Mercer Ini versify.
We understand the Baptists of Georgia wish
to locate their university in Macon. They se
lect this place for its centrality—accessibility—
salubrity. It is a flue point for an intellectual
moral and religious focalization as to Georgia.
Penfield iH seven miles distant from a railroad,
and never will be reached by any great thorough
fare. It is, in these times of rapid locomotion,
out of the world, and it has but the single pub
lic interest of this University. Its inaccessibil
ity limits its scope and influence to almost pure
ly denominational support in Georgia, and
much of this even in Georgia is lost by reason
of inconvenient access. It is beyond all reli
gious and literary influences not arising within
itself, and supplies of all kinds get there expen
sively and slowly.
Vet with all these weighty disadvantages Mer
cer University has maintained constantly a po
sition of moderate prosperity, and it has now
eighty-seven non resident nndergrsduates.—
The Baptist denomination is very powerful in
Ibis State. Years ago they used to number
ninety thousand or more communicants, and we
presume have largely increased their number
since wo saw the figures.
Now, if, with their endowment and able facul
ty, they can plant themselves at this central
point, they would enter upon a new era. They
would command the whole of their own denom
inational force in Georgia and probably add a
a good deal from neighboring States.
Moreovor, there are now forty yonth in Ma
con who are under graduates of some of our
colleges and it is highly probable their succes
sors would prefer a college at home to one abroad;
while the love of education inspired by such an
establishment would no doubt largely increase
this number. In less than ten years, located in
Macon, it would receive s hundred students from
this place alone, if there were no other college
or University here. What with domestic and
foreign students we Hhonld Bay that in a fow
years, Mercer, under such circumstance, ought
to command at least two hundred undergradn-
•tcs.
The least that such a business would bring
and save to this town would be one hundred
thousand dollars per annum, in students alone,
while the business, visitors and travel it would
bring would largely increase this amount.
"We havo said that the corporation of Macon
shonld move to nssist Mercer in the proposed
location. They shonld not do it, however, with
out the sanction of the people expressly given
to the proposition. We therefore suggest to the
Oonncil to take some steps to invite nn expres
sion of the public will on this point forthwith.
The Pennsylvania Flection.
Onr dispatches indicate Republican gains in
Pennsylvania, and the success of thst party.
The South and West may no longer look to
tho Eastern States for a retnrn to the principles
of the Constitution, as a recognition of the
rightH of the producing sections of the country.
Tho manufacturing and bond-holding interests
of that section are remorseless in their demands
and reckless in the means to secure them. We
must now look to the West alone for strength to
overthrow the despotism of the moneyed oli
garchy, and to tho laboring classea of the entire
Republic the appeal must go up for equal taxa
tion, snd tho rights of the toilers.
Later.—Our closing dispatches leave ns in
doubt ns to the result. It may be that the solid
men of tho Keystone have pnt their shoulders
to the wheel, and reversed tho rolling rnin of
the jnggernant.
Our National I»ebt—The Reported Of
fer of the Rothschilds.
A report (says the Herald) comes throagh n
Washington tolegrnm that the Rothschilds are
about to offer a loan to onr government to any
amount it may deaire at fonr per cent, interest,
and that M. Friguot, an agent of these great
capitalists, will arrive shortly to make the pro
position. It is fnrther said that this proposed
action on the part of the Rothschilds has been
prompted by tho discovery that certain German
capitalists were cortemplating a similar propo
sition. Now, we do not know what truth there
may be in this report. It may only be a bull
operation on the part of those holding largely
United States securities for the purpose of send
ing tip the prices in the markets ; and if we con
sider that the Rothschilds would not be likely to
make known in advance any great financial op
eration of this sort, such would be a reasonable
view of tho character and object of the tele
gram. Still it is not improbable that either the
Rothschilds or the German capitalists alluded
to, or Kith, may contemplate snch a grand
financial movement.

Fisz Rzadixg.—The finest reading of the age
is to lie found in official and other expositions
of the internal revenue acts. It is the most
purely original literature extant, and is made np
principally of oonoeptions which never before
entered the head of man. The last effort we
shall notice is a decision of the Internal Revenue
that “sweet potatoes must be regarded as
grain.” This decision was made on the 6th and
was evoked by the fact that the Virginians were
making whisky out of sweet potatoes. The
Commissioner is now engaged in determining
whether clams are quadrupeds.
Amxbiccb City jjm Business Dihectort.—
Mr. Wm. C. P. Cleghom hand ns a neatly print

ing them away from the polls will not stick.
The voters voted—and voted their own way
without let or hindrance from anybody; and the
result is that the moral and intellectual power
of Savannah carried tho day almost nrm. con.
The Radical party amounted in composition,
probably, to a small body of political adventur
ers supplemented by a following of the riff-raff
among tbo negroes—the vagrants—the idle and
the vicious, who have no stake or interest in
society—whose views are, in fact, best subserved
by public disorder and confusion—that, and
that alone, was tho so-called “Republican” ex
hibit at the Savannah municipal election on
Monday.
And snch must, under existing circumstances,
be the inevitable drift everywhere in Georgia.
This election adds only one more to the po
tential facts going to provo the utter impossibil
ity of building np a political power on the
scheme adopted by the Congressional and North
ern Radicals for the Sonth and pnt into opera
tion here. No amount of dry nnrsing to carpet-
baggery here, backed by negro appointments to
office, will be of the least avail. Both are in fact
suicidal so far os laying the foundation for a re
liable and serviceable political party is con
cerned. They are rubbish which must be torn
np and got rid of before a safe foundation can
be reached.
And what is that foundation? It must be
found, if found at all, in the approbation and
sympathy of the intelligent and substantial peo
ple of the country. It must be found in judi
cious appointments—pure administration and
liberal and reasonable counsels. The Repub
lican party, in a word, mnst cast aside their
malign temper—discountenance their proscrip
tive policy— dismiss the idea that they can re
construct the Sonth into Radicalism. They
never can do it, and tho more they try the worse
will bo the party results to follow.
Let them look at the facts. Chatham last
year was one of the counties about which a great
denunciation was made, and hundreds of affida
vits taken to prove’that tho “rebels” instituted
a reign of terrorism. Yet Chatham gavo then
but 2,379 Democratic majority, while this year
tho corporation of Savannah alono gave 3000.
And how can it be otherwise when all the
wealth, character and moral and intellectual
power are arrayed in one party. Every piece
of pnnitivo legislation, every thing in the nature
of retributive policy—every unfit and scanda
lous appointment, only concentrates this power
ful opposition. There never conld be a more
suicidal and erroneous conception than this one
of building np a political party upon a basis of
foreign adventurers and negroes, with tho aid o(
a pnnitivo and repressive legislation npon the
great body of the people. Cannot the Radicals
see it 1 And if they see it, let them reverse their
engino in time to save themselves a remnant.
Let them try a new polioyon Georgia—drop re-
reconstrnction and purging and fussing. Let
them pnt first-rate men in office and set about
conciliating tho pcoplo into Republicanism, if
they can, instead of driving them into it.
Railway Slaaghter Records.
Tho Long Island Railroad publishes a list of
casualties on the Hudson River, New York Cen
tral, Erie and Long Island Roads, from 1SC1 to
80S, with tho exception of the year 1804, inclu
sive, by which it appears that during that time
1005 passengers wore killed and 783 wounded on
these Roads. Tho figures run thus—the first num
bers being killed: 18G1, 113-60; 1862,110-58;
1863,129-51; 18C3, 1G7-145; 18CG, 147-191; 1867,
122 141 ; 1808, 217-142. Now of this formidable
list of killed and wounded, tho Long Island
Road boasts that they are accountable for only
47, bo that 1746 are one to the Hndson River,
New York Central and Erie, or an average to
each road, daring every year, of 83 persons
killed and wounded, but more killed than
wounded. That is a pretty heavy annual list
of railroad killing for any road to father.
A trains in Oooly.
Tiexna, Ga., October 7, 1869.
Editors 1 digraph : Our Superior Court, Hon.
0. B. Cole presiding, has been in session this
week. There baa been a considerable amount
of business disposed of for the space of time
(three and a half days,) it has been in session.
No cases of any great importance before the
court. His Honor still retains to a remarkable
degree that vigor of yonth both physically and
mentally, for which he has so long been noted
as one of Georgia's noblest and ablest judges.
Vie have nothing of special note except a con
tinuation of a long and rninous drought. The
greater portion of the county had ordinary sea
sons up to and daring the month of Jane, since
which time we had bat two good and general
seasons in onr county, the result of which is
cotton and corn both short, though nearly
enough of the latter to supply the wants of the
county. Peas, cane, potatoes, turnips, and late
vegetables of all kinds a complete failure. Water
has become to be the one thing needful, the
wells and what few springs we have are failing;
the branches, creeks and ponds are dry and fast
becoming so. Were it not for the steam mills
there would be great sufferingfor meal and bread;
and stock of all kinds are failing fast for want
of water; they gather and go in droves in search
of water—will stop at houses and look eagerly
over the fences, seemingly trying to tell of their
great suffering for the cooling dranght, which
is usually so plentiful in our county.
There is now some appearance of rain but we
fear it will as heretofore, pass off without giv
ing ns the cooling and plentiful visitation we so
much need. Yours respectfully,
Zebzes.

The Constitutional Amendments in
Virginia.
It will be seen that the Legislature on yester
day adopted the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments proposed by Congress to the Constitution
of the United States. To the former there were
fonr dissenting voices in the Senate and six in
the House. The fifteenth amendment passed
the House by a unanimous vote, while in the
Senate there were two (one colored Radical) east

Dispatch.
Some forty years ago Mr. S. W. Davis, a book
seller in Cincinnati, extended pecuniary aid to
a Mr. B. T. Hanley, almost an entire stranger
to him, which saved him from bankruptcy. Mr.
Hanley shortly after left Cincinnati for Mis
souri, and now he turns np at St. Louis with a
fortune of $2,000,000, which he has devised by
will to Mr. Davis in consideration of the aid
furnished him in his time of need.
for the purpose of acting in the capacity of
President of the Commercial Convention. He
had a grand reception to-day in the east wing of
the Court-house. It was a most brilliant affair,
: and the distinguished visitor presided over all
I with that ease, dignity and grace with which almost
tho entire country is familiar. I have not the
time to give yon details of what was said and
done. Many other men of note are also in the
city, among whom I may mention ex-Governor
Oglesby, Hon. John C. Breckenridge, ex-Gov-
ernor Bramlette, Acting Governor Stephenson,
the famous George Francis Train, (who lectured
two nights last week in Masonic Temple,) Koop-
manchap, the agent for Chinese immigrants,
and a host of lesser lights.
The committee of arrangements have chosen
the Louisville Opera Housq, as the place for the
deliberations of the convention. It has the ca
pacity to seat about 2,500 persons, but that is
not near large enough.
It would surprise you to see the gigantio
preparations which are going on for the great
procession which will come off on Thursday
next. Every artist in Louisville is overrun with
orders and actively engaged in lettering or de
signing, to illustrate the different trades and
professions which will be represented in the
grand display. Every manufactory, machine
shop and foundry will contribute to swell the
mighty cavalcade. Railroads, telegraph offices,
express companies will likewise lend a helping
hand. Everybody seems fully awake to the
grand occasion, and from all the indications
now around me, I am constrained to believe that
wo are going to have the most splendid demon
stration ever witnessed in the West.
Louisville will be benefitted by this conven
tion to the amount of ten millions of dollars. It
will give her a notoriety and a more prominent
position among her sister cities and rivals.
AxrrsniENTs.
To-night at the Opera Honse they commence
the performance of “Formosa,” a drama which
lias created such a sensation in London for near
ly a year. Of course it will draw immensely.
I realized a pleasure on last Thursday night that
I can scarcely describe. It was in listening to
tho wonderful performance of Hernandez, on
the gnitar. All the most difficult positions and
chords seem to him as mere child's play. I
doubt as to whether ho has on equal in the world
on this sweet instrument.
Tho Chapman Sisters aro still drawing finely,
at Weissiger Hall. No wonder. They are beau
tiful and gifted.
BUSINESS ACTTVTTT.
The business activity of Louisvilto just now
is unprecedented. So heavy is the trade, par
ticularly on Main street, that it is literally
blocked up with goods and tradesmen from dawn
until dark. Tho railroads are crowded with
freight and every other day refnse to take any
more for shipment.
Tho Galt House, than which there are few
larger nnd no better hotels, containing about
800 rooms, is filled to its utmost capacity with
guests. The Convention is mainly the cause of
this, hut it has a fine ran of patronago at all
times.
It now strikes me that the Convention to be
held here this week is littlo else than a mam
moth advertising dodge; but even in that light
it is a magnificent enterprise, and I say all honor
to the cool, calculating brain that conceived it.
It will bring together thousands of the best
business men in the country, and it is to be
trusted that the result of the deliberations will
be beneficial to both North and South. It will,
lam sure, do a great deal toward healing up the
wonnds nnd dissipating the ill feeling engen
dered by the war.
The people of Louisville are unanimously
in favor of extending the most cordial greeting
to all who may come, and they hope when the
great throng of distingnishe'd guests depart,
they will bear with them the gratified feelings
of having sojourned among a people always
proverbial for the most unbounded hospitality.
With the remark that there is to be a grand mu
sical festival every night during the sittings of
the Convention, and in which every body in the
city who can play or Bing is expected to partici
pate, I close my harried and incorhorent letter.
Yours, O. L. 8.

SYMPTOMS OF
CONSUMPTION!
Spitting of Blood
Bleeding from the Lungs,
BY DR. JAMES A. HUNTER,
(Late or New Oelxaxs.)
Physician for Diseases of the Head, Throat
and Lnngs.
Editors Telegraph—Sias: Of all the symp
toms thst indicate the approach of Consump
tion, there is none of such fearful significance
as the occurrence of “streaks of blood” in the
mucus expectorated. If this symptom does not
tell ns that tubercles are now actually deposited,
it does tell ns thst the lungs are obstructed and
oingestcd, and in a very precarious condition.
The quantity of blood brought up from the lungs
may vary from a few streaks to one or more
pints of pure blood, but the quantity does not
increase the danger to the patient. The danger
lies in the tubercles, which this symptom tells
us are note, or about to be, deposited in the del
icate air-tnbes and cells of the lungs, and a few
streaks of blood in the sputa are as strong a
proof of this as a pint would be. It is very
rare, indeed, that life is shortened by reason of
the loss of blood from tho lungs. Tho alarm
which patients feel at the first sight of blood is
natural enough, for they cannot know, what is
the fact, that those tcho spit blood from time to
time, lice longer, and hate a better chance of
cure, than those tcho do not lose a drop.
What [is the cause of spitting of blood ? It
is caused by whatever obstructs the free passage
of the blood through tho pulmonary capillaries.
Every pulsation of tho heart pumps into the
lnngs, to be distributed over the air-cells, a cer
tain quantity of blood. As the heart never
ceases its action, and conld not, without stop
ping the whole of life, it will be understood that
a steady stream of blood is flowing from the
heart to the lungs. Now, if the lungs are healthy,
this blood becomes purified and ritaliied by ex
haling its carbon into the air-cells, and absorb
ing oxygen from the air we breathe, and is then
again returned to the heart, from whence it goes
to nourish and sustain the system. But let us
suppose the lungs are obstructed by the presence
of tubercles, or by what is quiet as prejndicial,
viz : tenacious mucus in the air-tubes. In the
first case, the vessels through which the blood
mnst pass are obstructed; and in the second,
the tabes through which the air passes. The
consequence is, that the impure blood flows
with difficulty, and often stagnates in the deli
cate vessels of the obstructed part. We physi
cians say the lung is “congested," by which we
mean that the vessels are full almost to barsting,
like the vessels of the eye when it is bloodshot.
This condition oontinaes for a longer or shorter
period, and then the vessels relax and allow the
blood to ooze through their coats as fluids do
throagh a filter, and the patient coughs it np.
If the congestion was considerable, the quantity
of blood will be greater; but no matter how
much or how little, it indicates that the lungs
are in an unhealthy condition—in a word, that
the lungs are obstructed. It is the business and
the dnty of the physician to discover the nature
of the obstruction by a careful examination of
the chest, and then to prescribe proper means
for its removal.
It is a common belief that the blood comes
from the breaking of a blood vessel, and this
idea is entertained by many physicians. This
is no more true than it wonld be to say the bleed
ing from the nose comes from the breaking of
a blood vesseL The blood merely oozes throngh
the coats of the relaxed vessels; in medical
phrase, we say it is exhaled. Shonld a vessel of
any size actually break, and snch cases have oc
curred, though extremely rare, the patient neces
sarily bleeds to death, becanse neither medicine
nor surgery affords us any means by which we
can apply either a stypic, tort ion or the ligature.
Bat as this misfortune has never occurred to us
in the treatment of many thousands of cases of
consumptive disease, its danger is not worth
considering.
