The Montgomery Advertiser. TVe call the attention of our readers to- to a most extraordnary editorial(of the GtU inst.) taken from the paper whose pftme stands at the head of this article. It will bo found in full in another column. Upon the subject, we have a few things to say to onr cotemporary of Montgomery, Alabama. First then, we did think that the diff erence between that Journal and Mr. Stephens was a vast deed “more, than the were school-boy conundrum of who slruc7c Billy Patterson,” and shall be consider ably gratified if the sequel shall prove jiis present understanding of it to be correct. We 'have, heretofore, understood the Advertiser as fully indorsing the Ninth Resolution of the Pennsylvania Harris burg Convention, against which we have been warring—warring to the knife—and still so war. That Eesolution contains, and expresses, the essence of the creed which the Advertiser has maintained will be adopted by the Democratic Party of the Union at its next General Conven tion, under the lead of the “New De- parturists.” It has been to prevent this result that we have been laboring all the time. Now if the Advertiser thinks that the difference between us on this subject is “no more than the school-boy conun drum of who struck Billy Patterson,” then we think the editors of that Jour nal have expended a great deal of useless labor in endeavoring to make the people believe that we were no Democrat, and . were using our efforts to break down the Northern Democracy, because we would not agree to say, as the 9 th Penn sylvania Harrisburg Eesolution declared in substance, that the 14th and 15th Amendments had been incorporated into the organic law “in the manner and by the authority Constitutionally appointed. Does the Advertiser still affirm the truth of that Eesolution ? Does it still adhere to its advocacy of the “New De parture” doctrine set forth in it ? The great difference between us and the “New Departurists” is, that while we hold these Amendments as existing only de facto, they hold them to be de jure parts of the Constitution—never hereafter to be ques tioned. This we take, or understand, to be a difference of much more importance to all friends of liberty in this country, than the school-boy conundrum referred to by our cotemporary. But the most extraordinary part of this editorial is the statement in it “that Mr. Stephens abandons substantially the position he has heretofore maintained in four and five column articles of absolute issue with the National Democratic Party.” We say this is most extraordinary, be cause it is nothing but bold assertion, without the shade of a shadow of a fact to rest upon. Not a line, a sentence, ex pression, or word, in the paragraphs quoted from us, is in the slightest de gree inconsistent with, or variant from, anything said by us in the columns of The Sun since we took charge of its editorial department. It is not true, in point of fact, that we “‘virtually indorsed” the California Platform—in the parts quoted from us. On the con trary, we expressly stated that we had not seen it;—and, moreover, we stated to our correspondent that while we considered him and all others holding like sentiments —true to the Constitution, with whom we could cordially co-operate, yet we feared, from his statement of the Califor nia Platform, that the Democrats there would lose the State under it. Theso are our words which the Adver tiser was careful to omi t: We say, in conclusion, to our correspondent, that while we shaU look with interest and hope to the success of his Stato ticket in the election so near at hand, yet, wo greatly apprehend that ho will find, when tho result of the polls is known, that tho party has been considerably •• handicapped" by a Platform which did not give full utterance to the true senti- :nenU of tho people. • Why was this sentence omitted by the Advertiser? Does it not clearly show that we did not approve tho California Platform, even as represented to us, and that we greatly apprehended that the true and gallant, honest masses of the De mocracy of California, like our corres pondent, would be beaten with tho New Departure feature in it ? And has not the result shown that our apprehensions were well founded ? A. H. S. ism in its essence, for it pledges itself to indorse, stand-by build upon and main tain forever, the worst thing ever done by the Eadicals. The defeat in California may well be “un welcome ’and “alarming” to onr neighbor, if it desires Democratic success; but it is not in the least surprising. The Demo cratic party there had nothing to fight for nothing to enthuse them—no issue with the Eadicals upon which to go zeal ously into the canvass. How could thev, or how can we, or Democrats any where else, enter a campaign and vigorously fight the Eadicals by indorsing their frauds, nsurpations and revolutionary measures, and according them the sanc tion and validity of rightful law ? No; the way to enthuse the Democrat ic party is to give them their time-honor ed Platform to stand upon, and the old banner to fight'under, and the truth to sustain them. A refuge of lies can never shelter the party from disgraceful defeat. Whenever it abandons its principles, it will certainly not only secure defeat, but deserve it. »So far, the party has been de feated wherever this “New Departure” heresy has been adopted; and if it shall be incorporated into the creed of the party by the next National Convention, it will be defeated in the next Presidential can vass. If this plank had been put into the Kentucky platform, the Democracy would have been defeated there. .We cannot win Eepublicans to onr ranks by going over to them, neither can we carry honest Democrats with us; and the sooner this foolish idea is abandoned, tho bet ter. It has always been the case, and always will be the case, that the flag of the Democracy has come, out of a con flict “least tattered where it has been borne the highest and boldest in the fight.” Gov. Haight was elected in California two years ago, when Eadicalism was far more formidable in the United States than it is now, upon a square fight-, on the good old Bourbon Platform of 1868; and would have been elected again, if the party had not, in an evil hour, yielded to the temptations of the “De parture” delusion. And that fatal step by the Democracy in that State was th« most foolish, the most suicidal and .the most uncalled for. It had a clear majority in the State and could have kept it, if it had kept its in tegrity. We will remind our neighbor and all concerned, that the old Whig parly came to its defeat and death by putting rotten planks in its platform. It made a bid for the Abolition vote, and that bid was its death stab. Friends, stick to principles. Adhere to honest truth. Don’t go away after strange Gods, nor bow the knee to Baal, nor worship a golden calf! We can bear defeat and survive it, if we maintain our integrity, but we cannot survive either success or defeat if we abandon our prin ciples. Success on wrong principles will be worse than defeat, even if success could be achieved by a “departure” from the truth; but it cannot.. In the foregoing article the Constitution speaks of the “violent opinions and revolu- tionray spirit at the South!” and of “South ern impracticables !” That is strange lan guage from a journal that boasts of being a Confederate concern ! It sounds like Badi- cal slander. If it had been uttered by Hen ry Wilson, or Ben. Butler, or Edwin M. Stanton, or Bufus B. Bullock, or Foster Blodgett, we could have understood it. Neighbor, we did not expect that of you. Wbat was the meaning of our Radical neighbor, the New Era, welcoming the Constitution to the Radical fold a few days ago ?

H S Out readers Trill see at a glance that Mr. Stephens abandons substantially the position he has heretofore maintained, in four and five column articles, of absolute issue with the National Democratic partv. While virtually endorsing the California Democratic platform, which is the “New Departure,” unqualifiedly, he seemsonlv I cIear to d J evenmg on regular schedule time, having been unable to communicate with Col. Wadley, who is between the 157 and 167 mile posts with a large force of hands employed on the wash which occurred at the latter point. At last accounts the water was still rising on the line of the is the most prolific boll for locks that we have yet heard of. A successful farmer in the lower part of this county, who works five hands, in formed us a few days ago that he ex pected to make 1,000 bushels of corn and road. The night trains are being run to 40 of c ?tton this year. This is and from Augusta on their regular sche-1 pret ^ successful fora dry year. Who Augusta _ dule. The day train this morning will connect with trains frsm Augusta at Mil ieu, and tLen go forward as far as is practicable toward Macon. If the water has fallen, it will proceed to the point where Col. Wadley’s force is engaged, and if the damage there has been re paired, the train will go on to Macon. It is hoped that the road will be found to reserve the right to wage a war of words alike injurious to the interests of the Southern States and of the Demo cratic party. We trust he will soon aban don even that and join heartily in the great movement to oust the Eadicals from power, and putin their places true and reliable Democratic statesmen. The fol lowing extract covers the material por tions of the letter of Mr. Stephens’s Cali fornia correspondence. A Circular Letter Issued by the Cham ber of Commerce. The following letter or circular is issued by the Board of Directors of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. Attached to this circular is a succinct statement of the condition of trade, manufactories, and the commerce generally of Atlanta. Some fifteen thousand copies have been printed for gratuitous circulation. Those want ing a copy can get one by addressing M. . Cooper, Esq., Secretary. : ' Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 1st, 1871. At a meeting of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, held at their rooms on Thursday evening, 31st August, it was resolved that this body call the attention of merchants, and others in this section, to the fact of the organization of a Chamber of Commerce,” having for its object the promotion of the interests and business of this city, to foster a generous rivalry and fraternal feelings among our members by a more familiar intercourse with each other; to exercise a judicious supervision over the various interests, and by a proper representation prevent unjust discrimination against onr. city in the matter of freights, a subject of. inter est to us all, and one which will claim the serious consideration of this Cham ber. Having already succeeded in get ting a through-rate of freights from At lanta over most of the roads, and expect to effect the same change over all of them, whereby all goods shipped from Atlanta will go at lower rates than here tofore; thereby enabling our merchants to successfully compete for the trade which should naturally belong to Atlanta. Calling your attention to our extended Railroad facilities, and to the fact that our merchants are supplied with by far the most extensive stocks ever offered in this market, averaging fully fifty per cent, more than those of any previous season! That since last season there have been established in this city 8 many new and extensive Wholesale Houses, and va rious Manufactories, with still more on the eve of being established. Thus pre senting heavier stocks, und at lower pri ces, than ever before offered. In fact, Atlanta in prices can and does suc cessfully compete with any market North or South. Thinking your interests will be sub served by an examination of the stocks now on hand in this city, we extend a cordial invitation to you to visit Atlanta, and solicit in behalf of our merchants your patronage. MAYOR’S COURT. California. The news from this State is unwe’eome—is alarm * n E- It shows that tho Badical effort to impress the people with the insincerity of the Northern and Western Democracy, and the prevalence of violent opinions and revolutionary spirit at the South, has succeeded. But a few weeks ago we plead against undue confidence in the success of the National De mocracy, and tho importance of doing nothing to in jure the prospects and campaign of our Northern al lies. If, however, tho California election will put a •top to the assault of Southern impracticables upon tno Northern Democracy, the result of that election will prove a blessing in disguise. Friends, onco more wc appeal to you to turn your guns away from onr own ranks to those of the enemy. The foregoing appeared in the Consti tution of Saturday morning. We regret ted to see it. Surely ! surely ! Is that the best judgment of our neighbor, or is it aiming to defeat the Democracy every where ? Wo cannot believe the latter, and arc not willing to come to the former conclusion ; therefore, it is with surprise and astonishment, as well as regret, that we see such an article in its columns. This New Departure is no friend to Democracy. It is not Democracy. Its triumph will not he a Democratic triumph but a Democratic defeat. It aims at the death of the party, and is gotten up by the enemies thereof expressly to divide From the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, Cth Sep tember, 1871. Well! Well!! Well!!! Has it come to this at last ? We had supposed that the difference between the Advertiser and Mr. Stephens was more than the mere school hoy conundrum of who struck Billy Patterson. But it real ly appears from the leading editorial in the Atlanta luminary, in its issue of the 4th, that the great nallifier of the XIVth and XVth Amendments now acknowl edges them to he de facto parts of the Constitution with all the force and effect- of law. ' WMBM Without further comment we copy the remarks of Mr. Stephens upon the letter of a California correspondent, of The Sun, whom we also recognize to be friend, correspondent, and indorser of the political views of the Advertiser. FBOM THE ATLANTA. SUN. We very cheerfully give place to-day to a letter from the ‘‘Young Giant” of the West. The tone and spirit of the letter are patriotic, and true to the Constitution throughout. With all such Democrats we can co-operate most heartily. We have no ob jection to those who accept the “fraudulent amend ments” as existing fads, while the administration of the Government is in the hands of those who are clothed with power to enforce them; but who do not indorse them as finalities. We hail as friends all those who acquiesce in them as de facto, but not de jure parts of the organic law. We have not 8. en the Democratic platform of California, upon which the present canvass in that State is conducted; hut have no doubt from the tone and spirit of the letter, of onr correspondent, that tho difference between him and us, (had we been in the Convention with him) would have been a difference only as to form and not one of substance, as to the proper language in which the true position should have been set forth. We have all along said but little about the Ohio Platform. It is the 9th.

DAWSON. A destructive fire occurred at Dawson, Ga., on Monday night last, which burned eight stores, one large warehouse, and a carriage and blacksmith shop. A por tion of the goods from the stores were saved in a damaged condition". Of the the buildings burned, but one was in jured. The loss is estimated at $50,000. The fire was on the square known as the Loyless block. The fire is supposed to have been set by an incendiary. THOMASVTTiT.E. The Enterprise says: Our farmers report the cotton prospect as anything hut promising in this section. The boll worm continues its ravages, which in some localities amount to almost a total destruction of the young bolls.. The storm also did considerable damage by blowing down the stalks, whipping off the bolls and forms, and muddying and scattering the open cotton. Besides this the top crop, which promised well a month ago, seems to be doing but little, and without an improvement-, with a fa vorable and late fall, it will prove a fail ure. An intelligent farmer told ns yes terday that he did not believe the cotton crop oi Thomas county would be more than half as great as that of last year. Another, who is farming upon the best lands in this section, planted for 100 bales but now hopes for only 80. Upon the same lands last year, with less arti ficial appliances, 125 bales were realized.

The Telegraph and Messenger of Satur day has these items: The passengers and baggage which left Savannah on Wednesday morning last, reached here yesterday afternoon, having passed through sundry trials and tribula tions. They were stopped by a break in the road near and on this side of Gordon. The Macon and Augusta Railroad suf fered more severely from the freshet than was at first reported. In addition to the washing away of much of the trestle work over Walnut creek, near this city, and re ported yesterday, we learn that the road suffered materially at Commissioners and Fishing creeks, near Milledgeville, and in several places the embankments gave gave way, forming ugly breaks in the road. It will be several days before reg ular freight and passenger trains will be able to run over it. We learned yestdrday, from a note left on our desk, that various milling prop erty and mill-dams, in this vicinity, were swept away by the freshet of Wednesday night last. Among others mentioned in the note as being gone, are the saw-mill dam, cotton gin and factory dam of Mr. 6. W. Massey; Riggins’ mill dam, and those also of Mr. Nelson. Indeed, we have not heard of a solitary mill dam in the county that wholly withstood the pressure. They were all damaged seri ously, or swept away entirely. We dare say the accumulated damages of the freshet, including the injuries sustained by the various railways and country roads, and the overflow of field crops, will amount to more than those of any freshet we have had within the last thirty years.

The body of a negro man, namedReu- ben Ward, was found in Pachitla creek, near Fountain’s Bridge, some four miles from the city, on Sunday morning, by citizens living in that neighborhood.— Upon examination, it was discovered that he had a gun-shot wound in the left breast, which had doubtless caused his death. There were some signs of a scuf fle in the road near by, and the gun wad was found on the bridge. The pockets of the deceased were turned wrong side out, and had evidently been rifled by the murderer.—Appeal, 8th. , ELBEBTON.

The latter appears to be trying to get away from the woman who, in her right hand has a vessel of some kind suspended im mediately over the rudder of the bird.— The reading of the picture is easy: The eagle represents the Democratic party and the woman is the Progress. The ves sel in her hand contains some “New De parture” salt which she is trying to throw enthe bird’s tail in order to catch him. But the salt has lost its savor and the “eagle-bird of liberty” refuses to he salt ed. The picture is a good one.

Special Dispatch to the Daily Advertisor. Washington, September’ 6.—It is ru mored here to-night that Kimball’s cred itors are making preparations to seize Ms Brunswick Railroad. A near relative of Kimball’s expresses the opinion that he (Kimball) has certainly failed. It is said that over forty of Kimball’s cred itors in New York prepared to nab him, but he slipped through their fingers and escaped to Europe. It is said that Kimball has gone to Europe for the purpose of negotiating the Georgia bonds which he received as State aid to his railroad; also his four hundred thousand dollars Atlanta real estate improvement bonds. If Kimball operates successfully in Europe, it will be in effect, withdrawing all his money from Georgia and leaving his creditors to whistle for theirs. Bullock asserts that Kimball is, or will be, all right when he reaches Europe; but this is doubtful, as dispatches have been sent to London warning them of his approach, which may have the effect of defeating his schemes. 535°* Col.
