: LOCAL AFFAIRS. THE DICKENS PARTY. A Success and Brilliant Scene* Splendid Aasemblage of Intelligence end Beauty. The Dickens party, Jaat evening, at the Kimball House, was, beyond all doubt, the mo at successful afihir cl the kind we here ever attended. • The crowd of guests was enormous, filling the ball room, par lors and arcades with elegantly dressed ladle* and gentlemen. Besides the presence of numbers of oar own ladies, many visitors from other places were on hand, and it was Impossible, during the evening, to pass through the ball room without meeting several beautiful faces which belonged to some sister com munity. The toilettes of those gnests who did not take characters were elegant, most appearing in foil bail dresses. THE CHABACTEEg. According to the arrangements of the committee, the gnests who took characters assembled in a private room, and marched from thence into the hall room. This occurred shortly after nine o’clock. They were gracefully Introduced by Colonel 6. B. Adair. By some unfortunate oversight, these ladies and gentle men were not required! to give their names, thus ren dering it Impossible for ns to obtain a complete list. We are under obligations to the committee of the Ladies Memorial Association for the assistance they afforded, hat they could not identify all. Those that we did obtain were as follows: Mrs. Turpin represented the “Widow” In David Copperfleld. Mr Paul Bleckly—“Bamaby Budge.” Mr Frank Gordon—“Tom Pinch.” aftini Lucy Erwin—“Bnth Pinch.” Miss Mattie Phillips—“Dora.” Miss Maine Clayton—“Sophy Wtcklea.” Miss Kate Clayton—“Barbara.” Mr Smith Clayton—“The Curious Man." Miss Libbie Toiler—“Jeannette.” Mr Miller Grieve—“Grandfather.” Miss Tallulah Hannan—Miss Betsey Trotwood Mr. Willie PhllUpB—Dick 8wlveller. Miss Lnlie Brown—Little Blossom. Mr. Eddie Grant—Charles Bates. Mr. Jimmie Patterson—Kit. Capt. Henry Jackson—Barkis. Miss Turpin—Peggotty. Hiss Minnie Force—Susan Kipper. Mr. Djkeman—David Coperfleld. Mr. Willie Nutting—David Copperfleld. Mr. Cap. Joiner-Toots. Miss Belle Alexander—The Marchioness. Mr. Boring—Simon Tipetaff. Miss Lena Keese—Little Nell. Miss Hamilton—Little Nell. Mrs. Edwards—Mrs Jolly. Miss Nannie PhllUpB, > — MiesAddieSchwaiz, f“8 Twins. Miss Kattle Briggs—The Marchioness. Miss Alexander, of Knoxville—The Same. Mr. Hugh Gordon—Sam Weller. Miss Lizzie Overby—Mary. Itjwould be worse than useless for ns to attempt any extended description of the costnmcs of the above ladles and gentlemen. To attempt it would only betray onr Ignorance on all toilette matters. AU were so well conceived, and so skillfully made, tli-t very many cba-acters were recognized as soon as they entered the room. Some studied their charactr rs.and maintained them throughout the evening. In this connection we feci compelled to make men tion of “Aunt Betsey Trotwood,” who conducted herself with fearful stateliness and propriety dnring the entire ball. If any of the cliaractere hare been overlooked in the above list they may know that we exhausted every source of Information, and what deficiency there Is could Hot be remedied. THE BALE. The ball was simply wbat all balls are wherein Col. Nichols lends a helping hand. It conld not have been more pleasant. Tne music was famished by Freyer’s celebrated Orchestra, and to ita witching strains the dancers whirled through the merry hoars. The novel sight of these various costumes moving through the revera! figures is one that will long he remembered. AHUEISG INCIDENT. Sometime after twelve o’clock, when the floor was covered with dancers in all the fascinating intricacies of a quadrille, euddenlj the gaslight flickered omi nously, slowly paled into twilight, showing a shadowy carnival of ghosts and then faded into black darkness, vocal, however, with the music. It leems that some lady had thrown her shawl over the meter and thus the gas was turned out. The trouble was soon remedied by Colonel Nichols, who gallantly rushed to tho rescue, and soon, in a blaze of light, the dancers renewed their revelry. It may not be improper to add that Colonel Nichols has acted with great liberality, giving the use of hit ball room and half the gas to the festivity. A WORKING COUStlTTEE Two much praise cannot be rendered to the com mittee of ladies that have engineered this most sno cessfnl festivity. These ladleB are Mrs.Dr. Johnson, Mrs. Phillips, Mrs. Clayton, Mrs. Pratt, Mrs. Edwards Mrs. Fox, Mrs. Tuller and Mrs. Gen. Walker. Mr. Herbs: also gave untiring and valuable aid.

Front his boyhood till now, a scrupulous fulfilment of all his contracts, PATINO CP PCLXI everything that could be legally or honor* ably demanded of him, hat been a peculiar characteristic of General Foster. He was QUARTER MASTER GEHERAX. or the Stale of Georgia dnring the late war, and won the praise of the people as a faithful pnblle servant in those times of trouble and demoralization. When the war ended, he was DOUBLY UXFOBTUKATS, besides the losses which befell him and ail others alike, his health failed, and for years he was unable to attend to any basinets; and during the war be had endorsed largely for friends, many of whom- wound up in bankruptcy and left him to pay their paper. Unlike some others, he didnot seek to avoid paying there debts, fant resolved to take up all the paper to which he had pat his name. He regarded A SECURITY DEBT, A DEBT OP HONOR. He had a dependant family—wife and daughters— who relied upon him alone, and though be was pros trate, his faith had not failed nor hie resolution weakened. In 1867he went to Diwson and engaged ex tensively In making and dealing XX LUMBER. Early in the spring of 1869, when the Macon and Brunswick Ballroad was in four miles of this place, he moved his mills to this point. He bonght Umber privileges in a large amonnt of land, and bonght thirty acres in fee, telling the people he was going to BUILD UP A TOWE on it' He first erected a Utile shanty and then his large steam mills. That shanty—tho first building ever pnt up on this spot—is still standing, it is an object of cariosity and ought to bs preserved as an historic landmark. In October, 1870, the Legislature organized A NEW COUNTT from portions of Pulaski, Telfair and Montgomery, fixing thia spot as the county site, and General Foster has had the pleasure of seeing the small settlement which he planted over four years ago grow np into a handsome village of sixty residences and five hundred inhabitants. Two New York gentlemen, Mr. Eastman and Mr. Hodge, own Immense bodies of lumber lands in this region, and the new town and county wue named In honor of them—the former donating a fine lot, on which the latter erected the handsomest court house in Georgia outside of onr large cities, presenting the whole to the connty. General Foster, when, the war closed, haa a very large fortune, in the way of the first-class property, and he embarked In the lumber business to pay his debts and save this properly. He has fully accom plished his object. His wife and daughters entered heroically into the spirit which actuated him, cheer- Inliy foregoing their accustomed comforts, and living very economically in a cheap, rongh cottage in this place. While he personally superintended his operations ontslde, one of his daughters kept his books and was bis cashier. His trade has been'Immense. Many ship loads from his mills have gone to New York. Bio Janeiro, Havara. and elsewhere. He has again paid the lost cent; haa sold oat his mills, bonght & hand some residence In Gadsden, Ala., where lie and bis family will remove In a short time, to enjoy the ample fortune which they have taved intact by a few yearB of toil and self-denial. Truly God help a those who help themselves. Audi moat not omit to mention that MB. ANTHONT MURPHY. another of Atlanta’s enterprising citizens, has a very large and valnaWe steam mill here, at which he saws some 10,600 feet, more or less, of lumber per day. HU Uttl e mill for tawing laths will make sixty per minute, and keeps two strut boys, quick In the mo tion, as busy as they can be to feed it. TbU section Is considered one of the healthiest in the world. On the large streams and in the vicinity or large swamps, chills are common; but the entire picey woods away from tcese is considered perfectly healthy. The winters are delightful, and numerous invalids from the North have settled here. Oh the Wing. Eastman, Dodge County, Ga., Sept, 27, 1873. Editors Constitution : Your readers ought to know something of this place, therefore I write thU letter. It is in the “piney wooda” of Georgia, at a place, which. In this wide flatconntry Is considered elevated. The growth In this section Is mostly pines, as Ur as yon can see, and the sandy soil looks very poor to an up country man, though the scrub cattle get fat on the wire grass in summer .nd fall. In the spring of 18C9 GENERAL IRA R. POSTER cat the first stick and set down the first peg, in the establishment of this pretty village. He is one of Georgia’s self-made men-a good citizen, well and favorably known a former resident of Atlanta, who ttlll owns a large amonnt of real estate in and around the Gate City He is an energetic and enccesafnl man, sixty-two years old, but vigorous for his sge. He was bom in Spartanburg District, S. C. When approaching man- hood, he hired his time from his father to go to school, agreeirg to pay a certain sum per annum till he should be or age. The teacher credited him for his tuition and a kind fimlly for board. He after- wards taught school till he made money and paid off all his debts to the last cent. He then studied medicine, paying for board and In struction by his own labor, tilt he became a practic ing physician. He came first to Oglethorpe connty, then to Carroll, and when the Indians were removed, he went with the tide tlf THE GOLD REGION and located In Dahlonega, where he successfully fol lowed hU profession accumuUting a handsome sum of money, which he invested in merchandizing with a partner who stole and ran away with everything, leaving numerous debts against the firm, of which Dr. Foster knew nothing till he was called on to pay them. This was a discouraging blow, but he again went to work manfully, and in a few years made money enough to pay off every claim, to the uttermost far thing, and have a competency left. —rr*** A VOICE FBOIl TEXAS. A Constitution Subscriber Tells A bout Crops and. Things. Cusseta, September 10th, 1873. Editors Constitution, Atlanta, Ga.: Sms—As it may be of some interest to some cf your readers to hear from the northeastern portion of the Lone Star State. I have concluded, to give yon a short history of the crops In this country. Cotton, as a general thing, is abont half a crop and in a great many places nearly an entire failure, caused, by late planting and plant ing over, nearly everybody had to plant over, more or less cotton and corn, from cold weather in the spring, and hail storms, etc. AU through May, Jane and July it wasvery rainy, sothatthe farmer conld not work bis crop; consequently the grass took it and be bad to tnmont part, and that which he worked was very near half ent np when Jayed by. In August the boU worm made its appearance, and the like of damage by boU worm never was known in this country before. Cotton that hid fair for a bale per acre tbree weeks ago, wUl not make more than one-third or a bale. About ten days ago the caterpillar made their appearance and has very near stripped the cotton of its leaves. One of my neighbors that planted about the 21st of May will not make more than a bale to ten acres. He has in cot- ton about 159 acres. I have heard from different portions of the State and cropB are very short—also in Arkansas and a portion of Louisiana, that I have heard from, com la very sorry, caused by not being worked; not enough made to do then. Only in some portions where they were more favored with good weather. Wheat was not very good, but oats very good. Potatoes and peaB are sorry In consequence of a severe drouth on ns now. Well, a few words about onr country and people. We have a good country, good water, good land, good freestone water, both wells and springs, plenty of branches, cierks and rivers. Onr lanl, when fresh, will with anything like a good crop year, make a bale per acre when weU cultivated, but that is treme good crops. About two bales to tbree acres is an average crop for fresh land. We have good so ciety, good schools, good churches, and good preach ing, and the State will soon be Democratic. The most of the sickness in this country is chills and fever. We have good fruit and abundant of yonng orchards. Freedmen are very lazy, and will not work much. We need a law to regulate labor in this coun try. Your obedient servant. A- L. Griffin. SHOT TO DEATH. An Awfal Tragedy. Dalton, Ga., September 29, 1873. Editors Constitution: A terriblo affair happened here laat night at abont 11 o’clock. A colored man, by name Hilliard Quinn, (a barber having a shop in the Nat'onal Hotel), was deliberately shot by a man named Zack Calaway, from Mnrrsy connty. Qoinn was cn his way home from church, when Calaway rode np to him on horseback, and asked him who he was, and without any known provocation shot him through the breast. The wound proved mor tal. The poor fellow died this afternoon abont three o’clock. Before his death Judge McCatchln took his dying declaration—which was that Calaway shot him and that he knew of no reason for his doing so. The colored boy, I am Informed, has a good char acter, and commanded the respect of evetybody—he being sober and industrious. A warrant is in. the hinds of an officer for the ar rest of Calswsy. His wherabonts Is not known, though it is believed he will soon be in the hands of officers.; Tke national Hotel is crowded, but they soon man* aged to give me a first class room. W. UP THE STATE HOAD. Calhonn—Ita Churches, Basinet etc.—Crops and Other Matters. Calhoun, Gordon County. Ga., I September 30. 1873. J Editors Constitution: I have had reason, of a convincing character, con Tindng beyond question, that the Superintendent and manager of the Western and Atlantic Ballroad. have one conductor that cannot he swerved from his line of dnty—no begging will make him break orders— and that man is John Moore. On coming here, I found myself on his train, and on making my inten tions known to him, of stopping at Calhonn, he gave me to understand, in a very gentlemanly way, that he conld not stop, as it was against orders, and it evidently caused him regret. It need not, for I conld but admire his squire and firm nation. Hail- road accidents and mishaps wilt he of rare occurrence when conductors and engineers strictly carry out instructions. The Western and Atlantic Hoad, under its present management, is a safe road to travel, on.. My being obliged to go on to Dalton, gave yon early the news Item of the mnrdtr of the colored barber, Quinn, by one Zack Calaway. Before leaving them I ascertained; he did not intend to kill Quinn, bnt another colored man by the name of Bob Pullman, who bad offended^him by making some remark about his condnct in Dalton on a former occasion. The citizens feel very Indignant and they are determined to have him arrested. On my way here another exciting eoesode occurred which sets all the passengers In a flatter. Jast as the cars were leaving the Dalton depot a Mrs. Jerry R. Birch, with a very yonng Infant In her arms, Jumped on the cars, stating that her hus band was driven away from his home, fourteen miles from Dalton (in Murray connty) on Friday night last, by certain parties, and that late yesterday afternoon |he word had been brought to her that they had mnrdred him one and a half miles ;below Tilton. On reaching that point I made en quiry of those standing abont the depot but none of them had heard anything of it. The poor woman was somewhat relieved, bat yet net convinced, and at once started off at a rapid rate, carrying her little one in her arms, towards the man’s house where the killing was said to have occurred. From her straight forward story there had evidently boena neighborhood quarrel of a very malignant character, growing ont of some thoughtless remark, it was claimed, her husband had made. I say it must have beep malignant and of a determined character (if what the father stated was true, and he appeared truthful), and that was that these parties had, within the last twelve days, been to her house three nights hunting for her hnsband. CALHOUN. This is a place of business—healthy, growing, and its inhabitants are sociable and exceedingly free from prejudice and narrow-minded selfishness. They in vite immigration. They have several merchants and produce operators, whose sales and purchases reach from fif iy to one hundred thousand dollars annually. I cannot aay positively which are the largest opera tors, but Messrs. Boaz & Barrett, Fos'er & Hartawk, B. G. Boaz,. Marshall & Middleton, G. R. Bosz, W. Flnlry A Bro., etc., are among the honest dealers, and wbat is still to their, and the peoples advantage, this grain is almost entirely purchased at d ground up by G. W. Oglesby, the owner of a fine water mill, sit uated about one mile frem the village. Indeed, he purchases from first hands nearly as much as all of the othsr dealers. Thus the money is kept at home and turned over and over instead of being at once sent abroad. CORN. The surplus corn raised in Gordon connty in excess of noma demand is from one hundred and twenty-five to one hundred and sixty thousand bushels. One planter sel'e yearly notfar from eight or nine thou sand bushels. His lands are mostly rich bottoms, and he claims to average forty bushels to the acre. A big average I grant, yet I believe wltU a liberal nee of fertilizers and the changing of crops theee bottoms can be made to-yield that amount. This coi beyond question one of the best in the State, having the largest amonnt of creek, river and valley bottom lands. - . WHEAT. At least sixty thousand bushels a-e raised one year with another over and above whatis needed to feed the inhabitants. It la earnestly claimed that the gen eral average per acre ie twelve bushels, (if ten they can consider it the banner connty.) OATS, TEAS, CLOVER. Each cf these products are raised to a greater extent than in moat of the counties I have visited. ■» COTTON. List year not over <00 hales were raised in the connty, while this year, on careful calculation, it is believed from 2,800 to 3,500 hales will be raised, and they are even expecting to send much of it away by water- on a steamboat now being built at Bcsacca (in this connty) to run on the Oostanolaand Cooaawatee Elvers. EXPECTATIONS Are strongly entertained of soon making available the three shoals near this place in a horse shoe in the Ooetanlola River. The proposition Is to dig a canal three-quarters of a mile long, catting off the bend and carrying the body or the water in a direct line. The fall obtained will be from fifteen to twenty feet, and the body of water enough to carry several large factories, while the work can be done with but little expense. RICHARD PETERS STOCK FARM Is situated two miles ont on what is known as Ooth- calaga Valley. It is a large farm, well fenced, and in every respect well improved. He has taken pains to stock it with several of the beat classes of cattle, cashmere goats, Berkshire and Essex hogs, merino, cotawool and flat tall sheep, and a very great variety of chickens. The care and management of the place and stock is in charge of A. Roff. CHURCHES. The Methodist as well as the Ihptlst have just completed new churches. They are neat structure*, and would be pleasant to look upon if one of them had not an unsightly sort of lighthonse looking stee ple, said to be octagon in shape, though it appears a abort way off to be round. WAGON FACTORY. Z. T. Gray keeps employed from six to ten men, turns off seventy-five to eighty wagons and haggles every twelve months. They are much thought of by tho people all over the “Neck of Woods.” SCHOOLS. Their academy is their pride. It is only necessary to question its being equal to the Atlanta High Schools to get a fuse. J. L. Milbnrn la principal, and Mrs. Tarver his ar sis tank The average number of scholars is from seventy-five to cne hundred. It is, I am satisfied, a first-class institution. THE GOOD TZHPLIBS. They have done a good work here. Their lodge numbers over one hundred active workers, and many who were given to their cups are now strictly temper ance men. 'HOTELS. There is no poasible ex-use for so live and prosper ous a place having tnch poor accommodations. Travelers either pass by or make it conveniently only to stay from one to the next train. ' SLATE QUARRY. I accidently learned that on ex-Govemor Brown’s farm (eight miles from here) there has lately been discovered a elate quarry of excellent quality. W, GAy, McClejky & Co.—This firm is the successor of E. H. Gay & Sons, and are doing business on Feachtree street. Their trade is chiefly retail dry goods, doing bat a small jobbing trade. The gente- tlemen compos lag the firm are well kn.wn to the < it izens of Atlanta and surrounding country. Their host of friendaand customers, coupled with the fact that thelr’s la tha only Important retail store on Peachtree street, north of Marietta street, cauies them to do one of the largest retail business in. their jine in the city. ' “ • ' ‘ ' The building occupied by them is a large; near and handsome s’ore, thirty-three feet wide by one hun dred feet deep, situated on the same spot as the one formerly occupied by their predecessors. The old store house was renovated and enlarged some two years ago in order to make room for the increasing demands of their trade,and affords every convenience. hasty glance at the line of goods kept by them reveals the fact that the gentlemen composing the firm and their ti associates thoroughly understand the .necessities "cf the public, and arc prepared to supply them. The average amonnt in hand ranges from twenty to thirty thousand dollars in valne, consisting of all the staple goods, notions, dress goods, hits, caps, boots and shoes, selected wiln the greatest care and judgment. There is lees “dead stock" probably here than there Is In aay retail store In the city.

Creamer insisting upon speaking, and charging that the Committee on Credentials had been packed. Amid the confusion a reces3 was taken. • ~ ; * The Convention re-assembled at 4:30. Gov. Seymour entered the hall and was re ceived with great applause, the members rising. The committee on credentials re- Drted in favor of the admission of the ammany delegates from New York. The report was adopted, whereupon the Apollo Hall delegates withdrew. The permanent organization was then effected by the election of Horatio Seymour as President. On taking the chair he said that we met at a time when an unusUal interest was felt in the action of the nomi nation convention. The disturbed state of finances, the heavy burden of taxation, and the frequent exposure of corruptions, exfcite the attention of the public the character of those who are placed be- rd&hem as Candidates for office. Party ties ill not hold voters to support any who are not fe t to be fitted for public stations by in* tegrity and capacity. The real object of this Convention must be to place in nomination men of the brightest character and capacity to conduct state affairs if they can elect them. The. gains made by the Democratic party atthe election last spring show popular events have set iaour favor.. These town elections also prove that great numbers of those who have hitherto acted with the Re publicans now intend to act with us if we give them candidates who deserve their support. In a large number of towns and counties in this State there are two minorities ■Liberal Republicans, who cannot go with the Administration, and members of the Democratic party. They find when they go together they become the majority. Acting on this fact at the spring elections they united on local candidates, having regard only to fitness and strength, and the result was a gain of nearly one hundred towns and control of a number of counties heretofore opposed to us. Let us act in the same spirit of good sense and patriotism, and we shall not only carry counties of New York and thus gain golitical strength in all its sections, but shall also put our great State into its rightful position of the stronghold of those who seek to bring back our government to its ancient simplicity, accuracy and constitutional ac tion. As this is a State and local election, we are relieved from discussing many sub jects, in regard to which there are differences of opinion. Our great absorbing duty is to carry our State and to give it a better admin istration and a more fair and honest administration. To . that point we must direct our thoughts. To gain this end we must put in nomination a ticket made up .of men with records of clean characters, pure and capacity uudobted; that we shall, when our work is done that it will be elected because we shall know it ought to be elected. If we do this those citizens who gave us local victories last spring will continue to act with us, and will give us a victory in the titate this autumn. Gentlemen, bear in mind, in all your actions, that a good ticket makes certain triumph. After the appointment of a Committee ou Resolutions, a recess was taken till evening Summary of State News.
