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 displeasure ofourlady-companion wholfcwo of tho most prominent of public 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 his manacled South and a bitter oppo nent of her persecutors—nnd wo can not believe that ho will continuo his candidacy should tho Convention sec fit to choose some other person to rep resent this District in Congress. scalawags there,and no cniqiat-hnggers.

Three cheers for the Covo I Greeley Still Alarmed. Greeley is still in doubt about the success of Ulysses—is greatly alarmed upon tho subject—sees every reason to fear his failure unless tho mongrels go to work with more earnestness than they are at present manifesting. Ho says that tho labor that is to insure the triumph of the Republican caudl- <lates “ is yet to ho donethat six times is many clubs as the Grant men now have aro necessary, and that be fore it can expect to win the dubs must “ gather and glean halt a million votes from those who are now indifferent or hostile » to the Republican party,— 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 the fact Hint they are this hour in per il of defeat, and will surely be bouton if their steadfast supporters aro not speedily aroused to general and intense activity,’’ wore the umbrclln-looklng sun-down or chignon protector, as wo shall call this horriil-Jooklng bead-gear. Wo i great admirer of tho ladles, indi wo invariably fall in lovo with overy pretty woman wo mcot—(don’t start, sweet sixteen,”at this announcement, for wo never tell them of thoso heart; emotions)—and we depreoato all fas] ions that will give to them so hideous (in nppearatico ns do tho chignon pro tectors,tho postnge-Btamp bonnets,and all tho other abomlnablo parapherna lia with which our beautiful maidens nnd scnsiblo matrons disfigure them selves In thoso latter days.

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: From our Atlanta Correspondent, Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 8]st,jjl808.

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. Ho lias a family, consisting of n wife nnd five daughters, living near Gaines ville, Georgin. This man has been here for some timo, claiming his re ward, nnd rather than bo turned emp ty away is now running ns breaksmnn nnd baggage master on what is famil iarly known, along the AA'. & A. R. it., as the “goober train,” at a salary of $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, and absolutely controls tho Superin tendent by his contemptible partiann- ism.

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.

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. ^ .
