The Macon State Fair.
We have received a copy of the re-
j.nr of Messrs. .1. K. Brown, H. D.
ura itii-l W. L. liioun, in behull'ot
llie Alumni Society of the University,
concerning the College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts, addressed to the
members of the Agricultural Conven
tion and the memberti of the Legisla
ture.
The committee, after giving the sub
stance of the acts of Congress in ref
erence to the land grant, present an
interesting resume of the object of an
agricultural college, action of other
States, the expense of independent col
leges of agriculture, the fitness and
economy of concentrating the fund in
the Suite Univcr ity, with the opinion
of many lamed educators in support
of the policy of associating these col
leges with literary institutions.
The States of California, Connecti
cut, Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky,
Minnesota, Missouii, New Jersey, New
York, New Hampshire, North Caroli
na, Tennessee, Vermont, Rhode I-land,
West Virginia and Wisconsin have
given the fund to existing institutions,
and to the State Universities, where
there were such institutions. Pennsyl
vania, Maryland, Michigan and Iowa
had agricultural colleges already, estab
lished, to which the fund was donated.
Only the States of Illinois, Maine,
Ohio and Massachusetts established in
dependent agricultural colleges with
this fund—the latter. State giving two-
thirds of it to such a school at Amherst.
Mississippi gave two-fifths of the fund
to tho University of Mississippi.
The expenses of agricultural colleges
in the States named vary from 821,000
to *14,000 a year, while none of them
have succeeded in securing a large at
tendance, even when tuition is free.—
The only extra expense necessary to be
incurred in giving the University of
Georgia all the facilities embraced in
nn agricultural college, is stated to lie
a Professor of Agriculture, one of Ap-
plied Chemistry, one of Veterinary
Medicine and Surgery, with lectures
on various practical subjects.
It has been found that agricultural
schools, when organized separate from
literary institutions, soon become to be
regarded as the in'erior colleges of an
inferior caste, and thus the great object
of elevating and dignifying industrial
education is defeated. Manual labor
sc)tools have also been unsuccessful, and
ciqierience shows that it is not desirable
to make the drudgery of routine labor
in shop or field a necessary part of the
course of instruction. Facilities for
experiments, in illustrating principles,
or developing theories, and for those
who desire to labor a part of the tihie,
arc essential.
In Prussia and Scotland, where prac
tical education has received special at
lention, schools of agriculture and the
mechanic arts are united with scientific
uml classical instruction.
These are the leading poiuts embraced
in the report, and they arc presented
with convincing clearness and force, and
will doubtless have great weight in the
minds of those who my..to give direction
to the Congressional Laud Grant.
The arrangements for the Fair at
Macon are on a grander scale than has
herubilorc been attempted in Georgia.
The city of Macon has expended over
850,000 in the erection of buildings,
and in fitting up the Ceutrol Trotting
Park, and the buildings, grounds and
race track are said to be the best in the
Uuitcd States. Mayor Hulf has call
ed to his uid the best architectural
skill, and all the improvements are in
admirable taste, and of a substantial
character.
The premiums are very liberal, and
will lie paid in green-backs. Many
new and most interesting articles will
tie on exhibition; among these, two
steam plows will perhaps be leading
attractions. The immense balls will
accommodate a vast collection of people,
and every arrangement has been made
to prevent the discomfort that attended
the Fair at Macon two years ago.
A leading attraction to visitors will
be the regatta on the river. Tiie bank
has been beautifully terraced for near
ly a mile, and commands a full view
of the river. Fifteen crews have been
invited, mid this novel spectacle will
be worth seeing. Indeed, it is worth
a visit to Macon to take a stroll through
the Fair Grounds. The views from
the magnificent grove, mid from the
balconies of the buildings, are enchant-

Organizing for the Conflict.
The recent utterances of the North
cm Democracy in their State Conven
tions, afford a pretty dear indication
•of the line of |n>licy to be pursued in
tho Presidential canvass. It is evi
«lcnt that they do not intend to incur
.again the charge of having revolution 1
ary designs, or of sympthy with rebels,
as they did in 18158. Nor do they ap-
jicar inclined to permit the recent con
stitutionul amendments to enter into
the canvass. The New York Demo
cracy. while repudiating the Tninniany
ring, do not refer to these amendments
at all. Their resolutions are national
in spirit, Iiold in denunciation of Kadi
ml misrule, and contain nothing often
five to the jicople of the South.
The Dcmoc.racy of Illinois declare
tliat they regard the Constitution, with
its amendments, as theJSupreme law of
the kind, to Iks resjieeied ami observed
in all its part.-, and pledge tiiejuselves
to maintain at all times the constitu
tional rights and franchises of all men
without regard to previous condition.

During the lust two weeks, we }>ai(l a
hurried visit to the above named cities,
and intended presenting a running ac
count of par observations, but the pres
sure on our space forbids more than a
passing acknowledgement of the cour
tesies received and heartily enjoyed.
Augusta is pressing steadily on, in
the solid and substantial way which
has won for it a business reputation
second to no city of its size in America.
While there are few startling evidences
of improvement, there is evcrwherc
isible solid and healthy progress.
Stocks are large, especially in dry goods,
and facilities in the wholesale trade arc
better than they have been for years.
The approaching fair was a leading
topic of interest, and preparations were
going forward for a much more attrac
tive exposition than the last. The re
signation of Dr. Tutt as President
mused, by his removal to New York—
was universally regretted—but his
place is well-filled by Mr. Berckmaus,
who is devoting his great energy, ex
perience and taste to the interests of
the association. Mr. Gray, the Secre
tary, is a model officer, and in his
hands the details of the exhibition will
move forward like clock-work.
Our advertising columns attest the
interest whicli the Augusta merchants
feel in the trade of our section, Kind it
will always afford us pleasure to second
every effort for strengthening the inti-
inato relations that have long existed
between that market and North-East
Georgia;
It is always pleasant to visit Savan
nah, and enjoy the courtesy and hospi
tality which its citizens know so well
how to disponse. In a business way
there is a angular indifference to North-
East Georgia. But this grows in part
out of the fact that until recently the
freight charges forbodeallho|)e of estab
lishing more intimate trade relations
beet ween the two points.
Cotton seems to be regarded the one
thing needful to make a city; and in
deed it is developing for Savannah
great commercial prominence. Perhaps
a hundred first class cotton factors are
located along the Bay, and the revenues
derived from.three quarters of a mil
lion bales, now annually received at
that port, diffuse a healthy activity
through all the interests of the city;
but.itis a uotable fact that other com
inepcial interests have not kept pace
with the enlarged receipts of the great
staple, which is due mainly to the en
terprise of the railroad Hues running
into the.interior; and especially to the
mqo^-ubp&cd Central road, which is
drawing receipts from the Mississippi
^valley, mid reaching ,out to meet the
great liqcs stretching to the Pacific.
This road, in connection with its
splendid lines of steamers, has recently
effected arrangements witbllie Georgia
road whereby freights of all kinds are
transported between Athens and Savan-
vah qud the Nertheru markets, at rates
whifih riiqald direct the business of
every progress enterprise, is the Secre
tary, and every arrangement for a
grand success is going forward with
vigorous dispatch. We are indebted
to the courtesy of Mr. EstiU for a visit
to the. Fair Grounds, in company with
Harris,(Sairy Gamp’sfriend) and Fitch
of the Griffin Star: And speaking of
EstiU, I cannot refrain from congratu
lating him on his splcndi 1 .-ucacss as a
joulruah »—the a .es in oil ".is appoint
ments being acknowledged the most
complete printing establishment, and
best edited journal in the South At
lantic States. Maj.^Thompson, who
founded the paper, still besides as its
Editor-iu-ehief, and though proud of
being a Bourbon, seems as young in
feeling as when he indulged in the
fancies of Major Jones’ Courtship in
Madison, a quarter of a century ago.
We visited the offices of the Ad
vertiser and Republican, the former
japer has been issued for several years
as au advertising sheet, at a nominal
price, and has grown into such favor
that it is about to be made a subscrip
tion paper. It is conducted with great
industry and vigftr. Col. Sneed is a
regular Atlas in journalism, having
for years presided overall departments
of his excellent paper, doing the work
of two or three men, and doing it weU.
To relieve himself of this burden of la
bor and care, he desires to sell the pa-
j»er. It is a rare opening.
We spent a day pleasantly in Macon,
taking a stroll, with Mayor Huff,
through the fair grounds—to which re
ference is made elsewhere—and calling
on the press gang, all of whom we
found in harness and pulling stcadUy
at their work. The Conventions of the
Firemen and of the Good Templars
weie in session. With the former it
was evidently a gay and festive occas
ion. The delegates were invited to a
drive through the fare grounds, and at
night were tendered a supper at the
Brown House, to which we were in
vited. Athens was well represented
by Captains Beusse and Bishop, both
of whom will endorse any quantity of
admiration for the splendid hospitality
of tlieir Macou brothers. The Banquet
was worthy of the Maoon Firemen,
and of the Brown House, which is all
we need say of its princely elegance
and sumtuous bounty. By the way,
the Brown House has been thoroughly
renovated, and is resplendent with new
frescoing, painting, and elegant furni
ture, and its table is the best we know
of.
The Central and Macon & Augusta
roads have repaired the extensive dam

The Chicago Fire.
The burning of Chicago is the most
frightful conflagration of modern times.
The great London fire of 1666, was
scarcely one fourth as large, and no
other since that time at all compares
with it iu magnitude. Just think of
as many people houseless as the entire
population of Charleston, Savannah,
Augusta, Macon, Columbus and At
lanta, and some idea of tlie unexampled
loss and suffering can be formed.
The effect of this disaster will be felt
throughout the entire country. The
failures that must follow in New York
and elsewhere, and the withdrawal from
trade of the vast sums required to pay
insurance losses, will cause stringency
in money circles for some time to come.
The sympathy and commiseration of
the whole world will be enlisted in be
half of the sufferers. Important con
tributions have already been made for
the relief of the distressed, aud the
offices of tender pity and melting
charity will do much to mitigate the
horrors of the unexampled disaster.

There were hundreds of others like
wise distracted, and many made des-
jierate by whiskey or beer which, from
excess of thirst, they drank, in absence
of water, in great quantities, who spread
themselves in every direction, a terror
to all they met.
It is fearful to think of the loss of
life. It is conjectured with good cause
that more than 500 were burned to
death. Four men entered a burning
building, and in a moment they were
overwhelmed by a falling wall. There
was a crowd of men around the corner
of the building trying to save the pro-
|>erty, when the wall yielding, some
were buried beneath it. * About twelve
or fifteen, men, women and children,
rushed into the building of the Histo
rical Society, a tire-proof building, for
safety, but in a few minutes the flames
burst iu and they were burned to death.
Among those who took refuge in this
building, was the venerable Colonel
Samuel Stone, who is about eighty
years old, for a long time connected
witli the society. Also John B. Ger
ard and wife, and Madame De Pil-
gravc, a noted teacher of music. It is
feared that Dr. Friearand family were
also burned, ns they were in tlie build
ing and have not been seen. Mrs. Ed-
safl, whose husband was murdered last
week and who was suffering from an
illness, was carried for protection to a
building which was afterwards burned,
and it is feared she also perished.
All the books and papers of the His
torical Society’, including the original
copy of the famous emancipation proc
lamation of President Lincoln, which
the Society’ paid $25,000 for, was de
stroyed. . .
It is feared that a large number of
chUdren, inmates of the Catholic Or-
E han Society, on State street, were
urned.
A father rushed up stairs to carry
his three children away* when he was
overtaken by the flames and perished
with them. Tlie mother was after
wards seen on the streets a raving ma
niac.
In the same neighborhood a family
of five persons perished. The list of
such fatalities is very large, and can
only lie fully verified after the smoke
shall have cleared away.
A careful survey of insurance to-day
show that there were written on pro-
jierty destroyed over $200,000,000.—
Add another 8100,000,000 to this sum
and a fair estimate can be reached of
the loss.
All the leading merchants who have
been seen express a determination to
resume business at once.
The Evening Journal and Tribune
hope to publish a small sheet to-mor
row.
A special session of the Illinois Leg
islature will be called to aid business
men, and provide employment for the
poor apprehending that suffering may
cause crime.

A fire broke out in Chicago last
Saturday night, destroying property to
the extent of half a million dollars.
At nine o’clock on Sunday night an
other fire broke out, in the Western
district, and a furious gale prevaUing
at the time, it defied the efforts of the
firemen, and continued to bum for
nearly two days. It swept from street
to street, and block to block, untU an
area five miles long and a mile wide
was completely destroyed.
It is impossible now to approximate
a correct statement of losses, but a
faint idea may be formed when it is
stated that every bank in the city, ex
cept; two savings institutions on 22d
street, m the sonth division, and one
on Randolph street in the west divis
ion, are destroyed. All wholesale
stores, all retaU establishments, post-
office, court-house, chamber of com
merce, every hotel in the south division
except Michigan Avenue Hotel, which
is standing on the extreme southern
limit, which escaped, though it is bad
ly scorched, and every newspaper office
is burned. The Tribune buUding,
which was supposed to he five-proof,
finally succumbed. Six of the largest
elevators, the immense depots of the
Michigan Southern and IUinois Cen
tral railroads, both passenger and
freight, are ' homed. More than a
score of churches and nyich shipping
on the river are destroyed.

tlie Brown Brothers gave $5,000 each,

Some of the losses of the New York
Insuraucc Companies by the Chicago
fire are stated as follows:
Citizens $25,000, HauoverS250,000,
Columbia $3,000, Republic $225,000,
Tradesmen’s $25,000, the Germania
and Niagara have a risk but tlie amount

and London companies, $4JflM00.
The Potentx, of Hartford, $906,000.

pendent, and Hide and Leathrf Co’s,
of Boston, lose heavily, and the latter
has suspended. Many Westerii com

The origin of the fire was in a stable
where a woman, with n kerosene lamp,

they stand. All trill pay as rapidly
as possiqle, and have beg in it arrange
ments to that effect.
The life insurance companies have
many millions loaned on real estate
