mb. ADAMS AT CHARLESTON.
v riV e up our supplement this morn
-1,, the account of the reception aocord
tfe„tlemau at Charleston, and of
f 'neecb i" response thereto.
"| common with our cotemporaries of
,"south, generally, we reoongnize in
tl ' C serious, earnest counsel of Mr. Adams
ll,e ( ' t rioU tUern people the utterances of a
10 1 and sound heart, inspired only
The warmest sympathy for our misfor
‘ an j the kindliest wishes to see
lu "T' ’remedied. To mucli that he says
.mid not listen with patience did we
, know his motive. From a man who
" j bee u hounding on, instead of endeav
to restrain the Radical party in its
. kt „l crusavie, we would not listen to
*j vice so apparently patronizing in its
a!) d delivered more as if it were a
|. -ture to truant schoolboys, than an ap-
to tlie hearts and understanding of
[Teiuen—Mr. Adams’ or anybody else’s
-is in every respect. But any cavil
these objectionable features, or any
attempt to answer some of the prop
ositioiis laid down, would be use
k. Jg at this time. The manliness, candor,
uul kind spirit which inspires this, aud
‘ ot l, er efforts, forbid criticism of every
character.
Only upon a question purely specula
tive and belonging to the future, do we
venture to differ from the conclusions
reached, and announced by Mr. Adams.
We refer to his estimate of General Grant’s
disposition towards, and of his probable
treatment of, our people. We cannot
bring ourself to put faith in the fulfill
mcnl ot iheao e,m«ulutoty predictions
We can hope for nothing from a man who
k , w B hown such unseemly subservience to
the behests and plots of the very worst
,„eii in the party whose standard he
curies. We cannot believe that he will
have, in the event of his election, either
strength or inclination to reject their
counsels, or throw offtheir yoke. He will
„we his position to them, aud fear, if not
gratitude, will compel his obedience.
General Grant’s public acts are as well
kn own to us as to Mr. Adams, and we feel
entirely capable of judging him by them.
As to the willingness of so large a por
tion of the people of the North to stretch
out their arms and lift us from the dust,
we are still more skeptical. They do not
indicate such a disposition, either in their
choice of leaders, or their action with
ref ivnee to measures of public policy so
nearly affecting us as a people, and upon
which they huve repeatedly delivered their
verdict, l’he men who send Sumner,
Butler, Logan, and Schenck tospe.k for
them in Congress, and who give their
cordial sanction to such liberty, and prop
erty, and safety-crushing schemes as
so called “reconstruction,” can surely
have neither pity nor remorse in their,
hcurtH. They might deign to listen to us
as slaves, crawling upon our hands and
knees to sue for pardon, and swear eternal
obedience to their wishes, but not as free
men ami equals, askiug only justice.
Such is our estimate of General Grant
and of the class to whom Mr. Adams al
ludes, and facts of record, known and
read of all men, vindicate its correctness.
In this light, then, and upon this point,
we are constrained not only to dissent
from Mr. Adams’ conclusions, but to pro.
nouuoe their utterance impolitic, and cal
culated to seriously weaken aud demoral
ize those who are, with him, laboring to
secure success for the party of the Consti
tution ay-ff a true Union. Coming upon
the heel of the reverses in Ohio, Pennsyl
vania and Indiana, they cannot fail to
still further break the line, and dishearten
the patriot masses of the South. If Gen.
Grant is what Mr. Adams says lie is, they
will argue, why, in the face of these re
verses, shall wo put ourselves to any
trouble to.seeure a verdict against him .
Why carry Georgia or any other State for
Democratic candidates and principles ?
With these comments, we beg to com
mend the speech to our readers.
♦ ♦
MUHK VMM! M UON I O UK ISEO AGAINST US.
Home of our people seem determined
that the stock in trade of the Radicals
shall not he diminished, if their actions
can keep it full. The killing of the negro
incendiary, Randolph, at Cokesbury,
South Carolina, reported by telegraph
yesterday morning, is a notable instance
of this pig-headed stupidity. It is not de
nied of course that this man, by his per
sistent efforts to light the torches and whet
the knives of the black population of
South Carolina, has not richly merited
death. Hut the manner of his taking off
cannot fail to react upon the white people
of that State and of the South. It will be
heralded ail over the North as fresh warrant
for carrying, to its severest conclusion,
the crusade against the rights and people
of this section. It will intensify the rage,
and hate, aud passion that now fires the
heart of the North, and drives off from
the support of the party of the Constitu
tion and its leaders, many who might
otherwise give them their aid.
We regret, exceedingly, that such oc
currences should go upon the record just
at this time. They are full of mischief of
tlie gravest character. If only the guilty
were made to bear the penalty, it would be
comparatively a trivial affair. Unfortu
nately, however, in the present condition
of affairs an entire people are held respon
sible as accessories after the fact.
We hope the people of Georgia will uot
make it necessary that such records shall
be made up against them. Let them pos
sess their souls with patience, aud resolve
that no provocation shall make them add
* ieh fuel to the fire. We can bide our time,
and right all these wrongs in due season.
I'ill then, patience, moderation, Peace
should he our mottoes, and rule of action.

FUNERAL OBSEQUIES OF GENERAL COBB IN
ATHENS.
We learn that the funeral of Gen. Cobb
in Athens, on Thursday last, was the lar
gest and most imposing ceremony of the
kind ever witnessed in that place.
The special train from Savnanah which
conveyed his remains, readied Athens
early Thursday morning, in charge of an
escort, composed of delegations from Sa
vannah, Macon, Atlanta aud Augusta and
a large number of special friends of the
deceased, who joined them at the differ
ent points on the road.
All the business houses, offices, and
stores in Athens were closed during the
day, and the country people for miles
around the town, came in to pay this last
tribute to their departed friend.
The procession to the cemetery was
composed of the escort before alluded to,
the members of the Masonic Lodge, the
Odd Fellows’ Lodge, the two Societies of
the State University, the members of the
Bar, the President and Professors of the
University, the Clergy, and citizens gener
ally of Athens and the adjoining counties.
Religious exercises were conducted by
tlie Rev Mr. Flinn, for a long time chap
lain of Gen. Cobh’s command in Virginia,
the Rev. Mr. Warren, the pastor of the
First Baptist Church in Macon, and the
Rev. Mr. Key, of tlie Methodist Church.
The sermon of Mr. Flinn was an eloquent
and feeling tribute to the virtues and ex
wiivituu.’ ..i corn, v wvu a tnaimner, aim us
kind and touohingsentimentsmetahearty
response from the grief-stricken commu
nity which crowded around the bier of
their esteemed and venerated friend. Al
though Gen. Cobb had not made an out
ward profession of religion, it is known
that for months past he lias been anxious
ly seeking that consolation which alone is
found in the service of the Lord and the
practice of His precepts. While at the
North lie had announced to the members
of his family, who were then with him,
his determination, as soon as he returned
home, to put on the habiliments of Christ
by uniting himself to the Baptist Church,
of which his wife was a member.
Few men have ever lived in Athens who
so endeared themselves to the whole peo
ple as Gen. Cobb. And the deep and per
vading grief of the entire population of
the city showed how much and how well
they loved him. Each person, male and
female, in that long procession wept over
his bier as though it contained the remains
of a dear relative. Even the innocent
prattle of the little children was hushed in
the presence of that grief stricken com
munity aud tlie streets and thoroughfares
of the eity were as st'll and silent as the
grave.— Chron. & Sent., \lth

Ilaily Review of tlie Macon Market.
Monday Evening, Oct. 19, 1868.
Owing to the depressed condition of the cotton
market, trade, during the week ending to-day, has
not been as good as it was the preceding one. The
demand for Bacon has been quite regular; sales
amounting to about three hundred thousand
pounds. It seems the price of our great staple will
settle about 33 cents. Planters and speculators
had better abandon the idea that it will vary a great
deal from that figure. There will be no extraordi
nary change one way or the other.
Liverpool has as yet sent no orders here or to
Savannah, and incessantly express the opinion it
will go lower. Upon this point there is a marked
difference of opinion. The crop is coming in very
fast. Many planters are already done picking, and
a few have already sent all they had to market. It
matured very early, in consequence of the caterpil
lar stripping the stalks of all their green leaves.
Our Dry Goods men report heavy sales, and that
they are doing a very satisfactory business. Prices
both here and at New York, are remarkably steady.

OBITUARY.
Mrs. CAROLINE WATERMAN, w'fe of Joseph
Waterman, and daughter of Thomas aud Ann
Morris, was born in Jones County, Georgia, Au
gust 6th. 1826, and died in Talbotton, Georgia, Oc
tober 12th, 1868.
Nearly two > tars ago she had an attack of apo
plexy, from which site never entirely recovered ;
was attacked suddenly on the morning of her
deatli with the same disiase, and died about one
o’clock.
Mrs. Waterman was lor years a resident of
Macon, and endeared herself to many friends by
the exercise of all those noble traits wbicli dis
tinguish the true woman. .She was a ('evoted
friend, a fond wife and doling mother. Her sad
and early death will be deeply felt by a bereaved
husband and children, and many friends.
Departed tiiis life, at Knoxville, Tenn., on the
evening of the eighth of September, 1868, after
a short illness, GEORGE W. TOWNS, youngest
son of Mrs. Mary W. and the la'e Ex-Governor
Towns, of Georgia, in the eighteenth year of his
age.
Thus has the King of Terrors stricken from the
troublous scenes of this sublunary sphere to
realms of immortal futurity one of the noblest
specimens of God’s creation. A youth upon
whose forehead Time had never imprinted a fur
row, yet upon whose heart and mind Nature had
lavished unsparingly her choicest gifts, aud
promised a career of unto'd usefulness. It would
seem, indeed, a strange dispensation to those
i-r,oni hi.n noct. wore. it not rebellious to
question an “ordinance of Divinitythat one so
young, so noble, so generous, so true, should thus
be snatched to His bosom by the Great Architect
of all nature. But who, oh, Deatli! can tell us
when to expect thy coming ?
“Youth and Ihe opening rose would seem too
beaut ifal to decay;
But Thou art not of those that wait the ripened
fruit to seize Thy prey ”
The shadow of gloom has been cast! Warm
hearts are drapied with mourning, and crushed
with grief; for there never breathed a youth more
tenderly loved, and whose untimely death was
more deeply eeplored. The subject of ihis notice
was well-known to the writer, by an intimate as
sociation and companionship for many months
helore his demise, and in this tribute to his mem
ory no undue encomium, but a true •, ortraiture
of his character shall be written. His disposition
was warm, genial, aud nilccliouate; he was
brave, yet forbearing and charitable; his bearing
was manly and noble ; his mind was active, and
possessed a solidity remarkable for onesoyoung;
he was perfectly temperate aid moral in all ol
his habits, strictly honest and upright in all of
his dealings, aud by his industry, uniform po
liteness, and business capacity won I lie esteem oi
those if far maturer years. In truth, it might l>e
said he possessed all the attributes of the true
gentleman.
“ None knew him bat to love him,
None named him bat to praise."
While others shed tears of sorrowing sympathy
and deplore his loss, alas ! none so bitterly weeps
over this mournful dispensa ion as the doting
mother, fond and devoted sisters, and attached
brother; and while the shades of evening are
mantling the sacred recesses of Rose Hill Ceme
tery, the “last winding sheet" of the lamented
George is mantling their grief-stricken hearts in
his loue, silent grave. Weep not, fond mother
and loving siaters Your earthly loss is his eter
nal gain.
“ In God's own morn this star will rise,
A shining light in Paradise."
Place your trust in Him “who tern piers the wind
to the shorn lamb," that He may heal your
bleeding hearts with the consolation of His
grace, and sanctify this affliction to your spirit
ual advancement.
Reynolds, October I3th. Is6B, A Friend.
MARRIED,
In Eufaula, Ala.,at the residence of Mrs. J. T.
Malone, oy the Rev. Mr. Wharton, WILLIS S.
COX to Miss HATTIE WINGATE.
Much joy to the wedded pair, and may they
live long to give to each other a portion of that
happiness so hounleoasly l» stow ed heretofore
on their numerous friends and admirers.
THE CONDITION OF THOUSANDS.
No appe ite; no refreshing sleep ;no cheerful
thoughts; no disposition to labor; no inclination
for society; no interest iu anything ; no desire to
live, even; and yet no specific ailment which can
be classed as a positive disease. Thousands, aye,
tens of thousands, are in this condition—the
martyrs of disabilities to which pathology as
signs no technical name.
What is the source of their discomfit, mental
aud bodily? Tokpor of tiie Stomach; and
consequent upon that, languor of the circulation,
weakness of the nerves, and a clouded brain. What,
does common sense s -ggest as a remedy for this
deficiency in vital power? Clearly, a re-vital
izing Medicine— something that will stumlate,
tone, aud sustain the broken down energies of
nature. HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS
meet tke case exactly. In this heneficart Tonic
are combined all the ingredients necessary to
change tliecondiiiou of the sj stem and bring the
dormant organs into healthful action. In the
fall of the year, when the night dews are chill
aud heavy, and the moiniug fogs are charged
with miasma, the body, debilitated by the heats
of summi r, is peculiarly susceptible to tin whole,
some influences. At tills season, of all others,
therefore, iuvigoration is required, both as a
safeguard against fever and ague, aud other ma
larious disorders, aud as a preparation lor the
searching cold of winter. Dyspepsia, bilious
complaints, nervous disorders, aud distressing
affections of the bowels, are always more or less
prevalent in October and November, and the
surest and safest means of adverting them Is a
course of this pnrest, mildest, and most etilca
cious of all tonics and alteratives.
A busy man is a locomotive, and life a track.
Every night he drives into “the house,” and stops.
Every morning he is tired up anew, anil away he
goes, switching oH in one direction and then in
another. In this routine of business lie forgets
that tlie physical organization is of the most deli
cate kind. If a hard iron locomotive needs con
stant care, and to be well oiled up and rubbed off
every day, how much more necessary is it that all
men and women should use Plantation Bitters,
which are the ne plus ultra of everything which is
necessary to keep the system in a perfect tone of
health.

lives and property of citizens have been destroyed, the

peace of the' community, are preserved; and that all

•‘Whereas, This duty has beeome the more impera

“The troops will be consideied as in the held, and

to tin furnished with common tents, it practicable, and
if not practicable, with shelter tents. Commanding
ottic-rs are permitted to hire quaiters, temporarily,
when it can DO done for reasonable tales ; but this will
not precluo the necessity of carrying tents, as the
commands, in all cases, must be in readiness to move
at the shortest notice, with a I supplies required for
their t ffieiency.
“District Commanders w ill instruct Post Command
ers in their duties, and the relative position of civil
and military powers. They will impress on Post Com
manders Unit they are to act in aid and co-operation,
and in subordination to the civil authorities; that they
are to exercise discretion and judgment, unbiased
by politica or other prejudices; that their object
should be exclusively to preserve the peace and up
hold law and order, and they must be satisfied such is
the object of the civil officer calling on them for aid ;
that they must in all cases, where time will permit, ap
p'y f r' instruction to superior authority, but they
must, at all hazards, preseve tile peace, and not he
r strained by technical points, when, in th* ir consci
entious judgment n ider the rules above set forth, it is
I heir duly to act Post Commanders, on being notified
. r u.« bolding of political meetings, may
send an officer, and, if nt cessary. a detachment, to
watch the proceedings aud see that tlie peace is

‘To the people of the several States composing the
Department the Maj .r Gent ral Commanding appeals
that they w ill co-operate with him ami tl e civil author
ities in sustaining law aid order, in preserving the
peace, and in avoiding those se nes of riot ami blood
shed, and the wanton destmc'ioa of property and
lile, which has already, in some instances, been en
acted in this Department. He urges abstinence .rom
all inflammatory and incendiary appeals to the pa*,
sions; discountenancing tiie keeping open of liquor
shops on days t f political meetings at and of election
the abstaining from carrying arms and asserting the;
individual right of construing laws by force of arms.
No just cause is advanced by resort to violence. Let
there lie charity and forbearance among political op
ponents. whatever may be the resuli. let each good
citizen determine that all who, under the law, have a
right to the ballot shad exercite it undisturbed. If
there are disputed points of law , let them he referred
to the Courts, and let not mobs or political clubs, or
other irresponsible bodies, construe and undertake to
execute the law This appeal is made in the earnest
hope that the Major General Commanding can rely on
the good sense and correct judgment of the mass of
the people, and that he will not he compelled to resort
ti the exercise of tne pow-.-r with which he is en
trusted, and which i c will most reluctantly employ.
But he thinks it his duty to make k own that, so far as
the pow-rund-r his command wdl admit, he w ill not
permit the peace to be broken, arid that he w ill not be
restrained in the conscientious discharge of Ins duty
by technicalities of laws made when the present anom
