Editor Georgian—It was with the keenest disappointment that we, in common with Dr. Carlton’s many friends, in this city heard of his having been defeated in the Gainesville Con' vention. The degree of bur disap* pointment has, however, been fully equaled by thb prfde and pfateriift experienced in noting bis manly and unequivocal endorsement and support. of’life ffefnlffee of the party/* Tour correspondent had the pleasure, last Saturday and Sunday, of- visiting some of the southern counties of your district, and feeling much interested in tiie coming race, made many in quiries as to the standing of the sev eral candidates; he was surprised and mortified to find that Speer’s fallacious statement as regards the representation of the several counties, had made a deep impression upon 4 many minds, and from what we could gather, were forced to acknowl edge that the great reform candi date would receive a heavy vote. Very serious apprehensions are en tertained here, that on account of this miserable split in the party, the Republicans may elect their candi date. If such prove to be the' result, wliat a sad commentary upon the Banner Democratic State” that one of her strongest districts should be mi&rej)resented by a Republican. If this should happen, truly, will it scein as if Hayes’ policy of breaking up the Democratic phalanx of the South, will have been inaugurated even without his instigation. It will be a disgrace aud shame, not only to the Ninth District, but to the entire State of Georgia. These independents who seem more anxious lor sell-aggran dizement than for the good of our commou country, ought to, and will be eschewed. If our ranks become broken and demoralized in the face of an enemy flushed with their recent, but unholy triumpb, what hope can we entertain of any future success? Our sole strength and salvation is in unity. We must close up, shoulder to shoulde, and heart to heart, reso lutely and undauntedly support the principles upon the sqpt ess of which depends our only hope of regaining that proud position in the Union which once was ours The gallant sons of the Ninth must and will real ize the critical state of affairs. The eyes of the State are upon them, and we feel assured that they will never allow so foul a blot to appear upon their fair escitcheon. The Irishmen of our city intend celebrating St.' Patrick’s day in grand style, as has ever been their custom lu the morning, the various civil and military organizations will parade one lor two from your own classie city. ■ he* business outlook for the ng,' fa much more encouraging than had been anticipated. A tone of greater clieerfujaess seems to per- all classes of onr citizens, who scehi toliave derived much hope and lentxraragement from the so-far liberal IpoH^y of President Hayes. All seem to reel $hat we are approaching a| ier and more prosperous era, if Hayies does but act in accordance!

Others had contemplated similar suits. —It is estimated from an analysis of the fractional currency redeemed in silence since April last, that about 30 per cent, or $15,000,000 of that currency has been lost, worn out, or destroyed in some ether way, since it was issued. The amount outstand ing last April was about $50,000,000; but if $15,000,000 has been destroyed, the residue will be only $85,000,000 —and only this amount of silver will be required to redeem it. —On tlie steamship Zealandia, which sailed from San Francisco <Sn Saturday for Australia and Now Zeland, a box containing one hundred and eighty thousand white fish eggs was shipped to tho latter coleny The spawn is forwarded by the United States fish commissioners from Lakq Michigan. Trout eggs, from Cold Spring trout beds, New Hampshire, were also forwarded to the same col ony. Two California deer and twenty seven short-tailed grouse, from Utah were also forwarded to the Aukland Acclimization Society. By the next steamer, prairie chickens, Oregon gronse and pheasants, will be sent to the same destination. —All accounts from Turkey repre sent the condition of the empire as very desperate. The Sultan is dissi pated and melancholy, and the politi cal and military management have brought many evils upon the people. Famine exists in some parts. The replies of the powers to the Russian circular will be presented this week. The zeal of Russia in behalf of Chris tians in Turkey will be commended, and the retreat of Russia from her threatening position, made easy, They will also propose that the Porte be granted a term for the execution of reforms.

[“Jennie June’*” March Fashion Letter.] One of the finest trousseaus ever made for a bride was completed re cently at a cost of nearly $5,000. It consisted of underwear in linen and cambric, all lace trimmed, and much of it almost solid masses of real lace. All the skirts were trained, and all trimmed with torchon or Valenciennes lace at least a quarter of a yard wide. The cost of one of these skirts was $750. The finest linen or cambric was used in the composition of the chemises and night dresses, and the square, pompadour yokes of a num ber of them were composed wholly of lace, lined with pale pink or blue silk, and ornamented with knots of blue or pink ribbon. There were sixteen dresses; two of the paleBt blue cashmere for morning wear, one embroidered in pale lemon, the other in faint pink. An evening dress was of cream-colored damassee, combined with lemon-colored faille. There were two summer dresses of grenadine, one of white rnoslin over pink batiste, one black faille and brocade, trimmed with cardinal red, .one pale blue silk trimmed with white silk, tufted oriential gauze and beautiful fringe, and a complete suit of brown camel's hair and faille, with capote to match. Ten of the dresses had shoes of tho same shade and material, and all of them silk stockings by the half-dozen, matching the shoes. All the hosiery was silk.
