Know Nottingham Is Civil War.

The Atlanta Intelligencer gives the follow ing melancholy account of know nothing mass meeting, recently held at Gainesville, Georgia:
 "We call upon the people of Georgia to be warned in time, and to mark we'll that know nottingham is civil war. As we alighted from the cars, the very first sight that arrested our lrattenton man stabbed and dripping with gore-a horrible sight. With our own eyes. while waiting for the departure of our train, we saw five rencounters, and we were told by one well posted i'll the combats of the day, that there were at least twenty fights in Gainesville Wednesday. A poor old fellow, who sang out that he was "a '76 democrat got his quetus by a blow on the head, and was walked over for four hours by the crowd like dead dog. We saw two men leap from a door, one literally wearing mask of blood, and the other with the topof his head apparently knocked in. In an instant a pistol fred and down dropped a Hercuean frame, as deadapparently as powder and lead could make any'fving flesh. We have seen much of our country, in all the phases of our society, from the Roanoke to the Brazos but never before have we witnessed such arage such panting for chance to do evil, such law less and uncurbed outrages on the peace and l llvesef men, as we witnessed Wednesday. Men with guns, men with drawn swords, with side arms, with bludgeons, seemed to be possessed by the demon of slaughter, and to be raving mad in their pursuit after blood.
 "Dr. Miller asked from the stand, why was all this violence in these latter days? and he seemed to wish to turn it to account for his par ty. The blame is not with any old political or ganization that exists now, or ever did exist in this country before. But it springs directly from this unholy war on men, simply because they dare to vote their own way. and from this crusade against religion that thousands o American citizens profess. It all comes from the palpable, stunning fact, that know nothing | ism is civil war"

 Of Dronorfu naefrnvod


 On Thursday night of the 9th inst, 'at about half past ten o'clock, our city was visited by very destructive fire, laying nearly one whole black in ashes The fire was discovered in some stacks of fodder in the alley near Garrison ave. nue, between Ozark and Washington streets.- The fire soon communicated to the warehouse of Mr. E. Czarnikow, and the buildings around being all frame, the fire spread with rapidty, burning down the large building containing the dwelling and grocery of Gotlieb Bollinger, the tailor shop and dwelling of John P. Haag and the store of Levi & Co.,, thence spreading up Garrison avenue--burning down the store of Mr. Bolinger, and the grocery of Francis Sodi- na, and the silver smith shop of D. Marchand; then crossing the alley caught the store of Jo- seph Eberle, in which was the post office, thence up the street burning the brick store of Mir. J. Stryke, occupied by Messrs. Brooke & Latham, and two stores belonging to MT. E. Czarnikow, and the law office of Messrs. Duval x King few of the goods belonging to Bollinger, Haag, and Levi were removed to the street, but caught hre, and were nearly all consumed. Brooke & Latham, Eberle and Czarnikow, succeeded in saving portion of their goods. The fire burn ed down all the warehouses in the Tear of the stores on Garrison avenue, and by the exertions of our citizens the fire was prevented from spreading in that direction, and the new brick store of MT. H. G. Hicken, on the corner of Garrison avenue, and Washington street was preserved, which stayed the flames in that di- rection. The large frame store, occupied by Messrs. Pennywitt & Co.,, belonging to John Gardner, on Washington street was prevented from taking fre by great exertion on the part of our citizens, and perhaps much is owning to l its being covered with fire proof paint.

 According to previous notice, the democratic meeting which adjourned at Saundersville met at Brownsville, Prairie county, on Monday the 27th August
 The meeting was organized by calling Col ALLEN A. PlTTMAN to the chair, and appoint ing J. E. GATEwooD to act as secretary. The object of the meeting was explained by the chairman, in short, lorcible, and effective speech; after which Mr. Tom. B. Turner read the preamble and resolutions adopted at Saun- dersville, and moved their re.adoption. J. w. McConaughey, of Searcy, was then called upon to address the meeting but expressing desire to hear others older than himself before pro- ceedlng to offer any remarks, the attention of the crowd was directed to Hon. B. c. Totten, who addressed the meeting iii an able speech, marked with great ability, and considered by his friends one of the best efforts of his life.- He was frequently chcered during his remarks. Mir. McC0naughcy was then loudly called for and addressed the meeting in an able, eloquent and Chaste speech, showing up, in a masterly manner, the rottenncss and Corrup- ton oi the know nothing party, which was fre- 1 qucntly greeted with rlpturous applause. The question for the re re-adOptlon rejection of the reamble and resolutions was then called for, when some persons from the assemblage called out "Borland.' but others insisting on the ques- ton Judge Totten moved that the courtesy of the meeting be extended to Mai Borland and that he be heard. Maj. Borland, after ten- derng his acknowledgements for the courtesy of the motion declined speaking in the meeting while organized.
 The question upon the re-adoption of the resolutions was then put and unanimously car ried. The meeting then adjourned.

A Sad Occurrence.

We copy from the Camden (S. O Journal, of late date, the following account of melan- choly occurrence between that place and Co" lumba
 On Sunday morning last, about five miles from Camden, near the residence of Col. w. J. Taylor, the elephant attached to the circus and menagerie of G. F. Bailey & Co-which ex- hibted in our town on Saturday afternoon and evening-killed horse and his keeper. It ap- pears there was difficulty in getting the ami nal across the bridge near Col. Taylors mill, and after some trouble they succeeded in get ting him over by another way; the elephant, from some cause, became angry, and the horse coming in his way was gored to death After ascending the hill on the other side of the mill race, at the forks of the Columbia and Mo- Cords Ferry Roads, the elephant became unru
 y, wanting to go to the left in place of the right. The keeper, whose name we learn is Geo. West, undertook to punish him, whereupon the enraged animal seized and threw him up, pierc- ing the poor man through the body, and mang- ling him otherwise in shocking manner, so that he died in few minutes.
 Mir. Bailey returned immediately to Camden and informed the Coroner, Z. J. Delay, who summoned a. jury and repaired to the spot, when, after the usual formalities, the jury returned a verdict in accordance with these facts, viz:

"that the said George West came to his death from wounds inflicted by the tusks of the ce- phant attached to the circus of Bailey 6 Co.," In the afternoon requisition was made upon the Camden Light Infantry, to go and kill the elephant, which had become terror to all. A detachment under command of It. James |. Uillepigue, immediately responded to the call, and arming themselves with powder and ball, repaired to the scene. They did not how ever succeed in killing the elephant that night, but went again on yesterday morning, and with the addition of several other gentlemen, not members of the company, succeeded, after a long and dangerous struggle, in dispatching him.
 The circus company, which had advertised to perform in Columbia on Monday-yester- terday-were obliged to take another road in orderto avoid coming in contact with the enraged monster. We learn that this is the only man which this elephant has killed. He was evil dently vicious animal, as the keeper had diff ticulty in keeping him within bounds on Satur- day. It is a considerable loss to the company but nothing to be compared with the danger there was in allowing him to go at large. This event has created a considerable stir in our con- munity and the thanks of the same are due to the gallant men engaged in the dangerous en- terprlse.
