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. GENERAL DOTS. An “insurrectionary” row at Clinton, Mis sissippi, on the 4th inst.. resulted in the death of three whites and three negroes, and seve ral on both sides wounded.

San Francisco, Sept. 2—California wheels fn line for the centennial fight. The demo crats have swept the state.

Little Rock, Auk., Sept.. 3. —The six men hung to-day at Fort Smith were sentenc ed at the last term of the Federal court. All six of the parties were launched into eterni ty at the same moment.

Pottsville, Pa., September 6.— There is excitement here in political circles over the sentence of the commissioners of Schuylkill countv, Patrick Conroy, Valentine Benker and Moses Hine, con victed of neglect and corruption in the discharge of their official duties. The sentence of each is two years imprisonment and fine, and the embezzled funds to be returned to the coun ty. They were immediately taken from the court house to prison. M Albany, N.

The foundation-stone of anew Methodist church was laid at Cape Town, Africa, recent ly* The Governor of the colony and many members of the Legislature were present. 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. * Coiiununicfllions. [communicated.] 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. Athens. Ga., Sept. sth, 1875. 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. laP Judge Tompkins, of the Savannah Cir cuit, ruled one day last week at Griffin, that a person who had formed , but not expressed an opinion, was competent to serve in a crim inal case.
