As tethe second point, Henry Carltor.^ays: “We can lose nothing on Jhat. The negrowr were vir tually solid for Span: before—quite as jnuch so as they Mill be this time.

Then be 1s certain to recover and trash to the finish it the lead before they can gather themselves together. Tnat they will not do this Leer tain from the -earn- estnew with which they hart gone into the S'gfrt. The odds are, therefore, against Mr. Speer. I had a talk with a gentleman that I consider sht best authority on the seventh district. He said; “Stephens will carry the district by 2,000 majority, and probably S.teU. This is assured beyond doubt." “What about Felton?" "He will be beaten by quite as big a majority. His losses In Cobb and Cherokee have been large, and in Murray especially so. He will not make one vote gain in a single county over his last year’snee. The people are tired of the doctor, and of the strife and dissensions that have disturbed the district ever since he first came to the front. They will set tle the thing definitely this time." i asked what effect the disclosures of the Collins Utter would have. “It will hurt. Collins is an honest man and a republican of personal character. The people will be very much inclined to believe what he said about the matter. Once acknowledge that as true, and it puts Dr. Felton squarely in the republican ranks.” Touching Atlanta's cotton receipts for the present GoacruorColqoitUioavesoB Tuesday tosnect the trustors of the Slatan^ducasiciml fund.

You eveu went so far os to tell Parker’s dog that you loved her with all your heart, and that when you came to die if you could only lay your head ou Parker's dog's bosom you could breathe your life out sweetly there. Then you asked Parker’s dog to have another plate oi ice cream, and if the watch you had given her kept good time.

It is the morning of the 12th of April, 1861—' the most momentous morning in the history of America. Fifteen thousand citizens of Charleston have crowded down to the esplanade, and every man has his face turned toward the sea. To the right, as they look down the harbor, is Morris island; to the left Sullivan's, and midway between Is Fort Sum ter, grim and silent, and not even showing a flag. The great crowd trembles with excitement and speaks in whisper* A bloody civil war is about to open. The young men are ready to hurrah over the prospect, but the older ones look grave as they realize what war meana Now tiie gray mist creeps up from the waters of the harbor and floats away, and the eastern horizon becomes tinged with red. You can see more plain ly now. At the head of .Sullivan’s island is the floating Iron battery, and it is to fire the first gun Its echoes will awaken the huge Iron monsters asleep in Forts Moultrie and Johnson, at Cummings point, at Point Pleasant, and other localities. There is a flag over each confederate fort and battery, and with a good glass you can see men on the ram parts. Silence now! In the floating battery is an old. gray-haired man—Edmund Ruffin. He has sought the privilege of firing the first gun of the war. The lanyard he holds in his hand is the rope which will ring the bell of destiny. When that bell strikes a mighty republic will fall in fragments, and It will take the blood of a hundred battles to cement it. “Boom!" The bell has struck. At the word the old man has pulled the lanyard, and a solid shot whirrs across the water and strikes the brick wall of Fort Sumter with a heavy thud. For a long minute no oue speaks. The echoes of that gun are fraugh with mighty issues-the whirr of that shot meant death to a quarter of a million soldiers. As the thunder rolls up and down the harbor and die* away twenty tLousand people cheer. The war ha* begun. Th-re can be no backward step now. Old and young cheer and shout and shake hands and feel a glad relief.
