Th.© Greoraiia. Weekly Telegraph, and, Jour-nal &; Messeno-er. Telegraph and Messenger. MAOON, NOVEMBER 1, 1870. The Late Agency. We proposed, hard as the task seemed, some fry to try and write an appropriate notice of the death of this concern. The Savannah Re publican, however, spares ns the trouble, and M this is one of onr lazy days, we gladly adopt its eulogy as our own. It is a precious consola tion to know that the editor has tried, at least to do the subject justice. Says the Republican: The Legislature of Georgia, partly elected in 1808, and partly appointed by a military com mission, after doing all the harm it could and plundering the treasury of every dollar within its reach, has finally adjourned. It is safe to say that so reckless, mercenary and corrupt a body was never before assembled in our State outside ofjthe penitentiary, It would have been » disgrace to Hayti or the Fejee Islands, and we thank God the responsibility of its existence rests not on the people of Georgia. They have contemned and despised thevile concern from the beginning, and, if they could have had their way ■with it, after taking out a few honest men, who remained in the vile concern with the vain hope of protecting the people against outrage and wrong, they would have long since sunk it to tho bottom of the Chattahoochee. Nothing but Radicalism could have spawned forth a progeny of such unadulterated rascality and wickedness. Slay we never see their like again. In fact we rifiail not, in this generation at least Such moral aloes can only bloom and exhale their dis gusting odors once in a century. Their work ended, these misrepresentatives sow return to their homes—such of them at least who have homes—and let the people whom they have injured, plundered and disgraced, treat them according to their deserts. The men who engaged in plots against the liberty and the welfare of the people and the credit of the State shonliRreceivo no countenance from those against whom they have raised their hands under the protection of Federal bayonets. They should l»e regarded as social outcasts, to fester and rot in their own infamy. Served Their l'arpose. The Columbia (S. C.) Phoenix says: Disarming the Mtt.ttta.—The Governor was waited upon by several of our citizens, yester day, and the condition of affairs seriously dis cussed. He expressed his earnest desire to preserve the peace, and promised to do all in his power to accomplish that end. The colored guard in charge of the State arms has been re moved, and the care of them turned over to the United States soldiers. Drilling and parading of colored companies, at a late hour of thenight, lias also been prohibited. We are informed that the captains of the dif* ferent militia companies in the district were served with an order from the Governor, yes terday, requiring them to return the arms is sued to them. This is a move in the right di rection, and will tend materially to allay the ex citement. It is presnmed the order has been extended throughout the State. Soott has oonnted himself in by the aid of his ragamuffin militia, and now has no further use for them. The swindle having been successful the Kn-klux disappear. The New York correspondent of the Chicago Tribune writesas follows: “Never in the history of New York bos anything been known like the present extravagance in dress, equipage and entertainments. The popular daughter of an ex-collector, married last week, was the fortu nate recipient of gifts valued, at the lowest esti mation, at $80,000. A country-seat on the Hudson, thoroughly famished; carriages and horses; a check for $10,000; a riviere of soli taire diamonds; and a coffee-pot of solid gold, for which the donors paid $2,000, were among the most expensive presents; while jewels, laces, and articles of vertn are said to have poured in until there was no room for more. A point-lace vail and fionnee, ranging from $500 to $1,500, have come to be regarded as quite indispensable accompaniments to the marriage ceremony and wedding ring.” A amm of San Francisco, who has been and is identified with the forwarding of Chi nese laborers to the Southern States, says that he total number of Chinamen sent across the continent is now about 2,000. They are en gaged in railroad work and on cotton and rioe plantations, the wages being $2G to $30 per month, gold, boarding themselves, or $16 to $18 receiving rations. The movement, how ever, is only in its infancy, and daring the com ing winter and spring it is expected that large numbers will be forwarded. ‘ Peace Seems to recede, judging from the telegrams this morning. We see as little hope now as ever for a cessation of hostilities. The Prussians have evidently got the Czar to promise “hands off,” and asaretnmthey will be blind when he stretch- esonthishand to seize Turkey. Englandhas only demonstrated her weakness when Continental matters are in question. She evidently counts for nothing Outside her home circle. It seems that the dance of death must go on to the bloody end. Some thoughtless editor, allnding to tho re cent earthquake, says: “The earth has mined her opportunity. If aho had opened and swal lowed Bntler, Fisk, Tilton, Snmner, Horace Greeloy, Cooke, Ben Wade, Robb, and Grant’s band of brothers-in-law, humanity would have blessed her for all time.” What does the editor suppose would become of the earth with snch a mixture as that inside of her ? Some people have a very loose way of talking. Some of Grant’s over enrions admirers led him up to a phrenologist in New York the other day, for the purpose of having his distinguished characteristics set forth. The phrenologist— who was blindfolded—flew into a passion and said that wasn’t any way to treat a man, and would have nothing to do withit. An explana tion showed that the man of science thought the boys were trying to fool him with a billiard ball wrapped up in tow. The question of right to reserved seats at concerts, which has caused a good deal of an noyance everywhere, was recently decided by one the Washington County (N. Y.) Court Judges, who held that all seats previously se cured by ticket were the property of the person for whom they had been secured, and might be occupied or allowed to remain idle for that par ticular entertainment at his or her pleasure. The Colorado (Texas) Citizen reports the death of David Cole, aged 54 years, at his resi dence, seven miles north of Alleytown, on Sun- day, the 2d. He was bora in St. Landry parish, Louisiana, and came to Texas in 1829. He participated in all the campaigns daring the war of 1835 and 1836, and was one of the three who captured Santa Anna in the latter year. The three companies of. artillery raised in New Orleans for the State milttia were reviewed by General Longstreet on Friday, accompanied by Mayor Flanders and Hon. L. T. Delassize, one of the oolored city officials. The Times aaya that most of the men reviewed were mem bers of the old Washington artillery, command ed, now, as then, by that able disciplinarian, Col. Squires. The Boston Journal gives the following in its report of the earthquake * “When the earthquake took place,” saida husband to his wire, “I felt my heartbeat so that I was frightened.” “Yes,” replied the dear creature, “it takes an earthquake to make your heart beat." And this couple have celebrated their silver wedding! The editor of the New York Mail spent last Sunday in the oountry with Nilsson. He says ahe is a jolly girl The Approaching .Election—Defeat f* Death. A Wo do not hesitate to declare it as onr solemn conviction that, if .the people of Georgia do not carry the election in December, they are rained beyond the slightest hope of redemption here after. This is a strong declaration, bat we be lieve it as honestly as we ever believed any thing in onr life. We have thought over all the consequences of defeat, and if there is any ill or disaster that defeat will not bring, we do not know what it is. Let such another Legisla ture as the one just adjourned meet again at Atlanta, and farewell to everything that makes a residence in Georgia, now, even tolerable. The people have been robbed and swindled to an alarming extent as it is, bnt if that curse comes upon them they will be stripped bare. The robbers will never stop until they have, stolen the last item of property owned in Geor gia. When the people oan no longer pay taxes, having nothing upon which a tax can be levied— then, and not till then, will the thieves call a halt. All this is just as sure to follow a Radi cal success in December, in our judgment, as that there will be an election at that time. We fear many of the people do not realize the appalling danger that confronts them. We fear that selfish, personal motives and reasons are blinding them to the imminenoe of the crisis. If they saw, as we see it, the awfnl rain that will follow defeat, they wonld fling self to the winds and know no watchword but 11 the State is in danger—save the State!” They would count sacrifices of pride, and judgment, and individual aspirations as trifles beneath contempt. If they realized, as defeat will make them realize, how deep is the depth to which a Radical trinmph will consign them, they would blush and shndder to think they had ever lost sight of it. We tell them, now, that defeat means death—death to all enter prise, all peace, all prosperity, and all hope of living in Georgia as men should live. From what we know of the designs of the Radicals in this State, we do not hesitate to charge upon them the fully matured purpose of making Georgia uninhabitable for all who will not eith er join them, or cease to war upon their policy. This is a grave charge, but we honestly believe it. If you ask npon what grounds we base this belief, we point to the Agency and its works since January last. What better evidence does any man three degrees removed from idiocy, wish than that? We point to Bollock’s character and acts, and to Blodgett’s crimestained career as evidence. They hate the whites of Georgia as men were never hated before. They are bold, desperate and thorough ly unscrupulous—greedy for money, bnt still greedier for revenge. They will never halt until they have not only beggared, bnt thorough ly degraded the white people of Georgia. They have a long account to settle with the virtue and respectability of the State for the manner in which their advances have been repelled, and their crimes denounced. While they live in Georgia they must wage an unrelenting war fare npon every decent man in it. Now what are the people doing, and what do they propose to do ? Will they give up Georgia to these creatures, or have they determined these creatures shall give up Georgia to them ? That question sums up the whole argument. If they are resolved upon the latter course, they must prove it by their acts. They have no easy task before them. Conning, and villany, and open fraud, and their own money are matched against them. They most lay aside every other bnsinesa bnt that of crushing Radicalism. They must resolve that defeat is death, and that they will not die. They must swear that victory shall be theirs, anyhow. They most make their preparations so thorough that nothing can off set or upset them. They must take every risk, and face every responsibility. They most, in one word, resolve to win, and march to that point over and through every obstacle. This, bnt nothing else, wiU win the fight. We ask every man who reads these lines to take strong hold on the same conviotion, and gird up his loins for the work before him. Men of Georgia, the hoar has come when yon can neither postpone nor avoid the issne. You are entering npon a contest that will decide, for this century at least, whether yon or the brigands who have plundered you for nearly three years shall leave the State— whether you or the stranger shall own and, enjoy the fair heritage your fathers won with their swords for you and your children. GEORGIA PRESS. Sumter Superior Court has been adjourned to the first Monday in November. The Americns Repnblican says: An old gentleman of this connty, over 80 years of age, married a lady who was not more than half a dozen years bis junior, abont ten months since, and a few weeks ago the wife pre sented her husband with a stout and healthy baby. We do not know that this is a child of promise, bnt we can vonch for there being “life in the old man yet.” Sylvester Roberts, a freedman employed by Mr. Anderson Riddle, of Washington connty, picked 479 pounds of clean cotton between sun rise and sunset, one day last week. Mr. M. H. Cullens, of Savannah, who was so seriously injured Monday, was Improving a little Tuesday. Of the trials and tribulations of the loil abont Savannah the Repnblican says: A Hard Case.—The Radicals of the ciiy have been in incubation for several nights, and se verely exercised over their nominations for the Legislature. It is understood that the utmost harmony does not prevail among the foul birds, there being several factions, ail polling in dif ferent directions. Ttere is first, the official faction, comprising the Federal office-holders, Robb, Clift and Seeley, being the leaders.— Then comes the “outs” faction, with two doc tors, Waring and Walsh, with scalpels in hand, insisting on carving out the whole work of the party. The negroes are also divided, but as a general thing oppose the carpet-bag office-hold ers. Some go with the doctors, but the great body favbr a third faction headed by Parson Sims, who insists npon distinctions of race and color, and wishes the blacks to make a straight ont-and-ont fight against the whites. He does not believe in white men, and thinks the ne groes ought to rale the country if they can. Such, according to onr understanding, is the sitnalion among these immaculate patriots, and one may readily suppose that np to this time they have failed to agree on their nominees. We have reason to believe, that Sims will whip the fight and secure the nomination of a pure African ticket for the Legislature, in which he will figure as a candidate for Senator. The Constitutionalist says Judge Andrews will hold Warren Superior Court this week. As this is the first Court which the Jndge has held in that connty within eighteen months, it 1b sur mised that his eyes aro well, and that the Ku- Klux are in attendance on onr Fair. The Colnmbns Son understands “that a diffi culty occurred at Georgetown, Ga., on Monday last, between R. J. Moses, jr., a young lawyer of this oity, and Major J. T. Flewellen, a plan ter of Quitman county, in which the former was shot and slightly wounded.” We clip the following items from the Carters- ville Express: - - - * Weather pleasant, and no frost so far to in jure vegetation. Cotton is doing well. A good crop will be gathered in this county. Our friend A. W. Mitchell of Atlanta, has sold his beantiful farm, near Adairsville, to a gentleman who has lived in Texas for the last fifteen years, bnt now returns to Georgia, buys land and expects to spend the balance of bis days in his native State. The Agency has really adjourned—no donbt about it now. The Atlanta Georgian says: The city is fast assuming its old appearance again. The bears, monkeys and pickpockets are getting out for other places. The Georgian has the following items : Over twenty thousand dollars exohanged hands at the races on Tuesday. Charles O. Johnson, Radical member of the Agency from Spalding connty, fired a pistol at a man on -Pryor street, at 2 o’clock yesterday evening. No harm done. Johnson was drank, and a policeman took him in oharge. The Atlanta Fair was not without results.— The Son says: A female infant, very likely, and wh ll .was left at the door of Mrs. Clarke at a late hour Tuesday night Mrs. Clarke disooveredthelit- tle foundling, and calling up the nearest neigh bor, Captain O. Powell, it was taken in out of the cold. The little 3tragler was placed in the hands of Judge Pittman yesterday, and he will endeavor to find some one who will adopt it, rather than let it go to tho alms-house. The Athens Watchman thinks that offering premiums for fine stock, open to the world—no matter howsoever liberal it may appear—is bad policy on the part of the managers of our State Fair. The practical effect of it is to bring onr own stock, reared nnder many disadvantages, in competition with the products of those sec tions that make stock-raising a specialty, and which results in giving the premiums to citizens of other States, instead of our own people— thus encouraging stock-raising elsewhere and discouraging it at home. And it matters not whether the stock be owned by Georgians or outsiders—the practical effect is all the some. It is bad policy to import into the State fine stock, instead of raising it. We would make an exception, however, in favor of breeding animals of fine quality, as their im portation ought to be enoouragecL We hope to see the premium list revised rnd altered in this respect Let all stock premiums be confined to citizens of the State, and to stock raised within the State, except such as may be intxoducedfor the purpose of improving domestic breeds.” Donn Platt on the Radical Congress, and its Raster, tbe Lobby. Down Piatt, who is the regular Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, the ablest Radical paper in the West, and a trooly loil brother himself, recently delivered a lectors on “Our National Capital”at Cincinnati. We give below his testimony as to the ignor ance, degradation and dishonesty of the Radi cal Congress, and how the lobby is its master. Wo regret exceedingly not having seen and published it sooner, so that the corruptionists of the Atlanta lobby might have provided them selves with some of the very powerful applian ces—with Radical Legislators—referred to. If it should please Heaven to enrse poor old Geor gia with another such gang as tbe majority of the body lately in session at Atlanta, we have no donbt tho New Orleans importation will be on hand. The whole heart of the country turns toward Washington. I wish I could stop there and say that was abont all there was in it, bnt we have the singular spectacle of the most .unmitigated scoundrels congregated that God ever permitted to walk the earth. Sitting in the gallery of either Honse, and looking down npon the mass of men who make the laws and steal your mon ey, one is struck with the uniform stupidity that prevails. There they are. You listen hour after hour to the most silly twaddle that men ever uttered. A Congressman never makes a speech without he launches the ship of State. He never says anything happens—it always transpires. He never debates. The entire barrenness of his mind wonld become so apparent that he wonld break down. He employs men to write his speeches whenever there is a great question np for discussion. That has been my business at Washington. I have written speeches for the average Congressman,- and very good ones, too, considering I didn’t know anything abont the subject, and he knew less. Not long ago an aver age Congressman came forward and delivered a most terrible ranting speech. It appeared in the Globe. Some time after another average Congressman wanted a speech, and the same identical speech was famished and delivered, and appeared in the Globe, although the gentle men were opposed in their views of the ques tion. [Laughter.] The speaker reviewed at considerable length what he termed an average Congressman, and then spoke of the members of the third honse of Congress, as he termed them—the lobbyists. He considered them a sweet-scented set of gen tlemen. Nearly all the measures originated in that branch of Congress, and could be pat through for money. It is composed of men of an average ran of mind better than that of Con gressmen. The question is often asked wheth er these men really bny np the Congressmen. The speaker did not know. Their bills go through, and those who go to Congress poor and come away rich could not get rich on their salary. He knew of an instance where a lobby ist was asked if he expected to get a certain measure through. The reply was, “Certainly; we have eleven millions stock, fifty thousand dollars, and the prettiest little quadroon from New Orleans you ever saw.” The measure passed one branch of Congress, and it came within fifteen minutes of being reached by the other when it adjourned. Ramie. From If. O. Times. | Recently an English honse forwarded to the Agricultural Department several samples of cloths manufactured by them from the fibre of this new product, which continues to absorb the attention of many Southern agriculturists. When properly cultivated, it has been found to grow in this State quite as thrifty as in its original soil—Java and India. The goods ex hibited were all of great excellence. Some were made entirely of ramie, while other speci mens were mixed goods of various kinds, with silk, cotton and wool. Tbe most noticeable of these fabrics were several substantial coatings, and likewise serges, made of pure ramie. The display also includ ed mozambiques, Italian cloths, etc., in which the warp was cotton and the weft ramie. The latteijwere very elegant, and quite equal in rich ness to silk. The thread made from ramie is much finer -than the best linen, while its lustre is well adap ted to the manufacture of superior tissues, such os lace, ribbons, dress goods, etc. At the great fair of the American Institute, held in New York in 1869, a case was on exhi bition in the silk department, containing sev eral bundles of the fibre. Besides, there were sixteen specimens of ramie cloth, of different oolors and of exquisite fineness. Sinoe that time considerable progress bas been made in the knowledge of its cultivation and value for manufacturing purposes. The crude fibre is worth, in Great Britain, abont ten cents per pound, and the manufactured silk from sixty to sixty-five cents. Previous to this time the only impediment to the snccessfnl cultivation of ramie was that it was necessary to gather and clean the fibre of the plant by hand. Bnt recently one of onr most ingenions citizens has perfected a ma chine for cleaning and extracting the fibre from the plant, which is soon destined to take the place of silk and cotton and linen. There is now a stock company in this city for the pur pose of promoting the growth and introduction of this new Louisiana product into market. A company is also -formed at Plaquemines, and several thousand acres will be planted this fall. No territory in the South is better adapted to the production of this new tissne plant than this State, which will soon add one more item to its many products. The Census of the Northwest. It appears by the census that the population of Iowa is 1,187,398; Michigan has 1,191,461. This is an extraordinary even thing between States with so large a number of people. Wis consin also has about 1,100,000. The North west in almost every State goes up into the mil lions. Ohio approximates to 3,000,000; Illinois, 2,050,000; Indiana, say, 1,700,000; and Mis souri 1,550,000. In these seven States there is certainly over 12,000,000 inhabitants, which Minnesota, Kansas and Nebraska will bring np to 13,000,000. In 1830, forty years ago, the whole United States did not have as large a population. In 1840 there were bnt four North* western States—Ohio, Indiana, Il linois and Michigan — and their popula tion was not one-fifth of what it is in the North-west now. There was then no Wisconsin or Iowa at all These great States have been entirely built in less than half a life time of a man. The annals of the world afford no such similar instance of growth. The popu lation of the United States this year, it is thought, will exceed 39,000,000. We therefore in these ten Western States have one-third of all the people of the country. It is safe to say that they will have more than half of the total population of this oountry when tire next census is taken in 1880. Truly, .^‘Westward the star of Empire takes its way.” We shall then be is a position with onr ten States to oat-vote the thirty-five other States that will then probably be in the Union.—Cincinnati Enquirer. BY TELBGE^lPH, WAR IN EUROl'E. London, Ootober 27.—Prince Napoleon pub lishes a letter contradicting the charges of the Daily News of his disloyalty to the Emperor and Empross. He denies having seen Bonrbaki or Boyer, who came from Bazaino to the Empress. The Frinoe repeated personally to the Empress his expressions of dovotion and fidelity. The Mayor of Verdnn indignantly refuses to surrender, and challenges the Prussians to come and take the town. The military situation on the Loire is un changed. Tho garrison at Metz shows increased aotivity. Tho .Prussians have been compelled to destroy the bridge at Arsur on tho Moselle as a precautionary measure, as the garrison makes damaging sorties at every opening. They also opened an artillery fire from the right bank of the Moselle, destroying the little villages which sheltered the Prussians. There is no doubt bnt that the French government will soon be com pelled to leave Toors. Arrangements are pro gressing to transfer the government headquar ters to Clermont. The Prussians are persever ing in the starvation policy at Paris and Metz. Fugitives from those cities are turned back. The English Ministry were without a reply from Prussia at noon to*day. The Ministry ac cepts the delay as showing an indisposition on the part of Prussia to an armistice. Tomas, October 27.—It is announced that the Prussians have at last granted Thiers a safe conduct to Versailles but no farther. Thiers declines acceptance as he must consult with the Paris authorities. No important military movements are announced. The weather con tinues stormy and is otherwise unfavorable to military movements. A large portion of the army of the Duke of Mecklenburg and Schwerin is moving rapidly towards Paris abandoning St. Quintin, also the movement on Amiens. The siege of Laferte is also raised. Totjbs, October 27.—It is said the Prussians withhold a safe conduct from Thiers, from fear of having the Parisians learn the true feeling throughout France. From all parts of the coun try come hopes that the government will accept no humiliating peace. The journals of this city are unanimous that the only hope for fair terms lies in an indefinite prosecution of the war.— The Prussian movement eastward, has stopped, and themarcbuponLyonscheckedby Garibaldi’s victories. Garibaldi has been active, and has taken many prisoners and cannon. He has ac complished the object for which he went forth. Parties who famished the enemy willingly, or for the hope of profit, will be courtmartialed as traitors. The Mayor’s must defend every town; those failing will be dismissed and the town be offi- daily denounced. Tha inhabitants of the De partments Jura and Vosges petition against peace involving a cession of territory. The Monitieur announces that letters for Paris may be sent to the Prefecture of Tours, as it has been determined to break the block ade. The Prussian movement in the Vosges and Normandy are checked by rain, wind and cold. It is noticeable that Prussian inhumani ty increases with their difficulty. They destroy farming utensils, looms, factories, tear down dwellings, kill horses and cattle, and destroy food they cannot eat. The France Tienrers are taking advantage of the bad weather and are inflicting heavy damage on the Prussians. Keratry has ordered the Mobiles in Britanny to concentrate at Amiens. Keratry will organize them himself for an offensive war. Many regu lar troops will be incorporated in this army. Keratry’s proclamation promises the Mobiles the best of weapons with proportional cannon and metrnilleuses. Wagons are going tbrongh the streets collecting provisions for the Chateau Dun sufferers. A young officer has just arrived from Metz with dispatohes for the government. He elu ded the Prussians by effective disguise. He confirms the accounts lately published, of sne- cessful sorties by Bazaine, and says this oity and garrison are well provisioned and able to hold out indefinitely. Information has been re ceived from Orleans, that all the shops are closed and the streets deserted. The women almost universally appear in mourning. The Prussian officers ineffectually attempt to dispel the gloom. At Marseilles aflairs are more or derly. The journals formerly suppressed, are allowed to re-appear by order of Gambetta. The journals announce that a long interview occured yesterday between Lord Lyons and Thiers. It is reported that Mazzini, the noted Italian Republican leader, has left Italy and is now on his way to Tours. The English at Paris are nnder tho protection of Washbnrne, as British charge d'affaires, ha9 not recognized the Republican Government and has no authority to act. St. Petkbsbubg, Ootober 27.—The following summary of the negotiation on the part nentral powers in Europe for an armistice comes from an anthentio source. After reciting the deter mination of the neutrals to seize the first op portunity for mediation, the document pro ceeds—Russia, in Jules Favre’s visit to the Prus sian headquarters, behoved that the long looked for opportunity had arrived ; at this mo ment the reception of the Prussian note on the subject of a probable early starvation of Paris caused a change in the order of the neutrals. When, however, he brought np the subject of mediation again, Russia held back on the ground that mediation unsupported by force wonld be worthless; that the condition of peace must be left exclusively to tho belligerents, g London, October 28.—Tho Manchester Guard ian to-day gives the following terms of peace which were proposed by England, Russia and Austria: 1st. No cession of territory. 2nd. The fortifications of Metz and Stras bourg to be rosed. 3rd. France to pay 200,000,000 francs in demnity, neutrals to guarantee peace. London, October 29.—The stem of the Cam bria drifted ashore at Islay, Scotland. McGat- lan, as far as known, is the only survivor. It is reported that Prnssia, England and Italy concur in Attra’s candidature for the French throne, as reported recently. Blois, October 27.—A strong column of the enemy’s cavalry and infantry attacked a Frenoh reconnoitering party on the left near Loire yes terday and were handsomely repulsed after a short engagement. The enemy on leaving Grisons attacked Longchamps with 900 men and four mortars, and were beaten off by Frano Tierurs and other troops. Vendame said there are still 2000 Prussians in Chateau Dun. Trayea Nogent was evacuated by the Prussians last night. Before leaving they fired the town in several places. Garibaldi is still at Dale. He has oollected strong forces and several sharp engagements have ocoorred with considerable loss on both sides. Beblin, October 27. —King William telegraphs to tbe Queen to-day. This morning Bazaine and Metz capitulated, with one hundred and forty' thousand prisoners, inclndingtwentythoosandsickandwound. Tho army and garrison laid down their arms this af ternoon. This is one of the most important events of the war. Providence be thanked. Pesth, October 27.—The Budget just pre sented, shows a surplus of nine and a half mil lions for 1869. The deficit for 1870 is propor tionately reduced; that for 1871 is estimated at one hundred and thirteen million. Madmd, Ootober 27.—Members in majority in the OortoH passed a resolution for assembling that body on the 29th inst. GENERAL INTELLIGENCE; Washington, Ootober 27.—The latest Euro^ pean gossip is verbose, bnt seems generally un favorable to an armistice or an early peooe. A circular from the Revenue Department di rects asssssors to demand from liqnor dealers a statement of the stock of brandy, gin, rum, whisky, highwines, alcohols and frnit brandies on hand outside of -bonded warehouse. Im ported and domestio liquors most be separated. This statement is required by the 15th of No vember. Washington, October 29.—The Secretary of War order stroops from Georgia and North Car olina to the South Carolina districts reported turbulent by Gov. Stott. Customs for the week ending 22d, over three million. New Yobk, October 27.—The World’s special from London says the English Ministry is an noyed by the guarded, but absolute refusal of Russia to co-oporate for peace. The chancel lor of the Russian cabinet has been at Brussels and Tours, and is expected at London. It is inferred that Russia contemplates isolating Eng land from both France and Germany on the Eastern question. The steps taken by the Eng lish Government are felt to have resulted only in mortification for the Gladstone ministry, show ing the weakness of English influence in conti nental affairs, and without contributing to a settlement. . * New Yobs, October 27.—Arrived, Northern Light, Arigona Columbia, Minnesota, arrived out Panama. Richmond. October 27.—-Ex-Mayor Chahoon (trooly loil—Eds. T, & M.) has been convicted of forgerv, and sentenced to four years In the Penitentiary. Chahoons counsel will ask for a new trial. . ■ Sait Lake Out, October 27.—Large amounts of ore are being shipped East and West. A number of strangers are visiting and examin ing the mines. Charleston, October 28.—Great preparation^ are making for the Fair, The South Carolina Institute opens next Tuesday in the immense building which been erected. It is expected there will be the largest attendance ever wit nessed. The official count of the votes in the State election began on Tuesday, and proceeds slowly. The results so far confirm unofficial estimates. w Lynohbttbg, October28.—W. 0. Pendleton a Mare Nora won the first race to-day at the Fair. Rev. Father McQuirk’s horse Sam won the secon race; it was ridden by the owner. Memphis, Ootober 27. —Winner of the first race was Littleton.

The following preamble and resolutions were adopted by the Faculty of Mebob Uniyebseey on hearing of the death of General Lee. Whereas, When it pleases the Almighty God to remove from the world, some man of exalted character and distinguished usefulness, it is the duty of those upon whom the loss has fallen, gratefully to acknowledge the Divine goodness in having favored th9m with so rare an exam ple of human excellence, and humbly and devoutly to acquiesce in its withdrawal; there fore, Resolved, That in bestowingupon the world such a man as General Robert E. Lee, in whom were united the grandest qualities of human character, God has conferred a signal blessing on mankind; and that we thankfuljy adore tho Providence which gave him to the Sonth as its leader and bulwark in the hour of peril, as an example of fortitude and dignified submission in time of failure and adversity, and as a pat era of gentler virtues and Christian grace in the walks of private life. Resolved, That the death of General Robert E. Lee, has affected ns with the sorrow which a sense of personal bereavement excites, and that we mourn for him as children for a father. Resolved, That we hereby tender to the Faculty of Washington College onr warmest sympathy, in the irreparable loss they have sus tained, by tho death of their illustrious presid ing officer. Resolved, That on Tuesday next the 18th inst., the regular exercises of Mercer Universi ty be suspended, and that the day be consecra ted to the memory of General Robert E. Lee; that at half past 10 o’clock on that day, funeral obsequies be observed in the College Chapel, and that the bell be tolled, as an expression of public grief, from twelve o’clock noon, until sunset. Resolved, That as a further token of respect to the memory of the glorious and lamented dead, we will wear the usual badge of mourn ing, and that the Chapel pulpit shall continue clothed in mourning for the remainder of the present teim. • Resolved, That the Secretary of the Faculty be instructed to forward a copy of these Reso lutions to the Faculty of Washington College. In accordance with tho fourth of -the above Resolutions, commemorative services were held in the Chapel of Mercer University on Tuesday the 18th inst. Devotional exercises were con ducted by Rev. J. J. Brantly, D. D., Professor of Belles Lettres, and an oration was delivered by Rev. H. H Tucker, D. D., President of the University. The services were stately, solemn and impressive, and as soon as they were closed the bell began to toll and continued at intervals of one minute during the remainder of the day. A Story of Lost Bonds—How some Wall street Houses do Business. In May, 1868, Dr. Binesse and daughter, of New York city, want to Europe. Previous to their departure Miss Binesse placed some boxes of silver at Ball .A Black’s and some furs at Gunther’s, for which she received re ceipts. These receipts, together with five $1,000 United States bonds, registered in her then name, Emilio Aglae Binesse, she en closed in a tin box, and deposited with Brown Brothers in Wall street for safe keeping. Dr. Binesse is positive that his daughter person ally handed the tin box to Mr. Jas. M. Brown, who received it from her and pnt it aside. No receipt was given, nor did Dr. Binesse or daughter think of asking one, having long known Mr. Brown. The Doctor, returning home about a year ago, went to Brown Brothers to obtain his daughter’s tin box; but it could not he fonnd, and no one know anything of it. Mr. James M. Brown himself was in Europe at the time. Dr. Binesse wrote thither to inquire about the box, but Mr. Brown, wrote back dis claiming nil recollection of it. Last spring a strange man applied to Dr. Binesse’s brother, at his place of business in Duane street, and asked whether he knew Lou ise Emile Aglae Binesse. Mr. Binesse, who was much occupied, paid )i tie attention to the man, but replied that he know her. The strange individual then asked, was she rich ? and Mr. Binesse told him the chief riches which which she possessed in her own right were the bonds. The man then said that he was a broken- down merchant, pnd intimated that for a con sideration he might be able to pnt her in the way of recovering the bonds. Bnt Mr. Binesse gave no heed to the proposal, and the stranger disappeared, and ha3 never sinoe been seen. It occurred to the Doctor npon hearing the story the man was pot principal, bnt merely an agent authorized to treat abont restoring tho bonds. The Doctor now offers $125 and “no questions asked,” to the person who will restore the bonds. ~ MAERIaGE GU'.DE. EVERY ONE HIS OWN DOCTOR.

An Autumn Suggestion.—Now. as heaTy fogs arise and searching winds commence to blow; now, as tho human body, exhausted like ■ inanimate na ture by tbe "heats of enmmer, begins to wilt and droop; now, ere the inclement winter makes its fay ing onset; now is the time for a preparatory course of the best acclimating medicine in existence, Hos- tettcr’s Stomach Bitters. Fever and Ague is rampant in all parts of the country. Quinine, the physicians admit, will not quell the phase of the disease which, at the present, pervades the entire West. It is well that it is so, for the remedy (so-called) is deadlier than the malady. Bat if quinine is inefficient in inter mittent fevers, Hostetter’s Bitters is irresist&ble. It wonld be safe to make a contract, under heavy penalties, that any given “ Fever-and Ague Dis trict” should be exempted from the disorder for any particular time, provided every inhabitant would take the Bitters according to directions, dur ing the term of the contract. There bas never been an instance in which this sterling invigorant and anti-febrile medicine baa failed to ward off the complaint, when taken duly as a protection against malaria. Hundreds of physicians have abandoned all the officinal species, and now prescribe this harmless vegetable tonic, and nothing else, as a preventive and core for all the forms of chills and fever. Vigor is the thing most needful in these cases, as well as in dyspepsia and nervous affec tions, and Hostetter’s Bitters are the safest, surest, and most wholesome strengthening preparation that human skill has yet concocted. oct27-lw. “Babbeto’s” harmless as.water.

Hy feet and ankles were much swollen for months, and I became so much reduced in flesh as to be scarcely able to get np without assistance. With little hope of ever getting better, or of living long, I began to take Bosadalis. I used four bot tles; and for three months past, I have been doing regular work on my farm; feeling well and strong, and am now able to eat with impunity the coarsest kind of diet, Buch as pork, potatoes, etc. lean recommend Bosadalis as a valuable remedy. oet27-dlw.
