Beware of those complimentary votes next Wednesday, ye men of Georgia, who go to Atlanta to fleet a Governor. Vote for your choice from the word ‘go." If the Democracy of Worth county isn’t kept in the right track, the sin can’t be charged to the account of brother Hanlou, for he lays dowu the plain path for them to follow. Mr. J. W. Jordau, an engineer of the M. & B. Railroad, struck his foot 1 >st Saturday night, against a gang plank in front of Waxelbnum’s new building, in Macon, and fell and frnct ured his arm.

Several counties are still to be heard from, and we may reasonably suppose that there will bo no change in the relative positions of these figures one to the other.

Every time this old Demo cratic landmark has been abandoned, disastrous results have followed, and we believe if it is thrown unido for the benefit of a few selfish nud greedy office-seetters in Georgia this year, it will do more to disintegrate and break down tho party than forty Feltons and Speers could do.

A German will cnretnllv fish On Tuesday morning last at six o’clock the first gun was fired in the war between England and Arabi Bey, the virtual ruler of Egypt. Arabi Bey has been prime minister to the Khe dive, but has revolted against his au thority, secured control of the army and government, and commenced the erection of fortifications and batteries with a view to a further revolt against England, to whom his country is sub ject, and whose capitalists own large sums of Egyptian securities. To protect the Suez canal, a confer ence of the European powers was called at Constantinople, as a result of which Arabi Bey promised to dis continue the work of preparation for further hostilities. This, however, he afterwards refused to do, and was no tified by Admiral Seymour, of the British navy, to cease within twelve hours, or u bombardment, would be begun within twenty-four hours there after. No heed was given to this warning, and promptly at the ap pointed time the action begun. The lirst shots were tired from the English ships Alexandra, Sultan aud Superb, and were promptly answered from tiie Egyptian batteries on shore, aud for Mie major part of tho day the bombardment was continued by both sides, the English suffering but little, while it is ihouglit that the Egyptian loss was heavy. Before the fall of night almost every Egyptian buttery had been silenced, one of them hav ing been blown up with dynamite by a party of English marines, landed under fire. Notwithstanding tho seeming terrible loss of Arabi Bey, he shows no signs of weakening, and seems determined to push hostilities to the bitter end. England is upheld in her uctiou by the European pow ers, and ns long as she pursues her present line of conduct it is uot thought that she will meet with any opposition from them. Having taken tho initinl steps in her effort to put down Arabi Bey, bur honor as a na tion cannot be satisfied with anything less than his complete extermination, bo denied that sho has u serious and troublesome job on her hands. The British Consul has ordered the closing of the Suez canal against the passage of vessels, but De Lesseps aud bis French company have tele- gauphed their protest against this ac tion, claiming the sume to be a viola tion of the neutrality of the canal. YVe append a few extracts from tho telegrams to date, giving the stutus of affairs: , Alexandria, July 11th.—The ships opened fire at six o’clock this morn ing. The return fire from the forts was weak and ineffective. An explo sion iu Fort Marsa el Kauat had oc curred by eight o’clock. The total number killed is five, and of wounded twenty-seven, distributed among the ships as follows: Killed on the Alex andra, 1; Superb, 1; Sultan, 2; Invin cible 1. Wounded on the Alexandra, 3; Superb, 1; Sultan, 7; Invinciole, 6; Indexible, 2;.Penelope, 8. Alexandria, July 12.—The whole European population is afloat. The British Consul, in pursuance of Ad miral Seymour’s instructions, has hnuled down his flag and gone aboard a gunboat. It is supposed tlmt the Egyptian troops have evacuated the town, as the tires to-night are assum ing largo proportions. The town is reported to be almost empty, and, it is believed, mis beeu left to tho low Arabs, possibly to tho Bedouins, to plunder. At sunset the white flag was still llyiug. Private udvices indicate that the Suez canal will be re-opened to tratliu stood among the officers that firing New Order About Unstamped Let would be resnmed at four o’clock in the afternoon, but no order to that effect was given. The Egyptians sub sequently hoisted a second flag of truce, and the Helicon was thereupon sent to obtain information. The Bit tern ascertained that the Khedive was safe, having gone with Derviscb Pasha to the liamleh palace. The storesbip Humber leaves to-night with the wounded.

Washington, July 11.—Tho Tariff Commission this morning adopted the following form of circular, calling for information, and it was believed that it could best be communicated to the public through the Associated Press, which is done officially by direction of the Commission: “The Tariff Commission, appointed to investigate all the various ques tions relating to the agricultural, com mercial, mercantile, manufacturing, miuing and industrial interests of the United States, so far as the same may be necessary to the establishment of a judicious tariff, or a revision of the existing tariff, upon a scale of justice to all interests, with a view to arrang ing for a full and complete examina tion of matters referred to, invites correspondence from a>l associations, corporations and individuals interest ed iu the subjects of its inquiries, de siring to furnish information or testi mony for its consideration in the dis charge of its duties. Communica tions on the subject may be ttdilressed to Hou. John L. Hayes, President of the commission, at West End Hotel, Long Branch, N. J., until further no tice, and the correspondents are re quested to mention specifically the subjects on which they desire to offer testimony. It is the intention of the Commission to arrange in the hearing of testimony with h view to saving time, and persons desiring to be heard will be notified of the time and place at which tbe Commission will hear testimony which they may offer. We clip the following local from the Macon Graphic: Workmen tire blasting away at the foot of Third street, in order to straighten the line of, the East Ten nessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad in that locality, and for tbe addition al purpose of securing ground for a passenger station. The work is nec essarily very slow and tedious, ns n strata of stoue underlies ull the earth in that viuiuity. The heavy explo sions hoard in that portion of the city conies from the discharge of these powder mines. The undertaking is a great one, but gradually the hill is disappearing and the tons of debris and dirt excavated are being moved along the line to strengthen weak places and perfect tho roadbed. When finished, the passenger depot at that point will be very attractive both from thodine tree growth thereabouts and tbe usual water vista presented up aud dowu the Oomulgee. t*»rs. Atlanta Herald. The First Assistant Postmaster- General issued, a week or two ago, ;t circular to postmasters directing them not to select letters from among those put into the office unstamped or in sufficiently stamped and forward them to their destination, with a no tification that a stamp lias been af fixed by tbe postmaster. It has been the custom for postmasters, in many large cities, to look over the unstamp ed letters that come into the office and when one is fonnd bearing the printed notice of a reputable firm, or where tbe letter appears, from its size and shape, to be important, to for ward it to its destination. The deliv ery of many valuable letters has thus been expedited, and some complaint has been made of tbe operation of the new rule. An order has also been is sued by which , the persons to whom unstamped letters are addressed mav bo notified by postal card, and, on re ceipt of the postage the letters will be forwarded. Iu case tho letter is ad dressed to a distant city, a considera ble delay will be caused by the time spent in the sending of the notice and the return of tbe postage. BREEDINO SOUTH. IN THK A few years ago such a tiling us thoroughbred cattle in tiie Cotton States was almost unheard of. Re cently, however, there has beeu a de cided ebauge in that direction, in spired by individual enterprise, as well as the establishment of State ag ricultural colleges, where stock-breed ing is very properly receiving consid erable attention. A case in point is tbe Agricultural aud Mechanical Col lege of Mississippi, at Starkville, where three thousand persons assem bled a few days ago to witness the sale of thoroughbred and graded cat tle. Over one hundred head were disposed of, ut prices ranging from $50 to *250, mid there were bidders from almost every county in the State, including Gov. Lowry und ex- Gov. Stone. Cattlo-ruising in Missis sippi bus received a great impetus, and promises ere long to share the honors with King Cotton. HURRICANE. Gsivestou News: “Tho returns from the primaries in Georgia indicate trouble for Mr. Stephens. He is not to have a walk over as he was led to expect by the over-zealous party-sav ers of Atlauta. Tbe convention will consist of 448 delegates. Up to the evening of tbe 5th, one bundled and sixty bad been reported for Mr. Ste phens and ninety-three against him, leaving one hundred and ninety-five to hear from. Should the conven tion adopt tbe majority rule it will nominate Mr. Stephens and destroy tiie party; if the two-thirds rule—the custom of the State—the party will be saved and Mr. Stephens destroyed, unless he bolts and runs as Governor Colquitt did the lost time, os an Inde pendent and ally of tbe Republicans, which bo may do.” The above savors of Col.

At Van vim the bnrk Gnillermoor, (japtain Johnson, went down at her anchors. Tho cap tain, officers and six seamen wore lost with her. Five boys were saved. The hurricane was accompanied by a tidal wave fifteen feet high, which swept over the Island with terrible tinning. All the nntives' houses and many of the Europeans' houses were carried away, and cocuauut trees were snapp ed like pipestems. The Island pre sents a scone of wide-spread desola tion. At Tongatea all the churches were destroyed and two thousand houses were levolod, etc. The opera bouses with their contents, and every thing near were swept away.
