WASHINGTON, September 1O.-Gcn.
Meade has reported on the Ashburn
murder at Columbus, Ca, and relative
to other matters. The report substan-
tiates the statements published of the
outrageous treatment Of witnesses at
Fort Pulaski. The commandant of Fort
Pulaski says "the detectives came TO
the Fort with the prisoners in charge
and orders to have the sole control of
them, consequently assumed no au-
thority except to keep them secure. y
A narrative of sweat boxes, shaved
heads, and other terrors follows.
Regarding Governor Browns connec-
lion with the affair, he says in effect
that he employed Brown for his legal
knowledge and influence with the peo-
pie. Brown demanded FIVE thousand
dollars fee. This amount under ordi-
dairy circumstances Meade would no,
have paid but was apprchensive the
defence would hire Brown. (

nprrmrAr.s ZOE rHn SOUTH.

oRTENTALs FOR TEE SOUTH.
The New York Times of the 3lst ult.
says:
An Armenian gentleman from Con-
stantinople has arrived in this city, with
a view Of finding location in the South
ern States for colony of two hundred
Armenian families. He yesterday ad-
dressed a number of his countrymon who
are resident here. He alluded to the
considerable body of Protestantized Ar
menians at Constantinople who enter
tanned desire to find land of religious
liberty where they might settle, and
said that the American missionaries had
pointed to the Southern States of Amer-
lea as the promised land, and also as a
region having climate similar to that
of the countries bordering on the Medi-
terranean. This is novel and desira-
bic element in the emigration to Amer
lea.
In race, the Armenians are Japhetic
in faith they are Christian, but of a con-
fession that differs both from the Pro-
testant and Catholic, though it resem-
bIes the latter in many respects
Though the Armcnians have long been
subject to the Turks and Persians they
are a people of remarkable enterprise
and intelligence, with valuable old lit
erature and many eminent scholars
They have in time past established col
onies in various parts of Southern Eu-
rope, and they are numerous in the cities
of European Turkey. Ifthe first colony
to this country prove a success, as we
trust it may, we shall doubtless in time
see several thousand Armenians follow
it from Canstantinople. They can find
in Virginia, South Carolina or Georgia,
localities that offer them every oppor-
tunity for freedom, happiness, health
and pecuniary success.

ADDRESS By GEN w. T. woFFoRD

On last Tuesday, at o'clock p. M,
the above named candidate for alternate
elector for State at large, made speech
at the City Hall, in Rome.
AS only short notice had been given,
the assembly was not large, but highly
respectable. Gen. Wofford urged con-
Citation, and forgiveness of past politi-
cal differences, and determined, energot-
ic and organized action for tho support
of Seymour and Blair. lie stated that
there was not single intelligent, native
born Georgian, who is radical from
principle, and showed that the tenets OF
that party were so disgusting to white
men, and even intelligent negroes, that
they could not but despise it.
He firmly believes that at no distant
day the old Constitution, with all its
rights and guarantees-except the para
mount rights Of States and slavery,
which have been settled by the war-will
be re-established. He said we must all
learn to love the Federal Government,
for it is now our government, and we can
never hope to have any other. He
paid beautiful tribute to the Northern
Democracy, and urged that if the South
had listened to their advise to remain in
the Union, the abolition party would not
have succeeded in their purpose of de-
stroying the peculiar institutions of the
South.
He stated that he had recently visited
so counties in North East Georgia, in
many of which he had made speeches,
and in that section the people were al
most unanimously for Seymour and
Blair--prcdicting that the 9th Con-
gressional District, which gave Bullock
a small majority, would be at least 1000
the other way in November.
lie admitted that he was in favor of
the Reconstruction measures, believing
that to be the most direct road by which
we mi ght obtain a return to constitution
al liberty and prosperity to the country.
Said he was candidate for Congress,
and that the honest yeomarry of the
country should have chance to express
their preference for that office, and fail
ed to make it clear that no would abide
the action of a Convention.
He closed with beautiful tribute to
our general government as it ought to
be, and soon will be, if good men do their
duty, and urged the citizens of Floyd to |
put, every man, his shoulder to the
wheel, and roll up an overwhelming ma
jarity for Seymour and Blair, and, if pos
sible, not allow Grant to get single
vote in the cOunty.-Rome Courier.

The conductor hesitated. Beau looked
like gentleman to any one not perfectly
well posted up in the human face he was
well dressed, and his indignation appeared
most honest.
''Ill see you after l have collected the
tickets, replied the conductor, passing on
through the car.
Beau sat in silent indignation, frowning
at everybody until the conductor returned
and came and sat down by his side. Beau
then, in an earnest undertone that we could
only overhear occaionally, talked to the con-
ductor like father, and we saw the crest
fallen man of tickets pay the hatless passen-
ger four dollars
The trick was at once seen through by
both my friend and myself, and the next day,
overa bottle of wine at the Monument House,

ANOTHER YEAR.

Another year, another year,
Oh, who shall see another year
Shalt thou, old man of hoary head,
Of eyesight dim, and feeble tread
Except it not, time, pain and grief,
Have made thee like the autumn leaf,
Ready, by blast or self decay,
From its slight hold to drop away
And some sad morn may gild thy bier,
Long. long before another year
Another year. another year.
Oh, who shall live another year,
Shall you, the young or you. the fair2
All, the presumptous thought forbear!
Within the churchyard's peaceful bounds
Come. pause and ponder Ger the mounds
Here beauty sleeps-that verdant length
OF grave confirms what once was strength
The child-the boy-the man are here:
You NAV not see another year,

Oh. who shall see another year,
Shall /, whose burning thirst of fame
No earthly power can quench or tame?
Alas that burning thirst may soon

All my fine visions. fancy wrought
And all this vortex whirl of thought,
Forever cease and disappear,
Ere dawns on earth another year

Democratic Doctrine.

There was lately commenced a systematic
effort to extend far and near the circulatio
of the La Crosse Democrat; and the result
has been a circulation which Pomroy the ed
itor, claims is second to only one political
newspaper in this country. 1t would be un-
fair to aver that there are not in the demo-
cratic party those who utterly condemn this
man and his paper; it is nevertheless true
that the large circulation has been obtained
on the score of the soundness of the paper
as Democratic organ and preacher of una
dulterated Democratic doctrines. With
these remarks we quote hefollowing from a
late number of the Democrat
1--WE tell you, Radicals and traitors, your
tool shall never enter the Presidential Man
sion, elected by negro votes. If this be
treason make the most of it. But bear in
mind that it is treason held by two millions
of white men, ,oho are ready to fight for
aohite supremacy! God help you, if the
struggle comes for spite of the Rump, your
at your command, white will win and there
will Ue such an outp0nrtng of Niger blood,
such a hanging of Radicals to sour apple
trees, as was never known since the world
emerged from chaos
In this connection hint, Democrats.
In sos clubs will be formed in every town
and city in the country. Let these clubs be
composed of men as ready to fight as to rote
Let them be drilled in the manual of arms
be as conversant with the science of militia
ry tactics as with Democratic principles.
They may not be required TO display that
knowledge, Int If nigger or Radtcat killing
should be IN order they will be as ready for
that business as to listen to the inaugural of
a Democratic President on the 4th day
March, 1869"
That the true spirit of latter-day Democra
cy is shadowed forth, in the above extract,
there is little doubt, and is well worthy the
serious consideration of all loving and
law abiding people. That the men who
sympathized with the recent rebellion, with
Andrew johnson as leader, are reckless
and fendish enough to Plunge the country in
to another wicked and causeless war, to ac-
cemplish the destruction of the Union, rather
than be defeated in their selfish desires for
power and place,is becoming more apparent
every day. Then, if the people would frustrate
the designs of these wicked and fendish
enemies of the country, and avoid another
horrible and destructive war, they must be
true to the Union and the principles for
which they and their sons so gallantly
and manfuly battled during the late rebel
lion. Will they remember these facts?

Remarkable Phenomena.

The Buffalo Courier says: "A letter from
Niagara Falls gives the following descrip-
ton of the remarkable phenomena of low
water at the Falls and elsewhere Thurs
day last was wonderful day in the annals
of Niagra Falls The strong easterly gale
sent the waters of Lake Erie westward, leav-
ing the Niagara river and its tributaries
lower than were ever known before. Buf
falo Greek was so low that all the vessels
in it were grounded, and Niagara Falls was
a rivulet compared with it's native grandeur.
The bed of the American branch was so de-
nuded that you could travel in its rocky bed
without wetting your feet, and mysteries
that were never before revealed came to
light on that day Rocks that were hereto
fore invisible appeared in their full grown
deformity upon the surface, and great was
the CONSERVATION among the finny tribes
The Three sisters were accessible to foot
passengers, and many traversed where hu-
man foot had never trod, with perfect impu-
nifty and dry feet. Below the Falls was the
wonder of wonders. The water had fallen
twenty feet lower than usual, and the oldest
inhabitants gazed in wonder at the grand
transformation. Near Suspension Bridge
the celebrated rock at Winners mill, upon
which drowning man caught and was res
cued several years ago, which barely pro-
iects its head above the water, was laid bare
twenty feet above the surface"
