THE NORTHEAST GEORGIAN, T.W.&T. In GANTT, PROPKXETOKS. ATHENS, QA., Friday Morning, Oct. 18th and Ohio. Liberalism has not been dislodged; it still tolds its position. It has only foiled in ono effort to storm the enemy’s works. Disciplined by adversity and strengthened by organ isation, the Liberal army will be found ready for the great battle in Novem ber, and one year hence we may cel ebrate the anniversary of our present mishap, as the people of Chicago are now celebrating the anniversary of what was on its occurrence esteed an rretrievable misfortune.

For Congress : Hiram P. Bell, CF FORSYTH COUNTY. NEW CHICAGO. The Courier-Journal says: “Just one year ago Chicago met with one of the most terrible calami ties that ever befell a city. Proud of her prosperity, and confident of her further success and future greatness, the people went a'yout the city that fatal lay litll< dreaming of the great ami fortune that tl:e night was to bring upon Ahem. In the twinkling of an eye a little flash kindled a flame that in a few hours enveloped the doomed ■city-and swept to destruction the labor of years. As the »ews spread the country* stood aghast. Chicago was set down among the things of the A special brings advices from Osce ola, Arkansas, to noon of the thir teenth. At that time the citizens were still under aims and greatly excited under reports of negroes marching on the place. Soores of prisoners had been captured and the jail was crow ded. The citizens were shipping their fomilies and goods to places of safety. The steamer Celeste, in route to Memphis, Was hailed 15 miles below Osceola, and on reaching the landing, a gang of armed negroes demanded to be taken to Osceola, but they were driven off and the steamer got away safely. Armed bands were seen at other points on the river. Fitzpatrick did not proceed to Little Bock, buti crossed to Crittenden coun ty, where he endeavored to prevail on the sheriff to cross with him into Mis sissippi county with a posse of the negroes; but the sheriff declined. It is stated that the militia are en route from Little Bock to the scene of troubbie. South Carolina Election.— The State election to-day way exceed ngly quiet. No conclusive return s are in, but the probabilities are that Moses and thi regular ticket are elec ted by a large majority. Columbia, October 16.—In the State electiou to-day for Governor, State officers, and five Congressmen, the only decided opposition offered by the Democrats was in the 4th District, where Hon. B. F. Perry, cx-Provis- ional Governor under Johnson’s ad ministration was nominated for Con gress, and it is thought has been elec ted, defeating Wallace, present Bepre- snetative from that district.

Association.—On Sunday last there was a Baptist Association about thirteen miles from Athens. It was what is known as Hard Shells, though we bdieve the proper name is Primitive Baptist. There were ministers from other States in attendance. The sermons were said to be very fine, and a large concuurs^ of persons present. We do not understand, or rather don’t know precisely what their lx lief is. We think they believe very strongly in elect iou and predestination, and preached that doctrine with great force and ability, one of the ministers said lie believed there were infants now in hell not a span long. It is strange, passin; strange, that any one who has been educated in a Christian community ehould advance such an idea. We are very certain they don’tfind it in the Scriptures. There we are told that God tempers justice ‘with mercy, Christ took children in his arms and blessed them, and said “ suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for ot such is the kingdom of heaven ”—in these words we find no exceptions, the command embraces them all. We make these remarks with no unkind feelings for tlieir church. So far from it, we have great respect for them. W e havealways heard that they were a very upright and just denomination, and were firm os the rock of ages in their belief. We regret it was out of aur power to attend their meeting for we learn that their minis ters preached with great ability. so PtotWob*.—Flour, Fancy, perbbL. 10 00 to 1200 Family, •• u 00 to MO) Superfine « S 00 to 900 Corn per bush. 1 00 to I 10 Peu •• 78 to 1 00 Meal ——, u .,10 to 120 Wheat.——.— *• 1 id ' to 1 73 Bacon aide*, per pound 13 to I •« shoulders, “ u to 12>$ “ hams, « u to 20 Uni...—•• , I, to 16 Irish Potatoes, country, pr hush, 1 00 .to;^ “ ** Northern, •• 2 so to ■ Sweet Potatoes, “ 80 to ‘ L*Z>. — per dot. *0 to i Chickens, grown, 90et Frying 20 to i Batter^ ™perIW> t , Groceries.—Sugar, Crushed per Ib>.4l to l -v' “ m.— “* Tart* i •• b.—»• ir to •• C —— •* 14 to •’ Demararm, ** 13 to Coffee, Rio “ 25 to “ Lagulra, “ 28 to ** Java *• 33 " to Tea, Hyaen——. “ 1 SO “ Gunpowder, “ 2 00 Black— “ 130 Onions, per bush.l 00 Syrup, Sorghum, per gal.

GOOD TEMPLARS. Indianapolis, October 15.—The official vote of the Ninth Corgression- al District elects Neff over Shanks (Republican) by 28 votes; but in one past and her*peopie ^raelbj^Tf I t " wn f hi P '“ Adamo county, Shanks’ Hilarity. But the spirit that had im- d ' stnct8 ’ 147 ^publican votes were pelled Chicago on her grand career = thrown ol t on uccount of the words was not quenched by the devouring The Convention of tho Grand Division flames. Ruin stared men in tire face, there was need of even the necessaries of life, the proud monument of indus try and weelth was but a heap of ashes, but tire high purpose and tho restlcs energy that characterized these people in their prosperity did not fail them in the hour of disaster. The spirit of; progress rose from the still heated ashes, complemented by the noble resolve to battle against fate and re trieve misfortune. Had these people given way to wailing and despair, had they covered themselves with sackcloth and ashes, and sat down amid their ruins to dream over th sir past glory, or sought other homes where they might shutout the recollection of their faded greatness, Chicago would have become the abode of owls and bats, and the haunt of moody tourists who desired to make themselves melan choly in the contemplation of the vicissitudes of fortune. But, as it was, the ashes were swept away, the heated walls were toppled over, aad on every band the signs of renovation sprang from the scene of ruins.” “But one year has passed away and the people of Chicago are celebra ting the first onioersary of their gr at fire. It»not a day of sorrow and fasting; it is a day of rejoicing ard thanksgiving and feasting; for the fiuth of her people has brought Chicago back to life, and, fairer and grander than she was before, she stands to-day the proudest monument tlie world has ever produced of courage and energy in the foce of adversity. “ The spirit that restored Chicago Is a type of the spirit of our whole people. During the late war neither side ever faltered. In the darkest hour of the Union the confidence of the Federal army did not give way. The Confederates, with equal confi donee, struggled on so long as their was a ray of hope. The war over, the 8onth set about building herself up again, and all over the country the spirit of complete restoration sprang into being. Of course there were, ns there have always been and always will be, those who were ready to spec ulate on the misfortunes of their fel low-men, and. Ibis class being power, they tnrnd every energy to the Accomplishment of their own selfish pnrpsses. But the spirit of renova tion and restoration could not be sub dued; it spread spontaneously and Aggregated itself in the Liberal move ment, Springingina from inch a Siurce, imbued with a courageous spirit, and forcing itself into existence yjj over so many obstacles, Liberalism eon not be annihilated by a single blow. As the people of Chicago were only nerved to greater efforts by their misfortune, so the Liberals will be moved to more energy bv the blow thov have received in j’cmisylvania H ■IK r - Republican ticket” being printed at the head of the ticket. If these votes ore allowed Shanks is elected by 19 votes.

Tlie Pay Master of the Port Royal Rail road Robbed—His Trunk Broken open Sunday—Four Hundred Dollars Taken. We have just closed the most rc markable convention I evei saw. The Grand Lodge from the first seemed to me more like a religious assembly than anything else, ns for example the “ Methodist Conference ” which cer tainly does not usually excel this body in gravity, earnestness ordecorum, and am constrained to think that any dispassionate stranger would have been impressed as I was with the intellectual and reputable character of the body. Very grave questions were considered, developed anddeterniiued in a manner that would have been creditable to our legislative assemblies, and in view of their exciting character of some of them, with great clearness, and settled with much wisdom. The election of Hon. J. W. II. Underwood to the office of Grand Worthy Chief Templar, the arrival of the talented “ Wright Grand Worthy Counseller” J. J. Hickman, of Ky., gave still greater dignity to the body. The presence ot so large a number of Clergyman had from the first helped to give a sacred character to the whole assembly, and their constantly increased prominence deepened the effect until it culminated this evening in a scene, the like ot which I had never expected to see out side of a purely Ecclesiastical body. First a closing address full of humanity and piety, warm, tender and eloquent meeting was poured forth upon our hearts from the lips of that princely “Good Templar,” J. J. Hickman. Then we were called upon by the. G. Chaplain, first to engage with him in singing a good old foshioned hymn, during which each delegate went for ward and silently and solemnly gave bis hand to the G. W. C. T. in token of abiding Faith, Hope and Charity. NEWS ITEMS. GfeN. BUCKNER ON THE SOUTHERN SITUATION.

About 11 o’clock on the same night, as the steamer was rapidly plowing her way down stream, a negro fireman wh< 8e name we could not ascertain, he having recently been takenontheboat, accidentally fell overboard, and was drowned before assistance could read) him. The small boat was lowered and every effort made to find him, but with out avail, and the supposition is, he sank almost immediately. Last evening, about 8 o’clock, as the passengers were disembarking from the steamer Katie, just arrived from Augusta, an old negro woman by the name of Clara, residing (strange to say, atHudron’s Ferry, the place where O’Donnell lived\ fell from the side of the boat into the river. A rope was immediately thrown to her, but she was either unable to see it on account of the darkness or too frightened to make the effort to seize it, arid fionsequentiy was drowned.

A small job press in the composing room, which escapad de struction, was examined and a paper of powder found under it, with a slow match, which had been lighted, but had gone out It is said that about ten minutes before the explosion, a colored boy, who lives near the office, saw two individuals running off from the spot in the direction of the depot with bats iu hand. The Sentinel was a Conservative daily paper, edited by Hon. Joshua Turner, a prominent politician. Additional official returns received to-day do not materially change the result given last night Hendricks’ majority will be between six and seven hundred.

DuBose announces bimself in* tlie Augusta Omstduiion- alist as a candidate to represent the Eighth Congressional District of Geor gia iu Congress, and will snortly issue an address to the people of tlie Dis trict. The effect ot fiis candidacy, we take it for granted, will be to insure the success of the Radical candidate in that District. General DuBose is a straight-out Democrat, against whose adherence to principles we have noth ing to object, but we think a sincere opponent of Radical misrule and cor ruption might find some more effective and practical way of proving his con sistency. The only hope of Radical ism in Georgia is in the division of the Democratic party. To prevent discord in the Democratic ranks at this time, every true Georgian should be willing to forego his individual aspi. rations and opinions—to make any sacrifice not involving his personal honor.

He is a splendid specimen of a outberner,- tail, finely formed, and jerfectly free find outspoken in his be- iefsand opinions. “ What do you think,” I flaked bint to-day in the course of a conversation* “ of the present political situation at the South r “ I think,” he promptly ttnsflrflred, it is the most deplorable that can be imagined,” and then he continued:— “the South is under bayonet rule. A much worse military despotism can not be conceived. Carpet-baggers have stolen money right and left. We might sell North Carolina and Florida to-day, and they would not briug money enough to pay their State debts. Louisiana is not much better off. I know peonle in New Orleans who PIJ ART 1?V XJTT t would be glad to rent their houses for V ri * HILL the taxes.” You drawn gloomy picture, Gen eral.” Only the true one, sir;” he. _ out energetically. “ The South 'is in much worse condition to-day than at the close of the war.” “ To what do you attribute this ?” “ To the government we have been under.” So the remedy would be a change of government?” “ Precisely this and nothing else ; that is, if the change be the right kind of one.” “ So, then, it is clear you are not in favor of the re-election of Grant” “ By no mean?, and these are not my individual sentiments, but those of all the born white Southerners. Grant will get no votes except those of his carpet-bag minions and thieves and the negroes.” “ All your people, then will vote for Greeley ?” There is no other alternative. We want a change in the government, and a change even uuder Greeley, with all his impracticable theories and notions, might be for the better.” , “ How about the negro vote V “They will vote for Grant, of course; they will do the bidding of the carpet-baggers; they will be marched to the polls in semi-military style, and votes placed in their bauds, which they will cast, not knowing what they are. They are told that if they vote for Greeley, they will be reduced to slav ery again, and they believe it. I do not know how long this sort of thing is going to last, ft is truly disheart ening. There is not an instance on record of any attempted resistance by Con federates to the Government. The people are loyal.
