Th« f so many distinguished guesti from ( very section of the United States, and the dtscivi clly high character of the Associa tion will, we doubt ik<.\ secure tho success ol this annual Fair beyond peradventure. The Cnthbcrt Appeal of Thursday says: ) are called upon to chronicle an occurrence strange as it is unaccountable nnd extraordi nary. From the mouth of many credible wit- nt vo, among them several of our most re s j a ctable citizens, w e learn that at about th hour ot 1 r. m. yesterday, the 6th inst. the community whs startled by a terrific ex plosion in a direction apparently north-wes from this, accompanied by a dense volume of -moke. One gentleman compared the report to the simultaneous discharge of a park of ar- teih ry. anil distinctly saw tho column oi smoke which rose in t le quarter from which the sound proceeded. The explosion was heard by two thirds of our citizens, and some assert that the shock ot an earthquake was plainly felt. Addison, an intelligent colored man in the employment ot Mr. Wm. H. Brooks, says he was at Beall’s mill when tho event oc curred, aud, in company with a white man, saw w hat resembled a sheet of flatne descend from the heavens towards Lumpkin, north west ofCuthbert, and heard at the same mo ment a terrific explosion. The Newnan Herald of Friday says: Ou Monday last a difficulty took placo on the plantation of our friend Jam. 1*. A.-»keiv, iu this couuty, which resulted in tho serious wound ing ol two ot the party engaged in it—a Mr. N. S. Gosa and his son. It appears that th» Messrs.

Askew stepped in between to prevent him, wh Gosa advanced on him with hie stick dra in the attitude of striking. B. S.

This warni he repeated two or three times, which was disregard' d by Gosa, when young Askew d< live red two shots from his pistol hitting hi antagonist both times -one shot taking effect in the temple aud the other in the neighbor hood of tho groin ; both, however, flesh wounds and not necessarily dangerous -though serious.

If the President or tho members of his Cab iuet and other leading and influential gentle men of the Radical party will visit tho fair, we aro quite sure that no offensive or unkind words will bo uttered against them.

Fjw th^committeo to refuse one train because it waX tendered by Governor Bullock and accept Another because it tendered by tho Con trah Rail road, would be a wry partizau and invidious proceeding; and when the guests by each train arrived, they would iuterminglo at ouce.

Repuj>k Bay, Juue20, 1809. lab Sir: This day 1 have returned Iron ,lg.* jourii* y ol ninety days to anil Iron King William’s Land. It was my purpose and every preparation was made, to make the ■y fust season; but my attention then having Is on railed to Mellvillo Peninsula, in the vicinity of Fury and llecla Straits, where native report hsd it thst white men had been soon, 1 directed my expedition (hero by way of Auii-toke, Oog-lit-isle, Ig-loo-lik, with the Ardent hope and expectation ot rescuing alive of Kir John Franklin's last companions. The result of this journey was the finning of * tenting place ot a few men and a stone pillar they had erected close by it at tho bottom ot Party Bay, which is some titty miles south of the western outlet of Fury and llecla .Straits, and tho visiting of several places where white men and their traces bad been soon by natives of Ig-loo-lik and vicinity about the years 1860 7 I also gained much information from tho na tive* of Ig-loo-lik. North Oog-lit-tsb*. and there abouts that confirmed the report I heard in the winter of 1867 8, which I have nlroady stated. And still further proofs of this rimort have been obtained on my late visit to King William's Laud. My sledge journey to the Straits of Fury andHodn, and thcnco down to Party Bay and back to Itepulso Bay by tbu routo already defined, consumed ninety-six davs. The result of my sledge jouruuy to King William's Lend way b.» Hummed op thus:— None of Sir John Franklin's companion* ever dragging two sledge* on the seo^M, which WM nearly in its last stage* of dissolution— one, a large aledae laden with an awning-cov ered boat, aud the other, a small one, laden with provisions and oamp material. Just be fore Oroxier and party arrived at Gape Hera- obel they were inut by four faratlios of natiTes, and both parties went into owinp near each other. Two Esquiwmyfc picu, who were of tho native party, gave mo much sad, but In teresting information. Home of it atirred my heart with sadne**, intermingled with rage; for it wus a confessiou that they, with their compunious did secretly aud hastily abandon Cioaior and hia party to suffer aud die for need of fresh provisions, when, in truth, it was in tho power of the natives to save every man alive. The uext trace of Crozier and his party is to he found in tho skeletou which McOIlntook discovered a little below, to the southward nnd eastward of Capo Horschal. This wus uevor found by the notivoo. Tho uext trace is a camping place on tho sos-shore of King William's Land, about three wiles eastward of Piefler river, where two men died mid received Christian burial. At this place fish hones were found by the natives, which showed them that Greater and Ids party had caught while thoro n t*pcoies of fish excellent for food, with which the sea thoro uboundH. The uext trace of tho party occurs some llvo or six miles cast wind, on a long, low point of King William’s Land, where ouo man died and was buried. Then 8. H. E two und a half miles further, tho uext trace occurs at I'odd's Islet, where the remains of live men lie. The next certain trace of this party is on the west side ol tho iubt west of Point Rich ard.on, en some low land that is an island or part ot the main laud, ns the tide may be. Here the awning covered boat and the re mains of about thirty or thirty-five of Oro- zitv’s party were found by the native Poo-yet- tu, of whom Sir John Ross has given a de scription in the account of his voyago iu tho Victory, 1829 -34. Iu tlio spring of 1819, a largo tent wus found by some ol tlio natives who 1 saw, tho floor of which was completely covered with the ro- mains of white men. Close by wore two graves. This tent was a little way inland Iroui the head of Terror Buy. In the spring of 1861, when tho snow nearly all gone, an Esquimaux party, ducted by a native well known throughout tho northern regions, found two boats, with many skeletons in and about thorn. Ouo of these boats had been previously found by MeCliu- tock; the other was found lying from quurter to oue-holf luilo distant, and must havo been completely entombed iu snow at the tirno tho McCliutock parties were there, or they most assuredly would have seen it.— In and about this boat, besides the many skeletons alluded to, wero found many relics, most of them similar in character to those McCliutock has enumerated as having been found in the boat he discovered. The native who conducted this native party in its search over King William’s Laud, is the same indi vidual who gave Dr. Rae the find information about white men having died to the westward of wheio ho (Dr. Rue) then was, (Pelly Bay,) iu tho Bpring of 1854. His mime is Iunook poo-zho-jook, aud ho is a native of Neitchille, a very great traveler, and very intelligent.— He is, in fact, a walking history of tho fate of Sir John Franklin’s expedition. This native I met when within one day’s sledge journey of King William’s Land—off Point Dryden— and alter stopping u fow days among his peo ple, he accompanied mo to tho places I visited on and about King William's Laud. The same year that the Erebus and Terror were abondoued one of them consummated the Great Northwest Passage, having five aboard. The evidence of the exact number is circumstantial. Everything about this North west Passage ship of Sir John Frauklin's ex pedition was iu completo order ; four boat* were bunging high up at the ship's sides, and one was on tho quarter deck ; the vessel wai iu its winter housing of sail or tent cloth.- This vessel was lound by tho Ook-joo-lik nn tives near O’Reilly Island, lat G8 deg. 30 min North, long. 99 deg. 8 ruin. West early in the spring of 18-19, it being frozen in, in the midst ot a smooth and unbroken flow of ice of only one winter’s formation. From certain evidence I have guiued both at Ig-loo-lik und King Wil liam’s Land, thoro must have been a dog of tho greyhound species belonging to oueortho other of tho two ships. 1 only know this through nutivo testimony. It is quite likely that soino one in England can tell whether there was i\ dog on board either of tho ships when Sir John Franklin left in 1845 To complete the history of Kir John Frank lin a isi>c expedition, ono mum. npcua a »uiu- mcT on KiuglWilUuuiViJLand with a considera ble party, wlio-e. only business should bo to make searches for records which beyond doubt lay buried on the island. I am certain from what i have heard the natives say, aud from what 1 saw myself, Hint little or nothing more can be gained by making searches there when the land is clothed iu its white garb, for the Esquimaux have made search after search over all the coast of King William’s Land, on either side, from its southern extreme, np to Capo Felix, the northern point, for uuythtng and everything that bclongod to tho companions of Kir John Franklin, and these searches have been made when tho snow had nearly all dis appeared from tho land. My sledge company from Repulse Bay to King William’s Land consisted of eleven souls, all Esquimaux. Although they aro as uutatu able as eagles by nature, yet by their aid alom I was enabled to roach points otherwise inac cessible, aud when there to gain much impor tant information relative to tho fate of Sir John Frankiiu’s expedition. 1 tried hard to accomplish far more than I did, but not one of the company would, on any accouut what over, consent to remain with mo in that coun try and make a summer search over that laud, which from information I had gained from the natives, 1 had reason to suppose would be rewarded by tho discovery of tho whole of the manuscript records that Had cumulated in that great expedition, nnd bi deposited iu a vault a little way inland or east ward of Cape Victory. Knowing, ns I now do, tho character of tho Esquimaux in that part of the country in which King William’ Land is situated, I cannot wonder nt no blumo tho Repulso Bay natives for their refusal to romain there ns I desired. It is quito pro bable, had wo remained as wo wished, no orn of us would have got out of the country alive. How could we expect, if wo had got into straightened circumstances, that wo should ri coivo bolter tri-.itment from the Esquimaux of that country than tho 105 souls who wore under tlio command of the heroic Crazier, some time after landing on King William’s Land? Could I and my party, with reasona ble safety, have reruuinod to have made a sum mer search on King William’s Land, it is not only probable that we should have recovered the logs anil journal i of Sir John Franklin’s expedition, hut have gathered np and en tombed tlio remains of nearly ono hundred of his companions, for they lay about the place whore ttio bout-* have boon found, and at the large cam ping place at tho lioad of Terror 1 the three other places thst I have al ready mentioned. In tho Covo, west side of 'tiehardson, however, nature herself lias 1 her bosom, and given sepulture to the h of tho immortal heroes that died there. Wherever the Esquimaux have fouud the graves of Franklin's companions, they have dug them open and robbed tho dead, leaving them expost .1 to the ravages of wild beast r. On Todd’s Island the remains of live I, but utter the savage* had r l»bed them ot every article that ooQld be tnrnvd to account for their own use, their dogs were allowed to finish their disgusting work. Wherever I found Unit Sir John Franklin’s companion’s had dud I erected monuments, then tired salutes and waved the 8tar Span gled Banner over them iu memory and ro und true discoverer* of the I could have gathered ft wd Interest in inspecting on theljr ar rival in the 8tales. I must now tell yon of the heart rending, tragical part of my expftditlon before 1 con clude this rapid, and I must add, incomplete report; for, after all, it Is bat a drop in tho buoket to giving you a tall Idea of the VMt amount of interesting and important informa tion I have gained of the natives about B(« point) Bay, Ig-loo-lik, Felly Bay, NeitchilE, Great Fish or Blaok River and King Wiliam’s Laud, relative to the fate of tiir John Frauk lin's expedition. In tho spring of 1865 I started from Repulse Bay on a dog's sledge journey' to King William’s Land. My oompany wm en tirely of natives, and on our getting about two hundred miles on our way wo met a party of Felly Bay natives, who were fleeing from their country on acoount of a “war” raging there.— The effect on my oompany was that on no con sideration could they be induced to prooeod further, and, therefore, terrible os wus tho blow of my plans, 1 had to turu back, trust ing that I could succeed in getting a small band of fuithful white men, out of some whale ships, if they should happily make into Re pulse Bay. Not until tho full of 1867 was I able to get the desired number of white uieu to accompany mo, besides my Esquimaux in terpreters—Joe and Hannah—as An caoort of defoiiHo, whilo making tho long delayed jour- ney to Kino William's Land, aud, svea then, ns nt tho very last moment—that is, whilo tlio wlmling vessels wore weighing nnchors and starting for the States—that I was success ful. Tho result of my taking seamen that neither I nor their captains know much about, proved as many would expect. Ono of the men, Frank Lailer, ever proved during tLo year I employed the party of five men, a most faithful, hard-working and energotio man, fulfilling every positiou in which I placed him with ability and honor. Two men of the five would, I am quite confident, have proved bet ter men than they did, had they not been ill- advised. None oi tho men, except noble Frank Lailer, ever accompanied me on any of my groat sledge journeys. In the fall of 18G8, during a mutinous attack made upon mo, when my faithful man was absent about seven miles distant on business, I was compelled, in self defense, to call into requisition a revolver. Coleman, the leader, fell, and died in fifteen dayH. At once tho rebellion ended, and out of tho band came, and liko a man acknowl edged freely and truly that he and his com panions wore altogether tho guilty ones, unit hoped that I would forgive him, which I did on the instant. I feel that had I uot taken this lust “dread alternative,” my fate would have been quito as sorrowful as that of Henry Hudson. C. F. Hall.
