Proprietors GEO. T. JACKSON, ) Address all Letters to I H. C. STEVENSON, Manager. | We congratulate Mr. Salem Dutches, of this city, upon his admission to practice before the Supreme Court of the United # Oub Atlanta correspondent says a run was made upon the City Bank of Macon, of which C. A. Nutiing is President. The bank was standing the pressure at last ac counts. : 1 ‘ | C_2 The jolly joker of the Chronicle and Senti nei says our caper on Tuesday was dated Noi'ember 2d. Well, if Tuesday last was not November 2d, what was it? The earth quake seems to have caused the miscar- | 1 iage of a joke. If there should be an occupation of by the British, as the Pall Mall (razelte intimates, in order to secure India fijm Bussian aggression, times will grow lively indeed. But what is to become of Ismail Pacha, in such an event, and what or his ex-Confederatea ? Our ministers have an excellent theme, in the earthquake, for their Sunday dis courses. One eminent prelate in this country thinks we are nearing the last days of the world. If Moody and Sankey could have such an accompaniment to their revival, how powerfully they would use it ! The New York Times is alarmed at the recent successes of Its party. It thinks Grant wiil take it all as meaning a third term for him. It declares in advance it will not support him. This is a frank ad mission that Grant is squarely before the party for nomination. He undoubtedly takes it all as meaning that he is wanted for President four more years. But never wore a people more sick and tired of a man, and never was a man so important to a party. We noted the presence in our city yester day of General E P. Alexander, President if the Central Railway of Alabama, and ids Assistant Auditor, H. W. Crittenden, Esq. Also Judge S. B. Hoyt, President of the Atlanta Savings Bank of Georgia, and Col. W. W. Clarke, one of its prominent Directors and Stockholders. These gentle men were at the head office of the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company during much of their temporary sojourn in our town. Mb. H. C. Stevenson, our Business Man ager, was at tlie office last e vening for the first time in ten days. He has been ex tremely ill, and Is still very far from per fect recovery. We trust, however, that his recuperation from this time forth will be rapid and decisive. On Friday of week be fore last he met with a paint ul accident, having severely injured one of his feet. Very soon thereafter he was seized with a species of pleuro-pneumonia, from which he is slowly rallying. It will be a glorious sight on the day the Democratic delegation of Mississippi walks up the floor of the House of Repre sentatives to be sworn in. That State has been represented, in great part, for ten years by a lousy lot of negroes and carpet baggers, heartily despised by every decent man in Congress. Ignorant, knavish, they neither had sense nor principle. They were simply a disgrace to civilization. L. Q. C. Lamar, Otho R. Singleton and C. E. Hooker, are gentlemen of special talent and will be true representatives of the gal lant State, An Atlanta merchant sends the subjoined letter to a great Northern journal: Atlanta, Ga., October 26, 1875. To the Editor of the New York Daily Bulletin: It may not be amiss to say that Georgia votes almost solid fora national greenback currency. We know that specie payments cannot be resumed, and we do not think it wise to attempt resumption. We love - reenbacks, and we Insist, if the Govern ment will receive them for all dues, that the wild speculation in gold will be at an end, and greenbacks will appreciate, and soon the hoarded millions of gold will find their way into the marts of trade,and every industry, from Maine to California, wiil be stimulated, and as a people we will go on prospering and to prosper. The contest of the will of Miss Mary Telfair has commenced in earnest. The .savannah News says: “A petition was filed by Aug. P. Wetter to be appointed guar dian ad libitum for his children, Edward Josiah Thomas Alexander Tklfaib Wet ter, Mary Martha Margaret Telfair Wetter and Louisa Alberta Nina Tel fair Wetter. The Ordinary, after consid ering this petition, granted the order pray ed for, and Capt. Wetter was duly ap pointed guardian ad libitum. As guardian, Capt. Wetter thereupon, in behalf of his children as heirs-at-law, filed a caveat of the will. The contest bids fair to be a neavy one, and will, of course, only be final ly settled in the Supreme Court. Messrs. Jackson, Lawton & Basinger, and Hart ridge ifc Chisholm, are attorneys for the will; Hon. T. M. Norwood, Hen. Rufus E Lester, Hon. W. W. Montgomery, and N. C. Collier, Esq., tor the oaveators. Among the recent deaths in South Caro lina, we are pained to hear of that of Col. A. H. Waring. He was the scion of an e ninont family, whlcii, before the war, lliu-tratcd the wealth, talents and high toned civilization of the sea-island coast of tho Palmetto State. In early manhood, Col. Waring was an officer In the United States navy. During the war, he was a gallant soldier. To retrieve his shattered fortunes, after the collapse of 1865, he en gaged in planting and insurance. Ordi narily, Col. Waring resided at Florence, where he passed away. He was" a loving father and husband, a staunch friend and a most agroeable companion. The writer will always hold his memory in the sanc tuary of his heart, and all. who knew “Archie” Waring will feel sincere regret to learn that his days are ended, and breathe a fervent prayer for the welfare of his SOUI. FROM NEW YORK. Arrival of Doctors. New York, November 3.—-Dr. E. C. Harwood, of New York and Dr. J. A. Adrain, of Logansport Indiana, con stituting the delegation from tlie United {States National Medical Association to the lat.e International Medical Congress held In Brussels Belgium were among the passengers who arrived from Europe to-day by the steamer Scythia. The American delegates were made honorary presidents of the Congress. New York, October 3.—A motion has been granted in the Supremo Court to strike Tweed’s $6,000,000 suit from the calendar from this term, on the ground that an ajtnended answer had been served within twenty days after the case was noticed for trial.

Further Returns from the Seat of War—New York: in Doubt—The Dem ocrats .Probably Elect Bigelow, but Lose the Legislature—Comments of the Press—Tilden a Dead Duck. NEW YORK. New York, November 3.—Kings coun ty, five districts heard from, give Bige low 6,922, aud Schroedor (Rep.), for Mayor of Brooklyn, 1,000 majority. The World says: “The State is very close. We claim it by about 5,000. The Legislature will be close. We claim the Assembly. The Senate must be de termined by fuller returns.” The Times fixes Morrissey’s majority at 3,500. The Herald says: “The Demo crats win by a majority of from 6,000 to 7,000.” The Tribune says: “New York has gone Democratic by about 10,000.” The Sun gives the State to the Repub licans. The Times gives a congratulatory article, but is silent on the result in the State. The Times, editorially, con gratulates the Republicans on the re sult and says : “Tilden, as a Presiden tial candidate, has destroyed himself, and it is now beyond doubt that both ‘Republicans and Democrats will have to place new candidates before the people next year if they wish to suc ceed. Gen. Grant has long been out of the question as a Presidential candi date, and now Gov, Tilden may safely make up his mind to close his public life with his present term of office. No one need fear that the Republican suc cesses will revive the “third term” project. That is as dead as Julius Caesar. We never should have sup ported such a scheme under any cir cumstances, and nothing whatever would lead us to do so now.” New York, November 3. —Otsego county, 300 Democratic majority; Buf falo, 2,826 Republican majority. Albany, November 3.—Up to noon, to-day, the returns iudicate the elec tion of 20 Republicans, and 12 Demo crats to the State Senate. The Republi cans claim the election of Senators in the Ist, sth, 9th, 11th, 12tb, 13th, 15th, 16fh, 17th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 22d, 24th 25th, 26th, 28th, 29th, 30th, aud 32d Districts. The Democrats claim the election of 70 members to the Assem bly, to 58 Republicans. Albany county complete—Bigelow, 583 majority. One Republican Senator is elected, also two Republican aud two Democratic Assem blymen. Cortland county, complete, 385 Republican majority. In Chemung county the Republican majority is 50. Jeffereon county, 600 Republican ma jority ; TompHus county, 50 Demo cratic majority ; Alleghany county, 2,300 Republican majority; Clinton county, 400 Republican majority ; Co lumbia county, 324 Democratic ma jority. New York, November 3.— Latest re turns at hand leave the State in doubt with the chances rather in favor of Bigelow. The majority is unlikely to exceed 5,000 either way. Counties esti mated this a. m. show where the Dem ocrats, later returns increase the fig ures and where the Republicans corre spondingly decrease. The Albany j Evening Journal concedes the State to Bigelow by about 1,000; while tho Commercial Advertiser still has hopes for Seward by 2,000 or 3,000 majority. The Republicans certainly have a fair working majority in both Houses of the Legislature. The Senate will stand about 21 Republicaus to 11 Democrats; the Assembly, 73 Republicans to 55 Democrats. New York Still Doubtful. New 7 York, October 3.— Oswego coun ty, 300 Republican majority; Duchess county, 446 Republican majority; Ulster county, 2,500 Democratic majority; Greene county, 800 Democratic ma jority. Albany, November 3.—The Evening Journal says: The result on tlie State ticket is close and still a matter of doubt. Our table shows a small ap parent Democratic majority. MARYLAND. Farther Returns From Maryland. Baltimore, November 3. —Returns from counties to-night are still incom plete, but suffi iently full to decide the result on the State ticket and the com plexion of the Legislature. Of the 23 counties in the State, Mrj Carroll has carried 10, viz: Anne, Arundel, Gar ret, Harford, Howard, Kent, Mont gomery, Prince Georges, Queen Anne’s, Wicomico and Worcester, by reported aggregate majority of 3,T00, and Mr. Harris ten, viz : Alleghany, Baltimore, Caroline, Carroll, Cecil, Charles, Dor chester, Frederick, Talbot aud Wash ington, by reported aud estimated ma jorities aggregating 3,400, the leaving three counties of Calvert, Somer set and St. Mary’s to be heard from, which cannot effect the general result, but will decided it out side the city of Baltimore. St. Mary’s will probably go for Carroll, and Cal vert and Somerset for Harris. The majorities will be very small either way. The majority for Harris is based on an estimate of 600 in Alleghany and 1,200 in Baltimore county. The latter county has heretofore given from 1,000 to 1,500 Democratic majority, but has been completely -revolutionized at the recent primaries for tho nomination of county officers. The Democrats adopted the Crawford county (Pa) system of nominating, dispensing with a County Convention. In seve ral counties carried by Mr. Harris, by small majorities, the Democratic legislative and county ticket is elected. The Senate consists of 26 members, of which ten Democrats and two Republi cans hold over. Of the 14 to be re turned the Democrats have elected nine and the Republicans three, viz: re electing Dr. Lewis H. Steiner In Freder ick, and gaining one in Baltimore and Washington county each, and leaving Somerset and Calvert to be heard from. Of the 84 members of the House tho Democrats have elected 56 aud the Re publicans 23, the remaining five being from Somerset and Calvert, not heard from. Maryland, November 3.—Worcester county, 350 Democratic majority; Car roll county, Republican majority, 160; Queen Anne county, 150 Democratic majority. NEW JERSEY. Trenton, N. J., November 3.—Com plete returns show 39 Republicans and 23 Democrats elected to the Assembly; majority on joint ballot, 17, being a Re publican gain of 34. MICHIGAN. Benzine Triumphant. Detroit, November 3.—Lewis, Demo crat, for Mayor, 1,678 majority. The Council is nearly a tie on the Sunday liquor que*tion. -A.XTGTTSTA. GA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1875. VIRGINIA, Charges of Fraud in Richmond- Further Returns. Richmond, November 2.—James Mc- Dougal, the Registrar, aud John Marx hausen, the Judge at the first precinct of Jefferson Ward, were arrested to-day on the charge of fraud in returning the vote of their precinct, whereby it is claimed that Knight, the Independent candidate for the Senate, was beaten by Gen. Bradley T. Johnson, the Con servative nominee. Jas. S. Morrison was also arrested on a criminal charge for misleading voters. They were bailed in 5,000 each, until to-morrow. If fraud at this precinct is established and the vote thrown out, Johnson will lose his election. Full county returns are still light, but enough has been received to show that the complexion of the Legislature will not be literally changed. Inde pendent candidates were voted for in a number of counties but only in few in stances with a successful result Caro line county elects Swann Conservative, and S. J. White independent for the House. Culpepper county elects Halle indedependent over Strother Conserva tive. Henrico county elects Talley Re publican over Bryan Conservatives, a Republican gain; a Conservative in the same county has but one majority. This is unofficial. In Augusta county Hon. A. H. Stewart was run for the House as an independent against his wishes and is probably elected. The official count is needed to decide. It is said he will not serve if elected. The foregoing changes, so far as the politi cal status of candidates is concerned, are all that are reported as yet. PENNSYLVANIA, Further Returns from Pennsylvania. Philadelphia, November 3. — Monroe county, Democratic gain of 341; War ren county, Democratic gain of 41 ; Newton county, Demoeratie majority of 321; Columbia county, 2,150 Demo cratic majority; Armstrong, 600 Re publican majority; Pike, 620 Demo cratic majority ; Cambria, 992 Demo cratic majority; Bucks county, 316 Democratic majority. Philadelphia, November 3.—Mont gomery county—Hartranft 35 ma jority. Erie, Penn., November 3.—Erie com plete; Republican gain, 1,470. WISCONSIN. The Republicans Successful. Milwaukee, Wis., November 3.—Re turns received to-day make it certain that the Republicans elect the State ticket by a majority ranging from 2,000 to 5,000, The Republicaus carry the Legislature by 30 majority on joint ballot. FROM WASHINGTON. The Freedman's Dividend—Rapid Transit —Enter Chandler- Washington, November 3. — The Com missioners of the Freedman’s Bank say they will continue to pay 20 per cent, dividend until every depositor has re ceived a proper portion, but cannot possibly adjust more than 500 ac counts per day, of which there are 60,000.

Scranton, November 3. —The First National Bank at Pittston was broken into last night by burglars, who effect eu an entrance to the vault, where they blew open two spherical safes and ab stracted $40,000 In bonds and money. They entered and departed through the roof. The bank was a one-story brick structure, and had a flat tin roof. The thieves cut a hole about eighteen inches square, aud from this three of the gang descended by a rope ladder into the valt, leaving two confederates on the outside to watch and assist them in escaping. The vault was guarded by a strong door sup plied with a burglar alarm, but the thieves entered through the top of the vault. The thieves were surprised by the neighbors just as they were escap ing at morning. An alarm was raised, but the burglars succeeded in escaping, leaving behind them a complete set of burglar’s tools. New Orleans, November 3.—The Governor has signed the death war rants of six criminals convicted of mur der, two lu Coushatta, w 7 ho will be exe cuted November 19th; two in Monroe and two in New Orleans to be executed November 26th.

The Earthquake—Shaking Up the City—The Twelfth Night Revelers— Acquittal of Hughes and Hollifleld —Run on the City Bank of Macon —The Brotherhood of Conductors. [From our Regular Correspondent.] Atlanta, November 2. We’ve had an earthquake—a regu lar, robust, rollicking earthquake—und the topmost pinnacle of our vaulting ambition has been reached. No pent up Utica contracts our powers now, no South American disasters can crow over us now, for we are even with the world. The brightest diadem iu At lanta’s progressive crown glitteringly took its place last night, and fabled Juno ne’er strode with more pompous pride or queen-like majesty than strutted the enterprising little city to day. We are proud, smiling aud happy. We have coveted the terrible rumbles that recently growled in far-off Cali fornia, and have envied Missouri of her famous earth-grumbling of 1811; but we covet no more. The mantle of earthquake glory has fallen on our Atalantian shoulders and we bear the honor with becoming grace. This greatest leaf in the enterprising laureled chaplet on fair Atlanta’s clas sic brow, came last night about teu o’clock, when our youugsters had scampered off to bed and the stillness of night was just setting in. For a few seconds only—hardly a minute—the entire city rocked to and fro with an easy yet powerful sway. In some lo calities the shock was great enough to jar windows, while in others It was scarcely perceptible. At the building called Good Templars’ Hall, In which a lodge was in meeting, the shock was great, and created considerable alarm. In another large building, where sev eral persons were at work, the jar was sufficient to put out the gaslights. A gentleman who felt It very sensibly told me that the sensation was as if some leviathan ground-mole was plow ing through the earth beneath his feet. No noise, save that of rattling of win dows, accompanied the quake. It was simply a quiet, uu-Shermanlike march to the sea—an Okeefeenoltee explora tion underground of an embowelled rumble. No damage was done, and as the country is safe yet, thanks are due. Many people will stay up to-night with smoked glasses—some smoking hot—telescopes, &c., watching for it. Noise positively prohibited. Fractious engines and loathsome bells will re main quiet, in order that the slightest sound may readily fall upon the quick ened tympanums of anxious ears. The Twelfth Night Revelers. Preparations have been Inaugurated for holding another grand carnival on Oltl Christmas Day. The engraving will be done in the highest style, and the proclamations will be equal in colors aud effect to a red-hot circus bill. It has been a puzzle to me why Augusta, Savannah, Macon and Colum bus failed, each year, to get up this grand, nonsensical yet enjoyable car nival. Here we have a small number of Intelligent young men who meet in secret, work in secret, and guard their secrets well. They elect some good maa as Rex for each year, and he is known only to this famous and secret few until the affair is over. Each member Is assessed a certain amount, and the revenue is in creased by the sale of privileges, such as grocer to the king, butcher to the king, &c. A grand ball iu grand cos tume is given in which it is quite an honor to engage. The young men thus enjoy themselves quite regally at a small cost. The feature of the thing is tae procession which is engaged in by every business firm in the city.— Adrertising In this way generally tells. The representations of some depart ments of business are gorgeous and not lost on the vast crowd that is al ways on hand. The coming carnival promises to be the most magnificent of previous ef forts, as a subject will be chosen to be represented. The subject is announced, aurl those who participate will repre sent portions of it as their varied fan cies may suggest. Acquitted. As foreshadowed in previous letters, Huges and Hollifleld were found “not guity” of the murder of John Wilmoth. The jury was out a long time, but say their delay in making a verdict was because they needed information bear ing on fhe case. The two men may congratulate each other. The Troubadours. Some people imagine that if John T. Ford is connected with the manage ment, of a show, that show Is good. This is a mistake. Ford would as soon send a poor troupe as a good one if It woild make him money. The Salis buiy Troubadours performed here last night and to-night to poor houses. Th-3y are under Ford’s management and are decidedly on the average. They are mere clever performers, but nothing more. Ford thinks we of the Soith "cannot distinguish the good from the bad, and sends along any thing, trusting to his high reputation as & manager for drawing crowds. He must send along something better than the so-called Troubadours. The Macon Failures. The city was somewhat startled on Monday at the reported failures of several leading business houses of Ma cn. Rumor made it out that old Ma con had gone by the board, and her people in bankruptcy. Further advices remove the rumor, and explain that the report grew out of the fact that reports got afloat damaging the City Bank, causing a run. This run, how ever, was promptly met, and the bank is ible to meet all claims. The rumors concerning the bank were unfounded. The Conductors. The Brotherhood of Conductors of the United States are in session here. Nearly every part of the Union is rep resented. This is their annual meet ing, and they will no doubt exchange opnions on the best ways of “knocking dovn.” This class of men—usually the best humored and accommodating men—are the most unfortunate you can strike. Whether they steal or not, they are eternally accused of it, and thay deserve our sympathy. Honesty goes as long a way with them as with us but you never hear one spoken of as a man who wouldn’t “knock down.” The Brotherhood are being enter tained In good style here. A banquet and ball will be given them at the Kim ball House Friday night, and Joe BraWn has offered them a train of cars free for an excursion to Florida. They will probably leave on this trip Sunday night.

[Correspondence of the Constitutionalist.] Charleston, S. C., November 2, 1875. Some of the far-seeing business men of our city, having concluded that Charleston would be benefited by the appearance of two daily morning pa peis, have gone to work with com mendable vigor to effect the perma nent establishment of another journal. Rumor states that $25,000 have already been subscribed by gentlemen, whose names are a guarantee for any amount that they pledge themselves for; and that as soon as the sum ($50,000) de sired by the projectors of the scheme is realized, that we will have two daily papers established upon a firm basis. Whether the additional amount will be contributed it remains for the future to develop—present indications point to the successful termination of the project. The stockholders are already speaking of the forthcoming editor, and iu this connection I may mention that the name of a gentleman of your city is brought prominently forward. Judge Reed. Judge Reed, than whom no fairer, more independent, or impartial judge sits upon any bench, opened the Court of General Sessions on Monday last. Mr. Reed, one year ago, was compara tiuely unknown in Charleston. To-day, I be commands and obtains the respect and veneration of the bar of our city, as well also of our entire community— if I except thelaw-breakeis over whose heads he has held the sword of Damo cles. The Circus and Theatre. During the past and present [weeks we have been entertained in every pos sible way. First there was a concert introduced for the benefit of the Unita- i rian Church. The hail was crowded 1 with the beauty aud intelligence of our i city. Anticipation was high, but there was no disappointment, for the tastes of the most fastidious aud discriminating were gratified by the excellence of the music and the perfection of the singing. Then came Howe’s circus which set all young Charleston crazy with a delight, which was but enhanced by the magnificent show made in the parade through our streets. Quickly following, was Sheri dan & Mack’s Troupe whose perfor mances were not as well attended as they deserved; and lastly, but not least “Buffalo Bill” and “Texas Jack,” to gether with their company, made their appearance last night to a crowded house. To say that the audience was pleased would be but faintly to express fheir opinion, which they manifested by frequent encores. Both the dangers and pleasures of frontier life were graphically depicted, while nothing was said that could offend the most fasti dious lady. Emanuel. Facts About the German Army. [Dresden Chronicle. 18th. As everything connected with the organization of the German armj 7 pos sesses great interest for all the world, we hasten to communicate to our readers the important fact that the number of remounts for the armies of Germany, exclusive of Bavaria, Sax- j ony and Wuateraburg, has been fixed for the present year at 6,549. Each regiment of cavalry receives 63 and 1 each regiment of artillery 53. In Sax any and Wurtemburg the horses re quired for the armies are, out of mo tives of economy, privately purchased by the contractors. The same system is adopted in Bavaria, the young horses being sent to the remount de pots until they are thoroughly fit for the service. At the end of last year the province of Prussia contained 531,831 j horses; Silesia, 256,467; Braudenburg, j 235,987; Posen, 194,000; Pomerania, 172,- 181, the Rhine provinces, 131,256; I Westphalia, 115,674; Hanover, 186,712; ! Sleswick-Holstein, 134,144; and Hesse j Nassau, 65,255. There were 78,538 j horses in use for the army. Prussia j alone contained 2,280,606 horses, while ! the total for the whole of the German empire was 3,362,231. A. study equally interesting, and far more significant than equine statistics is tho increasing desertion from the German army, de- | sertion that is, in the legal term, for j every German liable to military duty i who does not appear when he is called : upon, is counted a deserter. Last year, ! 9 per cent, of the young men liable to serve omitted to present themselves when called upon, iu other words the deserters from the armies of the 1 Fatherland aggregated 82,418 men— j almost as many as the entire rank and ' file of the British army. It is un doubtedly true that 16,072 of these recusants to military duty belonged to Alsace and Lorraine, a still greater number—l6,B3o —were na tives of Prussia. Most of these men, just arrived at an age when their labor ought to be most beneficial to the community, are supposed to have left the country. Unless this exodus can be stopped Germany will have to submit every year to a loss of men greater than the entire losses in killed during the war with France. Well may German papers complain of the terrible burden of the military system ; but so long as the present military regime endures, that is, so long as the Emperor and Count Yon Moltke are to the fore there is but scant hope of the burden being perceptibly lightened. Meanwhile, what is one nation’s loss is another’s gain. The United States and the South American Republics are the richer by all that Germany loses in this migration. Fatal Duel Between Polish Jews—A Negro Desperado and Murderer. New York, November 2.—A duel oc curred this p. m. on the top floor of No. 106 Delaney street between two Polish Jews named Joseph Goldman and Moses Piskall.

New Series—Vol. 28, No. 77 GETTYSBURG. THE MORAL OF A GREAT BATTLE. i A Deed of Valor the South Should Not be Ashamed of—Gen. Lee’s Sublime Self-Sacrifice—The Dawn of Better Days. In a magnificent oration at Rich mond, Va., recently, Major John W. Daniel recounted the dramatic story of Gettysburg, and concluded his ad dress as follows: “My chief object has been to state facts which will stand as landmarks of Confederate history, rather than to attempt mellifluous phrases which would roll away like rippling waters. And these—selected from a mass—are related only in the hope of stimulating further researches and expositions, and not in the vain belief that they com prehend even the half of these sad but brilliant annals. “For many reasons it is important to you and to our people that the truth respecting this great action should be studiously explored and fully re counted. Fought at the furthermost northern point to which our armies penetrated at any time, it is projected into a conspicuousness which belongs to no other field. Its result increased in the North the prominence imparted to it by its geographical location, and Northern painters, sculptors, essayists, orators and historians have exhausted the resources of art and language in picturing its actors and its scenes, and in celebratiug the real, and too fre quently the fictitious, exploits which the Union troops performed. “Above all, it marked a decisive turn in the fortunes of the war. ‘lt was/ as Mr. Swiuton styles it, ‘the high water mark of the rebellion.’ It was, | indeed, what the historian Hallam so finely says of the victory won by Chas. Martel over the invading Saracens be tween Tours and Poictlers, ‘one of those few battles of which the contrary event | would have essentially varied the drama of the world in all its subse quent scenes.’ For had the grand as sault on Cemetery Ridge been compen sated by results proportioned to the genius which directed, and the courage which made it, Baltimore and Wash ington would have been its prizes, for eign recognition its reward, and the establishment of the Confederate States as an independent nation its final fruitage. Throughout the North, on the 4th day of July, 1863, the telegraphic wires were flashing with the news bonfires and joyous bells were welcom ing the tidings—that Pemberton had stacked arms before Grant and Vicks burg, and that Lee had been repulsed by Meade at Gettysburg. At once de spondent hearts were elated; elamor our peace men were silenced; distract ed counsels were harmonized, and a di vided people were united. The rich, populous, world-assisted North stood in phalanx against the thin, impover ished and beleaguered people of the South. The policy of attrition was in augurated, and henceforth the strug gle—though radiant with all the vir tues thatjheroism, skill and self-sacri fice could put forth—was only a con test between the sands of the hour glass and time. “While these causes have conspired to direct the eyes of the world to the field of Gettysburg, they made it to us a sore subject, reviving sorrow for the ‘unreturuing brave’ who fell there, in creasing the poignancy of defeat by the contrast between the bright prom ise of the first day’s battle and the dis astrous realizations of the third, and bringing to mind the sad refrain: ‘Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these—it might have been.’ “Therefore, its glorious annals have been neglected on our side; criticisms and censures upon gallant and worthy officers have gone unchallenged, and as yet no hand has unfolded the graphic scroll that shall tell to time the deeds which are worthy of eternity. Let no Confederate shrink before the name of Gettysburg because it was dark with disaster and bitter with dis appointment. The gallant Frenchman blushas for Sedan and Metz the blush of shame, but with us the cheek may well glow with honest pride as we re call the past, that on the day of our misfortune the flame of liberty was fed with the richest libation ever poured upon her altar, and glory opened to the Confederate brotherhood who gathered around them the doors of im mortality. The open fields over which the unsheltered heroes moved tell more eloquently than the emblazoned page of history the tale of their devo tion, and all Seminary Ridge is their everlasting monument. And now we may apply to them the words of Pericles, pronounced in memory of the Athenians who fell in the Persian war: “They are become immortal like the gods, for the gods themselves are not visible; but from the honors they re ceive and the happiness they enjay we conclude they are immortal, and such should die for their country.” “ Nor let the Confederate shrink be fore that critic who, from the serene atmosphere of his sanctum, steps forth to pluck a laurel from the reputation of that great commander, who so boldly attempted what others would pale to think of. With the fall of Vicksburg imminent, Gen. Lee felt that the hour demanded this Herculean effort. With the spirit of a Ceasar or a Napoleon he braveiy cast and bravely stood the hazard of the die. By the very audac ity of his well-aimed stroke, he de served—by the steady heroism of Pick ett’s men—he well nigh won, and only by a series of those curious accidents which, in the game of war, oonfound the wisdom of the wise, did he lose that crowning triumph which his su preme endeavor was so well devised to win. “ ‘lt was all my fault,’ said Gen. Lee, but not such will be the verdict of the just historian, who shall traoe through the sanguinary and tumultuous inci dents of that hard fought field the course of him, who, after exposing his person with unconscious course to all the dangers of the fray, in the grandeur of his soul would crucify his own illustrious name, and make that repu tation, more precious than life itself, vicarious sacrifice for his lieutenants and his men. And when the moralist, peeking the brightest example of what is heroic and grand in action and martyr-like In spirit, that he may erect a model before human kind to warm its finest fancies and excite its highest aspirations, he shall find it in the person of Robert Lee upon the summit of Seminary Ridge, the mount of bis configuration, where sublima ting all earthy instincts, the divinity In his bosom was transoendent through the man, and his spirit rose up into the god-like 1 “And the day shall dawn when here on the Capitol Square we look again upon the warrior’s form and face moulded in perennial bronze; shall see him once more mounted on his battle steed, the seeming image of majesty To Advertisers and Subscribers.

Griffin News: Wm. Copeland, one of the oldest and best citizens of Henry county, died last week at the advanced age of eighty-nine years. He was born in Lawrence District, South Caro lina, in 1786, and married in Henry county, Ga., when quite a young man, where he resided up to the time of his death. He raised a family of twelve children, has eighty odd grandchildren and a goodly number of great grand children, and a host of friends left be hind to mourn his loss. Columbus Enguirer : A telegram re ceived here yesterday announced that ■ that morning Mr. D. D. Johnson, spe cial agent of the Georgia Home Insu rance Company, was found dead in his bed in Perry, Houston county, Geor gia. He was a native of Illinois, and 28 or 30 years of age. He had been employed in Atlanta, and was after wards retained by the Georgia Home, in whose service he has been for some months. A wife and child have been awaiting his coming, but alas ! it will never be, except as a corpse. They are boarding with Mis# Lila Howard. The deceased is thought to have destroyed his own life, because of financial troubles. The remaius will probably arrive here to-day. Covington Star: A most shocking accident occurred last Thursday week near Walnut Grove, in Walton county, which resulted in the instant death of Mr. James Brand, a highly respected citizen of that county. Mr. Brand was engaged in making sorghum syrup at the time, and in raising up suddenly from a stooping position his head was caught between the lever to which the horses were attached and the end of one of the upright posts over which the lever passed, and was instantly crushed to a jelly, and almost torn from his boby. Mr. Brand was about twenty-seven years of age, and leaves a wife and one child, and a large circle of friends, to mourn his untimely death. THE SECOND OF THE KIND. An Extraordinary Surgical Operation Upon the Carotid Artery. [Detroit News.] The public have not forgotten the terrible powder explosion which occur red at Ann Arbor abeut the middle of August. All of the wounded are about their business save Henry Ortman, the step-son of Mr. Herz, in whose store the explosion occurred. It will be re collected that his right eye was sup posed to be destroyed, and that the right side of his neck was badly lace rated. His eye, it is now thought, will be saved if ho recovers from his other Injuries, which, however, are of a na ture that renders his case still extreme ly doubtful. It geems that a scale of glass or some other foreign substance had made quite an inciuion into the common car otid artery. For a time this foreign substance was held upon the wound so tightly by the facra. of the neck that the outward flow of blood to any great extent was prevented until a sac had formed about the arterial wound. This sac grow in size rapidly, the blood lat terly spurted Into it from the artery at every beating of the heart, until, when the operation was performed on Thurs day afternoon, it had reached the size of a man’s fist, with a possibility to burst at any moment. The nature of the case was such that the artery could not be ligated below the sac, as has been done in some in stances, as the sac came within a quarter of an inch of the collar bone. Therefore after a sufficient dissection to enable the proper pressure to bo brought to bear upon the artory the sac was opened and the ligation suc cessfully secured. Some dozen arteries beside the carotid had to bo ligated during the operation. The operation was performed by Prof. Geo. E. Frothingham, of tho medical department of the Miohlgan University, who had charge of the case from the first, assisted by Prof. Mc- Lean, Prof. Cheever, Dr. Knapp, and several medical students. It is the second operation of the kind upon the carotid artery on record. The other case was performed by the late Prof. Syme, of Edinburgh, Scot land, some twenty years ago. The loss of blood was so small that transfusion, which had been in con templation, was not resorted to. The patient was doing as well as could possibly be expected twenty-four hours after the operation, with about an equal chance between life and death, A. H. Stephens and Education. The eloquent Congressman from Georgia is writing to the Christian at Work on the subject of education. Of Jefferson’s example, he says : The father died when the son was but fourteen. The thorough education or this son lay nearer his heart than all the wealth he had to bestow upon him. His dying injunction was that Thomas should receive such an education above every other consideration. This wise parent looked well to physical develop ment, and deeply impressed upon his youthful mind many pertinent maxims and principles. Among these was proper respect to superiors, with due courtesy to inferiors. Of the whole retinue of servants that thronged the paternal mansion, Thomas was taught never to call upon one for any personal service that he could ren der himself. The maxim was, “Never ask another to do for you what you can do for yourself.” Long in after life, when Mr. Jefferson had attained the highest distinction, he often said he more highly prized the education secured by the dying injunction of his father than all the estates he had left him. So will it be with parents, if they can but succeed in securing for their children that education which should be their chief object. If your means be ever so limited you cannot dispose of them to their utmost extent in a better way.
