France has declared war against Prussia, and al ready has blood bosn spilled. Wo -confess bo ignorance as to any just raise for this blood shod. Leopold, ot the bouse of Hohenzollen no longer aspires to the throne of Spain. We are inclined to the opinion that some old feud, find a small Prussian Terri tory on the Rhine, has inflamed the blood of Napoleon. We know but little of the cause of the war, but our sympathies so far are with Prussia, and think a sound drubbing given Napoleon would do him and his peo ple much good Tiro London Times snvs Franco is without the shadow of an excuse or jnstiiicatiou for plunging Europo into u, war which no person living may see ended. Switzerland, Norway and Sweden remain neutr.il. Russia sus tains Prussia. Austria is expected to side with F ranee. The London Post says “any viola tion of Belgium territory ends "Eng .laud’s neutrality.” The question in which wo ore di rectly interested is, will we, on this side of the water, feel the effects of the war ? Most assuredly ire will. We are now paying ten per com. more for bacon than- paid ten days back, and ten days hence will proba bly have to pay still higher prices. W e are inclined to believe that our section will suffer more than will any other portion of the United States, as it will cause a decline in cotton, the only item of our products wo have to sell, and advance the price of all we have to buy, prolusions especially. In Tlie I’uioii. Georgia for the third time is again in the Union. Wo can see no proviso or provisions that interfere with her at once taking a position as one of the States, and having an election this fall, and think the text of tlio bill de clares that such shall be done. We are informed through dispatches to the New Era that the constitution of the State, as regards time of elec tions is to be left to the present Legis lature. We aro free to express an opinion that such is not the ease, and, if it bo so, that we will havo no elec tion. If there should he a difference of opinion as to time of holding the election, surely the Legislature now in session is not the tribunal before which the matter should be brought. It is said that Attorney General Aker man ivho framed the present constitu tion of' Georgia, holds the opinion, that the instrument makes it obligato ry on the people to hold an election in November, 1870. Mr. Farrow, Attor ney General for the State, holds the same opinion and so expresses himself as will be seen elsewhere. Under all the circumstances, we can but believe that there will be no effort on tho part of those now in office to hold over, but if Gov. Bullock thinks different, and tho legislature is to be the arbiter, we will have no election, and will bo cursed with the present agency for two years longer. Tho text of the bill is as follows : Tho Georgia bill, as approved, by the President, provides that the State of Georgia, having complied with tha Reconstruction Acts, the Fourteent i and Fifteenth Articles of Amendments to the Constitution of the United States having been ratified iu good faith by a legal Legislature of said State,.it is hereby declared that the State of Georgia is entitled to repre sentation in the Congress of the United States. But nothing in this net con tained shall be construed to deprive the people of Georgia of the right to an election for members of the Gener al Assembly'of said State, as provided for in the Constitution thereof: and nothing in this or any other act of Congress shall be construed to affect the term to which any officer lias been appointed, or any member of the Gen eral Assembly elected, as provided by the Constitution of the State of Geor gA Article 3d Section 1 Paragraph 2 1 of the Constitution is as follows : The members of the Senate shall bo-elected for four years, except that 1 the members elected at the first elec tion from the twenty-two Senatorial j Districts numbered in this Constitution with odd numbers, shall only hold their office for two years. The mem-, tiers of the House of Representatives shall be elected for tw o years. The election for members of the General Assembly shall be.fin ou Tuesday af ter tho first Monday of every second year, except the first election, which shall be within sixty days after the ad journment of this Convention , but the General Assembly may by law change j the time of election, and the members j shall hold until their successors are elected and qualified.

IC-uumuinwtei. SmUiivtlie Academy. A pleasant ride of fifteen miles in a first class rail roal car brought us, on l ist Wednesday, to tho pleasant little village of Smith villa, where we found quite a large crowd assembled for tho 1 purpose ot it tending tho Examination Exercises of the Smithville Academy Not being altogether a novice in tho school room and feeling a deep inter est in odueational matters, wc joined the crowd on their way to the Acade my. Wc were mot at the door by the erudite an i affable Principal, Mr. Got tonburg, and after a warm welcome, were pleasantly seated to hear tho clrissos oxamiued. The examination proved thorough and satisfactory and reflected considerable eclat upon teach ers and pupils. The morning exorcises closed at twelve, and dinner being announced we marched to the soul-stirring notes of tho Dawson Cornet Band to a large grove near by where, spread upon an immense* table, that creaked an 1 groan ed under the weight of good things heaped upon it, we found a dinner that would have tempted the appetite of an English Nobleman, we wore kindly invito l to help ourselves which we did with a gusto that would have made even iSancho Panzo feel quite diminutive, Dinrior over, we return ed to the Academy. The evening re citations closed about four o’clock, anil after a short performance by the Baud, which was loudly applauded, Col. Sloan , tho orator of the day was in troduced to the audience, and deliver ed an eioqu >nt and appropriate ad dress upon educational matters. Dr. Wilburn, so favorably known to the people of Southwest Georgia u> an experi need teacher, proiuuud scholar and Ohiistiun gentleman, was then called lor, and delivered, ini promptu, one of the soundest and most practicable speeches upon school dis cipline that we ever heard. Would that it could be written in letters oi gold and hung upon the walls of every Academy in the State He had the attention of the audience for nearly an hour, and made as we believe a last ing impression upon parents, teachers and children. We were highly grati fied to see so many of the citizens evincing so deep an interest in educa tional matters. Upon the cultivation of the intellect of the rising generation depends the glory of the South, the stability of our government, and the preserv alien of our nationality. S. A. G. (('oiuuiuulcatcd.)

The Re publicans hero are quite jubilant, as you might suppose they were, at tho Capital by tho special dispatches to the Era ; FIRST DISPATCH. “Washington, July 15.—The Geor gia bill passed t.lio Bcnate last night, with the amendment which I send you. The bill passed the House this .morning aud will go immediately to the President, who will probably sign it to-day. Republicans here are ex ceedingly jubilant, and send congrat ulation to the earnest Republicans of Georgia ou the restoration of their State to the Union.’ SECOND DISPATCH. “Washington, July 15, 11 a. si.— The President has just signed the Georgia bill, and the empire Btate is again of tiie Union. The bill is substantially tho same as that passed by tiie House, and is considered here us an endorse ment of tke jiolicy of Governor Bul lock and the Republicans of Georgia.” This dispatch iudicates political completion. Tho passage of the bill itself is a doubtful triumph for Bul lock and friends. The Democrats may share in tho congratulations if Georgia is really in the Unfon, aud civil law is restored—tiie military abol ished, and the suffrage of a few peo ple is to elect, at an untrammoled bal lot-box. anew Legislature this Fall.

And this is tho pray er he would have prayed if ho hadn t been stopped: Oh, moot adorable spirit ox Abra ham Liuuoln, thou knewost that thou art the only Radical God, and besides thee, there is none other ; look down, we beseech thee, from tlio fiery throne, upon the assembled wisdom of the State, and more especially this Senate. Thou knowost we have need of much grace, for verily we are beset, behind and boforo, and on either hand, aud a cloud of enemico compass us about, and we are constantly between two fires, for tlio people whom wo profess to represent do curse us bitterly for our extravagance and folly-—while tlio caucus continues to urge us ou to new acts of deviltry. Oh, Abraham, help us oil, Father, be merciful to us in dividually aud collectively, and, if it be possible, give us more honesty mid fa vor with me people ; bless, in a par* ticular manner, President Conley ; give him more charity, and more of tne mil* of human kindness, for veri ly lie is in the gall of bitterness, aud liis loyal soul coutinuetli daily to wax wroth against tho bloody rebels, many of whom would “fain have peace. And, ofi, Father Abraham, have a special care for brother tiigbee, for he is one of thine own pet iambs, aud serveth thee with much zeal. Aud, we pray then, have a special and wateyiul care over brother Harris, for much, we fear, that, under his sancti monious exterior, there hideth an im mense amount of iniquity. Have a tender care for brother Mc- Whorter, for he waxetli lean at mid day, and the meridian sun wastetli him; aud, oh, Father, give more grace to brother Binitli, of the Bereuth, for he is growing lukewarm in the faith, aud tureatenetfi to join the Democra cy. If it be possible, send down thy fool-killer alter brothers Hungerford aud Brooks, for they are stumbling blocks in the way of tho faithful, aud they do olteu expose our hand by their foolishness. Aud wo do pyay time to stop the mouth of brother Chandler, for lie doth blow upon us outrageously, and his breath is ex ceedingly offensive; and we ask thy favors mr brother Holcombe who, al though a Democrat, is a clever follow; atid we pray tlioe to make brother Nuuuaily snow his hand, for we would know his position, for he is continually stealing off Radicals to vote for Democratic measu es—by rea son of his soft tongue and blurring ways; aud we further ask thee to bless, in a particular manner, brother Murriil; may his family increase in numbers in order that tney may get more clerkships and fat offices ; aud, liually, we beseech tiiee to specially bless thy humble servant who now ad drossetn thee, for he hath borne the burthen and heat of the day. Born aud bre 1 a Democrat, he hath turned a Radical that he might got many votes aud accumulate much filthy lu cre ; and now he is getting tiroi of tne company ho keeps, aud wo aid lam hold communion with the Democrats again, but they havo li t the talents o+' gold, nor the shekels of silver whefovith to remunerate him. And now, if it be thy will, oh, Father Abra ham, pmpotuate the power of ourselves and our Master Bullock, for verily we shall never bo elected again ; and we will praise thee forever, al'd forever, amen. 1 lie Ucorgiii llilf. The Georgia Bill has been signed and Congress has adjourned and gone home. Our yesterday’s dispatoUes from Wasliiugton contained tno fol lowing . H. i J .

That it would justly ruin the party to perpetuate themselves in power. He is diametrically opposed in his positions to Gov. Bullock and Blodgett. A dispatch from Atlanta dated the 15th, wuich by a mishap, with numer ous market dispatches, was omitted from yesterday s edition, read as fol lows : Atlanta, July 15.—The general opinion airong all parties is tiiat the, Georgia bill gives us an election this foil. The Atlanta papers of yesterday are silent on the subject of the bill; and we draw an inlerence from the fact that the New Era, in particular, lms nothing more to say in support of its pretension that the bill leaves the election next fall to the discretion of the Legislature and authorizes them to duplicate their terms of ollice. We infer that the New Era thinks it bet ter to wait for the wugon before say ing anything more: If Mr. 11. Jt*. Farrow, has issued an address in Washi .gtou of the nature stated, then we infer, too, that Mr. Farrow has in terchanged opinions with Attorney- General Akerman, and become pos sessed of the views of the administra tion on the subject. We hope these inferences will not turn out to be false or groundless.— Tel. Sf J Tetsenger. Rumored Ettf.xsiox of the S. W. R.

During the night crowds of students and others paradod the streets, shouting, “Vive War !” and “Down with Prussia !" Some persons who protested were hissed and in sulted, but tho police did not inter fere. The crowd stopped at the Prus sian embassy aud shouted insultingly. It is asserted that the Prussian em bassador will leave Paris to-day. Austria professes neutrality unless n third power intervenes. Buussels, July 15.—The interven tion of tho Great Powers for peace has been ineffectual. Napoleon will an nounce to-day a rupture of peaceful relations between Franco and Prussia, and a declaration of war. Paris, July 15. -An extraordinary edition of the Constitutional, has just issued, containing a report of the in sult offered to Benoditti, tho French Embassador. It declares that France accepts tho war which Prussia offers. The declaration of war has been an nouucid iu the Corps Legislatin'. All the old garrisons have gono to the front.

Londox, July 15—Evening.—It is reported that the Prussian Govern ment itself demanded of France the recall of Count Benedetta, and that the European powers yesterday united in a protest against *tue implacability of Prussia, but without effect. The excitement caused from tho situation has been intense here all day. Bus iness was at a stand still, and commer cial quotations are quite nominal People collected in groups iu the streets discussing the news. After ’change hours, the markets wore gen erally rf'rmer, and American securities wore steady, but prices nominal. The Quitman Banner gives the fol fowiug particulars of the assassination ou Tuesday night, of Thomas M. Al exander, one of tho most promising young men of Brooks county : It appears that the deceased, who was living on the plantation of his fa ther, Dr. J. M. Alexander paid a so cial visit to a neighbor s house (Rev. 0. S. Gaulding) on the evening of Tuesday, the 12th inst., and remained until between 11 aud 12 o’clock at night; at which hour bidding the members of the household “good night,” he mounted his horse and de parted for home. Soon after Mr. Al exander departed, members of Mr. Gaulding s household heard the re port of a fire-arm ; but it being noth ing unusual, uo attention was paid to it. On the next morning, however, an hour or two before day, a negro dis covered tho dead body of Thomas Al exander lying in the road a short dis tance from the residence of J aines Mor row, which is distant about a quarter of a mile from Mr Gaulding s. The inference is, that the assassin was aware of the visit of Mr. Alexan der to the residence of Mr. Gaulding, and lor some real or imagined injury, determined to slay him as he departed for tiis home. For this purpose, he concealed himself along side the road, over which the deceased was compell ed to pass, and as he did so, the dead ly charge was fired. The shot took effect in the back of deceased, and must have resu ted in instant death. fcliuco tho foregoing was placed in type, the jury of inquest on the body of Thomas M. Alexander, has com pleted its labors, and rendered the an nexod verdict, charging Jimpsey A. Hunter with the murder; and lie has j been arrested and is now confined in.
