SENATOR GORDON, of Georgia, in q
recent letter, corrects misreprcsenta-
ton made with regard to one of his
speeches, and thus defines the carpet
bagger:-
"Its Specification is as we'll defined as
that of black man or white man; and 1t
means in Mississippi just what it means
all over the South. 1t embraces that
class of political adventures who came
to the South Immediately after the war,
and by dishonest means obtained pos
session of our State governments, and
have administered them for the most
corrupt, selfish and sordid ends, and
who have done more to destroy us, to
ALLEVIATE the races and keep alive sec
tional animosity than the war and al
things else combined. L did call upon
the negroes and whites, Democrats and
honest Republicans Of Mississippi, to
unite at the polls to drive from power
this class of men, who have cursed that
State with what | sincerely believe to
be the worst government that exists
upon earth"

THE differences between the Town
Council of Anderson and the Board OF
Trade have been settled, by agreeing
upon o proposition that Mr.. J: c. Keys
act as Cotton Weighcr until Saleday in
October, when committee, consisting
of Masters of Oranges and two repre-
sentatives from the Board of Trade
designate weighcr, who may or may
not decide the proper allowance for wa.
ter, according to the decision of said
committee, and the wcieher to receive
! five cents per bale as compensation fol
his services, to be'paid by the purchaser
This is to be final settlement OF the
whole matter.
Gen. Butler has accepted and invita-
ton to speak on finance before the Bos'
ton Board of Trade in this way: "The
| Importance Of the subject, the fact that
nv views of the financial necessities OF
the country differ, probably, from those
of many OF the Board of Trade. and Ger
tainly from the platform of the polit-
| ical party with which l have been ac-
customed to act, decide me to break my
determination not at present to take
part in any public discussions which
NOV seem to have political bearing.
With many thanks for the honor, |
will endeavor, health permitting, to be
with the Board of Trade on the l4th ol
October.
Mainc's vote is not one Of tendency
merely; it is q decisive one, y 1000 NIL
nority in an aggregate vote of 100000,
against an II 900 minority one year ago,
is no result of chance, but the plain
fruit of resolute intention. 1t will have
the same influence, both at homo and
abroad, that clear victory would have
had. Upon all voters in this time OF
general judgement its effect would be
unmistakable. Massachusetts will all
swcr to Maine in the same strain in NO.
