Mr. Chablei H. Markham i« the agent
ter Jho ^t^rfrjuSuff for Muscogee and
Uumell counties. He la authorised to
nolieit and subscriptions, and
to reoeipt for tho same. We oommend
him as a gentUman in every way worthy
of eonfldfencfe.
A good price will be paid at this office
fort he traroher* of the Sunday Enquirer
containing the story, “In Othor Lands,'
which recently appeared.
The discovory of a new teleaoopie oom-
et, in the constellation Draco, is an
nounced from Marseilles, France; and
Prof. Swift, of Rochester, N. Y., says
that he h*a found it, but he has not cal
culated its movement yet.
The Radical Convention of Elmore
county, in the 3d District of Alubauia,
met the other day and appointed delegates
to their District Convention favorablo to
the renomination of Pelham for Congress.
Pelham will probably be nominated, bnt
the white votes that he will get will be
very scattering.
Alabama haa a farm worked by some of
her Penitentiary convict#. It is an
nounoed that this farm will this yearprob
ably make 30,000 budials of corn and 100
bales of c itton ; bnt wo aro not informed
whether it will be self-supporting with
this production. If it is, it is the beat
managed institution under Radical rule
in that Stats.
Dcbino one of the election squabbles
between the negro partisans of Pinch-
back and Packard in New Orleans, on
Saturday evening, a negro nauiod Allen
Harris was stabbed and killed by another
named Dupost, and the latter made his
oaoapo. As the row whs “all in the fami
ly,” the election was of course peaceable
and orderly.
We direct attention to an interesting
letter from a Htewart county correspon
dent ou the subjeot of Rnst on Cotton
We know that our correspondent, in bis
conclusion that it is a living animtdcular
concretion, is sustained by Mr. C. A. Pen
body and other scientific farmers. We
liopo that planters will consider what ho
says about the poke weed, as well as his
inquiry whether Paris Green or some
other destroyer might not be employed
against rust.
Wk learn from n dispatch of the 2d
inst. from Boston, that a party of Mas
sachusetts Kn-klux, at Oak Bluff in that
State, undertook to tar and feather one
H. K. Elliott of Worcester, who was living
with women of bad character at Oak
Bluffs, and that Elliott drew bis pistol and
shot Caleb Smith, one of tbo party, and
brothor of ouo of tho women, dead. Elliott
theu made bis escape from them and sur
rendered to tho authorities. But the ex
citement against him was very Ligb, and
he may bo Ku-kluxed yot, with rope in
stead of tar nml feathers.
Senator Morton, in a speech delivered
at Terre Haute, ludiann, on Friday, de
clared that President Grant had by no
word or act given oounteuanoe to the im
pression that he would voto the Civil
Rights bill. Hu aaid that he “repelled
w.th indignation the suggestion that ihe
President will prove false to the princi
ples of the Repnblioan party." If Mor
ton is correct in this, our people will an
derstand that they must exert themselves
to the utmost to defeat this measure. It
ia, at all events, premature to take the
measure of our “gratitude" to Grant.
OAtIT SMITH.
It was announced some weeks ago that
Ibis colored cadet had failed to aland the
examination at West Point, and would
have to leave ihe iaetitolion. This, after
the flourish that had been tilde «Arer faM
superior capacity, was rathe# sutprisioM
especially in view of the lack that this
was the first oase in which a negro had
attempted to go through such an examin
ation, and that bia anoceas ia anxiously
looked for by some as affording proof of
the capacity of bis race to compete with the
whites in mental training and discipline.
But Smith failed, and some of the ultra
negre adorers of the Radical party raised
the cry that he waa unjustly dealt with on
Recount of bis ooier~ooUiit belauding
the loth Amendment, the Enforcement
eot and the Civil Bights bill. Smith him
self shared, or pretended to share* in this
feeling, and asked of the Secretary of War
a new examination. This the Secretary
has refused, and so the flratcolored cadet,
failing in his ambitions aspirations, falls
back in disgrace, and a big black mark of
inoompetenoy ia aoored against his race.
Smith distinctly charges, in a commu
nication to the Nutiomd lien A’ro, that
“the report made against him waa aqt
for dofioienoy, but in aooordanoe with a
suggestion from high authority not to
allow him to graduate, and thereby sevc
the Wer Department the onerous task of
finding a suitable assignment in the ermy
where he would be welcomed by the white
officers as an offioer and a gentlemen."
Why should a negro candidate for a ca
detship at West Point, with a prospective
commend in the army, !»e treated unfair-
ly. especially by a party professing to be
the especial friend of the negro rsoe ?
We oanoot eey positively that this has
boon done, bat Smith and some of bis
friends say that it haa; and therefore the
inquiry ia pertinent. The New York
World makes e suggestion on this point
wbioh is probably correot. Itaayathat
if Smith waa nu fairly treated, “Ihe case
ahows that whatever may be done in Stok
ing negroes voters and participators In
government; whatever may be done by
Civil Rights bills in forcing them into so
cial equality with tho whites; whatever
tbe fanaticism or the good nature of indi
vidual may do towards the removal of
all distinctions on aooount of color, there
is one institution in the coontry—namely,
the army—into which they oannot bo
received, aud in which they cannot be
put ou a par with white gentlemen.
Law may be ever so atriugeot, hut if a law
woiks a mutiny or luminous tendencies in
an army, it oannot be executed. Tbe law
ia Cadet Smith’s case ia plain enough, if
he were really entitled ou a fair examina
tion to be graduated. But be ia rejected;
and as there has boon no offloial publica
tion of his record, and as he complains of
the result, aud charges that the Secretary
of War haa treated him harshly by telling
him that he “wont" order a new examina
tion, ihe public is left to infer that he has
been rejected because the Secretary has
become satisfied that insubordination and
disturbauoe would follow in any regiment
to wbioh he might be assigned. If this is
the true state of the oase it settlas the
question of colored officers in tbe Army
of the United States.
The election in Kentucky on Monday
was only for a Clerk of the Conrt of Ap
peals on the 8:atu ticket, also for Circuit
Judges aud county officers—not for a
Governor, Congressmen or Legislators.
Thomas C. Jones, who has been elected
Clerk of Appeals, us we are advised by
telegraph, was a Confederate uffljor, and
the Rndicals claim that he is ineligible
nuder the Stato law against duelling. If
they ran a candidate against him at all,
their man was brought out just before
the election. But they will doubtless
make a cose contesting Jones' election on
the ground of iueligibility.
The “hitch" in the Beeoher-Tilton in
vestigation seems to be on tbe question of
precedence in making atatemeuts. The
Tribuna, of the 1st inst., says that the
committee uffiem that “the letters in
Moulton’s possession must be produoed
and compared with the extracts in Mr.
Tilton’s statement before Mr. Beecher
can be asked to explain them; and com
plain that Mr. Moulton cannot be found,
aud that their requests for the originals
of the letters receive uo notice."
It ia hard for outside ainnera to under
stand irhy Mr. Beecher should delay re
plying to Tiltou’s atatemont, if he only
mouua to “explaiu" the letters quoted
from by Tilton, aud not to douy their
genui loughs. la he waitiug to aeo wheth
er it will bo boat for him to deny or to ei-
plaiu ?
Georgia Mining Newh.—Tbe Dahlon-
ega Signal of Saturday gives good reporta
of rniniug operations in its vicinity. All
the mills are running regularly, with sat
isfactory results. A company have com
menced deposit mining on tbo Yobola,
wotkiug live hands, with a bailing wheel
and aluice boxes. The testa on slate
show six grains of gold to one shovel-fnl,
which ia considered very good. The Sig.

found—one weighing 14 dwt. and 4
grains, found near Dahlonega; auother
of 11 dwt., in same vicinity; and a piece
of qnartx from Buttle Branch, about the
aise of a heu’a egg, fully one-half of
wbioh waa gold. Mr. Woody, who haa
been put in charge of the grounds on
which this lamp was found, to take care
of them until the owners complete their
preparations for working, haa experi-

The time for our Congressional elec
tions is approaohiog. The nominating
convention for this district will soon meet.
Who shall be our standard bearer f This
in an important matter—at all timet im
portant—bnt never more so than now.
The times are out of joint, fearfully and
alarmiugly so. The Federal Government
haa become venal, extravagant, and cor
rupt beyond all precedent. Since the
close of the war these Confederate States
bavo been treated as conquered provinces,
and the people thereof as aliens and ene
mies by the Central Gavernmant. They
have been forced by that central power to
yield obedienoe to laws that were degrad
ing, oppressive, aud disgraceful to the
name of free government; and by tha
same central power 8tate governments
have been oreated, and by military power
foroed upon us nuder tbe gaiae of reonu-
atructioii, aud the high places in these
governments have been filled, through
torce aud fraud, by men who were unfit to
rule over a free people, and by men who
were aliens in sentiment and interest.
Aud these things have been done under
the Holernu mockery of a free election.
perienos to redress thorn. Ia a word, wf
doubt whether there ia a man iatto
at this tharnho ooflfl wield a gfW*

onl«be frue to his Htate and
hie eef^on. We know he is against
eMNmffihace and • (o. to corruption—
that be ia biniMlf incorruptible and on-
purcbaaable.
And wbilat wa apeak only for oar ova
diatrict, wa at tbe aaaa tine do hop* and
pray that every Oongrataional Diatrict in
tbe State may bring out from their retire
ment their very foremoat aen. We have
• Med for all their aervioea. Tbo Gov
ernment ia now in * traoaitive atata, and,
nnleea reatrained by tbe eovereign power
of the people, will moon drift into e cor
rupt, central deapotiam. with Citil lUyhts
bills lot tha first installment f For veal
or for woe, this ia our own Government.
We are all an board the seme ship, end
■net sink or swim together; and, there
fore, let us put none bnt evperlenoed
pilots on board during these tempestuous
times. It Is for ns—the people, tbe voters
and tax-payera—to take these matters into
oar own bands aod select onr own agents.
Now sad forever we reject end repudiate
tbe idea that any man bas any claim/ upon
ns for any offlae. We pay an agent to
serve ns, end we have e right te select tbe
one who oan best serve ns.
Let ns not delude ourselves with the idea
that e nomination is equivalent to an
election. The two partiee are nearly
equal in this diatrict, and we mnat have a
candidate who ean concentrate tbe entire
party; and we know of no man around
whom tbs voters Would rally with more
unanimity and enthusiasm than around
Judge Crawford.
We will not say one word going to dis
parage in tbe least degree tbe merits or
talents of any one of the young gentle
men whose names have been mentioned
in this oonneotion. We have a use for
them all with all tbeir ability. In onr
Htate Legislation we need man of charac
ter, of honesty and ability, to oomplete
tbe work of regeneration and purifica
tion.
In conclusion, we do hereby nominate
tbe Hon. Uartin J. Crawford, as a candi
date for Congress in this distriet, subject
to tha ratification of tbe Convention
wbenavas it meets. We know that Jadge
Crawford la not seeking the office; and
we further knew that if nominated, he
does not, could not, and would not decline

Vicxanuno.—Tbe New York Herald
publishes a long letter from Vioksbnrg,
giving an aoconnt of the origin and pro
gress of tbo “difflonltiea" there. Accord
ing to this statement tbe negroes and
white Radicals have foil* rated tbe city,
and have greatly embarrassed it by debt
and taxes—tbe debt now amonntiug to
oae-tlxtb of the valne of tbe taxable
property, and tbe taxee to 6} per oenb
For some time pact the negroes have
been obtaining arms from tbe Htate for
military oompaales which they have
formed in tbe oily, and tbeir drills were
ap./te^uent aa to present a oonataut mil
itary preparation. They have also been
very iqsnlting to tbe white", often driving
tbe ladies from the side-walks. Tbe
whites, peroeiving that the negroes were
making armed preparation for the oity
eleotion, also commenced organizing
quite recently, and then oame tbe demand
from Jackson for tbe disarming of the
military companies—a proceeding which
the whites were willing to oarry out, bnt
the negroes would not. The speech of
Davenport, to whioh we have heretofore
alluded, added fuel to the fire. Nearly
all the whitea who have heretofore aoted
with the negroes ee Radicals deserted
them and took tbair stand with tbeir own
It beoame evident that with a fair
eleotion the Democrats would triumph,
and thia increased the anxiety of the ne
groes and of the State authorities for inter
vention by the Federal military. All waa
comparatively quiet at last aoeonnte, bnt
before the organisation of the white oom-
peniea the negroes drilled daily, end
every day marched through all the streets
of the city ia armed aqaads.

box, whilst iu others they still continue I effected by the prostration of the white
iu full force. Thanlu to that atarnal race i » nd th » l ueceaaarily engenders the
bitterest feeling of noatility between them
end the North. Owing tbeir emancipation
to them, they could regard them ee
friends, guardian! and patrons, and cen
tre, accordingly, all their sympathy in
them. The people of tbe North would
not fail to reoiprocate, and to favor them
instead of the whitea. Uuder the influ
ence of suoh feelings, and impelled by
fanaticiam and love of power, they wonid
not atop at emancipation. Another step
would be taken to raise thorn to politioid
aud social equality with their former
owners by giviug them a right of voting
and holding public officea uuder the Fed
eral Government.
“We see the first step towards it in tbe
bill already alluded to—to vest the few
blacke and slaves with the right to vote
on Ihe question of emancipation in thia
dmtriet. But when once raised to au equal
ity they could become the fast political
associates of the North, sating aud voting
with them on all questions, aod l>y this
political union between them holding the
white race at the Bouth in complete sub
jection. The blacks and the profligate
whitea that might unite with them could
become tbe principal recipients of Fed
eral offioes aud patronage, aud would in
ooosequeoee be raised above tbe whitea of
the Booth in the political and social acalo.
“We would, in a word, change condi
tions with them—a degradation greater
than has yet fallen to the lot of a frea and
enlightened people, and one from whioh
we ouuld not eeca|>e should emancipation
take place (which it certainly will if not
prevented) bnt by fleeing the homes of
onrseivas and of onr ancestors, and by
abandoning onr oonotry to oar former
slaves, to become the permanent abode of
disorder, anarohy aod wretchedness."
vigiianoe, which is said to ba tha price
of Liborty, onr own Htate Govern
ment has been partially redeemed
and regenerated, bnt much yet re
mains to lie done to fully restore and
purify our own Btate Government in all
its departments. And there is still a
greater work for us fo do, in onoe more
restoring to tbe Empire Stete of the Boath
her ancient fame and power end influence
in connection with tbe Federal Govern
ment. And if we are only true to onr-
selvea, aud true to tbe memory of our
departed statesmen, ihe encient renown
of our own great Btate will once more be
restored in tbe oouncils of tha Central
Government.
But how is all thia (o be done ? We
snaaer, promptly nnd confidently, it into
bo done by at once bringing to the front
the eery ablest men in all the State. We
have such men. Tbe great men of the
State are not all dead. True, for many
years some of them, by reason of onjnat
and iufamous laws, have been diefran-
obi»cd and denied tbe right of taking any
part in the administration of tha Govern
ment. Bui now they are u nchaintd, their
disabilities have been removed, and we
demand iheir services. And let them
oorne to the front!
In onr judgment Judge Crawford ia one
of these men. He ia without fattsrs now;
be is uuohained; he ia of rips aga; he
has had six yssrs’ experienes in the Con
gress of the United States; and many abla
men were there then, and among such
men ha then ranked high as a man of
ability and influence. Siaoa then he haa
witnessed all these years of suffering, and

they commnnicated to tbe medical jour
nals.
It would too greatly prolong this com
munication to make quotations from all
tbe medical journals and mediosl writera
who have commented npon tbe mediosl
experiments with this water. We will,
therefore, only make quotations trom one
of the medical journals and from one of
the medical writers, who is recognized ea

Testimony or Medical Journals.
The New York Medical Ileeord, in two
editorial articles, entitled “Onr Becently
Discovered Mineral Waters," and “The
Gettysburg Katalysine Wafer,” reviews
with muoh ability the praotioal experi
ments with the latter. It remarks :
Our experience in the nee of this val
uable water confirms the oonolnaione
stated by Dr. John Bell, of Philadelphia,
that it is a very useful remedy in chronic
disorders of the digestive organa, and tbe
secondary derangements, such as goat,
rheumatism, hepatio and rhenal affections,
skin diseases, dco., consequent thereon.
We have good reason also to believe from
what wo have seen and experienced, that
it will liy long use remove nodosities of
tha joints of a gonty natnro.
We have also seen eases of albuminuria
muoh relieved by it, aa well aa tha irrita-
Iflo bladder of old age and oalonlns diaor-
lera of tho litliio aoid diathesis. * *
We have been incredulous in regard to
this water having any aooh power as rep
resented by Drs. John Bell, B. H. Hell,
and other mediosl writers, of dissolving
the urat t or chalk formations in the
body, or on limbs and joints—a power
unknown to any other mineral watar in
the United Btates, so far aa no are in
formed. * * From experiments made
on our own person as well as others, wa
oan state that the Gettysburg Water is a
regnlator of all the secretions and excre
tions; under its influence tbe kidneys end
liver, the glands of the intestinal canal
and the Bkin all perform their normal
functions; the bowels, it oonstipatod,
beoame regnlar; the skin, if dry, becomes
rnoiBt; the torpid liver is excited to
healthy action, and tbe kidneys perform
tbeir functions with perfeot regularity.
There is a total absence of any disagreea
ble sensations whatever; tha eis medico-
trix seems roused to increased activity,
and all morbid oausas of bodily, or even
mental disorder, seem rapidly to pus
sway. Tbe result is: Increased appetite
and digestion, a freer oironlatlon, a
stranger pnlse, a calmer mind, a more
tranquil sleep, a dearer complexion, and
au iuoreasing nervous and mnaenlar
powey. * * Where gonty or rbenmatio
persons are taking tbe water, wo find an
extraordinary quantity of nrio acid score.

Medical Authors.
Doctor Bell, tbo author of a standard
medical work entitled “The Mineral
Springs of tbe United States and Canada,”
bas prepared a paper on the Gettysburg
Katalysine Springs, from which
quote :
“Tbo Gettysburg Water has produced
signally curative and restorative effects
in different forms of Dyspepsia, Sioknesa
of the Stomaoh, Heartburn, Waterbrazh,
Acnto Nenrulgio Pains, Loss of Appetite,
Chronic Dinrrbcea, Torpid Liver, Gout,
Cbronic Uhematism, Nodosities of the
Joints, Approaching and Aotnsl Paralysis,
Diabetes, Kidney Disease, Gravel, Chron-
io Dyspepsia, Abdominal Dropsy, Ep
ilepsy, do., &o., &o.”

He also remarks of its solvent effects
npon ihose forms of calculus known as
the chalk-stones, lnmpe or nodosities of
rheumatism and gout;
“Were we to suppose thsee swellings to
be ligamentous, or cartilaginous, with
bouy matter deposited, onr surprise at
tbeir disappearance would be none tbe
less, liecourse to all known tharapenli-
oal agents and modes of treatment,

or by both united. In the case now un
