According to a long es¬ tablished custom, no jutper will be issued from this of¬ fice next week, it being 4 th of Jtiiy. When it is known that wc have but two holi¬ day-weeks during the year, and that recreation s need¬ ed by us, most especially during the sultry summer weather, wc do not believe any one will blame us for so doing. YV hether we have pleased or displeased, we leave our course entirely with our readers and friends to determine. We arc truly proud to say that Tiir Ad¬ vance is steadily gaining in popularity, and wc hope soon to class it with the first,-class weeklies of the State, having labored under many disadvantages during the past, but wc hope that they may be overcome in the future. Adieu until July Uth, when we shall commence our labors again with renewed energy. Our next issue will be printed on Tuesday, and bur publication changed to that day. A half or ad¬ vertising sheet, of course, will be issued next week. STATE NEWS. Tbc rattlesnake season ling opened well. Wild hogs are eating up green corn around Albany. Gov; Colquitt is making speeches in Southwest Georgia. Gen. Gartrcll opened his Guber¬ natorial campaign at Jonesboro. Rust has made its appearance in the cotton fields of Brooks county. Savannah had two fires on Satur¬ day, The loss was not heavy in either case. The largest, amounted to about $3,000, Mr. G. 1. Wbilden, of Baldwin county, made mid harvested 120 bushels and one peck of outs on one acre of land. An escaped monkey in Savannah, created considerable excitement, and eluded all efforts at capture. It bit a little girl seriously. A census man had a hard chase after a negro in DeKalb county to get his census and make 21c. Negro thought he wanted to arrest him. Give this country a certain cure lor corns, freckles and warts, and Presidential conventions and elec tions would not create a ripple of excitement.

Sumter Republican: Mr. Max Cohen, of Montezuma, seems to be an unlucky man on water. In 1875 he was on the Schiller when that unfortunate vessel was wrecked, and was saved in a desti¬ tute condition. Wc now learn that lie was abroa<} the ill-fated Narragansett when it collided with the Stoiiington, and barely escaped in Ills night clothes. He is rather lucky in his escapes and unlucky on his water trips. Max, at one time, was in the employ of Mr. 8. Cohen, Sr., of Augusta. The Cincinnati Convention. The Democrat*, at Cincinnati, have signally distinguished them¬ selves in the nomination of Gen. \V. S. Hancock of Pennsylvania, and Gov. English of Indiana. Gen. Hancock was a Gcnuial in the Federal Army, and was dis¬ tinguished for bravery. He is a good man, and a standard-bearer that all good Democrats may be proud ti honor and to Btand-by in the coming election. Got. English, of Indiana, the nominee for the Vice-Presidency is also a “whole team,” and tiie Democrats of the whole country arc jubilant over their prospects for beating the race. We know this is one of the strongest tickets that has been put before the people for a long time and w« should nil prepare for a “long pull, and a sure pull,” aud -core a victory in 1880. We will no doubt have a man who will take bis teat, nne that will not give over his rights for, tin* sake of a few dollars. Rally and we think you are sure to succeed. The Republicans also have a strong man in the field, and feel confident that they will elect, their nominees. With a view to this nil of the Democrat* should work quietly mid earnestly never failing to put in a word at the right time and place to further the interest of the Democratic party.

The document by wfiiich the Cxnr intimated to his subjects the decease of bis imperial consort runs thus: “We, Alexander 11. etc., I13’ God's grace, do hereby give our faithful subjects to know that it bus pleased Almighty God, in the unsearchable ways of Ilis Holy Providence, to send down upon us a grievous trial by visiting us and our whole house with boundless tribulation, for on the 22d of May, (3d of June] our dearly beloved spouse, the Empress Maria Alexanrovna, feel asleep, after a lenghthened illness, which bad for long continued to create apprehensions.

It will he the duty of tnat convention to inspect, scrutinize and examine carefully find closely the qualification and claims of each candidate anil his availability as the standard-bearer of the Democracy in the State. In doing this it will be the duty of the convention to he governed by justice, wisdom arid moderation. If this is done, a good nomination will be made—one that will give entire satisfaction to every simon pure Democrat in Georgia. Now, let us inspect the material that the convention will have to make a Governor from. Firs' * there is Hon. Rufus K. Lester, oi Savannah a young matt of fine ability and character. Gon. L. J. Gurtrel! has all the iieecssure quali¬ fications to make an honest and faithful Executive, Chief Justice Warner is as solid and’ns compe¬ tent as any Democrat; has the full confidence of his fellow-citizens; and has filled many positions of trust and honor, and filled them well. Hon. Thoinu* Hardeman, Jr., is a true lard Woking Demo¬ crat, ami has done as much for his party as any man in the Slate;—he is honest, faithful and competent. Any ot the gentlemen named above would mukoGcargia a Governor of whom her people (would be proud. Hut then we have Alfred H. Col quilt, who is jint, as competent; just as honest ; just as faithful to the State and the people as nnv of the gentlemen whose names will bo presented to the convention for nomination, lie has proven himself true to his State in war and in peace ,• lie lias defended her honor whenever it was attacked liy thcenernies of liberty, life and property, lie has made a Gover¬ nor lh„t has given the grand old State a credit and character abroad that she never had before; and peace and prosperity at home that she has not enjoyed since the war. For this he has been the worst abused man that ever lived in Georgia. His enemies have made all sorts of false charges against him in order to defeat him. If one halfofwlmi they have said of him wa* true, he ought to be a convict to-day and in the Dade coal mines, instead of being Goverunor of Georgia. For his faithfulness and fidelity to principle; for his ser vices to his country and people; for the wisdom, and moderation and economy with which he has administered the affairs of the comment Wealth; and because of the abuse ofjiad men, we believe it is the duty of every good man in Georgia to thrust the insults that that have been heaped upon this good man into the teeth of his enemies by nominating and re electing. him Governor in October next.—11.
