Central Rail Road.—We were indebted to Mr. Adams, day before yesterday, for an ad vance copy of the Central Rail Road Report, but have not yet found space to notice it. THE* FA IR—DEC EM BER 20. Skies perfectly clear and in strong contrast with the gloomy weather of yesterday. The in terest manifested at first continues unabated, and the large crowd in attendance yesterday must satisfy the most sceptical that the Cotton Planters Fair is a most decided success. The Fair is exclusively under the supervis ion of prominent planters of the South, who have had to contend with many adverse circum stances, such as “ financial embarrassments,” Iva I weather, &c., 4c., but the perfect order, an 1 systematic arrangements which have pre vailed, clearly demonstrate that the planters can do some things as well as others. The stock exhibition was fairly inaugurated yesterday, and a finer display of match horses Lst horses and some slow ones is rarely met with. Newton Owens, Monroe Co., Ga , show’s one stallion. J. A.

Some days ago we were so struck by a ser mon we found reported in the Herald of the 10th, that we determined to re publish it for the gratification of our readers. It is not alone that such a discourses should have found de liverance in Brooklyn, but principally for the extraordinary merit of the discourse that we commend it to the reader. GRAND DEMONSTRATION TO-NIGHT IN HONOR OF SOUTH CAROLINA. The friends of the South and those who en dorse the action of South Carolina in her seces sion, are invited to meet at the Court House to night at 7 o’clock, to join in a procession, and otherwise celebrate the Anniversary of South Carolina’s Independence. The “ Minute Men ” Battalion will appear by order of the Commander in full regalia and , with their transparencies. Bonfires will illu mine the city, and minute guns will be fired by the Artillery. MR. COBB’S SPEECH. Hon. Howell Cobb made yesterday, at Con cert Hall in this city, a stirring, eloquent and effective speech, to a crowded and enthu siastic audience. The main topics of his dis course were the character, objects and propo sitions of the Lincolnites —the vain hopes held up in the South of a re-action and abandonment of their fell purposes—“ co-operation” as a rem edy—secession the true remedy—the position of Georgia as the front State—the only hope of preserving peace rests in a prompt secession by her from the Union. If she hangs back, she invites the Federal Government to attempt co ercion against the seceding States, and in an armed resistance to that attempt Georgia must be irresistibly drawn by the incentives of a common sympathy and interest. Thus then, secession w’ould coine to us through revolution and civil war, whereas by taking open and ear nest ground for it in the Convention a re public of thirteen States would be organized in six months without the shedding of a drop of blood. We have not another line of space to devote to as able, eloquent earnest and satis factory speech as anybody might desire to lis ten to. WARLIKE. The tone of the Northern prints is decidedly coercive, but we apprehend they will think bet ter of it before the fight comes. Unless stark madness rules the hour the border Southern States will fall promptly in with a movement which is now inevitable, and the South will practically present at once, as a tough subject for coercion, from nine to twelve Southern States, which the world itself could not conquer. The Black Republicans now, however, talk of coercion as though they really meant to try it. MR. COBB’S SPEECH. Hon. Howell Cobb spoke about two and a half hours yesterday to a crowded and highly enthusiastic audience. He considered the char acter, objectsand propositions of the Black Re publican party —the allegations that a reaction is going on in the North—demonstrating their falsity. A CURIOSITY. We have on our table a package of samples cotton raisedin the United States, South Amer ica, India, Egypt and Africa. It came from the Department of the Interior to the Cotton Planters’ Association.

A. FORD, Ga. C. F. GIBSON, Ga. H. L. CREECH. A CARD. Messrs. Adger & Co., beg to say in reply to “A Merchant,” of yesterday, that before they placed their goods on exhibition or sale, they placed in the hands of F. S. Bloom, Collector of the Customs for the port of Macon, their For eign Invoices for all their goods brought to Ma con, and that they are not only paying taxes on all goods sold, but that they are renting the store they occupy. They regret that “A Merchant” did not buy his stock in Charleston, as it is his misfortune, and not our fault, that we sell our goods so cheap. PEELER PLOW. The report given of it, the Cooper, and Blood worth Plow in the Telegraph on the 19th, was calculated to make a false impression, for my plow was not called for by the Committee but once, and that, when the furrow had to be run in a hard trodden path—and they did not meas ure the width of the plow or ploughing. The ploughing match of to-day both, the Committee and plow men, refused my propositions which were Ist—four steel blades to have preference, if cost and work be the same. 2d—convenience of making or repair ing in common shops. 3d—adjustment. 4th —convenience of attaching and detaching blades so that a negro would not have them i wrong. sth—doing with the same things the greatest variety of work with perfect adapta tion. 6th —the coet of plows as well as work. But all these propositions were refused, and* my Committee-man says he saw all day, that , they did not intend to give the Peeler Plow a ' fair chance according to its merits, and finally i refused to co-operate with them. But such op- i I position will serve a poor purpose ; the people will judge their own interest, for I have sold more rights, no doubt, the few days I have been here, than all the ploughmen put together. If some of the ploughmen and their friends will oppose me enough, I shall do well, no doubt. My plows were not gotten up merely for ploughing matches, but for practical purposes. A plow must stand on its own merits in cost, work, 4c., and plows for less than half the money, is an item these times. I hope to have plows made soon by the thous ands, here at Macon, and at Atlanta—can now supply orders for several hundred, at Speir’s Turn Out Georgia. Address me there. JAMES PEELER. Dec. 2(i, 1860. ■••• ■■■" •• M. de Talleyrand, said: “ There is nothing j in the sphere of politics so hard to get believed I as the truth. Whenever I have revealed the ! pure and simple truth, 1 have always been sus pected of dissimulation ; arid have always been 1 believed when I have resigned myself to the ne cessity of concealing it. I predict that the first statesman who shall have the moral courage to avow, hour by hour all that he thinks and all that he knows, will create for himself, the rep utation of being the most consummate hypo- I crite.” . i BY TELEGRAPH.

Arsenal at Augusta, has resigned his commission in the army.— [Report is, that Col. Walker has been tendered the command of a regiment to be raised in Richmond and Burke.

The Mercury of the 19th, speaking of the at tacks upon Mr. Buchanan in relation to his re fusal to reinforce the garrison at Fort Moultrie, says:— When the State is out of the Union; when ,tho forts are demanded and refused to be deliv ered up to those in whom is vested the title of eminent domain, and for whose protection and defence alone they were ceded and built up ; and when, the Federal Government showing a hostile purpose, it shall become necessary and proper for us to obtain posession, then it will be right for the world and Black Republicanism to expect that the State, by her authorities, will move in the premises.

No business man can help seeing that this is the only correct way to order goods—through one that gives his personal attention to that branch of business. I inspect each article, buy nothing but the best, and I buy and sell for CASH only, consequently, can buy much less than those w-ho buy on thirty or sixty days time, as is customary with most bus iness men in all markets. They who order their goods through me, gets the best article, and at much less price than those who older through parlies that is not in the business, or knows but little or nothing about the mark et or the article wanted.
