GOOD PROSPECTS IN GEORGIA.

The following is an extract from letter writ
ten by cool, dispassionate, wel-udgng gentle
man in Augusta, Georgia, to his friend in this
city, under date of September 26, 1874:
"Of the Congressional Districts, we will GER
tainly carry fue; sixth will be closely contest
ed, and the remaining two are decidedly against
us. | will particularize, and the statement give
you may rely upon as being the Uorst that the
result will confirm:
Dist. Candidates, King and Spalding; wing
majority 1000.
II.-Cra,eford and Jones doubtful-but let the
locos have it by It's.
III.-Poe and Chappell wing majority 525.
lV-Floyd and HARRISON wing majority 525.
V.-Miller and Lumpkin; loco majority $50.
V-Underwood and Cobb loco majority $50.
VI.-Stephens and James wing majority l,5O0.
VIII.-I'om6s and Black whig majority 1,4OO.
Net wing majority, 1925. The names in italics
are Wings.
"The foregoing is my deliberate judgment in
the premises, formed upon the best evidence
can obtain, and have all that is going. Many
of our friends think we shall do better. | would
add that Crawford is pushing Jones very hard in
the second district, and many think he will be
elected; but my opinion is as have set it down.
So also in the first district large number of
intelligent wing politicians confidently count on
l,4O0; am safe in counting it 1000. In Ste
phenss district we shall surely get 1900, as
have put it down. In this (the eighty district,
Tombs will beat Black all that have set down !;
if the majority goes to 1900, you need not be
surprised. La the two upper districts, (5th and
6th) some Wings think we shall do better than
have estimated, while others imagine that the
Locos, who boast largely, will gain largely. Truth
may lie between, and have so regulated nv cal
cuatons but under 5000, in all, we will not
go-this you may confidently belieue."

WESTERN VIRGINA.-A friend from Richie
tells us that the Wing cause s gaining ground
there daily. Thirty changes from Locofocosm
to Whigism have taken place within year.
Wood gave for General Harrison 121 majority in
1910; this year she will give at the lowest cal
culation 200 for Henry Clay If the other coun-
ties of the district should do as well, Virginia
will take her stand among the Wing States of
the Union. And who that knows anything of the
progress of light and reason in this section of the
State for the last four years, doubts that the dis
trlct will go for Mr.. Clay by largely increased
majority over General Harrison's vote. No one.
Mr.. Clay's friends are sure of success, their pros.
poets are brighter than ever before, and Noven-
Der will redeem the good old Commonwealth from
Errors chains.-Parkersburg (Va) Gazette.

WHAT THEY THINK IN NEW ORLEANS.

By the way of showing the opinion entertained
in the State as to the electoral vote of Louisiana,
we subjoin the following banter which we find
standing in the New Orleans Bee for several days,
and which the PoIkats in these "diggins," though
betting characters mostly, seem not inclined to
touch.
A correspondent of the Bee proposes to bet
1875 that Clay gets Louisiana and 1875 on every
l0O from 100 TO 1000 majority for Clay of the
popular vote of the State and $50 to $50 that
face the music"

The Hon. ]. s. Pendleton, late United States
Minister to Chill, will, certainly, if he is alive and
well, be at the Wing Mass Meeting at Loudoun
on the 18th October, and at the Wing Meeting at
Fairfax Court House, on the 23d October. We
welcome the return of this true-hearted Wing,
and hope for the happiest results from his abors.

The York Courier in summing up the effects
of the Sub-treasury, should it again go into ope-
ration through the election of Mr. Polk, saws:
"The sum which now hires 100 men would
then hire 1873.
The sum which buys rs horses would then
buy 90.
The sum which buys 60 barrels of -four would
then buy 80.
The sum which buys 80 yards broadcloth
would then buy 100.
The sum which buys IL hats would then
buy 16.
And the same effect would be seen in every
article which the man who lives upon his money
has to buy. The money in the hands of John
Jacob Astor, OF all the capitalists in the country,
and Of all the officeholders, would buy one-thrd
more articles than it will now. These men
would be made one-third RICHER than they are
at present. How are laboring men, American
producers, to be affected ? In manner precise
ly the reverse!
The laborer who now earns $3.50 per year
would then earn 800
The halter who makes $1,000 per year would
make ST. 900.
The weaver who earns So per week would
earn SIS rs.
The blacksmith who earns $l5 per month
would earn $40.
The carpenter who earns $12 per month
would earn So.
The wheat which brings 80 cents per bushel
would bring 60.
The corn now worth SO cents would bring 81.
The beef now worth Sc would then bring $4.
The pork now worth SO would bring SIS.
The cart man who earns $l2 per week would
earn $S.
The laboring men in America would thus lose
one-third of their present earnings, through the
contraction of the currency which would follow
the adoption of the Sub-treasury"

DIssENsIoN IN THE ENEMY's RANKs.-The
Irish party in New York (says the Republc) are
at length beginning to feel that they are made the
tools of certain men of the Democratic party, who
pretend to be the leaders Of the adopted Irish cit
zens, and, by such means, secure 10 themselves
place, power, and influence while it is we'll
known fact that these same leaders are members
of the Tammany Society, which expressly states
in one of its bylaws, that no FOREIGNER shall be
eligible to any Office in that society The follow
ing query we learn has been propounded by the
adopted Irish citizens:
"To Messrs. John McKeon, Charles O'Connor,
James L. Brady, and Edmund S. Derry:
GENTLEMEN 1t having been named in public
that the constitution of the Tammany Society ex-
pressly declares that foreigner shall not be eli
glbe to any office in that society," we, the men,
bers OF the same political party as you belong to-,
demand from you, as the reputed leaders of the
Irish, in this city, to inform us whether or not
such law exists and further, if you are igno-
rant of its existence now, will you examine said
constitution and give us the information we re-
qulre from you. Signed by
MANY DEMOCRATIC ADOPTED CITIZENS"
Come gentlemen, here is a plain question pro-
pounded to you, and as you profess to be extreme.
~ anxious Tor the interests of your Irish fellow
cizens,we hope you will give them sound rea-
sons for belonging to body which excludes them
from holding rank among the members of the
Iammany Society. Out with the facts, gentle
men.-Repub.

State Senator of Indiana, from the counties OF
Davies and Martin, died on the 18th inst. His
death leaves the Wings in majority in the SEN

GEN. CHARLES FENTON MERCER.

We are glad to learn that this gentleman so
well and SO favoraby known here, is in vigorous
health, and as sound Wing as ever He was
short time since on visit to Louisville, Ken
lucky, where, as we learn from the Journal, he
delivered speech at "the Pavilion" on the
evening Of the 10Th instant. We copy the fol-
lowing interesting account of the speech from the
Louisville Journal:
General MERGERS speech was every thing
that could be expected from that sound, able, and
most distinguished statesman, for years one of
the master minds of the Congress Of the United
States. 1t was speech that would have been
listened to with instruction and delight in the
highest delberative assembly on earth. 1t was
the finest specimen of chaste and polished oratory
we ever heard. II was full of wisdom and full Of
the treasures of long experience in public life
and was enlivened throughout with the NEST
charming personal anecdotes and incidents Of
American political history. His topics were
national bank, the bankrupt law, the tariff, the
distribution of the proceeds of the public lands
the annexation of Texas, the Florida war, pro-
scription for opinions sake, the corruptions ano
malpractices of Van Burens administration the
character of Henry Clay snd James X. polk's
want of moral courage. He said he was more in
terested in the annexation of Texas than any 9th
er man in America, and yet he would have voted
against the treaty if he had been Senator, ant
he rejoced that it was rejected, because it would
have made us party to the war of Texas AM
Mexico"

GIVING 1T UP.-Dr. Miller, the editor of the
Cincinnati Old School Republican, and brother
in-law of John Tyler, knocks under" He says
that Mr.. Clay will probably be elected. Here is
his language:
In our opinion, everything, and all that we
can learn, indicate result favorably to Mr.. CLAW
and the Wing party-that the Wings will posi-
bly, be able to carry enough of the States which
voted for General Harrison to secure Mr.. Claws
election, under the dsatfected state of the Demo-
cratic party, and the want Of an union of the Re-
publican party"
