MACON, OCTOBER 18, 1870.
9 Giy xia> Mile, Wna and Laoeb Beer.—The

A negro indignation meeting was held at
Cooper Institute, New York, on the IOlb, which
deplored the continued existence of the spirit
of ciste, which still frequently exclades colored
people from hotels, the saloons and staterooms
of steamboats, sleeping cars, workshops, places
of amusement, eqnal educational advantages,
been finally disposed of, another has been on- _—,
iered on the docketed, which is convnfi-iog, end from duo social recognition; and called
Gotham. Rev. J. D. Folton.'an apostle of To-
ial Abstinence, denouncing Rev. Theodore
Tilton, editor of tho Independent—a high tem
perance, religious and progress paper, forhiv-
iDg been seen in a restaurant eating Innch »nd
regaliDg himself frequently from a bottle of
wine before him, Tilton rejoins that ho will
drink wine, when and where he pleases, but he
don’t see how Fulton can complain of him,
when he, the said Fulton, ono Sunday night,
after preaching at Dr. Armitago’s church, enter
ed a saloon and drank the better part of ten
c i.cmj of lager. Thereupon Fulton sueth Til
ton for libel, and Tilton publishes a letter from
a respectable, high morality and progress mer
chant, setting forth that he helped Folton dnnk
the lager in question, and Folton took more
. than his share. Folton was just loose and dry
from a temperance discourse, showing that wa
ter—pure water—was the only beverago con
sistent with a high morality. Tho Tribune sets
forth these facts in a good part of a column.
Yisar Busy.—We understand that Judge Mc-
Gay, of the Supreme Court, is up to his eyes in
the work of licking Into shape the addresses of
the various Radieal Congressional nominees to
their constituents (!). Moat of them enjoy only
• Tory limited acquaintance with Lindley
Murray and Webster, and have therefore press
ed his Honor into service to make them better
acquainted. We had understood that his Honor
found his spare time f oily occupied in perform
ing these offices for Bollock, bnt it seems he
finds leisure sufficient even from that onerons
duty to put grammar and correct orthography
in tho mouths of the would be Congressmen
tf his party. We hope it is not “a labor of
loTe,” entirely.
The Condition or Paris.—Tho Prussians,
if wo may credit the telegrams, are full of cour
age and hope, and think they have achieved
important successes within the past few days.
Whether this be so in truth, or whether the
Prussians have merely retired out of harm’s
way until they aro fully prepared to begin their
bombardment we are unable to say. The Prus
sians, it seems pretty clear, must, at least, take
some of those forts constituting the onter line
of fortifications before they can touch the walls
of Paris. Gambelta insists that they have
ihreo months’ provisions, and we are inclined to
look for a protracted siege.
“Et tu Brute !” This from tho Cincinnati
flnquior: “ ‘An angry Georgian,’ just recover
ing from the effects of ‘Golden Eagle,’writes
up the Green Line Excursion for tho Louisville
Courier-Journal. Some people are always ill
natured on getting over a drunk.” Who is this
“Angry Georgian ?”• Is he the thirsty Atlanteso
who exclaimed, as he rnehed np to the refrig
erator in the passenger car as be was starting
fromr’ Cincinnati: “R! I am two gallons of
wnteif behind.” Can any of onr Atlanta cotem-
* poraries throw a ray of light on the subject ?
Tan New Englanders seem to be mnch puz-
sled by tho superabundant crop of apple3 with
which (hey are favored at present. A barrel of
the best of this fruit can be had near Boston for
fifty, cents. In New Hampshire five cents a
bushel is the current price. Connecticnt is sell
ing at rates almost as low. In order to tnm
this great crop to the best advantage, steam ci
der mills have been put in operation, and cider
is being manufactured in unparalleled quanti
ties.
One of the most gratifying results of the re
cent election in Ohio is the defeat of the no
torious Schenck, for Congress, by Lewis D.
Campbell, in the Third District. Schenck was
the right bower of the tariff robbers and no-
nopolists in Congress, and didtheir bidding with
hatefol zeal and shamelessness. We don’t
greatly admire Campbell, bnt he will at least re
present the people of his District and State.
Schenck never did.
The tribute paid by Governor Walker, of Vir
ginia—himself a Federal soldier— to the memo-
*7 of General Lee, as reported by telegraph yes
terday, was a noble exhibition of true manhood.
The people of that State and of the Sonth will
aver hold it in grateful remembrance. Walker
represents tho men of the North—Grant a Treas-
«rer its hyenas.
The mulatto who was nominated for Con
gress by the Radicals of this district, wo hear,
s having a rough time of it, with rougher pros
pects ahead. The negroes don’t swallow him'
worth a cent. A good many of them express a.
determination to show their appreciation of him
by electing him to stay at home in his shop.
He’s a leetle too smait and fancy, they say. 1 " * * “
Neither the French or Prussian cavalry
have shown enough energy during, tho war, to
get np a respectable raid. The Prussians, how
ever, seems to have taken some very valuable
lessons from Sheridan in the art of plnndering
ken roosts and store houses, and burning houses
ever the heads of helpless women and children.
The creatures abont Washington and Atlan
ta who are courtmg newspaper notice by
their insults to the memory of General Lee,
shonld be disappointed. The greatest pnnish-
sent they can receive is to have their names
rednlohsly kept ont of prink Let the people
aaark them, however, for a future settlement.
Cornelius Wendell, a “King bee” in the
Washington lobby, bnt a good fellow, withal,
died in Northampton, Mass , last week. He
bad, in his day, probably bought more mem
bers of Congress, and bought them cheaper, than
may man in his lino of business.
J edge Meltox, who was elected Circuit Judge
of one of the South Carolina Judicial Districts,
by the Radical Legislature of that State, de-
cferos that there Is not a county treasury em

cals aro getting rich, however.

viral principle of common hotels, saloons,

or adhere to the mulatto policy of the Georgia
Radicals ? That is the question, Why, even at
this me eting to demand negro social equality,not
a negro was allowed on the platform—nothing
bnt yellow-skins,like Rnby, who paraded a white
wife. Thus these champions of “no distinc
tion on account of color or race” only insult the
negro. All they want is that *‘carafe” be sufficient
ly broken down to let them in to tho houses and
eating and sleeping accommodations of the
whites, while it is highly probable not one of
them would be willing to eat, drink and sleep
with a negro. So the whole biling of them,
white and yellow, shriek for “no distinction on
account of color” in nominations for Congress,
bnt are carefal to pat the distinction in full
force against the negroes. Oh! they are a
canning set; bnt the negro will understand
them after a while.
Snch a Monument as Lee would
Prefer.
Some time ago the corporation of Harvard
University moved in the matter of erecting a
monument to the memory of their Alumni and
students who had been killed in the war. A
very large subscription of all the classes was
taken np for the purpose, and then it was de
termined to change the plan of proceedings,
and instead of building a barren pile of stone
masonry, to erect a splendid Memorial Hall,
whose lofty tower shonld be tho monument,
and whose spacious apartments should not on
ly inclose the memorials of tho departed, but
be consecrated to the uses of piety and benev
olence.
Tho idea, come whence it may, is a good one,
and we believe if General Lee could direct
the expenditure of the millions which will be
contributed by an affectionate and admiring
people to bis memory, ho would say, “Let them
associate my name with a great work of pious
benevolence.”
And this can be done. Let a grand Lee
Memorial School or College be erected and en
dowed for tho education and maintainence of
tho orphans by the war, and bear, if you will,
upon its loftiest tower, a statue of tho immortal
patriot. Millions could be raised for so grand
a double purpose, and it would be far better
than any naked and intrinsically worthless pile
of stones in the shape of a monument.
Putnam County Fair.
The third annual fair of Putnam county was
began last Wednesday and ended on tho 14th
mst. It was quite a success. The show of ag
ricultural products and ladies’ handicraft was
very good. The exhibition of stock was also
finer than ever before. Oar friends in Potnam
have now established firmly their enterprise of
an annual fair, and It will be in the future a
pleasant and profitable occasion for ail that sec
tion of country. As is always the case, tho at
tendance of the people of that and surrounding
counties was good, and we heard a bachelor
friend from Macon remark that “whatever else
might bo said, of one‘thing he was sure—the
Pntnam fair was entitled to the premium for a
beautiful display of ladies.” And we incline to
the opinion he was right. Friday was a beauti
ful autumn day, and the display of lovely and
charming persons of the sex so much admired
by men was grand.
There was quite a spirited contest over the
question of the prettiest yonng Isdv on the
ground, and we were told that some of our
young male friends from Macon were much in
terested in the matter. All passed off agreeably,
and wc wish onr Putnam planters and citizens
many returns of this pleasant reunion. Of .par
ticulars we shall have to speak hereafter.
Lease of the State Road. J t
The Atlanta Constitution says that the bill to
provide for the leaso of the State Road fixes
the rent at not less than $25,000 per month,
and authorizes the Governor to resume posses
sion within twenty days after failure to pay
monthly rent. It requires a bond in the sum
of eight millions for the prompt payment of
the rent and the return of the road in as good
condition as when received. An inventory
of the road and equipment is to be taken
and filed with the Secretary of State, and the
debts of the road are to be paid ont of the
State Treasury after having passed a board of
examination, consisting of Bingham, Conley,
Dawson A. Walker and George Hiliyer. The
bill has passed tho House and is now before
the Senate.
The Prussian National Bummers.
A correspondent of the Boston Post says the
Uhlans do not belong to the German army, and
ore neither paid,. uniformed, equipped nor pio-
vigioned by the government. They are simply
privateers, land pirates, waging war for-booty.
Their ranks do not include a single gentleman
or man ot honor, bnt they are merely a set of
debauchees, robbers, cat-throats and scoundrels,
let looseupon the French to plunder,, bum and
murder on their own account. With this un
derstanding of the merits of the Uhlans, we
can comprehend the mercy and justice of Bis
marck, who. has decreed that the Frenoh-Ti-
rears, people of the country who have taken up
arms to defend their homes against these or
ganized robbers and assassins, shall be shot as
soon as captured.
Affairs at Meta.
The World’s specials of tbe 12th, say the
German army before Metz is in very bad condi
tion—disaffected, demoralized, Buffeting from
bad water, insufficient supplies, and very malig
nant fevers. The deaths from sickness, for the
past three weeks, have averaged 150 per day,
and tho insufficient hospitals aro crowded to
repletion. The ravages of the rinderpest among
the cattle and horses of tho army are so great
that the atmosphere is poisoned with their
corpses. Meanwhile the sorties of the besieged
harrass and worry them. If Prince Frederick
Charles, is dead, as reported, he died of the
camp fever contracted before Melz. He was
reported sick of typhus fever on tbe 10th at
Ferrieres.

Plucking Oat tbe Mote ud Ignoring
the Beam.
The horror and Indignation expressed by
some of the Northern Radical papers at the bull
ing of the town of Bazeilles by the Prussians is
very praiseworthy, we euppoee, but to some
people down here who have memories it seems
disgustingly inconsistent. Base ill es was stout
ly defended by the French troope and inhabi
tants, and when the Prussian soldiers foroed
their way into it tbair blood waa hot end their
passions roused by the fever of battle. That
they committed an act of unjustifiable and sav
age barbarity that will make their name stink
in history is most true, and the oivilized world
brands them therefor with all the ferver of
honest acorn.
But it certainly does not lie in the months
of those pious creatures at the North who
gloated and hurrahed over the destruction of
Atlanta and the exile of her helpless women to
starvation and death, and the shameful sacking
and horning of Columbia to cast one stone at
the Prussians for their barbarity. Neither At
lanta nor Columbia were offering any resist
ance to Sherman and his soldiers when they ap
plied the torch and commenced the sack. They
entered both places with their blood cool, and
their passions unstirred. There was not an
armed man in either, to dispute tbeir entrance.
Both cities were destroyed in cold blood—de
liberately, wantonly, and shamelessly, and
with the approval of the authorities and peo
ple of the then so-called United States. The
deed was done too by men of the same race
with ourselves, speaking the same tongue, and
in the name of union and fraternity. The
Prussians at least have tha excuse for their
deviltry that they were in an enemy’s country,
and warring upon a hostile and alien people
whose hate for, and designs against them were
imbedded in their very blood.
Let these ehriekera shut up, then. Their
howls against Prussian barbarity, while they
honor Sherman and deify Sheridan, ought to
choke them. History will pillory in eternal
shame both Prussian and Yankee for the many
deeds of causeless blood and rapine that stain
their name, bnt there will be grades in her con
demnation. Bazcilles will not invoke her sharp
est censure while she has tho names and horrors
of Atlanta and Columbia as an inspiration for
her pen. Tho Prussian brnte who ordered the
burning of the former, will bo clearly outranked
by the Federal brute who applied tho torch to
the latter.

The Columbus Fair.
Oar paper to-day contains a “Macon Tele
graph supplement programme" of the Great
Georgia Fuir, commencing 1st November next
We mean to say a portion of our edition will
contain it, for the Columbus men did not send
us enough by about two-thirds for our daily
edition. j.'u..-/. |
Tho Colnmbus people, who (supplements ex
cepted) never do things by halves, are making
extraordinary preparations for the Fair. They
boast of tbe finest grounds in the Southern conn-
try : and besides the vast display of agricultu-
tnral and mechanical products, stock, etc., etc.,
they have prepared a series of lively amuse
ments for every day, including tournaments,
base ball matches, regattas on tbe rivsr, tub
races upon the same raging stieam, during
which a number of parties have promised to go
over the dam, shooting, trotting, racing and
plowing matches, including a grand mule race,
in which the spaed of Georgia under a mixed
administration of white and black radicals will
be strikingly illustrated.
In addition to the foregoing, Columbus prom
ises to 6how us denizens of the rural districts
how to nse roller skates. The display of fancy
and blooded stock, from the entries already
made, will be very fine. To crown all, General
Robert Toombs will deliver the annual address,
and the publio is always snro to bava come thing
new and striking from that wonderful man.
We have no doubt Columbus will be thronged
on the occasion, bnt the directors pledge them
selves that all visitors shall be handsomely ao
commodated. 8 access to the Fair.
How John Ball Manages American
.Snobs.
The Toronto (Canada) Telegraph ridicules the
idea that Morton or iany other shoddy snob of a
Radical politician will bnng John Bull to book
on the subject of the Alabama claims.' The ed
itor evidently knows tbe crowd by heart. He
b.ij-h :
“Every American Minister starts to England
with a ‘firm policy in regard to the settlement
of the Alabama claims. ’ When he arrives there
the policy that in Washington was so firm weak
ens and decays, just as a plant from the torrid
zone wilts in the cold earth in Greenland. The
minister visits the nobles in Pioadilly, and be
gins to think himself a god with a bell on He
tasteth of the roast beef and drinketh of the
strong beer of Qld England, and forgetteth the
Aujtricao people, whose dearest interest he sac
rifices for good dinners. 1 Then the American
people howl for his return. These things have
happened to Reverdy Johnson and Mr. Motley,
and they will happen to Mr. Morton, if wo may !
judge by his antecedents. Wo give him a three
months’ sojourn in London.”
Rocr.ii on the Bishop.—At a recent meeting
of the British Association for the Advancement
of Solence, an English bishop closed a sarcastic
speech against the Darwinians by turning to
Professor Huxley, their leading representatives,
and blandly asking, in the presenoe of the large
audience: “Is the learned gentleman really
willing to have it go forth to the world that he
believes himself to be descended from a mon
key? - ’ Professor Huxley rose and replied in
his quiet maimer: “It seems to me that the
learned Bishop hardlyappreeiated onr possition
and duty as men of science. We are not here to in
quire what we would prefer, but what is true.
The progress of science from the beginning bss
been a conflict with old ptejudices. The origin
of man is not a question of likes and dislikes,
to bo settled by consulting the feelings, bnt it is
a question of evidence, to be settled by strict
scientific investigation. Bnt, as the learned
bishop is curious to know my state of feeling
upon the snbject, I have no hesitation in saying
that, were it a matter of. choice with me (which
clearly it is not) whether I should be descended
from a respectable monkey, or from a Bishop
of the English Church, who can put his brains
to no better uso than to 'ridicule science and
misrepresent its cultivators, I would certainly
choose the monkey.’’ 11 ■' • ■ • -

The Cincinnati Enquirer gives this reminis
cence of the election—the dark sido of the pic
ture; “One of the interesting scenes at tbe
second ward polls yesterday was the knocking
down of a white man by a big, greasy, black
negro. The event occasioned much merriment
among tho Republican electors, and the negroes
who witnessed it grinned until tho glistening
of their ivory fairly made the sunlight pale.”

Condition or Crops.—Frpm prominent plant
ers in different parts of the oounty, we gather
rather unfavorable reports in regard to tho
gathering of tho present crop,' and the plant
ing of small grain. Owing to the late protraot-
ed and heavy rains, comparatively little has
been done in this respect. Though the yield is
good, better than for many years, the freedmen
have manifested great indifference and sloth
fulness in gathering their crops. Very little
corn has been housed, and some cotton fields
have hot yet been pioked over the first time,
consequently the late rains have inflieted seri
ous damage to crops.

The Cotton Crop.—Tho yield of cotton, in

several years; bat the price is so low, planters
tell us that, it will not pay ont. Notwithstand
ing a good deal has been &olJ in this market the
present season, we seo but little evidence in the
prosperity of trade. The money is going North
and West' to pay for guano and provisions.
Such are tho results of the b.td policy of plant
ing all cotton. . ,
The Thomasville Herald says: • •
The preliminary trial of John T. Toylor, for
the murder of James McCord was held in the
Court House on last Saturday. Hall and Weav

of trial had been gone through, the defendant
was committed to j ail. In about two hours after
the Sheriff loft him, as he, or any other man
would have ihon^ut. safe, ho broke jail and
made escape. With him was a negro placed
there nnder a peace warrant. They were furn
ished with an anger and rope, by which they
bored through the roof, tied the rope to a rafter
and let themselves to the ground. They were
immediately-pursued in all directions, but to no
avail. Nothing direct has been heard from
them yet.
The War atul Cotton Prices.
l!he New York Tribune talks very sensibly on
this subject as follows:
While every week of European war and busi
ness derangement bnoys the hopes of the
wheat-grower, and sustains his price, in the
same ratio is cotton depressed. . The declara
tion of hostilities in July, followed by the
amazing vigor of the Prussian advance and the
collapse of tbe French Brmies,.has made it more
and more certain that thousands and thousands
of spindles must cta-se to run ; that millions
who had money to buy cloth last year will have
no money this year. Navigation beoame tim
orous and capital ovor-cantiou?. The result is
just what all the Sonth feared—cotton hardly
over a shilling a pound - in fact, less than 12j
cents, gold. It is now' qnite well ascertained
that cotton gives no profit worth mentioning
when the price goes below .15 cents, and none
at all when only 10 is the price of good mid
dling.
At the New Orleans Fair in April the cost of
a pound of cotton was discussed, and the con
clusion reached that on the best allnvial soils, in
a good season, and with close management, ten
cents will make a pound. But on the average
upland, and with the average economy, the
plantor loses who does not receive fifteen.
Southern prosperity, which for two years has
gone beyond Ml precedent in the days of the
old regime, has received a blow; the planter is
disheartened; the merchants are afraid to buy,
and Southern goods are gathering dust in the
lofts of New York warehouses. ,
Wo have again and again counselled the cot-
ton-growing States that a devotion snch as they
have given to a single product,- for marketing
which they must look to foreign countries, is
bad economy, and can result in do lasting and
permanent thrift A community that lives by
cotton only, or wheat only, or tobacco, or
rico, or sugar, will run over a great surface with
a low and exhaustive tillage. Nothing is return
ed to the soil for crops taken off. Prosperity
is measured by dollars that cotue over-seas—
not by such true tests as the condition of roads,
houses, bridges, chnrohes and stock. Aforeign
market is a precarious market. When it is good,
it throws abundance of spending-money into
the planter's pocket, and he scatters it for things
that perish with the using. He buys a saddle-
horse from Kentucky, a carriage in New York ;
his family indulge in expensive silks, rare
ohina, and velvet carpets.
Then comes a crash; the merohant has ad
vanced several thousands on a crop that hardly
pays for picking, and holds a mortgage on the
land. Expenses must be redncod, the old lux
uries are partly abandoned, and retrenchment
throws a gloom over the family and broods over
the neighborhood. Another year the prico goes
up, and wiih it the profusion of living. Thus agri
culture, instead of proceeding with the wise
calmness and grand uniformity of nature, be
comes a speculation, almost a game. If the
planter becomes a gamester, what wonder
that the merohant, the lawyer, the politician
follows in his wake, and the whole social fabric
is convulsed by a sudden .telegram from Lon
don. Cannot onr Southern brethren see that a
composed, well based, established, yet progress
ive civilization is inconsistent with their mis
placed confidence in a single product ? aid will
they not take a lesson from the gloomy experi
ence of this year, and no* longer prop all their
hopes on a ootton bale ?
The Russian Mystery.
London, October. 10, 1870.—The repeated
denial of any. offensive intentions against Tur
key nud the continued accumulations ot troops
and munition of war on tho Russian frontier
towards Germany excite daily more and more
concern in well informed ciroles here.' The
Russian journals yesterday received are full of
hostile comments on the coarse of Bismarck
and of Germany.* The Moscow Gazette is pari
ticnlnrly clear and bitter.' It counsels Russia
to take no immediate action, but to prepare to
take fiusl action,: “to do once what will not
need bo done twice.” It points out the fact by
the defeat of France the “Polish delusion has
been di.-pclJed forever ;” and adds, “Have we
not also a German delusion, which also .'in the
right moment shall be dispelled-the, too, like
wise forever ? The West aocute, tbe South will
follow simple laws of fate.”—Jleruld.

ABOUT THE WAR
General Be WimpflVn Telia bow the
erossians lild U.
The means whioh have made the Prussians
successful in the open field do not apply to
fortresses, in attacking which they have had
few successes. General De Wimpffen, who
succeeded Marshal McMahon at Sedan, attri
butes all Prussian victories to the superiority
of their artillery even more than to the superi
ority of numbers. He says: “Oar hollow pro
jectiles burst at between 2,000 and 2,400 me
tres, while those of the enemy reached 1,000
farther. Consequently, their artillery-men,
calm and skillful, rectified their fire as if they
were in a polygon, and easily succeeded in de
stroying onr material. I saw in tho wood of La
Garenne three pieces placed there by the officer
in command, whioh he was obliged to with
draw, because their inefficiency was obvious,
and because it was equally clear that they would
be dismounted in three or four , shots by tbe
Prussian guns, placed beyond the rango of tho'
Frencbfiro. The Prussians boiug a wsre of thebu-
periority of their artillery over the French, have
filled their armies with formidable field batterios.
The fact is to be remarked that they cever
engage their infantry before having crushed
their adversaries under a storm of projectiles.
Their gunners do no not, liko most, of tho
French, hurry and aim carelessly; they never
amuse themselves by firing at an uncertain
point; bnt they shoot with a well defined and
determined purpose. The German army is
better disciplined than the French and obedi
ent. It manoeuvres with more order and uni
son, and rarely deviates from the line traced
out for it. In marching it takes precautions
not to ba surprised, and so easily takes advan
tage of an adversary so negligent as the Freneh
are in that respect. Their troops habitually
skirt the road in small parties close together,
leaving the highway itself for the artillery and
baggage-wagons, in an order analogous to that
of a battalion in battle, the companies of which
at the same level would be in column. This
method may be more fatiguing on plowed lands,
but the march is effected all at once, and the
formation in line is more rapid.
In spite of all this, “the General believed
that France might still get the better of the
Prussian armies by not delivering any gTeat
battles, garnishing the ramparts of Paris with
heavy marine and siege pieces, and placing
sharp-shooters a little behind the detached forts
in field-works seeking by all means to keep the
bombardment at a distance from the capital, so
that tho inhabitants might gradually become
habituated to that terrible necessity. Also,
some corps of troops shonld be scattered on the
fiauks of the enemy, and coming to the aid of
the guerrillas, not able to deliver great combats,
but to worry and crush small bodies, to pass
between the enemy’s lines, to destroy the rail
ways, blow up bridges at all points where the
adversary is to be fonnd, carry off the horses
and vehicles behind the Prussian columns ; fin
ally, and in one word; abandoning the system of
a great war for that of a little one, carried on
incessantly and without mercy.”

Columbia, October 8, 1S70.
To General M. C. Butler.
My Dear General : Your communication,
asking mo to giro yon an account of what trans
pired at the interview I had with Governor
Scott in 1868, reached me on my return home
day before yesterday, and, in accordance with
your request, I beg to make tho following state
ment: A few days after tho murder of Ran
dolph, I was requested by Governor Scott,
through a friend, to call on him, which I did
on tho following day. As np one but Governor
Scott and myself were present at this interview,
I shall not repeat what was then said, and will
refer only to what passed at a subsequent meet
ing. By request, I called again on Governor
Scott, at bis house, on the night of Tuesday,
October 27th, accompanied by two friends. In
the conversation that ensued, I told Governor
Scott that as Grant's election was now rendered
nearly certain, the vote of this State would not
affect the general result, but that our people
would EC*.'.'... down much more quietly if the
vole of the State shonld be cast in favor of the
Democratic candidate, and that I regarded it of
great consequence in the interest of peace that
such should bo the case. To this Gov. agreed,
and after further conversation he made the fol
lowing pledges: First, that he would use his
influence to make the State go Democratic.
Second, that he wonld endeavor to induce a
sufficient number of the oolored members of the
Legislature to resign, so that the whites migtt
secure a strong representation in both honses-
Third, that he would appoint to office, when
ever he could do so. snch men as were re com
mended by the Democratic party. And fourth,
thathe would issue a proclamation commending
the action of the executive committee, and call
ing on his party to exercise the same spirit of
conciliation and forbearance as tbe Democratic
party had been urged to do iu the address of
their executive committee. This proclamation
was written (as I was subsequently informed)
by one of the gentlemen who were present at
interview; was signed by Governor Scott, and
published on the 27th of October.
As Governor Scott has broken faith with me,
I no longer regard the commnnioation he made
as confidential. You are, therefore, at liberty
to nse tho letter as you may please. I am very
truly yours, Wade Hampton.
The Charleston Courier says that the Radicals

this letter from being read, bnt it was read by
candle, and many of the colored auditors came
forward and pledged their support to Batler.

reached ns, that Gen. Robert E Leo the h.
triot, the great Chieftain, the humble and coa

sad and unexpected bereavement, we deem it &
and proper, that on this, his burial day «
shonld give expression to our feelings of pm
and anguish in unison with the universal thob
of distress which beats in every Southern hen*

A Northern Tribute to Hen. l,ee.
The Cincinnati Enquirer pays the following
handsome tribute to Gen. Lee:
Tho world knows of his virtues and his pri
vate worth, and the men who have commanded
armies oan bear witness to his valor and skill
as a man of arms. He was the great General
of the rebellion, and compared with him the'
bloody Corporal who sits in the White House
to-day sinks in the scale as wonld a John Bal
four of Burley, if weighed with Miltiades. It
was his strategy and superior military knowledge
which kept the banner of the South afloat -so
long, and tbe campaign of the Wilderness, the
defence of Richmond, and the bold advances
into Maryland and Pennsylvania, which only
failed because of insufficient numbers, estab
lished him long before the close of the war ns
one whom the powerful press of England might
well proclaim “the Great Captain ot the Age."
There is no man so bigoted to-day as not to be
lieve that if Grant had commanded the ill-pro
vided, half-fed army which stood like a wall of
lire aronnd Richmond, and the command of
that grand army which went down into the Wil
derness could have been given to Lee, the flag
of the Union would have floated over the Con
federate Capital long before it did.
Bad Showing fob New York Rads.—The
New York Commercial Advertiser (Rad.) throws
a bucketful of cold water on the prospects of
its party in that State next month. It says:
Ever since Fenton oommenoed to use the Re
publican party for his own personal ends, from
that time to the present tbe Republican party
has been infected with the Fenton rot. Judg
ing from the symptoms manifested in various
seotions of the State, we ore foroed to say that
the patient is in n very bad way. We say this
at the expense of being charged with giving the
oold shoulder to the Republican party. In these
days of reckless lying some body ought to have
courage to tell the truth. If some good iriend
of General Grant would only have the courage
to speak the truth to him, it would be produc
tive of much good, but it is unfortunate for the
President that he is surrounded by obsequious
flatterers without brains and without honesty.
Mobton, Grant’s new minister to England is
‘some” on grammar. He writes for Bonner’s
Ledger, and in one of his latest articles we Had
the following sentence:
The stove had been taken dnt of tha eat, end
in tbe middle where R had stood the neats ran
lengthwise, instead of cronswjse, in -the usual
wkv. I laid down with my head, to the rear,
and my feet forward, on the long side seat, and
the Professor laid down an the seat, with
his head to the front, which brought onr Teet
together. .
