Tite Democrats of Talbot county have nominated J. D. Woodall and W. B Spain us their candidates for Representatives. The members of the State Democratic Executive Committee are requested to meet at Atlanta on Saturday, the 22d day of Oc tober, at 10 o’clock, a. m.

The war among the Missouri Radicals is becoming interesting. The party is in rapid process of extinction, for which the people of the State ought to he thankful The split is complete, and the contest prom ises to be lively and hot, and charaotei ’zed by a showing up of Radical rascality that will astonish the Radicals themselves. A Washington special of theTtb inst. to the Macon Journal gives the following as revenue appointments made on that day for the State of Georgia: John Riley, Samuel T. Anderson, Louis Seldnor, Win. Good win, Assistant Assessors for the 4th District; Chas. W. Chapman, Wm. T. Gay, J. T. Sandwich, Assistant Assessors for the Second District. The great crisis of our success depends upon the action of every Democrat from now until the election. Let us have a unity of purpose and aotion, with but one great and grand object in view—thp success of the Democratic pa~ty. Let us have no pseudo friends, self interested, watching the current that they may drifr with it—let it be Democracy or Radicalism A man cannot be a Democrat and Radical, nor is there any standpoint between them. If a man is not a Democrat he is a Radical —therefore an enemy. Let us discharge our whole duty, work like true, honest, deter mined Democrats for our regular nominated candidates under any and all circumstances Democratic triumph, nest election, means better times! Means a cessation of the official robberies of the people! Would it not justify every or.e to make a trial ofl such a triumph ? No harm could possibly! result froir an honest effort of every true! patriot to accomplish such a triump that! would bury the Radical vultures of the! peoples rights and treasure so deep that, its would he impossible to ever resurrect them* again to curse an honest people with theirl reckless inicquities or presence for all time! to come. Work. I nder the head of ‘‘llow a President can! take care of his family,” the New York Sun tells the following stcry : ‘ A vacancy occurring in the Revenue offices ii Schenck’s district, that gentleman went to Washington to consult about the selection. Applying at the Treasury Department, he was informed that the place had been filled by the express direction of President Grant Not desiring to wait upon the President himself, be caused a gentleman of high station and great influence to go to the White House in relation to the business This gentleman earnestly represented t the President the necessity of allowing Gen. Sehenck to control this appointment, lie said that the question of Gen. SehenckVl re election was now pending; that it would be a disaster to the party and the adminis tration to have him defeated, and that fm every reapon it was indispensible that the objectionable appointment should at onc« be recalled, and the candidate whom Gen. Schenck retsn mm ended put into the < ffice. The President listened with his usua impassiv'eness, and after the visitor had concluded, he said : “I nrn very sorry foi Gen. Schenck, but the appointee is one of. iny second cousins.” I DEATH OF GEN. R. E. LEE. In consideration of the late hnur of re ceiviug the sad intelligence of the death of Gen. E. E. Lee, ami the absence of do I Editor, we appropriate the following from jthe Atlanta Sun : ** G< j ere; 1.-e ; s (Lad ! |fn these few’ w rd- s ■ eh-qiwnt pang of S-orr w. the Oi.lv XDi'e*- on of which is ir I ■ J gutter silence. We can feel the sensation of I the grief occasioned hy the announcement —fed it utterly and hopelessly, hut are too weak to fitly express the sentiment. The pain is too great—the sorrow too tnten*>e ft crushes through our natures, as though the lightnings of the Great Jehovah were vdiawndown ir. special vengeance, to blight |ar and biast, and scar and deva-tate whatever flics in their pa r hwnv.

Thei ■very casement il tire world seem to shiver and creak with an agony that they an! powerless to restrain, and we hopelessly endeavor to compass the compact of grief! and dread which throbs in every word > f I the announcement that General Le** i«j dead. We remember the desolate feeling thafj (tame with the intelligence that Richmond; had fallen. We knew ir was the end of aj beautiful dream that bad skied tie overhead,! arousing the last pulse of our ambition j (nd vitalizing every drop of the chivalric I blood of oar people. But the memory of that feeling recalls no ag>ny so great as tbat which overwhelms us to-day. Pen never wrote more sorrowful words. Heart nev. r felt a greater woe. Death never he |f ire so utterly crushed a people bv one I single blow. Grief never had a rneereri shrine at which to weep itself away. Love;, never mourned a greater bereavement- Patriotism never lost a higher illustration j Truth never wept a more illustrious exam jj tile. Humanity was never called upon to] ament one who more fully vindicate all; that was noble and grand. An attempt to eulogize him now were hut? . .... . | a painful mockery. Ilis deeds are his best eulogy—the only one that is entirely fitting,; and they will go thundering down the ages j eloquent and true, bidding history make* room for ore who is peer of the peerless.] and breathing anew song upon the lyre of Poesy. The world of the dead will make; ... . f room for him above its Alexanders, its Cm j sars and Napoleons, and beside its one] Washington. Immortality mignt veil cov j et such a treasure, and history rejoice that: he belongs to her henceforth. Aye, we may glory in the greatness of our; (lead ! We may he proud to live in the land' that gave him birth. We fel to-day, more than ever, the horror that come of being* able to say, *T fought under Lee.” We are; nrond that he is ours The world will claim his deeds, hut they were for us. The? world will eulogize his memory, and in that, will praise us. In the very midst of our sorrow, the stiff neck of our pride will pro [ trude, arid in the same breath that comes; hot and panting from our tortured souls; we shape a challenge to the world to pro duce a man like Robert E. Lee. Oh ! the pain and desolation that our’ people will feel to-day! We should dreal to face a crowd of Southern people and tell them that R. E. Lee is dead. When we saw strong men, last evening weak en nigh to! weep, and not ashamed of the weakness * we began to have some appreciation of h >w the news would be received. He was be loved as a father, and as such will be mourned, and as such will his memory he re-1 vered Time will never dim the lustre of hie t genius, but a? his fame grows older ir will justify the measure of Ins greatness and it; will become the energy of heroes to fashion]! their renown according to the similtude oft R.E.

Lw ir dead.” At the bat quet of the Southern visitors jat Cincinnati on Friday evening, lion ! George 11. Pendleton responded to a toast" in h mor of the ‘ Queen City,” offered by thel! excursionists. The scene is described by the Com nercial: “The scene at half-past! twelve o’clock, when the Hon. George II f Pendleton was called to respond to the toast* of the ‘Queen City,’ was one that tnose who; witnessed it will not soon forget, and that? the guests will take back with them, in* their memory, as one of the most stirring*? Eh they witnessed here. The cheers were? deafening, and were continued for at leasts a minute, while hats and handkerchiefs) were waved and glasses elincked. Mr.| Pendleton waited patiently until this en-| thu-iastic applause had died away, when* he made a brief and eh quent address.” | We call the attention of our colored citi-* aens to the following paragraph from the* American Union, edited by a Radical that* has so much to say about your right*: “We hear it asserted that colored men! are aspiring in almost every district in the State, Whie we and * not object to a mans because of his color, we do object when he is unfit, the sum'’ as we would it an unfit white should present himself, and especial • !y when hi- cdor will jeopardize the sucee-s of the party.” When Grant heard of the fight between Fisk and Maretzek, he is rep *ried to have immediately telegraphed the latter from L mg Branch : “I am delighted that you have thrashed! he scoundrel Jim Fisk He has bed on ■ me and my deer brother-in-law No. 18.. lie insulted me at Long Branch. Go for him again. My adminstration w’ill stand iby you. No longer let us have peace,” jj |CO6T OF TiiE ARMY IN TIME OF PEACE. 9 The following summary of facts which ■we take from the Nashville Uuion ; show Sto.wbat extent Radical plunder is being or*, under the pre.-ent administration : i The war irt th» field has been ended for gmore than five years. In ail that time not SS i ‘ Rebel” soldier ha- any w here appeared ■to resist the authority of the United States. There has not been ft day irt all that- tune Ithat the United States Marshal could n<>t Sserve any proce-s that he might be requir ed to execute. Notwithstanding this, » Comparatively large army nas been kept up at an annual expense more than double L’r'oit of the army during the Mexican war «.The expei dilutes on account of the fiscal Tve r ending June 3 , I*7o, were .$57,655.- |075.40 England, with a standing army of gone hundred thousand, expends only $75.* funder a Republican government with her f , twtnhj-four regiments, under a I! dical ad .ministration spends near jiffy-eight millions -per annum. Contrast the army expenses -under Radical and Democratic administra (• vtions. tind the extravagance of Radical rule ..becomes ipparent. The expen#% of the Ijarmy for tin 1 year ending June 30. IBGO, fwas only $14,472 202.72! less than one -quarter the c st of the last year! During £jthe war with Mexico the expenditures for 1846. under Democratic rule, was between |jten and eleven millions ; in 1847. five and thirty-six millions; and in piB4B, between twenty-seven and twenty height millions—an average of $24.00u,( 00 jtper year and less than one-half requ red b\ jiGen. Grant for one year in time of profound Ipeace. In the fifth year after the Mexican vv .r the war expenses were reduced from $35,00 ,000 in 1847, to le3s than $9,000,000 |in 1851 and 1852, under the administration gj |of Mr. Fillmore. Mark the difference *.Eoio, after five years of peace, we are pay-' jping more than six times nine millions for canny expenses under a Radical administra- Ntion, and a party that claims to be eoonom |ical. In the better days of the Republi ' the army was not used to carry elections r"_ _ \ >;and deprive citizens of their civil rights to -perpetuate party rule. When the army is ■thus subverted from its ligitimate field of aduty, it is no Wonder that the cost of main taining it has so largely increased under Radical rule.” Galveston.
