CEtCli-RA .Georgian ~ sandersville, Ga., Dee. 21,1870. To Our Patrons.—During the thrtfi days of election, the Georgian, will, be represented in Sandersville, by the Pro prietor, Editor, and other agents if ne cessary, in order to ■ close up accounts for subscription, and advertising. '■ As we have repeatedly notified our patrons, our terms for advertising and Subscription are cash in advance. VV e are unwilling to curtail our subscription list, and give notice to those in arrears, or whose subscription is about up. Call in friends, first deposit your votes for Georgia, and then call and settle for ihe Georgian. n IM m ♦ ' 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.

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.

TANNER, A lin’r. dec. 21, 1870 4od * VV 1 on t:ie 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.’ The Finance say.s mat immense sup- plies of arms and munitions of wat have ai rived at the Russian ports on the ii*auk Setti' ’ W ILL be fold before tbe Court hou^c door in the town ot bander-ville, on tbe first Tuesday in M roh next, tbe tullowiuir nan el tracts i.r parcel- 1-iud, two hundred and sixty ti ler acres adjoin iii|j[ Liras of Kus-el Cox, W. riain Watkins and othciH, also thice bundle 1 acres more or loss, known us the kitchen Taylorplac",adj. iuing lati- s ot N.
