GOSHEN.

On Monday night, the Grant and Colfax Club of this place, was addressed by Hon. Donald J. Warner of Salisbury, who spoke for an hour and half with great candor, force and effect. We hope this gentleman will speak often during the campaign. No one can appeal to Democrats more convin- cingly tha. Mir. Warner. Short addresses were also made by Hon. 0. B. Andrews of Litchfeld, and by Henry D. Wing, Esq. of Goshen, and several excellent campaign songs were sung by the Glee Club.
 The Litchfeld Company of Boys in Blue were in attendance, made 8 very fine appearance in their new uniforms, and were warmly welcomed by the Republicans of Goshen. After the meeting they were hospitably entertained at Gen. Cooks and with three cheers for the Goshen Grant Club, three cheers for the speakers, and three more for their host, they started on thax ssant moonlight ride to Litchfield.
 CORNWALL
 A Convention of the Churches in the western part of Litchield North Confer ence, vas held ct North Cornwall, Sept. 24, the object being to effect an organiza- tion for more efficient labor in tho field of Homo Eyangeization.
 A canvass with reference to this object had been previously made by School Dis trict divisions, through all the towns inclu- ded in this arrangement, and full reports of mucl interest were presented and read at this meeting. These reports indicated very clearly what work had been done, what was now doing, aud whet remained to be ddne.
 lmpoi itant questions as to how further successf fll results in the above line could be attaiI ted, were discussed with much ear nestness by Dr. Eldridge, and Rev. Messrs. Bassett, Brush, Teal, Goodenough, Powell, Payson and others. and measures were adopted which, it is hoped, will result in abundant success.
 - The milk question is still subject of much discussion among the farmers Milk cans are rapidly taking the place of churns and cheese tubs, and the indications are that the latter will go out of use for the most part. 80 far as the northern part of the town is concerned.

They are at present receiving the milk oi about 200 COWS, with prospect of doub- ling the quantity on the 1st of October, when there is to be an advance in the price of milk. Seventy to seventy. five cans are now sent'ually from West oorn- wall station.

The Camilla Massacre.

~~--~>~~~s~
 The facts now ascertained about this atrocious butchery, are briefly these:-.
 Capt. Wm. P. Pierce, Kentuckian by birth, and the Republican nominee for Congress, in the 2d District of Georgia, and John Murphy Republican Candidate for Presidential, Hector, commenced on the 18th inst, stumping tour over their part of the State. They began at Ameri- GUS. Here they were first warned out ot the hotel, as Radicals, the unarmed ne- groes who had assembled to hear them, were driven out of the square by armed whites, and they made their escape with diff ficulty through pickets stationed to kill them.
 On the 18th inst. ;, thesc gentlemen or anized 8 procession for @ meeting they had called at Camilla. A few of their par ty were armed On arriving near the place, they were met by a messenger, who told him that "the people of Camilla and Mitchell county, aoould permit no radical speaking in CansiAa" They kept on, how ever, and were soon after met by the sher- if, who also tried to prevail on them not to enter the town, Gin deference to the wish of the citizens" Mir. Pierce answer ed that he had a right to speak in Camilla. and should do so. On reaching the town. the procession was fired on by fellow named Johns, wounding two negroes in the band wagon. The fire was returned, and Johns wounded. A party of whites who had been stationed in ambush, then began firing. Those of the colored people who had pistols, endeavored for while to de- fend themselves, but were soon routed. The white men pursued, despatching the wounded with repeated shots, hunting the flying negroes, it is said, eoith blood hounds, and butchering them mercilessly all day. Pierce was shot in tho leg, but escaped. MaEEplhhy; was WAS oyertaken several miles from good treatment, which was not kept. On. ly two whites are believed to have been in jured, while from 50 to 100 freedmen were killed or wounded.
 There can be no reasonable doubt that the view taken by Governor Bullock is the correct one. and that this frightful massa ere was the result of a concerted attempt to crush out every thing like fair political discussion in Southwestern Georgia, in the very outset. LET US HAVE PEACE"

Murder in North Goshen.

 On Tuesday, Robert Palmer, son of An drew Palmer, was killed by man named Harvey Chamberlain at North Goshen. The deceased had hired house of his un- ole Lemuel Palmer which he underlet to Chamberlain. There was dispute as to the terms of the latter agreement. Pal mer maintaining that the premises were to be given up whenever he might request, Chamberlain claiming lease for year. Palmer carried some goods to the house on Monday, and, finding it looked, broke in and deposited his goods. On Tuesday he went to the house, found it locked, and his goods thrown out of the door. He attemp- ted to get in at the window, when he was shot by Chamberlain, and died soon after.
 
 RB We must entreat the nervous Boy in Gray who edits the Sentinel, to endure the consequences of the attempt to to resurrect his "Lost Cause," more oom- posedly. He must expect that when Boys in Gray dictate presidential candidates and frame reconstruction resolutions, Boys in Blue will re-organize. They feel entitled to the fruits of their victory. Still, we have no desire to infict unnecessary pain, and will relieve such of his fears, and give him such wholesome advice as the extremi- ty of his case will allow:
 In the first place, the following hysteri- cal notice was unnecessary and useless:- An important meeting of the J. D. A. on Sat urday evening. Be on hand carly. There will be something interesting to all.
 It is entirely beyond the J. D. A. to stop the new movement, and it might as we'll recognize that fact at once.
 2d. Though there are many Boys in Blue to be found in old Litchield, they are not yet numbered by brigades and di- visions, as the Boy in Gray, in his terror. imagines
 Sd. Although here, as elsewhere, the reb- indignation. the Boys in Blue do not "rob the cradle and the grave," after the manner of the Democracy, but enrol only voters, or those soon to become such. Hence, too, the Sentinel's old-fashioned tre- nor at the prospect of "colored troops D is without cause.
 4th. The raid, eastward, upon the prem ises of the "poor widow" was planned and executed, as the Sentinel might have expected, chiefly by Democrats!
 9th. The Boy in Gray is hardly jus tified in sneering at the cheap grocery of Lieut.. Kilborn, even if he didn't find just the kind of "groceries" he expected. 9th. Tho exploits of the Boy in Gray, while in arms on his side, were hardly of that heroic nature that would justify much rldlcule of those who " fought, bled and dled' to just about the same extent on the other side
