The Georgia Slate Fair,
As has been repeatedly announced in our
paper, promises to be more interesting this
Tear than any of the preceding Expositions.
Tinder our “agricultural head” will be seen
a Circular from the Commissioner of Agri
culture, to which we invite the attention of
farmers and all others therein addressed.—
In a conversation with one of the Vice-Presi
dents of the State Agricultural Society, a few
days since, he stated that some of the objec
tionable features which had heretofore been
so disgusting to many of the best friends of
the Exposition, were to be “ lopped off” and
“ ourtailed,” and nothing introduced except
what would be in perfect keeping with the
intent and purposes of those having the en
terprise in charge—to make the Fair an ex
ponent of the Agricultural, Mechanical and
Industrial interests of the State and country.
The Jfegro Insurrection in Georgia-
The True Southron, published at Sumter,
S. C., and which is one of the most ably edi
ted country weeklies in the South, closes a
brief article on the above subject, with the
following pertinent remarks :
“ The orders issued by these leaders, con
templated the murder of the white men and
fit! old and ugly females. What ulterior pur
poses have been contemplated, we are not
advised, and it is more than probable that no
Settled plans had been formed. A people
who could for a moment suppose that such
a scheme could succeed, arc incapable of ma
turing any plans and working them out. It
is utter madness for the colored people of any
.State m the South, to attempt to improve
their condition by these insurrections, or by
any other measures whose purpose is to push
aside the white population. Even in South
Carolina, where the negroes have a clear ma
jority of 100,000 of population, the white peo
ple would have no fear of the success of such
a scheme. A few men and perhaps women
and children, might fall victims on the first
outbreak of hostfllities, but the end cannot be
tn any doubt. In the first place, the Federal
could not allow it, and without
its af<f r the problem would be of easy solu
tion.
“If a 113' of fire* colored people should read
this article, we want them to ponder it well.
Many of the white people of the Sonth have
liot yet been convinced that these State Gov
emnients have been so organized as to secure
the best interest of both races, but they have
not the slightest wish to deprive the colored
people of one single substantial right they
have acquired. The most of the Southern
whites are to-day the best friends they have
on earth, and will be found protecting them
from those who have placed them in a false
position, and who will soon abandon them
to their fate. While this is the case, the
whites of the South have not the slightest
idea of surrendering their own rights.
“The two races must live together on this
soil as friends or as enemies. We prefer
and infinitely prefer the former. It is for the
colored people to chose which it shall be.
We have no fears as to the result.’’
An Illinois Judge has recently decided
taat teachers and directors cannot expel a
pupil from the public schools on account of
absence. He takes the ground that a child
docs not become the creature or slave of
teachers by being enrolled, the parents hav*
mg a right to send their children to school
only as they can spare them from home.

duties. The sentence of each is two years

Trial of the Negro Insurrectionists.
As previously announced, this trial was com
menced on the 30th ult., and the special Court
adjourned on the Ist inst_, having tried
but one of the conspirators—‘Rev." Corday
Harris—who was adjudged “not gtriTty,” af
ter a ‘‘fair and impartial" hearing of the
charge against him. The negroes who had
made confessions previous to the trial, did
not “ stand up to the rack” when the pinch
came. The following telegrams give the sta
tus of the case:
Augusta, September 3.—The jury in the
Cordy Harris case, returned a verdict of not
gnilty, and the prisoner was discharged from
custody to-day. Other insurrectionary cases
have been continued to the regular term of
the court.- The prisoners arrested in John
son count}' will be tried at a special term on
Monday next. Judge Johnson's course is
highly commeuded. The state is represented
by Attorney-General Ilammond, and Salem
Dotcher, and the defendant by ex-Attorney
General Akerman.
Augusta, September 3. —The Harris case,
regarded as a test in Washington county, for
trial, has allayed ill feeling, and there is no
danger of the discharged parties being #o
lested. All quiet at Sandersville. It is
thought the state will fail to develope evidence
sufficient to convict the prisoners in jail at
Wrightville, Johnson county. Judge John
son will not sentence unless the evidence
clearly establishes the guilt of the prisoners.
Our worthy contemporary of the Savannah
News, closes a brief and pointed editorial on
the above subject matter, with the following
appropriate paragraph:—
“ It is possible that in the excitement na
tural under such circumstances, this affair
has been somewhat exaggerated. But that
there was a bungling and incoherent, plot to
inaugurate a disturbance which might have led
to a serious conflict between the races, none
who have investigated the facts can doubt,
though the real culprits have escaped for the
present, the affair has not been without good
results. While it will teach the would-be
leaders of the negroes that all such attempts
are futile, that they will be promptly met and
suppressed by the whites, it should convince
the well disposed—in which class are includ
ed the large majority of the negroes of Geor
gia—of the forbearance and justice of the
whites, and the folly of listening to the insane
counsels of the ignorant and evil disposed
negroes or worse whites, who would beguile
them into mischief and desert them in the
hour of trouble.”
The Planting Interest.
* * To leave the culture of the ground
in the hands of the ignorant, is a monstrous
folly—and this is becoming too much the or
der of the day. The idea (says the Sumter,
S. C., True Southron,) that an educated young
man is throwing away his attainments by re
sorting to agricultural pursuits for a liveli
hood, is preposterous. When we see a young
man of education, turning away from the til
lage of the earth, as unworthy of his attention,
we feel that his education has been deficient
in one grand particular, viz: in the wise
choice of an occupation. This is the great
danger of the South at this moment. And
just here, the South is . wasting its greatest
strength. We have nothing to say against
any honest occupation ; but we have a great
deal to say in behalf of the cultivation of the
earth. Our stores are filled to overflowing
with our vigorous and intelligent youth. Ev
ery occupation outside of that of farming, is
crowded to suffocation. This is wrong—this
is'minous. Are we to give up our fair and
fertile lands into the hands of negroes and
foreigners ? If this idea is to be prevalent,
then indeed our country is ruined.
John Quincy Adams, was a man of close
observation. He once remarked that his ex
perience told him that a .young man with an
humble cottage and a few acres of land was
in a more favorable condition to make a for
tune, and to spend a happy, useful and inde
pendent life, than a young man with twenty
thousand dollars cash, who embarked in the
mercantile business.
It is related that an old Roman having
originally only a small tract of land, and havv
ing raised a family, measured off a few acres
to every child, as he or she married, and
always by industry and higher tillage, made
the diminished remainder, yield as much as
the whole original tract, until finally all were
married and well settled, and he himself con
tinued to make as much as ever.
Let our youth remember that Cincinnatus
was called from the plow to the Dictatorship
of Rome. We have the finest country in the
world. Let us occupy it—not live in it as
strangers.
“ Jane has got a very nicely turned ankle,
hain’t she ?” said John to his wife the other
da}’. And then John noticed a strange, un
earthly gleam in the eye of his spouse, which
made him feel very uncomfortable—he knew
not why. But the next day the place which
Jane had filled in the domestic economy of
the household was occupied by a middle-aged
woman with ankles like those of a Mullingar
heifer. —Milwaukee News.
One result of the Grange in Arkansas has
been the introduction of tobacco culture. In
the territory of Columbia Grange, 4,857, in
Randolph county, alone, twenty tobacco barns
have been built within the year.
Speculators often take advantage of the
fact that the farmer does not read enough,
and when they hear of an advance in the
price of produce, they go into the country
and purchase pefore the farmer hears of the
advanced price.
The man who first introduced American ice
into England says (see Scribyier’s): “At a
given signal the well trained waiter appear
ed, laden with the different drinks. The ef
fect was gorgeous, and I expected an ovation
that no Yankee had ever had. But, alas !
the first sound that broke the silence were :
‘ I say—aw, waitaw, a little ’ot wataw, if you
please ; I prefer it ’alf an’ ’alf.’ I made a
dead rush for the door; next da} 1, settled my
bills in London ; took the train for Liverpool,
and the steamer for Boston, and counted up
a clear loss of $1,200. *

To the. Editoi' of the Forest News :
Dear Sir — l have been informed that cer
tain malicious persons have been circulating
reports with regard to the reason why I left
the Superior Court of Jackson county on
Wednesday, the first day of September. I
trust that the appended certificate of my phy
sician—a gentleman whose character is well
known in Jackson county —will sufficiently
refute the statements of any thoughtless or
designing person upon this subject. It was
a .source of deep regret to me, that I was
compelled to leave the Court; but I was
prostrated to that extent by illness, that I
could not attend to my duties as attorney and
as Solicitor General. This I stated in open
Court immediately before leaving, and Judge
Rice, from the Bench, confirmed what I said ;
and in this he w T as joined by several mem
bers of the Bar.
Athens, Sept. sth, 1575.
I hereby certify that I saw Emory Speer,
Esq., on Wednesday, Sept. Ist, shortly after his
return from Jackson Superior Court. He was
suffering from an attack of Ilay Fever, for which
I prescribed. Mr. Speer is subject to these at
tacks at this season of the year, and had one at
the same time last year. He has been confined to
his home since his return from Jackson Superior
Court, and is still suffering from the same cause.
1 am his family physician.
(Signed) C. W. LONG, M, D,
I am also informed that the Grand Jury,
or a majority of that body, in their General
Presentments, express dissatisfaction with
the fact that certain Bills of Indictment
against A. T. Bennett and B. O. W. Rose,
have been “ Not prossed.” lam glad to be
able to relieve this dissatisfaction, and I take
this the first opportunity to do so, by stating
that these Bills have not been “ Nol prossed.”
An examination of the minutes of the Court
will show this fact. If they have been set
tled. as I am informed they have been,
they have been settled by the parties, and I
so stated to Judge Rice during the last term
of the Court. I further stated that the pros
ecutions ought never to have been commenc
ed. It was simply an honest difference of
opinion about a business transaction. I drew
neither of the Bills, nor did I sign either of
them. They were draTrn, if my memory
serves me correctly, by the counsel of the
parties—of course, with my assent. After
hearing all the facts, I become convinced
that both Bennett and Rose were innocent of
the charges brought against them. The peo
ple of Jackson county will bear me witness
that I have always declined to prosecute par
ties whom, under the proof, I have thought
not guilty ; and in this my conduct has been
approved by the Court, and I believe, by the
country. P'or the settlement of the cases re
ferred to, neither I nor any of the other offi
cers of the Court have received either costs
or fees. On the contrary, in a civil case
growing out of the same transaction, I de
clined to receive a large fee offered me, on
the ground that it might compromise me in
my official relation to the cases. Of all these
facts there is ample proof.
If the strictures of the GrAnd Jury were
aimed at me, it was but fair to have given me
a hearing, or at least to have made some
slight examination of the records of the
Court. The vilest criminal in the land is not
condemned without notice, and surely the
arduous services I for three years have been
rendering the County of Jackson—the nume
rous marks of her peoples’ confidence I have
received—the fact that this very Court I was
physically broken down in her service, and
simple justice itself, demanded that I should
receive some notice of the charges against
me; some investigation before the charge
was made public. I regret extremely,to be
compelled to address the public in this way;
but as I had no hearing before the majority
that became dissatisfied, I must have * hear*,
ing before the people. In conclusion, I trust
that an}' person who may see fit to take issue
with me on the facts I have stated in relation
to myself, will do so over his own name, as I
do not relish the idea of fighting openly, a
hidden enemy.
Your ob’t serv’t, Emory Speer.

For the Forest News.
Little or Nothing.
Editor Forest News :
We all love Howard Payne’s “Home, Sweet
Home,” and its sentiments find a responsive
echo in every human heart. ThouglTthis is
true, we also love, now and then, to sit by
other firesides than our own, and turn aside
a little while from the daily routine of our own
home-life to gain other ideas in “ fresh fields
and pastures new.” Almost every one needs
an excuse for making a trip, and from this
necessity arose the above preamble to a reso
lution which was carried into effect when,
seeking the aid of steam, I was borne away
from the old homestead. The weather was
delightful, cool and invigorating; the cars
not crowded but pleasantly filled with travel
ers, who had on their best behavior, their
best looks and, for aught I know, their best
clothes. I cannot be sure of the last, "but I
am sure some of those pretty girls must have
been wearing their best looks, for they cer
tainly furnished the only illustration I ever
saw of the truism, “He does well who does
the best he can ; Angels could do no more.”
After a good deal of delay, we made the
first forty miles of our journey, and at last
reached the main trunk of the Georgia Rail
road. Finding a place in the comfortable
cars of this road, we soon sped on towards
Atlanta, There was nothing unusual to
arouse the attention until the huge masses of
dark granite, rising above the soil for miles
along the road, assured us that we were fast
approaching Stone Mountain—certainly one
of the most wonderful features of Georgia
scenery. Wonderful, since it combines in a
remarkable degree, beauty, sublimity and
utility. Beauty in its clinging vines and
soft gray masses. Sublimity, in its towering
summit and precipitous cliffs, and utility in
huge blocks of smooth granite quarried from
its outlying spurs ana veins. In this is found
another of Georgias most valuable resources
which she ought certainly to utilize in her
public buildings, if no where else. They
would be far more beautiful in an architectu
ral point of view, and far safer than the un
substantial structures of crumbling brick in
which the officers of State do their work. If
the Mountain itself should never be touched,
and we hope it may never be, there is a suffi
cient quantity of splendid granite in its im
mediate vicinity to supply the wlioje State
with magnificent public buildings, enclose it
with a Chinese wall if anybody wanted it, or
rebuild Mason and Dixon’s line if it should
ever wear out.
Experienced travelers tell us never to stray
too far from railroads, hence we return to
ours, over which we were rapidly carried
away from towering mountain and flowing
stream, until we were safely landed in the
busy Railroad city of North Georgia. Once
there, much can be found to employ one
pleasantly and profitably. Atlanta is justly
proud of her elegant churches. Some of
them are imposing buildings, but I failed to
see the interior of any except the Catholic
Cathedral. I was not there during the hour
for service; hence had opportunity to exam
ine its fine proportions and admire its beau
tiful windows of stained glass, each one the
gift of a friend of the church. We were com
pelled to hurry away on account of limited
time and threatening showers. But after re
ceiving a very unexpected and uudeserved
sprinkling of holy water from a marble vase
at the entrance, I resolved to come again
when more favored by “ time and chance and
a genial sky.” Peachtree street is, I believe,
the home of the notabilities of Atlanta, and
is one of the most beautiful in the city. Some
of the residences are very handsome. This
street also leads to Ponce de Leon spring,
which no one who visits Atlanta must fail to
see. It is not necessary to drink the life-giv
ing water, since a smell is generally sufficient
to convince most people that plenty of sul
phur lurks in its depths, if perpetual youth
does not sport in its purling waves. The
spring is situated in a beautiful little dell,
and those who stray along its sylvan shades
cannot fail to be refreshed by the contrast
with the heat and dust of the city. We fail
ed to visit many other objects of interest in
the city, but we felt that the time was well
filled after all, and was ready, when our brief
visit was over, to bid adieu to scenes and
places which had afforded us so much pleas
ure.
Necessity compelled us to take the “Ac
commodation” instead of the “ Express” train
on the Air-Line to Gainesville. From all we
had heard, we expected an unpleasant ride—
on the contrary, it was a very pleasant one
indeed. lam sure, I for one, had no cause
to complain of the “ bridge that carried me
safely over,” although it was not at lightning
speed. The utmost kindness was shown me
by all on board, from the accommodating
Conductor to the rough looking old moun
taineer in a distant corner, who begged me.
with a polite bow, to “ accept a piece of wa
termilion.” Kind hearts cafi throb warmly
under any exterior, as Burns well knew when
he wrote “ a man’s a man for a’ that,” and
we prize pure gold none the less because it
first come to our hands covered with the dust
of its native home.
Among: the passengers on the “ Accommo
tion,” I noticed a man whom many regard as
a candidate for Governor, though I do not
know that he has taken his place amongst the
“ thirteen behind the barrel.” lie looked fat,
financial and comfortable. There were also
several Baptist and Methodist ministers on
board, seeking health and recreation. In
deed, the “parsons” seemed abroad during
the entire trip, and from their contented and
almost jolly, faces, (I hope they will pardon
me,) I gleaned the comfortable assurance
that they had left few sinners at home. No
doubt arduous work was required to reduce
their vineyards to this wholesome condition,
and they richly deserve the rest and strength
they are gaining among the mountains.
After reaching Gainesville, we started out
across the hills for home. On each side of
the road were orchards laden with luscious
fruit; and so tempting did this become, that
at last we stopped to purchase some at a little
cabin by the roadside. While the fruit was
being gathered, I could not help noticing
some of the wonderful results of progress.
In the cabin was a tall, barefooted boy of
eighteen summers, perhaps, so intent on a
dime novel that he did not even glance at the
passing “strangers” and uttered no ‘begone !’
to still the noisy barking of the yellow-coat
ed, black-nosed “ Towze” and “ Tige” that
seem indigenous to these regions. So the
world moves, and progress aided by railroads,
keeps her steady, onward march ! With no
other event to vary the monotony of the ride,
the shades of evening found us almost “home
again.” Soon its doors were thrown open
with a glad welcome, and after a night of rest
and quiet sleep, we awoke, ready to resume
the necessary duties of life, after enjoying
some of its man} 7 pleasures. Erin.
GPMore good points in the Missouri con
stitution : The Legislature is, for instance,
to meet once in two years, cannot have ad
journed sessions, and if it is in session lon
ger than seventy days every member loses
one dollar a day from his pay, which in the re
gular session is $5. Every amendment must
be incorporated with the original bill, and
printed with it before any action is taken,
and no motion to reconsider at a future time
can be entertained if a bill is lost. The nec
essary expenses of the State government, in
terest, school, charitable and other funds
must be provided for before money is voted
for anything else.
