ELECTION FOr’cTty OFFICERS.
A Glorious Victory over the Know-
Nothings I
While the citizens of Atlanta are well
advised of the intense interest manifested
in the election on Monday lust; and arc
also well advised of the result thereof; we
deem it a duty we owe our readers, and
the Democratic presses abroad, U chroni
cle the event in detail, in order that the
hard fought fight, and defeat of the Know
Nothings; may be spread abroad in the i
land.
The Democracy of Ath n to, were long'
taunted with repeated annunciations that
the secret order of Khow-Notbiugs would;
take the affairs of onr city imo their own*!
keeping, mid as nt other cflies, where '
unfortunately they have succeeded in their
iirfamous designs, Atlanta, and tho.true

cal sense, we live, move, and have our b€-
’"f I ni xbt after night they were gathered ‘
together in secret eon clave, plotting the-r
disfranchisement of n portion of our citi-I
zena, and conspiring to overthrow that
principle of Republicanism, which enJUiros
to evory American citizen, liberty <>f con
science, and the right to worship his < tre
at.»r as he pleases At two recent elec'
tions, though unimportant open, thev <ud-i
eroded by their artifices in ejecting the
n«eu of thoir choice, and one of thos • waa'
hailed aa a triumph over Democracy?-*- •
What that triumph was, we have before
explained. Nothing daunted, however,
the •* ww/r’ determined npon saving 1
our rising city from thu disgrace of being <
ruled by so unscnipnlous it foe. They,
therefore, boldly presented as their candi
date for Mayor a stern and unflinching
Democrat-—one whose patriot imn had been .
• tented in the field, and whose worth in pri
vate life i» acknowledged wherever ho is I
known—and under his lead, with a ticket
for Aldermen nnexceptionnble in all re-.
apqcts, they mot their insidious toe at the i
polls. That man, was CAPTAIN ALLI
SON NELSON, and to record his tri
umph ia. now onr pleasant task—pleasant
because of its consequences, and because
what has been pronounced iwhrrWt. bt
caudh hrWhfr, w demonstrated to Imj no lun
ger so. The wund of the Magicians has
been snapped in twain, and, like Aladdin,
in the absence of his ring and his lump
all power Over their dupes has departed
from them
At the outset of the canvass which pre
ceded the election. the policy of thi.s pa
per w.wu bold, straight forward policy
We determined not t<» temporize with
these conspirators against the Uonaritution
of our beloved country. Time uud again
we were admonished thnt Democrats Imd
■Hind themselves to this secret order, and
that our nuthuoHs, as it was termed, would
present their reclamation. But we per
sisted to the infinite delight of our oppo
nents, who augured nought but success tu
tbeircau.se and their intrigue; and wc
pennate!, too. conscious of the rectitude
of our course and convinced that the best
policy was to denounce and light them
opauly, asking und giving no quarter.—
What, though Democrats theretofore faith
ful and true, had been deluded into then
midnight conclaves, and hud partak rn of
forbidden fruit P Still we folt that there
were enough yet left to maintain the right, i
and that, in no event, could the broad
banner of Democracy ever be lowered be
fore such a foe. Wc are now satiafied
that we were correct in our position, and
to <mr brethren in every quarter of the
UnuM, we send the glad tidings that
Know Nothingwm, recently so invincible,
baa auflkred a well merited defeat, after,
aimuct, superhuman efforts, iu our ffour
isbiug city.
While recording thistriumph.il affords
•a great pleasure to acknowledge the ob.
hgation, which the Uemucraey of Atlanta
owe to those Whigs who aided injihe defeat
of the Knoar Nothings on Munday. It grat
ifies itM to say that there were ur»ny of J
them who refused iudiguuutly *' to tow i
the knee to Baal’’ and who spurned alii-!
anew with the worst Anr! corrupt order
Long may they live to fight such battles,
and to triumph when they tight them !
To such, every true hearted Democr.it, will
ever extend the right hand of fellowship.
W w Ml IM®
Bvhrw will* be fotfnd* ts statement of
the polls. From it, the reader will per-!
eeive-hew*severe the struggle was. The '
organization of ths Know-Nothings was
perfect. The zeal, however, of our friends
was" equal to the contest. They met the
enemies of republican principle's with bold
hearts and bright faces, in the sunshine
:of ugLiriwus day, and nobly performed the_
duty of maintaining a sacred legacy be
queathed by the framers of the Constitu
tion who had not forgotten to reverence
the deeds of .LaFayctte, Pulaski, DeKalb
and a host of others.
As soon as the result was declared, a
large concourse, with a band of music as
sembled in front of our office, loudly call- j
ing for Captain Nelson, the Mayor elect
To this call, the gallant Nelson respond-■
ed in a happy and eloquent manner. A '
call was then made for Col. Cowart, who |
likewise responded iu his usual felicitous
style. Both the speakers were loudly
cheered by the crowd, who, after paying
their compliments at the houses of sev
eral of the successful candidates, retired
to their homes well pleased at the suc-
I ce*w attendant upon their hard day’s work.

FROM WASHINGTON.
[6'pe<ual correspondence of the Daily Examiner.] ;
Washington, Jan. 10.
I haVe been reluctantly necessitated to
permit a mass of W ishington news ty ac
cumulate in my note-book- The truth is,
the arguments in Washington forth? Com
tneinmorafion of" Gen. Jackson's distin
guished services in the War of 1812, and
| the becoming celebration of the glorious
1 Sth of January have engrossed our
thoughts and ■ monopolised our energies
during the past week. The surviving he
roes, (“soldiers” is too tame an expres
sion when every soldier was a hc.ro) were
invited from every State iu the Union, to
visit the Capitol on this national holiday,
and renew their patrioTic devotions before
the majestic and commanding form of the
immortal Jackson which the genius of
has bequeathed to the Nation. —
What patriot could witness the pageant
of to-day without yielding up his very
soul to the hallowed enthusiasm which
the occasion was so eminently calculated
to excite!
These veteran heroes, coming as they
did from States contiguous and remote,
when marching to-day through
our streets escorted by the entire Military
I of the District, a spectacle that can never
1 be forgotten by those who witnessed it. So
densely was the whole line of Pennsylva
nia avenue thronged with the thousands
1 who followed the procession on its route
to'the Executive Mansion that it would
be impossible to make any t s imate as to the
number of the veterans of 1812 who were <
i | resent. The different military Compan
ies who composed the escort counted be
tween six and seven hundred men. —
When the procession reached the Execu
tive Mansion,,the city’s guests were con
ducted to the East Boom, and were re
ceived by the President in the most cour
-1 teous and appropriate manner.
The festivities of the evening have al-.
1 ready succeeded the patriotic ceremonies
lof the day. Balls, Supper-partioß, pri-
I vate Soirees, amusements and appropriate
‘ speeches, sentiments and songs, are now
; euliveuiug the thousands in our me.tropo
-1 lis who have devoted this memorable day
i to commemorate its glories and keepalive
[ the virtues of those who shared in its
exploits.
The New York Herald is bent upon
I liidfcuig up a fuss, if it can, between the
1 President and his Cabinet, and to this end
keeps a well drilled corps of political
poets on pay in Washington, to exercise
their wits in describing quarrels, intrigues,
1 jealousies, or threats and resignations
I which have no existence save in the fertile
1 brains of these r&pectable children of ge-■
; nius. The very best,understanding, and
entire unanimity on every prominent ques
tion of public policy subsist between the
I President and bis Cabinet; and I uiuy add*
between them and leading democrats in
, both houses of Congress. There is not
1 the most distant prospect that any thing
, will, or can occur to change this state <5!
things
The effort however, of these continued
1 and systematic fabrications has been most
* disastrous to the fortunes of the Herald;
| for that paper (heretofore so earnestly
| looked for by every intelligent man in
Washington) is now read only by those
whose morbid tastes are usually gratified
by such publications as those of Paul de 1
Kock.
i Be not misled by anything the Herald;
1 may publish relative to affairs at Wash-.
ington—not even, if verified by affidavit, •
: for no man entitled to belief on oath, 1
would risk that, title in the columns of the ,
Herald .' Although the Caucus Meeting I
' of Democratic members of both Houses ol'
1 Congress, held last week, declared that
the Tariff question should be taken up as
once, and actually fixed upon to-morrow
(the 9th) to take the i/iitiative, it is gen-.
1 erallylielieved by the best informed mem
bers of both Houses that nothing of a gen
eral or prominent character will be ac
( complished, this Session, towards that
end. An effort, however, will certainly I
he made to reduce or repeal the present •
duties on Coal and Kailroad Iron—a mat- 1
ter in which the South and W«rt feel a
vital interest, at this time, in vi w of (
. their heavy Kailroad Improvements.
I will apprise you, by letter, to-morrow
evening, of what shall be done, in that
regard, and fill up the page with oth< r
items that may interest, ut least, the
| democratic portion of yeur numerous
readers.
BRUTUS
LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.
Ihe stoam ship North Star nrriwd at
New York on Wednesday morning frmn*
1 Aspinwall. She brought 200 passengers
! and 8,1119,623 in treasury.
The California mails were brought down
to Panama by the John L. Stephens.
The passengers by the Golden Age, 1
1 who left New York on the 2(»th Novein-I

December.
On the 24 December the J. L. Stephens 1
passed the Son. ra, bound up; all was qui
et at Acapulco at that date.
The North Star left Aspinwall on the
first of January, being denied two days
by a severe gale from the north, which
| caused great destruction of lite and prop
erty. The brig Firing Cloud, of New
York, was driven ashore, and wl) prove a'
j total loss. The captain and seven men
were drowned: but the mate, named Ri
ley, and two men. succeeded in reaching'
the shore.
The brig Alvarado, of New York, and
a Carthagenian schooner, were also lost.
The breakwater and wharves at Aspin
wall were badly damaged, and the wharf
1 ot the mail steamer company was almost
entirely destroyed
The Falcon, from Havannah, with the
New Orleans mail on board, was unable to
enter the port until the Ist instant, in
• consequence of heavy weather.

is rapidly approaching completion ; thirty
three miles of wire are already laid.
Tobaceo of a very superior quality has
been raised in some portions of the State.
The bridge across Trinity river at Grass
Valley, 800 fegt in length, has been com
pleted.
Some miners lately struck a rich claim
at Caldwell's garden, in Shaw’s flat; four
thousand dollars were taken out in two
days. The claim was afterwards sold for
■85,000.
The steamer New World got stranded
in the Sacramento river, but was got off
after sustaining considerable damage.

THE BANK WAR.
We admit ‘ another Richmond to the
1 held” to-day, under the aominr de
of “Kinchatbone,” in the battle of the
“Ca/s” which is now waxing hot in this
State, and invite attention to his state
ments. Indeed, we think it would puzzle
a Philadelphia Lawyer to point out any es. i
sential difference between the system of
Banking, as pursued for years, by the
Banks of Soutn Carolina, and that recent-1
ly introduced into Georgia, so far as safety
to the public is concerned. If there be
any difference it is in favor of the Banks
denominated “Wild Cat,” such as the
‘•Merehants’s Bank” of this city, the
“Bauk of Atlanta” and the Bank of the
Interior, at Griffin, inasmuch as these let
ter are parent Banks, and arc compelled
to redeem their issues in gold or silver '
here at home, while the South Carolina |
Banks have Agencies almost everywhere
in the South West, which are not com- <
pelled to pay a dollar of coin fur the cir-.
culation they put out. Now, why may 1
not the Merchant’s Bank just as legally,
and just as properly, have a circulation in '
Mississippi. Louisiana, or Alabama, pro
vided the .Merchants' Bank makes ar-1
rangements to redeem its paper at promi-;
nent points in the bounds of its circulation
in the West. The principle of the thing '
is precisely the same, though the distance
between the sire of the Bank and their
circulation may be greater in the one case ,
, than in the other. In fact, the only way 1
in which any of these Banks can sustain
; themselves is by being prepared to redeem |
their.lssues by specie or exchange at or
near par rates. So long then, as this is'
done by the new Banks of Georgia, we
; think they should have a fair showing in 1
■ the ring. ('erfrx, to the people of Georgia I
there is less risk of loss from their opera-*
tions than from numerous other Banks lo
cated out of the State, and the amount of;
whose circulation, thoir solvency, Ac., no .
man know< th.
We say, however, let the discussion go ■
on. It will do good. People will be en-j
lightened ou the subject of Banking in |
' general, its beauties and its deformities*
' and perchance they will send men to the 1
next Legislature vyho will investigate ex-;
isting abuses and reform the corrupt and
dangerous system now in vogue For our 1
' part, we are not a partisan of cither Wild
Cats or Tame Cats. Wc go in for pre- j
1 serving the people from Liss and inconve

spare not,” when wo snuff danger in the
