Call for a State Democratic Conven
tion.
Atlanta, Ga.. June 26, 1872.
At a meeting of tlie Executive Com
mittee of the State, held this day, it was
resolved, that a Convention of the Dem.
ocratic party be held in the city of Atlan
ta. on Wednesday, the 24th day of Jnlv
next, at 12 M„ in the Capitol building
in Atlanti, for the purpose of nominating
an electoral ticket, and a candidate foi
Governor. Counties will be entitled to
the usual representation.

THE CB0RCIA CONVENTION AND
ms POLItlUAU tfCTI.UOK,
The Georgia Convention has met,
acted and adjourned. The political
leaders in the Convention were afraid
to try the Greeley or the anti-Greeley
strength of the meeting, but the dele
gates to Baltimore are claimed as
Greeley men, and although they go
without instruction, the Greeley pa
pers claim them, and seem to take for
granted that they will vote for Gree
ley. We differ lolo celo with the
Telegraph & Messenger, as to the
cause and nature of this Greeley move
ment at the South. We believe if
every white man in Georgia were
polled on the subject that four out of
five would have voted against Greeley.
But this Greeley movement at the
South has been got up by those poli
ticians who have become heart-hun
gry for office, and were willing to
support any man whom they believe
would give them office. But what
ever was the cause of this movement
there cau be no doubt it has assumed
formidable dimensions, and it uow
looks as if Greeley would be endorsed
at Baltimore. As we have frequently
said before, we expect to support the
nominee of the Baltimore Convetion,
even if it is Horace Greeley ; and be
tween Greeley and Grant we greatly
prefer the former. We consider Grant
a dangerous man on account of his in
fluence over the army, and his dispo
sition to rule by military force. Horace
Greeley is not a military man, and is
not dangerous, and he is pledged if
elected to serve only one term. We
therefore, if compelled to chose be
tween him and Grant, greatly prefer
Greeley.
— ♦ —i
The Man Has Come and His Name
is Ben Hill.—We frequently hear
about a coming man, but we think the
man has already come, and his name
js Ben Ilill. Ben has long been noted
for his propensity to go ahead of the
music. He has for some time been
looking for a chance to take the lea i
in some new movement, and this Gree
ley movement is one after his own
heart. Ben don’t believe in working
for nothing, so he went to New York
just before the meeting of the Geor
gia Convention, and it is said pledged,
Georgia for Greeley. What Greeley
promised Ben does not yet appear, but
it should be something handsome, for
the vote of Georgia. If Greeley is
elected in all probability Ben will be
promoted. From present appear
ances the Georgia Convention and her
delegates to Baltimore, are all parts of
the programme, and intended to be
used by Mr. Hill in fulfilling his con
tract with Greeley. There are some
of the delegates to Baltimore from
Georgia, who we suspect would not
like to be used as stepping stones for
Ben Hill to walk over into office. But
probably in less than a year they will
be convinced that they have been so
used. Ben, no doubt, believes he is
master of the situation, but Greeley is
remarkable for his eccentricities, and
may change his mind, and Mr. Hill
may yet be disappointed.

ticular attention of the people of
Georgia to the fact of the great out
rage perpetrated upon the people of
this section of our State, and upon all
Georgians, by the illegal Scallawag
removal of the Capital from Milledge-
ville, and we remind the people of
the importance of taking action upon
this question and cor sidering what is
the best disposition that can be made,
of the vast amount of State property
in Milledgeville, that has cost them
nearly one million of dollars. And
we impress upon them the assurance
that their magnificient buildings here
are standing in an almost perfect con
dition, ready to receive the represen
tatives of the people, and it should be
borne in mind, that Gov. Jenkins ex
pended over one hundred thousand
dollars since the war in improving
these buildings, and we respectfully
suggest that each county hold a public
meeting for the purpose of making
knowu the desire of the people on
the Capital question.
A Resolution was then introduced
by Capt. T F Newell, and adopted,
which read as follows :
“That all voters, white or colored in
this countv who wish to become mem
bers of the Democratic Club, are here
by invited to subscribe to the Consti
tution and By-Laws of this body, now
to be found in the office of Sanford &
Furman.”
The motion for adjournment was

Milledgeville, July 2d, 1S72.
Messrs. Editors: The time is near at
hand when the people of Baldwin
county will have to select a man to
represent them in the State Legisla
ture. We should act wisely, cautious
ly, and for the good of the county and
State. We want an able and energet
ic man to represent us, and f would
propose the name of John H. Fur-
nian, Esq., who, in my opinion, com
bines all the elements which are neces
sary to our success. He is to the ma
nor born, and feels deeply lor the suc
cess ol Miiiedgeville and the county
interests—on the Capital question,
and for all questions which will ad
vance the interests of the South.
He is a good and true man, and from
an intimate connection with him lor
several years, I believe him to be a
young man of as much intellect and
energy as any other young man in the
State. I predict for him a brilliant
future for himself, and an able defend
er of Southern interests and Southern
rights. I hope he will be selected by
the people of Baldwin as our Repre
sentative at the county election. You
may depend on his ability, energy and
fidelity to our interests.

The Oconee Tub Flotilla.
This interesting and exciting exhibi
tion (the first ever seen in this region)
was viewed by a iarge assembly of the
ladies and gentlemen of Milledgeville,
on last Tuesday evening. The whole
scene presented was highly beautiful
and picturesque. The Oconee, wend
ing its way through the green islands,
and dashing in foamy cataracts over
the rocks, and gliding smoothly on irs
way, laving the green willows, which
like a long curtain fringe the eastern
shore, which the clear waters reflected
like a rain. On tiie western bank of
the river were assembled the specta
tors—the brilliant and beautiful dress
es of tlie ladies being in strict contrast
with the bright greeu plain which
stretched from the water’s edge to the
distant hills westward. The sun, near
ly setting, cast his cool shadow over the
plain and river, while over all spread
a clear blue sky, on which slowly
moved majestic white clouds like ships
at sea. The low evening winds waft
ed tlie distant roar of the cataract and
the murmur and clatter of the mill.
Across the river was hitched a long
cavle, to which was moored the fol
lowing vessels:

Sirce the rains, the largest corn
crop is perdicted for Floyd known in
ten years. The cotton crop, though
very backward, is also looking up.
At half past six the signal was given
to cut loose from the moorings. The
whole being under the command oi
Commodore Hunter, who took post on
the extreme left of the line, and in the
center of the river—his broad pennant
being a large boquet, elevated on a
broom handle.
Instantly at the command every
vessel was under way, amidst the wild
cheering of the multitude on the banks,
and waving of hats and handkerchiefs.
Some vessels foundeted ai d never have
been found, and with them were lost
their gallant commanders. For a long
time the contest was betweeu the cur
vets Whiskeystraight and Letterripp,
but on the close of tlie contest it was
found tiiat the cutter Onthefly, com
marnied by C. Case, by superior sea
manship won the race.
The command of the Foulandout
received the negative atrard oj jamc for
being the first of the Flotilla to tall
“ out” in the river and capsize his boat.
At the conclusion of the regetta, the
following prizes were awarded: To
Commander Case, ol the Onthefly, a
splendid breastpin of block tin, five
inches long, and warranted not to rust
for five years ; its shape was that of a
juvenile perch fish. To the command
er of the Foulandout. Capt. Napier,
was awarded a bottle of pure corn
whiskey, warranted to kill at 40 yards,
suspended by a cotton rope, which
whiskey the Captain of the Fouland
out divided among his wet and cold
fellow soldiers.
The prizes were delivered by Capt.
T. W. White, at the request of the
Judges. The Captain made a few re
remarks in which he was very compli
mentary to the fish, and funny as to
the whiskey.
Hoping that the boys will have
another race soon, and let everybody
know when it comes off’,
I Remain very truly your9,
Katphysh.
P. S. At the close of the above
race one was run by the ‘ Three
Sweet-hearts’ and the batteau ‘Reese’
in which the latter won the prize.

from the wounds received last march
in trying to escape, was assisted to as
cend the scaffold by Mr. B. A. Hud
son. Mr. Lioid then walked up the
steps to the platform with a step of
firmness which betrayed no want ol
courage. They both then set down
upon the floor of the platform until
the rope was fixed around the neck ol
Mr. Lioid, Mr. Holsenbake remain
ing perfectly quiet, watching the op
eratiou. The Sheriff, air. H. A. Lee
then announced to the public that the
prisoners were allowed thirty minutes
each to address them. Mr. Holsen
bake then, assisted by Mr. Hudson and
Mr. Gammage, stood and addressed the
people. He said he was the man who
killed Col. Fish ; but that as he was
wraught upon by other parties, his
mind influenced with a jealous feel
ing against Cm. Fish, from the fact
that these parlies had made him fully
believe that he had the right to be
jealous—that he at last was influenced
to do the deed. He said as for the
complicity of any one else he knew
nothing, and would say nothing. But
he would fully exonorate Fish from
having any criminal intercourse with
his wife
He entreated young men to abstain
from dram shops; to turn from and
shun them as they would the viper,
for a deadly poison they would prove
to them if they did not quit them. He
exhorted all to turn from their sins,
and find salvation through Christ,
which was tlie only means of salvation.
He paid a high compliment to Colonel
Goode and Wallace, his Atterneys,and
also to Sheriff Lee, Mr. Greer, Deputy
Sheriff and Jailor, and requested that
prayer be offered for him. Mr. Lioid
then made a disconnected speech, in
which he protested his innocence, and
expressed his opinion as to the guilt
of other parties yet at large. He la
bored to prove how he had nothing to
do with the murder, but his remarks
were so scattered and disconnected
that no rational conclusion could be
arrived at.
Mr. Lioid was then asked if lie wish
ed prayer offered for him. lie replied
he did not. Then, at the request of
of Mr. Holsenbake, Rev. W. J. Collins,
of Perry, ascended the scaffold, and as
sisted by others, sung the hymn se
lected by himself, “Why should we
start and fear to die,” aud then offered
prayer. During the singing Mr. Hol
senbake expressed a great deal ol feel
ing, exhorting sinners to come to
Christ and be saved. Mr. Lioid re
mained unmoved to the last.
Mr. Holsenbake then expressed a de
sire that the family of Col. Fish would
entertain no unkind feelings for him,
and said he had the best of feelings
towards them—that if any one hud
ought against him he hoped they
would forgive him—that he died with
malice against no one.
Tiie prisoners then both announced
that they were ready, when tlie noose-
cap was adjusted over their heads, and
all other parties descended from the
scaffold, and tlie Sheriff cut the tieddle
rope, and they were launched into
eternity.
After they huDg about twenty min
utes they were cut down and canied
home and delivered to their friends.
DRNOCIUTIC NTATE CONVENTION.
Editorial Carrrapondmce of the frlrgrapli
and Jl*i»cngrr.
At 10 o’clock a. m. the Democratic
State Convention was called to order
by Hon. Julian Hartridge, Chairman
of the Executive Committee. On
motion, W. W. Clark, Esq., of Newton
county, was elected temporary chair
man. Upon taking his scat Mr Clark
said, in substance, this Convention
was the most important body which
has assembled since the war. He
hoped they had come together to re
lieve the country from the intolerable
thraldom of radical oppression. Di
visions and differences Cf opinion
might exist in our ranks, but all good
Democrats should harmonize for the
common good. We had a bold, un
scrupulous enemy to encounter, des
potism to put down, and the rights of
the people and States to restore. Un
ion and co-operation, therefore, were
indispensable if we cherished any hope
of success. Thanking the Convention
for the honor conferred, he then an
nounced the meeting ready for busi
ness.
Col. Styles moved that a committee
of three from each Congressional Dis
trict be appointed to recommend suit
able men as permanent officers of the
Convention.
Pending any action, however, a call
of the counties was ordered, and the
names of delegates duly enrolled.—
The resolution of Mr. Styles then
came up and was adopted, and the
committee on permanent organization
having been designated, retired, and
shortly returned announcing the
name of Col. Albert Lamar, of Musco
gee, as President, and the following
Vice-Presidents : 1st, J. H. Hun
ter ; 2d, R. N. Ely ; 3d, W. A. Lit
tie ; 4th, L. T. Doyal ; 5th, M. W.
Lewis ; 6th, H. P. Bell ; 7th, D. Ir
win.
Secretaries—J- D. Waddell, R. J.
McCamey, T. W. J. Hill L. Carring
ton, and C. H* Williams.
The report was enthusiastically and
unanimously adopted, and a commit
tee consisting of Col. Thomas Harde
man, Gen. A. R. Wright and W. A.
Little, appointed to conduct the pres
ident elect to the chair.
Col. Lamar then adJressed the Con
vention as follows :
Gentlemen of the Convention—I feel
that I could best express my tranks
for the honor you have conferred up
on me by silence.
It is a matter of congratulation that
in this, the most momentous political
crisis which has come upon us since
the revolution which lost to us every
thing save honor, Georgia has sent to
her capital the exemplar ot her wis
dom, integrity and courage to take
counsel together.
For myself, let me invoke your
kindest indulgence and consideration
while I say that the duties devolved
upon me shall be discharged faithfully.
For you, gentlemen, permit me to
invoke that harmony, that good feel
ing and self-abnegation, that should
always control men bound together
r»y ties that link brother to brother.—
As representatives of a great party
which has borne emblazoned upon its
crest for more than half a century the
fundamental principles of personal lib
erty, let us see that when we sei.d our
voice to greet that of our brethren
elsewhere, we abate not one jot or tit
tle of that shibboleth that has often
led us to victory aud always consoled
us in defeat.
Let us march up to this issue as
men prepared to bury in a common
grave personal pride, passion, preju
dice and ambition, and while we see
crumbling around us in a storm which
we could not avert all the monuments
of civil liberty, let us, with a devotion
like oEneas of old, when he bore An-
chises from the burning runs of Troy,
take upon our brawny arm our old
Mother, Georgia, and with stout
hearts march through all dungers to
place her upon a piuacle of safety and
honor.
Mr. Lamar’s speech was received
with unbounded applause, aud he
then announced the Couvention fully
organized and ready for business.
Colonel Thomas Hardeinaa moved
that a committee of three from each
Congressional district be appointed to
prepare business for this meeting, to
was equivalent to affronting the dread
ed Bismarck, as the Pope well knew.
But, in the opinion ot the - Pope, the
Cardinal Prince was appointed to
Rome decidedly more in the interests
of German politics than in those of the
church—which was obviously true—
and he was not willing to have about
him a man in the double capacity of
representative of a Protestant and hos
tile power and also of a cardinal hold
ing a key to all the mysteries of the
Vatican. There was undeniably
something suspicious in the appoint
ment of the Cardinal Prince, and the
Pope had a perfect right to except to
him, but it may be doubted whether
that was a good policy. Following
tlie rejection of the ambassador so
shrewdly selected by Bismarck, ap
pears a bill in a German Reichstag,
proscribing or depriving of theii rights
of citizenship all the members ot the
Society of Jesus in Germany. The
bill applies to foreign and native-born
Jesuits alike* We do not understand
that they are to be expeiled from the
empire, but that they are liable to ex
pulsion on a simple police order.—
How long they will remain in Ger
many depends on their behavior.—
The ground of this measure is the obe
dience which the Jesuits render to the
Pope, as the sovereign, in preference
to Emperor William. They are re
garded as enemies of the State, ami
dangerous, though it seems incredible
that in so strongly a Protestant coun
try as Germany, governed with such
vigor, any body of men so limited in
number as the Jesuits, could actually
be a menace to the supremacy of the
civil government. The passage of

strictly followed and carried out. Iu a great many
eases a single dose has beeu sudicieut for a cure, and
whole families have been cured by a single bottle,
with a peitect restoration of the gen. ral health. It is,
however, prudent, and in every case more certain to

this medicine will rot require auy aid to keep the bow

The Pope’s New Troubles.—It
seems to be the destiny of tlie Pope,
in his encounters with emperors and
kings to be more and more restricted
to the exercise of his spiritual powers
only. The deprivation of his tempo
ral sovereignty by the absorption ol
States of the church in the kingdom
of Italy left but little more for him to
lose, but that little is gradually van
ishing. It is the evident desigu of
Victor Emanuel to bring the Roman
Catholic Church in all secular res
pects as much under the control of
the State as any other form of religion
would be. The King, claiming that
the existence of convents in Italy in
volves a violation of international law,
an order is issued reaching 6uch al-
eged abuses. Against this the Pope
protest with his usual courage and ve
hemence, declares that reconciliation
between the Holy See and the Italian
government is now impossible, and
gate from the State-at-large.
NEW ENfal.AND.
In many places in New England, says
tlie New York Express, aldersurespring-
ing up in the pastures, young pines ap
pear in the ancient mowing fields, and
feathered birches wave where once the
farmers turned their rich furrows. In
New Hampshire, nearly 9,000 people
left during the lastdecade, and as many
u ore left the agricultural towns for the
cities and villages. Maine barely held
its own during the last decade. There
was a loss in the agricultural towns
and a gain in the manufacturing.
Througiiuot NewEnglund general agri
culture is becoming of less account re
latively each year while special farm
ing and manufacturing is steadily on
the increase. Of the six States east
of the Hudson river, Vermout is the
nearest to raising its own bread—pro
ducing 454,000 bushels of wheat in
1869 or a bushel and a peck to each in
habitant. Taking the army rations
of 22 ounces of flour per day as a basis
for computing tbe consumption of
bread, it follows, Vermont raises bread
enough to supply the people of that
State thirty-seven days. To make up the
deficiency they are obliged to purchase
3,S3G,000 bushels per annum. Maine
produces 278,000 bushels, sufficient to
last 11 days, and purchases 8,500 000
bushels. New Hampshire produces
193,000 bushels—little more than a
half bushel to each inhabitant; and pur
chases 4,260,000 bushels or ail over a
10 days’supply. Connecticut makes a
poorer show producing 38,000 bushels
—a supply of bread for two days—
and purchasing 7,518,000 bushels.

Louisville, Kir., Oct. 8,1869.
Dr. John Bull—-Dear Sir: VIany thanks to yea
for the medicine you have so kindly given me. I have
beeu a great sufferer lor years, au I had the advice of
various piiysiciaus. Some pronounced my spine, some
iny lungs, aud some my heart to be the seat of my dis
ease. I have been burnt, blistered and cupped until
1 bad become disheartened. Several very eminent
physicians who exain.ned my spine informed ine that
I was threatened with paralysis or appoplexy any day,
aud that nothing but a seton would relieve me, 1 had
a perfect horror ot that, aud was hesitating about
havmg oue inserted, when you kindly sent me your
Sarsaparilla which I immediately begun to take three
limes a day. I had suffered terribly with a most
acute pain m the rigtu side of my head, especially
when I would read or write for any length of time, and
on rising to my feel I would be periectly blind tor
several minutes, and would have to hold to something
to prevent falliDg.
I atn most happy to inform you that the paiu iu my
head is entirely relieved ; I suffer but seldom with my
spine and theu not so acutely- My appetite is good ;
iudeed for the first time in iny lite I enjoy my dinner
more thau any meal during tUe day.
Yon kindly sent ine tour bottles again last night,
and I began again this morning, and 1 hope to be en
tirely relieved. Please accept my heartfelt thanks aud
best wishes.
Very truly your most grateful friend,
M. B. C. Rivers.
My journal abounds with similar letters, all of
which 1 guarantee to be genuiue aud wr tlea by tha
persons whose names they bear.
Do not suffer yourself to be imposed on. Don't be
drawn away after new aud dnub ful exp**t ioieuts.
Don’t risk your health by letting novices experiment
upon you with their trash. My 8arsapari.'I« tins stood
tlie test tor tw enty five years . it is still the .Sarsaparilla
ot the day, aud ot the age, towering over all others iu
popularity and its cuiattve qualities. Avoid all those
who are trying to pahn off on yon other extracts of
Sarsaparilla, so-called. Remember .t is Dr- John
Bull’s Sarsaparilla, of Louisville, Ky , that is the old:
and reliable remedy tor impurities of the blood aud
scrofulous affections. Always bear that ip mind.
Another Testimony.
that only a regard for the highest in- i ^Lissuchusetts raised only 34,000 bush-
terests prevents his leaving Rome
This protest is directed to foreign
powers, but it is easy to see that it
will have but little influence upon
them. France is the only European
country that would lift a finger to | ro-
tect the Pope in the matter and she
is powerless to aid him. With Italy,
and probably dictating Italian policy,
is the great German Empire. Against
two such opponents, Pius IX. is strug
gling at iearlul odds, but he does it
gallantly, notwithstanding his advanc
ed age, and in a temporal sense the
crippled condition of his power. No
potentate on earth could have rejec
ted with more dignity the ambassador
sent to Rome by the German Empe
ror, because ot his unacceptable char
acter. He was the Cardinal Prince
Hohenlohe, a personage high in the re
gards ot imperial court and exalted in
the church. To refute to receive him
els or just bread enough for breakfast
and dinner, but not for support! The
purchase was 20,300,000 bushels of
wheat. Rhode Island raised 784 bush
els of wheat in 1869, and purchased
3.000,000. The New England States
together purchase from lorty to fifty
million bushels of wheat, and quite
as much of other grains, or in rounJ
numbers J00,000,0U0 bushels of grain.
Col. Shaller has published a valua
ble and interesting pamphlet on the
subject of Foreign Emigration, and
shows up the dirty tricks resorted to
by Northern men to prevent Imigra-
tion to the South. He contends that
our success will depend upon the es
tablishment of Slate agencies in Eu

P. S.—Tbe following was written April 30th, 1866,
by Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capt. Johnson:
Dr John Bull—Dear Sir : My husband, Dr. C. S.
Johnson, was* skillful surgeon and physician in Cen
tral New York, where lie died, leaving the aoove U.
P. Johnson to iny care. At thiiteen years of age he
had a chronic diarrhea and scrofula, for which I gave
your Sarsaparilla. It cured him. I have for ten
years recommended it to inauy in New York, Ohio
and Iowa, for scrofula, fever soies, and general debili
ty. Perfect success has attended it. 'Ihe cure* ef
fected in tome rases of scrofula and feter sores were
almost miraculous. I am very anxious for my son
to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla. He is
fearful of getting a spurious article, lieuee his writing
to you for it. His wounds were terrible, but I believe
he will recover.
Respectfully,
