We had lor years draggled along with our county agricultural societies and in some instances, had attempt ed fairs; but it was obvi ms to all that, we iieml'-d an association in which all i he )i< .heoi South Georgia and Middle Florida could, by combi nation, present such a power a.~ wouid attract the attention of per sons from abroad and the respect rf the citizens of the sections above referred to. And further, by such organization, to bring from a dis tance the new developments made in agricultural implements and the new applications which are daily being made in Mechanics. And by so doing place our section in line with the progress of the age. Such were some of the reasons upon which we acted. The question presents itself: Have wo been true to our original intention ? We proud ly refer to the past. We have one ol the handsomest Fair Grounds in the State—we have commodious buildings— machinery for the pur pose of testing all new machinery -we are out of debt—every indebt edness has been paid—all of our property is ours. Have the citizens of tiie. section which wc address any other nucleus around which to gath er '! It not, let us lay aside all other leeling, only that one of love of sec tion, and crowd our Fair with offer ings of stock, the production of tin* soil, and such specimens of ma chinery as may be ours. Let ns, by our own determined efforts, make such impression on the pui lie abroad that wc will force them to our Fair with the productions of their skill and labor. To our own immediate county and town, let. me say to you, above all others, you are interested in the success of this enterprise. Let even planter and mechanic, bring forth something, it matters not how hum ble, tor it will be to die Association a mark of good will and an effort to encourage us in the future. To the merchants, who have here tofore been so lukewarm, let us ask of you to till our Hall with all such wares and goods as will show your enterprise, and by sa doing \ hi will show to the stranger that your town is a market where the needs of the surrounding country can bo met. i assure tot that it is the best adver tisement y<»u can off, r to the public. If our people wh!i Deir section to prosper, they niiij-i encourage the efforts being made in tb 'ir behalf to develope the same. Let us then lay aside every day, for the short time intervening, some portion thereof and devote the. same to the success of our coming Fair.' Respectfully. A. P. WRIGHT, President.

The time is so very brief that it will be next to impossible to com municate with you ere you depart, in \iew of these circumstances, dar ling. I have determined to write to • ou once more, aud assure you of my undying love. existence have been spent in thy dear presence. They are indelibly- stamped upon the tablets of my memory: and while reason main tains her throne, never, never, can I for an instant forget the one that is dearer and more precious to me than all things on earth. Darling, this is not the raving of school-boy sentiment, but tis the pure, genuine love of a man; one whose only hap piness consists in anticipating the wishes of the Queen who rules su preme within his heart. Can you doubt my love, Darling ? You do not look upon me as being a flatter er and destroyer of women’s hearts and happiness? As God is my judge, I am seriously and earnestly in love with my angel. You asked me if I ever intended to marry. I will ans wer your question, darling, in a few words. I will, provided I am per mitted to lead to the altar the wo man of my choice. Otherwise never, fliat love which is all thine, shall never be lavished upon another. You alone have the power to charm me. In the possession of your dear self, I would drive dull care away, and 1 High to scorn the troubles and trials of this life. Darling, I am sanguine in all my undertakings; passionate in all my likes and dis likes. I either love or hate with my whole soul and might. Mv love for you is off lie kind that never changes. Friends who live to-day and to-morrow, have passed lo eter nity—may lie forgotten in the course of human events—but you, my life, my angel, will never be, while I am capable of exercising thought. Oh, that I could call thee mine, mine only! and bring you to my home, where you, darling, would meet with a cordial reception, and be the household pet and pride. Shall our happiness ever be consummate d ? Heaven grant that it may. Darling, I live in hopes of it, and in future it will be my aim to study your happiness. Your darling little girl I already love tor thy sake. She shall be mine also. I would like so much to see her. I know she is beautiful as a flower; a perfect little cherub. Well, dearest, I will con clude. If I see no impropriety in my going with you, I will do so; but not for the world would I bring you into any trouble by any act of mine. It. is now about time to go walking and I expect to meet you there. If convenient, let me hear from you be fore leaving.

The ap pointments were made under a law phssed at the last session of Con gress, to prevent evasions of the revenue law, and appropriating for that purpose $500,000, under the di rection of the Secretary ot the Treas ury. In addition to this undiguised traffic, every influence that bould be brought to bear was made use of in one way or another, and prospec tive possession ol office was promised in a manner that made it almost as effective and inducement as present possession. When General Jackson wasPresi- lent. a heartless clerk in the Treas ury Department ran up to an in debtedness with a poor landlady to $00, and then turned her off as he did other creditors. She finally weiit to the President with her com plaint, and asked him if he could not compel the clerk to pay the bill, "lie offers his note,” she said, ‘but his note is good for nothing,” Said the President, “Get his note and bring it to me.” The clerk gave her the ante, with the jerring re quest. she would let him know when >lie got the money on it." Taking it 'o the President he wrote “Andrew Jackson" on the back of it, and told her she would get the money at the band.—When it became due the clerk refused to pay the note, but when he learned who was the en dorser. lie made haste to “raise the wind."—The next morning he found a note on tiis desk saying that his services were no longer required by the government—and it served him right. our happiness has been to extent marred by the HOW MAINE WAS CARRIED. 1 he New \ ork World staies that advices received at the Democratic headquarters in New York put the expenditure itf.Maine by the (franti- tes at between $30o,000 and $500,- 000.

They cannot be made to un derstand the difference between a man’s nature and requirements and their own; and they condemn all that they cannot understand. In those few rational homes where men’s sports and gatherings, undis turbed by tiie presence-of petticoats, are not made occasions tor suspicion or remonstrance, the stock of love a d happiness with which .married life began is more like the widow’s curse than elsewhere; but unfortu nately for both husbands and wives, these homes are rare; while those are common, where a game of billiards in the evening is occasion for tears or pouting, and deadly offence is taken at club dinners or a week's shooting. The consequence of which is deceit or dissension; and some times both. The woman’s ideal man has none of these erratic tendencies. His business done, he comes home with the docility of a well-bred pointer sent to heel, and finds energy enough after his hard day’s work for a variety of petits soins which make him more precious in her eyes than all the tact, the temper, the judg ment, the uprightness he has mani fested in his dealings with the out side world. And the domesticity which she claims from her husband she demands from her son. Latch keys are her abomination, and the “gas left burning" is as a beacon light ou the way of destruction. She lias the profoundest suspicion of all the men her boy calls his friends.— She never knows into what mischief they may lead him, but she is sure it is mischief if they keep him away from his home in tiie evening. She would prescribe the same social re straints lor her son as for her daugh ter, and she thinks the energies of masculine nature require no wider field anu no looser rein. But though she likes those tame and tender men whom she can tie up close to her apron strings and lovingly imprison in the narrow domain of home,’she succumbs without a struggle to the square-jawed brute of the Rochester type, the man who dominates by the mere force of superior strength; and she is not too severe on Don Juan, if only she can flatter herself that she is the best loved and the last. That these are the men most liked by women is shown both by their own novels and by daily observation; and it seems to us that, among the many subjects lor extended study of late proposed for women, a better aequaiutauce with men’s minds, a higher regard for the nobler kind of man, and the ability to accept love as only one of many qualities, and not always the strongest or the most praiseworthy of his impulses, would not be out of place. a great which he bought votes.

You have trouble, your feelings are injured, your husband is unkind, your wife frets, your home is not pleasant, your brethren do not treat you just right, and things in general move unpleasantly. Well, what of it ? Keep it to your self. A smouldering fire can be found and extinguished; but when the coals are scattered who can pick them up? Fire brands when to gether can be trodden upder foot, but when tied to the tails dt Samson's foxes it is difficult to tell Where they will burn. Bury your sorrow. The place for sad and disgusting things is under the ground. Charity covereth a multi tude of sins. Things thus covered, are often cured without a scar; but when they are once published and confided to meddling- friends, there is no CDd to the trouble they may cause. Keep it to yourself. Troubles are transient, and when sorrow’s healed and past, what a comfort it is to say, “No one ever knew it until all was over with.”—Home Journal.

The recent attempt of Johnson to swim across the English Channel from Dover has created quite an ex citement in England, and is com mented upon in various papers, and compared with other feats ot the same kind on record. The best known of these latter appears to be that of “Brock the swimmer, ’ of Yarmouth, published in the Sailors’ Magazine in 1840. Brock was thrown into'the sea by the upsetting of a yawl. Though only six miles from land, the setting ot the tide was so strong that he, an experienced boatman, knew it would take him a swim of some fifteen miles to reach the shore. He struck out boldly.— After being five hours in the water, he found himself off' Yarmouth, and but four miles from his own door. — He was then utterly exhausted, and the flying gulls every now and then made dashes at him, mistaking him for a corpse. He continued to float, however, for two hours longer, when he was picked up by a passing ves sel. He was then fourteen miles from the place where the yawl sank, and had been seven hours in the water. He fainted on being taken aboard, but was well rubbed, wrap ped in hot blankets, and p1;t to bed. His neck and chest, the soles of his feet, and his hands were found to be almost raw, and his suffering from the saline particles of seawater must have been terrible. He recovered completely in five days. A WESTERN*HERMIT. TALE OF A MISER WHO LIVED IN A CAVE AND GOT RICH MIXING LEAD. lying. The boys followed hooting. Tom stumbled and fell. One of tbe boys, ahead of the rest, came upon him. Tom drew a knife and stabbed the boy through the heart. At the tjial which ensued it was shown that Tom Kelly was more than half craz ed, and he was acquitted, but kept in confinement as a lnnatic. Here his instincts as a miner stood him in good stead: he burrowed out and escaped. Before long Tom was at work in his mine again, but he was now more secretive than ever. He built himself a stone house, where each window was an embrasure pointing out of which was fixed a loaded musket, and the only man who ever got enough into Tom’s con fidence to examine the house, says that there was also a fixed rnnsket enfilading the doorway. He told this person that he was having an iron house built for himself that he thought would be more secure. In general it was but little, and only to mere children, that Tom ever spoke. And there came a day, some two years ago, when Tom found it ncces- ary to prepare to go to a house where he is likely to be permanently afe. Two brothers, almost as un couth as Tom himself, came hovering about ihe dying man. He asked the priest to bring a lawyer; and when this was effected said; “If you will send them out,” pointing to his two brothers, “I will tell all.” But the brothers would not go out of the house, and Tom diew as mute as he had lived. Application to the prop er authorities of New York recover ed Toni’s gold which he had been too much frightened to apply lor after his escape. The brothers left not one stone ot the house upon another, and they found about $20,- 000 hidden in and around it. Out of Tom’s cave they took, in addition, it is believed, ore to the valve of uot less than $100,000. They divided their treasures as they found gold or gold ore, by dealing out coin or bills as it it were cards at poker, one to each alternarely. What there is left of Tom Kelly’s real estate looks like the debris of an earthquake. Dnbnque Correspondence N. T. Tribnne. There is a shade of romance con nected with another lead cave which I visited. There poor old Tom Kelly lived and died; poor, though rich. Tom was an uneducated Irishman, and when he had discovered his cave, he kept the fact to himself. He smelted bis own ore and carried his lead down to the river bank, secretly, un .il he had hidden m the bank about $12,000 worth of lead. This he shipped and went with it down the river, reshipping it at New Orleans and going with it to New York, where he sold it, taking his pay in gold. Perhaps the gold was heavier than the lead. At all events poor Tom sat down with his money bags to rest, and as he was a dirty looking old iellow, some boys collec ted around him and began poking fun at him. A great fear seized Tom —a fear for his money bags. He snatched them np and started to run for the dock where his boat was T.

This fearful threat reminds us of a story about Mr. Swain years ago, when he was the proprietor ot the Ledger. By his course in regard to some public matter he had offen ded a number of his readers, one ot whom he met on Chestnut street, and thus accosted him: ‘Mr. Swain, I’ve stopped tiie Led ger.’ ‘What is that sir ?’ ‘I’ve stopped the Ledger,’ wa s the stern reply. Great heavens! said Mr. Swain, ‘my dear sir, that won’t do. This must be looked into.’ And, taking the man with him, he entered the office at Third and Chestnut streets. There they found the clerks busy at their desks; then they ascended to the editorial rooms and composing rooms, where all was as usual; final ly they descended to the press rooms, where the engineers were at wo.tk. ‘I thought you told me you had stopped the Ledger,’ said Mr. Swain. ‘Sol have,’ said the offended sub scriber. ‘I don’t see the stoppage. The Ledger seems to be going on.’ ‘Oh ! I mean to say—that is, that I—ah—had stopped taking it.’ “Is that all exclaimed Mr. Swain. —“Why, my dear sir, you don’t know how you alarmed me. As for your individual subscription I care very little. Good day sir, and never make such rash assertions again.’ THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS. The four great States of Pennsyl vania, Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa hold elections on Tuesday, October 8, Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Indiana choose a Governor, Ohio a Secretary of State, and the four States to gether no less than sixty-nine mem bers of Congress, besides Judges of the Supreme Court, and minor officers. Nebraska also elects a Governor, State officers and Con gressmen. The following is a list of chief candidates: Pennsylvania.—Governor—John F. Hartranft, Administration; Chas. R. Buckalew, Liberal. Judge ot Su preme Court—Ulysses Mercur, Ad.; James Thompson, Lib. Auditor General—Harrison Allen, Ad.; Wil liam H. Hartley, Lib. Congress at Large—Lemuel Todd, Glenni W. Scofield, Charles Albright. Ad.; Richard Yaux, Hendrick B. Wnsrht, James M. Hopkins; and Congress men. ... Ohio.—Secretary of State—Allen Wiley, Liberal. Judge of Supreme Court—John Welsh, Ad.; John L, Freene, Lib. Board of Public Works —Richard R. Porter, Ad.; Isaqcr B. Riley, Lib.; and Congressmen. Indiana.—Governor—Thomas M. Browne, Administration; Thomas A. Hendricks, Liberal. Lieutenant Governor—Leonidas Sexton, Ad.; Jno. R. Cravens, Lib. Secretary of State—W. W. Cnrrv, Ad.; Owen M. Eddy, Lib.; and Congressmen. Iowa.—Secretary ofState—Josiah T. Young, Administration; E.

Lett, Liberal. Chief Justice—George B. Lake, Ad.; James M. Wool worth, Lib. In Pennsylvania the average Re publican majority for the last three years has been 6,290 votc3, in an ag gregate of 590,000. This we shall have to overcome by accessions from the Liberal Republicans and German element, and the Democrat ic vote will go solid for the Liberal Democratic ticket. In Ohio the average Republican majority for the last three years was about, 5,000. The coalitionists are very confident of breaking this down and carrying the State. In Indiana tiie Democrats carried the State by 2,558 majority in the last election, 1870, for Secretary of State. Iowa seems joined with her idols a large Republican majority for the last three years. Nebraska for the last three years has been very close—only about 3,000 Republican majority. preacher took this verse as his text, and said: “If a man wants vtiUe now-a-days, he has only to send his milk-maid to the enppio, and she can milk all tire cows in peace and quiet. Bnt in' those old times it used to take eight grown men to milk a bear, and I don’t recon they got much milk after all, for the scripture says, “these eight did milk a bear to Nahor,” The Liberal Platform. The following are tne resolutions in full adopted by the Liberal Republican National Convention at Cincinnati in May, and endors ed by the Democratic Convention in July.- We, tbe Liberal Republicans of the United States, in National Convention assembled at Cincinnati, proclaimed the following principles as essential to a just government: First—We recognize tbe equality of all men before the law, and hold that it is the duty of tho government, in its dealings with the people, to mete out equal and exact justice to all; of whatever nativity, race, color, persuasion, re ligious or political. Second—We pledge ourselves to maintain the union of these States, emancipation and enfranchisement, and.to oppose any reopening of tbe questions settled by the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments of tbe constitution, Third—We demand the immediate and abso lute removal of all disabilities imposed on ac count of the rebellion, which was finally sub dued seven years ago, believing that universal amnesty will :esult in tbe complete pacification of all sections of the country. fourth—Local self-government, with impar tial suffrage, will guard the rights ofall citizens more securely than any centralized power. The public welfare requires the supremacy of the civil over tha military authority, and the fiec dom of persons under the protection of the ha beas corpus. We demand for the individual the largest liberty consistent with public order for the State’s self-government, and for the nation a retnn to the methods of peace and the corstitotional limitations of power. Fifth—The civil service of the government has become a mero instrument of partisan tyranny and personal ambition, and an object ol selfish greed. It is a scandal and reproach upon our free institutions, and breeds a demor alization dangerous to the perpetuity of repub lican government. We therefore regard a thorough reform of the civil service as on* of the most pressing necessities of the hour; that honesty, capacity and fidelity constitute tho only valid claims to public employment; that the offices of the government cease to be a mat ter of arbitrary favoritism and pntronage. and that public stations become agai" poets of hon or. To this end it is imperatively required that no President shall be a candidate for re-elec- tien. S : xth—We demand a system of federal taxa tion which shall not unnecessarily interfere with the industry of the people, and which shall provide means necessary to pay the ex penses of the government, economically admin istered, pensions, the ir terest on the public debt, and a moderate redaction, annually, of the principal thereof, and recognizing that there are in onr midst honest, but irreconcila ble differences of opinion with regard to the respective systems of protection and free trade, we remit discussion of the subject to tha peo ple in their congressional districts, and to the decision of Congress thereon, wholly free of executive interference or dictation. Seventh—The public credit must be sacredly maintained, and we denounce repudiation in every form and guise. Eight—A speedy return to specie payments is demanded alikd by the highest considerations of commercial morality and honest government. Ninth—We remember with gratitude the heroism and sacrifice of t^e soldiers and sailors of the republic, and no act of oars shall ever detract from their justly earned fame or of the full reward of their patriotism. Tenth—We ore opposed ie all farther grants ef lands to railroads rr other corporations. The public -domain should be held sacred to actual settlers. Eleventh—We hold that it is the duty of the government, in its intercourse with foreign na tions, t* cultivate the friendship of peace by treating with all on fair and equal terms, re garding it alike dishonorable either to demand what is notright or to submit to what is wrong. Twelfth—For the promotion and success of these vital principles, and tbe support of the dandidates nominated by this convention, we invite and cordially welcome the co-operati on ef all patriotic citizens, without regard to pre vious political a liation. MARVEL NOT. “But, my brethren and sisters, the worst of all gambling is marvels, for how solemnly does the Bible warn us to marvel not," said an in telligent Divine in a sermon against the sin of gambling. Another one of the same class, who could not read, called upon a brother to read a chapter for him, that he might get a text. The Drother selected the 22d chapter of Genesis, and when he came to the 23d verse, he happened to make a transposition ot the word “did,” placing it before instead of after “Milcah.” The “First class Oriental philosophy will stand up. Tibbets, what »life?' ‘Life consists of money, a *horsfl and a fashionable wile.’ ‘Good, Next.

GRAND Presidential Struggle FOB. 1872. Telegraph & Messenger, The campaign for 1872 Will ha a gigantic and convulsive struggle.
