Blodgett was discharged from jail upon giving bond in the sum of 5i7,000. It is now said that Dr. Livingstone is married to an African princess, and does not care to come back to this country’. A movement is on foot in Rich mond, Va., for the establishment of an asylum for altandoned women. Mr. Nesbit, of Calhoun, Ga., made 168 bushels of wheat off of three acres; 6,766 bushels were brought to that place up to the 11th inst. It rained hot water in New York the other day. New York city holds $86,000,000 worth of churches. The Montgomery Advertiser says: “of the seventy odd political news papers published in the State of Ala bama all but three supi>ort Greeley and Brown.” Re-Districting the State.— This important item in the business of the session is fairly under way, having been placed in the hands of as good a committee, probably, as could have been selected from the two houses. A bill has been introduced into the Legislature, to exempt from road duty only such ordained and licensed min isters of the Gospel who are regular pastors of a church. The Rads are demoralizing, while the whole country are Greeleyizing, and are seriously talking of with drawing the animal from the race. By an accident on the .Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad a few days ago two hundred chickens were drowned and five hundred eggs smashed. What a pity! Old John Harper made SIOO,OOO at the Long Branch races. Dan Voorhees is going to make stump speeches for Greeley, Sumner and Schurz will stump the South for Greeley. Horace Greeley, who commenced life an apprentice, and worked his way through the ley-pots and types to the head of his profession, is now candidate for the Presidency, and will be elected. Ex-Senator Miller, of Georgia, made a speech at the great Greeley ratification meeting at Weldon that Air. Doolittle admired so much as to desire to have it reported in full for campaign use. John Robinson has sued the New York and New Haven Railroad for $50,000 damages to his circus by the account of a low bridge. Rev. A. C. Dempsay, the oldest Baptist minister in Virginia, died last week. The hangman is reaping a ghastly harvest in South Carolina. There will be three hangings in each of two counties of that State in August. A number of influential colored Methodists in Newnan desire to with draw from the Northern Methodist Church, and are asking aid from the citizens to build a church of their own. This is a good sign. Texas watermelons, when scooped out, are large enough to bathe babies in. Albany, Ga., has sold one hundred thousand pounds of wool this season. Stone Mountain is having an agri cultural exhibition. Notice the Greeley inclination which inspires one of the exhibitors: “ Mr. G. L. Suinmey exhibited an ear of corn, or rather seven ears of corn, in one shuck. It was labelled the ‘ Greeley Tar Heel North Carolina’ variety. In the graduating class at St. Ma ry’s Hall, the Episcopal College, Bur lington, N.

It was our good fortune to meet with one of the delegates from Ala- . bam ato the Baltimore Convention, the other day on the train, on his re turn home—a gentleman of intelli gence and influence and widely known. Ile represented the prospect for the success of the nominated tick et of the most flattering and popular character, the opinion being based upon reliable information given by the different delegates from the va-, rious States. The Convention was enthusiastic as to the final result; not so much from any particular at tachment to, or admiration for, Mr. Greeley, on the part of the people, as expressed by the delegates, but from a general and deeply settled opinion, belief and sentiment, that the inter ests of the country and the perpetua tion of our Constitutional form of Government, and the rights of the : States, and the individual liberties of j the citizens, imperiously demanded i the overthrow of the present admin istration and an immediate return to j ! the old paths of the fathers. It is confidently expected that Pennsyl- ! vania and Indiana will certainly go j I for the Greeley ticket; not without, well grounded assurances, that 11 li- I nois will follow in the same track.] ! In this last State, the Democracy have put in nomination for Governor | one of the ablest and the most popu ular gentlemen in the State, and a German at that, who will, it Is con- j fidently believed, carry the whole German population with him, amounting, if we are not mistaken, to 60,000 voters, which added to the solid body of the native Democracy, which is now for the most part united, will triumphantly carry the day. In Indiana the most cheering state of things exist. The nomina tion of Hendricks secures beyond all reasonable probability the success of the Democracy by an overwhelm ing majority, not less, as is positive ly asserted by the best informed men from that State, than ten thousand votes, with a strong probability that it will reach 20,000. Morton and his crew already tremblingly shrink from the contest, and give up the Radical cause as already doomed to defeat. Indeed, so far as our person al information goes, as derived from intelligent gentlemen from these va rious States, as well as from the gen eral intelligence to be derived from the press, the signs of the times pre sage the triumph of good principles and good men, over the corrupt spoil ers and oppressors of the people, and the immoral and destructive princi ples of Radicalism. As for Mr. Gree ley, while all men are willing readily to admit his ability and preparedness for ofliee, and many are ready to en dorse his honesty and faithfulness as well as his capacity, as a person, he is wholly unknown in the contest, and only the principles and the meas ures which he avows and represents, gather around him the great hosts of awakened freemen, who are in this 100 victory into the Presidential chair. It does one’s heart good to contemplate the prospect before us, while at the same time it is earnestly believed that now, laying aside all the memories of the past, which might distract a united Democratic action in the living present, all men of all parties at the South should come up to the aid of our ticket in this great, and we hope and believe finally decisively successful struggle for the rights of the people. We re peat, that our contest is not that a particular man should be elected, or a mere party be successful. The care and the zeal, and the energy to be expended is not for Horace Greeley, but that representing as he does, the men all over the land who cry out against all invasions of the Constitu tion and perversions of law, all op pression of the people, and progres sion towards centralism and the one man power, with all political fraud and corruption; therefore it is that around him they gather, and deter mining to have anew order of things, and the old Government with its old everlasting principles of right re-es tablished; therefore it is that the just men of the Liberal Republicans at Cincinnati, and time-honored De mocracy at Baltimore, letting “ the dead past bury the dead,” and all like freemen earnest in the cause of liberty, giving their whole soul and energy to the rescue of the country from the perils which beset it, have locket! shields for the contest under the banner which bears upon its folds the names of Greeley and Brown. We have had faith all along in the result of the contest, and every day but adds to its confirmation; nor shall we lay aside that faith until it is realized in the grand victory which awaits us. Georgia Republicans. A call for a meeting of the Georgia Republicans who favor the election of Greeley and Brown, at Atlanta on the 24th inst., at 10 a. m., for the pur pose of consultation has been issued by Col. Thos. P. Safford of Madison. The meeting came off on yesterday but we have not heard before going to press of the result of their deliber ations, although we may safely say that we confidently expect such a con clusion as will result in an active and hearty cooperation in the election of the Cincinnati and Baltimore ticket. These gentlemen were represented in the Cincinnati Convention and we presume that the call is made to carry out effectually, and concentrate the strength of the Liberal Republicans in Georgia by thorough organization upon the declared views of the Liber als in Convention in Ohio. The aid Which they can bring to the ticket is by no means to be despised, the more particularly, because of the direction which their efforts may give to the vote of the colored population of the State. The Grand Public, Quixotic and Prize Fight, of Atlanta. Through Schedule, and llag gage Checked. Messrs. Editors:— When the great duel cornea off, which is soon to be fought in the festive city of Atlan ta, at Col. Buncomb’s head quarters, many of the plain people will close up business to witness said performances all are expected to attend, and espe cially the epitaph corps; they keep the record of the spirit oi the times and must be present at roll call. It behooves every one therefore, who is at all fond of sight seeing,— the marvelous or the taste .of blood, to hold himself as a minute man, pre pared for marching orders on the shortest notice; for it will never do for Georgians to give such an affair the go by, when as many as two of her once prominent citizens, —stag- gering under the ponderous opinion, that this contemplated tragedy is to constitute the key stone of State af fairs at least for the present decade. How are the plain common people to ] behave themselves on such au occa sion, the matter is thrust before them, —this is the question now. It is no longer the election of Greeley—the I amnesty question—the Railroad lease, nor the llilk Brown colored fraud, the fight is before us, and these things are all forgotten in the frenzied ex pectation of the next isssue of State papers upon the signature; let the press everywhere aid in this matter, and let these papers come by the bas ket full; the people are not tired, they are starving at the various Post-offices for more on both sides of the question ; they are now fully ready to repeal the dueling laws —to offer to all deaconsa dispensation to lock up the churches, | and adjourn the Legislature, they are ! sovereigns, they have a right to wit ! ness one drama true to life, upon the famous old Quixotic plan. The people are sovereigns it is true, ! but how they will play their mighty part we must wait auu see ; weknow they, are expected in this one game, ] to play successfully the wining hand. Yes they are expected to go even so far as to chain and make harmless and secure, till the word is given, two waving lion hearted bullies. If the sagacious and friendly ringmasters, charged with the properties of the oc casion, and the details of said exhibi tion, will only act wisely and come fully up to the tip toe of expectation as they should, the floor will be heav ily sanded, so that the fitness may j appear, of ending the whole matter, | as we will see, just where it likely be ; gall. These ringmasters will not however bind this brace of bullies to keep the peace with chains, as at first suggest ed, this would be too much like join | ing the Grant and Alexander faction, the people can’t afford to loose by the same stroke of the pen both their les see and their back chalker. Noisy chains don’t become gentle men very well any way, unless they grow too fond of snorting around, and we know our heroes had rather fight twice than snort once; and moreover it is now supposed that any use of heavy metal is slightly violative of some of the recent decisions in the code; until houses can be built for the purpose, of safety, the friendly ring masters will please cause the fettering to be done with paper twine, to the opposite ends of a beer counter, tak ing special pains to have the bullies facing each other, so that if they should chance to brake loose, which is not apprehended at all, they will not in their fits of rage, or mistake, devour an innocent people. With these arrangements all prop erly made an immense amount of first class grimacing, grinning and statesmanlike growling, can be (lone with honor all preserved and no blood let, till the word is given ; this little side show will possess the superior ad vantage of coining off before equals and peers, under favorable circum stances for being both heard and re membered. Here also the fuel can be had easily without drayage, which is usually re lied on as a motive power in such cases. It may be said further in favor of this plan of exhibition, that the pre cious grains of sand prepared upon the floor for the sharpening of claws, which might be otherwise spoiled or bottled as relics, or carried to the craw of inferior spirits, on the old fashioned chicken rooster plan, there to be utilized again, to encourage, grind out, and propagate pure beer tub and railroad valor. What shall be the order attendance, this is anoth er big question; is it competent for both sexes of the white folks to turn out to see this performance, the writ ings of the Honorable Artemas Ward would seem to indicate the propriety of such a course, but he goes the whole hog, a bull fight with him is just as pretty as a row between two Governors; the people of Atlanta may look for everybody, they are all coming to this show, there is not a circus picture posted anywhere in the State to interfere, and it is hoped that all the spectators will go properly ca parisoned and grab for a large slice while the character of the State is selling out so cheap. In a show like this have you any idea what will be the price of reserv ed boxes on the opposite side of the street ? Many of the colored ladies who are fond of comedies are buying calico for the occasion, these will bar gain to furnish the musk and ivory, and if the back benches and loby can be supplied with opera glasses at a fair rent, or even for value received all cash, our old one eyed people will crawl out to hear the dying groom of valor and to see the ship of State once more out of Quarantine. Our people are in earnest in this matter; it won’t do to trifle with them. It would cause a fight at home; they are bent on seeing some thing ; they don’t intend to be disap pointed in the Atlanta entertainment. Os course they don’t; they have al ready prepared, with much loss of sleep, some three or four thousand suitable epitaphs, the loss of which would be a public calamity if these actors shall fail to provide the proper place to stick them up. Another important question is be ing sprung about the street corners, looking to the never-to-be-forgotten commissary supplies. Shall each in dividual citizen be expected to fur nish his own cider, ginger-bread and ground-peas, and turn out on his own hook, as vulgar people do when they are going to a hanging? or shall we hold primary meetings, elect dele gates to represent us, send up tables, paper and reporters, as other people sometimes do in minor matters in which the moral's and honor of the State is involved. This course would doubtless be preferred by some, as the fight would then be under a more dignified pro gramme. We must be personally present, or have proper representa tion ; we can’t hazard our interest in this passage of arms. It may be that nuncupative wills will be proclaimed there, in which all the people are in terested ; as in the case of Cesar so it may happen again. It will be desir able also to bottle up for market all of their last thunder and their dying words; these last precious words upon the subject of the Code could now be engaged at seven pence per dozen; uponany other subject, after the show is over, "their words will have to sell by the cart load as farmers do pump kins, or by the string, as we buy cat fish in the spring of the year. If these reigning Bunk's could spare the time from the high argu ment of their controversy to publish a joint card, suggesting the class from which they would prefer that these delegate;? shall come, the citizens will allow this privilege, and have the same posted before the bands and red noses everywhere, and, if need be, a first-class, medium-size, ilsh-mark ed herald shall be started to give no toriety to this fight, and to serve as a record to bear the character and names of the Bullies safely down to posterity. Delegates, however, might not manage to squeeze out as many tears as our roaring Bullies would expect to see flow from the eyes of a depart ed constituency, but the ears furnish ed for the occasion would bo entirely without objection. How wise and commendable, how preciously endearing to th'-ir fellow citizens, is the eour which the- Bullies desire the people to prevent them from taking. Why. they ought not to be interfered with; is it not their own little matter, and Live not the public prints recently been made to show that the world is too small for two large, over-grown men to live in; the ease has been ably argued, 1 and the world must be made bigger or somebody will get hurt. The people, however, are quieter under the hope that the splendid trades that might be made with the gentleman on the top of the high mountain, who offers such grand tele scopic advantages, nor the prospect of tearing inio shred- all the striped cloth in the universe that might be used for national Hags, nor even the luxury of walking hereafter in solita ry triumph upon the great flaunting constitutional lie, will not allure ei ther of the parties, or cause the slight est diversion. Let the fight come off; the people want it over; their voice is success to both parties. Sancho. Mr. J. A. Hoyt, editor of the An derson (S. C.) Intelligencer, recently visited this section of country, and the following is the result of his ob servations, which we clip from that paper: editorial correspondence. Allatoona, Ga., July 10,1872. This place is situated forty miles northwest of Atlanta, on the W. & A. R. It., more generally known as the “State Road,” from the fact that it was built and is owned by the I State of Georgia. Allatoona is an unpretending village, containing on ly a few famalies, and in the midst of a" rather sparsely populated commu nity ; but there are good farming lands in this section, and rich beds of iron ore are found within a short dis tance. It is an important depot, however, as the numerous trains, passing almost every hour in the day and night, procure wood and water at this station. Formerly, the place : was thriving as a railroad village, but the ravages of war destroyed the business houses and several dwel lings, and effectually checked its growth. The depot is romantically situated at the foot of the Allatoona Heights, through which the railroad penetrates, and in this immediate vicinity fighting took place during the summer of 1864, when Johhston retreated before Sherman. We are told that fourteen hundred soldiers fell upon the Heights, and the graves of many were never identified, as the Con feed rates fell back without com pleting the work of burying their dead. Indeed, we met a young man from Missouri the other day, who was looking for the grave of his brother, killed upon the summit of the ridge adjacent to the railroad cut. The search was unsuccessful, and the precise spot where lies the remains of this gallant soldier will probably re main forever unknown. The mineral wealth of this region is quite attractive, and immense beds of iron ore are and have been profit ably worked. An experiment in gold digging since the war proved a failure, however, as many enterpris es of that character are constantly doing, since men will go further and use more extraordinary exertions to mine for the precious of all metals, ignoring the fact that all around them oftentimes there are easier sources of obtaining wealth from the bowels of the earth. This experiment was in the interest of Boston capitalists, we are informed, and from $175,000 to $200,000 was expended in an almost fruitless effort to gather glittering gold. The farming lands of this section are rather peculiar. Some of the ridges are highly productive, not withstanding the fact that they are covered almost entirely with slate rock, which interferes to some extent with the cultivation of the soil. The best lands produce a bale of cotton to the acre, forty bushels of corn, and fifteen or twenty bushels of wheat. The bottom lands on the creeks are highly valuable, easily managed, and produce wonderfully. Beyond the Allatoona Heights flows the Etowah River, and from a slight glimpse ob fafms'on either side, we are inclined to think that the river lands are in ferior to none in the broad country. Immense fields of waving com are seen on every side, while elegant farm houses dot the landscape far as the eye can reach. These lands are valued at high figures, and it is i nothing uncommon to hear the own ers talk of wanting one hundred dol lars per acre for their farms. We are told that forty or fifty miles along the Etowah there is an unbroken country, equal in every respect to the choice lands seen from the railroad between this point and Cartersville. Corn and wheat are the principal crops, although we noticed some line cotton in the vicinity of the Etowah. Clover and the grasses flourish in this ! section, and the hay crop is an im portant item of revenue to the farm- ! er. In a word, there is every evi- ! dence that the most ample provision is made for the substenance of man and beast. C'artersville is eight miles north of this place, and is the county site of Bartow county. We had the pleas ure of spending a day there recently, and were highly pleased with the ac tivity and energy of its population. Formerly, the town was of small consequence, principally noted as a depot on the .State Road, and having no future of promise and importance. Since the war a different state of things exist, and for several years the place has grown steadliy into favor, and the population numbers nearly three thousand at this time. The Court House is a large, splendid structure, and is a credit to the citi zens of Bartow. Elegant residences in various parts of the town mark the improvement of the last few years, and quite a number are in process of erection. The business houses for the most part are ample and conveniently arranged, and we observed several new 7 stores and oth er buildings intended for business purposes rapidly approaching com pletion. The railroad passes through the heart of town, and the depot is j in the centre of a large square, on i the sides of which are located the j principal stores, hotels, restaurants, offices, and like buildings. The busi ness is not confined to the public square, but is extending in every di- j rection, and ultimately the various 1 streets intersecting the square will be I appropriated to the increasing de-! mands of business. The farmers are delivering their w heat at this time, ; and thousands of bushels are daily shipped from Cartersville. The ship ments of w'heat aggregate about.three hundred thousand bushels, w 7 e are informed, and the busy scene around the depot reminded us forcibly of the winter season in Anderson" when Mr. Fant is kept so busily employed in receiving and weighing cotton. The Cartersville & Van Wert Rail- j road has been completed about twen ty-two miles, and already penetrates j a rich iron and coal region, rapidly j developing the hidden resources of an unexplored country. Another railroad is projected from Cartersville to Gainesville, and should this prove a reality, we predict a bright future for the former town. By the way, the citizens talk of changing the name from Cartersville to Etow r ah City, and we suppose that application will be made to the Legislature, at its approaching session, to effect the change. This county of Bartow, originally called Cass, has received a large share of its population from South Carolina, and familiar names strike the ear on almost every hand. Es pecially is this true of Laurens peo ple, and we had occasion to be im pressed with the idea on meeting and recognizing a former citizen of Laurens, whom w 7 e had not seen for fifteen years. We met several ac quaintances during our short stay in Cartersville, who were formerly resi dents of South Carolina, and all of them are highly delighted with this section. A w 7 ord about the W. & A. R- R,, to which we have alluded several times. Iking owned by the State, this valuable property has entered i more or 1- into the politics of Geor gia for a number of year?, as the pat ronage is considerable. The road runs from Atlanta to Chattanooga, as the most of our readers are aware, and is 138 miles long. During the reign of that illustrious patriot, Gov. Bullock, wlio has “left his country tor his country's good,” the State i Road was a thorough political ma-' chine, and ostensibly furnished em-: ployment for any number of Radical satellites, who proved true to the in stincts of that particular genus, and made a good thing out of it, by pocketing the earnings of the Road in various ways and perpetrating divers swindkss, as is their wont. Under the peculiar management, it is no wonder that the road went down as a public institution, the track be came in bad condition, the rolling stock dilapidated, and insecurity felt by persons who were compelled to travel over it. Finally, when a Democratic Legislature was coming into power, a company of capitalists offered to lease the Road for twenty years, paying to the State an annual rental of £}<>o,ooo in monthly install ments, in agreeing to turn ‘over the road in good condition at the expira tion of the lease. The proposition was accepted, and the lessees took charge of the r oad, elec-ting ex-Gov ernor Joseph E. Brown as the Presi dent. The lessees have now controll ed the Road for eighteen months, j and besides paying the rent prompt ly, the track has been put in good re pair and the rolling stock thoroughly overhauled, until now the road is in as fine condition to transact its im- ] mense business as at any time in its history. Trains run with regularity, scarcely an accident ever occurring, j and the vast freights are transported over the Road with celerity and dis- j patch. Four or five freight trains of twenty to thirty cars each, even in this dull season, are passing each way with through'freight, besides the reg ular trains for way freight. Three passenger trains, up and down, every twenty-four hours, transport an im mense number of individuals, who are provided with every possible comfort and accommodation. Brief ly, the road is splendidly managed, and though it is understood that the lessees have not realized any clear gain up to this time, but on the con trary have expended a large sum of money over and above the earnings to place the road in first-class condi tion, there is every prospect that the lease will ultimately yield handsome dividends. In our judgment, the lease is a beneficial arrangement for the State, if it does not bring profit to the lessees, and we are surprised to learn that efforts are making to re voke the contract, which would again place the road under the manip ulation of trading politicians. But this is a question for Georgians, and we are not disposed to meddle with their business further than to state the facts. Politically, there appears an uni versal sentiment among the people of Georgia, and that is strongly in favor of Greeley and Brown. At least, we have failed to meet an opponent of that ticket, although there are some adherents of Gnjnt and an occasional follower of Toombs and Stephens, only that we have not come across any of either class. Persons of life long Democratic persuasion and others of recent Republican faith are alike enthusiastic in support of the Chappaqua farmer. The latter class, lately so-called Radicals when that party ruled the State, are seizing the opportunity to renew their alliance with the Democratic masses, from whom they flew off at a tangent a few years ago. One of this class re marked to us, the other day, that he was surprised at certain gentle men in South Carolina not taking ad vantage of the Greeley movement to regain their former popularity with the white people. But it makes con siderable difference, when we consid er the Radical majority in South Car olina and the Democratic majority in Georgia. People who take advan tage of political opportunities are apt to be governed by majorities the world over, and thus the time-servers in South Carolina are desperately in love with Grant.

Pemberton, Taylor A Vo., Atlanta, Ga.; My daughter was taken on the 25th day of June, 1863, w’ith what was supposed to be acute Rheumatism, and was treated for the same with no success. In March, following, pieces of bone began to work out of the right arm. and contin ued to appear till all the bone lrom the elbow to the shoulder joint came. Many pieces ol bone came out of the right foot and leg. The case was then pronounced one of White Swelling. After having been confined to her bed abont six years, and tlie case was considered hopeless, I was induced to try Dr. Pemberton’s Compound Extract of Stillingiu, and was so well satisfied with its effects that 1 have continued the use of it until the present. Mx* daughter was confined to her bed about six years before she sat up or even turned over without help. She now sits up all day, and sews most of her time—has walked across tlie room. Her general health is now good, and 1 believe she will, as her limbs gam strength, walk well. 1 attribute her recovery, with the blessing of God, to the use of your invaluable medicine.
