THE FEDERAL UNION.
Corner of Hancock and Wilkinson Streets.)
Wednesday Morning, October 11.1871,
I,«OK* I.IKR BISISESS.
Our City Council of Milledgeville
and the Trustees of the Milledgeville
Presbyterian Church High School, a
corporate body, vie with each other in
liberal offers to the State of Georgia to
secure the location of the proposed
Agricultural and Military College, ei
ther in the State House at Milledge
ville, or in the Presbyterian College,
formerly called “Oglethorpe,” in sight
of the State House. The City Coun
cil yesterday voted a splendid farm of
500 acres, worth $50 per acre, or $25,-
000 as a free gift, if the State will es
tablish the College in the old State
Houses ; and the Church Trustees have
made a deed of gift to the State for
their old “ Oglethorpe College” on
Midway Ridge, in sight of the State
House, and fifty acres of land and six
teen college buildings:—a charming
site, the best of all—worth $200,-
000—worth more than all the land
given to the State by Congress.
Either one or both of these gen
erous gifts is at the option of the
Statt. The Agricultural College can
well occupy both the State House and
Oglethorpe College—but, in truth, the
church gift of their Oglethorpe Coliege
is the best. Now will the State be as
liberal as the people of Milledgeville '{
IYE1V.TIOVEJIE3ITS OF THE ATI.AVI'A
KINO.
Tn a late letter from Atlanta, pub
lished in the Chronicle & Sentinel, it is
stated that there will be a desperate
effort made by the Atlanta Ring to de
feat Judge Reese for President of the
Senate. They fear if Reese is elected
President of the Senate, an able and
honest committee will be appointed to
investigate Bullock’s management of
the finances of Georgia, and Blodgett’s
management ofthe State Road—neither
of which will bear investigation by
honest men. It is, therefore, proposed
to defeat Judge Reese, and elect some
fishy Democrat President of the Senate
—one that can be influenced by bribes,
and who.will bailie an investigation, as
was done last year by putting dishon
est men on committees. We are well
aware of the influences which can be
Drouglit to near on members of the
Legislature in Atlanta, and if it is pos
sible the Ring will seek to get control
of a majority of the members. For this
reason it is very important that men
entirely above suspicion should be elec
ted President of the Senate and Speak
er of the House. If it is very impor
tant for the Ring todefeat Judge Reese,
it is equally important for honest men
to have him elected, and the way to
do it is for all the honest men of the
Legislature to meet in caucus and
make their nominations, and the man
that will not abide by the nomination,
let him be held by the true men as a
publican and heathen.
THE STATE CAPITAL.
We observe that in many counties
the Grand Juries in their General Pre
sentments recommend their represen
tatives to vote and use their influence
in favor of restoring the Capital to
Milledgeville, from whence it was ta
ken by fraud and trickery. The con
vention which passed the ordinance
for moving the Capital, it is well
known, did not represent the tax-pay
ers of Georgia. Many of them were
adventurers and vagabonds. The man
who professed to represent Baldwin
county in that convention (Richardson)
was not known to a single white man
in the county, and never, we are told,
spent but one night in the county in
his life, and hailed from Scowhegan,
Maine; and yet it was by such men,
and by the basest falsehoods that the
Capital was moved.
The Legislature about to assemble
is the first real representative body
that has met in Georgia since the Cap
ital was carried to Atlanta. The tax
payers of the State have borne the
burdens heaped upon them by the At
lanta ring until they can bear them no
longer—they are crushed to the earth,
and they call upon the present Legis
lature to relieve them. Honest men
have found out long ago that it was
very difficult for honest legislation to
be carried on in Atlanta. The outsidt
pressure is too severe, and they all want
a place where they can legislate with
freedom, and where the galleries of
their legislativ e halls cannot, at a day’s
notice, be filled with railroad hands, as
they were when the Opera House was
purchased.
If the members of the Legislature
have any doubt of the wishes of the
people on this point, let them leave it
to a Vote of the people. The people
of Atlanta- have openly and palpably
violated the covenant they made with
the convention, and the people are not
pow bound by it, if they ever wire.

I notice in your p .per of the2d inst.,
t! at a writer using the signature of
“ Georgia” suggests the name of Gen.
Aitred Colquitt as the Democratic can
didate. No one has a higher opinion
of this noble man than I have, and
would more readily support him—but
he is under a political disability—hav
ing before the war been both a mem
ber of the Georgia Legislature and of
the Congress of the United States.
Col. Tbos. Hardeman, of Bibb, is
also under disability, having been a
member of Congress before the war ;
so, too, Gen. Benning, having been
udge of the Supreme Court; so, too,
Judge Linton Stephens; and Hon. Au
gustus Reese, having been Solicitor
General and member of the Legislature
before the war.
It would be idle—worse than idle—
to think or talk of any gentleman for
the office of Governor who is disquali
fied by the amendment to the Consti
tution and the acts of Congress.
Two prominent men—known every
where—alone occur to me as laboring
under no disability. They are Gen’l
John B. Gordon and Gen'l Ambrose It.
Wright of Augusta. Gen. Gordon has
emphatically declined to allow his
name to be used—controlled as he is
by personal reasons, which should be
respected.
In the case of Gen. Wright there is
no impediment in the way. I know
him well, and whilst there are gentle
men whom I would personally prefer
—but they are disqualified—there is
not among the whole of the persons
spoken of, a truer and more unflinch-
ing opponent of the rascally ring who
have done such harm to Georgia—he is
a man of the highest ability—cool, self-
possessed—with great decision of char
acter, and strong common sense—mak
ing him a thoroughly practical states
man—added to these is his fine admin
istrative talent. When I think of
Wright, I can forgive him for any lit
tle fault he may have committed, as he
proved himself to be a gallant and
skillful soldier, and maintained our
Lost Cause, at all times without falter
ing, and perfect fidelity.
We can elect him beyond all doubt.
I have no apprehension that he will
prove to be “ a trimmer.” Why not,
as there is not the slightest probability
of an amnesty act passing Congress
before the election, so as to remove the
disabilities of the persons herein
named, concentrate .our opinions upon
Wright, and elect him '?
Baldwin.
DestructiveTTike in Chicago.—An
awful conflagration occurred in Chicago
on Monday last, in which 34 blocks, ten
thousand buildings, were destroyed.
The loss is estimated at five hundred
millions dollars. It is said to be the
most destructive fire that ever occurred
in the United States.
Destructive Fires in the North
west.—Very extensive and destructive
fires have been raging in Illinois, Iowa,
Michigan and Minnesota. Houses,
barns, fences, mills, bridges, &c., have
been destroyed, and several lives lost;
in places the whole population was
driven off, and forced to seek shelter in
the neighboring towns and cities.
Texas Election.—The returns, as
far as heard from, show great Demo
cratic gains in every district, and the
probability is that the Democrats have
elected all four of the members. If
that is so it will be a gain of three
members to the Democrats.
Tiie Macon Fair will probably be
the most interesting exhibition of the
kind that ever took place in Georgia.
The people of Macon have at great
trouble and expense got everything
in apple-pie order and expect a large
crowd.

Appleton’s Journal.—We have
frequently called the attention of the
public to this very interesting Journal
of Literature, Science aud Art. Its
character is well sustained. We are
sorry to part with “ Morton House” so
soon, and have a quarrel with the fair
author for breaking off her story so
abruptly, without disposing of and
providing for some of her characters,
for whom we had become interested.
We hope she will make amends by soon
trying her hand at another story.

The Stockholders of the Macon and Augusta Rail

Tuesday. The following Directors were elected :
Charles Estes, M. G. Magrath, S. D. Heard, W. L.
Ellis, Tkos. G. Barnett, W. McGehee. Geo. II. Hazle-

At a meeting of the Directors, Geo. Ilazlehnrst was
elected President, and Dr. J. A- S. Milligan Treasurer.
We clip the following items from the Sandersville
Georgian :
An old farmer of this county, and a successful wheat
grower, tells us‘hat he always sows his wheat when
the ground is so dry that he ean scarcely plow it in,
and lie never lias blasted wheat. On- year a near
neighbot sowed when the ground was wet.. He sowed
in dry weather, in an adjoining field, only a cross fence
separating. His neighbor’s wheat was blasted badly
while his was perfectly sound. He never soaks bis
wheat before sowing. He has been pursuing this
course for many years with perfect success.
Agentleman from Wiikinson county informs ns that
one of the best and most extensive planters in tlint
county will not realize more than an average bale of
cotton to eight acres. The crop, he says, is woefully-
cut off.
A gentleman of this county, assisted by some of his
neighbors, measured an acre of land on his farm last
week, gathered and measured the corn accurately.—
The yield was 41 1-2 bushels and three quarts to the
acre. He is a corn and bacon man.
McCalla, who was on trial in Atlanta in connection
with the State Rond muddle, has been discharged. He
is the man who rapped Farrow witli a stick the other
day.
The Heard County, Georgia, News of the 2Gth nit.
says: “Each day-only the more firmly establishes the
fact of a very short cotton crop in this county. We
have conversed with several farmers in this communi
ty, and the general opinion is that there will not be
more than one-third of a crop made. One gentleman
informs us that his crop will not average more than one
bale to every ten acres. In consequence of the rust
aud dry weather, and the recent damp spell, the bolls
are very-small, and many of them rotting.
Rev. Myram D. Wood, recently tried and con
victed of seduction in DeKalh Snperior Court, was
sentenced to twenty years in the State Penitentiary
last Wednesday by judge Hopkins. Ho has also
been deposed of hts ministerial office by- the Pres
bytery in session at Decatur.
The Macon Citizen prints the following: “ We
learn from a reliable gentleman the following par
ticulars of a terrible tragedy that occurred near
Toomsboro, in Wilkinson county, on Sunday af
ternoon last Our informant states that Mr. .Joel
Dees, an old and highly r. spected citizen of the
conniy above named, was foully murdered by
some person or persons unknown, and his body-
secreted in the woods, nea- his residence. Mr.
Dees was a peaceable, inoffensive old man, and
his untimely taking off by the band of an assassin
cannot be accounted for, inasmuch as he was
known to have no enemy who would peipetrate
such a cowardly, and infamous crime. We are
glad to know that the killing of Mr. Dees cannot
be attributed to political matters, ns it is well
known to the friends of the deceased, ourselves
among the number, that he was never a partisan,
and was generally inclined to eschew polities alto
gether.”

Fori.
Eds. Pki<s & Herald: We notice
in the Chattanooga Times, of the 1st
inst., the following :
“Col, Joseph Hodgson, of Mont
gomery, in his eulogy of Gen. Clanton
speaks of his assassination as a pre
meditated allair, and alleges that the
introduction of Gen. Clanton to Col.
Nelson was made by Col. Fcrt lor the
purpose of bringing about the fatal re
sult. Tins statement does Col. Fort
the greatest injustice,” &c.
In justice to Col. Fort, we, the un
dersigned, members of the bar of the
4th Circuit of East Tennessee, submit
the following statement :
We were in Knoxville in attendance
upon the Supreme Court, at the time
of the unfortunate meeting of Colouel
Nelson and General Clanton, and while
most of us did not witness the rencon
tre, we have all heard the statement
of reliable persons who. were present
or near when General Clanton was
killed. From the facts as detailed, so
far as we have been enabled to ascer
tain them, we feel authorized and con
strained to say, that there is not the
least evidence to show that Col. Fort
either anticipated or desired any diffi
culty between the parties ; all the facts
and circumstances as detailed show
that the meeting and introduction of
General Clanton and Colonel Nelson
was accidental.
We are and have been for some time
perfectly acquainted with Golonel
Fort, and do not believe him capable
ofthe treachery attributed to him by
Colonel Hodgson, as stated in the fore
going article.
Our information is that the personal
relations existing between Gen. Clan
ton and Col. Fort, up to the death of
the former, were of a cordial and
friendly character.
We make this statement unsolicited
and only for the purpose of preventing
injustice being done to Col. Fort.

Young Ladies to the Front.—It
is to be hoped that the Gram) Duke
Alexis, the son of the Czar of Russia,
now on his way to this country, will
he saved one serious infliction that re
peatedly befell the Prince of Wales on
his visit to this city and other places
in the United States. The Prince,
who had an eye for youth and beauty,
was constantly compelled, much to his
dissatisfaction, to accept as his part
ner in the dance some antiquated mat
ron, fat and forty, and upward. The
wives and mol hers of our riper public
functionaries, and even some of the
dowagers, insisted upon dancing with
his Royal Highness aud displayed
their ample and matured forms with
the grace aud agility of Anne of Cleves
on a Flanders mare. In Canada this
thing was pushed so far that the
Prince rebelled ; aud after being pull
ed about by the mothers and aunts in
Toronto, much to the annoyance and
envy of their daughters and nieces, he
swore he had danced with old women
enough to answer the requirements of
etiquette, and he intended for the fu
ture to amuse himself with the pretty
girls. The same thing was repeated
at the ball given him here. He was
compelled to caper with, middle-aged
women until the Duke of Newcastle,
out of sheer compassion, snatched him
from their clutches.
We do not see how the Russian
Prince is to be kept free from the
wives and mothers of the eminent cit
izens who have assumed to take him
in charge in this city, unless Madame
Cataeazy comes to the rescue. She is
a lady of much social and polite expe
rience, and her tact and address may
he equal to his extrication in case he
should fall into the hands of the stout,
matrons who rendered the Prince of
Wales miserable. Undoubtedly she
will take care that the- elderly ladies
who snubbed and slandered her in
Washington are not the first who are
presented to the GraudDuke.—N. Y.

ing comment on the State Road prose
cutions :
The news from Atlanta seems to in
dicate that there is sad want of discre
tion on the part of those who are act
ing for the people in the investigation
of the State Road robbers. *We hope
that General Toombs will take control
of the matter, and not permit prosecu
tions to be begun merely to gratify per
sonal spleen before the evidence in
each case is fully prepared. With the
most cautious management and intel
ligent forecast, the difficulties in the
way of procuring satisfactory evidence
will he great, and those having control
of the matter during General Toombs’
absence, should be Careful to make no
premature or precipitate action. Let
us have no arrests in cases, where the
evidence is not certain to procure a
conviction. Mere arrests are not
what tbe people want. They want
the thieves who have been robbing the

Bradfikld's Female Regulator.—We have
often re-id in the newspapers of the grar.J success
of medical compounds put up at the North and
elsewhi-re Many ot these medicines have had
their day, and we heard no more of them. Their
proprietors have made fortunes, not so much from
their curative powers and virtues of their mixtures
as from the notoriety given them by advertising,
by which people were made to believe all the good
that was said of them. \ p eparation is now be
fore the public which is becoming very popular,
and is known as Bradtield’s Female Regulator,
put up by L II. Bradiield of Atlanta, Ga., at .-gtI 50
per bottle. .Such is its curative virtues, that it has
gaimd wide-spread popularity all over the coun
try where it has been made known, and it is being
introduced everywhere. We are informed that
immense quantities of this medicine are being sold
in all sections of the South and Southwest, espe
cially in the city of New Orleans and in Texas.
This much we say in justice to its proprietor,
who is a gentleman of integrity, who would not
engage iu the manufacture-and sale of a humbug.

ges our coast may undergo in the next

Very respectfully yours,
