If we judge by tho number of now bilL introduced, wo may expect a pro tracted session. Tho Opera swindle, wo fear, is upon tho pooplo, and we think it second to none of tho out rages committed by the party iu pow er, save the efforts now being made by the Radical members of the I.egis ture, to hold over for an indefinite time. Tho prolongation scheme will bo voted on to-day, in the House, and there is some prospect of defeating it. EBunrt i-axv. We are indebted to Hon. F. M. Harper for a copy of bill passed both Housos of the Legislature and ap proved by tho Governor, changing the road law as relates to Terrell County. We hopod to oee other counties em braced in the bill, but find that Ter rell alone is allowed to make the change See the Act below : AN ACT To alter and amend the Road laws of this State, 60 far as they relate to the County of Terrell. Sec. Ist. Be it enacted by the Gen eral Assembly of tho State of Georgia, That all roads iu the County of ier rell iu said State, which aro now* by law* declared to be public roads, or that may hereafter be declared public roads, and which are now by existing laws i equired to be cleared of all trees, stumps, grubs and bushes, at least thirty feet wide, shall, from and imme diately after tho passage of this Act, only be required by law, to be cleared of all trees, stumps, grubs and bushes, at least twenty feet wide. Sec. 2d. Bo it further enacted, That all laws and parts of laws militating against this Act be, and tho same are hereby repealed. Our tniTOHUdings. Who that has attended or heard spoken of the recent meetings hold iu our Court House, aud not experienced heartfelt emotions at the lively inter est manifested in them, and are not ready to exclaim that a radical change has “come over the spirit of our dreams in Terrell county.’ The dull lethargy that seemed to have possess ed the people heretofore has been sup planted by a working interest in the three great questions that involve our public prosperity. The laud that had basked in tho liberties of Repub licanism for nearly a century, Lin ing yielded, for a season, to despotism, making it, as it were, “a fit habitation for devils only, ’ again gives signs of promise, that with well directed effort it will yet be one of the paradises of earth. In the political meeting, we were glad to see so much moderation, aud such a disposition evinced to bide our fate as humble subjects of the law; and whether that law be j ust or not we hope that the bpivit manifested in tho meeting to abide by it w ill Lo en couraged, thereby showing to tho world that we adorn with lwnor tho earth we inhabit, and intend to en hance our greatness with that of our country’s by setting examples of vir tue as good and peaceable citizens. Let us not be laggards in this cause, but remember that “eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” The next in order is the Agricultu ral mee ting which, if properly organ ized and put in operation, is second to no interest that should engage the minds of the people. It is a princi ple iu the nature of men of modesty to imagine that others have superior intellects, and therefore, their thoughts are kept locked up, as it were, iu their own bosoms, when, if they had more confidence in their own ability, they perhaps might do their fellow man good by giving the result of practical experience. The only way to dispel doubt in regard to your own ability is to mingle together, and in your inter change of views, whether related in strict compliance with the rules of Rhetoric or not, you can have a better chance to compare natural talents, and add to your own strength by gathering «f your neighbors’. Therefore, let u» encourage the Agricultural Society, and add another evidence to the fact that “in union there is strength,” even when applied to agricultural pursuits. Nature has not yet been half explored, (especially in our section,) and not half her capabilities have been brought to contribute to the happi ness of our farmers. There are many hidden treasures, perhaps, stowed away in the mind of the illiterate far mer, which he is confident has in creased the reward of his labor, and for his want of self-confidence has ! never allowed it to go on paper, that others might see and read. This' should no longer be an excuse for not benefiting your neighbor with your experience. Meet together, and by giving and receiving council, bring to light, and put in shape for useful application, treaturcs which would | contribute much to tho wealth and I happiness of our laud. Lastly, a word of cucouragemont to those who liavo instigated a move for the moro thorough education of the youth of our land. No one will deny the fact that tho majority of tho crime committed, and superstitions that are afloat in tho land, is tho result of ig norance. We havo but to refer to tho history of 6avngo and heathen na tions to prove tho correctness of this statement; and while the results in our own country are not so appalling as iu those alluded to, etiil the condi tion of affairs is deplorable indeed. Who would like to ooe enacted in America the scones of India, Africa, aud other heathen nations '( Our general surroundings since the war demand more than ever before 1 the education of the rising generation. ■ It is a legacy tho Heathen Gods j would envy could they but realize the I benefits resulting therefrom. Think ; of your children possessing that J which would enable them to battle j successfully with the world when con- j tending with its rudest elemonts. The ravages of war cannot sweep it an ay. Its vitality ends only with the i decay ot mortal flesh. It enables its possessor to grasp moro lirmly’ the precious truths that shall prove an an- j chor to the boul even after death. ! Who, then, does not desire to bequeath to posterity this legacy ? No one but so desires, we trust Ail will agree that tho elements of greatness iu the respects mentioned are at our command. Improve thorn, aud future generations Will “rise up and call us blessed,” for having left land-marks pointing them onward and upward. May every man who has a spark of public spirit iu his bosom, awako to the public interest, and make for him self a name that will live when lie is dead. Our remarks are not intended to apply to the citizens of Terrell alone, but hope to see similar moves made iu all .oi SouthWcst Georgia, and will take pleasure in chronicling proceedings of same when furnished us.

Section six of said act redueos 'he tax upon incomes to two and a half per centum upon all amounts over two thousand dollars for the years 1670 and 1671. The above are the more important changes in the Revenue laws affecting the public at largo, as enacted by the last Congress. W. C. Morrill, | Collector. Washington, Aug. 9.—lt can be positively stated that the President and Cabinet are very decided in tho opinion that both tho law and sound, public policy demand that an election I should be held in Georgia the coming Fall.

[From tlio New York World. flits Icedlc G:m and tlio Cttai- M!|)Vl Iliilit'. IHE NEEME GCN Tho rrusbian needle gun is the in veutioa oi Mr. iircyso, a manufacturer of aims at feommerda, who 6peut over thirty yours iu trying to construct a period breech-loading riflo. The car tridge is inserted at the rear, and the ignition is produced by the intrusion or a needle into the fulminate attached to the cartridge. The barrel is 36.06 inches Tong, aud is rifled with four grooved* down to the breech, where tne edamber, or bed for tho cartridge, is suiootn aud a little larger than tne boro Tho bed enlarges slightly to t*>e rear, so as to admit tlio cartridge freely, aud the lower part of the bore for a distance of 6.17 inches is enlarg ed so that the ball is gradually com pressed into the grooves. The rear of the barrel is conical, aud is called mouth-piece. Over this part there is a six-sided cylinder, which holds all tlie mechanism of the piece. The air chamber, next to the cylinder, lias the neeele p’pe screwed into its breech. Tho iah is spheuo-eoideal. Tho charge oi powder is fmy-six grains.— The weight of tlio Brussian gun is 10.27 pounds to fl.o pounds The mechanism can be taken apart with out screw-driver, vice, etc. it can bo saleiy and easily cleaned, and the gun being small is particularly adapted for use in tlejf confined space of loop-holes, on horseback, etc. The objections to the Brussian needle gun are the dan ger oi a weakening oi the spiral spring und the possibility that tho noodle may not be propelled with sufficient force to pierce tue cartridge. On ac count ol the ease and rapidity with which it is 1 aded, there is also dan ger of ammunition, as the soldier in the heat ol battle, will often lire his piece as last as possible, even when he knows the firing lias no elfect To make the best use of the needle gun, the soldier requires special training The Prussian army is very well train ed to its use, and in this respect has an advantage over tuo French, wno have never been iu a great battle with their Chassepot. THE CHASSEPOT. The fire-arm which has been adopt -1 ed by the French army is tho celebra ted Chasafepot rifle, which is probably the most efficient weapon ever put into the bunds of an army of infantry. It resembles the Brussian needie-gun, but possesses several improvements. Ruling the late war between Brussia and Austria ; the etfoctive work of the newly invented needle gun attracted the notice of all lighting nations ; and the French, anticipating that they would sometime be called upon to punish Brussia for her alleged arro gance and want of honor, immediately set to work to invent a weapon that should surpass the needle gun iu its power as an engine of war. The re suit was the invention of M. Chasse pot, after long and careful study, hav ing the Brussian gun to aid him and to improve upon. After the new riflo had been tested over and over again, the attention of tho Emperor was in vited to it, and it was not long before be was convinced of its superioriiy, und ordered its adoption in the army. One oi' the principal improvements winch the Chassepot has over tho nee dle gun of Brussia, is that its move ment is simpler, aud instead of being i tightly enclosed in the breech by a ! eyE mlor, it is almost fully' exposed, 1 a_d the employment of India rubber as an obturator. It is argued that tlie Prussian gun, alter it has been discnarged several times in quick suc cession, becomes hot and damp in tho chamber, owing to the inability of the gas which comes back alter the explo sion of tlie cartridge to escape. The inside soon becomes dirty, and the soldier is required to take his piece apart and clean it. The French gun, isal ways open, and while there is ue gas shut up in a chamber to corrode the metal, it can in a moment be cleansed from dirt or rust, and the soldier is always able to quickly discover any accident to his rifle. It is claimed that this gun is not so easily clogged as the Prussian needle gun, and is mure sub stantially' built. The Oha sepot is handled in the following manner: While loading, hold the gun in tho left hand, with the but end resting on the left hip. - The lever is then turned with but one government, from right to left, and with another pulled back, alter which the cartridge is inserted into the open ing- thus effected. By a third move ment—pushing back the lover into its | original position—the gun becomes ready to be fired off. The projectile is a rather long slug, with the end rounded and pointed like our rifle bail. The charge, which is attached to it in a paper covering, is composed of a par ticular powder, specially manufactured for the purpose. Tne distance to wiiich this gun carries with certainty is very considerable—over 1,000 me tres. Both the infantry and tlio chas seurs have only the one model, but their bayonets differ, iu so iar as those ot the chasseurs are sword bayonets. The Female Clerks of the Period. One of the female clerks in Washing ton writi a letters to the Boston Herald over the sweet signature of Lucy', detailing tho gossip oi tlio department. Lucy avers that one or two of ladies have a bad habit of saying damn, and using other cuss words rather indis criminately; mid she has detected another in spelling coupons phonetical ly, that is, kupoiiys, and writing 110,- 090 as one thousand ten hundred and nine Another was formerly a mem ber of the bailout at Ford’s Theatre. There is nothing strange in this latter, however. Tho young votary of the dramatic accessories Had influence, no doubt, with some leading Republican Senator; and Lucy ought not to be dissatisfied or allege that she (the ballet-dancer) was lobbied in by a gam bler or a box-keeper, or other disrep utable person; tor who ever heard of a coryphee being compelled to lob bey at all. She had hieuds in both Houses, no doubt. I — y. Y. World Card Ircni Senator &uiilta of ike NeveiiHi. Atlanta, August A, 1870. To tho members of the Jlouie of Repre sent at ins : Duty to myeolf and respect tor the people of my nativo State, in my judgment, demand that I should give some explanation in regard to the resolutions oflered by me in the Senate, and which passed that body on Friday last, the effect of which was expected to be to postpone a general election, and prolong tfie term of of lieu of members of the General Assem bly and of all State officials At the time 1 offered those resolu tions it was honest opinion that, if this action was not actually in accordance with the expressed will of Congress, their wishes, to say the least, were lelt in great doubt, and under the cir cumstances it would be better for the State to postpono an election until Congress should again* convene, and have an opportunity to' indicate, in clear terms, their determination on the subject. My intention was not to postpone an election for two years, or lor aa indefinite period ; but only for a few months, that we might not again run contrary to the views which the Fed eral Government perhaps entertained, aud has tlie paramount authority to eiuorce. I made the proposition with good motives, and, as 1 believed, in tne interest of peace. Tho constitutional objection to tho resolution did not impress my mind, probably, with the same force as it would a person learned in tho law ; but I did not intend to propose, nor can I ever sanction a measure which will deprive or withhold from the peo ple any constitutional right, especially the inestimable right of franchise. Inasmuch as tho resolutions are claimed by many, and probably would bo construed to moan that no election should be held in this (State for two years, aud perhaps tffv a longer time, i am satisfied that they ougiit not fi nally' to pass, and regret that I pro posed to vote for them. Since the passage of the resolutions by the Senate, 1 have learned more luily, from various and opposite sources tho his.ory of the passage of tho late law oi Congress, and 1 am now con vinced that it was the intention of that body to authorize, and as far as they could with propriety, provide for a general election in November next, as provided for iu our (State Constitute n. 1 may not prudently, at present, dis close all the sources of my intorma tiou; out I do declare that it is of such character as to leave no reasona ble doubt that the intention of Con gross was to remit the government of Georgia to the people thereof. As sured of this, there is no good reason for interiering with the regular course ol our (State Government in all its de partments. I have wished, and still desire to avoid all conflict with Federal author ity. The resolutions I offered were designed by me, to avoid the possibil ity ol it by a brief delay of an election until Congress should unmistakably express ivs will. But tho words of the law in connection with the history of its passage, so clearly manifest to my mind now the intention to clothe tho people of Georgia with all the rights of citizenship, as to leave those with out excuse wlio would withhold them. Thoroughly convinced that my course and vote on this subject were erroneous, I take the earliest oppor tunity to i epair the wrong as iar as may be by un honest acknowledge ment of it, and by an earnest appeal to you to defeat the resolutions when they come up for action in the House oi Representative. iV> . C. Smith. Aoi'tli Carolina B 1 lection. Wilmington, August 6—Returns enougli have been received to settle the tact that the Conservatives earned both Houses of the Legislature by a decisive majority. They also carried the 3d, 4th oth, 6th and 7th Congres sional Distracts, which makes the del egation stand five Conservatives and two Republicans. Waddle (Conservative) is undoubted ly-elected, though two counties aro yet to hear from. Careful estimates fix bis majority at 87b. It is conceded that Shipp, Conserv ative candidate for Attorney General carries the State. Raleigh, August 6.—-Election re turns received to-day confirm the pre vious opinion expressed that the State has gone Democratic by from five to I fifteen thousand majority. Cobb, Re ! publican, in the first ilistret, and Nix on, to fill tho vacancy occasioned by tho death of Heaton, and Thomas, both Republicans, of the second dis trict, are certainly elected. Additional returns render tho election of Wad dell, Conservation, over Docking, Re publican, certain Gilliam, Conservative ; to fill Dowel’s vacancy, and Rogers, j Conservative, to the next Congress from tho fourth district, are elected. Rogers beat Harris, a negro, about nine hundred. Leach, Conservative, is elected over Scott, Republican, for i the sixth district. Harper, Conserv ; ative, is doubtless eleetd over Jones, Republican. Both houses of the Leg islature will be largely Democratic. Some claim a two-thirds majority in each House. A Slandered People. —A corres pondent whom the Now York Herald has sent out to ascertain the truth with regard to the rebellious county of Alamance, North Carolina, the best part of whose resjiectable citizens are in jail, makes a report which, coining from a Northern man, should startle the country'. Stephens, the murdered Senator, he rays was a notorious thief, had frequently confessed and com pounded his crimes, and a pest to so ciety. There is not the slightest! ground for the belief that polities; had j anything to do with his death. Be-1 sides his case, but tw - o murders have j occurred in the county since 1860, j and the writer says a more respectable and orderly community does not exist, North or South.
