It is remarkable Into what obscurity Celebrities ran fall.

This dropping out of the world’s notice in life is s curious feature of real fame, and illustrate* that even great qualities must be doing to be remembeied. A rather strong ezampie of this is the case of Mias O'Neill, who had Just died at an ad vanced nee. Fifty years ago she was the most famous tragic actress of her day. Her professional career was short, only lasting five years. She married and lett the stage in tbe zenith of her power. She was beautiful and a genius. Shelly ad mired her extravagantly. She ranked next to Mm. Siddona. Shi baa left primps a more enduring re membrance of herself lhan a protracted stage glluer would have done She leaves a multitudinous family of children. Her death bat re tilled her for a moment from her long obscurity, and revived tbe memory of her wonderful tragic triumphs Georgia Candidates.

That paper hits an enormous circulation, and a wide influence in the Radical party. Its cartoons have been circulated by tbe hundred thousand as cam paign documents. It has fought .the cam paign with a devilish skill and ability that, while exasperating by its venom, has yet commanded our wonder at its tact and vigor and ftioeesa. It has played to the extreme the great cord of sectionalism. It thus decisively and pointedly puts its own solution of the Radical success, which solution remarkably agrees with our own. And i; roust be remembered that the solution comes from a sagacious, bold, able exponent of representative Radicalism, knowing the temper of the people it tried, and giving judgment upon the efficacy of the weapons it successfully used to win its victory: It was the perception that the restoration of the Democratic party to power,notwith standing its blarney of acquiescence and "conversion/* would necessarily imperil every great interest in the country, and dis turb »U the settlements of the war, which explain* the over* helming result. The country has decided that the new Union shall continue to be confided to those who made it and who believe in it, and shall not be controlled by those who oppose it. a*»d who now acquiesce because they cannot help themselves. It has not been deceived by any cry of reconciliation, became it knows that there is no inequality in tbe letter or in the administration of the law, and that the alienation which follows a civil war noon the part of the vanquished is re movable only bv time and the steady en foreement of justice. Great mischief has been done by the false assertion of the coalition that “the North” is vindictive toward “the South,’ and that the rascalities in tbe governments of the 8omh< rn States are attributable to the Re publican National Administration- But the tr jth wf'l gradually penetrate the mist of falsehood raiaed r by the coalition, and the re- election of General Grant will tend to per fect peace by destroving in tbe late rebel mind the exasperating:hope of Democratic *«<vndencv. It shows the people of the Southern Slates that the Tmst majority of the American people know very well what they have won at sneh tremendous cost, and that they intend to maintain it to the last and the utmost, but without the least thought of ra- • vcnge,or the least touch of injustice.

The South Carolina R illroad is tha road about which John H. James mad* hi* railroad speech at the Stock holders ’ onventinn last February.

We heartily second the motion. Let the South, like the North, ac cept the situation. Let her resolve not to waste years in sighing for the impossible, but whatever the hand findeth to do, that do with all her might. This advice will eound.harsh!y, in'the ears of planters who cannot possibly grow enough to pay the taxes imposed on them by men who pay nothing under such mockeries of governments as those of Sooth Carolina and Arkansas—ye*, or even of Louiaiana as she has been, to say nothing of North Carolina under Holden, or Geoigia under the rule of her later fugitive. It isnard that men should be bidden to stop grumbling and go to work, when their earnings must be snatched away and devoured by such daughters of the horse-lacch as impose taxes upon the loflg suffering people of the States above named. Bat what else? The South must live, and she cannot live on sterile agitation. She has appealed for a kindlier usage, and it has been flatly denied hsr. Now, we are well assured that the chief victors in our late straggle are inclined to correct abuses aud satisfy just complaints to the extent of their power. We urge the just overborne whites of the South to meet every kindly overture with cordiality and trust. "Let us have peace” is a cuckoo song: but let us tiy to have it nevertheless. It were idle to prolong a contest when hope has utter ly fled. If the gentlemen of,'the South would give more heed to the education of their poor neighbors, especially the blacks—would treat them from this hour as fellow- citizens,having like interests and duties with themselves—it would not be possible to keep the ignorant voting for plunderers and peculators ever more. The gentlemen of the South may yet go to the polls and find their field-bands and cottage tenants voting with and not against them. This i3 a work of time; wherefore, it cannot be begun too soon. The idle, the dissolute, are not amenable to the influence of association with the better class; they choose other conversation. But even in Sou h Carolina, we must hope that there are blacks who do not choose to be taxed as even they must now be, when by conferring and acting with whites whom they know and respect, all but their infamy. The ’ate canvass has enlightened the North with regard to Southern rule, its causes and its perils. No one longer pretends that things are as they should be at the South, even iu.States like South Carolina, where Re- f ublican rale meets no serious opposition, i is quite generally understood that univer sal suffrage is not ail that is required; there must be a hearty accord between the edu- cated and the better class of manual laborers. Where these vote witji the roughs and plun derers, from apprehensi m of wroDg from the gentlemen and landholders, tho present is hopeless. We have said that the renewed administra tion must be impelled by its veiy strength, if by no higher consideration, to pour oil upon the wounds of the bouth. - It has no longer any need of Moses or Clayton or bpencer; only to hint what these most do and it will be done. We shall be sorely disappoint ed if General Grant does not soon, in his own way, let it be known at the Sooth that thieves may no longer hope for immunity from just retribution by shouting themselves hoarse in his praise, and stigraatixing those opposed to them iu rpKp’o Jt ;■ o. r «.i n i. r l.:~u them as rebels.

By the evening cf the ISth It had spread over nearly all of the Pacific States and Ter ritories, Utah and Nevada, and at midnight was pouring through the passes of tho Rocky Mountains. On Thursday the 14th, it descended into Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas and the Indian Territ ry. On Fri day morning it extended in unbroken mag nitude and magnificence from Oregon and Washington Territory, eastward through the great trough of depression of the Rocky Mountain backbone in Idaho and Montana, and stretched thence to Lower Missori and Lower Missippi valleys, and over tho western shoresof the the Mexican Gulf. This discovery will enable meteorologists to anticipate by many days the approach of winter. As it advances from the /Pacific coast eastward m the great current of west erly wind it serves to clear np the old mys tery of American winterstorms, showing that they originate in the rocky mountains, upon whose & Id and loftiest summits in Nevada, Utah, Colorado and Southern Wyoming the vapor-laden air of his wave, coming from over the warm Poe, is now seen to be con densed in the overwhelming snows of the 41st parallel. As this vast ajrial wave isprobably like the English wave, continued in successive undri- xations for two or three months, it may assist in explaining the comparatively high temper ature and light precipitation along Pugets Sound and eastward. during these unaccountable spells, she is never boisterious or demonstra- f, as is her wont, with r on hautines9.

Toombs’ address wilt convey but little idea of thed stinguished orator's effort We cannot refrain, however, from attempting a brief ab stract of liis remarks. After a graceful.and appropriate introduc- tien by Colonel Saffold, the President of the Pair Association, General Toombs tock tht stand, and after a few introductory remarks, in which be took occasion to refer to his planting experience, pursued his subject. Gold, said the eloquent speaker, is not wealth; all the gold in the world, were there nothing else, could not make a single ration for a knneiy man, nora fig leaf for anaked being. Theae things come from the earth alone. Onr last recourse is mother earth; hence ag riculture is the earliest pursuit of man. There can be no peace, no rest for mankind unless they know that where they sow they will reap. The great question we have to deal with is, how shall be bestowed our industry on this magnificent country of ours so as ui reap the greatest profit The first thing we have go. to do, is to sec what product Is best suited to the portion of the earth in which we live. Men have preached about. Southern, people cultivating hay as a money crop; about tbeir.rehing *0 manner of Ibings instead of cotton, but ex perience has taught us that cotton 1» the peculiar product of this country; It made It rich and powerful; no country ever rose to wealth and power with the rapidity of the South. Cotton, then, is the product of out country, it is this to which our agricultural ists must look mainly..for-wealth, and the S uestion for us is, how can we make it iieaply ? The speaker then went-on to discuss tho various causes of tho decay of the South since nan habitual reserve. Whatever she may have communicated to him has been imparted under the seal of strict secreay, which, of course, he religiously observes. Mr. Schoonmaker, however, states that ere many months shall have passed, there may possibly be disclosures given to the onblic in regard toller case which will present her in a different light to that in which she now stands, and perhaps materially alter pnblic opinion in her favor. It should be mentioned that the chaplain who attended her trial has always expressed a belief in li- r entire icnocence of the fearful crime for which she was convicted. The only way in which she has alluded to the tragedy when conversing with other of the prison officials was by carelessly remarking, “If 1 am guilty, I have already been severely punished.” She has pcrsilsently refused to disclose any- thing relating to her previous domestic his tory and family connections, saying, “If my freedom depends on telling who my relatives are, I will die in prison.” It is believed, however, that she is allied to either in England or Ireland. She shrinks from the gsze of strangers, bnt with those around her she is ravariabiyjmodest aud lady like in her demeanor. While clinging to the hope of being ultimately pardoned, she still believes herself to be a victim of political animosity and ambition. It will doubtless be remembered by many readers of the Herald that tbe crime charged l and 88 the y all expected it to fall outside. tSTThe Boston tire insurance companies* losses sum up $48,572,209.

Editors Constitution: Permit me through the columns of your wide-spread journal to state.that the exercises of the above institu tion will open on the first day of January next, under the management of H< n. David W. Lewis, of Sparta. He will be assisted by the ablest teachers which can be procured. Thus, after a long and tiresome (flirt on the part of its friends, this new educational enterprise is about to start on a career of usefulness, as we hope. The indications are that it will open with more thin one hundred pupils. Free education is now offered to the youth of Georgia, without regard to county ines, or representation in the Legislature. Provision wiU be made to have all taught who may come. The building is capable of accommodating five hundred students with out the least inconvenience or crowding. The openiug of this new industrial school marks an era in the history of eduiatioi in Georgia, especially in upper Georgia. H^re, the student can pursue a course upon the most economical plan. Students will be re quired to dress in the substantial clothing made in the country. The use of home-made clothing—jeans and other fabrics—will be encouraged. The object of the trustee has been to furnish an«insli;ution of learning where all can be taught well, and where there can be no distinctions as to dress. Neatness will always be required, at the same time the only outfit necessary for the pupil, when ho or she leaves home, (for you see this offer of free education is open to young ladies too) will only be such wearing apparel as frugal mothers can prepare at home. Thus encour aging home enterprise, home looms, and home industiy. If we succted—and we hope for nothing else—our school will be the precursor of 40 juo* 42 *14 fuuuun pans ui iuc State. Free e** ttion is practicable to all, and if our G • J Assembly, which soon convenes, wil, Jly help a little, where personal effort Las done much, Georgia will soon step to the front, and point with pride to her educational system, and most of all, with still greater pride, to her children, who have so long been without help of this sort. Send us your boys and girls! We promise to return them to you benefltted,both in mind and in body, if good teachers and a htallhful climate will bring about such happy re sults.

What has become of ourjndustry f First and fore most, the gigantic robberies of the United States government has taken from us millions, where they have taxed us, directly in the face of the law, on cotton; thousands have gone into the pockets of their office holders under various pretexts, that never reached the Treas ury. Then the carpet-bag governments thrust on ns have, by so-called schemes of improvement, which were in reality nothing put schemes of plunder, taken millions more torm us, A large portion of this enormous sliki has been made by the brawny arms of the white people of the South. The rule has always been for the ern- querer to plunder the conquered, and' most rigidly has it been applied to the Southern people. Deconstruction meant nothing practically for the South, but tho protec tion of the thief and carpet-bagger at the expense of the people. When our Legis latures were pnt into the hands of these adventurers, then began onr Iliad of woes But as oiuch aa we have lost by tho rob beries of our enemies, the decay of onr country is not altogether due to this cause. We ourselves are in a great measure respon sible for our condition. We have used our figures falsely. Our. calculations have all been made on a false basis. Gen. Toombs then proceeded to argue the complete fallacy of the idea that ii is econo mical to buy com with the proceeds of cot ton. If we do this, the last one of us will go to the poor house. No man nuts more than four days to the acre in a year on his com crop, but yon are engaged three hundred days on cotton. With the small amount of work re quired to make com here at home, can any man in his senses believe that It is cheaper fur him to pay the high rates of interest, commissions and freight that he is compelled to pay for Western grain ? Wc must cheaiien tho motive power on onr plantations, lie had seen in Cuba, oxen used al most exclusively. It was the cheapest motive power that could be found, for grass is the principle food required to sustain them. The only people who are getting rich farm ing in the South, are those who make their farms nearly as self-sustaining as possible. All the laborer's food must come from the planter at last, and the best way to get it is to raise it. The great thing needed is protection. Wc must know tha; wc are men. Wc must pro tect ourselves from wrong and robbery, from whatsoever source, ask for protection from the powers, and if it la not given, why then, take it.

Not satisfied with one' refusal, the pc’-se vering cormorants returned to the charge and Insisted in a second intetview on Grant’s granting their request. They plead clo- qnectly. - They pressed upon Grant their ser vices.

The President listened to this remarkable harangue with his usual composure, standing meanwhile with one hand leaning on his office table and tho other thrown behind him. When the Mayor finished tho Presi dent raised his head, looked steacily at the offlce-aeeklng delegation for a moment, and spoke substantially as follows: OentUmm: I do not well see how it would ha 'toper for me to set aside the .rales and regmauons of the civil service.

Editors Constitution : A sad accident hap* pened here yesterday, which disturbed the usual quiet of the village. The old college chapel is being torn down for the purpose of erecting a new building on the same site. The work has gone on for some time and the two upper stories of the building have been taken down. Yesterday afternoon abont three o’clock the workmen were undermining a piece of wall at one corner of the building against Henrietta Robinson was that of caus ing the deaths of Timothy Lanagan, the keeper of a grocery store at Troy, New York, and also of Catherine Lubee, an unmarried woman, by ADMINISTERING ARSENIC IN ALE daring the month of May, 1853. In order to illustrate the disposition of the ai*cused it will only be necessary to quote the following incident, which was published in one of the Troy newspapers at the time of its occur rence: "The prisoner was at this time in jail, awaiting her trial, and as usual, at the close of the Sessions, the grand jury visited the jail for the purpose of seeing its inmates. They visited the different departments and found everything clean and in good order. Finally the jailer (Mr. Hegtman) offered to conduct them to the room of Mrs. Robinson, in compliance with their particular request, as each one of them was very anxious to see her. The door was opened, and the grand jury with much dignity walked in. They surrounded a large rocking chair, in which SHE SAT CLOSELY VEILED. Some of them very;’politely requested her to withdraw it; she made. no response what ever, but sat perfectly silent and motionless. Their anxiety was so great that they requested the jailor to remove the veil, which he re spectfully declined to do. Finally, one of the jury stepped up and removed it himself, when, to their great surprise, no Mrs. Robin son was there, bnt, on the contrary, a silk they were standing just under it on the in- ride of the building. Tbe work of under mining had gone on for some time, when some of the students who were looking on saw that the wall was falling on the inside. They shouted to the men to get out of the way. All of them had time to escape but two, who were caried down by tbe falling mass. The wall fell with a fearful crash and burst through two floors to the ground. The students immediately rushed in to extricate the men, though everybody knew they most have perished. One of the unfortunate per sons was a white bov about eighteen years old by the name of Thompson: the other was a negro man. The body of the negro was found terribly mangled, and lying be neath a huge fragment of the wall/ His chest was mashed in and a leg and arm hor ribly crashed^ The white boy was found with his head completely mashed to pieces— the half of his skull was lying open and nearly all his brain was found outride on the bricks. His body did not seem to be injured. Both of the dead rneu were dragged out aud presented a sickening spectacle. The negro lived here. The white boy was very little known He has afatber and two or three sisters living in Atlanta. He was decently buried to day, nearly all the citizens and students attending.

Search was instantly made. A slight titter was heard proceeding from under the bed. Th*s curtain was raised, and there she lay, so full of laughter that she could hardly contain herself. On her subsequent trial tbe plea of insani ty was set np in her behalf, much against her wishes, and after one of her counsel had concluded an able argument, which lasted five hours, the prisoner leaned forward and whispered to him the following equivocal compliment: “Avery able speech, Mr. Town send ; but you might have said all that was necessary m fifteen minutes. The idea of my insanity is absurd.” When 8KNTENCE OF DEATH was passed upon her by Judge Harris, who t in concluding, invoked the interpoeition of tbe Almighty - in behalf of her soul, the pris oner sprang to her feet,and, facing the cour\ said with emphasis, "You had tetter pray for your own soul,” adding. "Judge Harris, may the Judge of Judges be your judge.” Bhe was then removed from court, and her sentence was several months afterwards commuted to i nprisonment for life. Henrietta Robinson received the title of The Veiled Murderess,” from the circum stance that, during her examination and trial, she was so closely shrouded in her veil as not to be easily idtmuil-d. On these occasions several aUo u ere made to remove the veil, huts ur resisted them all, and even when co u do so by order of tbe Court she by her hands or in some other way to t uiiiy scieen her somewhat handsome features. 'he history of the world shows that the peo ple always follow the line of their latitude. The Southern planter goes southward to th# Colton States—the German goes to wheat and turnips. Where did our ancestors come from? From Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia. Many of my people went to Ma rengo county in this State, for it was sup posed to the very place where Adam was turned loose, but 1 suppose the Devil is turned loose there now. You will have to rely on yourselves and Cuffee. Skilled labor will come of its own accord; bnt you will never get anything but worthless labor if you have to bring it here. You will increase sufficiently fast to populate the country as thick as it need be. There was never a greater error than to suppose that excessive population produced prosperi ty. England is one of the most populous countries—her rich people are the richest and her poor people are the poorest in the world. This is always the case in densely populated • ountries; 'the rich get richer anu the poor get poorer. in conclusion, General Toombs made an eloquent appeal against the materialism of the age. Cease, fellow-citizens, said he, thinking that a man’s happiness consists in what he possesses. With this subject as his theme, the eloquent gentleman made a most earnest and heart-thrilling appeal for truth aud honesty and contentment, >.s opposed to the helter-skelter scramble for wealth, re gardless of the means by which it is acquired, which is fast becoming the national sin. impeded by this sad accident. It is impossi ble to get any of the negroes here to work on the bail ding. We hope, however, that labor will be secured and the work soon completed. Yours respectfully, Phineah.

Several Chicago cap italists are among the number. However, the greater number of investors are Califor nians, and man}- San Franciscoans. Besides the Texas Pacific, San Diego, is soon to have two other railroads; one to San Bernardino, opening up a very rich agricul tural country, and one to Los Angeles, there to connect with the road to San Francisco. The former road is alreaity being constructed; the latter will soon be commenced. All the wine and wool of Los Angeles county sent via Panama to New York, must be shipped at San Diego as well as that of San Bernar dino and San Diego counties. A day or two since, while the train from here, on the Louisville and Nashville Road, was running at its usual rate of speed, a few miles rorth of Rich Pond, a negro girl at- tempted to cross tbe track* and was caught opon the cow-catcher. The velocity of the engine was so great that, inntead of being thrown from the track, she was thrown neck against the pilot, where she found a lodgement nntil some of the hands about the train, seeing the accident, ran forward to the engine and walked out upon the railing to her relief, expecting to find her at least very badly hurt. Their sur prise was great upon reaching the pilot to find the girl lying quietly and entirely unin jured upon the pilot, and apparently enjoying the ride. The engiue sped on, and she was carried thus to the next station, a distance of four miles, and on arriving there she jumped from her riding place and exclaimed: "DIs is just tbe place I wanted to come to,” and went on her way rejoicing.—Nashtitte Baiv ntr. ABBEVILLE AGAIN IN ASHES A Repetition of tbe Disaster of Jana- Fiom the Charleston News.] - Abbeville, November 17. Another terrible fire has devastated Abbe ville. We have hardly yet recovered from the conflagration of that night of horrors in last January, when the Marshall House and Raid on Broadway Concert Saloons.— The one hundred and sixty-eix girls who were arrested by the police at a late hour last night, in nine of the principal concert saloons of Broadway, spent the remainder of the night in the station house, amid a strange hubbub of weeping and noisy ribaldry. They were permitted to go unpunished by the Police Justice to-day, but the well dressed scoundrels who run the hells were placed under bonds for trial.

Unbli est portion of our town. The shrill cry of "lire” roused the inhabitants at about one o’clock this morninv, and the fire raged until late this afternoon. The streets have been filled with wrecks of burn ing buildings piles of merchandise rescued from destruction, flying families startled from their slumber by the spread of the fl ones, and the day has been one of great excitement.' iiie new coart house is burned, and with it have been destroyed all the books and records of the various county officers, including the offices of the sheriff, Clerk of Court and County Commissioners. This will cause incalculable confusion in the settlement of accounts, the trial of criminal cases, and the adjustment of land boundaries. It is impossible now to give all the losses in detail, butthe general result may be stated as follows: One-fourth of the finest business part of Abbeville, which was fast rising from the ashes of last winter's conflagration, has again been destroyed, »nd the loss in buildings and merchandise will not fail short of $50,000. Of this amount perhaps one-half is covered by in surance, mostly in Southern com panies. Many of the losers are ruined others are almost covered by their insurance. The blow is a crushing one, and it would al most seem that a terrible fatality attends the old town of Abbeville. The merchants, how ever, are undaunted even by this double dis aster, aud if their insurances prove good most of them will rebuild. H.

To-day while out riding, I met a party of Utcs on their way to their lodges on Smilh’a fork. They were all well mounted, aud, as they Jogged along over the sage-brush plain, looked quaint enough. There were three women and a boy, all traveling in Indian file, as it is called. First came the leader— evidently an Indian queen—riding astride ot her horse, and decked out in all the savage finery imaginable—beads and bcad-work, red broadcloth, red flannel, bockBkin fringes; and all; while aronnd the neck of her hoisn were two large strings of bells which rattled merrily. Nextcamethebqy.nodoubtwasher son; and then two other squaws, also riding astride of their horses, who were tho vassals, or hangers-on, of her ladyship. Icannotsay much in favor of the beauty of. the party; but one thing is certain, and that is, they considered themselves very important person ages. Tbe saddles had high pommels and cantlcs, and the Indian woman seemed almost buried np in them, llcr majesty used her quirt, or whip, unsparingly, and her horse at tended to his business with the greatest as- siduiy. They wore their blankets over their heads, and seemed to feel that this was in deed a notable array of the womanhood . f the nation.
