The coming elections, in tins State, are the most momentous, probably, of any in its history. They form a crisis in its affairs. There is so much de pending on the resuls affecting the most vital interests of every citizen, that it behooves every man, woman and child to be on the alert, bending all their energies for one vast effort to break and cast off the shackles which corruption has fastened upon them Any failure now to me t courageously and determinately this issue, is noth ing less than a quiet folding of the hands that the irons already upon them may be rivited tighter, and a tacit acceptance of insults and injuries for the future, before which those of the past are insignificant. This is no time to be deluded by false hopes. No time to rest in ease and say that we are strong enough; our cause is just; it must prevail; we have never been strong enough—but simplv because we have not been uni ted Our cause is, and has always been just, but we know only too well that it has not prevailed. We have noted heretofore as some armies have been known to fight, by detachments, there could be but one result to such engagements, and that result has uni formly been ours —defeat. Let these defeats, which have been so sore to us, teach us the truth of a sublime saying: (, In Union (here is Strength.” * It is no child’s play, this impending struggle. It is nothing less, on the part of the parties now in power, than anew and desperate raid upon the liberty of a free and noble people. It has for its object the continued abro gation of the rights beret )fore held sacred by the rulers of the State; it is the prolongation of the present reign of terror; it is an extension of existing frauds; it is such a future accumula tion of wasteful expenditures as shall deal a death blow to the little credit J left the State; it is such a vital stab at the resources of the State, and at the property and interests of its citizens that, unless averted, a universal paral ysis shall fall upon every department of human industry, and the desolation which always follows in the wake of usurping power shall stalk, in all its haggardness, through our land. Citizens of Georgia, do you doubt that this is the well matured plan and purpose of the Radical party to-day ? If 3*oll do, what mean the extension of the election, and the three days voting ? Where the justice or necessity of ei ther ? Every law-honoring and law abiding citizen was content that the accustomed usages of the State could be made as well in one day as in three for honest men. But the change was not made for honest men—nor was it made for honest purposes. It will suit doable voting better. Voting twice at the same poles has become rather haz ardous. But Gov. Bullock, through his sattelites may vote a crowd of ig norant negroes at Atlanta to-day, at Marietta the next clay, and at Carters ville the day after. We can find no other solution to the three days voting. Jf it be practicable, we have no reason to believe that the Radical party will fail to take advantage of it The idea to us is not only plausible but patent. Tut a proper vigilance will defeat them here. Every man must know every vo ter in his oic» precinct . Citizeus of Georgia, work, work, work, day and night, as you never work ed before, from now until the contest comes, that you tn ay plant your standard of victory by the side of that of Tenn essee, of Missouri, and of Alabama.— Let the valleys of the old State look up to the mountains, and call upon their hardy brothers to come down from their rocky heights in all of their olden strength and patriotism for the contest, then, indeed, may we in the righteousness of our c mse look hope fully and with certainty for victory. ftapTiartow Superior Court ad journed term—is now in session. Cash Value of a Laboring Man. Under this caption the Portsmouth, N. H., Ch ronicle has the following per tinent and sensible article; It is remarked by persons who do not possess any property, and who depend upon daily labor for the support of themselves and families, that they are “worth nothing,” financially speaking* This language is generally indulged in by men in the community who style themselves as business men. Let us examine the question financially 7 and see if the assertions are correct. Last year the price cf common la bor averaged $1 50 per day. Admit ting that the laborer received $1 50 per day, and it required the whole of that sum to support his f mily, neverthe less, we contend that the laborer was worth in cash to his family the sum of $7,980. The amount he would receive for one* year’s labor, at $1 50 per day would be $475 90, which amount would be the interest at six per cent, on $7,- 980, which latter sum would be the cash value of the laboring man to his family. The cash value of the laboring man to the community is much more than the above-named sum, as labor is the only true wealth to any country. W th out labor, our forges, furnaces, woolen mills, and, indeed, manufactories of all kinds, cease to be. The music of the loom and shuttle would be silenced for ever. Our national and other banks would close their doors, and our most enterprising merchants take in their sinus. Without labor civilizatiou re cedes, and the bat and owl would soon occupy the crimson chambers of our would-be business men. Let the laboring men of the United States realize their true position. Let them reflect that labor is honorable; that labor is wealth. Let them re member that they are a power in the State; that to them this great Govern ment is indebted for all it possesses of liberty, glory, grandeur. Let them reflect that labor is honor able; but let those who look down on the humble laborer and mechanic, re flect one moment before they speak in terms of dispargement of the “hewers of wood aid drawers of w T ater.” The custom is prevalent in the community of making remarks in a sneering man ner of the great industrial class of our people, leading youths among us to think that honest industry is not honorable, be it what it may. That time has passed. Honest, industrious mechanics and laborers are the wealth of States, and until they are encouraged and fostered, our people cannot be prosperous. It is not the cash value alone by which he enriches the place of his residence, but he adds by his labor to its materi al wealth. No country or nation that commands the respect of the world has gained that respect except through the skill of her mechanical population. Then let all classes, more especially the rich, respect and inculcate their children with the true theory of life, that labor is honorable, and if, in after life, misfortune should overtake them, willing hands will be ready to earn their support. Daltoa, Ga., November 22, 1870. The Superior Court is in session; and terrible weather are we having. A large attendance of lawyers, witness es, jurors and litigants is on hand. The important matter is the relief law, which Judge Parrott has pronounced constitutional. Judge Twiggs and Judge Harrall have also pronounced it constitutional, while Judge Hopkins and some other Judge have pronounc ed it unconstitutional. The matter will go up to the Supremo Court. — Allcui ta Constitution. The Big Fight. —The Herald makes an estimate of how many men will be engaged in the fight that Rus sia wants to get up. England cant, do much in the way of men. Her quo ta will stop short of 150,000. But she has money, arms, war material, and fif ty iron-clad ships, besides her wooden vessels. Austria can give 500,009 good soldiers. Italy could furnish 350,000, of which one half woul.i be i aw recruits. Turkey has 390,000 soldiers to oppose to Russia. She has also a good navy. Add France's 050,000, and the grand total sums up 1,550,000 fighting on one side. The Herald limits Russia to GOO,OO0 j though she has on paper a million and a half. Add Prussia’s 800,000 soldiers on the other side. Imprisoned for Life.— E. M. Yerger, who killed the Yankey Colonel, Crane, in Jackson, Mississippi, List year, had a second trial a few days since. As the jury were negroes, and the Judge a Radical, of course he was found guilty. His sentence is imprisonment for life. "What the Democrats t t ave Gained. —The gains of the Democrats in the late elections will give them, at least ? ! 110 members in the 42d Congress, and > destroy the obnoxious practice of the present House, by which the Republic cans, by a two-thirds vote, have been i able to suspend the rules and pass meas. ! ures by the same vote, without aPow | ing debate. The military election bilb which has figured so prominently, was passed by the House in that way, in defiance of the protest of the minority.. There will be, at least’ no such exhibi tions of indecent haste in legislation in the next Congress. It is claimed at Washington by well informed parties’ that the result of the elections will in sure a conservative organization of the next House, by which the Speaker, Clerk, and the chairmanship of the leading committees, can bo secured. - This, it is said, can be brought about by a coalition with the revenue reform ers in the Republican party elected in the West.— Macon Telegraph. .Bismarck not a Radical after all. — The New York World has exhumed a dispatch from the American Minister at Berlin, dated July 30th, IBG4, which shows that Count Bismarck and his par ty were not so entirely on the side of the Federals in the late war as the North ern Radical press represents them to have been. The dispatch, written at the time when the character of the struggle between the North and South must have been well und. rstood in Germany, says: “Late events at home have given oc” casion to Herr von Bismarck’s semi-of ficial organ, the Nord Deutsche Zllge meinc Zeitung, to display great sympa thy and partiality for the rebel cause; and, in its zealous wishes for the down fall of republican government and the further establishment of monarchical institutions on the American, continent, it iudulges in the grossest misrepresen tations regarding our armies and fi nances. I have so far refrained from making any reclamation at the Minis try of Foreign Affairs against its infa mous and slanderous course, but I deem it my duty to take notice of and communicate the facts to you. The re lations of the journals in question to Herr von Bismarck are such that I feel quite justified in believing that in these aspersions to our cause it reflects his sentiments. Berlin, November 25. —The Federal Pailiarnent asked to vote 100,000,000 thalers for the prosecution of the war to the end. Auziegn says unless signs fail it will end this year. WASIILXGTOM. Washington, Nov. 25.—The Row hat tan is ordered to be repaired immedi ately. The Star says advices to the Repub licans from Georgia are very confident in their tone, and claim the Legisla ture and all but one Congressman in the delegations of the Forty First Con gees . A Mm derer Elected. A few days pre\ious to the election in Florida, a negro candidate of the Radical party for the Legislature in Madison county, Oliver Coleman by name, committed a cold blooded mur der upon one of the most respected and worth} 7 young v. Lite men of the coun ty, and without the sh clow of cause or justification. He was arrested and; placed m jail, but his negro, friends continued to run him for the office and having the numerical strength, elected him by a large majority. Com ment in a case like this is wholly un necessary. We would only ask the more sensible of the Radicals tlieiu sehe , how long the Government can be successfully wielded by such an ele ment os that which elevatedftfiijjß bru tal murderer to the high positiod of a Legislator ? Distruotive Fire. —On the 17th, the dwelling house of Mr. Phillip Ketterer of Homesville, Ga., was burned down; also his cow-house, stables, storehouse and every building on his premises.— It also burned the Masonic Hall, and all its furniture. The dwelling was set oil fire during the night, while he and his family were in bed, and he saveh nothing but a little clothing and bedding. A Probable Murder. From the Savannah Republican w r e learn that a negro entered the house of Mrs. Ellen Snell, formerly Mrs. Mc- Bride, near Thunderbolt, about mid night on Monday night last, and beat her so severely that her life is di spa red of The object was robberry. The scoundrel has net yet been arrested.— He gained admittance on the plea of procuring some medicine for a sick friend.

It is said that a whole island of Silver has been disecverd, and i» now being mined, not far from the north shore of Lake Superior.

Cobbs, guarded by an Arkansas sheriff, and traveling under a passport given Senter at the request of Clay ton, passed through the city on Friday, on a pleasure trip, to cut stone in the plenipotentiary business at Little Rock. Here's a Good One.—A handsome bach, clerk in one of our most popu lar dry goods stores is smitten with a fair resident of a neighboring city.— The father of the young lady came to Atlanta recently nd registered at the hotel where our bachelor friend boards. As soon as this discovery was made, the old gentleman was looked up and made the recipient of earnest attention, (such as all of us have and are dispos ed to pay the parents of the “hoped for,”) to ingratiate himself into bis pa rental favor. Just before going up to dinner the old gentleman wanted information of the young one, where he could get a drink of good “peach and honey.” “Well, I don’t know myself, but I’ve heard that at bar-rooms good liquors are kept,” was the mocent reply. The old gentleman asked the young one to show him the way. “Certainly. Though I don’t drink myself,” replied the “teetotaller.” Arrived at the bar the wants of the old gentleman were made known.— v\ hen the bar-tender turning to the young iiian coolly remarked, “I sup pose you will take gin and sugar as usual Mr. He “had orteu’, winked sooner. — At lanta Constitution. Little Delaware Covers Herself with Glory.— The regular Democratic majority in Delaware before the ne groes there weie made voters, was about 3,UbO. As there were nearly that number of loil blacks added to lhe white Radical vote, the latter thought they would have a dead sure thing of it at the late election, but the official result tells a very diilerent sto ry. The figures stand as follows: — Ponder, Democrat, for Governor, has 2,479 majority, and Biggs, Democrat, for Congress, 2,434 majority. It will take another constitutional amendment to turn Delaware over to the Jacobins Tel. & Mens. $3 WATCH ! $3 WATCH ! THE GREAT EUROPEAN Eureka Aluminum Gold Watch Cos. HAVE APPOINTED L.
