Washington I7teHlqefCer says:-
mir. Hill was for several terms member oil
Congress from Georgia, and refused to withdraw
with his colleagues in 1861. He remained
consistent adherent OF the Federal Government
during the late war; was in favor of the Con-
gressonal plan OF reconstruction but voted for
General John b. Gordon for Governor, the DEM
ocratic nominee, who was defeated by the radical
carpet bagger X. b. Bullock. Mr.. Hill Is about
ttty.fve years OF age, of fine personal appear
anCe, and very clever abilities. He has ever been
a staupch old line Wing. DR.. Homer Virgil
Miller is likewise an old line Wing, was
warm advocate of the election of John 9. Breck-
inrdge, was surgeon of the celebrated Eighth
Georgia regiment, was member of the late
Reconstruction Convention of Georgia, and,
like his colleague, Mr.. Hill, supported General
Gordon for Governor. DR.. Miller is gentle
man of varied accomplishments, and is one of
the most accomplished orators of the South.
DR.. Miller is about fifty years OF age. Both OF
the newly-elected Senators are natives OF
South Carolina, and have been residents of
Georgia from bOyhood."

Adherents of the "Lost Cause" In Council
thus describes the Democratic State Convention
at Atlanta, Ca, on the oath inst:
II have witnessed many Democratic demon
strations both during and since the war, but
never one that made deeper impression on my
mind than the one IN this city yesterday. More
than ever am convinced that the essential fea-
lures of Democracy are the same every where;
that it is an organization utterly inimical
TO the best interests of the country; that its
triumph in the coming election would result
inevitably in q renewal of bloodshed aud war;
| ma verdict the DpOnln Is
it, it does not intend TO submit; and that only
by a Republican victory, overwhelming in its
dimensions, can the country, and especially the
South, be saved from further desolation and
strife. 1t was the largest political meeting |
have seen in the South. The multitudes were
filed with Rebel enthusiasm and heat. Most of
them DO doubt imagined they had given death
blow to the Republican cause. Strange as it
may sound, however, the great crowd present
at the meeting secured its failure as political
effort, tor it encouraged the speakers to make
assertions so eXtravagant, and to indulge
| in language so violent, Incorporate, and
unwIse-in short, it encouraged them to
SO complete a revelation of their real
objects and Designs that every Republican
who listened was doubly confirmed in his faith;
every doubter was won over to the right side,
and many who had hitherto unhestatingly fol-
lowed the wicked men who are misleading the
people i'll this State had their eyes opened as
never before, and felt that it would be impOssi-
bic 10 follow longer. There is a large class of
men in the South, not yet enrolled in the Re-
|
| civil strife, and earnestly desire harmony aud
! peace All that is necessary TO bring Them over
to the support of the good cause is to show them
| the wild and wicked, and revolutionary designs
| of the Democratic leaders. Many OF this class
! were present at the meeting yesterday, and IN
! the speeches of Bob TOombs, Howell Cobb. Ben
Hill, and others, they saw revealed the purposes
| OF the Rebel Democracy, and learned how utterly
hopeless it is to look for peace until that Organi-
| Zaton is destroyed.
Opinion of General Meads's Adminis-
| traCiOns
| Reviewing General Meades course as Military
| Commander, the Atlanta (Ga.) Era says:-
| In spite OF complications aud embarrassments
that confronted every step forward these officers
| humane, and kind manner. No man can say
| to-day that he was wantony oppressed, that he
| has suffered outrage at the hands of the military
| authorities. The officers, from General Meade
| down, have done no more than was imperatiyely
demanded of them, for they were acting
under orders that were as ire
vocable as the claws of the Medes
and Persians." They were not responsible for
their duties, but we're responsible for the man
| ner in which they discharged them. Hence
| there was nothing left for their guidance but
| the plain letter of the law, which admitted of
| but one construction, and prescribed but one
| method for its execution. We have had inter.
course with most if not all the officers who have

military district, and have had some opportu
nifty TO discover their feelings towards the South.
