EP*The Radical demand to the South,
(says the N. Y. World) is this; reject the
amendments, and we keep you out of the
Union; adopt them, and we do not promise
to let you in. It is the story of white man
and Indian over again. The two shot a tur
key and a crow. Said the white man: “Now,
you take the crow and I’ll take the turkey,
or let me take the turkey and you the crow.”
“Ugh!” was the rejoinder, “Indian get crow
all the time.” So, under the Radicals, the
South will get exclusion all the time.

Election op a State Senator.—
The Columbus Enquirer learns that Dr. J. E.
Blount, of Stewart county, has been elected
Senator for the 12th District, composed of
the counties of Stewart, Webster and Quit-
man, to fill Mie seat vacated by the death of
Hon. W. Boynton. He was opposed by John
M. Scott, Esq., and the contest is said to have
been a very close one—Blount’s majority
probably about thirty votes. Wo are inform
ed, says tlie Enquirer, that Dr. Blount an
nounced himsclt in favor of the abolition of
the County Courts and for “relief” to the
people. Whether there was any distinct is-
■ue upon these* questions made up between
himself and his opponent, we do not know t
but these were the chief topics of discussion
among the people.
“ The Child’s Delight.”—The editor and
proprietor of this excellent juvenile monthly,
has laid on our table the number for Novem
ber. It is well got up in all its departments,
and evinces good judgment, industry and a
deep interest in the subject of moral instruc
tion for the young on the part of ite conduc
tor. A new feature, we perceive, has been
added to the column of amusements, viz.:
“ Pictorial Puzzles,” which are well calcula
ted both to interest and exercise the youthful
mind.
We again take occasion to recommend this
paper to parents and Sunday Schools through
out the South. It is just such intellectual
and moral food as children need, and in
glancing over a number of Northern periodi
cals in the same department of literature,
which enjoy an extensive patronage, we find
it in every respect superior to them all. It is
nearly twice the size, is printed with larger
and better type, is quite as well illustrated, and
its matter is equally interesting and far bet
ter adapted to Southern children. Besides
this, the “Delight” is published now at
equally low rates with its inferior Northern
competitors, the proprietor having reduced
the rates in the present number to 50 cents
per single copy, and 25 cents per copy for any
number over ten sent to one address. When
so much good can be accomplished at so tri
fling a price, every community should sec that
the work is distributed to every family
through its Sunday School, where those in
stitutions exist, and by individua subscrip
tions where they do not.
Political Prospects.
The Richmond Times says:
Advices from t.he North indicate an abate
ment of Radical violence. As is always the
case subsequent to elections, the unity of the
triumphant party is threatened, because oj
those differences upon certain questions which
are ignored during the canvass in order to
maintain the harmony necessary to suc
cess.
The recent victories of the Radicals seri
ously menace their party unity. Many of the
politicians who have assailed the Presidential
policy of Southern rehabilitation, and given
their cordial co-operation to the plan of Con
gress, are men of modern views, when com
pared with Brownlow, Stevens and Wendell
Phillips. Tho brutal disposition of the lat
ter towards tho South is utterly revolting to
them, and there cannot possibly be even an
approach to unanimity in the adoption of
any general policy. Sumner, Butler and Ste
vens will insist upon confiscations, negro suf
frage, the hanging of Mr. Davis and the im
peachment of Mr. Johnson. The more mod
erate men will favor none of these mad pro
jects; the extreme Radicals will be content
■with nothing short of the thorough adoption
and execution of their violent views; and it
is simply impossible for them to command
the strength in Congress and the popular
sympathy necessary to their plans.
It is reasonably clear that Mr. Johnson
does cot fear impeachment, and that really
he has no occasion for such apprehensions.
In addition to the fact that his enemies will
be utterly unable to establish a case against
him, sufficiently strong to justify such an ex
treme measure, even with the Radical masses,
the l&ngth of time consumed in debate upon
the proposition of impeachment, the impa
tience of the people under constant agita
tions, assisted by the calm and dignified at
titude of tho South, will consummate the in
cipient split in the Radical organization.—
There is even a probability that tho attempt
to force the Constitutional Amendment upon
us will be abandoned. The Northern peo
ple, seeing in our unresisting attitude of pa
tience under accumulated suffering and pro
vocation, a sufficient refutation of the Radi
cal charges against us, of a belligcrant and
rebellious disposition, will cease to be urgent
for "guarantees'’of our faithful allegiance in '
the shape of u base surrender of our man-1
hood, ami an odious proscription of our most
eminent fellow-citizens. I
MARYLAND”—BELLIGERENT INDI-
CATI ' NS.
If Gov. Swann and tho Radicals are both
in earnest, and the witnesses against the Po
lice Commissioners have sworn to tho truth,
it is difficult to see how a collision of themost
fearful character, can be avoided in poor, op
pressed Maryland. Both sides appear to be
getting ready for the deadly strife. The
Radicals of Pennsylvania, by the institgaiou
of Forney, are secretly preparing to march
in arms to Baltimore and aid the insurgents
in resisting the State and Federal authori
ties. Gen. Butler, it is said, lias telegraphed
to the Police Commissioners stimulating them
to resist, and oflering to go to their aid at
the head of ten thousand Massachusetts sol
diers, who, he says, would fly with alacrity
to avenge the Massachusetts blood shed in
the streets of Baltimore on the 19th of April,
1801. There is something to be appre
hended from the Pennsylvania Dutch, ‘who
never shrink from a fight; but if Butler and
his mob of New England Yankees were all
Gov. Swann had to fear, ho might possess
his soul in peace.
As regards this whole matter, it is very ev
ident that the people of the border States do
not intend to submit quietly to oppression
at the hands of the Radical minority in de
fiance of all law and right, and that the lat
ter will have to resort to force or give up
their unjust and wicked designs. The war,
if commenced at all, will be inaugurated by
the Radicals, and they boldly avow their in
tention to inaugurate it in the event Gov,
Swann shall exercise his undoubted legal
right and remove the Commissioners. If the
cenflict must arise, Baltimore, the present
issues and the present time, are as acceptable
as any.
THE DUTIES OF THIS DAY.
All the regular Pastors of our city ore now
at tbeir posts, and will this day exercise their
sacred functions, at the usual hours. It is
not unbecoming in us to remind our readers
of their responsibility to their 3Iaker, and
to urge them, on this,'the holy day consecra
ted by the Almighty for that purpose, to use
the appointed means making their peace
with God.
The Preacher is sent by the Divine Being
to point out the way of life: the Sabbath is
set apart for his ministrations : the sanctua
ry is reared wherein the people may hear the
heavenly message; and all are invited to at
tend. The spirit of God promises to meet
the worshipper there and reward his devout
service: He promises forgiveness for the pen
itent, and eternal happiness to those who ac
copt the terms of mercy.
Reader, thou art immortal. This fleeting
life is by no means the limit of thine exist
ence. Death will but usher thee into other
and more awful realities, and as death leaves
thee, so the Judgment will find thee; for we
must all appear before the judgment seat of
God. Not one can evade the issues of that
day. As wise men, to whom death may come
at any hour,-let us prepare for that solemn
time, by seeking to make our peace with
Him who is to be our Judge.
And this day, when the tones of the church
going bell call, let us seek the House of God-
and worship in its courts. Let us for a brief
while, forget all the pursuits, anxieties and
fascinations of the world, and turn our
thoughts to holy things, and seek to ensure
for our souls those enduring joys that are
promised in th'e Bible.
Blest Sabbath! it reminds us of Heaven
and the rest of Heaven.
May all who read these lines seek that rest-

[despatches to the associated tress.] •
BUTLER AND BROWNLOW OUTDONE.
Mr. Shellabarger, one of the Radical mem
bers of Congress from Ohio, in a recent speech
at Xenia, Ohio, out-Heroded all his Radical
associates, from Butler down, in his threats
upon the President. He did not stop to read
a bill of indictment against the Executive of
the nation, but threatened the uae of the axe
in the following style:
And let it be understood “ by all whom it
may concern,” that Tuesday’s olcctions mean
that while this nation has a mantle fora fault
of inauguration day, and a Lethe for him who
merely outraged all the proprieties of official
station and of private life, yet for him who
presumes to touch the sacred life of the gov
ernment this nation has an axe. And let me
in all clemency and charity say to the Presi
dent, that Tuesday’s elections signify that
should one step bo taken by him to put into
execution that threat that the Congress is to
be ignored, then speedily, relentlessly, on his
official head that axe tciU fall. And then a
bad President will be remembered as eminent
only us a National dishonor.
We take it for granted that this Mr. Scaly-
barker will take the axe along with him when
he next goes to Washington and volunteer as
executioner. The chopping oft of the Presi
dent’s head he will find the easiest thing in
the world—of course! And, then, after he
gets through with that small job, should tho
Supreme Court decide that laws arc null and
void because of tbeir passage by an unconsti
tutional body, there will be eight or ten more
heads for this valiant Scalybark to topple
from the scaffold. ,
“The Wits of Georgia.”—This is the
title of a lecture delivered by Mr. Salem Dut-
cher, in Augusta, Thursday[cvening last, and
his subjects are said to '|liave been Judge
Longstrcet,] W. T. Thompson,f (Maj. Jones,)
and Charles H. Smith,’(Bill. Arp-) Wo think
the gcntleman'madc a great mistake in chris
tening his lecture. The individuals named
are confessedly among the greatest humorists
of our State, but they could hardly be classed
among the “ wits.”
Wc have in our mind at present but two
“ wits” that Georgia has produced in the last
half century—Judge Underwood and Judge
Dooley. A lecture on these gentlemen would
be a “taking” affair, and we suggest that
some competent person undertake the task.
It would enliven everybody and put money
in the purse of the lecturer. Our old friend,
Judge Garnett Andrews, of Wilkes, no mean
wit himself, knew both characters well, and
would do justice to the subject Wc hope he
is neither too old nor too badly whipped to
treat his friends to an occasional dish of fun.

that battle.

As God in His all-wise Providence has removed
lrom us by death, our beloved Brother, F. H.
CLARKE, we of “Franklin Lodge,” in testimony
of our deep regret and sympathy for his bereaved
widow, have adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved, That as again we the members of I
“Franklin Lodge, are called upon tomonrn one of
our members, endeared to us by his virtues and the
ties of fraternity which daily intercouse has formed
and strengthened while onr hearts arc filled with
sorrow when we remember that his familiar voice
will greet us no more, nor our weekly meetings be
enlivened by his presence. Still we would not i
mourn for him in hopeless grief, trusting as we do,
that the freed Spirit has ascended to the Throne of
God. 1
Resolved, That we, his “Brothers,” do mingle
our sympathies with “her,” who in this affliction,
Weekly Review of tlie Market.
DAILY telegraph OFFICE,)
Macox, Oct 27, 1SCC. J
COTTON—Tke receipts since our last are a little in
excess of those of the previous week, th.ugli the sales
are not quite so heavy.
The market at the date of our last review closed at 31
cents for New York Middlings. On Monday, of this
week, there was a slight disposition on the part of buy
ers to hold oSfat the opening, but they gradually yield
ed to holder’s figures, and a brisk demand stt in, which
continued even after the receipt of tho New York noon
dispatches, and the market closed firm, at 31 cents as
the outside figure.
On Tuesday, the market opened with an increased
demand, and sales were effected at an advance of 1 cent
on the quotations of Monday. The noon dispatches,
quoting a decline in tho New York market, checked the
Inquiry, and the market closed dull at 31 cents forStrict
Middling.
The market on Wednesday opened rather languidly,
bnt as the day advanced the demand increased, which
caused buyers to advance their rates, which were readi
ly conceded by purchasers, and this brisk inquiry con
tinued nntil noon, when the inquiry fell oft after the re
ceipt of the New York dispatches, and the market clos
ed dull at 32 cents for Strict Middlings.
On Thursday there was a fair demand, at the previous
day’s quotations, bnt which fell off on receipt of ais"
patches quoting the New York market dull at 39 cents,
and our market closed inactive.
On Friday morning,’New York Middlings could not
be sold for over 31 cents, and a good demand set in at
that figure, and a good inquiry continued all day, the
market closing at 31 cents for Strict Middling.
The market to-day (Saturday) was rather inactive, and
but little Cotton was sold. The market closed firm at
the following figures:
Low Middling 29030
Strict Middling 31
We would remark, in conclusion, tt at most of our
planters are storing their Cotton in preference to sell
ing at present prices, and that most of the Cotton sold,
with little exceptions, is In small parcels.

weeks since; iu some instances a slight advance has
been obtained. Our last week’s prices are renewed,
with the remark that holders are rather firm. Wc

L ne no change. Holders arc, however, firm at these
gurcs viz: Goshen, 40@4oc; New York State and
Western, 35®40c.
Bagoing.—A better fcelinghas existed in the mark
ct for Bagging, and the inquiry has been good, though
the sales bar o not been large. Holders are not dis
posed to press sales and the prices of last week have
been firmly maintained. Wequote: Gunny, 34@35c;
Dundee, 35@42c. and Tucker, Carter & Co., 40@45c.
Covvee.—Wo have but little change to note in this
article. There is a fair stock of Rio on the market,

aro very firm at our figures, which are as follows:—
Superfine. $10.50@$11; Extra, $12@$14; Family, *15.50

Fish.—Prices of Fish remain firm, with a disposi
tion on the part of holders to advance their prices,
owing to the unfavorable accounts from the fisheries
as to the catch of fish of all kinds, and especially
Mackerel. We quote as before, with the remark that
the past week for Corn, and with the reduced stocl
on the market prices havo advanced. All tho trans
actions, however, have been made from store at *1 30
