Our exchanges from nearly ev ery section tell of rust on cotton. Well, it is best not to make too much, anyhow. The Sibley cotton mills in Au gusta took tire last Friday, and before the flames could lie sub dued sulfered a loss of $30,000.

Ninety thousand dollars have been divided out among tlie James’ Bank creditors, avd money is easier m Atlanta. War between France and China is imminent. It is thought that perhaps Germany is. hacking Chi na in her refusal to pay France the required indemnity. Atlanta commenced the search for artesian water last week. If the effort is successful the city will be dotted all over with arte sian wells. Mr. Henry L. Long, of Lee coun ty, lias been nominated for the State Senate from the lOtli Dis trict. embracing Lee, Dougherty and Worth counties. The Mj »f CitisMM. We boast of a great country, and our free institutions. Hen every man, unless convicted i crime, is a voter. Every man is a factor in the government. For the failure or success of all our affairs, therefore each individual is in a measure responsible. If good men are in office, and their administration is helpful to flic people, each man may congratu late himself upon the fact that lie had a part in the matter—he vo ted for them. If bad men curse the land by their counsels, each individual ought to feci that he is personally res|K>nsible for such a state of affairs—unless he both voted and used all his influence against them. Wc are soon to have a numlier of important elections. Offices are to be filled from the county Rep resentative up to the Presidency of the I’nited States. For every position the very best men possi hie ought to be selected. Good men ought to attend the prima ries, and all the conventions, and use their influence in favor of good men for these offices. It very fre quently occurs that a very objec tionable man get3 into office by bis own push and |iersistencr, and good men do not care to oppose him. All this is wrong. The good citizens of a town, county or State have it in their power to de feat all such men, and arc dire lict to their duly if they fail to do it. Many, after all, are not careful of their votes as they ought to be. The privilege of voting is a very great one, but it carries with it many rcs|x>nsibiliUes, and these ought always to bo considered.— We think no-man is entitled to the suffrage of liis fellow citizens un less lie IS I'EtlSOSALLT 1*1're. We do not stop to discuss the views held lay some, but to express our own. Wc would not ask what lie lias done for his party—but is lie an honest man—does lie pay bis debts—at the rate ot 100 cents on the dollar—is lie a man of integ ritv—a man of truth—does he live right—right in his family— right in his domestic relations— right in iiis business relations— right everywhere? Is he a man whose influence, socially and otii erwise, is good? Is lie, by reason of Iiis own private character, able to elevate the standard by which men estimate right and wrong? If so, good citizens can safely vote for him—otherwise they contrib ute by their vote to demoralize and debauch public sentiment by voting for men who do not possess these essential qualifications. Others can do as they please, hut for ourselves wc pnqiose to help into office by our vote, only such men as approve themselves j to iis by tlie possession of a sound | moral character. Senator Brown. The next Legislature of Geor gia which convenes in Atlanta next November will electa L’nited States Senator to succeed Senator Brown, whose term of office ex pires on tlie 4th of March 1885. Senator Brown will be a candi date for re election, and there can ' , l ■e-Vnlon of the (IkSeorfia. Many of the surviving members if this famous old regiment met n Macon last week, and had a pleasant time. Tlie meeting wae one of great interest, especially because of the return of a flag captured by the 56th X. Y. Rcgi ment, at the battle of Coosahatcli- ic. We wish we could copy the entire account of the meeting, hut the following condensed account we take from the Constitution. A full and interesting account is given in the Telegraph of the 22<i inst.: the exercises. Scaled on tlie stage were Cap tain J- S. King, Judge Xlies, Cap tain Kiddoo. Secretary Hightow er, Chaplain Lester, Captain Pot tie, Captain Fulton, Msj. Ainsley. Colonel Thomas Burney, Major D. B Jones, and Colonel Geo. W. Burr. On motion of Captain Pol tie Major D. H. Ainsley was called to the chair, ami Captain H. H. Hightower made secretary. Prayer was then offered by the chaplain, Rev. R. B. Lester. Col onel Thomas J. Burney then in troduced Congressman Harde man, who delivered the address of welcome, which was most pleasing to the survivors, and l.e was a; - platidcd throughout. He was re plied to by Captain E. II. Pottle. Captain L. C. Young, of the Fifty- sixth Xew York regiment was in troduced. As be stepped forward lie was received with cheers. In his hands lie held a package of brown pa|ier containing the flag of the regiment captured by his com mand. He made a profound impression on iiis hearers. He pictured the battle of the Olh of November, ’64, at FortCoosaliatehie, in such real istic colors that there was a com motion among the listeners often. He told how the two opposing commands met, of the gallant charges. He pictured the bril liant charge of the Fifth Georgia as it drove Iiis regiment through the famous scdgefield, of the com pany’s strategic movement over topping their left. HOW THE FI.AO WAS CAFTITRED. At this moment the flag wo. captured. The color sergeant wared the flig h'gli above Iiis head, and the men rallied about it. He was shot down, followed by five others, still the colors would lie tossed up, never hating been allowed to trail the dust Its heroic defense elicited tin highest admiration of the con quering foe. It was the pride ot the regiment to capture it. As ihe last man who held it fell, il sank to rise no more until present ed to day to its gallant defenders. It had liecn the desire of the com inand to return the colors, and to day it gives them pleasure to do so. As lie said ibis he unrolled tin- package and the flag was dis played. He was filled with emo tion and eould hardly give litter anee to Iiis thoughts. When the flag was unfolded and the inscrip lion caught the men who had foi lowed it so often, there arose THE RKKEI. TEEL that lasted several seconds. The scene was one seldom witnessed. Men and women shed tears of emotion that could only lie brought forth on occasions like tlii-r. When the s|)eaker finished be was eon gratulated on all sides for his man ly address and sympathetic ac tions. Captain John F. Kiddoo then took it and in a brief speech received it in behalf of the regi ment. The following was the election of officers: President—Major D II. Ains- lcy.
