Now let the Radicals come on with their sensations. The Missouri Republican closes a powerful article upon our approaching State election as follows; “It must be confessed that the Conservative party of Georgia are contending against tre mendous odds, but every man who loves liberty and hates oppression, will earn estly hope that the unequal struggle may terminate in a glorious triumph.” *4 » »■. A Good Chance. —In selecting your Christmas presents, let them be of a substantial or useful nature. It will be seen by advertisement in another column that Col. 11. 31. Young has determined to sell off his large stock of goods at cost. He wants to have a general clcauing out to make room for mam moth new stocks early next year. lie has a large lot of most excellent articles on hand, and those who fail to call at his store before these goods are all gone will certainly lose bargains. Tiie “ Am I not a man and brother ?” theory receives a severe blow from the hands of Dr. Bird, an eminent English physician, now resident in India, who has been making a series of experiments upon the blood of various races, lie affirms, as the result of his investiga tions. a marked difference in its con dition; the blood of the Bengalese con taining fewer red corpuscles than the European, and that of the negro still less. He argues from this, different grades in physical organization, and proves the Caucassian to be altogether a higher and entirely different type of mankind from the inhabitants of African jungles. Congress. —The prevailing opinion is that there will be very little legisla tion on the interests of the country at the present session, and that the time will be chiefly consumed by the Radi cals in arranging disagreements among themselves and in partisan legislation. A Washington letter says in political circles legislation is talked of to this extent: The Ways and Means Committee will prepare a hill to correct the contradic tions of the July Revenue act; a bill to be introduced to repeal the Income tax : another to admit Colorado into the Union. One to increase the whisky tax to one dollar a gallon, and to repeal the act convening Congress on March 4. A Democratic member has a bill pre paring to repeal the military enforce ment election law, and believes he will get Republican support for it. Several Western members say they intend to give notices of biils for reducing the duties on imports about twenty-five mil lions more. In Winnesheik county, lowa, the Day brothers have 1.800 acres of land under cultivation. It is said that this year they will have from 11.000 to 13,000 bushels of wheat; from 5.000 to 7,000 bushels of oats; from 10,000 to 20,000 bushels of barley. They had 1,100 acres of wheat and oats to harvest this year, and have growing 600 acres of corn. Ben. Hill at it Again. It was reasonable to suppose that when Ben. Hill, and everybody else saw and experienced the evils resulting from his hot-headed advocacy of having nothing to do with the framing of our State Constitution, he would not have the brass ever to “ put in ” again on a political question. But such is not the case, lie now comes out in an address to the people of Georgia, for the purpose of establishing in their minds the bind ing effects of the 14th and 15th, Amend ments —the folly of attempting to dodge them, and the utter vanity of the hope entertained by many, that the Northern people will in time relent, and do away with these amendments. He says they are binding laws, and accomplished facts. He virtually narrows his address down to the acceptance of the situation, and making the best we can out of it. If Mr. Hill had held these views and acted upon them during the canvass for members of the Constitutional Conven tion. we would have had a better con stitution, a better man than Bullock for Governor, and a better state of affairs in Georgia generally. We are indebted to Ben. Hill, more than any Other one man, for the worst Radical features in our Constitution— for a majority of our negro legislators, and the triumphs of Radicalism ever since the operation of this State Con stitution. This address is a sound logical docu ment. but we still hold to our opinion, held for years, that Benjamin H. Hill is the most complete political humbug of the nineteenth century. And yet if everybody thought as Ben. Hill thinks, he would be greater than Washington or Lee. Affairs in Paris. The World has a balloon letter from Paris dated November 16th. It is a very interesting narativo of four col umns’ length. The writer represents the people dispirited and suffering from bad and insufficient food. They all say as soon as peace comes we are going to quit Paris and all dread a civil commo tion worse than the days of June, 1843. Food is very scarce and dear—even the worst —90 cents a pound for horse saus age —70 cents per pound for horse-blood pudding—rats fifteen cents each—cats, sixty cents. The writer saw a turkey sold that morning for sixteen dollars in gold—seven dollars refused for a rabbit —and three dollars asked for an old chicken cock—eggs were fifteen cents each, and a pound of fresh butter in a window attracted an immense crowd. — The people were beginning to be riotous for food and serious disturbances were feared us the destitution increased. — Health bad, though not alarming. The ordinary mortality of Paris was 840 a week, but the deaths of that week were 1,885, and of the week before 1,762. — Small pox, diarrhoea and typhoid fever were getting common. That was twenty five days ago, and twenty-five days of subsistence to two and a half millions of people must have vastly aggravated their “ disabilities.” Protecting American Labor. The New York Herald says a few years ago the great machine shops of that city employed twenty thousand men and turned out an immense num ber of gigantic marine engines. Now very few of these shops are open, and in those that are not entirely closed a score of men may be seen at work on an occasional job of repairs. Yet within that time the commerce of the world has been transferred from sailing to steam-ships and marine steam engines have multiplied inconceivably. And that is the way protective tariffs protect American labor—by annihilating it by embarrassing trade and pushing up the value of materials to such exhorbi tant rates that manufacturing is transfer red to places where it can be done more cheaply. Tinkering trade with the quack nostrums of the protectionists is much like subsisting a family on patent pills. It don’t do for a steady diet. In the lower House of Congress, on the 12th, a bill, abolishing the office of Admiral immediately, and Vice-Admiral upon a vacancy, was passed by a two thirds vote. A resolution, looking to revenue re form, and the abolition of internal re venue, was adopted by 164 to 6. The following is the revenue resolu tion alluded to: Resolved , That the true principles of revenue reform points to the abolition of the internal revenue system, which was created as a war measure to provide for extraordinary expenses, and the continuance of which involves the em ployment at the cost of millions of dol lars annually an army of assessors, col lectors, supervisors, detectives, and other officers previously unknown, and re quires the repeal at the earliest day con sistent with the maintenance of the faith and credit of the Government, of all stamps and other internal taxes ; and that properly adjusted rates shall be re tained on distilled spirits, tobacco and malt liquors so long as the legitimate expenses of the Government requires the collection of any sum from internal taxes. Babies are like wheat, they are cra dled and thrashed, and finally become the flower of the country. John Surratt’s Lecture. Hi* Connection with the Lincoln Abduc tion H/ot, and ./. Wilkes Booth — Where he. was when Lincoln was Killed. The Courier-Journal'a Washington correspondent telegraphs a synopsis of the above lecture, mention of which was made in our own dispatches a few days since. The main points, as we get them from the synopsis, are that Surratt, at the time of his introduction to Booth in the fall of 1864, was living at Washing ton. engaged in sending the Confederate authorities information as to the move ments of the Federal troops at Wash ington and elsewhere, and that he thinks the United States detectives were the stupidest lot of donkeys ever known for not catching him. When he was intro duced to Booth, the latter unfolded his plot, which was to kidnap Lincoln and carry him off to Richmond. This Booth thought would bring about an exchange of prisoners, which was much desired by the Confederate Government. Sur ratt was thunder-struck at the boldness of the plot, but agreed to join it, with several others whose names are not given. He declares, emphatically, that not a word was ever said about assassi nating Lincoln ; that upon one occasion when the party had a conference, and he (Surratt) made a proposition to aban don the enterprise, and Booth opposed it and hinted at something more desperate, there was a quarral and very near a final split because the sentiment of a majority was against attempting any thing more than Lincoln’s capture. Os a very narrow escape made by Lincoln, Surratt speaks as follows: One day we received information that the President would visit the Seventh street Hospital for the purpose of being present at un entertainment to be given for the benefit of wounded soldiers.— The report only reached us about three quarters of an hour before the time ap pointed, but so perfect was our com munication that we were instantly in our saddles, on the way to the hospital; this was between one and two o’clock in the evening. It was our intention to seize the carriage, which was drawn by a splendid pair of horses, and to have one of our men mount the box and drive direct for Southern Maryland, via Bcn ning’s bridge. AVe felt confident that all the cavalry in the city could never overhaul us, as we were all mounted on swift horses, besides having a thorough knowledge of the country, it being de termined to abandon the carriage after passing the city limits. Upon the sud denness of the blow and the celerity of our movements we depended for success. By the time the alarm could have been given, and horses saddled, we would have been on our way through Southern Maryland towards the Potomac river.— To our great disappointment, however, the President was not there, but one of the Government officers. Mr. Chase, if 1 mistake not. This was the last effort at capture, and soon after the enterprise was aban doned. Surratt says he left Washing ton Tuesday morning, x\pril 4th, 1865. and went straight to Montreal. While in Canada he was engaged in plots to release the Confederate prisoners at Elmira, New York, and it was while he was at the latter place, on that business, he heard of Lincoln’s assassination. He immediately went back to Canada, and was secreted there until he went to Europe. He declares that the man Weichman, upon whose testimony his mother was hung, was in the abduction plot, and that he, (W.,) while a clerk in the War Department, furnished infor mation about the Federal army, which Surratt carried to Richmond. The Indians of the North west. Fearful Ravages of Small-Pox—lnfa mous Practices of Traders—-The Rich Lands Yet to he 1 Von and Set tled. Fort Garry, Red River, Nov. 10. Just now a fearful pestilence is raging on the distant plains to the Northwest. Smoll-pox has broken out for the first time in eighty odd years. The most harrowing tales have been sent us from the posts of the Hudson Bay Company at Carlton House, Victoria House, Forts Pitt and Edmonton, and other distant stations. The savages having never be fore experienced such a visitation are stricken with terror, and ascribe the dis ease to the presence of missionaries among them. They have sought to slay several persons prescribed by their med icine men. At Fort Pitt, where 200 died in four days, the survivors carried the putrid corpses and cast them against the stockades of the fort to infect the whites. The disease has been imported by trading bands coming from among the Piegans and Blackfeet at Fort Ben ton. The intensity of its ravages may be imagined when yon are told that two thirds of the Indian population will likely be SWEPT AWAY. Such tales of horror as are recorded ! Whole encampments have been stormed by the grim warrior. Death. The skin curtains of the lodges flap idly in the tainted wind. There is no one within them but the dead. Hundreds of corps es rot along the rivers’ banks or float on their waves. The plains dotted with bodies torn piecemeal by tooth of gaunt wolf or bill of gorged crow. Troops of dogs dine off their dead masters, who would in ordinary course have dined off them. The survivors have fled to rocks and caves, to find death waiting for them armed doubly with the horrors of solitude. A doctor and stores of medi cine have been sent from here, but he can effect little iu so wide an extent of country. All precautions are taken here to prevent the spread of the infec tion. and a great number of bales of furs have been burned, because they con tained the seeds of infection. One would scarcely think that a human be ing could be guilty of such a FIENDISH CRIME, but I am assured there exist men who make a trade of collecting the robes of the dead for sale—more deadly than the poisoned tunic of Hercules. A pleasant lookout for the men who, wrapped in these robes, will be speeding along the Lane next winter. That will be ‘‘grim death behind the cavalier” in earnest. To the Democracy of Georgia. The State Democratic Executive Com mittee urges you to perfect at once your county organizations. The elect am is uoar at hand. No time is to be lost.— The importance of the result cannot be over-estimated. Representatives in the National Congress are to be chosen.— They should be men of prudence and patriotism ; men who will reflect honor on the State and give encouragement and support to that gallant band of Northern Democrats who, amid all the perils of the past, have been true to the country and the Constitution. Mem bers of the State Legislature also, are to be elected. They should be men of in tegrity and sound judgement; men whose interests are identified with the interests of the State ; who feel a pride in her past glory ; who sympathize with her present misfortuues, and whose hopes depend on her future prosperity. \ou can elect such men. Success is within your grasp. You have but to will it and the victory is yours. All classes of our citizens deplore the rule of the present regime. Their pride and their pockets alike rebel against its con tinuance. The colored people are ready to be delivered from their new bondage —a bondage which makes them slaves to the ambition and the avarice of the office-seekers whom aspire to be their leaders. They begin to realize that the men of the South, with whom they have lived so long, are their true friends ; and that those who now govern the State are fast cngulphing them and us in a common destruction. They will not be longer misled by the false accusation that we wish to put thorn back into slavery or take away their political rights. They well know that we would not do either, if wo could, and that we could not if we would. Their best in terests and ours alike depend on a wise and just administration of the Govern ment. And thousands of them are wil ling to co-operate with us in displacing from power those whose incapacity and reckless extravagance have well nigh plunged the State into bankruptcy and ruin. But if you will have success, you must be united among yourselves. You must rally around the chosen standard bear ers of the party. Independent candi dates must have the magnanimity and patriotism to withdraw. If they will not, withdraw from their support though they be your warmest personal friends—leave them to suffer the defeat they deserve. This is no time for divis ion in our ranks. There is too much at stake, and the peril is too great. Let us surrender petty jealousies and person al ambitions and dislikes, and give a cordial support to the selected candi dates of the party. Suspend your bus iness while the election is progressing, and attend the polls. Do not vote at any precinct—vote only at the county-site. Conform strictly to the lav: in all res pects. Jf none of the appoint' and mana gers appear by ten o'clock' on the day of the election , get three freediohbrs to open the polls , as provided by section 1314 of the Code. Above all things , preserve the peace. And may God de fend the right and save the State ! In behalf of the State Democratic Executive Committee. Clifford Anderson, Chairman. Democratic papers of’ the State please copy. Bloody Affray at Starkville, Lee County. Starkville, Ga.. Dec. 9,1870. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: A most desperate fight occurred here yesterday afternoon between William Miller and Robert G. Terry, on one sure, and Geo. Page, Representative of Lee county, and Solomon Page, Tax Collector, aided and abetted by a party of ten or twelve negroes. Having wit nessed the whole affair, I shall give you a plain, unbiased statement of what I saw, “ nothing extenuating nor aught set down in malice,” Immediately after the close of Grady’s circus performance in the afternoon Joiner, the negro Representative from Dougherty mounted upon a box near the canvass and proceeded to deliver himself of a speech, hoping to gather an audience from the crowd leaving the canvass. The speaker seemed to take special pleasure in saying hard things of Col. Nelson Tift, the Democratic candi date for Congress from this district.— Some absurd remark about this gentle man’s character being overheard by Mr. Wm. Miller, who was passing, gave the speaker the lie. Sharp words then passed between George Page and Miller, when Robert G. Terry took the latter by the arm and led him away. A crowd of negroes immediately surrounded Page and told him that Miller had called him a “ son of a b—eh, and he must kill him or make hinvtnke it back.” The whole party, headed by the Pages and one or two other whites, then went in pursuit of Miller, brandishing pistols and knives. Miller and Terry were walking alone across the square toward the hotel, when, finding the crowd at their heels, they turned and ordered them to stand back. One of the Pages then fired upon Miller and he returned the shot. A second shot from the Pages felled Miller to the ground, when he was pounced upon by a negro friend with a knife, who literally cut him to pieces. After Miller fell the assailants concen trated their fire upon Terry, who drew his pistol and defended himself, shoot ing three of his assailants, aud only when his weapon was empty did he mount his horse and escape —wounded, I am confident, but how badly I could not learn. The following are the casualties: William Miller, killed ; George Page, mortally wounded—shot through the lungs; Solomon Page, shot through both shoulders; T. M. Cameron, shot through the arm, and Robert G. Terry. I understand that others were slightly wounded, but I did not learn their names. William Miller had been drink ing during the day, but I understand that he was highly esteemed by his neighbors as a peaceable and law-abid ing young man. The gubernatorial duel in Alabama is decided. Smith, the Radical, gives way to the Governor elect. Barbarity in France. A letter from Eeos, published iu La France, says: It is no longer war that is going on here; it is pillage, aaßasinatiun, and arson that our unhappy canton labors under. On Monday towards 4 o’clock in the morning the two parishes of Foret-la-Folie, and Quitry, were sur rounded by the Prussians. At Foret two of the inhabitants who, no one knows how, were pointed out to the enemy as having lent their aid to the Franctireurs on Thursday, were—l won’t say shot—but massacred. These were MM. Campignv. proprietor, and Laiur. a garde champetre. The first was pierced by eight balls fired close to him; his house was fired and three corn mills close by were treated in the same manner. A draper had to see his shop stripped, the pillagers taking away rolls of flannel, etc., etc. At the house of a wine merchant they filled their bidons with brandy. Then, descending into the cellar, they staved in all the full butts. At Quitry the murdering and incendiarism took still more con siderable limits. Three boys belonging to the farm of M. Besnard. Mayor of the parish, were shot; three others have disappeared; they are believed to be buried in the ruins of the farm house which was burned. M. Besnard him self escaped several times with difficulty from being killed. A Prussian wound ed himself with a blow of a hatchet in tended for M. Besnard. M. Cauchois and his sons—M. Constant and Gossent —were riddled with balls. One M. Gautier, a farmer, had his stables burn ed, with the thirty sheep and one horse that they contained. All the corn-mills were burned. Three people were led out to be shot. One had to submit to his sad fate; the second was tied to a cannon, and received most ignominous treatment; the third was released, M. Besnard, in the face of these atrocities, went to the commander of these bandits to expostulate. lie was answered, “We are making reprisals,” and when M. Besnard declared on his honor that not a shot had been fired in the parish, the commander, after consulting one of bis under-officers, replied that he believed what this man told him, who affirmed s he contrary. He never attempted to stop the work of murder and destruc tion. All tliis I saw with my own eyes. Incidents of the Mob in At lanta. The Trw Grorgian says: Now that the unfortunate affair of Wednesday has somewhat blowu over, the ridiculous side of the picture begins to come to light. The street and open space front ing the Tombs were densely packed with negroes, many of whom innocently join ed in the mob out of motives of curi osity; and when the firing had fairly commenced, the stampede became tre mendously general. Five lines of high picket fence were scaled in rapid succession by the frantic darkies. They followed each other like so many black sheep jumping a wall, and gave vent to their terrified feelings by unearthly howls of dismay. One big fellow, trembling, and covered with per spiration, sought refuge under a table in the kitchen of a house on Calhoun street, and, without scratch, declared that he had “been for, and could see the hebcnly gates standin’ open.” Two others came out upon the same street, and panting for breath, one asked the other what they should do next. “ Jes’ keep right straight on, sure, and darn fast at dat!” said Pomp, and off they went, scaling garden fences and every obstacle that they ran upon. A good-natured Democratic friend of ours heard the shots and the whistle of bullets in such rapid succession, that he at once resorted to the strategy of clenching a fleeing darkey and holding his bulky form between himself and the conflict. “ Look yer, let go dar ! Gorry mighty, goin’ to kill dis chile? Let go!” “Couldn’t think of it;” said our fat friend; “ you are a man and brother, and I’ll be cussed if I don’t stick to you as long as there’s a shot fired!” North Georgia Conference Appointments for 1871.

By the Republican party, a recipe for bolding States after they are made or made over on the strictest party plans. Here is West Virginia, cut out of the side of the Old Dominion for the express purpose of being Radical, has gone dem ocratic by wholesale ; and hard upon its heels Nevada, lugged into the union for the same purpose, goes the same way. Then Missouri, made over after the most approved pattern of disfranchise ment Drake could possibly cogitate, “flops,” following Tennessee, also made over, also “floppedj” and finally here are once thoroughly reconstructed North Carolina, Florida, Alabama and Arkan sas, now as bad as ever, with Texas and Georgia champing on the bit to do like wise. The man who can put a stop to all this no doubt would be conferring a great favor as the donation of a horse or a house to the President. —Kansas Pa triot. NEW YORK. Buffalo.

The Morning Rost says the best Americans avoid or are driven from political life, while men like Butler, wield political influence. Five hundred eases of guns from America, which were seized upon their arrival here, have been restored to the consignors. It is rumored in Madrid that Senor Momt proposes to suspend payment of interest on the internal debt for twenty months, with the understanding that bondholders are also to contract a loan guaranteed by mortgage upon the tobac co monopoly for four years. London, December 11.—A dispatch from Amsterdam says a telegram from Luxemburg states that the Prussian Government has informed the Govern ment of the Grand Duke that in conse quence of its having allowed a violation of the neutrality of the Grand Duchy by the French, Prussia is no longer bound to respect the neutrality of the territory of Luxemburg. It is said that the French government will endeavor to enlarge the scope of the conference on the Black Sea question, but the attempt is discountenanced by the London and St. Petersburg cabinet, on the ground that it would endanger the assemblage of the conference. FLOR IDA . Lake City, Dee. 10—Aspinwall ad vices of the Oth says the weather is frightful. Reports of shipwrecks are coming in constantly. The American schooner Scuddcr was lost, her crew were saved.
