slAres and office*.
Premium lists for tho Fair can bo ob
tained upon application to the Secretary

I'nitod States, American, and Tremont
Hotels, besides numerous private boarding

by reduced rates of passage.
Trains will leave Atlanta for the Fair
Grounds every thirty minutes in the day,
during the 1‘ajr.
Spcriul arrangements will be made toi
lin' accommodation of the Press.
W/
A Perplkxino Phase or Ttn War.—
Prussia may bo inclined to treat for
peace; but tho perplexing question now
is, whom is she to treat with t King Wil
liam, we are told, will not recognize the
Republican government now controlling
France, and ii needed no authoritative
announcement to convince us that such
would be bis position. Nor can bo well
pause in tho prosecution of tho war, for
that would give Franco time to organize,
concentrate and recover from the demor
alization producod by the Prussian suc
cesses. The King must needs prosecute
the war vigorously and without flagging
until France empowers some other than
her present rulers to treat for peace.
This is equivalent to a necessity for Prus
sia to make a new government for
France, and the temper of tho French
people is not now such ns to justify the
anticipation that this can be done without |
more hard fighting. Prussia must put
aside or put down the Republic, for the
pcoplo of France are evidently not in
clined to do it. We may, therefore, innko
up our minds that the war will ho con
tinued unflaggingly, whatever peaceful
arguments diplomatist* may use. Their
armed intervention, or threats of armed
intervention, might have more effect.—
Put there is, we think, a stronger proba
bility of such intervention in favor of
MALE AND FEMALE INSTITUTIONS, j
Editor* Eiif/uirrr: Tho complimentary j
notice of “T," and the Rtrong endorse. :
ruont of my former article by the able !
“Divine* and Educators" of our city, de- |
servo my grateful acknowledgments.
Our city father*, with like appreciation, J
j are wisely considering the boat means by
! which these enterprises may bo secured,
j without serious detriment to your private
I or public funds. The resolutions offered
ut a recent meeting, praying the Legisla
ture of Georgia to confer Upon the City
Council of ColnmbnH the power and an-
thoiity to di: pose of tbe commons for edu-
i national purposes, to be thereafter Hub-
1 milled to the people fur ratification, was
| a judicious move. Columbus must have
room for expansion, if you would have
| her boundaries enlarged and her popula-
I wealth increased. r i he citizens
nro prepared to admit the commons of
trifling value, as a pasturage, in contrast
with the revenue they would yield for
building purposes. In the ratio they are
bought up and improved, will the revenue
of the eity bo increased ami the. burden
of taxation lessened.
Fellow-citizens, tho necessity for edu
cational advantages was never more preas-
I ing than at present, or mere sadly felt.—
I i will state, ns u mailer of gem-ral in-
... *• j formation, that in no period of our bis-
Prussia than in behalf of franco. Lu- L
rope may be jealous of Frusaiii H nggrun
dizement, but she is fearful of a Repub
lic in France. She had much rather aeo
I’niasia in possession of Alsace ami Lor
raine, and tho controlling state of n uni
ted Germany, than to see the war end
with a ropublio in France to disturb the
peace of every crowned head in Europe.
We have como to tho conclusion that,
whatever lnuy be the settlement as re
gards the boundary line, the war w ill end
in the overthrow of the French Republic
—by tho power of J’russin if that alone
is sufficient, or by an European alliance if
that is required.
Tho Report of the Commissioner of
Agriculture, for the month of Heptemhor,
adheres to the estimates of nn increased
cotton crop, made in former numbers,
it luontioiiH the complaints of loss from
rust in the eastern cotton Slates, and
from worms ami heavy rains in some of
the western, but estimates nevertheless
an increase of .1 per cent, in tho produc
tion iu North and South Carolina and
Georgia, 1 r* per cent, in Florida, 8 ju r
cent, in Louisiana, 10 per cent, in Arkan
sas, 9 per cent, in Texas, and about nn
average in Miasmsippi, TcnnwHsuo and
Missouri. The report says, there is little
in the figures of onr reporters to indicate
a decreased yield of cotton, and favora
ble weather henceforth must insure con
siderable increase.

Alsace niitl Lorraine no longer exist on

country into departments, m 1790, having
ohangi 1 entiroly the nomenclature of tho
diffcreiit rctji.ms. Instead of being com
posed of 32 Inrg'oand 8 small provinces.
France, nt tho commencement of the great
revolution, was laid out into K) depart-
ini'iit*. The old province of Alsace* was
•livid".1 into tho department* of Hunt Lhin
Upper Rhinei and Bus Rhiu (Lower
Rhino.; Hunt Rhin iu 18ff(» had a popu
lation of .130,28.1 soul*, aud Bus Khm a
population of .183,970; so that Alsace hns
a population of 1.110,2.1.1. Tlio territory
called Alsace originally formed part of
Celtic Gaul, uml passr-d with the rest of
Gaul under tho Roman yoke. Tho Franks
seized it under Clovis, and after his dis
membered territories wore united under
Charlemagne it w as included in the empire
of that Entire. From 94u to lffls AUaee
l>"loi;ged to Austria, but by tho treaties of
Munster, in lfi4>, and ot Ryhwick, in
Iff '7. nearly the whole territory iva* ceded
to France. After th** revolution in 17*9,

ries of Montbrlliard and Mulhaiiscu, whs
acquired by France.
Lorraine m 179U was divided into the
department* *»f tho Moselle, Meuse, Vns-
ges and Meurthc. It had iu 1 “ffff n popu-
lit ion of l.ffni, r.i.1 souls. Lorraine orig
inally Lottmirmgia was so called from

and f>>r a long time * xisted as a kingdom,

pire. It afterwards became tho Duchy of
Lorraine, the po*ResKion of which was long
the subject of contention among the ruhis
