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.

A SERMON.
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 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.

FORT MOULTRIE.
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.

the most advantageous terms to our customers for the

These Instruments we are prepared to sell either for

we think, will be atcepted by many persons in want of j
first class Instruments, who are perhaps not willing to
pay the entire amount at once, aud to whom it will be
easier to pay in monthly installments. Our object is to
assist such persons in procuring a first class Piano, for
whose superiority we will give a five year’s guarantee.—
We intend to effect Urge sales, and are satisfied with
small profits.

FORWARDING AND
COMMISSION MERCHANT,
NO. 231 MAIN STREET.
Louisville, Kentucky,
Personal attention given to all orders and con
eignments.
All goods forwarded with dispatch. All orders filled
the same day the order is received, if possible. From
my thorough knowledge of the markets, and my long ex
perience in the Grocery and Produce and Commission
business, I know that I can save those who order goods
from this market, a Fair Profit. 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.
I am agent for some of the best brands of Flour, Lake
I and Salt Water Fish, N. Y. and W. R. Butter and Cheese,
and seeds of all kinds. I frequently have large Stocks of
' Flour, Grain and Produce on hand; in that case, if I
; have the article wanted, you save the 2X percent. Com
mission, my only charge. N. Y. Exchange received at
selling rates here, and Southern money at par. Al I
■ ask is a trial, then ; if Ido not please you, do not pat- I
j rouize me any more.
