S>d¥~ In New York, on yesterday cot ton was in fair demand at 163 for up lands. ffST* Rev. R. A. Holland has been delighting the Atlanta people with his lecture on the “Sea of Galilee.” t&T Gov. Bullock has issued his proclamation appointing Thursday, No vember 24th—same day appointed py the President—a day of thanksgiving. An exchange says : has a little colored girl who “sees hell. She is a clairvoyant.” We fear she has a good many large people who will see it, and are not clairvoyants, eitV'r. tST A valuable horse was killed by the “Tournament” foolishness, in Au gusta, on Thursday. The pickpockets at the Augusta Fair did not fare well. Three were arrested Friday. ► Four thousand two hundred and fifty-nine bales of cotton, valued at $306,- 944.58 were shipped to Liverpool from Savannah, on Friday. By the fire on his rice plantation op posite Savannah, on Wednesday, May or Screven, of that city, lost from $lO,- 000 to $12,000. J 6&" During a pow wow at Eutaw, Greene county, Alabama, on Wednes day, somebody jostled Hayes, the scalla wag candidate for Congress, when he drew a pistol and fired into the crowd, which was the signal for a general dis charge of arms on all sides. Ten ne groes were wounded and one killed. A Deserving Man. —We are glad to find that Mr. George W. Hunt still retains a position on the State Road, and for sobriety and reliability, has recently been given a conductor’s place on a through freight train. George is a wounded confederate, a clever, accommo dating young man, and deserves the fa vorable consideration of any company the Road may be in charge of. Accident on Central Railroad. —As the down train from Macon to Sa vannah on the Central Railroad, on Friday night last, was near No. 5, Cen tral Railroad, a man and boy and a ne gro, who had been hunting, had taken seats on the track, and, in thmr fatigue, dropped to sleep. The train passed over them. The white man was killed, and the boy and negro badly mangled. The boy lost his leg. Both will probably die.— Macon Tvleyraph. < ► The D’Orvnl prophecy, written by a monk some centuries ago, traced out distinctly the wonderful career of Napoleon the Great—his overthrow— his return from Elba and final downfall —the ascent of Louis Napoleon to the throne—the Crimcrian war and other incidents, ending with the final down fall of Louis Napoleon by a bloody con quest at Paris, in which the Seine be comes red with the blood of the French, after which a young Prince of the old legitimate stock reigns in Franco with great popularity. With this the proph ecy ends. Democratic Executive Com mittee. The State Executive Committc assem bled in Atlanta, Saturday 22d ult., at 10 o’clock. The meeting was full, ten members present besides the Chairman. The following resolutions were adopt ed. when tk# Committee adjourned, sub ject to the call of the Chairman : Resolved, unanimously, That in the judgment of this committee, it would be unwise and inexpedient, for the people of Ceorgia to attempt to hold an elec tion on Tuesday after the first Monday in November, and that it would be wise and politic for all the people of the State who are entitled under existing laws, to vote at the election commencing on the 20th, 21st and 22d day of December next. Resolved, That wo recommend the Democrats and Conservatives of the State to organize in each county, and in due time to bring forward their candi dates to bo voted for at the election to be held on the 20th. 21st and 22d days of December next. Resolved, That personal aspirations and individual preferences should bo cheerfully surrendered for the public good, and where nominations are made, all who desire the defeat of the party in power, should give the nominees their cordial support. Troubles arc like babies— they grow bigger by nursing. Agricultural Meeting. Calhoun, Ga., Nov. Ist, 1870. Gordon county Agricultural Society, met according to adjournment.

Tlie New York Democratic Mass Meeting. The New York World says of the immense Democratic meeting held in that city on Thursday night: “ Unfavorable as was the weather last night for the great outdoor gatherings of the New York Democracy, a multi tude of more than 100.000 good men and true crowded Tammany Hall, Union Square, and the contiguous streets to ratify the Democratic nominations for State county and municipal officei’s.— From Third Avenue to University place, and from Fourteenth street to the upper boundary of Union Square, a scene of unparalledbrillancy, excitement, j and enthusiasm was presented. Vigo rous and convincing speeches w ere made in Tammany Hall and at the various stands in the streets outside by a num ber of representative Democrats from all parts of the Union, and the prodi gious procession of 30.000 wardmen, with music, torches, rockets, banners, and transparencies, kept the whole up per part of the city alive with the ex citement of its march until a late hour of the night. The departure of Grant’s flunkeys from this metropolis is now in order.” Os the meeting the Herald says: “The procession, was, beyond a doubt, the largest and most imposing political parade ever made in this or any other city, and fully fifty thousand procession ist* were in line. A novel idea is proposed by a writer in a recent number of Harper's Bazar. It is no less than the establishment of “ training colleges,” wherein intelligent young women may be taught how to rear infants according to the latest lights of medical and social science. The Approaching Election- Defeat is Death. We do not hesitate to declare it as our solemn conviction that, if the peo ple of Georgia do not carry the election in December, they are ruined beyond the slightest hope of redemption here after. This is a strong declaration, but we believe it as honestly as we ever be lieved anything in our life. We have thought over all the consequences of defeat, ami if there is any ill or disaster that defeat will not bring, we do not know what it is. Let such another Legislature as the one just adjourned meet again at Atlanta, and farewell to everything that makes a residence in Georgia, now, even tolerable. The peo ple have been robbed and swindled to an alarming extent as it is. but if that curse comes upon them they will be stripped bare. The robbers will never stop until they have stolen the last item of property owned in Georgia. When the people can no longer pay taxes, having nothing upon which a tax can be levied—then, and not till then, will the thieves call a halt. All this is just as sure to follow’ a Radical success in December, in our judgment, as that there will be an election at that time. We fear many of the people do not realize the appalling danger that con fronts them. We fear that selfish, per sonal motives and reasons are blinding them to the imminence of the crisis.— If they saw, as we see it. the awful ruin that will follow defeat, they watuld fling self to the wfinds and know no watch word but “ the State is in danger—save the State!" They would count sacri fices of pride, and judgment, and ir.di vidual aspirations as trifles beneath con tempt. If they realized, as defeat will m dee them realize, how deep is the depth to which a Radical triumph will consign them, they would blush and shudder to think they had ever lost sight of it. We tell them, now’, that defeat means death —death to all enter prise, all peace, all prosperity, and all hope of living in Georgia as men should live. From what we know of the de signs of the Radicals in this State, we do not hesitate to charge upon them the fully matured purpose of making Geor gia uninhabitable for all who will not either join them, or cease to war upon their policy. This is a grave charge, but we honestly believe it. If you ask upon w’hat grounds we base this belief, we point to the Agency and its works since January last. What better evi dence does any man three degrees re moved from idiocy, w ish than that ? We point to Bullock’s character and acts, and to Blodgett’s crime-stained career as evidence. They hate the whites of Georgia as men w’ere never hated before. They are bold, desperate and thoroughly unscrupulous—greedy for money, but still greedier for revenge. They will never halt until they have not only beggared, but thoroughly de graded the white people of Georgia.— They have a long account to settle with the virtue and respectability of the State for the manner in which their ad vances have been repelled, and their crimes denounced. While they live in Georgia they must wage an unrelenting warfare upon every decent man in it. Now W’hat are the people doing, and what do they propose to do ? Will they give up Georgia to these creatures, or have they determined these creatures shall give up Georgia to them ? That question sums up the whole argument. If they are resolved upon the latter course, they must prove it by their acts. They have no easy task before them. — Cunning, and villany, and open fraud, and their own money are matched against them. They must lay aside every other business but that of crushing Radical ism. They must resolve that defeat is death, and that they will >?o£die. They must swear that victory shall be theirs, anyhow. They must make their prepa rations so thorough that nothing can offset or upset them. They must take every risk, arid face every responsibility. They must, in one word, resolve to win , and march to that point over and through every obstacle.' This, but nothing else, will win the We ask every man who reads these lines to take strong hold on the same conviction, and gird up his loins for the work before him. Men of Georgia, the hour has come when you can neither postpone nor avoid the issue. You are entering upon a contest that will decide, for this cen tury at least, whether you or the bri gands who h ive plundered you for near ly three years shall leave the State— whether you or the stranger shall own and enjoy the fair heritage your fathers w< >n with their swords for you and your children.— Macon Telegraph. Tiie Negroes Quitting the Cot ton Fields.— The Columbus Enquirer says: A recent trip into Alabama, as far as the Court House of Pike county — a distance of eighty-five miles—revealed the fact of great tardiness in gathering the small crop of cotton made. In our travel we saw many fields from which not a boll had been picked. Inquiring the cause we learned that the low price to which the staple had declined had so disheartened the negro laborer, who in most instances had an interest in the crop, that it was with great difficulty he could be iuduced to pick cotton.— Many expressed fears from this cause, a lorge portion of the small crop made would be lost in the field. We find too. on examination of our exchanges from the different parts of the cotton region, that this feeling on the part of laborers, is not confined to the localities mention ed above, but that it is general among laborers, who have been croppers, all over the cotton region. We had a call yesterday, from Mr. S. W. Bloodworth, who is just home from the Augusta Fair. He brings with him a MOO premium for the best acre of corn. He recieved a premium of SSO from the Macon Fair, and from the State Fair a $125 premium upon the same acre of corn —making it. on the whole, rather a profitable crop. Mr. Bloodworth’s son, Joseph 11. Blood worth. took premiums at both the State and Augusta Fairs, for the best crop of corn raised by a boy under sixteen years old. Each of the premiums consist of a handsome silver-cased patent lever watch.— Atlanta Sun. New York. The editor of the Macon Telegraph sojourning for a time in New York, writes to that paper, as follows, on the 26th October: I see you have had cold weather, but it was lost ‘somewhere in the pine woods south of the Potomac, for I have not seen it. l'estcrday (25th) the mer cury must have stood some where about 65. This morning opens with an East ern drizzle, but it is far from cold. The leaves are still green on many of the deciduous trees, and have not thinned out to any great extent. Trade, they say, is flat. New York feels the decline in cotton very sensibly, and every body in general business prays for a rise. The news on Monday that cotton had gone up a cent, w’ith sales of 20,000 bales in the city, was received with great satisfaction. I dropped for a few moments Monday night into the Lee memorial meeting at Cooper Institute Hall. This Hall is a subterranean apartment, and in that particular appropriate to many of the uses it is applied to. It occupies the whole area of the building and will seat five thousand people. It is comfortably provided with iron chairs cushioned and backed in red morocco—the ceiling is rather fantastically vaulted and sup ported by iron columns. A gentle rise in the floor on all sides from the west, where the platform is located, gives a perfect view of the audience and the stage. The Hall was quite full, and therefore some five thousand people must have been present. Mr. Hoyt, the Vice-President of the Gold Board, was making a rather labored and ambitious speech when I entered, and he was fol lowed by Rev. C. K. Marshall, of Mis sissippi. The audience was almost ex clusively Southern, and deeply sympa thized with the speakers. A casual allusion to Stonewall Jackson called out a tempest of applause. Smuggling in High Quarters. — The United States practice ship “Savan nah,” recently returned to Annapolis from a cruise to the Canary and Madei ra Islands. The officers and middies had supplied themselves bountifully with canary birds, baskets, walking sticks, <fcc. Acting under the instructions of the Treasury officials, Mr. Taylor, Collector of the port, made a raid on the articles brought by the midshipmen as memen toes of their cruise. He had made ex tensive arrangements for the seizure by having a hand full corps of deputies. Trunks, &c., were seized, and everything worked well until Mr. Taylor discovered on board the ship $2,500 worth of rare wines from Madeira belonging to Presi dent Grant, Secretary Robeson and Post master-General Cresswell. As Taylor owes his position to the spe cial favor of the last named gentleman, he was in a decided fix. If the mid shipman’s canary birds and walking sticks were seized, the wines would have to be seized also. At this point the Col lector s fear of official displeasure over came his suddenly developed honesty, and called his deputies off, and declined to prosecute the investigation further. The New York World, of Thursday, contains an article which sets forth that a project is now on foot by which the government of France is to sell to the United States the French West India islands, for a price not named. One of the conditions of the purchase is, that the United States is to place the most liberal construction, possible, upon in ternational law, so as to cover shipment of arms without stint. These islands, several in number, are valuable, and yield large quantities of sugar, coffee and other tropical productions. The trade between them and France is worth $12,000,000 annually. Their posses sion would open a considerable market for our products, and would, at the same time, give us a valuable foothold in the West Indies. Mansfield, Oct 25. —0n Monday evening last a furious whirlwind struck the tent of Van Amburgh & Cos., who were exhibiting at Belleville, in this county, tearing it from its moorings, strewing the canvas around promiscu ously. and even overturning some of the cages of animals. There was a fearful hubub for a time, the brute animals howling and the human screaming, yelling, cursing and imploring in all their fright. The elephant took ad vantage of the confusion to escape to the country, but was soon overtaken and secured. Quite a number of per sons were injured, a little girl and a man seriously. The little girl, it is sta ted, has since died. The names of any of the injured have not yet reached here. - -« ♦ »- An Arkansas paper tells of a genius who conceived that monkeys would, on account of their nimble fingers, make splendid cotton-pickers with a little training, and further calculated that one good hand could manage about ten monkeys, and the expense of cotton picking be reduced to a minimum.— When the experiment was tried, how ever, it was found that instead of one good hand being able to manage ten monkeys, it required about ton good hands to one monkey. A Virginia paper says of General Lee's views of religion. “ But a short time siuce, when in the presence of a few friends who were warmly discussing the doctrine of u apostolic succession, ” his opinion was asked for. With great modesty and gentleness he answered. ‘‘O, 1 trouble myself but little about such things; my only concern is, am 1 really and truly a Christian.” In a recent case, a Treasury clerk at Washington, of four years standing, was promoted, and the examining committee having learned by accident that he was an ex-mariner, proceeded to put him through long “ sums ” in navigation.— He went through all right, but after wards confessed that he had purposely falsified all his work and his answers, to prove to his own satisfaction that the committee themselves did not know what they were talking about. The President has fixed Thursday the 24th of November as Thanksgiving Day. The Situation in Paris. London, October 26.—A private let ter from I’fcris of the 18th, says all is going on very comfortable at present There is nd starvation or bombardment. The city is perfectly tranquil. The Mo biles are gradually becoming soldiers, but are by no means soldiers yet. Bismarck seems disposed to allow the American legation to send free and re ceive a weekly bag through the Prussian lines, but actually refuses to allow a messenger. I look upon Paris as impregnable to assaults until one or more of the forts are taken. Ncrgreater danger is antici pated from a bombardment. Famine is all we have to fear, and that it is sup posed will begin to pinch cruelly toward December. About two-thirds of the Americans here want to leave. They are tired of the situation. The Prussians would let them go directly, but the French inter pose objections, being afraid of the moral effect upon the population from seeing so many strangers depart. It will end, I suppose, in their going at different dates, in small numbers. THE FEELING IN BERLIN. The Herald's Berlin letter, dated 24th, says the uppermost feeling in Berlin at the present moment is intense longing for peace, especially among the lower classes, whose desire is emphasized more strongly day after day. They feel the early inclemency of the season and pic ture to themselves the sufferings of their lriends in the field. Their last penny has been vested in the woolen under clothing and socks to be sent off to the army, and they loudly clamor for a ter mination of the war. A single battal ion of Landwehr under Gen. Kunimer, at Metz, in repelling Bazaine’s sorties of the 7th, lost over 400 fathers of fam ilies, leaving as many bereaved widows, and 1,070 orphans. In the suburbs of Berlin the shops of smaller mechanics are closed, and so are those of small butchers, bakers and ar tisans. They are all gone to the front, say the w ritten placards on the doors of shops and lodgings. These and other evidences of the distress of the people have aroused a feeling in favor of imme diate peace. Dissatisfaction prevails in political circles on account of the secre cy observed by the government relative to the negotiations fbr the entrance of Southern States in the German Confed eration. The only information to be vouchsafed comes from Versailles, and represents Bavaria and Wurtemburg eager to rush headlong into the arms of the Confederation, while it is well known that the Liberals of Munich. Stuttgaret and other places openly demand a Ger man Parliament and new' revised Consti tution. Important Decision—The Relief Law Declared Unconstitutional- Judge .John S. Hopkins occupied the President’s Chair in the Superior Court es Fulton county, for the first time yes terday. and started out fearlessly and boldly as the Champion of the law and constitution. In the case of James F. McClure vs. D. H. Silvey and Company, it was determined by the Court, and so announced, that the first section of the Relief Law of 1870, in requiring an affi davit that all taxes have b•jen paid on the debt sued on, is a denial of a remedy to suitors in court, and will not be en forced by this Court, as in the opinion of the Court said section is unconstitu tional. J. M. Calhoun and Son for plaintiff. L. E. Bleckley for defendants. [Era. The Democrats elected three Con gressmen in Pennsylvania by an aggre gate majority of only forty-nine votes, viz : B. F. Myers, over John Cessna, by 15; R. Milton Speer, over David j. Morrel, by 11 ; and Henry Sherwood over Win. H. Armstrong, by 21 majori ty. The delegation now stands: 12 Re publicans, 11 Democrats and 1 Indepen dent. The census returns of the United States, indicate that the population will not reach 40,000,000. The increase of negroes is a mere trifle. Returns show that where negroes have remained upon plantations remote from cities, natural increase occurred ; but in sections near cities the decrease was appalling. The negro population of cities shows little or no increase, notwithstanding influx. The New York Express is informed, on what it believes to be good authority, that the ex-Emperor, Louis Napoleon, has a large real estate interest in New Jersey, especially in Hoboken. Lon don papers assert that he has some two millions of dollars worth of real estate in America. The recent storm on the Florida coast was very disastrous. Some idea of it may be obtained from the fact that the steamer Mississippi, from New York to New Orleans, on one day passed eleven wrecks; and the shore for forty miles was strewn with merchandise. France, though not greater in area than the State of Texas, produees more wheat than the whole United States, the figures being 350.000.000 bushels for France and 240,000,000 for the United States. London, October 31.—Dispatches from the East State that the persecution of Christians has been revived in Da mascus. and so great is the irritation of the natives against them that a general massacre is feared. A lad aged five years, son of Col. J. C, Bundy, of St. Charles. Illinois, was killed on Saturday by being struck with a base ball in the stomach. He lived only a few minutes after being struck. There was a baby show up in Wis consin the other day, at which thirty eight infants contested for the prize, two of which were colored. Astonish ing as it may appear, the colored young sters did not take a prize. There must be something the matter up in Wiscon sin. On a ranch on Carson river is to be seen a herd of 26 camels, all of which but two are native Californians. Tue estimates of the Agricultural Bu reau place the present year’s wheat crop at 210,000,000 bushels—4B,ooo,- 000 less than that of rear. FROM EUROPE, New York, October 30. —The Times' special dispatch from Brussel Is says the capitulation of Metz threw the Bona partists into despair. I bis city is their grand center. Pietri. Chuff. Pevienne, Mesdames Bazaine, Canrobo. and Prin cesses Metterniob and Mathilde are here. The World’s special dispatch from liOndon states that at Merei le Haute, on authority of a staff officer of General Picard who escaped from Metz, that an aw'ful scene occurred on Wednesday, preceding the surrender. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a compact mass of un armed people swarmed from the western gates into the plain. The throng inclu ded all ages, ranks and sexes, numbering nearly ten thousand, headed by a man and woman, the latter carrying a white flag. Following these were hundreds of children, carrying little white flags. Be hind them moved a strong body of the French troops pressing them forward. These people were expelled because there was no food. The Prussians opened fire but the people still advanced. When they came within range, the man and woman, still leading, moving more rapid ly the man fell, struck by a bullet. The woman, waving a white handkerchief, continued to advance. Amid the scream- ing of the children the Prussian fire con tinued, and the woman fell with her flag. The crowd wavered a moment and then fled. The Prussian fin l grew constantly hotter, and the French troops advanc ing, closed around the flying citizens and a terrible fusilade followed, the road be ing strewn with the bodies of women and children. The forts threw shot and shell upon the Prussians till the fugitives disappeared, when the French troops fell back. The fugitives lay around the walls and in sight. The agent of the World forwards this statement, furnished by the agent at Merei le Haute. Tours, October 30.—A profound im pression is created by Bazaine'B capitu lation. A majority consider it political and express intense indignation. The army of the: Loire had been considerably reinforced and much was expected from it toward the relief of Paris. The sur render of Metz checks its efforts. The Constitutiooel appeals to Gambetta to ac cept an armistice and order an imme diate election for the constituent assem bly. London, Oct.. 27.—The Manchester Guardian to-day gives the following terms of peace which were proposed by England. Russia and Austria: First.no cession of territory; second, fortifications of Metz and Strasbourg to be razed ; third, France to pay two hundred mil lions francs indemnity, and neutrals to guarantee peace. Berlin. October 27.—King William telegraphs to the Queen to day: “This morning Bazaine and Metz capitulated. 150,000 prisoners, including 20.000 sick and wounded. The army and garrison laid down their arms this afternoon, one of the most important events of the war. Providence be thanked ” N ew Y ork . October 30.—The cott;»n receipts and exports for the week have been the largest of the season. Receipts for week, 85.935; f>r season, 437,622. London, October 31.—Paris advices via Prussian headquarters is quite se rious. Prisoners report the troops with in the fortifications receive only a half pound of meat twice a week. Many French women and children approach the lines dospite the threat that they will be shot, preferring death from bul lets to starvation. Lake City, October 31.—Advices from Cardenas say that the loss of life in that city by the hurricane was small, compared to the desiructiort of property. All warehouses were destroyed, and a majority of the vessels in harbor were dismasted or wrecked. The loss will reach millions of dollars. No names or details have been received. Brussels, Nov. I.—The Prussians entered Metz yesterday p. m. The French officers, after a pledge in writing not to again engage in the war, are allowed their side-arms and baggage, in token of the courage displayed by them in defense of the city. Berlin, Nov. I.—The Empress Eu genie has arrived at Wilhelmshohe and visited the Emperor with Bazaine, Sun day. Brussels, November I.—Gen. Berrier wrote a letter defending Bazaine from Gambetta’s charges of treason. He con cludes: “we capitulated by famine.” Tours, November I.—Paris advices say that every night the Prussians com mence to bridge over the Seine, and the French forts destroy the work every morning. Port Claiborne, November I.—A vessel supposed to be the Mary Ann is breaking up. Three men have lost their lives attempting to reach her. Providence, Nov. I.—The pathway from Boston went ashore during yester day’s gale and is a total loss- Staunton. October 31.—C. W. C. Lee. second son of Gen. Robert E. Lee, and professor in the Virginia Military Institute, is unanimously elected te suc ceed his father as President of Washing ton College. Prof. Pratt of South Carolina, is elect ed Professor of applied chemistry. The board also changed the name of the College to Washington Lee Univer sity. The family of Gen.

October 31.—Invita tions have been sent to the rulers of the various South German St ites to come forward and witness the bombardment of Paris. Wheeling, October 31.—The Reg ister publishes an extra with returns from twenty-three of the fifty-two coun ties, giving a Democratic majority of 5,000.
