I wish to say somothing of a Woman’s Mass Meet ing held in Boston at Tremont Tem ple on the evening of the 25th inst. Doubtless you have seen telegrams, but have received no letter from an auditor. The Temple is one of the most spacious halls in the city, and it was filled—every aisle, niche and stairway—the majority of the assem bly being women of course. The meeting was called by the women of Massachusetts, for the purpose of in dorsing the recognition of their rights contained in the Republican platform adopted at Worcester and Philadel phia, and to ratify the nomination of Grant and Wilson. Mrs. Lucy Stone called the house to order, and mak ing a few prefatory remarks, then nominated Rev. J. F. Clark to act as Chairman of the Convention. Rev. M. Manning was requested to pray, es—and he invoked the Great Ru er of the Universe to lend His di vine aid in carrying out this plan of woman’s suffrage. O Temporal O Mores ! Mr. Clark gave as the h ighest reason for the re-election of Gen. Grant: he can better be trusted with the administration of affairs than H. G. Then congratulating the women on their political progress, he intro duced Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, who spoke a few words. Said the Repub lican party and the other were like a baby and a doll—the one having a head of its own, the other having one fastened on it. Severe criticism might be passed on the figure , but we pass it for fear the baby might cry. Miss Mary Eastwan (woman) then read, well too, an address to the wo men of America. The document em bodied just what you would suppose from the nature of the meeting— “ Woman’s Rights.” Next, Mrs. Mary Livermore took her stand on the stage. She not only wanted the sham coalition (so she termed H. G. A Cos.) defeated, but she wanted them buried so deep that not one echo of Gabriel’s trump could ever reach them! In plainer terms, Messrs. Ed itors, she wanted us all in hell. She flatly denies Gen. Grant’s being a drunkard. Did not have a great deal to say against Horace G., but then “ I am not much in love with him.” Behold! what cloud is that you see just before you? there has been a muttering of thunder (strange phenomenon! no lightning preceding) —and the colored speakers Frances E. W. Harper “ has completely done!” There were two others, Mis ses Eastman and Margaret Campbell, who made some remarks. The whole proceedings amounted to this: “We want Gen. G. and Wilson elected be cause—because they will let us vote.” The meeting was then adjourned by tinging the doxology. Messrs. Editors, have you ever at tended a meeting of this kind ? This was my first and my last. God save Georgia and her sister States from such foul corruption. Pardon this hurriedly written account. M. H. F.

OCTOBER ELECTIONS. The grand success of the Democrat ic party in the late elections in Geor gia, is not only decisive of the polit ical rule of the State for the next four years, insuring a faithful and honest administration of her affairs, but also of the fact that the least and last shadow of a hope for Radical rule is forever obliterated. Not only does the election show the settled and de termined opinions of the white por tion of our population, but the equal ly important and gratifying truth that even among the colored people, not a single foothold is left upon which Radicalism can stand. Wherever the white man came to the polls, Smith received his vote, and with him came the faithful and trusty colored man casting the same vote, and by the side of his former master standing up for the peace of the community and the good order and prosperity of Georgia. This is as it ought to be; the interests of the white man and of the colored man are the same, whatever injures one affects the other, and so indissolubly are their fortunes for good and for evil united, that in the very nature of things they must, when left free to act, adopt the same views and pursue the same policy. The North, the bigoted, ignorant North, igno rant of the South, her feelings, her nature, and the true character of our people, may now open her wonder ing eyes at the scene presented by the polls of the late Governor’s elec tion. Throughout all southern and southwestern Georgia, as also that portion denominated the “black belt,” because of the great predomi nance of the black population, the election news is of the mast astound ing character. Here, where the ne gro is overwhelmingly superior in population, and where Radicalism expected to receive its main support, and upon which it calculated for the carrying of the State, it has not pos itively left to it even a corporal’s guard. In counties all over that whole region, and all taken together perhaps the largest portion of the State, where the black population, as compared to the white, stood in the ratio of from three to one, and even in some counties of seven to one ; everywhere, we believe, without scarcely a single exception, except it may be the county ofGreen, the col ored people cast their votes with the whites, and rolled up majorities for Smith and Democracy to such an amount as absolutely to crush out Radicalism, not to say anything about the defeat of Walker. We take it that this election is decisive of the political condition of Georgia, so far as the colored man is concerned, for all time to come. No native born scallawag, alas ! that there should be such a creature! no imported carpet bagger, no northern emissary, polit ical or religious (?) may trouble him self in the future, for the problem is worked out and stands demonstrated, that the black man of the South and the white man of the South, will, for the future be as one. We should like just now to know what the Georgia Radicals think of things. Utter amazement seems to have taken hold of the North at the grand Georgia success, for, while Ben Hill was making his gloriously eloquent speech at the Atlanta meeting the other night, a telegram was received by him, while speaking, enquiring how it happened that Georgia could give such a majority. Now if such be the impression there, what must Walker think, and w hat does Far row think, and how, pray tell, does the ex-Attorney General, the inde fatigable yet unfortunate Akerman think ? and worst of all how must they feel! The fact is, the hour for misrule and thieving and oppression and grabbing and pilfering the pub lic funds and general imposition on the people for the success of a rascal ly party and irected and managed, not for the public good, but for the pe cuniary emolument of a few and their favorites, has passed, and all those who have so long preyed upon the vitals of the State will, for all time to come find their occupation gone. Hon est men have the govern ment and honesty is now the order of the day. We are more than re joiced at the result of the election, not only because it assures the fact of Democratic ascendency in Geor gia, not only because it is the death blow beyond all resurrection of Rad icalism in the State, not only because it is strong assurance of Greeley’s majority in November, but because of the fact, now ascertained, and we trust never to be disturbed again, that no influence from without without or within can ever separate the black man from the white in Georgia. The majority for Smith is pretty well ascertained to be about fifty-six thousand. The moral effect of this election it is thought will be great, and the friends of constitutional gov ernment, will find their hands and their hearts strengthened by the triumph of the Georgia Democracy. We hail it as the harbinger of suc cess in November, and good to the country for the next decade. MR. GREELEY AND AMNESTY. It is with pleasure that we publish the following extract from an arti cle which appeared in the New York Tribune near a year ago, long before Mr. Greeley or any one else expected that he would be the Democratic can didate for President; and he cannot, therefore, be charged with publishing the article with a view of receiving Southern votes. All who are famil iar with Mr. Greeley’s style of writ ing will recognize it as his true senti ments. It is well known that he has favored universal amnesty ever since the close of the war. We see in this short extract more patriotism and good sense expressed than we have seen from any other source; and how any true Southern patriot can cast his vote against a man who ut tered such sensible and patriotic sen timents, is more than we can com prehend. Compare this with “Grant’s Amnesty Record,” and choose ye be tween them. But to the extract: “ It may well be considered wheth er it is not now time that the disabil ities imposed by the 14th Amend ment should not be removed. That amendment does not exclude the bal lot, and only imposes the disability to hold office upon certain classes. When the purity of the ballot is se cure, majorities are sure to elect offi cers reflecting the views of the rnajor itity. We do not see the advantage or propriety of excluding men from office merely because they were, be fore the rebellion, of standing and character sufficient to be elected to positions requiring them to take oaths to support the Constitution, and ad mitting to eligibility those entertain ing precisely the same views, but of less standing in their communities.” * EDITORIAL NOTES. GOV. BROWN’S LETTER to Hon John I. Hall, announcing his determination to support the Liberal- Democratic ticket, both State and Federal, and counseling other Liber al Republicans to do so, is made the subject of a spiteful paragraph in the Savannah Morning New*. That pa per says, in effect, that Gov. Brown’s presence will do the party harm rath er than good ; also that his influence is greatly overestimated; that, in fact, his influence is very insignifi cant, ig)t worth considering. The j Atlanta Herald, “ independent in all things,” in point of fact, so very inde pendent as to manufacture camp meetings, and other articles too tedi ous to mention, at short notice and in lots to suit purchasers, knowing that anything it might say against Gov. Brown would be of no consequence, copied said paragraph from the News. Now the Herald,famous for“jouraal astic enterprise,” ought to have known quite as well how to estimate these spiteful flings of the Morning News, as they do similar ones from itself. As for Gov. Brown’s influence we think we do not overestimate it; and we say of his letter to Mr. Hall, as we said in our last issue, “ we think it calculated to do great good.” And we say again, that, considering the action of the State Democratic Con vention in rejecting the overtures of the Liberal Republicans, Gov. Brown has shown a magnanimity in this matter worthy of our highest respect. THO3. TUMLIN AND DR. BAKER, our new members of the Legislature, we suppose are highly acceptable to the Democracy of the Banner county; at any rate, they are to us. Mr. Tumlin is a gentleman of fine, practi cal, business capacity ; a man whose intelligence, honesty, and zeal for the welfare and prosperity of the people generally, and Bartow county partic ularly, eminently fit him to Repre sent the county in the Legislature. We desire to say further that the course he has pursued during this canvass we think highly commenda ble ; he seems to have been elected without any effort whatever on his part. What has been said of Mr. Tumlin, as to integrity, capacity and fidelity to the true interests of the people, may also be said of Dr. Baker. Dr. Baker is a young man, and his election has a significance in this re gard which we hail with pleasure. By what we have said in regard to Mr. Tumlin taking no part in the canvass, we must not be understood as disapproving the course of Dr. Baker; for he, as we understand it, canvassed the county, not so much for him self, as against county caucusses and conventions; and in this connec tion, also, Dr. Baker’s election seems to have some significance. OUR SENATOR, J. W. WOFFORD, we take to be the coming man” of Nort h Georgia. He is so well and widely known that to praise him would be simply carrying coal to New Market. OUR “ STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND MECHANIC ARTS,” we learn, is doing well, having al ready more than a hundred and twenty students, with the prospect of as many more at an early day. This College is a part of the “State Uni versity and its students have the advantages afforded by the Libraries, Literary Societies, Apparatus, and at mosphere of the University; and these advantages, as every alumnus will testify, make more than half of the value of University training. The students of this college receive tui tion free; moreover, Dr. Lipscomb, the learned Chancellor of the Univer sity, and who, be it known, is doing more for the elevation of labor and the true greatness of Georgia than any dozen of our politicians, has succeed ed in obtaining comfortable board for the students at the low rate of twelve dollars per month; Dr. Lipscomb al so proposes to establish, in connection with this college, machine shops, manufactories, and an experimental farm, so that the student may learn the practice as well as the theory of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts. By this course the student will not only learn the practice of his profes sion, but the products of his skill and labor will be sold and the proceeds will pay his board! In a word, Dr.l Lipscomb intends to make the Uni versity of Georgia really, truly, prac tically, a University for all our people ; he means to arrange this matter so that the poorest man in Georgia may receive the benefits of University training; he means to make the high est educational advantages which Georgia affords, like the blessed sun light, free to every child of the Com monwealth. If Gov. James M. Smith shall do nothing else during his offi cial life worthy of admiration, his ac tion in disposing of the Land Scrip alone entitles him to the heart-felt plaudits, and grateful remembrance of all our people. We also believe that Andrew A. Lipscomb has done more than any man, whatever, not only for the intellectual growth, but also for the material prosperity of Georgia. To Dr. Lipscomb and the Faculty of the University, to Gov. Smith and his advisers, to the Trustees and all who aided them in this work, we say, and Georgia says, Well Done! THE NEW Y-ORK TIMES came to this office some days ago with a marked article from one Conant, at tempting to whitewash Bullock’s Bond Frauds. Will the editor of the Times please forward us his reflec tions upon the great Liberal-Demo cratic victory in Georgia ? THE BEAUTIFUL HAT PRESENTED TO THIS EDITOR BY MILLER GILREATH may be seen by calling at this office. Persons crowded out may get a glimpse at it next Sunday morning on its way to Sunday school. Said hat will also be on exhibition at the State Fair in Atlanta, October 14th. Our old hat is now for sale, with all its rights, members and appurtenan ces, will be sold cheap for cash, edi tors half price. This is valuable prop erty ; we know from three years ex perience. If said hat is not sold with in ten days we propose to bet it against a Jews-Harp with the tongue broke out that Horace Greeley is our next President. THE MEMPHIS AVALANCHE is not making an ass of itself by sup porting Andy Johnson, as was cur rently reported some time ago. The Avalanche is supporting Andy John son ; but it is not making an ass of itself s that was done, many years ago, by circumstances over which the Av alanche had no control. THE EXODUS FROM ALSACE AND LOR RAINE assumed, during the last days of the emigration, most extraordinary magnitude. It will be remembered tnat the inhabitants of these provin ces had begun to show such love for France, or rather such hatred for Ger many, that Bismarck judged it poli tic to issue an order, that those of them who were willing to leave their homes might do so within a specified time. Under this order more than eighty thousand people left their homes in one day, and crossed over the border into la Belle France; eight thousand left the city of Metz alone, leaving only ten thousand in habitants. That was a sad time; the papers all appeared in mourning. So j far as we know, the world has never before seen such a spectacle. There are many things in history calcu lated to excite our wonder, admira tion, love; but such calm, yet un bounded, love for one’s country as this, we have not seen the like of be fore. And such a country is not un worthy of such love; for, verily* France is the Pantheon of the world ‘ THE TRAVELING AGENT OF THE ATLAN TA HERALD, Mr. T. J. Burney, has been with us during the Fair. We are glad to learn that Mr. Burney got a good list of subscribers among us; he is active, energetic, clever, and, we doubt not, a very efficient agent; his success, however, must be due, to some extent, to the fact, that he represents the liv est daily in Georgia. While we say this much, we are very far from agree ing with the Herald in some impor tant matters: we regret exceedingly its war upon the “ Lease.” We also regret that, while it admits that it' would be much better to elect Gree ley than Grant, it is not sufficiently independent to support Greeley. GORMAN, OF THE TALBOTTON STAND ARD, has just got back from a “ six weeks tour in Europe.” Gorman says he “saw as much as any living man probably ever will see.” But Gor man is modest. This is not the half of it; he saw some things that no man, living or dead, ever did see, or ever will see, as the following will show: “We slept at the foot of Mt. Blanc, and witnessed the sun rise over its summit, covered with snow!” Bah! We’ll not believe it; we were not prepared for such a tale as this; Gorman ought to have led us up to it by degrees. For example he ought to have told us first that he had dis covered the site of the Garden of Eden, the source of the Nile, and the “ Fountain of Youth and Beauty;” also, that he had found the Ten Tribes of Israel, and had seen Vesuvi us spouting forth Polar Bears. Then we might have believed his tale about the sun rising covered with snow. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK TIMES. My Dear Sir : —We pine for your soliloquy on the “ elections in Geor gia.” T. (COMMUNICATED.) It was our happy privilege, on Sab bath last, to listen to a series of ser mons, morning, evening and night, from the liev. Mr. Burkehsad, of the Presbyterian Church. Physically, well developed, large, portly, and tine looking, he is natu rally attractive. Mentally, he is a remarkable man. Animated with Holy zeal, he warms with his subject, and with an earnest love for the Master and His truth, he speaks ve hemently and eloquently, showing great powers of mind and heart. His theme was the Gospel econo my in contradistinction from that of the law. Never have we before heard anything like it. He took new grounds ; argued upon an entirely new line of thought. The mind was left to say, “it is so that is the Gospel truth. Iu showing the con trast between the law and grace—the old economy and the new—he gave us the principles and controlling fea tures of each. While both the old and new economy were under the same covenant, yet were they estab lished by very different promises. The old dispensation was based upon the promise of temporal blessings. Do thi3, and verily thou shalt be fed, Temporal prosperity was assured to the obedient. Under the Gospel, which is the new and living way, the promises are, “ do this, and ye shall suffer.” His conclusions were fully supported by proofs from Scripture, there being three hundred texts, par agraphs, and chapters, in the new testament, directly establishing his position. He showed conclusively the law of the Gospel Kingdom to be, whom the Lord lovetb, he chasten eth, and scourgeth every one whom he receivetb. That if we be without chastisement, whereof all are par takers, then are we bastards and not sons. They that will live godly iu Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution, and that to suffer with Christ and for Christ were the terms of discipleship. In portraying the Christian as a suffer er he exhibited the grandest view of ohrißtianitj that mortals can conceive. The sufferings of Christ, of the apos tles and martyri were dwelt upon with telling power, and while the same intensity of suffering did not now attend the followers of Christ, yet were they called to suffer afflic tions, persecutions and sorrows, and through much tribulation enter into the Kingdom. He showed the soil of adversity to be the good ground where the graces of the Spirit grow best, such as humility, meekness, patience, &c. He showed that the right does not always prevail on the earth—and that a Christian is never persecuted for as serting a falsehood, but always for daring to assert the truth. And he explained why these things were so. How much distrust and confusion might we escape if we understood this matter correctly. How might we joy in tribulation also if we incor porated these mines of the Gospel System into our faith. We are truly thankful that it has been our privilege to hear this man of God preach. Our heart has warmed towards him as a brother beloved, and we shall cease not to pray for him, that through riches of grace he may loog be spared to the church in labors abundant, eonfirming the churches, and strengthening them in their most holy Kith, and in calling sinners to repentance. J. We are glad to learn that the Cass ville Baptist church, under the pas toral care of Rev. E. S. V. Briant, is now enjoying a Revival of considera ble interest. Up to Tuesday last three had been added to to the church by experience and two by letter. May the good work go on. Ex-Governor Bullock, of Georgia, is living in London in magnificent style.

Editors Standard <£■ Ex press .-—As I live a way back in the mountains, I seldom have anything strange to communicate to any of my friends, for that which is new to me I find is stale evry whare else. I would write to your paper once and a while, (as I am takeing it,) but about the time I get an article read dy I se some boddy has got a head of me and done had it published. I have just retnqjed from a long trip down the country. I was away be low Canton, in Cherokee. I tell you I saw lots of new things, (to me.) I met up with a lady, and old acquain tance of mine, who had had her back broke since I saw her last, (as I thought,) but when I made enqure ry of the perticulars and how it was done, she told me her back was not broke at all, but that it was a fash ionable something she wore under her dressing. She called it a bender, but it looked more like a braker to me. Wonderful notions people have these times, Mr. Local; for if a woman had ben made in that shape before them things come in fashion she would have complained of her deformaty, and would have ben a shamed to have gone in company. There is another thing that is most wonderful to me, that is, the groath of the ladies’ hare down thare. The most of them seem to have from seventeen to nineteen lbs. of hare grown out on their heads since I was down there before. I wonder that they do not cut some of it off, as it certainly must be cumbersome. They say down there that they are agoing to have good many elections this fall and winter, and that it is likely that they will not get enough men that is willing to sacrifise their intrest by accepting office. Thare is four that offers to accept the office of ordinary of Cherokee, and two of them are preachers, or else there would not be that many. Mr. Moss says that if nothing elce would satis fy the people, that he would serve as ordinary for another term. There is no excitement hear about elections. Good many Grant men here, but they are not to blame for that, for a good many haven’t heard but what Bullock was Governor yet, and do ing things well. Pickens. You can publish this if you chose, if not, my feelings are not hurt. __ P. WHAT WE SAW AT THE FAIR. We attended the Bartow CouDty Fair last week, and for the benefit of those of our readers who were not present, we proceed to mention some of the things which we saw on that interesting occasion. The ladies’ de partment, we are happy to state, was a decided success, there being quite a large and interesting variety of ar ticles of their manufactory on exhi bition. We noticed a beautiful as sortment of quilts, coverlets, counter panes, blankets, carpeting, etc., in the dry-goods line, and fruits, vege tables, jellies, cakes, and wines, in endless profusion. We did not have the pleasure of tasting any of those good things, as it was our misfortune not to be on the tasting committee; but if they tasted as well as they look edthey were well calculated to tempt an epicure. Mr. and Mrs. Dilbeck’s trio of ba bies were exhibited in the Ladies’ Hall on the last day, and attracted a great deal of attention, especially among the ladies. Some were filled with wonder, some with admiration, and others with envy, we suppose, on beholding the little innocent trip lets. They are all girls, are six months old, and are large, fat and plump. They are exactly alike, so much so we think that when they grow large enough to be spanked, the wrong one is as apt to be carried through that interesting exercise as the right one. They’re the productof Cherokee county. Cherokee is ahead yet! Hurrah for Cherokee! There was something said about offering premiums for triplets, etc., but Col. Johnson, the discriminating and prudent president, for reasons that are obvious, thought it best not to do so. The ladies did their part no bly, (and don’t they always succeed in whatever they undertake?) In our numble opinion they are the best part of creation, ten to one, anyhow, and if they were all out of the world it would be a miserable and poor concern. We saw a pretty fair display of mechanical inventions, but it was nothing like what it might and ought to have been. Messrs. Gilbert & Baxter, Pattillo, Baker & Cos., and Geo. S. Ruble, exhibited some fine plows, mowers, reapers, etc. The latter operated a buggy plow, drawn by four mules. It did remarkably well, making two large, deep fur rows at once, and turning the sod completely under. If we had to run the plow again, we would want one of that variety, with a good umbrel la. The “ Excelsior” plow was drawn by a pair of oxen and did ex cellent work. Mr. Reynolds’ thresh er, we believe, gave entire success; and the “ Buckeye Mower,” operat ed on the ground by him, was a per fect success. It moved like a thing of life, and shaved the grass as com pletely as the most skillful barber can shave the face of a customer. There is something practical, business like, and utilitarian, in such exhibi tions, and they should enter more largely into the attractive features of our fairs. Farmers must take more interest in such things if they wish the science of agriculture to be progress ive and successful. W T e did not no tice much fine stock on the ground. A fine Jersey bull, the property of Capt. T. K. Sproull, of Stilesboro, was the finest animal of the cow kind that we saw. He weighs, it is said, 1,300 pounds, and is a noble specimen of the brute creation. A few fine colts were brought into the ring. Among others was that belonging to our friend, J. C. Maddox, which we thought was a perfect model of its kind. We noticed a few buggy horses and horses for all work which we think would compare favorably with any in the State. It is also said that there were several fast horses on the track, from time to time, but we didn’t try any of them. On the last day of the fair, the “ Etowah Dra goons,” commanded by Lieut. W. H. Stiles, were out, and made a fine display. Upon the whole we were pretty well pleased, and hope that ail our people will take an interest in next year’s exhibition and make it a complete success. B.
