"IET US HAVE PEACE. ’
Nothing is more desirable to a civilized com
munity than the enjoyment of penco with the
protection of individual rights, civil and reli
gious. If this were the meaning of the aspi
ration of the Radical candidate in his acceptance
of the nominatiou for the Presidency, it would
be approved by the people. But the peace
proposed by that party is not the quietness of
constitutional liberty secured by just laws.—
acknowledge no rcstiictions to their ma
licious action. The pcaco they offer to the
people is the same that the wolf gives to the
lamb—the peace of death.
Their economical administration of the gov
ernment has cost the people in the three years
of profound peace since the close of the war,
$1,G00,000,000, while the total expenses of the
government for the seventy three years from
its formation, to their accession to power was
$1,400,000,000. So that Radical economy
means wasting in three years $200,000,000
more than the entire expenses of the govern
ment rightly administered for seventy-three
years. The assassin whispers “ peace /” ns he
creeps to your bedside at midnight, and Gen.
Grant says “peace!” while his party arc mur
dering American liberty in the form of law.
They would have the people be quiet while
all the rights of freemen are wrested from
them by an unlawful band of conspirators, who
claim to be the Congress, while they do not
represent the people, and arrogate the power
to overrule the Executive and Judicial branches
of the government. This is the peace of des
potism.
They call for peace, while by their laws it is
a felony in the State of Arkansas to preach the
gospel of the Son of God. It is ordered by
their laws that our noblo old State shall never
be allowed, even by a convention ot her people,
to pay the widows and orphans in her midst
the money shq has borrowed from them.
How these canting hypocrites yearn for peace
while they require the people to declare that
every man whom they have heretofore delight
ed to honor, shall hereafter he forever disqual
ified from holding any office in their gift.
llow ardently does Grant himself desire
peace, while he falsifies his word confirmed by
his honor as a soldier, pledged when Gen. Lee
surrendered that stainless sword, from receiving
which his unworthy hand recoiled, a* conscious
guilt shrinks in the presence of spotless purity.
Ah! General Grant! Is conscience already
visiting on you the retribution for your perfidy!
That longing for peace can never be gratified
while the stain of your guilt remains. If it be
not casting pearls before swine, we would re
mind you that the pen of Inspiration has
recorded that ‘‘The wicked are like the troubled
sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up
mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my
God, to the wicked
“Let us have peace!” So Dives prayed when
tormented in endless flame, he saw Lazarus
afar off in Abraham’s bosom. So doubtless
prayed Preston King tormented by tho ghost
of the murdered Mrs. Surratt; the same prayer
has doubtless been breathed by thousands of
other criminals from the first fratricide to the
last criminal that has expiated his crime on
the gallows or by suicide; but still the prayer
of the wicked is abomination to the Lord. Can
it be possible that the great Butcher is tor
mented before his time?
Flunking to Freedmen.
In this section wo have not hoard much said
by Democratic speakers .which was calculated
to repel the freedmen ; hut it would be well
to take the trouble to speak to them and ex
plain the true unity of interest which binds
them to us. Speaking on this subject the
Athens Watchman expresses the sound policy
as follows :
Every address to the freedmen we have
heard, except that of Mr. Peeples, has had a
tendency to repel them. If our speakers can
not say any thing to encourage them in voting
the Democratic ticket, in Heaven’s name, let
them say nothing at all. We cannot favor
the policy of driving them ofF. The
ballot !»ox lias been thrust upon them—they
will vote whether we believe in it or not—
their votes will count as much as anybody’s.
They are interested in good government. Many
of them will vote for Seymour and Blair—
thousands of them would do so, if encouraged
to pursue that course. In Southern Geor
gia they voted with their real friends, the
whites, at the last election—they will do so
again. They would do so here, if they had
any encouragement. They know how con
temptible the Bureau and scalawag crowd are
—they feel a perfect contempt for them, and
would now vote with their only turn; friends if
managed properly. Why, then, labor so hard
to drive them off 1 ?
The Democrat.
By the world renowned energy of the Im
mortal “Brick” Pomeroy, a new Daily under
this title was issued on Saturday last, in the
city of. New York. Most enterprises cf this
sort arc started as experiments, this is stamped
in its very incipiency as n success, because the
name of its editor and proprietor is a synonym
for power and ability. AVhii 1 0 it is kept up to
the high standard of excellence at which it
bus taken its position, it is hound to meet the
public approbation. The following extract
from its Salutatory, has the true ring and hears
unmistahle iparks of the vigorous pen of M.
M. Pomeroy :
“Our aim is to publish a Democratic paper
that will reflect the sentiment of the Democra
cy of the United States. We shall speak the
sentiments of the people. The Democrat will
ho unmistakably Democratic at all times and
under all circumstances. It will follow the
star of principle, no matter how many meteors
of patronage flash athwart the sky. It will
bo no society, or ring, fir clique organ, but a
defender of the interest of the peoplo—the
working men of the land—of the rights of
States, regardless of consequences. Ours is a
war against despotism, usurpation of power,
official inconi potency, administrative extrava
gance, official and political corruption in our
own or other party, and from this position,
threats, promises, nor inducements shall ever
drive us.”
Dignity.
The Honorable (?) assemblage convened by
order of (Jen. Meade, at the instigation of the
indescribably despicable Joe. Brown, seems
disposed to render itself ridiculous by putting
on airs and claiming the dignity w hich at
taches to real representatives of the people.
On the 17th inst., one Mr. Adkins misrep
resenting the 10th District, recommended to
expel from his place the Reporter of the Con
stitution because that paper had published a
paragraph relative to his persuading the ne
groes to prepare for war, and arm them,
solves. The Senate failing to feel the impor
tance of protecting his dignity by punishing
one of the Tiblest papers in the State for re
porting him truthfully, rejected his resolution,
whereupon the Constitution compliments his
lofty dignity after the following style:
Dignity
The “Dirty Dogs.”— When it is known that
the wife and daughters of the “dirty dog” Ad
kins, recently broke up their dining-room
chairs over his filthy carcass, for attempting
to force social equality with Boh Cromly, (ne
gro), at their table, there will be no surprise
at his puny effort to exelude us from the Sen
ate Chamber, and less, that he was not cow
hided on leaving the capitol.
Nor is it surprising, that a self-acknowledged
seducer and boastful instigator of negro insur
rection, should fancy the ghost of Ashburn
beckoning him downward to the hungry jaws
of perdition. 0
Rough but Graphic.
Col. E. 11. Townley, late of the Federal
army, and a prominent convert from Radical
ism, made a facetious speech beforo the Demo
cratic Club at Baltimore, a few nights since.
Ilis experience of army life is edifying, and
we extract a leaf from it for public delectation.
Read this:
“I will bet that they will not got a Jew vote.
I was there when that order was issued. It
was just before the Yazoo Pass expedition at
Helena. Every. Jew was put ashore. A Jew
friend of mine was placed at night on the
banks of the river with $7,000 worth of goods.
In the morning there was not a remnant of his
property left. Why did they send them baek?
Was it because they feared their honesty
and patriotism? No; because some generals
were fearful that somebody would get more
cotton than they did. I have seen officers buy
whole steamboat loads at twenty-five cents a
a bale. I once bought thirty-six bales from a
negro for $2,50, and thought I was paying a
high price. [Laughter.] It was worth sixty
five cents a pound.
The war was for plunder ana to dissolve the
Union. I tell you so because I was in it. I
never took a red-hot stove, but I waited one
day four hours for one to cool. [Laughter.]
I happened to turn my back tor a minute and"
somo one had taken it away,"
O, Union! O, Constitution! 0, old flag!—
What crimes were committed in your name!

Grant. —Our wide awake Chicago corres
pondent tells a good story about Grant’s visit
to Chicago. He says : General Grant, as you
know, has been to Chicago, and Chicago did
not turn out “muchly” to meet him. Chicago
was the place where he received his nomina
tion ; it was the place where Radical delegates
met to do him honor, by selecting him as the
candidate of their party ; but when he came
there for the first time after his nomination,
the great city was as “mum” as Grant him
self. The great city did not change its usual
gait There was no ecstasy, no noise, and “not
a drum was heard,” and the enthusiasm was
confined to one small boy who shouted “That’s
General Grant. Have a paper sir?”— N. Y.
Democrat.
A Fact for Farmers. —lt may not be gen
erally known that the seed of the sunflower is
the most infallible remedy yet discovered for
the speedy cure of founder in horses. The
directions, which we glean from a brief article
upon the subject in the Essex Danner, are:
“Immediately on discovering that your horse
is foundered, mix about a pint of the whole
seed in his food, and it will perfect a cure.—
Sunflowers are easily grown alongside of fences
and in out-of-the-way places, where they take
up but little room. The seed when fed in small
quantities to the horse is very healthy, giving
to the hair a peculiar gloss. It is a diuretic in
its tendency. Fowls like it much, and thrive
on it.
The enthusiasm for Grant is very strong in
St. Louis. Upon his arrival there recently,
ho was dunned by an enthusiastic bar-keeper
for $8.50, and interest for about ten years.
The . -1: !i in u Nutshe'J.
A Wilmington, (N. C.) paper says the fol
lowing reply was made by an intelligent ne
gro to a oarget-bagger who had lectured him
on his Democratic proclivities, as he had become
a member of the Democratic party.
“Under your teaching (said the nejjp’O to the
carpet-bagger) we have alienated from us the
mass of the white peoplo North, us well as
South ; you huve got tho offices and emolu
ments, while we have done tho work and stand
out in the eohl.. For one, lam done with you."
There spoke a sensible African/ It was the
whole truth in a nutshell; and there arc many,
very many such who entertain the same opin
ion of the Radical carpet baggers, and who,
if they have not already, will soon come out
from, and refuse any longer to be controlled
by the pestiferous set who have dono so much
harm to the negro by stirring up strife between
him and his best friend, the white man, and
all for the sake of the spoils of office. Color
ed men of Georgia profit by tho example of
your colored North Carolina brother. Tell
the carpet-baggers, as be did, “For one, I am
done with vou.”— At. Intel.
What a Freedman can Do.—We commend
the following from tho Galveston (Texas) News
of the sth instant, to the attentive perusal of
freedmen :
The first hale of new cotton, shipped di
rect to this place, came by railroad last evening
consigned to A. Sessums & Cos. We under
stand that is was from Bastrop county, and
was part of the crop of Abe Gilmore, (colored.)
Judging from the sample laid on our desk, the
cotton would he classed as strict middling.
We think Abe is entitles! to the silver pitcher,
anil wo believe the enterprising firm to whom
the cotton was consigned in this city will so
decide.
The same journal of the following day,
says:
As wo had anticipated, Abe Gilmore (color
ed,) who sent the first bale of new cotton of
the present crop direct to this city, was the
recipient this morning of a handsome pitcher
and two silver goblets, presented by A. Sea
sums & Cos. The articles were purchased at
M. W. Shaw’s, on Tremont street. It gives
us pleasure to chronicle this evidence of liber
ality on the part of one of our largest cotton
firms, and we are not at all sorry that a wor
thy and industrious freednian was the fortu
nate individual to reap the benefit.
What Abe Gilmore has done other freedmen
can do by attending to their legitimate busi
ness, and not leaving their work every week
to go to cities and towns to engage in torch
light processions and other demonstrations,
for the purpose of elevating to office unscru'
pulous carpet-baggers.
Changes. —We are rejoiced to learn that
hundreds and thousands in Northeast Georgia,
who voted with the. Radical party on account
of “Relief” falsely so-called, but' who. as we
then insisted, had no sympathy whatever with
Radicalism—are now wheeling into line, and
will zealously support Seymour and Blair.
This is nothing more than wo expected.—
Its not usual for men who have been cheated
and swindled, to sustain those who have abused
their confidence.
When we warned our readers that tho Brad
ley Convention were wilfully and knowingly
perpetrating a fraud upon the people, because
they knew as well as wc did that the Radical
Congress would strike out the so-called relief
clause in the Constitution, the Radical leader
told the people that we were trying to deceive
them—that we spoke without authority. Tho
peoplo have had an opportunity of testing tho
matter, they now know who lied, and not only
despise those who cheated them by inserting
the relief clause, but feel, equal contempt fur
those who deceived them after they had been
faithfully warned.
It is no wonder that those thus deceived
should turn with loathing and disgust from the
party for which they felt no affinity at first.
We expect to see the Radical party of N. E.
Georgia “grow small by degrees and beauti
fully less.”— Athens Watchman.
Death of the Largest Man in Kentucky.
—A correspondent of the Louisville Courier
says:
1 will give you a small sketch of the life and
death of the largest man, perhaps, that ever
lived in the State of Kentucky. William G.
Willis died at a small village in Boone county
by the name of Bullittsville, on Wednesday,
the 20th of July, of apoplexy, lie was sick
but a few hours, lie was without doubt tho
largest man in the State, weighing five hun
dred pounds on the day he died. His average
weight varied during the last few years from
five hundred and twenty down as low as four
hundred and ninety poutfds, hut hewas weigh
ing even five hundred pounds at the time of
his death. Ilis height was about six feet.—
He was keeping a toll-gate at the time of his
death, and the passers-by had to go to him to
pay their toll in the place of him going to
them. Ileof late years has been in Barnum’s
Museum, in New York, but left there about
the time tho museum was burned last fall.
New Phase or the War of Races. —ln the
Chattanooga Republican, a journal black
enough in Radicalism to do no injustice to the
colored race, we find the following item, which
may be set down as one of the “signs of the
times
Wheat Bi rni.vg. —We learned yesterday
that two colored men in Rhea county, after
procuring matches, lately went to the wheat
stacks of three different citizens, fired them
and burned them up. No cause for this
strange lawless conduct is known by the citi
zens in the community. They were arrested
and lodged in jail to await trial.
We have all heard of gold and silver wed

Important to Distillers.
The following letter from the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, to Edgar Needham, of
Ky., will ho of interest to all distillers :
TKE.ls'v DEFT, OFFICE OF INT'i. REV., )
Washington, Aug. 1, 1868. J
Sir: In order that the survey of distilleries
requiod to ho made by section 10 of the act
of-July 20, 1868, may he corroctly made, I
dad re ttTcal! vouif attention, especially to tho
provisions of tncsection referred to, in con
riemon with the provision of section 13 and of
section 20. Section 10 calls for an estimate
and determination of the true producing ca
pacity of each distillery; section 20 provides
for an assessment in case the returns of the
distiller show the production of a less quantity
than eighty per centum of such producing ca
pacity. Section 13 imposes a tax of two (2)
dollars per day upon each distiller whose dis
tiller) - has an aggregate capacity for mashing
and fermenting twenty bushels of grain or less,
or sixty gallons of molasses or less in twenty
four hours. 3'hat several provisions
may be properly teamed into effect, you will
in making your survey' determine, separately,
first the true produellij Apacity of tbe distil
lery, or in other words, the quantity of spirits
stated in proof gallons that can ho produced
in twenty-fbur hours in such distillery, and
next the number of bushels of grain or gallons
of molasses which can be mashed and fermen
ted in twenty-four hours.
Very Respectfully.

President Johnson.
The rumor that President Johnson is con
stantly under the influence of liquor is a base
falsehood, gotten up by disappointed office
seekers.
We learn from tbe very highest private au
thority, that the President seldom indulges
even in a glass of wine, and that the use of
whisky is entirely ignored by him at the
“White House.” While we disagree with the
President, in many respects, we cannot allow
him to ho slandered in this way, without en
tering our solemn protest. It is all wrong,
and the people who fail to respect authority
are in the broad road to bankruptcy and ruin.

What Industry will Do.—“ There is a boy
seventeen years old living in a county below
Macon, who has twenty-one acres planted in
cotton, lie hired one man early in the spring,
prepared the land, bought about. SIOO worth
of guano and put upon it. After getting it
planted he started to school, which he has
regularly attended during the summer, with
the exception of about two weeks, which his
crop required. He works an hour or two-ev
ery morning, in the afternoon, and every Sat
urday. His cotton is looking very fine, and
he expects to get at least fifteen bales off the
the twenty-one acres. Estimating each hale
at 500 pounds, and that he get twenty
five cents per pound, tho gross receipts will
be $1,875. Ilis entire expense including gu
ano will not be over SSO0 —which will leave
$1,375 ns the net earning" of tins school boy.
Give him the benefit of every doubt, and be
will surely make Si, ooo clear. We commend
this to young men mouuning over their fate,
complaining that they can get nothing to do,
and can make no money.”— Journal ib Mes

Montana, following in the wake of Oregon
and Kentucky, has given a largely increased
Democratic majority. Everywhere—in every
direction whence comes the news of an elec

cratic gains. Over fifteen hundred gain in
Oregon, in one year, in a voting population of

As alast resort for getting husbands during

London originated a moonlight picnic, which
came off at the Fair Grounds on Thursday
evening. The night was a lovely one, the
crowd in attendance large, and the whole af
fair a decided success. Refreshments were
taken to the grounds by the girls, and a fine
cotillon hand furnished music at one of the
halls, where dancing was kept up until the
small hours. Whether the moonlight walks,
talks and drives had the effect to bring matters
to “business,” remains to be seen.— London

him withip a year past :
Tilton—“Grant is a drunkard.”
Phillips—“ Grant is as brainless as bis sad

Mrs. Stanton —“Grant says nothing, and
knows less than nothing."
Wilson —“l will never, so help me God, sup

of ideas and a statesman.”
Colfax—“l declare in advance that nodoubt

will subscribe to the white-washing report of
this man (Grant), who has joined his testimo

Curtis—“ Only a man in favor of negro
suffrage can command my vote.” Grant de
clares “negro suffrage means a war of races.”
Old Thad.—“ Never ask mo to support a

party or parties. On the same night Mr.
Brown was also shot at. And as the up-freight
train was passing over the switch, near Thom

in tho face. A couple of colored men, fugi

Wife Shooting.— The Carmel, N. s'. Courier
gives us anew method of obtaining divorces,
in that section, in this style: “Still another

individual lives in Troy. It strikes n« that
this method of getting a divorce is getting to

The Girls.— Encourage your girls to exer
cise. Let them race round tho garden till il.ey
are married, and then race round after their
own children. Let them jump rope and play
battledore on tho piazza. Praise them for
quick and graceful motions. Let them rest
when tired, but don’t allow listless movements
about their work. Iflreuse work is in their
vvny, it is better for them to labor bard tor one
hour and rest oro, then to take tip the two by
slow performance. There is a great deal of
strength and spirit saved by knowing how
to work. I know that to go slowly about dus
ting, sweeping, ironing a whole forenoon,
is tiresome as well as dull, hut to do either of
these things brisklv, turns it into a good exer
cise. Quick work is not so fatiguing as slow.
