ATLANTA, GEORGIA, : : • OCTOBER 26,
TKE FAIR.
The 16th Annual Fair of the Geor
gia Slate Agricultural Society.
This Fair, so long and anxiously looked for
ward to by Gforgians in general and the citi
zens of Atlanta in particular, was opened yes
terday at Oglothorpe Park.
The morning broke bright and smiling, and
“tipped tho hills with gold;” bat before 10
o'clock the clouds looked somewhat threaten
ing. By that hour the grounds presented a
most animated scene. Stock arriving; accase-
1ms flow of vehicles, the majority of them
bearing articles for exhibition; the screams of
the engines of the Western and Atlantic Rail
road, as train after train arrived and disgorged
its human freight, presented a picture of the
moet animating and soul-stirring character.
The predictions of those who have prophe
sied that the grounds could not be comple
ted, that the Fair would have to be post
poned, and that tho whole thing would and
must be a failure, have not been verified.
They forgot tho men who were on the quar
ter deck and at the whccL
Considering all tho difficulties that had to be
surmounted, it required men of such energy
of character as the Messrs. Kimball to carry
the thing through. They were wisely select
ed, and tho task they undertook has been no
bly fulfilled. Never has tho Georgia State
Fair had an exhibition on grounds so com
pletely ad pa ted to tho purpose. Nothing has
been forgotten, nothing overlooked.
THE PAH ADC 07 BOSSES.
The principal attraction of the morning was
the parade of horses which took place at 10 a.
U. The exhibition was in all respects a very
fine one. Tho entire horses took the lead,
twelve in number. The number was larger
than on any previous occasion and the quality
was the admiration of alL We shall have oc
casion to speak of tho stock in detail hereaf
ter. At present before the judges have award
ed the premiums it would bo of ooune out of
place to particularize.
During tho last week arrivals from abroad
have been daily increasing in number, and
yesterday morning found our hotels thronging
with guests from all portions of our own and
other States.
By nine o’clock in the morning there was a
general movement of carriages along Marietta
Avenue, towards the Park, and at that hour
the State Road trains commenced regular trips
to the grounds, at intervals of half an hour,
and carried wall loaded ears for some time da
ring the afternoon.
At the main front enterance to the grounds
some trouble and dissatisfaction was for a time
prevalent resulting from a misunderstanding
of orders by tho gate-keeper, regarding ticket
holders. This, however, was soon obviated,
and the waiting and expectant crowd rushed
IN SIDE.
To tho left of the entrance, is the spacious
Hall devoted to agricultural and mechanical
implements; and in this department we find
the work of fitting up much move advanced
than elsewhere. The main ball is under the
superintendence of Mr. B. H. True, to whose
courtesy many reporters will be under repeated
obligations.
From the mass of yet disarranged articles
of machinery on exhibition can, to-day, be
aoleeted some that are attracting considerable
attention, among which is the
■nuuB CORN USA,
On exhibition by Mr. Charles Soig. This mill
is called tho “Queen of the South;” is an nn-
demmner, ballonoed and stationary on the
spindle, and, in consequence, it is claimed, is
always in train. It is manufactured by Isaac
Straub & Co., Cincinnati, and is said to bo an
cxoellaal piece of machinery.
a steam nnn engine,
(V .
its way to Columbus, in tLis State, stopped
hero and will remain on the grounds during
the Fair. It is from the SIbly Island Works,
oeneca Falls, N. Y., and attracts considerable
attention. ;
THAT $100 IN GOLD
For the best packed bale of cotton with John
son's ties, is bringing in competitors. There
are now seven entries for the award, and, no
doubt, more coming. They represent the
counties of Greene, Pike, DeKalb, Bartow and
Wilkes. Messrs. Davis and Green are com
peting for tho best twenty, beat ten, best five
and best single bale of upland short staple
cotton; also for tho best packed bale with the
Johnson tic.
THE DOMESTIC DEPARTMENT AND AUDIENCE nir.T.
The lower floor of this Hall should be one
of the most interesting departments of the
Fair, particularly to young ladies, whether mar
ried or single, because hero are exhibited those
household qualifications which, if they do not
most adorn a home, are perhaps foremost in
making homo happy and comfortable. Here
are exhibited the efforts and experiences of
housewives in baking bread, making mlra find
preserving fruits and vegetables. A depart
ment of household economy wo commend
heartily to our young ladies, for, by its cultiva
tion, they appeal to what, in many instances,
they will find to be tho weaker portion of
man's nature. There is much philosophy in
the saying that a man is generous after a good
dinner, and surely at no time is a man so ugly
if he is predisposed to ugliness as when his
dinner has not satisfied himself and friends.
Therefore ladies preserve your sweets and you
won't regret it
The first object on the left that attracts at
tention is an enormous ham from McFerxan,
Armstrong A Co., of Louisville, which weighs
75 pounds. In close proximity are a half doxen
hams from A. G. Holmes. For the premium
for flour then are two competitor*. Tho Whit
field Mills, of Dalton, exhibiting the “Ocean
Spray." and the Atlanta Mills, exhibiting the
“Pride of Dixie." Moure. TT.ll and Allen, of
Looiirille, and Woodman and Co., of Chicago,
compete for the beat collection of crackers.
For the beat cake, and bread the contest will
be eloee between Mia. E. W. Holland and Mi..
Lon Sartain, of Atlanta. Mrs. T. Pence, of
Rome, exhibit, some aery tempting sponge and
fruit cake, and Mrs. O. W. D. Cook, of Atlan
ta, will be a formidable competitor, in the
matter of the stuff of life. Mrs. Amanda
Cook, of Dallas, exhibited a line collection of
22 rarities of cake.

attracting considerable attention. IU paten
tees an Andrew* and Godfrey, who claim
that it will separate twenty-six boahela of
wheat from the cockle in one bonr. -They sell
the machine for forty-fire doliara. Near
nbore, and being pnt in running order, is the
Chase A Morton's patent
Among other superior qualities’claimed for it,
is that of producing a planed shingle, a feat
said to be performed by no other machine in
the United States. Its foil capacity is twslre
boras power; and, running at foil spaed, tarns
oat one shingle to tho aeoond. The machine
costs $60, and is on exhibition by Mr. C. C.
Sanderson.
PLOWS, CULTITAXOas, ETC.
In the way of plows, eulUraton, and other
articles of like nature, the upper story of the
hall is well supplied; bnt they nro yet in so
confused a state of arrangement that we will
await a more farorablo opportunity for taking
note of thorn. This is generally the caw
all departments to-day, and little of a satis
factory nature can be gleaned from a tonr of
observation.
■XATT lUClnKXBT.
In this line, there is on exhibition and in
working condition, Davis’
PATEXT niSIKTXOJUTOll,
Manufactured by Denmead A Son, Baltimore,

There is also on exhibition by 1.. Ball A Co.,
the “World Mower and Beeper,’ manntee-
tured at Canton, Ohio, for which there are
claimed improvements over all competitors.
Of the
BUOOIZS AND CAUIAOES,
there is an extensive and tasteful display; and,
first of all, the eye is attracted to three speci
mens from the Atlanta manufactory of Mr. F.
A. Finney. One is an extention top barouche;
the other,a beautifullyifinished open top boggy,
and the third, a wagonette, or “Poney Phae
ton." This work is Tery creditable, and would
hold itsplaco among first class make any
where.
There are, also, two or three buggies, made
in this city, at the shops of Messrs. McBride
and Smith, which are remarkablo for strength
and neatness combined. This firm have here

THE AST purvey
In this building centered the beautiful and
artistic. And dae appreciation for ita con
tents was shown by the crowds Urat flocked
into it It was decidedly the moet popular of
all tho buildings.
Upon entering the olfactory nerves were
tickled with the delightful perfomes which
arose from the beautiful stand of Messrs.
Pemberton Taylor A Co. Here, every per
fume under tho sun appeared to be oollected,
and the show was one of the finest of the kind
we ever aaw. Close along side was Mr. M. W.
Garrison, with a selection of Messrs. Colgate
and Company's fancy and other soaps, some
of which were mado np most admirably to
imitate potatoes, oranges, lemons and other
things. He had one hundred end fifty-two
varieties of soap on his table.
Mr. J. Van Boren and Mr. Oliver Matthews
each exhibited fine collections of Georgia
mineral*.
Two bcantifnl specimens of penmanship
were shown from Messrs. Bryant Stratton
and Saddler’s Commercial College of Balti
more.
Mr. A. C. Ladd bad specimens of hia light
ening rods with ornamental tips on exhibition.
A very novel and exceedingly useful assem
bly or school room desk was drown, the inven
tion of W. A. Slaymakcr, Esq., who lias ap
plied for a patent for it. The seat is a com
fortable one, and the back, when dosed, is a
receptacle for books, Ac., end can be locked.
When open, it forms a neat desk for the nse
of the person sitting behind; when closed,
ample room is given for passage between. The
frame-work is iron, and can be taken apart
with the utmost ease. It is xuanufocturod in
Atlanta, and is well worthy the attention of all
'ho are interested in or who are bnilding
Alexander, and J. M. Holbrook—tho latter
also showing specimens of trunks and v&lises.
A very fine specimen of reeled raw silk,
dyed in four colors, was shown by Mrs. W. G.
Newman. This lady raised tho silk from co
coons, and dyed it herself.
Mrs. J. C. Orr; exhibited affine down muff,
and Mrs. F. Pierce an excellent roll of rag car
pet.
Messrs. Eisraan A Bro. and Rosenfeld, of
the Gate City Clothing Store, exhibited speci
mens of tailoring.
Messrs. M. 0. Markham and Force & Sons
bad cases of shoes; that of the latter being
much admired.
Dr. Pomeroy had a lot of hia Forest Qneen
Hair Restorer on exhibition. This Atlanta
production is making its mark in the world.
Mr. William J. Land, the talented chemist
-attached to Messrs. Pemberton, Taylor A Co.,
had on exhibition n fine selection of manufac
tured chemicals. His crystalizations were
much admired by such men as Prof. Means
and others who knew their worth.
. Messrs. Chamberlin A Boynton had a large
assortment of carpets, mats and rugs which
were much admired for their beauty of de
sign and execution.
Another quite interesting feature of this
room were the specimens of darning, from
little girls. Tho prixo being offered by Mr. J-
C. Kimball. There ore some six or seven
competitors, their ages varying from 6} np to
12} years. It will require exceedingly well
informed judges to award this prize.
Mra. Sarah Land of Macon, exhibited a
very beautiful specimen of ornamental leather
work.
The stand however which attracted most at
tention was tho corner devoted to Mr. George
Sharp, jr., we have not time to more than
mention a few facts. The value of the jewels,
watches and plate exceeded $100,000. A cose
of watches was perhaps the most valuable ever
exhibited. It contained the watch that took
the first premium at Faria in 1667 at Havre in
1868, and at Copenhagen in 1869. This is
made by Jorgensen. Another curiosity is a
Peiregans watch, it tells the second, minute,
hour, day of the week, day of the month, tho
month, and by it yon can time a race. The
show of silver was magnificent, it included
two solid silver tea sets, one after the fashion
of a piece of Pottery found at Herculaneum
by a gentleman of Philadelphia, and is at once
unique and elegant. The other is a gem of art.
The coses merely in which these services are
placed are said to be worth $100. We shall
have more to say about this, as also about the
remaining portion of the hall and the gallery,
which time did not admit of more than the
most ennory examination yesterday.
We report the following items on exhibition
in the Haxdwakx axd Grain Depabzkeez:
One bushel of oats and prolifio com, exhib
ited by J. S. Newman; also, bast bread oom,

finished tiring with all the modern arrange,
men to.
Wadsworth A Co., of Louisville, also bad a
stove on exhibition which attracted the atten
tion of our ladies.
OOODS AXD FUBN1TOKB D]
The first tiling wo examined was a magnifi
cent aetof furniture, manufactured by Hucstis
A Hope. These gentlemen also had a clothe*
wringer on exhibition, which was greatly ad
mired by the ladies.
Mr. John Johnson had a very rare collec
tion of brooms of his own raising. We next
examined a fino and well furnished writing
secretary and twelve chairs exhibited by Mr.
W. R. Knox. Clark A Co. had two handsome
cases, of cutlery, each contouring a full set of
implements.
Mr. E. B. Sawin bad four boxes of globe
nails, which we heard a very large and intelli
gent planter speak very highly ot These nails
are manufactured in Boston and have taken
prizes at other Fain.
A portable fence by ijr. F. H. Green showed
much ingenuity.
A show case, with a rifle of a new invention
and sporting implements, were exhibited by
Mr. Charley Herring. A set of buggy harness
was hanging np. They were home manufac
ture. Mr. Charles Bohnefeld had a handsome
set of furniture on hand.
Messrs. J. S. Adair and G. W. Price each
had a spring mattress on exhibition. Mr. A.
Ergenxinger bad a home manufactured bed-
cad.

The Concord Mills had on exhibition
eighteen bales of medium and nine bales of
fine goods. L B. Janell, agent
The Chattahoochee Factory, situated on
the Chattahoochee river, had some Osnabnrgs
which appeared to be a very superioEarticle.
The Augusta Mills had a large sample of
their sheeting; also, Matt R. Freeman had on
exhibition a patent axle which seemed to be
an improvement on the old style.
W. L. Wadworth A Co. had on exhibition a
set of planished copper stove furniture lined
with tin. These gentlemen represent a Louis
ville firm.
The most novel thing we aaw during the
day was a very unique and ingeniously con
structed bee hive. It is quite a curiosity, and
on exhibition by Mr. Shirk Constant Many
articles for the Fair have not as yet been
placed on exhibition, and hence we have not
been able to make a fall report, but which ws
hope to do daring the week.
In this department were shown the homo-
made carpetings, mgs and coverlets. In the
latter, tho principal exhibitors were Mrs.
Holmes Garnett, Mrs. N. A. Mooro, and Miss
Ellen McDonald.
Elegant assortments of furs and hats were
I shown by Messrs. J. C. Holbrook, Salmons &.
The hour of three having arrived the great
assemblage made its way to the grand am
phitheatre attracted thither by the strains of
the Post Bond, and also the ringing of the
bell summoning the horse* to the track.
Tho Judges selected, were Messrs. W. S.
Clay, Atlanta; lb S. Spalding, LaGrange;
Col. R. Sims, Bainbridge; W. Phillips, Ma
rietta; C. D. Findlay, Macon; J. A. G. An
derson, Marietta, and XL G. Whitlock, Ma
rietta.
To the surprise of every one it was announc
ed that the races would be trotted against
time. Actual competition not being permit
ted. Now with all deference to the ruling
powers wo can see no possible uso for any
such hair-splitting. The understanding ap
peared to be that racing was not -to be per
mitted. This is straining at a gnat and swal
lowing a camel. Wo sincerely hope that the
absurdity of the rale will bo made manifest
and that it will bo allowed in future—such a
course occupies more timo—is not conducive
to any good end and disappoints the public,
who were loud in their remonstrances and
their opinion appeared to be favored by a
number of the gentlemen wearing badges.
The trotting was between horses in the
twelfth class, sections 1 and 2. Tho fastest
trotting singlo harness horse and fastest pair
of trotting horses.
For section 1, fastest singlo hamsss horse,
tho prize was a piece of plate, value $100, and
the entries as follow:
G. C. Shadbnm, Louisville, C. Taylor, Ma
con. J. A. Chambers, Savannah, O. T.
Rogers, Covington. J. H. Houghton, Union
Point and E. B. Eller ton, Nashville.
The first to show on the course was Mr.
Shadbum’s Molly Buckner; she tipped up at
the send off and broke badly all through; she
made the half mile in 1:30 and the milo in
2:50.
Mr. Chambers next appeared, driving his
mare Atlanta, ho got a good steady send off
The mare trotted finely throughout, only
breaking once at the second turn on the sec
ond turn round. After a fiue trot she
under the string in 2:35$, having made the
half mile in 1:15.
Mr. Houghton next tried a trot with Star
light, but gave it up before he had gone a
quarter of a mile. The mare broke so badly
that nothing could be done with her.
Mr. C. Taylor then brought up his horse
Dick Taylor. He made a fine trot; broke up
once or twice, but was so easily caught that it
made but little difference. He made the first
round in 1:23. The mile in 2:46$.
Mr. E. B. Elleston, with Tennessee, next
claimed attention. This horse proved himself
to be a trotter. He made better timo thnn any
of his predecessors, but was unfortunate, as he
broke just as he came in and galloped under
the string. He made the half mile in 1:19.—
The mile in 2:35$. He was, however, rtfled
out. and Mr. Chambers*
f . - ATLANTA WAS DECEARED THE WINNER.
Double teams were noxt in order, and the
following came up for competition:
Mr. J. H. Nichols, of Nocoohee, Go., Kate
and Anna, driven by owner.
Mr. Scott, of Kentucky, Bob Lee and Roger
Hanson, driven by John Faris.
Mr. Goolsby of Jasper county, Orphan Boy
and Ginbnrner, driven by J. Hagly.
Mr. Chambers, Hickory Jack and Atlanta,
driven by owner.
Mr. Taylor’s Dick Taylor and Beauregard,
driven by owner.
Mr. Scott formally objected to Mr. Cham
bers pair trotting, as they were not a match
team. He said he had brought his horses a
thousand miles, and he would not trot against
any but match teams.
Much discussion followed, the yesult of
which was that Chambers was allowed to trot
his pair, and Mr. Soott declined to permit his
horses to trot against him, and sent his pair
from the track. We regret that the misunder
standing should have occurred through a
vagueness of language in the premium list,
particularly as Mr. Scott's horses were univer
sally admired, and many believed after tbs
race was over that they would have won had
they been permitted to run.
Mr. Chamber's two showed up first, and
made their mile in splendid style in 2:54$*
Jack, however, broke and was running wliea
going under the string. —
Mr. Gouldsby's pair of blacks, a handsome
light team, trotted round very steadily, going
the mile in 3:17.
Mr. Taylor brought Dick Taylor and
Beauregard round in 3:03$, beating
Mr. Nichols* ponies by two seconds. They
trotted well, but broke once or twice and it
was bard to get them back. They were hand
some, hardy little mares and were much ad
mired.
Mr. Chambers was ruled out, and Mr. Tay
lor's pair,
TAYUM AND BEAUREGARD, DECEARED THE
Wo wish we could close our report of the
day's proceeding without alluding to anything
of an unpleasant character, but we have to
chronicle the fact that
THE UNITED STATES FLAG WAS HAULED DOWN
by order of the President of tho society about
11 a. sc. The flag had been floating all the
morning as also had one from a flag-staff of
Messrs. Wooten and Mercer. The President,
however, ordered both to be token down and
hia mandate was obeyed. A fine string o
Banting was left up, however, belonging to
Mr. Mercer. The following correspondence
explains itself:
7b ike Pesident and Executive Committee
the Georgia State Agricultural Society—Gentle-
men: We, the undersigned, have seen with
regret and no slight apprehension that the
hauling down of the National ensign this
morning on these grounds has given rise to
to much discussion, and we ourselves enter
tain very grave doubts, of tho propriety and
policy of the act
We can see no possible barm which could
result from flying the United States flag, and
see, or think wo see, a great deal of harm
which may result from a refusal on the part of
the ruling authorities of the State Agricultu
ral Society to allow this flag to be hoisted.
We then, in view of all the facts, beg leave
most respectfully to urge that at the soonest
practicable moment you give orders to have
the national ensign replaced.

CURIOSITIES.
Messrs. Bates and Tolley, of tho Montreal
Museum, have the most attractive exhibition
on the Fair Ground. A boy weighing 478
pounds, 8 feet high; a woman with a heard
and an educated hog. This hog is a mathe
matical genius, and his calculations on the
black-board are truly wonderful. People vis
iting the Fair will miss a treat if they fail to
see the educated hog.
NOVEL SWING.
Among the many novelties is a swing made
by an Illinois gentleman, Mr. H. Cobb, now
on exhibition at the Park. It is a circular un
der a canvass, accommodates mpapi persons,
owned by Relyea and Phelps.
SEATING RINK.
This place of amusement was visited yes
terday by scores.
THE ADJACENT SCENES AND ATTRACTIONS
ore many and various. Mr. James Mace and
his little crowd bang out under a canvas near
ly opposite the entrance. Close by the is the
shebang of Mr. Coughlin, who dispenses sand
wiches, ale, Ac. , of admirable quality, at mod
erate prices. A shooting gallery, near by, is
extensively patronized, and numberless re
freshment stands line the road from Atlanta
to the grounds.

SECOND DAY.
MECHANICAL.
Notwithstanding tho raw air, and conse-
sequeut demand for standing places around
furnaces, the halls dovotod to tho display of
Agricultural and other mechanical works,
were thronged with visitors at an early hour:
and a glance at tho private depot for such im
pliments dovotod entirely to tho display of
machinery from the house of that enterprising
and wide-awake dealer of this city, Sami A.
Echols, at once convinced every now comer
that he had something thero worth seeing
and making a note of.
Taking each object of interest os they come,
we first notice the.
AMERICAN CIDER AND WINE MILL,
manufactured by 'Williamson & Brothers, Har
risburg, Penn. This is a largo, and to all ap
pearance, excellent mill, having heavy balance,
and five smaller wheels, and is turned by
crank. In connection with it is a screw press.
The machine is neatly and substantially made,
and elicits considerable commendation. Im
mediately beside it is a
NO. TWO,
smaller, and more simplified in its construc
tion. It turns by a balance wheel, which,
with the “grinder,” constitutes the entire
complication of its revolving machinery.
Next comes Brunswick’s National
HAT CUTTER,
a simple, and to all appearance, efficient help
to the farmer; and close beside it is Nos. 2, 3,
4 and 5, of the
TELEGRAPH FODDER CUTTER.
Theso machines are noticed by everybody
within tho Hal), and are highly commented
on by thoso who liave tested their qualities.
They are adapted, by their size and strength,
to general cutting uses on the farm or planta
tion, and, in point of workmanship, aro neatly

8NOW WASHING MAC1HINE.
Among the hundreds of machines of this
kind, the “Snow” seems the most simple in
construction, and the better adapted thereby
to fill tho wants of the housewife and profes
sional washer of linen, of any before observed.
It is worked by lever force, and the washing
dono by two adversely moving, washer sup
plied boards. It is entered by L. Spencer,
Social Circle, Go. Accompanying the above
is the
KNUCKLE WASHER,
patented by L. E. Ransom. This is merely a
fixture to any ordinary washing tub, and looks
liko tho possessor of some merit in making
soiled linens iunocnlate. Thero aro two discs,
supplied with rubbers, the lower of which
fastens to the bottom of the tub, tho upper
ono sliding on and revolving around a shaft,
to which is attached a lever power. In thin
connection we will mention that there are two
or three other inventions of this kind on ex
hibition at Mr. Echols* stand, bnt we, as yet,
have had ito opportunity of examining them.
Among other articles of small note, but much
importance to the farmer, is an iron “Road
Scraper,” the “Lanscape Roller,” an improve
ment on the ox yoke, an ingenious and handy
clothes form, and the “Thermometer,” “Mon-
iter,” and “Cylinder” churns, all of which
may get a better notice before tho exhibition
is over.
The display of heavy fanning machinery at
this stand is good, but not yet so arranged as
to afford a just and sufficiently comment.
MECHANICS HOUSE,
at ten o’clock in the morning, was crowded
with spectators; and by eleven, the greater
portion of the machinery thus far pnt in run
ning order, was in full motion, making a whirr
and route that alone seemed sufficiently exbil-
crating for tho shivering spectators. The
scene here was in strong contrast to that of
yesterday, and as the work nears completion,
it will day by day become the more interesting
and attractive to visitors. .
Prominent, to-day, among the machinery,
is tho
SEPERATOR AND SMUTTER.
This useful piece of mechanical skill and in
genuity is manufactured by M. Deal, Bucyrus,
Ohio, and put on exhibition by E. J. Camp.—
It claims to bo the greatest improvement mode
for several years, and has many admirers.
It saves the necessity of other screws, fans,
etc., doing the whole at one operation, and,
no doubt, is an important feature in agricul
tural wants.
low’s PATENT SHINGLE MACHINE
was kept in full swing during tho day. It
turns out rapidly and beautifully executed
work. The advantages claimed on its great
simplicity and durability, ease of opeigtion
and quantity as well as variety of work.
Having a horizontal shaft, no counter shaft is
needed, and tho saw is so arranged with tho
machinery that it can run to the right or left,
and always cut w ith the grain. It claims to
turn out, ordinarly, from twenty to thirty
thousand shingles in a day.
8HAW’s COTTON SEED DULLER
is a marked featuro in the Hall, and was pat in
operation at noon. This comes home to ev
ery planter in the South, and very favorably
commented on by nil, present. The Haller is
from the Diamond Mills manufacturing Com
pany, Cincinnati, Ohio, and is put on exhibi
tion by Messrs. Glenn & Wright, of At
lanta.
A novelty, and what is looked upon as some
thing worthy of particular note, is the
HAND POWER SAWING MACHINE,
Manufactured by Porter & Butler, Atlanta.
It claims to be particularly adapted to car
riage, wagon, cabinet, and trunk manufacture.
The frames are of cast iron, and the weight of
the machine is twelve hundred pounds. It oc
cupies a space of four by eight feet, and can
be run by steam or horse-power.
In
THE LADIES* DEPARTMENT
Yesterday, we were shown through their Hall
by the gentleman who is in charge of it
The first thing that we noticed was a very
large collection of hermetical preserved fruit.
It was on exhibition by A. A. Snope of Indian
apolis, Indiana.
Mrs. G. W. D. Cook of this city had a largo
collection and varied assortment of canned
preserves, canned corn, grape and scupper-
nong wines.
Pease and his Wife had also a large assort
ment of good things, including watermelon
rind preserves, muskmclon preseves, etc.

etc. Mrs. Young's apple wine had tho nppear-
anco of being very sweet and fine.
Mrs. Y. P. Tomlinson of Dalton had on ex
hibition watermelon rind preserve*, which has
already taken two prizes. We never saw any
thing more beautiful than her jar.
Mrs. Dr. Sells of this city had a very large
and choico collection of boiled tomatoo catsup,
snap beans, (canned) peas, ochra, asparagos,
(all canned) also canned corn, quince and
peach butter, and many other things.
A largo crowd of admiring ladies and gen
tlemen stood around one of tho most beauti
ful cakes we ever saw. Upon it was the name
of G. W. Jack. A. G. Holmes, of Gwinnett
connty, had twenty-four bottles of wino and
cordials. We hope we may bo pardoned for
saying that Mr. J. Guthman, of this city, had
tho finest keg of Scuppernong wine we ever
sampled. It had age and strength.
Mr. S. M. Seely showed ushis'ossortmcnt of
crackers. He represents a Louisville firm.
They had the appearance of being fine.
Dr. F. D. Thurman had on exhibition a
raro collection of strawberry plants.
Mrs. James Adkins has one of the most
tempting jars of preserves on exhibition.
Mrs. J. W. Harris, of Oartersville, has a
varied assortment of preserves and fruit.

by Miss Courtney Mills 63 years old. • We
were shown some Georgia mado piccadilla in
cluding green tomatoe sauce and stuffed cab
bage made by Mrs. Col. James M. Ball, of
Atlanta.
Mr. D. T. Milling, who has charge of the
ladies' side of the Hall, very kindly showed us
a great variety of preserves, jellies, jams and
pickles, made by Mrs. M. A. Hamilton, of
Columbia county. They looked superb and
show Mrs. Hamilton to be a model house
keeper.
The stationary engine that runs the ma
chinery in Mechanicc Hall, is from the manu
factory of B. W. Payne & Sons, Corning, N.
Mr. B. N. Payne has it in charge, and is
constantly on hand to superintend its working.
At the upper end of the Hall is one of Sargent's

Tho prize was taken by Mr. W. W. Cooksey,
of Whitfield county.
BROOD MARES AND COLTS.
For this interesting ; class there were many
rate of exchange between Prussian Ihulers,
French francs, Austrian icreulyers, and my
country’s currency. If the Fair Grounds arc
restored to the dominion of the United States,
will not avail myself of your dead head if
tendered, tor my only object is to improve
myself by foreign travel.

Its weight is nine thousand five hundred
pounds, and it is a beautiful specimen of
work. The lock used on it is Sargent’s
‘Magnetic Combination,” which is set by
numbers, and is capable of giving ono hun
dred million changes before being opened by
other than the proper method.
Out of doors thero are, in the way of
cotton presses,
the “Utly,” manufactured by Glenn & Wright,
of this city. This Press was tried, during the
afternoon, and worked to the satisfaction of
all present Then comes tho “Schofield,
from Macon, and Smith’s “Steol Rocket,'
neither of which have been tested. In close
proximity to theso stands a
COTTON GIN FEEDER,
Tho only one, as yet, on the grounds. This
comes from its manufactory, Sing Sing, N.
Y. It has been patented three times; is neatly
made, and is said to possess good qualities.
WAGONS.
Of these the number is not great bnt the
quality good. They aro from . J. L. Hudson
A Co., Cumming, Ga, Short A Buckner Dal
ton, Semple, Berge A Co. 8L Louis, and from
one or two other manufactories not ascertained.
The wagon from Short & Buckner is a remark
able piece of stout and elegant workmanship,
is, also, the one on exhibition by Berge
Co. In lino with these, we noticed a long
row of the
BRIGGS CULTIVATORS.
They are manufactured at Cleveland, Ohio,
and are placed on exhibition by Glenn
Wright. They are neatly made, and present
a fine appearance among the many noticeable
objects around them. Just beyond these,
comes a long array of
HEAVY AND LIGHT PLOWS.
They are from the manufacturing house of
Watt A Knight, Richmond, Va., and in tbc
main will compare well with any collections
on the grounds. Under this head, wo may
as well jump book to tho upper floor of tho
Hall and look over the large collection
these implements gathered there. First of all
comes ono of a novel, ingenious and useful
cast, known as
XOUNLEX’s UNIVERSAL PLOW.
The cutter to tho plow is a circular and re
volving blade, and isAvdapted to tho heaviest
sod, or rooty grouffiL It took ( two premiums
at the Memphis exhibition. Then wo have,
the samo collection,
THE UNION,
so arranged as to utilize its uso by nine differ
ent implements, or blades. By purchasing
ono plow, the farmer saves twenty-four dollars
by use of implements attached tp it Thero
have been two hundred and fifty premiums,
and twenty-three patents awarded it, within
the lost ten years. Keeping company with
this is the •>£*•'
SUB-SOIL,
fhnfc took the premium and certificate at tho
Memphis Fair last week. The “Universal,”
“Union,” and “Sub-Soil” aie manufactured
by Mr. Brinley at Louisville, K. Y. He is
here in charge of them.
A very neat and attractive object is the
WALKING CULTIVATOR,
manufactured, and put on exhibition by T.
H. Jones A Co., Nashville, Tenn, -This ma
chine carries four shovels, and does the work
of two men, and four horses, with ordinary
cultivators. Tho couplings give ample play
for the blades to avoid stumps or other imped
iments, and its gague can be regulated to suit
the required distance of rows. The same firm
have on this floor the
ROTARY HARROW,
So arranged that a rotary movement is kept
up when the machine is going forward. It is
of light weight, and has thirty steel teeth. A
magnificent
FANNING MILL
Is on exhibition by the same firm. It
claimed to clean wheat from chaff at the rate
of from three to four hundred bushels per
day. It is equally useful in cleaning out
cheat, cockle, and other impurities m wheat.
They also have in the Hall a large collection
of plows, and other impliments from their
manufactory. There ore a great many
GUANO AND GRAIN DISTRIBUTORS
On exhibition, and seemingly of every con
ceivable design. But the simplest and most
efficient of them all seemed to be in a small
contrivance, to be carried in the band, and is
capable of distributing grain, or guano, over
as much ground as a man can traverse, regula
ting itself to the speed of the walker.
In the department assigned to the display of
CARRIAGES.
We find a handsome collection from the
manufactory establishment of Kimball Broth
ers, of this city. They are, in every respect,
of a superior quality, and finish, and were
highly commended during the day, and said
to be equal to any of the Eastern make.
In this line, we come to the stand of Mr. W.
D. McCracken, who has on exhibition tho -
SUBTEN PATENT WHEEL,
from the Royal Wheel Company, Cincinnati,
Ohio. Theso wheels aro superior to any made,
and are extonsivoly used by manufacturers in
this city.
HORSES AND AGRICULTURAL STOCK.
Yesterday, owing to tho inclement state of
tho weather tho programme was altered, and
tho following stock was exhibited and judged
upon:

This premium wan long contested, and the
judges had a hard timo to fix upon the suo
cessful competitor. The .right one .was, how
ever, finally picked up and made the prize by
the admirable movement and management of
Mr. Farris. There aro figures which cannot
lie in this connection, and Mr. Scott's horse
when it received the premium was hailed with
many cheers. Competitors for
THE BEST SINGLE HARNESS HORSE, (SOUTHERN
BRED)
Were next pnt into the ring and excited much
admiration. There wore seven entries; the
prizo being awarded to Mr. Salter's Hickory:
B. Heggic driving. Tennessee was entered in
this class, and excited the attention of a few of
the knowing ones.
While this was goiug on hr the ring, horses
intending to compete for the eleventh class,
section one and two came off For the mile
race, Mrs. C. T. Rani, of Montgomery, showed
a fine horse, the other competitors calling up
a force of Archer’s crowd. Harvey, Gulliver
driver, made very good time, and the premium
was awarded in this class to time, showed a
dead heat which was ridden for again, the first
mile was run in 1:58}.
Mr. Goldsby won the prize, for a two mile
horse, there being no other entry. .
An an instance of tho temper of tho public,
wo may mention that when it was announced
that Shillalch and Harvey would trot the final
heat together, cheers on cheers were raised.

"War.
From the New York Tribune.]
On the 20th of April, 1861, Colonel Lee,
after a service of twenty-five yearn, resigned
his position in the United States army, send
ing his letter of resignation to General Scott,
at Washington. It was in the following
Arlington, Va., April 20, 1861.
General: Since my interview with you on
the 18th instant, I have felt that I ought not
longer to retain my commission in the army.
I therefore tender my resignation, which I re
quest you will recommend for acceptance. It
would have been presented at once but for tho
struggle it coat me to separate myself from a
service to which I have devoted all the best
years of my life and all the ability I possessed.
During the whole of that time—more than
a quarter of a century—I have experienced
nothing but kindness from my superiors, and
the most cordial friendship from my comrades..
To no one, General, have I been as much in
debted as to yourself for uniform kindness
and consideration, and it has always been my
ardent desire to meet your approbation, l
shall carry to the grave the most grateful
ollcctions.of your kind consideration, and
your name and fomo will always bo dear to
me.
Save in defense of my native State, I never
desire again to draw my sword. Bo pleased
to accept my most earnest wishes for the con*
tinuance of your happiness and prosperity,
and: believe me most truly youra,

A LETTER TO IOK SISTER. , #
To his sister, the wife of an officer loyal to
his flag, ho wrote:
'My dear Sister: I am grieved at my ina
bility to see you. * * ’ 4 * * I have
been waiting tor a more “convenient season,”
which has brought to many before me deep and
lasting regret. We aro now in a state of war
which will yield to nothing. The wholo
South is in a stato of revolution, into whioh
Virginia, after a long struggle,- baa been
drawn; and though I recognize no necessity
for this state of things, and would have for
borne and pleaded to the end for redress of
grievances, real or supposed, yet in my own
person I had to meot the question
whether I should take part against my
native State. With all my devotion to tfv*
Union, and the feeling of loyalty and duty of
an American citizen, I have not been able to
mako up my mind to raise my bond against
my relatives, my children, my home. I have,
therefore, resigned my commission in the army
and save in defense of my native State—with
the sincere hope that my poor services may
never be needed—I hope I may never be called
upon to draw my sword.”
This was the only definition of his position
over given by him. Ilis resignation was in
stantly accepted, and he at once took np his
residence in Richmond, as coHjipander of the
forces of Virginia.

raco in good time, beating Capt Archer's P.
M. B. Young. Tho grey was a racer and was
appreciated by all. . . .
THE DEAD HEAT
was run for between Shillaleh and Harvey.
Shillalch was winning when his rider was
thrown and the race consequently fell to
Harvey. Being entered by a lady this was the
correct thing.
TO-MORROW.

grammo for to-morrow. We have much to

day, and it is impossible to get round the
Fair in a day or two.
