AUGUST 9, 1871 Riot is Eatonton.—Wa bavo the following from a well-known and reliable gentleman this city, now on a visit to Eatonton. He has our (banks for the same: Eatonton, Gi-, Angnst 8, 1371. Editor* Telegraph and Messenger: The elec tion for connty officers commenced here abont 8 o’clock this morning. Everything went on quietly for some time, the negroes crowding the polls and adjacent grounds as usual. They seemed to have everything their own way, when at last a dispute arose between a negro and whito man, and each drew weapons of defence but before any barm was done, another negro drew a pistol to take sides with negro No. At this jnnctnre an officer of the town arrested negro No. 2, and made off with him to jail To this a crowd of negroes objected, and attempted to rescue the prisoner from the officer, course they wero resisted, and then began what seemed at one time to bo a riot of the first water. Tho negroes formed in line, and they say opened the firing first, and thon a general and indiscriminate shooting commenced. One white man got a slight cut in tho neck, and two negroes got shot. Tho affair wound up by most of tho negroes beating a hasty retreat from the town. After a few boars order was restored and the voting commenced. I beard several gentle men tell tho colored men to go and vote, mattered not how, so they behaved themselves and kept quiet. Dr. James A. Etheridge is the Democratic candidate—a Christian gentleman and a man of cultnro. We offer no apology for surrendering our ed itorial space to tho following communication from an intelligent and-talented young gentle man of this city.

PEBSONS. bnt it is now growing wanner. The large Bum ber of visitors at the “Alleghany” this season attest its increasing popularity, every cottage room and tent beiDg filled, and letters and tel egrams from nearly a hundred persons asking for accommodation, aro lying in the office. The extension to the already large hotel was completed last week, and a largo force of work men are now engaged in building additional cottages. The Springs ore approached from Alleghany station, on the Virginia and East Tennessee Railroad, by a road winding between the moun tains, crossing and recrossing the headwaters of the Roanoke river, op a gradual ascent for three miles and a half, when the dost covered traveller comes in sight of the long line of white cottages, and tho strains of mnsio from a splendid brass bond echoing among tho high hills, tell him ho has reached his journey’s end. As the stage cntcrB tho grounds he iB struck with tho enchanting beauty of tho place—for tho bock-ground to tho picture is tho range of mountains, at the baso of which stand the main hotel, and stretching ont from it toward the south and east, aro tho two rows of cot tages, designated respectively “Paradise” and 'Purgatory,” the latter being tho most pleasant division in this instance. I don’t know why it is so called, without it is because it is “down hill.’’ The lawn in front is largo and artistically plannod, and shaded with most handsome trees, through which curve the most delightful of graveled walks, most of them loading to the spring, which is in tho centre of the grounds, and, in appearance, similar to the Congress Springs, at Saratoga. Tho high wall of moun tains shuts us in entirely from tho outside world,—even the gap through which wo enme being lost to view after we reach the springs; and the scenery, no matter which way the eye turns, is as grand and boantifaias can be found in Virginia. It recalls the times when “Wo climbed the blue Virginia hills, With Jackson and with Lee,” and if, for a moment, wo forgot it the presence hore of so many of our old leaders, Generals Hardee, Early, Lawton, Toombs, Gilmer, Her bert, Major Morrow, of Lee’s staff, that “free lance” of the old Confederate days, Harry Gilmer, and others whoso names we all remember, would remind us of them. Seats just largo enough for two, aro scattered about at convenient distance, and in the evening when tho lamps that dot tho lawn are lighted, tho whole place is invested with sufficient ro mance and loveliness to influenoe even my se date and invalid fellow-traveller. But our de sire to see the fair company of ladies in all the bewildering beauty of the ball-room wooes ns to follow the distant notes of music, and wo soon find ourselves on the floor enjoying the sight as well as the dance. In looking around tho room wo are convinced that Georgia has certainly done her share, in the contribution of loveli ness she has made to the Alleghany Springs in the last four weeks. The Misses Lawton and Miss Gilmer, of Sa vannah, Mrs. Coh Crawford, Miss Russell and Miss Baker, from Augusta, and Miss Toombs, of Washington, who has saddened tho hearts of many by leaving for Greenbrier, have all been much admired. . - r_iv As regards “creature comforts,” we have them all. An immense ioe-house, filled during the winter, supplies ns in lavish quantity with ice ; our “julep builder” has attained the high est perfection in his art; spring chickens “grow spontaneous” all through tho mountains. Our landlord and his assistants do all in their power __ make their guests comfortable; cooks and servants understands their duties, and if an in valid, under all these circnmstaneos, together with tho wonderful curative powers of the wa ters, cannot find health, he ought, at any rate, “seo Venice and die.” Tho Montgomery White Snlphur Springs are distant ten miles; the Yel low Sulphur thirteen, and tho visitors aro quite neighborly—excursion parties coming and go ing from one Springs to tho other almost daily. Wo Macon people get tho Teixohatii and Messenger regularly every morning, and I need not tell yon bow much we appreciate it. I must teU you of another notoriety we havo bad here, in tho person of the hon. t. j. speer, of Georgia. When he first came he was placed at the same table with General Toombs, who did not seem to relish it much, and mildly sug gested that if there was no other place for him, to “send him to’tho kitchen, asjall of his asso ciations were there 1 ” He was not much sought after while here, and, after spending a solitary kind of life for a few days, he left, R. L. C. Houston Counts Fair.—Wo publish this morning the list of premiums to be awarded at the Houston Connty Fair, to be held in Fort Valley on Friday next, 11th instant. A strong delegation of visitors from this city will, doubt less, be in attendance, as they can attend tho Fair and return home on the same day. The Executive Committee have the thanks of the editorial staff of tho Telegraph and Messenger for an invitation to be present, and some one of us will be glad, indeed, to spend the day with the good people of Old Houston, and see the best they nave on exhibition.

DAY DISPATCHES. Louisville, August 8.—The Democrats carry the State by about 30,000 majority. All the Democratic candidates for the Legislature are elected. Dublin, August 8.—The royal visitors have left Dublin. Not a cheer was heard from the lined streets through which they passed. The silence was only broken by a few hisses. The conduct of the police at Phoenix Park, which is denounced as inexcusably brutal, embittered the people. Washington, August 8.—Last night Grant sent Iris private secretary to Pleasanton, re questing his resignation. Pleasanton declined to resign; whereupon the President determined to suspend him and appoint Douglas. The mat ter wilt probably be consummated to-day. The papers appointing Douglas and suspending Pleasanton are in course of preparation. New York, August 8.—Arrived: Adger and Scotia; among the passengers by the Scotia, was Madame Parepa Rosa. Arrived out: Cala bria and Ismnlia. Columbus, Ohio, August 8.—Hon. Thomas Sparrow is dead of lock-jaw. New York, August 8.—Within the past few days one steamer and six vessels have been quarantined for yellow fever from the West In dies. London, August 8.—A dispatch from Dublin says the city is quiet, but the excitement of tho popnlacs has not subsided. It is generally thought that the sympathizers with the Fenian prisoners will not give up the idea of holding another meeting in spite of the prohibition by the authorities. The sentiment of tho majority of tho people is in favor of granting amnesty to all the Fenian prisoners, bnt violent opposi tion to tbo authorities is deprecated. The be lief was that the royal visit will be made an op portunity by the Government for the release of the imprisoned Fenians. The' populace are very bitter against the Prince of Wales because he has not interceded for amnesty. The whole police force is still on tho alert, and tho military consigned to the barracks in order to be ready if called upon to aid the police. Thus far no deaths are reported, but it is thought from fivo to ten prisoners will die of injuries. Hone, the Superintendent of the Police, is in a critical condition, but hopes are entertained for his re covery. It is yet.uncertain .whether the Gov ernment can legally prosecute Mr. Smith and other leaders of the demonstration. Versailles, August 8.—Advices from Algeria say ihe insurrection is routed and Meonededem is subdued. The revolt, however, continues in the province of Constantine—tho most eastern of the threo departments of which Algeria is composed. Numerous mardors are still com mitted by the rebels in that province, and sev eral forests have been burned. The court martial for the trial of the Com munists opened yesterday, and the indictments wero read. Some of the prisoners treated the proceedings with levity. NIGHT DISPATCHES. -'Charles Francis Washington, August 8. Adams has signified his acceptance of tho arbi tratorship under the Washington treaty. The President has departed. Pleasanton was form ally suspended. Douglass has been appointed, and is now in possession of the office. No Cab inet to-day. The postal money order with Ger many goes into effect October 1st, 1872—the North German Lloyd’s Company requiring one year’s notice. The immediate causes assigned for Pleasan ton’s removal in official circles are that the rev enue was not collected with efficiency; rever sal rulings of his predecessors, and making de cisions, the effect of which was to needlessly lessen the revenue, and acting on important matters wltbont consulting Boutwell, wherein Bontwell had paramount authority. Pleasan ton’s letter concludes: “In justice to tho pub lic interests placed under my charge, and the importance to the tar payers of a proper solu tion of these difficulties, I must respectfully decline to tender you my resignation, and trust ing it may bo deemed inappropriate, I will again request that your present determination may be reconsidered, and an investigation of tho matter of diffeionco between the Secretary and myself, be referred to the Attorney-General for his legal opinion. With great respect, [Signed] A. Pleasanton, Com.” New York, August 8.—Thurlow Weed re turns from Europo, tho trip failing to improve his health. In the Court of Special Sessions to-day, NathanKoyofski,(Jew,)cbarged withdis- turbing the Methodist congregation of Alanson church, by working on a sewing machine du ring tho hours of diviuo service, in a room op posite ,the church, Judge Shandly found him guilty, but suspended sentenco. The Judge said no disturbance to religions worship of any kind could be permitted. Tho Jew, he said, had iV»A coma »>3s’«— if iViAjr ilia. turbed his religions worship on Saturday. Savannah, August 8.—The sheriff’s posse, which went out last night to arrest the negro excursionists who had taken possession of two cars on the Savannah, Seaboard and Skidaway Railroad, returned this morning. The ne gro men had all left the captured cars and took to the woods, leaving their women and children in the cars. They wero brought to the city, and then allowed to go to their homes. No arrests have yet been made. St. Louis, August 8.—In the National Labor Congress the President read the annual mes sage. Delegates from Middlo, Western and Southern States reported. None from New England. Posio Rioo, August 8.—The state of seige was raised yesterday throughout tho Island, and quiet reigns. The Captain General has resigned. It is supposed General Sonci will bo reappointed. Versailles, Angnst 8.—Tho conncil of war, Thiers and McMahon present, resolved to adopt energetic measures to suppress the Algerian re bellion. At the second election in Strasbourg, yesterday, over one-half the voters abstained. A similar result obtained in Mulhouso and other conquered towns. Quebec, August 8.—Advices by to-day’s mail settle tho final withdrawal of the Imperial troops from tne Dominion. Paris, August 8.—Tho Gaulois and Paris journals state that Jules Simon is a member of the international society. London, August 8.—In tho House of Com mons after a bitter debate, Gladstone implored the House to pass the ballot bill, and the bill was passed. Savannah, August 8.—Cleared: stermship Virgo, New York; schooner Isabella, Jackson ville. Charleston, August 8.—Arrived: steamers Manhattan, New York; Virginia, Philadelphia; Falcon, Baltimore. New York, August 8.—Arrived: Magnolia. Arrived out: St. Laurent. Mr. Bontwell claims powers which, under the laws of Congress governing that Bureau, aro vest ed solely in tho Commissioner. The question is, therefore, purely a legal one, and the precedents of our government have been to have such questions, when appealed to the President, re ferred to the law officer of the Government for his opinion, and upon which the President would base his decision. This course was pur sued by Presidents Jackson, Tyler, Pierce, Van Bnren, Fillmore and others, and has been the uniform practice of tho Government. Knowing these facts and believing them to be the proper way to settle any difference of view, as regards the law, which might exist between the Secretary and the Commissioner, I addressed you a communication some time since, making an appeal for yonr de cision of the powers of the Commissioner under the act of July 20th, 1868. This appeal, as I understand it, is not to be entertained, bnt the subject is to be treated rather as a personal difference between tho Secretary and myself. In this connection it is proper to add that the personal conduct of the Secretary, has been such as to preclude the tender of mv resigna tion, until some opportunity is granted for vin dicating my administration of the Internal Revenue Bureau. A. Pleasanton. Hen. Geo. H. Pendleton was a passenger on the Scotia. San Francisco, August 8. — Colonel Von Schmidt has contracted with the Central Pacific Bailroad for a tunnel through Siera Nevada, with capacity for a canal and railroad. The Central Boad pays $1,000,000 ss its part of the costs. Versailles, August 8.—The court martial has commenced the examination of witnesses. Ferre, one of the accused, attempted to make a speech in defence of the Commune, but he was not permitted to proceed. He denied that he had ordered the burning cf the Palace Ministry of Finance. Several witnesses swore Ferre personally forbade the release of prison ers in the Protective while it was burning. Ferre and Asse wore both insolent in speeoh and manner, and were frequently reprimanded by the court. The court-room was crowded with spectators. JNO. W.
