BSiy” The papers in the South that have been agitating against the “new depar ture,” profess to believe that the results of the late Northern elections, and wliat they call the refusal of the New York Democrats to “depart,” have killed the movement. Very well. And now good policy— inseparable from common sense—requires that they should “dry up.”—Columbus [Oa.) Enquirer. " Common sense,” which usually ad vises “good policy,” requires that those editors should "dry up” who attempted so fatally to mislead the people. £©*The Memphis Avalanche sees in the recent elections in Ohio and Pennsyl vania the determination of the people of the Northern States to make a finality of the constitutional amendments, as affirm ing the results of the war, so decisively expressed, and with tho aid of Demo cratic votes, that even The Atlanta. .Sun ought to see its folly and abandon it.— Nashville Banner. Being unable to see things through the clouded “spees” used by the Mem phis Avalanche and the Nashville Banner, The Son, as yet has nothing to abandon. Looking through its own old-fashioned time-honored, storm-tried and well- proven Democratic glasses The Son is able to see enough to attribute tho re suit of the elections in Ohio and Penn sylvania to the dangerous, foolish and unnecessary question of the “New De* parturo” sprung within the Democratic party, at a most inopportune time, and supported by the Memphis Avalanhce and the Nashville Banner, to the great detri ment of the Democratic party. 3u The Presidential ipse dixit come in due time, and several of the counties of South Carolina are under martial law. The people of those counties do not know what is in store for them. They are liable to arrest at any time and with out any definite charge against them. The whim of a Radical official is all the excuse that is necessary for dragging a man from his home, and throwing him into a prison with common felons. And for such outrages there is no redress Lewis made subordinate to the power of the sword. The door of the temple o! justice is closed. Tho people have to suffer and endnre, and be as patient as they can. There is no redress, and can be none until a return to sense shows the American people how rapidly their liberties are departing. The North can look quietly on and see these things done in South Carolina; but the people will learn that the principle which pur poses to subject South Carolina, is a principle which may subvert the liberties of the people of Massachusetts, or Ohio, This imperial ukase, from the head cen ter of centralism, is a direct and antici pated result of Congressional legislation, which the New Departurists “accept” as final, and to which they are willing to crook the pregnant hinges of the knee, and lift up no voice in rebuke or con demnation Tho State Rond Lessees. There was, yesterday, a meeting of the Directors of the "Western and Atlantic Railroad Company, in this city.

The banking house of A. M. More land contemplate establishing a branch of their business here in a short time. Mr. Moreland has been in the city for several days. 4th. Messrs. Marshall A Burge, exten sive wholesale dealers in clothing, dry goods, etc., also intend soon to open a branch of their house in this city. 5th. Edwin Bates A Co., we believe, have already mode arrangements to es tablish their house in this city. Atlanta is bound to be one of the best wholesale markets for goods of all kinds south of New York. We are a commer cial people, and this city is, and must continue to be, a commercial city. A car load of convicts passed through the city yesterday. They were being carried from the Cherokee Railroad to the Air Line. An old gentleman, named Wootten, who lived near the Rolling Mill, was run over and crushed to death by the return ing train from the Fair Grounds, yester day afternoon. Observing the train ap proaching him, he stepped over, as he thought, to the cleared track, but, by miscalculation, he encountered the danger he sought to escape. Failing eyesight probably prevented him from perceiving the approaching engine. About 5 o’clock yesterday evening two ‘boys in blue” had a regular set-to fist fight. One was knocked down, and con siderably beat up. The police did not arrive in time to arrest either. Governor Bullock has not made a sin gle move upon the board (openly) since he returned. He seems to be as quiet as the grave. Very few see him; nobody speaks of him specially. He is, no doubt, trying hard to lay his pipes deep, and bi exceedingly sly about it. About a dozen men in Jackson county were lately arrested, charged with Ku Klnxism, and brought here. The Grand Jury of the United States Court ignored the charges, and they have gone home. The Jury found true bills against the following named persons, residing in Gwinnett county: Bonaparte Allen, Asa McMillan, Mathew Brown, Willis Brown, Melvin Kennedy, and Allen J. Wages. These men are out on bail. Two men from Walton county, named respectively Fulker and Rich, are in jail, awaiting the action of the Grand Jury. Mrs. Rusk, a widow lady of Cherokee county, residing near Brush Mountain has a goose known to be over thirty-seven years old. It was presented to her by her mother-in-law soon after the mar riage of herself with her husband, now deceased, and has been in her possession ever since. She is becoming gray, like a gander—her dark colored feathers be ing nearly white. She is healthy and in good condition, apparently as much so as any of the flock with which she goes. She still lays eggs, but for the last few years they will not hatch. Remann, of Goodyear A Co., put the beer on both ladies and gentlemen yes terday. It was drawn from kegs manu factored in Atlanta, from wood grown in the city. The beer was delightful, and drew a large audience. Miles Turpin ! was the orator. Hartford, October 17.—The North American Insurance Company has been assigned to Wm. C. Hastings. Philadelphia, October 17.—Butler, in his lecture at the Academy of Music, on the Treaty of Washington, held that concessions made by the treaty were hu miliating to all Americans. New Orleans, October 17.—Governor Warmothwrite3 to the Parish judges that he is convinced that the Louisiana Levee Company is unable to meet the expecta tion of the public, by preparing for the fall andspring ri$e, and it now rests with the Parish authorities to take measures to protect themselves. Montgomery. October 17.—The Ku- Klux Committee, recently In session at Huntsville, is here. It goes hence to De- mopolis and thence to Washington. Cincinnati, October 17.—Eighty Cath olic children arrived to-day from Chicaf go. They are committed to the care o the Bishop. San Francisco, October 17.—A pub lic meeting has decided to send $100,000 to Chicago, and the balance to the Wis consin and Michigan sufferers. A Chinese restaurant keeper has been killed by his Chinese waiters. Long John, a saloon keeper, has been killed in cold blood, by a customer. The murderer was arrested. Salt Lake, October 17.—Brigham Young plead not guilty. No excite ment. Young appeared improved in health. New York, October 17.—The revenue officers, supported by Federal soldiers, raided through the Fifth Ward of Brook lyn, after six o’clock last night and met with but little resistance. They captur ed several illicit stills and other pro perty. The Hei'ald special from Gloucester says the schooner Horton was taken from Guysboro harbor, Nova Scotia by a party of men from Gloucester. The Horton is now due at Gloucester. It it is stated that a British gunboat has been sent in pursuit of the schooner with the inten tion of recapturing her. An American gunboat has gone to prevent her recap ture in American waters. The affair, it is believed, will be of great gravity. Seventy Insurance Companies have suspended. One thousand United States troops were in the raid on the Brooklyn still. The property seized is valued at from $50,000 to $75,000. Memphis, October 17.—Captain Hous ton, of the steamboat Hester, sues Gen eral Forrest and others in the Federal Court for arms destroyed some years ago by disguised men. Washington, October 17.—The Attor ney General has a dispatch from North Mississippi stating that five Ku-Klux, with their disguises complete, have been captured. Three-quarters of a million in revenue stamps have been found safe in the Gov ernment vault at Chicago. The following was received to-day: Chicago, October 17. Hon. G. P. Boutwell, Secretary of the Treasury: Three banks saved; are paying every dollar on demand. A good feeling prevails. (Signed,) H. R. Hurlbut, Comptroller of Currency. The cotton returns of October are no more favorable than those of the pre ceding months. In no State is tho aver age of September fully sustained. The general average of condition in the first week of the present month is 76 per cent, against 80 per cent, in September. In some sections in the Mississippi valley and in Texas, improved prospects are re ported, while the-appearance of testi mony in the Southwest, as well as on the Atlantic coast, favors a further reduction of the expected yield. The percentage of condition in the several States is as follows: North Carolina, 80; South Caro lina, 75; Georgia, 72; Florida. 73; Ala bama, 75; Mississippi, 76; Louisiana, 73; Texas, 72; Arkansas, 82; Tennessee, 94. The injuries reported are from rust, shedding of bolls prematurely; sufficient low temperature to check the develop ment of bolls in more Northern latitudes; floods and inundations in Florida and Georgia; sprouting or rotting of bolls from rains and drought in the section west of Georgia, and the boll and army worms in portions of the Mississippi and the Northwestern States. It does not appear that the losses from insects are general or very serious. With a few isolated exceptions, drought should be credited with a larger propor tion of the depreciation, than any other assigned cause, notwithstanding the fact cotton endures lack of moisture better than other crops. Present indications do not point to a crop of more than three million bales, and if the remaining sea son should be unfavorable for the de velopment and gathering of the fibre, smaller result must be accepted. Judge Chose is presiding at the Su preme Court, which commenced a special term yesterday. Gen. Balloeli, paymaster of the Freed- meu’s Bureau, has been suspended for irregularities. His arrest has been or dered, but is withheld for explanation. Rumors of defalcation are rife. A run is progressing on the Freed- men’s Bank, growing out of the reported defalcation of Gen. Balloeli. A proclamation has been issued which after many whereases, suspends the writ of Habeas Corpus in Sp irtanburg, York, Marion, Chester, Laurens, Newberry, Fairfield, Lancaster, A Chesterfield coun ties, of South Carolina. The suspen sion extends to arrest by the U. S. Marshal, his deputies, any military offi cer of the United States, or any soldier or citizen acting under the order of said Marshal, deputy, or such military officer within the said counties, charged with any violation of the Ku-Klux act of Con gress, during the continuance of the said suspension. Washington, October J.8.— The Secre tary of War directs commanding officers to give such aid to the Wisconsin suffer ers as they deem advisable. Judge J. J. Martin, Auditor of the Post Office Department, leaves for Ala bama, aud will be absent for a month. There are assurances that there are no injurious complications in General Bal- loch’s accounts, and the announcement that there was a run on the Freedmen’s Bank is incorrect. Chicago, October 18.—The number of inquests held up to date amount to nine ty-two. Good order continues. Lumber is selling at old prices. An attempt at extortion for lumber has igno- miniously failed. All the banks are operating. The de posits exceed the withdrawals. Drafts on the savings banks are very light. Many contracts for rebuilding have been consummated. Some of the con tracts involve entire blocks. The Tribune, this morning, in a point ed leader, deprecates an attempt to take business below 12th street, in the South Division, and says there can be no ques tion about the return of business to the burnt district. New York, October 18.—The Colum bia triumphed again over the Lizonia, by one-fourth of a mile. The failure of the Atlantic Fire Insur ance Company, of Brooklyn, is announc ed here. The Chicago losses are far greater than was supposed. The value of the property seized by the Revenue officers, at Brooklyn yester day, supported by 1,000 Federal soldiers, is only $11,000. Charleston, October 18.—One death from yellow fever has been reported in the last twenty-four hours. A subscription is being made up among the citizens here for the Chicago suf ferers. Trenton, October 18.—Chancellor Denies, in the injunction against the lease to the Pennsylvania Railroad, sus tains the right to lease the United Com panies of New Jersey. Warsaw, October 18.—Gridley, a des perado, killed a man named Worth, by shooting him from an upper room of a tavern. Gridley was arrested, and the citizens shot him in Ms cell. Milwaukee, October 18.—The schoon er Windslow was capsized. The crew was saved, but the wife and two daugh ters of Paul Kingsley, a passenger, were drowned. Pittsburgh, October 18.—In view of the result of the recent elections in Penn sylvania and Ohio, the Pittsburgh Post comes out to-morrow for Thos. A. Scott, for President, as the man to carry Penn sylvania against Grant by an overwhelm ing majority. San Francisco, October 18.—The bark Hammonia has arrived from Shanghai with 9800 pakages of tea, which have been shipped over land to the East. London, October 18.—Advices from Hague report dissatisfaction with the Government. A mob stoned the resi dence of the Minister of Colonies. Troops are quartered in the city to pre vent further demonstrations. City of Mexico, October 10.—The pronunciameuto attempted here on the first was promptlv suppressed. Diaz is reported to be on the road be tween Puebla and Vera Cruz with 2,000 men. The national forces at Orizaba will march against him. OGLETHORPE PARK. The Fair a Grand Success The Park Crowded with tors. For the first time during the progress of the Fair, the city was crowded, yes terday, with strangers. Every train that arrived was filled, and early in the day it was apparent that there would be a big crowd at the Park. The day was bright ■ , . . „ ., _ . and exceedingly pleasant, the streets and [ * ^ Aiyra T the Park were free from dust; in fact everything was. most propitious, and everybody seemed disposed to turn out, to enjoy themselves and see the Fair. Train after train, crowded with pas- Visi Mr. Finney also exhibits quite a number of vehicles manufactured by the Kimball Brothers, of Boston. Messrs. McBride A Smith, of this city, make a superb display of vehicles of their own manufacture. Mr. A. B. Landis, ,of Mount Joy, Penn sylvania, exhibits a magnificent carriage for one or two horses. It is, perhaps, as handsome a vehicle as any on the ground. He also exhibits some buggies. Mr. Lan dis is hero in person. The factory he represents was-established in 1824. In tho second story of Floral Hall we find, a most interesting show. Here we have a large amount of vegetables, trees, fruits, shrubbery, evergreens, and various other plants for use and ornament.— There are some fine displays of vegeta bles, especially yams. Frank E. Block makes an admirable show of the productions of his candy manufactory, in this room. Ho does himself great credit. Mr. E. Van Goidtsnoven contributes largely to the interest of the department. No one has better taste than he, and in this instance, he has used it to a good advantage. In this room we also find bread, bis cuit, cake, preserves and canned fruits, and other home productions, which are highly creditable. Last, but by no means least, or least entertaining, we have the SEWING MACHINE men in this room. They are workers. They evidently are the liveliest set of people on the ground, never wearying of answering questions or operating their machines. Mr. Miller makes an excellent showing with the Howe. He has quite a number of machines out there, which are quite as handsome as any to he seen; besides —well, we were going to compliment the ladies who operate them, but we believe we won’t. They don’t need it. Their work speaks for them, and they speak for the machine; so we think, on the whole, the Howe can get along and hold its own. The Singer, the Wheeler A Wilson, and the Grover A Baker also make good shows. Hill is there, of course, and enthusi astic over the many good points of the Florence. What Hill don’t know about sewing machines is not worth going to Australia to find out, and if the Florence does not hold its own well, it will not be for the want of a skillful and competent man to handle it. But it is a good ma chine, or Hill would have nothing, to do with it. This completes Floral Hall, and one of the most interesting and best sustained sengers, rolled out to the Fair Ground,.... . , and it was not until late in the afternoon | 18 6 that the trains began to go out empty. It is the opinion of many that no^day during the State Fair last year was the crowd larger than it was yesterday. At one time every seat in ihe immense am- FINE ARTS HALL Presents as magnificent an appear ance as it did at the State Fair last year, Both the first and second floors swarmed with visitors and exhibitors, with, their multitude of wares.

In all the halls and buildings upon the ground were perpetual throngs, crowding and jamming the passage ways, all eager to see what was to be seen of the useful aud the beautiful. THE CATTLE SHOW Was not so large as it was last year; but some set of parlor and chamber furni ture, worth probably a $1,000 or $1,200. AN ELEGANT COLLECTION Of medicines, perfumery, etc., was on exhibition by Pemberton, Taylor A Co., of this city, whose popularity and repu tation as druggists are rapidly growing into universal repute.

A HANDSOME DESIGN for a new, magnificent building, to bo styled tho Republic Block, and to be <1 erected on Pryor street* opposite the H. I. Kimball House, was on exhibition by Wm. Goodnow, Agent of the Republic Life Insurance Company. The building,.. only three stories high, is to be of vast dimensions, stately and substantial in appearance, and promises to be ono of the most elegant in the city. RARE QUILTS. Among the many quilts, coverlets, Ac., we noticed one of curious design and te dious workmanship, containing 8,403 pieces. Another, made by a child four years old, was a raro execution for two tender, dimpled hands of so youthful an amateur in the fine arts. two knitting machines, introduced by Mrs. L. J. Tabor, is a pro digy among inventions. It knits socks, shawls, plaids, mats, Ac. An ordinary lnrnd can make twelve pairs of socks in one day, and with un expert hand it will - manufacture twenty-four. ARTISTS IN HAIR. Tho many uses and elegances to which hair has been applied, is truly wonderful. Mrs. A. C. Ladd had on exhibition a fam ily memento, (or (h)air loom) consisting of the hair of ine various members of the family, wrought into flowers and im itations of fruit, which, for conception and execution, is an honor to the talents of Mrs. Ladd. Mrs. Agnes Turner,. lately returned from the North, had an extensive and exquisite array of hair jewelry and all kinds of ornamental hair work. She will establish her business, very soon in’ this city. The most exquisite piece of art, and indeed the most elaborate arti-* cle of workmanship in the hall, was the IMITATION OF AN OIL FAINTING, in needle work, by Mrs. A. C. Ladd. It represents the parting scene of Ruth and her mother, Naomi. It is wrought with silk, worsted and chenille, and combining one hundredr.ndthirty different shades and colors! The conception, a portion of which is original with Mrs. Ladd, and the execution are perfect, rep resenting not only the peculiar scenery and costume, but the perfect attitude of the parties, giving the most accurate out lines of the very muscles of the Eastern donkey, but delineating faithfully the expression, and thereby the .very emo tions of parent and child on this affecting occasion of the mother’s sacrifice and the daughter’s ingenuous love for him to whom-she said, “wherever thou geest,.,, willl also; your home shall be my home, yonr God my God,” Ac. Mrs. Ladd had 1 a number of other specimens, including J : varieties of needle work, embroidery and crocheting. - THE PICTURE C AND MUSIC GALLERY was the scene of unceasing wonder and -admiration from all of the vast concourse that were on the grounds yesterday. The most elaborate piece of artWas A FINISHED PIECE OF MOSAIC, comprising 7,000 pieces of thirteen dif ferent kinds of Georgia wood, inlaid in diamond, triangle, rectangle, ellipse and other geometrical figures. It is all in cluded in the space of about one square, foot, and is of masterly workmanship. - A MINIATURE SHIP, by J. H. Warner, Atlanta, was entered as the product of the best mechanical genius. THE FATRIe’s GROTTO, ■ is what we might term a romantic poem, petrified or fossilized. It is built of a thousand variety of shells, collected . from the coasts of Georgia and Florida, wrought into Mosaic, and represents a-.-, showy grotto overarched with festoons of Ji' shells, and supported by stalagmites of * the same. It is a curiosity. htp. CRAYON SKETCHES AND OIL PAINTINGS by the pupils of Miss E. Sterchi, is quite an interesting collection of portraits and scenery. “Moonshine,”-apparently a. scene in South America, representing the rising moon amid the depths of the foam ing spray of a cataract dashing down a frightful precipice, deserves special men tion. PHOTOGRAPHS, comprising all the modern improvements of the art, were on exhibition by Messrs. Smith A Motes, and Mr. O. R. Lane, o£. this city. It was the handsomest collec tion ever displayed in Georgia. There were some specimens of PORTRAITS AND WOOD CARVING By Mr. J. Maier. Pictures of unexcep tionable finish and faithful likenesses ojf Howell and T. R. R. Cobb. Gen. G. T. Anderson and Dr. J. M. Johnson were touch admired. The wood carvings were representations of. some historical event- THE WAX WORKS. Of flowers and fruits were beautiful, all such works must be. A collection of flowers, by Miss Ella T. Foreacre, seven years of age, was a monument of youth ful genius and child-art. Some nice RUSTJC PICTURE FRAMES . Were entered by Mrs. F. A. Smith, of Hogacsville. LARGE OIL PAINTINGS, Some 6x3 feet, by Mr. E. H. Mills, were elegant representations of familiar Geor gia and Florida scenery. “ Toceoa,” duplicated, is one of the best. CRAYON SKETCHES Of Napoleon L and Mohammed, by O',. L. Braumuiler, were meritorious designs-. CROCHET WORK. A handsome crochet collar, exhibiteil by Mrs. C. D’Alviguv, elicited the mo»i unbounded applause. It is a wonderful piece of work, being wrought with A r o. 200 cotton thread into numerous designs of roses, rose-buds and rose-leaves, per fect in all their parts. THE GRAND PIANOS, Of Mr. Edward Faxon, lent a glorious ac companiment to the day’s revelry, ai*l prouounced, at sundown, a sweet doxol- ogy to the dispersing multitude. THE RACES were improvised for the occasion, and if they were satisfactory to the large auui- ence, we shall content ourselves vitntise following resume :• The first race was a two mile dash be tween W.
