Deranged on account of the flood.—
When we go to press the election in

THE M'CRO LI.ECTIOM.
The votes show that the white
man's ticket has been beaten in Bald
win on an average of over two hun
dred votes. This, under all the cir
cumstances, is perhaps what might
have been expected, but it is much
worse than it should have been. Had
we been properly organized two or
three weeks ago we could easily have
elected our ticket. In spite of all the
threats and coercion ot the negro, over
two hundred negro men voted with us.
All honor to those colored men who
nobly dared to stand by their white
friends in defiance ot all the threats ot
the league. The whole election was
calculated to bring elections into con
tempt, and that is probably what the
Radical leaders want. If they can
disgust the people with a Republican
government they will then be prepar
ed to submit to a dictator. And noth
ing could be imagined better calculat
ed to produce this disgust than such an
election as we hare just passed through.
Many of the negroes did not know
what names were on their tickets.
When asked who or what they were
voting for, would answer, “ Don't
know; T uas fold to put dis paper in de box
nn Tin girinc to do it." This was all
they knew or cured about the voting,
and the result is what might have
been expected. Those two negroes
who have been elected to represent
Baldwin county have not the confi
dence and respect cf a dozen white
men, or of the most respectable color
ed men in the county. They repre
sent the ignorance, the vice and the
bad feelings of the League. We hope
the conservative portion of our citi
zens, of all colors, have been taught a
lesson by this election that will do
them good hereafter. They must now
see that unless they wish to give up
the country to the management of two
or three of the worst negroes in the
community they must have a thorough
organization all over the country. In
this way, and in this way only, they
will be able to know their friends from
their enemies, and in this way they will
be able to protect their friends from
the threats of their enemies. In this
way also they will be able to prevent
many of the frauds that are r.ow prac
ticed' at the elections. Let us organ
ize immediately. Now, whilst our
mistakes are staring us in the face, let
us prepare to profit by them in the
future.

By passengers who came down the
Georgia Railroad yesterday evening,
we learn that in Newton, Gwinnett,
Walton, Wilkes andCiarkecountiesthe
negroes in large numbers are voting
with the Democrats, while the
white vote is solid and strong the same
way.
From Greene, Morgan, Warren and
Glascock the accounts are not so good,
the negroes being almost wholly under
the influence of the Loyal Leagues, and
voting under the orders of their Dri
vers.
A merchant of this city received a
letter from Wilkes, which we learn
conveyed the intelligence that the ne
groes are still acting with the Demo
crats, and the latter are confident of
carrying the county, although there
is a large negro preponderance there.

Last Saturday theLadiesof Milledge
viile and vicinity, met at the Cemetery
to pay the annual offering of respect
and love lor those brave men who fell
in defence of the lost cause. The
monument to the strange soldiers who
were buried here was beautifully or
namented with wreaths and garlands
of flowers. Several appropriate mot
toes were inscribed upon the monu
ment, and a piece of beautiful poetry
was dedicated to our fallen heroes by
Miss Carrie Bell Sinclair, which is
published in our present issue. At
night an eloquent eulogy was deliver
ed by Mr. Whitaker, in memory of
those who gave their lives for the de
fence of the South. Some beautiful
songs were sung, before and after the
address, bv several young ladies and
gentlemen. We hope our people will
continue every year to celebrate the
heroic deeds of those who died for the
lost cause. If we can do nothing
more for them, we can cherish their
names and “ long keep their memory
green in our souls. ”
A good conscience is to the soul

Muscogee.—The canvass yesterday
was as active as on Monday, and quite
a number of colored voters supported
the Democratic ticket. The contiu-

ty box indicated that the Radicals
were making an effort to block up
that box against the whites.—
Many whites, after remaining for a
long time seeking an opportunity to

without depositing their votes. We

to carry the election by fraud, and to
trust to the Radical Rump Congress to
ratify' the infamous work. Upon an
examination of the registry,
opening of the pells, it was discover-j
ed that about two hundred names of ;
white voters had been recently strick-1
en from the list, among whom were I
almost the entire list of challengers, I
appointed by the Young Men’s Demo-;
cratic Association.
This and other facts were immedi
ately telegraphed to Gen. Meade, who
responded in turn that the, action of
the Registrars was fraudulent and il
legal, that he would hold them to a
rigid responsibility, and requested that
the proof be furnished him at once.
The most damning and conclusive
proofs of lying, swindling and cheat
ing upon the part oflluibert and his
creatures, lias been obtained in the
shape of affidavits and statements, and
have been forwarded by mail to At
lanta. It has been asc *rtained that al
most every one of the parties stricken
from the lists is clearly entitled to vote
under the most stringent interpreta
tion of the Reconstruction acts.
That the board of Registrars have
studiously deceived parties as to their
status upon the books. That the strikes !
have been made in secret, and that as j
late as Saturday last the registry books i
were opened in secret for the registra-j
tion of negro voters. That the registrars j
have published a fraudulent list of reg
istered voters, and are conducting the
election under an entirely different list.
The weight of evidence establishes the
fact that Hulbert has manipulated the
lists or haJ it done under his instruc
tions, in direct violation of the orders
of Gen. Meade, and that the plan is to
exclude enough of the white vote in
each county to secure the triumph of
Bullock. If the trick has been fixed ‘
up in other counties as it has been ;
done here, it is easy to see that no j
exertion upon the part of the Demon
cracy can secure success.
The hope is indulged that Gen.
Meade will act promptly in this mat
ter and checkmate this deliberately
planned villiany. The registrars here
absolutely refuse to receive the votes
of those stricken, as they were directed
to do by General Orders No. 59.
Comment up >n the above statement
of facts, which is strictly true, would
be superiiuous. The mere recital of
these wrongs is sufficient to show to
the country the utter depravity of
thut party which is seeking to perpet
uate its power by every species of
fraud and force that human ingenuity
can suggest or devise.

HEALTH OF WOMAN.
We were consulted some time ago
by an elegant lady of fashionable life
on account of two of her beautiful
daughters, who were as sylph-like and
symmetric as fashion could make them,
but who showed too plainly that their

as debility could mar them without ac

of disease. “Oh, what shall I do for

In the town of Milton, Wayne coun
ty, Indiana, the other night, a purty
of about twenty women, with the as
sistance of five or six men, visited
Crane’s and Bratton’s whiskey shops,
broke down the doors with axes, de
molished the furniture and spilled the
fiery fluid in the street. This action
is supposed to indicate a prejudice in
the minds of the Miltonian amazons
against the business of whiskey selling.
Miss A. Harris, of Winston county,
Mississippi, last year raised a bale of
cotton weighing six hundred pounds.
The entire work of planting, cultivat
ing, picking and ginning was done by
herself. The cotton was sold a few
days ago for SI92, bringing four cents
a pound above the average market
price, on account of its superior qual
ity and cleanliness.

surprise, she said, “What sort of minds
would they have, what sort of bodies?”

When the tread-mill was introduced
as a mode of punishmeut, the wretch
ed prisoners felt themselves more de
graded by “doing nothing,” as they
called it, than by their crimes. How
many ladies in fashionable life are
doomed for years to feel the bitterness
of ‘ do nothing!” What wonder if they
are nervous, irritable and diseased.
Useful work, or satisfactory employ
ment, is as essential to the healtii of
the mind as to that of the body.
The first and strongest principle of
our nature is that of rectitude, or
what ought to be. Every human be
ing is possessed of this lofty but awful
feeling—the deep sense of rectititude
or propriety. A feeling which is never
satisfied, is a perpetual source of mise
ry, like hunger unappeased, or appe
tite uncatered for. Can any woman,
surveying her body, or considering her
mind, seriously conclude that she is
not called upon for any useful work,
or necessary contribution to society?
and that to be adorned and admired is
all her duty and her destiny? This
would exclude her from the republic
of mind and morals, and class her with
pet animals and flowers.—Dr. Dixon.

Influence of Happiness Over the
Mind.—It should never be forgotten
that the happier a child is the clever
er he will he. This is not only be
cause, in a state of happiness the mind
is free, and at liberty for the exercise
of its faculties, instead of spending its
thoughts and energies in brooding over
troubles; but also because the action
of the brain is stronger when the frame
is in a state of hilarity ; the ideas are
more clear; impressions of outward
objects are more vivid ; and the mem
ory will not let them slip. This is
reason enough for the mother to take
some care that she is the cheerful
guide and comforter of her child. If
she is anxious or fatigued, she will ex
ercise some control over herself, and
speak cheerfully, and try to enter free
ly into the subject of the moment; to
meet the child’s mind, in short, instead
of making him sink for want of com
panionship.
to be skimmed, without regard to
time. On pushing the cream a little
from the side of the pan, the milk may
be plainly seen. If it looks blue and
thin, it is time to take the cream. If
white and thick, it is evidence that the
cream has not all risen.
Every time the pans are skimmel,
a little salt should be thrown into the
pot with the cream, and the whole
stirred together. If this is not done,
the milk—which it is impossible to
prevent going into the pot with the
cream—will separate from the cream,
turn bitter, and spoil the whole. This
is quite often the cause of bad butter.
When the cream is turned into the
churn it should be all alike.—Ahora-

I Keep the cream where the milk is
kept, and at the same temperature.
Churn often. Where dairying is a
business, the rule is to churn every
morning. In a small way, we cannot
do so, perhaps not oftener than once a
week; but where the cream is salted
and kept as stated above, it will be
sweet at the end of seven days. Still,
we would advise churning whenever
there is cream for six or eight pounds
of butter.
In churning bring everything to the
same temperature, about 62 degress—
cream, churn and dasher. If there is
no thermoneter at hand, exercise your
judgment, and there will soon be do
need of a thermometer. We never use
one now. If the weather is very cold,
bring the churn into the kitchen over
night, so that it may be warmed
through. Before using it pour in
boiling water and let it touch every
part of the inside evenly; turn it out
and rinse with cold water. Put the
cream into the churn and add a little
warm sweet milk.
Churn steadily and moderately, aud
the butter will usually come within
twenty-five minutes. When it is
brought together, add just water
enough to wash off the buttermilk.
Have a wooden tray and a wooden
spoon at hand; scald them, rinse with
cold water, place the butter in the
tray and work it over with the spoon.
Add a common tablespoonful of sale
for each pound of butter. Work over
till the buttermilk is apparently out.
When this is completed, set it away
until the next morning in a place as
warm as where the cream was collect
ed. If in a cooler place, it will he

be difficult to handle. Work out the
remaining buttermilk, and make it in
to lumps or pack down into tubs.
Such are the rules observed in our
kitchen, by the mistress of the house,
for more than twenty years, aud with
uniform excellent results. The butter
made is not merely sweet, but has that
delicious aroma that nothing can imi

with only the additional preparations
of subsoiling to the depth of twelve
or fifteen inches. He has seen a very
fine article of wine made by simply
pressing out the juice, putting it into
casks, and then rolling them into a
hole dug in the hillside, and covering
them with rough boards.
He finds that the most desirable
vines for planting are strong, one year
old plants, which have been grown
from cuttings ; the principal roots be
ing about ten inches below the sur
face at the lower end of the cutting.
A good vine should have at least two
feet of well ripened wood and roots,
which can only be secured by grow
ing it on at least two superficial feet of
space. He plants his cuttings in row’s
four feet apart, and one foot asunder
in the row s, and generally succeeds in
making nine-tenths of them grow.
He experimented last year with two
hundred thousand vines, with marked
success. He says that summer pinch
