ADOPTED BY THE STATE CONVENTION, Atlanta, July 4th, 1867. Whexia*, We, humbly acknowledging our de pendence upon an overruling Providence, who shapes the destinies ol men’and nations, thank Al- migbty God for having, through agencies and in strumentalities in His wisdom selected, preserved our Government when its deepest foundations were being shaken by the mighty upbeavings of • the recent rebellion. And W hereas, The loyal men of Georgia desire the earliest practicable settlement of the disturlied condition of the country: and whereas, we believe that the establishment of justice is essential to en- , luring peace, that patriotism should be exalted I as a virtue, and it is the duty of the State to cher ish all its people; and whereas, those who assert these principles are called Republicans, through out the Uuion. Therefore, : Resolved, 1st. That we adopt the name of the Union Republican party of Georgia, and declare our selves in alliance'with the National Republican party of the Union, and for the unconditional sup- t port of the Union of these States. Resolved, 2. That we pledge our hearty suffer, tt> the reconstruction measures of the Congress of tho United States. Resolved. S. That it is the duty of the State to ! educate all her children, and to that end, we rc- • commend the establishment of a general system i of free schools. Resolved. 4. That the Union Republican Party is : identified in its history and by its essential prin- I ciples with the rights, the interests and the digni- i ty of labor, uud is in sympathy with the toiling i masses of society, and that the working men of i Georgia will receive at its hands every encourage ment and assistance that may be necessary to pro ject their full rights; an.l, that in the mainten ance of the position taken and the principles I we have this day avowed, we cordially invite the J co-operation of all citizens, without regard to their ; political antecedents. Resolved, 5. That the Union Republican Party ! of the State of Georgia pledges iti-elf to maintain I the free and legal rights of ail men, and to ubide by the prescribed terms of restoration, in | electing to office those men only who can comply. ! in all respects, with the requirements of the Acts oi | Congress, and who prefer the Government of the i United States to any other that could ’.io framed. Dangerous Folly.—Kli Steelman call ed upon Miss Rebecca McCaddon, in Zanes ville, Ohio, recently. The lady, after some conversation, went to a bureau, took out a revolver, pointed it—in fur., of course—at her lover, who was lying upon a sofa, and accidentally pulled trigger. The piece, to her great astonishment, was discharged, lodging a bullet in the young man’s breast, just below the heart. The wound is dan gerous. The lady didn't believe the pistol was loaded, and is in great distress at the result of her folly. Hopeful Indication.—Impartial Suf frage and Amnesty will yet be the rule in the United States, but not for a season yet. We notice that the Albany Evening Journ al comes out strongly in favor of incorpor ating the principle of impartial manhood suffrage upon the platform of the New York Republican Convention at Syracuse. The Journal is well understood to be Mr. Seward’s organ. New Hotel in Chattanooga.—The Union, of the ‘27th, learns that Mr. Spencer will commence building a first class hotel upon the ruins of the Crutchfield House, as soon as the business of the Crutchfield nouse is settled with the Insurance Com panies. A good hotel will always be profitable at that stand. North Georgia.—The editor of the Chattanooga Union, who has recently vis ited Atlanta, says: A trip over the Western and Atlantic Railroad to Atlanta, has convinced us that the people in that section of country, how ever great thier political troubles may lie, will no longer suffer for want of food. The corn fields were extensive and the yield appeared to be excellent. Here and there the white cotton bolls were unfolding themselves, and in one instance we saw the negroes gathering the dethroned king as in oluen times; but corn seemed the prin cipal crop, and large fields of it were stand ing on every side. % The people of Georgia are doing wisely, in making themselves independent of the world for a subsis tence. Washington, Sept. 28.—The Fraxer, Trenholm & Co. settlement U entirely sat isfactory to this Government. The defen dants’ counsel acknowledge the coirectneea of the principles claimed by the Govern ment, and have provided for securing the property claimed. Further action, how ever, is necessary in the Federal and British courts. Judge Underwood aud Attorney Chand ler are consulting relative to the trial of Mr. Davis, whose friends and bondsmen represent him as being anxious for trial. Congressman Shanks has gone to Rich mond in pursuit of evidence regarding the treatment of Federal prisoners. Constantinople, Sept. 27.—The Sultan refuses the Czar's demands. The Uzaijj declines meeting the fMiltan personally, having nothin# agreeable to say. There is a large party in Greece in favor of the King's deposition, and have issued a proclamation favoring a Republic under protectorate of, or annexation to the Uni ted States. Florence, Sept. 27.—Garibaldi's parti sans are tumultuous in various parts of Italy. It is reported that tlie King is about pro claiming an extraordinary session of Par liament. . — Washington College, at Lcxingto :. Ya.. opened on tlie 18th. with 250>tudcnts; and 231 pupils reporttxl at the Military In stitute, in that place. The Cotton Crop in Eastern and Mid dle Georgia—Business Prospects.—A cor respondent of the New York Time-*, wri ting from Augusta, Sept. 20th, says: Tito, iniury to the crops by the recent rain has been much greater and more wide spread than was supposed. In the south western portion of the State, which i> the principal cotton region, the damage has been very extensive. 1 have received ac counts from several counties, upon which perfect reliance may be placed, which rep resent the loss at front a fourth to a third of the crop. Where the land w:ts richest and tlie plant most luxuriant, the lndl-rot and the ravages of tlie boll-worm have been most disastrous. On some plantations where a bale of cotton to the acre was con fidently and reasonably expected, a quar ter-bale will not lie gathered. I leant also that tlie cotton which lias already I wen picked is of a very inferior quality. This and the great decline in price, and the an ticipation of a still greater decline, make planters very despondent, and create con siderable consternation among all classes who looked to the cotton crop as tho means of storing material prosperity, enabling debtors to pay their debts, and merchant-, to ply an active trade during the fall and winter.

Thk Xkohoes in Washington County— A u SceneP—We have some miserable skunks in Georgia who, to obtain office, would fathom the lowest hell of degrada tion. The Augusta correspondent of the New York Times says: The negroes of Washington county re cently adnilnistefed a very severe rebuke to an extra enthusiastic candidate for the Convention, who was seeking their suf frages and advocating perfect social, as well as political equality between tne races, even to the extent of intermarriage. When he said he would just as willingly see his daughter addressed by black as by white men, bis colored audience hooted and veiled, and refused to listen to him any longer. This occurred at a little place called Davisboro’, and caused a good deal of excitement. Cotton.—Austell & Inman, cotton and commission merchants of 62 Wall street, New York, have issued a circular showing a carefully compiled statement of the cot ton crop of the United States for the year ending September 1, 1S67. From that statement we copy tlie following remarks: Wc are not able to give our figures show ing the total crop and movement of cotton in the United Spates for the year ending September 1,1667. The receipts, as will le seen, very nearly approximate those of last year, the ttXar Teaching 2.019,271 bales, against 2,193,987 bales for tbe previous twelve months, indicatingadecrea.se in tbe receipts this year of only 174,716 bales, it would be impossible to state with accuracy what proportion of this aggregate was the product of the last year, estimates differ ing so widely with regard to the amount of the old crop not brought forward at the close of 1865-6. We think, however, we may safely take this old surplus at 300.000 bales, and shall then have left about 1,700.- 000 bales as the total products of the past season. Ti^iew year begins with unusu ally small stock in the interior, and we mast, therefore, look almost entirely to the new crop for our receipts during tne com ing twelve months.
