The List will be continned un til completed, Special Correspondence of the Cartersville Ex press. Fifteenth Amendment Riot. Fruits of Radicalism. Selma, Ala., Now 10, 1870. Mr. Editor: On last Saturday this city was .tho iheater of one of those scene, which always follows in tlie wake of a disregard of the civjj laws, and are the natural results of ignorant, deprav ed and reckless political administra tions. A white man and a negro, both mechanics, had a disagreement. The former, after avoiding as far as he could a disturbance, told the latter who persisted in following him and us ing abusive epithets, that unless he ceased it, he would shoot him. The negro then w ent off. After a while he returned and commenced his abuse again, when the white man shot him dead. The marshal arrested him, he making no attempt at escape. Though in the hands of the lav/, and for an act forced upon him, the negroes of this place in heavy force assembled at the mayor’s office and took him from the officers, dragging him by the heels out of the office, into the street, beating and stamping him until life was nearly extinct. At this stage of the proceed ings General E. W. Pettus came up w'itli a body of citizens and rescured the man from the demons, and but fer the coolness, judgement, and vast in fluence of the General, there would have been such a vengeance taken on that crowd of savages as would have made the last one in the whole broad land call for the rocks and hills to cover them. The Times, newspaper of this city, in commenting on this affair truly said that for any future outrage of this na ture even the great influence of Gen. Pettus would be powerless to avert the wrath of this people. For years scenes similar to this have been enacted in other sections of our country, but our people have withheld their hands through a sublime reverence for the laws, even while they knew those laws militated against their most cherished interests, and were framed by a set of men whose every thought and action was a continued violation of them. This affair, however, has struck them and their deludedtools with terror. It has recoiled in the shape of an outraged popular indignation, which has set a limit to their action for the future, be yond which, if they ever dare go, there will follow for them a retribution as fa tal and terrible as the eruption of Ve suvius. It had the effect at least of one thing, and that was to make tlie election here, on yesterday, the quietest one we have had yet, but it did not stop the fraudulent proceedings of the Radical party. Large numbers of illegal votes were polled in the persons of negro mi nors. These, however, will be present ed to the Grand jury, and receive at that tribunal, we hope, a reward justly merited by their perjury. As soon as returns come in full enough to clearly indicate the result, will let you know. The present belief, in well posted quarters, is that the State has gone largely Democratic. I Evety decent man in the State says amen to that. The fair of the Alabama Central Agricultural and Mechanical Association commenced to-day. Will send you notes in a few days. Bartow. Tlie Fleet ions. Our telegraphic reports of this morning were culpably deficient in news of the elec tions. From other sources we glean that the Dem ocratic cause has made good gains. New York gains three Congressmen. Ne vada elects a Democratic Governor—Bradley. N w Jersey is not as bad as first reported Forker and Bird, Democrats, are el cted to Congress in the 2nd and 3d districts. In Minnesota, the Radical majorities are reduc ed several thousand. In Arkansas we have heavy Democratic gains. In Wisconsin, the Radical majorities are reduced. Illinois shows Democratic gains, much through Rad ical dissensions. -Gained 3 in New York, 1 in Wisconsin, 2 in Arkansas, 5 and may be 0 in Tennessee, 2 in Missouri, 2 in Alabama. We may count upon at least a gain of 18. This added to tlie 12 gained in October, will | make 30 good Democratic reinforcements in Congress, changing the complexion of the House 60 votes. Such “sweeps ” as this the Radicals are Cordially welcome to. —Atlanta Const. |woo tf Advice. Mark Twain has this advice for young men with literary asperations: ‘‘Write without pay until somebody of fers pay, Jf nobody offers pay within three years, the candidate may look upon this circumstance with tlm most implicit confidence as the sign that sawing wood is what ho was intend ed for.” French successful in series en gagements near Orleans, the French is pressing towards the city. Prussians 1 have difficulty obtaining provisions. YEW FORK. New York, November 12.—-The Lon don special of the World says: “A spe cial dispatch of the World, from Tours has the following: The full details of the victory of Gen. Vandertann have not yet been received. The engage ment commenced both at the east and west of Orleans, on Wednesday, 9th inst., and was continued until the eve ning of Thursday. During Thursday, the French drove the Prussians from Orleans, inflicting severe loss on them, and are now in occupation of the city, Gen, Vandertann, with ahe remnant of the army, is now retreating on the road leading from Orleans to Pithlviers, after vainly attempting to force his way through Chateau Neuf and Mon-* targio, where he hoped to join the ar my of Prince Frederick Charles. Gen. D’Aurelles will march directly and as sail the German lines between Versail les and St Germain, while Gen. Tro chu, with 150,000 men, makes a sortie out to cut his way out and raise the siege. Communications between Gen erals D’Aureiles child Trochu, and the Government at 'Fours, is constantly maintained by pigeons.” FOREIGN. Tours, November 12.—Over 1,700 Prussian prisoners, captured at and near Orleans, passed through the city to-day on their way to south France. There was great excitement among the people, and it was with much difficul ty that a riot was prevented. Hun dreds of people along the line of march recognized among the prisoners those who so outraged them at Chateau Dun aud other places. The prisoners hoo ted, but by the efforts of a greater part of the crowd, violence was liapily pre vented. Cheering reports are still received from the army of Loire. Rumors of a great advantage gained yesterday. Gen. Vandertanu’s army, notwith standing that it has been reinforced by an entire army from Chartres, in full retreat. Gambetta has gone to Orleans. Versailles, via Berlin and London, November 11.—Gen. Vandertann re ports to headquarters here to-night that there has been no further advance of tlie enemy in his front. Berlin, November 12.—The official report of the capture of Verdun was published to-day. Two Generals, elev en staff officers and one hundred and fifty officers were captured, besides 136 guns. 23,000 rifles and a large and mount of stores and ammunition fell into the hands of the Prussians. London, November 12. The news of the bombardment of Hamburg is hourly expected. The battle of Orleans was very' seri ous. The French line extended from Vendome to Blangency. Two Italiail vessels have gone to Marseilles to pro tect the Italian citizens. In Tennessee General Brown is elected Govenor by 40,000 majority.
