talk with a well knov/n Republican, who
intimated ever an sHgbtly that there was
an impending disintegration of the black
wing of the Republican party in this State.
[special correspondence.]
Atlanta, Sept 0.—The recent movement
inaugurated in 8avannah, having for its
object a reorganization of our military
system,or an improvement of the present,
is attracting considerable attention. It
can and ought to be pushed to success. In
a conversation this morning Adjutant*
General Stephens expressed himself very
strongly in favor of it and hoped the move*
ment would not lag. Col. Stephens makes
a statement of general interest in this con
nection. lie has lately received many ap
plications for the formation of new com
panies nnd for the supply of arms for
them. The State of Georgia makes no ap
propriation for tho maintenance of her
military, but leaves it entirely to the
aieagrc support of the Federal govern*
Bent. From that source the State re
ceives |5,0U) to be applied to providing
arms for the Stale troops. This appropri
ation ia always quickly exhausted.
Georgia s quota of a.ms for the present
year ia already exhausted, and yet there
are numerous applications from
new companies now of .file for
arras. These applications are mainly
from the lower portion of the 8tate. While
the Adjutant General would always be
glad to answer these applications favora
bly, it is impossible for him to do so when
the demana is always so largely in excess
of the supply, 'i bis state of things ought
not to exist, but it will exist so long as the
present military system of Georgia is main
tained.
The white oflice-holders who are now run
ning with the Arthur administration on
the shoulders of the Georgia negro,
it is hinted, are beginning to see
shadows on the wall. In comparatively a
abort while Arthur will step down and out,
and his influence with the next adminis
tration, whether it bo Cleveland or Blaine,
will be practically the same. His bench-
men now muat build their hopes of the fu
ture on the success of Blaine, and will per
force curry favor with the alleged pluu-ed
force curry favor with the alleged piuaeu
knight. If it be true as intimated some
itlrae since in this correspondence thatl
Blaine and Logan have little love for the
nigger, and that Blaine ia in sympathy with
the little coterie in the State known as
Whig or white Republicans, then the proper
move of the leaders of the negro wing of
OUR MILITARY ORGANIZATION.
The Adjutant-General has furnished me
with a complete roster of our military
organization as it now exists. It may be
of some interest, in view of the present
discussion of our military affairs. From
its appearance on paper it is certainly
strong and vigorous enough to warrant the
State in giving it some kind of support and
encouragement. Under a more generous
system Georgia can make it one of the
finest military organizations in the whole
country.

Mr. Harry Hall, one of the distributing

before yesterday. He had been to the
country and whs returning in a wagon
when he suddenly expired.
Yesterday, in my letter, was noted a re
port of a dispatch said to have been re
ceived here from the Columbus Stars, ask
ing for dates for a series of games here
with the Atlantas. and agreeing that Col
lins should not come.
Since 1 have been shown a dispatch from
Cjlumbus that the Stars had no intention
of playing here, but if they should, Collins
would play. That question is, therefore,
settled.

General.” asked the reporter, “what are
your views with regard to the success of
the British expedition about to start from
Egypt under Lord Wolseley ?”
•Tdo not think there is any doubt about
its eventual success.”
“Do you think the force with him auf
ficient to do more than relieve Gordon?”
•‘Certainly not to hold the country to
which he is going for any loog time; but
by joining his forces with those of Gordon
in Khartoum he may possibly be able to
relieve the other military poats scattered
along the White Nile and its tributaries in
case they are not captured before his ar
rival. It ia not impossible, too, that he
may see bis way to opening the road from
Berber toSuakira by way of Kokreb, which
would be an immense advantage to him in
any ulterior operations.”
"Is it your opinion that the expedition
w>ll reach Klitrtoum in time?”
“It is. The force is to my mind likely to
reach Assouan by October 1. The Nile is
now rising, and by that date the river will be
In fine boating condition. With his three
thousand boatmen. Lord Wolseley will be
able to pass the cataracts between Assou-
an and El Debbe, and also overcome the ad
verse current of the Nile. Fiom El Deb
be he will have to push across 175 miles of
desert to Shendy, where he will again
strike the Ni'e 100 miles from Khartoum,
and where he will be within easy reach of
Gordon's boats. My opinion is that Gen
eral Wolseley will tie able to open com
munication with Gordon by about the
middle of November."
‘ Still I presume you believe he will en
counter great difficulties, do you not? ’
* Undoubtedly. Under the best of cir
cumstances the task before him is a Her
culean one. To move even a small force
from Wady Haifa to Khartoum is an ardu
ous business; but to move such a body of
men as Wolseley has under him is a tre
mendous task. He has not only to over
come the difficulties presented by the cata
racts and the Nile current, but he has to
fight the climate. Presumably, however,
he will do a great, deal of his inarching at
night As to the tribes along bis route, it
is not likely they will give him much trou
ble. His qualities are known, and the force
with him are too formidable to warrant the
supposition that the tribes on his road will

“Do you believe the eventual abandon
ment of the Soudaa by England proba-
hl«?“ *
I do not. It looks to me as though tbe
sending of Wolieley with so large a force
foreshadows a determination on the part
of the British to hold Khartoum at least.
They will hardly consent to turn over that
vast country, the Soudan,to the slave hun
ters as a preserve. Then, it must be re
membered, the trade of the Soudan is
very great, and under England might be
indefinitely expanded. To control it she
would need only a railway between Berber
and Suakiiu, which I anould not be sur-
■riied to see projected and eventually
uilt. Her possession of Massowab
points also to the ultimate absorption of
Abyssinia.”
“It is hardly necessary, then. General,
to suggest that you do not look forward t
tue evacuation of Egypt by the English ?*'
“Certainly not. My fixed opinion has
been that, once established in Egypt, Eng
land would not relinquish her hold on it.
I have never attached any seriousneoa to
her talk about withdrawing her army from
that country. The control of the Suez Ca
nal is as important to her almost as the
control of the month of the Thames. If
she withdrew from Egypt the Khedive’s
government would go down before the ha
tred of the Arab population and the safety
of the canal be jeopardized. Neither she
nor the rest of the commercial world could
afford to run this rink. Even if the Mahdi
had not appeared, other cogent lessons
would have been found for her occupation
of the country, in which I think she has

Greater Glories Than They Have
at Home.
Detroit Free Press.
Come, now, my lad, but you want to run
away. No boy ever yet reached the age
of 15 without having several times firmly
resolved to leave home. When a boy has
made up his mind to a thing of this sort he
ought to carry it out by all means. The
flrsc step In the programme is to begin
saving up bread and meat. When you
hive a bushel or so of provisions hidden
the barn or under the woodshed, >on
are ready for tbe battle wi>h tbe cold world.
Make your start at night. This will pre
vent the sun from tanuing your complex
ion, and you will be quite certain of the
company of a tramp or two.
Some boys leave a note pinned to the pil
low of their bed. This note goes on to say
that the boy has been jawed, bulldozed,
starved, pounded and knocked down and
dragged out until he has made up his mind
to sever the connection. He will never be
heard of more. It is probably the best
way to leave a note of this kind, as the
family are then made to fully realize their
cruelty in driving the poor boy out among
strangers.
When you have packed your little bun
dle and are off it will be well to settle upon
some plan for the future. Perhaps you
want to be a sailor? Nothing i9 easier.
Make your way to some lake or seai>ort
and most any captain will tako you. if be
can’t disgust you with the sailoring busi
ness in about a week, tar buckets, seasick
ness, poor provisions and a rope's end will
be called npon to assist him.
Perhaps you want to become a mighty
limiter? Mighty hunters are not made in
few days or weeks. You want to begin
iy letting your hair and linger nails grow,
feeping in a swamp and wasting$20 worth
of ammunition to kill a 10 cent chipmunk.
If you have decided to become a hank
clerk, well and good. Make tracks for the
ne vrrst city, ana tbe fjrst batik you enter
will jump at the chance of employing you
at a salary of 1200 per month. If it should
so happen that tbe bank didn't do any
jumping as you made your application,
you can console yourseif with tne reflec
Uon that it is about to bust.
But, speaking in all seriousne*. my boy,
if I had a dozen sons I should be glad tc
have each and every one of them take his
turn at running away from home. It H

I met a gentleman this morning just re

the beat curetn the world for that disease
called "swell-head.” There's a heop of
romance in tiie idea of running away.
Yon think of tbe sparkling sea, tbe green
prairies, coral strands, robbers’ caves and
luirates' treasures. You feel that you
know so much more than your father that
litis a was'e of brains for both of you
to remain in the same bouse. You
have been forced to school, and have been
ordered to split wood and go to tbe gro
eery after butter like a common slave.
Don't stand it soy longer! Pick up your
duds and leave the bouse and go forth into
the world. 1
W hat I Conte to a full stop in the road
before you ore a mile awayl You’ve got
a peck or more of sour meat snd mouldy
bread in a pillow esse, seventeen cents in
yonr pocket, snd just think bow your
father and mother have misused you at
borne I Tbe romance begins to wear off, I
ah! You don’t care halt as much about
mermaids and palm groves and pirate
ships as yon did an hour ago. You hate
to leave mother after all, and perhaps
father Isn't so ranch to blame for hotting
you around. Come to think it oil over,
perhaps you'd better return home and try
and stand it for a few more weeks. ■

have picked oar bundles and slid out to
escape parental tyranny. Eight out of ten
of us hare slipped back again, too, sod the
experience was the right sort ot medicine
for the disease. Any time yon come to
feel that yon are a pour, overworked and
downtrodden boy. and that if you only bad

Tha Status of Mr. Conklins—A Slgnlft
cant Visit.
npecial to Ihe Tlmes-DemecnU.
WasaixoTos, September 3.—The status
of Mr. Couk'ing in the present campaign
hoi been the subject ot a great deal of
•peculation. Tbe only thing authentic in
the premises is his letter, written recently,
in which be declined to he enrolled is a
member of the Blaine and Logan club. In
that letter, be stent no farther than to ex
prere a desire to bs let alone, a sentiment
which sound-d Strangs enough to those
who remembered bow and by whom
tbe New York Senator was driven ont of
politic*, and wbat a finely developed spirit
tor getting even he once possessed.
The call of Georg* C. Gorham on Gov.
Cleveland at Albany on yesterday has
brought up tbe subject afresh again, and
has led some people to tbe optuion that
political significance attaches to it. Mr.
Gorham is a Republican of tbe stalwart
•tripe, a dose and trusted friend of Mr
I',inkling, snd defended him vlgoroatl;
against the attacks of Halstead, Reid anu
company, when they were dally voicirg
tbe wrath of Garfield and Blaine ip the bit
ter fight of three years ago.
Then Mr. Gorham has a grievance of his
own. It waa by ths same crowd thst he
waa afterward defeated for secretary of the
Senate, and for the very reason that he had
championed Mr. Conkltng. It has notbseu
one of Mr. Gorham's habits in past cam
paigns to seek the acquaintance of Ihe bead
of tbe Democratic ticket.

Blaine's friends thought Cleveland good
enough for Governor. Perhaps there are
Republicans who think him good enough
for President. It is wondered if Mr. Gor
