A STRANGE VIsIT.- Yesterday
evening The lower wards Of the city
were visited by thousands Of dim
inutive birds, who crowded The house
tops and flew into the windows that
were open. Several hundred were
captured. The visitors looked very
much like wrena ard wax birds, but
whence they came and where they
are bound is a mystery Their mer>
~ chip could he heard on the honse
tops and on the telegraph wires all
night. Two distinct species were
caught in the Nes0S and Courier Of
fee. one of which resembles a wren.
and he other a blue jaw, except that
it was much smaller in size The
superstition is that they we're blown
here by the heavy northeast storm.

Chairman Elk. Com and Others
GEN. GARrRELL IN FAYETTE-
WILLIE.

Our distinguished elector is max
ing the welkin ring with his elo
quence, and is setting a noble exam
pie for his colleagues. IL is high
time they were all upon the hustings
educating the people in the issues OF
the canvass and the character of the
candidates. The Jonesboro NeaCs of
the 9th gives the following account
of General Gastrell's great speech
before the Democracy of Fayette:
"This distinguished Georgian ad
dressed the Democracy of Fayette
last Saturday at Fayetteville. He
reviewed the rise and progress of
the Radical party; showed that un-
der the semblance of specious phil>
anthrophy it concealed the demon If
hate and destruction demonstrated
its destructive work as being at war
with the fundamental ideas of the
American Constitution, and showed
ccnclusively the march it is making
towards a centralized government,
and the complete overthrow of re
cognized State Rights. That moth
ing hitherto had been able to check
or delay its onward course No con-
stitutional guarantee, no exposition
of the Supreme Court of the United
States was needed by, and TO day its
defiant motto was rule or ruin.
He reviewed the corruption in all
the departments of government, and
the lavish expenditures of public mo
ney
The prodigal waste of public
land, the inequalities of the burdens
of taxation, the rottenness of the
revenue d partment and arraigned
the whole as imbecile, unworthy
and dis race to the civilization of
the age
He dwelt upon the great necessity
of the hour, unity and harmony in
the Democratic ranks, the only hope
of redemption from our periIOus con-
dition.
The General threw his whole soul
into his speech, and enthused his
audience with the same spirit that
actuated him. His effort is regard
ed as one of great power and elo
quence. Long may he live to ups
hold the true banner of mis- country"

THE GREAT QUESTION

N. y. Sun After all, the greatest
question to be settled in the ap
preaching election of President and
Nice-Presdent, is whether or no
the self government of the people
can be maintained in the United
States. If, in spite Of all revelations
Of the corruption and incompetence
which characterize the Republican
party and its leaders if, in spite of
BELNNAr's bride taking, RoDEsoN's
robbery, FIsn'S dishonorable cons
plia'y with Spain, GRANTS and
BABg1Ck's relations with fraudulent
disuIiers, and all the rest Of that long
aod terrible catalogue of crime and
miseoyernment, the Republican par
ty can still carry this election, the
fact wall prove that the olliceholding
machine is too strong for the people,
and chat the party in power can new
or be turned out by the regular
method Of an honest election. In
comparison with this question, all the
other questions on which men are to
vote ON the first Tuesday of Novem-
Der are OF inferior moment.
