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 ns the Atlanta Sun, should if it at tempts to report Griffin meetings, make some little nffort to wrife at the truth.

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.

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.

London, November I.—Your corres pondent with tho second army corps transmits the following, which has just been read to the troops. 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. William. 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 Alas, for Bazaine 1 Alas, for Fracne! — Constitution. 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.

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 ed. New Advertisements. G. M. Anderson & Cos,.
