"A Grand Scheme of DiSunion-Nen
high an office supposed to be loriyy to
the N 90 M MT s-Progress Of the
Morement-Fghfing wader Masks-
Georgia true to the Union.
The opinion is fast gaining ground in
Georgia, that deep laid scheme has been
set on foot for the destruction of the Fed
eral Union, and that this State is to be
used as one of the means for its consum-
nation. 1t is believed that the Executives
of this Stale, South Carolina, and Missis-
slppl, have been privy to this movement,
as well as several leading men in the
South. The harmonious actions of the
Legislatures of these States the past win
ter, upon the territorial and slavery ques-
tions, and the reciprocal interchange of
the resolutions adopted by them respect
lively, furnish presumptve proof of this
fact. Resolutions were introduced into
both branches of our Legislature, in the
early part of the session, specifying four
contingencies for the call of the conven-
ton, upon which the whole Southern
people could have united. Upon the re-
assembling of the Legislature, however,
after a recess of three weeks, nothing
would satisfy the ultraists, unless the ad
mission of California were made another
ground for the convention. 1t had been
seen that she would probably come into
the Union soon, and it was thought her
admission would furnish certain contin-
gency for calling the people together and
carrying out their object.
Not more than one fourth of the voters
of this State, if that many, are prepared
at this time for extreme measures. Even
this number is growing small by degrees,
and beautifully less. Many of the seces-
sion papers, also are changing their tone
Macon Telegraph, and the Federal
Union, the metropolitan organ. Though
in favor of secession at one time, they
now contend that some other remedy N
short of separation may be found within
the constitution. What that remedy is,
they have not yet vouchsafed TO inform
the public. 1t is simply change of tac-
tics, however, and not of purpose. Their
object is TO quiet the suspicious Of the
people, and carry majority into the con-
yention, when they will throw off the
mask and avow their object. The course

A glance at the above ought to be suffi-
cient, we think. to put to rest forever, the
question as TO igho were the volunteers
and disorganizers, and who the regularly
nominated democratic candidate. 1t will
be seen that the vote of Snodgrass is one
thousand .jfUe hundred and forty,fU3
more than that of M'Donald and NJ Kin
ney together. That he received two
thousand nine hundred and thirty-six
more than M'Kinney, and three thousand
two hundred and ninety-seren more than
M'Donald.
The contest being over VIC have no dis
position TO reflect upon the conduct OF
those whose cou rse has brought so much
disgrace upon the party. Their conduct
on this occasion will bring its own pun
ishment. but we think it right to let our
readers see the true stete of the case.

TIE ELECTION.

We publish the official returns OF the
election in Cambria in to-day's paper, 10
which we call the attention of our readers.
1t exhibits deplorable state of affairs SO
far as the democracy of this county is
concerned. With a majority of some five
hundred, we have lost everything with
the exception OF County Surveyor and
County Auditor. This result was brought
about by men who once who stood high
in the party, and who should have been
found fighting for the success of the ticket
instead of endeavoring to defeat it in order
to crafty their personal pique and disap-
pointed ambition. They determined to
defeat every man on the ticket who did
not coincide with them in their views,
and the returns show with what success.
1t was concerted movement on the part
of large portion of the disorganizers TO
favorable TO the election of John Snod-
grass. Tickets were printed at the Echo
oIISCs ilCduCo O1 IVA DOLdids VIZ
names of Cessna and Linton, and distrib-
uted through every portion of the county
by M'Donald and others, and his personal
friends warmly solicited to vote it. The
Echo and its clique may well rejoice at
the success of this damnable scheme, and
they are welcome to the glory and the
shame of their triumph. This accounts
for the defeat of our candidate in this
county.
Mr.. Snodgrass, although defeated, has
been sustained by the democracy of the
district, and has a right to feel gratified al
/ the vote he received. He received more
votes than both the volunteer candidates
together, as the following official table
will demonstrate.

The Wealth OF California.

The Washington Republic says:-Re-
cent accounts in part confirm the predic-
ton of Commodore Ap Catesby Jones,
that forty millions will be obtained there
during the course of another year by
working and digging. That gentleman
traversed the country with view 10 a
knowledge of its agricultural capacities
he being practical farmer himself-and
he came to the conclusion that fouI-fifths
of the country is valuable for agriculture.
He saw wild oats and wild mustard COW
ering the fields as far as the eve could
reach, and of the most luxuriant character.
Large tracts had been cultivated in corn,
and affording every appearance Of heavy
crop, in the dry and hot season. A ditch
had been thrown up fence. around
this cornfield; and the earth thrown up
and forming the embankment, afforded
luxuriant growth of lettuce, onions, &c.
The country was sheet of verdure, and
yet without'a drop of rain. Neither is
their any dew, as he has found by camp
ing out in the hottest weather. There
would seem to be something in the cli-
mate, soil or atmosphere, which supplies
the place of rain and dews in the vegeta-
BILE creation. Forests of white oak,
whose trunks are six and eight feet in di-
ameter, exist, and some of the trees are
so ancient that they are fit only for fuel.
Timber is abundant and valuable.

of Gov. Qnitman and the forthcoming
proclama lion of Gov. Seabrook, of South
Carolina, will give a fresh impulse TO the
movement in Georgia, as well as encour-
ageinent 10 the disunionists.
A disunion meeting was held few days
since al Kingston, az which ex-senator
Colquett declared himself in favor of a
withdrawal from the Union. There are
but few slaves in the upper tier of coun-
ties, where this meeting was held, yet
there are many violent secessionists in
this section. This is owing TO the presence
of large number of Carolina emigrants,
who to a considerable extent, settled that
country during the Modification troubles
in 1893. Their own State being too hot
for them at that day, they came TO Geor-
gia; for, though they are disunionisis now,
they were union men then. Great efforts
will be made 10 return disunion delegates
from these counties which constitute the
districts at present represented in Congress
by Messrs. Cobb and Hackett. Much,
therefore, will depend upon these gentle
men and their friends.
