Hitherto it has been observed os a national fete day by tho French people. Now, there are fow Frenchmen who would care, or daro, do more than curse the day he was born. Ono year ago Napoleon was at tho head of his army, doing what ho could to re deem hia promise to hold his fete in Ber lin. To-day he is an exile from his coun try—is no more to tho French pccplc than any other mau; and if he is mentioned more frequently than other exiled French men, it is that all the greater curses may bo heaped upon him. Alas! what a game of sec-saw this life is in all of its condi tions. Fortune is a wicked flirt. To-day she loo8ensH.be strings’of her leticule, sn«l empties all her wealth at the feet of her favorite. To-morrow she has n<3 favors to bestow, but angrily blushes away all her former bounties. A few mouths ago tho word of Napoleon bad the power to af fect the value of all tho Stocks and Bonds in tho world’s Exchange. To-day ho has no more power in that direction than a Comanche Indian. Thero is no doubt that this birthday will bo the saddest of bis life, und anything but a fete day to him. Quite as melancholy is his condi tion as was that of tho other Napoleon, whose spirit chafed and fretted while lis tening to tho dash of tho waves against tho rocks of "wild St Helen.” GEORGIA MEWS. Tho Americas Republican announces the death of Mr. Ferry H. Oliver. Savannah has had a miscegenation cose. Tho Early county News announces tho death of Henrv Botts, ono of the oldest citizens of Miller county. A negro boy confined in Brooks county jail, under a charge of burghiry, recently escaped from the jail guard, oud has uot yet been recaptured. A revival liaa been in progress in the Baptist Church at Quitman for the past ten .lays, and a number have united themselves with the Church. The Bainbridge Son says : Crops geu- e.rally aro in a bettor condition than has been supposed, judging from conversa tions we have held with farmers lately. Tho Washington Gazelle of the lltlr says: ,, , „ On Wednesday morning Mr. A. W. Buclaon, who has been suffering from mental derangement for some time past, committed suicide by taking strychnine. A rattlesnake five and a half feet long, with double fangs an inch in length, seventeen rattles, and two inebee between tho eyce, was killed in Dr. W. J. Oliver's yard, at Fowlstown, On., one day last week. The Macon Telegraph says there is now more mechanical labor going on in that city than at any time within tire last twenty years. Almost every rod estate owner ui tho city is making improve- ments of some sort about his property, and, with what new buildings that are up, all of the meclianies tire kept busy, and thero is work for many more if they were there to do it. Qnring the past three or four weeks, says tho Washington Gtudle of the Uth, tho drought has done immonso damage throughout this county. About one-thinl of the county has liad no rain for about nine weeks. Wo passed through tmswxr tion some ten days ago, and for tho first timo saw corn actually dead in the Helds, in many fields the corn could havo been burnt by placing a lighted match to it.— The cotton VIas little, it any, better. Wo saw many fields wLio.b we do uot believe would make a bale to tcu acres. Fortu nately, the other portion of our county has buffered very little, the drought hav ing set in after tbo cully corn was pretty well made, and wo have bad good rains, during the post week, In time to save tnc lute crop. Cotton, however, is not good in any section, and we doubt if more than half the quauiity will be gathered as was hu.t year. We hoi>e that, iu spito of the terrible dronght in a portion of tho coun ty, that t-nr ugh corn will he made within her borders to supply the home consump tion. The fruit crop is very Abundant, but very inferior in quulity. Tho peach trees are oveiloaded and breaking down uuder the weight of the heavy crop, but tho fruit is small, barJ, gummy and of pour fluvor. If hall or two-thirds had been removed from tho trees after ull dan ger of frost was gone, tho crop would have been much finer. Tho Elbeiton Gazette of the lOlhsuys The crops iu this section have suffered intensely for the last two weeks from tho excessively warm, dry weather. They were looking very promising until the drj weather set in, but oil hopes of any thing like an average yield, cither of cot ton or ccrn, havo boo abandoned. Tlie aggregate value of Putnam county taxable property for 1871, is $1,001,712, against $1,400,000 last year, showing an increase of $271,712. Tho number of polls is 1,508—whites 508, blacks 1,000. There are only fourteen professional men in tho county. Ou Sunday oveniug last, some young people near Rocky Mouut were taking a walk. Ono young lady, having a small switch in her hand, struck a young man who happened to havo a small copper cartridge in his pantaloons pocket, winch exploded, tho ball passing through their clothing and lodging in the kneo of the lady, producing a painful and dangerous wound. A correspondent of the Augusta Chron icle, writing from Marietta, says: "Shrewd farmers hereabout estimate that the cot ton crop this year will scarcely exceed two and a half million bides. In the lower portion of tho State it has been be set l>y too frequent rains, and iu the up per i»ortiou by tho wont of rain. In cer tain districts up hero corn and cotton are suffering from tho ravages of grasshop pers, or if you please, as the Charleston- aiis say, "hopper-grasses.” A correspondent writing from Louis ville, Jefferson county, to tho Savannah News, gives tho following account of a pc occurrence in that vicinity: jn Tuesday ovening last Mr. J. L. Coleman went to tho plantation of Mr. G. W. Brinson to arrest a freodman by tho name of Bugg Fierce, who was con cealed in a house. Coleman demanded admittance, which was refused. Ho then forced tho door open and entered, when he was shot by tho negro and instantly killed. The Mayor of Augusta submitted the report of Engineer C. A. Olmstead to the City Council last Monday. The plan embraces 36,865 feet of canal at an esti mated total cost of $371,610 56. This will produce a mechanical force equal to 10,560 horse power on thirty feet fall, which, at ten dollars per horse power yearly rentage, would bo worth $105,600 per annum. Tho actual rentage to be paid by the Augusta and Oglethorpe factories will amount to $28,000, which would pay interest on $400,000. • P-+-4 ROME AMD THE ROMANS.

Rome, Ga., Auj. 11, 1871. It is uot to be reasonably expected that even Rome, the classic "Seven-hilled City” of the Empire State of the South, should be able to put ou its best attire or show off to the best advantage its indige nous beauty under tue disadvantageous effects of a seven weeks’ severe drought, when a mantle of subtle dust covers, ns with a pall, every visible object, and even dame Mature refuses to be happy uuder the vertical rays of an almost tropical sun. Yet, iu spite of all those infelici tous surroundings, Rome cannot conceal her native merits and beauties as one of tlie brightest oud most interesting cities of our dear old State. She sits a queen enthroned upon her blooming mountaiiis; her glowing feet laved in the silver waters of her tributary streams, tlie ro mantic Etowah and Oostanoulo, sur rounded by her glorious sisterhood of charming valleys, and holding aloft the golden sceptre of manufacture and com mercial enterprise. SCENERY. Without doubt tho scenery around Rome is tho most picturesque in Georgia; oud for its loveliness and quiet grandeur unsurpassed in tho wholo extent of our country. It must bo seen to be appre ciated; and the traveler to this eyrie of tlie mountains will l>e surprised at the beauties that nature unconsciously re veals to his ravished eye, and cause him to linger with love and depart with re gret from a spot hollowed by all that can refine tho mind and elevate the poetic aspirations of the soul. TJIIUFT AND PBOSTECTB. Tho thrift and industry of our Moun tain City is oue of its most noticeable features. On every side the whirr of ma chinery and tho welcome souud of busy steam is hoard, showing that the people of this city are wide awake to their best interests, and aro boldly marching for ward in the grand column of progress, whoso thunderous treud is startliug the world and shaking the dry bones of the slow post in their sepulchres. We are glad to notice these grand indications of uoblo spirit and enterprise on the part of our sister city; and this feature bus boon one of continued praise ou tho lips of every visitor and member of the State Agricultural Convention, now convened in this city. God speed tho best inter ests of Rome ! THE FSOPLB of Rome are noticeable for their energy, thrift, wide swakeness, and mountaineer hospitality. Though tho proportions of this classic-named city ore small, the heart of its gallant people is metropoli tan, and its grateful scope endeavors to embrace a whole continent of charity and hospitality. "No pent up Utica contracts its powers”—a fact grateful to tho weary sojourner witbiu its verdaut walls. toe cnors. Wo aro sorry to learn and to observe, owing to the violont^drought and excess ive heat, even the virgin fertility of the soil arouud Rome has failed to avert the frown of an adverse season, and that In consequence the crops in the vicinity of Rome arc languishing and virtually with ering, and unless the grateful dews of heaven descend Roon in alleviating show ers, tho crops of this region will ho al most a failure.

A jaunty, business-like air pervades the busiuess streets of Romo, aud well-filled shelves aud counters give evidonco of tho prosperity of tho city. Thero arc also many elegant and comfortublo private residences, as well os conspicuous public buildiugs. Judging from tho number of churches, the Romans aro a devout, os well os keen commercial and political people, which speaks well for them. All that Romo still needs is a first-class hotel, a la Kimball House, to accommodate the hundreds of aunual visitors to the Moun tain City. And last, but not least, I must daintily touch upon tho ROMAN LADIES ! Though my ill star has fated mo to be hold but little of their beauty, owing to tho paucity ol their numbers upon the hot, dusty streets, yet those examples which I have seen ontitles me to lay claim for them to the highest appreciation on the part of tho sterner sox. They are graoe/ul and elegant in toilette, with a springy, mountaineer step, buoyant os the bright air of the bills on which they live, fresh os the dew upon the mountain heather, and sweet-voiced as the waters of their blending nativo streams. God bless them, and give them, in His own good time, clever and industrious hus bands. In conclusion, I desire to acknowledge the unstinted courtesy of Col. Siianklin, the Grady Bros., and Major Milton, of tho Commercial; and to Captain Mapp. Their attentions made this visit to Rome os pleasant as could be desired. S. BTATKAOIUCPLTt'HALCO.VVKNTlOX.

Etlilon y the Sun .-—The first tiling in the order of business this morning was the discussion on the resolution to memo rialize the Legislature to allow the Con vention the disposition of the Land Scrip donated tho State by act of Congress of July 2d, 18C2, for the establishment of an Agricultural CoUogc. Ex-Governor Brown firet appeared upon tho floor ns tho representative of tho delegation from the Alumni of tlie University of Georgia He favored no special locality, but was hero to net for tho host interests of the whole State. Ho showed, that with the !>est success in the sale of this scrip only seveuty-fivo cents per acre could be real ized from it, which would raise about two hundred thousand dollars, os an endow ment fund, there being two hundred and seventy thousand acres for Georgia’s share: that it was utter folly to talk of dividing this fund and establishing two schools in different sections of the State, ns the whole fund would not be sufficient to properly endow ono College if set up to itself. Ho spoke of tlie advantages of tlie University of Georgia ovor all other com petitors ; that it already hod tho profes sors to teach the requisite branches with out paying others, and could afford op portunities for the Agricultural class in any of the various collegiate studies at tho same time. The law of Congress prohibits tho expenditure of any part of this fund for tho erection or repairing of buildings; it was, therefore, useless for sections whioh had not buildings to at tempt the establishment of such an in stitution without an additional endow ment. He oited instunoes of all similar institutions North, and many in England and Germany, to show, 1st, the necessity aud advantage of such an institution; and, 2d, their inability to oontinue in successful operation if snstainod by a Bum of money no larger than that whioh would bo realized from this scrip, and not in connoetion with ono already pro gressing successfully. He was followed by CoL McKinley, the mouth-picoo of the MiUedgovillo delega tion. His points were, 1st, That Mil- ledgevillo had the buildings and ground for an experimental farm. 2d, That the students who would attend this school would bo tho plow-boys, who would be compelled to be at home to do the labor of the farm at oertain times of the year, and Athens was too distant. Millodgo- ville was in the centre of tho aootion which would furnish these students.

The result was the referring of the matter to the original Committee ap- inted last Spring to memorialize tho Col. C. W. Howard delivered an ad dress upon “The necessity of a change in our agriculture iu ooa«equeu<-o oi it change in our labor system." He thought the development of the mineral resumve- III Georgia wae tho principal agency through which this change was to bo brought nlxiut, and that sheep and tur uips would be tho chief fertilizing ag' ii lies. CoL Barnett offered a resolution, that as the noted and valuable works on the subject of Agriculture of George Villo had been translated by u young Georgia girl hi a style of great elegance and per spieuity, that this body earnestly recom mend its extensive circulation iu the event that the translation should bo pub lished. Also a vote of thanks to the fair translator. The j-cnoliitiuii was adopted unanimously by a rising vote, iu reap, to this Georgia Lull, Ujkiu inquiry by the unmarried delegates, the President anounced that the Indy was the duughte of CoJ. C. W.

This resolution excited consider able uud spirited debate on both sides, A substitute was offered by Mr. Tuggle, of LaGrange, which was adopted. It was to refer to a committee of fivo to re port upon the practicability of niernor- alizing the Legislature to make such ahzing tho Legislature to mono such changes in the Code relating to contracts os they deemed best for tho interest of the State. Mr. Newman, of Hancock, offered a resolution to refer to a committee the expediency of establishing a State Jour nal of Agriculture, which was adopted. llauy ol tho delegates have left, though tho business of tho Convcution is still goiug on with great onorgy aud dispatch.

Tlio Southern correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce has writ ten to that journal from Washington, un der date of tho 8th instant, an interesting account of nn interview with President Grant, together with some other pertinent matters. Ho writes: AN INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT GRANT. Understanding from General Balicock tlrnt the President would be glad to have a talk with me about southern matters, your correspondent embraced an op portunity to sten into tho sanctum sanctorum oi tho White House aud in dulge in an interview. A remarkable improvement in the President’s health is apparent at the first glance. He is much stouter than usual, aud looks well. Our conversation i. at first was a mere matter of explanation of affairs in the Southern States from the standpoint on which I based general conclusions its to tlie material, social and jiolitieal condi tion of the different States, us shown in letters sent you from the States them selves, together with tlie business and po litical prospects in thoso States. The President listened attentively, aud inter posed many questions. He seemed par ticularly anxious to know wliat the peo ple thero thought of his appointees in the custom-houses and postotlices and other government positions. He was answered that the general complaint against his offi cers is on political grounds, and that the chief dissatisfaction at the South is with State and county officials. The course of the Bout-hern people toward government officials is generally determined by the honesty and capacity shown by tlie in cumbents. As a general tiling, govern ment officers get along well with the jko- pie, aud many of them aro highly re spected. The men against whom the peo- plo of the South generally show a vindic tive spirit are men who were dishonest at home in the North, and arc now thieves at tlie South, conducting their nefarious schemes uuder the sliielu of officiul posi tion, as republicans, and as republicans only, because thoy thereby manage to use tho negro votes to elect them to office. WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID. Tho President admitted a belief that thero are many very bad men in office in tho South claiming to be republicans, but who would be anything in the polit ical lino that would lurther their bad de signs, and are not, therefore, chargeable to the account of tho Republican party as a great political organization. BLo be lieves a largo number of Ku-Klux out rages have been committed, but that the gradual advance of a better feeling throughout the South, besides the mortil effect oi the passage of tho Ku-Klux bill, has stopped Ku-Kluxism and outlawry to a very great extent. He did not propose, in making appointments, to consult pol iticians in fch# South, who vote against tho Republican party, any more than ho would in tho North. But he was deter mined to givo them honest aud compe tent government officials, and he would take it as a favor when men of any shade of politios disooyer dishonesty or incom petency on tho part of his appointees lo acquaint him with the fact. Woll-autheu- ticated complaints from any onarter would receive caroful attention. Ho hod removed all objectionable men from tho New Orleans custom house, and he be lieved ho had a good set of officials there now. He regarded the condition of tho South generally as improving. The President was hurried. Ho was obliged to oconomize timo in ordor to get off to-night; Concluding the inter view, he said : "As for news that you may wont to print, I can only say that I have decided to appoint Mr. Douglass commissioner of internal rovenue.” " And let Pleasanton go ?” "Of course?’’ " Why, I thought you were a friend of Gen. Pleasanton’s. You luive no hard feelings against him, havo you ?” "Nono whatever. It bus become neceasary, in order to secure harmony iu public affairs, to appoint a successor to him. I like Gen. Pleasanton. Ho aud I were together at West Point, aud have been friends ever since, and always will be, I hope. THE SENSATION OF TUE SEASON has been the suspension of Gen. Flecsan- ton. Cabinets are close corporations.— Members thereof seldom quarrel, because of a reciprocal feeling that each must finally returned ill the papers the wuivi oh if no appeal had been made. Mi. Pleasanton began to loso friends, aud among them were numbered some of those who were mainly instrumental iu securing a position for him. Others grew' cool toward.*! him. The reason for this change was very apparent. Certain gentlemen expected to ubohirn as a pliant tool, cud they found they had selected the wrong mau. The next thing for tl em to do appeared to be to havo Pleas anton dismissed. They either joined bauds with Mr. Boutwoll ordid not ussist their friend Pleasanton. WUAT PLEASAN TON DID. Mr. Ph'UMUitou awarded eoutruetn for printing revenue stamps. He failed, after thorough examination, to discover any particular merit, but believes he could^soe decided disadvantages iu the fibre paja-r of ono of the bidders, and therefore resolved to use another kind of bank-note paper for stamps. Mr. Rout- well lielievcd the patent fibre paper used by the Department for bonds, notes, Ac., a mirueulouw discovery, aud decided Unit the Commissioner of Internal Reve nue should adopt that stylo of paper and no other. Mr. PI wwuton refused, und though the contracts wore to commence outlie 1st day of July, yet no work has been done on them because of the disa greement between these two officials. Tlie dividend taxes assessed for the last five montliH of 1870 were declared wrong ly assessed by Mr. Pleasanton, and the Secretary overruled him again. When Mr. Pleasanton reversed previous rulings, and declared that tho law does not cor. template taxing l>orrowed money os enpi tal, Mr. Boutwell again flew into a pas sion, and docliU'od that t ho country would be ruinod by this man Pleasanton. WUAT no LTWELL DID. Tho discussion of tho question uutur ally marked lines of defenso. The Sec rotary of tho Treasury protested to tho President and his fellow-members of the cabinet that his "subordinate” was doing things iu opuosition to his policy; while ho (Boutwell) was trying to put the screws down tight and draw every dollar ho could, liko drops of blood, from tho tax-payer, Pleasanton, was actually throw ing the doubt, whero doubt existed, to tho benefit of tbo taxpayer. Pleasanton contended that he was not a subordinate in any sense of tho word, and that tho decision of tho Commissioner of Internal Revenue was final in each case, and that he desired that point tested by the At torney General. Ho applied to tho President to huve tho test made but tho President reform! him to Secretary Boutwell, whom he did not like to of- iend. Of course Secretary Boutwell would not submit the question to the Attorney General* Mr. Pleasanton then begged tho President, again, to wait and solicit the opinion of the Attorney Gen eral as to the question of subordination. Mr. Boutwell, whose iniluouco is feared, stood iu the way and prevented it. Tho result is known. MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. w. i* fjurtuoare, (fitiltrj. C?«no, <CTc.

The long and short of it is, then, that the Cabinet, with the probable exoontion of Mr. Akerman anil .Mr. Fish, who is absent, united at last in Bupport of Mr. Boutwoll in his persecution of Mr. Pleas anton. The commencement of this aifiiir was in tlie recommendation of Mr. Pieaa- anton that Congress abolish tbo incomo tax, and tho publication of statistics fni- nished by him to show that tho t»x is bnrdensomo nud unnecessary. Then came the minor decisions regarding the routine of tlie office. After that came the Now York Central Bailroad decision. Mr. Pleasanton's ruling was revised by the Secretary. The former wonld havo collected tlie tax in less than two weeks, but tho latter prevented him. Mr. Pleas anton refused to modify bis viows to suit those of the Secretary, and the Socretsry Lust Tuesday night, or mtlier early ou Wednesday morning, about il o'clock, a Mrs. Davis, living about twenty-oight miles from this city, near tho lino of Bill- look-and Bryan counties, was found sit ting up iu bud with her throat cut, from whioh siio died iu a fow moments after alio was found in this condition. From the best information that wo can obtain, it appears that Mr. Joseph Davis, living, as boforo stated, near tho line of Bullook and Bryiui counties, had gono fishing, lcaviug his wife, her sister and his family of children at home, suspecting no ill to befall any of thorn boforo his retnrn. Hia wife was a young woman of about twenty-five or twouty-six years old, and was tbo third wife. He had raised fam ilies of children by two former wives, and hod quite a number of small children.— On tho night in question the family had ull retired to bod os usual, the children slopping on a bod mado on tho floor.— Tho sister of Mrs. Davis was also sleep ing in the samo room. This sister was a widow, a Mrs. Drigger. The evidonco adduced at tho Coroner's inquest furnishes tho best information, and we publish it as related to us ; One of tho children by a former mar riage, u little girl about twolvo years of age, testifies that after midnight she saw Mrs. Davis got mi from her bod and walk to where tlie children were lying, giving two of them a slap, as they were crying and making a noise. From there she saw her return to licr bed, and, iu a short timo afterwurds, heard her cull to her sis ter, Mrs. Drigger, saying sho was bleed ing to deatii. The evidence of tho sister, Mrs. Drig ger, is not only different from this, but is conflicting in itself. Sho states that after Mrs. Davis left the children's lied she walked to a cupboard, against which the little boys' pants were hanging ; that she then walked to the table in tho room, and from there back to her lied. In a few moments Mrs. Davis eallod to her sister, who, together with tho children, ran into her room, finding her sitting up in bod, complaining of bleeding very freely. They were very much excited ; made considerable noise, and finally an old negro woman oamo into tho house.— Mrs, Davis died in n short timo. In the morning n number of persons wont into tho room. Tho little boy, in looking for his pants, found them lying on tho table, instead of hanging against tlio cupboard wlioro he had put th m the night before. On examining the pockets his kuifo was gono. It was somo timo bo fore tlio kuifo was found. Some ono took the tub containing water to the door, and iu pouring out tho water tho knife came out. Huviug been in tlio water for somo timo there was no blood to bo seen ou it* Tbo physician iu attendance examined tlio knife, and comparing tho cut on the noek with the blado of tho kuifo, gavo it us his opinion that it was mado witli that particular knifo. There was no oilier evidence before the Coroner's jury; Mrs. Driggor uiado sev eral contnulietory statements. One time she said it was two hours after sho saw iu-r sister liefore sho died; ut another sho said it was one hour. The verdict of the jury was, that “deceased come toiler death from Home -harp instrument iu the hands of tui unknown person." Bonn are of tlie opinion tliat she cut herself with the knife, which they suppose she was holding open in her hand cutting tobacco, [anil in the effort to brush off mosquitoes sho stuck the kuifo blndo into her neck. Tills in quite improbable, as tlie knife could scurccly have been found in a tub some distance off bud this been tho case. Mrs. Davis was buried on Thursday.
