The Confederate Monument.
We ask the attention of our readers
to the advertisement of the agents of
this enterprise to be found in our col
umns to-day. The time is now short for
all who feel a disposition to join in be

worthy object in the manner pioposed,

Mr. Voorliee* and Ills Defeat.
We clip from the Sunday’s issue of our
neighbor, the Constitution, the following
account of the great IndianaDemocratic
leader.

In this city to-day from Mr. Voorhees, dated at
Terro Houle, October 14, s*ys that he does not re
gret his defeat for Congress, out is Rlad to be remit
ted to the practice of bis profession, which is more
•ongcnial and lucrative. .
As to the causes af his defeat, Mr. Voorhees says
before saw it when he said that the Democrats
could not organize in the short t’ihe given them be-
fon the election, and that it was simply a stay at
_omo in his party that b- at him and injured the
cause ovurywbere. N body thought there was a pos-
albiUty of his defeat, and over confidence tod hun
dred 8 to stay away from the polls. He writes as
follows in regard to the Liberal movement.
A word or two in regard to the movement itself.
It is right in Its principles and objects. A move
ment designed to restore self-government to the
people of the South, and torelievethem from thieves
lad pirates, to bring about general amnesty, peace
and reconclhaton between the sections,topurilythe
departments of the government now infested
by plundering rings engaged in the ser
vice of the country —a movement, I say,
contemplating such results as these, cannot fail
to enlist zealous and unfaltering support.
The only mistake our friends mide was in suppos
ing that the prejudice of the masses of the Demo
cratic party of thirty years' standing against Mr.
Greeley could he entirely overcome in a brelf can
vass of sixty days. It takes mors time than this to
work such a change in the minds of honest slow-
thinking people. I thought Bowhenl tried to pre
vent the nomination of Mr. Greeley, and now I
know I was right. I have entire respect tor this
clement in our party, and the cause in which we
■reengaged; but it takes more time than was given
So. this movement.
Allow me to say a word, also, |on another point:
Mr. Greeley has personally {raised himself in this
canvass a thousand told in my estimation. _ Hu
course has been all that could bo desired, and xbe ■
Have he would, if elected, be perfectly true to the
purposes he has 60 grandly proclaimed in his un
rivalled addresses to the public. I shall vote tor
kirn j n November, not only unhesitatingly, butfwith
pleasure, os a man who has established his claim to
my admiration, notwithstanding my previous preju.
dice."
In this, it is to be Doted that Mr.
Voorhees says nothing about aDy frauds
practiced against him—nothing aboat
any Radical Gerrymandering of bis Dis
trict, as was asserted by our cotempo
rary, the Chronicle and Sentinel, of Au
gusta. He simply, in common phrase,
“ acknowledges the corn,” and admits
that be was beaten because bis old Dem
ocratic supporters would not vote for
him—notwithstanding his majority was
so great in the District that he did not
look to his defeat as possible. He at
tributes the result to the fact that there
was not time “ to organize” this majori
ty—that is, ,in plain English, that the
time was too short to “Radicalize” the
Democracy of bis District.
This is the upshot of the whole mat
ter.
Mr. Voorhees will find that something
far different from personal prejudice
against Mr. Greeley influenced the De
mocracy of his District in not following
him in the Radical camp. They were
governed by political principle, and not
peiBonal prejudice.
They saw nothing in Mr. Greeley’s
speeches in his electioneering tour to
oommend him to their favor, as Mr.
Voorhees says he saw, and by which he
became so much enraptured.
They saw that in them he declared he
was as much of a Republican—that is,
Radical—as ever he was; and that he
would recognize as members of his
family, if elected, no one who did not
adopt and stand upon his own Radica.
Platform.
They saw that at Ooriy, in Pennsyl
vania, Mr. Greeley was open in his ad
vocacy of all the abominations of the
Xu-KJax Act, which Mr. Voorhees had
himself won such honors in denouncing.
They doubtless saw very clearly that
the whole Greeley movement was to
‘‘organize” a “new Party” upon this
Gincinnati-Baltimore-Radical Platform.
This is the real Bolntion of the affair.
It would be uncandid not to say that
we doubly regret the fall of this truly
brilliant orator, and formerly honored
•hampion of Democratio principles.
Bnt the severest pang of onr regret is
not that this former gallant Democratio
«hief was found in the dust on the battle
field, but that the Radical inscription of
“H. G. ” was seen emblazoned on his ar
mor. A. H. S.
The GrecneaMoro Herald for Sale.
It is with profound regret that we see
in the last issue of this able and efficient
journal the following announcement:
“From the oontinned ill-health and
“consequent inability of the Editor and
“Proprietor to give his personal atten-
“tiontothe business of the paper, the
“ office of the Greenesboro Herald, in-
“ eluding material, good will, &c., is of-
“fered for sale or lease, on reasonable
“ terms. The paper has a good position
“and patronage, and is only offered for
“ sale from the reasons above stated.
“Our exchanges will confer a favor,
“which will be gratefully appreciated,
“ by directing attention to this notice.”
In our own severe affliction, we have
the las^jpnj'nths, with the
out the advantages of education, but of
the truest and noblest stamp of nature,
he took charge of the Herald a few years
ago, when it was barely able to sustain it
self. By his unceasing toil, energy, indus
try, bottomed upon the inflexible princi
ples of honor, truth and integrity,he how
ever bnilt up a paper wb ich has not only
put him in oomfortable circumstance so
far as this woiId’s goods are concerned;
bnt one which has acquired a reputation
wide as the Union of these States. It
has been a source of the greatest gratifi
cation to us to see articles penned by
him, upon the fundamental principles of
the Government; and the true Demo
cratic faith, copied in several of our ex
changes, from the Gulf to the Lakes.
Since the middle of last summer Mr.
Burns has been unable to take any
active part in the discussions of the
questions which now agitate the country,
But we are rejoioed to see, floating at his
most head, the Electoral ticket of the
true Democracy.
This reminds us of the soul-stinng last
words of the immortal Lawrence, “Don’t
give up the ship!”
To all who may bo inctined to vest
their money in such an enterprise, and
devote their talents to journalism, we say
from oar own knowledge of the sur
roundings of the Herald, that a better
opportunity for so embarking, in any
country town, rarely occurs.
We can but, moreover, indulge the
earnest hope that Mr. Burns, relieved
by rest from labors, will soon recover
from that malady which at present is so
severely worrying his svstem. His con
stitution, being by nature strong and
vigorous, will, we trust, in quiet and re
pose, recuperate its energies, and that
“Richard,” at no very distant day, “will
be himself again.” This is our earnest
hope, and that his retirement from that
field in which he has achieved 1 so much
honor, in so short a time, will be no less
brief than the cause of it is deeply regret
ted by his friends. A. H. S.

Another Review ox Mr. Stephens' His
tory of the United States.
This is from the Connecticut School
Journal, New Haven, September, 1872,
and penned by Wh. Chauncey Fowler,
L.L. D., one of the ablest and most dis
tinguished writers of the country.—Eds.
Sun.
A Compendium of the History of the
United States.*—The following quota
tion from Mr. Stephens’ introduction,
will show the purpose of the author:
1. “It is the purpose of the author of
this work to give the youth of the coun
try, as well as the general readers, a con
densed history of the United States of
America; embracing all important facts
connected with the discovery and early
occnpation of the country, within their
limits, by immigrants from otner lands;
together with the facts attending the
formation of their governments, pnd the
establishment of those free institutions
which have so marked as well as distin
guished them among the nations of the
earth,”
2, “ In the prosecution of this design,
the first object will be, after a brief pre
sentation of the facts attending the dis
covery of the continent of America, to
trace, daring their colonial condition,
the mstory of each one of the separate
political communities known as British
Colonies thereon, which afterwards be
came united under the style of the Uni
ted States of America, and then to trace
the history of these States, so united
under their existing Union, down to the
present time.”
To carry out the purpose thus an
nounced, of furnishing the youth and
general readers of our country a history
of the States as separated and as muted,
requires a mind of large powers to com
prehend the various subjects in tbeir re
lations proximate and remote; great in
dustry in collecting facts from the wide
fields of Bpace and time; a thorough ac
quaintance with the motives which gov
ern men when acting in political com
munities; a conscientious love of truth
from whatever quarter it comes; an in
tellect eo trained by study and practice
an to qualify the writer to present to the
reader the great facts of history in a lu
cid arrangement, and in luminous lan
guage.
It would be difficult to find inronr
country, any man who more largely
unites m himself these conditions of suc
cess in tne undertaking, than Mr. Ste
phens. After having received a liberal
education at Franklin College, he be
came a lawyer in large practice, a mem
ber of the House of Representatives and
the Senate in his native State, GeQrgia;
a member oi Congress from 1843 to 1859,
and afterwards the Vice -President of the
Confederate States. To the advantages
of having been trained in these several
positions, he unites great talents, untir
ing industry, and moral and religions
principle. Moreover in his published
volumes he has shown such evidence of
his great abilities as an author, that we
cannot doubt his high qualifications for
writing the history of the States. In
such high estimation are his qualifica
tions held that he has been appointed
Professor of History and Political Sci
ence in the University of Georgia.
In the first nine pages of his work, he
presents a rapid view of the circum
stances connected with the discovery of
America. Following this, 130 pages are
devoted to the settlement of the thir
teen original English colonies. The next
49 paces are devoted to an account of
the Indian wars carried on by the colo
nies, and the causes which led them to
separate from the mother country, and
to assume sovereign and independent
powers. The remainder of the boon is
occupied with the history of the States
since their union.
From .such a man, writing for such a
purpose, we had a right to expect a work
of Ligh excellence, such as we find this
to be. First, the method of arranging
the several positions, so that each is in
troduced at its own proper time and
place, renders it easy to be understood
by the reader. In this way, events acat-
;L “*be A&iiloFd a long tract of time, and
^ h of space, are presented
“ “ ’ give to tke whole a
' *a “geography and
o eyes of history,
are made to lend their appropriate aid
as likewise, do the pictorial illustrations,
of which there are many. And besides
there is a continued thread of thought
running through the mazes of events,
wnioh conducts the reader safely in the
labyrinth.
The style is vigorous, precise and per
spicuous, presenting the facts just as
they stood in the clear, calm, compre
hensive mind of the author; so that a
reader of common intelligence and in
dustry cannot fail to understand
the meaning in its full import Indeed,
so transparent is the style, that the in
telligent reader is borne along the-cur
rent of thought without being conscious
of effort.
From our acquaintance with the edu
cational institutions of the country, we
are ready to believe that there is a great
dearth ot historical knowledge in many
of the schools and colleges, and thatmnl-
titudes are going forth yearly from them
without being qualified to perform their
duties as American citizenp. * For how
can they perform the duties of the pres
ent, without a knowledge of the history
of the past ? How can they perform the
duties of patriots when unacquainted
with the history and basis of our free in
stitmions ?
We accordingly welcome this book as
well adapted to supply a felt want in onr
country, especially in tbe schools and
colleges. W. O. F,

A Correct Statemectof the Fairhurn
Riot.
Editors Sun: As nothing but wholely
incorrect accounts of this lamentable af
fair have been published in all the Atlan
ta papers, we, the undersigned citizens
of this plaec ask, the publication of the
following statement:
John Beatenbaugb, Joe Suttle and
Andrew Grizzard, come from the neigh
borhood of Red Oak station on foot to
Fairborn, as we are reliably informd, for
the express purpose of mobbing John A.
Thompson, because he had guarded Ba-
tenbaugh while under arrest on a form
er occasion, and defied the Sheriff who
had bench warrants for them. On their
arrival at Fairborn they went from one
grocery to another and soon made it ap
parent by the rudeness of their conduct
that they were determined upon a row.
Some halfiUour before sundown, they en
tered Wiley James’ grocery, accused
Thompson of charging ten ednts too
much for a pint of brandy. This was
simply the pretext for the intended as
sault upon Thompson.
The party numbered now about one
dozen, and became very boisterous, in
dulging in profanity and obseinity by
the wholesale. Tuompoon, who is a
very quiet man, begged them to leave
his house, offered tuem the ten cents,
aud urged them to go away and let him
alone.
Many citizens, rushing to the scene of
disturbance, finally got it quelled, and in
duced the party to leave, who now weqt
to Hathcock’s grocery where they re
mained or its vic.nity, until about dusk,
when the people had generally gone to
supper.
Seizing this opportunity the whole
party, numbering about one dozen, made
a rush to James’ grocery, entered the
same, assaulted Thompson, jerkiDg him
out of the house and cutting at him as
they went out the door. Some three or
four citizens being present, interposed
to check them, bnt being violently as
saulted by the same party, became in
volved in the difficulty in which sticks,
weights and knives, were used.
The party being badly worsted, beat a
retreat "in the direction of Hathcock’s
grocery. No sooner were they discon
nected than they drew their pistols and
commenced firing in every direction as
they slowly made their way to Hathcock’s
grocery. This attracted thd citizens
from their homes, who now thronged to
tbe scene of disturbance.
j t was immediately resolved to arrest
the party, who were now in Hathcock’s
grocery swearing vengeance and lurthsr
disturbance. As the citizens appeared
before the door, it was shut. When
they demanded entrance, and mani
fested. an intention to enter,
this party wont out at the baok
door and commenced shooting again.
H. R. Hopgood and F. H. Shaw went
aronnd the house, when Andrew Griz
zard was being held by his brother, asd
commenoed begging him to be quiet,
wherenpon he drew his pistol and made
an effort to shoot Hopgood.
This was prevented by Shaw and Hop-
guod; and as they seized Grizzard a»d
his pistol, some one, thought to be Bea-
tenbaugh, fired at Hopgood, the bullet
passing through his beard, grazing
Shaw’s arm and entering the bowels of
Grizzard, who has since died.
At this, the whole party fled through
the dark, and back lots, making their
escape. We know not whether they fled
from Grizzard’s being snot or from the
rush of tho citizens aronnd the house to
the back door, who had just generally
ascertained that the party had gone out
the back door.
Thus ended this wanton fracas, result
ing in the death of one man, another be
ing badly cut, and several of the aggres
sive party being badly braised and oth
erwise hurt. Some thirty odd shots
were fired during the row.

I«w Process of Refining Saccharine,
and making the best qnalltjr of Syrnpa
at the Cheapest Rates.
We were mneh interested by a visit
yesterday to the new refinery at the cor
ner of Ento and Fnlton streets, the old
Seamen’s Home, where the new process
of Mr. S. H. Gilman for making syrups
out of .the most inferior kinds of saccha
rine substances is being operated. This
establishment is now et work on a large
scale, taming oat large quantities ot a
syrup quite equal to ihe best in the mar
ket, which is extracted from the refuse
molasses known u black strap, which
has been regarded heretofore as incapa
ble ot distillation. The process is one
which separates all mineral and other
foreign substances in the saccharines,
and evolves a pure and wholesome syrup.
It is effeoted through a treatment by
hot water, in which the saccharine solu
tion of either sugar or molasses is heated
in water, in an apparatus of peculiar con
struction, to a temperature of 250 de
gress, by such an equal diffusion of heat
that no ebullition takes place, and form
ing new combinations of the salts of lime,
potash, soda and magnesia—the consti
tutional impurities—which then deposit
largely in a receptacle at the bottom,
after which the clear solution is decanted
off, and treated in a second apparatus of
similar construction with carbonic acid
gas—the same that is drank in soda and
mineral waters—generated in a novel
manner in the solution which combines
and deposites the remaining salts and
organic matters, rapidly and so perfectly,
that the poorest quality of “Black Strap”
molasses, worth bat 15 cents a gallon, is
converted into the finest quality of gol
den syrup, equal in oolor and flavor to
that made from pare sugar.
The deposit of salts and organic mat
ter in thick solution is separated by
a press filter, and the saoebarine princi
pal all saved.
The weight of the metafile elements in
tlie solid matter extracted averages, after
calcination, upward of five pounds from
each barrel of moiasses, and are princi
pally calcium, sodium, magnesium and
potassium combinations, and come large
ly from the soil in the growtn of the
sugar cane, and will furnish the most
valuable fertilizer to return to it again.
These mineral salts have long been reoog-
nized by chemists as the neutralizing
imparities and agents in all saccharine
solutions that arrest and suspend perfect
crystalization, and their extraction is
the study of the sugar chemius of the
world.
The effeot of this process in removing
these impediments to crystalization is
proved by the fact that molasses that
polarize but 15 per cent, of available
crystalizable sugar before this treatment
polarizes 50 per cent, afterwards, more
than trebling its commercial and dietic
value. The complete success of the ex
periment thus far gives every reason to
believe that this process will prove a
most satisfactory and lucrative one.—
H. 0. Times,
Mr. J. W. Seymour, the representa
tive of Messrs. Fairbanks & Gilman,
who are sugar refiners and manufacturers
of Louisiana Crystal syrups, and owners
of the patent for the aoove named pro
cess, was at our late State Fair, where
he exhibited specimens of jyery superior
syrups, manufactured by this process and
from the material named. We tested it
and found it very superior and no mis
take—having that pure Louisiana syrup
taste, and free from the acridity of much
of the unwholesome syrups manufactured
from drugs, which to some extent is sold
for tbe finest and best, though really an
impure article.
This invention'is, we doubt not, a most
valuable one, the general introduction of
which will tend to cheapen the -produc
tion of syrup, and insure a good and
wholesome article.
We learn tnat the managers of the Fair
were so much pleased with the process
and its production, as exhibited by Mr.
Seymour, as to award a first premium
offered, and recommend the award of a
gold medal—though nothing of that kind
was offered in the list of premiums.
honorable gentlemen, no mutter what
may be his own peculiar political views,
can do otherwise than honor and respect
him for his consistency and unswerving
devotion to principle.
All of them that desire to vote for a
Democrat of this stamp will have an op
portunity to do so in November. Such
should be, and is the right and privilege
of every man, and 1 such right and privi
lege we expect to exeroiae to its fullest
extent in the approaching election; and
it is our opinion that those who agree
with ns wifi be found to number many
thousands within this Congressional Dis
trict alone. Let all, then, who believe
in true Democracy, be up and doing.
The time is short, but if we will work
with a will much may yet be done. The
masses have become demoralized because
the leaders have betrayed them, and the
Press has misled them. But the people
will yet prove true to the right, and we
look forward to a rousing majority in
favor of DuBose and Democracy in No
vember.— Washington (Qa.) Gazelle, Oct.
18, 1872.
Mrs. Eliza Gardner, the mother
of James Gardner, Esq., the editor of
the Constitutionalist, died at her residence
on the Sand Hills, near Augu-ta, on
Friday last, aged 89 years. Tee Chroni
cle and Sentinel, in speaking of her, says :
She was, perhaps, the oldest resident
of the county, aud in her day had adorn
ed and dignified alt the relations iu which
the grand virtues'' of true womanhood as
sert their legitimate supremacy in giving
exalted t me to social and domestio life.
Long prominent iu the best circles of so
ciety, and more than sixty years a faith
ful and devoted member of the Presbyte
rian church, she has. left a name and an
example whieh is a rich heritage for
those of her family and friends who
mourn her death.

Onr Candidate fox Congress.
We publish to-day a letter from Gen.
D. M. DuBose, announcing himself as a
candidate for re-election to Congress
from tnis District. We can scarcely say
that he announces himself as a candidate
and be strictly correct, for he enters the
contest only at the solicitation and earn
est and long continued persusian of a
very large number of friends. We in
tend to give him onr support, and to do
all in onr powar, consistent with honor
and fair dealing, to assist in his election.
Gen. DuBose refused to barter his
princles for place, and to sell his honor
to obtain tbe nomination in tbe Augusta
Convention. He could not agree with
the sentiments of a large number com
posing that body, and would not, there
fore, allow his name to go before it as a
candidate. He now enters the field, as
he has a right to do, and as it is his duty
to do, at the request of a large number
of voters who cannot sanction or approve
the action of that Convention, or vote
tor its nominee, bat who desire to ex
press their opinions by their ballots, men
who are iaitntul to true Democracy, and
who honor and respect and desire to re
ward a brave, true, persistent and un
flinching defender of the same.
Gen’l. DnBose was elected by an over
whelming majority in 1870 on a sound
Democratic platform of principles, and
one absolutely the very opposite of the
Cincinnati Baltimore platform. He still
adheres to those principles andrelnses to
endorse others which he considers dia
metrically opposite aud altogether wrong.
Is he not right ? Could he command the
respect of honorable men did he aot
otherwise? We voted for him then,
why can we not now ? We refused then
to indorse the same principles as are to
day embodied in the Cincinnati Balti
more platform, why should we endorse
them now ? We, who voted forDuBose
in 1870, considered those principles as
the quintesence of Radicalism and would
not support them or their adherents
then, why should we now?
General DuRooe simply refuses to sanc
tion now, what he condemned then, and
to c ondemn now what he sanctioned
then. He simply wifi not say those
things are right whicu he has be*n, all
