Latb fbo* Tbxas. —The steamship Galves ton, which arrived yesterday from Galveston, brought us flies of papers to the Bth Inst. The election took place on the 4thinst., but very few returns have yet come to hand. It seems to be the general impression that Bell is re-elected Governor, and Howard re-elected to Congress in the Western District. The Whig candidates did not concentrate the vote of their party, and con sequently fall behind. Three companies of Rangers have been lately disbanded, and It is generally thought their pla ces will be supplied by regular troops. They are as follows : Capt. Bugby’s stationed on the Pa piloti, near Goliad, which was disbanded on the 22d; Capt. Wallace's stationed on the Leona | and Capt. Conner's, which was stationed above San Antonio. The following is an extract from a letter dated Nolansville, Bell county, July 5, 1851 : The drought has injured our crops very mate rially, vet some farms will yield abundantly. The Wheat crops in Bell county have turned out well. Many persons from the States, as well as In the lower counties, are looking at our lands with a view of purchasing for settlements. The ‘‘plaguy speculators” are the only material bar riers to a very rapid settlement of this delightful region. BaowNeviixa, August 6, 1851. Dias Pro t —This week has been one of ex citement in our little frontier town. On Mon day, Gov. P. H. Bell arrived from Corpus Chris ti, and was received with all due honors by our civil and military authorities, and has been the Sos our worthy Mayor, R. S. Leman, on of thecitixens,during his stay. Today we have a fine collation spread for the purpose of receiving the high officials from our sister town, Matamoras, and giving them an opportunity of becoming acquainted with our worthy Governor. It is our policy to encourage good feeling and amity with them, and on every public occasion we do so. The Southwestern American says that a ru mor had reached there by a runner from Payuka's camp, who after six days’ hard riding, had reached Ketumi’s village, informing him that twenty three of his men had been met by a party of Seminoles, under Wild Cat, and twenty two of them killed. It is further reported that Wild Cat was advancing with a large party of Mexi cans and Indians to sweep over their country. The cotton worms have ravaged several farms on the Guadalupe above Victoria. On the plan ted m of Mr. Means they have destroyed about thirty acres, and fears were entertained that, if the rainy weather should continue, they would nearly destroy the crops in that section. The rains have been distributed so partially that ■ome plantations, within a few miles of each other, have sutiered from the ravages of the worm, while others, that have scarcely been wet by showers, have been entirely exempt from the ravages of these destructive Insects.— N. O. Pic. 14ii. Fbom thb Caps or Good Hops. —By the barque Ocean Wave, arrived at Boston, Cape •f Good Hope papers to the 18th of June have bean received. This intelligence is about a half a month later. We copy from the Boston Journal and Traveller such items as they have compiled. ▲ rebellion had broken out among the Hot tentots at Theopolis, which was of the most seri ous nature. It appears that the rebel Hottentots werejoined by some deserters from the Cape Rifles, and also by some Kaffirs, and at daylight in the morning murdered in cold blood the Fingoes residing at the Institution there. The Pinjoes were shot as they lay in their beds, dome of the rebels wished also to burn the women and children; but others prevented this. The missionary buildings at the Theopoiiß station, the oldest in the Colony were all burnt down, save one small building. After the mas sacre, the rebels commenced their retreat to the mountains. They were followed by forces gath ering in their rear, and at one place an engage ment took place between the English forces and the enemy, in which the former lost several killed and wounded, and were obliged to retreat, as the rebels were continually receiving rein forcements. Among the killed was Field Cornet Grey. It is feared that in many other Hottentot loca lities, rebellion may break out as at Theopolis. It is not yet known how far the infection has spread. Abundant documentary evidence has been found among the papers captured from the ene my, of an extensive conspiracy among the fron tier Hottentots, to destroy ihe white inhabitants. It appears that the wildest and most insane idea had found place in their minds, and believing that the white settlers had been abendoned by their Government, they concluded that the time had come when they too might sjtupfor them selves, and recover their ancient possessions. Sandiili, the Kaffir chief, it is said was to have had Graham's Town for his future capitol, while the future metropolis of the Hottentot na tion is to be fixed at Uitenhage, with Port Elia beth as its commercial mart. Papers relative to the division of spoil were also found. A Zoolu Chief, located in the Vaal district, had put to death in the most cruel manner sixty unfortunate natives, who had crossed the liver for protection. Ihe motive of the butchery was the possession of their cattle. A captured Kaffir stated to the English author ities that more Kaffirs had already been killed during this war, than for the whole o; the last. He also states that the Kaffir power is still unbroken, and that they have no idea of surrendering; they still believe that they shall regain the ascen • dancy in the country. Among the Hottentot rebels, those of European extraction are the moat active and dangerous. As a specimen of what is going on throughout the whole length and breadtn ot the country, it la stated that a Mr. Bernard Reilly had arrived from the frontier, where he had a trading station. The rebels came upom him at night, dragged him out with his wife, the latter by the hair of her head, in her night clothes, and were about to kill them, when they were enabled to escape, walls the captors were talking about their plun der. The Frontier Times announces that there is neat probability that Governor Smith will short ly make peace with the Kaffirs. The former, according to the Times, la willing to make peace, if the rebels will surrender their fire arms and the cattle they had captured ; but up to the 4th of June, not a gun had been gent in. A peace, which did not guarantee the settlers quiet possession for the future, will not be acceptablo to the Colony. The Graham’s Town Journal states that Ma jor General Somerset had continued his attacks against the combined forces of the Hottentots and Kaffirs on the Kat River. On the 29th of May he assailed, and carried the enemy’s strongly entrenched position, and had driven him from his stongholds into the forest, destroying his «**ap, and seizing his stores and depots of grain, *ud inflicting a heavy loss upon him. A notice was found in ths Rebel camp, in '* the provincial government” provides tivllnV 1 .u rtnoßt tor the divis on of the spoil— tha aubsister.ce of widows, the punish £Zmt-„.n. end ? r - and »aet, but not least, the iSnts a co° u f nfn 0d , order ' This notice further noon olana of 2i ° f War * not merely to decide ra7i P tha iawa ni^ ary °*" a *>n», but also to I Fsokthb East.sk Pa OVIKC „.

They had witSln last fortnight taken 1600 cattle, 700 sheep, 170 horaaa, and murdered four farmers. The farm •rs, instead of forming themselves into encamp ments, were flying in all directions. The panic hen kenn so great aaaoag the Boers that the com mandants and fleld-comets were not able to get 1 a single Boer out, and but for a small number of troope, the enemy would massacre the farmers and their poor wives and children by whole sale. The writers says the war is far irom being at an end ; the enemy is becoming quite desperate; we shall have to do all the work over again. A large number of the Gaikas, rebel Hottentots,and Bushmen, Qwesha’sand Mapas -Ba>s people are in great force in the fastnesses of the KeL The acounts from the Buffalo, received by the Hermes, are of a very distressing nature. Kreli has now openly joined the enemy—ordering all missionaries out of the country, and replying to a demand made by his Excelleucy for the resti tution of Borne cattle, that they could not be re turned, as now it was war. A letter of the 10th says, last night the enemy attacked one of Hans Albert’s places, took 3000 sheep and 700 head of cattle. The Field cornet went on to the neck with 10 men, re-took all the sheep and cattle, shot 15 of the enemy, and cap tured 14 guns. He is the only man that still bolds out with his men. LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL QF THE STEAMER BALTIC. from the N. F. Com. Ado., of Sturdy, P. M, We have this day to place on record the shortest passage ever made aeross the Atlantic. The Uni ed States steamer Baltic, Capt. Comstock, arrived this morning from Liver pool. The Baltic received the mails off “George's I Landing Stage,” Liverpool, at 4 o’clock on Wednesday, P. M., August 6th, and took her departure at fifteen minutes before 5 o’clock. She arrived at her wharf here at half-past 6 o’clock this morning. Capt. Comstock came through the North channel, and at midnight of Tuesday, the 13th, saw Cape Race. The fc altic took a pi’ot on board wheu 225 miles from Sandy Hook, at 11 o’clock, yester day morning. The Parisian Poles in honor of ths Great Ex hibition.—The English and French journals are almost entirely occupied with accounts of the great fetes given in Paris in honor of the Lord Mayor of London, and the Royal Com missioners of the Great Exhibition. The visi tors arrived in Paris on the evening of Friday, Ist inst., and were received with the u'most cordiality and enthusiasm, not only by those especially charged w th the osremonies of ihe reception, but also by the populace, who crowded the streets, shouting “ vine le Lord Mairt /” On Saturday night the guests at tended a msgnifioent banquet given by the prefect of the Seine and the Municipality of Paris, at the Hotel de Vise. The banqueting hall was fitted up in a most superb manner, and presented a coup d’oeit uusurpassed at once for grandeur and elegance. England. —The ecclesiastical titles' assump tion act has received the royal assent. This bill is said to have been the joint production of her Majesty’s Ministers, Mr. Wa’pole, Sir Frederick Thesinger, and Mr. Keogh. The return of Lord Arundel as member of Parliament for the city of Limerick, and the Giadsone letters, in the dearth of other news, are the subject of continued comment ia the London papers. The acceptance of the challenge of the New York yacht America devolves on JoseDh Weld, Esq., in right of his championship *of -he royal yacht squadron. Hit champion yacht ibe Alarm is 193 tons, old measurement. It is expected that the grand match of the sea son will be a contest for $5 000 or £ 1 000 sterling between these vessels. The America will have an opportunity afforded for trying her rate of sailing in the race of yachts of all nations, to take place at the Isle of Wight regatta during the ensuing month. This wj|| be preliminary to the grand match with the Alarm. France. —Polities appear to be for the mo ment eclipsed by the arrival of the Lord Mayor and the other notabilities. The city of Paris has already sent 90 fore men and workmen to London to visit the Ex hibition, and 30 chambers of commerce of the chief manufacturing towns of France, and 20 chambers consultative, have acceded to the wishes of the Government, and presented lists of first rate workmen of all trades, amounting collectively to about 140, who are also to be sent to London ; to these are to be added 12 foremen of the national manufactories of Beauvais, Sevres,"and th n Gobelins, an. 1 of the professional schools of Chalons, Aix, and Angiesr. The Ministerial candidate for the Lot has been elected, and it is said that all of the re cenily returned representatives may be regard ed as Bonapartists. Paris Bjurse, Aug. 4.—Latest prices. The five percents., 95f 75c; three percents. 57f 10c.; Bank of France, 2 192 f. 50c. Germany. —The Lithographirte Correapon denz, Be mi official organ of the Prussia cabi net states, with respect o the Austrian annex ation, that the protest of England and France against the plan of admitting the Austrian non- German provinces into the confederation is of the greatest importance. Although all the German governments have agreed ia declaring that the annexation is a purely German ques tion, that declaration, says the Lithographirte Cortesdondenz, avails as yet noth’ng whatever against the protest. The British government, in particular, remains staunch in its opposition, and most peremptory declarations to that effect have been made to the cabinet of Vienna. This is the reason why the Austrian government still thinks proper to delay the final decision of the annexation question. Miscellaneous -—The board of health of Gib raltar has imposed a quarantine of 15days up on all vessels arriving from Oran, in conse quence of the cholera having broken out in that place. A company has been formed in Holstein to run steamers from Gluckstadt to Hull, for the transport of cattle and agricultural produce, and to facili’ate the transmission of goods from England to the Northeastern parts of Denmark. Two Jews were christened on the 22d ult., in the Church of the proas in Warsaw-—one 17, and the o’her 58 years o 1 age. Field Mar shal Prince Paskiewitsch was sponsor in both cases. The Jesuit missions are making extraordi nary progress in Baden. Forty-two persons n one day announced their conversion to the ißoman Catholic faith in Ettlingen. The Ceres, 1,600 tons, the largest vessel hitherto built in France, has just been launched at Bordeaux Three distinguished Hungarian exiles have lately arrived in Paris ; M. Mesraros, formerly Minister at War; the artillery Colonel Makk, who fought against the Ban Jsliachicb at Palrosed ; and Colonel Katona, aide-de-camp to General Dembinsky. Cuban Affairs, —The New York Sun, their chief organ in this country, acknowledges that reverses seem to have befallen the Patriots in the neighborhood of Principe, which the in formation furnished to them did not lead them to anticipate, and states that it need not conceal its fears that the Government have triumphed, for the present at Principe. “Cther parts of the Island, however,” says the Sun, “are represented to be making pronunciamen tos and organizing guerilla bands, though with what succcess remains to be seen. The Cubans are miserably deficient in arms and all tbe equipments of war, whioh is a se rious drawback. The Havana Cubans appear to exaggerate tbe rumors that raaeh there almost as much as the government exaggerates its of ficial statements.” Philadelphia and Savannah Steamship.

Another Reckless Assertion* The Constitutionalist, of the 15th inst., in replying to our article proving most conclu sively from the Legislative proceedings of this State in 1633, that the Union party of that day did approve and endorse the doctrines of the Proclamation of (ten. Jackson, endeavors to avoid the force of the proof adduced, ty saying that the failure to pass tbs resolution of condemnation in the Senate by a vote of 32 to 48 did not amount to an approval. “It is no uncommon circumstance (says that paper) in party tactics for a party to refuse to vote a condemnation of doctrines though disapproving of them, tbe opposite party seeks au advantage there by. The Union party would not be caught in that way. But they were too shrewd to adorn the prin ciples of that Proclamation as thsir party crasd.” “ Too shrewd to adopt the principles of the Proclamation, eh ?” What then did they mean by rejecting the resclution of Dr. Jones, of Morgan, which approved Gen. Jackson’s administration so far as it accorded with the Republican principles of ’93 and ’99, con demned the doctrines of tbe Proclamation, and at the same time adopt the resolution of Mr. Wofford, which contained the following language : “ This General Assembly feels unfeigned grati fication in affirmiug, that Andrew Jackson is en titled to the gratitude, the confidence and the af fections of the people of the United states, and more esprzia'ly of the people of Georgia, for the skill a d valor with which, in the field, he baa triumphantly defended our national safety and bouor and tli* wisdom, purity, economy and energy with which, in the cabinet, he has maintained all those rights of the people which have been confided to his care. “ So long as hs shall continue to act on those re publican principles, and that sacred regard for the constitution, which have heretofore marked his administration, he shall receive our most cordial support" Wbat was meant to be conveyed by tbe language we have italicised T The doctrines of the Proclamation were tha questions put in issue by Mr. Chaffell’s resolutions, doc trines which he, in common with the StPe Rights party es that day condemned. His resolutions were rejooteJ, and the resolution from which we have quoted, adopted—every Union man voting for Mr. Woppord's amend ment. Does any sane man doabt, with these facts before him, that it was the purpose of the Union party by this vote to approve the Proc tarnation ? Not one. Politicians may seek at this late day to make a different impression; and such was the verdict of the people upon those resolutions at tbe time. To show that it was their purpose to approve the proclamation, we repeat the resolution of Dr. Jonks which, notwithstanding it approved the administration of Gen. Jackson, so far ai it accorded with tha principles of ’9B and ’99, was nevertheless voted down by the Union men, because it condemned the proclamation. It is in these words: Resolved, That ws willingly accord to General Jackson all the fame to which hia military services during the late wars so justly entitle him, and ap proving all the acts of his administration which have been in strict accordance with tbe Republican prin ciples of ’9B and *99 j at the same time we do disap ■ prove and condemn tbe doctrines maintained in the proclamation and force bill, as destructive of State rights and State sovereignty. Now, if the assertion of the Constitutionalist, that “ Its public sentiment of Georgia was unan imously, or nearly so, against the doctrines of that Proclamation on the subject of State rgkts and Federal powers, ” was true, this resolution could not have been objected to ; but it is be cause it was not true that the resolution was voted down by the Union party, who by these votes snstained and vindicated that proclama tion, its doctrines and principles. Again says the Constitutionalist— “We go further and deny that any party in the Sloutb, in express terms, ever approved of the doc trines of that Prcriamation. If it wrievc. done, the documents can sadly be found. We defy their adduction.” Among logieia ns there is an argument de nominated “ argumentum ad hominsm,” which is always the most direct if not the most con vincing. And as it is not our purpose te travel over tbe whole field of the history of that pe riod to hunt op proof to establish what every iman, not blinded by prejudice *r interested considerations, who is familiar with that history, will not pretend to deny or gainsay, we shall take the ahorteat and most direct way to ahow how the “document!” can be “adduced.” We have before us the proeeedinga of a meeting of tbe Union party es Monroe county, Geo., of 1833, (whether the Union party of Monroe was “any party in the South,” can be determined probably by one of the Editors of the Constitutionalist.) Among the Commit- , tee who reported these resolutions, was one Jambs M. Smytms, the same who is now an | Editor of the Constitutionalist. Here they are: , Whereas, tbe prosperity, independence end securi ty of these United States eau be effected and main tained only by tbs continuance of the Union and the preservation of tbe Constitution and form of govern ment established by the wisdom, patriotism and firm ness of our fathers, by whose noble exertiona their descendants have reaped national prosperity, renown end individual happiness: And whereas, the State of Sooth Carolina by Us Convention and the proeeedinga of its Legislsturs in obedience thereto, has rushed upon a rash unconsti tutional and dagerous policy—one caleulated to destroy the fairest hopes of Liberty, and subvert the wisest, happiest Government ever devised by the wisdom of man. And whereas, the President of the United States hss issued his Proclamation dec'aring the nnconstitu tionaiity of such proceedings, so far as they regard the assumed power of a State to nullify an act of Congress passed according to all the usual forms of national legislation, as required by tho Constitution of the Union: And whereas, in all cases of danger to tbe Uuion, or to our people, it becomes the duty of our citizens to guard against both by all proper means — Therefore Resolved, That this meeting do entirely disapprove of tbe absurd and heretioal doctrines ad vanced in a certain extraordinary ordinance passed and promulgated by the South Carolina Convention, as being calculated to dissolve tbs Uaion, retard the progress of liberty, and foster the seeds of anarchy and ruin. Resolved, That we entirely approbato the Procla mation of the President of the United States as being entirely constitutional, timely and necessary—that in that able document ws recognise the tpit it of the pa triot, statesman aed lover ot the Union. Resolved, That our svmpathies and feelings are wiih the Union Party of South Carolina—that we higblv approve as their course in Convention in maintaining their rights, and their career in general *R contending for and supporting the supremacy of ihe laws of the United States against tbe revolutiona ry measures of uahely ambition. Resolved, That we highly approve tbe course pursued by the Hon John Forsyth and those who acted with him, in seceding from tbe late body that convened in Mills'geville—the self-styled Georgia C:nvention Resolved, That these proceeding be published, dfcc. L. Griffin, Ch’n. W. C. Jones, Secr’y. The language of tho second resolution is by no means equivocal, we thiok. it declares— “ Thai we entirely approbate the Proclamation of the President ( Jackson ) of the Waited States, as being antirely constitutional, timely and necessary—that in that able document we recog nizt the spirit of the patriot, statesman and lover of the Union." This, ws imagine, will be.regarded something like an endorsement or approval “ in express terms." by some people. Whether it is such in the opinion of the Constitutionalist remains to be seen. We doubt, however, whether the proclamation ever received a stronger or more cordial and hearty endorsement by any one, not even by Daniel Webster, deeply steeped in Federalism, as he is said to be. What avails, then, the vaunting defiance of the Constitutionalist to show that (t any party in the South ever, in express terms, approved of tbe doctrines of the proclamation?” The Uoion party of Georgia in 1833, may have been quite shrewd, and the party in Monree may have numbered some very shrewd men amongst its members, of which the Editor of the Constitu tionalist may have been one; but they certainly were not quits shrewd enough not to " appro bale" Gen. Jackson’s proclamation. In conneiion with this subject and as ad ditional evidence, it may not be inappropriate; to mention the fact, that John Forsyth, Sr., the leader and idol of the Uoion party voted for the Porce Bill, the sequence of the Procla mation, which carried out the doctrines and "rinciples of that document, and that to tbe day of his death hs continued the f-vori e of that party uo one wit' deny. The Constitutionalist thinks it was unkind in us to parade Mr. Chappell before the pub lic as we did, showing his position in 1833 Unfortunately for that journal, Mr. Chappell then resided in Monroe ccunty, where these celebrated resolutions were passad, by the aid of the editor of the Constitutionalist, and then occupied the same position he does to day. In proof of this, we subjoin the following resolu tion introduced by him in 1833, into the Sen ate, and re-affirmed by him a few days since in a speech in Crawford county, ona too of the resolutions which the Union party of 1833 re pudiated. Here it is: “ Resolved , That the faculty of secession is insepa rably incident to a compact subsisting between sove reign States; and tbe right of eecejsion in any particular instance must depend upon causes of which tbe party asserting the right mast judge for itself —amongst which causes flagrant breaches of the compact by the otuer party or parties have al ways been considered gc xi—and secession for any cause can, at tho moat, exj. 3e the seceding State only to the consequences arising under the laws of war and of nations— an t never to those of treason and rebellion.’'—(See Journal of 1833, page 123.) This was the position of Mr. Chappell in ’33, and it is tha same position occupied by Mr. Cobb and tbe Constitutional Union party of 1851. Correspondence of ihe Chronicle If Sentinel. Waihinoton City, August 12 1851. Since the opening of the political canvass in Pennsylvania, Col. Bigler, the Democratic candidate for Governor, has come out like he ought to have done at first. And though he exhibited some shuffling and timidity in the begianing, his present position obliterates the past, and every true lover of this Union will rejoice at his success. The South need only to keep ou in the ever tenor of their way, pursue the coarse recommended by tbe Consti tutional Unitn party, discard every thing like attachment to Whiggery or Democracy as un derstood formerly—do justice to the party that will do juatics to them, and you will not only secure respect for your rights, but preserve the Union. The position taken by Col. Bigler, in a speech lately made in Delaware county is ibis acquierseoce in the adjustment measures of Congress—“a faithful maintenance aad a thor ough execution *f every feature of tnose mea sures, and of removing every obstacle in the way of an efficient administntion *r that sea tore of the compromise providing for the ren dition of fugitives from labor”—the expression of an opinion that the execution of the consti tuttonal provision for the rendition of the fu gitive slaves is a concurrent power vested in the National and Btate Governments, and a duty enjoined on all-and in this connexion, the declaration that if he wero the exeoutive of n „**b°T, onWMlth ° f Pen would not hesitate a moment to sign the bill, which the present executive officer now holds in his possession. His whole speech is well worthy of perusal by the South, and I troet ia tho be ginning of brighter prospects at the North, me election is considered certain by a majority of thousand*—&o it will be everywhere this graat national dootrina is proclaimed. Observer. FROM OUR ATLANTA CORREFFONDKFT. < THE ATLANTA FAIR. ( The first Annual Exhibition, sr Fair, of the Georgia State Agricultural, Mechanical and Manufactural Association” was held | at Atlanta during the 13th. 14th and 15th days of August, and attended by quite a large num ber of people from DeKalb and the adjoining counties; among whom we also noticed sever- | al gentlemen from a distance who attended the Fair both as exhibitors and spectators The Fair was held on the ground formerly occupied by the “Southern Central Agri cultural Association (which ground has reverted to the city of Atlanta in consequence of the removal of the Fair of the old Associa tion to Macon) and the arrangements for the show were not essentially different from those of the “ Central Association ” last season. The number of articles offered for exhibi tion m the different departments, was some what meagre; but. upon the whole, the Fair may be considered quite successful as a first effort. We append, from a few notes hastily taken, the following account of the most no ticeable articles: Ho rses. —Col. Benjamin Easley, of Dade, exhibited a fine stallion, (“Chieftain”) an ex cellent brood mnre (•* Virginia Bascom”) and colt, and a yearling colt of good promise. The stallions “Flying Kite” and “John C. Floyd,” wero also good animals, and worthy of the at tention of breeders. Jacks and Mules. —There were quite a number of Jacks shown, but we did not see any of very especial merit. They were, gen erally, too small to enable us to compete suc cessfully with the mule-raisers of Tennessee and Kentucky, who reject as “ undersized " all Jacks less thao 14 or 15 hands high and “well proportioned.” Size, in most cases, de termines the market value of a mule; and as all such animals generally deteriorate in our climate, we should make it a point to select the largest and best proportioned, anil most vigor ous Jacks, and the most docile, high-blooded and well-broken mares (alse large) for breeders. The finest mules we ever saw were raised in East Tenu. by John McGhee, from such ani mals as we have described. The mules offered for exhibition on the present occasion, were in no way remarkable, with the exception of a very pretty matched pair, 16 menths old, shown by Jas. M Evans, of DeKalb county. Cattle. —Fine Milch Cows, of the (so-call ed) Native varieties, were shown by Col. Kamsey, of Walker county; Mr. Wm. J Mann, of Atlanta; Col Pitts, of DeKalb, and ethers Col Ramsey also exhibited his bull “Samson,” bread by A S. Lenoir, Esq., of Blair’s Ferry, East Tennessee. Mr. Lenoir is a very careful breeder and an excellent farmer, and has effected considerable improvement in the various kinds of domestic animals under his charge—more especially cattle and swine. The bull “ Samson ” is a cross of the Durham and Kentucky “ Parian ” stock, and was awarded “ the first premium as the best two year-old on the ground. Mr. Mann, of Atlan ta, exhibited two grade Devon bull calves, pro duced from a native cow, by a cross of the cel ebrated Devon Bull “ Boston,” the property of R. Peters, Esq. Mr. Mann’s calves were beau.iful animals, and exhibited in a marked de gree, the striking peculiarities of color and ap pearance so strongly impressed by the Devons even upon their remote prageny. Swine.— None exhibited worthy of attention Sheep. —The “woolly tribe” were entirely unrepresented, except by tbe sable bipeds whose owners were in attendance upon the show. Poultry. —One pair of young Musk (or Muscovy) Ducks, good specimens, were the only samples exhibited. The “fancy” are holding back for the Macon Fair; when, we are assured, they will come out strong.” Great trouble and no little expense have been incur red by several gentlemen in different parts of the State, in procuring fine Poultry; and those who attend the Macon Fair, in October, msy expect to hear such crowing and cackling, and quacking and hissing, and screaming, and gob bling, as would astonish even a Bostonian in the last stage of “Chicken fever.’ 1 Vegetables. —Dr. Singleton, of Lumpkin exhibited a barrel of superior Irish Patatoes, and a barrel of monstrous Onions—both es which did great credit to his skill as a garduer. Wm. H. Thurmond, of Atlanta, had a variety of fine vegetables from his market garden, on exhibition; and Dr. Cheek, of Atlanta, ex hibited a basket of Beets so large that most people (incredulously) thought, on picking up one of them, that it “could not be brat ” Fruit. —Col. Jos. Pitts, of DeKalb, exhi bited a fine collection of fruits from his orchard —including, Apples, Peaches, Figs, Plums, Pears, &c., &c. Among the peaches, we no ticed one fine, large yellow variety (nameless to us) of great excellence, to which the first prize was awarded. Wm. 11. Thurmond’s col lection of Peaches, also contained a seedling of remarkable beauty and good flavor, which he h-is named the “Hose Peach, ” on account of the similarity of its blossoms to the opening buds of the “Queen of Flowers.” Agricultural Implements —Among the implements exhibited (mostly of Northern make) we noticed two or three one-handled plows, of a singular and unique pattern, manu factured by a society of Belgian agriculturists, located near Rome, Floyd comity The mould board coulter and all other metal’ic portions of these plows were of wrought iron, welded to gether by hand, in the very strongest manner, by the smith ol the society, who is represented to be a lineal descendant of old Vulcan himself Ladik- Department.— lnto this department was crowded all the incongruous and mixed up mass of articles usually exhibite<l-at our Aywu - tural Fairs, among which bed-quilts, ottomans, lamp-mats, counterpanes, piano covers, worked collars, caps and pocket handkerchiefs, chil dren’s clothing, butter, pre-erves, Daguerreo types, artifici 1 teeth, confeciionary, &c., &c , were most conspicuous. VVe had only time to note the following : Two fine large loaves of wheat bread, made by A. P. Dozier, Atlanta, from superfine Flour of the Atlanta Steam Mills. Weight ofloaves, six pounds each. Piano ( over, drab broadcloth, embroidered by Mrs Amanda Morrell, Monroe, Walton county.

Easley, of Dads, a good sample of Mediterranean; and several other gentlemen samples of Wheat, Rye, Oats and Corn, of varisus qualities, but mostly re spectable. Butter.— Mrs. Kirkpatrick exhibited ajar of very nice butter, and samples of the same were also shown by other ladies. Manufactural Department.— This depart ment was not as well filled as it should nave been; and aside from the usual number of cotton gins, stoves, chairs, tables, &c., we no ticed nothing particularly new or interesting. At the close of the Fair, many of the articles and some animals were offered at auction and disposed of, though not at very full prices; and wishing this and all oilier societies calculated to develop© the resources of the South, the full est success, we close our imperfect (though not invidious) report of the Fair^^ Death or the Ret. Da. Olin.—The New York Commercial Advertiser of Saturday af ternoon, says: On the eve of going to press, the telegraph bringe us this melancholy intelligence that the Rev. Dr Olin died at six o’clock this morning, at his lesidence in Middlsbury, Ct. We bare not time, to-dav, to ex. press the regret, which in common with the whole Christian community, we cannot but experience on the decease of this grea. and good man. Illinois Wheat Crop. —The Chicago Ad vertiser says: The wheat crop in the northern counties in this State will generally prove a failure. The ru9t has destroyed the winter, and the fly, scab or rot the spring. Thousands of acres which a short time since looked promising, and the farmeis anticipated a good yield, will not be worth harvesting. The farmers are generally much embarrassed, and this serious draw back, ihe failu eof tbe crops, will affect them ma terially. Sound views from the Northwest.— The Peoria (111.) Republican of the lstins’ant makes a most appropriate and timely quota tion from what it styles “Dr. Franklin’s Fugi tive Slav* Law.” On the Ist of March. 1779, the Legislature of Pennsylvania passed an net, which was drawu op by Dr. Franklin, to pro vide for the gradual abolition of slavery with in the Commonwealth, the eleventh section of which reads as follows : “ That this or any thing in it contained shall not give any relief .rr shelter to any absconding or run away nepro or mulatto slave or servant who has absconded himself from his or her ownor, master, or mistress, residing in any other State or country, but sueh owner, master, or mistress shall have like right and aid to demand, claim, and 'eke away his slave or servant, a« he might have had in case this act had not been made.” Upon 'his the Peoria Republican makes the following sensible commentary: “Now, when it is remembered that the present Constitution of the Unitad States was not then in existence, . that the old articles of Confederation were J silent on that snbjeet, and consequently that 1 Penney vania was not bound to re'urn fugi- ] live slaves, it will be seen that the spirit which prompted the enactment of this provision was entirely adverse to that with which the subject has been handled in our day. Dr. Franklin justly thought'hat the Union of these States was the foundation of their prosperity; and hat, although Pennsylvania might free her own slaves, she could not make her territory an asylum for runaways, without exoiting the resen moot of the slaveholding States, and thereby weakening the bonds which made the United States one people.” #pmal Jffotta* U Ths Constitutional Unisa Party of Ward No. 1, are requested to meet at the ?sale House, oa Friday evening, 22J inst, at half past seven o’cleck, to elect delegates to the County Con vention au2o - R.
