Col. Tift, in notifying us of the above

cannot visit cur place. While we
would be pleased to bear him, we are
not disposed to complain in the least,

The Election.
The approaching Presidential election
i* fraught with such vital interest to in
rppreared people, tbit we desire in issu
ing onr list piptr for the campaign, to
mike still another bumble effort in be
half of tbe great political principle* it
ia onr prerogative to advocate.
Within the f resent decide we have
witnessed tbe extent to which the fiery
ebullition of man’s nature can be car
ried carnage and blrodsbed have made
up the news of the day. Tbe proud
government of onr fathers bas fallen by
the fortunes of war into the hands of
aspiring demagogues, for whom, ctrcnm
stances have won tbe title, Great; and
who, to make tbeir greatness, greater
still, would yet write, as others have
done, their names in blood
The ccdtdWow of cur revolution
have not yet found a resting place. Tbe
beauty of tbe American Engle is still
mar Ted ly her disheveled feathers, while
the asgia of liberty floats uncertain amid
the political storm-clouds of the day.
A presiding offioer to take charge
amid this general disorder, we, as a peo
pie, are called upon to selcot. The
Hero or the Statesman must by the
voice of the majority, pass to the holm
of affairs at this critical period, in tbe
history of a great nation. A military
despotism must continue its iron grasp
under the one, while under the other,
tbe country mast return to her once hap
py repose of peace.
If in sequence, I am correct, then
fellow-citiicns, we may claim that we
are battling in a cause of the moat
thrilling interest to all. We are worn
with oppression—we long to hear the
maiden voice of tbe South, begin again
as in days of yore, to enohaatingly
*eg—
“Columbia! Columbia, to glory aria*,
Tbe queen of the world, the child of the skies.’
With os of the South, no words are
wanting to arouse the Anglo-Saxon to
the full measure of his strength, in the
pending contest: but there is a class
among us, to whom we would appeal
for help, in this, a time of trouble.—
With them we are destined to live—
with ns they are identified, and to us
must they look for protection in the
hour of adversity.
The South is our ermmon home—to
her broad acres must we look for the
•omforts of life: her cotton fields as in
tbe paat, under our culture, must be
made to yield their aunual, autumnal
fnllness, and then with peace and plen
ty, the merry voice of the freedman, as
heretofore, will horn bis song of contcnt
ipcnt as he toils tbtougbout the day,
Jt ip to this class we would address
©»r appeal. Wo would a6k them to re
member, that in voting against us, they
ape thus, without excuse, alienating
themselves from those to whom they
have ever looked, and must in the very
nature of things, continue to look for as
sistance in the future. Then let us ask
you to free youraelves from the suicidal
influence of ft ranger*, and come out
w,tl v m tvpptrf r,f the standard lenr'r*
of th* jremt Dtmorratic p^rty.

Judge Crirn, nnn of the cent vii'tM of
three, appointed by ofcr ett z os at u
meeting held tome lime tinee, to solicit
subscription in tbe way of s<< ck for (be
purpose of erecting in our t wo, a LOT
TON FACTORY, still has the Books
open at the storo of Messrs, l’ratt &
Grim, and would be pleased to see tbe
oitizena of the place and community gen
crally, coming up and manifesting an
interest in the enterprise. We are at a
loss to knew why it is, that onr people
are so negligent concerning a matter in
which all should feel a lively interest. —
We are located at an elligiblo poV,
surrounded by an exten-ive area of tbe
cotton growing region <f Southwestern
Georgia, and in the midst of a clever
and enterprising planting people. In
Dhwsod, we have now about thirty b isi
ness houses, ell in full blast; some of
them owned by men of means, and all
spparcDt'y doing a respectable trade,
selling more or less every day, grn*ra!ly
leg j however by a few who have not as
yet found time to give the public, notice
by advertisiment through the “Journal”
of wbat they have for sale, and such
other facts about themselves, folks like
to know, before calling to trade with
them. But we are digressing lrrm tbe
purpose of this article, Ltt us return
to tbo Factory. Are wo to have it 7
Will wc take hold of the enterprise in
its present incipient stage, and press it
forward to completion, and thus build
up ourselves, our town, and our tDtire
community, or shall we trudge along in
tbe paths the pioneers of this country
trod, and leave no monument of enter
prise as an inheritance to those who are
to follow after us. Let us all come up
and take bold of this matter, take the
necessary stock and build the Factory.
It will enhance the value of property
throughout tbe country, make ours a
better place of trade, and in cornecticn
with onr present extensive manufactur
ing ci!ablisbtncnt,under tbe supervision
of our enterprising townsman, Maj r
Nels .n, would give material aid in al
most every conceivable shape. We mus T
have tbe Factory.
The Gr«‘<’iau Bend.
Is it meet that we should write of
Grecian Benders, being as it is, that’we
are sentimental in our feelings toward
tbe sweet creatures whom Editors iden
tify as connected with this prevailing
fashion 7 It is, lut not in unis jn with
our numerous brotherhood of the quill,
who seem to think that their work could
not be complete without this unsee ing
assault npOB the privileges of the female
sex. It has been our misfortune to be
identified with tbe weaker party of opio
ionists, except in issues where we enlist
in defence of Woman's Right.
We claim for her a right to exercise
her own opinion in tbe departments of
drcs«, she being naturally of a tasty dis
position, we mast Bay to her honor, in
spite of wbat others may advance to the
contrary, iD case she be satisfied with
her appearance, she is charmingly win
ning in her Grecian Bender habit.
It is a pity but what Editors coqld
think more of dealing out their rnatba
mies against the more immoral bender
ings of man, since such is vastly tbe
greater evil, aDd let alone the simple,
harmless fashions of tasty women.
Examine this contrasted tendering
of tbe sexes and give to each its effec
tual force id society. On the partoi wo
man, it is artistical and refining, calcu
lated rather to add to her grace and lov
liness, while the other ignoble habit,
styled bendering, of the opposite sex,
is unsightly, demoralizing and absolute
ly brutish.
Yon have a great reason my brother
Editor to change your warring propen
sities against the female sex, and a
chance of spending your sarcasm where
it is more deserving. Puzzleycur hrain,
my dear sirs, with striving to cure the
deformity of mao, and making him a
worthy obieot to be allured, captured
and blessed by the amourt of the Gre
cian Bend.

Washington, Oct. 22, 1868, j
Hon. Horatio Seymour:
1 see i' announced in the papers this
morning that you will enter the Presi
dent canvass in person. I trust this
may be so,as tbe present position of par
ty affairs justifies and demands it It is
hoped and believed, by your friends,
that all enemies to Constitutional Gov
ernment, whether secret or avowed, will
not be spared aDd that their arbitra
ment nnd unjust usurpations, together
with their wasteful, profligate and cor
rupt use of the people’s treasure, will
be signally exposed aod rebuked. The
masses of the people should be aroused
and warned against tbe encroachments
of despotic power now ready to enter
the citadel of Liberty. I trust that you
may speak with an inspired tongue aod
that your voice may penetrate every just
and patriotio breast throughout tbe laud.
Let tbe living principles of the violated
Constitution be prcclrimed and restored
—that peace, prosperity and fraternal
feeling may return to our divided and
oppreased nation.

Wc tiu-t, snys the Louisville Jour

Butler theme; ivi s to be di*couriigcd ly
the gi neral re ult of the elections
which enme off on the 13th. We trust
that i) itlicr in the Slat's whore the
elections *>eie held nor elsewhere will
our friends relax in their efforts to
achieve a national success in N vem- J
her. There is really n t ns much cause ]
for discouragement us many at first |
seemed to think. There is nothing in 1
what has transpired that should dump- 1
en the ut dor of Democrats, or induce
them to ceaso using all Lon Table es- I
forts tc achieve success next month.
We confess that when the dispatch - J
es announcing Radical triumphs in the j
three States of Pernsylvimia, Ohio and
Indiana came flashing over tbe wires
we fe't disnpjKtinted—even for the nto
moot we felt disheartened and discour
aged. But a little calm reflection
sufficed to convince us of our error,
and subsequent aud more correct in
formation showed that things were
more favorable than was at first re
peated. We had rxpected too much.
Seeing and appreciating, as we did
the enormities of Radicalism, we, in
common with many other Democrats,
had suffered ourself to be led in'.o ex
pecting a miracle in behalf of the Dem
ocra'ic party. We saw that the Rad
ical party had subverted republican iu
stituiions in teu States of the Union,
that it had ruined the finances of the
country, that it supported negro suf
frage and negro supremacy, and that
it had 1 een guilty of wrong, tyranny
arid usurpation. It was as clear to us
as the noon day sun that the perma
nent aud complete establishment ot
Radical domination wou'd result in
the utter ruin of the country in all re
spects. Peeing and comprehending
these things, as we did, we expected
others to see and comprehend them as
fully as we. Overlooking the fact of
the existen e of overwhelming former
majorities against D mocracy, then, or
rather holding what bad occurred in
past elections for naught, we looked
for the three States of Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana to pronounce at once
for Democracy and against Radical
ism. A little calm reflection, we say,
has shown us that, in anticipating a
result that would have been little less
than miraculous, we expected entirely
too much, and that the result, even if it
had been os at first reported, so f.r
from being cause cf despair, was per
haps as favoruble as ought ti have
been expected, or as we had any right
to expect. Perfect success in Indiana
and greatly decreased Radical majori
ties elsewhere leave no room lor Dem
ocrats to despond
The real political significance of tbe
late elections is not in the general re
sult, but in the increasing Democratic
etrength shown in the vote. Tbo re
turns prove large Democratic gains,
which, at the time of writing, it is con
fident y believed so far os Indiana is
concerned have actually given us the
S:ate. The conclusion is irresistible
that Penn ylvania and Ohio, as well as
Indiana, will go fnr Seymour and
Blair should the gains between now
and November be in proportion to
what they have been of late. It was
Dot until t ery recently that the canvass
was actively entered upon, and we see
what haa already been accomplished.
The Presidential election is not far off
but there is yet ample time to bring
the Northern mind to a just apprecia
tion of the momentous issues to be de
cided. We urge the Democracy every
where to renewed effort in arousing
popular sentiment against the debas
ing and fatal heresy of Radicalism.—
We call upon thtm to take courage
from the fact that the lavish expendi
ture of money, and fraud and corrup
tion in every conceivable form, could
not prevent a brief and partial discus
sion of the political issues frum result
ing in tue triumph of our ticket in In
diana, aDd in large and general Dem
ocratic gains in Pennsylvania and
Ohio.
Even if Dttnocrals knew they would
be defeated eext mon h, it would still
be their duty to be active and untiring
iu the present campaign. A powerful
and organized minority could do much
toward holding the Radicals in check.
But, as we before remarked, nothing
which huH thus far transpired should
chill our hopes of achieving a signal
victory for Seymour and Blair, for
Democracy and the Constitution, next
mouth.

All very well. But if there is not
law enough left in the countrv to pre
servo the purity of tbe ballot-box, or
pluck enough in the people to assert
and maintain their rights against a rev
olutionary, corrupt and lawless faction
w ho scruple at no means to carry their
ends, then the question arises whether
there is anything in our system of gov
ernment worth contending for.
Tins Art of Money-Tliikiiig-
Wliat a Sensible .Han Says
about It.
In a recent lecture Prof. II G E ist
raan said, on the subjeot of advertising,
that those who had been roost generous
inthtir advertising and thereby tbo
most successful in business, had bren
stigmatized as ‘'humbugs.” Was Bar
num’s Mu-eum any the less worthy af
ter he had successfully advertised it ?
Was the Leger any better before Bon
ner bought out one day’s issue of ibe
New York Herald, than ii was after
wards? Was Stewart’s store any the
less worthy of public patronage, after
paving $22,000 per year for a man to
advertise, when the payment cf (hat
$22,000 gave SIOO,OOO in return?
There is no such thing as ‘‘humbug.’’
A man is either a knave, charlatan, or
cise he can be classed among business
men as a man.
The proper way to advertise was to
advertise one thing at a time As for
instance sugar, sugar, sugar. P pie
would have their attention arrested by
that o r e word, and they would buy su
gar. The result would be that a large
busioffs w >u!d be csiaoiiKlied. But il
people would advertise all they had to
sell they would not succeed, because
their advertisement would not be read.
This was so with everything. If you are
a dry goods merchant, silks or some
other article must be advertised, aud
that aloue An excitement must be
male and business would follow.
The merchants of Europe beat us in
adver'is’Dg They frequently spend
SIOO 000 per year for advertisements.
A T y ewart advertised his cotton
goods alone all over the Union. Mr.
Bomier rn-c wewft to Mr Beonett, of
tbe New York Herald, and asked if he
could have throe pages in to morrow’s
paper for bis advertisement of the L -d
--ger. The answer was, yes; if ho would
pay a double pri.e ho could have all he
wanted, upon which Mr, Bonner said
that be would take the whole paper. The
consequence was that the Herald, the
next day, badoothing bu Mr. Bonner’s
adveriis* ment of the L dger in it Ou
one page in largo letters, it was stated
that an article written by Henry Ward
Beecher would be.in the Leger, and so
on through the whole eight pages. Mr.
Bonner did not adveriso ail he had to
seli, butoDly attracted attention tithe
Ledger People who wish to succeed
must use their brains; they must no! de
pend upon labor.
Advertise not only in the best place
in the papar, but in tbe best papers pub
lished. Advertise only one thing at a
time, and take a whole page for it; ■ r, if
advertisements arc sboit, put them in
the best place, even ifit cos's four times
ns much. The great advantage of hav
ing a large column advertisement in a
good place in a piper was that it cover
ed other adver Dement*; people c< uld
Dot help seeiog it.. But advertisements
must be frequent—a single advertise
ment would have no effect. They must
be repeated till the name of the adver
tise-- becomes well known. Never have
a poor job of advertising done. Cheap
work never paid; get tbe best job you
can. Use the best material that can
be had, aud have no half-way work
about you. Young men,if they wish to
succeed, must advertise aud contiDtie to
do so, until success crowns their efforts
To the People. —The malarious season is
upon you, and you require some remedy oth
er than quinine, which distresses your head
with pain, and sometimes destroys your hear
ing. Tbereforo use the natural remedy of
the country in which you live, Simmon’s

such odds as parties h vc seldom con

have woil much, they have Ist nothing!
The rtcu t in Pennsylvania shows shat
It can and will be carritd for Selim Ur
and Blair iu November. For weeks aud
weeks 'h • eastern capitalists have con*
spind with the high tariff iron mongers
of ibat s’ate to beat the I)> tiiocrzcy,and
if they have carried the State at all it
has been after uu expenditure, by them,
of many thousands of dollars. In addi
tion to this they hiought into Pennsyl
vania a number of thousand voters—
‘ liiys in Blue”—from other States,
which they cannot do in November, as
those Radica.s will vote at hoine at that
time.
'lake away the last of these iofluenots,
and Pennsylvania will give a Democratic
mnj >rity toixcied five thousand, aud
the Ho ney that has been used to carry
this October election, was used for the
sake of establishing a prestige of victory
upon which they wul depend for triumph
in November, when this money cannot
he had We place Pennsylvania iu the
Democratic column.
Ohio is a Radical Stete, and although
the D mooraoy have fought well aud
gained much in this contest, they have
hardly gained sufficiently to insure it for
Seymour and Rtair in November. It has
always giveD too heavy Radical majori
ties, having given Lincoln over 59,000
majority. Money was freely used in ibis
Sia e, and there was some colonization.
Iu Indiana the contest at this writing
is undecidid, aud there is strong proba
bility that it will take the official count
to determine the result. Tne gallant
1L ndricks has made a noble fight, and
the reduction of the Radical majority of
the State from 14,000 at the corres
ponding election, two years Biuce, to
next to nothing, if not to a good Demo
cratic majority now ! We suppose the
Radicals will fiud immense gains for
them in ihis Indiana will give in No-
Vi mber a Democratic maj rity of 10,

teacher of Surgery on the continent.
Few me_i would have ever passed a
more active or eventful life. Educated
at Paris, Dr. Eve wen' as Surgeon in

of the Legion of Honor for his distin

Georgia, which rapidly increased in
fame and numbers under his enillful
guidance.
In 1852 Dr. Eve was called to the
Chair of Surgery in the Medical De

school and during its first course of
lectures, hnving a sh' ri time before re

The success of the Medical Depart

General Orders No. 27.
“Wiilrkas, by an act of Cnngres of tho
United Stales, approved March 2nd, 1865, it
is made the duty ot the military authority to
preserve the peace at the polls at any elec
tion that may be held in a >y ot the States
and, Whereas, this duly has become the more
imperative, from the existing political ex
clienaeatin the public mind, from the recent
orgutizalioo of civil government, and from
the lact that Congo ss has, by statue, prohih«
tied the o>gaifz>lion of military forces In the
several States of thir Department, it is there
fore, ordered,
“That the several District commanders will,
hs soon as practicable, on the receipt of this
Older, distribute tbe troops under their com.
uiaudr at follow s :
In the District of Georgia:
Oaecompauy 16th Infantry, to Albany.
One company 16th lulaniry, io Columbus.

The company at Lavannah to be reiulorced,
should ociasion requite, by such numbvr of

“Detachments, when necessary, may bo
nude to points iu the vieiu ty of each post t
but in no case, nor on any ptetext wha ever,
wiil detachments be sent without a commie-,
stoned officer, who will be fully m.ttuoted by
bis post commander.
“The troops will be considered as in tho
field, ar.d supplied with the necessary camp
equippage ; the men to be furnished with
Cum tir*n tents il practicable, aud if not prac
ticable, wi h shelter tents. Commanding offi
cers a-e permit ed to hire quarters, tempora
rily, wtun it cm be done for reasonable
rails; but this will not preclude the necessi
ty of carrying tents, as tbe commands, in al)
cases, must be in readiness to move at the
soorteat notice, with all supplies required for
their efficiency.
“District Commanders will instruct Post
Commanders in their duties, and tbe relative
position of the civil aud military powers
They will impress on Post Commanders that
they ate to act in aid and co-operation, and
iu euboidiuaiiun te the civil authorities; t tat
they are to exercise discretion and judge—
ment, unbiased bv political or other preju
dices ; that their object should be exclusively
to preserve the peace and uphold law and
older, and they must be sati fied such is the
object of civil officer calling on them for
aid ; that they mu-u in all cases where time
w ll permit, apply lor instruction to superior
authority, but they must at all hazards pre
serve the peace, and not be restrained by
technical points, when, in their conscientious
judgment under tbe rules above set lorth, it '*
their duty to act. Post Commanders ou be*
ing notified of the proposed holding of polit
ical meetings, may send an offioer, and it nec
essary a detachment, to watch tbe proceed
ings aud see that the peace is preserved.
“To the people of the several State* com
posing the Department, tbe Major General
Commanding appeals that they will co oper
ate with him aud the civil authorities in *u«*
taming law and order, in pr. serving the p ace
and in avoiding those scenes of riot an I
bloodshed, and tbe wanton destruction of
properly and life, which has already, in some
instances, been enacted in the Department-
He urges abstinence from all inflammatory
and incendiary appeals to tbe passionsdis
countenancing the keeping open ol liquor
shops on days of political meetings and of
election ; the abstaining from carrying arms,
and asserting the individual right of constru
ing laws by force of arms. No just cause is
ever advanced by resort to violence. Let
there be charity and fo.bearance among po
litical opponents, whatever may be the re
sult ; let each good citizen determine that at)
who, under the law, b ive tbe right to the bal
lot shall exercise it undisturbed. If there are
disputed points ol law, let them be referred
to Ihe Courts, and let not mob3 or politic!*
clubs, or other irresponsible bodies, construe
and undertake to execute the law. This ap*
peal is made io the earnest hope that tbe Ma
jor General Commanding can rely on the good
sense and correct judgment of the main of the
people, aud that he wiil not be compelled to
resort to the exercise of the power with
which he is intrusted, and which he will most
reluctantly employ. But he thinks it hie duty
to make known, that so lar as tbo power un
der his commaud will admit, he will not per'
mittbc peace to be broken, and that he
not be restrained iu the coecientioua die*
charge of his duty by technicalities of
made when the present anomalous conditio
of affairs were neither anticipated or provi
ed for.’*
