sandersville, Ga., Dee. 21,1870.
To Our Patrons.—During the thrtfi

Georgia, and then call and settle for
ihe Georgian.

' The Election.—Before we go to
press, the election for members of the
General Assembly of Georgia will have
commenced. We wish to say one word
to the white people of the county—let
nothing prevent your voting. If you
would redem your fctite from misrule
and-from the hands of those, who have
already bankrupted it,—if you would
see the laws of the land enforced, crimes
punished, and the peaco of society pre
served, he sui e to vote—he is no friend
to his race or to society who stands back
at this election— come to the polls tnen,
be sure to ,come !
j'To our colored citizens, also we would
say, vote with us— vote our ticket—it
is your interest to do, so, vote our tick
et, and thus help US’ to‘ elect men who
will defend your rights, as well as ours!
The Subjoined iuMri{iis&,t by tbe 1 ele
graj-h and Messenger to the People ot
Bibb is as applicable to the people ol
Washington. Read it dear friends
and govern your conduct by it, your
political destiny is now measurably in
yourown hands, you may by your vot. s
redeem the S'ate from anarchy and mis
rule, your opponents, hungry for pub
be, plunder are well orgarzed, w 1
you stay at home, and by your indiff
erence permit tbe State to be bank
rupted, and your own selves plundered?
People of Washington, your wives,
your children, your State, your Coun
try, all call you to the polls! Hun
dreds of you can control two or more
votes. Sec thatyobr influence is proper
ly exerted.
,A'7e Three Days to Your State;
We urge all honest men arid good
ait'zeus of Bibb county to let theii
business take care of itself for the next
three days, and devote themselves to
;he service, of the Slate. They have
more af-stake on this election than any
within our memory. If they dou’t car
ry it they are RUlNEt!—that’s just the
long and short of it. They have every
consideration that can influence men
io stimulate them to such work as nev
it was done before. Their all is a'
it'ake—all of liberty, ail of peace, ah
of properly. If ihe next Legislature is
Radical the tax-payers of Georgia
will be irretrivably bankrupt, ai.d
might as well select their quarters in
the poor house in advance. The fright
ful stealing and sw.ndling perpetrated
by Bullock’s gang in the Agency, will
be a mere drop in the bucket compared
to what that gang will do if they have
a majority in tbe next Legislature.
They will make a clean sweep next
time.
Are the freemen of Bibb county—
the-tax payers and property owners—
.lie honest men'and good citizens who
work hard and pay their lawful taxes,
-eady for such a doom.
The War.—Our accounts from the
seat of war are meagre and unsatisfac-
>ry, particularly to those who desire
sec an early peace. In our last no-
c we expressed the belief that Paris
-oust soon be starved into surrender—■
■ce- then we are told that Paris can
:•! outrfor months-i-tHiat provisions
. plenty, &c.” The city has not yet
-n bombarded, and: we trust it will
The reason assigned for this de-
:f in Waking up the populaco of Paris
those little messengers of Christian
lization, bomb shells, is that the
/mans have not the ammunition. We
supposed it was unwillingness on
part of the besiegers, to destroy the
t city in the worid, as well as to
;d the Slaughter of innocent non-
atants inevitably incident to a
. -ardment. A dispatch dated Bor-
x, 16th inst reports a heavy fight
Bendomc, that lasted all day.
- Prussian loss is said to be heavy.

Night and Bay.
What a beautiful thought is embodi
ed in those words of Holy Writ, “and
the evening and the morning were the
first day ; ’>■ “and 1 the evening and the
morning were this s&fcbn'd day.” Morn
ing has, and ever shall, follow the eve-
ning; and thoiigft "our whole‘life tnay
seem like one 'Continued night, it shall
be succeeded bj - the brightness of'eter
nal day.' '
In our customary method of comput
ing time, we reckon that day commer
ces at twelve o’clock, and thus we have
hath its extremes shrouded in darkness.
A similar idea have we of life, of morn
ing’s childhood and evening’s old age.
But it need not be thus with the Chris
tian’s life, for the evening-time may be
brightened with the radience of our
Heeavenly Father’s countenance; so
that which seems to us like a beautiful
sunset scene, is really, but a single ray
from the sun weich ushers in the glori
ous resurrection morning.
We read of those in ancient time
who died, being “old and full of days,”
vet how many have died, being old and
full of nights.' Evil thoughts and deeds
unthanklulnesB and complaint, are such
as make up our nights. Our days are
made up of pure thoughts arid righte
ous deeds, .sorrows pat ently borne
words of loviog sympathy -to the poor
bereaved one, little acts and looks of
kindness which bring back the glad
sunshine to some weary soul, and are as
balm to the wounded spirit.
They are the bright precious gems ;
whose radiance sparkles throughout all
time, and by whose" clear light we can
behold the- highway cast up for the
ransomed of the Lord. Than can wo
look beyond to the ‘ River of Life” and
that city which hath no need ol the sum
nor of the moon.
And thus may life in this world be
as the blessed dawning of eternal 'ia_

A Leaf from History.—A South
ern journalist, who held a long inter
view with the late General R. E. Lee
just after trie sui'retnkr'at Appomattox
Court-house, takes exceptiou to trie
language of Mr. Davis, in his recent
eulogy at Richmond, wherein he claims
entire harmony and accord betwetn
himseif and General Lee on all thegrei-t
quest ons connected with the prosecu
tion of the war. Declaims that L-e
was in favor of peace from the time of
the Gettysburg campaign on any hon
orable terms, while Davis as strenuous
ly opposed such a course. We quote :
‘General Lee was one of the influen
tial advisers of trie famous Hampton
R,iad> peace conference, which was
held despite Davis’ opposition, in tbe
hope that some terms might be secured
on which a struggle already known to
be useless by ail but Davis, might be
terminated, and that lurther effusion oi
blood be spared. And when the rebel
commissioners returned from that con
ference with President Lincoln’s uni.—
matum, General Lee urgyd itsaccep
tance with all the earnestness he could
command, inspired by his knowledge
of trie weakness of th8.army, ihe scarci
Ly of supplies, .and the absolute hope
lessness ot furtiier resistance. And
when Davis turned a deaf ear to all
proposals and entreaties for a termina
tion of the struggle, General Lee urged
him, as a compromise, to at least de
sist from futther efforts to arouse and
inflame the passions of the people, to
the end that after one more campaign,
i; being manifest that the cause was
hopeless, there might be a general read
iijess to surrender the contest.
Even this proposition Davis scouted
and spurned, and immediately sum
moned the memorable African Church
meeting, at which such inflammatory
appeals were made for a continuance
of the war, and the Iriends of peace
were so unsparingly deuoriuced. At
least tw s o of -Mr. Davis’ commissioners
to that conference will confiim this
statement which General Lee made to
the undersigned, These two geutk—
men—Messrs. Stephens and Camp
bell'—were so indignant at Davis’ ob
stinacy that they left Richmond rather
than paticipate in what they considered
a murderous meeting; and Genial Lee
retired to his army d.sneai ted and dis*
couiaged, but resolved to obey orders
and withhold advice in future.’

your attention is earnestly invited to the follow

that, the Legislative Department of the Government
has done its duty in the direction of providing laws
whereby pease and good or b r may be maintained

remains for the ffieebs charged with'the execution o
these laws to see to their observance, and to the arrest
of such persons 'jts wiRfuily violate them and there
by endanger the lives of the citizens.
Now, therefore, to the end that no incentive may
be wanting to induce the riged execution of these laws,
I hereby issue this my prue'amation, offering a re
ward of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS for the arrest
and conviction ot each and every person who may
violate either or both of said laws. The laws areas
