truth in the singular report. After
several hours’ absence (and, indeed, consid
erably after nightfall), they returned, one by
one—all agreeing that the Democrats held an
election during me day; that a few Repub
licans voted; but that it would be impossible
for several estimate Russell's major
ity. Most of our reporters were, evidently
stampeded. The fact is, we feel rather in
clined to stampede oursJhr*
Well, we are beaten. We are not only re
pulsed, we are defeated we are routed.
Swearing will be of no use—so we shan’t
swear; crying will be of no avail—so we
shan’t cry; going into the sulks will not
change the result—so we shan’t go into the
sulks; laughing always made us feel com
fortable—and so here is a loud ha 1 ha 1 at
our own discomfiture. We can stand a de
feat better than the opposing party can stand
such an overwhelming victory. We doubt
whether the sedate gentlemen who are elected
will survive so much glory. A recollection
of what it cost them in Chase photographs
may arouse them to the realities of life and
the' emptiness of Aldermanic honors. Let no
one imagine that we are despondent. The
thing is too grotesque for sadness. Then lhe
good time that is coming—we hope to share.
Every laboring man is to have work, and
everybody is Io make a hatful of money,
with a Christmas turkey thrown in. For
our part, we will be satisfied with the turkey,
and continue to use out old hat to < over our
head. There being a hole in (lhe crown of
it, we fear the Chase photog:uph-s\m|j|i f ‘’’^ 1,

Our Indian
Our iclatious with the Imliau tribes
of lhe \V< ■! will constitute the third
question of importance which will
come before the next Congress—it
being subordinate alum- to the South
ern and financial issues. We publish
elsewhere sonic interesting figures of
the “cause- aqd cost” of our past In
dian wars, which will astonish the
general reader. The Indian has the
character of a savage race, and no
doubt it is; but every Christian and
humane man must acknowledge that
the Red man has been treated, in mu'
titudes of instances, with great injus
tice. We have known many Indian
agents, whose salary was only
who retired from office worth fortunes
of more than SHOO,OOO each. All this
money properly belonged to the In
dians. It was not bad advice of
Geojige Francis Train, a year or
two since, that we could easily make
peace by shooting the Indian traders.
We never heard of an Indian agent
that did not get rich. General Grant,
in his very brief annual report, recom
mends the transfer of tho Indian
Bureau to the War Department—the
plan being for the Quartermaster’s De
partment to take charge of matters.
This will not end stealing by any
means, but it will give the Govern
ment a chance to courtmartial the
most notorious rascals. It is to be
hoped the politicians will be deprived
of this rich bone of pickings.

to gaze on her, and a child was so rare
that once in a theatre in the same

infant, when it began to cry, just as
the orchestra commenced to play, a
man in the pit cried out, “stop those
fiddles, anil let the baby cry. I
havn't heard such a sound for ten

nil political que-tions asked of inc, tlicrc
would not be time between now and the 3d
of November to ge'through. Mr. Moses, I
think, will readily understand this. In re
gard to Order N 11. hundreds of letters
have been written o me about it, by persons
of the faith affected by it. Ido or did not
answer nny of tin vriteis, but pcimitted a
statement of the hets concerning the origin
of the order to Iv made out and given to
some one of them lor publication. 1 do not
prcterul <o sustain !/<’ ord< r.
At the time of ts publication I was in
censed by a reprin md received from W ash
ington for permitti iguets wlnch Jews within
my lines were engaged in. There were
many other jienson.* within my lines equally
bad with the Worst of them, but the differ
ence was that lhe lews could pass with im
punity from one aimy to the other, and gold,
in violation of ordirs, was being smuggled
through the line-, at least so it was reported,
'l he order was issued and sent without any
reflection, and without thinking of the Jews
as a sect or race to themselves, but simply as
persons who had successfully (I say success
fully. instead of persistently, because there
were plenty of others within my lines vyho
enviea their success) violated an order, which
greatly inured to the help of the rebels.
Give Mr. Moses assurance that I have no
prejudice against sect or race, but want each
individual to be judged by his own merit.
Order No. 11 does not sustain this statement,
I admit, but then I do not sustain that order.
It never would have been issued if it had not
been telegraphed the moment it. was penned,
and without reflection.
Yours, truly, U. 8. GRANT.

C. If the burglars still persist in
their nefarious occupation, go to the

what they’re about.
If they don’t desist now, make
your wife tell them that in your opin

you have a great mind to be very
angry.
8. Say you are very dangerous when
you are once roused.

obviate the necessity of a disturbance
in the house.
10. Ask them if they wouldn’t like
some cold meat and pickles, arid a
glass of beer and a pipe.
11. Let them have what they like,
do what they like, and give them a
dollar each besides. When they’ve
gone bring out your pistols, and send

12. Go to bed again, and say that
the only reason why you didn’t go
down stairs at first, punch all their
heads, shoot them, and take them pris

disturb the neighbors.

The Cause and Cost of our Indian
Wars.
Mr. A. 11. Jackson, of New York
city, ba* compiled from the official re
cord, mid will soou publish, mt exhibit
of the cost and causes ol the several
Indian wars during the last thirty
seven years, beginning with thu Black
Hawk war of 1831-32, which cost di
rcctlv $2,000,000, and indirectly, in
the destruction of property, employ
ment of militia, volunteers, pensions,
etc , $3,000,000 more, making an ug
gregatc of $5,000,000, attended with
a loss of 4,000 of our people. Officers
of the army and trovernment, in
cluding the present Secretary of the
Interior, who served through this w ar,
are unable, even at this late day, to
tell what was the real cause of that
conflict, They are confident that it
was forced upon the Indians in the in
terest of broken-down politicians and
speculators. The Seminole or Florida
war lasted nearly seven years, employ
ing the army’ and navy, the militia of
Florida, and volunteers from some of
the other States, costing 15,000 lives
and $100,000,000. The number of In
dians engaged was estimated by the
Indian Agent at 500 warriors; the
army officers estimated their number
at 1,000. Nearly 300 of the Indians
still remain in the everglades of
Florida. The others were moved west
of the Mississippi. Those in Florida
insist that they were never whipped.
The first cause of this outbreak was
an interpretation given to three treat
ies—one requiring a removal of the
Seminoles, the whipping of an Indian,
and the imprisonment of Osceola, who
escaped and became the leader of the
war party. At about the same time a
difficulty occurred with the Creeks,
Cherokees, and other Indians, costing
in the aggregate $1,000,000. In 1852
we had the Sioux war on the plains;
the cause, an Indian killed a cow worth
$lO, the property of a Mormon. This
war lastcn nearly four years, and cost
about 300 lives and nearly $10,000,-
000. In 1864, came the Cheyenne war,
which lasted nearly a year, costing
1,000 lives, ami, with the Sioux war,
at about the same time, $60,000,000.
Cause of the outbreak with the Chey
enness, a false charge made against
them of stealing a horse worth SSO ;
with the Sioux, the opening of a road
and the establishing thereof in their
country, in violation of treaty stipula.
tions. The war with the Cheyennes
ended with a treaty of peace in the
Fall of 1865, but that with the. Sioux
continued until the treaty which was
recently made by the Peace Commis,
sion. The Cheyenne war was resumed
and continued seven months in 1867,
in consequence of the burning of their
village by General Hancock. It cost
about 300 lives, and from $10,000,000
to $15,000,000, and is not fully settled
up yet. On the Pacific slope, during
' the* last twenty years, Indian out
breaks have cost in the aggregate
; $"00,000,000.
In New-Mexico Territory, since we
■ acquired it, three campaigns against
