B@U Cheering news from all parts of the State indicate, almost beyond a doubt, the comiug election of Gordon, if his friends do not relax their efforts. Atlanta.—As the campaign advans ees, our Atlanta advices are, that a man ct any stripe of politics can pick up a fight most any day, on the streets of that interesting village. All he has to do is to crook nie finger at an oppo« nent. THE NEW INDICTMENT AGAINST JEFF. DAVIS. A Richmond dispatch has already an nounced that anew indictment had been found by the grand jury of the Uniffed States Court for Virginia against the Hon. Jefferson Davis. The Rich* mond Examiner says: The indictment states that in 1861 he armed and equipped troops for the pur pose s>f levying war against the United States ; that he took forcible possession of the city of Richmond, and excluded therefrom the forces of the United States; that ho nrined and equipped military ioroes for tho purpose of levying war against the United States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ueor„ gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Lou isiana, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee und Missouri, nnd that he gave to the said forces information, counsel and advice, maliciously and traitorously to assist them in levying wift 1 aforesaid. And that at Manassas, on the 21st of July, 1861, with a number ol’pers >ns, amount ing to 50,000 or more, armed, equipped and organized ns military forces with the usual weapons of war, and malioi* ously and traitorously fought against, killed, wounded and captured officers soldiers of the United States army, and destroyed and captured mnnitons and materials of war, the property of the United States ; and that he, with Rob* ert E. Lee, Judah P. Benjamin, John C. Breckinridge, Wm. Mahone, Henry A. Wise, John Letcher, Wm. Smith, Jubal A. Early, James Lougstreet, Da vid A. Hill, Ambrose P. Hill, Gustave T. Beauregard, Win. H. O. Whiting, Edward Sparrow, Samuel Cooper, Jo seph E. Johnston, John B. Gordon, C. F. Jackson, and T. 0, Moore, did ma licously and traitorously, oonspire and levy war against the United States. Tlie remainder of the ipdiotmout con sists of a recapitulation of the battles of tho war, the charge that Mr. Davis ap» pointed in the commisioned persona as officers in the Confederate army, and concludes as follows: “That during the while of the said rebellion, by reson of resistance to the execution of the laws of the United States, and the interruption of the ordinary course of judicial pro ceedings, process for the the conmenceo ment of any action, civil or criminal, against the eaid Jefferson Davis, or for his arrest could not be served : and the said Jefferson Davis could not, by reason of such resistance of the laws, and such interruption of suoh judicial proceedings, be arrested or served with process for the commencement of any action, oivil •or criminal, within tho intent and mean ing of the statute of the United States in such oase made and provided." JUDGE IRWIN’S CARD. We print below a card to the voters of Georgia, signed by Judge Irwin, and published in the Atlanta Intelligencer, of Saturday : TO TIIE VOTERS OF GEORGIA. The sudden withdrawal of my name as a candidate for the office of Governor at the approaching election, would seem to require some explanation from me.— As many of you personally know, I was urgently solicited to become a candidate by lending citizens of different.pai ts of the State, irrespective of political differ ences or former party allignmeets. Be fore announcing my name, I carefully examined the Reconstruction act, cons ferred with intelligent members of the Boards of Registration, and consulted the ablest counsel accetsible to me, as to my eligibility for the office ; and, being satisfied that I was elligible, my name was placed before the people as a can didate. I yielded to the urgent and repeated ‘solicitations to become a candidate, with ths hope, and under the assurance, that such a course otfc ray part would proba bly harmonize and unite the various el ements on the issues now disturbing the publto mind, and aid in establishing law, order, and good government. I felt a grateful pride in the fact that the announcement of roy name as a candi date for Governor of Georgia, was res ponded to from every part of the State in a manner that gave unmistakable indications of my success ; but having been officially informed that General Meade did not conceive me eligible for the office, nnd that if I should be elect ed, he would feel compelled to decline permitting me to qualify, I did not fefcl willing to embarrass the people of Georo gia by continuing longer in the field.— Under these cironmstanoes I promptly withdrew from the candidacy, in order to give you an opportunity of uniting on some one whose eligibility was un questionable. I understand that the name of the Hon. John B. Gordon, of the county of Fulton, (whose eligibility is said to be conceded by Gen. Meade,) has been announced as a candidate for GRIFFIN, GA., APRIL 18, 1808. Governor. I have known Gen. Gordon for years; he is a gentleman of acknowl edged ability, unquestionable patriot ism, and irreproachable character emu nently worthy of your confidence and support. No matter whether he be for or against the ratification of the Consti tution submitted to you, if he should be elected, and the Constitution should be ratified, h» will take an oath to support it and no man who knows John B. Gor don can doubt for one moment that he would administer the government ac cording to tho Constitution nnd laws, and for the real welfare and permanent good of thejpeople, irrespective of pars tyisra or color. Sincerely thanking the people of Georgia for their expressions of confi dence, and plelges of support, whilst I was a candidate, and earnestly hoping that our troubles mny soon terminate in the establishment of peace, order, and sound constitutional government, I am your obedient and humble servant, David Irwin. April 6th, 1868. TO TOB PEOPLE OF TIIE TniRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. Having been nominated by the Con servatives and Democrats as their can didate for Congress in this District, I beg leave to say that tho time between this and the day of the election is so short, that it will be impossible for mo to visit any considerable number of counties in the District. I trust that this will not be expected, as I am sure it cannot be necessary. The danger which thieatens us is so great, and the path of duty so plain, that our frionds cannot requiro any promptings at my hands. The peace of society, the safety of our women and children, the preser vation of republican Government, and of liberty, are all involved in the con test before us. If we win, we win all. If we lose, we loge all. Is not this fearful truth sufficient to bring every man, and every woman too, up to the line of duty ? The women of the South are more deeply interested in the result, if possible, than the men ; and they have shown what they can do when they try. Then, will they not try now f But if has been suggested that a visit to the eounties in the northern part of the District might not be with out its benefit. After that, I shall be subjeot to the calls of our friends in other por tions of the Distriot. Meanwhile, let us organize and prepare ourselves to discharge our whole duty. Old parties are dead and buried, and let the ani mosities and hatreds which they engen dered sleep in the grave with them. It . is no paltry question of politics that en gages our attention now, but rather whether tho whits people of Georgia shall remain free, or become, practical ly, slaves. In such a contest, there should be no differences among white men, nor indeed among intelligent and well meaning colored men, for whatev er wrongs may be inflicted upon the former, will be oertain to fall upon the latter also. By proper effort, the freed men may be brought to understand and appreciate this truth. It would seem, then, the part of wisdom to make this effort. I have no more interest in the result of the coming election than any other man in the community. The nomination was wholly unexpected and undesired by me, and was made not* withstanding my protest against it— But it has been made and aooepted, and if our friends will act with zeal and en ergy, they can eleot their oandidate for Governor, as well as a majorty of their candidates for Congress and the State Legislature. It is with them to win or lose. P. W. Alexander Oolumbus, April 3,1863. A correspondent of the Indian apolis Journal says Johnson ‘threw away the grandest opportunity of mak ing a people happy they over had.” Its way of making people happy is like the child’s “Mammy, oh I Mammy,” shriek ed the infant, “make Johnny lot me alone.” “What are you doing ?" asked the mother. “-I’m playin’ sohool inarm, and he won't let me.” “Wont let you do what?” “Won’t let me turn up 'sis ter’s coat and spank herewith the fire ahovel,” said the injured innocence.— That is it; the Radioals would be a per fectly happy people, if Johnson would only let them pound the South with the fire-shovel, and be has thown awav the grandest opportunity in the world for promoting suoh happiness. —Louisville Item. “Save This One.” —ln a oertain fam ily. not long since, a pair of twins made their appearance, and as a matter of course, were shown to their little sis ter of four years. Now it had so hap pened that whenever a prolific cat of the household had kittens, one of thetn —of course the prettiest, was saveditand the reßt drowned. When the twins were shown the child by their happy father, little M looked at them long and earnestly, and at length putting her little finger tip on the cheek, of one of them, looked up, nnd said with all the seriousness possible—Papa, “I think we’ll save this one." TO THE DEMOCRATIC CLUBS OF GEORGIA. Rooms Central Ex. Com., ) Nat. Dem. Party of Ga* V Macon, April 13; IS6B. j The Secretariea of the Democrutio Clubs are requested to send to J. R. Sneed, Esq Secretary Central Execu tive Committee, Macon, the result of the approaching election in their respective eounties, giving the full vote for or against the Constitution, for each can didate for Governor, for each oandidate for Congress, for each candidate for Senator, and for eaoh candidate for the representative branch a&tbe Genoral Assembly. m In counties in which no Democratic Ciubs have been organised, some active member of the jDemocrjltio party is re- to attend to this duty. After the votes aratoounted, and the result known in each county, it is de sirable (list a corrtdk report be made to ths Ceutral Executive Committee, as soon as possible. E. G. OABAjpSS.

Meade hne determined to do what be can to prevent the fraudulent tampering with the registration lists now going on in the interests pf the Radical party. Let every man who has registered heretofore, remember that be can vote in tho coming election, evon if his name has reoontly been striokon off: Tta.oqu aktsim Third sfct.iTa*y District, ) Dkp't or Gkokoix, Ai.au*-a anu I'iokij*, v Atlanta ©a., April 18, ISttw j General Orders No. sft] Whereas, It has berin reported to f}ie Commanding General, from several parts of the Stato of Georgia, that very many names have been stricken from the list of registered voters, without any cause being assigned tor said striking off, er an opportunity given to voters heretofore registered to meet the objec tions received in their cases; and whereas, it is tho determination of the Commanding General that all candi dates in tho approaching election shall have every opportunity to show from official data, whether said election has been honSstly and fairly oonducted, and in aocordance with law ; it is hereby ORDERED, That all managers of elections shall reoeive the votes of all such persons as shall havo beeu stricken from the regis tered list during the last five days revis ion; not counting said votes,but keeping them separate, with the uonp*.of tho persons presenting them written on the back, and said votes shall be bent in a separate envelope with the raturns made of eaid election, to be compared with the reasons required by law to be sent to these Headquarters, whenever any Board of Registration shall deem it proper to strike names from the Regis tration list. By order of Major General Meade. R. C. Drum, Ass’t Adj’t Gen. Tbs Shoe Pinches. —At a meeting in Illinois, a resolution was offered sugges ting Mr. Pendleton as the Democratic oandidate for President. Mr. Springer, of Springfield, proposed the motion and said: Again, I am frank to say that I do not know whether Mr. Pendleton is the prop er man to nominate or not. Aside from the question of his unavailabilty in some of the States, I have another question that I would propound to him before I should favor his nomination for the Pres idency. I should want to know of Mr. reudleton, whether, in the event of his constitutional eleotion, counting out the negro votes of the negro State Govern* meats of the South, he means to be Pres ident, even if be has to be sworn in at home, and fight his way to Washington at the head of an organized Democratic army? I fear itiscoming to this. The Radioals mean to count the negro votes of ten negro governmentt, which have no more right to be counted than bave an equal number of votes in Iluyti or Liberia, in order to elect their man. If we are going to submit to this outrage, we may as well quit now. For I tell you wo cannot carry enough States at the North to overoome the negro votes of the South. Hence lam for no n.an for President who is not willing to stake his property, his life, his all, for the cause ; and if constitutionally elected, be willing to draw his sword, call the Democratic hosts to arms, and claim the Presidential office at all hazards I If Mr. Pendleton will do this, then I am for him ; if not, lam against him. If we mean ‘business,’ let us understand ourselves, and act accordingly. If child’s play, I want to be counted out. VQu At present, says the New York Herald, there are more murders and lynohings of whites by blacks in the Southern satrapies than of blacks by whites. But ail the latter are classed by Radical orators and organs as polit* ical and rebellious outrages by a my thical organization called the “Kuklux •Klan”—whatever they may mean, while the murderers practically organized by the Bureau—the murders of whites byjjgfeks are euphemistically palliated sMicts proceeding from the wild justice of an outraged people.” gy Michigan has voted down negro suffrage by a m|S§fity of thirty thou sand. There is £■ a single State in the Union, North (MjwUh, East or West, NO." 03. which is in favor of that measure.— There is not one which would not re ject it to morrow. But what do we see? A lot of men, calling themselves the Representatives of the State, at Wash ington, seeking to force negro suffrage upon the whole country. Are they not beautiful Representatives? Perseverance. —The case of Mrs. Gen. Gaines will show what even a wo* man can do by a steadiness of purpose, determination and perseverance. The long pending case in the United States Supreme Court has just been finally de cided in her favor, after being in court for thirty.six years. The property in volved is in New Orleans, and is com* puled at seven millions^ofdollars^^ CANDIDATES. FOR CONGRESS—Fucsts Cokusxsaiorax Dis trict Hus. C A.
