MA<’ <> N . GEORGIA: WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 24. Mich, Haro and Racy How Premiums are Obtained at Agricultural Fairs. We commend this to all who attend State and County Fairs. It is from the Rural New York er, an<l will be found highly beneficial to all of ficers who fill vacancies in committees: Col. Moore: Some years ago 1 got acquaint ed with one of your contributors, who edited the Wool Grower, and he used to put me in print 1 must say my vanity was flattered by seeing my name printed in the paper, with some things I said, and some I didn’t say, and we’ve kept the papers ever since. After all, everybo dy likes a little fame, but some are satisfied with a smaller amount than others. Well, I have not the editor any more to set me out, so I have been thinking I would just try and see if you would not put me in the Rural on my own hook—especially as I want to tell you all about going to the State Fair, at Buffalo, the other day. CONCLUDES TO GO. As it was not so far but what we could go with our own team, mother and I concluded we would hitch up and have a week to see the sights and some cousins we had not seen for a long time. Mother (that’s wife, you know) thought we ought to take something to the Fair. I told her to take a tub of her butter, but she didn’t think it was good enough, but thought I might take some of the stock. But I thought it would be a great bother. Howev er, Sam was pretty strong in the faith that we could beat everybody on horses, and wanted to take old Nance. She’s a right smart beast, is that old mare, you may depend. TAKES THE MAKE. Well, we packed off Sam, for 1 was willing to give the boy a holiday. It does the boy great good to attend these kind of Fairs, I do believe, after seeing all I saw there. GOES IN. We got safely to town on Monday night, and Tuesday I went to the Fair grounds to see what was going on. I got in and hunted up Sam, and found he’d got the mare entered, and had got his card on her head, and a good stall, and all things comfortable. The animal arrange ments were first rate generally, and during all the time of the Fair the supply of fodder was good. I think that Maj. Patrick, who was everybody in managing things, a trump sort of a man. BEAKS SOMETHING. As I was standing up near the business office in the crowd, 1 heard a couple of men talking about premiums. One said to the other: “Are you an exhibitor?” “Yes.” * “So am I, ami we had better look to the Com mittees.” “Why so?” “You see the Committees are never all full, and if you are on hand at the big tent when they are called, it’s easy to slip in a friend, which is a mighty nice thing sometimes.” “Well, I am showing a patent for making cowenmbers, and if you can get the premium, it will make my fortune.” “And I am showing a new kind of bobtailed hens, and a premium won’t set me back.” “Well, you get me on to your committee, and I will name you for mine.” “Al! right; go in to win when you can.” Thinks 1, perhaps if that’s the way the thing lean -, I may as well take care of myself as any one else. Everybody for himself seems to b the rule on these occasions. So off 1 strealo d to the cattle-pens to find Smith, who is my neighbor, you kt on. Smith is in the paten bull line. [Mr. P. evi ntly means “improved.” Says 1, “Smith, you're show ing b and I a showing old Nance, and Uguess if merit count sj we can win. And that's the talk here on |a per.” Then I told him what I heard about the committee. “Is that so?” “Exactly.” “Well, I think old Nance is the best mare in the yard.” “ And you’ve got the best bull on the ground.” H ell, sure enough, when the committees were made up. I was on Smith’s bull commit tee, and he was on the mare committee. THE COMMITTEE GOES OCT. The head man took the book, as had the things in it, and we were all introduced to each other and went down to look at the bulls.— We were on the red bulls. So we went along and looked at them, and 1 didn't say much un til I came to Smith's bull, and I looked at him pretty carefully, pulled his tail, punched my fingers into his ribs, and went through the motions, as I had seen the others. Says I, “tha-’s a bull that looks like it.” Smith had combed him aii ver with a fine-toothed comb, and brushed him with a hair brush, and h did look slick, for he w s just as fat as a hog.— And from all 1 saw, I think fat at Fairs, like what the lawyer said about charity, covers a multitude of sins. GETS THE HORNS POKED AT HIM. Just as 1 said that, the fellow who had ahull in the next stall, comes up to me pretty fierce, and <ays he: “What do you know about bulls?” “Well.” si vs 1, “1 think I know what they are us<xi for in my section.” “May-be,” says he, “you are on the com mittee ?” “I have that honor,” says I. “Rut,” says he, “that bull hain’t got any pedigree.” “Well,” says I. “he had father and mother, didn't he ?” •'Oh ! yes; but then nobody knows who they were.” “W ell. then, nobody know s but they were just a> likely as your bull’s parents.” “But. sir, look at my bull’s pedigree. There it is. sir. Got by imported Shirt-tail, out of Skim-milk, by Thunder,” Ac.; and ho showed a string of name- as long as your arm. ell. says Ito the committee, “are we to judge the pedigree or the animal?” And they said, “the animal, of course.” “Then.” said I to the fellow, “will your bull get better stock than this ?” “Os course he will,” says he, “for he's got a pedigree, and that bull hain’t.” “Well," >ay- I, “your bull has got somebody to brag for him. and the other hasn't, that’s certain." And that sorter knocked him. “But," says I, “I've known people who felt grand over their pedigree*, and I've seen a heap of people who couldn't go further back than their father and mother that banged them all to pieces for smartness. ‘Handsome is that handsome does,'" says I, “and as the hymn book says, *a man’s a man for a' that.’ Pedi gree to gra>s —I go in for the animal.” smith’s bill wins. When we got through and looked at our marks, the other two had Smith's bull second. I had him first So we talked it over, and fi nally, as they did not care much about it, they altered the figures, and gave Smith the first premium, which I think was right. AND THE OLD MARE. Smith had a great time over old Nance. It turned out that each of the other two commit teemen had friends whose mares were to be judged, and they pretty soon picked out their favorites. So he kept still and let them talk, and they soon got into a quarrel, and then they appealed to Smith, and he kinder sided with one, but thought old Nance was the best mare, and finally, to keep the other from getting first, ■h him, and he went in for both of says he saw some queer things ttee. got our premiums, but you don't Jolonel, as well as I do, that it 1 ng more than merit to be sure GETS IRREVERENT. The State of New’ York is a great State, the ; biggest in the Union, and the New York State I Agricultural Society is a great institution, but I if there ain’t some of the allfiredest big hum • bugs crawling around its Annual Fair, then .

Command, ' 'b>iiN Pi own anole. idPfcoi.N PROGRAMM E Is thus foreshadowed by the Herald on the strength of the discoveries of its correspondents: “It thus appears tha?*“old Abe” is a conser vative republican—that he contemplates no war upon the constitutional rights of slavery in the slave States —that his platform is the Chicago platform in good faith, and that his general poli cy upon slavery will be to conciliate the South into submission instead of exasperating her peo ple into open rebellion. His Cabinet, too, will be made up of Northern and Southern men, and it is probable that Mr. Seward, instead of going into the State Department, will prefer the mission to England, in order, like Mr. Buchan an, to be out of harm’s way till the next cam paign. Mr. Lincoln’s Southern ministerial ad visers will be selected from such conservative men as Henry* Winter Davis, of Maryland; John Minor Botts, of Virginia, and John A. Gilmer, of North Carolina. In only one thing does it appear will the policy of Mr. Buchanan’s successor be radical in the extreme, and that is his policy in reference to the spoils. On this point, from all that can be learned, “Old Abe” will make a clean sweep, and there will be “Wide-Awakes” enough on hand to keep him from falling asleep over this important duty of dividing the loaves and fishes. This programme has the look of a fine morn ing, a delightful ship’s crew, a fair breeze and u pleasant voyage. Will it be so? We cannot i answer; but we fear that the voyage will be i stormy from the outset, if not disastrous, to the ' end. Mr. Lincoln’s election as President of the | United States by the free States alone in op position to the solid vote of the slave States, will be a new event in our political affairs, marking a new epoch and a new departure in the policy of the general government, equiva lent to a great revolution. This thing cannot take place without a shock and recoil. What the Southern States w ill do in advance of any overt act of the Lincoln administration we can not divine. From Virginia to Texas, the South ern people are certainly in a very disturbed, uneasy, unsettled and revolutionary condition of mind ; but the prevailing idea appears to be, nevertheless, the policy of waiting for some di rect abolition provocation from the new dynas ty* before embarking upon that unexplored sea of a Southern confederacy. Entertaining this belief, Mr. Lincoln has doubtless shaped his policy to meet the South half way with his Hag of truce. But here he will be met by the anti-slavery* progressives of his party*, such as Senators Seward, Wilson, Hale and Sumner, and such men as Thaddeus Ste vens, Grow, Colfax, Van Wick, Bingham, I Hutchinsand Lovejoy, of the House, and the advanced abolition guard, the Kansas Zouaves, the Dred Scott sappers and miners ; in fact, the bulk of the fighting men of the republican ar my* will back up their ultra leaders at AV ash ington, and crowd hard upon the administra- i tion to push it forward against the “slave pow er.” Thus, from the next morning after Lin coln's election, he will be placed between two fires and become the center of an “irrepressi ble conflict” in his own camp. Election or Lord M ayor of London. —Sat- urday, September Ist, being Michaelmas day, a common hall was held, in accordance with ancient usage, in Guildhall, for the election of a chief magistrate for the city of London in the ensuingcivic year. The following shows the manner in which a choice was made. Previous to the election the lord mayor, ai dermen and sheiiff, accompanied by all the principal officers of the corporation, wearing their appropriate rolws and badges of office, w<nt in state to the church of St. Lawrence- ■ Jewry and heard Divine service and a sermon, I which was preached by the Rev. Henry* Christ- i mas, M. A., the lord mayor’s chaplain. After the arrival of the procession at Guild hall, the common sergeant read the names of members of the corporation who had served the office of sheriff, and were eligible to fill that of ' lord mayor, namely : Wm. Cubitt, M. P., al dermam and fishmonger; Sir Henry Mugger idge, aiderman and innholder ; Wm. Anderson Rose, aiderman and spectacle maker; William Lawrence, aiderman and carpenter ; Warren Stormes Hales, aiderman and tallow-chandler ; Benjamin S. Phillips, aiderman and spectacle maker ; Thomas Gabriel, aiderman and gold smith ; Wm. F. Allen, alderman'and stationer, John Joseph Mechi, aiderman and lorimer, and Edward Conder, alderman and wheel wright. The mace-bearer then put the names to the meeting, one after another, of the aiderman eli gible for election to the mayorality, when a large majority of hands were held up in favor of Ai derman Cubitt. The mention of Sir Henry Muggeridge’s name was followed by* the next greatest number of hands, and that of Alderman Mechi elicted a complimentary cheer. The lord mayor and aldermen proceeded to ; their chamber to decide between the two for . whom the show of hands had preponderated j : over the rest of the members of their body eli- I ! glide to fill the oflice, and on their return the ! common sergeant, at the request of the lord may- I or, announced that the election had fallen on I Mr. William Cubitt, M. P., aiderman and fish- | monger. The announcment was followed by* < i loud and prolonged cheering, accompanied, by i I waving of hats and hankerchiefs. An Unfaithfh Husband Miraii i.ovsly Es- i cases Drowning.—Not long since a man named I E. N. White left his family in Burlington, ! lowa, and came to Chicago to get work. His i family suspected nothing wrong; but a short time after his wife lowa received the following ! pious and consolatory letter : Chicago, August 28. Mrs. White—l have the pain, as a stranger, to announce to you that your husband, Mr. E- N. White, was on the lake in a boat, and was ; ! upset. He unfortunately drowned before as- I sistance could pick only me up. He is gone. “ The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken a way.” May he comfort you, the widow and the fatherless, who feedeth the young ravens. E. Newcombe. From several suspicious circumstances, Mrs. White was of the opinion that her epistolary de- I . fund still lived. Further investigation proved that Mr. E. N. White was still alive, and that he himself must have written the melancholy tidings ot his own drowning. Both he and Miss Murphy* were found, and will be dealt with, not as persons drowned, but as great sin- I ners in the flesh. A Princely Present to a Kentucky Belle, j i —On Monday Miss Mattie Taylor, of Newport, j Ky.. received from the Prince of Wales a mag- ! nificent diamond brooch, surmounted by his I ' crest The present is a token of the Prince’s ! remembrance of the Cincinnati ball, and more particularly, of course, of the pleasure he ex perienced in the society of Miss Taylor, who ! was selected as one of his partners by’ the floor , managers, and with whom he danced and : j waltzed.
