Balb or Cotton foe the President.—
The Washington Republican of tbe 16th
inst., noticing the arrival of the bale of cot
ton from Georgia says: The President was
yesterday the recipient of a bale of cotton,
tbe first received in tbe market at Macon,
Ga., from tbe people of that city, in token of
their appreciation of the wise and states*
manlike policy which he is pursuing on tbe
great question of restoration. Tbe loyal
masses of the entire Soutli are with the
President, and were it not for tbe devasta
ting effects of waf, nod the general pov
erty of the Southern people, he would re
ceive from them for more substantial assu
ranees of their endorsement of his policy of
union and restoration.
Gut Fawkes Rbdivivds.—The news from
England tells us of a plot to blow up the two
Houses of Parliament. It is difficult to con
ceive from what side such an attempt should
be made- Parties are so well divided both
in tbe Lords as well as in the Commons that
all would suffer very nearly equally in a dis
aster of tbe kind, which was sought to be
effected. We suppose that it was a practi
cal joke—a stupendous hoax—unless, indeed,
there are some factionists in London, who
hate all parties with impartial vindictiveness.
This affair, coming just after the riotous de
monstrations in the British capital, sbow9
that “tbe best governed country in the
world" is liable to disturbances, as well as
Louisiana.
_ THE CHOLERA. - -
It gives «s plMSne to state that this die.
ease has not, thus for, assumed in ohr city
even the samblamto of an epidemic form.
The few sporadic cases of duly occurrence
are mostly confined to the negro population
on the outskirts of the city, and are traceable
to superinducing causes which can only be,
removed by k thori^gft'. MK‘ pefhaps? im^
practicable reformation of the loose habits of
the class upon whioh it preys.
It is gratifying to know that in the interior
portions of the city^where sanitary rules gjg
intelligently and rigidly observed, cases are
of exceedingly rare occurrence, and no fears
am entertained that ft will aM$$*» mnbg-
nant type. We yentffc the qpmff#* $41 if
the sanitary measures which have been
adopted are persistently adhered to, tqg£ther
with the growing coolness of the weather,
the disease will soon disappear, or, at l^eagt,
will be so severely checked as to render its
struggling existence comparatively harmless.
Cleanliness has always been ranked among
the virtues, and now when it is known to be
a preventive remedy of certain reliance, it
commends itself more than ever to our atten-
tention. The city authorities have done
their duty, so far as the streets and alleys of
Savannah are concerned; and if the people,
for whose health these changes Save been
made, would meet them with a like spirit, as
we believe they will, the cholera will soon
be driven out, having nothing to subsist
upon. Let each householder examine his
own premises, and see to it that the cellars
emit no effluvia that can breed disease. The
prying eyes of the Board of Health cannot
see into the cellars, cupboards, and tho out-
of-the-way places of the householders; and
hence, while much effort and money Is spent
to keep the streets in good condition, cholera
nests may be kept secret from their observa
tion by tiie very persons whose lives are thus
endangered. A general and thorough clean
ing np of houses and of their premises by our
citizens, and a general attention to diet,
which many, both white and black, disregard
entirely, would at once eradicate the pesti
lence. Let it be tried. 5

on the President
and Dfcactcto of the A. * G. Bnilroad are.

is but justice to the citizens of Decatur
county to complete the road to this point
wijh all possible dispatch. The growing

its transportation to the markets df the fttiSMf,
and that great highway will soon be furnish

Southwestern Georgia in another direction,
■nfl fnnr** - her with a market in the great
Southwest’ New Orleans wilT be a danger
ous competitor to any city in this State,
after a few mouths preparation, unless timely
arrangements are made by tbe city of Savan
nah. When trade is fairly established in one
direction, it is hard to turn it jnto a new
channel, without offering great inducements.
It will be quite easy to connect the A. &
Gulf Road with St. Marks, by way of the
Live Oak Branch; but this will leave tbe
counties of Decatur, Miller, Early, Baker
and Mitchell unprovided for; and they are
the best cotton-growing counties in the South
ot the State. Now, if we are compelled to
seek our market in New Orleans, the sooner
the better. Our fields are already white with
the golden fleece, and the city that secures to
itself tbe present crop, will be compensated
for yeaisto come, for vigorous and timely ef
forts.
We contemplate making a visit to our
friends in New Orleans, some time in tbe
month of September, when we shall use our
best efforts to establish a permanent line of
trade between this city and that great mar
ket of the West. In the meantime, we
WqvH suggest to Uie dealers .in Western pro
duce, and groceries in general, that the
Georgian is prepared to give wide circulation
♦o-tbe* bbsifiess cards and advertisements of
all those seeking to open a new business,
to increase a business alread y began, in this
promising land- of trade. Let them look
well to it.—Southern (Ba inbridge) Georgian.
Easlx Corn.—The Edgefield Advertiser
says that Messrs. Smith A Clemens, of Mount
Vintage, nine miles below that place, on Mon
day last sent a load s of com of this year’s
growth to that village for sale, and readily
obtained for the same $1 80 per bushel. It
was of the Pennsylvania gourd seed variety,
and dry and fine. This species of jeora is
certainly entitled to the consideration of our
people, as it produces a fine yield, and ma
tures before the drouth generally comes on.
Another year we hope many of our fanners
will give it a thorough test
The Paris Exposition.—The total value
of the prizes to be given at tbe forthcoming
Paris Exposition is $160,0C0 in gold. In tbe
department of arts there are 17 grand prizes,
valued at $400 each; 32 first prizes, valued
at $160 each; 44 second prizes, $100 each,
and 46 third prizes, $80 each. Besides these
there are to be various other grand prizes
and allowances of money, of a total value of
$10,000; 100 gold medals, $200 each; 1,000
silver medals, 3,000 bronze medals, and over
6,000 “honorable mentions." All the medals
will be of tbe same model. The jurymen to
decide upon the merits of articles sent from
the United States are to be selected by the
United States Commissioners.
Arkansas Election.—An election was held
in Arkansas on Monday, August 6th, for
members of Congress, State Legislature and
county officers. So far as heard from, the
election was everywhere quietly conducted
The nominations were conservative, and made
without reference to former political antece
dents. Except in a few localities, no Radical
or Republican tickets were in the field.
Scattering returns indicate the election of
Hobson for Congress over Askew by a large
majority in the Third District.
Gen. Rousseau has sent a dispatch to his
friends in Louisville to the effect that if he
can be re-elected to Congress, without a
scramble, he should be gratified. The Louis
ville Courier, which has heretofore opposed
his re-election, now urges it. He will be re
elected without serious opposition.
The New York Herald of Monday, treated
its readers to three columns and a half of dis
patches by the Atlantic cable, for which it
paid five thousand, dollars in gold. We
should call that newspaper enterprise.
The war correspondent of the London
Morning Herald is Col. Von Bourke, late
chief of staff to Gen. Jeb Stuart. Col. Von
Bourke is tbe author of the brilliant series
of papers in Blackwood’s Magazine entitled,
“Memoirs of the Confederate War lor In
dependence.” Although a German, he
writes Fngb«b with a correctness and dash
of style scarcely to be expected in a for
eigner. He has the further advantage ot
being at home not only in the language of
the Prussian army, but in all its manage
ment. having received his military education,
m aft officer of cavalry in that service.
It is stated on high authority that General
Grant has requested Secretary Stanton to
furnish for publication all of Sheridan’s dis
patches in reference to the New Orleans riots,
in order to set at rest the various and contra
dictory reports concerning them, as well as
to place General Sheridan correctly betore
the country in the matter.
Collectob or Customs at Savannah, Ga.—
The Washington Republican of the 17th inst.
states that the commission of ex-Provisional
Governor James Johnson, of Georgia, ap
pointing him Collector of Customs for the
port of Savannah, was yesterday signed by
the President.
Queen Emma.—The Queen of the Sand
wich Islands is still in Washington, where
she was called upon on Wednesday by a
number of clergymen of the Episcopal Church.
The interview lasted an hoar, and all de
parted most agreeably Impressed by the
graceful vivacity of tbe Queen, her engaging
address and dignified-cordiality.
Mm. Davis and Hu Eamidt.—Fort Mon-
son, Aug. 9..—The latest Information from the
family of Jefferson Davis is to the effect that
Mrs. Davis is about to change her apartments
from the casemate in Fortress Monroe to
rooms in Crrroll Hall, where she may be at
all times near her husband. Mu. Davis has
all along been dissatisfied with the casemate.
Ls Missouri arrests of ministers of the Gos
pel for preaching without first t*kiT. g the
oath prescribed by the Radicals continue to
bo of daily occurrence. The Methodists and
Catholics seem to be the peculiar objects of
Radical vengeance*
For Mayor.—The friends of Jno. D. Smith,
Esq., have announced him as a candidate for
Mayor of Augusta.
PRESIDENT JOHNSON’S ADDRESS.
In the telegraphic column will be found a
sketch of the address of'the President in re
sponse to Hon. Beverdy Johnson, who pre
sented the official proceedings of the Phila
delphia Convention. We commend it to the
attentive consideration of our readers, and
we would especially direct to it the attention
of Southern Radicals, if there be any in our
midst.
When a public .man is assailed with unjust
imputations in regard to his motives and offi
cial conduct, he can only avow his real aims,
and trusting to time and the refutation to be
afforded by his conduct, live down the slan
ders. It has been the fortune of the Presi
dent since his ascension to the Presidency to
be opposed and villified, not for any violation
of the constitntion or the lews of the iand,
but solely on account of principles and pur
poses falsely imputed to him by his enemies.
But tbe American people are beginning to
understand the principles and' b£ appreciate
the patriotic motives of this fegtfefg defender
of popular institutions, and wufyet give him
a glorious triumph over tbe unprincipled
faction which has sought tbe overthrow ot
his Administration and the destruction of his
character. Since the time when our fkther3
laid the foundations of the Republic no man
has ever been in a public position in America,
around whom such anxiety and interest has
centered, or upon whom such vast responsi
bilities have rested as the present occupant
of the Executive chair. The destiny of the
land seems to wait upon his action. The
hopes of millions cluster about him; the
prayers of a Christian people are offered in
his behalf. May the God of nations inspire
his counsels with grace and wisdom.

Report or Fit eedmen’b Bureau on Con
dition or Affairs in Georgia and Ala
bama.—A Washingt on dispatch to the New
York Sun in regard to the reported destitu
tion in Georgia and Alabama, says:—“The
Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau has
received an elaborate report from a special
inspector who was charged with the duty ot
investigating the reports of destitution re
ceived from Alabama and Georgia. This
officer visited, in the course of bis inspection,
Northern Alabama and Georgia, and traveled
incog., in order tbe better to reach tbe truth
among all classes. After giving a detailed
report in reference to each county visited, be
says his observations have convinced him
that there has not been a single case of star
vation in either State ; that the amount of
destitution has been largely exaggerated;
that although some destitution exists and has
existed, it is not absolute, bat con sists mainly
in confinement to some one or few articles of
food, of which, in nearly all cases, there bas
been a sufficiency, and that it has been ascrib-
able in great part to tbe idleness of tbe people;
that the issue of rations as at present con 1
ducted is producing great demoralization and
idleness among the people, and thit so long
as it is continued the apparent necessity for
it will exist; that the crops, though small,
are amply sufficient, with economy, to sup
ply the people with the ne cessaries of life til
another crop is harvested.”

THE ADDRESS OF THE PHILADEL
PHIA COBTVEMTIOW •
We have received New York dates as late
ast he 16th instant, but none of theta contain
the address and resolutions adopted by tbe
Philadelphia Convention.
The following preamble, sent ps by our
Philadelphia correspondent, which was laid
on the desks of members on the first day of
tbe meeting, we suppose embraces tbe gen
eral principles of both the address and reso
lutions, and may be regarded as the plat
form of the National Union party:
The National Union Party, in order to restore har
mony and fraternal feeling throngbout the country;
to cement more tally and firmly the nnlon of all tbe
States: to extend the blessings of Liberty and estab
lish Justice for aU our people, do make the following
declaration of Principle* and Policy:
First. Tbe Principles of Republicanism enunciated
by Jefferson in hia inaugural message, and afterwards
maintained by Jackson, and now re-usserted and ex
emplified by President Johnson, are tbe basis princi
ples of the National Union Party.
Second. The Union of these States is in every oase
indissoluble and perpetual; and the Constitution of
the United 8tatea, and tbe laws passed by Congress in
pursuance thereof, supreme and constant, and univer
sal in their obligation.
Third. Tbe rights, the dignity, and the equality of
the States in the Federal Union, including the right of
Representation in Congress, are solemnly guarantied
by the Constitntion.
Fourth. There is no right anywhere to dissolve the
Union or to separate tha States from the Union, either
by voluntary withdrawal, by force of anna, of ty Con
gressional action: 1
riftb. Negro slavery is abolished, and neither can
nor ought to be re-eetablished in any State or Terri
tory within onr jurisdiction.
Sixth. Each State bas tbe undoubted right to pre
scribe the qualifications of its own electors; and no
external power rightfully can or ought to dictate to,
control or influence the free and voluntary ansfon of
the States in the exercise of that right. Nevertheless,
as it is the privilege and duty of every people to be
eqnal to the changes that attend their development
and history,
Seventh, We reeommend the electoral people of the
several State* composing the American Union, now
that slavery is abolished, to institute each measures
and adopt such policy aa will speedily secure to ail
persons, irrespective of color, impartial rights, immu
nities and privileges.
Eighth. The American Continent is snored to tbe
cause of Democratic Republicanism; and tha Ameri
can people can never, therefore, regard with indiffer
ence the attempt of any European Power to over
throw by foroa, or tosuj*Unt by fMud, me destitu
tions of any Republican Government on the Western
Continent And any continuance or further attempt
of this kind will be viewed in the light of a menace to
tbe peace and independence of the United States, and
therefore cause of war.
Ninth. The national fUth, pledged for tbe redemp
tion of the public debt, must be kept inviolate, an d
that for this purpose we earnestly recommend econo
my and rigid responsibility in publio expenses, and a
rigorous and just system of taxation.
Tenth. Tbe foreign emigration, which in the put
has added so much to the wealth, development or re
sources and increase of power to this nation—the asy
lum of the oppressed of all nations—ahoaid he' foster-
- ed and encouraged by a liberal and just policy.
Eleventh. Tbe people of the late rebellious States
having surrendered to the national authority, and
having shown a readiness to return in spirit and
truth, to the principles ot Government pat forth by
our common fathers, it is our duty as brothers of one
national family, to forget the past, and tarivw by true
emulation to perpetuate the principles of American
civilization.
A General Amnrsty.—A special dispatch
from Washington to the New York Post,
states confidently that a proclamation will
be immediately issued le-establisbing the
Habeas Corpus in all the States, and practi
cally terminating the military occupation of
the Southern' States. The Richmond Times
credits the announcement, and adds: Msy
we not hope that the noble and unfortunate
statesman now langniaUng in prison and
enduring tbe slow tortures of Inqnisitor
Miien, will not be excluded from ite inefciful
provisions.
rrr...
Her* is an extract £rom|the latefspeech of
General Geary, of Pennsylvania, delivered
before a radical auditory in New York u a fff#
days since. We commend it for ita diction,
and the author for his modesty:
I am a soldier (applause), and am m°ro ac
customed to set squadrons in the field (than
to put together figure* of rhetoric pleasant to
your ears. A brave nun is here who you all
delight to honor—Governor Curtin—(ap
plause)—he will be more pleasing to you to
listen to than I can be. I have set, as I said,
squadrons in the field, and never met defeat.
[COMMUNICATED. ]
Registration of Voters—Tbe Approach
ing City Klectioa—obstruction* in Sa
vannah Riwer.
Mr- Editor—Permit me, through the col
umns of your journal, to call attention to the
apparent apathy which exists among onr
citizens in reference to their registration as
voters, without which they will be disquali
fied from voting at the municipal election,
which takes place in October. There are
probably fifteen hundred persons resident in
the city, legally entitled to vote at. said elec
tion, but up to tbe present time only a little
more than half that number have registered
their names. By the terms of the law the
registry closes on tbe first Monday in Sep
tember—two weeks from to-day—after which
all persons having foiled to register will be
precluded from voting. In ordinary times it
might be deemed unnecessary to admonish
citizens of the importance of securing the
right to vote at the city election; but as the
times are sadly out of joiut, and most per
sons feel little interest in political matters,
the writer does not consider it necessary to
offer an apology for obtruding it upon their
attention.
I think that at the present juncture, when
our political status is^so uncertain and illy de
fined, no one will deny the importance of se
lecting our very best men as candidates for
Mayor and Aldermen of the city; none but
men of approved intelligence, patriotism,
firmness and zeal, should be clothed with
power. The maintenance of a good City
Government, which includes a faithful exe
cution of tbe laws and ordinances, the pre
servation of the public peace, the levying of
just and equitable taxes, the maintenance of
an effective police, tbe enforcement of proper
regulations for the preservation of tbe public
health, and all tbe other items which are in
cluded iu the idea of a good City Govern
ment, appeals to. the interest of every in
habitant, and should be a subject of interest
to every good citizen. Such an administration
of public affairs can only be expected at the
bands of intelligent and conscientious offi
cials, and such can be elected only by the
determination of citizens to register and vole
for the best man.
In connection with a consideration of the
interests of the city, I would refer to the im
portance of the prompt removal of tbe ob
structions from our river and harbor. If this
is not thoroughly dooe, Savannah, as a com
mercial point, must seriously suffer, and
carry with it a corresponding depreciation of
tbe value of property, of the businesa of the
merchant, the profit of the tradesman, the
employment of the mechanic, and the liveli
hood of the laborer. The interests of all are
involved, and must suffer alike. To carry out
effectually tbe removal of the obstructions,
we should have at the head of city affairs
men of knowledge and experience in such
matters, who can promptly decide whether
the work is being faithfully performed, and
the interests of the city secured. If persons
without know ledge and experience are placed
in authority for the next year, the city has
no guarantee that the benefits anticipated
will accrue. Contractors may or may not
carryout their contracts, obstructions pre
judicial to the commercial interests may be
overlooked or allowed to remain, and there
fore the city should-have a vigilant represen
tative, who can watch over her interests and
apply the corrective, should ft become neces
sary, by appealto the President (ft the United
States,: ae waMecoHly moat eencemfolly ac

Colonel John D. Ashton.—We team from
the Waynesboro Times that this gentleman,
who was recently wounded in this city, ar
rived at that place on the 16th inst, and is
rapidly recovering.
The “Radical Soldiers" of Missouri held a
Convention at tit Louis en tbe lltb instant,
Gov. Fletcher, Gen. Logan and other de-
stinguisbed Radicals being present, aed de
dared in tavorof unrestricted negro suffrage,
denounced President Johnson very bitterly,
and, amoDg other resolutions; adopted the
following:
Resolved, That it belongs to the victors
and not to the vanquished to dictate the
terms of restoration; - that the rebellious
States have no right to representation until
they comply with such conditions as the
loyal people through Congress may prescribe;
and that the public safety and honor require
that no such State be restored to rnpresen
tation until its government is controlled by
loyal men and not by rebels.
A Duel.— We learn from a gentleman
who was near tbe scene, says the Abbeville
Banner, that a dnel was fought at Mosley’s
Ferry, on the Abbeville side of the Savannah
river on the 4th inst., between Capt. Birch
and Mr Knight, young lawyers from Elber-
ton. The distance was eight paces, and
there was to be no proposition' of adjust
ment previous to the third fire. At the sec
ond-fire, however, Mr. Knight was. shot
through both thighs. The Wound, though
painful, is a flesh one, and not regarded dan

FEVER AND AGUE EXTINGUISHED
Martyrs to Intermittent Fewr, a word with you. The
reaponeiblUty for your suffering rests upon your
selves. Just as surely as you shake to-day. or will
shake to-morrow, HOSTRTTER’S CELEBRATED
STOMACH BITTERS will extinguish the disease un
der which yon labor. Had yon taken this genial
tonic as a preventive, you would have nj need of it
as a cure, for it renders the Bystem Impervious to all
miasmatic fevers. But since you neglected the pre
caution, rid yourselves without delay of the com
plaint by resorting to the only reliable remedy.*-
Break the chUls with HOSTRTTER’S BITTERS, and
they will return no more. This is the experience of
thousands, and it will be yours. Quinine is a slow
means of reUef; it to nauseous to tbe last degree
Is more dangerous than the malady Itself; In many
cases it utterly falls. How different Is the effect of
the Brrruns. Their emotive action is rapid; they are
agreeable to the palate: they are not only entirely
harmlens, but tend inevitably to etrengthea the con
stitution and prolong life; they never bav. failed, and
it is confidently assumed that they never can fail iu
any case of Fever and Ague, however inveterale in
Its character. To be without Hostetter’s Bluer* in
any region infested with Intermltt.nt or Remittent
Fever is simply to reject safety and court disease.
