I will address the people of the Ninth District upon questions of vi tal public in tercet.; as follows : At Morgantou,Monday,October 21. At Blairsville, Monday, October 28. The people are respectfully invited to attend these appointments, and the Democratic papers are requested to give them publicity. H. P. Bell. Hill On Hayes. We regret that we have not the space to publish the letter of Hon. B. H. Hill on Hayes and his admin istration, as every thing from his pen is exceedingly interesting. It teshits entirely of Hayes’ conduct since his inauguration and effectually disposes of his sham pretense of hdneet administration and reform in V : civil service. When Hayes’ in- became a fixed fact, Mr* tin like many others, was disposed t| make the best of it and give credit f<§r his good deeds in office, if any should bo due him. But in Mr. Hill’s opinion, Hayes, in appointing all the Returning Board scoundrels and “visiting statesmen” to offic., “has thrown away his opportunity to honor himself and serve his coun try, by recognizing an obligation to reward those, who, by frauds most disgraceful to their country, gave him this opportunity. He has thrown away the grandest opportu nity ever given to a man, only that he might give offices and rewards to as worthless a set of rapscallions as ever disgraced humanity.’’ Premising that -two men only, Johnson .and' Hayes, became Presi 4etrts by reason of crime, Senator Hill draws the contrast between the former, who hanged Mrs. Surratt while “protesting her innocence with an honest woman’s tears and a devo ted mother’s entreaties/' and the lat ter, rewarding Agues Jonks, who, “confessing her guilt in brazen gib berish never before equalled, receives an office of good pay and little work at the Treasury.” “In Mr. Johnson’s case,” says Senator Hill, “all the criminals, real or suspected, were specially marked for punishment; in Mr. Hayes’ case, all the criminals, real or suspected were specially marked for reward.’’ This ia all true and in. nothing but what might have been confidently expected from a person of the feeble mental calibre and moral weakness of Hayes. That, Mr. Hill expected better this#* of the fraudulent ad ministration ia more creditable to bis willingness to be favorably im pressed, than his accustomed politi cal sagacity. But as it has turned out, Hayes is morally as guilty -as if he had with his own hand, thrown out Democratic votes, prepared forged affidavits and falsified actual returns, and as Mr. Hill well says, “his administration has persistently identified its life, it3 power and its character with the frauds of its ori gin.” The letter is drafted ia Mr. Hill’s inimitable style and expresses the earnest convictions of Democrats everywhere. The great fraud of 1870 is one crime that never will be con doned or repeated. Speer’s War Record. Ao the beginning of the late unpleas antness, Mr. Spoer had attained the mature age of twelve years. As he was increasing presumably in wis dom and stature, the war wa3 draw ing to an unhappy close. Some few months before its termination, so runs the legend, little Emory,, cut ting the maternal apron strings, de camped from the parental ro f, joined a critter company and rode horseback through Georgia in search of buttermilk and glory. If he per formed any martial deeds, history has failed to chronicle them; if he was ever in an engagement there is no mention of it; if he ever captured anything more formidable than an old mammy’s fat-gourd, tra dition is siieut on the subject and if he ever saw a Federal soldier till after the surrender, its more than his kin folks ever heard of. Yet on tie strength of this record as a “sol dier,” he now asks the votes of rea* soldiers; because, when a little fif teen year old, he ran away from home on a pleasure trip, as the aver age small boy plays truant and goes a fishing, he would induce people to believe that there is lurking ill him somewhere, the needful qualifications for a congressman. The Independent candidate banks very heavily on the gullibility of ihe voters of this district, if he supposes they aro likely to be influenced by any such clap-trap as this. They re spect the soldier; they honor the sol dier; but they are not to be cheated by a run away school boy who gallops a mule up and down, the big road aud calls it war. Hon. Wm. E. Smith has written a letter to the editor of the Cartersvjlle Free Fressin which he says: “What ever my valuation and admiration of Dr. Felton as a man and a legislator, I prefer the regular nominee against any Independent. GAINESVILLE, GA., FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 18, 1878 Ihe State Committee's Address. We publish in close, proximity hereto, the address of the Democrat ic State Executive Committee to the Democrats of Georgia. It is a strong and pertinent document and merits the careful perusal of all Democrats Let the truths it contains, become familiar to us all and our party rank will not be broken on the day of No vember’s election. The time in which to appeal to good and true Democrats is most ovc-r. In a little more than two weeks the Democratic party of Georgia will look back upon victory or defeat. If Corker, Arnold, Felton and Speer be successful, every Republican iaGeor gia and the country will claim the victory and all Democrats will be obliged to acknowledge a defeat. Let no Democrat be deceived as to the danger and the fact of its exis tence. Last week in lowa, (the State which gave Hayes 59,228 ma jority over Tilden,)the sixth aud sev enth districts, Republican in T 876 by 4,059 and 7,788 respectively, elected Democratic-Greenback candidates to congress by a fusion of all those op posed to the Republicans. Do Geor gia Democrats intend that results like these in lowa are, next month, to be offset by Democratic defeats in the first, fifth, seventh and ninth dis tricts, through combinations of In dependents, Greenbackers and Re publicans ? Not by any means. Our party in Georgia is not disposed to sacrifice its legitimate majority in aDy such way and will on the fifth of November send a unanimous Demo cratic delegation to congress, from Nicholls to Billups. Tlie National Greenback Party, Thi3 is a bad year for political prognostications of any kind; but un less all signs have failed, the October elections settled the fate of the Na tional Greenback party. There have been elections for congressmen in fifty five districts, not one of which has been carried by the greenbackers alone. In throe districts —one each in lowa, Indiana and Maine—they have succeeded, aided by the entire Democratic vote; and in two districts —one in Maine, the other in lowa— they have aided Democrats in defeat ing Republicans. It is safe to say that without assist ance they cannot elect a single mem ber. unless it be in.the Luzerne dis trict of Pennsylvania; and there their nominee is the present incumbent —a Democrat of fifty years’ standing. Even aided by one or the other old parties, as the contested district may be Democratic or Republican, they will not have over half a dozen repre sentatives out of two hundred and ninety-three in the next House. How idle then for greenback men in this section to expect to secure currency reforms in any other way than in and through the Democratic party. So far as Democrats agree with Nationals, so far can Nationals succeed by acting with them against Republicans the natural enemies of both. But as a separate organization undertaking to control legislation as agiunst Democrats and Republicans, the National-Greenback party is a first-class humbug, drawing a few votes from both organizations and injuring neither. A Correction. The Atlanta Sunday Gazette in its last issue speaking of the probable result iu this district says: “It is conceded on all sides that Speer will carry Habersham, Pickens, Fannin, Union, Franklin, Ilali and Banks. His friends claim Clarke, Towns, Oconee, Jackson and Mor gan, and claim his election by from 500 to 1,500 majority.” We opine the above was written by a strong friend of Speer, who wishes him success, but the truth i3 that no Democrat concedes to the In dependent, Banks, Hall or Union, three counties he will certainly not carry. He will lose Clarke, Jackson, Morgan and Towns besides. Oconee and Franklin are doubtful as also Pickens and Fannin. Spoer has no chance for an election and this every Democrat concedes but no more. It is easy to understand why Hayes should like to visit cattle fairs j but it is not easy to understand why he should have received or accepted an invilation to visit the grave of James Madison. James Midison was a patriot and a statesman. More over, he was elected President by the people of the United States, and would have scorned to hold that or any other office if there had been fraud in his title. What has Hayes to do beside the grave of such a man r.s this? His presence there is a des ecration. —V- 1. Sun. James Buchanan of Indianapolis, the leader of the Greenbackers of Indiana, said the other day that his crowd would swallow the Democratic party. As the Demociats increased their majority in Indiana last week and polled ten times as many votes as the Greenbackers, the swallowing process seemed to be reversed. j ADVICE FROM HEADQUARTERS. ; The Democratic State Committee On The Situation. j At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Democratic party : for this State at the capitoi in Atlan i ta on the Bth, the following commit j tee was appointed by the chairman ■to prepare an address to the Demo j cratic party of the State. James M. Pace, Chairman; J. L. | Warren, W. A. Harris, M. J. Hateh- I er, J. T Waterman, W. T. Trammell, J. A. W. Johnson, M W. Lewis, and W. E. Simmons. The following is the address issued by the committee to the people of the State: THE address. To the Democratic Party in Georgia: The State Democratic Executive Committee of Georgia, animated by a sincere regard for the welfare of the State, and viewing l with undis guised concern the existing opposi tion to some of the regularly chosen candidates of our party deem it time ly to address Georgia Dsmocrits upon what it considers the impera tive duty of the hour—the duty of true party allegiance and Ihe impor tance of its discharge. We speak no mere formal words to you; we ask you to hear u.3for our common cause. The peril of party disintegration is foreshadowed in a personal indepand entism that professes fealty to Dem ocratic principle. The large numeri cal majority of the Democracy of the State has begotten a feeling of secu rity, and a disregard of the princi ples that won success. This sense of security appears to be drifting us steadily towards the dissolution of our party bond, and the ultimate tri umph of cur political enemies in our own State. Not only this, but the great national victory for which Damosrats have been struggling for more than a decade of toilsome years, and now for tha first time within our grasp, must be inevitably lost to us if our party unison ceases, if our par ty zeal wanes, or if our party strength is weakened by selfish aspi rants or disorganizing factionists. It is well for the Democracy of Geor gia to take soundings of its course, and in this early hour before the bat tle of the hallo’s, deliberate what is beat to be done, and what must be avoided. All sensible men must ac knowledge the need of co operation to secure a common aim, and pre serve and enforce a common beiief. In war there there can be no triumph without organization. In politics it is equally essential. There must be a common object, an acknowledged authority, a harmonious policy and a united action. These are the indis pensible conditions of success ap proved by time and trial, and their violation will bring revenge iu sure overthrow. Locking back over the turbulent yp.ars.sine.fi 1861. to their stormy eon; liicts, to their disappointments and humiliations, tha conscientious champions of Democratic principles find cause for congratulation in their heroic adhesion to duty, and in the full reward of victory which it has brought to them. We saw then the upheaval of all society. We saw states raped of their sovereignty. We saw the caprice of conquest made the law of general government. We saw the soldier become the arbiter of private rights, the custodian of pri vate liberty, the judge of private property. Worse even than these, we saw a party in power, seemingly enthroned, that sought ;o make these odious and fatal practices the accep ted and permanent policy of national rule. The spirit of our free govern ment was to be forever subverted and destroyed, and the genius of liberty and law was to be supplanted by the demon of force and tyranny. In re sistance to all this wicked intent, in undismayed battle with the heresy of an arbitary centralism, the Demo-' cratic party did its grandest work. Vainly it fought for years. It suffer ed repeated, defeat. It was derided and overwhelmed, but vanquished or silenced, never. Sturdily by the assailed cause of constitutional gov ernment, if stood like a stone wall On every battle ground, its forces were rallied, and its blow was struck. It resisted force and fraud, misrule, menance and temptation. Its cour age grew, nd abated not It won, at last, small victories, and then lar ger ones. If red itme 1 predicts, counties, cities, States One after another, it took citadel and strong hold of Republicanism. It carried its victorious standard into the Speaker’s chair, it but awaits in as sailed victory the forms of the Sen ate’s capitulation. It elected tlie President, but it lost the prize by the superior genius of Radicalism for fraud. In the e hard won and long delayed triumph?, it restored Pw, and order and peace. To the con duct of public affairs, it brought new virtue, to official corruption it brought an end. For public extravagance, it substituted economy, it quickened the dormant sentiment of private patriotism, it restored to life and vig or the spirit of constitutional law and liberty. But its mission is not yet fulfilled. It has a President to seat before it can wholly impress its pol'cy upon the government and make the next chapter iu the history of- he country. What has not the democratic par ty done for our beloved State? Its beneficent work is all to fresh to need recount. Consider it but a moment, and let the pleasing reflection as semble its members in solid pholanx around its standards on every field of cocfi ct. Fellow-citizens of the Democratic party, the finxl cbnsmumation of tri umph for our individual and collec tive good can be accomplished only by the same united ac’i m wh : ch has brought us our past successes. What we have gained can only be preserv ed to us iu this way. If Democratic principles are to be maintained, we must preserve our organization. We cannot disband our forces and con tinue to conquer. We can achieve no further victory if division come to us. If wo break ranks, we can win no battle. W e cannot preserve our party by disintegrating it. V. e see in Georgia, in several con gressional districts, aspirants, claim ing to be Democrats, running out side of the party nominees. These aspirants make stout profession of their party fealty, and yet their hope of success rests upon the solid vote of the opposition, the radical party. From such source comes their suc coring strength. If their profession of political faith be true, it must be seen that a successful candidacy upon such basis makes the oppositiWtbe balance of power between contending Democrats, humiliates our partv, and, by subjecting it to defeat, makes toe result a substantial opposition victory. Will voting Democrats aid in putting their party to shame ? We intreat you not to do so. Let there be no self-delusion in this im portant matter. Let no man mis lead you, or deceive you by specious pretext. The path of duty and in isreob is plam to ail who will calmly’ consider. Let Democrats refuse to j|ive their countenance and support to independent candidates, aud the danger which threatens the party shall disappear at once. They have no claims upon you, they carry not the party standards, they seek not to advance the party interest, or pro mote the public good. They but Seek to gratify their own personal ambition and love of office. No ex isting party abuse invite their reform ing hands. For selfish purpose they make profession. Their success will bring benefit to none but them selves and the party hostile to us. . Let them ran if they will, but not under false colors. The Democratic party can but disoute their claim to represent it. It can find no pleasure it can feel no sense of friendship, in that success which wounds and en feebles it, and arrests its conquering advance. Speaking affectionately and earnestly for that grand party, venerable iu patriotic service and ra diant with its regained strength and honors, we appeal to every member of it iu Georgia to stand inilex bly by its organization, and follow to joyous and benign victory the men who hold its commissions, and bear to battle its accredited standards. “Ooce more unto tlie breach, dear friends, once more.” J.

This remarkable volcano, which is now in a state of eruption, stands on the east shore of th 9 Bay of Naples, and about ten miles from the city. IF-Haruls alone on the Plain of Oom pania upon a base of about thirty miles in circumference. In its up per portion it divides into two peaks, one of which, called tha Somma at tains the height of 3,747 feet above the sea; and the other, known as Vesuvius, reaches an elevation of 3,949 feet, but varies both in the height and shape in consequence of the eruptions of the volcano. Vesuvius is often mentioned by an cient Roman writers without allusion to its volcanic character. The first recorded eruption occurred in Au gust, A. D. ’79 and it was during this that the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were buried be neath the aohes. The materials ejec ted from the mountain were scoriie and ashes alone, tha quantities of which exceeded its own bulk; and in tha occasional eruptions whie t succeeded, these were the only vol canic products until the year 1066, when the first flow of lava occurred. The total number of its great erup tions, down to the present time, ha3 been about sixty, and some of them have been remarkable for the vast movements taking place iu a short time. Between the years 130 G and IGSI no eruption occurred, except a slight one in 1500. But throughout this period Etna was in a state of unusual activity, and this, perhaps, gave vent to elastic vapors, and lava that would otherwise have found a passage through the cra ers of Vesu vius. The eruption in IG3I was accom panied with great currents of lava,- which flowed over most of the villa ges at the base of the mountain, aud at the same time torrents of boiling water were sent forth. The eruption of 1779 is described as among the grandest and most terrible of these phenomena. White sulphurous smoke, like heaps of cotton, rose up four times as high as the volcano, and spread about to a proportional extent. In June, 1794, occurred a terrible eruption, which destroyed the town of Torre del Greco. A sin gle stream of lava was estimated by Breilak as containing more than 4G,- 000,000 cubic feet. Tne eruption in 1822 broke up the whole top of the mountain and formed an elliptical chasm about three miles in circum ference and supposed to be 2,000 feet deep. In May, 1855, the floods of lava destroye i the village of Cer colo. An eruption of great violence oc curred iu December, 1861. Tne dis turbance commenced oa Sunday morning, the Bth, in tremblings of the ground. In the afternoon a large opening was made in the ground a iittle above Torre del Greco, about half way up the mountain, which was soon followed by others, from all of which proceeded terrific explo sions and jets of flame. Streams of lava poured forth, and on the morn ing of the 9th wire flowing in a cur rent half a mile broad. The explo sions, like the sound of heavy artil lery, continued till toward evening, and at night were succeeded by tie most brilliant display of electric lights, forked lightning and co umns of fire and smoke continually rising from* the crater. The convulsions continued for several days, and even up to January 1, 1862 the trembling of the earth had not ceased. I News in General.
