On Monday last, in the upper part of
the ccuuty, Lurn. Ellison shot a man
named Bradstreet, the shot taking ef
fect in the right side and ranging around
the ribs to the spinal column. They
were both employed on Mr. Alex Hill’s
place, and a difficulty occurred between
them on the day before, which grew
out ‘f some remarks Ellison had made
about Bradstreet’s wife. Bradstreet at
tacked Ellison after he had in some
manner euticed him to his house, and
assisted by his wife, beat him severely
Ellison procured a warrant and was ta
king it to a constable, wliev. Brads'.reet
again attacked him. Ellison drew a
pistol and shot him. Brudstreet’s wound
is not considered dangerous. Ellison
reaped.
The Capital.
Editor Times:
I have no apology to make in giving
a few thoughts on the subject of re
moving the capital. I am satisfied
there is no subject of so much impor’
tance to the people of the whole State,
and especially North Georgia. In fact
the removal of the capital from Atlan
ta, its present location, to Milledgeville,
would bo directly in opposition to the
well established principles of the Dem
ocratic party. Retrenchment r.nd reform
havo been their watchword and upon
this they h-ave laid their foundation aid
build upon it, and by advocating this
principle and carrying it out so success
fully has had me re to do with the
success of the Democratic party and
final overthrow of the Republican party
than everything else combined. Tbe
great question before the people of Geor
gia is/ how shall we save and keep from
spending the people’s money andt here
by lighten the great burden of taxation.”
This question alone when properly con
sidered, should control the whole mat
ter. Every tax payer is equally interest
ed. Just think of taking out of the pock
ets of the tax-payers three or four hun
dred thousand dollars removing and
building anew capitol in Milledgeville.
Every body who havs taken the trouble
to go to Milledgeville, and seen the con
dition of the old capitol building,knows
that it would have to be torn down and
rebuilt, when on the other hand the
city authorities of Atlanta have proa
pose in writing and bound themselves
according to law, to build anew capital
every way suitable to the demands of
the people, without costing the tax-pay
er “one cent.” Not only this but it is
admitted by everybody,to be the great
centre of raihoad communication.—
Atlanta is to Georgia what the city of
New York is to New York State Thu
citizens of Atlanta did not bring the
capital there but after it was located
in their midst, they have spent millions
of dollars in beautifying and adorning it
by building up a great city around ii,
and every Geoagiau should look upon it
with piide aud admiration .
1 was veiy proud to see our worthy
member of the late convention, Col J.
C. lain, stands square on retrenchment
and reform. lie voted not only to cut
down 11 is ow i wages, but voted in favor
of every bill introduced tending to re
l:eve the heavy burden of taxation of
the people which was finally passed, and
wili become a law if the constitution is
ratified,and I ieel that the people should
show their high appreciation of his
good works by sending him to the Sen
ate. It is now for the tax payers to
say whether they are willing to have
their taxes increased in order to defray
the expenses ot removing and building
anew capilol costing not less than three
hundred thousand dollars. I cannot
think that the people will give their
consent to this.
Then l beg of you to como to the
polls on day of election and vote for
the capital to remain where it is.

The Results oTa, “Scrub Race,”
Mr. Euiior: Asa citizen and a
voter of Gordon county, and one who
has the welfare of the people at heart,
[ ask for space iu your paper (which is
and ought to be tho political mirror of
Gordon), for a few thoughts and sug
gestions in regard to the campaign
which has now fairly opened, for the
election of members to our next Legis
lature .
Our n-w ccnstitvtion will no doubt
be overwhelmingly alouted, It is un
doubtedly the best constitution the peo
ple of Georgia have ever had. Its
provisions are, iu the main, wise and
just; and when we select the members
of our Legislature who are to enact
laws in accordance with, and to carry
out the provisions of that constitution,
let us see that we select men who are
known for their intelligence, honesty
and integrity. With the lights now
besore us, have we any assurance that
a good and true man, and a white mm
will be elected from Gordon? We
have not. But, on the contrary, there
is a chance, and. we might say, a strong
probability, that our next reptesent!>-
tive will be a negro. Now, ldo not
mean (o cast any reflections on the
many good men who are candidates f< r
the place, foi they are good men, but
with the number of candidate* now iu
the field —nine white men—with the
white vote anything like equally do
vided, the cuuceuirated negro vote
would easily elect auy one on whom it
was cast; and we are re.iably informed
that a move to that effect is now on
foot, and that there is actually an gro
candidate now in the field.
Democrats, this danger threatens
you ! Will you nut be warned in time,
and resort to the only sure im ais we
have of insuring ourselves an houest
white Representative from Gordon ?
Yes ; I have the confidence in the good
people of Gordon County to believe
that you will Then let us hold api is
mary election, and thus see who is the
people’s choice, before it is too late;
and let him who refuses to consent to
such electiou be the man who wi 1 be
beaten. Remember, Democrats, that
our sister county, Bartow, elected a
white man over a negro by only nine
majority. In the name of all you hold
dear, never let this be the case in glo
rious old Gordon. Democrat.
The Season oi Intermittents.
All miasmatic complaints, in other
words, all disorders generated by un
wholesome exhalations from the earth or
water, are prevalent at this season. In
every section subject to the visitation
of fever and ague, or other forms of
intermittent disease, the causes which
produce these maladies are now active
ly at work. This, therefore, is a period
of the year when the inhabitants of
such districts should prepare their sys
tems to meet the unwholesome condition
of the atmosphere by a course of tonic
aud alterative treatment. Foremost
among the invigorants. recommened by
time and experience as a means of for®
tifying the system against all endemic
and epidemic maladies, stands Ilostet

of the Bitters, the feeblest resident of
an unhealthy soil may escape the sick
ness which, without the aid of this
potent ally of nature, will be apt to

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague
Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c., and indeed
all the affections which arise from malari
ous, marsh, or miasmatic poisons.
This is a compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people in mala
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for the
cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no qui
nine or mineral, and those who take it arc free
from danger of quinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using it as before. - It
has been extensively employed during tbo last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that it has gained the reputation of being infal
lible. It can, therefore, be safely recommended
as a sure remedy and specific fot the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever of
the South. It counteracts the miasmatic poison
in the blood, and frees the system from its influ
ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chills,
once broken up by it, do not return until tho
disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise lYom
the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
Rheumatism, Clout, Headache, Blindness,
Toothache, Rarache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Splenic Affections, Hysterics, Pain
in the Rowels, Colic, Paralysis, and dcrange
of the Stomach, all of which become intermit
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
Ayer’s Ague Cure, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. As
a preventive, it is cf immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
it stays the development of the disease if taken
on the first approach of the premonitory symp
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever buffer if they avail themselves of the
protection this remedy affords.
For River Complaints, arising from torpidity,
it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail.
