Ou Monday last, our community was Ptartlerl by the receptions of ;x tele- pram from Atlanta, announcing the death-of Mr. James A Si.kj>gk in that city, on the night of the 23th of October. His remains arrived by the morning train on Wednesday, and were interred the came day with Masonic honors. Mr.. Si,r.i>«E was for a number oi years editor and proprietor of the i Sonlhern Banner, and was well and fa vorably known throughout the State. In this place, where he lives! so long aud uas known so well, he had not jK-iIiaps a single enemy. His kind heart, his generous and unselfish dispo sition has won him many friends, all of w hom lament his untimely death. None of the particulars of his death have readied us, except that it was verysudden. His family, who resided in this place, liaving received no inti mation of his illness. His aged father and motLer and sister, his wife and foir children, survive him, and have tMkbeart-felt sympathies of our entire community. At an early day we propose to pub- lieh a more entended notice of the life and diameter of Mr Sledge. —■ GEORGIA ITEMS. ."■''■(3*9s£. ■I THE ELECTION.

The old Southern Banner of Athens has changed hands, turned over a new Jtf&nnd comes to us as The North east Georgian, by T, W. & T. L. Gantt. We are sorry to see that this old time-honored landmark of Demo cratic principles is converted into a Greeley organ—having forsaken the faith; bat are glad the name of the Banner is dropped, that the principles of consolidation and empire may never bc‘ swoeiated with that old, unswerv ing organ of Democratic principles.— fktlanta Sun. * P9 doubt but that the Sun Ss sorry to see any jiaper using its in fluence to save the country from the worst kind of despotism.

Nor is this all, Tennessee the Knoxville and Ken tuck; Rail Road has changed hands, company of the best and wealthiest Rail Iioad men in the country, with that Rail Road King, Torn Scott at their head, have bought the road and changed its name to the Knoxville and Ohio Rail Road, intending to push it through at once to Cincinnati. Many miles of this road is now running. The completion of this road insures the building of the Blue Ridge Road, for without it, they have no other out let than the East Tennessee and Georgia Rail Road which has now as much as it can do. With these roads completed and your road tapping the Blue Ridge Rond at Clayton, I need not tell you what an important line yours would be. There are few, if any roads in the South whose stork would be worth more. Turniug our attention South we find a connecting line, thcEutonton, Madi son & Athens Rail Road, of almost equal importance, not only to your city but to your company, which has been given, life and vigor bv the energy you have displayed, by placing your eompanv in its present condition. Let this road lie built, and your road com pleted to the Air Line, and you will find friends spring upfor you in Macon, Savannah and all over South West Geo g:a, who will send their money and energy to help the North Eastern Rail Road, over the mountains to the rich valleys of the West. Your road will become their road, and they will hoc ime sis much interested in it as yon arc now. The importance of this road to you and your company cannot be over-estimated, and I would respect fully suggest, that while you make every effort to increase the stock of your company, that you recommend to your stockholders, one and all, to take slock also in this most important road. Build this road in connection with your own, and I venture to say that Judge Mitcliels Terrapin will begin to move in earnest, and that the right of way will lie cleared from the Depot of the Georgia Rail Road to the Depot of the North Eastern. In conclusion allow me to commend to your favorable consideration my as sistants, Messrs E. T. Heard and Joel Heard. I have the honor to lie, very respect fully your obedient servant, J. Calder Turner. To the Stockholders of the North Eastern Rail Roa-1 Company: As chairman of vourboard of direc tors it is incumbent upon me to report to you the action of the board since the last stockholders meeting, which was held 1872. At that meet ing you adopted the broad guage. The question of route from Athens to the Air Line Rail Rond, was at the same meeting referred back to the board of directors, who were authorised to adopt, either the Harmony Grove or the Jef ferson route, leaving it to their souud discretion, to select the route which would be most advantageous for the company. The resolution refering back the question of route, required a vote of directors in order to adopt either route, At a meeting of the directors held on 1872, the Harmony Grove route received the requisite number of votes, and was adopted. The board of directors then had the Harmony Grove route resurveyed and located, after the Chief Engineer made his report of the final survey, with estimates of costs from Athens to the Air Line Rail Road via Harmony Grove, a distance of about thirty eight miles. The board was satisfied tlrnt we bad sufficient stock subscribed to authorise us to let the contract for grading and masonry for that portion of your road. The contract was made with Messrs Grant, Alexander <fc Co., for the gradation aud masonery, for the entire road to the Air Line Rail Road. I refer you to the Chief Engineers report, for account of surveys and work done, and prospective connections with our road. The Treasurers report which I also annex, will show all receipts and dis bursements to date. In conclusion I will state tlmt the board have exercised rigid economy in every department, and made only such expenditures as they felt satisfied were necessary to advance the interest of the company, and while we felt autliorized to Jet the contract, as before stated, I 4 . —— { would urge upon each and every stock- The Washington Capitol lias the fob holder that the letting of that contract lowing personals, more pungent than L but the commencing of the work, polite, and in order to carry out the enterprise Newman is Grant's Chaplain, who i so satisfactorily inaugurated, it swears Ulysses prates twice daily; TJJl-Y WON’T WASH. . - /Talking about Newman, he’s got !»ck to hi* old tricks.

Telfair county boasts of a lady—widow of a Confederate soldier—who is very- useful in a small sociable row. A ped agogue living on her land threatened to wallop her recently, and pretty soon thereafter attempted to carry out his threat. He was the worst fooled man in tiic Union.

A gentleman from the vicinity ot Gor don called at this office yesterday and made the following startling disclosures : On Wednesday night, about 2 r. M., a band of ten United States soldiers, led by some breed official, appeared at the dwelling of Dr. J. B. Teirell, in quest of the Doctor and his son, who were froin home. They entered the house and searched the premises in the rudest man ner, violating with their rulfinn presence the sleeping chamber of two young ladies, and even tearing from tbrir persons the bed covering which protected them. Disappointed at not finding their prey, they then visited other domicils and ar rested ainl bore away with them Messrs. Win. Fountain, Win. Calilf, Win.
