■gl. Strange things sometimes hap-
in fact they happen frequently, v-
One of the strangest things that has
transpired recently 1s the fact that
Swavze’a paper in Macon supports,
enthusiastically, the nomination of
Huff, the great corn man, for Mayor.
Huff was nominated by a citizens'
meeting, and seems to be generally
popular with the respectable people of
Mac >n, but if he can stand the unqual
ified endorsement of Swayzo, and live
through it, he is undoubtedly the great
est man of this, or any other age.
Overlooked — In its appropriate place
will be found a card, proposing the
name of T. J. Brooks, Esq., as a suita
ble candidate to represent us in the
Legislature- The card was sent in for
last parer, but got everlooked. If Mr.
Brooks should secure the nomination
we would take great pleasure in giving
him a cordial support, as wo believe
him to |)o a competent man, and pould
represent the county faithfully. There
are, (ft course several aspirant for the
place, but we presume all good men
will yield to the election of the county
c invention.
fur TUo little windy concern known

tempts to report Griffin meetings, make
some little nffort to wrife at the truth.
Pehaps, however, its Atlanta associates
are such as to enable it to dispense
outirely with that article. When in its
infancy, just emerged from the virtu

have some dim perceptions of the im

takes the agency of the Road at New

by Col. U. B. Wilkinson, a most worthy
and oompetent gentleman. The report
of tho President was quite encourag

ahead vigorously and the cars will soon

Tho mooting was very harmonious
and quite enthusiastic.

is tint the Star is a sort of apologist

If the Middle i to

its right; but we notify our co tempo

P* w i ttttwßT ooupn paper,
pooka befttife This is one of our
■som highly prized exchanges, and is
iwith marked ability. Its
proprietors are gentlemen in every
eense- otthe wonL Ita chkrf editor is
one of the yoongwar horses with whom
we rode during the war. Its chief
local—baring his dirty face and dilap
idated costume—is up to business.
The Savannah News, also, comes
out in new costume, enlarged a oohxmn
to Hie page, and shows signs of pros
perity. Its chief editor, although
badly tinctured with old fogyism, is one
the’best editors in the Statfe, and is
a merry and congenial old c—s.
The Chronicle and Sentinel has, al
so, cast its old skin, and appears bright
and tastety, with an extra column to
each page. If it could scare up a live
editor, it would be a great thing for
Augusta. We are glad to see these
improvements, and wish all the breth
ren the beet ol luck.
Personalities. —As the Atlanta Sun
seems to delight in personal flings at
us, we will remind her, him or it, that
after all our battles, we carry the signs
of our wounds, if any,.on that part of
our person which can be seen, and
not like the Sunist, on that part which
shall bo nameless.
HooANsmxE High School.—We call
public attention to the advertisement
of Prof. Looney. His reputation as a
teacher extends all over the South. He
excells in all tho branches, but as a
Mathematician we do not know his
equal in advancing pupils. As one of
the principals of the Griffin Male In
stitute, tho present year, he has won
additional honors, and he leaves here
greatly to the regret of the Board of
Trustees and all the patrons, who
P»rij|itly urged him to ritupfn. He
leaves solely on Account of the superi
or pecuniary inducements offered by
the citizens of Hogansville. He will
be assisted in Hogansville by Mr. C.
A. Koy, one of his former pupils, and
a graduate of the State University, a
young man of fine attainments; also
Mrs. C. D. Crawley, who has taught
the present year in the Young Ladle*
High School of Griffin, and given most
universal satisfaction. We know few
teachers equal to her, and none supe
rior., The well known Musician, Prof.
Schoeller, will have charge of the Mu
sical Department. Ik is needless to.
add that he stands at the head of his
profession.
Meeting of the Executive Committee of
Democratic and Conservative Party
A majority of tfcif Committee met
at the City Hall on Saturday last, ttfid
resolved upon a vigorous and active
campaign. It will be seen by a card
published elsewhere, that a Mass Con
vention is to be held on the 22d inst.,
for tlia purpose of making suitable
nominations. The Omntfiitte* resolv
ed to have the nominations made by
ballot, instead of the old plan through
a Committee raised for the purpose,
and that the majority rule should be
observed. Wo approvo of this plan,
and hopoit will meet with.general ap
probation. Let* W cqjpaq prepared to
east their ballots so that no time will
be lost. The mooting is to open at 10
o’clock, a. in., and close at3 p. m. |The
Chair-man of theExocntive Committee
will appoint three suitnblo managers of
the election, so there will be ho cheating
or fraud allowed.
Tho Committee discussed several
questions relative to election matters.
They decided to select several vigilant
men to be present, at the polls whoso
duty it should hq to notice,
closely, the voting and refers, with a
view of prosecuting all who vote ille
gally. It was also mode the duty of
tho Executive Committee, of each dis
trict, to furnqjh the Chairman
Committee with a (jpsreet liatt of the
legal Voters of thdtr reftfieetivte dls-
tricts, so that these lists may be ready
for inspection on election day. It was
also determined to hold frequent meet
tings of the Executive Committee,
from now until tho election, so that a
thorough understanding of matlers
and things may be had all over the
county. We ro-puhlish, herewith, the

London, November I.—Your corres

Versailles, October 28.—T0 tho
Prince Frederic Charles: I awaited
the news which was received last night,
of the completion of the capitulation
of Metz before sending you my hearti
est congratulation and acknowledg
ments for your circumspection and en
durance before victory, which yonr
command has shown daring the long
and tedious environment of Bazaine’s
army. The same acknowlegments are
due to the brave troops who, by their
intrepidity and privations they have
endured, have set an example without
a parallel; in history would the occur
rence before Metz constitute an nnper
perishable epoch of honor and glory
for our army. My thanks should at
once be convoyed to the troops. To
honor yon and your command for
sn6h signal service, I hnve appointed
you a General Field Marshal, a dis
tinction which I have also conferred
upon my son, tho Crown Prince.

Bazaine’s Address to Eis Soldiers.
Luxemburg, November 2.—The fol
lowing was the order issued by Mar
shal Baraine to his troops upon the
day of the capitulation:
Soldiers of France: We have been
conquered by famine, compelled by
our necessities to submit to the desti
ny of war, and constitute ourselves
prisoners. An attempt to break through
the enemy’s lineß would only result in
disaster and unavoidable loss ’of life".
Against these dire extremities it will
be useless to contend. Our only re
course is in yielding to the overwhelm
ing force of 4he enemy. Soldiers of
Franee, I repeat, comrades, I separate
from you with a broken heart.
[Signed] T. A. Bazaine.
The reader pursues the above sadly.
Compare it to Lee’s address to his frag
ment of an army surrendered to an
overwhelming force that surrounded it
starved and withoutammunition. How
infinitely it falls beneath that in heroism
and manhood.
Baznine gives up his sword without
dignity, and amid the very taint of
strongly probable treachery.
“Tho overwhelming force of tho en
emy !” Thus does this degenerate loa
der of a compact army of 173,000 or
ganized and arned soldiers, designate
the opposing army of 250,000 men.
Truly, it savors ot the ridiculous as
well as the shameless.
Piteous, indeed, is it to see a soldier
in his gray fame tarnish the record of
his life. Look at this monstrous act ns
we may, no man who has been in fight
ing service will ever be able to justify
it to himself. It contravenes every im
pulse of manhood, every sentiment of
courage, every breathing of patriotism,
every cannon of war. A people ani-
with n spirit so irresolute, so
yielding, so timid os this indicates, need
never expect to succeed in any war n
gainst any people.
Battle io bad, ’tie true. But there
are worse things than battle, and this
indefensible surrender must go into
history as worse than any battle. Tho
infiuenco of such an example on the
cause it degrades, cannot bo estimated
while the emascnltation of courage and
endurance that it shows is a fatal au
gury fqr its sneess

J#“A planter m Mercer oounty,
California, writes to Governor Downey
that lie has been growing cotton for
three years, and is satisfied that he can
raise a crop two cents cheaper than in
the Missippi bottoms. He gives an es
timate of tho expenses of cultivating
two hundred acres of land, whioh is in
teresting to us hero as showing the cost
of agricultural occupations. The items
are os follows : Wages of twelve bands
at $52 per month, $3,600; support of
hands $1,500; feed for team ssoogath
ering $500; ginning and baling $500;
blacksmithing SIOO. Making a total of
$6 ,700 for the expenses. The proceeds
areeompnted-nt 150 bales cotton, worth
S9O each, thus yielding $13,500, and 75
tons of cotton seed, worth sls per ton,
or sl,l2fi in tha aggregate. T lie net
Sroceeds will therefore amount to $7,

and other expenses, and that allowance
should be made for short crops and de l

But it is argued that, even if the profits
be reduced to sl3 an ace, the crop
would be more valuable than wheat.

fa- day. ««o, which molted io tb
killing of Col. Ames. This was one
of the best companies traveling in the
Sonth, and its proprietor was a courte
ous and polite gentleman. We give
the following particulars from the Ma
con Journal:
“At the afternoon performance of
the company, four brothers of the name
of Kelly, with three other men named
Howard, Goes, Sasser, and R. J. Rus
sel—all represented as desperate char
acters—and all rather the worse for
liquor, got into a difficulty with the
door-keeper, drew their repeaters and
commenced firing indiscriminately into
the crowd.
As soon as the firing commenced,
Col. Ames, who was innis ticket wag
on at the time, leaped out of itand ap
proached the assailants, unarmed, for
difficulty. At his approach, the cow
ardly assasisins brought their weapons
to bear upon him, and though he told
them he was unarmed, and asked them
not to shoot him, fired upon and woun
ded him in two places. The first shot
took effect in one of his thighs, and the
second through the back, coming out
at the lower portion of the abdomen,
as the Colouel attempted to retreat and
escape from the murderous wretches.
During the melee, a citizen unmed
David Oxford, who was standing near
with one of his children in his arms,
was shot through the heart and in
stantly killed. He was a brother-in
law of Russell, one of tho assailants.
Madame Frew, mother of tho Albino
children, connected with one of the
side shows, was badly wounded in the
fleshy part of her thighs.
No weapons are said to have been
drawn or used by any one connected
with the circus, though they would have
been perfectly justified in so doing.
Col. Ames was conveyed to the resi
dence of one of the citizens of Daw
son, the best medical aid obtained, and
though everything possible was done
by his medical attendants, yet he slow
ly sank in the icy embraces of death.
Thus has a good man been ruthlessly
murdered by n band of desperadoes,
who are said to be the same fellows
who, not long sinoe, came near precip
itating a bloody emeute between the
white and colored races in that vicini
ty-
Judge Howell, who was in Dawson
at the time, promptly ordered the ar
rest of the wretches, and they were ar
rested and lodged in jail.
So great is said to have been tho in
dignation of the citizens of Dawson
against these men that serious fears
were entertained of their being lynch
