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. Tin* Colton Fnrtory. 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. Prcsideut Johnson to Governor Seymour, Executive Mansion, 1 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. Andrew Johnson. *6T Prentice saysthat, if Butler is the head of the Republican party and F r uey tbe tail, he would advise the party to shake it* head and sw itch its tail, Ths Lnle i loctions. Wc tiu-t, snys the Louisville Jour nal, that the Dem >crnoy will nowhere 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. S otne ot) e asked a misor what be wanted, and he replied—Gold, more gold. Asked an affianced what she wanted, and her reply was—My chosen to be true to me.

Asked a merchant, he answered— Plenty of customers and good profits. The Proprietors of tbe Diwson “Journal” were asked what they at this time most earnestly desired, and their reply was, that the subscription list bo paid.

The Piiiiadel} hiu Age concludes a vigorous article with theee resonant mid valiant w ords : ‘•Tho temporary disaster which lias met us was not owing to our candi dates or our principles, but was solely the result of n monstrous s. heme of fraud, bribery and intimidation, which was inaugurated and ear ried imo effect 'ey corrupt Radicalism. In Pennsylvania, the honest txpr ssicu of tho will of the people was not per mitted to be heard We were cheat ed in almost every elect : on precinct. — We may again be defeated by the same infamous means which produced an apparent majority against us in the State on Tuesday last But our faith in the people—our faith in the ulti mate triumph of the Democratic party —our faith in the great cause of the Union and tho Constitution —will u, t be shaken one particle, but on the con trarv, will be made stronger and more enduring as the clouds thicken and the tempest rages. If these solemn, earnest words should be read by one human being who has leen disheart eued by Tueeday’s fight, we say to him. SB OF GO D CIIFER, BUCKLE ON YOUR ARMOR FOR ANOTHER AND STERNER CON TEST ! To-day we again advance the advance the old Democratic banner— on its folds are written our eternal principles—and we will keep it flying at our mast head, just as it is, until de feat overtakes it, and then we will sad ly fold it, but hopefully, aw y, until a anew struggle invites us to fling it again to the breeze in defense of our common liberties "’ 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.

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, 000, when the Rulical carpet-baggers be I ’Oging to Michigan and Illinois, go back home and vote wheie they oeloug.

In common with this entire commu nity and Mate, we regret to lose the service* of this distingui-hed Surgeon and high-toned gentleman, who leaves us this morning to fill the chair of Sur gery id the St. Louis Medical College.

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.

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.’* By Order of Major General Mead* ’ R.
