THE RESULT.
The latest dispatches from the elections on
Tuesday last, indicate the triumph of the Re
publican party in all the four States Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Nebraska. In
Pennsylvania, the Democrats gain two Con
gressmen, giving them 8 to th® Republicans
15, and ono District is doubtful.
In Ohio, the Democrats olect six Congress
men, being a gain of three ; while the Repub
licans still havo thirteen.
In Indiana, the Democrats elect two, to the
Republicans nine. Republicans elect their
entire State tickets in each of these States, and
also in Nebraska.
These results have not been in consequence
of any neglect of duty on tho part of the De
mocracy ; all that energy and zeal could ac
complish was done, but in vain. A\ ell, tho
consciousness of duty done will bo some palli
ation to the bitterness of defeat.
Death of 11011. Howell Cobb.
The country was startled on last Friday, the
9th inst., by tho telegraphic announcement of
tho sudden death of this great man, whoso
name and memory aro inseparably interwoven
with the history of Georgia, who was stricken
down by the resistless Destroyer almost with
out warning, at tho hotel at which he was
stopping, in New York, on the morning of that
day.
Any eulogy would be superfluous, even wore
our pen capable of inditing it, for not to know
tho honors which encircled his illustrious name,
is ignorance inexcusable for a Georgian. The
following summary of prominent points in his
life, is taken from Lanman's work :
“Cobb, llowell.—lie was torn at Cherry Hill
in Jefferson county, Georgia, September 7,1815.
AVhen a child, his father removed to Athens,
Georgia, where he has since resided. lie grad
uated at Franklin College in 1834 ; he studied
law, and was admitted to the bar in 1836; in
1837 be received the appoitment Solicitor
General of the Western Circuit, which he held
four years, and he was elected a Representative
in Congress in 184*2, having been re-elected in
1844, 1846 and 1848 and during his latter term
he was elected Speaker. On his retirement
from Congress he was chosen Governor of Geor
gia. In 1855 he was again elected to Congress,
and on tho accession of Mr, Buchanan to the
Presidency Governor Cobb went into his Cab
inet as Secretary of the Treasury, lie took a
prominent part in tho rebellion of 1861, and
was a member of the so-called Confederate
Congress, aud a Brigadier General.”
The death of such a man is, at any time, a
public calamity ; but at such a time as the
present, to lose the counsels of so brilliant a
mind is cause r or mourning to every household
in our oppressed South. May tho Spirit of
llim who has bereft our people in His inscru
table providence, comfort the hearts He has
wounded, and sanctify the affliction to their
good, while in mercy He shall turn away the
evils which impend over our devoted land 1
AY hat a Democratic Administration will do.
As an inducement to tho many thousands of
Radicals who are troubled because of tbc pros
tration of industries occasioned by a continu
ance of Jacobin policy in the government of
the country, to vote for Democracy, the Albany
Argus says a Democratic Administration will
reduce the expenses of the Government §IOO,
000,000 a year below what it has been each
year for the past three years, and apply $50,000,
000 or $75,000,000 a year toward the reduction
of the national debt. It will gradually call in
tho greenback notes, more equally distribute
the banking capital of the country, and start
at once on the road to a resumption of specio
payment. It will reduce the debt and reduce
che taxes, reduce the price of sugar, flour, mo
lasses, tea, salt, clothing, toots and shoes, and,
in three years, make greenbacks as good as
gold. It will also secure equal and just taxa
tion of all property, and the payment of every
bond and every note issued by the Government
to the last dollar.— Ex.

Memphis, Tens'., Oct. 1-’, li-6>.
Mr. Editor : The physical appearance of
O'Ur State, And the political complexion of the
CoMntiy, present A forcible contrast. The gon
ial and golden sun of Indian Summer brightly
gilds tbc fading forest with mellow lustfe, and
the Divine Creator of all tilings appears t
have quitted, for a brief period, Hi- exalted
home amid the starry heavens, and t < dwell
upon earth.
The rapid influx of cotton, the more cheer
ful farmer, and tho increased activity of th -
city merchants, all express anew hope an 1 a
new commercial life. Yet, in utter disregard
of these benign influences, do wo behold Ten
nessee steadily sinking under its own political
weight, human vultures are feeding upon her
very vitals, and today she moans and groans
in agony, under the infamous heel of Brownlow
and his treacherous satellites.
The Southern poople are slumbering upon a
hissing, seething volcano, which is liable to
burst fortli at any moment in all its fury. The
negro, elated and inflated with self-importance,
poisoned by the oorruptteachings of miserable
Radical thieves, is -on the broad road to anni
hilation, and to the conversion of this beautiful
country into a vast field of unheard of blood
and carnage. There can be no possible doubt
but that it is the fixed purpose of the Radical
party to drive the South to desperation, to force
a collision of the races, and tho consequent
wreck and desolation, to come down with the
syren song of peace, and administer on the
pitiful residue of our estates. Charity may
suggest some excuse for the avaricious carpet
bagger, who was patriotic enough to quit his
country for his country's good, seeking to dis
place us; but, the apostate who turns his
hungry eye upon his brother’s goods, and who
soeks, through the mad passions of poor un
lettered people to rob and destroy his neighbor,
doserves not rest, oven within the ponderous
jaws of Hades, but like Salatfiael, forgotten of
his God, should live forever, and whipped naked
through the world with the scorpion sting a f
remorse. The South has displayed wonderful
heroism in the past, and wo would earnestly
urge further patience and endurance, until the
Democracy of the North shall rise in the majesty
of thoir strength aud strike from our manacled
limbs the torturing shackles of tyranny. Our
desolated homes cry for peace, the wail of tlie
widow aud orphan beg for peace, and the
shadowy ghosts of our murdered soldiers whis
per peace ; but, in the name of all that is jju.-t,
let that peace be a profound peace,—a peace
which brings an equality of States, brotherly
affection, serene onjoymont, and substantial
blessings. Not such peace us is promised by
tho Radical party. They cry “ peace, friends,
peace,” and yet, at this very moment, there are
four thousand stand of arms at our wharf to
he placed in the hands of the negroes of Ar
kansas to slay our brothers ! Not such peace
as GrantolFera; for becomes with olive branch
es masking bristling bayonets. Oh ! my poo
ple, his election will hut continue and intensify
the evils that now dwarf our manhood. Ten
nessee is bound hand and foot; her proud sons
nro denied the privileges granted to the mean
est negro ; and wo would urge you, Georgians,
to avert the impending storm ; work early,
work earnestly, work late to defeat the unholy
purposes of this wicked party.
Tennessee mourns with her sister, Georgia,
tho untimely death of the lion. Howell Conn,
lie was a true patriot, a wise statesman, and a
gallant soldier. No more will his clarion voice
ring out the cause of freedom. No more will
he be heard in the councils of the nation, and
no more will his strong arm ami manly form
brave the battles of his people. “ lleqnicscat

Fashions aro as varied this Fall as forest
leaves in Autumn. It is really amusing to
stand for an hour on Main street and watch
the absurdities of female fashion. The stately
dignity, grace, and beauty of “ sweet sixteen.”
have almost entirely given place, to tho feeble
and unsteady step of the octogenarian. Girls
used to walk, now they roll and totter and

capers as a lot of “ devil’s horse” on hot em

suddenly look in upon a street thronged with
tho “ Grecian bend,” you would swear that you
had been hurriedly rushed into a lunatic asy

It is really delightful to quit the silly gaye
ties aud extravagances of city life, aud even in
thought to wander back again to tho primitive
pleasures and beauties ol your little town.—
Little villages, to me, aie atoms of shattered
Paradise, and yours—the cradle aud grave of

AYe have been informed by a gentleman well

Hon. It. 11. Hill’s Letter* to the Tribune,
The following extracts front tho second let
ter of Mr. Ilill to the New York Tribune , will
show the style of his arguments and appeals
to the Radical readers of that sheet. It has
generally been thought a hopeless undertaking
to Attempt to convert the inhabitants of the
lower world to the love of the truth ; lut if
Mr. Hill s! all succeed in hi« unpromising field,
it must be confessed that there is room for
hope in ‘f.e kingdom of despair. That his
statements of facts are incontrovertible and
his arguments irresistible when presented to
uuprejudice! minds, is very true; but when
it is getermnied what intensity of light will
enable a blind man to see, it can be estimated
bow much argument will convince a fanatic
of Lis errors. Yet the resolute daring which
prompts Mr. Ilill in attacking Radicalism in
its own fortified strongholds must command
a Imiration. After thanking Air. Greeley ft>r
giving him an equal showing with the negro,
which he could not havo in the South, Mr.llill
says :
It is impossible for the Northern people to
conceive how adroitly aid yet how effectually
our utterances in the South aro distorted here,
and bow completely our meaning is often re
versed, and tho application of our wojds
changed. I find a wide spread idea at the
North that the election of General Grant will
insure peace anil quiet at the South. This
result the South will desire, but it is not pos
sible if General Grant, as President, shall
‘ maintain and porpetiuti” the Reconstruction
measures. The fault does not lie in the tem
per of the Southern whites, as is represented
at the North, but it lies in the character of
the Reconstruction policy mid its logical work
ings. These measures breed a dirty class of
office-seekers at tho hands of the negroes, who
in turn breed Camilla riots. Our tost white
pooplo are now doing all in their power to
prevent these results in hope of early relief
in tbc Presidential election. Wc do not re
gard the governments forced under these
Reconstruction measures as yet legal!;/ estab
lished. In our opinion the American people,
in this election, are to express their will on
that question. If General Grant shall be
elected Ihe curpct-bcggcrs and negro instiga
tors will feel sustained and encouraged. Our
white people will feel abandoned by the North,
and, 1 fear, will becomo hopeless and desper
ate. I turn from the picture of results. Al lien
you blame men for not keeping quiet and
cool in a lire, then blame the Southern whites
for results in that case. People of the North,
smr 113 now! On the other hand the election
of Seymour will ho accepted ns a decision of
the. American people that mtr governments are
not established ; (he few whites who now sup
port them from policy will abandon them ; al]
inducement to organize negroes as voters will
bo at an end : the people will be encouraged,
hopeful: good governments for all colors will
return, aud peace will be assured, and univer
sal and instantaneous Ido know that all our
industrial arrangements are affected by this
contingency. If Mr. Seymour i.i elected,
plantations now idle are to be worked, fcto
ri os built, and capital invested, and at fair,
good prices. If General Grant shall be elec
ted, bargains are to be rescinded, and none
will venture, except such as aro compelled for
a living, and have no other resource. 1 firmly
believe it will cost tho Federal Government
two hundred millions per annum to keep the
peace under these Reconstructed governments,
and then the peace will not, because it cannot,
be kept under them. "But will tbc destruction
of local pence and prosperity be all 7 I fear
not and believe not.
Omitting tbc body of the latter, which is an
appeal to the magnanimity of (lie North on
the behalf of constitutional liberty, he clo.-cs
the letter as follows :
How is it courageous to oppress the South
only because you can. But I warn you, the
same Government cannot administer force at the
South and freedom at the North. The time
has come when emphatically the country must
be all free or all slave. Ten millions of white
people—Americans—wearied with repeated
offers of Union ; exhausted with protestations
of good faith and sincerity ; voiceless with
vain pleadings for peace : hopeless of the re
demption of pledges ; impoverished with in
satiate exactions; sick with fruitless conces
sions to malignity; disturbed because they
will not submit to pillage by negroes
led on by strangers, and driven by
a terrible experience to the final conviction
that in themselves alone, is their protection — such
a l><’oj,!e, Jt sated by all mankind, are not row
uklkxs. Yours, very truly.

Grant’s Longest Speech.
A foreigner—a correspondent of the Inde
pendence Beige—recently paid a visit to Gen
eral Grant, at Galena. During the interview,
someone alluded to politics, w hen “the Gen
eral rejdieil with animation :”
‘■’The Southerners aro passionate and lose
out ol sight their own interests in serving the
Northern Copperheads, who will laugh ut them
when their aid is no longer required, it is
absolutely necessary to give political passions
sufficient time to pass away ; the young gener
ation comprehends its duties and interests bet
ter. Anew war is impossible, aud as to a wav
ol races ldo not believe in it. The Southern
negroes aro not so reckless nor so determined
as those in St. Domingo, and if ever the
whites should take tbc initiative in such a
conflict, tbc Federal army would soon put a
stop to it. The pacification of the country
will come by and by, and whatever occurs,
the North, which lias abolished slavery,
decreed the political and social equality of
tho blacks and whites, and opined the South,
hitherto closed to emigration, is always ready
to go to war, if unfortunately circumstances
should demand it. Jealous of" its work, the
world will never permit it to be imperilled
by any factious doings.”
Tho General should bear in mind, remaps
the Richmond Whig, that if the Southrons do
lose sight of their true interests in serving the
Copperheads, they arc tlie only people at the
North who profess any sympathy for them and
avow the wish to save them from the threat
ened African domination. The General him
self intimates in his speech that lie would
employ the sward to enforce “tho decreed
political and social equality of the blacks and
whites ;” which implies the extent of his
affection for the south.

command will admit, he will not permit ■« fl
peace so be broken, und that ho will notUf l

duty by technicalities of laws made when tin 1

neither anticipated or provided for.”
