MAMGB8T CITY CIBCULA TION. fealejlce Official Advertiser, OFFICIAL PAPER FOR TH1 COUNTIES OF Baldwin, Fayotto, Jasper, Bartow, Forsyth, Monroe, Bibb, Fulton, Murray, Gordon, Newton, Carroll, Greene, Paulding, Chattooga, Owlanett, Polk, Clayton, HarraUon, Spalding, Cobb, Heard, Sumter, Dade, Henry, Upton. DeKalb, ATLANTA, CrJ^.l FRIDAY MORNING::::rOCTOBER 26- Fob o» Against Convention.—Severs! of the Democratic anti-Rcconstrnetion journals and leaders in this State, favor the policy of neither voting for or against Convention. Their idea is to vote only for delegates and let the issue “Convention or >’o Convention take care of itself.” A little reflection will enable any one to »eethe impracticability of this measure. The leading issue of the canvass is, Shall we Pave a State Constitutional Convention? The idea of electing delegates to the Con vention who are opposed to the Convention in almost an absurdity. Besides, Conven tion or No Convention being the leading iwoe,all ballots cast which fail to declare tbr or against Convention, amount to nothing, and will be thrown out. Tim State Road out op Debt.—We un it retand that this Road is now in funds, »nd will remit, during the present week, the full balance due the Government, amounting to about four hundred thousand dollars (*400,000.) T!»is will place the Road clear of debt; so that its future earnings can go to re plenish the Treasury of the State. This perhaps the only important railway in the South that has been able to liquidate the full amount of its obligations to the <government; and when we consider this important fact in connection with the ad ditional fact that the Road is now in better .Condition, anil has a*better supply of roll ing -lock than almost any other road South of the Potomac, it is no ordinary commen dation of its efficient management. When Maj. Wallace was appointed Superinten /lent, of this Road, he found it in a very in- <nffervnt condition; roost of the bridges were temporary and unsafe affairs; the roll ing stock was scant and of an indifferent quality, and the road was greatly in debt to the Government. ,Now it is in superior , ondition; well supplied with stock; and is < nt of debt. No higher commendation .Ntulrl Ik* pronounced in favor of the ability and efficiency of that officer. Shipping Horses Socth.—The Chatta nooga Union of yesterday says; The finest nt of horses that we have seen for a long time, passed through the city yesterday, en route for Florida. They were purchased at Fx>ui>viHe, at prices ranging from $75 to $100 each. The shipper informed uh that he rati get. on an average, $450 a pair for them in Florida, as horses and mules are ••juite scarce in that section. The Virginia Election.—The counties of Stafford and Farquier, where the anti- f’onvention party claim a majority, have, from time immemorial, been ncarl)' thrcc- fourtbs Democratic. A different result in tho^e counties was not. therefore, antici pated. Religious Revival at Chattanooga.— W «• I,-arn from the Union of yesterday that a religious revival has been in progress in that city for two weeks past. Tbe services attending the revival have been conducted hv the Rev. Mr. Phillips, with assistance by Kcv. Tbos. McCall ie. From the I and o’ Goobers. — The Knoxville Free Press notices a call from Sam Ivins recently of the Atlanta Intelli- orn -'-r. and speaks of his return from the land of “frogs lizards, seed-ticks and goo her- peas.” [Tf The 18th regiment of United States ’ rn) Infantry, who have been gnrrison- - in New Mexico, is cn route to • to be mustered out. RRCON6TRUCTION MUST PRECEDE POLITI CAL EQUAL ITT. Any reaction in Northern publie senti ment, calculated to check tbe mad career of certain extremists of the dominant party, cannot fail to exert a salutary influ ence throughout the whole country. Whilst it would be a calamity for the Government to again fall into the hands of the Destruc tive Democratic party—thereby reopening many of the national issues settled by the result of the war—it would be no less a calamity for certain extremists and im practicable leaders of tbe Federalist party, to retain their ascendancy. The late elec tions in the North may, therefore, be re garded as a timely rebuke to the rash and impracticable men who have sought to lead the Republican party, and who have lead it well nigh to ruin. Beyond this, the popular reaction in Pennsylvania and Ohio possesses little or no significance. But these hopeful indications have been very generally misinterpreted by the op ponents of Reconstruction in the Southern States. We are very apt to jump to the conclusion that, because the people of Ohio voted down universal negro suffrage in their own State, they will constrain their representatives in Congress to modify the terms proposed to the Southern States^- Our great error in this matter, originates In our failure to comprehend the real con dition of the excluded States. Ohio never seceded; never took up arms against the Government; never laid claims to recog nition as an independent power; and was never conquered and held in subjection to the authorities *of the Union. She Is, therefore, within the pale of Constitutional guarantees, and may demand the right to regulate her own laws of suffrage, Not so with Georgia. We seceded; de clared our independence of, and made war against the Government; was beaten in the field; made an unconditional surrender; and became the conquered province of the Government we sought to break up and destroy. We are, therefore, held, in ac cordance with the usages of civilized na tions, as a conquered State out of the Union. This being our real status, as de fined by one of the Judges of our own Supreme Court, we can lay claim to none of the rights and privileges of the Union until we shall have first been admitted to full membership of the Union. The terras of our admission are with the conqueror not with the vanquished; and a compli ance, on our part, with these terms must precede any demand of rights under the Federal Constitution. This i6 the stand point from which the question is viewed by the very men who voted down negro 'suffrage in Ohio; and we assume that nothing is more true than, that these same men, who voted it down in Ohio, will continue to vote it upon Georgia; and that any failure ou our part to accept tbe prerscibed terms of read- mission will result in further humiliation. The wisest course therefore for U3 to pur sue is. to get back into the Union; to do this upon the best and most expeditious terms possible; and then urge our claims to Con stitutional guarantees, and to political Equality with other members of the Union - Kendall, who has been snnie sixteen months in i..i ned to W:.shington City on . nst. _ \fr.

Fracus at Harrikox, Tb»/—The Chat tanooga Union of Tnesday, says : Shcrriff Conner lately received informa tion tiiat a party of rnen. supposed to be Jue Richie’s friends, intended to attack the Harrison prison and release him, next Thursday. The Sheriff had Ritchie muer- J\- removed Sunday night, from the llarn- H.n jail to our prison, w here he is now sate and sound. He is a desperate man. and he • ^ -i-. Lilt himself. »> hen [For the Opinion. Hon. Daniel Irwin, I notice the above distinguished gentle man has published a letter stating that he is not a candidate for the Convention.— Neither Judge Irwin nor any other mem ber of the ticket sought the place as a can dictate. If they had, they ought not to have succeeded. They were selected by the friends of reconstruction on account of their fitness for the position, and because the people need their services. The fact that Judge Irwin docs not seek the posi tion as a candidate, is a good reason, in view of his fitness for the place, why he should be elected. The Convention will no doubt meet at a time when the Judge’s labors will not conflict with his duties as a member of it. As the Judge expresses himself in favor of Convention and as I feel quite confident he will serve if elect ed, shall still support him, and am satisfied from the general expression which we hear among the friends of the Convention that his name will be retained on the ticket, and he will be elected by a very large ma jority. * • 1 State Elections Next Month.—Elec tions will be held in the following States, and on the days below set forth, in the month of November; Massachusetts.—Novembers.—Governor.

Stories about White Ants.—Travelers in the East have told some wonderful sto ries about the ravages committed by tbe white ant, but the allowing, from an En glish Magazine, are the latest: “An old story is largely credited in In dia, in regard to the voracity of the white ant. A gentleman having charge of a cheat of money, placed it on the floor, where it was speedily attaoked by these destructives, who soon annihilated the bottom of the box and bags containing the specie, which fell piece by piece into the hollows of the tenuities’ burrow just un derneath the floor where the box was placed. When the coin was demanded it was not to be found, but the attacks of the ants were incontestible. ami the story got abroad that their teeth were capable of de vouring metal. Some years afterwards, when the house was undergoing repairs, the whole sum was found several feet deep in the earth in the midst ot the ant-nest White ants once attacked a British ship of the line, the Albion. She was about to put into port in consequence, and bad to be broken up. ‘•These creatures are much relished as food by the natives of the Interior of India, as wed as by those of Africa. In India, be fore the migration of the ants, two holes are bored in the nest opposite to each other; on the leeward side, a pot is placed, which has been rubbed with aromatic herbs; on the windward side a fire is made the smoke of which drives the insects into the pots. These captured victims are then securely fastened in, dried over the fire, and ground into flour, and made into pastry which is sold to poor people, but which, if used abundantly, produces dysentery. At the time of the migration of these ants in Af rica, myriads of them fall into the water, when the natives skim off the surface with calabashes, then grill them in iron canid rons over a large fire, stirring them as cof fee is stirred. The natives eat them by handfuls, without accompaniment or other preparation, and consider them very deli cious. They are said to resemble in ta*tc sugared cream, or sweet almond paste. The Hottentots eat them very greedily when boiled, and grow plump and fat upon tbe food. They also consume the pup;e of the ants, which they call rice, on account of its resemblance to that grain. They cook these in a small quantity of water. A large nest will sometimes yield a bushel of the paupae. Another Negro Rior ix Savannah. The Savannah Republican learns that on Sunday night last, a man, named Milledge Brown, was badly beaten near the Ogee- chee river, by six or seven negroes, who assaulted him with murderous intent. Tiie particulars of the affair are as follows: It appears that Brown, a man named William Riley, and several negroes are em ployed at Abraham Sheftall’s steam saw mill, on the Ogeechee, about twelve miles from tbe city. Brown had given a negro a lead pencil, which another name Bonaparte, took and kept. Brown and Riley went up on Thursday night to see about it, and as they were coming away. “Boney” called Riley a vulgar name. Riley struck him with a piece of iron, and in return the ne gro knocked his assailant down and jump ed on him. Brown then interfered and struck “Boney” with a stick. The two then went away. Nothing more occurred until Sunday night. Brown and another man of the same name with himself, were going from the mill to the house where they live, which was but a short distance oft’, when some six or seven negroes jumped from out of the bushes along the road and as saulted Brown, one of them striking him and knocking him down with an iron handspike. His companion was seized and held so that he was unable to render any assistance. The man struck Milledge Brown several times with the spike, in flicting a severe wound upon his head. He managed to break from them and ran and hid in the bushes, and escaped in the dark ness. They hunted for him for some time, but failed to find him. He then made Ills way to Mr. Sheftall’s house and remained there all night. The parties have been arrested. The Bird of thb Tolling Bill.— Among the highest woods and deepest glens of Brazil, a sound is sometimes heard so singular that the noise seems quite un natural; it is like the distant and solemn tolling of a church bell, struck at intervals. The extraordinary noise proceeds from the Arawanila. The bird sits on the top of the highest trees in the deepest forests, and though constantly heard in the ii ost de sert places, it is vory rarely seen. It is ut terly impossible to conceive anything of more solitary character than the profound silence of the woods, broken only by the metalic and almost supernatural sound of this invisible bird, coming from tbe air and seeming to follow wherever you go. The “ Arawanda” is white, with a circle of red around its eyes; its size is about that of the tame pigeon. Vicksburg in Danger.—Vicksburg is again alarmed at the prospect of becoming an island city. The canal dug by our troops across the peninsula, opposite the eity, threatens, in time, to become the channel of tbe river. The canal failed originally because the main current struck below its head, but the rapid caving of the bank during the past two years renders it probable that Vicksburg will be left high and dry before the year 1870. The Herald, of that city, frars that the next flood will complete the diversion of the channel, and calls on the citizens to prevent the disaster by proper engineering operations. Fraa WaikinfUa, Washington, Oct. 24.—The announce ment of Gen. Marmaduke’s pardon was premature. It is on the Presiden’s table, with the Attorney General’s recommenda tion. awaiting the President’s signature. Colfax is at Cooper Institute. He advo cates impeachment, and Gen. Grant as the Radical nominee for the Presidency. General Grant has General Thomas’ re port Of his proceedings during the recent Nashville elections,covering the correspon dence between Generals Grant and Thom as and Governor Brownlow and Mayor Brown. The particulars are Inaccessible. The Retrenchment Committee have con fined themselves to the examination of books and papers. They have examined no witnesses. In the present stage of the investigation speculation as to the commit tee’s action is idle. General Grant was at work to-day. Secretary Seward was at the White House to-day. Dr. Sam Bard, of the Atlanta New Era, is in theeity. Gen. Howard has returned. The revenue receipts to-day were 9209,- s) * The Post Master General advertises for contracts under the new Postal treaty with England. A departure on alternating is contemplated. Parker reports the Dismal Swamp Canal in bad condition, with only three and a half feet water. Colfax says of Gen. Grant: He is the no blest and tbe greatest mystery. He has the pertenacity of Wellington with the dash of Napoleon, and his modesty is only equalled by his merit. Yellow Fever. Mobile.

Wilmington, Oct. 24.—Opposition to the Convention is increasing, but a majority will probably vote in favor of it. Very few negro delegates will be elected in this State, the whites having a majority of about 25000. The Conservatives will undoubted ly control the body. Departure of Senor Romero. Chalkston. Oct. 24.—Senor Romero ex pects to sail for Mexico in the steamer Wilderness about the end of the week. Richmond. Oct. 24.—Returns at General Schofield’s headquarters show conclusively that the State has voted in favor of Con vention and that it will lie Radical by 15 majority. The city elects the following Radicals after three days contest: Ilunnicutr. Judge Underwood. Morrissey and two colored members. The Radical ticket, did not receive 50 white nor the < Vmscrvative ticket 50 color ed votes in the city. The negroes voting tlie Conservative ticket were again chased away from the polls by a negro mob. Ilunnicutt’s son was arrested for tearing up Conservative tickets in the hands of ne groes at the Monroe Ward polls and sent to tbe Libby, but was suhseqently released.

Thr Destruction of a Niwbfa vice in A RK ANBAB— Gtutral Ords Brevet Major Geo. S. Pierce, Uni Army, has been tried and eonv Court-martial, convened at Camde of violating the fifty-fourth article in causing the destruction of the Constitu tion al Eagle office, at that place on the 8th of Augnst last. Tbe sentence con demned the accused “ to forfeit his month ly pay for one year, and to lie degraded in rank.’so that he shall have his name placed on tbe list of captains of infantry, and shall take rank next after the fifty captains now ne.xt below him in rank, and to be repri manded in general orders.” i.en. Ord in approving the sentence takes occasion to edify. Major Pierce in this way ; “The article in the newspaper, which provoked the accnsed to commit a peniten tiary offence, denounced exhibitions of drunken men in uniform on the streets of ('aindeu. Major Pierce seems to have been aware that untruthful criticisms does not provoke a man of sense, but Mtat newspa per comments usually are resented onlyin proportion to their fidelity to fact. The General Commanding hopes that this view of the subject will impress itself upon him, and that hereafter he will have no oc casion to feel resentment at any publica tion upon the subject of drunkenness. iy The Flathead Indians of Montana, in conjunction with one or two other tribes, have recently been committing depreda tions. and threaten a serious outbreak.— Four men have been killed and large quan tities of stock stolen by them.

Mr. Dodd says the raiders had been treated in a friendly manner by the Nava- Jbs, Dut thinks they will meet a much warmer reception if they return. He asks that the depredators be compelled to re store tbe stock stolen. Tribute of Respect.
