We take the following from the Atlanta correspondent of the Savannah News: The Ofinion of Prominent Democrats. —Au influential Democrat remarked in my- hearing that he considered the Demo cratic organization of more consequence to the country than the possession of the Presidency for four years, and that the organization and the party would both be destroyed if we went into the support of the Cincinnati ticket. Another Democrat, equally intelligent and prominent, con curred as to tho latter part of the propo sition, admitting that tho party would soon disappear as a party, if it failed to make a nomination for itself. He con tended, however, that the defeat or Grant ; was of greater importance to the peace and prosperity of the country than party organization could possibly be. He main tained the re-election of Grant would more effectually destroy the Democratic party than the adoption by the party of Uie Lib eral Republican nominees, and that Grant's success in the approaching elec tion would put the Radicals firmly in pow er for the next quarter of a century, if it did not revolutionize and overthrow the government itself. A third Democrat be lieved, on the contrary, that the partv would survive even if it should deem it best nnder tho circumstances, to support the ticket put forth at Cincinnati—that the party in that event, would certainly swallow up the Liberal Republicans, as it had done in Missouri and Yirginia, and again retain possession of the government for years to come. Such are some of the differing views among intelligent Democrats. They show, if nothing else, how- important it is that we should be patient and discreet and await the action of the two conventions yet to assemble.

The Savannah Advertiser and Griffin, News, through their correspondents, are circulating again the absurd and ridicu lous story that Judge Montgomery-, of the Supreme Court, made his recent de cision on the forty-days session by request of Gov. Smith. Now this is rich. It is so palpably little. There’s not a darky in the State who could not trump up a more believable story. It is so small that the vilest wretch in the State wouldn’t give it credence for the millionth part of a second. It’s as thin as carpet-bag patri otism.

And it was impos sible to make immediate financial nego tiations in time to avoid the emergency. Had this been the only complication, I could have readily and easily met and overcome it; but our Railroad involve ments added,’constituted obstacles which required time to remove. I still cherish the hope however that I shall yet be able to extricate the government from its mul tiplied embarrassments without resorting to the stupendous sacrifices heretofore found necessary to maintain a fictitious smoothness in is administration. I will at all events strive earnestly and consci entiously to fulfil my duties.” The Republican convention of the 2d Congressional district, which assembled at Union Springs, on Wednesday, elected Richard Busteed, Judge McDuffie, of Lowndes county, and E.

The Tennessee Democratic State Con vention which convened on Friday last, adopted the following resolutions expres sive of the sense of the Democracy of that State: 1. That we recognize, among other things, as cardinal points in our political faith the following: The preservation of our local State Gov ernments against Federal encroachment, and centralization of power. The equal ity of all men before the law r , and an equal participation of all citizens in the rights and benefits of government. The subor dination of the military to the civil au thority, The inviolability of the right of habeas tar pit*. The purification of the corrupt civil seryie.e of the government. A rigid economy *n the expenditures of government, and a faithful compliance with its obligations. The preservation of the national honor at home and abroad. The union of the States, and all the guar antees of the Constitution respected. And, for the purpose of securing the rec ognition and faithful application of these principles in the administration of our na tional government, we are ready and will ing to co-operate with all good citizens in the pending Presidential contest, without regard to other and minor differences of creed or policy, or past political names or associations. 2. That inasmuch as the convention of i liberal Republicans, held at Cincinnati, 1 in the first succeeding days of the present month, has presented to the \ country the names of Horace Greeley, of New York, and Benjamin Gratz Brown, 1 of Missouri, as candidates for President and Vice President of the United States, pledged to the maintenance and enforce ment of the doctrines above enunciated, and have invited the co-operation of all patriotic citizens in their support, we deem it but the part of duty to declare, that, in the contest now' well nigh upon us, the said nominees deserve the support of every patriot in the land, as against a ticket representing the principles, policy and practices of the present Federal ad ministration. And while re-affirming our purpose and desire to preserve the integ rity of the Democratic party, we do nev ertheless declare; in our behalf and, as we are well satisfied, in behalf of the people we here represent, that in our opinion, with the lights before us, the presenta tion of candidates for the Presidency and i Vice Presidency, in the approaching con | test, by the Democratic party of the na ! tion would be unwise, unnecessary and ; exceedingly dangerous to the welfare of i the people at large. Twenty-two delegates to represent Ten i nessee in the Democratic National Cou ! vention at Baltimore were then appointed, who were instructed to carry out, in be half of the Democratic party o i Tennes ‘ see, in said Convention, the spirit of the ■ foregoing declarations. The Griffin Cultivator comes out for ! Geu. Alfred H. Colquitt for Governor. atheism-infidelity. Atheism and Infidelity, although used in a like sense, are properly not synony mous. An Atheist is one who denies a supreme intelligent Being—an Infidel disbelieves in Christ, Mahoinmed, Moses, Confucius, &c., and thinks, although gifted with great virtues and wisdom, these men were only law-givers and philosophers like Lycurgus, Solon, Socrates and Horace Greeley, and no ways spoke or acted from immediate divine inspiration and author ity. The latter class also deny and reject the evidences of miracles and prophesies as recorded by mere human writers and historians to establish the truth of super natural events and revelations. Truth is opposed to both Atheism and Infidelity. The human mind, like a pendulum, swings continually between the extremes of too much credulity and too much skep ticism. Our mental convictions and ha bitual practice should settle upon the golden mean—to reject everything false in religion, politics, manners and morals, and cling only to the truth. Here, how ever, we are met with the celebrated question of Pilate—“ What is truth?” Our , selfish passions and prejudices come into play, our reason is darkened, and we are i left like Sampson without his strength, to ; grope in eternal darkness amid falling pii ■ lars and ruins. We know that belief is commonly es teemed a virtue, and unbelief a crime— but why? Is it a greater sin to believe too little than too much? The human miseries having their origin in supersti tion and bigotry have certainly equalled and outnumbered those that have sprang from atheism and infidelity. The fool believes everything or nothing—the bad, only that which agrees with their evil in clinations, while the wise and good only, in spite of self-denials and humiliations and personal interests, diligently seek the right and heroically do it even to their hurt. The first never care to enquire— the second are never faithful to their own conscience and duty—the last never cease their search after whatsoever is honest and truthful, and when found, consider it a treasure which no wealth or power can purchase or subdue. The historian tells us that on his way from Egypt to France, the fireat Napoleon was sitting one night on deck, surrounded by some of his officers, the vessel at the time cutting the tranquil and blue waters of the Mediterranean. The stars, the poetry of Heaven, were over head in all their glory. The officers were in an animated argument about the existence of a God and the final destiny of the soul. One, more insolent and igno rant than the rest, approached the mighty conqueror and lawgiver and asked him if he believed in a God ? The grey-eyed man stretched forth his finger, pointed to the great dome overhead fretted with golden fire, and with that quick, concen trated energy which toppled thrones and empires, asked—“ Who made that?’’ The atheist was answered and wilted, and although it may bo more difficult to silence the infidel, still, may we not hope that when he thinks on the mysteries of his own birth, life and death, that poor feeble reason must need some other support —that there are more things in Heaven and Earth than is dreamt of in philosophy—that the resurrection of the doad is naturally no more difficult to un derstand than the breath of the living—may we not trust that with the humility of a child he too will seek, find, knock and knter, ask and receive. Fixe Weiting.— A New York journal has a city reporter who seems to have im bibed bunkum with his mother’s milk. He has an ordinary street robbery to re port. Some scalawag has seized a lady’s purse on Broadway. How does ho go to work at that? First comes a description of the serene sky and the crowded earth, a comprehensive glance at the state of hu manity generally, when Mrs. Snooks set forth for Madame McFlimsey’s popular store to purchase one of those famous shoe-strmgs so widely known and appre ciated. The reporter then involves from his inner consciousness his theory as to the workings of Mrs. Snooks’ mind. At this stage he interpolates the thrilling his tory of Shorty Bullock’s early life, and his mother’s prayers and Shorty’s innate wick edness. With patient minutioe he brings young Bullock’s career up to the point of Mrs. Snooks’ unfortunate rencontre. Just here he diyerges into a severe condemna tion of woman’s weakness in carrying a pocketbook in her claw, when she should use her breeches pocket. This naturally suggests the woman’s rights movement — Cady Stanton and Anna Dickinson. Fi nally by easy stages, we go back to the onslaught of Shorty on Snooks’ pocket book, the flight, the pursuit, and its inci dental features. Some blocks further on we discovered that Snooks has her money, that Shorty Bullock is in durance vile, and that an ambitious reporter has seized the opportunity to air his fine writing, as the supernumerary at Burton’s who had an announcement to make, and concluded to give the audience a taste of his quality, he did it in these words: “My lord, the carriage waits, and I would also state that the man who lays his hands upon a woman, except in kind ness, is a base wretch ’twere flattery to call a name that, in that lexicon of youth which fate reserves for a desperate man hood, you cannot find.” While Nilsson returns to Europe with an immense bank account, Patti exists in a perpetual shower of diamonds and francs. Lucca is already rich, and the divinities of the hour are everywhere so prosperous, it is not without a pang of melancholy sympathy that one reads of Mario forced to return to the stage which he so recently bade farewell, and Taglioni compelled to give dancing lessons in Lon don. The great tenor lost his substan tial fortune by the failure of his bankers in Florence. Taglioni’s all was swept away in the war; and a similar misfortune brings both those noted artists again before the public of anew generation. The Negro Congressman Elliott’s Wife. —A Washington letter says : Elliott has his wife here, a very handsome, stylish .woman, with little negro blood in her veins, hardly enough to distinguish her from our own race. One day she entered the diplomatic gallery, where there were several wives of Congressmen, and a flut ter was the consequence. Some left, and others informed the gentlemanly usher that ho must never again subject them to the crushing indignity. Those who made the most fuss about it w r ere the wives of the most Radical congressmen. Charleston, May 17.—The Stato au thorites acting under recent stringent en actments, are advertising large amounts of real estate in every county, to be sold ab solutely, in the first week in June, for unpaid, arrears of taxes for ISGB, 18G9 and 1870. As the State guarantees the titles obtained at the sales, great efforts will be made by delinquents to save their prop erty, and it is expected that $1,. - >OO,OOO of arrears will be received in the State Treas ury before the day of sale. The Georgia Road, for $500,000 of en dorsement, gets $025,000 of Port Royal i Road stock, with power of attorney, for ! three years to vote $900,000 of stock, to have the option at the end of the three years to purchase the stock at its market value. It is asserted that in Boston, no house valued at $20,000 has been totally de stroyed by tire for forty-eight years. Truth and Poetry. —Milton puts into the mouth of Lucifer, in “Paradise Lost,” these memorable words — “to be weak is miserable. ’’ Never was a truer sentence written than this—supposed to be from the Arch fiend in his impotence and agony. Every : victim of nervous debility, or of that de pressing languor which is one of the ac companiments of dyspepsia and bilious ness, can testify to the misery of mind i and body which they involve. The mo tive power of the system is partially par alyzed ; the mind is haunted by anxiety and fear; and the sufferer is as incapa ble of applying himself energetically to ' any kind of business as if he were under the benumbing influence of catalepsy. This terrible mental and physical condition need not, however, be endured for for ty-eight hours by any human being. Plantation Bitters is an absolute spe cific for all the torments which a derang ed stomach, a disordered liver, and ; shattered nerves, superinduce. WEEKLY REVIEW OF MARKETS.

The Cotton Situation. —Prices have im proved this week both at Liverpool and New York. The American crop will t>e considerably under three million bales, judging from the present, and will hardly reach that amount, in cluding the overland. The prospect of the growing one is not very favorable. The dri weather thus far has not much affected the growing cotton, but it is preventing large areas Iroin sprouting. The ground has been baked hard. Cotton that was planted earlv looks well; that within the last two weeks is very spotted. On an average about two-thirds of the crop is up. The area is about the same as last year. Indications to-day are favorable to rain. Since April 21st. wo have had only two light showers and those were hardly sufficient to lay the dust. Below hero the drought has beeu longer. Last year during the sarno time wo had ten heavy" rains. The seasons have boen exactly reversed. Should the drought contin ue much longer replanting much cotton will be rendered necessary, and the finding of suffi cient seed will be a serious matter. The corn is suffering badly. Small grain appears prom ising. Such enormous quantities of guano have not been used as reported. Thus the Columbus agencies have sold some nine hundred tons more than last year, but their brands appear to be favorites and the sales have been ex tended over double the area of 1871. In tliis immediate section they report less has been disposed of than in 1871. They reported sold in 1870, 4,000 tons; In 1871, 1,800; in 1872, 2,707. The course of seasons will enter largely into the calculations of luture prices, and the pres ent ones will be sustained if the weather con tinues unfavorable, should they not advance, it is however undeuiablo that the present quotations are very high, and had there been a good crop, or farmers held, they would have realized > ery handsome profits. Last year alter this date, including 36 bales received at our manufactories which did not pass through the warehouses, Colnmbus receiv ed 2,057 bales. Our first new bale was received on August 17th. Our factories have thus far taken from the warehouses 4,074 bales. Their total purchases, inoluding those of the Tailas see mills, not very far from here, are over 8,000 bales.

Provide Against Danger. At this season all the great lines of travel be gin to swarm with human beings intent on bu siness or pleasure. Are these moving multi tudes aware ol tlie danger which ensues from drinking different varieties of water and breath ing atmospheres to which their lungs are unac customed 1 Do they realize how important it is to be pre-armed with an antidote that will de fend their systems from the evil consequences of such ohanges and from all ailments and dis turbances which arise from the mia-rna so plentifully evolved from the soil at this period of the year 7 Such an antidote—certain in its protective operation and free from everything objectionable in its composition and flavor—has been for twenty years before the world. No instance can be adduced, during tuat period, in which llostetter’s Stomach Bitters lias failed as an acclimating medicine, or as a preventive of the bodily ills to which tlie undefended sys tem is liable in unhealthy localities. A good appetite, perfect digestion, a vigorous condition of the nervous system, functional reg ularity, aud a pure and active circulation, are tho elements of health, and these signal bless ings may bo secured and perpetuated by the use of this powerful, yet harmless, vegetable tonic. Such is tlie experience of all who have ever taken it as a safeguard against the dis eases which debility, irregularity and a morbid condition of tho soljils and fluids of the body are suro to invite.
