Registration.—The following is the num ber of registered voters up to 3, p. m., yester day : Whites 1,289 Blacks L 597 Total 2,886 New Cotton Route.—As one of # tkc evi dences of what is being accomplished by the energy and skill of tiie Georgia Railroad offi cers, we append the following article, taken from the Selma Times. This route has grown up like magic since the completion of the Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad, and the prompt ness with which the Georgia and Charleston roads perfected arrangements to bring freights this way. It is the shortest route from Selma, Alabama, to Charleston, S. C., and goods arc sent through without change of cars , and at a much less rate. We believe the advantage of this route, in distance alone, is nearly three hundred and fifty miles. Freights can now be carried with much more expedition than form erly from Charleston to New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and from these points to Rome, Chattanooga, Selma, Meridian, Vicksburg and Mobile. We are informed that more than two hundred bales of cotton are now daily shipped over this line, and very san guine expectations are entertained of increas ing the number in a short time to four or five hundred. We are more than pleased to chroni cle this evidence of enterprise and prosperity, and trust, eie long, to see many more such un der full operation : “ We,h:ul the pleasure of meeting, last eveur ing, T. Lyons, Esq., the energetic and popular freight agent of I lie Georgia Railroad, who brought through with him yesterday to this city ten eais to mu in the through line from Selma to Charleston, ami we are glad to hear that last night, they were being loaded. “ Ten days ago, our people thought no inoic <il shipping to the East and Europe via Charlei - ton than via the moon. The completion of the Selma, Rome and Dalton road, and the arrange ments immediately consummated between that road and the roads of Georgia and South Carolina, make that as cheap a route as any other whatever, and the quickest, to Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and Liver pool. Freights are locked up in the cars here, nud pass without change to Charleston, where they arc transferred to first class fast steamers direct for any of the cities we have named, reaching New Fork in eight days. A sufficient number of cars will be promptly put on this line to carry all the freights either way. First class steamers leave Charleston for the Eastern cities three times a week, viz : on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Through receipts are given here for lreigbts to any of the above mentioned cities at rates as low as by any other route. “ These arrangements must have a most beneficial effect upon the business of Selma. — We can now ship cotton to the manufactories and to Liverpool cheaper and quicker than it can be shipped from either Mobile or New Or leans, and consequently our buyers can pay as much for cotton as it can Le sold for iu either of those cities, and this must draw a great deal bore which lias hitherto gone elsewhere, mak iug this the great market for Central and West eru Alabama, and perhaps for a portion of Mis sissippi.” Plant Treks.—The following very sensible and timely article, from one of our exchanges, we copy in full, and recommend a careful peru sal of it by all persons having homes to im prove. We should now turn our attention to improving our owu soil and adding, as wc can, to the many advantages which we possess.— Give this article a careful reading: “ The mouth of November is the best time in the whole year for planting trees. Early Spring is certainly a good time also, but the earth set tles during Winter about the roots of the No vember planted lice, aud it fS ready to take hold of the soil and begin its new life ou the very first appearance of Spring. For another reason, too, November is the best time. Before the end of that month all the crops of the year have been gathered aud garnered, so there is more leisure at that season for attending to trees, whilst the piess of business iu the Spring leaves but little disposable time. We would urge our country friends and all who have suf ficient ground to plant trees, and a plenty ol them. It is surprising to see how little atten- tion has beeu paid Heretofore to the cultivation of fruit by our people generally. tt There are many Hue orchards certainly, but tor every one there ought to be at least twenty. We hope that* the Horticultural and Pomo logical Society will accomplish much in open ing the eyes of our people to the importance and value of fruit culture. It requires only from seven to ten years to have even an apple orchard in tine bearing condition, while four or live are sufficient for the peach, and after the trees are ouee planted it requires comparative ly little labor to keep them in healthy, thrifty condition, and you have every year a crop the value of which n is hard to overrate, for noth ing contributes more to the comfort and enjoy ment of a family than an abundance and variety of good ripe fruit. Besides, it may be made a very remunerative branch of husbandry. Good fruit hi ways commands a good price in market. “ With the present and prospective facilities for reaching market, there are few localities in the State which might not profitably produce apples at least tor market. In setting out or shards much care should be taken in the selec tion of trees, giving the preference always to good native varieties, as better adapted to onr • soil and climate, and wc may add it is better to purchase from our own nurserymen of the State, because their trees are reared in the same climate, and will not need, when transplanted, to be acclimated.” Thanks.— We are under obligations to the « Oglethorpe” for a capital oyster stew. The undaunted Jacob, as usual, was the masculine Ganymede who purveyed this treat. The Circus.— John Robinson did not disap point the high expectations which were In dulged in on yesterday by onr citizens, relative to bis circus. He proved himself trnly the prince of showmen, in having one of the best circns companies in this country. Geo. Kelly is truly the “ champion leaper,” and excited the wonder and unbounded applause of the vast audience who witnessed bis leaps. Miss Cordelia certainly surpassed any female rider we have ever seen; while, indeed, all of the company mark, by their various performances, the fact that they are first elass artists in their line of pursuit. There will be auother exhibition of the circns and menagerie to-day, at 3 o'clock, and one to night at 7 o’clock. The menagerie contains some very fine animals, and our citizens should go early so as to have sufficient time to see them. Remember, at 2 and 7 o’clock. Alpeoria Bradley.—The Macon Telegraph says: This pestiferous leader of Radicalism In Georgia was the author of the murders aud outrages in and near Savannah on the day of the election. Like the leaders here and else where, he kept his carcass out of harm’s way. His speech at an election precint is thus de scribed : The election proceedings were suspended and Bradley mounted the stand and made a speech to the negroes, in which he used the following words: “ Come on, voters, and swear, perjure your selves, every one of you that are challenged, and if they prosecute you, they will have their nands full, and I here promise you, in case of conviction, a pardon from Gov. Bullock.” First Shad.—We notice that our contem porary of the Macon Journal and Messenger has been enjoying the luxury of the first shad. We do not, of course envy him his good luck and better eating, but we shou’d like to enquire the cause of Augusta being behidd in this mat ter, Where is our first shad ? “ Bring it forth.” A Mistake.—We are informed by Mr. Du rand, the ggntlemanly and efficient manager of the circus compauy, that the man who was ar rested aud committed to jail yesterday, for stabbing another, is not in any manner con nected with his circus, as has been reported. Cotton Press. —Mr. N. C. Jones, with Mr. Charles Boardinan as Superintendent, has now ready a very fine cotton press, and is prepared to Uike contracts from railroads and shippers. See advertisement. Mill for Sale.—Mr. Joseph E. Bnrch offers for sale that desirable peice of properly known as Boisclair’s Mill, with Hue water power, aud dairy farm. Read his advertisement.

Dear Sir : It is with much pleasure that I say to you that I consider the Plantation Bitters of untold value. In the Fall ol 1867 1 was taken with Chills and Fever, with the most severe pains in my ehest and head. It was with great difficulty lhat I could breathe. My lungs were greatly distressed, aud there was severe pain iu my right side, by spells. 1 could hardly get up from my bed. I called a doctor, who attended me all Winter without the least benefit. About the first of August I commenced using your Plantation Bitters —a wine-glass full three times a day—aud have used it most of the time since, and I am now well and strong, able to do all my own work and the care of a large family.

Acting under this testimony, Coroner Harden issued a warrant for the arrest ol Aaron, and the house, corner of Broughton and Liucoln streets, was searched by Bailiff Kauffman, very much to the disgust of Brad ley’s fat woman, who stood on the porch, turning up her greasy nos e in disdain, and fanning her delicate self with a newspaper.— The Wauhoo was not found, however, and the officers of the law departed. It is said that the Hon. Walter L. Clift’shousc was examined, hut Aaron had not louud it convenient to be In. All sorts of rumors prevailed about this illus trious personage. Some said he went in one of the steamers that sailed yesterday. Others said that a trunk, marked “A. 8.,” together with a gun-box, was seen in a wagon, aud that they would bet ten to one that Aaron was in that gnu-box. Another one argued that he had doubtless taken the overland route North, hut whether true or not, it might be better for him to do so. Colonel Anderson, the Mayor, received a uote at his house yesterday, from Bradley, which was left by two women, who made a sudden retreat. The note was dated Savannah, and asked protection from the Mayor, giving as bis reason that his life was in danger. We believe that Colonel Anderson can give no an swer under the circumstances. There is some satisfaction in knowing that this consummate rascal at last feels his guilty conscience troubling him sufficiently to hide away from those who have been so patient un der the results ot his infamous teachings. [Snenima/t Advertiser. A Punctuation Puzzle—The following ar ticle forcibly illustrates the necessity of punc tuation. It can be read in two ways, making a very bad man of a very good man, the result depending on the manner in which it is punc tuated : He is an old and experienced man in vice and wickedness he is never found opposing the walks of iniquity he takes delight in the down fall of the neighbors he never rejoices in the prosperity of any of bis fellow creatures he is always ready to assist in destroying the pecce of society he takes no pleasure in serving the Lord he is uncommonly diligent in sowing dis order among his friends aud acquaintances the cause of Christianity he has not been negligent in endeavoring to stigmatize all public teachers he makes do exertions to subdue his evil pas sions he strives hard to build up Satan’s king dom he lends no aid to the support of the Gos pel among the heathen he contributes largely to the evil adversary he pays no attention to good advice he gives great heed to the devil he will never go to heaven he must go where be will receive the just recompense of reward. The builder, an English paper, says that Joseph was not a carpenter, the original word in the gospels, fhus translated, meaning a buil der or an architect, and was in Palestine »p --plied to a mason, as in that country wood was not used for a building material, all houses being constructed of stone. The Government Agricultural Bureau esti mates the present cotton crop at 15 to 20 per cent, below that of last year, the total crop of which was 2,154,476 bales. [From the Charleston Mercury. Protest of the Election. To the Acting Board of Aldermen of the City of Charleston: The undersigned citizens, electors and cor porators of the city of Charleston, enter this their protest against the election of Mayor and Aldermen, held on the 10th day of November, A. D. 1868, and contest the election of a ma jority of the persons voted for, as irregular, illegal and void, on the following grounds : 1. That a large number of persons were al lowed to vote who were not legally entitled to vote, and that the number of votes so taken and counted greatly exceed the majority of Gilbert Pillsbury and the majorities of a ma jority of the Aldermsn who were reported to have the largest number of votes. 2. That a large number of persons who were legally enti led to vote were rejected by the managers, and that the number of votes so ille gally rejected greatly exceeded the majority of Gilbert Pillsbury and the majorities of a ma jority of the Aldermen who were reported to have the largest number of votes. 3. That a large number of voters were pre vented from voting by actual force, and lhat the number of persons so forcibly prevented from voting greatly exceeded the majority of Gilbert Pillsbury, and the majorities of a majority of the Aldermen who were reported to have the largest number of votes. 4. That a large number of voters were pre vented from voting by threats of violence and Intimidation; that the special police force, ’ illegally appointed by E. W. M. Mackey, the sheriff of Charleston county, were conspicuous and active in their participation in such lorce aud intimidation, and that the number of voters so prevented from voting by threats of violence and intimidation,| exceeded the majority of Gilbert Pillsbury, and the majorities of a ma jority of the Aldermen who were reported to have the largest uumber of votes. 5. That the ballots of a large number of voters were taken from them by force and fraud as they were about to be deposited aud others substituted, and that the number of ballots so changed by force aud Iraud greatly exceeded the majority of Gilbert Pillsbury, aud the majorities of a majority of the Aldermen who were reported to have the largest number ol votes 6. That the Board of Managers were never organized according to law. 7. That the result of the election has never been ascertained by the managers of elections as a Board. 8. That the reports of the Managers of the several distinct precincts were separately aud independently transmitted to the Mayor. 9. That the ballots, after being counted, were not preserved, but were, in many cases, aetu ally destroyed. 10. That the ballots were carried to the Mayor’s office aud left there iu open boxes. Therefore the undersigned contest the said elections, aud ask that the returns, together with the ballots, shall be examined and the case investigated by your Board, and that a time and place be appointed by you for the production ot the. process.

It appears from the official count that, the Radical candidate is elected by 22 majority. Singular Preservation. —The Loudon Herald tells the following singular and touch ing story: Not many years since, certain miners, work ing far underground, came upon the body of a poor fellow who had perished in the suffoca ting pit forty years helore. Some chemical agent to which the body had been subjected—an agent prepared in the la boratory of nature—had iff ctuallv arrested (lie progress ot decay. They brought it up to tiie surface, and for a while, till it crumbled away through exposure to the atmosphere, it lay there, the image of a tine, sturdy young man. No convulsion had passed over the face in death—the features were tranquil; the hair was black as jet. No one recognized the face—a generation had grown up since the day ou which the miner went down his shaft for the last time. But a tottering old woman, who had hurried from her cottage at hearing the news, came up, and she knew again the face which, through all ijiese years, she had never quite forgotten. Tiie poor miner was to have been her husband ou the day alter that on which he died. They wore rough people, of course, who were looking ou ; a liberal educa tion and refined feelings are not deemed essen tial to the man whose work is to get up coals or even tin ; hut there were no dry eyes there when the grey-headed old pilgrim east herself upon I lie youthful corpse, and poured into its deaf ear many words of endearment unused for forty years. It was a touching contrast; (he one so old, the other so young. They had both been young those long years ago; but lime had gone on with the living, aud still with the dead. Get Sleep Enough.—A young man in busi ness must acknowledge one mathematical fact. He knows by experience about how many hours’ sleep he needs to be as fresh one day as ou the previous day. He must acknowledge the fact that he cannot sit up late and rise ear ly, and get this amount of sleep. There is a right mathematical obstacle to the accomplish ment of such a feat. It he needs seven hours’ sleep—as many young men do—or eight hours, as more young men do—ho cannot got them between I o’clock and 7 o’clock in the morn ing. It he insists on late hours, he must ne glect cither his sleep at night or his business in the morning. Nearly every young man has sufficient mathematical acuteness at 7, a. in., to appreciate the impossibility of taking one from seven and leaving eight. The questiou is, whether or not he appreciates this impossi bility in the evening, when he is called upon to decide between a “jolly good time” and his bed. One very frequent mistake is that the lost sleep can be made up. In the first place, whatever a young man may iutend to do, he very seldom actually tries to make up for lost sleep. If he needs eight hours sleep, and gets but five, he usually makes up the lost three by sleeping about one hour longer than usual the next night. Or perhaps he depends on Sun day on balancing the whole week, and by three hours’ extra sleep makes up for ten hours lost. In the second place, one hour of regular sleep is worth, for purposes of recuperation, at least two hours of “ make up ” slumber. There is practically no such thing as making up lost sleep.. Brussels Lace.—A story Is told in cornice lion with the introduction of the manufacture of fine lace into Brussels which is pleasant in itself, and carries with it a lesson worth learn ing. A poor girl named Gertrude was deeply attached to a young man, whose wealth pre cluded all hopes of marriage. One night, as she sat weeping, a lady entered her cottage, and, without saying a word, placed in her lap a eusbioil, with -its bobbins filled with thread. The lady then, with perfect silence, showed her how to work the bobbins, and how to make all sorts of delicate patterns and complicated stitches. As daylight approached the maiden had learned the art, and the mysterious visitor disappeared. The maiden grew rich by her work, and married the object of her love. Years afterwards, while living in luxury, she was startled by the mysterious lady eutering her house—this time not sib nt, bnt looking stern. She said “ here you enjoy peace and comfort, while without are famine and trouble. I helped you ; you have not helped your neighbors. The angels weep for you, and turn away their faces.” So the next day Gertrude went forth, with her cushion and her bobbin in her hand, and going from cottage to cottage, she taught the art she had so mysteriously learned, and comfort and plenty came to all. Touch or the Sublime.—l rise, Mr. Presi dent, to argue the case of the rich man against the poor man, and I believe that before I shall have concluded, you will allow that it admits of no argument. The rich man, Mr. Presi dent, declines his emaciated form on a mahoga ny sofa, cut down, hewed out, surveyed and manufactured from the tall cedar of Lebanon, which grew upon the lolly and cloud-capped summit of the ever memorable mountain of Jehosapbat. Then, Mr. President, he lifts up to his cadaverous lip the golden china cup, manufactured, as is well known, Mr. Presi dent, in Chili, Peru, and other unknown and uninhabitable parts of the universe. While, on the other hand, Mr. President, the poor man declines his expectation in a cottage, from which he retires to the shade of an umbrageous stream, there to contemplate the incompre hensibility of the vast constellation and other fixed and immovable satellites that devolve aronnd th*celestial axletrec of this tenequa cions firmament on high. Then, Mr. Presi dent, after calling his wife and the rest of his little children, he teaches them to prespire to sciences of immortality beyond the grave. The most singular cure of tetanus on record was that of a young girl in the Department of the Seine, where jaws were locked, as the say ing is, for one hundred and ninety-seven days. A Divorce Court was established at Brooklyn in 1858 ; since that time, down to the end of 1867, it has granted 1,279 decrees for the disso lution of marriages. Dr. R. H. King, of Vincennes, Ind., has been made crazy by the kick of a horse. Commodore Perry introduced the grape business among the Lake Erie islands. BY TELEGRAPH. ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.
