PARTICI'LAK NOTICE.
All Bhetiffs, Ordinaries, Clerks and
other (so-called) ‘ provirontl officers”
of the State, who have been accustom
ed to send their advertisements to the
Journal nnd other Conservative jour
nals, are informed that they can now
resume their usual channels of busi
ness, o;der 49 and its author having
left the country for a trip up Salt Riv
er, nnd there is none to molest or
luake them afraid.

C3T We had the pleasure of a short
trip to our thriving little neighbor vil
lage, Smiihville ; and everything there
teemed to be active life. During our
short stay, wo met msny o'd friends end
acqiain taocs among the business men
J. T. Stawart and Capt. Whitaker, and
last but not least onr young friend Capt.
* JJub,’ proprietor of the McAfee House,
whese table goes further than all
we could say in maintaining tie long
and well established reputation of this
most elegant Hotel. We sbr 11 never
fail to call on the Captain and enjoy
his unmitigated flow of good spirits, and
advise every one else to 4o likewise
Political.
From what we can gather politically,
there iB hardly a ray of hope for much
improvement, and until tbo ccrglomora
ted pow wow at Atlanta exhausts them
selves in wrong doing, we can form no
idea of what burthen the respectable
white American citixens of Georgir will
be forced to bear. The only possible
way to avert the evila and wroegs that
are being heaped up against us, is to
seek every opportunity to make use of
the only means of our defence left—our
right to a fearless assertion through
the ballet box. The removal of our
State Executive and the other civil of
ficers, breaks np all semblance and re
moves the last vestige of civil govern
ment in our beloved State, and we are
now entirely under Military rule
Our noble Governor Jtnkcns has fall
en, in what ho as well as ourselves be
lieved, contending sos tight against
wrong. And if some of the miserable
sycophants and hell-deserving dema
gogues and repen tent rebs about Atlan
ta could ODly look in his face—see
the true and noble G.orgia patriotism,
displayed there, if it did not woik a
change —the sight of so much honesty,
would, in all propability, shock them to
death, and thus relieve our State of a
set of insignificant demagogues, who are
seeking to drag down to their level, boa
est white men.
nori'il>U' Accident lut'liatla
nooga.
2wo Yomy Laditt Burned to Death.
■\Ve learn that a shocking accident
occurred in Chattanooga TenD , says
the Knoxville Herald , late on Satur
day night, by which two young and
nccontpliahed ladies lost their lives.—
It appears that Miss Maria Daly had
been spending the afternoon and even
ing wuh Miss Kate Harrington, at tr.o
residence ot the latter. About 11
o’clock, the young ladies retui ned to
Miss Daily’* residence, intending to
sleep there. It being cold, Miss Daily
attempted to start a fire in the stove,
bat the fire not burning briskly enough,
she procured a gallon can of coal oil
and poured seme of the oil in the
stove. In ud instant the oil exploded.
In another instant the young ladies
and everything in the room were in a
blaze. Miss Daily threw herself on
the bed in an adjoining room, but only
succeeded in setting lire to the bed
clothes. She was soon rescue! by the
negro attached to the house, who,
alarmed by the screaming, rushed in
and bore her out. Miss Harrington
rushed out into the street, and was
immediately /ssened from the flumes
by several gentlemen who bad arriv
ed on the scene. Bolh ladies were so
severely burned that they died early
on Sunday morning.
A private letter, giving us an Ac
count of this horrible accident, says
the room was completely enveloped in
tlamev, and although the neighbors
made mo-t heroic effort* to rescue the
victims, they found themselves almost
powerless. The persons most active
in their efforts to render relief were
well nigh suffoea'ed. The scene is
described as terrible. The bodies of
tbt two unfortunate young l*di«s pre
sented a revolting appearance. The
victims were highly esteemed in Chat
tauooga, and their melancholy fate
cal’s forth universal" regret and sym
pathy.

Beast Butler Cluillcnsed.
We stated on Saturday, says the liith
mend Register, that a rumor wa9 cur
rent to the effect that General White of
the CunventioD, bad challenged Gener
al Butler, while in the city, to mortal
combat. The rumor was only two true,
aafl we have been put in possession of
the following facts:
General D B. White wrote the let
ter below to General Butler on the 14:b
of January, and had spoken to a friend
to carry the letter as soon as written
and deliver it to Butler, but, through
some misunderstanding, \Y bite failed to
meet his friend after the letter was ready
for delivery, and learning that Butler
intended leaving that night, and not
withirg him to leave the city without
receiviog the letter, it was baud' dto
the clerk at the office of tho Ballard,
with the rrquest that it be sent up to
Butler The letter was sent up by a
servant.
General Butler called two or three
of Lis friends around Lien, showed them
the letter, and sent a verbal n essagn to
White, stating that be would give him
all the satisfaction be desired, and thou
left the ci»v before the message coulu
be delivered.
White floding that Butler bad feft,
and next dav receiving 'be message
that be (Butler) would give him the
satisfaction wanted, immediately wrote
to Butler, asking if such were the facts
He has rccived no reply to this. Tin
cause of the difficulty was a general or
der issued by Butler while in command
of the Army of the James, reflecting se
ve ely upon Colonel White, who at
that time was in command of a regi
ment. The General is a “located”
preacher of the Methodist Episcopal
Church.
The following is his missive to But
ler.
Constitutional Convention, 1
Richmond, Va., Jan. 14, 1808. J
Major General B. F. Butler :
Sir —Whilst you wore in command
of the Army of the James, aDd I bav-
no more rights than that of a pri
vate citizen, you undertook to in
sult denounce and send me from your
Department'. For the first time since
that period we a.'and u ton an equal It 1 1
ing j we stand upoD the same soil, and
occupy in every retpeci the same rights
b' I >re the law aod the powers that be.
I deem this, therefore, the proper occa
si-'D for a vindication of my own char
acter bofore the country, and I demand
of you that satisfaction that one gen
tleman will always Bceord to another.

Other demands upon our colums have
1 prevented us from laying boforo rur
I readers at the earlier date the uncxed
i proceedings of tbo Railroad Convention
held in Atlanta on the 15 h inst. It
will be seen that vati>us companies
represented on tbut occarion have inau
gurated a plan by which a tide of im
migration may bo induced to set in this
direction. Wo give place to. the pro
ceedings which we found iu tbo Atlan
ta Intelligencer, with the hope that
they may attract the aUcn'iou of some
good people abroad, who may desire to
seek Loans among us whenever we
shall bave become sufficiently settled,
politie-Hy, to i ffer tafe and permaDeut
b< mes to anybody. Tbe report of the
Convention sijs;
Believing, as we do, that the prosper
ityofibc Railroads, as well as every
other interest of 'he 8 uth, is depend
eut on attracting to it an extensive im
migration fiom the North, as well as
from abroad, we esp-eoially invite the at
: tention of Railroad managers to the im
portance of early and energetic action,
with the view of affording all possible
inducement* to imuiig'a&ts and imtni- j
grant societies, who may wish to settle
or operate in our country.
To this end, we suggest that tho
Southern Railroads shall adopt tbe fol
lowing tariff for the transputation of
bona fide settler- ard their goods .
E>r each adult passenger one (1)
cent per mile.
For children between five and twelve
years of ago, half price.
| For children under five years old,
free; and tbat e ch full passenger be
[allowed oncbufidrid and fifty (150)
! , ouuds of baggage, wbicb shall be cai
| ri»d free of charge, and that they shall
be charged at the rate of two (2) cents
per ton per mile fur extra baggage,
which shall include household furniture,
farming implemcncn s, machinery aud
tools intended to be used by sueh per
son.
And, furthermore, that tbat road on
which immigrants shall settle, shall
tiansport him and his goods free of
charge.
It is the wish of this Convention that
this suggestion should become an agree
ment, ard you are requested to cororou
r.iiate to E W. Cole, Superintendent
Georgia Railroad, Augusta, Ga , yrur
acceptance or disapproval of this prop
osition at as early a day as possible
When any twenty roads or more
shall bave sgrecd to this propo ition, a
second circular will be issued by E. W.
Cole, calling t. gethrr tbe geueral tick
et agents of tbe roads agreeing to the
tariff, at seme convenient point, to ar
range he dcta'ls and carry the agree
ment into eff ct.
Tbe mcmbeia of (his Convention ar
fully impressed wtlh tl e belief tbat an
increase of the industrious population iu
the South will add greatly to our pros
perity, we, therefore, confidently a-k
ih" press of the country to give this
circular pub] city, and request them to
call rhe attention of their readers to tbe
ac'i-in of this Convention, which action
will f-h n w that the rai'roads of .he South
are anxious and determined to do all in
their power to restore the country to its
former prosperity

A A1 poor • a Bradley (negro) hoped
that every colored man at least would!
