It was on Tuesday, lire 27rh ultimo, a few minutes before four o’clock m ths afternoon, that the officers and men of the German, army beheUl tbo joyful sight of a white flig flying from the famous c.sthedrr.l. This was speedily folk"*ed by the same Welcome token from the citadel. A young lieutenant of the Thirty-fouth regiment was the first to discover the em blem of a d-.sire to parley with the besiegers. Firing iust.n ly ceased, and the next moment a end len and pivfound silence followed 'the hitherto steady booming of rbe artillery. ENTHUSIASM OP THE GERMAN ARMY. General attention being called to the flags by the unit-mil manner in which they were; exhib ited, the trnth of the situation was s’ti once guessed. Tremendous cheers rose from one portion of the besieging lines. They wore caught up and echoed throughout the entire army. At the moment I was ut Mundelsbelm with tlio officers of a Bidea regiment, when first in'ormation was re'* ived of » d-sire on ihe pan i f the besieged to t> eat fi.r sur* ender. Toe deene was indesoiibibly exciting, 'the officers 3 irai.g to their feet, embrace I e<ch other and isptd one another’s hands. The mou speedily followed rheir eximple, and some Of them ac tually shed tears of joy at the great triumph which was about to l<e achieved. Bef.jio long came the nows that the surrender was a fact. As the terms < f capitulation have already been repotted, I need not repeat them. A VISIT TO THE CITY. Yesterday I was fortunately enabled to enter t ie city with a Baton regiment. Toe sight was iai|ue-'ive end sad, although its harrowing foatmvs wore somewhat ic'toved hy.fh" evident joy of the citizens at .thcir re’eoaft from their terrible condition of suffering and suspense. MEETING OP THE HOSTILE COMMANDERS Tbo commanders of the German and French fore s, Generals Warder and Uhlrich met for the fi.st inn -, yesterday, after the terms of ca- pitnlaiion hid been arrange 1. The meeting look place just inside the gite on the east sidb ol tic city. G .-neral Unlrieb advanced lo Gen eral We tiler, aud ia a voice much agitated said-. ‘•i have j iolded to au immensely superior force only wi.eu further restsianee merely involved the iiu-dle-s sacrifice of the liver of my brave men. 1 hive ibe consolation,of knowing that I have yieldrd to an honorable enemy.” Gen Wi-rder who whs also much affected, plae- d his bands on the shoulders of General Uhlrich and replied, “You have fought bravely, and the heroism of yourself and your men will receive ns much hynor from your enemy as it can have from your own countrymen.” CONDITION OF THE CITY. All the arms have been surrendered with the exception of the officers' side arms. I have made hasty examination of the city. It seems not to have suffered bo much from the bombardment as was supposed. The carhedrul appears, and doubtless is, much injured, but hot sufficiently so to prevent its repwmnd res toration to its original shape aud design. Some five houses in the Place de la Cathedral have been humid. Here and there ore ruins of build ings which show the dangers to which the city bos been exposed in the vicinity of the cathe dral. On the east side of tbo city the destruction is greatest. Here a singular appearance is pre sented nf the inhabitants busily engaged in re moving bags of si raw, rags, mattresses aud every ciLCeivab’e thing which conld be used as a mems of stopping unwelcome visitors in the shape of shells. From the windows these unique sod hasry defences are thrown into the street, where they lie scattered about, giving to the localities uu appearance cf a grand removal of the inhabitants. The ruins of the theatre present a dismal as pect. Among the buildings destroyed is the fine public library. I am informed, however, that the hooks had previously been removed, or at least those of greatest value. WHAT THE PEOPLE SUFFERED. There does not appear to bnvo' be^n much actual suffering from w.ynt of foed, tlmugh the means in this regard were husbanded with the greatest care. The principal cause of anxiety was the confinement and want of good water. Several terrible stories-of the mortality caused by the bombardment are reported, but I am in clined to regard them as exaggerations. One family, consisting of a father, two daughters, two youDg sons and an infant had taken refuge in the cellar of their residence. The house was struck by a shell and sot on fire. It wrs de stroyed and all the nnhappy fugitives, were burned to death. One old gentleman, who has been doing businoss as a merchant in Stras bourg for many years, informed mo that his daughter was killed by a fragment of shell while walking in the streets. Those are a cou ple of well authenticated cases, but, as I re marked before, the majority of stories afloat I believe to be either wholly false or grossly ex aggerated. feeling of the inhabitants—ulrich’s conduct. Tho general feeling of the people is one of great thankfulness thaf tho city has capitulated. Tho reports spread abroad of the brutality of General Ulri.qh are utterly destitute of founda tion. Everybody in Strasbourg agrees,in de claring that his conduct towordsthe citizens was marked by-tha greatest humanity and consider ation, and all classes are load jn praise of him. The Now York Herald correspondent writes from Berlin, under data of September 28th, as .the leg joints missing, follows:— ./.'.-wlhwsI-Jtoas * ] * While I am wriliDg the afreets are enlivened by the presence of vast crowds of people and by iholarge number of flags flying from the houses. The cuiso of all this rejoicing is tho nows of the capitulation of Strasbourg, which is regard ed here a3 another step.towards the early ter mination of the hopeless strife of France against manifest destiny.) / ■... ' TI1E GEORGIA PRESS, j The Milledgeville Federal Union, of Tuesday, has the following: Putnam County Fair.—The Putnam County Fair begins on the 12th inst, and holds three days. The Central and Georgia Railroads will carry freight for exhibition and passengers for one fare. We are pleased to learn that an extra train will be rnn for the accommodation of vis itors. It will leave this city early in the morn ing and return in the afternoon. Putnam County.—Tho Eatonton Pross and Messenger says: Disagreed.— On Saturday last there was a meeting of the negroes in town for the pur pose, as we have been informed, of nominat ing candidates for the Legislature; but from some cause or other they failed to agree aud a nomination' was postponed to a future day. The cause of this disagreement, was too many aspirants for the nine dollar a day job. Blue—Some of onr planting friends are looking a little down her.rted at present about the great probability of having to sell their cot ton at present, or very likely at lower figures; but wo hope they will realize enough from the crop to put them out of debt and keep them from asking credit another year, but it now looks almost like hoping against hope. We learn that the fair daughters of our en terprising town, for the sake of a little amuse ment during the. approaching Fair, have and i»re preparing to give a series of exhibitions at the Academy in this place. Everybody should attend, both big, little, old and young, married and unmarried, and more especially those who want to marry. Columbus.—Tho Snn says the three public schools of Coiambus opened on Monday with twolve teachers and 415 pupils. Last year they during the. year was C38. Columbus is ahead of Macon in the,matter of common schools. Dr. Skinner, of Nashville, preached twice in the Baptist Church on Sunday to. large congre gations. The Sun says; - Dr. Skinner seems to be a man of forty years of age, is a minister of independence and abili ty, and socially gifted—a pleasant address and a fund of bumor. The church and congregation aro highly pleased with him, and he seems to liqe our city. Tbo church, wo understand, has guaranteed a salary of $2,500, and if the pews rent for more he is to have the excess; and also to pay bis expenses from Nashville to this place. He will return to Nashville to-day, and give the church an answer to her call the first of next month.. The same paper has the following State and County Taxes for Muscogee.— Ordinary Dner tells Us that they h ivo been in ldo the same as last year. That is 150 per cent, on the Siute tax, which is 4-10ihs of one per cent. This makes the county tax G-liOtbs of one per ceut., and tbe State aud county tax united, one per cent. Thus the tax on' $1000 will bo $10, or one dollar on the-$100. This, it is estima ted, will give the county, clear of all defaulters, $35,000, and $13,000 for the State. Total $50,- 000 The necessary directions for enforcing the order, have been issued. Our Fair.—Tho Secretary has received sev eral letters from parties in the North who in tend exhibiting articles at our fa:r; also from s number of stock-reisers who will bring fine horses and mules. Some fast animals are ex pected, and eplendid. The knights for tho tournament, the champious^for the shooting, and the boat clubs are busy practicing. Our fair promises to ba a brilliant success; Savannah;—We clip the following from the Daily News, of Tuesday: Adjournment of Superior Courts. —A. B. Smith. Esq , Solicitor-General of this District, yesterday rechived a letter from Judge Wm. Schley inclosing on order for the adjournment ot the Superior Courts, as follows : Montgomery Superior Court is adjourned nn til tho 17tn day of November next. Tamili Superior Court is adjourned until tbo 21st. of day of November next, and Bullock Su perior Coart until tho 24th day of September next. The reason of tho above change arises from the laot of the sickness of Judge 8ahley at New York, and though convalescent, he will not be in physical condition to attend to the business of bis Courts before the times mentioned. Fine Stock for the Macon Fair.—The steam ship Saragossa arrived from Baltimore yester day afteruotn with a heavy fi eight, amongst which is tbe Bade of Baltimore, a beawifnl maro, destioed to contest the palm for superi ority over the course at tho Fair to be held at Macon this week. She is a beautiful animal, small, lythe, and put up for a less time th in 2:40 on a fine track. Onr Macon friends will keep their eyes open for tho Belle of Baltimore, which left on tho Central railroad for Macon yesterday evening. Arrival op the Herman Livingston.—Tho steamship Herman Livingston arrived at ono o’clock v. m. with one hundred and twenty-four cabin, tweufy-five steerage passengers, and a very heavy freight. Among the former wore Nixon’s circus company. - Mr. Walter Pym, tho purser, will accept our thanks for favors. The Cothbort Appeal says that so prosperous have been the corn crops in Randolph this year, new corn is now selling in Cothbort at one dol lar a bnsheL ' T j. From Augusta.—Tho Constitutionalist, re porting a Radical Convention held in Augusta on Monday, says: There wa3 a split in the nominating Commit tee, resulting in a minority and majority report, the nominations of the former representing the Blodgett clique, aud those of the latter the Bry- antites. They squabbled, yelled, amended, sub stituted, and almost got Into wool-pulling over the nominations made by the different reports, for the space of two hours, when we adjourned at C o’clock P. m , leaving them still in session, endeavoring to discover the best means to so- care a satisfactory expression of tho voice of the meeting. -- 1 The Eagle and Phoenix Mills of Columbus have recently filled orders from A. T. Stewart, of New York, for their celebrated cotton blan kets, and are now shipping to some of the Western States. The Eagle and Phoenix is tho only manufactory on this continent whore such articles are made, and the orders for them are much heavier this season than ever beforo. The Decatur County Agricultural Society, at its last meeting, adopted resolutions censuring commercial manipulated manures, and approv ing the policy of every planter inakiDg and ma nipulating bis own manure, t; Jo Savannah, on Saturday, workmen engaged in making a sewer connection, uncovered an ancient skeleton, two or three feet below tho surface. The bones were yellow with age, and the leg joints missing. It is believed that the skeleton represented the remains of an Indian who died ‘-‘a long timo ago.’’ The bones wero recovered when tho work was completed. Crawford co., Ga., Oct. 2,1870. _ Blilors Telegraph, and Messenger: ■ 1 no tice that you copy from the Atlanta Consti tution a list of Democrats that are absent from the House of Representatives. In that list is the name of W. G. Vinson, Rcpresen- talivc from Crawford county. In justice to Mr. Vinson, and knowing the reason of his Mjsenee, I feel duty bound to state tho same that he may not be accused of shirking from duty. He is sick and confined to his bed and has not been able to leave his house since Miout the first of September. He came home °-i it three days leave of absence and has been unable to return. I hope you will give this a place in your paper so that injustice will not '•e done to one of our best men. I am Mr. ’ tnson’s physician and know the above to be sfrictly correct \Y. L. Jones. Thiers’ Mission to Prussia was a total fail ure j-A St. Petersburg dispatch of lartVFriday in the Herald says : M Thiers leaves here to-morrow on his re turn to Vicuna, a sadder and a wiser man than be'ore his arrival. The missic n he undertook, which wasto convince Russia of the great dan ger to her in suffering Prussia to become too great by the annexation of Frenoh territory and the eclat of uninterrupted victory over France, has entirely failed. J Notwithstanding the earnest and energetic solicitations of the veteran statesman for an in terview with the Emperor, his Majesty positive ly, though politely, declined to see him. Prince Gortsohakoff represented to M Thiers tbe utteT Impossibility of recognizing him in any official capacity, or as possessing any official authority, and pointed out the inexpediency of the Russian government holding official intercourse with a person whose avowed mission was to create dis trust and enmity on the part of Russia towards friendly Powers. ’ Since his interview with the Minister, M. Thiers has expressed the conviction that France has nothing fo hope from Russia, Affairs Jp SonUa Carolina. The New York Sun publishes a letter from R. B. Carpenter; the Reform candidate for Gov ernor of South Carolina, to President Grant, respecting tbe President’s endorsement of Scott. In this lettc-r the following occurs : Two years ago when Gov. Scott went into office, the people of this State were bankrupt; the planter had neither stock nor agricultural implements, or even seed; and tho laborer was without food. The liabilities of the State were nine millions of dollars : they have been in creased more than ten millions. The Executive officers and prominent mem bers of the Legislature were all poor, and now with one or two exceptions they are rich ; bri bery has been the ordinary inducement to make laws, and open and shameless corruption has stalked unrebuked through the State Capitol. To perpetuate this state of things, Gov. Scott, in violation of the State and national Constitu tion, and of an act to organize the militia, has raised an army of fifteen thousand colored men, quartered them in the various counties, armed them at vast expense, and distributed ammuni tion ns if on the eve of battle. Under an infa mous law passed by the last Assembly, the Governor has appointed three Election Com missioners in each county; they appoint the Managers of Elections to receive the vote3, fix the places for votiDg, and receive from tho Managers ati the votes cast at the different places, count and destroy them, and their cer tificate is the only proof of the number of votes, and for whom they were given, and they are allowed ten days to mako their returns. Gov. Scott was applied to officially by the Union Reform Executive Committee to appoint ono of our party in each county; he declined. Of the ninety-three appointed, twenty-four are members of the present infamous Legislature; a large majority of them are candidates, and they are all, with insignificant exceptions, the cor rupt tools of the present disgraceful Adminis tration. . The Convention that renominated Governor Scott was packed with his creatures, and where this process did not succeed, the regular dele gates were excluded and his friends admitted, as in the ease of Senator Sawyer and his co-dele gates from Charleston. The Chairman of the Committe on Credentials and Platform, tho prime mover in these outrages upon party or ganization end usage, was the Rev. B. F. Whittemore, who, having been ignominiously rejected by Congress, found congenial spirits and labor in the State Convention, and who is now a candidate for the Stato Senate from tho county of Darlington. In brief, the nomination was a fraud upon the party, as the Administration had been upon people. I have the honor to ho tho standard-bearer of the “Union Reform Partyits platform is tho equality of all men before the law without re gard to color or previous condition. It is a union of good men against bad. of the honest against tbe dishonest, and its object is to reform tlie State Government. “Only this, and noth ing moro.' 1 t A Votulo Case—Driving the Devil Ont of a White Mari. From the N. O. Picayune | It is curious to listen to the singular incidents related as growing out of voudouism in its vari ous chiracterihtics. Its satellites claim to be able to email misfortune or avert threatened evil—to cure the diseased or bring upon the scoffer the worst possible miseries. So preva lent is this idea among the colored people that they assume every good and evil fortune to this Eunice. If any one is sick he is “hou-doo-od.” If he gets well, the evil influence has been ex orcised and the horriblo enchantment removed Not a great while since, a respectable merchant living rn the upper part of the city was afflicted with a hervons sort of paralysis which af flicted his brain, and at times occasioned temporary mental aberiation. At these times he would grow wild, and his frantic actions, ex cited and uncontrollable, might well gtve rise to the impression among tho ignorant negroes that he was possessed of a devil. While suf fering from one of tho severest attacks he was seen by au old colored woman, upon whose mind his condition made a profound impres sion. •Missus, yer husband’s hoohooed,” she said, addressing his wife. “How do you know, aunty ?” inquired the lady, willing to humor the eccentric idea of tbe woman. “Know it is, missus—been dar myself.” “And how did you get cured ?” “My old man cured me—he’s a doctor.” The earnest manner of the old woruaD, and an unreasoning wish to try anything that would alleviate her husband’s malady, induced the lady to arrange an interview with the voudou doctor. He was confident in tho belief that hor husband was voudoued. Ho went through some cabalistic signs in his presence, and then pre pared a bottle of medicine. It was a dark liquid bat apparently free from impurity. This was to bo taken in p.-escribed quantities until the bottle was empty, and then to bn fi led up with water and taken again. In the meantime a sil ver piece was to be worn in the mouth between tho teeth and tho cheek. It would gradually turn black the “doctor” said, and in this way indicate tho progress mado in relieving the pa tient of hi3 malady. Now comes the carious part of the story. Before tbo bottle of medicino was exhausted, thcro began to appear in it a singular substance. It assumed tho appearance of a snake, a spider, a leaf and a root, each distinct and perfect in appearance. The attention of tho old “doctor” was called to these things, and he at once char acterized them ns the cause of the man’s dis ease. He said he wonld get : well now, bat must take the remainder of the prescription to relievo him of the effects of medicine hB had previously taken. This was persevered in with tho happiest results. The man got well and.he has now no indication of physical or mental disease. Of course himself and family ascribe his strange recovery to the voudou doc tor. But the question recurs, how came the curious objects iu the bottle? Were they put in there by the doctor at first or afterwards? The lady whose husband was so miraculously cured scouts both ideas as impossible. She is firmly impressed with the belief that they grew there from the effects of tbe old doctor’s en chantments. At all events it is a singular cir cumstance, and reveals a weird trait in the su- perstitition of those people, who may trtfly say there is more mystery in heaven and earth than was ever dreamed of by our philosophy. ’ n - rri TTTji T "VST T> /~V T Tv > D favor.

The Proprietor trusts that his Bemedies, from tho fact of being advertised, may not be classed as Patent Medicines. BUCHU, in one form or other, ha3 been present ed by every educated Physician for more than TWO HUNDRED YEARS. H. T. HBLMB0LD claims a superior mode of ex tracting its virtues. Tbo experiments were made while engaged in tho .DRUG business in the oity of Philadelphia, nineteen years ago, prompted by the alarming increi'o. of diseases of the Bladder, Kid- neys, Gravel and Urinary Organs, existing in both sexes.

THE ARTICLE SIAND3 PRE-EMI NENT. AND IS KNOWN IN ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD The firtt and most important object was to offer to the afilioted a remedy that was perfectly safe, acd omld be taken by adults and children. Ignorant per sons, who pay no attention to dose, direction, or ad vice, might reason “That if a teaspoonful, taken oo- casionally, d d good, two would do better, and per haps a bottle would cure in a day.” Many have broken down their health by dissipa tion, and on this principle; but they had lesn years in doing so. What I would have understood is, that no injury can arise from its use. It is as safe as a»y article of food; but patients must not expect any medicine to rebuild a wrecked or shattered constitution in a few dais. " This truth is so so'f-evidcnt that it to aid seem uu- necoi'ary to repeat it, were it not for tho fact that thousand; cf p- r-ons who are intelligent in ail other matters, scorn to think unro >sonably that a curative agent mast exhibit its ipccitic effects immediately, when tho fact is, that tima is often an impvtant o’.o- ment iu tho progress ot Asolo and t&orough care, ovtn when tho medicineis working the best results.

It was this that prompted ine to use your remedy.. As you advertised thut it was composed of buchu, oubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my physioianasan ex cellent combination ; and. with his advice, after an examination of the article, and consulting again with the druggist, I concluded to try it. I commenced to use it about right months ago, at whioh time T was confined to my room.

I felt much like writing to you a fall statement of my ease at the time, but thought my improvement might only be temporary,*nd there fore concluded to defer and see If it would effect a per feet care, knowing that it wonld be of greater value to yon and more satisfactory-te me.

Dr. Hblubold: . - *»*■>•*«*• Dear Sib—It is with much pleasure that I write you upon facts respecting myself. I do not know hardly how to express mysolfi I have bean, for fi the last ten or twelve years, the greatest sufferer mm could be and lire: but more some.tmc: thou others. The complaint was tha‘‘Kidneys” and’“B!ad- der.” I have been sOmetlmesiroin twelve U- fourteen hours, and wanted to make water evey minute, but eould not. Have oonsulted doctors, both in.Massa- ehusetts and tuis State, and lakoa pill.', I may saj by the quart, also liquored medieines, but found no ro- liof from any, and got worse the lsst-rix months. I was so that I could soaroeiy get ahont. I could not rest night or day. It wonld soon have been "all up” with me if I had not seen your advertisement in the Berkshire Courier, headed "Kidneys.” I read it through, and thought I would try it. I purchased a bottle, hut, mind you, I had not muoh faith in it. Why should I, when I had been trying so many things, and cost me so much? Well, 1 begaa taking it, and before I had taken the first bottle I Lit bad; but I finished it and get another. By the time I took half of the second I still got worse (apparently), - When I walked it seemed as if my right kidney wag falling from its place, and I felt really bad.'. £ felt so, bofore I had fiehhed the eocond, that 1 made up my mind it was of no use trying any more—and all this time the “Bnchu” was deingjte work, but l did not know it, eo I gave it up, and went to Hartf '(fi on Sat urday to ono of the best doctors in tho city. He said it was the nook of the bladder, and I should havo to undergo an operation. He gave me medicine, and I went homo quite down-hearted. Op Sue day I was unable to go to Church. I had hot taken any' of his medicine, but, on my return, continued using the "Buchn,” and in .the afternoon [ had adesire to make water, bnt could not.' About ono hour alter this I tried again, with the same result; but tbe next time I took the vessel, it was the same as turning a faucet and stopping it off again. It was so for three times, and the third time there was something came through the passage and struck against the sido ot the vessel. I examined it, and it is the ugliest stone or gravel you ever saw, covered over with little pieces which col lected together. It looks the color of a mud turtle, and is as hard as a flint. So you zee the Buchu was doing its work, although I was feeling so badly. X procured another bottle, thinking there might fag some more behind; but since t’u:t passed, which is eight weeks ago last Sunday, I havo been Gst we 1 as ever I was in my life. I hare the stone securely wrap ped, and those who have se n it in this pUoo are sur prised. I cannot toll you all. but this is aj-iuo story of my case, and you are welcome to make such use of u.y name as sou think propter. I am pretty well known in Berkshire, also in Conaectieilt.
