Elections in twenty States
have been held during the present
week, showing a gain of 25 mem
bers of Congress tor the democrats.
New York gives Hoffman a ma
jority of 80,000, while the city roll
ed up 50,000 for him. Federal bay
onets were nowhere.
Alas ! for Peach. —The armis
tice which sent a thrill of joy
throughout the civilized Avorld, as
the the harbinger of peace, and
caused cotton to bound upward
like magic, collapsed ere it became
“un fait accompli, ” or had exist
ed even for a single day.
Now, the talk is, the Avar will
last all winter, and cotton takes the
back track, and all is gloom again.
< Military operations have been
resumed with great vigor on both
•ides, and soon we shall hear of the
terrific leaden and iron storm about
to burst upon the heautiful French
Capital. Humanity shrinks from
contemplating the scene.
JEST We invito the special and
earnest attention of every tax payer
in the land, to the-expose of legisla
tive prodigality and venality, pub
lished on our first page.
Os course majorities always give
the tone and complexion of delibera
tive bodies, hence we speak of the
acts of the dominant party as those
• really of the General Assembly.—
We do not wish to do injustices to
the few honest spirits who were
over found battling in the breach,
in defence of the credit and rights
of the State.
Our only regret is the pancily of
their numbers.
The Murder of Col. Ames.
This frightful occurrence freezes
with horror the blood of every
right minded citizen, and the heav
iest vengeance of the liw should be
visited upon the perpetrators of
the vile deed.
Such acts give color to the char
ges and malicious animadversions of
our enemies. All Avho honor the
laws and respect virtue, should unite
to Avipe out tho shame, by bringing
the offenders to condign and signal
punishment.
Col. Ames like all braA'emen was
no brawler. On the contrary he
perilled and lost his life whilst stri
ving to preservo the peace, and pae
ify those men of belial, who are the
scourge of the community.
Onr readers will remember the
atrocious and cowardly murder,
which Avas committed in the same
town about a year since, upon a
manacled prisoner in the custody of
the law. The offenders went un
whipt of justice, and behold the
fruits of such •impunity-
We repeat Avhat has been so of
ten reiterated, that until suitable
penalties are imposed and enforced
upon all who go armed and ready
for murder and deeds of violence,
on the slightest prcwocation, human
life Avill continue to be unsafe, and
a repetition of 1 these scenes of
blood must be -expected.
We trust Judge Harrell Avhenev
cr tho opportunity presents itself,
will vindicate the majesty of the
law to its most stringent extent,
and mako it indeed not an avenue
of escape, but a terror to all evil
doers.
A Nbav Radical Dodgh—Look
Opt, Sambo, for Your Hide.—
Jortey in his Philadelphia Press fe
licitates his party on the fact that
reeent experiments have demonstra
ted that the cuticle of a negro can
be engrafted on a white man. “If,”
says Forney, “a small piece of dark
skin can be made to groAv upon a
white man, his Avhote cutaneous
covering might thus be changed to
that of an African hue and Struct
ure. And if the skin, Avhy may
not the hair (meaning the wool) be
transplanted too ?”
This is a dangerous discovery,
for we shall expect to hear of car
pet wiggers Avho afe’daily growing
out of favor Avith the sooty sons of
Han), barking negroes for the pur
pose of stepping into their skins.—
Once establish the fact that a mean
white ma« can transfer his cuticle
in this Ayay, and we would not in
sure the*life of a negro in Georgia.
They will be scalped from their
croAvns to their heels by their Rad
ical friends, Avho will willingly be
flayed alive to enable them to fill
the offices of the country. Having
forfeited their characters, it will be
a small matter to give up their
bides for the sake of securing the
negro vote.— Savannah Morning

A Right Move-
In an article Avith the above cap
tion, the Waynesboro Burke Cos.
Expositor, anew and spirited week
ly, democratic all over, and all the
time, has the following:
On Saturday last a large number
of negroes, from all parts of the
county, assembled at the Court
House in the interest of the Demo
cratic party, and were most sensi
bly and earnestly addressed by
Adam Palmer,pastor of Old Church
(colored). He favored, and advised
strongly, the policy of voting for
and electing the true men of “our
own country and clime” to offices —
Congressional, Legislative, and
County. The meeting was harmo
nious; no disturbance, beyond a
“feeble” attack of one Radical ne
gro upon a reformed brother, oc
curred.
News like this from old Burke,
the carpet bag centre of middle
Georgia, is indeed cheering. Where
ever these birds of passage white
or black, make their appearance,
the simple and unwary among the
colored population are victimized,
and made to pay tribute.
Deceived and betrayed time and
again, forced into collision with
their life time friends and employ
ers, and made the stepping stone to
the advancement of these unprin
cipled interlopers, no wonder that
at length the scales begin to fall
from their eyes, and they wish to
be free in reality.
We commend the action of the
freedmen of Burke to our own col
ored friends.
Why should they longer groan
under the lash of a Jackson, or be
taxed to pay the expenses of itiner
ant radicals, whose only object is
plunder and self aggrandizement.
In some counties, already the
work of intimidation has commenced,
and colored democrats are threat
ened Avith personal violence for da- t
ing to act as freemen.
Let us assure those of that race
among us who wish to be friendly,
and are Avilliqg to cut loose from
leagues, oaths, and the domination
of wicked advisers, that they will
be fully protected and left free to
act as they please.
They should remember also that
Ave must all live under the same
laws, and if Ave desired to do so, it
would be impossible to Avrong or
oppress them. That will be a hap
py day to the country when black
and white shall harmoniously unite
in selecting those only to be their
rulers, who are upright and capa
ble. They have now the opportu
nity, and we trust will exhibit the
spirit of their Burke brethren in
the coming elections.
The Columbus Fair.
Our contemporary of the En
quirer, gives a glorious account of
this industrial exhibition. Georgia
leads the van now in agriculture, as
Avell as manufactures among the
States of the South.
Tho Augusta Fair also has proved
a brilliant success.
The baby slioav at Columbus was
a prominent featuro of the Fair.—
It seems the improvement of live
stock is not to be confined to
dumb animals, and beasts of
burden only. The human form
divine is to be cultivated also, and
hence fonvard big babies, and tAvins
and triplets especially, will be at
a premium.
This is all right. And if the
movement Will abolish tight lacing,
animated chignons, and the drome
dary-humps, yclept grecian bends,
a great good will have resulted.
Exercise, simple attire, and more
attention to the practical details of
the household, will not only ex
pand and improve the physique
of our ladies, but make them in
finitely more attractive and happy.
The Enquirer has the following
to say concerning the baby show :
This was a very pleasing feature,
and attracted a good deal of inter
est. There Avere hundreds of .ba
bies present, but only seventeen of
them had on the “wedding gar
ment”—that is to say, Eagle and
Phenix ginghams. The display
came off at 3 o’clock, j ust in front ‘
of the amphitheatre. In their “dis
guise” they showed off very advan
tageously—were a bright, happy
little set, and though they had been
on the ground the whole of the day,
not one of them Avhimpered, but en
tered the contest hopeful of getting
a free ride home. But, alas"! most
of them were doomed to a sad
awakening from their fond reverie.
There Avas a committee of three ap
pointed to award the premiums, of
which D. P. Ellis was chairman.—
After a minute inspection, the re
sult was announced as follows : Mrs.
J. J. Bradford, Ist premium; hon
orable mention, Mrs. Gus. Shin
gleur. The second premium was
given to a pair of twin boys of Mr.
J. C Cook, of Chattahoochee coun
ty, they being the tenth issue of sons
in the family. Well done for the
Cooks. They deserve well their
honors and their carriage. The
third premium was awarded to an
unfortunate cripple and deformed
child of Mrs. Pike, of Russell. (Xir
“Grace” was “thar,” and although
acknoAvledged tho prettiest gal ba
by in the lot, she couldn’t “come in.”
Who “keers”? Her daddy always
had to walk, and she’ll soon be able
to do the same. Three cheers for
Rooney & Warner -and their big
furniture warehouse.
Gen. Toomb’s Address.
The Columbus Enquirer of the
3d inst. says. The great event of
the day yesterday, at the Fair, was
the address of the Hon. Robert
Toombs. The distinguished orator
looks thinner than when he last ap
peared before a public assembly in
this city, and a free mixture of
gray in his former raven black
locks is plainly visible. But in
creasing years seem to have given
a more intellectual cast to his fine
features, and it "was evident from
his effort of yesterday that his great
mental powers are unharmed by
the touch of time.
Gen. Toombs’ address opened
with an eloquent and beautiful trib
ute to the dignity and the necessity
of labor. It was the law of God,
imposed upon man from the time
of his creation. He announced his
purpose to be to endeavor to show
how the least amount of human la
bor could supply the greatest
amount of human want. This was
all that man could do to mitigate
the stern decree “by the sweat of
thy brow shalt thou eat bread.”
The greater portion of Gen.
Toombs’ address was an argument
to show the impolicy of planting
all cotton, or large crops of cotton
and small crops of grain. He
contended that the true eeonomy
of the people of the South was to
plant a sufficiency of provision crops
for the support of their own fami
lies, their -laborers, their working
stock, and the fattening of their
own meat, and to give the surplus
labor to the production of cotton.
He showed the fallacy-of the cal
culation of many planters, by which
they figured out a greater amount
of money to be derived from an
acre in cotton than from an acre in
corn. The error consisted in the
assumption that it required no
more labor to cultivate an acre in
cotton than one in corn; whereas
the truth is the labor of the cotton
field is at least four fold the great
-est. The farmer breaks up his
ground for an acre of corn, plants
it, and gives it in all three work
ings—the Avhole consuming not
more than four days, at the cost of
about six dollars per acre; and
then the work is finished—the crop
laid by in July. Bnt cotton re
quires much more labor in planting,
thinning out, ploughing and hoeing;
and when July comes, instead of a
termination of work with the crop,
it still has to be ploughed and hoed,
and the picking will consume the
balance of the year. It thus ap
pears that the same force cannot
only cultivate a much larger area in
com than in cotton, but that only
about one third of the lime is re
quired for the- raising of com.—
Gen. Toombs regarded the time
consumed in the production of the
crops as a very important consid
eration in view of the present unre
liability of labor. Should the la
borers “strike” or quit their work
in July, the exclusive cotton plant
er is ruined; but he may be sure
of a com crop with only two months’
work in the spring. Inadequate as
are the remedies to enforce the ob
servance of labor-contracts, it is of
the utmost importance to the agri
culturalist that he should make
sure of at least a siqtport for the
year, in any contingency.
Gen. Toombs regarded the prac
tice of making Lonisville and other
Western cities the corn-cribs and
smoke houses of the South, as a
most wretched and impoverished
policy. He declared that it would
not do for our people to follow it,
even if they could get corn for
nothing in the Western .States.—
The freight and. other charges
would still amount to more than
the real cost of raising it here,
Avhen the proper proportion of cot
ton and corn is cultivated. Such a
policy would be the building of the
prosperity of other sections" to the
impoverishment of our own.
“Last Words” of Eminent
Men. —We had a curious droam
last night. We dreamed that the
world had grown about sixty years
older; that the present generation
had all passed away, save ourself,
and that we picked up a book in
which Avas recorded the “Last
Words” of some of the eminent
men ot the present day. Some of
these “Last Words” struck us with
such force that Ave reproduce them :
Rufus B. Bullock—“ Hurry up,
Hulbert! my ‘election day’ has
come.”
Scruggs, of the Era —“lt doesn’t
matter! I can Lie easy on either
side.”
Foster Blodgett—“l’ll swear it.”
George P. Burnet—“Grease me,
boys and let me slide.”
R. L. McWhorter—“Lend me a
dollar till I sell my dog.”
Sara. Bard—.“ Send me my sum
mer clothes.”
Varney Gaskill—“Pardon me;
my lowest price is one thousand.”
Aaron Alpeoria—“Wa-h o-o !”
Bryant—“ Kiss me, Scott, before
I go.”
O’Neal—“l’m suffering from “si
lent mortification.’ ”
Fitzpatrick— “Plaayne liquor,
with a dhrap of sugar.”
iom Tit Tweedy didn’t have any
‘last words.” He was still alive. —
I rovidence had forgotton him, and
hence didn’t kill him.
. Obediah Johnson— -“Helmbokl is
is a failure.” These Avords Avere
a eiy (bu)c(h)urious, and few under
stood them. ’ —Rome Commercial.

The Domestic Consumption of Cot
ton
The Statistical committee of the
National Association of Cotton Man
ufacturers and Planters have pub
lished the statistical report of their
chairman, Mr. B. F. Nourse, presen
ted to the Association on the 12th
of October. The most interesting
feature of this document is the esti
mate of home consumption based
upon returns representing eighty
three per cent, of the cotton spin
ning power of the country. These
returns, up to the first of October,
give the following as the domestic
consumption of the staple, estima
ted in bales of four hundred and
sixty-six pounds; totals, 847 mills
(738 northern and 109 southern),
7,114,000 spindles and 881,564 bales
used in 1860,-’7O, against 844 mills,
6,763,557 spindles and 864,254
bales used in 1868-’69, showing an
increase of 350,443 spindles and 17,-
310 bales. The consumption per
spindle in northern mills is given
at 50.87 , pounds, against 51.13
pounds last year ; which seems to
confirm the opinion generally held
by the trade that the average of do
mestic cotton fabrics produced du
ring the past year have been light
er than for the year ending August
31st, 1869, and much lighter than
in 1868, when the average con
sumption per spindle was 59.59
pounds, or 15 per cent, more than
during the year just closed.
Since the spring of 1869 the pro
duction of heavy cotton fabrics has
not been in a ratio proportionate to
the consumption, and the surplus is
now reduced very low. The re
port predicts that the mills are
about to enjoy a season of unusual
activity and profit, for the reason
that the demands of our rapidly in
creasing population will be large
and imperative, and the supply
somewhat limited, as manufacturing
power has not increased in propor
tion to the growth of f*>pulation,
and the demand for domestic con
sumption will be seconded by a de
mand for-export whenever the pri
ces of goods adapted to the foreign
market shall be low enough to jus
tify an attempt at the restoration
| of this once extensive and profitable
branch of trade.
Some statistics of the last crop
are also given. The total gather
ing is estimated at 3,200,000 bales,
about 50,000 bales more than the
estimates made up by Northern pa
pers, and only 3,828 bales less than
the summing up of the crop as
shown by the Courier’s annual
statement, which Avas 3,203,828
bales. The average weight of the.
entire crop of 1869-70 is about five
pounds per bale less than last year.
The aggregate stock in all European
countries October Ist, as nearly as
it could be learned, was about 825,-
000 bales, or some 24OJ)0O bales
more than at the same time in 1869,
while the amount at' sea was less,
leaving an estimated net inereaso of
about 112,000 bales. — Sav. Rep.
A Congratulatory Order from
Kino William. — Berlin , Nov. 3.--
The following Royal order of the
day is published this morning :
“Soldiers of the Confeder
ate Armies : When, three months
since, we took the field, I said God
would be Avith our just cause. That
this confidence.had been fully real
ized, Avitness Woerth, Saarbruck,
Metz, Sedan, Beaumont, Strasburg,
each a victory for our armies. To
you belong the merits of the glory.
You have maintained all the victo
ries which especially distinguish the
soldier. With Metz the last army
of the enemy is destroyed. I take
this opportunity to thank you all,
from the General to the soldier. —
Whatever the future, I look for-
Avard to it calmly, because I know
that with such soldiers, victory can
not fail.”

lIXPECTORANfI
|TCOUCH®LOS^aJ
For the Speedy Relief
AND PERMANENT CURE OF
CONSUMPTION,
BRONCHITIS, •
ASTHMA, COLDS,
AND ALL DISEASES OF THE
LUNCS, CHEST OR THROAT!
THE EXPECTORANT is composed exclu
sively of Herbal and Mucilaginous prod
ucts, which permeate the yery
SUBSTANCE OF THE LUNGS,
causing them to throw off the acrid mitter
which collects in the Bronchial Tubes, and at
the same time forms a soothing coating, re
lieving the irritation Which produces the
cough.
The object to be obtained is to cleanse the
organ of all impurities ; to nourish and
strengthen it when it has become impaired
and enfeebled by disease, to renew and invig
orate the circulation of the blood, and
strengthen the nervous organization. The
EXPECTORANT does this to an astonishing
degree. It is active but mild and congenial,
imparting functional energy and natural
strength. It affords Oxygen to vitalize the
blood and Nitrogen to assimilate the matter—
It eqalizes the “nervous influence,”
producing quiet and composure.
o
TO CONSUMPTIVES
It is invaluable, as it imm (liately relieves
the difficult breathing and harrassing cough
which attends that disease.
FOR ASTHMA
It is a specific—one dose often relieving the
distressing choking, and producing calm and
pleasant repose.
forTcroup
No mother should ever be without a bottle of
the EXPECTORANT in the house. We have
numerors certificates of it having relieved, al
most instantly, the little sufferer, When death
appeared almost inevitable.
MOTHERS BE ADVISED !
Keep it on Hand!
This dread disease requires prompt aotion ; as
soon as the hoarse, hollow cough is heard,
