Telegraph and Messenger, MACON, OCTOBER 18, 670. Tlie Election Sews. Bearing in mind that these Northern ana Western elections are the first nnder the negro suffrage programme, and that th3 darkies all voted the Radical tioket, which they will cease to do when they get a little information, the result is highly gratifying. The negro vote has profited the Radicals nothing. They have, in fact, apparently lost ground in Pennsylvania and.Ohio, and lost the State of Indiana, on the State ticket, by 2,000 majority. Radicalism is going down ; Democracy is coming up gradu ally, but strongly, and will soon be in control of tho country onco inoro—giving ns a just, liberal and manly goverment, and laying this government of hatred, malice and fraud on the shelf forever. Let every good man pray for the happy consummation, and do his best to hasten it. Public Meeting. Wo are requested to announce that a meeting of the citizens of Macon will bo held in the City Hall at 11 o’clock on Saturday, the 15th instant, for the purpose of adopting proper measures to testify tboir grief at the death of Gen. Robert E. Lee, and in order that it may taka such shape ns will result, in some enduring testimo nial to his momory, ittoas been suggested that a monument, erected at some point to be here after determined, will be a very appropriate method of manifesting such appreciation, the subscription towhioh shall be limited to one dollar for eaoh subscriber. We hope, nay, we are sure, there will be a very full attendance on the day, and at the place designated. One Dollar Apiece. The peoplo of the South should limit the contribution to a memorial for General Lee to one dollar apiece-and this will raise millions for a monument, because every man, woman and child will insist on contributing. If we had our way, that money should be in vested in one grand and stupendous MEMORI AL HALL, at Washington College, whichshonld not only bo nsefnl to the living, but a splendid monument to the doad, and be a grand deposi tory of the relics and memorials of onr illus trious chieftain.

That little piece of diplomacy between Col lector Robb, of Savannah, and Secretary Bont- well, about half-masting tho flag in respect to General Loo’s memory is worthy those func tionaries, and seems specially designed to pro voke a hiss from all Christendom. Well, there are some souls in this world, which, if not little and mean, are nothing at alL It is the only distinction they are capable of winning. Justice Triumphant.—The Journal of Com' merce, of the lOtb, felicitates the New York ers on tho fact that, at last, the administration of justice in that city, has been cleared of re proach, and the Courts are a terror to evil doers. They no longer confront justice with brazen faoes, and rely confidently on chicanery and corruption for an escape from the penalties of crime; bnt they plead gnilty and beg for mercy. Eleven of them entered that plea in a single day in the Courts of Oyer and Terminer and General Sessions, and were pnt nnder sen tence for various terms in the penitentiary. ThnPabtt ofPboohxss.—To the claim of the Radical organs that their party is the party of progress, the World pithily replies: “It has made great progress. Starting with the decla ration that the people of every locality should control their own affairs, and especially oppos ing Federal interference in local elections, it now openly favors Federal interference in State and local elections, even to the extent of ap pointing Federal agents to say who shall not Tote in some localities, and sends soldiers to other States to sooroe the people into voting for the Radical ticket. Sorely this is progress; bnt a hind of progress which, if allowed to oon tinne, will destroy onr free institutions.” It is strange how sensitive some men are. They will get drank, rave about the streets, yelling like savages, go home and beat their wives, torn their children out of doors, being so proud of their achievements as to make the neighbors conscious of the fact; pay a fine be fore a magistrate, and having made themselves as notorious as possible, will slide around to the editor and beg him, with tears in their eyes, not to bring disgrace to their families by men tioning that tittle affair in the paper.—Ex- Thx Condition of Metz.—Correspondents of the New York papers represent the defences of Metz stronger than they were before the siege. The entire force of the defenders has been busy night and day adding to the strength of the works all round the city for a circle of four or flTe miles, and its redaction by famine is the only possibility. The movements of the be siegers are constantly observed from an im mense balloon at a height of three thousand feet, which is moved by a heavy rope, and in the car of which sit a half dozen French officers from daylight to dark and all night when tight enough to see. POBTBAXTS 07 THE WaB DoOS.—J. W. Burke Sc Co. hare just received a complete picture gallery of the men of blood. There is Napoleon, King William, the Crown Prinoe, Frederick Charles, Bismarck, Ton Moltke, Trochu and all "the other dogs of war and carnage, whose quar rels butcher up the poor people by the hundred thousand. Tho whole of them, in ouj judg ment, are not worth one honest peasant, who, if let alone, wonld till the earth and tend his flocks for the suatenanoe of his wife and chil dren. ' was, and will ever be, her glory and bis due. The death of Lee is a stroke whose severity cannot bo measured by any ordinary standard. He was onr pride—onr idol. In his gTand form and still grander soul, were gathered all the constituent elements of physical, mental and moral beanty. He was a model both for the sculptor’s chisel and the historian’s pen. His religion was duty. He had no other wish, no other aspiration than to serve his country, and advance her glory and honor. He was a Patriot as pore and noble as ever Rome deified or Greece embalmed in immmortal verse. He was a Soldier worthy to stand in History’s gal lery with the gre atest warriors that ever oonqner- ed worlds or created nations. Ho was a Gentle man by birth, breeding and instincts; and in every thought and action of his daily life. He realized and united in his person and char acter, all our conceptions and all the attributes of a Bayard or a Sydney. He was a Christian, hnmble, sincere, and faithful—loving and serv ing his Master with unwavering devotion and steadfastness. In every relation .of life he waBtraeastrathitself. All these things tins man was, and now we have lost him. The grave has swallowed him up, and only a great, black, ach ing void remains. We oaa soaxoely realise that he has indeed passed from our sight. We shud der under the terrible shock, even while hope almost tempts ns to mb onr eyes and ask if it is not all a woeful dream. God help the mil lions of loving hearts who most awake to the. terrible reality! . » We shall not speak of T.tu in connection with the events of the last decade. His name and his honor have already been vindicated and il luminated by the judgment and applause of the - civilized world, and History will emphasize the verdict He threw his sword into the scale where he judged his duty and the life of his section demanded it should go. That he was BY TELEGRAPH. was a communicant was draped in mourning a few hoars after his death. General Leo' hod been almost entirely unconscious since Monday night last, and expired very peacefully at half past 9 o’clock Wednesday morning. He was first taken sick on Wednesday evening Septem ber 28th, while just about to sit down to tea, when he suddenly sank in his chair -insensible. He soon reacted and in the conrso of tho next ten days, steadily improved until it was hoped that he was out of danger. But on Monday of greater in this act than in all the grand acts his life, we, in behalf of true men and women everywhere, dare affirm with all the fervor of matured conviction. Sectional hate may hiss, and partisan rancor malign, bnt they can nei ther soil his fame nor discredit his motives. While the Sonthhas a name, or her people a tra dition, they will hold him in the citadel of their hearts secore against every attack. Bnt enough. More eloquent pens than ours will hasten to embalm, “in thoughts that breathe and words that born,” the virtues of the dead Hero. We only desire to lay these few halting words upon his grave as our humble tribute to his memory. God rest the soul of Robekt E. Lee. Beecher’s sermon last Sunday is thus report ed : “Taking Matthew xxii and 30th verse as his text, ho proceeded to puli the plug ont of the bottom, and talk of fire and brimstone.— The Bible, he said, was foil of fiction. As ex amples, he mentioned the future life and the new Jerusalem. Everyman, he declared, was his own heaven maker. His remarks were humorous in the extreme, and the congregation were kept upon a broad grin until they drear the oorners of their mouths for the benediction. Suspended Business.—We received the fol lowing dispatch, yesterday afternoon: Dawson, Ga., October 13.

We hope the movers in the project feel much better, now that there is a good prospect of their dom- ioll in snob pleasant quartan. Stanton, the great railroad buyer of Radical Legislatures, was in Atlanta a day or two since. It is understood he comes with the intention of deteg some trading in sad around the Open The Pound or Flesh. Bismarck says he “don’t .want to reduce France to the position of a second rate power bnt the miseries of her situation in any possible event of this war, it is hard to over-state. The country over which-the Germans have marched or raided is one vast waste, destitute of every thing which can sustain life, and a scene of un sparing and brutal spoliation. The people are utterly rained and cannot recuperate in a gen eration. France owed before the war a debt of two thousand six hundred millions of dollars, and the Germans long ago claimed that the war had coat them mom than a thousand millions, which will be one of the items of indemnity. Probably peace will leave France with a debt of four thousand millions, exclusive of all lia bilities which she has incurred on her own ac count daring the war, which may be another thousand millions. Then she must lose, in Alsace and Lorraine, a tenth of her population, upon the back of the enormous property dam ages which have resulted and will accrue from the war. In a word she has got a debt, which, as the darkies say ‘‘the can’t tote." The inter est annually accruing will be beyond her reve nue capacity, and probably the attempt to cany it will destroy any and every government in succession which shoulders the harden.— France will wipe it ont finally as she did the assignats, and Germany failing to collect de monish by war and plunder, must compromise the debt with more land. Bismarck, with his gnns levelled to batter down Paris, calls heaven to witness that Ger many rnnot responsible for the hundreds of thousands of men, women and children who most perish in that great capital from starva tion and violence! And the Jew, in the Mer chant of Venice, was not responsible for the blood which might follow the knife in securing his pound of flesh. Indeed, the Jew had the advantage; for the precise amount of Ms claim had been adjusted and nominated in the bond. Bnt Bismarck fixed the debt doe himself, and he has tho seme right to ask more as less, and then invoke the vengeanoe of heaven on the obstinacy of the French because they will starve to death and get shot with Prussian cannon rather than give up their all. Nobody is stnpid enough to respect such ratiocination. If Prussia had left the point of of what was fairly dne her to the arbitrament of friendly, disinterested powers, and then France had refused the concession, with some reason might Prussia say, “her blood be on her own head—it does not stain my hands." But Prussia, from the first, warns Christendom to stand off and not to interfere. This is her quar rel and she will brook no intervention. She re fuses all attempts to oomponnd this scandalous and outrageous war exoept upon her own judg ment of what is doe herself, and then persist ently follows up the work of murder and deso lation—for it is nothing else. It is simply man gling an antagonist after he is down, and in no condition to continue the straggle. She will probably make Paris a scene of woe and horror at which humanity will shudder to the last day of time. Bnt there is a slow yot potent vengeanoe of publio opinion, and it is now gathering in force. The Blaver of the poor minions and toadies of triumphant violenoe has ceased to flow, and the manhood, chivalry and generosity of Christendom is now making itself heard. No nation can afford to incur the rep robation of mankind; and that Germany Is likely to do if she'persists in carrying on this work of devastation and murder on prostrate France. Consumption—Startling Facts.—Dr. A. Y. H. Garnett of Washington City, recently de livered a lecture in that city of which a corres pondent says: A startling fact was that announced by the lecturer, with reference to tubercular consump tion, that fearful scourge of the human family.

' It seems that Empress Eugenie sent for Gen eral Bouxbaki, and that her object was to pro pose, through Mm, conditions of peace on the basis that Prussia should retain Alsace and Lo- raine, and leave the Prince Imperial, under regency, to govern Franoe. When told by Bourbvki that nobody in France would tolerate even the presence of the Prinoe, the Empress burst into tears. A letter from Eugenie to the Emperor, of wMch Countess Gowper was bearer, doubtless referred to this project. The town of Ablis has been burned acoording to the threat of the Prussians. Burnside has frequent interviews with Bis marck. The Prussians occupy BrebuiL The Germans are certainly advancing on Amiens. The rumored disorders in Bheems aro denied. The correspondent of the London Post re ports that one hundred and fifty volunteers from the United States rcoentiy arrived Tours, and met an enthusiastic reoeption. Gen. Floury has been permitted to rejoin Napoleon. Much curiosity is manifested to kcow what has become of Marshal LeBouf.— The people in Tours and in the vioinity are re ported raising to arms. The expected large masses of Frenoh troops, called out by Gam- belts, will take the field in ten days. It is re ported that Bourbaki has accepted command of Tours. An engagement took plaoe between the Prus sians and French at Messongere. The latter were defeated and compelled to abandon the place.

Sandebsville, Ootober 12, 1870. Editors Tdegraph and Messenger: Wash ington Superior Court convened on Monday last, Judge. Robinson presiding. Up to this writing the time of the court has been consumed with old cases that have been on the docket for years. A jury was out nearly two days and nights on one of these old oases, and then failed to make a verdict. I have never seen the planters of tills county more low spirited than at this time. The ma jority bought largely of fertilizers, for whioh they are indebted. The crop has been out off fearfully by rust and dry weather, and now the price is down so low that the planter cannot see his wsy through. Very few have any money, and very Rttie prospect of having any, unless there is a great reaction in the cotton market. I have consulted with leading planters from various parts of the county, and the estimate is that the crop will not average more than one bate to three acres. The com crop Hearn is pretty good. Unless there is a great change for the better, commercial manures will be Velowpar in Wash ington next season; many planters say they will buy none at ail, others very sparingly, (a very few) will use extensively. I have met with very few farmers who are pleased with the re sult from guanoes this year. I think, however, that amidst all this disap pointment, I see signs ef improvement. A large planter told me yesterday that he had bought his last cask of bacon, and that he would have com to sell. I find the same feel ing prevailing throughout the county. Perhaps no county in Georgia is getting along more quietly and pleasantly than tMa.

Ample a> are the columns of the Herald, I could fill every one of them with thoroughly well authenticated tales of the misery endured by the people of this place, and of the hellish cruelty of toe savages who tons wreaked their vengeanoe upon them. And mark, I beg you, that this was not done in the heat of aotion by an infuriated soldiery, but deRberately and by order of the superior offi cers, after the Frenoh army had capitulated.— From house to house fatigue parties, under officers, went in regular order, and after each house was thoroughly pillaged it was then set fire to. If the fire went out the work was re sumed again. And wMle tMa devilish labor was going on—while the few inhabitants who had remained in the plaoe were shot in cold blood—the Bavarian bands of miUt&ry music played in mockery the French national air, toe “Marseillaise.” After this let those who think they wiU be listened to preaoh that Alsace and Lorraine ought to be given up to the invaders of Franco; or let those who nave read of these horrors wonder if the French people have re solved rather to perish than to allow Paris to be taken by the Prussians.

Another Radical Ue Nailed. The Jacobin press, North and South, have been squawking and capering over an alleged triumph of their party in Delaware by reason of toe addition of the negroes of that State to its voting population. They had it telegraphed aU over toe oountry that Delaware had gone Radical by 300 majority. The Baltimore Ga zette, of Monday, nails the Re after this con clusive fashion. On Tne9day an election was held iu Delaware for Hundred officers, and for inspectors of the State election to be held early in November. The result was, that “Newcastle oounty—the stronghold of Radicalism and toe negro vote was only carried by that party by forty-four majority, whilst Kent oounty gave about six thousand, and Sussex county one thousand one hundred and sixty-nine. Ibis Democratic tri umph was brought about in the simplest and yet them osi natural way. A large number of the white citizens of Delaware, who, up to toe time of the passage of the Fifteenth Amend ment, had supported the Radical party, went over in a body, at the election last week, and voted the Democratic ticket.
