Bru ton and Maj. It. X Ely—Wran gle over the Senatorial ques tion. On Wednesday last, a very large and enthusiastic meeting took place iu the court house, it being the regular appoint ment of Gen. Wright arid Maj illy to ad ; dress the citi/ens of this place. At about j 11 o clock, quite a large crowd hail assem bled, aud the meeting was organized by calliDg Judge Isaac E. Bower to the chair and requesting Ben. E. Russell and R. W. Davis to act as Secretaries. Gen. G. J. Wright, i was then introduced to the meeting by the j chairman, and proceeded to deliver an aJ i dress, the following of which is a brief ; outline: The General said it had neverbeen his good fortune to address the people of Decatur j county before, and was a stranger to many. The people must judge from what he said, but, be it understood, he did not propose to deliver any fine aud eloquent addiess ; he wanted to talk plain to the people ; conver e with them a3 he would neigh bors ; bin interests and theirs were in com j mon, and what affected them affected him; i the speaker stated that many issues had been brought into the present canvass that, in his opinion, had naught to do with the questions before the country ; be said that since the war the Democratic party was the only party to which the white man looked for help; that party, though ac cepting help offered by the liberals, was still an organization and embraces nearly all the respectable whites; the Southern States were weak and could not help them selves ; that the great leaders uad cast about to find succor ; Grant and bis horde of minions and office holders, promised no aid; but aid came in the shape of the Literal Republicans, with Greeley, Brown, Shurz, Banks and other eminent men At their head ; they wish to unite with us in turning these robbers out of office; we can’t succeed without assistance; we have | received that assistance, relief has come; shall we reject it? no, it was madness to reject help whet} offered ; the speaker was in the Mexican war under the United States flag, and was proud of it then ; was in the Confederate war, under Southern flag, was proud of that yet; he was op posed to electing men who you would bo afraid to sleep with with a one hundred dollar note in your pocket; to prove the Radical party one «f robberry and fraud, he had only to refer to the past; the Rad ical psfrty are not satisfied with oppressing us under their infernal laws, but would go outside of them to practice their frauds and oppression ; the Radical leaders tell the colored man, “white men call you nig gers,’' and "if you don’t stick up to your own color, you ought to be liung.” Col ored man you should tell him to his teeth that he's a white man and against his own color; there is no man so low that he has not. a preference ; the Radical only loved a nigger for his vote and to keep himself in power ; lie was not in the habit of run ning after the darkeys, for the more you run after one the more lie got staffed up ; Greeley has no army at his back, who lias them? U. S. Grant; the country was cursed with a corrupt Congress, which never failed to do the bidding of Grant; Greeley was as good as Grant at least, and lie thought a little better; the reason why Grant fell out with Greeley was because he asked him to stop Southern oppression ; to take carpetbaggers out of the South; (the General introduced some documents which told bad tales on the administra tion party); If Grant is a frieud to the South, why don't he get Congress to re jveal those obnoxious laws; some of the present office holders in the Radical party never held an office in their lives until elected by ignorant negroes; he did not want to say anything Against his oppo nent Maj. W lately; he didn’t know any thing About him, but had heard of him, had heard of him in several dark pi a ees ; had never met him. he supposed it was because he had nut been in the kitcli eg ; he was at a loss to understand how a S titheru white man could be such areue gade: the General urged upon the people the vital importance of coming out to the polls, and advised the people that if their neighbor had no way to get to the pre cinct. to lorn them their and wagon, —anyway to get them tlierc. We have not further space to devote _to the General’s speech, and it should be re membered that the above is only a very brief and incomplete outline of what Gen eral Wright said, made up mostly from memory. He was very clear and forcible in his arguments, aud was repeatedly cheered. At the conclusion of the General’s re marks, Maj. B. F. Bruton arose and pro- I posed three cheers for the speaker, which were gived with a will. Judge Maples, independent candidate for Senator, was called on and made a short speech, explanatory of his position. He was followed by Col. B. H. Gee, af ter which Maj. Bruton made a few re marks. Each of the three latter named gentleman are candidates for Senator, the former and latter independent. Each one announced his intention cf making the race. i Col. W. O. Fleming, at the conclusion of Maj. Bruton's remarks arose and .made a stirring speech, in which he urged the Democrats to vote for their nominee. The meeting adjourned to reassemble at 3f o'clock to hoar a speech from Maj. Ely; Important to Gentlemen. — Ts you want a stood suit of clothing, boots or shoes, hats, shirts, bows, collars, undershirts and draw ers. etc., etc., of the latest styles and to stilt your pockets, go to Steiumger & En gel’s Flint River Stores. X. B. Also a full stock of clothing suit able for bovs. Serenade. —On ednesday night last the young men around town got up a ser enade for Gen. Wright, the nominee for Congress, and }laj. Ely, our Elector for this District. Proceeding to the noted, some splendid music was discoursed by the Bainbridge String Band, after which Maj. R. X. Ely was introduced to the crowd and Proceeded to deliver a brief but forcible and eloquent address. Several other speak ers were called on and responded, among them Gen. Wright, who could not and would not let the occasion pass without refuting some Radical lies that had been told on him relative to his speech that day. The General asserted that when they told a lie on him they’ had to take it back, that i he did not intend to be misrepresented. Grand Democratic Barbecue. At a meeting held on Wednesday, it was resolved to have, sometime near the middle of next month, a grand county mass meet- Img and barbacue. Hon. RH. Hill, Horn , Joseph E. Brown, Hon. H. V. M. Miller Hon. John B. Gordon, Hon. David S. alker, of Florida, and other eminent | speakers are to be invited.

We will have further to say in the matter next week. Ste.ninger & 'Enele are just receiving from the W est and North, the largest stock of Groceries ever brought to Cambridge, which they are offering at prices to suit the times. The Radical Nominations. On Saturday last, the Republicans of this senatorial District and Decatur coun ty, held their nominations in this city. B. F. Brimberry, of Camilla, a very re cent convert to the Radical faith, was nom inated for senator. T. A. Swearingen, white, and Alexander Nicholson, col., were placed in nomination for Representa tives. There were a great many negroes and scallawags in town, and considerable in terest was manifested in the nomination. As usual, a caucus was held iu Maj. White ley’s office, and the Maj. composed the ticket amid the greatest confusion on the outside of the door. There was no limi ted amount of lobbying and log-rolling in the passage outside the door, and con siderable dissatisfaction prevailed, and at one time, judging from remarks overheard by our reporter, we thought there would be a “run off” on the colored schedule, but as is usually the case, Maj. Whitely atid Mr. James Griffin, rolled up the pill aud held their babies noses until they swal lowed it. Willis Crawford, col., is an independent candidate for the Legislature, and with present prospects continuing, will poll a good vote. After the nomintions speeches were made by Whitely, Brimberry, Swearingiu and others. A complete stock of first-class family groceries, consisting of new mackerel in kits and quarter barrels, cheese, butter, sugar, coffee, bacon, flour, rice, salt, crack ers. pickles, jellies, &c., at Steiningel & Engel’s. A Novel Return. —The following re turn was filed in the Court of Ordinary, by one of our attorneys, who is an admin istrator upon an estate: Amount received—nothing. Amount paid out —nothing, and d—l abit is there to pay with, but one lot of land in the 27th district, No. 110, which is loaded down with the unpleasant weight of several very heavy law suits, and the purchase money unpaid. A. T Reid Sfc Cos. We direct attention to the advertise ment of this firm in to-day’s Sun. Capt. Reid, the senior partner, has just returned from New York, where he has purchased one of the largest stocks ever exposed to sale in this city. Their Fall and Winter stock is complete in every department, arid we would recommend the people to go there when they wish to trade. The finest, cheapest, largest and mes complete stock of Dry Goods can bes ound at Flint River StdrS, also velveteens and valorns in all colors, suitable for trimmings Music Vbi our City. —We have received a copy of the Musical Journal, published at Savannah, Ga., by Messrs. Lndden A: Bates. This firm do a tremendous large business in their line, and Mr. I. M. Ros eufeld is their agent in this city. Mr. lv. keeps some music on hand, and will order, and deliver at publishers prices, any music desired by our citizens. Country people especially, are invited to call and See Mr' Rosenfeld. Personal. —Our sanctum was compli mented with a visit this week from Gen. G. J. Wright, our nominee for Conp'CSS. and Maj. R. N. Ely. the Elector for this District. Both gentlemen were very jubi laut over the political prospects through out the entire District. Maj. B. H. Gee. the candidate for Sena tor from this the Bth district, also called on us. We were glad to see the Major. City Telegrams. The champi.m reaper—advertising. Lou s Robb has caught another fox. Cloud keeps the cheapest postage stamps in town. Don’t forget the meeting of the Demo cratic Club to-day. Go to the club meet ing first, the circus afterwards. A great many colored men have an nounced that they are going to support Butts and Butler. Jim Watt has returned front New York. Courtney has moved his tin shop to Broad street The haudsomest store we ever saw, is ike lower Flint River store iif this city. Col. John W. McGill has removed his office, up stairs over H. F.

Wise girls. Prints at 8, 10 and 12 i cents per yard also all other goods suitable for housekeep, iug. Goods at New York prices ;,at the Flint River Stores. Because Bainbridge is now beset with brawling and boisterous braggarts, it is sta ted that beer is more belligerent in its bear ing, than it is blissful or blandiloqueut. Greeley hats are fashionable in this city. Political meetings are being held all over the county, and great enthusiasm exists. Remember the Democratic meeting to day. Judge Maples failed to meet his appoint ment at this place on Monday last. Simon Weil has a clerk who calls liim seli " a gay aud festive fellow from the west.” The City Council held its regular meet ing on Monday night. Attention Citizens of Bainbridge and Vicinity. —Go to Rosenfeld’s Post Olliee Store for the best Cali coes at 12| ets., and other goods in proportion. The circus Land wagon will attract the largest crowd to-day. Blossom, Mose Carter, Bill Robinson and Mack Grass will be prominent members of the band wagon procession to-day. There is considerable dissatisfaction among the Radicals in this county, both white and colored. We would call attention to the adver tisement of U. J. Williams, agent fur the likeness of Horace Greeley. Call aud see him. We see that our youiv^-friend Isadore Kwileeki has just returned from New York, where fie has been to buy his fall stock. Rosen fold has made up his mind that no one shall compete with him in low prices of Dress Goods, No tions, Trimmings, etc., etc. To this lie calls the especial attention of the iadies.

Dr. Babbit's School. —We are glad to note that the school of this gentleman is daily increasing in numbers. Although it was quite small at first, the Dr. and his invaluable assistant, Miss McElvey, have not been in the least discouraged, and we think that before a great while their hon est efforts to establish a first-class institu tion of learning in our city will prove suc cessful. Every One take Notice- We would call special attention to the beautiful stock of goods, now opened in the establishment of our young merchant I M.
