sept2l-ly
Atlanta, Ca., Sept. 18th, IST?.
Tur. Editor:—As the great mass? meeting
culled by Col. Hardeman assembled here
yesterday, I suppose you would like to here
from it.
Between ten and eleven o'clock the crowd
assembled tit the stand near the ear shed
where an arbor of plank had been erected
for tbe, occasion.
Col. Peeples, of Atlanta, was the first
speaker, lie commenced by taking a review
oftlie situation at Baltimore, antVfcaid there
was not a nv; n in the Democratic ranks at
the North who would have suited the
straight laced views of the South, and that
no one of the leading Democrats was willing
to take the field upon a “straight out', Dem
ocratic nomination.
lie spoke of this great national struggle
as one which stood on entirely new issues
from any ever before engaged in on this con
tinent. He referred to former party nllig
ments and said that litis war, no time for
beekenings and strife but for union in our
ranks against a common foe, .Radicalism.
Upon the whole, (’<>l. Peeples made a
splendid speech (as he always does). I have
not, the space to give even tin outline of it. [
Col. It. P. Trippc of Forsyth was the see- !
ond speaker, lie sustained life well earned ;
reputation on this as well as every other oe- ]
casion. J !*• considered this movement a rev- ,
olution and hailed it with joy as the only'l
hope of ddivcraffA he had seen since the
war. |
Gen. A. 11. Colquitt, President State Ag- j
rieultural Society, followed Col. Trippe, and !
spoke on the action of the Baltimore Com !
volition in regard to the loth, 14tli and lulji !
amendments to the Constitution. He voted !
against the Cincinnati Platform because he
believed these amendments unconstitutional,
null and void, but at the same time there were
offsets in that platform to each of the objec
tionable features in these amendments there
fore there was noadandondment of principle
in abiding the action oftlie Baltimore Con
vention. Had he seen any sacrifice of prin
ciple he would have withdrawn from the
convention at Baltimore. Gen. C's., speech
was in a channel upon which the people
need dightenmont and I hope it may be
scattered over the entire State. He further
said, that if a halfdozen Southern States had
have objected to the platform that lie could
have had another one, but the delegates from
the other Southern States told him for God's
sake not to do anything that would cause
division as they wanted relief.
Ex-Gov. Bonham of South Carolina, was
next, lie referred to the condition of affairs
in S. (\, brought on hv the enforcement of
the KuKlux laws by Grant’s minions and
su'd that whole towns were almost entirely
depopulated. Xo one could imagine the
condition of things without seeing. The
Governor only spoke for a few minutes. I
give one of his arguments. The people
charged Greelfy with being the author of
all Grant’s meanness; that Grant was a good
man, hut Greeley ruined him as Grant was
onlv carrying out Greeley s plans, which
was the better man now that Greeley has
forsaken his mean ways and gone over to
Grant’s (alleged) good ones and Grant still
in the mean ones?
Pol. Herbert Fielder then made a few
remarks and the speaking closed until night
when it was opened by Col. L. J. Glenn,
the Democratic candidate for Congress trom
this district. I had heard that Col. Glenn
had never announced himself for Greeley
and was surprised when he appeared. He
did however most emphatically announce
Greeley and Brown as the nominees of the
Democratic Party, lie made a good speech
and wound up hy asking the people never
to divide on Glenn however much tnex
might difter about Greclox.
The Demosthenes of the mountains (Dr.
IT. V. >l. Miller}, was next. I can say
nothing of Dr. M’s. speech but that it was
both eulogistic and eloquent of Greeley and
as good a production as I care to listen to.
Col. Cowart then made a few remarks by
tellimr some anecdotes but said the time nor
place did not suit him to enter into an argu
mentative discourse which he intended do
ing at an early day.
The lion, Mr. Dunbar then addressed the
crowd. He said that he would have to vote
for Mr. Greeley though he did not like the
man because Mr. G., had ruined his business
which xvas negro trading before the war.
11c wound up xvith a' glorious picture ot At-
ItIOMASTON. GA., SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1872.-
lanta in the future, when like the American
eagle she would stretch her wings to the
North and South and wash her tail in the
Chattahoochee river.
Col. Robert Alston, then came forward
and made some personal remarks about Air.
Greeley whom lie had known for more than
twenty j’cars. He said some excellent
things.
1 think that those who were disappointed
in hearing Carl Scliurz, or Dan. Voohees,
were very well paid if they listened to the
l H° n - Mr. Dunbar, and if-he does not rise
I ft nd spread himself as the American Eagle
! it will not be because the people of Georgia
know him. (I never saw him, or heard of
him before).
Our State- Eli-t tlou.
It is to be hoped that the general apathy
J which prevails throughout the State on the
subject oftlie approaching Presidential elec
will not have the effect to neutralize tlie
effort of the Democracy to secure the suc
cess of their candidates for Governor and
the State Legislature, by overwhelming ma
jorities. The divisions which unhappily
; exist to a greater or less extent in every
; county as to the proper course for Democrats
i to pursue in the Presidential contest, should
i he entirely ignored and disregarded in the
[ election which takes place on Wednesday,
i the 2d of October, and which is to decide
j whether our State Government is to remain
| in trustworthy, honest hands,, or be again
i surrendered to Radical knaves and plun
! di-Yers. Whatever may be our differences
: of opinion in reference to Ihe principles in
volved in the issue between the Grant and
Greeley parties; however we may disagree
as to the line of duty to be pursued by the
Democratic party of Georgia in the national
contest, all must agree that it is of vital
importance that we should preserve our
State Government from the grasp oftlie cor
rupt faction from whom it was so recently
rescued, and who again seek power to re
sume their schemes of robbery and plunder.
The result oftlie election on the 2d prox
imo is of vastly more importance to the peo
ple of Georgia than the result of the Presi
dential election in November. With our
local State government in honest, prudent
hands, we will, in common with the other
States of the Union, only, suffer ouV share
oftlie evils of Federal misrule, let who may
be elect'd! President. AVith an honest gov
ernment at home we can survive even
another four years of Radical despotism and
misrule under Grant, if, in the mysterious
dispensation of Providence, such a calamity
is in store for this country.
The result oftlie Presidential election is
beyond our control. The issue of our Slate
election is in our own hands. All that is
required to insure a Democratic triumph in
October is a harmonious, united, zealous ef
fort on the part of the true men of the State.
We do not underrate the strength of our op
ponents; backed as they are by unreasoning
ignorance, and sustained by unscrupulous
power, they arc formidable; but with perfect
concord and resolute, zealous action on our
part, we can carry the State by a majority
.that all the counting of all the Sliary-aud-
Quicks in Georgia cannot, overtome.
Let us, then, cease to discuss tiie issues
which have brought temporary discord in
our ranks until after the State election. Let
the cry be honest local State Govern
ment —Smith and a pure Democratic
Legislature! And when the Democrats
have achieved their victory and struck the
final death blow to-Ilndicalism in Georgia,
our straight-out friends will be in a better
humor to fight Radical dispot ism and cen
tralism at Washington.— Savant,ah JS'eic*.
“I'm too Busy.’’ —A merchant sat at his
office desk. Various letters were spread-out
befofc him. His whole being was absorbed
in the intricacies of his business.
A zealous friend of religion entered the
office.
“1 want to interest, you a little in anew
effort for the cause of Christ,” said the good
man.
“Sir, you must excuse me,” said the mer
chant; “I am too busy to attend to that sub
ject now.”
“When shall I call again, sir?’’
“I cannot tell, I’m busy everyday. Ex
cr.se me, sir ; I wish you a good morning.
The merchant frequently repulsed the
friends of humanity in this manner.
One morning a disagreeable stranger step
ped very softly to his side, laying a cold
moist hand upon his brow, and saying:
f, Go home xvith me !”
The merchant laid doxvn his pen; his
head grew dizzy; his stomach fc-ii taint and
.-ick; he left the counting room, went home,
and retired to his bed chamber.
His unwelcomed visitor had followed him
and now took Iff? place by the bedside x\ his
pcrinjf, eycr and anon:
“You must go xvith me.”
A cold chill -settled on the merchant’s
heart, spectres of ships, notes, houses and
lands flitted before bis excited mind. Still
bis pulses beat slower, Ins heart hoax ilx •
thick films gathered over his eyes, his ton
gue refused to speak. Then the merchant
knew that the name ofliis visitor xvas Death.
A Good "Word eor Young Children. —
Do not attempt to teach your children all
the rules of table etiquette, and then com
mand them to live up to them. It is a cruel
task for any young child to keep still. He
was never made to sit like a ramrod, straigt
and stiff, but want to eat and wriggle— and
eat and move—and eat and chat—and eat
and laugh; thus rendering it utterly impos
sible for him to eat too fast, and do all those
things he so much likes to do when unre
strained. Suppose an accident occurs at the
table, and a tumbler is broken, and a spoon
ful of sauce goes any xvliere but to the child’s
month ; suppose the tablecloth and his nap
kin are soiled, it is of no consequence when
put with injured digestive
organs and a rapidly swallowed dinner is
sure to hurt the digestion, to weaken the
process, and, if followed up for a time, will
surely make a case for~dyspepsia. Eating
was designed by Him xvhogavc us appetites*
to be a season of enjoyment.

What shall I liken these darters of fasliun

But hits the fasliun—Dolly Yarden is all

My fellow travelers, on the road to king

feller to brag, lie went a possum huntin
and sed he would do the climin for the
crowd; he cood lift a possum doxvn outen a

tree cliincr that' ever skinned a saplin or
trod sho luther; so when the dogs treed he
jest shed his coat and up he went, and when
he coteli his possum, low it as a big coon,
and he prayed from the very bottom of his

tor lie was in torment —ar —thirty-feet from

will pray to be delivered when hit am ever

Fast Girls.
There exists a large and growing class of
“fast" young ladies, who might advantage
ously be checked in their onward careers.
I hey may be encountered without much
trouble, for they ostentatiously thrust them
selves upon public notice. They have, gen
erally, plenty of self confidence, lots of lung
power, and a certain amount of personal at
tractiveness, enhanced by their style of
dress, which, though “loud” and, general
ly, extremely inartistic, has charms for men
of a certain type. It cannot he compared
to nothing so well as that adapted by the
“demi-monde;” indeed, it seems the desire
of the “fast” young ladies to imitate the lat
ter in many particulars beside dress—so
much so that people may well be excused
for occasionally mistaken them for what
they arc not.
They have many accomplishments. Pro-
vided they get with a congenial companion,
their conversational powers do not faifthem.
They go galloping on from topic to topic in
a i'. -rry, devil-may-catv fashion. No doubt,
were the}- wise, ffo-v would avoid vulgar
slang and some of the topics upon which
they touch, and refrain from expressing
sentiments which do not sound well coming
from lovely and presumably innocent young
maidens. They would he more charitable
toward their neighbors, leis sparing of hos
tile criticism upon those who do not affect
the same kind of life as they do. Their sis
ters, who lack sueh personal atttractions as
themselves, should not be cuttingly alluded
to; nor young men, of studious habits and
steady mien, be dubbed “muffs,” and other
uncomplimentary epithets, notwithstanding
that in a majority of instances they may be
incorrigible blockheads. No man likes to
bear a woman speak ill of anybody—unless
it be a dangerous rival for her favor. The
“last” young ladies, then, defeat their own
purposes, in being sarcastic at the expense
of others less gifted beings than themselves,
in expressing a preference for dubious pleas
ures, and in sneering at Airs. Grundy’s law
of propriety. But the fact remains that
they can talk, which, though talking is re
puted to be a purely feminine attribute, is
what many young ladies are unable to do
ext opt under the most advantageous eircun,
stances.
Frequently they can sing aiid play fairly,
though their style may be, to use a dramat
ic term, stagey to the last degree. They
are, generally, great adepts at croquet, and
if they have pretty feet, can show them in
the most charming manner during the pro
gross of this interesting game, to great ad
vantage. They use violet powder, and the
various cosmetics known to ladies with con
siderable skill, and manipulate false hair
sufficient, one would almost think, to stock
a hairdresser’s shop, with marvellous dex
terity.
Life iii a. Priming Office.
Few people tire aware of the inside work
ings of a printing office, nor of the annoy
ances attendant upon the publication of a
newspaper. It is impossible to form any
thing like a correct idea of the number of
men there are in every community, who
make it a point about every other time they
meet you to tell you of some important facts
that ought to be noticed by the paper pro
bo no publico. Generally, however, it turns
out that the item referred to is one in which
the informant lias an axe to grind, and the
newspaper is to be the free horse on which
lie expects to ride into public notice and
confidence. Or if not that, he is constantly
annoyed by a multiplicity of communica
tions, which are always lengthy, and con
tains nothing that anybody cares to see in
print or know anything of whatever, except
the writer, and perhaps one or two other
particular individuals, and for whose exclu
sive benefit it was written, it not for a mo
ment occurring to the writer that communi-
cations for a newspaper should Ixr such as
would interest thousands of readers. The
newspaper business is very exacting on all
connected with it, and the pay is compara
tively small. The proprietor risks a large
amount of money for smaller profits, and
the editors and printers work harder and
cheaper than the same number of men in
any other .profession, requiring the given
amount of intelligence and training. The
life has its charms and pleasant asociations
scarcely known to the outside world; but it
lias its earnest work, and hours of exhaus
tion, which, likewise, are not known to
those who think the business all fan. The
idea that newspaperdom is the charmed cir
cle where the favored members live a life of
ease, free from care, is a mistaken one.—
Business is business, and the journal that
succeeds is the one that is run on a square
business footing, with the same system as a
banking establishment.
“Welt, Sam, I’ll tell you how it is. You
see I married a widder, and this widder, had
a daughter.” “O, yes! I see how it is.—
You have been making love to this daught
er'?” “No! worse than that. You see my
father was a widower, and he married this
daughter, so that makes my father my son
in-law, don’t it ? Well, don't von see how
I’m mixed up?” “Well, sir, is that all ?”
• No. I only wish it was. Don’t you see,
my step-daughter is my step-mother, ain’t
she ? Well, then, her mother Is my grand
molffer, ain't she? Well I'm married to her.
ain’t I? So that makes me my own grand
father, doesn’t it?”
Mn. Blanton Dunoon and Chauncey C.

of the Louisville, Convention were some

Francis Keenan is the Democratic can
didate for Governor of Now* York. The
: Radical papers are abusing him because he
! is a Catholic.
The Radical majority in Maine, in ISAS
was over 28,000. In 1870, Perhans majori
ty is only 15,000 a decrease of over 13,000,
llow is this for Maine.
The proprietor of tli * Radical Savannah
Journal having prevailed of Col. J. E. Bry
ant to take the editorial management of this j
paper until Grant is re-elected hogs leave to
introduce him. If Bryant don’t befuddle
the country with his appeals for Grant, he
will sc-.mly be able to comply with bur
promise. We think it would have been better
for him to have assumed the editorial charge
until the Presidential election anu not till
Grant is re-elected.
Seauoeant Bates, who marched through
the country from Richmond to Vicksburg,
soon after the surrender with a United States
flat? at his mast head upon a wager that he «
could do*o without personal harm, has un
dertaken anew job - He now proposes to
walk from the Scottish coast to London,
carrying the “Hunting lie,” and if no insult
is levelled at him or his flag, he is to receive
a largo sum of money. Bates will lose, for
those enterprising Yankees who are betting
against him will have some of their number
posted on the road to insult the Scargcant,
arid if necessary, murder him.
The Last Resort. —Two young men
were overtaken by a squall in Delaware
Bay w hile sailing in a yacht. At Nazareth
Methodist church on Twelfth street, Phila
delphia. they had occasionally been present
at public worst up. From the way things
looked, the capsizing of their boat was very
near inevitable.
“Bill.” said one to the other, “this is a
serious business; can you pray?”
“No, T can’t; I’ve heard Joe Quinn doit,
and I’ve listenened to Bill Post, but I can’t
do it myself.”
“Well, you can sing a song or hymn,
can’t you? For heaven’s sake do some
thing.”
“No, I can’t sing here. I low can 1 sing
when tins boat, at any moment, may drown
us both?”
“Well, we must do something religious.
If you can’t pray and can’t sing, let’s take
up a collection.”
To this Bill consented. In his compan
ion’s hat lie deposited thirteen pennies, a
cork-screw uml a broken bladed knife. As
he did this the wind lulled, and the boat
made a successful landing.
Blanton Duncan A Know-Noth
ing.—A few days ago an old letter,
written by B’nnton Duncan in 1856.
on paper with a printed heading,
to-wit; ‘‘Millard Fillmore and An
drew Jackson Donelson. State Ex
ecutive Committee of the American
Tarty,” etc., was picked up at the
corner of Royal and Custom House
streets. The letter is one of advice.
It was sent from Louisville to one of
the interior counties of Kentucky,
and the writer, as a mcuth-piecc of
Kentucky Know-Nothingism advi
ses the gentlemen to whom it is ad
dressed to “see some ol the Straight
Wigs, who are not of our order , and
let them,” etc. In his postscript he
says : “Send us the names of any w ho
will speak and who arc worthy of
being made assistant county or dis
trict electors. We must have money
also, and I hope that your county
will send us SSOO. Speak to tem
inence a subscription. Me must
spend largely to defeat the fraud and
bribery ot the Buchanan party/’
And Blanton Duncan is the man
who undertakes to revive Buchanan
party, in the interests of Grant!

A Human Alligator.—The Savan
nah (Ga.) Advertiser of the 31st ult.,
has a correspondent who tells the
following tough story, which lie
vouches for as strictly true :
There lives within twelve miles of
'Wellborn, Florida, a human alliga
tor. Yes, it is truej c.sid his r nine is
Andy Adams. lie is now thirteen
years of age. lie was born of a re
spectable woman who is no v a widow
with several children. For two
years I have tried to obtain this
wonder for the New York museum,
but his mother and family wili not
part with this, their pet. Ilia breast
bone is sharp and projects far out.
His arms and hands resemble the
feet and legs of an alligator. Ilis
lower half, fiorn his hips down, are
simply bones covered with skin. lie
is stiff in the hip joints. lie can. sit
up with legs stretched out. if be
lies down on his back bis feec and
legs stick upright. lie cannot feed
himself except to put Ids head down
and bite or eat like an animal. His
head Is large and lie is an intelligent
boy. Ilis mother is very poor, con
sequently lie cannot be educated.
Canadian Annexation.—A Cana
dian correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun says: ”1 found that the desire
for annexation is rapidly growing
in Canada, and I believe that a
majority of the inhabitants of Gode
rich and its vicinity would to day if
they had an opportunity, vote for
annexation. 1 discovered also that
a large majority of the people of
Canada believe that Horace G.eeley
will be our next President.”
