Tim AdrerUser in a recent homo in its prophetic kenn. Im* discovered a question of the greatest imirortance, that will soon force itself upon the merchants of Havnn n.ill particularly, and that ia the future of the Gulf road; and says in substance, its extreme einharrassinents can no longer With proirriety he disguised. “As to lmw 1‘ got so is not ft question for present dis cus .ion.'” Why not ? If there nro causes! investigate them at once, and remove ] them if they are producing such and re sults. It is clearly infernlilc from the wri ter’s statement that lie saw the approach - * lift disaster, and if he had then investigat ed Hie causes instead of disguising the fact, his knowledge of wlnoll is clearly da ilnnenlile from his own stalemefrt, the fisaster might have been prevented, We urn HoiinoSUnt surprised at the fob lowing statement of the writer? "The prosperity of tire gonerid lrn<V> of the city of fin van naif lives or dies with flrC Gulf Fond. ” Tins makes Savannah rather n hisignitlcnnt city if ita vitality depends Upon tie* trade of a section of country so Impoverished that it can’t sustain a rail- j rood. Upon whut a alender Giread hangs the deatinie* of Huvunnali. The rond, he "Sivh, is wow in extremes and its death will win If the light of Savannah's prosperity frn-ever. Truly, Huvaiiunh, in the midst j of life, ye are in death according to the ; ptopli'et Sims. We think if the A-drertiser will consult the merchants erf Hnvammb, lie will find them joining issue with him, 1 if they speak their true sentiments to oth- i ers. They, with a few exceptions, say not only hy their nets, but in plain, com- Jue’hensive imd un mmtirkal de plnnaeoligy, llftt thet don’t cave for the trade of South ern Georgia. While we know that they nay so, wo believe they speuk falsely when they say ft, for a moro solvent ami punc tual set of merchants cannot be found than ! lives in Southern Georgia. It is true that • the impoverished country, so called by the ! •h/nviiser, through which the Gulf road j pusses, contributes largely to .Savannah's j prosperity, tint we were not apprised of j the faet that the trade, considered so nn- ( important by the merchants, was the life i blond of the city until informed by the ; .id rrr/inrr of the foot, wliich it has dis gnised so long, and that the great artery that sustains its life and perpetuates its exis tanoo is strained to its utmost capacity, and must soon break-. The prophet gay*:! “If it slionld full into fho hands of parties ! MiiHiioaV to Eaton Hall, a blow would be ijfeiilt to the trade now coming here from ■which we never would recover. ” The writer in this assertion doesn't only contradict the mcivhnntM of his city, but bis conclusions from bin own Btuto of facts are unreasonable anil illogical, and by no 1 means friendly, either to tho city or the Toad, Take the facts na lie states thorn, the country is so impoTWiHed that it can net mist-air, the road; nth! the street-cor ner talkers say the road is in its extremity and must dfe, and this nilreliable, hearsay rCidonce the .Merrti.w takes as condu cive, tuid assorts tjnit with its death the financial prosperity of Savannah must die also. If with the death of tho Gulf road the prosperity of Savannah must die, and the Gulf road is now in extremities, the inevitable conclusion is that Savannah’s fluaneial pulse beats very feebly now. - The writer says.: "An appeal to-tho steokhivldiMs would wuiomit to nothing as the stock has fallen *<> a pynit so near woo tlmt it seems scarce ly words priitor-tlng, and really they are uot in a condition to do more than advise with the DirertbtSi lint the iSesidbnt mil his Hoard are looked to ill this cider . ':y for suggestions of relief." whom does the Aihertiner expect l'res r.lentScriveu and his Hoard to make sng-j , .tions for relief, certainly not to a city whose financial prosperity must die with e railroad that is flying for want of patron age, on account of the poverty of the country through which it pusses. Tho .b lnrliter asserts that "public opinion will hold tho management to- rc eimutability if nothing is done to pres, wo us until the hint extremity.” lie says the mad is in great extreinitii'S now, and Ire wont disguise the fact any longer that the ; stock is down lorem, and not of snflieivnt importance to protect and w ith the mart in this depressed condition, he threatens the President and- his Board with a fearful nc conntalullty to public sentiment if they don't make suggi-stiiins for the immediate relief of Sarnimah, and to protect them until a final extremity. It may Ik* good logic, but we confess we can't see it. Hut we do flunk wo see something of a personal wstnre ill it. We don't know the editor, m<r do we assert this as A fact, hut we are forced to the eonelnsion tlmt he is lint friendly to the Gulf road, nor to its managers, and that in hie injurious article in refei'cncx to the riwid. he places the site of Savannah in ft very unenviable7o - in. a fipaneial jsiir.t ofwfow. Tho United States Itinerant Judiciary. WADE, IX IIIH EAGERNESS FOR AX IMMORTALITY OF INFAMY, PROSTITUTING THE'DTT’irK OF UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER IN VAI DOST t IN TRYING TEN LITTLE HOYS FOR SERENADING SLIPPERY DICK WHITELKY Heboid the august tribunal ns he stand* in his assumed dignity with his imported Marshal, then look at the little prisoners Dolt innijM.r. What a seeno to contemplate h \ Judicial officer, with the blood of Captain Hunter, upon his unhallowed hands trying these innocents for serenading a thieving Radical candidate for Congress. This is one of the incidents that prove the forbearance of our people; many Hilch insults have they submitted to as law-abiding ci’tiz am, but we do earnestly believe that it is theoniv place of cqind population on the continent of America, where Wade could have perpetrated liis villainies and live. Now, as u friend to peace and order, we suggest to Wade and Griffin, at the approaching C ingressioual election, that they let the negroes vote at their respective prescints, and not congregate an infuriated mob of wild, reckless and i rutal creatures to shed the blood of wliite citizens. We notify you now, that we want peace, but if the blood of another white man is shed by a negro, under your influence yours will atone for it; onr people will not submit to it. ’ J “That tho road must change its owner ship is patent to everybody.” Wo won- I der if the Adrertiter lias any purchasers in j view? He appears to bo fearfully agonized, lest it may fall into the lmnda of parlies I inimical to Savannah and change its direc tion, kill Savannah and terminate the raod ] somew here in tho Okeefeuokes Hwninp. lie anticipate* a side of the road by the Hhcriff, and assorts if that fate befalls it, that parties antagonistic'to Havnnnali will rise up mfd give “us" trouble. Tlmtwould j boa very fearful result and the Editor is inclined to impress it, with peculiar force, upon the minds of the stockholders, and then very kindly suggests that some effort at an arrangement be made before it is too lute. We uro not acquainted with the ed itor; know nothingf the President and ; Superintendent, except from reputation, and therefore, are not their chosen ornesl. We write this upon our own responsibility not with the vie w of defending the Officers iof the rosd, for their reputation as honor able ami loudness men is established, and ' needs HO defense, nor with the view of ' raising a captious issue with the Ailrnrlit er. Hut we do ft because we think we see in tho Advertiser"ti article thoont-oroppiiig or fore-shadowing of a contemplated rail road monopoly. We conclude from the article that, the Advertiser is not friendly to the present managers of fho Gulf Road (and that lie not only predicts, but earnest ily desire* a speedy change in ownership i and management. And that he has ftjnew j ownership in contemplation is quite as ob- I tiou'S Aft the other projxrsition. It maybe i that the Adrertiser would be pleased for it to fall into tlie hands of tho Central Rail ] rond Company. If so we presume he would Int once advocate * diseontiiiksneo of the I (leutrnl Rond as the whole prosperity of Knvnnfmh is dependant upon the Gulf j Road.- Now, we beg leave to join issue with tire AdterVutfr. We think his article does groat injury to the Gulf Road and its managers, nnd to tho country through which it passes, and also to tho city of S'avaomili. First the President, and his Hoard Ims dtluo all that could he done for j the prosperity of tho rond, every interest has been carefully guarded, and greater j energy, perseverance, skill in manage- j ment and economy in husbanding the re sources has hcver characterised the officers of any rond, and no mnfi or set of men could have managed and controlled it more profitably. Then why threaten the Presi- j dent with a fearful accountability to pub- 1 lie, sentiment if ho does not make some j suggestions for the relief of tue road and | the salvation of Savannah from financial j ruin. Hasn't President Soviven made sag ] gestions nnd urged them upon the city of ] Savannah and the stockholders that Would, ! if carried out, not only relieve the rond from embarrassment, but would have made it one of the best paying roads in the State, nnd not only would it. have prevent ed the death of Savannah’s prosperity, but would have given to the city anew impe tus, new life, with largely increased facil ities ami resoiwees. His suggestions were plnnsnUe and would scr strike the rniml of any sensible man or commnnity of men. The Gulf Road to- be a paying institution with its prescut exten,t considering the country through which it passes is something that ■ a reasonable man could never hope for, \ slid if President Scrivon and his Beard has So conducted it as to pay expenses, they justly merit an immortality of fame for economy and financial ability. The pro jectors of the Gulf Road never, as business n\-m, expected any profits to arise from- tbe running of the road to its pres ent terminus, twit built it with a view to ! present convenience, nnd witn the uutici- j putien of future extension into the State j of Alabama, tapping one of the most pro ductive and fertile regions of that State, ! giving almost a direct line from Mobile to Savannah nnd a shorter distance hy seven ty-live or one hundred miles than any oth er rout. With that extension nnd the ftn- j mouse freight drained from that ptuduet iveoountry together with the vast tinvel that j would necessarily pass over the road, the stock of the road would rise from sero to a much higher temperature, mid the talk . on the street corners, live source! whence the Advertiser obtains its informs- j tion, would materially change, and Savau | hub’s prosperity would be imperiled no - louger What more could President Scriv I on have done'hen to suggest the plan, and ! urge the city of Savannah and the stock- j ut '.decs to adopt it ? Doesn't the Adeertis er well know that President Hcriven visit | ed Europe in the interest of the road, and that lie could have secured ample means i for the extension of the road if Havnnnali | had sustained him. We feel safe in saying ; that the President and the Superintendent ] have done all that could have been done in the management of tho road, and they have divined a plan for its extension, its , prosperity and success, who could do more, and why should any one threaten them with an accountability? We think the Adrer- User does the city injustice by saying its 1 prosperity lives or dies with the Onlf Road. The road it is true, is one of its important | tributaries, but certainly not its ouly source of life, for Havnmislilived and pros pered before the road was built. We think he does injustice to our people, for they are not so poor ns he represents them. Our people, generally, are in a flourishing : condition, but the misfortune is our couu j try is too sparsely settled for the develop ment of its agricultural resources. Au<l, now, in conclusion, wc lire constrained to say the Advertiser's article came w ith rath 'er s bad grace, from nt least one of the | proprietors, who has enioyed a very lucrative patronage from the Gulf Rond under its present management. Perhaps the editor has taken upon the brain a lit -1 tie nitro glycerine, with which be propos i es to blow up the Gulf rond and destroy I Savauuah if it dou’t take his advice. WHAT 18 CUR DUTY ? ! I It certainly Is not the duty of this or any j other community to nurture in the public , bossom venomous adders and subtle foes, j Tbe black people have declared their inde pendence of the white people and propose jto run a radical civil rights schedule. We think it is the duty of every white man to ! let them nlnne, gifhijf them all ther rights | under tho law, but it never Ims been, nnd | certainly is not now, their duty to feed : and clothe their enemies that will rise up ; and murder them ot the commtnd of their j base white leaders, now, wo have white 1 citizens that have families that are clever men, nnd good mechanics nnd true citizens and it is the manifest duty of every citizen to patronize them. The negroes tliiuk and say that the white people can’t dis pense with their labor; we have no hesit ancy in saying that farmers who never hire a negro are far more independent nnd less embrrrassed than those that do. Wc have two white gentlemen, who re black smiths and do good work. Then as it is a question of races and the negroes deny any dependence upon you. Why not let them I support each other and we work together j for the good of our race ? Wo have done nil we can to reconcile them, nnd take them j I out of tho hands of their villainous deeeiv-1 er, but they would not believe us, nor w ill they believe us now. Wo suggest the propriety of telling Whiteley, Wade and I Griffin to patronize them, and the white ; folks purtrouize their own ookir. Don’t talk to them at-out voting, we don’t want their votes, except the Week people whoi ! have proved themselves to be friends to j \ tbe whites, to them We hope special favors : will be shown. Wo have Jtose Knight, Warren Manning, Gus McAfee, I’riee and ! Sapp who are mechanics ami who have been well patronized, and when they work led did well we say to yon country rneu, they ore the associates of Wade nnd Grif fin, and rliey are your enemies.- Appeals to reason have utterly failed nnd the more you do for them the less grateful and more defiant they are. It is perfectly legitim ate in war to cut off the enemies supplies, pay each of these men what you owe them if you owe them at nil, then patronize : your white friends. Any person in town I 1 or country wishing blacksmithing, earpvn-1 tering bricklaying, shoe-mnking, hy calling at this office can learn where to find a Wfaite man or s colored friend to do > it. - - GLORIOUS RESULTS. The election for the Legislature is over, j nnd a glorious victory Ims crowned the ef forts of the our people. Thomas county is relieved faom radieai ruin, giving to the INmioerarey a majority of five hundred surf eighteen, lirooks, true na ever to her county, gave a majority of three hundred snd ninety-one. Colquit. will give from two fifty to two hundred nnd seveutv-five , votes, making the majority ip the Senate- j rial District from 11,GO to JI.TG. This . sends the carpet '.swpers sjjd *o*lKw.ig'i to the shades forever. THE DIFFICULTY About twelve o’clock on the day of the election, Captain Hunter whs talking to an old blnok man on the subject of tlie elec tion in that spirit of kindness that always characterize* his intercourse with both white and black, not dreaming of a diffi | culty, but Wade's infamous fiends were j set for him. Re it remembered that hr j defeated Wade two years ago, and with i manly boldness, denounced his corruptions 1 all over the country, and this was the first j opportunity for revenge. After Captain Hunter turned to leave tho old man with i whom he was talking, Nick Thompson | bridled out, that's a darned lie, with some threat. Captain H. turned and raised his I stiek to strike, but failed to hit him. Nick being thoroughly instructed lmd his knife drawn, and stabbed him immediately, and ; contemporaneous with tho stabbing. Hen Jordan, another negro, struck him a heavy ! blow with ft stick which foiled him to the i ground; M ade was a looker-on, but open ed not his month. We think that it is clearly deduceablo the facts that Wndo and Griffin instigated the diffi culty for tho purpose of getting i troops here to intimidate tlie white people in the coming Congressional election. Our i people acted discreetly and their whole murderous plan was thwarted, for which ! Griffin wept au<l ponied out his tears in rich profusion; falsely pretending that he ! was sorry for the fate of Captiau limiter. We do not believe that Griffin planned i this brutal outrage, but we do eni neatly be lirve that he was cognizant of the fact, nnd ! through fear of his master, who i< the worst man living on earth to day, endorsed it; we give tho facts nnd from the facts we 1 form our opinions nnd submit them to oor ! readers for their consideration, and i to draw their own conclu sions. Every net of Wade's life for the last two years has proved him to lie a fiendish enemy to our people. He has | sought for nothing but to avenge his de feat two yenrssgo. Upon the most flimsy pretexts, he has violated his oath of office to persecute the peojildo of Btooks county and has blackmailed a number of good eit- I izens out of large sums of money, unrea sonable eceffs were exacted under a pretended judicial authority. We have heard and read of dare ling deeds of crime, but no tradition or history furnishes a pnrellel to tho diaboli cal villainies of this muu, Made. The dark abyss of. eternal woe has no inhabi tant that would condescend to the depths of depravity to which this desperate man has gone. The darkest, blackest volume of smoke that rises from the winders of burning demons, and lost, and damned souls, and clusters, and thickens in the blackness of darkness, and lowers and hovers with impenetrable gloom over the dismal abyss of eternal night is whiter than the brightest sumbonm that ever fell to earth, computed with tho darkness of his villainies and blackness of his sotil. And when his Godless spirit shall reach that dismal soul-harrowing nbude, and bound, and fettered, plunged into the heaving, scathing, boiling sea of moulted lead, and as the mighty flaming liquid waves shall engulf him,add his wail of de spair shall vibrate through the dungeons of the eternal prison, the blackest fiends, con scious of the'justice of tho eternal decree, and sentence will shout with a joyous ap probation, that the brightest seraph in glory might proudly imitate. Re on the alert, oh, ye fiends, it is your only hope for joy, there is none other like him; then hopefully listen to the loosing of the bolts and the gmteing of the eternal hinges as the ponderous gate shall sweep open to receive the universally- distinguished can didate Urt supreme misery. And now we leave him in the depths of the deepest ware, far beyond tire stretch of mercy or pardon, so transcendently, supremely miserable Unit the wailings of fiends and lost spirits can never reach his solitude. And crouching and scriugiug lreueath the eternal veugenee nml wrath in liis disput ing soliloquy exclaims: “M* mi***ralle, which way l fly. Infinite wrath and intinitc despair, Which way I tlv in hell, Myself aiu hell; And in the knreyt deep, A lower deep atill threatening, To devottt me opens wide To which the hell I suffer, Seems r heaven.” The eliuroh has trvnl to safe him; pious parents nml friends have prayed to heaven, bnt.Tehovn’s frowns blockaded the portals, and fevveut sighs and prayers fell buck as wasted word*. If the fountain filled with blood imd been drained iu w.willing his I H<ml it would have been left blacker than if painted with ten thousand coat* of the blackest ink. We think biv doom i* eenl ; ed aml he is turned over to the eternal ex ! ecutioner and the court of grace w ill take no further jurisdietion of his case, and as mi eternal out-law wc leave him for the present. THE ELECT FOX. Tin* l*\>tsl Ilot! The Hiooily Tnigetly ! THE FRUIT OF WADE AND GRIF FIN'S TEACHINGS. The House Burning Strategy! At an early hour on Wednesday room ing the streets were crowded with impu dent, defiant negroes, under tlie planning and drilling uf Wade nnd Griffin, nnd in response to their urgent appeals to come to the town District where thev would he in sufficient force to intimidate tho white*, nml by threats and menaces deter any ne gro from voting the Democratic ticket. They have constantly drilled tho negroes not to listen to whut any Democrat says, and if they do talk to them to dispute all tlieysnr. Assuring the negroes, so they sav. that if they got into a difficulty nml a row with the whites lhat the Unit ed States would take possession of the State nndgivethcra one half of thelaud. This they tell to the most ignorant nml i brutal negroes nnd u*e sucli base instrn mentalilies as More Knight, who has at all rimes free access to the Post-office nnd the special friend and bosom companion of Wdo nml Griffin. Ho and one Bill Trice, Willis Redich, Gregory, the shoe-maker, and Gadsden, the hypoeritidal negroe preacher, are their special agents of com mnhieation to tbe more ignorant of their brutil race, and under the instructions emennting from tlie Post-office. Griffin nnd the Post-office manipulator, Wade, Nick Thompson, nml lh-n Jordan came to town with the declared purpose of cutting some “darned" white man to pieces, nml Captain limiter, one id onr truest nml host eitix-Piis, a noble specimen of human ity. that beat Wade two years ago for the i Legislature, was tho victim of the foul; Post-office plot, and the meanest and most . ignorant negroes were the chosen instru ments to carry it into effect. And if Cap tain Hunter should die, which we do earn estly pray may not be the case, our people will charge Wiale nnd Griffin with his dentil, and at the judgement bar his blood will lie upon their filthy hands. While the difficulty was progressing the excitement was intense, and the negroes wildly infuriated, Wade, with a flirty tool from Savannah, his special Marshal; was looking on complacently, uttering not a word to silence the months or stay the i hands of liis brutal followers. And when an effort was made by tho negroes to res cue the attempted murderers from the of ficers of the law, not a word did their lenders say. Perhaps they were devising 1 another plan for their rescue, whioli soon developed itself. Between four nnd five o’clock, imd about one half hour after Wade lelt tho Court House, a house filled with fodder nnd corn on tho out skirts of the northern portion of the town was fired by a negro man wearing n light colored coat and blue pants; within a half hour after the burning, a negro man filling that j description was seen in the Post-office with \\ ade. The description of tho ne gro's dress soon became tho street talk, and Wade's companion was seen shortly after with light colored pants on. The negro was seen and described by ladies, and, of course, was not per.sued. The strntegem was too thin, the guard ! at the jail’wasimmediately strengthened by at least fifty double-barreled gnus and no ! attempt at rescue was made. We give these facts, all of which can be sustained, nnd leave to onr readers to decide whether ! the. plan originated in the brain of a white man or a negro. We present all of these facts for our readers’ consideration, believ- j ing (hat they will sustain us in tho asser tion that the brutal stabbing and beating j of Captain Hunter were the legitimate fruits of Wade and Griffin’s teachings. b'.vi J u, t r-\ COMMISSIONER WADE INTRODUCING Till' HONOR A RLE WIU.l * WATKINS TO HIS SPECIAL ASSOC I A TE AND FRIEND, WILLIS REDDICK, THE DISTINGUISHED COT TON THIEF.

A local newspaper thus reports: Men, women and children came in from a distance of thirty or forty miles, and camped around the courthouse in their tilt wagons. The father of the murdered man —who assisted at the trial—hired an extra guard for the condemned cell, and rode forty miles to town every week to see that the chain by which Mr. Bly was fastened to a post was not tampered with, was pres out, armed with a Sharpe s rifle. Beside him, at the foot of the scaffold, in a re served seat, where ranged his wife, soo-in law and three daughters.

Either three or five (one directly in the centre), or two or four, or more, are worn, oceord ing as tho face is stilted. A double row of scallops can he worn, the second row alter nating the first.
