TlutFair was a success, and we hope
to see it continued from year to year,
and hope it will grow in importance as
it will, if rightly managed. It augurs
Well; and if our own people will but
take the proper interest in the matter,
the Slate Fair will pot only be a con
tinued success but will tend to devel
op the great and growing interests of
Georgia in every department. Our re
sources will by such means be known,
and capital will flow into the Stale to
develop them.

county, Mississippi, composed of an
equal number of whites ai.d blacks,
have found bills for manslaughter a-
gainst both Col. E. Yerger, who killed
Col. Crane, and Sizer, who killed the
marshal ot Jackson. A strong effort
was made to procure the finding of in
dictments for murder, but failed in
both cases. As Yerger was condemn
ed to death by the military commission,
this development ot the case will pre
sent in a strong light the enormity
of trying civilians lor high crimes by

the State
Fair, in Atlanta, on the J9th. We can
not particularise where there was so
much merit, and it will take indeed
nicejudges and critics to award just
premiums.
In the stock line we saw many fine
horses—tacers, trotters and draft hors
es. Great interest is inanilested in
fine horses, and we hope it will con
tinue to increase, until every farmer in
Georgia will take a pride in raising
their own stock.
There was a small display in cows,
sheep and hogs. Not as large as we
expected, but when we take into con
sideration the loss the oeople sustain
ed by the war in this respect, we are
not much disappointed.
There were plows of every descrip
tion and pattern. Certainly,we thought,
our planting friends could find just
what they they wanted for deep or
shallow plowing, or any other kind of
plowing that was needed to make a
crop.
Reaping, planting and cutting ma
chines were on the ground. Labor sav
ing machines of all kinds.
There were fine carriages, buggies,
&c., ol Northern and Southern make.
We were pleased to see what fine
and desirable goods our factories were
turning out. Especially, were we struck
with the fine Cassimeres, Jeans and
Flannels, &c., mauufactured by th
Concord Manufacturing Co., in Cobb
county. We had no idea such fine
goods were manufactured in the State.
We thought at first they were of Eng
lish or Northern Manufacture. We
would advise our merchants to keep
such goods on hand. Post office and

ton goods of all kinds. Also, their fa
mous cotton blankets, a real good arti
cle, and in time, will be all the go ; be
ing a great deal cheaper than wool,and
nearly as waim.
The Augusta Mills, also, had a fine
display of goods. Several other mills,
the names we have forgolton, were
well represented.
The Ladie’s Department was quite
attractive ; both as to the useful and
ornamental. They deserve much praise
lor the interest they manifest in such
matters and in fact make our Fairs
really attractive. In the Preserves,
Pickles and sweet-meat line the dis
play was rich and tasty. We do not
see how the judges can decide where
all are really so fine and attractive.
lu the fine Art Department, we saw
many things to admire and praise.—
Some of the quilts were elegant and
displayed a great deal of labor and
taste.
The paintings, drawings, sketchings
&c., displayed talent by the artists,and
some of high order. There were no
less than a hundred, if not more, pic
tures displayed. The paintings were
well executed.
In the Floral Hall we did not see as
much fruit we expected, though the
display made was creditable.
There were a number of Atlanta
Merchants who had specimens of their
goods on hand, which was a very good
advertisement ot their business, and
which limy doubtless intended.

Sketch of Robert Edmund Lee.
On a quiet autumn morning, in the
land which he loved so well, and, as
he held, served so faithfully the spirit
of Robeit Edmund Lee left the clay
which it had so much ennobled and
travelled out of this world into the
great and mysterious land. Yesterday
the expressions ot regret which sprang
trom the few who surrounded the Peel-
side: of the dying soldier and Christian
will be swelled to-day into one mighty
voice of sorrow, resounding throughout
our country and extending over all
parts of the world where his great gen
ius and his many virtues are known —
For not to the Southern people alone
shall be limited the tribute of a tear
over the dead Virginian. Here in the
North, forgetting that the time was
when the sword of Robert Edmund
Lee was drawn against us—forgetting
and forgiving all the years of blood
shed and agony—we have long since
ceased to look upon him as the Con
federate leader, but have claimed him
as one of ourselves ; have cherished
and felt proud ot his military genius as
belonging to us ; have recounted and
retorded his triumphs as our own ;—
have extolled his virtues as reflecting
honor upon us—'or Robert Edmund
Lee was an American, and the great
nation which gave him birth would be
to-day unworthy of such a son if she re
garded him lightly.
Never had mother a nobler son. In
him the millitary genius of America was
developed to a gr^ t r exlen than ever
before, in him all that was pure anil
lotty in mind and purpose found lodg
mpnt. Dignified without presumption,
affable without familiarity, he united
all those charms of manners which
made him the idol of his friends and
of his soldiers, and won for him the
respect and admiration of lhe world.—
Even as, in ihe day of his triumph,
glory did not intoxicate, so when the
dark clouds swept over him adversity
did not depress. From the hour that
he surrendered his sword at Appomat
tox to the fatal autumn morning he
passed among men noble in his quiet,
simple dignity, displaying neuher bit
terness not regret over the irrevocable
past. He conquered us in misfortune
by the grand manner in which he sus
tained himself, even as he dazzled us
by his genius when the trump of his
sold ers resounded through the valleys
of Virginia.
And tor such a man we are all tears
and sorrow to-day. Standing beside
his grave men of ihe South and men
of the North can mourn with all the
bitterness of four years of warfare
erassed by this common bereavement.
Lay this unity of grief—this unselfi.-h
manifestation o/er the loss of the Bay-
yard of America—in the season of dead
and withered brandies which this death
leaves ushers in, bloom and blossom
distant coining spring into the like the
flowers ot a heartier accord !
