TI1E STATE AGRICULTUlt VI, CON-
VENTIOJi-
The following letter from lion. David
W. Lewis, the efficient Secretary of the
State Agricultural Society, to Gen. Geo.S.
Black, fixing the time of holding the ap
proaching annual Convention, will be read
with interest.
The suggestions made relative to the ac
commodation and entertainment of the la
dies, is an opportune and just one, and we
are glad that this gallaut feature will be in
augurated iu our first Convention. It will
bo an epoch in the history of the Society
we are proud to have the name of our
city associated with.
The liberality of the President of the
Western & Atlantic Railroad is character
istic and appropriate.
Wc hope that our people will begin at
once the good work of preparation for the
reception of the Convention.
Gen. Black has our earnest co-operation
iu the matter :
State Agricultural Office, )
Macon, Ga., May 24, 1871. j
General—Our special committee to re
vise the premium li3t of our Society’s nest
tair, closed its successful scssiou on Satur
day last. It is now going rapiJly to the
press, and in a few days it will be sent to
the county agricultural societies and the
press generally.
Gen. Colquit, our President, and the
chairman of this committee, made use of
the occasion of its sitting, to consult the
committee as to the time of the meeting of
the fall convention of the Society—the
place (Rome) having been already fixed by
the February convention.
It was unanimously agreed tl at the con
vention should assembh iu Romo, on the
8th day of August, at II o’clock. The
General has instructed me so to inform
you, that you aud your public spirited fel
low citizens may have ample time to make
all the arrangements you desire.
lie informed thutiniTtr""' that he had
a letter from you giving fall assurance that
your people were willing, and "ould when
tho time came, be ready and waiting, all of
which, however, none of us had any doubt.
He also instructed me to call attention to
another matter that : s barely accessary to
mention to such noble Romans as you and
Newton.
There has never been any provision tnado
for the presence ofladies in our convention
as auditors of oar deliberations, and as or
naments of our occasion and scene as full
of interest to them as to the delegates, the
actors themselves.
The General decides, and I know you
will with him, that it must be so no longer;
that aid aud couti ibutions to our industrial
exhibitions so valuable as tho women of
Georgia have always been, should not be
forgotten, especially when we are in com
mon council on tho very matters and inter
ests in which their co operation has been
so equad and useful. But it is useless to
multiply words on this subject. The order
has come from our commander-in-chief, aud
all his aids will see to its execution. Don’t
let Dr. Ed. kill himself.
I had some fear that the passing all our
some three or four hundred delegates over
the State Road and Romo Branch, made
necessary by holding the meeting at Rome
would create some difficulty cr objectiou on
the part of tho roads. The meetings have
all heretofore been in Atlanta or Macon,
distributed as near equally as possible this
valued service ot carrying tho delegates
both ways free, among all the roads.
But when I called on the Western & At
lantic this morning I fonnd the President
equal to the heavy draft upon his rolling
stock and liberality. He agreed farther
that he would carry, in a special train, all
delegates who reached Atlanta on Monday
morning by 11 o’clock, in lime For an open
ing session ol the convention at. that hour.
Now I think you will ngre-t with me that
the President ami his committee have
thrown the onus—the responsibility for con
sequences, upon the Romans, couutrymcn.
lovers and:the people generally at your e ad
ol .the road. .1 think an avalanche of del
egates will be down upon you at the day
and hour. To be warned, is to be armed.
I shall issue a card of notice iu a day or
two to the delegates ol those arrangements,
an important feature of the same notice will
be that the same delegates that were elect
ed to the February Convention will be the
delegate* to this, except where vacancies
have occurred, or where county ocietics
failed to elect delegates to the February
convention. Another important feature to
remember is. that the standing committees
of the February convention must report at
this August convention.
Please let me here from you soon that
you are moving, that you are preparing,
that ’,ou are ready. Fend me a copy of
the action or proceedings of any public
meeting on the subject.
Yours truly,
David W. Lewis.
To Gen. Geo. S. Black, Rome 1 Ga.

Savannah —Mr. E. O. Worthiugtou,
representative of the Savannah e-aft in the
International convention of the Typograph
ical Union, which assembles in Baltimore
next Monday, left the city on the Steamer
Virgo, eu route for Baltimore the 31st.
The Savannah Advertiser tells where all
the money is. It says—
“Wc hear irequent complaints of the scar
city of money, coupled with an anxious
enquiry, where can it all he. A recent
cable dispatch says that, the Bank of Eng
land has on deposit twenty-four million five
hundred thousand pounds sterling, while in
this country, the banks of New York city
alone, hold in their vaults fifteen millions
of gold and sixty five millions of legal ten
ders. Tho United States Treasury holds
n’ncty-foar millions of dollars in gold. This,
then, is where all the money is. What can
the burglars be about? ’
The Sun paper complains of the ncgli-
ence in citizens leaving their doors and
windows open at night, as a d.mgerous
temptation to thieves and burglars.
The careless driving of a Cabman result
ed in serious injury to a little colored girl,
whom lie run over as she was crossing the

W r m. Nephew King, M. D., sensibly pro
tests against the “upturning of tho earth
now in progress, on a scale nmr before
seen in the city of Savannah—in the south
ern portion —for the purpose of laying sew
ers.
The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel tells
how dogs ought not to be killed, aud sensi
bly hopes that the practice of shootiug
them down iu the streets to the danger and
annoyance of persons, will be discontiucd.
The same paper gives the following river
news:
“The Savannah river is still rising. The
Btream measured nine feet and eight inches
at the toll bridge yesterday eveuing, at
three o’clock. As rainy weather still con
tinues to prevail in the counties above here,
we may experience a spring freshet before
the wcatacr bscomes settled.
“There were no arriva's or departures of
steamers on yesterday up to the date of
our report.
The repairs on tho city bridge, which
have been in progress for many months,
seem to he approaching a completion. The
workmen are now employed at the gateway,
on the southern extremity ol the srructurc.”
The Columbus Sun gives tho following
sad accouut of the sudden death of Mr.
W’tn. M. Jcpsen of that city :
Mr. W’ui. M. Jepsoo died very suddenly,
at his residence yesterday morning at six
o’clock He had I cen called to breakfast
by his sister, had on his pants, and was
sitting in a chair tieing his shoe, when he
fell dead on the floor.
Drs. Terry and Chaffin were called, but
too late. For sometime he had been in
delicate health. He was on the streets the
day before. His wife died a year ago. He
was the twin brother of Mr. Frank Jep-
sou, aud in the GOth year ol his age. By
trade he was a brick maker, and owned
quite an extensive yard He came to Cc-
lembus in 1828, and resided here ever
since. Tho family, then a nuuteous one,
has dwindled to two brothers and a sister.
He was a consistent member of St. Luke’s
M. E. Church.
The same paper calls on ’he pol'cc to ar
rest disorderly and drunken persons who
ant oy people opou the streets.
It also reports the following peach item 1
Mr. John King, the bauker, shipped a
lot of peaches to New York on Tuesday.—
nc has an orchard of 5,000 trees. Major
Moses shipped a quantity yesterday. Ho

are glad to notice that, the attention of
Southern men is being turned to such in
dustries. The example will he universally
followed after a while, as soon as the far
mer can be educated to cultivate something
else besides cotton.
It also notices the following “catting
scrape” :
Last night about ten o’clock, John
Blocdworth cut his brother-in-law, Van
Cook, very severely in the arm. Blood-
worth was abusing his wife when Cook in
terfered. Happened on Oglethorpe street,
next to the Steam Cotton Mills.

The Thomasvillc Enterprise of Wednes

We learn through the able Secretary of

tion that at tho last meeting of the Asso
ciation, which was on the seeond Thursday

that in Thomas connty the cotton area

just been called to a paragraph in the Con
stitution of a few days ago, copied from
one of the Memphis papers, which makes
me say, in a recent speech in Memphis thal
I had nothing bnt “praise and veneration
for the brave men who subdued the South”
or words to that effect)
I used no such language, and would not
burden your columns with this correction,
did this paragraph not place me in the rid
iculous position of glorying over tho sub
jugation of my people
I did draw a distinction between the sol
diers of the Federal army, who fought from
convictions of duty and patriotism, and
the men who shrunk from danger during
the war and now seek to destroy the self
respect and character of Southern youth
by teaching them in school Looks that they
are descendants of rebels and traitors to
the Constitution of the country.
I said that I could, aud did - res; cct the
man who enlisted against us, because he be
lieved it was his duty, and who was ready
to hack his convictions by the surrender of
his life; and that it was not so much to sol
diers as to those who had never known ser
vice, that we are iuuehted for tbc wrongs
which had goaded the people of the South
to desperation.

The Colored Missionary Baptist Conven

Judge Erskiuc yesterday decided in the
United States District Court, in the matter
Rondeau & Co., application for exemption
of partnership property, that the exemption
should be allowed. The bankrupt law pro
vides that the exemption in force on the
1st of January, 1864, shall he allowed.—
The State law at that time exempted §500
worth of property. Messrs. Rondeau &
Co. applied to register Black to havo tho
amount exempted set apart from partner
ship property. This Register Black refused
to grant, aud Judge Erskino granted.
Yesterday evening a few minutes after
the Georgia Bailroad passenger train had
left, and just as the West Point cars were
being carried off to their yard, a gentleman
came in at the upper cud of the depot, car-
petsack in hand. Spying the moving train
ho doublcquicked to reach it. Dexter was
distanced, and when it was opposite the low
or end of Landsberg lumber yard, lie got on
the platform of the rear car. A radiant
smile of joy lit np his face, and he went on
until the cars were switched off at the West
Point depot. “Phancy his feclinks.”
An incident happeued iu this city on
Tuesday which proved that the days of ro
mance have not coded; that “while the
course of true love” may “not run smooth”
yet “love laughs at bolts aud bars,” and
will in the cud triumph.
Jamet, a youth of tome seventeen win
ters, and who resides in the flourishing vil
lage of Stone Mountain, had met the fair
Agnes, over whose alabaster hrow and rosy
checks eighteen summers had prssed, and
whispered in her cars tho seductive tale
of love. Cupid transfixed both their hearts
with his dart. But parental hearts thought
they “were too young to n arry yet” and
censcquently, the fair and weepmg Agnes
was sent to the Convent in this city, where
it was thought seclusion might effect a cure.
But, alas 1 James found that he could
not live without her, aud Agnes pined and
drooped for want of the cheering presence
of James. Perhaps it was guess work, but
true it was that on Tuesday, somehow or
somehow else, Agnes left the Convent with
her James and “thoy twain were made one
flesh” soon after.
They left that night for Stone Mountain,
where they are spending their honeymoon.
When the roseate tints that now gild their
pathway faint away, and the stern realities
of iifestare them in tho face, may they ex
ert all the strength of their manhood and
womanhood and prove their nnion is one
blessed by the smiles of Providence.

In the United States District Court yes
terday morning, District Attorney Minnie
ca’led the attention of Judge Busteed to
an editorial in a late issue of the Selma
Times, edited and published by Majs. S. J.
Saffold. The article, in the opinion of the
District Attorney, contained some hard
things about the late United States Grand
Jury, and particularly abont one Perkins,
who was Foreman of the body. He asked
that a bench warrant be issued for the ar
rest ot Saffold.
Judge Busteed required of the District
Attorney if he proceeded upon the ground
that the article was a contempt of Court—
The District Attorney replied that he
thought it was, and also a libel on tho
Grand Jury, and that upon the lost ground
he asked for a bench warrant returnable at
the next term.

A gentleman living-in the southwestern
par lion of this county informed us on yes
terday that the hardest rain foil in that por
tion of the county that has been known for
years. The rain lasted only abojt one
hour and a half, but came in torrents. Our
informant states that the plantations bor
dering on Bear creek, for mile \ were over
flowed, and gives the lollowing as an evi
dence of the rapidity with which the water
rose: A negre hitched a mule a short dis
tance fiem the bank nf the creek a little
while before the rain commenced, and after
the rain, weLt to bring him home, and
found the water more than six feet deep
where the mule was hitched. The mule
was cf course drowned. The crops on the
overflowed lands were totally destroyed, and
nothing will be made on these lands this
year.

A matron of Montargris, in Fiance, re
cently put a summary end to an attempt
made by four citizens of that town—one nf
them being her husband—to establish the
Commune. These four, flourishing their
Chasscpots, planted the red flag before the
City Hall and proclaimed the indepen
dence of the village. Before any active
steps could be taken to suppress them by
the authorities the matron mentioned stalk
ed up to her warrior husband, took bis gun
from his hand and threw it away, hauled
down the .flag, and finally marched her
husband off by the car. This prompt ac
tion caused the others to disperse, and (he
revolution was effectually suppressed.

[Corrc-] npileace of the Near York Tribane.j
Columbia, 8. O., May'25.'
Jeff-rsiib Davis arrived here on Tues
day on business connected with the life
insnr-j'K-d c mtptii-.y ■of which he is presi-
. t .«a<.ti,;n«4aced to him yesterday |
n ,;.»•}i-i’s o.iio;, where ha was hoMtug;
at; infiirn::;! rttcviitionj and had a i,.
hour’s Ct-nvi-isa’i :i . Mr Davis b.t;
liitle rasei’fftlanr'e to !Ik>’ pictures with
which vveryondv was i..miliar during the
war, nil he u.i-iit walk the streets of any
Northern eiiy without a chance of bciti
known b j people who have seen only his
photograph'.' In onto ring the bail
cf the lawyer's office I found seated con
spicuously in the midst of some d; z n per.
sons a qiiiet-lot-kiug .’eutleiacti of medium,
(tight, with gray hairs, thin gray heard
and moustache, light blue eyes, slightly
aquiline nose, rath -r sallow and, sunken
cheeks, and a high, wrinkled forehead,
dressed with scrupulous neatness in a sail
of somewhat worn black cl atlies. This was
the guiding spirit of the great Rebellion.
Nothing in his appearance indicated re-
maikahlo ability or ;gchins. WhcD 1 was
presented by an cx-Corifcdcrate Genera],
ho ait-se and greeted me with a pleasant,
cordial manner, continuing at first a con
versation already began upon cotton plant
ing. Afterwards he spoke of tho impri
sonment rf the Tribune's correspondents
in Washington, saying that he remembered
a similar incidont when he was in the
Senate. A reporter named Nugent, was
taken into custody fur refusing to tell
where be got some information relating to
doings in Executive sessiou. and a thorough
search was made to see i’ there was rot
some place about the chamber where he
could have concealed himself; bat no dis
covery was made except a large black cat
which was found about the ceiling. Nugent
was released after a few days, a Senator
having acknowledged that he bad given the
information, and thought there was no
harm in it.
Mr. Drvis carefully avoided politics
during the conversation, saying that he
did not desire that publicity should be
given to his opinions on political subjects.
There was some talk about the present
condition of the negroes, and he expressed
an opinion, which appears to be generally
entertained by thonghtful and observant
Southern men. that the black race in the
United States is diminishing in numbers
and will ultimately disajpear. He said
that the negroes did not give proper care
to their young children and to their sick,
and now that the whites had no interest
in caring for them they were dying rapidly.
He thought that ultimate extinction was
the inevitable fate of the race. I asked if
he thought there was any tendeucy amen;
the negroes of the more Northern of the.
former slave States to emigrate to the
Gulf States. Ho did not believe there
was. A number of negroes had been
brought iuto Mississippi from North Cato
liua and other States, by the agents of
targe planters, hot the movement did not
originate with the blacks. Those who
would he bebefitted by emigration were too
ignorant and too poor to move, and the
more intelligent where doing well where
they were, anti had no object to leave
their homes. Mr. Davis told of one of his
former slaves, a man “as black as the acc
of spales,” who had bought two planta
tions in Mississippi, ono of Mr. Davis aud
one of his brother, from' which lie bad
sold 2,100 bales of cot on last year. He
wrote a good hand, kept accounts well
and had his agents in Sr. Louis, who did
not suspect they were dealing with a black
man. Such instances of bnsincss talent
among the negroes Mr. Davis thought
were very rare. As a rale they had shown
no ability to accumulate property.
Mr. Davis spoke in a deliberate way,
and in a low and pleasing tone of voice,
instead of that of a self-reliant man who
had played a prominent part in history.
Instead of looking into the face if his
listeners .be. looked downward in a half-
diffident way, like one who has cultivated
a h-'bit of seeking to escape observation,
and as be spoke he frequently spread - is
hands oat and tappe 1 the ends of his fin
gers together. The general impression he
made was that of a man who bad expe
rienced great trials and misfortunes, and
has lost all ambition for the future. The
conversation was marly upon common
place subjects, and was constantly inter
rupted by the arrival and introduction of
new comers and the departure of men who-
bad only remained a few minutes The
manner of the people present towards him
was one of great respect mingled with af
fectionate regard. Ouc old gentleman ad
dressed him as “31r. President” and said
“You are still my President and always
will be.” Mr. Davis smiled in a half
melancholy way, bnt made no reply.
Another, in taking leave, said he had a
numerous family of rebels who would call
and pay their respects in tho evening, at
which Mr. Davis made some humorous re
ference to the numerous family of Rogers.
All tho callers appeared to carefully avoid
all reference to the war, perhaps on ac
count of the presence of a Northerner'
whom they preferred not to have for a lis
tener.
In tho evening the “ ox-President,” as
he is usually designated, held a reception
at General Preston’s honse, one of the
few mansions of the old first families ot
the State that the soldiers of Sherman
spared in their march through. A stream
of people came and and went for an hoar
and a half. Mach the greater number
were ladiis, whoso warm greetings told how
dear the fallen chief of the lost cause still
is to them. I am told that with the men
here he is hot so popular, the great family
of the Rfietts, with a numerous following,
having created a coldness toward him by-
charging the failore of the Confederacy to
his stnbborncss and incouipetcncy. While
Mr. Davis received his guests with affa
bility, his face was by no means insignifi
cant. He had a high, broad forehead, and
the general expression of his countenance
was that of a man of study, culture aid
experience; hot hit face was not that
which a physiognomist would select as one
belonging to a-leader in any great enter
prise. At .one time during the reception
a throng of pretty children dressedin white
came up the steps, and Mr. Davis came out
of the gloomy parlor upon the broad piazza
and greeted the Iitltlc ones affectionately,
giving a kind word to each, and taking
the smallest in his arms to kiss.
The Southern Hallies- '/J i,
A correspondent of the New Yoik Tri

iddnt; DivLi.iii Colombia, t : . 0 , pay* this
high compliment to the Southern ladies:

maiued standiog until he was seated, when
they gave him a long round of applanse,

Tue Cause—Hon.David P. Caldwell,
of North Carolina, recently made the follow
ing emphatic utterances to a Northern,
newspaper correspondent:
I am confluent that Grant’s proclamation
was issued and troops sent to be marched
aud countermarched throughout this and
other Southern States ’or no other purpose
than to aid the Radicals in carrying tl...
next Presidential election by intimidation
fraud and raising a false clamor against the
South, and ikiis p.-rj-etuatc their powei un
til they ultimately succeed in establishing a
consolidated despotism or oligarchy.
You are of opinion, then, that the En
forcement hi 1 aud the ka klux law lave
for their object the success of the Radical
party iu the next .Presidential campaign?
I thiuk I may safely, said Mr. Caldwell,
with peculiar emphasis, as I know I can
conscientiously answer yonr inquiry in the
affirmative The hne and cry raised and
kept np against tie Ku-Klux was and still
is, intended for Buncombe; that is, to gnll
the unsuspecting and credulous portion of
the huue-t masses. But this has become
the keystone in the R.-dicai arch nr party.
Take away the Ku-Klux; then theii case
has uoplausable pretext to pass such out-
rageou-ly unconstitutional bills as the late
Ku-Klux act—no pretext for marching
troops through the subjngatcd States. In
other words, give ns peace, and that day
the Radical parly tumbles instantly to the
ground, never to rise again. It lives by
strife and violence and perpetuates itself in
the South alono by such means. And it
would be infinitely tetter for tho Southern
States that an honest and able monarchy
should be at once estabii bed than that the
Radical party, with all its odious antece
dents and violence, should continue to.
rrign ani dominate over us in the arbitra
ry and cruel manner they have'done since
the surrender.
If the troops were withdrawn and honest
men placed in control of tbc local and na
tional offices would the good and true men,
as is Geo. Sherman's opinion, put a stop so
midnight outrages by tin Ku Klux?
No sane man who is at all acquainted
with the habits and custom* or antecc
dents of onr people can entertain a shadow
ofadonbtnpon this subject. Our people
are. and ever have been, a law abiding peo
ple, and It was only when we had no bw, or
when the laws of the State were perverted
to propagate and encourage a spirit of law
lessness, that any one was punished in any
other way lhaD the law directs, and that
after due conviction and by a jury of bis
countrymen.”
