TH= NEW ENGINES OF WAR The Chussepot, the Needle Gun asd the Mi- traillense. {Berlin (Sept. 7) correspondence of Lonjos Times.) Having been ineeasautly fired at from the Chasse: pot for a period of five weeks the German troops ‘are now ouly too competent to fori au idea of the merits ef tie French orduance rifle. Beiore the war the Germans, a3 a ryle, did not think very highly of the Chassepot, Nor was what they saw of Mts efficlency during the frst fortnight after the opening of hostilities of a kipd to alter their opin- tons. In the numerous skirmishes at Saarbruck which preceded the more serious conflict the Chasse- pot proved anything but a very formidable weapon. ‘ne French fired much, but hitrarely. Such bemg the case, what did it matter if they fired at almost Ancoucelvable distances? With these impressions the Germans confronted the enemy in the first pitched batties of Forbach and Wissem- bourg. Accuracy being no longer ictended, rapidity was the only thing wanted. But this is ‘the very quality in wich the Chassepot excels; and as tte range Js So Very great that an enemy can be fived at the moment he is seen, the period during which he finds himself attacked 1s as long as_ possi- bie, and the quickness of the weapon thus turned to the utmost account. It 13 this combination of juickness and long range Wich in shooting at large odies of men constitutes the excelience of the Chassepot; it is im this capacity for hurling a perfect bailstorm of lead in @ given direction, aud prolong- ing the time during which an enemy can be tuus pelted tf the utmost practicable limits, which, taken together, more than counterbalances ali deficiencies ar.sing from bad aiming or no aiming at all. I, as Is really tne case, a thonsand Frenchmen fre five thousand balls per minute, it matters litle if forty- mine out of fifty fall totgke effect. It perfectly answers a!l their purposes if @ thousand men cab Kili or disable a hundred of the enemy per minute. And now imagine this process extended over a period of ten minutes, the least time required for an enemy to traverse the 1,800 paces at which the Chas- sepot tells, and the number of discharges with which a French battalion meefs the attack of a Prussian battalion 1s by arithmetical evidence proved to be no less than 60,000. Of these, as we have seen, about 1,000 may be regarded as hitting the mark,’ which gives exactly one bullet for every one of the assault- ing force. Of course, this calculation of probable casualties exceeds the reality, a* an attacking col- umn rarely advances over 1,500 paces of open round, but, in most instances, avails itself of some intermediate shelter to cover 1s Iront and thin the ranks of the enemy before proceeding on its way. Stiil the figures mentioned sufticientiy account for dreadful iosses of the Germaus in the present cam- a ong the many memorable facts of the cam- palgn it will no doabt be duly chronicied by history that the range of the Chassepot being 1,800 paces and that of the needlegun ouly between 600 and 700, he Germans had to traverse 1,200 paces before their arm could be used to some purpose. Their gallantry in this 1s the More conspicuous When It is cousidered that the French, knowing the superiority of their fire and relying entirely upon it, nearly alw awaited them in strong and sheltered positi which, being difficult of attack, necessarily pi longed the time during which the Germans were e: posed to the bullet shower poured upon them. Asa rule, the French were in ditches excavated in tie upper parts oj mountainous slopes or they were in rifle pits and beliind earthworks in the open ieid, orthey took advantage of the stone houses and stone Walls abounding in the villages of the eastern roviN All these positions were selected with he greatest ingeuuity and fortified with the skill of accomplished cugincers. in many cases they had cleaved the ground around them and marked dis- tances on the trees or otherwise. Only the strongest moral incentives could have induced the Gerivans to cope with so many disadvantages, and take the buil by the horns again and again after tey had ouce realized the peril incidental to the act. Only the most manty valor, the most perfect mditerence to death at duty’s call, couid have brought their hel- meted hosts to march right into the jaws of deatit after they had ounce become aware of the dreadfuit probability there was of one half of them being shot down. But their morale overcame all obstacles, and, fighting baitle after patile, irrespective of losses, ultunately prevailed over a most deadly rife, ™m competition with which they had apparently no chance. It was this moral element 1n their char- acter which the French government had left out of caiculation in forming their plans. The kuew what Moltke’s strategy was, and im estimating their pros- pect of victory could not but have taken iuto account the sagactous moves to be expected of him on the chessboard of war. ‘hey were, nevertheless, sure ‘of success they thust have fancied that human flesh and blood could not stand their projeciiies, and it Was certainly no easy task, even for the stout hearted meu that undertook 1t, to convince them of their error. THE MITRAILLEUSE, At the commencement of the war it was the business of tke French to give confidence to their troops by exaggerating the value of the mitrail- louse. The Pruvsian soldiers were very naturally taught to despise it. Obviously the french generals should have taken an opportunity of obtaining a success OY two, by concentrating @ heavy imitrail- euse fire upoh a body of Prussians ut moderate range, 80 as to show off the weapon to the best ad- Vantage. There could have been no ditticulty about f, for the Prussians were known to be weak on the tier, It is iucomprehensibie why Marslial Le- Deut Aki not send al least 60,000 or 100,000 men into Germany at ouce, even if they could not be sent far for want of provi-ions and stoves. It is equaliy incomprehensible why tie first teial of the m- traiiieuse W4s made at lung range—about 1,s00 " The most deiall account of the direct action of mifraiiieuses Was given by the correspondent of a contemporary who was preseut at the battle of Gravelowte, je French were ta p n behind breastworks on @ hili, \nelr artillery was planied in rear, The mitvailieuses appear to have been in line wiih the foremost works.

But we have forgotten the flist battle betore Metz, when the French were attacked belore crossing the river, The Yew Naltonal, & Metz paper, speaks of an artillery tre which created great havoc in the Prussian ranks, aud says that two batteries of mutraiiieuses planed in the orchards of the farm of Belleoroix swept away whole ranks.at each discharge. It 13 ditticuit to say wnat was dove by the mitrailleuses during the battle be- fore Sedan. A French correspondent writes toa contemporary:—‘l have seen the destruction.of @ full regiment of Prussian dragoons by a powerful battery of mitrailleuses;” but lis head appeared to be rather too excited for accuracy of intelilgence, and ovr special correspondent with the Prussia army had not beard of any spectaily good work done by the mitraiileuses, Tois is somewhat surprising, as their yaiue ouglt to be shown in defence of post- tious. But, on the other hand, the French bad neg- lected to occupy a hill only three-quariers of @ mile distant and on their flank, The Prassians brought batteries up under cover of the fogs of the morning, and the Inverior of the French 1otrenchments was at their mercy. Jt is a curious fact that on every occa- sion when French intrenchments have been carried there has been a Prussian force humerous enough to outflunk and take thew in enfliade or reverse, Such dre a few of tie details we have picked up to illustrate the action of the mitrailleuses in une war. CASUALTY IN PROVIDENCE BAY. Swamping of a Sailboat and Drowning of ‘two Mer, on Sunday Morning. {From the Providence Journal, September 20.] On Friday evening last a party consisting of Coionel Dutly, of the United States regulars, his father, and his son, James Dufly, aged nineteen, with Frank Y. Avery, aged eighteen, aud William E, twenly-our, went on an excursion to Ne salboat, named the Anna, hired from Sayers, It was their intention to return Saturday night, but, owing to the heavy sea, they determined to remain till the weather moderated. Colonel Dutty aud his father returned to Providence Satur- day evening, on the Bay Queen, leaving young Duty, «with Dunn aud Avery, in charge of the boat. The latter started back the same evening, and came as far as Warwick Neck, where they laid over for the night. Sunday morne ing, being anxious to get back to the city, they un- wisely put off in the heavy gale that was blowing, and when off the north end of Patience, the boat was filled by the beavy sea and sank, me the mast about three feet above the water. wiry stripped oif his two coats and started to swim ashore, and advised the others to follow him. One started with him, but the other clung tothe mast aud refused to leave, and the man who started to swim with bim soon turned back, fearing he could Bot reach the — renewed bis hold on the mast with his cOmpanion, Duffy reached the shore afier swimming nearly a mile, completely exhausted, and whep he was abie to look to- wards the boat could see nothing of the other men. The only resident on the island, whose name we did not learn, kindly took Mr. Du homme and kept him all night and furnished him with a coat in the morning. He came over Monday morning in Captain Loveti’s boat and landed at Mr, George ©. Nightingale’s farmhouse on Warwick Neck, and came from there to the city in a carriage, When tie Lulu came past the wreck Monday morn- ing on her return the mast was still out of water and the sail floating alongside, but noihing was seen of Dunn or Avery. Young Dafly has been nearly insensible all day from the effects of his struggle for lite. William E. Dunn was twenty-four ears of age, @ machinist by trade, and resided on Jenkins street. Frank Y, Avery was eighteen years ot age, the sonef Wiliam D. Avery, machinist, No. 627 North Main street. He was @ scholar at the High school, as is also James Duffy. The relatives of the missing men were sanguine yesterday that they were not lost, and being good swimmers might have managed, after ali, to nd their way ashore, aud Colonel Duffy was proposing in the afternoon to take a boat and go down the river to look for them, A FEMALE MURDERER. A Woman Arrested in Bed for the Murder of fier Husband a Year Ago. {From the Decatur (Ill.) Magnet, Sept. 14.) Las: night, at about eleven o'clock, a lady by the name of Mrs. Ciisa Rome was taken from her bed at a private boarding house in this city and carried back manacied by au officer to the place of her for- mer residence, Nashville, Tenn. It appears from information gained from McDonald, the officer, that about one year ago this Mra, Rome murdere her husband with poison and threw him In an old sink upon the premises. After she found out that suspicion rested upon her of {oul play she left her pace of residence and went to Callfornia, where she remained near San Francisco for several months. Detectives were on the alert, but could not find out her piace of abode tn California. Becoming un- easy—learning that she was pursued by ofticers— she two weeks ago left tor the Atlantic States. By some means or other McDonald heard she was in Chicago, and immediately visited that city, where he was informed (by porn by @ relattve of this woman that she had gone to Decatur. He took the first train for (his city, and, after looking around, found her in bed, as above stated. She has four children, One of her oldest sons ts cashier of the First National Bank of Nashville, and her eldest daughter ts the wife of a Cougressman residing in Tennessee, AN ALLEGED SMUGGLER ARRESTED. ‘The Chief of the detectives of the United States Secret Service division last evening arrested Charles Knight, first mate of the ship Hudson, of Grinnell, Minturn & Co.’s London line of packets, on the charge of smuggling a valuable bill of laces into this port, It 18 alleged that Knight has admitvea that he fs guilty, and the detectives devoutly hope that before the United States Commissioner to-day he will compromise others. It is declared by the Central Office detectives, where Knight is locked up, that he is innocent of the charge, and that he will be able to show his innocence. Mr. Knight 1s an Englishman, who may not be familiar with the severe laws against smuggling, aud be may possibly escape punishment, A PISTOL FIGHT IN THE BOWEAY. Last evening two brothers, Thomas and Patrick Gerrity, of No. 225 Second avenwe, entered car No. 66 of the Third avenue line at the corner of Bowery and Hester street, and had a dispute with the con- ductor, John Donohue, about the tariff.

An auction sale took piace at the Clty Hall yester- day of all the buildings on the line of the proposed opening of Lexington avenue between Seventy-fizst and Ninety-seventh streets inclusive. The extension of the avenue was authorized by the Legislature at the last session. The auctioneer was Benj. P. Fairchild, and the sale lasted nearly three hours, It was under the superintendence of the Commissioners of Public Works, The avenue is ultimately to be extended to Harlem river; but, as the maps of the ground be- yond Ninety-seventh street are not prepared, the gale of the buildi on that part has ween post- med toafuture day. The majority of the dwell- ings sold were mere shanties, and brought various rices, from one dollar to $140. In the cases where insignificant prices were realized the buildings werg bought by the owners, who were poor per- sons, and whose bids were not competed with by the bystanders. wooden houses of a better class brought from $200 to $1,000; the few brick houses from $300 to $1,900, and the three brown stone front dwellings obtained still better prices, They had tronts of only sixteen fect. Cases occurred where parts of buildings only were disposed of, a3 the remaining portion was outside of the line of extension. ‘rhe property purchased must be re- moved within thirty days, after which time work on the avenue will begin. The aggregate amount of the sale was less than $109,000, There were about two hundred items In the sale, ranging from three story and basement brown stoue front mansions down to the poorest shanties. ‘The terins were ten per cent cash and the baiance to be paid before three o'clock P.

The executive committee reported, in obedience to @ resolution passed at ® previous meet- ing, that a Woodford and Kaufmann campaign club had been established in each of the twenty-one tricts, with 8 membership for all of 1,006 men, that within the present month ‘the total number of members would reach over 2,000, The treasurer re- ported that the cost of the hall for the campaign would be $600, The finance committee reported the receipt of $515 for the campaign. General LAWRENCE moved that the Finance Com- mittee be requested toeall on the State central or- ganization for a subscription to help on the soldiers in the work. Colonel MoRGAN opposed the motion on the ground thatthe soldiers should fight inthe coming cam- paign as goldiers simply, avd not hand themselves over to politicians, some of whom he be- Meved were under the ‘influence’ of Tammany Hall. They all knew that the politicians'would re- pudiate the soldiers when the latter.refused to join some one or other of tne cliques into which these oliticians were spilt among themselves. General wrence, after hearing Coionel Morgan's remarks, offered to withdraw nis motion, but General Ketcham moved an amendment, to the eifect that the Executive Committee be empowered to confer with the Siate Central organization as to the best means for carrying on the campaign, which was adopted unanimously, A committee of five, namely, General Lawrence, General Ketcham, Colonel Mor- gan, Colonel #urns and Mr. C.

The Finance Committee was empowered to purchase a suitable aay aeoey ee be placed over the en- trance to the building on Broadway. After the above business was transacted several addresses were made, all, of course, touching on the campaign. After some remarks of an encour- aging character from Captain Decuna, of the Boys in Blue, and Mr, Barnard, of the German organiza- tion, Colonel Alcott in a spirited address considered the claims General Woodford had upon the soldiers and every loyal voter on account of his having been to the front when the country was in danger. In alluding to the Rochester Convention the speaker characterized the delegates that constituted that body as so many persons in assembly for the pur- pose of future plundering of the people. General PLEASONTON narrated how during the war it was very dilicult to secure promotion for deserv- ing men, on account of the rotien principles of some Governors of States. The late Governor, Andrew, he named as one who thoroughly understood what it was to be a soldier in the field, and was ever prompt in forwarding to the field the necessary consent for the promotion of the soldier who had won it by bravery. But he (the speaker) had met with another class of Governors, who never could be got to understand why men should be pro- moted for deeds of bravery in serving the nation, In some instances soldiers whom he had nemed for promotion had come to him and told him that judging from the letters received from friends promotion at that Governor’s hands was an impos- sibility without the stamps being put duwa. The in- ference was plain. After some remarks from General Tremaine, Gene. rai Laurens and Captain Cregan the mecting ad- journed to Friday evening next. SOLDIERS AND SAILORS’ CENTRAL CLU3. Healing the Repablican Breach—A New Basis of Settlement. ‘The Soldiers and Sailors’ Central Club held a re- gular meeting at 760 Broadway last evening, which was very largely attended and was extremely en- thusiastic throughout. Colonel J. H. Duganne, the President, presided, and when the usual routine of business had been gone through with made a few pointed and stirring remarks, which were received amid shouts of applause and various other demon- strations of enthusiasin and approval. He said that they were now about fully organized throughout the whole city, and he was happy to say that every member—not excepting a single onc— was into the business heart and soul. There was one thing, however, which he deprecated from the very bottom of his soul, and that was the faction fight now going on between themselves and what is known as the “Soldiers and Satiors’ Central Com. mittee’—a body presided over by Genera) Alfred Pleasonton. To iusure anything like snecess in the coming campaign it was highly essential tnat they should be firmly united. During the past week he had been putting forth every etfort to eifect some sort of arrangement whereby the two organizations might become united, and by combining their whoie strength together accomplish the onject for which they labored—namely, the election of the republican ticket in the State of New York. So tar, however, he had failed; but asa true soldier he was deter- mined to persevere aud not give UP. the ship so lo! ‘as there was @ splinter left, and, therefore, as a last resort he proposed to Yer a set-of resolutions, which, if adopted, he thought would settle the whole question. ‘The resolutions were then read by the speaker, amid great enthusiasm on the part of the whole assemblage. They start off by declaring that the Soldiers and Sailors’ Central Club discard all per- sonal motives, and urge & unity of all honorable men who have worn the blue in sup- port of the republican candidates—Wood- Jord and Kaufmann. They ‘‘invite in a spirit of candor and courtesy the Soldiers and Sailors’ Cen- tral Committee, prssided over by General Alfred Pleasanton, tosubmit its claims, together with those of the Soldiers and Sailors’ Central Club, for aajust- ment to a committee to be composed ol five repre- sentative republicans,’? and to compose such com- mittee they name General Stewart L. Woodford, ‘Thomas Murphy, Jackson 8. Shultz, A. B. Cornell and General George H. Sharpe, General BARNUM seconded the motion for the adoption of the resolution in 2 few remarks. He aid not Know, however, but that they would by adopt- ing them appear in the eyes of the public as atiach- iug by far too much Importance to these outsiders. He thought it might appear very much like sending outa weil appointed division to disperse a few old apple women. However, he hoped the resolution would be adopted, as he was greatly de-irous of ace. Peqeneral Fosrer nexthad his say. He wanted two More meu put on that commiitee, and he was afraid of three of those who had been chosen. A general debate sprang up upon his motion, but it was j finally adopted, General Cochran and General Sigel being the two gentlemen chosen, after which the resolutions as amended were unanimously adopted. General Hall, Colonel Marshall and Chaplain G: lord and others addressed the audience, after which the meeting adjourued, KINGS CGUN Y POLITICS. Mectiag of Democratic Citizens of Brooklyn—Economy aud a Reduction of Taxes Desired—The Reformers in Council. Pursuant to circular issued last week by @ num- ber of energetic and steadfast opponents of the democratic faction in power a meeting was held last evening at Montague Hall for the purpose of effecting an organization. Shortly after eight o'clock, there being about two hundred persons present, Mr. George Olney took the chair and called the meeting to order. He then stated that the object of the cali for the present meeting was to effect an organization which would enable honest citizens to bee democratic ring of Brooklyn. Circulars had been seni out for the purpose uf bringing iniuential citizens together for this purpose. On motion Mr, olney was chosen permanent chafr- man and John Kempton secretary. The chair then roposed that the meeting endorse tue action of the Rochester Convention in the nomination of John T, Hoffman for Governor and the other ollicers on the democratic State ticket, The present movement in which they were about to enter was merely against the local city and county officers. The chair said that he recognized many old wheel horses in the party who were then present. ‘These men would nave remained with the party in power in this city had they not been shamefully deceived in them. Tue ring was uying to perpetuate iis power by binding closer the chains of oppression about the people of Brookiyn.

SPEECH OF MR. ROGERS. Ex-Congressman Andrew Jackson Rogers was the next speaker. He said:—There is but one funda- mental principle in the democratic party on which its hopes are founded—the union of States and the constitution. It is to ee the Union and the constitution that the democratic. party fight this fight. Tho radical party, from the time of Abraham Lincoln till to-day, have proclaimed that the republican paces was dead. It is not dead. It is now as before true to the country and the constitution, During the rebellion the feli hand of radicalism cast its blighting influence on the fire- sides ef thousands of families, Before the democ- racy of New York shall die it will dig a grave and set up a Wall of fre against the party who would interfere with the constitution. When the demo- cratic party shall die there will be AN END TO LIBERTY regulated by law. The spirit of George Washington still pervades the land to an extent which will pre vent the success of the infamous schemes of the radicals. The day is not far distant when our sacred flag will really gather beneath its folds the Thirty- seven States of the Union, and will open upto all who have honesty and talent the avenues of pre- ferment in the country. If the democracy had been in power the infamous bid system and drum- —_ court martials would not have disgraced our story. There is no internal affair in any State in this country which is not based on the popular will of the State. When an attempt is made to centratize power in the general. government our liberty is in danger, And so it is that I come to ask you to vote for John T. Hoffman for Governor, in order to pre- vent military rule in this State, Speeches were also made by Mr. Winchester Brit- ton and Mr, A. J. Henderson, of Missouri, ‘The meet! roke up with loud cheers for the demo- cratic ticket. THE VIR and bie worthy ever been castin the Tenth ward fora A REPUBLICAN STATE CO} VENTION. A Full Represontation—Permanent Organiza- tion—The April Conference Confirmed— Platiorm and Principles of the National Repubiican Party Eudorsed—Adoption of Resolutions by Acclamation—A Stormy Scene—Nearly n Row=—[he Convention Breaks Up. RICHMOND, VA., Sept, 22, 1870, The Republican State Convention met to-day at twelve M. in the custom house. Judge Alex! ander H. Rivers, chairman of the Executive Committee, read the call under which the Convention assembled, after which Samuel F. Maddox, repre sentative m the Legislature from Chesterfield county, was [chosen temporary chairman, The object of this Convention was to confirm tne action of the tripartite conference of the various republican elements in the State, held 224 April last, when the three committees respectively of the Porter republicans, the Walker republicans and the True republicans harmonized, Prominent among the delegates were United States Senator Lewis, Congressmen Platt, Porter, Ayers and a number of the republican members of the State Legislature, As has been the case at all former conventions of the party, the representation was full, and a large majority of the delegates were colored. It was feared there would be a conflict in the body, particu- larly among the delegates from this district, wh@re Col seman Porter, wlio has been renominated, is decidedly unpopular; but to prevent this a caucus ‘was held prior to the meeting of the body, at which the resolutions, organization, &c., were already cut and dried. Porter had played his cards well, and the feeble efforts of his opponents were effectually choked off, A committee on permanent organizations was then cd teabiey and during their absence ex-Gov- ernor Wells was invited to address the body. Com- ing to the stand he briefly urged the right of every citizen to the ballot box, io all the rights guaranteed by the constitution, and particularly tie right of colored men to sit as jurors. He referred to the fact that a delegation of colored men had called on Governor Walker a few days since demanding their rights in the jury boxes, and they were informed that the matter lay with the Legislature, This was false, It did not lay with the Legislature, but with the ofMice holders. A great wrong was at the foundation of this whole matter. ‘The fault was not with the Governor, or the law, bat with the oitice holders who were dishonest, unfaithful and recreant to their duties, In tils city the office holders were holding their positions by fraud. Their republican opponents were elected by a majority of 285 votes, yet they Were not allowed to take their offices, Strike at the root of the evil by | electing honest oftice holders—republican —oftice holders—and then you will have your rights in the jury box; and if republicans are now excluded from their offices perhaps 1t may next be the conservatives: who Will be out of office. Appealing to the body to act harmoniousiy and vigvrously in the ensuing campaign 1n order to insure the defeat of thelr com- mon enemy, he concluded amid great applause. ‘The Committee on Permaueut Orgauization re- poried, through their chairman, Senator Lewis, John A, Harmon for permanent president o1 the Con- vention, and eight Vv. presidents, one from each congressional district. Soon after a tumult arose over the appolatment of @ committee on party organization in the State, which was summarily queiled by the President, who decided upon & committee of nine, without any regard to voting or parliainentary usage. The Con- yention then took @ recess until four ?. M, At that hour the Convention reassembled, and the Committee on Resolutious reported, through Mr. Charies H. Porter, the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted by acclamation: The republican party of Virginta, in convention assembled, do resolve as follo Fia:—That they approve and reaflirm ihe principles set | forth as the creed of the party by the Republican Conference | of April last, and earnestly invite the co-operation of ali men | upon that liberal and comprehensive basis, | Acemd-That the pledge then given of support to the policy of Congress and the udministration of General Graut hus been justibed by the great achievements of these branches of the government in the reduction of the public-debt, the en- | hancement of the public credit, the augmentation of the rev- enues, the lessening of the taxes, th on of the cur- Teucy among the States, the saving of Interestby funding of the national debt, the reduction of the army and navy ex- penses, the restoration of peace, the growth o¢ the cou all the elements of wealth and population, and the tion of all the blessings of seif-governmen: under the a\ of the largest Itberty and the equaiity of ali men before tue aw.

A scene then followed beyond all description, The entire house was on the fidor. The yells and cries were @ perfect storm, that was more like that of a riot than a deliberative bouy. Mr. FLYNN (white), of pamphel county, and Mr. Moss, of Buckingham, both threatened to leave the party and the Conventton, and declared they would not be governed by gag law. The CWAIR put the question if they should be. allowed tospeak, which the Convention granted,' and ‘Mr, Moss said he was submissive to the majority,’ but the chair had attempted to take away their rights, and against that he rebelled, Mr. FLYNN spoke ina similar strain, when the tumult again became as violent as ever. A motion to adjourn was both lost and carried, if the roar of “ayes” and the roar of “noes” was any- criterion to judge by. The chairman became help-- less and the Convention then broke up in a scene of great disorder, leaders from each Con; lonal dis- trict calling for immediate meetings of their ael tions, and Mr, Porter exclaiming, “God save t!

MR. ATTORNEY GENERAL AKERMAN AND THE VICB PRESIDENCY, The New Era of this city and the Gecrgia Republican of Augusta have almost simulta- neously nominated Attorney General Akerman for the Vice Presidency, subject to the action of the Republican National Convention, We think this step impolitic, and, at least, premature. In the first place, we do not know that it is settled that the present distinguished occupant of that oflice wishes to retire from it, and we know that ic is the wish of Mr. Akerman himself, as well as the ao body of the republicans in the land, that Mr. ‘olfax should encounter in the republican ranks no opposition for the place which he so ably and hon- orably fills. In the second place, we think the repub- licans of Georgia can be more fitly employed at pre~ sent in bringing our party In the State into working order than in oper ae on the subject of national nominations. In the third place, hb presentation of Mr. Akerinan’s name at thi may do him injustice among those who do not know him, He is in the State, and such publications here may give rise to the suspicion that they are of hia prompting. We weil know the contrary, and nobody who understands his character will harbor such ®& suspicion for an instant. Everybody in Atlanta knows, too, that he has been here for nearly a week perigee on & bed of serious sickness, inter- dicted by his conversation. We also know that he never had the slightest notice of any such announcements until he was informed of them after their publication, but- peor abroad do not know all these facts, and their inferences from such publications may be wholly at variance with the truth. In the fourth place, we are sure that Mr. Akerinan has no desire to mingle himself with the personal competitions of polit! and that his highest ambition ig to serve the coun try well in his present conzenial sphere of duty. i ne ORE AOE AMBEROS HOLDER, FILE AND BINDER.
