agnraita^ First Premium of Sons AT TIIE COLUMBUS AGRICULTURAL FAIR. BY MRS. CAROLINE LEE HENTZ. Air —“ Sparkling and Bright?’ Hail to the land where tl*obreezes bland O’er a mellow soil are blowing, W here no icy gale, as it sweeps o’er the vale, Congeals the bright wave flowing. By the cultured plain, and the golden grain, To the Plough be honor given: ’Neath its iron tread no blood isshed, No twining heart-chords riven. See the furrowed field a treasure yield,’ The golden fleece outvieing,— Give the downy bloom, to the sounding Loom Set the airy shuttle flying. Let the factory bell in music swell O’er our own blue, rolling waters; The growth let us owe, the web of snow, To our Southern sons and daughters. Where the red sparks glow there’s a sturdy blow On the massy Anvil, ringing, Through the fiery gorge sec the lord of the forge Tlis ponderous hammer swinging : In that bare right arm there’s a power and charm, ’Tis strength and toil united, — On that iron shrine where the hot flames shine, Their nuptial vows are plighted. Let wanderer roam from the joys of home, For gold, his search defying: There is wealth more rare, where our valleys fair, ’Neath the harvest beams are lying. Then honored be the glorious Three t By each fair and manly bosom — Where the tall pines rise to the bending skies, And the wild magnolias blossom. Second Premium Sons. BY C. T. CUSIIMAN.

A society that been existence less than a year, now number more than two hundred and fifty members, and have had exhibited spe ::cns of the Plow, Loom and Anvil, which have not been trpassed south of the Potomac. The largo and beautiful building of the Sons of Temper ance was appropriated to the Produce, Manufactured Goods, Mechanic Arts, Dairy, Fancy Goods, Paintings, Ac., and such a display! It was our good fortune to witness the great Fair at Atlanta, and we tell but the simple truth when we nay that in the variety, richness, and beauty of the articles oxhibted in the Ladies’ and Manufacturer's Halls, our exhibi tion far surpassed the State Fair 5 nor were we much behind in Mock. The Horses, Mules, Jacks, Jennies, Milch Cows, Sheep, Tigs, Poultry, &c., would honor any exhibition in the country. Wo cannot give tho Premium List in this issue, but will correct and revise all the lists an give them in full next week. The Society give out six hundred dollars in premiums. Is there another instance in tho Union of such r - remium list for the first Fair ? There is much due the various committees for tho energy displayed. Particularly would we commend that indomita ble go-a-hcad man, that had charge of the Machinery and :o Manufacturer’s Rail; and in the Ladies’ Hall, Messrs. Clemons, Ware,Fogle, Wilcox, Niles and Gesner, acquitted .selves with honor. What would have been the crowd in r. tendance, had the weather proved fair, it is impossible to fay, :lr notwitlistanding the lowering weather and muddy t®, there were at least five thousand visitors admitted to the Halls on Thursday. The address of Air. Chambers was all than an Agricultural ■*- ‘idress should bo—clear, plain, practical, and yet beautiful : n,l was listened to with marked attention by thousands. £ o deeply were the Society impressed with its utility and beau ty, that they promptly voted the speaker a silver cup, which was presented publicly tlic last day of the Fair. Not the least interesting part of the Fair was the Songs by ue Glee Club. The audience testified their approbation of .0 music, by their breathless silence during tho perform .l e, and their load applause between the verses. Wo give to Prixo Songs. The first premium, a Silver Goblet, s Awarded to Mrs. Caroline Lee Ilentz; the second, a Sil- ver Cup, was awarded to C. T. Cushman. They are both beautiful and appropriate. The Horticultural display was surpassingly beautiful. — Orange and Lemon trees loaded with their golden fruit, Ca rnelias, Leasters, and a host of other rare exotics, loaded with bloom, and Strawberries in full fruit and bloom. The Machinery would have done credit to Pittsburgh.— Steam Engines, Cotton Gins, and Plows, all made in sight of the Hall, give proof that we will “ For ire our native metals.” The works of art, skill, and taste, displayed in tho Ladies’ Hall, cannotbe surpassed in the Union. Everything was represented, and Rip Van AVinkle, had he waked up in that Hall, would have believed himself in one of Aladin’a pala ces. All the prizes offered for treatises were awarded.

Ikiuorui A YANKEE IN TIIE GOLD REGION. “Look here, ycou,” said anew gold hunter the other day, as lie planted himself in one of our cane seat chairs, “be yeou the editor of this 3x4 sheet ?” We drew ourselves up with a severe attempt at dignity, and signified that we had that honor. “Then yeou’r jist the fellow I want to talk a spell tew.” Wc motioned to him to proceed, and after setting his hat down, and turning tho other end of the stick he was whitling, he drew one eyelid down into a more significant wink as he remarked : “I’m arter a pile, stranger.” We nodded “And I want to get it in a lectio the shortest space of time,’’ added he. We ventured to state that most persons who came to California, desired to efleet the same object. “Well, I reckin they do,” said ho ‘but the darned fools go cuttin’ round in the gullies, and piroctin through the cricks, and prospectin’ in the monte banks ; but I’m a mite too cute to go a foolin’ my time arter such notions. Yeou see, I’m a married man, stranger and hevgot six children, and the hull lot of’em are awful smart ; and my old woman aint slow I reckin’.

Well, as I was telin’, I married his sister; and in about the last se ven years, we have bin gittin’ along right sharp in the way of increasin’ the family ; and my wife says to me, says she, ‘Zcekil, do you know what I’m longin’ for?’ Well, I knew if she was a longin for anything, I had to get it; be yeou a married man, stranger ? Oh ! yeou be—well then, said I, what in the airth do yeou want, Grace ?’ said I. ‘Well,’ said she, ‘Zeck, I want a few specimens ? I looked round upon the children—-I believe 1 told yeou I had six —well, T looked at ’em, and said I, ‘Graec, I reckin I’ve given ycou a pooty good share of ’em - enough to satisfy any reasonable woman.”— Says she, ‘go long ; I don’t mean nothin’ of the kind —I want some California Specimens /’ She blurt edit right eout, and I knew if she was longin’ arter them, she had to iiev ’em, so she has just gin me six months—that’s a month for each child—to come eout here and git a pile : so, now, ycou tell me where it kin be raked up in a leetle the shortest space of time. I’m arter it with a sharp pick and a hot shovel; and ycou press fellers know where it can he got, if yeou’ll only tell.’ Wc ventured to mention Scorpion Gulch. ‘No yeou don’t, stranger,’ said he; ‘I aint goin’ to any place to git bit with varmints. Where’s the Met ry Poser V We endeavored to direct the route. ‘lt aint no grant to a Mexican gal of that name, is it?’ enquired he. ‘Good bye,’ said ho, ‘cf I get the pile, I'll christen the next specimen I have at home, arter you ; I’ll be darned es I don’t;’ and away dashed our eastern friend, in search of that joffc / Whipped by a Foreigner. Not ft hundred years ago, the native Americans had a grand procession in the good citvof drab col ors and brotherly love, and first and foremost at the very head and front of all the crowd, marched a youthful specimen from the “first flower of the airth and getn of the say.” Jimmy—that was his name—was a good and pa triotic native, and, tis I said, marched along as proud ly as the best of them ; but, unlucky for his peace not so much of mind as of body, his father espied him from the top of a house, where he had just arrived in company with a hod of brickbats. Now, the elder Jimmy was no lover of the Natives, but on the con trary, mortally detested the ‘rourthern villians,’ and he inwardly determind that his son and heir should sutler some for being among them. YY ell, at last the marching and music was all over, and Jimmy started home as happy as a clam at high water, not dreaming of what was in store for him, until he met his parent face to face. Ye ivas in the percession tlvis marnin,’ remarked the ancient, taking down a well worn strap from a nail in the wall. ‘Troth I was sir,’ answered his son, half shrugino his shoulders at the creepy sort of sensation, which he felt about the back, ‘an’ a mighty nico thing it was entirely.’ The venerable didn’t condescend to waste any more words, but gently raising the strap, he motion ad Jimmy up stairs, which led to the higher regions of the house. ?bs SI ©m.©■ 1 & ©it is sf! 9 But, as the old song says, ‘what they done there, I will not tell you here,’ although I have an idea I could corneas near it, the first pop as the man who went to the guessing school. At any rate, sonnds of lamentation and woe were plentifully mingled with tho noise of falling leather, and when the boy rush ed out of doors and down to the corners with bis companions, it was with a smarting back and face flooded with tears. ‘Hallo, Jim !’ said one of his friends, ‘what’s the muss ? has the old man been lain min yer ? say.’ ‘lie ain’t been doin’ nothin else !’ said Jim. ‘What! for walking in the procession ? Well, I’m blest if I’d blubber about it, any how, if I was you, cried another. ‘Troth, it's not the likes o’ that I’d cry fur,’ an swered Jimmy, looking wrathfully back at the house, ‘but it's bein’ licked by a mean furener that's tear in’ the heart out o’ me!’ A £ood Story, “As the preservation of religion, family and property is the Cuckoo-song of the men who keep up armies, the following little account exhibits extra amiable relations existing between families in coun tries where men marry without love, buying their wives as they would a hog or a donkey, and, of course, looking upon the aged sire of the wife, as a living iiuiouiicc tv/ be it’ rieli, to ho <los phed and neglected if poor : “A merchant of Munich, having obtained a large fortune, gave each of his three daughters a consider ably large sum and married them to three brothers, sons of a worthy man of Hamburg. Ho reserved to himsolf a large capital, and his sons-in-law em ployed all their efforts to induce him to give it to them. At last by flattery and demonstrations of affection, they got the old man's money. But by that time they began to show indifference for him, and at last totally neglected him. The good old man was very wretched, and, what was worse, very poor. One day liis youngest daughter went to him and tried to console him. In the course of conver sation, she suggested to him that he might gain tho good will of her and her sisters’ husbands, and ob tain from them all he needed, by pretending to be still rich. The old man seeing the idea was a good one, resolved at once to act on it. He went to a friend of his, a banker, and obtained an advance of money, and the loan of a service of plate. The next day, ho invited his sous-in-law to dinner. They were astonished to find a service of plate on ’he ta ble, and still more so when the servant brought the old man a letter, and he exclaimed, ‘what! let an old friend bo embarrassed for ten thousand florins! ’ And he went and got the sum from his box, saying, ‘There —take it to your master!’ You see, said he, ‘I am still rich ! ’ The sons-in-law were confounded, and each, with great earnestness, immediately press ed the old man to go and live with him, promising him that he should receive every attention, and eve ry thing he could possibly wish for. But tho old man laid down his conditions—that he should have His own apartments and domestics, a carriage, and a certain sum placed at his disposal. To this the sons-in law eagerly consented. For sometime the old man lived comfortably enough, and wliore ever he went he took the precaution to carry with him his strong box, which was very heavy. A little while ago he fell ill. His sons-in-lav pressed him to make his will, but he said his intention was to di vide the contents of his strong box equally between them and a friend, and they and his Executor should both have a key. About a fortnight ago he died. By a writing which he left boffind him, he directed! that the box should not be opened until live days n 'J ter his interment—that he should be buried wiln the greatest pomp—and that each poor man in town should receive anew suit of clothes and a florin. At last the day for opening the strong box arrived.

July 9, 1850. 18— “ ft Tread no Step Haokwards.” op M. S. TSSO.IiSo.\, n. I>., MACON, GEORGIA. IT’ tR a period of over thirteen years, it ha* teen the province of . llie undersigned, to present to the people of Georgia, and the surrounding States, the results of the use of innocent Vegetable Medicines, in the treatment and cure of disease, as contradistinguished from poisonous substances, to which from childhood, they have been accustomed, and to whose pernicious effects upon the constitution, many of them are living witnesses. The success which during this long series of years, has attended his administrations, has, in many instances, been such, as to over come the most inveterate prejudices in favor of the >ld order ol tilings, and to produce instead thereof, a conviction that evun in medicine, as , in other brandies of the physical sciences, new idea-- may be advanc ed, and results achieved, that our ancestors would l ave deemed im possible, but which our posterity, thanks to the enlightenment of a coming age, may iind easy of accomplishment. This succeds in curing diseases of the uvr-t hopeless character after alolther means had failed,and that too, in many instance,, without see ing the patient, has long been the subject ofgeneral remark, exhibiting as it docs, in hold relief the difference between restoring J case th.it has been absolutely abandoned-, and simply raising another, : bat hun dreds of others could cure. Such cases can be pointed out in almost every eoun'r in Ottvda. where some poor, dccrepid, helpless lieing, after testing everv h* al means without avail have sent off, as a dernier resort, a deseri? on of their diseases to a distance, in many instances hundreds of n.des, and received back those health restoring remedies that have restored them again to health and to society, to their own astonishment and their neighbors wonder, putting at naught the sneers of antagonistic interests, and adding new finger posts at every post office and cross- roads, pointing the way the city of refuge. Without subjecting himself to the charge of presumption, he would yet boldly say, that he firmly believes that nine-tenths of the so called incurable cufof in Georgia, are yet within the reach of medicine and can lie curej hv pursuing a proper couree of medication, with tiie ex ercise of neces.-ary care and perseverance, on the part of the patient, which in ail cases of a lingering character, are of the last importance. The great facilities fnrthis kind of treatment presented in the cheap postage system, has been taken advantage of by thousands who hap pily can indirectly attribute their present good health to that noble spe ciincn of liberal government; and there are thousands more who may reap the panic advantages, by simply pursuing a similar course. Let the afflicted if he cannot write him.-elf, get his neighbor to do it for him, give a history of bis Cate, age, habits, and symptoms, the snme as if talking to a physician. If able and it is convenient, enclose the fee ; if not convenient jest then, a due hill for the amount wiil answer, (this obriatts the ineonnenirnee of making accounts at great distances,) and if not able, pre-pay and mail the letter to his address, when medicines suitable to the case will be compounded and sent with full directions. The charge for treatment is only (§5) five dollars, monthly, a sum sufficiently small to obviate the fear of risk to any one, and yet suffi cient to preserve him from loss in his extensive administrations. This done, call at the post office in a reasonable time, and receive your medicines with as much precision as you would a bitter; pre pare and use them as directed, and persevere; report progress month ly, or oftencr, as may he necessary, and closely watch the progress of the cure. Having been long and extensively engaged in the treatment of dis cases peculiar to females, he would say that they may avail them selves of his knowledge, with the utmost confidence, in his prudence and integrity, so that in writing out their symptoms, they may express themselves with the necessary freedom. In some of the diseases of the renal and procreative system, the medicines being more costly, the eiiarge will be increased. Such raesas require personal attention, will be treated on libera terras in the city, where the nee,**r.ry accommodations can always be had. Those wishing further infonnV. ir. m regard to result, wiil address a post-paid letter to the undersig *—. who will immediately mail to the applicant such documents as new” disarm doubt. M. £.

Columbus, March gist, 1850 I —l y brows’” ‘ ECCENTRIC PROGRESSIVE POWER PRESS. r Pi IE advantages of this new POWER I'REt'F, and its superisrity J. over all others, are as follows: The power applied is multiplied 410 times, by the Lever and Eccen tric pully, that is, one hundred pounds power applied to the Lever will exert a force 94,000 pounds on the Cotton. The whole top of the bale box is open to receive the Cotton, and it may he 1 put a* near the Gin House as is desired. His three times a*powerful as a screw of 18 inches diameter, thathas a nine incii pitch of thread with the same length of Lever, and of course the horse has to walk but one third as far, for the reason that a lever is required hut one-third os long to do the same work. And further, the Press follower descends with much greater rapidity at the commencement o. the operation, when hut little power is required, which shortens the distance travelled by the horse, in proportion to the increased velocity of the follower at the start. This Press can be made very compact, and equally powerful, by using the wheel and axle, and can be so modified as to answer any purpose where a Press is necessary for manufacturing or domestic purposes. For Cotton it requires one-fourth less work to build, and three-fourths loss workto raise, than the screws, and if a cast iron Ec centric wheel is used, it will not be much over half the work to bitikl as a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Ilcmp, Hay, kc. it cannot be excelled. There is one-third less timber in this Press than in the crew, and it is certainly the cheapest ever built. The whole cost of the Irons will not exceed 315, which inny be had oftC. 11. Levy, of Macon, who is the only person atithosized to furnish hem. This sum is exclusive of freight and the cost of right louse the Press. If the Eccentric wheel is made of Iron, the cost will he 10 or§ls more for the Iron work, hut it will materially lessen the cost of labor on the wood work of the wheel, and will he the cheap est in the end. Any good Mechanic can construct the Press from the drawings and specifications which will accompany each right. I shall sell a single right at §lO, which sum can he sent by mail at my risk, provided the fact of sending is certified to by the Postmaster pf the place where the letter is mailed. Each right will be accompa oied by an engraving and a full description, so that any mechanic will neable to build the Press. Any communications, post-paid, will be bunctually attended to. _ A. D.

All lie would a;k for tin's remedy is a fair, impartial and pati tN trial, for the results lie entertains no apprehension. Up to the time of tiiis discovery, tho undersigned bad well stud..
