The Coming Struggle in the Worth and Wes*. For tho past five years, in the South, the doctrine of Slates’ rights has been en tirely effete. This has been accomplish ed and endorsed, by emphatic majorities, in both tho North and West At tho closo of tho war the Northern pooplc were drunk will* excitement and unreasonable with prejudice. Great questions of States’ rights and sovereign ty came up, and, seeming to effect only the Southern States, were disposed of with a recklessness that was indeed as tonishing. Tho people were appealed to, l>nt as the usurpations only ground down the South and her people, thoy thunder ed back replies of approbation. Thus Congress continued. The cur rent grew deeper and wider. People were forgetful of their rights and tho fu ture—they wore delirious. Tho “rebel lious" States were being dealt with. The multitude joined iu tho shout: “ Hake treason odious," regardless of State gov* erciguty and States’ rights. Ho who dared raise his voice in opposition swept down the surging current and lost a nid tho drift. Five years have gone by and the States of the South have l>cc:s prostrated—dis mantled. The creature has grown strong, while tho creator has grown weak. The South has been dis]>osed of and Fanati cism is seeking a prey elsewhere, nod what is the result ? The people of tho North and West are just beginning to realise that “curses like chickens come homo to roost.” The pop ular doctrino of centralized power and an obliteration of Stnto lines, sovereignty und rights, is being threatened, by the strong arm of Government. That which has l>een forced upon us, is being threat ened in the North and West. A telegram from Washington, dated the 25th, says : The New York World, of this morning, has an exciting editorial threatening re dress against Federal interference in elec tion, and says tho State Militia will bo held in reserve for emergencies. This morning the President issued ders to tho Commanders of all Military Posts Fast of tho Mississippi River to send nt onco to New York, all available troops iu their commands. All marines at the various Dock-yards are ordered to rendezvous at New York. It is expected that three thousand soldiers will be in New York City, by election day. The President says, ho is determined to carry out tho laws of Congress in regard to fraudulent voting, if ho has to call on the Governors of States to furnish troops. Akertmm goes to New York to assist the U.S. Marshal, during tho approach- iug day of registration. From this it will bo seen that tho Gov ernment is determined to continue the conquest The work begun here is to be finished there. Stnto sovereignty must yield to the party in power. Their suc cess is of more importance than the rights of States. Their defeat cannot be—be fore this should happen all the better principles and theories of Republican Government must go down. I’rob ibly those fellows will now think better of the political strugglo wo have r been making, and will think the truths wo havo been proclaiming were not mean ingless and idle. Thoy cun and will bet ter see und realize what they have been doing. Rut how is tho Government threaten ing V What is being done to justify the apprehension that the work of destroying States has been transferred from the South to tho North V We extract from the Savannah Xeics .- In that State (New York) tho Radical party, dispensing with the intermediary of u bayonet-packed State Legislature, as iu the ease of Georgia, to pass such fraud ulent election laws its might be necessary to secure tho election of their candidates, have, 'by an unconstitutional law of Con gress, assumed the appointment of some eight hundred Federal mauagess (loyal Radicals, of com so,) to take the entire luanngemeut of tho elections, as Bullock’* managers are to control onr election, ii we ave ever permitted to have another election in Georgia. Then tho question is purely ono of states’ rights. Has tho National Govern ment tho right to interfere in local elec tions ? Has tho National Government the right to destroy a State ? Let us see how the North likes that which they have been giving us. The Cincinnati Enquirer, in speaking of this . interference, says: This outrage upon tho rights of the pooplo by the bayonets at Washington should be luridly met and defeated at all hazard*. Every man who seeks to stand Itetween an election and the ballot-box to PT.went his reaching it—even if he wears tin Federal uniform—should be sent to the county jail or the penitenttar, if it requires the whole power of tho State to effect it. The 70,000 Democratic majori ty in the city pf New York cannot be nul lified by bayonets without a struggle such as was never yet had. The New York Democrat, in referring to a speech mado by Fostmast General Creswell, a few days ago, upon this sub ject, says: Mr. (’reswell made the astounding state- 4 ment that the President was determined ■ to uso the entire force to the regnlar ar my, if necessary, to enforce tho law that all persons shall. vote the Radical ticket. The law isn’t worded exactly in that way, bnt that's what it means. And then tho Postmaster-General made another state ment, to tho effect that ii the force of regulars proved inadequate to tho task on hand, tho militia of the States would be called out to assist tho Federal army to deprive the people of the right to cast votes for candidates of their choice. This is lauglmlrio, as far os the New York mi litia Is concerned. What! Ordfr out the National Guard of tho State of New York, which baa been brought to such perfection through the untiring efforts of Governor Hoffman, to intimidate dr shoot down enough anti-administration voters to elect Slave-trader Woodford y In another place, in this issue, wo print •a very strong article on this same subject from the Missouri Democrat. It seems •the people of the North are only begin ning to perceive the great blunder they have made, and, uplwi* if is corrected, tho whole Government mast sink beneath its pressure. Tbc timd has com*—the struggle is to l>e imwle. ’ A Pew More Thoughts of the Coming Contest The signs of tho times arc ominous.— From the North snd West the deep-roll ing of the thunder is unmistakable and can be distinctly heard. But why should this not be t Why should not the contest be carried there ? Have not the pastions and prejudices of a majority of the people of the North and West been, heretofore, continuously in favor of tho revolution ? Havo they not incessantly and loudly cried: “ On with tho revolution ? ” Have they not incited and urged the Washington Government to acts of usurpation and to steps toward centralization ? Since the war we of the South have been down and have not the North and West, with overwhelming majorities, voted to keep us down f In doing this did thoy not authorize and instruct the Washington Government to deal with in dependent sovereign States as a child does with nnloved toys ? Have the rights of either men or State Governments been regarded and respected ? Havo not States, sovereign States, been rubbed out and made over again, just as figures on a black board ? All this, and much has l>cen done, and yet tho people of the North and West have invariably voted yea. Rut at that time the 'people of the South were suffering and being made to suffer. It was no matter then. They inflicting injuries, and destroying great principles, far from homo. Tho thought never occurred to them that rev olutions onco begun never go backward that when tho Washington Government had dono with the Sontb, then would come their turn. Bnt, verily, it h&sthus come pass. The revolution will continue, ,d should we of the South be grieved ? Have not all our rights been deprived us ? Is there an independent, sovereign State in all tho South ? No, not Tho right to ride over and break down States is a pleasing one, and one that the party in power likes, and us tho Sonth exhausted a new field is wanted, lienee the bold assaults that are being made.— But there is but a single remedy, and that is meet the enemy at the door and yeild no right To show how some of the Democrats of New Yoik feel upon the subject print the following, taken from The World There is great confusion of ideas on this matter of military interference, which needs correction. Because General .But ler was sent here to overawe our citizens in tho election of 1864, and wo then tame ly bowed down to Federal insolence, many unthinking people have a vague impression that tho State is equally help less against any subsequent interference. But the condition of things is wholly dif ferent. At that time martial law had been proclaimed, with the sanction of Congress, throughout the United States. The proclamation of martial law made the military authority supreme over every thing. At present, the laic is supreme and the military power subordinate ; and the Democracy of this city and State will be careful, in every step they take, to keep the law on their side. There will bo no riot on election day, nor any employ ment of the military force of the State. We shall stand, with steadiness, on the strong vantage-ground of the law. If Federal officers obstruct legal voters, they liable to line and imprisonment under State laws, and the penalties will be resolutely enforced. If they shoot down or bayonet citizens in our streets, they will do guilty of murder, and will most Repudiation.—The doctrine of repo- diation i»A dangerous one at best, bat under odxno circumstances, we think, we should endorse and ratify it. It, bow ev er, la a doctrine that should be resorted to only in very extreme and aggravated , for repudiation is a dangerous thing for tho State and people. Yet a people wedded to each a doctrine they might, and in all probability would, carry it too far. We ore led to these reflections by aeon temptation of tbo present State Govern ment and her financial condition. It would be difficult, we suppose, to get at an exact estimate of the States’ present indebtedness, but we should like to know the figures os nearly as they can be ar rived at, for we imagine the unpopular doctrine of repudiation will havo to be resorted to by tho people for their pro tection. With the Savannah News call upon the Atlanta Constitution to fur nish the figures—tho whole State indebt edness. certainly be tried and punished for that crime. If they make illegal arrests they will be liable to prosecution for false im prisonment, and will be mulcted in dam- fes. Wo apprehend, if an attempt on the part of the Federal Govermeut to take military control of the New York elec tion be mado the advice of tho World will not be taken, the people will not submit to such an outrageous .usurpation and we hope they may not Let the F«h3- eral troops interfere and bring about a conflict between the State civil and Fed eral military authority, so that the ques tion of whether tho States have any con stitutional rights, that tho Federal au thorities are bound to respect, may be tested. It is the only way wo see for usur pation to lie stopped, and we sincerely pray the conflict may l»o brought about and tho question settled. Wo desire to know whether we are living iu a Repub lic, with certain guarantied rights to tb States and citizens or not, and if we ni not, letl>oasts and pretenious in that way be stopped. A few days will determine whether this bold attempt at centralization will ceed or not The responsibility of the crisis is with the Democrats. The attack been made and to remain true to their profession they must make the de fence. It is an important event to ns of tho Sonth. We can deter mine whether the 'professions of Northern Democrats have m* auing, or whether they are bnt high-sounding, hollow declarations. To find this out is cf some importance. Since the enlargement of the Sa vannah Netrs it is one of tho handsomest dailies iu the State and one of the best, we know of, in the Sontb. Look over every other paper printed in the State and find nothing iu them—and then take up the News—and yon can the better appre ciate the contrast. It is a pleasure for us, unsolicited, to speak a good word for oar cotemporary, and we trust all in this section, wishing a first class daily, will subscribe for tlis News.

California Correspondence. Placebvii.de, Can., Oct 15, Eo. Republican : Ours is a quiet town. Nothing is now seen of the rush—the ex citement—the bustling crowds of cosmo politan adventurers, that fifteen or twen ty years ago made it famous as one of the liveliest and most populous towns State. Then it hod a population of ten twelve thousand and a growing tendon Lots were located, and houses were erected with such dispatch, as caused city to spring up, as it were, in a tdugle night Thefcimulus to such energy and rapid development was the then nnwork- ed and barely prospected rich Placer. Mines, within the limits of the townprop- *, and in every direction around it— These the hand of the hardy and indus. trious Miner have despoiled of their min eral wealth, and all that is left iu them of the precious ore is barely sufficient, localities, to stimulate the industry and engage the muscle of the ]>atient and economical Chinaman. The inducement being inefficient, white men so fur from contesting this uninviting field of labor, have virtually abandoned it to the posses sion of the loug-cued Celestial, whose frugal style of subsistence enables him to defy competition. Do not infer from this that the exhaustion cf our mineral resources is conceded. I refer to placer mining only, which comprises surface diggings and deposits confined to ravines and the b«-ds of streams—more particu larly the placer mines which have been either worked over or thoroughly pros pected, but which indeed include the greater portion of tins class of mines throughout tho mineral regions of the State. The hill diggings, in this and other mining counties yet abound, and invite energy und capital. In many localities— indeed I may say iu most localities—the hills or gravel ranges, so fur from having been exhausted or even partially worked, yot to be thoroughly prospected.— This is attributable in many cases to a want of water—tho diggings lying at au elevation beyond the reach of the canals now constructed, and requiring for their profitable working, the digging of ditches upon a much higher grade, requiring the expenditure of su amount of capital which prudent monied men are unwilling to risk, and which, of course, the poor miner does not possess. The same* may be said of quartz mining. Gold-bearing quartz seams and lodes abound iu every direction, bnt capital is necessary to their discovery and development. They “crop out” at intervals long or short, aud their general course may thus be traced by the energetic and persevering miner, with but little expenditure of money, but it Inis been found that in quartz, as well os gravel deposits—the precious ore lies deeply, and for the .successful opening and working of this class of mines, capi tal is absolutely essential. There was a period when Luck was a prominent word in the miner’s vocabula ry—a word which had a .-ignificance of which time aud progress have in a great measure robbed it. Time was (I allude to early days) when Bill Jones Brown, fresh from the bleak hills of New Euglnud or the Prairies of the West, and with but u modicum of mother wit, little learning und barely enough energy left after an exhausting trip across the plains, keeping slow tread to the music of a Pike comity revolver, to stick a pick the ground, were just as apt to l>e smiled by the blind Godess, as was he who had made Geology aud Mineralogy a life time study and mode liia debut mines with the process of gold-getting mode easy by scientific and philosophical demonstrations, aud n chart of the entire country Geographically and Geologically mapped npon his brain. All owing to the fact that the gold was moro accessible then—abounding in every ravine and fist, and every bed of river and stream—when in fact, the placer mines, then unworked, furnished a more inviting field and readier harvest to the gold seeker. Now a!l is changed. Tho placer* are exhausted. Gold cannot now bo found then, so easily, and iu such quantity. Discoveries cannot now be made as then with so little effort and expenditure of money. Now labor is required—skilled labor, and close calculation is necessary to success. Science and intelligent trivauce have usurped the reins of enter prise aud the name of the dethroned God- soldom .heard. The question now >t: “What Luck?”—but, “how docs your new process work—does it save lore gold than the old ono ?" But, Mr. Editor, I find myself getting tedious, for which I hope to iademuify yon by a change of programme next time. Hons. v ^ Communicated. Prestos', Ga., Not. 1,1870. Mm Editor : On Thursday the 15th of September last, the citizens o! Webster county—a larger number than generally meet on such occasions—convened at the Court House in Preston, ior the purpose of sending delegates to the Congression al Convention, which met at Albany on the 21st of September. Alter the usual preliminaries and the election of the del egates to attend that convention, the body resolved that each district in the county should, at a subsequent and suitable time, call a convention of its own and elect three delegates to represent each district at a county meeting to be called for the purpose of nominating suitable candi dates for the Legislature and for various county offices. The better to effect this object and to carry out the wishes of that meeting, Sampson Bell was appointed committee to notify each district of the fact above stated, giving sufficient and ample time for each district to elect and instruct os to its choice of candidates, its delegates to be sent to a county nominat ing convention, the time for the meeting of which, was also to be appointed by th< said Bell, in his notice to the districts.— This was the full and only power delegat ed to the said Bell. But we notice from a communication in your paper over the signature of said Bell, that he, disregard ing the power conferred upon him, has called a convention of tho citizens en masse to meet at Preston on the 17th in stant, to choose by general ballot, candi dates for the various offices. Now we would like to know by what right or au thority he has usurped this power. We would urgo upon tho county tho impor tance of abiding the decision of that meet ing on tho 15th of Sept. last. A large portion, at least, will do this, and we npon the whole county, in the name of that meeting, to co-operate with us, by calling district meetings immediately, and sending three delegates to represent each district at the convention on the 17th of this month. This is the most democratic aud liberal way in which the county ci be represented. Democrat. THE DOUBLE BABY. TELEGRAPHIC Communicated. Lumpkin, October 29, 1870. Mu. Editor—Permit me to enquire through your valuable paper, whether there is such au organization in Geor gia as a Media d Hoard t Some years ago there was oue for the purpose of granting license to young men to practice medicine. Whether that Board has been abolished, or still exists, is a question of great importance to the people. If I am permitted to judge from tho very many incompetcni men who are rushing into our ranks, assuming to themselves the right to experiment and triflo with the lives of our fellow beings, without being molested, I should think that tho Medic al Board had become defunct. The evils growing out of empirics being permitted to practice mcdicino without legal au thority, is becoming alarming through out the country. If the Medical Board still in existence, tho honorable gen tlemen who compose it, should meet at early day aud put a check to an evil of such immense magnitude. They c it to tho Profession, of which they honorable members; and much more they owe it to the unsuspecting who the innocent victims of quacks who springing up like the Frogs of Egypt. I hope that members of the Board, where they may be, will reorganize at once and put tho law in force against every man who is exercising tho liberties physician without a license from i one of tho legalized Medical Insti tutions of our country.

Gazette: “About sundown on Friday evening two youug men of Alexandria, Va., in order to settle a diffi culty that h.nl arisen between them, armed themselves with knives, and ac companied by some of their respective friends, repaired to the grounds around Lockbar, across the caual locks, where, having doffed their coats, they fought ac cording to the rules in force in Western Texas previous to the war. After a pro longed conflict, during which both were cat and slashed to an extent that satis fied their friends, they were separated and carried to surgeons to havo their wound* dressed. Neither of them mortally hurt.” DETAILS OF Tlin WONDERFUL WEAK NATURE IN OHIO: Delaware (Ohio) Cor. Cin. Commercial. Onr community is much excited oyer a freak of nature in the production of a doable baby. The Siamese Twins are completely overshadowed by this infant wonder. There is living in Porn town ship. Morrow connty, a family named Finley. Up to last Wednesday morning it consisted of Mr. Joseph Finley, his wife Mary and two children, little girls, aged three and fivo years. On that morn ing Mrs. Finley was confined and gave birth* to twins, joined together in a man ner unknown to the books. When the gossips brought the news of the event to our city, and gave descriptions of the child, or rather children, it was laughed at by the professional, and pronounced a good hoax. A gentleman living in the vicinity of the Finley home colled on one of our physicans aml’assured him that there was no exaggeration in tho descrip tion, as he had seen the wonder. Con vinced that there was something in the case, a party of gentlemen, consisting of Dra. J. A. Little and T. B. Williams, W. O. Seamens, Professor of Natural History and Chemistry in the Ohio Wesleyan University, and S. K. Donavin, on the 16th iust, visited the family. Be fore reaching the Finley farm the party called on Dr. A. E. Westbrook,of Ashley, who had been called to attend the moth er, and learned from him that the half had not been told. Dr. Westbrook ac companied the party. An hour’s drive brought them to the place. On going to the gate leading to the yard, a written notice was discovered anuounciug that visitors would not be admitted, This did not deter the party. They immedi ately entered the yard, and ou reaching tho front door of the dwelling, they were met by Mr. Finley (the father) and a gentleman who appeared to be acting as his aide-camp, who informed the party that they could be admitted to see the show on the payment af twenty fivo cents each. The Professor promptly forked over, and the party stepped in. Iua tew minutes the nurse made her appearance with the wonder. A double child was exhibited. Two perfectly formed heads, ono on either of the spinal column. To give a clear idea of it, just supposa that you sever the bodies of two men at the lower part of the abdomen, aud then put the two upper parts together, and you have tho trunk of this child. At the instance of Dra. Williams and Little the clothing was taken from it and a crit ieal examination was made, so far as could be without doing injury. From the on put of tho other there is a continuous opine in a direct line. Upon ono side and directly in tho centre of the trunk were perfectly developed hips, thighs, legs and feet. They are iu a nice propor tion to tho body of either child. On the opposite sido there is one large, imper fectly formed leg, presenting tho appear ance of the consolidation of two legs.— There are eight toes on this limb, two of which havo the appearance of great toes, being much larger than tho others. Each lias a well-formed head, good chest, good arms and hands lungs, heart, liver and stomach. Between the per fectly formed limbs and properly situated anus and sexual organs iu com- The lower potion of tho bowel3, the bladder, aud perhaps the kidneys, are iu common. AU tho other organs aro separate. There was bnt ono umbilical cord and ono placenta. The length of tho body is twenty inches, and the umbilicus is cen tral m the obdomen and cqui-distant from each head. It nurses well at both ends; and when first exhibited to the party one child was usleep and the other was crying. While tho physicians were making their examinations, both cried, but a few minutes after the oue which was crying first went to sleep, while the other remained awake. When either head would cry tho perfect leg which was nearest to that head kicked and drew up while the leg nearest the other head re mained quiet. When either cried tho toes ou the imperfect foot would move, but the limb remained stationary. Both heads nnrso well, aud the child, or rather children, are iu excellent health. The physicians could see no reason why it-, or they, should not live. Tho mother is doing weU. There was no physician pres ent at the birth, and the labor pains last ed only fifteen minutes. Mr. Finley is olive to tho importance and value of this addition to his family. He is now charging gate money, aud lie informed the writer that he hod already entered into an article of agreement with a gentleman for the sale of the body if it should die. Price fixed is $10,000. Ne gotiations are in progress for its exhibi tion if it lives. He is convinced that there is money in it, dead or alive, but thinks there is most in tho latter condi tion. He says that he is conscious of the fact that he “is an unlarned man, bnt has sense enough not to be fooled out of it.” It is certaiuly one of the most extra ordinary freaks, if not tho most so, which lias ever occurred, and will certainly at tract great attention from tho medical profession at least.

The U nioq League begging box, it ap pear* has been standing on the club room tahlo for many days, bat the money for the election does not come uu Loading Republican merchants who used to come down with their few thousands very cheerfully at former elections now refuse to .contribute & dollar. It is said that A. T. Stewart positively declined to givoa dime towards the success of a party which had done eo’ much to interfere with the interests ot tlifa merchants of New York. The secret of this indifference probably is that therwis really no Republican party in the rity,; that it has dwindled into a Western Comment on our Georgia- Akermau Election Bill. Ou the second Monday iu December next the people of Georgia, one of the thirteen original States which carried through tho war of tho Revolution, have been generously permitted, by a Radical Congress, to hold on election under a new law, which enacts three days voting, so us to rotate tho negroes from poll to poll, forbids all challenges, authorizes Governor Bullock to appoint all tho Jndgcs of Election, and fixes no higher pca.dty than 8101) on tho withhold iug of any connty return, which will enable all the Democratic majorities to bq thrown oot cheap. It is mado-the duty of the United States to guarantee to every State a republican government, bnt Congress seems to have interpreted it to mean that it shall establish by any means, fair or foul, the Radical party in power. The annals of the United States, or of any other nation, no not furnish so rascally a contrivance to defeat the will of the people as tho above. Wo never saw be fore such au open and unblushing pre mium paid to fraud and rascality, such on invitation to all sorts of villainy. It would have been moro honest for Congre-s to have directly authorized Governor Bullock to appoint his officers to all positions than to do it in this flagitious, indirect manner.

Tho Liverpool Journal of Comtneixe re ports a movement among the cotton deal ers o! that city to cure some of the evils which have resulted to the trade from the practice ot dealing iu cotton “to arrive.” A large number of prominent dealers have signed a letter addressed to Mr. Thomas Holder, President of the Liver pool Cotton Brokers’ Association, calling attention to this system and its demoral izing effects npou the trade at largo by affording unusual facilities to speculators engaged iu gambling upon prospective fluctuations. The letter states that great disatisfactioD is felt at tho power possess- X by operators to sell cotton “short” r “bear,” whereby a fow speculators re enabled l>y their enormous in* crease of sales to greatly depreciate the value on the spot and afloat. It has been suggested that this evil might be mitigated by requiring deposits to be made on all contracts for arrival in which the ship's name is not given, and also upon :*.!! contracts for future delivery, bnt there may be some difficulty experi enced in enforcing such a regulation. It Is also believed that some modification should be made in the present rules re luting to arrival contra.-ts to facilitate the passage of cotton from the original sellers to the last buyer. It is, therefore, thonght desirable that the association should tuke these matters into immediate consideration, and that a committee bo appointed to devise a means of regulat ing tho present system of selling cotton “to arrive” and fur forward delivery, and that delegates from tho New York Cham ber of Commerce aud the Cliina and East India Association lie invited to take part iu their deliberations. It is gratifying to learn that this movement is highly ap proved in financial circles; the principal bankers in Liverpool having sent a letter to tho association urging that the matter receive immediate attention. It is to be hoped, therefore, that tho operators of Liverpool will introduce this much need ed reform, and that tho present system of gambling iu this important article of commerce wifi soon be stopped. The Now York Bulletin says there is need of a similar reform in the cotton trade of that port and the legitimate operators would do well to insist upon tho adoption of regulations similar to those proposed by tho dealers of Liverpool. Our sales of cotton are mainly speculative, and it has become necessary for our cotton dealers to adopt some system of regulating trans actions by which they can be protected against the gambling operations of irre sponsible speculators.—St. Loui* Journal of Commerce.
