THREE BALLOT BOXES IN' TOWNS
We perceive that o<>v. DnlLi'k has is
sued an order direct >- tL.it, in addition
lo the usual ballot box at each election
precinct within each county, there shall
be at the county site, three ballot boxes
used, and three boards ot Superintendents
of election organized, "to the end ihut
nil duty qualified voters may have an
opportunity to vote.’' Each board are
required to make separate returns.
Tho attention ol the Ordinary of
Brooks is called to this matter, aid we
suggest that it in time tie was organiz
ing Boards of Superintendents through
out the county.

Perhaps some people don’t know it, —
therefore wo remind them that on the

States. The election will last tor one
day only. Pells arc authorized to he !

of the State: it is possible however, that
in some of the counties polls will only j

Radicalism.
The Northern Klectiorts.
The unexpected result ol tin elections,
held on the 13tli, in the States of Penn
sylvaniu, Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska,
i must lie conclusive to <>-. . • rv fleeting’
j mind South, that the old tqiiiit of uni
! mosity, engendered by political oj.ci'..-
rnent, war and b| ~*ds!n-d, still retains a 1
firm hold upon the hearts of the people ;
■north. The grout national issues dis
trading (lie country, and so deeply in
volving the future happiness and pros- i
perity ot the p-.-.ple i.f the late M-ccb-d
.Slates, were fairly and squarely stated,
argued, and made plain to the dullest
apprehension ; it was demonstrated be
yond tho possibility of cavil, that if tin- -
usurpations and unconstitutional enact
merits of Congress, s ! odd receive the
endorsement ol the American people,
constil ulional liberty could not survive,
and ibis land'would remain a “republic”;
only in name. No local or side issues
| w. re brought to bear to influence voters
—the fight was a fair, square, bold aid
fierce one—and the n suit is : The- people
of those Slates have distinctly declared j
that, rather than do justice to an ontrag- j
cd and oppressed people —rather limn re
store to Hie South her rights under the |
I Constitution of our fathers, they prefer j
to throttle liberty, bankrupt the govern
ment, convert America into an oligarchy,
and continue her National Capital the ,
rendezvous of convicted liars,'perjurers,
thieves and prostitutes. This is the an-
swer the once proud States of Rennsyl
vaiiin, Ohio ami Indiana make to the ur
gent and persistent appeals of the South,
to he relieved from the brutal and cow
ardly rule, authorized and enforced by a
degraded and infamous Congress of vil
lains, falsely, as we were led to hope,
claiming to be Hie representatives of the
principles and desires of tho Northern
masses. This is the answer, given thro*
the ballot box, to the noble and true
hearted patriot statesmen of the land,
vvlio have so earnestly’ and zealously’
pleaded fur the restoration and prosei va
tion of constitutional liberty.
Well, wo liavo been disappointed—
sorely disappointed, in this verdict of the
people ; but,, “what’s done can’t be help
ed.” Wo have endured Radical rule for
several years, and witnessed the wise
government of the fathers approach the
precipice of destruction and we sup
pose, if it is lho will of tho nation, we
caii tolerate the same government for
four years 1 mger, and, undismayed, be
hold every barrier established by the
Constitution, cut down, and the once in
fluential i. -'l'lic of tho West take its
place among the Monarchies of Christen
dom. But, like the immortal Webster,
who prayed that when his eyes shou'd
behold the sun in the heavens fm- tbo lost |
time, that its ruy» afboutd not be reflect !
ed upon the broken and dishonored frag-1
meats of a once glorious Union, —from j
the inmost recesses of our heart, we!
shriek forth a fervent prater to ILo Great!
Jehovah, that we may never ho pern,K-i
ted lo behold that same sun shining- up
on a i.a?o op slaves ! — that Truth, Jus- j
lice and Liberty may again usurp their |
sway—that Wisdom and Moderation will!
possess tho hearts of our rulers—that 1
the pristine days of (he republic may re j
turn that her citizens may once more!
ho prosperous, contented, happy -and
every nation under the sun love to do j
honor to the Land of Washington !

Let not our people despair on account
of the almost crushing disaster experi
enced in I’cunsylvuniu and Ohio. Brave
men become mere determined jn the face
of danger. Remember that “the. is
many a slip ’twixt the eop and lip.” Nad
iealism, inflated andjiibilant over suc
cess in October, may’ groan in agony
over defeat in November. Remember
i (hat the issue is a mighty one, and that
I although sure defeat may stare us in the
face it is no less the’duty of patriots to
struggle desperately, till the last hour,
with the hydra headed monster that
would enslave America, proclaim the
heroism of Washington treason, and
make liberty odious ! Remember, that if
Democracy fails, constitutional liberty’
perishes, and a centralized government
is established 1 Work, work until the
last hour, and then if our banners trail
with defeat and tho black flag of tbe op
position triumphs—we can say to the
murders of the Republic, “shake not thy
gory locks at me, thou ear.’st not say 1
did it 1”
j Although the National Democracy may
I not be successful, >us see to it, that i;
; was uot through a.y lack of < nergy and
i determined p. rscv ctcnee on the part of

Living Issue- t s. Dead * -t:
While one party of the Lnion stands
j upon a platform in which are involved
, Hie dead issues of the past, and are in
| testing tho air with their poisonous mn-
Inria, the other stands upon a platform
I composed of the livii g issues of the
present.
! While the republican party is looking
j retrospectively for qiiestiin.s and ir-m e,
that are now considered dead, upou which
!to fight its battles and maintain its su
prcinacy, the democratic party is seek
ing a foundation from the issues of to
day upon which to rebuild the shattered
columns af oinjfonner greatness, and on
which to found the institutions of a free
republican government.
The interests of our people and the
welfare and stability ; our union are in
nowise involved in or dependent upon
those issues which have long since been
considered and recognized; as having
been settled by the power and will of the
sword.
The issues of this campaign arc of
vital importance to every citizen ot our
land. They are not advocated for the
purpose of healing tho wounds and im
pairing the injuries of past political con
tests hut for the purpose of establishing
and maintaining the stability of our re
publican government. For while uni
versal bankruptcy is threatening to over
whelm us and our nation is staggering
under its load of financial and commer
cial burdens and perplexities, there is
underlying these au evil of a far more
serious character—one of grave import—
one that if perpetuated will upturn our
whole social system P<»- »-<-< eWe free
tn>ni dent to vfay—were we tho most
prosperous nation on the earth, coiunwi
cially, the terrible doom which is threat
ening our social system should it visit us
would hurl us to perdition and engulf ns
in everlasting gloom and despair.
One of the living issues of to-day is
whether or not. this "is" to he an eniigh
lened while man’s republic, or a beastly
and ignorant negro despotism ; Ibis i
one of the issues which will settle the
question: Whether this country’, which
for eighty years has withstood and over
come all the throes of national turmoil
and convulsions, is still to rise and in—
j crease in glory and splendor, or whether
i its time-honored institutions are to he
| trampled beneath the unhallowed feet
of an ignorant negro race, sustained by
a domineering few an I used as a ureie h
i stnmient to raise supplic: by which they
j will be enabled to gorge their own vc-
Imality.
j The dark cloud which is now hang
ing- over the do.- tinies of our country,
:it ml (ho radical legislation v\' has
| found its way into every branch ‘ >,isi
ness throughout our land should, be a :
• warning to every patriot should quicken
I his energies and strengthen iris nerves to
! a full do termination to avert the inipen
j ding crisis by ignoring the dead issues
| of the past; by meeting their foes upon
the living issues ot th- .resent and to
achieve the victori. s supported ami
backed by u« constitution of their
union.
‘’Sell Votu Cotton.’’
So says the » xperioneed and venerable
editor of the Miliedgviile Jieeorder. lie
has for many years been a close obser
ver of the lb,, .nation* of the cotton mar
ket and is wed prepared to give sound
advice : lie says :
“We would advise our firming friends
to sell their cotton at H present, ruling
prices 23, 24, 25- n’t hold with the
ex; :at ion that you can get 30 cents

Mr. Editor:—Wo had the pleasure of]
being present and witnessing tlieinau
guration of tin: “Thomas County Agri
j cultural Fair ” It was gotten up on:
short noth--, and its friends only thought
•to make a beginning'. Thu articles
therefore, though very good, were not
numerous.
j The stock-yard (embracing only hor
; sen) was not well represented. In the
' Mechanical Department In-vili Delete had
i on exhibit a fine planla*mti wagon ; Stu
; art of iiainhridgc a stipe! b buggy; plows
harrows, etc., were aisotuought in. Maj. :
i Hardaway showed ns samples of corn,
I out of a production of 175 j bushels to'
, 4i acres; also from various parties sam- ,
[lies of wheat, rice, oats, sugar caee,
I peas, potatoes and cotton—all ol which
I were very line.

Celestial Empire; the Blank Spanish, a
beautiful bird from the Kingdom just
now in the rebellion; the English Dork

dedly the best for table service.
In the Ladies Department there was
on exhibition some extra tine wax work
in fruits and flowers, from Mrs. Ilarmon,
some needle work, displaying fine skill,
from Mrs. tichifT and Stuart ; from the
hands of an aged lady of Ofi years, (Mrs.
Cawley) two or three very finely woven
counterpanes; shawls, coats, quilts, etc..
came in for a showing. Some extra
wiuejrnade from the Scnpornotig, by Mrs.
Davis ; a fine wedding cuke by l’ardee,
of Valdosta.
We were happily entertained by

Col. Mclntyre led nil' with a statement
of Georgia’s hisses from the war, and
contended that there was a way to re
gain it if we could find it : wo had come
together to talk over, counsel advise, im
prove systemaize. and make anew start |
and rise to a noble destiny. We were:
making failures;haphazard plans won’t

speedily and effectively done by combi

w„y of suggestion, that there are four

should form a South Georgia Agricullu

lovely South Georgia.
AGRICOLA. !
The (Ty is: Siiii titey Conte!
If Judge C’abnnntss, Chairman Dent.
Ex. Com. of Georgia, was a military of
ficer, we would not be under his auditori
ly for the world ; for he would worry
our patience with “military orders,” as ;
lie is now doing the Demoertley with cir
culars. Every few days be feels calhd
upon to issue a pronuuciarncnto-and tin y
have become so common, the people wont
read them. Ilia last is a denial that the
Democracy of this ,Slate desire to re en
slave the freedman and deprive him oi
the ballot. W hy, Judge, you must be
an “old fogy”—everybody knew that the j
U. S. and State constitutions both made
the vo-euih'aveuiei.t of colored men an
impossibility. No sense in issuing a
grave circular, it.forming the pe -plo of
I that which they ah- tidy knew.
Stand Firm!
The Now York World and a few other
! journals of lesser light, ate urging the
j withdrawal of Seymour and Blair as the ■
| standtud bearers of the Democracy, and
' subs iliition of other men. We certain-'
ly object to any change, for if we cannot
triumph over the hetl-hounds with as ■
pure a man as Seymour, we could imt l
even though an angel from Heaven were t
perched upon our banner. If Seymour I
and the pure and national principles of,
Democracy are defeated, it will be an;
evidence that the nation is rotten, reek-:
ing, reeling with corruption.
Let us fight the battle out with Sey
mour, and ii political suicide awaits the
republic, the resposibility will be with
the opposition.

Joseph K. Brown a Prophet.
[From the Sumter io-puhld-.u ]
: In his special message of the Bth N>
; vember, lsfiO, House Journal, page 47,
I Governo,- Brown utters the following re
| markahle prophecy :
i “So soon as the Government shall have
passed into Black Republican hands, a
j portion of our citizens must if possible,
I lie bribed into treachery to their own
| section by tli : allurements of office ; or
jit hungry swarm of abolition emissaries
! must be imported among us as office
■ holders to cat our substance insult us
; with their arrogance corrupt our r! tves
and engender discontent among them ;
i while they flood the country with infiam
-1 mntory abolition documents; and do all
|in their power to create in the .South a
| state of things which must ultimately
: terminate in war of extermination be-;
j tween the white and black races.”
’ With a slight mistake of anticipating
1 this state o! affairs attendant to instead
of after emancipation, the prediction wiil
rank with the best ever uttered by tin
inspired lips. The bribery of “some of
our citizens” has been “poesible” and is
au fait accompli, and the efforts arc go
ing on to create the "state of thing's”
which wiil terminate in the “war of x
termination" there mentioned. But woo
would have supposed ?—what other
prophet would have foretold that fore
most in the clan of those who were thus
bribed “by the allurements of office,’’ and
against whom (in the sentence next af
ter that just quoted) he makes so carn
j est an appeal—who would have suppos
ed that foremost among these political]
! vampires would stand the then trusted
j and beloved Governor of Georgia ? He
; was writing his own sentence of coudetu
' nation—the preamble to his social and
: political obituary. It is mournful to
| read the record he lias made, and whose
j words (like lit* blood of murdered Abel)
! cry to heaven against iiiru, and then con
] template the fallen wretched wreck which
still survives ti ose manly utterances.
! Lucifer, when expcll *d from H< even still
