St Did Not Walt Until the Trip Waa Over Gen. Gordon has, according to the pro- jrauuue, announced himself a candidate fir Governor. It wasa little unexpected, o. it was supposed that he would wait tr.til lie had finished his trip with lion, etferson Davis and get back to Atlanta. The people are not surprised at this an ti unccmeiit, as it has been looked for. In the special to the Constitution the fo owing appears: Savannah, Ga., May 6.—It appears to t* settled beyond doubt that General John It. Gordon will be a candidate for governor before the democratic conven tion. He said to a friend to-day in the Screven house; “The pressure from all parts of the state urging me to run is so ctext that I do not tee how 1 can resist it. ami In sides some things have been Mill since my resignation and some un warrantable flings made about my invi tation to participate in the memorial ex ercises at Montgomery, that cause me to feel »ery little like resisting what appears to be a popular desire. 1 am anxious to meet my people face to face. 1 have nev er dishonored them, and they have never failed to honor me.” This conversation was repeated to your correspondent to-dey. He sought Gen eral Gordon, and it was confirmed from his own lips. The General further said: "1 will announce my name as a candi date for the democratic nomination for governor, and give the reasons that move me to this course when I return to my home in DeKa b.” “In the meantime,” he added, “if you want to print the news you may aay that I will be a candidate before the democratic convention if I live, and I in tend to meet my people face to face ofi-n as 1 can get to thorn and whenever I can get to them.” The Democrats of Clarks Count; lead Dele- ***** to the Gubernatorial Convention. _ A good number of the representative citixens of Clarke county met at the ope ra house yesterday to nominate delegates to the gubernatorial convention. Judge 8. M. Herrington was chosen as chair man and \Y. L. Wood secretary. Senator l’ope Barrow was requested to state the object of the meeting. Senator Barrow said that the meeting was called to select delegate to nominate a governor and state house officers, and moved to appoint a committee of five to aelect delegates, and that the committee report back their names to the convention for ratification. The chairman appointed Messrs. Pope Barrow, G. D. Thomas, H. Bcusse, A. h. Hull and T. W. Rucker. The committee retired to name the delegates. While the committee were out, Col. S. C. Dobbs moved that Judge A. L. Mitchell and Hon. R. B. Russell address the meeting. Judge Mitchell made but a few remarks, and it did not take a short hand reporter to report it. Hon. R. B. Russell also made but few remarks The committee then returned and reported the following del- gates: T L Gantt, D C Oliver, A J Cobb, J H Rucker, W B Thomas, Charles Stern, T X Lester, S M Herrington, A L Mit chell, W L Wood, A Coleman, C G Tal- madge, M B McGinty, J R White. Mr. A I. Hull moved that Messrs Pope Bar- row, O D Thomas and 11 Beusse be added. The motion was adopted. Solicitor General Brown moved that At D O'Farrell, E H Dorsey and W B Burnett be added to the listof delegates. The motion was adopted. James O’FaiTell moved that E T Brown, R li Russell and G H Vaneev be added. Adopted. Before the motion was put to ratify the action of the committee, Mr. Russell moved to postpone the meetingindefinite- ly and supported his motion in a short speech. Mr. Barrows arose to a point of order, that the only question to be voted on was the report of the committee. The point was sustained by the chairman. Mr. Heard moved to lay the report of the committee on the table, which mo tion was voted down. The vote was then taken on the motion of Mr. Russell to postpone indefinitely, and on the call for a division, the motion to postpone was lost. After a great deal of discussion in regard to instructing the delegates, the meeting adjourned with out giving instructions. All In the Line of Mature.

A PATENT BASE BALL CLUB. The foundry and factory boys have or ganized abase ball club that will revo lutionize the manner of catching and pitching. The pitcher has a stick stuck up in the ground at his place. The ball is put on this stick, and by touching a little spring it is sent with lightning rap idity to the liatman. The consequence is that the ball is never hit by the bat man, white the catcher behind has also a patent clamper within his hands, ami never misses a ball. They have a pro fessional pitcher, Mr. Snber Dixie, and in about two weeks will take the field against the world. It is said by expert base hallists to be a great improvement in the game.

A large number of the citizens of Wal ton county, near High Shoals, have been trying to get a post office. The petition was sent up first with s large number of petitions, and asked that the office lie named Goldenville. This name was ob jected to by the post-office department, and the name of Charleston was then sent. This, too, was objected to. Then the names’of Hugh, Bonner. Etna, Yancey and Sock were sent to the department, and all were thrown out, and now the petitioners have exhausted all the names they can think of and are still without a post-office. They propose to offer a pre mium to some one to suggest a name ac ceptable to the powers that be. A FRIEND'S ADVICE.

They are in a wretched fix, and we want to see them worked .by a regular force of hands under a civil en gineer, who knows bow to avoid hills and lay off grades. office, and after a rambling discussion of some little time the conversation turned on war times, and by a series of ques tions, our host unlimbered himself as follows: *** “You ask if a man is afraid on entering battle? Of course it is a very serious mat ter, and eTen the bravest soldier, until the excitement of the conflict makes him forget his danger, feels and appreciates the risk he is about to enter. But after a man receives the first volley, and he es capes unharmed, he argues that it is not so bad as he thought, and as the firing increases he becomes recklessly cour ageous, and gives not a thought to his danger. It is very trying on a soldier, however, to be exposed to fire and not allowed to return it He has then noth ing to do but think over his situation, and it requires a steady nerve to un flinchingly face the leaden rain. *** “There is no sensation more inspiring than preparation for battle. The move ments of the troops, the neighing of the horses—rattling, of artillery—wav ing standards—the music—the guns of the pickets—all serve to bring into play the grandest emotions of the heart. I have often thought, ‘Perhaps this will be my last battle;” but 1 always have so much to do arranging my men and guns that 1 soon forget all danger. When once engaged in the fight, of course there is no time for any thought except the work before you. V “Bomb ague” is a well-known ailment in the army, and some of the bravest sol diers had it at their first battle. I knew one man that had to he tied on his horse to make him face bullets, but after re ceiving the first fire and getting a slight wound, there was not a more valliant soldier in the service. But there are men, natural cowards, and they never could be cured. They just cannot help it V “The most recklessly brave man I ever knew was Motes, the Atlanta photog rapher. He knew not the meaning of the word fear, and it seems a mystery that he was not killed a thousand times. I remember at Dam No. 1 we had one of the hottest fights 1 ever saw, and ray bat tery had received charge after charge from the Yankees, until the dead were piled in great heaps before us. The en emy came right up to the guns, and we fought them hand to hand. 1 killed sixteen at one fire by turning a gun down the trench that was filled with the Y' ankees. *»* “During a lull in the fighting. Motes and I. were sitting behind the battery, surrounded by the dead and dying, sop- ping'some bacon grease out of a frying pan being nearly starved and having cooked our meal on the spot. The battery was supported hy a regiment of infantry, and just as we were in the middle of our ineal the Federals made another charge, came over the guns, a.id the regiment supporting us lied in confusion. Motes’ sword had been shot in two, but with out a moment's hesitation he seized the frying-pan, waved it aloft, and with it rallied the retreating men, brought them back and recaptured the guns. He was saturated with the bacon grease during the fight and presented a most comical figure. •*• Motes seemed to hear a charmed life, and boasted that the Yankee bullet had not been moulded to touch his skin. At the battle of Sharpsburg, one of the hot test fights of the war, Motes came to me, his arm dangling hy his side and covered with blood, and exclaimed, ‘Captain Carlton! what do you think? The infer nal scoundrels have shot me!’ I order ed him to the rear, but it seems he did not go, but continued at his post In a few minutes 1 heard, ‘CapL Carlton! what do you think? Them infernal Yan kees have shot me again? 1 This time Motes was badly wounded in the hip, and I had him taken to the rear on e caison; but I afterwards found the brave fellow stretched out on the ground, as pale as death and covered with blood, waving his hand and hurrahing for the Confederates. *.* Frank Pop*, of Oglethorpe county, wae another of the bravest men in our army, and he was as*cool and deliberate in the heat of battle as you see him on the street- At one fight, when the Y’an- kees charged his guns and a hand-to- hand conflict ensued in the trenches, CapL Pope tried to borrow a musket, but failing to get ones seixed A hand-spike that was lying near, and with it brained two or three of the enemy. He was as modest and retiring in manner ms he was brave in battle. *.* Often during the heat of battle, when blood was flowing like water and the passions of men wrought up to the high est pitch of excitement, some amusing incident would occur, and I have often stopped amid a hail of lead and iron to almost convulae my aides with laughter at a ridiculous met or comical aight of some soldier. that chivalrous enemy I would not to day be talking to yon.” AN APPEAL TO THE WOMEN OCONEE OF We, a committee appointed by the Watkinaville Woman's Temperance C nion, most earnestly beg each and ev ery one of you to do all in your power to influence your husbands, brothers, sons, friends and neighbors to vote for prohi bition.

Oox Congreaaman Answers a Complaining Constituent. The last issue ft' the Greensboro Home Journal contains a column editorial and a leoghthy exposure of Mr. Keese, denourcatory of our Congressman lor refusing to file the petition of Mr. Furlow lor postmas ter at Madi-on, Ga , from which we extract the following: A-Si-onas It. was definitely known that Mr. Cleveland was elected Piesiiient, Mr. E. A. Furlow pre sented a petition to be appointed postmaster at Mnilisou; Ga. Mr. Furlow ii represented by our coirea- ponde nee to have been a Democjat all his lile, to be peculiarly fitted hy past experience for the postmarter- ship, and he was indorsed for relec- tiou by a large proportion of the Democrats of Morgan county. “Knowing that Mr Reese had assur ed several prominent gentlemen of Madison that a certain other appli cant would not receive hit support,” Mr. Furlow inclosed his petition to Mr. Reese, requesting him to pres ent it. No answer was received to this request. On learning that Mr. Blackburn had been nominated for the position, Mr. Furlow com municated with the Postoffice De partment, with the following result, his [Mr. Furlow’s]!etter being dated more than oneyear after his applica tion had been placed in the custody of Congressman Reese: Post Office Department, ffice First Assistant P.

On receipt of the above extraor dinary response from the Post Office Department, Mr. Furlow renewed his application direct to President Cleveland. The petition was sup plemented hy another from the citi zens of Morgan county. Meanwhile the applicant [Mr. Furlow] wrote to Congressman Reese requesting that bis applica tion be returned to him, This was not done, nor was any notice taken of the request. Failing in all efforts to obtain the attention of a public servant who in his official capacity was being ad dressed in the name of a majority ol his paity on a matter vital to the local concerns of a community in the Congressional district which he was supposed to “represent,” the Chairman of the Democratic Execu tive Committee of Morgan county wrote to Congre6smrn Reese for some explanation ol these unparal leled circunstances. Here is the reply of that official who is presum ed to been elected to serve the con stituency ef an American Congres- gressional district and it was ad dressed to a citizen on whom it de volved to question the said Can gressman on a subject of public im port. And this was the very first response which had been vouebstf- ed by the “representative” germane to the specific matter on which he had been written to at di- iverse times and, dates as we have seen.

I said ’so,’ and she ‘soed.’ Then I told her to ‘histe,’ and she ‘histed.’ But I thought she overdid it. She put too much expression in it “Just then I heard something crash through the window ot the barn and fall with a doll, sickening thud on the outside. The neigh bors came to see what it was that caused ail the noise. They found I had done it in getting through the window. I asked the neighbors if the barn was still standing. They said it was. Then I asked if the cow was injured much. They said she seem ed to be quite robust Then I re quested them to go in and calm the cow a little, and to see if they could get my plug hat off her horns. ,“1 am buying all my milk now of a milkman.

Dear Banner-Watchman :—I am not much of an alarmist, but as I said in a former article I see more trouble ahead than has fallen to our lot since 1861, but it will not do to cower under it We must meet it like men in a firm, law-abiding and conservative spirit, and see that justice shall be meted out to all, and the laws enforced with moderation. The re cent riots in Chicago is clear proof to my mind that wc shall have to change our policy in regard to the importation of the dregs of society from Europe and Asia. $t’e have plenty of the African race, and ticy are infinitely superior in every qnality that constitutes good citizens to the scum of Europe that has been turned in eti us since the war closed. We find the mob that made such incendiary de monstrations on the 3rd and 4th inst, composed of Danes, Poles, Bohemians, Irish and Germans. No doubt they are Endorses Cleveland. Frederick Douglass, who lectur ed here during the week on his “Re collections of Slavery,” said, among other things, that he did not ap prove of emigration tor his race. The negro could never go anv place where he could not find white people. He thinks, by the way, that President Cleveland is a very brave man. Said he recently in a letter to a friend: “While in office the President treated me as he treated other office-holders in the District. He was brave enough to invite Mrs. Douglass and myself to his receptions, thus rebuking the timidity—I will not say cowaidice or prejudice—of his predecessor. Whatever else Mr. Cleveland may be, he is not a snob and he is not a coward.” Douglass further said that he was a republican, and would do all he could to elect a republi can president in iSSS, but he hon ored manliness wherever he found it, and he found it in the present oc cupant ot the White House.—Ran dall’s Washington Letter. THE SCHOOL-BOYS’ DEMAND. Minneapolis Urchins Present a Petition to Tbeir TeacHer. When the teacher iu room No. 7 oi Primrose school surveyed the pupils beiore her, at 9 oclock last Monday morning, she was surprised to find that the 24 hoys who were wont to show up with shiny faces in their acustomeil seats, there were but two present. One was a lame lioy, who came under care of a big sister iu the principals room, and the other the good hoy of the school. Looking into the school-yard she found it empty, and upon inquiry could learn nothing ot the missing scholars, except they had not been seen that morn ing in * the neighborhood Greatly wondering at the singnlar disappearance of her boys, and re solving to ascertain the cause at noon, the teacher marshaled her de pleted Hock as best she could, and the lessons for the day were begun in due form, though with considera ble conjecture from both the teacher and the pupils present as to the whereabouts of the missing youths. At 10 o’clock a faint knock was heard at the school-room door, and upon opening it the teacher recog nized one of her schollars in the person of Mr. Jack Featherhead, aged ten, who, although a trifle pale, yet was bravely decorated with a large rosette the left lappel on his coat and a long feather (evidently taken trom a duster) streaming Iroin his hat band. Mr. Featherhead made no remarks,|but strode with great dig nity into the school-room and with a bow presented a folded document showing on its exterior a number of diminutive finger marks,and further distinguished by a band of bright blue ribbon which went entirely around the document, being held in place by large in egular blotches of sealing wax of the kind generally used in canning tomatoes. Upon breaking the seal the Id- lowing document was disclosed to the astonished eyes of the school mistress; 9x9 - Si 4—« = 3 General Assembly- No. 1. Nites of Labort April 12, 1SS6.

Now I do not believe in despotic oppres sion. I believe in men who are able to govern themselves, and if they will not do it and obey the constitution and laws of the United States, then I am one of those who are willing to try to enforce the laws, as well as obey them. I thought the SL Louis affair was bs$ esuugh, but the last Chicago riot heats all. Now, I do net believe this deviltry originates with our native citizens, but with the foreign “thugs” who have been shipped here to get rid of them. If our govern ment don’t draw her reigns a little tighter, an absolute despotism will be inevitable very soon to protect the lives ef our nativeB. I am not scared, but I think it is the duty of our govern ment to protect its citizens securely in the peaceable possession of life, liberty and property, otherwise it is not per forming its entire doty. The reason we get along here without those riots is, that our population is composed of Ameri cans almost entirely, and while we have a few “thugs,” the masses are law-abid ing, hence give no trouble. They shake things up a little, but not more than is necessary to produce a normal condition- Mr. Beecher says “stagnation is death, and agitation is healthy.” A little mov ing of the waters may be well enough, but I am opposed to all such movements as those which have been going on in the Southwest of late. I hope it may all end well, but at present the whole thing looks dark. Very truly youra, Peter Culp.

Among the pleasant incidents connected with the visit of Mr. Davis to the Drill grounds yester day afternoon was the introduction to him by Mr. Cromer, Mr. Jeffer son Davis Stewart, of Covington, Georgia. Mr. Stewart handed the ::-President the following letter; Richmond, Va., July 21,1863. Mr. J. L. Stewart, Conyers, Ga: My Dear Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 20tli ult, informing me of the birth of a son in your old age, and of the fact that you have given him my name. Please accept assurances of my sense of the compliments you have made me, and of my hopes for a bright and happy future for the little boy, who will, 1 trust do honor to his parents and his country. With the best wishes for you and your family, I am respectfully and truly your fellow citizen, Jefferson Davis. When Mr. Davis read the letter his coutenance lighted up and he said, “Is that you, Jeff?” and grasped the young man heartily by the hand and enjoyed a pleasant conversation with him. Mr. Stewart came all the way to Savannah to see Mr. Davis and to show him the letter. CLUVERIUS TO HANG. The Virginia Supreme Court Affirms the Judgment. Richmond, Va., May 6.—The supreme court of Virginia to-day rendered a decision in the case of T. J. Cluverius, convicted in the hustings court ot this city of the murder on March 13th, 1SS5, of Minnie Lillian Madison. The case is notoriously known as the reser voir mutder mystery. The judg ment of the lower court was fully sustained—eight bills of exception, filed by prisoner's counsel, being elaborately discussed and succes sively overruled. The opinion was delivered by Judge Fauntleroy, the court stand ing four to one in favor of sustain ing the judgment ot the lower court, fudge Hinton dissented, being in iavor of a new trial. Clu verius will surely hang unless ex ecutive clemency interposes. The first time fixed for his execution having lonir since passed by, he will have to be brought before the hustings court for re sentence. A Pipe Line for Beer. The latest enterprise that Jersey City has on hand is called the “Pipe Line Beer Distributing Atsocia- tion.” The company, which has issued $3000,000 worth of stock, intends to place pipes in every street in the city, and supply the beer shops with their staple article of trade. Meters, similar to water meters, will be provided tor each consumer, and the amount ol beer used will be measured by these in- struments. It is claimed that this manner of distributing will do away with all the trucking, etc., and that there will be no danger of any dealer getting out of the beverage. —N. Y. Star.
