His understrapper of Gainesville was present, and will give a different version of it no doubt, at the expense of the truth.

In making this statement, I am not “blowing for Speer;” it is true and the issues <if November will show it. I could gire many cases of this character. ! But yesterday a mechanic in our town said—and he is a J. P., and a j man of sense: “I have been a zealous speer man, but shall vote for Candler. : I have worked with Candler and know | him. He is the workingman’s friend ! and I would vote for him against the I world.” Another, a former and n, man of brains and influence and a soldier, said to me and others to-day: —I vot ed tor Speer in the last two races; I will now vote for the one eyed soldier against that Ban box fellow.” , These are but samples of changes all I over the county, and from all parts ef A HUNDRED HUSBANDS POISONED. .About wt * r ” at work blasting out a foundation for an extension of the i ‘’’clock last evening, as I bam is were at work hl.-i-timr F mm LV tow Urn Stumbir*!.

Tht^news of terrible catastrophe soon spread over the city, and hundreds ot our citizens rushed to the scene. The deceased had been laid out upot^his work-bench, his head deluged in blood. There were two other work men in the room at the time, who in stantly rushed to Mr. Bain's assist ance, but he was dead before they could reach him. Mr. Biiin was a noble, true-hearted gentleman, respected and admired by all who knew him. He was a faithful workman, and one of the most valued employ-ies in the foundry.

Emory tipeer, by way of justi fication of his endorsement of Madi son Davis as postmaster at Athens, states in his speeches that Gov. Col quitt endorsed Pledger for the same position. In answer to this charge, Gov. Colquitt has authorized and re quested the Ban ner-Watchman to state that such a statement on the part of Mr. Speer, or any one else, is un qualifiedly false; that he never en dorsed Pledger for the postmasterahip at Athens, or any other position. We are authorized further to state that the petition whieh Mr. Hpeer claims as numerously signed as an endorsement of Pledger by citizens of Athens, is also misrepresented by Mr. Speer. The petition, when read, wUl he found to state only this, and no more, to-wit: That said citizens un qualifiedly and uncompromisingly endorse Dr. Orr and desire bis reten tion in office, but that if a Republican sad a colored Republican is to- be forced on the people of Athens, Pled ger would be acceptable as ar.y.

For, owing to the position of the ecliptic in retard to the equator at this season, the moon rises for several consecutive nights with only a comparatively small interval between the success ive risings. The short autumnal days seeiu thus to be prolonged by the floods of silvery moonlight that make the night beautiful as day. The phe nomenon is easily explained as the axial rotation of the earth. Bat In the olden times, when man was near er to nature, the harvest moon was considered a direct Interposition of providence to assist the husbandman in gathering in the harvest.
