While we aball continue to do all in onr

The Montgomery Ailvertiier has re
ceived some distressing report* of the
great destruction to property by the flood
in tho Warrior river. It ia estimated that
it has east 2800 people in Tnskaloosa
oonnty alone on public oharity. An ap
peal will he mado to the Htate for aid to
them. We copy from tbs Adtertitrr't
accounts:
"The Warrior rose 02 feet at the city
of Tuakaluoaa, and was overflowing all
the farms along ita banka and bottoms,
carrying disaster and suffering in its
course. At the crossing of the railroad
bridge of the Houtk and North road, fifty
xnilea above tho city, it bad risen to the
unprecedented height of 80 feet, sweep
ing away the iron bridge aa though it bad
been a mere cobweb. Of tha 7 bridges
across Unnningham'a creek, in Jefferson
county, live had been swept completely
nway, inflicting auoh damage to the road
as to delay ita completion two months or
snore. The iron bridge across the Warri
or waa to have been swung at 7 o’clock of
the evening on wbieh it wa* destroyed.—
The bridge aoruaa Turkey creek with
stood the pressure, notwithstanding the
fact that a gin house lodged against its
timbers and waa there torn to pieoea by
the water. Evory water mill in Jefferson
oonnty, with the solitary exoeption of
Boyles mill, which waa slightly oareouod,
waa carried away. ”
Ex-Gov. Drown, in a latter published in
the Atlanta papers, eon firms the report
that be was waited upon by a friend of
Gen. Toombs, with tho inquiry whether
bis (llrown a) church relations prevented
him from making arrangements for a
masting outside of the State; and that ha
responded that h* would gtv* Gen.
Toombs satisfaction in whatever manner
be might requiro.
On the other hand, Col. John 0. Nioh-
olla, the friend of Gan. Toombs above
referred to, publishes tha written report
mad* by him to Gen. Toombs of tb* con
versation held with Gov. Brown, in which
b* Informed Gen. T. that Brovin did not
answer his inquiry categorically, and that

It is, perhaps, a mere waste of time
and apace to ooutiuue a controversy with

issue, substitutes ill-tempered railing for
facts or logic, and plainly allows by
peoviah and amusing displays of irasri-
bility that he has fallen back upon the
Inst rosort of a defeated coutrovurhiulist.
But we have two or throo remarks to make
upon the luat article of the Sun before
dismissing it with onr blessing.
Tbo Suu'm second oasny to explain the
meaning of its “Ku-KItix article" may bo
deemed either funny or sarcastic—as tho
oaae may be—by tho writor ; but tho
chasms between its premises and conclu
sions are rather too broad for others to
raakn the connection. Our neighbor will
have to extend the scope of his disclaimer
of respouaibility for the understanding
of IiIh readers, and extend it more ami
more with evory effort at elucidation.
For instance--its “list of Neccssin was only
used to show how atrocious and mean the
arguments of the weak-kneed ‘New Do-
parturiate' were when they rebuked Mr.
Htaphena and every other freeman who
did not apeak with bated breath and whis
pering humblenekH about ltadical robbery
and tyranny." How consecutively ita “list
of aeeeasia" served to point this moral,
we leave to the acumen of the render—
inviting him also to make tho logical
connection hetwoen this moral and tho
reference to the war services of the said
oasis" that ho well fitted thorn for tho
work of “Ku-Kluxing tho negroes. ”
Tho Siiii'h modest fancy that in past
combats with UudicaUsui it was “as bravo
a lion," while othor papers spoko ouly
“with bated breath and whispering hum
bleness," ia no doubt a very comforting
one. But really we do not remember any
of the occaaiutiH. If it has dill'orod with
other Democrats in regard to any political
qneHtions, except thoso in which the groat
body of tho Douiooratio party nustmnod
ita opponents and rofusud to follow its
advioe, wo would like to be informed
specifically when and what. If it rofnrs
to its superior etyle of dealing with lUdi-
oal measures, that is a matter about which
taatoa diffor, and (la egotistic partiality
may after all bo only a Hilly conceit.
The Sun admits doiug tho printing for
Gon. Huger * administration, hut says that
it only amounted to #88. We would liko
to know the exact amount of printing or
advertising for a ltadical or usurpiug State
Government that makes ita reception
reprehensible, especially if the paper took
All that was offered to it. It alao intimates
that Bullock paid better. How much did
he pay for tho publication of tho most
infamous of all his proclamations—tho
one concerning which we said, iu publish
ing it per public order, that it furnished
evidence that (he iUdicals were deter
mined “to pUHh by most desperate and
despicable means some infamous scheme
of outrage on Georgia" ? Wo alludo to
hia proclamation of the 29th Novomber,
IWJfi, denouncing a pretended extensive
conspiracy in tho Htate “against the por-
Aona and property of oolorod citizens aud
white Republicans by organized bands
of eeoret aaaaaains," Ac., and offering
rewards for tha apprehension of a number
of white men charged with the cuimnis-
•ion of outragaa npou negroes. Did not
the Sun publish that proclamation ? and
if *o, ought it not to have had more
oonoern tor it# own “glass house" before
casting ita atone at na for receiving Rad
ical patronage?
And now, a word to tha Sun in parting,
alnoe it will not go tha way of the Demo
cratic party. Everybody who reads our
paper knows that wa ohasrva tho utmost
courtesy towards all editors or correa-
pondsats with whom wa have controver
sies, until they grossly depart from that
mode of eondneting a discussion with us.
Wa have never assailed tha editor of the
Srm “by name"--never alluded to his
name axoepi ia a kind or joking way—or
retorted sharply upon hia paper except
whan ita language towards us justified a
severs retort. But R need not expsot to
give all the blows and reoeive none in
return in oontroveriiea with ua. We have
no objection to ita panning ita own polit
ioal oonrse; bat when it Area a shot iato

The York Tribune publishes a fall
and intereariug report of the visit of a
number of Southern gentlemen (delegatee
to Baltimore) and others to Air. Greeley
at hia country home, on Saturday last. A
number of interesting abort speeches were
made on the occasion. That of Mr. Gree

Col. Shorter, of Alabama, an ex-Con-
federate Congressman and soldier, spoke
as folios*:

when i wa* in the Confederate Congress,
Ktanding there a* a representative of m
aoocmion district in Alabama, that in 1872
I'd be here, at the home of Horace Gree
ley, advocating his election to tbe Presi
dency, I would have aaid he was a mad
man. A war ha* swept over tbe country,
aiavory has been abolished, sod Horace
Greeley did more then anybody else to
accomplish that result. I owned Haven.
I lost all the aconmulations of my life-
liuio by their emancipation ; but, bo help
me God ! I would lose my right arm be
fore I would raise a voice or cast a vote
for rc-estabiixhing them as slaves. There
i< heat enough yet in the dead anhee of
tny couutry lo bring forth tbe phoenix of
it* restoration if Horace Greeley is mado
Fre*ident. I served in the rebel army,
and for four years tried to get my Htate
out of the Union, and for five years after
tbe war ended wc tried to get back. Gen.
Grant h*«l visited the South and aaid that
tbe people there ccuded only to know the
people of the North to harmonize with
them, and that they were willing and

We ere eorry to note that at least one

show their colors plainly. “lie that i*
not for me is against me," is a maxim of
Holy Writ, and these insidious stroke*
with the blade of Josh, ere influitely more !
dangerous than manlv blows inflicted in
open combat. In all kindness w e would
exhort these brethren to yield gracefully
to tbs almost unsoimons verdict of their
own countrymen aud party, aud cast in
their lot at of old with the liou-heurted
Democracy of Georgia. It It not arrogant
to assume that you, a mere oorporul *
guard, are right, aud the thomuimlH of
pore and illustrious men who differ from
yon are wrong ? Hue the example of tbe
noble Bayard, of Delaware, who so re
cently waa yoor leader.
Mr. Greeley is not the choice of the
Democracy, bat ha represent* au impor
tant seceding element of the Republican*,
who have pat forth a platform which,
though not unexceptionable, yet embrace*
the most important principles for which
wa are contending. Local self-govern
ment, non-interference with popular elec
tions, the eopremsuy of the civil over
military law, economy in the administra
tion of pnblio affairs, immediate and
universal amnesty, tha restoration of
peace and good will between all section*
—these are some of the more asUent
features of the programme which the
moderate Republicans tendered to tho
Baltimore Convention for their accept
ance. It waa received and endorsed aiuid
a storm of enthusiasm, and with a unan
imity hitherto unknown in tbs council* of
the party. And that Convention wa* con-
fsoaedly one of the ablest and most rep
resentative bodies ever convened iu the
history of the Government. Wisdom,
moderation, and high-toned patriotiMu
characterized its deliberations. Old pre
judices and animosities, exploded issue*,
and an arbitrary party drill were ignored,
and tba lire pre*ent occupied the attention
of that grand convention of the estate*
of ths people. A stern determination
waa manifested to aaaail and overthrow
ths present corrupt government, and
•vary combination waa sought and wel
comed which would unite for that purpose
upon tenable grounds.
The resale has been such an uprising of
the people for Grsslty and Brown ss ha*
seldom nwsn witnessed in any campaign.
Now then ys malcontent*, why kick
against the pricks, or bite ths file to your
own detriment. No msrit attaches to
t onsisteney in aay wrong-headed deter-
■ination. Submit at once to the logio of
•vents, and fall into line like good sol
diers in defense of onr dearest right* and
liberties. Try Mr. Grseley. Take him
in trust at the recommendation of a vast
majority of your brethren. Yon have
everything to gain and nothing to loose
in tbe ehoiee of eeodidetee, while the on
ion and preservation of the Democratic
party should over-ride all minor consider
ations.
Bat after all that has been aaid, if yon
•till refuse to strike hinds with old
f riende in the oeme of ail that is honora
ble don't open Are upon them, but pre
serve that calm neutrality which has so
far been maintained by ths Atlanta Snn,

The Fight of American* In F^rypt.
London, July 17.—Mail advice* from
Alexandria to Friday last give detuiled ac
count* ot the uflruy between Consul Gen
eral Butler and the Khedive'* American
officer*. Consul Butler, hi* Secretary
Wadleigh and an attache of tbe consulate
named Htrologo were dining at a Greek
restaurant, where also a party of officers,
Gena. Loring and Rcyuulda sad Major
Campbell. As they were leaving the res
taurant Loring and Keynolda saluted
Butler, but Major Campbell panaed on
without rueognizmg him. Butler shonted
after him, “Good evening, Major Camp
bell." Campbell retraced his steps and
high word* and blows ensued. The whole
party tbuu went into the street where
Wadleigh fired soverul shots at Major
Campbell, wounding him dangerously.
Genoral Reynold* then fired at Wadleigh,
but without effect. The difficulty is re
ported to have grown ont of s long stand
ing enmity betwueu Butler and Campbell.
Verson* who have recently arrived in
this city from Alexandria state that they
*aw Butler, Wadleigh, Campbell, Loring
and others, pl..ying curd* within the past
two weeks.
