"A CHARGE TO KSBP X HAVE-" *A beautiful ircident connected with the g ea* Democratic v'etary occurred in AlUata. Ga . and that has t ot as vat been pnbHalted. Tb(ft i? a 11 1* cannon in that city kmwn as Ilia "ConsM uM?u's Cannon." It is an (ulliutiiatiriHy patriotic Dim^craiij gun, aa I was use I to ee'?br?ta averv victory ef our fany since Mia redemption rf tha S 't.tli front reconstruction rulo. After nnnoum'mg the glad tidings in Atlanta, litis li tis piece of t dnsnoa naVes a pit/ri-nsga over I lis c ia e. but it is he'd in as nun b reveraacs as lir old Liberty lb 11, ami art?r the demonstrations are over tilwnV* finds its w?y )>ack home. Columns bare heen written about the (un, and it was Henry Grady's ? spao al pet. In the Pie-idmtia' c nt?st tf 18?t$, Grsdy placed a Itesey charge tn litis cannon, with the rxpecta'io-i of touching it off with Ids own I and io es ehrnfS Cleveland's flection, llut ilia banner of ttr party went down before 'lie onslaught of purchased llepublican tnii-ts, st.d of cur-a the li t'egun remained dumb. Grady w as sorely distressed over tb" re?nlt. 1 m i.ncr for an insisnt did his fault wnvr<n|h<t eventual triumph of Ilia |rinci|l?s ?f Pent crncv. So he rareI'ulW primed the c<nnott. puled a piece i f paper over die touch ho c. and in this slip I e *r le H e words 'A I'll Altltt. T > KKE1' I II.AVI!." The gntt was Mien earofu'ly laid nwsy, with a IcUcr written bv Henry Grady, in which it was tinted that lie hoped to live four tea-* longir, w li< n ho intended to t'Uicli that same laid oli' to celbrate the ei? el loll I'l viro> ci v if? in it* i nnu i nc i -1 vi in p n ? f Peinocracy. But ihere w?n * tostscrio In the letter, in which the pnti i >tic an I gifted yeungtic rgiun n?'<ed if the iiiintl of death was laid up u him I efore thnt aurpieieus day came, lie wanted some friend to take the gun iii fr iiit tf the Coiiilituticn t lidding, and let it .anu>>unce for liini to the p?ople of At aula, whom lu lorrd mo well, the glad tidings. Everybody in tli.it city knew the story i f the cam.on that (Imdy londcd. and wlirn the wires begin 'o ti isli tin news rf lie trium) hunt inni'vli of Democracy, iho lit-1 o gun was biought fo tli tuin tour yours of silence and made nady to V glial the < xpected news. Not for any consideration would that Hurrnl charge left by CSindy le fired until nclory was pes 'ircly assured, and it was generally understood ilrougliout the city that wlirn the "Constitution t'aniioii"' spoke it was evidence that ttio re ult of Cleveland's c ec'ion wm no longer in d utt. Turslay night nnd Wedneidhj morning all can wore s rainc 1 to hrar the finiil ar bum. The most intense aid hreaihle.'S interest rciguel supreme It weu'd have been com-ideicd a sacrilege to gi*o any ttlier ncconut of the news than the proi heoy of the be'ovcd and lamcnte I Orady, speaking through iliis metal tune. At thirtj-flvo minutes pert one rlwk i ?nigTVr"erectrTT>~ Cat.tain T5v?n I'* Howell from Chairman llairity theee words: "Cleveland is elected ! l et Grady's gun peak !" Every man in the ofiicc rushed into the street. The paper p-1 ;ccd by Grady's hand was tout rlT ?nd the cbnrgu in the tuirchhole w:is found to he dry and sound. In an instant the fuse w :s lighted, and witli u thumlering report, that almost shook the 1'iedinont escarpment, the gun he'ehed foitli | its glorious and welcome announcement. The sceuo that followed beggars description. Te the people of Atlanta tliat report was as the Viico of one speaking from the dead. Every hat at oocc went in>o the sir, aud jells and c'lerrs I utsl from fifty thousand tbroals. The repoi t ? !' Grady's charge wae tnken up and re-echoed by parks of ertil e y stationed on the neighboring height-. Every locomotive aud steam whistle in the city took up the refrain, and never in tlie history ef Georgia was thero sueh demonstrative joy. The fact that Henry Grady's own haad had loaded that canuou, and four years before had prophesied the result, actod as electricity upon tht people. The charge that the dead and beloved journalist, philanthropist and statesmen had given his gun to keep was then delivered. It was worth a trip of a thousand miles te be in Atlauta at that hour.?Columbia Register. A National Flower.?Tbe following brief paper was read by Mr. T. T. Swiu* burn, at the Inst session of the American Associaton for the Advancement of Ecieuce; Ii is suggeMed that the American Association for ilie Advancement of Science, in Cue absence of a national Hewer, request the management of Columbian Exp sition to adopt the Cehiuihine as the tiower of the fair leaving the national tiower, whatever it proved to be, to now in popularity. Its name comes fioni the sauie root as Columbia, a mine our country often bears; it is classed with the Aguilegia or eagle variety, because its prtals end in spurs reseinb'ing the tilons of an angle, it grow.s in red white and blue, our national colors, it his five tminpei shaped petals, corresponding to the tivs points of the star upon cur tUg, and these are grouped around a contra! shaft, similar to the arrangement if the flutes nrouu I the central government, and it is iudigertous to the North American continent, a hardy perennial and wild tiower that is found in every part of cur land, growing even upon the liicky Moun'ain*, and in the very heart of the country. It is very appropriate in name, form and cw'.or. Its name suggests Colombia, and its form is the prototype of the Phrygian liberty cap, the head-dress of Columbia, and an exact copy of ihe cornucopia, the fyuibd of the Columbian Exposition." Some Propositi! Nkw Measures.?Greenville, Nov. 15.?A bill his been prepared, and will be introduced in the l.sgia'aiure by a meinhar fr nn this county, ra- I quiring County Commissioners to take charge 1 of and feed prisoners in the county jail. It j if claimed that it is a "retrenchment nn<i reform" measure. Advocate* of the measure aajr that sheriffs are new paid thirty cents a day for feeling prisoners, when it does not cott over ten cents a day. The Commies ionare, it ie claimed, on buy f. oJ hy the wholesale. and probably keep the prisoners for less than ten cents a day. Jlepreeentativo-elect Whitman will introduce a bill, which he has already drawn up, ei'ablishiog a County Court for (Jrrenville, and it is not improbable that n bill making Crunty Couits all over the State will be passed. The bill for this county provides f r a judge at $1,000 a year salary, and a prosecuting atioraey at $500. 1 ho regular grand jury is to consider indictments, and jurors , will be dtawu as usual. The c.urt will have jurisdiction of all criminal cases except uiuider, areen, burglaty, rape, and n few other sorioue crimes. It will als> he<r civil cases. Theconit will be run very much as the Circuit Courts, and the terms will be held c?orj other month. Thare art so man/ provisi -ns of tha bill that it ia almoit iroposribla to give all of them. The judge and prosecuting attorne/ ara to ba aleclad by Ilia paop'a, and their IVTUll Itf ufltse erete be four years sash.

The stroet ftorr Farr & Thomson's st.>ro to the cotton plat form was lined on botli sides wi'h ooitor wagons awaiiug their turn at the scales frotn about 0 o'ol* ck in Ilia moiaiog unti lata in the afternoon. - . The advanced condition of the cot ton crop and the co'lon market of thii County cannot be more satisfactorily given than by the fo'lowing compurativo aiatomcut of the receipts an 1 sliipmen's at ths depot fiom Sept. 1st, to Iter. 10, 1801, an to the s nno peii.d this ye a', which lias baeu kindly handed us by our astaemtd friend, F.

WIT" We repeat what we have said before Hint the present Sin e administration, from Governor down, arc decidedly opposed t? any extension of (lie time for paying taxes; and an the time will expire on the l?>th Decern! er, a little over three weeks from today, the Treasurer will hardly hare time to receive and teceipt for ell that are now behind, even if a steady stream of tax-payers should eall on him from this time out. We. therefore, advise all who possibly can, to pay at once and not risk being left out in the runh of the la-t days. We repent, we sre confident there will be no extension this year, and all who havo not paid their taxes, at the time of closing the Treasurer's books, will sssuredly have the penalty attaehed, Another, and equally as important a reason for an eirly fuyinent of taxes is the fact that nine-'eoihs i f (he errors in the collection of taxes occur during and in consrqueues of the tush of business in the eellector's office a fear days before c'oung the books. People complain of those errors, and blame the Tax collector far them, when in fact, it is the fault of a large majority of the people, who delay payment U'tll the last hours and then the collector, in trying te accommodate alt and sere as many as pos?ible fiom the penally, rushes the work of his office and, as under all similar circumstances in business transactions, he mikes mistakes. We hare oficn wondered that a greater number and mere serious mistakes wore not made than have been discovered at the final settlement.

' Tub Columhus Annivkrsaby.?We *rt aaked why was October 21st celebrated ni 3 the four-hundredth anniversary of the dis coviry of America, when every school boj [ learns that Columbus discovered Americi j October 12, 1402 ? Forinany centuries the calendar instituted ' by Julius Ciosar, known as the Julian calen calendar, was commonly accepted. Thi calendar assumed that there were 365', dayt in a year. Hut as this made the year 11 ' minutes end 17 seconds too long, it coulr not, without correction, very long answei r the purpose for which it wee devieed , Eleven minutee a year would make nearly an hour in five years, and nearly a day in t ' century. As time runs on the divergonct would grow more and mere serious. Con I eequently, in 1582 it was f und necessary t< reform the calendar, and the Gregoriai calendar was adopted. In order to correct the errors that tho old calendar had made, ten days were dropped out, and October ? of 1582 became Oc:ober 15. As the error , was found to be exactly three days in 400 years, the Gregorian calendar omitted the leap year from every centurial year, excepting those which were divisible by 400. i Thus the years 1500, 1700 and 1800 were not leap years. As above stated, this reformation took place in 1582. and ten days were omitted from the on'endar. Hut as Columbus dis covere i America previous to tbe year 1500, which reckoned by llio Gregorian calendar would not he a leap year there would be but nine days to omit. On October 21. 18'J2. the sun occupied i the same rela'ive position to the earth aa on the memorable October 12, 1402. All the precedents for celebrating American anniversaries are in favor of correcting the old calendar to the new. For )iiatanoe, "Forefathers' Day" in New Eoglad ie celebrate! December 21st, although aooerding to the Julian calendar the Pilgrims reached Plymouth December 1 Ub.
