We were pleaded to meet in our pane- 1

Orff, Watkins O. Vo Tjsrgo Sales.
Wo arc delighted to learn from the
Savannah Morning News, that onr old
friends nttd staunch supporters of the
Banner, Messrs. Onrr, Watkins A Cos., ol
the "Southern Fulace Dry Goods House,”
nr<>, ns usual, doing n prosperous busi
ness. Their sales for the mouth of Octo
her were enormous, ii« will he seen from
(lie following item, which wo find in the
News :
Larue Faixk.—Some of the papcrtjhi
other cities lmvo been ptthlishing Jtlie
gross sales of their business houses, we
think*,Savannah can show .as good re
turns as any of them One dry gpnds
house of this city, Messis. OrlT. Watkins
A Cos, w’hose advertisement will he found
elsewhere, made a return for the month
of October, for sales to the amount of j
$45,W9.(10.
The house is certainly deserving of
mteh extraordinary success, for, aside
from the fact that the proprietors are
lionorah'e, correct and courteous gentle ;
men, possessed of splendid business quit'-;
ificatums and liberal ideas, they always
keep supplied with ittiinense stocks of
the very host tpialitv, and sell at extra
ordinary low prices.
Notwithstanding the heavy sales made
dull eg the month of October by fr ends i
0., W. & 00,, they can materially in- j
eienso the same, by forwarding to the
BinNfr that splendid two column notice:
published in the News.
A Cs nipnSfrn Incident
We liegleettd last week to chrohiclo
the fact, that a few days previous to the
( lection, the representat tve of the "troo
1y Toil”of this District in Congress, paid
Qnftman a visit, and made one of 1 is n
dicnlous speeches in I lie Court house.
We would not refer to the matter now,
1 r,t for the sake of recording an incident.
Clift had got through with his talk, and
(’apt. Turner was making a masterly
reply in behalf of the Democracy ; lie
was ufiout half through, when a ’/.eahiTis
Fey it our man, sitting in ratlier close
proximity to the “carpet bagger,” and
who never objects to a "little fun,” lean
ed over towards Clift, and with a peer
liar smile, remarked: "I say--ain’t he
giving yon the d—- 1 ! Don’t you feel
had ? lie ain’t half through with you
yet !”
We can't sav whether Clift "fold had,”
hut will vouch for the fact, that. Turner
gave him and his party the "and 1 ’ ;
and tiie people of Brooks, white and Mack
ratified it on the Tuesday following.
Politics 35ied Out
Since the late election nil talk about
politics, in our town, has completely died
out, witli the exception of an occasional
exclamation: “Tlumk God ! Georgia is
nil right 1” Onr ivo.i'o aro now ready
to accept the si'Ufttion, and they calmly
await development s. Business, incon
sequence of the uncertainties of the fn
tore and scarcity of money, is extremely
dull, nn/t onr mere! ants, mechanics and
laborers are barely realizing a subsis
tence. W e are of the opinion, how« ver,
tics state of tilings will not continue
long • for our planters will soon throw
their cotton upon the market, and money
will then be placed in escalation, to tr
vivo the spirits of the despnndii g and
cheer the hearts of those who wage f. ar
tu 1 battle with the world to keep gaunt
hunger from their doors.

They Lave fully demonstruled tlitif they

For many years Florida labored under
the delusion, that a connection by rail-,
way with Georgia, would materially!
cripple her own pr< r parity. It was the I
■ policy of onr neighbor to build up a great ,
commercial mart at Fernaiidins or Jack
isonvi le ; nod -t tew of her distinguished
citizens even expressed the b, iief, that
, the great Atlantic city at the month td
the Ft. Johns or on Amelia Island, fin
imagination,) would eventually draw off 1
the commctce and destroy ().<• ' Fnm-st
i t.'ity” of Gi l rgia. The capital and intel
lect of Savannah, however, headed by |
; th<‘ indefal'gable Major Ft ia vt V, treated
i as vagaries the fiifatnnlion of FI. ridians,
and zealously persisted in urging a con-'
' neclinn of the Atlantic and Gulf with |
(he I’ensacola and Georgia railroad, lie
: eompt'cliendcd fully the vast importance j
j of such a connection, to both Staten, and j
I never flagged in his (Boris until the imp-!
t inis were consummated.
The results are already partially dem- 1
jonsfrated: the Florida roads a:e now
doing a profitable business—-they are
. properly equipped—and their stock in j
haiiccd in value ; whilst the Atlantic and !
Gulf road, (always prosperous,) ban
vastly increased its business ; in addi
tion to regular freight trains, the Super
intendent has been compeied to run two
passenger trains daily, to accommodate
1 1 lie traveling public. Travelers now
pass from .Savannah to Jacksonville, a
distance of two hundred and sixty eight
miles, in twelve hours and a half, and
without a change of cars—the fastest
time made on any road in Georgia or
Florida.
Its results, however, are not only visi
ble in Die enhanced value of the stock
and prosperity of the roads, but every
interest of both States sensibly feel the
great advantages accruing—commercial
ly, socially, in the increased value of real
estate, and general prosperity among the
people.
These great results and vast advan
tages, we say, have been brought about
by the stubborn persistence and enter
prising mind of the President of the At
lantic and Gulf Railroad, Major John
Sciikvkn ; and to Col. 11. S. ILunes, the
efficient General Superintendent, is due
the credit of systematizing, pressing for
ward, and in every way advancing the
railway interests of the two States. To
them are the people—Die property hold -
ers— due a debt of gratitude, that will
require years to repay.
A Hadieal Governor Impeached.
The Radical Legislature of Florida, j
which convened On the 3d and cast the I
vote of the State for Grant, electors, it j
appears have become disgusted with j
their "carpet hog” Governor, Harrison j
Reed, for on the Oth articles of impeach-!
ment charging him with high crimes and
misdemeanors, were introduced and ad
opted by a three fourths vote. It is
said that Gov. Reed will contest the mat j
ter as ho contends that Die Legislature is |
not a legal body. If this is true, then!
ti e vote of the Slate lias been illegally
east for Gen. Grant. Reed, it seems, is
! 100 great a rascal for even Die mean aid
' contemptible scum composing Die I.egis
j lature of our sister State. We have no
interest in the tight, however, but are
' curious to hoar developments, for "when
rogues fall out,” honest people prosper.
After - tl o articles of impeachment '
; were adopted, Lieutenant Governor Glea
son issued Ids proclamation, declaring
himself the rightful Executive, and an
thorizing the people] to disregard all or
dors em ulating from Reed. lie also
j made a demand at the Executive office
: for undisputed possession ; but was not i
only refused, but an order issued for the
: arrest of (Densor. aid the Secretary of
State, (who sided with the Lieut. Gov.),,
charging them with conspiracy against
ike government. They were according
ly placed under arrest.
Gov. Reed has referred Die whole mat
ter to the Courts, and declares that he
will abide a legal decision. Great ex
eitemcnf prevails in Tallahassee.
The following are the articles of im- ;
pcnchment, which were adopted by the .
Legislature :
First. lie has been guilty of falsehood
and tying, while’ transacting business
with members i t the Legislature and oth
or office rs of the Plate.
- Second. 1 charge him with incompeten
ev, inasmuch as he has filled commis
sions to officers in blank and oilier irres
ponsible persons having issued them.
Third, lie has issued a proclamation
declaring many seats of the Legislature
vacant before the im mbers duly elected
and returned had resigned er their legal
term of s rviec expired
Fourth lie has been guilty of embez
zlement, having t ikon from the State
Treasury securities and money and sold
s . h securities and then failed to return
a i" rtiou or all of the .proceeds to the
Tr.-asuty.
Fifth, lie has lie. n guilty of corruption j
; and bribery he having bartered and sold
prominent • (Tices in the Stale to smith v
persons for money to liim in hand paid,
and nominating such pets ns to the Sen
ale for confirmation.

Messrs Roberts A Tiliman, the popn

Savannah, l ave rent lo the .\h ruing
News’ office, a specimen >f tins coltong
grown on the plantation of Robert S An

says it is of a dark cream color, resem- ;

ting witli it Diis year, but expects to
plant fr. rn twenty five to thirty acres
the coming season. It grows to great
perfection on our uplands and is a good |
bearer. We are infointed that Die arti -
cle will probably command fifty cents in ;
the market at this time, a price which i
should induce others to embark iu its)
cultivation. i

Ibe Character of Congress
The next U. S. Senate will have a more
decided majority of radicals than are in
the present ; but Die House of Repre
sentatives will be shorn of its power.,
It is estimated that the latter body will j
stand, Radicals, 138 —Democrats, 77—1
This will give the Radicals a majority of j
Cl ; hut upon a full vote they will lack .
six of a two-third majority, 144. Should
the extremists of the party, therefore, :
break with Gen. Grant, they will not |
have it in their power, as their predeces
sors had, to pass their partizuu nicas-j
ures over the veto.
Discovery of immense Gold Fields
in Africa.
The New York llcfaUl extracts from,
j the newspaper Hies of the Cape of Good
Hope, giving Die accounts of thodiseov
; erics of immense (fold Fields in f-oufh
Africa. These disc vc it s appear to |
have been made by the Rev. Mr. M.'Keti
; zie, a ‘ Scotch missionary, and Carl
Mattel), a scientific German explorer.”
i These gold fields, it is claimed, are "iden
! Deal with' Mpl.-ir, ’ of the Bible, and the !
localities from which Solomon, the Great
King of Israel, drew his immense sup
plies for adorning the great temple at
I Jerusalem. The extent of the territory
covered by gold fields is put and. wn tit
"from 22 deg. to beyond 29 deg. South
and from 23 deg. to beyond 33 deg- East
j comprising the whole of the Transvaal
! Republic, the larger portion of the Or
ange Free State, Basuta Territory, and
Natal, and they me represented as “sur
. passing- California and Australia.”
Herr Munch, the German savan, says :
; “the new gold fields surpass in richness.
; either the Californian or Australian'
fields, which fact would fully warrant
! the expressions used by him in a letter j
i to the Transvaal Argrn, dated December
3, 1867, when he stated that lie stood
as it were riveted to the spot nnd for!
. some time could not use his hammer,
1 when these vast fields of gold for the
first time broke on iiis sight.”

: DESTRUCTION OF STA TE' AR%$. •
A teh'gram f.o:n Tallahassee. Florida,
. on the Gth, informs ns that two thousand
st.ni.l of Stato arms and a quantity of
: ammunition in transit l>y railroad from
: Jack sonviUe t » Tallahassee, were seized
and destr yed by unknown parties on
j the previous evening-, near Madison.—-
Tlie arms were found broken and dis
tributed alone tbe track for several miles
They cost the State about $20,000. A
detachment of soldiers were dispatched
to the scene .4 the tobl'jerv.
D e presume Gov. Reid, who has re
cently returned from the North, procured.
these arms, for the purpose id' arming
Ills secret police, which he is authorized
bv legislative act to organize; and as it
is well known that said police will con
sist ofnegmes. perhaps lha whites deem
ed it an act of prudence to see that no
dangerous weapons were placed within .
their reach.
General Grant has not yet resigned his !
position at the head of the army, and it
is said he will continue to hold it until
he is inaugurated, ii ordc r that he may

EAST TENNESSEE.
The people of East Tennessee art: nmv
iog earnestly and sagaciously in tie
matter of developing their section by
immigrants. The Augusta Chronicle
says an Immigrant Association has been
formed at Greenville, who are now dis
tributing circulars in Scotland and Gee
many, and throughout the Northern
Slates, descriptive of the soil, climate!
and productions, with statistics as to
mineral resources, the price of land and
manufacturing resoUrccM, Ac. Already
a sale ol 40,000 acr -s of land Ims been
made to two hundred anil fifty Swits
families who are now en route for their !
new homes. The mountain country of;
east Tennessee is beautiful—the valleys 1
are fertile and the scenery is charming, i
it is to (bis country, when developel, ;
that we must look fur our farm products
—our wheat, corn, oats, beef, mutton, 1
pork, batter, cheese, apples, &e., and
we lake pleasure in chronicling this Step:
towards its further development.
V k learn through an exchange that
the remnant ol Seminole Indians remain
ing in Florida, are disposed to be over -
friendly to the white people. They say
that they wish to remain in Florida, but
that it lias become so sickly in the Rig
Cypress, where they are now living, that
they can live tie re no longer, and num
bers of them will, in a short time, leave
the Cypress and go to Lake Okeechobee,
where they will have better health and
good laud to cultivate. They say, “good |
land t-ii Okeechobee—raise corn, cane
and potatoes there, plenty.”
II .nr.intr. Outrace— snuunr Persist!-
msxt. —On Tuesday the 3d hist, a most
horrible crime was committed near ,
Swab.shorn* Emanuel county by a negro
named Fierce Holding, upon the p rs -n
of Miss Wi . ass, a young lady of fifteen
years, and the daughter of a respected
; citizen of that county. It appears that
she was on her way to school in the vii -
* iage when the n -gro rushed from the
: roadside, knocked Hoi senseless and ac
complished his purpose ; she was found
lying insensible by a passer by and car
ried home, and on recovering related
what had occurred The officers of the
i law and others started in pursuit of the
! scoundrel and overhauled him near Sum
mervillo in the same county, from whence
lie was carried to jail when lie confessed
having comm’tted the deed. The same
night a body es aimed men proceeded to
i the jail, took him out and hung him.'
Previous to his execution he staled that
I he and several other negroes had formed
' a plan on that day to violate the persons
;of several young ladies who attended!
school in the village, but the others over
slept themselves and lie started out a- ;
lone and Miss W. was the first one lie
• met. There is one rascal less in the i

GRANTS ADMINISTRATION.
A Washington special of the 4rli inst ,
to the Louisville Courier, says:
The election and political prnbabili.
lies resulting therefrom, is mainly di s .
cussed today. Radicals of course are
in a high state of .jubilation. Singular
iyenmgh Democrats are not greatly
downcast. The latter profess the Impt*..
fnlnesa that Grant’s administration will
prove conservative in cha-**act'-r, and as
so.-h di-qi'easing to the intense Radicals.
(It is held by them and n'su modi late
! Rc-publicao3 that Grant will not acqui
esce in the abominable doctrines of.Suin
nyr k C0. ,0n(l out of tills disposition
good restdts will come.
Referring to the disposition of D, mo
! crats to console themselves with this
I thought, the Star (Republican) says:
\Vc apprebund there is more solid foun
dation lor this philosophy-on the part of
(lie minority than most Republicans
