elect ion. We have reeeived up to the hoar of
going to press, the official returns of eeventr,
four counties, the summery ol which gives Uul

from eixiy-ene erautiee, a number ot wuich

in many of the conntiea, the race will bo olose
We greatly fear that for the like of interest
manifested cr. the part of our oitiieua in this
nil important issue, that tho result wi'l be
■.gainst us, when it ia not at all the voice ot
tho people. Therefore the many rstub.ished
facts of fraud that was oommittod in the differ

for an investigation without further delay.

We copy the following letter
from the Augusta Republican of
the 24th inst., not from the impor
tance cucouebcd in it, but that the
citizens of Greene county may
know the contempt that ‘'Obser
ver’’ has for them:
Grccncshoro’, Ga., April 23. ’6S.
Ed. Republican—Dear bir:—The
election passed off quietly yester
day, and is progressing slowly, but
quietly to day. The mixed Democ
racy and Rob Crumlj men are
down in tho mouth, tooted off the
hounds and quit tho chase, and give
vent to their passions by letting off
their fury and denunciations
against the damn niggers, scala
wags, and carpet baggers general l *
ly, |and pronouncing anathemas
against me in particular. But J
pass it all unnoticed, resolved to
do my duty fearlessly though the
heavens fall.”
Brave indeed!— "resolved to do
do his duly though the heavens
fall,’’—Abe Colby is right along
side of ‘'Observer’ - ' doing his duty
too. But he goes on:
‘‘lf those who proscribe me could
take the hint, and understand the
profound contempt that I have for
them, they would content them
selves by thinking more, and keep*
iDg their fly traps closed. How
ever, wo arc all right in old Green.

• nine-tenths of this angry, rebell

OBSERVER.”
Now we know but little about
‘‘Observers ’ prophecy, but as to
his bull-dog bravery, from his ca
reer in the lato war, hie bravery
will compare very favorably with
that ot Fallstaff's.
fsgP'Wc copy below a synopsis
of a letter, winch lias been for
warded to Gcu. .Meade, bearing
■date of the 23rd iontaut, from
Union Point. We refrain from
giving the name of the writer, as
ave make the extract without his
permission;
Maj. Gen. Meade, Coin'd’g, At*
lanta:
Dear Sir:—Tuesday last, I wai
standing near the door of the
Court llouse in Grceuesboro’, wait
ing to deposit my ballot, and wit
nessed the following, which, in my
•opihion, is a violation to your Or
ders relative to the electiou which
has just closed.
I saw a colored man who had
procured a Democratic ticket, pre
.■sent the same to the man who re
ceived ballots tq deposit them in
tiie ballot box; and oue of the
candidates for the Legislature who
‘beliemi the ballot was against
him, took the ticket out of the
black man’s hand and threw it on
the floor, and called to his brother
who was manager of the election
for a different ticket: the ticket was pro
cured that the candidate desired, made
sonic changes of the names on the ticket
(telling the black man what kind of ticket
to vote, and then handedtho ballot and da
posited it in the ballot box.
This, with various other frauds which has
been reported lo me, and which no doubt
can be substantiated, convinces me that the
result ol the election is by no means the
result oi the voice of the people in Greene
county had the election been conducted le
gally. 1 am very respectfully

THE GREENS.Bu.iv~
j «*«•«« on Ilia Surrender
of Urn. Kolil. li. Lee.
The ircmorab'c 9th of May, ’65,
hud dawned; a pcrfocl calm was
on the earth. Naiuro seemed to
bo in sympathy for the brave, who
had so long fought for a cause now
lost. The spirits of the immortal
• laiu past in solemn array before
the disponding soldiers. The mor
tification of retiring from the field
of glory, and giving up the proud
name which they had emblemed on
the battle flag, rent their hoarts
with sorrow. Many there encamp
ed upon the time-worn'hills had
witnessed the burial of many
friends and comrades, but never be
fore witnessed the funeral proces
sion of tho cause of Liberty, but
no other alternative but to surren
der like men. Yet the glory of
their armes wreathed t.ieir brows
with honor and inscribed their
names upon the blight scroll of
fame. If the angels of heaven
was ever moved with tears of sym
pathy for the brave, this was the
Jiour-—when the battle-scared he
roes stacked their armos and in si
lence furled their flag and bid
adieu in tears of sorrow to its tor
tured and blood-stained folds for
ever. When not a single ray of
light was seen to paint the Souths
orn sky with hope, there stood at
Apponiatox C. H. the army of
Northern Virginia grand even in
the hour of its humiliation and
surrender. What a picture to be
painted upon the canvass of time
to excite the wonder of future
ages. Fee, there stood the rem
nant of that once glorious army
that had dipped its conquering
banners in the crimson tide of 30
and lour battles, and strewn its
heroic slain from the valley of
Gettysburg to the gates of its own
Capital city. That had given
Manassas to Beauregard and ens
twined in the laural wreath of
Johnson the fame of Seven Pines
—that had caused the waters cf
tho Shenandoah eternally/to mur*.
mill* tlui {arao of Stowo Wall j<y>t* -l
eon- XrvA ulreXckievl out its vight
arm to tne tar west and assisted in
planting a victory on the droop'ng
flag of Bragg, that had witnessed
four gigantic campaigns and under
all difficulties and trials, had re
mained true to tho last hour. Now
behold a spectacle ever to be re
gretted by coming ages—declining
in its splendor—going down in the
gloom of eternal night. He its
illustrious chief, whoso lofty plume
was ever its rallying point in time
of battle; he around whom its af
fections warmly clustered, now
commended it for its first devo
tions, And bid it adieu forever.,—
Few were the eyes that grew not
moist when takon a long last look
at tlteir beloved chieftain. It was
the agony ol a lost cause, finding
expression in the sublime soul of
its great defender, And though
the cause be dead yet will its mem
ory continue to live. The names
of Bonaparte, Hannibal and Alex
andria the great, will fail to dazzle
the world with their military
splendor, when brought in con
trast with the Christian heroes of
the South. Ever honored will be
the illustrious - names of thoso who
bowed to the Southern cross.—
Their names are immortal, and
as long as the fame of the FoutL
cru struggle shall linger in tradi
tion and song, will their memories
be cherished by descendants of the
Southern race. While their char
actors will stand up in the twilight
of history like the grand old ca
thedral, lifting themselves with
unspcakablo beauty above objects
of earth, majestic in their vast
proportions, awful in their solem
nity, still sublime in'their simplicri
ty-
The present may not bo eternal
ly the destiny of the South; but,
i thank Heaven no tyrant or rule of
Radical majority can ever enter
the vestibule of our hearts and
pluck from them the memories of
•those who perished for our native,
land. The heart ol every Southern
i soldier wilj be a temple dedicated
!to the God of battles and to the
deeds of the brave until time shall
dull the prejudices and the passions
of the hour,

'about 14,000 men. The first 300

were covered with boards and
boughs, and from that number to
12,849, the bodies were buried ,
shoulder to shoulder in trenchcß!
about three feet deep and six feet j
wide. About 1,000 bodies have
'been brought, here from Macon,

women were discovered among the

A Conscientious Widow.—A
poor man on his death-bed, made
his will. He called his wife to him,
and told her of the provisions he
|»ad made.
“I have left,’’ said he, “my horse
to my parents; sell it and hand
over the money you receive. 1
leave you my dog; take good care
of him. and he will serve you faith
fully.”
The wife promised to obey, and
in due time set out for the neighs
v 2f*’ r ' ,r> K market, with the horse arut
the dog.
“How much do you want for
“I cannot sell the horse alone,
but you may have both at a rcr
soijable rate. Give me a hundred
dollars for the dog and one dollar
lor the horse,’’
The farmer laughed, but as the
terms were low. ho willingly ac
cepted them. Then the worthy
woman gave the husband’s parents
the dollar received for the horse
and kept the hundred dollars her
self.
Right shrewd widow, that.
