Tho Central Executive Committee of the Democratic party of Georgia are invested with authority to call a Con vention of the party whenever they believe it expedient to do to. By virtue of this authority, they re spectfully request the Democratic par ty in the several counties of this State to send delegates to meet iu conven tion in the city of Atlanta, on Wednes day, the 17th day of August next, to take into consideration such measures as the interests of the party may re quire. The usual babis of representation in such Conventions is double the num ber of Representatives which each oounty has in the most numerous branch of tho General Assembly— and the Committee suggest such to be the basis of representation iu tho Con vention now called. E. G. Cabaniss, Chairman Central Executive Demo cratic Committee. All Democratic papers in the State will please copy. Democratic Heeling- Tho Democratic and Conservative party of Terrell c-ounty are requested to meet at the Couit House, in Daw eon, on the 2d August next, at 11 o’clock, an., for the purpose of organ ization, and to appoint delegates to •the Democratic Convention called by the State Central Committee, to meet ■in Atlanta on the 17th August. Let every man who feels an interest in the vrelftne of his country, be present at the meeting. Hon-or reigns in North Carolina. Holden has been reinforced by U. S troops, and the citizens heretofore ar rested, are to bo tried by a Military Court. In another column will be found a communication under the heading, “France and Prussia,' from ore of the most intelligent gentlemen on the American Continent, who was educa ted in Prussia. The Latest news from the war in Europe is, that France is trying to af fect a treaty with Prussia. This news caused great excitement in England, and some of the London Journals say “Franco must explain this offen. hive treaty.” Napoleon had hotter steer clear. From Atlanta. Among the many resolutions of fered iu tho General Assembly, wo notice the following as telegraphed to the Macon Journal: Atlanta, July 2ts.—ln the Senate to-day, Campbell, (colored) introduced a series of resolutions opposing the holding of au election thib tail, which where made the special order for to morrow. The most important move made since the meeting of the Legislature, was an effort to expel Bradley, which iaiied. They are now paying their last respects to one Claibt rne, Repre sentative from Brooks, shot by Bont ly, colored, Messenger of the House. Avery respectable minority are in fa vor ol adjourning, but can’t carry their point. A protracted lull between France and Prussia for several days, caused the expressions of opinion that th< ro would be no general fighting. The latest news, however, is, that a great deal of blood M ill be spilled, not only by French and Prussians, but by the soldiery of other powers. If newspa per reports be true, the cause for a general war is one based upon a de sire to perpetuats power. The follou’- ing dispatch from London presents very forcibly Napoleons views on the subject: London, July 25.—T1i0 Morning Telegraph of to-day prints in largo type a communication reciting an interview had M’ith the Emperor Napoleon a fortnight ago. The Em peror had no thought of a war on Prs sia. He was still unprepared, bjt France was slipping from his hands, and. in order to rule, he must lead France to war. The Emperor jakited the contents of dispatches himself and Bismark, claiming that the latter evoke foo soon. The Em peror demanded Luxembourg, in 1 MiG, as an equivalant fir his nen r.lityin Prussia s contest with Austria, llis maik replied by demaning Holland as an equivalent for Luxembourg. Tl.o Emperor replied to this demand of Bismark, that should the independ ence of Holland be attacked by l’rus sin. it would be regarded as a decla ration of war Count Benedetti n-as present at the interview M’hen these facts were elicted. From Atlainla. Atlanta, July 25.—Moses H. Bent ly, colored, mesenger of the House of Representatives, shot aud instantly killed Malcoin Claiborne, colored, n presentative frem Burke Cos., this j rnoi nitig. The shooting grew out of' u private quarrel. Bentley vvasexped-1 ed by the House and has been | lodged in jail. Legislative proceedings unimportant An election this fail is a 1 foregone conclusion. Ihe Totml* nf n Tjimil. | ,p, ’r> TVMgb Standard, organ of! ii.ji.len, tuns threatens Mr Josiah 1 Turner, cdito- of a newspaper iu Htils- Mc. Turner says in bis paper that tho “Kirk militia cannot arrest him. Governor Holden has not yet made up J las mind to arrest Mr. Turner, but if he should do so the “Kirk Militia ’ i will certainly be on hand to nab the gentleman and carry him to Yancey ville. The Governor authorizes us to say that if, in ease of his arrest, he should resist ho will be properly han dled, nud that if any mob should at tempt to interfere the mob will be tired into at once. Mr. Turner will yet be taught that there is a Governor and a Government of North Carolina. The same journal thus speaks ol tho respectable citizens who, without cause, except their political hostility to Holden, are denounced as ku-klux and friends of thicvco and assassins : We advise those editors and others, who are ranting about arbitrary pow er, arrests made by militia K-c., to keep cool. Tho time has come M'heu the law is to be executed with severity and those who deserve punishment will receive it. The private Secretary of the Presi dent assures us of the support of Gen eral Giant iu the present movement against the ku klux. Keep cool, therefore, one at a time, don’t be in a hurry, you will each be served in due season. Remember that it is only Kuklux who are in danger. And those who are kuklux nud friends of ouch murderers, theives and assas sins, would best demean themselves by keeping cool. It is more pleasant tu do so, and far more healthy. Such is the abuse of power in the reconstructed Federation; and tho above threat by the Executive, and slang from the pen of the righteous (?) editor of tho Standard are very mild compared to some of the outrages per petrated upon unoffending citizens in North Carolina. Aside from position dignity of person, etc., is there no humane sympathy that M-ould dictate a different mode of securing peace and order ? We think there might be in stituted a better plan The situation of North Carolina at the present time is about what we im agine ours will be should tho bill now before tho General Assembly for or ganizing a Militia force become a law. Where is the necessity for an aim and Militia in our State ? We answer, none. If reason could sway her scep tre over blind ambition, and wisdom occupy her accustomed sphere, to the exclusion of political tricksters and ty- rants, who deal oqt justice according to the homage done them, or the weight of a culprits purse, better re sults would follow than by organizing the militia, which of course Mould be made up of ignorant blacks and those of our tvhitu population who had not the manliness to make known their po sition or assert their luvo of “sweet home’ during tho M ar, and lived in caves or other secluded places during the progress of that struggle. It is not reasonable to suppose that a brave honorable, intelligent and law-abiding people M’ould willingly submit to those who would insult their families, laj wasto their lauds, desolate comforta ble homes, and entail general destruc tion wherever they went. There is not an intelligent, unprejudiced mind in the State that would not mourn over the passage of a bill organizing and arming a militia force. A better plan can be instituted for the enforce ment of law, preservation of peace, and the advancement of all domestic interests. Everything for our political good must bo accomplished by un prejudiced reasoning. Political trick ery, personal abuse, nor party preju dices will never accomplish anything. These facts cannot bo denied. What then is to bo dune ? A cry should go up from every ruau of moral worth agaiust a further usurpation of power. The Press of our couutry should take a bold stand, and mildly though promptly rebuke everybody and every thing that tends to lessen our moral standard, or aggrieve us in any way, because possessed of tho power and will. Let our people use every hon orable means to prevent tho perpetua tion of the terms of oi'r chance officers, and ere long shame will overtake these workers ot iniquity—the brilliant glare of reason, honor and justice will uazrie their evil visions, and they w ill be compelled to relinquish all claims I as representatives of the people. Tho Teaarroltr Coveted by France —The population of the Rhine terri tory. coveted by France, is estimated at y,OOO,UGJ. Half of it is occupied by Belgium, and the other half by Rheuish Bavaria, Rhenish Hesse, Rhenish Prussia and a small slice of Holland. It comprehends a superfi- I cial area of about 24,-000 square I miles. About J,000,000 of the popu lation speak French, Dutch and Ger man, with an occasional mixture of patois. The attempt of France at a comprehensive annexation of the left bank of the Rhine M’ould probably in volve her in Mar Mith all the great powers. The independence of Belgi um is guarauteed by Russia, Prussia, Austria and England as well as by France. If France simply mak< s war on Prussia to avenge an insult, and not to enlarge tho area of her territory ' in violation of the international settle- i inents, she may be left to fight it out with Prussia alone. But if t>he makes war on Germany as well as Prussia,) and thus invades guarauteed ter ritorial rights, it is difficult to understand how she will be able to ■avoid raising the great Powers against hex. ProciMumlioii. Tho Journal Ofitciel, of the 22d, publishes the following proclamation trout the Emperor to tin people of Franco: Frenchmen ; Thero aro in the life of a people solettm inotnents, when the national honor, violently cxcifi and, presses itself irresistubly and rises above all other interests, and applies itself to tho single purpose of directing the destinies of nations. One of those decisive hours has arrived for Franco. Prussia, to whom wo have given evi dence during and since the war of 1 80fi-7, held our good will of no ac count, and has returned our forbear ance by encroachments. She has uroused distrust in all quarters, uoees sit ding exaggerated armaments, and has mude Europe a camp where reign disquiet and fear of tho morrow. Pi nal incident has disclosed the instabil ity of national understanding, and show’ll the gravity of the situation In the presence of her new preten sions, Prussia was made to under stand our claims. They were evaded and followed by contemptuous treat ment. Our country manifested pro found displeasu.e at this action, and quickly the war-cry resounded from one end of France to the other. There remains for us nothing but to confide our destinies to the chance of arms. We do not make war upon Germany, whose independence wo respect. W e pledge ourselves that the people com posing the Government of Germania Nationality shall dispose freely oftheir | destinies. As for ns, '«•» domau d tin, ; establishment of a state of things guar- j anteeing our security and assuring our iuture. We wish to conquer a | durable peace, on tbe true interests of the people, and assist in abolishing that precarious condition of things when all nations are forced to employ their resources in arming against each other. The glorious tlag of France, which we once more uniurl in the ace of our challengers, is trie same which has been over Europe civilizing the ideas of our great revolution. It rep resents tho same principles ; it will in spire the same devotion iu Frenchmen. I go to place myself at tho head of the valiant army, which is animated by love of country and devotion to duty. That army knows its worth.— it has seen victory follow its footsteps jin lour quarters ol the globe. I take j w ith me my sou despite his tender 1 years. He knows the duties his name | imposes upon him, anti he is proud to j bear his part in the dangers ol those who fight for your country. May God bless our efforts. A great peo ple, defending a just cause is invinci ble. [Signed.] Napoleon The Lcgiwla lure Wednesday. In the Senate, Wednesday, after re considering the vote by which tho re solution to raise a Committee on Re bel was laid on the table, that august body proceeded to consider THE BRADLEY CASE. The special order for the day being the consideration of the resolution de claring A. A. Bradley ineligible to a seat from tho First Senatorial Dis trict, and R. E. Lester eligible, was taken up. Mr. Speer offered as an amendment that William Henry he admitted to a seat from the 14th Senatorial District. [Mr. R. B. McCutchen, tho Senator lrom tliis district, died, hence tho seat is vacant ] Bradley denied that the Senate could enterta'n such a resolution, as they were still operating under the re construction acts and not under the constitution. They were not insulting him, but the government of the United States. They w-ere not stubbing him, but Georgia to the lieirt, already bleeding at every pore from the mis management and blunders of this Leg islature. This resolution proposes the ro-en actment ot the old blunder. Congress and the people of the North desired the people of Georgia to have a lair election this fall, and if the people did not violate the Fifteenth Amendment, then, and not till then, will her Sena tors and Representatives be admitted. The Legislature is either acting under the constitution of Georgia or under the reconsti uction acts. Unquestion ably under tlie reconstruction acts. — \V nere is tho authority to expel a member sent by authority ol the Unit ed States and by proclamation of Gen eral Meade ? it the General Assem bly had the power to prolong its term ol service two years, it coiud lor fifty years. The Senate might turn him out, but he would meet them. The bB,OUy colored men knew their rights guaranteed by the government ot the United States, and would not bubnut to nave them filched from them by a email minority of 20,000 Republicans wno, utter being placed in power by ttie suiirage ot tue colored race, “went back on tnem, ’ wniie Democrats acted lr in principle. Lie took me position that tho Leg islature made him eligible by request ing the Urovernor not to accept his re signation. The General Assembly w as organized by Harris, an outsider, under au act that they were “to per fect their organization according to the constitution und lawsot the Umt.d Stales ” Ttte prolongatioiiists wanted to prolong their terms in order to tat-, ten at tue expense of the poor negro. | But they were so afraid ol the State J prison mat they did not have any.— ilua they taken bo many oaths that' tueir consciences were scarred as if witii a led hot iron Y In view of their luture punishment, God forbid.

Here the Senate adjourned till Fri day. Commuulfated. Fnifu'c ai»4«l Fru**la- Chattanooga, Tenw., July 23. To the Editor of the Journal: It M’ould be (iillicult to find au in- | stance ia Modern History M’here war M’as declared on slighter pretexts than | those whikh induced Napoleon 111. to throv donm tho gauntlet to his power lid neighbor, the King of Prussia.— First, wo learn that the nomination of Ijeopoldof Hohenzollen, a relative and subject of King William, to the can didature Sur the throne of Spain, fur nished to Franco a “cams belli’ ; but tbe disavowal of any agency in this affair on the part of the king, and the renunciation of Prince Leopold, de prived Napoleon of this cause of com plaint. Next, he seized upon the al leged contumelious dismissal of his Minister by the king of Prussia ; this too proved to be a mistake and a blunder, as the Minister had w.th druwu of liis own accord. Now, as tho last resort, Napoloon complains that Prussia did not carry out one of the stipulations of the treaty of Prague, referring to the retrocession to Den mark of the Duchy of Schlesevig- Holstein. It would be too tedious to enter into an explanation of this very complicated history of this Schlesevig- i Holstein embroglio ; suffice it to say I that France was no party to that treaty, and is in no M-ay interested in it.— Prussia has thus far hesitated to car ry out that treaty-stipulation because three-fburtho or tie people of tliut Duchy are Germans, M’ho apprehend ill-treatment from the Danes, if they should be ceded to Denmark. Then the question arises : What are the real motives which influence Napoleon to seek to involve in a terri ble war not only France and Prussia, ; but probably tho xvhole of Europe? The real and principal cause is, ro j doubt, Napoleon’s herditary hatrel, j and his more recent jealousy of the 1 growing poM’er pf Prussia avlio, M’lth i m the last few years has more than doubled her population, and can now i call into the field an army of the best drilled arid most efficient soldiers in Europe, equal, if not superior in nuin ; bers, to the French. Napoleon, furthermore, likes to im itate Lis Uncle in military exploits; and, to prevent political complications and intrigues at home, adverse to the stability of his dynasty, he thinks i that he M ill unite all parties by en | gaging iu a war to avenge a fancied ! iusuit to tho honor ol Prance. In ! this he will probably succeed; but m - o to him it lie should iail to come off victorious iu this war ! Already Ger many demands as her ultimatum the dethronement of Napoleon. Another and a eheri-hed object of Napoleon’s is that of annexing to France all t ie lelt bank of tfie Rin.ue, not already belonging to France ; this embraces Belgium and an equal amount of Prussian territory ; but this would undoubtedly drau- England in to the contest. If Austria sees any hope of recovering from Prussia what she was compelled to cede to her in the late Mar, she Mill join France; but she M’ould thereby alienate nine millions of her German subjects, and give Russia a pretext for joining Prussia. Tho small, but by its mari time position, somewhat, important kingdom of Denmark, sustains nearly the same relation towards Prussia as Austria docs. England by marriage and for polit ical reasons is decidedly for Prussia, and M uuld instantly come to her aid if necessary. Napoleon, in imitation of his Uncle, is endeavoring to stir up striie between the Germ n people and their rulers, and to cause a revolt among the Han overians and others lately annexed to Prussia. All this is tulile. None of these except the dethroned Rulers and their families, courtiers and depend ants, desire a return to their former ! status. An intense desire for German unity pervades ail the German States, and the people aro convinced that a- Mar resulting in favor of France can have no other effect than the disinte gration of the German nation, for Na poleon can never see his interest in a united Germany, u’hioh Mould out number France by ten millions. The Germans consider Napoleon a desper ate gambler, M’ho stakes his all on ene ia and w.-ll knoM’ing, it lie does n. t just tins slake, all may soon be taken fIJEi him. It is impossible to predict the dura tion, extent or result of his war; it will be a struggle of giants ; the cele ebrated “needfe-guu” against the French “Chasseputs,’ which has not yet been practically tried in battle, but is said to grow too liot alter thirty dis charges, M’hilo the efficiency of the needie-gun is unequalled. Tho “nee die ’ of this gun may now and then bleak, but can instantly be re-placed, lor every man has a number ol extra neid.es sa.cain tlie breast of his coat; but, M'heu tue “Ohassepot” beeomes hot or deranged, it can no longer be used. Then there is nothing like the rapidi ty with which the Prussians are train ed to discharge their guns ; the first rank shoot prostrate from the the second bend tlie knee, while the third stand erect, and all shoot to gether, and 10 times iu a minute. (All ! don’t you M’ish the Confeder ates had had that guu during the late M’ar ?) If any augury can be drau n from the deportment of the two contending parties, Me must give the victory to the Prussians, aside from the laet that they have given no cause for the war. Did you ever observe in a street fight one party who had taken otfenso ol trifles, full of threats, and bluster, while the other remained calm and dignified, neither seeking nor shun ning the fight ? Does not the latter nearly always come off' victorious from the struggle ? In precisely the same attitude Stand France aud Prussia; and, if the right ever prevails, Prus sia must conquer and drive back into obscurity that race of Corsican adven turers M’hose brilliant career has been but the light of the fire-brand on its mission of misery and destruction. What millions of human beiugs I have been, aud M ill yet be, sacrificed . to the restless ambition of the Bona-1 partes! Mr. Editor : I have thus, as request ed, thrown together a few ideas on this European War, which I hope may be acceptable to y.ju and your readers. Yours truly, H. W. Aldeiiuff. From the 7eli’graph & Motmnger l>hlMTtliL». Highly Important from En- England on a VI ur Fool ing at Once. London, July 24.—-In consequence of tho attitude of Austria towards Ba [ varia and renewed rumors of the war j like attitude of Prussia, England has | resolved to make preparations for put i ting her army on a M-ar footing. Tho j Channel squadron has received orders to get ready for sea. Its destination will be to unite with the Medeterrane an squadron at Gibraltar to form a thing squadron under the command of Aurn’l Hornsby, who has been tel egraphed at Valparaiso to return to England immediately. A special dispatch from Berlin to day announces that passenger traffic on the railways Mill cease to morrow. The reserves and Landn'ehr all be ing fornumled. The Prussian army is in excellent spirits and aro full of confidence. Strasbourg, July 24.—A panic oc curred here tliis morning occasioned by the report of a tremendous explo sion The Prussians- had blown up the abutment of Kohl raihvay bridge. Marshal MacMahon is expected hero to-morrow. Tho Emperor is hourly expected at Nancy. The French troops are massing at Metz and Thion viile. Berlin, July 24.—The only M-ritten document which Prussia has received from France since the beginning of the quarrel reached Berlin on Tues day last, and u’as a declaration of war. It declares that the Emperor of the French is obliged to consider the pro posal to elevate a Prussian Prince to the throne of Spain as an attack on the security of France, and he desired Prussia to disavow the scheme. This Prussia refused to do—reserving her right to be govorned by circumstances. The Emperor says he is forced to con sider tins determination as equally menacing to France and the European equilibrium, and particularly, as it M’ds rendered more significant by a communication made by Prussia to tho Cabinets of Europe, giving ac count of a refusal to receive tho French Ambassador. The paper concludes as follows : “The French Government, therefore, is taking steps in delense of its honor and injured interests, and having adopted all measures M’hich circumstances render necessary, con siders itself at war’with Prussia. A body of Uhland lancers passed near Maarbruck and tore up the rail road tow ard Mi tz for a long distance and destroyed the viaduct, and return ed to camp, M’ithoui loss. The French forces are concentrating on the coast near the Belgian frontier. Paris, July 25.—The journals ol Metz say the French have taken forty prisoners, so far. B an Francisco, July 25.—John A. Mac, negro minstrel, is dead. The harvest of Oregon exceeds any former year Raleigh, July 25.—Writs of habeas corpus fur citizens arrested in Yancey vine, were issued by Judge Mitchell, and served on Kirk last Friday, when he tore them up, aud arrested und still holds in custody, tho officers serv ing them. It is staled that Governor Holden will respond to-morrow to the order of the Chief Justice, to produce the body of A. G. Moore, one of the Ailamance prisoners. What the re sponse will be is not known. New Orleans, July 25.-—Yesterday 150 Chinese on plantations near tins city, becoming dissatisfied, seized Cum Evnig, Chinese contractor, and held lnui as hostage, until released by the Metropolitan police. The ring leaders Mere arrested. Dublin, July 25.—The sympathy of Ireland is almost unanimously witii France. Large meetings Were held at Dublin, Cork and elscM’here in Ire land yesterday, at which strong rose lutions in favor of France M’cre adopt ed. Paris, July 25. —The number of volunteeis already enrolled in France is 110,000. It is tolerably certain that Dupe de Palikmo wilt be com mander* lu-Chief of the army of the Baltic. London, July 25. —The French base of operations extends from Strasbourg to Tliionvilie, a lew miies north ot Metz. The ecu tie is between Bitchsche aud Staruoid. The second line is at Metz, and is capable of expansion to the centro and to Tliionvilie. Paris, July 2u.—No report of a bat tle has yet been received. Indeed, none is expected for several days. Paris, July 25.—The Journal Offi ciel contains the following declaration , due Freucti government has insued order that in tlie prosecution of the war commanders the trench forces M'iil scrupulously regard with respect the neutral powers' rules of inter national right, aud that they especial ly conform to the principles of the declaration of the Paris Congress, m iboti, as follows: Privateering is abolished ; a neutral flag protects the enemy ’s merchandise, except contra band M’ares, is not seizable under a foreign flag ; blockade must be effec tive. Although Spain a_d tho United States did not adhere to tho declara tion of f Nib, French vessels M ill not seize property of the enemy when bitch property is the cargo ot a Span ish or ol au Ainoricau vessel, provided it is not contraband of M ar. France will no longer claim the light to con fiscate property of Americans or Span iards found on board vessels ot the enemy. The Journal Officel annouoes that the Minister of War has given instruc tions to commence putting in a state of defence and readiness for active ser vice, tlie old fortifications of Paris, and forts beyond the present line of works.
