With profound regret which will be shared by every true son and daughter ot Georgia, we learn the sudden, death in New York on the morning of Friday, the 9th instant, of General Howell Cobb. It is but a few days since he was among us full of life and vigor and hope, exerting his great intellect and raising his pow erful voice for the benefit of the State and sec tion which he ban served so long and ably, and which be lov ed so well and devotedly, and now we learn that be is gone beuce to return no more forever 1 General Cobb left his home in Athens in tbe latter part ot September, accompanied by Mrs. Cobb and his daughter, to visit Niagara Falls, and make a short tour in Canada. He was not in robust health, having suffered for some time past lrom dyspepsia; but nobody supposed that his ailment was of a serious character. The information we have as to the maimer of his death is contained in a few words, and is found in our telegraphic columns. His family were notified ot their irreparable loss by a telegram from Dr. R. D. Moore, of Athens, (who happened to be in New York,) in which, the fact alone of the Geo-gj erul’s death was stated. Heartily and deeply do we sympathize witL the afflicted family of the illustrious deceased. To them the affliction is crushing. A more af-j fectionale husband, father, and brother did not] exist. He was the light and joy of his family circle, to whom every member looked up with tender reverence aDd unbounded love. We] knew him well and intimately. We have seen him in prosperity and in adversity. We have seen the great qualities ot his head and heaitj tried by both extremes of fortune, aud we have always found him the same, never unduly elated by success nor depressed by defeat, emiueutly gifted, and eminently practical, looking always to the good of his country, and devoting to her service the best energies of his mind and body J At a future day we propose to publish a more extended obituary notice of this great Georgian, born and educated on the soil of Georgia, and the best years of whose life have been spent in her service, in the highest offices which it was| in the power of the people to bestow upon him The blow will be deeply felt throughout the] State. In timds like these we could ill spare so sagacious a counselor, so experienced a states man, so true a patriot. & The Spanish Revolution. The work of revolution in Spain has been' short, sharp, and decisive. It is but a few days since the cable brought across the Atlantic a* foggy dispatch telling of an insurrection in some, of the Spanish provinces, and mixing up in] hopeless confusion the geographical description [of the theatre of the revolt, and ihe names of the participants in the struggle; and now we learn that the Queen is a fugitive and an exile— that her people, army, navy, and even her minis-' ters, have pronounced against her—and that the [dethronement of the reigniDg house is a fixed fact. Whether the Junta which has been summon-] |ed to assemble, and the Provisional Govern ment will decide upon a Republican form of government or a Constitutional Monarchy, is a mere matter of conjecture. The probabilties are said to be in favor of the Monarchy, and that the Duke of Montpensier, son of Louis Phillipe ot France, and married to the younger! sister of the Queen Isabella, will be likely to be the choice oi Spain. In any event, the last reigning House ofS Bourbon has disappeared. First, the French! Bourbons were ejected, next, the Italian Bour-| bons were discharged, and now the Spanish Bourbons are turned out. But a short time ago, this House ruled three great kingdoms,! land were sovereigns over almost the entire Latin! population of Europe, and over many thousands] who dwelt in their colonies on this continent They were Kings and Queens not by the “popu-] lar will,” but by “divine right,” and they neverj omitted an opportunity to make the distinction j by never at any moment paying the least heed to the will of their people. Hence, Charles X.] of France, died an exile in Scotland. Francis II. of Naples, is now an exile in the Pontifical States; and Isabella II. of Spain, is an exile in aFrench Castle which the French Emperor has placed.at her disposal. The Bourbons have filled many a page in the! history of France, from the time that Henryl IX “of Navarre” mounted the French throw as first ot the line of Bourbon, down to the 24th [of February, 1848, when Louis Philippe ran away from Paris in disguise. The Spanish Bourbons began with Philip Yj grandson of the great Louis XIV, and except! the shore time that Joseph Bonaparte was said to be King of Spain, they have occupied the' throne until Queen Isabella’s forcible exit. The Neapolitan Bourbons were a branch ofi [the Spanish branch. Don Carlos, third son of Philip Y of Spain, wa9 the first Bourbon King! !of the Two Sicilies, and when he became King! of Spain he gave bis Neapolitan crown to his] third son Ferdinand from whom are descended the line of Italian Bourbons of whom “Bomba” of Naples was one, and the exiled Francis II is the last. None of the family in modern times has done! anything to commend, while many have done, much to condemn, of the worst of them, perhaps, Isabella of Spain is the most reprehensible both; as a sovereign and as a woman. Her misrule! lias not been more flagrant than her immorality, and the universal odium in which she is held is evidenced by the fact that in her adversity she] was immediately abandoned by all classes, and (scarcely a struggle made in her behalf. Th army aud the navy first abandoned her, then her ministers dropped off in rapid succession and joined tbe revolutionists, then the high no bility and tbe bishops fell away, then the people] jot Spain from the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean] cri*id “ down with Isabella,” and finally she was] [snubbed by “tbe nephew of the Corsican ad veil turer,” and assigned* charitable quarters in anj out-of-the-way chateau. Exit the last Bourbon !j you pecuniarily, but offef this as a mento that you may always be mindful oi the high place you have taken in- our hearts, To which Mr. Harden replied : Gentlemen—I have the honor to acknowl edge the reception of a superb silver set as a testimonial of your very high esteem. To me this is indeed gratifying, as members of a de partment over which it is my fortune to preside. Your bearing toward me has ever been cour teous and respectful. I have studied to be equal to the many demands that the duties of the office imposed, and if at any time I have mani fested a spirit of impatience, 1 beg you to at- iis fate, rational to the end—which he met with® sublime courage and resignation. || Gen. Hindman was the great leader of thej] Democracy of the State, and was dealing such' lieavy blows against Radicalism, as to mark him as the most formidable opponent. But whatever the motives which instigated this foul:and das tardly deed, the state of the public mind and the’ violence done and threatened, lead to the belief] that he has fallen a victim to the vindictive party antagonism which menaces the peace of the] country. j We shall not, in this connection, speak of the and character of the deceased. Our grief is too] deep to attempt the eulogium appropriate to the 1 memory ot this great man. His death is a pub-| lie calamity. No words can add to his fame, or New Advertisements. FOB, SALE.

A delegation from the Seymour Circle Broth erhood of the Union waited upon the President this afternoon, who received them cordially in the East Room, where an address was made by ]A. P. Gibbs, of Philadelphia, to which, tbe Pres ident responded iu a brief address, in which he !said that he himself was a mechanic and gloried [in it. About forty persons were in the defega-| tion. GOV.

He had an interviewi with the President this afternoon. EVARTS. The Attorney General was again at his office] [to-day, looking refreshed. He visited the Pres ident and Secretary Seward this afternoon. THE NEW YORK MEETING. The admirable letters of Gen. McClellan and Secretary Welles to the New York meeting ot] October 3, are having a splendid effect. The unequivocal stand taken by these gentlemen in favor of the Democratic caudidates troubles the Radicals greatly. SPANISH RELATIONS. Inquiries at the State Department to-day de-[ velope nothing new with reference to our rela tions with Spain. It is probable that the defac-j to government will be recognized at an early] day, should the present status ot Spain be main tained. CUBA. It is almost certain that Secretary Seward will prevail upon the President to recommend to Congress the purchase of Cuba. The Secretary !ol State is ambitious to add Cuba and St.j [Thomas to tbe United States before retiriug from office. BROKEN STICK. Modest Ben Butler, it is said, counts upon tbe upport ot many Democrats in bis district by reason of liis greenback policy. The pill is a ugar-coated one, but is entirely too nauseous for Democrats to swallow when the delectable Ben is attached to it. INTEREST ON THE DEBT. The New York Tribune, in a recent issue, 1 thinks that the interest on the public debt ought] to be reduced to less than six per cent. This entiment, if expressed by a Democratic journal,' would sound like repudiation. It is probable that something of the kind will be attempted when Congress meets. umus with mourning, and bow in silence and! sorrow to the dreadful stroke which has removed! from our midst one who was a hero in peace orf war, “ A combination, and a form, indeed. Where every God did seem to set hie seal, To g.ve the world assurance of a man.” At some other time when we feel more ade-f quate to the task, we shall endeavor to pay such! tribute to his memory as the splendor of his] talents, and the nationality of his reputation,] evoke lrom every heart. BY TELEtf KAPIL YORK i.sSOCIATED PRESS DISPA TCHA J Political News from New York. Everyday we receive indications of a public and private nature which increase our confi dence in tbe triumph of the democratic cause! n November. We have been just favored by a view ot a pri vate letter, to a friend of ours from a distin guished citizen now in New York, aud in a posi tion to know whereof he writes. He says thalj the Democrats of Pennsylvania. Ohio, and In diana are most confident of success, and tha! Seymour’s election in November is counted on with certainty. He describes the demonstration on the 2d iusiant in welcome of General Mc Clellan as excelling in numbers and enthusiasm anything that be ever saw iu tbe shape of a popu lar outpouring in New York. The demonstra tion was not avo-wedly a Democratic affair, but it was so, and this gave it point and significance. The graud Democratic gathering which took place on the 5th, and of which we have received a brief telegraphic description, was got up on a scale of unrivalled magnificence. It was design ed to eclipse every political gathering, and be a memorable display of the popular will. Loss of Life by the Flood.—It affords usj pain to state that Mr. Columbus Belcher, while endeavoring to cross the Pataula creek, on fc>ab-| bath last near this city, in his buggy, was un fortunately swept from his seat and lost in the] angry waste of waters. His remains were washed ashore and after-j wards recovered. Mr. Belcher was an estimable citizen, and] leaves a wife and family to mourn his loss.—J Cuthbert Appeal. Columbus has a rope manufactory, and has! shipped within the last lew months 250,000 lns| of good hemp rope, besides a considerable! quantity taken by the Columbus merchauts.- Large quantities of cotton rope are also. matqi-J factured there. rooms Democratic Central Executive Committee, Atlanta, Ga., October 8,1868. To the Democratic Party of Georgia : It is important, in the approaching election for Electors of President and Vice President of the Uuited States, to exclude illegal votes from] the ballot box. For the purpose of guarding as] effectually, as possible, against such votes, the Democratic Clubs in the several counties iu this! State are requested to appoint two or more] [challengers lor each precinct and place of votiu It is desired that challengers be appointed,] who know personally the voters residing in the vicinity of the precincts to which they may be] 'assigned for duty, and that all strangers and persons not known to be entitled to vote, be challenged upon offering to vote, and requir-i [ed to take tbe oaths prescribed by the Constitu tion aud election laws. It is not intended or ex pected that captious challenges should be made challenges should be made only iu cases of [doubt, or when it is well known that the persons] offering to vote are not entitled. It is earnestly requested that no freedman, who] is entitled to the right of suffrage be obstructed in the exercise ot that right. According to the election laws ot this State] [the managers of the election must be justices ot [the peace, and freeholders. From the necessity of the case the management of the election will be in the hands of white men. But one day is] allowed for the election, and in many of the couu ties, the number of voters will be largely increased] over previous elections, so much so, as to givi room tor doubts whether all will have an op-j portunity to vote, and this may cause the polls] to be crowded to the exclusion of some of th voters. Under atich circumstances there may he] danger ot conflicts between the two races, and riots may be the consequence. To avoid collisions! 'and riots, and in order that the election may be ■conducted fairly, the managers are especially re quested to make their arrangements, so that all! who are entitled to vote shall have an opportu nity of voting without being crowded or jostled trom the polls. This will be necessary in order to preserve the public peace. Let all have an opportunity to vote without hindrance or ob struction, who possess the requisite qualifications managers of the election, but make these sug estions, that the public peace may be preserved, and riots avoided.
