The Ooorgia Farm Journal comes to us en larged to a live column quarto sheet. Only a few State papers were received yea terday, and they wero barren of news. On tho (*th of tho present month Savannah woe still ahead of any of the cotton ports in the number of bales received since Septem ber 1st. A match game of base ball will bo play on Friday morning at Social Circle, between the club of Covingtou and the Grey Jackets, of Modisou. The Telegraph announces for the Fair week uuiaKeiucutft, performances at Ralston Hull, by a Baltimore Theater Company, in which tho celebrated Chapnmu sisters and i’»isho| will bo slurs. Tho Savannah News of Monday says: A Mrs. Boykin, residing at tho Isle of Hope, died very suddenly on Friday last without any premonitory symptoms of sickness. There was considerable gorsip upon the street on on Saturday in reference to the matter, calcu lated to excite suspicion. The Augusta Chronicle A Sentinel says Dr. W. G. Phillips, of Brooklyn, New York with his family, arrived in this city yesterday, determined to make liis homo among the people of Georgia. Dr. Phillips is accompa nied by six sons, who come to increase our population and dovelop our resources. Wo extend to them a warm reception. Wo want us many of such settlers as we can get, Brown, the Beal Estate Agent, is engaged iu procuring for Dr. Phillips a suitable farm. Tho Madison Journal says: On Wednesday last, Messrs.

It is reported that the contemplated visit ol the President to the Southern States will take place in February next, when, it is said, he will be accompnme I by a selecttall of offici als interested iu Southern progressivenoRS, in cluding several Now York and Washington correspondents. George Francis Train is iudiguant at the manner in which the California newspapers reported his speeches.

President Grant's Atlmlnl.tr »Hr People. Tbo ripplo of dianoutent (mr oonsequeut upou tbo disap|M)int morons applicants for office, having me bly passed away, tho Administration of dent Grant is to-day strong in tho couPu not only of tho Republican party but of tho whole people. Tho success ot his rc*on^true- tion policy in Yirgiuia, Mississippi mid Ti-xus, is no longer problematical; and tho result will bo the acquisition of those States to the Repub lican party and to tho Union. This puts au end to tho wrnuglo in those States over effut issues, funned to the surface by the defection and obstinacy of Mr. Johnsou, and forms a nucleus for tho Union party in th< 8011th. A few mouths hence, acting as he is iu co-operation with Congress, tho Becou atruction policy of tho Government will lmvi triumphed iu all tho Southern States; and thenceforward wo shall have a united prosperous nationality. This, under all the circumstances, was a difficult problem; aud its s itisfactory solution a condition prec lent to nnythiiig like solid prosperity in tho South. Hence the Administration deserves well ot the Southern people; and the indications are that all moderate and reasonable meu of this section, regardless of mere parly, will unite iu their cordial support of the President. Iu tho North and West, tho Adiniuistratiou claims the highest commendation in the sig ual success of the President’s Indian Policy; and ovideuct* are not wanting, even within the linos of tho Democratic party, of tho con stautly increasing popularity of tho Adminis tration with tho Northern and Western Peo ple. Under tho iiuuucial policy of General Grant, ami the able aud conscientious udiuiuistrati of tho Treasury Department by Mr. Boutwoll, the creditors of tho government feci amply secaro in their property. Tho past seven months give abundant earnest of tho fulfill ment of tbo snerod pledges of the Govern ment to dischargo its obligations thus pro serving inviolate tho nation’s honor. Even Democrats are abandoning their unworthy and treacherous schemes of (indirect) repudi atiou; for it is u notorious fact that in uo twi States of the Union are the Democracy unitec 1 upon any well defined financial scheme; and the more intelligent uud sagacious of their leaders, aro making basic to modify or abau don their diverse aud badly digested schemes for avoiding an honest compliance with the plighted faith of the nation. Thus we observe that the Administration of President Grant is not only re-uniting aud strengthening the great national Republican organization, hut it is gradually but surely undermining the false theories and trencher ou* schemes of those who, under the spcciom guise of “Democracy," would plnn-o the nn tion into bankruptcy and financial dishonor. It i.s gradually but surely bringing the Gov eminent back to its pristine unity and great ness ; and wo confidently predict that cro tho next three years, few men, even the former opponents of tho President, cau be found with sufficient hardihood aud audacity to make open and undisguised warfare upon nn Ad- miuistratiou no firmly established iu tho nf- fcotious of tho People. Itenioval of the PoatoJttrc. We have been shown tho authority of Post master General Ure.swt.ll for the removal of the Postofflo© to tho largo room on tho first floor next north of tho Tolegraph office, in Kiw- ball’n Opera House. Tho removal will take place as soon as tho room can be fitted up, and, Irom au inspection of tbo plan, wo can assure oar readers that it will ho handsomely aud conveniently arranged for the public. Tho pupers have all been signed np, and tho re moval is a fixed fact. Tho nbove wo find in the Constitution of yesterday morning, and it is with surprise aud regret that wo loaru tho determination to re- 0 the Postofficc from tho present location, which is central and convenient to the whole city. Tho Kimball Opera IIouso can afford superb accommodations for tho office ; but it is greatly removed from tho business centre, would subject four-fifths of tho business to an additional walk of not Ickn than three hundred yards to get their mails. It is lore than right that business men should be consulted in regard to the location of tho Post cilice, and wo aro but uttering their wishe s when we urge its non-removal. We hope Postmaster General Crcswell will voke the authority for its removal, at hast, until a showing can ho made which wu arc rc will satisfy him that the present h best location it can havo. Tho close proximi ty of the Eba office to tho Postoffice has noth ing to do with our opinions in this nmltor.— Tho building wo occupy is in litigation, and wo do not know how long wo will ho aide to it. Wo simply speak for tho people, and utter their sentiments in opposing tho rc-movi tlm postoffico. Louuvolu, Saturday, Oft. 9, 1809. As might very naturally b© expocted, Louis- vill© is *11 aglow with tb© excitement of prop* aratiou lor tuo Convention next week. Tb* Mayor and General Council, together with Committees of merchants and others, *re at work day and night, perfecting arrangement* for one of tho most brilliant events in the history of this growing and beautiful oitv.— The ladies, even, have caught tho infection, and aro as much interested in discussing tho “Convention"os though it wore tho “last now bouuet," or a forthcoming opera. Guo thing is certain, a lavish use of money and an iniiueuse amount of talk and toil are being directed to a perfect completion of all the details necessary to tho comfortable en tertainment of all the delegates and a profita ble aud pleasant meeting of the Convention. The room selected tor holding tho Conven tion is the elegant uud spacious auditorium of the Louisville Opera House. This is one of tho most bountiful Hulls in tho Houtb, and as prepared for this occasion, with its magnif icent display of decorations, it will be splen didly brilliant. It is largo enough to uccom- moduto aii immense number of delegates, be side* admitting a largo conconrso of specta tors. Arrangements are ho minute and so thorough ly understood that there is not likely to be a bulk Irom bogiuuiug to end. I bavo seen tbo badges prepared for tho dolomites. Thoro is a groat variety of them, designed to desig nate the various delegates. For instance: For tho Committee of Arrangements ap pointed by Memphis Convention, rod aud white rosottes with blue and white streamers. For tho General Committee of Louisvillo, Mayor Bonce, Chairman, blue and white rosettes with red streamers. For tho Governors, Senators, member Gongres* and delegates appointed by States, white rosettes with bluo and red streamers. For delegates appointed by citios, bluo rosette* with white strcftiueis. For corporation delegates, or ^tlioso from Boards of Trade, led or magenta rosett white streamers. Members of the press, red streamers, llonorury members, white streamers. Reporter*, page* ami poll**, red n settee with blue streamers. The streamers used all bear tho coat-of- arms of Kentucky and the motto of that State— 1 “United wo stand, divided wo fall.” The delegates and honorary guests will as soluble at tho Galt House at 10 o’clock on Tuesday morning, where a procession will be formed, and headed by a baud of music, will march to the Opera House, where the Conven tion will be organized. But the people of Louisvillo havo prepared something besides business for those whom the convention will bring to their city. They come mainly from old Virginia stock— F. F. V’s nearly all of them are, and worthy of the title—and havo left within their voiuh that strong current of hospitality for which the people of tho mother Htnte are noted; con sequently tho delegates arc to have a royal tertainmout while here. On Wednesday night they will be treated to music. There will be a most charming gush of song and instrumental music, dono up by Louisville amateurs, and it is safe to predict that it will do no discredit to the musical tasto of tho city. This concert is given to the dele gates, but a limited number of others will bo admitted. Thursday there will bo a grand procession of people representing all the manufacturing and other interests of Louisville. Both New Albany and Jeffersonville, I understand, will join in this demonstration. Thursday night 1ms boon set apart to Terp sichore, and a grand ball will bo given at Ma sonic Temple, by the Widows’ and Orphan Iloino Association. Friday night comes the banquet. Tho thoughts of it are already whetting the appe tites of tboso who expect to Vie fortunate enough to get there. Never did tho enamored Anthony prepare a moro savory banquet for his inamorata ou the hanks of tho Nile, thau this will bo, and while old Heliogubalus may have expended more money in getting up a “snuck" than this will coHt, ho was never able to collate the same “feast of reason and flow of soul" that wo anticipate. Tho first noted Rbidcnt will transpire on Monday. Ex-Prt sklent Fillmore will bo he and will have a public reception in tho Com moil Pleas Court Boom—whore all who desire to do so may havo opportunity to shako his hand. Governor Bullock is expected to bo here, dispatch was received from him to-night stat ing that lie, in company with n number of Georgia delegates, wouId leave Atlanta, this evening, on a special train, and would proba bly arrive in this city to-movvow night about ten o’clock. Georgia sends seventy-five del gates, his dispatch also states. An excursion from this city through several Eastern cities, is, I understand, projected to come off immediately after the adjournment of tho Convention. Governor Bullock, it is stated, will join it. If so, ho will hardly get back to Atluntu beforo tho first of November. Parties who havo not visited Louisville few years will bo astonished at the remarka ble growth that has been attained in that time. It i.s now one of tho most bcautitul of all Southern cities, with its fino churches, thea ters and mansions, and its beautiful women. But of this latter l am not entirely prepared to speak now, as I have more to say of them than I now have space to say. Before I close this series of letters, however, I will pay my regards to them, as best I can, though I despair of doiug the. subject matter justice. Silks aud laces are tho worst things in tho world in which a man ever became entangled; so I must attend to business before I expose myself to tho danger. I expect to keep your readers posted as best I can in the rush and roar of excitomont that is expected to begin with Monday’s sun. Sab Dees. upon them. “And cheap they or©."

Mr. Editor: A* * failur# to notio* [tb* lengthy communication of tb* Attorney Gen eral, appearing as an advaffttsemont in all tb* Atlanta Dailies this morning, might be false ly consiraod by those not acquainted with that goutloman, the indulgence of tho com munity is asked in s brief response, lie si*Us “th* first material point of difference between him and Urn Treasurer arose from his favoring the Kimball Opera House for tho Stato Capitol" This is the first intima tion that 1 have had that bo over had an opin ion on tho subjeot, or that that opinion was worth consulting. Ho could havo been savod of nearly a column of admittlmj of what uis opinion and my Interest was, bad he known tho fuot that I owned property im mediately in front of tho Opom House, on tho Bn mo street. Iu his second column of advertising matter, he states : “Aud it has not been u week since tho Treasurer promised a claimant iu a small pox oaso, to pay him if ho could get n war rant." There is uo truth in this stulcment. I presume ho refers to tho claim in tho hands of Esq. Fane, who wiU bear testimony that I asked for time to investigate tho law, and gavo it as my opinion, that it did not come under tho provision by which ho claimed. This whole advertisement of three columns, made up of conceit and balderdash, has its origin in a proposition I submitted, in writing, to General Terry. Learning that that worthy officer was anxious to sec, and was bending bis energies to tho accomplishment of har mony, and being invitod by two gcutlctmn high iu tho Republican party, in company with them, to pay tho General a visit in the interest of peace, and in that interview having under discussion tho mattors of difference, and being anxious to bo relieved somewhat of responsibilities in the matter of Executive Warrants, and still conform to law, I submit ted to General Terry, in writing, tho following proposition : If two lawyers, of known integrity, uud ac knowledged and distinguished legal ability, give their written opinion, that in questions os to tho legality of Executive Warrants, the written opinion of the State’s Attorney Gene ral is a legal gunruuteo and protection to the Slato Treasurer, and that tho Treasurer is in duty bound to conform to said opinion when thus expressed ; or, in other words, that the endorsement of tho Attorney General, on the back of an Executive Warrant, (after the same is countersigned by tho Comptroller General,) that the w arrant is legal and drawn on tho proper fund, relieves tho Stato Treasurer from tho provisions of paragraph seven, section ninety-four, so far as tho “ro-payment of such amounts" is concerned, tho Trcasuror will pay all Executive Warrants thus endorsed. I frankly stated to General Terry that the At torney General, in tho estimation of tho pub lic, was not regarded as a lawyer of much ability or experience, and that I desired tho concurrent written opinion of two, as stated in tho proposition. This was out of no ill will to tbo Attorney General, but for my own protection. When, through tho exertions and influence of General Terry, differences wero in tho way of an amicablo sottloment, tho Attor ney General, through his brother, first made an attack ou me under tho signature of “Suavitor,” and continues it in his three columu advertisement devoted to misrepresen tation and swelling words of his own impor tance, comparing himself with Roverdy John sou and Caleb Cushing, while his fate is that of the Frog in tho Fable, who by bis vanity burst at bis efforts at greatness.
