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. STATE NEWS. 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 stieet. 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 has tl e largest orchard io . liis section. We 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. Jndgc R. V. Hardeman, of Jones coun ty, an aged and much esteemed citizen, a gentleman of much legal ability, when able to administer the laws, and cf unquestion ed reracity and integrity, died , on 'Friday morning, 19th ult. He was a man of high standing in his profession, and for years Judge of the Superior Court of Milledge- ville Circuit. Uc was about seventy years of age, and had been in had health for the {last twelre years. The Thomasvillc Enterprise of Wednes day says : We learn through the able Secretary of the Thomas county Agricultural Associa tion that at tho last meeting of the Asso ciation, which was on the seeond Thursday in this month, careful estimates were made and comparison instituted which proved that in Thomas connty the cotton area planted this year has been reduced 21 per cent over last year, while an inerease of 35 per eent is shown in the area nf ce reals.

Gordon, in a card to tho Atlanta Constitution soys : Nashville, Tenn., May 30,1871. Ed. Constitution—My attention has. 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. T. B. Gordon. Wc transfer the following from the local column of the Constitution : The Colored Missionary Baptist Conven tion, we learn, has raised over §1,000 to wards purchasing tho land at Midway, for a site for a Theological Institute. Rev, Wilkes Flag, the chairman of the commit tee, is unflagging in his efforts. The corner stone of the Friendship (col ored) Baptist Church, at the corner of Mitchell and naynes street, was laid yes terday. A large congregation was in at tendance. Rev. Simpson, of Savannah, preached the sermon. Themembcrs of the church paid 8500, we learn, for the lot.— The building will cost several thousand dol lars. Whitehall street, from Dodd’s corner to the corporation, is being rapidly transform ed by the hand of progress and improve ment, New and palatial residences and co zy cottages are being built on both sides.— The street is being uraded and tho hollows filled up. This is the direct route to West End, and we thiuk should be graded still more aud put in first class condition. 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. ALABAMA NEWS. The Montgomery Adveit'scr says t 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. The Judge suggested that on order JVm might do as well, and the District Attorney askcsicd ti) iLe priip<>.«tii!tt.

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. These pleasant evenings have inaugura ted out-of-door “sparking,” and the less traveled thoroughfares present a decidedly lovcr-like appearance. The gait induIgflH in by these aspirants to conjugal felicity would shame a tortoise and make a snail die of envy and old age.

The Rev. Asa Ballard has been gathering sta tistics to refute this proverb. Massachu setts and Connecticut furnished the field. In448 ministers’ and deacons’ families there were 2,101 ehildrcn over fifteen yesrs of age. of whom 1,414 were hopeful ly pios, 92 were io the ministry, or fittine for it, and only 34 disipated. And all the remaining children, with very few excep tions, were respeetable and useful citizens. Mr. Bullard challenges a comparison with these figures on the part of any other class or profession among parents. One of the most costly and magnificent —probably much the largest—photograph- ie portrait lens ever made is one produced for Mr. Mayait, tho celebrated English photographer. It is an achromatic lens, ten and one-half inches in diameter, and will take portraita'of any size, from the smallest miniatnre up lo very nearly the full life statute. It is made of glass of the whitestmnd purest description, and i’s size admits so large a volume of light that pho tographs covering a space of ten inches by twelve inches may be done in eight sec onds. In the. open air groups of-fifteen to twelve persons—each face about the size of an English sovereign and the whole picture two-feet long and two feet wide—can be taken with an exposure of ten seconds.

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.

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.” On Tuesday last a little son of Charles Fisher, about two years of age, wts out playing with some boys near bis father’s residence, same six miles north of this place.
