lynch the DOMChlt* of 6f»rsla.
Ti>o glorious trinmphs won by the Demo.
cr«ts and honest men in the States tint voted
on Tuesday, and especially the result in tit*
l i:-.!a and A'k.»a««» should not bo lost on their
brothers in Georgia. Wo hope it will not be,
and that this State in December will re-echo
the swelling chorus of victory that rises from
■ jheir redeemed and regenerated sons.
\Vo have more strength than they, and much
better prospects cf success, if we will only
exert the one and improve tho other. The
canv !ss i“ each of these States was most vig
orous and the organization the most thorough
that was passible under tho circumstances.
Meetings were held in every connly, and oil
over every'county, and thereof issues of tho
canvass exhaustively discussed by able and
practised speakers. Tho people were fully
aroused to tho great work of routing the Kidi-
oul plunderers and oppressors, and they went to
the polls and accomplished it. They were ha
rassed and pressed with thousands of other
cares—pecuniary and business—jn-t as we aro
but they mado them subordinate to tho busi
ness of crushing Radicalism. Like wise men,
they made no mistakes, either, as to the real
meaning cf the contest. They let national
politics and parly platforms and constitutional
amendments taka earo of themselves. They
did not grope and dig in tho cemetery of set
tled questions and accomplished facts for am
munition. They got that fresh from the arsenal
of Radical robbery, wholesale fraud and enor
mous taxation, for personal and paTty purposes.
They found it in tho evil lives and still more
wicked actions of the profligates and malig
nant* who were destroying their substance,
and stealing their and their children’s heritage.
This was their platform, and these their weap
ons. How strong that platform, and how po
tent those weapons let the result testify.
Now for Georgia! We must. f ollow in their
track if wo rout the enemy. Wo must choose
our ground as they did, and force the raiders to
fight where we wish, not whore they desire.—
They are trying to steal away from the position
where they know they will be whipped, and oc
cupy strongholds that wo can only attack with
disheartened forces and greatly impared
chances of success. They arc seeking to cover
up the vital issue of the canvass—their shame
less plunder of the people - under a howl about
Presidential platforms and other such rubbish.
They must be foiled. Drive them back to the
chosen ground. Keep them on the defensive.
Confront them with the proof of their villiany,
and demand that they answer why sentence
should not bo passed upon them. Force them
to tell how much they have plundered, where
it is, whose pockets it enriched and all
their accomplices. Ia one word treat them
as the law treats a felon in the dock whoso evi
dence is needed to probe the depths of some
monstrous crime. This is the plitfonn, these
the weapons to right past wrongs, and secure
future peace and immunity.
Fellow-countrymen—Democrats—honest men
—tax payers—will you let Alabama put you to
shame ? Will yon allow her shouts of rejoicing
over a deliverance from the ills that have so
sorely afflicted her, to have no response this
Side the Chattahoochee ? Will you invito an ex
odus to your soil of the raiders she has driven
out, by allowing those that prey on you to
clutch a fresh lease on power? Will you make
your homes barren of peace, prosperity and
happiness, and your children beggars, by fold
ing your hands and saying that villainy and
fraud are too strong for you ? Will yon crouch
to the insolent profligates end greedy adventur
ers who have plundered and insulted yon, be
cause you fear their strength is greater than
yours, and their cunning and capacity for
swindling superior to your shrewdness to match
the one and foil the other ? These questions
hold your fate in their solntion. Rest assured
of that You can neither cv.ido nor postpone
it. You must decide. Will yon decide like
men—like the rightful, natural owners of this
goodly herbage—like the descendants of those
who cut it out of the wilderness and gave yon
titles to it signed, sealed and deliver* d with
their good swords—or like slaves out of whom
the spirit, and almost the semblance of men h is
been . crushed ? Your brethren everywhere,
wait to crown yon with laurels, or cover you
with contempt as you shall decide.

To be Avoided.
The BainTiridge Argns stat-.s that divisions
among the Democrats of Mitchell county and
the running of independent oindida'es. we are
informed, will probably insure ti e s.iore s of
the Radicals in that county. Divisions, *1-
w.itsto be avoided and condemned, are now
unpardonable. It has been repo it* dly n'serb-d
that them aro JIuKock-Lcinocruts enough in
the field to give him, upon election, am ijnrity
in the next General Assembly. Such men as
"•e unwilling to bttrrooui-so tlm nc ioo of th*.
party end postpone *** •*«* T“
nirnity, when defeat stares ih-in in the face
as consequent upon divided ecu.®, cannot be
considered otherwise than its desiring and con
tributing to tho perpetuation < f R.diotl plun
der and power.—Chronicle <£■ Sentinel. 10,;//.
Wo endotBo every word of this declaration.
It Is ns true as timely, and we hope tho people
will bracd nil such malcontents. Let them not
only be defeated, but driven out of the p irty,
or put upon a long and rigid probation. Thi-ir
conduct, if anylhing can do it, will give Bul
lock nnd his gang a fiesh lease of power in De
cember. They know it, too, or ought to know
it, if they have three grains of sense. Wo fe ir
seme of them have had their palms crossed, and
are working for the enemy. There may be
some who nro honest ia their motives and no
tion, end believe they ought to win, and will
win-but these ate very few. If they allow
prejudice and passion to blind them thus far,
they lack intelligence and a prop3r appreciation
of tho gravity of the situation, and are not fit to
represent Democrats, at least.
We speak harshly of this class, because we
feel harshly towards them. They are imperil
ing the rights nnd interests of the whole tax
paying people of the State by thsir conduct.
The December election is a pivot upon which
turns more momentous issues to tho tax-payers
of Georgia than any that have ever arisen in
the history of the State. Every obstacle placed
ia the way of a triumph over tho R ulical plun
derers at this election, is either a crime or a
blander—which is worse. Thesoboltors are guil
ty of both; and should he promptly punished.
Wo Cill on all who are troubled In their coun
ties with such pests, to apply the remedy at
once, and vigorously.
We must carry this election, if wo lose every
other one for the next ten years. We are trav
elling the downward road to beggary at break
neck speed, c"cd if an anti-Ridical Legislature
for 1S71 don’t save ns, it can’t be done. It mat
ters very little to us—by comparison—who is
Governor or President in 1872, but the complex
ion of the next General Assembly matters every
thing. The tax payors of Georgia conld better
afford to sacrifice half the property left them
than to see another Radical Legislature meet at
Atlanta. Let them figure up for themselves
and see if we overstate the case. Wnen they
are fully satisfied that we do not, let them see
to it that they permit no such catastrophe.
Thay have the means and the strength to avert
it—the trill is all that is lacking. We pity them
from the bottom of onr soul if they fail to exert
it. They had better have never been born.
Another Little Grab of the Plun
derers.
Tho Cons'itution continues the good wotk of
exposing—where the facts can be got at—the
loathsome, sickening catalogue of raids upon
the pockets of Georgia tax-p«jer-> by the Radi
cal banditti. It calls attention in Thursday’s
issue to a grab made by Bullock for tile benefit
of certain of his creatures, ai,d which he or
dered the Treasurer to pay under the head of
‘‘services rendered organizing Provision'd Ls
gislatnre.” It foots up the sum of §1,589 was
paid to twelve parsons to wit:
A. L. Harris $ 204

T. A. Johnson 57
W. B. Smith 45

Si oo then tv
tot a.oke.i.
Total $1,589
Among this number, as will be seen, are
several men entp'ojOd on the S'&te Road, and
in o'her official capacities under the State gov
ernment. They drew pay for that work all tho
time and tor this also, though while attending
'o the letter, of course they had to neglect the
duties of the former. Their organizing work
was clearly illegal, and the payment, therefor,
not only illegd bnt fraudulent—a downright
grab, without color of law or right. It is of a
piece, however, with the whole history an.* con
duct of the brigands who are ruling and ruin-
tng Georgia. They have never missed a chance
to grub—and grab deep—nor to stab those
whose substance they have come to regard and
treat as their own.
Are the owners of this property going to stand
idly by and soe it nil wasted on, nnd by. these
greedy lozzironi ? If they permit a Radical
trinmph in December, they will have that satis
faction as sure as death or taxes. We invoke
them to tise in their might and drive these
raveniDg wolves from their prey. They can do
it, now, but let another year pass, and the task
will bo well nigh hopeless. It is now or—we
fear— never.
The New Governor of Missouri.
The Governor elect of Missouri, B. Gratz
Brown, is a small, red-haired man, of acknowl
edged ability. Ho is quite tho roverso of band-
some, bnt what be lacks in that is amply made
up by his wife, formerly tho beautifal Miss
Gunn, of Jefferson City. He is a native of
Kentucky, and a protege of the Blair family.
His first appearance in public life was as editor
of the St. Louis Democrat, which was then the
organ of Col. Benton, and he hn3 ever since,
although not entirely engaged editing if, con
trolled tho political course of that powerful
newspaper. Daring tho war he was an extreme
Unionist. When the State slipped from Dem
ocratic control, all Confederates, nnd their
sympathizers, were disfranchised by the Radi
cals in power. Bat when the passions engend
ered by the war cooled down, a movement was
mado to remove these disabilities. This ques
tion divided the Radical party, and resulted in
two tickets being pnt forth. The Democrats
mado no nominations, but supported Brown,
who took tho conservative side, and m favor of
repeal McClurg opposed him. McClurg was
supported by Grant and bis administration,
and the President now has the satisfaction of
seeing his friend defeated by 30,000 majority..
Although tho Democrats have not actually
carried Missouri, they have defeated the ex
treme Radicals and the Administration. So
soon a3 they are all allowed to vote they will
undoubtedly take charge of tho affairs of the
State. ^

Reeling of Confederate Officers In
Richmond.—Ex-FresiUcut 9>avi«on
General Lee.
A large meeting of Confederate officers and
soldiers was held in Richmond on Thursday
evening as a token of respect to the memoiy of
the late Gen. R. E. Lee. A permanent Lee
Association was formed, with tho following of
ficers : President, Jefferson Davis ; Vice-Presi
dents, Major-General Fiizhngh Lee, Major-
General, John B. Gordon, Major-General Ed
ward Johnson, Major-General L R. Trimble,
Brigadier-General W. B. Taliaferro, Brigadier-
General William N. Pendleton, Major-General
William Smith, Brigadier-General H. A. Wise,
and others.
The greet soeech of the occasion was that of
Mr. Davis. The Richmond Dispatch says:
“As Mr. Davis arose to walk to the stand every
person in the house sprang to his feet, and
there followed such a 6torm of applause as
seemed to shake the very foundation of the
building, while cheer upon cheer was echoed
from tho throats of votemns saluting one whom
they delighted to honor.”
BEMAEKS OF JEEFEESON DAVIS.
Mr. Davis said: Robert E. Lee was my asso
ciate and friend in the Military Academy, and
we were friends until tho hour of his death. We
were associates and friends when he was a sol
dier and I a Congressmen, and associates and
friends when he led the armies of the Confed
eracy and I presided in its Cabinet. We passed
through many sad scenes together, but I cannot
remember that there was ever aught but per
fect harmony between us. If ever there was
difference of opinion it was dissipated by dis
cussion, and harmony was the result. I repeat,
we never disagreed ; and I may add that I nev
er in my life saw in him the slightest tendency
to self seeking. It was not Ms to make a reo
ord; it was not Ms to shift blame to other
shonlders; bnt it was Ms, with an eye fixed
upon the welfare of Ms country, never falter
ing, to follow the line of duty to the end. His
was tho heart that braved every difficulty ; his
was the mind that wrought victory out of de
feat.
“want of dash.”
He has been charged with “want of dash.” I
wish to say that I never knew Lee to falter to
attempt anything ever man conld dare. An
attempt has also been raad9 to throw a cloud
U|>on his character, because he left the army of
the United States to join in the struggle for the
liberty of his State. Without trenching at all
upon politics, I deem it my duty to say one
word in reference to this charge Virginian
born, descended from a family illnstrions in
Virginia’s annals, given by Virg nia to the ser
vice of the United States, he represented her
in the Military Academy at West Point. He
was not educated by the Federal Government,,
bnt by Virginia, for she paid her full share for
the support of that institution, and was entitled
to demand in return the services of her sons.
Entering the army of Ihe United States, he
represented Virginia there also, nnd nobly. 0;i
many a hard-fought field Lee was conspicuous,
batilmg for bis native State ns much as for the
Union. He came from Mexico orowned with
honors, covered by brevets, and recognized,
young ns he was, as one of (he ablest of his
country’s soldiers.
LEE OFFERED COMMAND OF THE CUBAN ARMY.
And to prove that he was estimated then as
sueh, let me tell you that when L»e was a cap
tain of engineers, stationed in Baltimore, the
Caban Junto in New York selected Mm to be
their leader in the struggle for the independence
of their native country. They were anxious to
secure his services, and offered him every temp
tation that ambition conld desire. He thought
the matter over, and. I remember, came to
Washington to consult me ns to what he should
do, and when I began *o disen-s the complica
tions which might arise from his acceptance of
the trust he gently rebuked me, Raving that this
was not the lino upon which he wished my ad
vice ; the simple question was, “Whether it was
right or not?” He had been educated by the
United States, and felt wrong to accept a place
in the army of a foreign power. Such was
Ms extreme delicacy, such was tho nice sense
of honor of the gallant gentleman whose death
we deplore But when Virginia withdrew—the
State to whom ho owed his first, and last alle
giance—tho same nice sense of honor led Mm
to draw his sword nnd throw it in the scale for
good or for evil. Pardon me for this brief de
fense of my illnstrions friend.
HIS MILITARY BECOBD.
When Virginia joined tho Confederacy, Rob
ert Lee, the highest officer in the little army of
Virginia, came to Richmond, and not pausing
to inqniro what would bo his rank in the ser
vice of the Confederacy, went to Western Vir
ginia: under tho belief that he was still an officer
of the State He came back, carrying the
heavy weight of defeat, and unappreciated by
the people whom ho served, for they conld not
know, os I knew, that if his plans and orders
had been carried ont, tho result would have
been victory rather than retreat Yon d: 1 not
know, for I would not have known it bnd li i not
breathed it in my ear only at my earnest re
quest. and begging that nothing be said about
it. The clamor which then arose followed him
when lie went to South Carolina, so that it be
came necessary, on his goiDg to South Carolina,
to write a letter to the Governor of that State,
telling Mm what manner of man he was. Yet,
through all this, with a magnanimity rarely
equalled, he stood in silence, without defend
ing himself, or allowing others to defend biro,
for he was unwilling to offend any one who was
wearing a sword and striking blows for the
Confederacy.
The speaker referred also to the circumstan
ces attending Gen. TLeo’s crossing the Patomno
and the march into Pennsylvania. Ho (Mr.
Davis) assumed the responsibility for that move
ment. The enemy had long been concentrat
ing his force, and it was evident that if they
o ntinned their steady progress the Confederacy
.would bo overwhelmed Onr only hope was to
(drive them.to the defence of their own capital,
j we being enabled in the moan timo to re enforce
onr shattered army. How well Gen. Lee ear-
■ ried ont that dangerous experiment need not be
j told. Richmond wss relieved, the Confederacy
I was relieved, and time was obtained, if other
' things had favored, to re-enforce the army.—
Bnt, said Mr. Davis, I shall not attempt to re-
. view the military career of our fallen chieftain.
! Of the man, how shall I speak ?
HE WAS MY FBIEFD.
and in that word is included all that I could
say of any man. His moral qualities rose to
the height of his genius; self-denying—always
. intent upon the one idea of duty—self-con-
| trolled to an extoDt that many thought him
cold. His feelings were really warm, and his
j heart melted freely at the sight of a wounded
; soldier, or the story of tho sufferings of the
! widow and orphan. Daring tho war he was
ever conscious of the inequality of tho means
at his control; bnt it was never bis to complain
[ or to utter a doubt—it was alwayB his to do.
When, in tho last campaigo, bo was beleaguered
! at Petersburg, andpainfullyawareof the straits
J to which wo wore reduced, ho said: “With my
j army in the mountains of Virginia, I could car
ry on this war for twenty years longer.” His
men exhausted, nnd Ms supplies failing, he was
unable to carry out his plans. An untoward
event caused him to anticipate the movement,
and tho army of Northern Virginia was over
whelmed. -Bnt in-the surrender he anticipated
conditions that have not been fulfilled—he ex
pected his army to bo respected, and Ms pa
roled soldiers to be allowed tho enjoyments of
life and property. Wbother these conditions
li&vo been fulfilled, lot oihera say. Here she
new
SLEETS IN THE LAND HE LOVED
so well, and that land is not Virginia only, for
they do injustice to Lee who believe he fought
only for Virginia. He was ready' to go any
where, on any 6eivice for the good of his coun
try, and his heart- was as broad as the fifteen
States struggling for the principles that, onr
forefathers fonxht for m the Revolution of
1770. He i j sleeping in the same soil with the
thons»inds-wM> fought under the sam*> flag, but
first offered np tln-ir lives Hofo th» living are
assembled to honor Ms memory, nnd there the
skelelou'sentinels keep watch ov«-r bis grave.
Tins'citiz -n ! this soldier 1 this great Generali
this true patriot! left behind hiui the crowning
glory of a true Christian; His Ohristiani'y en
nobled him in life, and p.fforda ns grounds for
the belief that he.is happy beyond tho grave.
But, while we mourn the loss of the great and
tho true, drop $re also tears of sympithy with
her who was his help-meet—the noble woman
who, while her husband was in the field leading
the army of the Confederacy, though an invalid
herself, p issed the time in
KNITTING SOCKS
for the marching soldiers! A woman fit to b3
the mother of heroes—and heroes are descend
ed from her. Mourning with her, we can only
offer the consolation of a Christian. Our loss
is not his; but he now enjoys the rewards of a
life well spent, and a never-wavering trust in a
risen Saviour. This day we unite our words of
sorrow with fhose of the good and great
throughout Christendom, for his fame is gone
over the water—his deeds will be remembered;
and when the monument we btuld shall have
crumbled into dust, his virtues will still live, a
high model for the imitation of generations yet
unborn.
Resolutions were adopted by the meeting
favoring the erection of a monument to Gen.
Lee, and a committee of seventy-five was ap
pointed to receive contributions for tho purpose.
The Ocmnlgco and North Georgia
Itqilroad.
Edilots Telegraph and Messenger: I see
from your paper of tho 8th inst., a statement
that “Presidents of the Central, Macon and
Brunswick and Southwestern Roads, have vol
unteered to organize and put in the field at
once a party to survey three routes between
Macon and Knoxville.” This is a move in the
right direction, and is an assurance to the people
along the route of the interest felt in this great
project by these three powerful corporations,
and mnst result in a speedy completion of tho
road. Presuming that the location of this road
will be controlled by tho benefit to bo derived
to the stockholders, whose money will build the
same, allow me to call attention to some of the
benefits to be derived to the builders and to the
cily of Macon by the location of the road on
the route through Monticello, one of t*-e three
routes to be surveyed. As for the route on tho
Western side of the Ocmulgee, I presume Ma
con already rece ss the trade of all that sec
tion through the Macon and Western Railroad;
besides, on approaching the river, the country
is extremely broken and billy, with numerous
water courses flowing.into the river, the bridg
ing and grading of which must necessarily
make the construction of the road on this route
very expensive, though the same may be sefid
of the route immediately e ist of the Ocmulgee,
where the country is very hilly aud broken, in
tersected as on the west side with numerous
water courses fi iwiog into the river; besides,
after passing through Jasper county, both of
these routes, in approaching Covington, pas3
through a section of country intersected by
rivers and streams forming the Ocmulgee, such
ns .-ou»k River, Yellow River and Alcove
River.
The route by Monticello, which is a ridge
route, would not require a single bridge after
crossing the river at Macon between that point
and Monticello, and but one bridge between
Mon'ictUo and Covington, and that across the
Alcove river, aurl this river, on account of the
peculiar forma ion of its banks, passing as it
does between high hills, would require no tres-
sel works. The s’reams which would be crossed
by this routo being small branches, easily
crossed by culverts, the grading would necessa
rily be light. The benefit to the business men
of M«C(.n froai the trade of this county, now
divided between Sav .iinah, Augnsta, Madison,
Covington and E itonton, would necessarily be
great. No county in Georgia now suffers so
mnch for the want of railroad facilities as Jas
per county, nor ia there any c unty in Georgia
whose local trade wonld benefit tho city of
Macon and the three great railroads, whose
Presidents are moving in this matter, in their
business so much as Jasper county. Build this
road on the west side of the river, or even on
tho east side in the neighborhood of the river,
and this trade is still lost to Macon and this
business to those railroads. Monticello.

AN ISLAND OF SILVER.
Hcinnrknblc Discovery (iu t!u> N ortii shore
of Lake 'Ulterior—An Argentiferous Ls
land,Consisting of70 percent of Ore.
From the Duluth JStnnesotian, Oct. 29 )
Wo have before alluded to the silver island
of tho north shore of Lake Superior, in the
British possessions, just below Thunder Cape,
and sorao fifteen miles beyond Fort William
The island is quite small in dimensions—say
one hundred feet by forty—and the most o? it-
is submerged at high water; a small part at one
end is about eight feet above the lake level.
This island was entered by the Montreal Mining
Company, as n part of a tract embracing 108,-
000 acres; and the i-land was subsequently
purchased of them by Captain William B Frew
(formerly of Portage Lako, and Superintendent
of tho South Fewanbic copper mine), for him
self and associates, including amongst them
Major Sibley, of J7ew York, a brother, we think,
of General Sibley, of St. Paul The Montreal
Mining Company first made the dicovery that
the island contained siver, and by their agents
sunk a shaft on the island; but-these knew
little or nottong about mining, and tho water
coming in upon them, further'working of their
mine was abandoned as useless. It was only
tMs last summer that Capt F andhisCo. com-
pletediheirbargaia with the Montreal Co. for the
island, and secured it by paying, or agreeing to
pay, $250,000 for the entire 108.000 acres.-
I hey went immediately to work at improving
the mine in a “workman-like manner ” Thr-ir
first step was fo surround tho island with cribs
of timber, filltd with stone, to serve as a break
water and ice-breaker; and within these cribs
a eofft-o-dam was built and paddled with clay,
having the rffeat of making the whole interior
of tlie island nearly water-tight, at least from
the intrusions of the lake. The next step was
lo set up a large syphon pump, worked by
steam, by which .the inside wrof pumped dry, or
nearly so, and it has since been found that a
very little working of the pumps daily keeps
the island clear of water entirely. They then
went to work laying bare the vein, nnd now
have exposed seventy feet in length, and find
it to be a true fissure veiu with perpendicular
wiills—the vein of silver matrix being caloare-
ous spar with some little quartz intermixed.—
The vein is eight feet wide, and eye-witnesses
from there stato that for one-qusrler of this
width it will averag i 70 per cent, of pnre silver.
On the first trial alter the water was-first got
ten ont six men took over $35,000 in four days;
and np to the latest accouut3 tho working has
been continued at about this rate. Already 123
barrels of native silver, estimated to bo worth
$75,000 to $100,000 have been shipped. The
yield of the mine computed by the ton is not
less than a dollar to the pound! The mine
employs uowubont forty men, nnd will increase
their toroe immediately. The “royalty” paid
on this to the English government is qnite
small—uot exceeding one-twentieth. Eve-wit
nesses of intelligence, jndument, and experi
ence report that Captain Frew will probably
take out of silver, up to the opening of naviga
tion next spring, from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000
in money value! The steamer Meteor conveyed
down tho lakes on her trip before last sixty-two
barrels of silver. This silver island is no hum
bug, but an actual, bona fide affair, in which
the most wondorfnl results have already been
obtained, and all bids fair to make in yield and
richness the most remarkable mining discovery
in this country for many years Some masses
of silver went down on the Meteor larger and
heavier than a man could lift. A part of the
island vein, say two feet of the eight feet in
width, is wonderfully rioh, and it is from this
portion that the large silver masses are ex
tracted. Other rioh mines of silver are report
ed ns having been found on tho main north
shore in the range of the silver island, nnd
Captain Hodson, of Portage Lake, has gone
East to organize a company to work them.
