The Atlanta Evening Post is a newsy and sprightly little journal. About the sweetest things in girls drones this season is the girls them selves. We were treated to some very heavy fr< stson last Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings. These cool evenings remind one that the fall has “pooled its issues,’’ : r:d the summer must go. Stove-pipes are setting a good example by coming out in their last winter’s soot. Economy is wealth. Some of the public wells around town have almost got to be a public nuisance. We notice repairs being made on some of them again. The raiud of toe small boy runs so on wild grapes and chestnuts that he is unable to attend Sunday school. He has to wander in the woods. Only thirteen days more and the trouble will be over, we will know who is elected, will settle down once more to business, and allow pol ities to take a rest. An exchange declares that a man. who will read a newspaper three or four years without paying for it will pasture a goat on the grave of his grandfather. About these days the cattle belong ing to the farmer who talks politics and likes to go to town are gnawing their way into the straw stacks for winter shelter. The grand Lester barbecue and basket picnic comes off next Thurs day-only one week off. Don’t miss it; it will be well worth many years of yur life to attend.

Having been informed that we were in error in regard to the shoot ing of little Pearl Dewese last week, we hasten to make the necessary cor rection. The deed was done by a - mail boy by the name of Keyes, and not by her little brother, as westated. The affair is sad enough, it matters not who cc mmitted it. They were leaning over the gate of Tennessee street residence one night I T week, their heads were bowed down until they were on a direct paralel, and as they gazed fondly at each other, soliloquized : “Our meetings, pet. are just as sweet A- lover’s meetings e’er should be.

O’Shields, the boy who has just been released from jail on one charge has already found his way back on another—this time for grand larceny. He stole a valuable gold watch, a S2O gold piece and some other money from the store of Mr. Jas. A. Stephens, on Main street, some two weeks back. The articles were missed, and suspicion wa- at tached to him. Before the burglary was committed he had a dog with him belonging to C. F. Stephens, which followed him into the store when he took the articles, and on his exit he left the (login Free’s room on the second floor, which circumstance led to His detection, as it wa3 con clusive that he left the dog in the room, as it was last seen with him. He was brought before Judge Trippe for a hearing last week, which result ed in his being bound over to wait the assembling of the next session of the Superior Court when he will be tried.

Brewster, editor Cherokee Georgian, has given to the public what he knows about a communica tion signed “A Wool Hat,” and re quested you to copy the same, will you allow me space in your columns to give all the facts of the case in re ply? I ask this, that the grand arbi ter to which he appeals and to which he remits me, may have other than an exparte statement upon which to predicate judgment. We had equal interest in the Cherokee Georgian; 1 was its business manager; I had charge of all the mail due our office, as well as of his private mail. This latter I had by his special request, so that I might send it to him with the papers due our subscribers in liis neighborhood. He lived about six miles from the oflice. I was there every daj\ Sometimes he would not be in the oflice for two or three weeks. No communication every appeared in our paper, I did not examine. Many came that we never published; many that Mr. Brewster never saw. About the first of SeptemDer, 1870, “A Wool Hat” came to the office in due course of mail. I opened it and read it. Col. Jas. R. Brown was in the oflice at the time. I showed it to him. It struck me forcibly that it would be a fraud to publish it. I asked him his opinion of it, and showed him a note accompanying the communication, which began : “Dear Bro. Brewster,” and was signed R. A. Felton. (Mrs. Felton) I did this because, here, she said, she was the author of the com munication. Col. Brown and I agreed in our views about it. I theu decided I would not publish it. I kept it, however, and gave it to Mr. Brewster the first time I saw him. I did this because of the private note that came in the same envelope. We were in the oflice when I gave it to him. He read it. We talked about it, I gave him my objections to it. I told him then, it was a fraud; that I would not publish it; that I would not give the voice of Mrs. Felton to the farm ers, as the voice of a farmer from Ca- j toosa, when such was not true. You see, we call cur farmers here “wool hat boys.” It was open when I gave it to Mr. Brewster. I open my let ters at the end. He saw the address ; saw all about it. It was addressed to our paper. It was understood ex pressly by Mr. Brewster that I would uot consent to run our paper in the interest of Dr. Felton, yet no word escaped him them about private correspondence; nothin; a’ooui the address. He took it home with him ; came back in a few days and bought me out. lie requested me to remain in the oflice at least long enough to close out our books. I continued five or six weeks ; my sons, who were in the office with ir ‘ re mained until January, and u.a onoj word, all this time, was heard aJout this “private correspondence.” Col. Brown obtained his information tidi ly, I invoked his judgment upon j the communication ; hega'D it to me , freely and fully. It is true we talked about its publicity, and we agreed not to use it during the then campaign, unless we became satisfied that Dr. Felton endorsed it. lam not aware of any law in the code of “profession al honor” that requires a man to be come a party to any fraud, or remain silent when he sees others trying to | influence the votes of the people by fraudulent means. I think if Mr. Brewster will reflect but a moment he will be forced to conclude that he expresses himself a little too strong in saying, “Opened jin my absence.” No, sir, your pri vate mail never, but our maßeften. “Previous to the time (of Wool Hat) Mr. Ddwda had been connected.” (with the office) Yes, sir, and after wards too. “My private Correspond ence.” Yes, sir, the note was private, but I did not know it until I opened the letter. Mr3. Felton did not want anybody but you to know that she wrote “A Wool Jlat.” T Yes, sir, it was priVate. The whole communication of Mr. Brewster glows with a malicious in tent. He tries to create an impres sion not warranted by the facts. I did not know, when I gave him a certificate about that note, I that was furnishing a weapon with which I was to be smitten. lie said Mrs. Fel ton wanted it. It may be, however, that he only aims the blow at the nominee of the Democratic party ; that he desires to become a rival trib utary to that grand current of slander that is being poured upon his head. No fair minded mail holds. Jqdge Lester responsible for acts life flbee not in some way endorse. I have yet to learn that, while I extend the hand of Esau, it is right to utter my words in the voice of Ja cob. James O. Dowda. P. S. Cherokee Georgian and the Field and Fireside please copy. CAMPAIGN PAKAtIBAPHS. Why is it that men are trying to break up the Democratic party all over the SLata ? WirfU. Farm his it done that it should mJ&t tliSFstrOhg opposition of men who want office? — [Cuthbert Appeal. That staunch paper, the Columbus Times, in speaking of Gen. Gordon’s i steadfastness to the Democratic cause iu time of peril, and of the threats made through the independent pa pers to defeat him for the next Sen ate says: The mere statement of the case is sufficient to show that such politicians have about as much chance to defeat Gordon as the little bull did to butt the engine off the track. It it plainly the Republican hope that the Potter Committee will hold no more sessions. The Bridgeport Farmer thinks that tho committee will reassemble and call on the editor of the New Tribune to state bow and where he obtaine 1 the “cipher dis patches,” as a short and easy way of finding Zich. Chandler’s secret dis patches, which were smuggled away from the telegraph office by Morton and Orton and successfully conceal ed. Hon, Wm. E. Smith has written an open letter to C. 11. C. Willing ham, denying iu toto the charge that he (Smith) favored Felton’s election - This denial was not necessary here, but it may be in the Seventh. When Toombs and Stephens countenance Felton’s candidacy, some men might be green enough to imagine that Tete Smith would, butTe-tu has more sense and principle than to do such a thing.—[Thomas vilie Enterprise. Speaking of Judge Lester, GeneuJ John B. Gordon said: “You have nominated a man who has all the courtesy of a gentleman, all the hon esty of a Christian, all the eloquence of the advocate,-and the wisdom ol the statesman. But T speak for the cause of the Sou th—the cause of gov ernmont —the cause of local self-gov ernment—the cause of American lib erty, and the cause of American lib erty Is the cause of human liberty throughout the civilized world. It is for this high and holy cause that 1 am here to battle to-day. It is not the man. No ! no! Let personal interest and personal aggran disement all perish ; but let the party of constitutional government live and fight on. lam told that men claim ing to be Democrats—claiming to be true to your cause, stand on the ros trum and assail the only party that saved Georgia, and are battling for the Constitution of the fathers, and never utter one word of complaint against the power that sought your overthrow to secure your ruin. Is it true—is it true that nun seek Demo cratic votes—seek Democratic support and yet will stand before you and never raise their voice to warn the young men of thojeountry against an alliance with such a party as that.— [John B. Gordon. The Cartersville Express of last week says of Gen. Gordon : “lie is a man who is always right, etc.,’’which is a vindication ol Dr. Felton, as every vote he has cast in Congress has been with Gordon.—[Cherokee Georgian. Just here there is some mistake. Some of your organs charged that Felton and Gordon voted differently upon tiie army bill, but admitting that what you say is so, what is the use of electing Felton, disrupting the party and affiliating with Radicals, when the election of Lester will har monize our discords, heal our ranks, and east a vote thftd. will be with Goi don all the time. And again, if what you say is so, Gordon is always right, the abuse and villainous charges ot your allies, the independent organs, to the contrary notwithstanding. The next lower house of Congress will be Democratic by an increased majority,notwithstanding the trouble occasioned by the Green backers. In eight States which have had their elections this year, the Congressmen in the last session, according to the Constitution’s figures, stood, 39 Re publicans to 16 Democrats; but this year’s elections make the showing in theseStiltes 23 Republicans to 23 Dem ocrats, and 4 Greenbackers. The Re publicans have lost 11 Congressmen, while the Democrats have gained 7, and the Greenbackers 4. Of the mem bers yet to be elected, tire Democrats elected, two years ago, 111, and the Republicans 97. Had the Greenback ers been out o r the way the Democrats would have doubled their gains in all the States, ai >! would have carried Ohio besides. It is well known by the friends and f.jes of Dr. Felton ilial lie has said in liis public speeches everywhere that Lester lobbied, and that in; tfie rail road lease“thtffe was nocaSeln court and therefore Lester could not have received a retainer fee.” Judge Les ter has, and read in Armucheo last Saturday a certified copy of the min utes of Fulton Superior Court, having the seal of the court and signed by the clerk of the court, giving a state* ment of the case and its disposition, showing that a case was commenced and dismissed upon demurer. In the face of this Dr. Felton says there was no ease in court and has actually made some people believe it. If any one doubts that there was a case, let him write to the Clerk of Fulton Su i perior Court and know the truth. Dr. Felton may disguise and conceal the truth, but ho cannot destroy it. j He may make false impressions, but they cannot live, CttfxixT f POX TUB SEVtam Perilous times are still upon us,and the necessity for united action still cjiats.’ The brave commander comes tort lie front and says, “Ho, comrades! our rights are imperiled. We must I>e as one man again. Forward into line!”—[John B. Gordon. “The New York Evening Post brings the following heretofore unheard-of news : United Stales Senator Gordon of Georgia, who was supposed to be almost certain to be re-elected, is now confronted by two formidable antag onists, Representative Alexander H. Stephens and Mr. Ilerschel V. John son. The open letter published in our columns last week from Hon. Wm. E. Smith, to Mr. C. H. C. Willingham, editor of the Cartersville Free Press* has been commented upon quite freed ly by the Georgia press. We don’t think we are saying too much when \ye remark that it will make a good number of votes for Lester. The prime difference on the curren cy question between the Democratic and the Republican parties is, that the former only wants one national bank, and that one at the capital run by the general government, while the latter wants thousands scattered all over the country, and run by bond holders. Economy in the matter is the Democratic idea. When Gordon’s brigade wavered before the enemy in Virginia he seized the colors, closfd up their ranks and gallantly led tlrem to the charge. In the Seventh District he is leading again, and he who would not follow, in the language of the Free Press ed itor, “would tear down organization and torge the chains of political slav ery.” The Democratic party is the only party that lias in the long years since the surrender raised its voice against the oppression and misrule of the Re publican administration, the only party that has stood between us, our homes, property end liberty, and the aggressions of the Radical party; the party that has wrested Georgia from carpet bagger and Radical rule.— [John B. Gordon. When the Felton organs call Gen. Gordon a blatherskite, they little know the trouble they are stirring up. Dr. Felton’s private secretary’s husband has awakened the wrong passenger. “Scar-faced” Gordon is what the Felton organs call him. This is an excellent argument against a confederate soldier.—[Atlanta Con stitution. The practical results of Edison’s new discovery in electric light will soon bo introduced to tiie public. Those who have seen it report that the light is much brighter and at the same time softer than gas, while its cost is not to be one-third that of coal gas, with a prospect that with the early introduction of improved means of generating electricity the expense can be still further reduced. The light gives out no heat and its amount can be regulated as easily as that of gas. The Atlanta Constitution, speaking of the election of judges by the Leg islature soon to meet, very properly says: “The man who is the choice of a majority of the legislators from any particular circuit, and has the en dorsement of a majority of the mem bers of the bar of the circuit, ought to receive the unanimous support of the general assembly. ’There should be some policy to govern the Legislature and we know of none that would give more satisfaction than the policy that would fulfill the expectations of those most nearly concerned.” General John B. Gordon is leading the Democratic charge in the Seventh District. Would that our State pos sessed more Gordons, but there is none other. How refreshing in these times to note the acts of a statesman whose personal ambition stands not in the way of patriotic duty. A can didate for the United States Senate, ho goes forward among the moun tains, and speaks to the people whose legislative representatives blindly op;/ pose ids every utterance. He ckfes not fear to tell tiie truth for tiie safety of liis State, and courts no fovors. The true Democracy of Georgia will remember his services and honor him for his manhood. YELLOW FEVER NEWS.

Memphis Avalanche, 15th : “The fever is abating iu the city simply from the want of material, There are uot 500 white men, woman, and children in the city who have not had the fever. Unless absonte es come in, the death rate must decrease, frost or no frost. There will be some few of the 500 who will probably escape.” The Memphis Ledger says : “In 1855 there were heavy frosts early in October, after which the fever broke out and raged with great vir- ! ulence.

And in this connection allow me to state fur ther, that I was nominated by the Democratic party of Bartow county in 1 Sttß, as a candidate for this office, and was elected by a majority of the votes polled. But by the ruling of the au thorities that then w ere (Gov. Bullock) I was refused a commission, and it was given to an other, hence my victory was a baarren one, Siuee then I had hoped and thought that the good citizens of the county would at some time, perhaps, give me the office; and some four years ago 1, together with some twenty others of the good citizens of the county, announced mysell a canditate lor the office. But it was thought i>y a good many that the number was rather large, it not reproachful to the county, and I retired from the field ard declined to be a candidate. I now a-k the office because 1 feel greatly in need ol'i.t lam old, and well nigh physically broken down, und otherwise greatly afflicted. I ask for the office but for the one term, and if elected it will in all human probability be the last office 1 shall ever ask ol my fellow citizens, and I shall ever feel grateful to them for it.

The most profitable plan for operating in stocks is that of uniting capital of various sums by combining or pooling the orders of thousands of customers and using them as one mighty whole, which has been done..o success, fully bv Messrs Lawrence & Cos., 57 Exchange Place, N. Y. City. By the co operative system each inv/Mter is placed on an equal footing with the gest operator, and profits are di vided pi ata among shareholders every 30 days. A? investment ot $lO would pay SSO, makings per cent, on the stock dining the mouth. $25 would return $l5O, makiug 6 per cent.: SIOO would make SI,OOO, a profit of 10 per cent., and so on, according to the market. Fraßk Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper, June 20th, savs: ‘ The Combination Method of oper ating In stocks is the most successful ever adopted.” New York Independent, Sept. 12th, says: “The Combination System is founded up on correct business principles, and np person need be without au ipcoiqe While it is ke.pt wqrklng by Messrs.
