The G eorgia "W'eekly Telegraph and. Journal & MIessenger. Telegraph and Messenger. MACON, OCTOBER 25, 1870. Tlte Time Will Come. Tho Courier-Journal makes the prediction that it will not bo over-long before the Radical defamers of Robert E. Lee—the “yellow-foo*. d Tdtes," who have assembled about the grave <•- tho great Virginian to munch and rattle the dry bone3 of the Confederate skeleton which they picked fleahless years ago, but which they keep hid in a convenient dark closet to bring forth to terrify the groundlings on occasion—will swear that he was purest and best of men. lie time will come when they will parade that.skele ton in the market-places, put it on wheels and dress it round with flag?, and fear it and defame it not anv more. A party which sedulously cul tivates the hatred of nine millions of its own countrymen, is pretty sure, some timo or an other, to get into a foreign war, and whenever it does—when Boston is blockaded by a foreign fleet, and New York harbor is shut up by pre cautionary obstructions—when foreign troops and foreign gold are ponred like quicksilver in to flrfi country—tho dismal howlers who aro now striving to reduce the nationality and the patriotism of the people to a beggarly handfull of placemen, plunderers and bondholders will begin to hedge. A government so administered is never safe. It is impossible to believe that it can be safe. Its only safety lies in the over throw of the gang of maliguauts who have ent the throat of the Constitution, who have cut the throat of the Treasury, who have cut the throat of the Union, and who would proceed with the work of murder upon the liberties and the free spirit, the peace and happiness of tho people. Bakes akd Breckinridge.—General Breckin ridge and General Binks'met tho other day at tho Burnet House, in Cincinnati. The two had not met for ten years. They were young mem bers of Congress togother fifteen years ago. They aro old friends. One wore the blue, the other tho gray. Both were leaders in tho great Civil war, but on opposite sides. They met, after all the vicisitudes of the last decade, cordially, and Banks is now at Lexington, the guest of Breckinridge. The illustration is as pleasant as it is instructive, and ought to show the red- hot chaps that there is not nearly so much fire and brimstone among sensible people as they think. General Banks is a most amiable and accomplished man, and a most liberal politican. [LouitviUe Courier-Journal. “Praps.” Bnt he ba3 a deuced queer way of showing his liberality. If he has ever failed to vote for any measure devised by Radical malice and meanness for the degradation and injury of the Sonth, we have failed to note tho exception. General Breckinridge may count himself fortnnato if Banks don’t go hack home and tell a pack of lies both on him and the peo ples of Kentucky. This is the general Southern experience of hospitality shown to Bank’s sort. We don’t drill with those the C. J. calls the “red-hot chaps," bntwe do think it ha3 slopped over this time. Pay Ho Taxes. The Norfolk Journal says that in Prince Ed ward county twelve hundred negroes have been returned by the Sheriff as delinquents for tho payments of their taxes; in other words, two thirds of the African race contribute nothing to the support of tho expenses of the State and county in which they live. It is inferred from this that the same is the fact in most of the Other connties in Virginia, if not in all. Tho Jonrnal from which we quote, remarks: Few of the negroes own land or any property assessed for taxation, the only taxes which they are required to pay being poll tax, and wo sea that they cannot pay this, or will not. In 18G8 the negroes paid bat forty thousand dollars into the State Treasury, or about ten cents a head, and we very much doubt if they pay a larger average now, if so great a sum. Bnt these pnblie spirited, thrifty citizens do a deal of Radical votiDg, which probably should bo counted os an offset. If they send loil men from Cape Cod and Skowhegan to Congress and the Legislature to legislate for Virginians, who bnt “rebels" and “traitors” would offer no objection? Garibaldi akd Booth.—Says the New York Season: “Garibaldi, the artistic fresco painter, who decorated Booth’s theater, sent in a bill lately for a piece of work. The bill was for one thousand dollars; Mr. Booth sent for Garibaldi and told him ho could get the work done, if not as satisfactorily to the connoisseur, just as good for the general public, for a price not exceed ing four hundred dollars. “Ah, si Signor,’ Said Garibaldi, “I can go to zee Bowery and see Hamlet by same author-os yon play, same words as yon speak for twenty-five cents,-bnt if I want to see yon play Hamlet, I pay one dollar and fifty cents, and I do zee latter and so does zea whole country. Those that can ap preciate zee Hamlet yon cm play can appre ciate zee fresco work Garibaldi paints.’ Booth knocked under.” Litpikcottfok November.—We have received by mail, from the publishers, this magazine for November.

A Sweet Adieu.—The following letter was found in the hand of a captain, who bad been killed at the battle of Woeflh : “Ms Dear Pa : Since yon are gone, I never coase to think of you. It is so hard that I can not seo and embraco yen every morning, bnt I hope that God may preserve your health and that you will soon return and kiss your child.— I behaved very woll in order to make mother feel yonr absence lees. Adieu, dear pa; Ikies yon tenderly. Your little daughter, who loves you. Marguerite.” Quoting this, tho Missouri Republican says; “The French captain evidently experienced joy in the hoar of his last trial in the sweet words of love written by bis child, whom he wa3 destined never more to see. He closed his eyes for tho last time on tho field of honor, with her sweet letter in his hand.” In tho spring ofl 869, when all the so-called M. C.'.i from Alabama were Radicals, Smith, the’present Radical Governor, and a candidato for re-election, wrote a letter declaring tha with one exception they wore all “nnprincipled scoundrels.’’ Now one of these “ scoundrels” is up for re-election in Smith's own district, and Smith is helping him with all his personal and official weight. The question may be an im pertinent one, bnt we should really like to know the difference, if any, between Smith and his “ scoundrel” candidate ? The <*OI<l Flag” Again. Shall wo never stop getting into hot water about the “old flag?” What connection there is between the venerable banting and Agricul tural Fairs we have never been able to see, bnt it really does seem as if there was down here at least. Last year the Fair managers inourred I the everlasting di.-p!oasuro of the virtuous For- , uey and that ancient negro killor, the “loil” ! -Re' insoD, surnamed Solon, by not having the I • vid flag" floating over their show, and now the I sumo thing happens at Atlanta. Here the “old I flag” was not np because the Fair managers couldn’t seo first, what it had to do with their hogs, and horses, and cows, and sheep, and ag ricultural implements, and wagons, and orops, etc., etc., and second, because there was no en thusiastic Toodles among thorn who kept one at home as something exceedingly “ handy to have about tho house.” Bnt at Atlan ta tho case seems to have been different. There teas an “old flag” flying one day, and then the next day the President of the Society ordered it down, and then some gentlemen said they thought that wouldn’t do, as it might hurt feelings and spoil sport, and so the President reconsidered and np went the “old flag” i-gain with a three times three, and n hip! hip! hur rah (presumably) from the countless thonsonds in attendance at tho Fair. Well, why not let the “ old flag ” wavo away as bravely as the best ?. It doesn't represent the Radical party — though they pretend it does. To ns it symbols the sen timents and recalls tho days of Washington, an Jefferson, and Jackson and tho other Fathers. It doesn’t mean blood, and war, and misoiy, and party misrnle, tyranny and corruption, though it has been made to do the bidding of all these devils. It means ponce, freedom and unity— equal rights, and every other blessiDg that bad men have robbed ns of. It stands for the Con stitntion and tho Equality of tho States, and by the blessing of God it will ono day wavo over a land where these aro grand and enduring real ities once more. Therefore, we ask, why not let the “old flag” wave, even though there may not be any very close connection between it and an Agricultural Fair? That tho public may seo what a mus3 tho “old flag” has kicked np at Atlanta, wo extract the following from a communication from the President of the Society, in the Atlanta Intelli- gencor of yesterday, explanatory of his action, and also telling what he thinks of the request of the aforesaid gentlemen “alleged to be Dem ocrats:” That “the flag of onr own Government was excluded” is false. The flag of the United States is still over the tent for exhibition of some of the articles, and it wa3 my express or der not to remove it from “amid tho national ensigns of France, Great Britain, Prussia. Aus tria and other countries.” * The United States flag was hoisted withont anthority of the committee, by persons unau thorized, and, therefore, the act was simply void, and os if it had never been done. As to the request published in the Era, and signed by fifteen persons, alleged to be “Dem<v crata,” I have simply to say, I am satisfied some of those persons signed that request with ont due reflection as to the impropriety of their act; and interfering with an invariable custom and rule of the Society, have created unneces sary difficulties, and which due reflection, per haps, might have avoid ed. Somo of them have been notorious for in flammatory attacks upon the reconstruction acts and gevemment of tho United States. But I avoid a discussion farther of that request. My conservative course os to the reconstruction acts was denounced and opposed. My allegiance to the Constitution and government of the United States is beyond question, bnt I nm a Democrat and unflinchingly oppose the Radical parly. ’ I am unbouglit and ifnpurrhaseable, and so long as I retain the position of President of the State Agricultural Society, it shall not be run by, or dictated to by intermeddlers of the Radical party. We print, also, the following correspondence as part of the history of tho old flag’s tribula tions. It is an inexpressible consolation to know that replacing the flag saved the Fair from the overwhelming misfortune of beiDg “ent” by Bnllock: By Telegraph from Oglethorpe Park,) October 20, 1870. f To Jlis Excellency, Gov.

Rufus. B. Bullock. All Right How. A J Bullock's organ of yesterday, says: Gov. Bullock, accompanied by his Secretary, Col. Atkinson, visited tho Fair Grounds on yes terday, and inspected - alt the buildings, ma chine depots, etc., and we learn was very much pleased with the armegtrateni and display. Now the Fair is al! right. Its bonnd to get 0T6I its “old flag” and other troubles, now. OH Blit de music, mine heart ish not broke. TIIE GEORGIA PRESS. Sweet potatoes are “flush” in Columbus at 75 cents abusheL We quote as follows from the Columbus Sun, of Wednesday: Sale of Factory Stock.—Yesterday, Ellis & Spencer, auctioneers, made the following bona fida sales: Nineteen shares Eagle and Phenix Manufacturing Company stock—$100 shares— 10 at $06 50 and 9 at $97 per share; 6 shares Mascogee Manufacturing Company stock—$100 shares—3 at $90 and 3 at $91 per share. Considering the low prioe of cotton and the scarcity of money, these prices show a high ap preciation of onr manufacturing stock. A recent trip into Alabama, as far as the Court-house of Pike county—a distance of 8. r > miles—revealed to ns the fact of great tardi ness in gathering the small crop of cotton made. In our travel we saw many fields from which not a boll had yet been picked. Inquiring the canse, we learned that the low price to which tho staple had declined, had so disheartened the negro laborer, who, in most instances, had an interest in the crop, that it was with great diffi culty he conld be induced to pick ootton. Many expressed fears that, from this cause, a large portion of the small crop made would be lost in the field. We find, too, on examination of onr exchanges from the different parts of the cot ton region, that this feeling on the part of la borers, is not confined to the localities men tioned above, bnt that it is general among la borers, who hnve beon croppers, all over the cotton region. Wo qnote as follows from tho Columbus Snn, of Thursday: • What They Do.—Tho different manufacto ries in this city give daily employment to over 1,500 people, and indirectly support 3,000. <■ Encouraging—We are informed upon com petent authority that there is not a house in tho city which is not occnpied or engaged. Managers of State and County Election.— We are informed upon good nirhority that John Peabody, Esq., and Mr. B. F Coleman have been appointed by Ordinary Doer, and sent np for confirmation. For the other three mana gers, the Radical caucus, on Monday night, re commended the appointment of Messrs G. W. Chapman and J. E. Webster and Tarver (col’d.) What we can do.—A letter just received from one of tho largest Northern merchants states that the Southern manufacturer can drive tho Northern one from the market, in many re spects, if ho had the money and perseverance. The roason is cheap goods—yarns, etc., can bo so cheaply manufactured here. If oheap goods, why not fine ones. Very Appropriate —The people of Lee coun ty, Alabama, in public meeting at Opelika, have resolved to wear on their left arms, for thirty days, the badge of monming as a token of re spect for the memory of Gen. Lee, and sorrow for his death. The county was named after the immortal Sonthern leader. A Safe Bet.—Two old topers were talking to gether yesterday. One wa3 bragging abont the quantity he drank, when the other remarked: ‘Til bet one hnedred million dollars that yon haven’t drank a drop to-day that some one else has not paid for.” The bet was not taken.

She was badly braised, and the Times says serious fears are frit for her reoovery. She was in company with three gentlemen, on the way to a wedding. We blush to say, the gentlemen were so ungtfl- Unt as to esoape from the vehicle and leave the lady to take care of herself. The residence of Colonel James F. Dowdell, near Aubnrn, Alabama, was burned on Saturday right last. The fire first took in the kitchen which stood near the dwelling. The fire occur red abont ten o’clock, and wo3 discovered too late for the persons present to save more than the furniture in the main body of the building. There were three cases of sudden death from apoplexy, in Covington and vicinity last week— Dr. £. H. Pringle, Miss Catherine Wright and * negro man.

Tho Constitntion also has the following: Some of Our Guests.—We had a call this had stopped he went back a short distance and morning from Mr. Chas. H. Knapp, and H. G. Tlie II. s Rampant. Verily they are. They never were on such a bender in this good State of Georgia, before. Robbery and rascality, official and personal, ride on the topmost wave. The information daily received from Atlanta shows a state of affairs even worse than we ever anticipated. Armed with weapons expe rience has shown him to be most potent in con- qnering legislative stubbornness, Bnllock is pushing through most of the measures he and his co-conspirators have determined upon as necessary to their ends, and tho thorough spoli ation and ruin of the State Bills that a month since were slaughtered, remorselessly, now pass almost withont comment. This is particularly the case if there is any money in them. If they are rich in a grand grab at the Treasury, and strong with the vile arts and influences of a shameless lobby, through they are rushed, in defianoe of all roles, and of every principle and preoedent of parliamentary and statute laws. It has come to pass, in deed and in foot, that Bol lock and the buzzards of the lobby do just as they like with the carcass of poor old Georgia. They torn it this way, and that way, and every way that shows a spot not quite picked to tho bone. In their expressive slaog, they “ran” the Legislature completely. How it is managed, begins to appear. The paragraph from the Constitntion, which we copied yesterday, abont those bonds to which the Treasurer’s name has been forged, and the great bnlk of which it says Bn’lock still holds possession of, sheds a flood of light on the mys tery. Does any sane man believe Bnllock would stick at anything short of positive entan glement in the meshes of the penal code to ac complish his evil purposes? Tf he holds these bonds in bis posession would he hesitate to mako almost any nso of them to clear obstacles from his path and bring him to the goal of his malig nant desires? Urged forward by tho wolfish greed inborn and characteristic of his kind, and a deadly hate of thoso he rales and seeks to ruin, would ho be likely to listen to any re monstrance, or heed any warning? Given the fact that he controls those fo/ged bonds, and who is at a loss to account for the carnival of corruption and rascality cow in fall blast at Atlanta? It seems almost a mockery to ask the majority of the Agency to look Into this matter, bnt we do call upon the honest men, Democrats and Republicans in that body, to ventilate it. We know there are such, and we feel sure they will do their duty. Let not the corruptionists of the ring, and the shameless creatures in both HonseB who have sold themselves like sheep to the ring, get away from Atlanta withont at least attention being called to the manner in which, and the source whence their pockets, have been ■tufted and their palma greased. Honest men of the Agency—and we know and honor yon all—we aball expect some light for the people on this business between now and midnight Tuesday next discovered that an unknown white man had been ran over and killed. Freights.—We learn that the Charlotte, Co lombia and Augusta Railroad Company receiv ed in this city, yesterday, over its road, twenty- seven car loads of freight from points North for Ggprgia, Tennessee and Alabama. Bound to Get Rich.—The Columbus Enqui rer says a colored woman from Rnssell connty, Ala., was in that city Wednesday, who is the mother of eighteen children and is herself only a little over forty years of age. “Ten of the children are now living in the house with “dad and man ” The woman is now quite delicate —weighing only 2G3 pounds net. Her husband is not quite fifty, and weighs abont 125 pounds. The couple, with their tribe, have been very successful in farming this year, and brought to town a load of cotton yesterdny. Tho woman does all of her own honse-work, tho little nigs having all taken to the field with the old man.” Tho Constitutionalist has the following notice of the election at Hamburg, across the river in New Africa, on Wednesday: The Election in South Carolina.—Yester day an election was held in onr sister State across the Savannah river, for Governor, Lien- tenant Governor and members of the State Legislature, which, so far as we conld learn, passed off peaceably, and with good grounds for believing in the success of the Reform tick et. The order observed at the Hamburg pre cinct was undoubtedly due to the cool, deter mined bearing of the whiles, who were fully prepared to maintain their rights by force, if necessary. It appears, aa we are informed, that sometime since three hundred Winchester rifles were received in Hamburg, by Scctt’s par- tiZiins. and in the latter part of last week a ilis- pitch I roi%Columbia to nomo parties in Ham burg. inquiring if two thousand cartridges for tho rilli-s had come hand, was, by accid-nt, seen by some one of the Reform party; whereupon the whites of the vitpinity resolved, by common consent, to be prepared to meet force with force. In accordance with this determination, Eome seventy-five to one hundred of the best citizens of the connty came to the polling place with their doable barrelled guns, resolved to molest no man, nor interfere with any man's right to vote as he pleased ; bnt equally deter mined that no man should interfere with their rights. Hence the election passed off quietly. Colonel R. H. Ward, a prominent citizen of Greene connty, is seriously ill, and his recovery is donbtfoL The ginhonso of W. B.

How is that for high, com pared with Macon last year ? The citizens of Wilkes county have resolved to wear crape on the left arm for thirty days, as a mark of respect to the memory of General Lee. The Hon. Thomas Stocks, the first President of the Georgia State Agricultural Society, and who is now in his 85th year, is in Atlanta. The Constitution gives the following particu lars of tho death of Mr. William Brown, mem ber of the Legislature from Washington county: A 8udden Death —Wo have the sorrow of recording the sudden death, last night, of one of tho worthiest Democratic members of tbe Legislature, Mr. William Brown, of Washing ton connty. •*•• ' - He was found lying on the crossing between McBride’s and Keely’s on Whitehall street, abont eight and a half o’clock, r. m.

It runs over the St. Lonis and Iron Mountain Railroad, crosses the river at Belmont, then the Mobile and Ohio Railroad to Union City, thon the Nashville and North western Railroad to Nashville, then tho Nash- villo and Chattanooga Railroad. This is an important enterprise, and opens better and speedier communication with St. Lonis and the Great West. The distance ran from SL Lonis to Chattanooga, without change of cats, will be 524 miles. The contest for best performance in instru mental music (special) came off yesterday at 1 o’clock. The contestants were Mrs. Villepigue, of Macon, and Miss Cox, of La Grange. The Ofcnmittee were Mrs. Dr. Westmoreland, and Mrs. Dr. King. The instrument used was one of Knabe’s. Musical Selections from Travetore. Miss Cox gave evidence, by her playing, of a high state of cultivation, and delighted a largo audience by the brilliancy of her touch. Tbe premium, which was a beautiful set of pearls, was awarded to Mrs. Villepigue. The Sonth Carolina Election—IIow the Kegro Itatliculs Cherish Free Speech and Free liullots. We make the following extracts from an ar ticle in the Charleston Courier, of Friday, de scribing scenes and incidents of negro violence and intimidation on election day: FURTHER FROM WADMALAW. Several gentlemen arrived from Wadmalaw last evening, and corroborated tho statement published in tho Courier in the morning. They Siy that it was really dangerous for a white Re former to be present at tho polls, and that it was done due to the influences of Davis and Reed, who treated them with great courtesy, that they were not harshly dealt with. Tho crowd, armed to the teeth, seemed rampant for riot, and were goaded on by the women, who frequently exclaimed, “Kill them! kill them!” One of our informants says that ho saw several colored voters forced to open their ballot to tho inspection of apparent leaders, so that they conld judge whether they wefe right or wrong. COLORED MAN BADLY BEATEN. Still later information from Wadmalaw states that a colored Reformer was set upon by the excited crowd, kocked down and stamped und-_-r feet, and so badly injured in his chest and f »co that ke had to be carried into a store hard by and assisted. The crowd prowled around tha store, ottering all sorts of threats. As soon ns the Rev. Adam M. Jackson, the well-known Reform colored campaign orator, arrived on the ground, they immediately beset him as so many demons, and threatened to kill him. He was only saved by tho timely interference of one of tho gentlemen present, who dragged him into the chnrch. He was afterwards induoed to seek refuge in bis own home. Subsequently Hiram Fleming, one of the staunchest colored Reformers in tho State, at tempted to vote, when ho was threatened by soveral of the ringleaders—whoso names are known—that if he persisted in voting the Re form ticket, he would be taken into the woods and shot. He was rocghly handled by the crowd, and the ticket snatched from his hand and torn np. He, however, with great coolness and courage, obtained another ticket of the same kind, and boldly voted it. As soon os the lawless mob found what he had done and defiantly acknowledged, they rnshed around the church to the doors, und endeavored to take him out to carry ont their murderous design, swearing that they would have him if they had to gnard tha church for days. Dnriug Ihe en tire day the wildest confusion reigned, and it is not known whether Fleming is dead or alive. THE PART THE WOMEN BORE. gressional laws. The regular meeting did noth ing but discuss the resolution urging the State Central Committee to greater effort. This was regarded by some as an insnlt to the Central Committee. The resolution was finally referred to a committee appointed to oonfer with out siders. Finally the meeting adjourned withont nomination. Tours, October 21.—Rumors are contradic tory of the enemy’s movements on Loire. 'ihe impression is they have abandoned movements in this direction and are advancing in force to wards Normandy, where newer troops will op pose them.

Papers to-day publish reports made by de serters from Melz, to the effect that Bazaine was dead, and that Cranrobert was in command, and that hanger and pestilence prevailed in the city.

The Democratic Congressional Committet have issued an address, congratulating the party on successes in the recent elections, and urging the Democrats to a renewal of exertion. The Agricultural Department issnes the fol lowing* The increase in the-breadth of cottoi planted was estimated in July at 12 per cent The appearance of the crop on the first of Octo ber was reported as follows: Below an averagt in condition, in Mississippi 1 per cent; Alabama 4; Louisiana 8; Georgia 1; Tennessee 3. Abovt an average, in Texas 5 per cent.; Arkansas 5; Florida 2; Sonth Carolina 4; North Carolina 7. Combining the elements of acreage planted and the condition on the first of Ootober, the natu ral expeotaton and other circumstances being equal, would lead to a comparison with last yeai as follows: North Carolina 15 percent, increase; South Carolina 9; Georgia 5; Florida 9; Ala bama 8; Mississippi 10; Louisiana 10; Texas 30; Arkansas 15; Tennessee 1. This womd give a erop exceeding three and a half millions of bales. Bnt the indications of the season thu- far, and reports since Ootober 1, and the prub abilities 6f a favorable autumn for maturing and picking the top crop, do not prognosticate a return of the remarkably favorable experi ence of the past season. In 1869 discouragements and drawbacks ap peared with the plant in the spring and gradu ally disappeared daring the season, culminating in almost unexampled favor, with exemption from destroying frosts, blighting rains, insects and disease. The present crop was vigorous in early growth, and is “rnnning to seed" rather than boll. Then it was horned with drought in August and snbseqnentiy flooded with rain in September, and has endured vicissitudes unfa vorable to continued fruitfulness, as a general shedding of forms and oooasional rotting of bolls attest. The boll and army worms have been at work in plaoes/and rust is more or less prevalent in all the cotton states. The opening of later bolls is unusually well advanced in most places, and the last picking promises lobe light. These indications, instead of. pointing to an increase of a third of a million bales, render it probable that the present crop will be no larger than the last, and if the remainder of tho season should be very nnpropitions a redno- reductionof a quarter of million bales might result. Another month or two will determine whether the present erop shall ba lighter than three million of bales, or ran to three anda b»lf million. As predicted early in the season, the promise of an average crop npon the present area in cultivation bos reduced the price to 15 cents per pound, or to the very verge of profit able cultivation, and correspondents are already reporting the rain of planters who grew ootton exclusively and buy all their agrionitural sup plies. New Orleans, October 21.—Oapt. Henry, of tho steamer Mississippi, reports passing eleven wrecks from morning to evening on the Flori da coast. The Florida coast for 50 miles is strewn with general debris sf merchandises and wrecks of the vessels named Wm. Rath- bone, Jefferson Barden and Ida Fowler.
