The facilities for shipping goods from, the Northare such that the display of machinery will probably be specially attractive; and Southern Georgia and Florida will show the rare tropical products which do not reach the Fairs of the interior. It will be a pleasant season to visit Sa vannah, and arrangements will be mode The Jliu-on Fun. The Fair of the State Agricultural Society, held last week at Macon, was the most interesting and creditable in dustrial exposition ever held in the State. The number of entries was fully as large a« at any previous Fair, Fugitive GrnERx.vroas.—It is a ! singular cuiui-idi-uce that Bri c !iam Young of Utah, and Rufus B. Bullock of Georgia, have felt constrained to leave their respective capitols the same week to escape prosecution; the saintly Brigham for having too many wives, and our own Executive tor having too many bonds. seat a sufficient number of Republican { Senators to secure his conviction with- j shallow and infamous pretext, urged in mid the number of new and valuable liU letter, that his course was necessary to prevent the State from falling into tlio hands of the old rebel lenders, is designed to divert attention at the North, from the grave offences for which lie knew he must answer to the Legis lature. The chief of these, as now ap pears, was the transfer of an immense amount of the Imnds of the State to Kimball, in advance of the ermphrtion of the Brunswick, Albany and Eufaula Railroad, and in excess of the total amount which will lie due when the pad is completed. The amount of tliese bonds is 815,000 a mile, 81,880,000 of State bonds, and 8-8,000 a mile, of indorsed bonds, making 83,300,000 iu all. The load is done only to AIIkiiiv, nml yet it nppenrs that Bullock has turned over all the bonds to Kimhali, and it is believed that they are hypothecated or sold, and therefore he cannot get conti ol of them, or prop erly account for them to the Legisla ture. The penalty under the Code, (see section 4355) for fraudulently tak ing away the bonds of the State, is im prisonment in the penitentiary for from two to seven years. If he has, by mis placed confidence in Kimball, or from other motives, transferred these bonds illegally, he is answerable under the law, and his precipitate flight looks very much as though he felt himself liable. He fays that he will give Gov. Conley all the information in his power, in con ducting the Executive affairs of the State, and it is possible, perhaps, that lie may account for the disposition of the bonds referred to. The impression in financial circles in Atlanta is, tlint they have passed beyond his control. The question whether Gov. Conley shall discharge the functions of Gov ernor after a new President of the Senate is elected, or during Bullock’s unexpired term, or until a successor can lie elected, are questions to be de cided. The indications arc that no at tempt will lie made to give the new President of the Senate control of the Executive office, but that an election will lie ordered immediately. The times call for prudent counsels. Lot us hope that in the midst of the pending extraordinary exigency, we may avert the results that have befallen some of our sister States in their efforts to threw off the load of Radical mis rule. Force Defeating Itself. The uniform history of recon struction, says the Augusta Constitu tionalist, from the day of the rejec tion of the Sherman-Johnston Convention, to the present time, is that the policy of force 1ms been a failure. The military power of the Government under the disfranchise ment enforcement net-*, has been wielded with a view to intimidate and crush out opposition through fear. A Radical party has been created under these base influences to repress the true voice of the Southern jieople, and give the elec toral votes of those States to the Republicans. But in almost every Statu where bayonets have been introduced to carry out the scheme, the spirit of constitutional liberty has risen su|ierior to the design, ami the Democratic party has gain ed strength in each conflict. Louis iana and Texas are the mast recent instances of the folly, ns well ns the crime of such a nefarious policy. The military outrages in Middle Georgia, and the sweat box prose cutions at Columbus received their fitting commentary at the polls at the last election. And so it will continue to be in Stale after State of the South. The Democratic jmrty wifi grow stronger and stronger with each new demonstration of Military !>ower, so flatly in conflict with the genius of American institutions. The negroes themselves, in whose interest the proceedings were pre tended to he inaugurated, are find ing tint that this sort of interference is most hurtful to their peace, their comfort and their rights, and are daily strengthening the ranks of the Democratic party. In the States of the North, the tendency of this style of military despotism at the South is to excite alarm for the safety of invention.- greater than at any previous exhibition. The surpassing beauty of the grounds, the immense size and admirable ar rangement of the exhibition halls, and the exquisite taste, and clock-like meth od observed in all departments, added materially to the enjoyment of all pres ent. The attendance was very large— reaching from 10,000 to 12,000 on two or three days—and wc did not see, during the whole week, a single in stance of disorder, or intoxication in the vast assemblage. Visitors from the North declared the grounds the most beautiful and commodious in the United States, and Mayor Huff receiv ed praise enough to s|>oil a half a doz en less modest men, for his energy and taste in fitting up the grounds, and ar- ranging, in connection with the Socie ty, the d tads of the Fair. Space will not admit of a notice of many of the interesting features of the exhibition. A conspicuous object of attention was the new Abel loom, which weaves two or three hundred yards of fine woolen goods a day. Ow ing to some slight damage received in moving it from Atlanta, the loom was not in operation, but our old friend S. B. Robson, Esq., Agent, was lucid and eloquent in describing it to the crowds who thronged around it. The one-rail railroad, by an ingen ious Cincinnati machinist, was in op eration, and was propelled around the track at the rate of a mile in three minutes, the power being applied the same as to a velocipede. The inven tor claims that he can build and equip a road, the cars to run by steam, for about 83,000 a mile, and can carry freight and passengers with safety and dispntch. A corn shucking machine exhibited by Col. Waltermire of Rome, was an object of much interest, and performed admirably. A stationary engine with the power applied to a sort of turbine wheel, was regarded as a valuable improvement The trial of ten or twelve different cotton gins, and a number of presses, was very interesting. The display of plows was not as large as heretofore, but embraced several new and highly approved models. Those exhibited by Mr. Glenn of Clark coun ty were much admired. Air. Veronee’s Bathing Chair was examined by physicians with universal commendation, and was awarded medal. Dr. Hudgiu made a fine display of bobbins, for factories, and was award ed a premium. The display of blooded horses was unusually large; but it was regretted that few neat cattle were entered. Air. Summers of Wnrtrace, Tenn., ex hihited a fine lot of Berkshire pigs also sheep and cashmere goats. The display of fruits and fruit trees was quite large, and many rare exotics graced the department of Horticul ture. The Demurest Woodruff Co., Me. Bride & Smith, of Atlanta, A. B. Lan des of Alontjoy Penn.,C. S. Howcro- ton of Nashville, J. A. DeLoache, and Collins & Little, of Afacou, and other.-, made a grand display of car riages, buggies and plantation wagons. The display in Floral Hall was su peril. Among the paintings were a num ber of beautiful views in Nocoochee valley, in oil, by G. H. Mills. A pleasant feature of the Fair, to gentlemen of the press, wax the “ Edi tor’s Home,” n neat cottage, arranged with special reference to the conven ieneo and Me of the Press Gang. Alayor Huff seemed uliiquitious, with a pleasant word for everyiiody. The presentation of a superb fruit stand, to Alayor II. by the members of the press present, constituted a pleas ant little event on Friday. It was presented by Col. Styles, in a felicit ous .-iieecli, and handsomely responded to by Alayor Huff, who introduced Col. Tom. Hardeman, when that gen tleman- responded in one of his inimi table off-hand efforts.

Dep’t State of Ga., ) _ - 1. j Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 23, 1871 To my Political Friend* and the People of Georgia: 1 have this day received information, the truth of which 1 cannot doubt, that the political conspirators who seek the overthrow, not only ot reconstructed govemmont of Georgia but of the Uni ted States, have secured the pledges <>f a sufficient number of the incoming members of the Lower House of the General Assembly to vote without pre vious investigation for Articles of Im peachment against me immediately af ter they have assembled and organized on Wednesday, the first day of Novem ber next; and that having adopted sueh articles in the House a sufficient number of Republican Senators will lie unseated to ensure conviction ujxm the articles so presented. I also learn that the Judge of the Supreme Court, who is personally and ]xilitically bitterly hostile to me, has informed his friends that this programme has been perfect ed, and that he has been selected to preside over the Senate during the trial; and that the Senator represent ing Gen. Toombs’ district is to lie elec ted President of the Senate and imme diately announce himself as, and claim to be, Governor during the pending impeachment and thereafter for the balance of my unexpired term. Upon this state of facts I have de cided to resign the office of Governor, to take effect before the meeting and qualification of the new members of the new body, and thereby defeat this ne farious scheme of these desperate polit ical conspirators. By this course I shall protect my po litical friends in the Senate from the expulsion that lias been foreordained in order to secure - my impeachment, and, at the same time, save the State from the disasters that would be sure to follow in the wake of success on the part of the unnardoned and unrepent ant Rebel leaders, who, though com paratively few in numbers, move the masses by the irresistabie pressure of sectional hate and social proscription. I have maintained my official posi tion against the assaults of these people upon the course of equal rights and Republican Government just as long ns it is possible for me to be of service, and now, for the purpose of again defeat ing this latest onslaught of these de stroyers, I have resigned this office in to the hands of that noble and un swerving friend of right and justice, the Hon. Benjamin Conley, who, un der the Constitution, by reason of be ing President of the Senate, liecomes Governor during the unexpired part of ray term, or until a successor is electee! by the people. No charge has yet been brought against him, because he has not heretofore been supposed to be an obstacle in the way of the conspira tor’s success. If assaults are no w made upon him the country will understand the purpose for which they are made. The San Domingo Annexation plot is carried on with a high hand. Ac cording to advices from that “ Sister Republic,” the President has given un conditional assurances of speedy annex ation—and a fleet of six armed vessels of the United States army carry in structions to Kick Baez against the world. The instructions which Secretary Robeson has at diflerent times issued to our naval officers in the waters of San Domingo, and which are still in force, are as follows: “ Afford countenance and assistance to the Dominican people against their enemies now on the island and in rev olution against the lawfully constituted government, and use the force at your command to resist any attempt to in vade the Dominican territory by land or sea. “ This government is determined to protect the present Dominican govern ment with all its power. Use your force to give it the most ample protec tion against any patter attempting to interfere with it. If the Haytians at tack the Dominicans with their ships, destroy or capture them. “ While your force is temporarily reduced, use renewed vigiknee to pro tect the interest of President Baez, and conform as far as iiossibleto his wishes. As for myself, being divested of offi cial position, the charges of every char acter which these people are sure to make and proclaim against me can he brought before the courts, and I shall never shrink from any judicial inquiry that is divested of political bias and pre judice. Alay I be pardoned for a word of warning fo the men who fought for the Union ? Six mouths ago in Georgia the mass of the people were acquiescing in the re sults of the war, and were willing to ac cept those results as being finalities, but under the late public teaching of certain old leaders who need not be heed but poiqt to the public and pri vate utterances of those who were fore most in secession and rebellion, and now denounce and ignore the funda mental law—the Constitution of the United States. v Will the country heed and take care, before it is too late to prevent another war with its frightful consequences 7 If my action in this emergency had been postponed until after themeetiug of the incoming body of legislators, the Executive branch nfour State Govern- m--iit w.mM tin.%.* !>!«:. all *»: !•*.* t tiytne conspirators in the Lejrislath e branch, and there would have Deen no check upon the wholesale repeal and destruc tion of all the great measures of reform and progress that we have labored so hard to establish. The free school sys tem would be abolished, the colored citizen denied every right guaranteed to him, and the whole work of inter nal improvement ciriie«l du by north ern capital would lie swept away. The growing spirit of lawlessness and pro scription for opinion’s sake is daily ren dering the property and liveiyff Union men and Republicans more and more unsafe, and I fear the worst consequen ces if the Executive office should be filled by one not only in sympathy with those who urge on and inflame this feeling, but who is moved and actuated by them. With no cne in the Execu tive office to call upon the General Government for protection, its friends and supporters would be handed over ithout mercy to the assaults of their enemies For these reasons I have determined on this step, believing that much which has already been accomplished can be preserved throngh the wise and firm check upon revolutionary measures that will be given by Gov. Conley in control of the Executive branch of the Government, and that thereby the good of the whole people of Georgia ill be promoted; and I shall cheer fully give to Gov.

That the statement in the same letter to the effect that any known por tion of the people of Georgia have re cently denounced or ignored the Con stitution of the United States is utter ly false, and grossly defamatory of the people of this State. 3. That there is a vacancy in the office of Governor iu said State, and that, in the opinion of this General Assembly, President Trammell, of the Sena’i*. «h> is entitled, ex-otfieio :>s 110 i.k-iit u.nL-r the L'oii-riiutiun <>i tiiis State, to exorcise the pswers ol the Executive Department during tiie con tinuance of said vacancy. 4.

Conley, who as a former President of the Senate, is now exercising the powers of the Executive Department, and communicate the third of these resolutions and report what he may an swer thereto. Another Swindling Feature. The Bonds which Gov. Bullock has issued for the Brunswick and Albany Railroad are payable in gold—known as “ Gold Bonds.” Not one word is said aliout gold in the charter or the act granting the additional 88,000 per mile, on second mortgage bonds. • The Legislature, in one of its corrupt aud plundering schemes, afterwards, passed un act that all the bonds issued by the State, from that time fortii, should be payable in Gold. Upon this ex post facto authority, Bullock has is sued Gold Bonds to Mr. Kimball.— We know not what view a court would take of the legality of this proceeding —unless the judge in sueh case shuld be a friend, apologist and extreme political ally of the Governor—in whicli case there could not be much doubt; but to common sense, honest meaning people, there is but one view, whicli is, that the issue or endorsement of Gold bonds for this road is a viola tion of the true spirit of the law and an intentional fraud.—Atlanta Sun. AND ii, GRANDEST FAIR OF THE STATE! To be Held in the City of Savannah, Commencing NOVEMBER TWENTY-FIRST, AND CONTINUING FIVE DAYS. 1 Will be one of tbc Features of the Occasion. m tn m in m mm it ts® mu vm Splendid Exhibition of Stock of all kinds. Magnificent Display of Manufactures. Railroads and Steamboats will carry Passengers and Article for one fare. Every interest will be represented^ from Canada to llorida. Preparations have been made on the Grandest Scale 111 LiU Ci From Atlanta. The Chronicle Sentinel of Oct. 31, contains the following special dispatches from Atlanta: To-nigh* the city is thronged with members of the Legislature, candidates for the various offices in the gift of the General Assembly, and lobbyists. Nearly all the members of the Leg islature are in the city, and only a few counties, in remote jiortions of the State, remain unrepresented. There has lieen a continued discus sion of Bullock’s resignation and flight. The general belief prevails that he will never dare return to the State of Geor gia again. He is evidently going to change his base for good, as his elegant piano and handsome carriage were at the depot to-day for shipment to him. He could not get off with the plunder, for the property was attached and is held here. So the fugitive Governor will have to worry along without music for the present, at any rate. The question of the day is the status of affairs in the Executive Depart ment. A variety of opinions are ex- iressed on Conley’s right to exercise Executive functions after the Senate shall have chosen a President. From what I can learn, however) the Legis lature will adopt the following line of policy: They will allow Conley to re main in the office for the present, but will order an election for Governor, to take place within thirty days after an organization is effected. The organization of the General As sembly has not yet been completed by caucus. A meeting of the members of the House was to have been held hist night, for the purjiose of making nom inations of officers, liut on account of the absence of some of the members, it was postponed until this morning at nine o’clock. Major J. B. Gumming is here, and has made a very favorable impression. His friends are working vigorously, and seem confident that he will get the nomination. Hon. J. Al. Smith, of Columbus, is a strong candidate for the Speakership, and has many friends here. The re sult of the contest is very doubtful. Col. J. D. Waddell seems to have the inside track for the place of Clerk of the House. L. Carrington has with drawn in his favor.’ The organization of the Senate lias been settled. Judge W. 51. Reese au thorized his friends to state that he was not a candidate for the Presidency. The friends of Judge John T. Clarke are actively pressing his claims for the United States Senator ship. The claims of the different candidates for this office will lie submitted to a party caucus, in order to secure harmony of action, aud there will lie a general ac- quiscence in the result. 3 Kimball’s nroperty here, consisting of various odd? and ends, have been levied on for debt. The Sun says the Democratic Sena tors have unanimously made the fol lowing nominations for officers of that body : For .pcrmanrnt'Prefi lent—L. N. Trammell. For President pro tem—B. B. Hin ton. For Secretary of the Senate—T. W. J. Hill For Door Keeper—G. Whit Ander son. For Alessenger—A. J. Cameron, From the proceedings of yesterday we learn that the above gentlemen were elected. In the House, J. 51. Smith, of Mus cogee was elected Speaker, and J. D. Waddell, Clerk. Mormon Troubles. Salt Lake, October 28.—Trouble is apprehended when Hawkins’ sent ence is delivered. The women seem most excited, and Federal officials have received threatening letters. Brigham Yount; has left the city. Evidently something important is pending, but the Gentiles generally don’t apprehend resistance to the law. The Herald special from Salt Lake City, of the 27th, says it is stated in official circles that Brigham Young is 120 miles south of this city, with his course still onward. It is not known to what point he is bound. Some think lie will leave the country; others that he will find a refuge in St. George, 300 miles from here. It is certainly doubtful whether he will appear for trial, and whether the head of the church will be seen agniu here until the trouble Ls over. *&t*gt*a*% Geo** QFFERS FOR SALE For Fall Crops of Grain and Grasses, ALSO for Fruit Trees, Flowers and Turnips, SUPERPHOSPHATE , of the best grades, for all crops and for com|iosting, Bone Meal and Bone Grits, for poultry and cattle food.

The State Democratic Executive Committee assembled in Macon last week, and had a full and free con sultation. The following resolutions were adopted : Resolved, That the fruits of the vic tory achieved at the December election cannot be secured without thorough organization. We reiterate the opin ion previously expressed by this com mittee that men of character and abil ity should be nominated for office, and it should be regarded as a patriotic duty to support and elect them, though individual preferences have to be aban doned. Resolved That the people of Geor gia and this committee have an abid ing confidence that the Democratic Legislature, soon to assemble, will be guided by “ Wisdom, Justice and Moderation that its action will be discrete, its enactments just, and its administration honest and economical. Resolved, Thathe tcommittee believe the reports of the existence of Ku-klux or other secret political organizations in this State, which have induced Con gress to take action on that subject, are wholly unfounded. That there have been acts of lawlessness and violence cannot be denied, but they have not been instigated by any partisau motive or feeling. The ill-advised use of the pardoning power, by whicli notorious criminals have been relieved from the punishment due to their crimes, has in some instances, excited persons to acts of violence which would not have oth erwise occurred, and which we unhes itatingly condemn and disapprove. Heavy Robbery.—On Friday night, as the venerable Dr. 5Ieans, of Savannah, was entering the car he was robbed of his gold watch and pocket book containing eleven hundred dollars. The watch was presented by the stu dents of Emory College to Dr. 5Ieans, on the occasion of his retiring from the presidency of the college, and was highly prized liy him. He advertises in this l«sue, promising that if the thief will return the watch to certain parties mentioned, lie will leave him with the pocket book and his conscience. An other instance of the folly of carry in; valuables about one’s person on such occasions ns the fair lias been. We sympathize with the Doctor, and hope he may yet recover the memento so highly prized by himself. The watch has on it the inscription, “Presented to A. 5Icans, D.
