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- A glance at our advertising pages will ufTord au idea of the leading attractions of the week. 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. Tim Democracy of aJl tlie great Northern and Western States hue in- d cited;’, similar j«>liey. Itferriug to th« .action of ti;e Northern Democracy, the Gw*1itutioiudirt, observes that “on Augusta, Savannah and Macon 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.

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.

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 age of the late flood, and are in fine order. The Georgia road has recently added more ot those elegant passenger coaches, and the entire trip was render ed pleasant by the comforts and cour tesies enjoyed on these great popular lines. of the river on west to the Inks and east.

WAGONS MADE TO ORDER, * t'AiiiiMaKsdtin VKiuci.ew of am, kindm J. H. LOWREY, 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.

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.

More than a score of churches and nyich shipping on the river are destroyed. mont, Duncan, Sherman & Co, and tlie Brown Brothers gave $5,000 each, to the Chicago sufferers. 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 is not given. Tho .Etna Insurance company, of Hartford, and Home, of New York, each lose about $2,000,000. Liverpool and London companies, $4JflM00. The Potentx, of Hartford, $906,000. ’lhe National, New England, Inde pendent, and Hide and Leathrf Co’s, of Boston, lose heavily, and the latter has suspended. Many Westerii com panies are ruined.

Quite a large number of firemeu have beett killed. The Conveut of Mercy was burned. The pave nents have been burned. One hundred squares were burned in the South Division. One hundred thousand employees are out cf employment The county records were saved, but the city records were lost. The Sub-Treasury at Chicago lost $2,000,000 of which half a million was iu gold. Many of the insurance companies have temporary suspended to see how they stand. All trill pay as rapidly as possiqle, and have beg in it arrange ments to that effect.
