Chautauqua Assembly, which gathers in Albany annually, to greet the appearance of the Governor with “Dixie,” the air of which is familiar to every loyal Southern heart. On other occasions of significance also, the as sembled multitudes Indulge in this song of songs, wliioh never grows old to Southern patriots. On one occasion, however, (I think it was tbe Becond assemblage of the Chautauqua) when the Governor called for “Dixie,” not a Southern voice re sponded to the call; but a Northern Indy, who was a member of the chorus, sang alone nnd to the well-known air, “I wish I was in Dixie.” Shv hap pened to know n great part of the song, and after repeating It, the chorus sang it, though it brought n blush to the cheek of many who knew so little of the national song whloh should have been nearest their lienrts. It is to be hoped thnt our people will be as ready in the case of another emergency, ns the Northerners are when a onll is made for “Yankee Doodle.” in a Station’s songs Hostile sentiment of the people ns a Nation They nre ns snored nnd inviolable ns Nation’s ling.

Aux Arines,” of the “Marsellnise,” the stalwart Redcoat with Ills “God save the Queen,” the clever Yankee with his “Yankee Doodle,” or most of nil, onr beloved Houthern forces with their “Away down In Dixie,” these soul stirring nntionnl songs linve added more inspiration to the hearts of brnve warriors than the antlolprtion of hundred victories. And now, when arms have been laid aside, and peace reigns in every laud, you have but to raise the national anthem of a people* to onll forth a universal shout from the assembled multitudes thnt will make ‘’The troubled Tilicr tremble To hear ihe voidicuthni or the round.. Mode in her eoncuve shore.” In the air of “Dixie” is wrapt the sentiment of the South and the Houthern people. Hverybody knows the air, nml everybody should know the words, for however simple they may be they nre dear to Houthern henrts, as the song which once inspired her heroes, nml led many n soldier band who wore the gtay, to viotory in her cause.

She didn’t append her real name as an evidence of good faith to the editor. We cannot publish com munications without knowing where they come from. Only yesterday we were called upon to produce the origi nal of a letter that had recently ap peared in the Herald, and it would have been very embarrassing to the editor if he had been unprepared for the demand and hid been forced to admit that he had published an anony mous communication without knowing where it came from or who was resnon- lim fnr If * sible to him for it, Tom Watson says it will be hard for some Democrats to explain why a Re publican Senate passed the silver bill while a Democratic House failed to do’ so. And 'jom is right. Speaking of one of Georgia’s most prominent oitizens, and a man who has always taken a straightout stand for true Demooraoy, as well as one who has been foremost in tbe servioe of his State, the Baltimore Sun says: “Hon. Henry G. Turner, of Georgia, has been renominnted for Congress bv acclama tion. ThU Is a proper recognition of the services of one of the ablest men in the House of Representatives. He is an honor to his State and to the Demo cratic party." .*. Mr. Fulton Colville, a prominent young lawyer of Atlanta, Is in the race for tlie Legislature from Fulton. There is a great discussion going on just at present in regard to the taxes imposed upon manufacturers in the olty of Atlanta. It is said that they paid three per cent, of the total taxes, and the consequence is that some ofL. them are shutting down. This will^l never do. The South needs all the en terprising manufacturers she can get, and Atlanta should, by all means, en courage them. Papers all over the State are endors ing tlie nomination of Hon. Carter Tate, ot Piokens, for Congress from the Ninth. He is a sure winner, and Tom Winn must, without doubt, hustle bis Congressional stumpB if he expeots even a complimentary vote. EBOIH DECATUR.

Ben. E. Russell, and we beg to assure you that whenever it is within our power to promote your in terests, we stand ready to do so, as we will ever be faithful to all who standi in the breaoh in this perilous hour to true Democracy. Mr. O. B. Stevens,after a caucus with his clansmen in Thomas county, made n clandestine and secret movement through our county. He never showed up at any public gathering. Upon the contrary he was found at a cow pen gap on Spring Creek, and insisted that the parties to whom he made himself known should not let Ben. E. Russell know that he was in the county. He came for the purpose of meeting the Executive Committee, and to try and throttle the voice of the people, and tried to induoe them to have no pri mary election, but have tlie delegation system instead, as Decatur will go when left to the primaries from five to six hundred for Ben. E. Russell. The Democrats in Decatur are alive. They will never cease work until they fall in the last ditoh, and there they will expeot to see Ben. E. Russell with the staff of Democracy in his hand, and the grand old banner enfolding him. Wo send this communication for you- to use as you see fit.

Another PlstoMToler To In Trouble. , Georgia Davis, a Negro woman liv ing in East Dougherty, swore out two warrants against Sam Davis, another Negro, who, from the nature of the case, seems to be a dangerous citizen. It seems that Sam belongs to the gang known as “pistol toters,” and not only that, but he is not careful about keeping it closely concealed. He some times delights in pointing it threaten- * n ffly at his neighbors. The result of Sam’s proolivlties was that one warrant was sworn out for him before Magistrate Greer for car rying concealed weapons, and one for pointing a pistol at another. Bailiff Massey, armed with aforesaid war rants, went out in the country about twelve miles, and brought Sam in. He is now safely lo d 8e d in Jail where he will await trial, unless he Is released in the meantime on bond. The Georgia editors are back from Boston, ready to go to turning the old hand-press again and chasing delin- quent subscribers. Col. Buck deolares that there will be no fusion between the Republicans and Third Partyltes in Georgia.
