o'o Oovo, &o., Sto. ! ijf
Wc, in company with a pleasant llt-
tlo party (one gcntloinan, two Indies,
and tlirco prattling “ well-springs'of
ploasuro") visited McLomore’s Oovo,
Walker county, last week—a romantic
und fortllo valloy oncircled by Look
out and Pigeon mountains.
On our way out several pleasing In
cidents occurred to break Iho monoto
ny of tbo trip, creating considerable
merriment, one or two of wbicli wo
must relate at tlio risk of Incurring the
Amos Kendall on the Situation.
Tlio v&ierablo Amos Kendall wroto
a letter to tlio llcinoernllu Club of
Washington city on tlio oeension of
tlio great meeting In that city the otln
D __ or night. This veteran politician was

Tho Way tho Money will Go.
While at Ringgold a few days ago,
wo learned that Mr; .1. M. Combs, Do-
pot Agont at that place, whoso salary
was $800, and who would have conlino
ed in olllc'o at tlio same price, was
made to “walk a plank” by tho “pow
ers that be;” and Mr. William Henry
(who, by tiie way, is a very olevor gen
tleman , though unfortunately in wretch
ed had company) appointed in his plnco
at a reported salary of Sixteen Hundred,
Dollars / / It may bo worth that, sura
to attend to tho duties of the office, hut.
when one of tho best Depot Agents on
tho Road, could have been retained at
half that prioe, it was tho bounq(en du
ty of tho miserable apology who dis
graces tho Gubernatorial Chair of
Georgia, If ho oared one cent for the
interest of tho State, to retain Mr.
Combs In office, regardless of Ida po
litical opinions. Out no, Ids contcmp.
tilde party bias controlled him In this
os wo learn It does in everything olso
pertaining to Ids office, and ho bad this
excellent agont and honest man dis
placed, and assigns to tlio position a
foohlo and inexperienced old man at a
double salary, jnst because tho inonra-
henj was a political opponont. How
oontomptibly small for tho Governor
of a great Stato to resort to such party
tricks, and how criminal to squondorthe
people’s money in this reckless man
ner. This Road, undor its former ex
cellent and honest management, was
mado to pay into tho Statd Treasury
from $40,000 to $50,000 por month, hut
wo have no idon that tho monthly pay
ments will reaoli anything like that
amount, controlled ns It will bo by tho
reckless and irresponsible party now
in powor.
A Candidate in the Field.
In the last nnmbor of tho Carters-
villc Express Gen. W. T. Wofford pub
lishes a lottor (in responso to 61 citi
zens of Murray and Whitfield counties
asking him to become a candidate) de
claring himself a candidate for Con
gress from this District. Wo are
friend and admirer of the General, and
wo regret this decision of his, for we
think it is calculated to do much mis
chief. ThoDemooratie Convention,call
ed to meet at Kingston on tho 9th, will
and ought to nssomhlo, and it will and
ought to uominato a candidato for Con
gross that the Democratic Party should
and must support, and this being the
case, should Gen. Wofford not ho tlio
nominee, and under the circumstances
wo dot think ho will, his cuudidaoy will
have a tendoncy to divide tho demo
cratic vote of tho District, and thereby
a Mongrel may slip into Congress from
North Georgia. Wo imva over regar
ded Gen. W. ns a patriotic gentlomnn
—one who has always had tho good
the country at heart, and above all an
unfllnclng friend and sympathiser

Greeley is still in doubt about the

upon tho subject—sees every reason
to fear his failure unless tho mongrels

they are at present manifesting. Ho

And all this, lie justly reasons, “ im
plies such a canvass as lias never been
made in our country." For those who
fancy tho election of Grant and Colfax
certain, ho says: “So far is this from

But we aro digressing greatly—wo
set out to spook ofour t rip to the Cove,
and the sensation created in tho rural
districts through which we passed by
our fair companion’s “ sun-down," or
chignon protector, which was drawn
down over tho oars iu such a way as
torcsombloa iargeslze-d “sugarscoup,”
minus bh° handle.
We wore driving along at a merry
rate, laughing and chatting, when wc
mot a gentleman nnd a fresh, rosy-
cheeked lass on horseback, ono of
whoso “crceters” berime considera
bly frightened at the Bitddcn move
ment of the head Hint wore the chignon
protector. The steod sliyed off, snort
ed and pawed tho ground nt a furious
rate, and it wns with much difficulty
that tho rider could force a passage by
our “ turn out.” We nil hud a merry
time over this littlo adventure, laugh-
lug and cracking jokes nt tho oxpenso
of our “ sun-clown’’V.bmpanlon.
But this was not tlio only sensation
created by this beautiful (I) bond-gear
Wo had not gone many miles from
where tho above adventure occurred,
until wo mot two lads driving a wag
on, who, after passing us, stopped their
team and looked after us for some min
utes, when ono of them exclaimed,
“ Bud, did you over see such a looking
thing?” at which they both raised a
loud yell and drove on.
Every ono wo mot eyed our compan
ion with tlio “ sugar Bcoup,” nnd the
children at almost every hotiso wo pass
ed were at tho door to see tho sight ns
it passed along. But ouough—our fair
friend, wo imngiue, will not visit the
rural districts again wearing a “ sun
down.”
Wo formed many pleasant acquain
tances in tlio Covo, nnd spent a most
delightful day and a half looking at
tko grand nnd picturesquo scenery that
shuts in this beautiful valley from tlio
outside world. On the west Lookout
lifts its head far above tho fertilo vale
beneath, while on the cast I’igcon moun
tain, though not so lofty, towers high
onouglt to obstruct the morning sun
long after it lias scattered tho dew-
drops on its eastern slope. This ro
mantic valloy brought vividly to our
mind Cooper’s graphic description of
Wyoming, ns given in his thrilling
revolutionary story, entitled “Tho Pi
oneer.”
Tiie Covo is very thickly settled with
an honest, industrious, thriving, peace
able nnd hospitable population, ninny
of whom possess excellent farms, which
are well improved, mid upon which we
found growing the finest crops of fruit,
corn nnd sweet potatoes, wo have ever
seen in Cherokeo Georgia. Tlio lands
of this valloy will equal in production
the far-fnmed lands on tlio Colorado
bottoms of Texas, nnd wo are sure we
never saw finer cattle on the prairies
in that State than nro to ho seen eve
rywhere in tlio Covo.
Tlio inhabitants of tills charming
spot are not only industrious and clev
er, but they aro a public-spirited poo-
pcoplo—warm advocates of education
and general improvement. As an ev
idence of tills a meeting was held at
Cedar Grovo Posl-Olllco tho day pre
vious to our arrival to tako into con-
sidcration Iho propriety of erecting a
two story brick building for a first class
institution of learning, nnd $1,700 wns
subscribed to tho enterprise in a very
little while. Tho building, we learned,
will bo commenced in a short time, nnd
when completed will cost about $3,000.
Seymour and Blair will ho elected
triumphantly in the Cove—hut few
menlnotlior days. Like F. P, Blair
tho oldor, ho wns otm of tho ablest par
tisan writers of his day, and like him,
too, generally on tTio winning side,—
Ho now takes tlio most out-and-out
stand for Seymour and Blair and tho
Constitution. AVo make the subjoined
extract from ids long amt itblo letter,
overy word of winch is true. Tiie
advice ho glvos to Congress is well-
timed and wholesomo, and if that body
would pursue tho courso ho recom
mends—retire within the liinitalloms
of tho Constitution, abolish their
oaths, remove all thoir disabilities and
strengthen Instead of woakon tlio Judi
ciary—peace, order and prosperity
would soon take the place of tlio pres
ent dread uncertainty wliieli lias set
tled like a pall over tlio whole land.—
Tills is tho only road to peace, and
oh that tlio reckless party now in
powor could see it and Buffer reason
instead of passion to guide them. But
read what the venerable Kendall says,
which is as follows:

Not only the colored men, but all tho
respectable whites cf Alabama, it is

grolism by hundreds. Even John
nardy, the meanest specimen of the
herd, declines to spend any more
iiionoy in attempts to bolster up the
worthless cause, and lias suspended

Stato of Foeling in tho West.
The Baltimore Sim, an independent
and very cautious and truthful paper,
reports by a correspondent a Radical
demonstration in Galena, Illinois, tho
home of Grant, which was intended to
ho a telling affair. It wiis got up with
infinite pains and provision made for
many thousands ; but less than eight
hundred voters were in attendance—
Grant himself wns there, sitting smok
ing in a buggy during all tho speaking,
and complacently hearing himself ex
tolled ns a greater pntriot than Wash
ington—a greater hero than Alexander
—n good deal ahead of Bonaparte in
Generalship and in polities a Solon.—
The littlo crowd sent up not a cheer.
Tlio letter appears to bo a calm and
well considered statement of facts, and
it oertninly discloses an extraordinary
condition of the Radical pulse and
temper In Illinois.
Gov. Soymour knows that tlio troopi nt the
South, i( u ni nt nil, will be used only to inniutnln
order, nnd prevent either e’nss from enereinp the
other into voting n particular ticket, or preventing
it from voting. But na Grant, Ida opposing can
didate, commands th&jmny, bethought it cunning
to iiiaiuualo wlmt lie would not havo dared to
assort, viz.: that Grant would use tlio Army to
promote ids' own election.—aVrw York Tribune.
Were wo to follow tlio Tribune's ex
ample we would tell him—ho lies /—
But wc will just tell him he h mistaken.
Everybody in tlio South knows Hie
military were used in tlio last election
to coerco votes for Radicals nnd pre
vent democratic votes—and wo assert,
what Seymour meant nnd the Tribune
knows, tlint “Uuant (will use tiie
Aiimy to promote uis own election.”
The Democrats don’t need an army
tho Radicals do to force successagninst
tho people's will.
TIds mania to get office nnd live by
public patronage, is alarming. Many
hundreds of men have quit their ordi
nary industrial pursuits nnd havo been
hanging around tlio footBtool of power
for tlio last two months, begging for a
morsel. To illustrate: the writer,this
morning, had a conversation with ono
John H. Stringer, nnd learned from
him that he : (Stringer) is about fifty
years old, a Baptist preacher, owns
seven hundred acres of land, in Hull
county, four hundred in Gwinnett,
throe hundred in Houston, and nbout
live hundred in the Stato of Alabama.

iarly known, along the AA'. & A. R. it.,

$39 per .month. A number of gentlc-
moin corroborate his statement as to
his circumstances, &e. This is one in
stance of monomania for office out of
dozens I could mention. Bullock tells
Hullicrt tlint the Road must he run
strictly in tiie interests of the party,

ism. Thoso conservative gentlemen

’that is now settling down upon this
paging institution,tiie State Roud, had
hotter make good use of their time,
for “ few and evil will ho tlio days of
thoir pillage."
Bullock is an immensely despicable
Radical. AVlien asked lo aid in sup
pressing the negro riot hero on tiie 18th
■ list., his reply was, “I’ll send for Tur
ner and Campbell (two negroes) nnd
see wliat can be done.” AA'lien asked
to issue a proclamation forbidding the
organization and drilling of negro com
panies In Southern Georgia, his reply
was, “ I’ll write to the leading negroes
in that section.” IIo could not issue
writs of election for tiie comities of Ir
win and Telfair Without a resolution
from tho Legislature giving him, au
thority so to do; yet ho ordered nil
election for Senator of tho 1st District
within twelve hours after that convict,
Bradley, had assumed to resign a seat
which ho novel’ legally had. Even the
Senate has seen fit to rebuke this ig
norant partisan Governor. It in cur
rently stated that Blodgett now open
ly proclaims that Bullock was elected
by fraud—that Gen’l Gordon wns elec
ted by six thousand majority.
No legislation of general interest
has yet been done. Tiie Radicals have
control of tiie committees, and only re
port upon such bills as they sec prop
er to bring to light—and they bring
to light nothing except something to
foster their own party purposes. To
bring up anything out of its order re
quires a suspension of tlio rules—this
requires a throe-fourths vote. Under
tiie leadership of Bryant every negro
oil tho floor, nnd a few simon-pure rad
icals voto a. stentorian NO I which
nothing on earth, except tlio braying
of forty asses, could equal. Most of
such bills ns have been reported on,
hive been killed. Their proposed leg
islation would ruin tho country: A hill
to organize the militia, an exact copy
of the Tonncsseo Militia Law; a hill
to provide a State police, consisting
of a Stale Constable and a deputy
Constable for each county, who slinil
organize police companies of such ma
terial and in such numbers as the exi
gencies may demand, all to he appoint
ed and controlled by /its Excellency ;
n school bill covering about a quire of
paper, providing for innumerable ap
pointments, nnd an unlimited expend
iture of money, and looking to educa
ting tlio two races in the same schools;
a bill to throw nil tlio legal advertise
ments in each Congressional District
into one newspaper, to ho designated
by bis Excellency,—and tho like!—
These iniquitous hills will never pass
into laws. Such decent bills as we
havo been nlile to get before tho House
wo havo passed.

tions, 1ms had under consideration for

C. 1). Robertson, Esq., an efficient
Radical stumper, made a speech for
Seymour and Blair at a ratification
lucclingin Brownsville,Iowa,for which
lie is terribly abused by tho Radical or
gans.
The Cleveland (Ohio) Pluindealer
says the lion. Rich, Gregg, of Aurora,
Denborn county, a life-long Whig, and
a. Republican nt the organization of
that party, citme out in a public speech
ill Aurora last week for Seymour and
Blair. -
lion. F. T. Backus, of Cleveland,
formerly a popular speaker of the Itad-
How to Make Radioals.
Tlio following ■ receipt for making
Radicals has been placed In onr hands.
For tho benefit of all interested, wo
givo it a place iirour columns :
Take a large amount of ignorance, a
half a pint of corruption, one ounce of
cowardice, one pound of liutrcd of in
telligent white men, ono pound of ne
gro battery or deception. Put them
all in tho uiiconstiuilim.nl mortar of
contention, bruise them Well with the
pestle of oppression; or lirownlow's
military despotism. Then put tiie com
pound into lira kettle of midnight plot
ters. Add a gallon of tho essence of
negro social equality. Boil it over the
lire ol confiscation until you can per
ceive a Bcum of falsehood rise to the
top. Skim the scum off 'with the ladle
of traitorism. Let it stand till it set
tles, then pgt it In the freedmen's bu
reau jug. Take two tablespoonsful
every night, nnd work it off in the
morning with a small dose of revenue
officer collector's spoils. If thu pa
tient ho much debilitated—as lie will
bo very apt to be, if lie 1ms any symp
toms oftrue constitutional government
still remaining in him—let him take
two teaspoonslul of decoction of negro
,tcrtguea; awccUmcd -with a hy pocvitical
prayer, and ho will be as confirmed a
Radical as over .polluted tiie South
with his presence Nashville Gazelle.
Tiie Ground Swell AVo Imvo not
witnessed in twenty years so greul a
degree of enthusiasm for any Presiden
tial ticket ns is now manifested all over
tiie North for Seymour nnd Blair. We
imvo never known a Presidential ticket
to awaken so little enthusiasm ns does
that of Grant and Colfax. The Dem
ocratic ticket is sweeping the North in
a perfect avalanche. Tiie Great West
is all ablaze with popular excitement.
The air is full of popular electricity.
Everywhere men are burning to wipe
out and utterly crush this inexpressib
ly base, cruel, corrupt dominion of
Radicalism.
If further evidence of the truth is
needed than is furnished upon Demo
cratic testimony, it is to be found in
the Radical newspapers, and In Radi
cal special dispatches from all points
in tlio West, announcing tlm spread of
tho great revival. And to add to this
testimony from Radicals,unwilling nnd
unwitting witnesses,we Imvethc follow
ing from tiie editorial columns of the
Press and Times of yesterday.—Nash
ville. Banner.
Those BlesbeD Results.—Tlio great
argument of the Radicals seems to lie
this: If Grant is not elected the results
of tlio into war will he lost.
Tlm result? which these precious pa
triots are so anxious to keep, may he
catalogued ns follows:
Negro outrages in tlio South.
Stealing (ind defaulting by Govern
ment officers.
Enormous taxation.
An overwhelming public debt.
High prices for all the necessaries of
life.
A depreciated currency.
A'gencrnl stagnation in business.
A total Jack of confidence iu Govern
ment.
And a Pandora’s box full ot social
and political evils, a'.l growing out of
the lute war. ^ .
Thoso who wisli to preserve these re
sults, and multiply them year by year,
will vote lor Grant Louisville Cou
rier.
Excellent Illustration ThoNew
York World thus illustrates tlio situa
tion ns tho Radicals would have it:
“1 have knocked you down, I have
beaten you, I Imvo spit in your throat,
I have picked your pocket, says the
truly loil mull; and if you heat mo
lintk again, or attempt to deprive me
of]my linrd-enrncd gnins, I will cry out
revolution, and everybody who isn’t a
rebel, nud a traitor, and a bloody rev
olutionist, and n disloyal man, and a
rcpublicnnist, will fly to my rescue
Let us have peace ; and now, my good
friend, for another dig at your purse.”

at tho Seymour und Blair ratification
meeting in that city.
Ex Gov. Sherwood, of Wisconsin,
lias recently collie out unequivocally
for Seymour and Blair, ami will at
once take the stump for the purpose of
aiding in their election. Gov. Sher
wood lias been n Republican until with
in n very few weeks,blit) like thousands
of olliei's, lie inis discovered tlio rascal
ity and corruption of that party, and
will henceforth he found with tho par
ty of the Union and the Constitution,
battling for peace, lie is a gentleman
of great ability nnd influence.
The Democratic Watchman, of Bol-
lcfontainc, Ohio, snys that “ within a
circle of live miles from this place, we
have the names of forty-three men who
have all their lives voted with the op
position, and who are earnestly work
ing for tlio success of Seymour and
Blair.”
jjulgo Mellon, ofj Pittsburg, Fenn.,
an influential Radical, has renounced
Radicalism, and become an earnest
supporter of Seymour and Blair.
At the Democratic Convention in
the 12th Ohio District, on the 5th in
stant, Col. Lyman L. Jackson, of Ter
ry county, an influential Radical, made
a speech declaring himself for Seymour
and Blair.
Livino Issues.—The New YorkHor-
aid says, llmt the ‘'living issues” of thu
Presidential canvass, “are Hie (Upi'omi-
mil corruption of the pnrty ill power,
its reckless extravagance, its atrocious
negro supremacy policy, its despotic,
unconstitutional usurpation nnd tho ne
cessity of nn economical mid better
governmont. In those there is matter
enough, if properly handled; t i sink
tiie Radical party in tlio lowest depths
of infamy and beyond tho hope of res
urrection. But the facts must ho put
tersely and squarely before the people,
or tlicy will he smothered up by tiie
adroit management of the RUjlicnis in
confusing the’ public mind With past
ami side issues and political claptrap.”
