IniPTlie reception of the Southern military in Massachusetts is a grand event. It is the wisest and best exempli cation of the practi cal style of the “ shaking hands across the Moody chasm.”— At.

Since Thermopylae and lirad dock's ruin sueh a complete slaughter has not been recorded in history.— At. Const. J. M. Davis, of Emanuel county, killed a turkey gobbler in the O’geeehee swamps, weighing forty (40) pounds, which aforementioned •• bird” had a beard thirteen (13) inches long. IjF’The cotton crop of the present, com pared with last year, in many of the larger growing sections, is put down as less favor able and ten days to two weeks later than the previous year. I During last week, 6th and 7th instants, fearful storms and floods occurred in the Northwest, principally in lowa, which de stroyed a Urge amount of property, and dur ing wbieh many lives were lost. A negro preacher, in translating to his •hearers this verse, “The harvest is over, the season is ended, and thy soul is not saved,” put it, “ De corn has been cribbed, dere ain’t any more work, and de debhi! is still foolin' wid dis community.” — Chron. <s• Seri. IjF*A great manj* deaths have been caused lately in different localities by strokes from lightning. People should be careful where they “ take up” at during a thunder shower. However, with the utmost precaution, the sad dest accidents take place. IdPGovernor Hayes has written a letter ac cepting the Republican nomination.

Every oue who sees it predicts that it will weigh 600 pounds by the time it is grown. RPSlanderous reports having been put in circulation concerning and derogatory to the character of the Pastor of the Baptist church at Greenesboro', Ga., Rev. C. H. Strickland, a conference of his church examined into the matter and found the reports to be false and malicious, hence they exonerated the worthy Pastor. But, to “ cap the climax,” the origi nator of these slanderous reports was sum marily excluded from the church. FALL ELECTIONS—THE OUTLOOK. “Coming events cast their shadows be fore.” Says the Nashville American: — As the result of the Presidential canvass is like ly to be influenced more or less by the fall State elections, as indicating the drift of public sentiment, information concerning the States that are to have elections preceding the November ballot, becomes interesting. The first State election is that of North Car olina, Thursday, August 3, good for the De mocracy. The next is that of our neighbor the State of Kentucky, Monday, August 7, which may be scored in advance for the De mocracy by a telling majority. The next three State elections are in Vermont, Califor nia, and Maine, the sth, 6th and 11th Sept., successively, in the order named. Vermont, which comes first in that month, will go Re publican. The.election next day following in California is of importance as significant of the feeling of the whole Pacific slope. The parties are pretty equally divided, each claim ing a majority; and both will struggle earn estly for success. The Chinese labor ques tion will enter largely into the State canvass and may have more influence than national politics in determining the result. So far as platform professions go, the Democratic pol icy seems to have the call with the Pacific State people. Maine is, of course, Republi can, but it will be interesting to note the effect upon the Rpeuhlican majority by rea son of the defeat of Blaine. The first State that elects in October is Georgia, which being emphatically for Til den, will go Democratic with a shout and a charge. On the second Tuesday in this month (Oct. 10,) there will he State elections in Nebraska, lowa, West Virginia, Indiana and Ohio. The first two are claimed by the Republicans, but West Virginia is pretty safe for the Democratic nominee. Indiana will now surely go Democratic, and if her Democratic majority is increased itwill coun terbalance every probable loss in Ohio. The last State election prior to the Presidential election falls on the first Monday of Novem ber—too near the Presidential election to affect it in any perceptible degree, though it will be tbe last “say” before the final and decisive hug. Overhauling, for revision, our estimate of probabilities, made immediately after the [Cincinnati nominations, let us see in what light the situation is presented by the St Louis nominations and platform. The whole number of Presidential electors to be chosen is 366 (without Colorado). It will require 184 eleetorial votes to choose a President. There are fourteen States having 134 electo ral votes that we will concede to the Repub licans, though we have hopes of Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In the event of a tidal wave, something like the log-cabin revolution of 1840, there is no tell ing how many of these fourteen States might go for Democratic reform. Per contra, there are seventeen States having 175 electoral votes that may be set down as certain for Tilden and Hendricks. The division of these thirty-one states is given below, and it will be observed we concede Ohio to the Re publicans, and even class Indiana among the contested States, as follows : Ho yes $ Wheeler. —lowa, 11 ; Kansas, 5 ; Maine, 7 ; Massachusetts, 13 ; Michigan, 11; Minnesota, 5; Nebraska, 3; New Hampshire, 5; Vermont, 5; Ohio, 22; Pennsylvania, 29 ; Rhode Island, 4 ; South Carolina, 7 ; Wisconsin, 10.—Total, 137. Tilden and Hendricks. —Alabama, 10; Ar kansas, 6 ; Delaware, 3; Florida, 4 ; Georgia, 11; Kentucky, 12; Louisiana, 8; Maryland, 8; Missouri, 15; Mississippi, 8; North Car olina, 10; New Jersey, 9; Texas, 8; Ten nessee, 12; Virginia, 11 ; West Virginia, 5; New York, 35.—Total, 175. In the remaining six States are 54 electo ral votes, as follows: Connecticut, 6 ; Illinois, 21 ; Indiana, 15 ; California, 6 ; Oregon, 3 ; Nevada, 3—54. The Democratic ticket will require but nine electoral votes from these half dozen States to elect, and these are reasonably as sured from Indiana, if not from the two Pa cific States. But the Republican ticket must get 47 electoral votes out of these six States to elect; this would require nearty all of them, including Indiana—which is not even probable. With Hendricks on the ticket we insist we can rightfully claim, and with cer tainty, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illi nois, for, in addition to the wide spread hos tility in those States to the financial policy of the Republicans, Mr. Wheeler’s prolonged and determined opposition in Congress to the Ohio river improvements will greatly weaken the Republican ticket in all of the Ohio River States. It cannot be denied but that the showing is flattering. But this fact should not beget that over-confidence which relaxes into apathy. There is still enough of uncertainty about the ultimate result to give edge and spice to the conflict, and our calculations are based on the assumption that with the mighty and momentous interests at stake, the opposition to the party in power will be vigorous and unremitting. We can afford to take no chances. It may be the last struggle for liberty on this continent. tdF’A riot occurred in Hamburg, S. C., be tween a negro military company and some white citizens, headed by Gen. M. C. Butler, in which seven ©r eight negroes were killed and several more wounded. There was one white man killed and another wounded. This occurred on Saturday night last. Peace had been restored at last advices. This is the “ beginning of the end.” Ages of the Candidates. —Judge H. V. Johnson is 63 years of age; Gen. Colquitt and Col. Hardeman are between 45 and 50 years ; Judge Reese is over 50 years. We do not count Mr. James in the ring at all.— Tel. $• Meet. Hon. B. H. Hill. We are permitted to make the following extract from a private letter from Hon. B. 11. Hill, dated Washington, D. C., June 27th, to a gentleman in this place, says the Carnes ville (Franklin C 0.,) Register of the Bth. It settles a rumor that has been currently cir culated, to the effect that he would no longer, after the expiration of the present session, be before the people of the 9th Congressional District. It likewise breathes words of wis dom such as only “our Ben”—the Ajax of Southern statesmen—can utter. Read it: “The rumor that I would decline to serve the people of the 9th Congressional District, after the expiration of the present term, is not correct. I feel under many obligations to the people of the District, and shall be at their service as long as they desire me. The truth is, it requires some training here to en able a man to get ready to be useful. The field, here, is a broad one. I have no desire to remain here for any selfish purpose. In deed, it is a great loss of both ease and pro fit for me to be in Congress, but I am wil ling to do all I can in the great work of re storing a Constitutional Union on the basis of Southern honor and manhood.” The worthy Son of a Noble Sire. The friends of the Hon. 11, P. Bell—and they are many—will hear with pride and sat isfaction, of the success of his son. Mr. G. L. Bell, a member of the ‘ Kappa Alpha Order,’ who took the prize as the best Essayist, at a recent convocation of that Order, in Rich mond, Va. The Clarion, published at Cam ming, the home of Mr. Bell, explains thusly : The Kappa Alpha Order, a secret literary society, composed of members from the va rious colleges, met in convention, a few days ago, in Richmond. As we understand, each society of the Order appoints, or elects, one of its members to read an essay at the Con vention of the Order, and that, after a criti cal examination by competent judges, a fine medal is awarded to the one who reads the best essay. This high honor and proud dis tinction was conferred on Mr. G. L. Bell, his essay having been one of such superior me rit, among a number of high literary charac ter, that the medal was awarded to him. A Pet Counterfeit. Seldom have passers of counterfeit money clung so fondly to one bogus bill as they have to the imitation $5 notes on the First National Bank of Northampton, Mass. Since the second week in May, persistent efforts have been made in this and other large cit ies to palm off the pet imitation note of the utterers of false money. On May 14th a full description of the bogus bill was publish ed in our pages, and as the false representa tive of value still circulates so freely we say again that these pretended ss, on the First National of Northampton, Mass., are remark ably well executed, and are no doubt printed from the same plates that were used in the manufacture of the bogus Fives on the First National Bank of New Bedford. In the Cen tennial rush strong efforts are certain to be made to palm off the worthless Northampton Notes. The safest plan now is to refuse all five dollar bills purporting to have been is sued by that institution.— Petersons' Coun terfeit Detector. Getting Ready for War. A New York letter, of Thursday, says ; “ A cable from London reports that Austria and France are bujdng heavily of provisions, it is supposed because of a fear that war can not be much longer delayed. These reports, coupled with the aspect of Turkish affairs and the fall in the British and French funds, have stiffened gold. Cotton rules quiet and the bears are pointing to the shipment of ten bales of new crop from the Rio Grande as in dicative of a very forward season. They also regard the Turkish troubles as again threat ening the peace of Europe, and so between the Rio Grande shipment of cotton and the Eastern difficulties, they are disposed to sell the market down on every favorable oppor tunity. That the room is generally bearish is plain to be seen, though the closing figures show some improvement. The Heathen Chinee. Last Monday one of the cars of the excur sion train from Augusta to Toccoa broke down, and the occupants of the broken car sought seats in other cars. Among the un seated passengers were a number of ladies, who looked in vain for that gallantry which Southern gentlemen arc supposed to possess. But one gentleman offered his seat to a lady, and that gentleman was a Chinaman! We believe that it is the rule at the North for gentlemen to retain the scats for which they have paid, no matter how many ladies in the carmay be without seats ; but in the South a different cwstwu has prevailed, and we re gret to have to chronicle a breach of this creditable custom, by a ear load of Southern gentlemen. A falling off in deference to wo man is a sure indication of a retrograde civil ization.—At. Commonwealth. Nevertheless, notwithstanding, moreover— some of our good people arc vociferous in their “ missionerv appeals” in behalf of the “heathen Chinee.” Brethren, “the Greeks are upon you!'" — Forest News. BP Atlanta will be remarkable in spite of all efforts to the contrary. The Common wealth, ot Thursday evening, says; Twelve months since there were two couples married in this city at precisely the same hour; a child was born to each at the same hour ; last week both children died at the same hour, and were buried at the same hour, in two ad jacent sections at Oakland cemetery. The parties are in no wise related, and, we learn, are not even acquaintances. Mutual friends have observed and reported these remarkable coincidences.

Six Negroes and One White Man Rilled* Augusta, July 9th.—The riot at Hamburg terminated disastrously this morning between two and three o’clock. Six negroes were killed and three wounded. The killed are James Cook, town marshal, A. T. Attaway, Albert Merritt, Moses Parker, Dave Phillips, and Hamilton Stephens. The wounded are Butler Edwards, Pompey Curry, and John Thomas. One white man, Mackey Merri wether, was killed, and another, Robert Mor gan, was wounded. After the whites fired four or five rounds from a piece of artillery, the negroes retreated from the brick building into the cellars and out-houses of adjoining buildings. Fifteen or twenty were captured and the balance, iucludiug Capt. Doc Adams, escaped into the country. It is reported that some of the prisoners were shot after being captured. In conversation with Trial Justice Rivers, colored, this afternoon, he said: “ I was not in command, and did not call upon the white citizens to aid me in disarming the negroes. I tried to avoid difficulty and prevent blood shed. I advised the officers of the company to surrender their arms, but they were afraid and refused. They said they could take care of themselves. lie said the cause of the dif ficulty was that on the fourth of July the company was out on parade in Hamburg, and would not make way for two men in a car riage and buggy to pass. Gen. Mac Butler was employed by Robert Butler, to prosecute Adams and other promi nent negroes for obstructing the highway. On the fourth, Robt. Butler and another citi zen of Edgefield county, while driving thro’ the town of Hamburg, were interrupted by a colored militia company, who blocked up the public highway and prevented them from proceeding on their way home. Complaint was made by Butler to Prince Rivers (col.), a Trial Justice, who summoned witnesses to investigate the matter. The case was set for a hearing yesterday afternoon, at 4 o’clock ; but Rivers did not know until he heard the evidence, whether he would sit as trial jus tice, or order a court martial for the trial of the officers, he being major general of militia. The day previous, Justice Rivers and Doc Adams had some angry words, when the lat ter was ordered under arrest for contempt, but refused compliance with the order of the court. Gen. Butler proposed to settle the matter before the court if he would disarm, but this proposition was declined and the case did not come up for hearing. Rivers adjourned his court and used his influence with Adams to disarm his men, which he re fused to do. The company assembled in a brick building, determined to fight it out. The white citizens of Edgefield, aided by the people from the Georgia side, laid seige to the building about 8 o’clock last night, with result as above stated. The unfortunate affair is deplored by all good citizens of both races, and there is deep regret that better counsels did not prevail. The dead were buried to-day. Merriwether was the first man killed. Crowds of people from Augusta visited Hamburg. The whites and blacks intermingled freely; there were deep regrets, but no threats, that blood had been shed and that lives were lost. There is no further trouble anticipated.— Tel. At. Con. Tribute of Respect. Whereas, Divine wisdom has seen fit to afflict this community and envelop the vari ous schools and societies of Dahlonega in sadness and gloom, by removing from our midst by the chilly hand of death our beloved sister, Miss Julia Wills, whose lovely char acter, modest and graceful deportment, un tiring zeal and Christian benevolence have ever stood as a model for emulation during her sojourn among us ; therefore, be it Resolved , That we recognize the power of God in this, His dispensation of Providence, and bow with humble submission to llis de cree, knowing that He doeth all things well. Resolved . That while the Baptist Sunday School, the N. G. A. College, the Yahoola Council, U. F. TANARUS., and the Corona Ilederae Society have lost a faithful, beloved member, and humble devoted Christian, heaven has gained another saint. Resolved , That we tenderly condole with the heart-stricken family, thus bereft of their darling daughter, and tender loving sister, and devoutly commend them for consolation in their hour of trial and affliction, to Him who orders all things for the best, and whose chastisements are meant in mercy. Resolved , That while we mourn the loss of our departed sister, and deeply sj’mpathize with those who were bound to her by the nearest and dearest ties, we share with them the hope of a re-union in that better land, where there arc no more partings, and bliss ineffable forbids all tears. Resolved, That the preamble and resolu tions, now adopted, be transmitted to the family of the deceased, spread upon the re cord of the Baptist Sunday School, preserved in the archives of the College, recorded in the minutes of the Yahoola Council, recorded in the minutes of the Corona Ilederae Society', and presented to the Mountain Signed, Adver tiser, Students' Herald, Christian Index, and Forest News, for publication.

Mr. Editor Dear Sir:— Will you be so kind as to allow me space in your paper this week for the publication ol this brief lettes, concerning the most extraordinary cure that Dr. Greenwade, of Jefferson, has performed on me. I was taken some months ago with Dropsy, being swelled from my feet to my face, as the people of Jefferson all know, as they saw me when I appeared for treat ment at Dr. Greenwade’s office. The cure seems to me to be miraculous, because I never thought so complete a case of Dropsy could be cured, 'es pecially one being in such bad health as I have been in for the past several years. 1 thought proper that the'public should know this, as there are so many dropsical people in the county, and as Dr. Greenwade is having most ex cellent success in the treatment of all old chronic diseases. I know of a great many that he has and is curing all over the country. I think the Dr. a most excellent gentleman as well as a most ex cellent physician. I will say further that the Dr. used no strong medicine in curing me. lam now able to labor in the field. Yours, most truly, Jos. W. McEntire.

The National Democratic Party will this year make a bold, vigorous, and doubtless successful strug gle for the maintenance and supremacy of those principles which are vital to the prosperity of the Republic and essential to the well-being of the people. In addition to the Presidential election, the peo ple in Georgia and Florida will elect new State governments. In Florida the campaign promises to be unusually vigorous, and there is a proba bility that for the first time since the war the peo ple of that Radical-ridden State will elect a Dem ocratic State government. In these campaigns the people of the South are deeply interested; and every intelligent citizen, who has the welfare of his country and his section at heart, should ac quaint himself with every detail of the great work of redemption and reform that is now going on. To this end he should subscribe to and assist in circulating the .B’A VANN AH MORNING -A E II S, an independent Democratic newspaper, of pronounced opinions and fearless in their ex pression ; a paper that is recognized everywhere as the best daily in the South. Its editorial de partment is vigorous, thoughtful, and consistent, while its news and local departments are marvels of industry and completeness. Its department of Georgia and Florida affairs is not confined to a mere barren summary of events transpiring in those States, but is enlivened by comment at once apt, timely, and raev. The ample resources of the establishment will be devoted to furnishing the readers of the Morning News with the latest intelligence from all parts of the world, through the press dispatches, special tele grams, and by means of special correspondence; and through these agencies the paper will be the earliest chronicler of every noteworthy incident of the political campaign of 1876.
