The Montgomery Journal gays that Home of its citizens still deny the exis tence of yellow fever. “I’oor Jim Wayne! ” remarks an Indi ana paper, “ho has gone where bar-teu ders don’t scowl when a man fills the glass up.” Pensacola has suffered about as heavily from yellow fever as any other place, in proportion to population. Sixty deaths are reported there. The Legislature of Alabama will con vene at Montgomery on the 3d Monday, being the 18th day of November. The citizens of Augusta, on Monday, subscribed SSOO and a bale of cotton for the relief of Memphis ; and the police of the city subscribed sll3 for the relief of the Memphis police. The Montgomery State Journal of Tuesday says: “We have heard of ten cases of yellow fever which have not been reported heretofore. It now reports the totul number of cases from the start at 154, and the total number of deaths 53. Iu Henry County Superior Court, last week, H. A. Johnson, the engineer on the uptrain on the Macon and Western llail road at the time of the collision near Hear Creek, in January last, was tried for man-laughter in connection with that collision, and acquitted. At a meeting held in New York City, on Friday last, a proposition was gravely entertained for keeping canals open throughout the winter. The plan is to warm the water of the canals the whole length by a series of boilers and water pipes. The author of this scheme thinks that the Erie Canal, threo hundred and fifty miles long, could be kept open at a cost of a million dollars a year. What next ? The Demopolis News of the 25th says: “A man namad Williams, an overseer on the old Houston or Porter place, was struck on the head with an axe, by a negro, early on (lie morning of October 21st, and died soon after. He had tired throe shotH at the negro, striking him twice once in the leg and ouco iu tlio right breast—before bo was struck. Tho negro was carried to Linden and was thought to be mortally wounded. Later—Tho negro is dead. Mr. Waddell, one of tho ltepresentu tivos elect to Congress from North Caro lina, anncunces that ho will soon be pre pared to prove “ from tho most authentic sources that a civilized colony of Cancas siaus existed iu North Carolina, 2,000 years beforo Columbus was born.” That would go back to a period some six hundred years before the birth of Christ, and when Homo is supposed to have been under the rule of thoTarquins. Os conrso, if Mr. Waddell can establish tho fact of tho existence of white poople on this continent about that time, ho will contribute to the history of tho human race n most extraordinary and valuable chapter. ll. in. Henry H. llauris. —Wo had a pleasant call the other day from this gen tleman. He is going to leave for Wash ington in three or four weeks, uud then for the iirst time since the war, the old Fourth District will havo a representative in Congress worthy of her people. Col. Harris is going to Washington to work, to do whatever he oan for tho benefit of the oppressed section he represents. We are very glad to have our District repre sented by a man in every respect so worthy. Col. Harris, as is well kuownin this immediate section, is a gentleman; his character, as a loan and Christian, is above reproach or suspicion. Withal he is a m m of decided ability, of very posi tive character, amt one of the most affable men in the land. A hundred snob men in Congress would be an inestimable blessing to the country. LaUrange Re porter. The Savannah and Memphis It. It. We learn on authority that the lust rock pier of the bridge over the Tallapoo sa river will be timailed by Thursday night, and already four spans of the super structure are raised. Trains will be cross ing in less than three w eeks. The com pany has enough iron to lay the track a mile beyond the bridge, and before this work has been completed, it is hoped, more rails will have been received. We believe the extension across the river will make the leugth of tiie completed road some fifty miles. Krilliaut Marriage iu YVjrnnton. Yesterday morning at the residence of Mr. Thos. F. Threewitts, iu Wynnton, Wiu. li. Chambers, Esq., and Miss Laura L. Cloptou, were married. The ceremony was jieiformed by the remarkable Dr. L. Pierce, who had officiated at the marriage of the grandfather, and the father of the groom. The bride was beautifully dress ed iu blue silk, and with ihe chaste blush of youth and love upon her cheek, was a fair picture of grace and loveliuess. The attendants were ('has. J. Swift and Miss Susie Threewitts, Flewellen Chain- , here and Miss Lila Redd. I>ea<l. Mr. J. W. Chick, the express messen ger who was so badly injured at Seago Station one night the past week, died last attorn.sm at 5 o'clock, in Macon. He came from Virginia, and has been in the Atlanta express office for several years. | Lately he was transferred to this route. ! His age was about twenty-one years, lie j is a nephew of Mr. 1). IT Norris, Manager of the Macon Western Union Telegraph ; office, and has a sister in Atlanta. He was oue of the most genial and clever of men. A Noble Contribution. The Eagle and Pheuix Mauufactuiiug Cniupauy, on yesterday, donated fifty-two pairs of their splendid cotton blankets to the suffering sick of Memphis. They were shipped this morning by Capt. S. H. Hill, agent of the Southern Express Company, free of charge, as all contributions have been aud will be by said company. The Manufacturing Company had pre viously given ft2s in cash to Memphis, and to Shreveport. Heavy Damages. We hear that the family of Mr. Miller, <he mail agent on the Southwestern rail road, who was killed in the collision at station, has instituted suit, or in tends doing so, for if 10,000 damages. We do not know how the law may be in such cases, where the person killed occupies a l*>sition which subjects him on every rt n t,J 11 probability of such danger. He seems to accept the risk. Accessions to baptist Church. Sunday, eleven persons joined tLe Bap tist Church—teu by letter and one by ex perience. Four were immersed at night. VOL. XV. Sidewalk Notes. The Eagle «fc Phenix Company gives greenbacks in exchange for its certificates to operatives, when they desire it. We saw this done yesterday. The Columbus Guard's Band is in Ma cod, playing for the Catholic Fair. Show agents are now making this re quest : “ Loving parents are beseeched not to bring their little ones that cry aloud, as it interrupts the performance, and causes other heads and hearts to ache besides their own.” Cal Wagner was an engineer on tho 1 Stato Hoad, when it was in charge of the military authorities that ruled Georgia for a bhort time after the war ; so we are told by a gentleman who knows the fact. A tomperenee man discoursed thusly to an imbiber the other day: “When the world had became so corrupt that the Lord could do nothing with it, he was obliged to give it a thorough sousing in | cold water.” “Yes,” said he with the red i nose, “but it killed every critter on the i face of the earth.” A man from Harris county has sent a live headless chicken to the State Fair. We hear that some Grangers speak of establishing a warehouse in Columbus, where they can get free storage. How about insurance ? Holstead A C0.,0f this city, sent a num- ! her of improved agricultural machines 1 Ac., to the State Fair. Miss Sallie Grant has sent for exhibi- | tion at the State Fair a beautiful tapestry picture—David playing on his Harp. Water Works. After many years discussion, Council i has adopted a sensible ordinance for building water works. The source is a large creek three miles north of the city, eighty-five feet above the level of the curb stone of the Georgia Home Building, which during the dryest summer w ill dai ly furnish one million gallons of water. The estimate is that with SIOO,OOO of eight per cent, bonds, the amount appro priated in the ordinance, whose minimum price is eightycents,will build a three mil lion gallon reservoir and distribute water ovor the whole city. Ten miles of piping inside the corporation limits will supply every quarter of Columbus. The works will pay a little at first and largely iu a few years, and in five years will not only pay interest on bonds but yield a revenue to the city. The gravitation system dis- i penses with all engineers, etc. Fire- j plugs will be under city control. Now, I when iron and labor is cheap is the time ! to make contracts. Money may soon be come abundant, as flush times succeed tight ones, and then investments in safe bonds will be sought with avidity. Such are the main arguments used in favor of the ordinance, and they are good. The people vote on the question in thir ty days. Anodic r Collision on die South ivestern Railroad. Tuesday morning about eight o'clock, tho lumber and gravel train collided elev en miles from Columbus. Both engines were badly damaged and some cars slightly injured by Ihe breaking of bumpers, etc. It seems tlio lumber train followed out the regular freight, but tho conductor failed to have a flag put on the forward engine or notify its officers where ho was going. The gravel train was up the road, waited on a sideling until the freight pass ed and the officers having no intimation or thought that a train wascoming, moved on down to their work. While turning a curve the collision occurred. Engineers and firemen jumped off and were unin jured. Mr. DeWolf, senior proprietor of this paper, who was on the lumber train, was slightly burned on the wrist by being thrown by the shock against the stove. The conductor of the gravel train, Mr. T. J. Girr, had his wrist sprained. The officers of the lumber train are considered in fault, because they were following a train and were not flagged. They are Macon men as were those in the collision of the past week. v Last afternoon passenger trains had to transfer at ihe wreck, and hence consid erable delay occurred. The track has now been repaired and the wrecked en gines brought to Columbus. An Attempt to Throw an Atlanta and West Point Traill from Ihe Track. Sandy Merlin, our esteemed corres pondent, furnishes this item from West Point: An attempt was made Monday night, tiy come dastardly person, to throw the Atlanta and West Point down freight and passenger train from ihe track into Bdtaeh creek, by placing a large square piece of limber endwise in the middle of the track, sloping forward so as to strike the engine fairly. The obstruction was placed about twenty feet from tho bridge, and was struck by the engine before it was seen by engineer Sheridan. The timber ran up into the pilot, and was dragged to a point half way over the creek, when it dropped into the stream. No damage done, but ihe “it might have been” is fearful to contemplate. This occurred twenty-two miles above YVest Point. XVliat a Large Advertiser Says. A member of a prominent mercantile firm told us a few days since that their advertising in the Columbus and neigh boring country newspapers, cost (hem last j year a little over #1,200, including cards aud circulars. They did not regiet the outlay as they had made money by it, and their gains had largely increased. No money is wasted by advertising. The gain may not be immediately percep tible, but it is certain- A. T. Stewart, the largest merchant in the world, whose : stores are palaces, still continues to ex tensively advertise, not only in New \ork, but iu numbers of papers throughout the ■ country. He has already admitted that j he is largely indebted to this medium for his success and wealth. Money Raised by Columbus Baptist As sociation. From the minutes of the forty-fifth ses- ; sion we learn that thirty churches sent up #ICO 80 to the late meeting at Hamilton. The largest amount. #lO2. was coutribn- ' tul by Bolhesda church, in Harris county; the second largest, #7B, by Hamilton; the , third. #55 75, by Bethel, in this county; the fourth, #sl 55, by Columbus; the fifth, #'-’8 50, by Mount Zion, in this county. The collections and contribu tions amounted to #00.• Besides #I ( <HH) were secured mostly in notes for Mercer University. Smolli**r**«l in Colton. We learn that a little sou of Mr. An thony, living near Kedbone, iu Marion county, was smothered to death in a pile of cotton iu the seed, one day last week. This child, who was about four years of age. was, with other children, playing upon the cotton, and they had made a deep hole in the top of it, into which the little fellow fell bead downwards, and being unable to raise himself out, and the other small children nuable to extricate him, he was smothered. Mr. Anthony, we understand, went from this county to Mat ion. Money for Cotton. Farmers must not think that Columbus pays only Eagle aud Pheuix money for cotton. She gives greenbacks when they are preferred. Eagle aud Pheuix certifi cates pass current at all the stores, pay debts and buy New York exchange, and ' everyone in Columbus is glad to get them. THE WEEKLY SUN. A SILLY NORTHERN NOTION. Yve find that the belief that a vast amount of greenbacks is bearded at the | South is more prevalent than we thought it to be when we noticed the idea, attrib j uted to tho New York Times, that the ; negroes of this section had many millions hoarded in their log cabins. The New York Daily Bulletin of the 22d iust., in an article headed “Where the Greenbacks are Hoarded,” says: “From information received from various sources there are good reasons for believing that the pure minded, unsophisticated farmers in the interior are the real cause of tho dead lock that now prevails in business. The flow of money is all iu one direction. It goes into the pockets of the farmers and planters in exchange for provisions, cotton and other commodities, and little or none of it comes back Th_ turners have heard of the financial crash in New York, and influenced by unreasonable fears they hold on to all the greenbacks they receive. In place of paying their debts for groceries, clothing, and agricul tural commodities supplied to them dur ing the last year or season, they selfishly keep the money in their pockets or store it away in the traditional “old stocking.” That this hoarding policy is very general in the counties of this State bordering on the Hudson river, in Long Island, Nem Jersey, and in Pennsylvania, we have very clear and satisfactory evidence." The Bulletin may be rightly informed as to what is doing in those sections from which it has “very clear and satisfactory evidence,” but in going beyond them and judging other sections by those nearer home, it has fallen into error. Oar South ern planters were entirely out of money when the cotton season opened, and they certainly have not yet received enough greenbacks for the new' crop to enable them by hoarding it to mako a scarcity of the currency, even if they had stowed away all that has been received. The North has been annually sending down millions of greenbacks to the South about this time of the year, to buy cotton, but this year Ihe amount sent has been scant and inadequate. That s what makes greenbacks so scarce here, and forces us to resort to local currency. The South era people havo had no hand ;n the w ild railroad and oilier speculations out of which the crash and the panic came. They are sufferers by, not partners in, the gam bling practices that precipitated this financial trouble. Their great staple is not bringing its value, and they profit precious little by tho shrinkage of other values. They need stability for their own protection against the effects of de moralized commercial and financial sys tems elsewhere; and we hope that as they canuot get it by reform, they will securo it by commercial independence. THE DEMOCRATIC TARTY. Tho New York World of the 22d iust., has an editorial on the strength and pros pects of the Democratic party of the country, w hich wo regret our inability to copy in full. The World shows that Greeley and Brown, tho candidates supported by tho Democratic party in the Presidential elec tion of last year, had a considerable ma jority of the white y ote of the Union. The negro vote it computes at 800,000, estima ting that the negro vote in proportion to population was only as large as the white proportion. But making some allowance far the known fact that the negroes vote nearer their full strength, and adding 300,000 to the opposition column for Democrats who were dissatisfied with Greeley and did not vote, it makes out a white majority of 558,821 for ihe Demo crats. The World regards the Liberal Repub lican party, as a distinct organization, as already defunct—that it cannot to-day command 100,000 separate votes in all the States of the Union. It thinks that the issues presented by the Farmers' Granges are of State rather than national politics, except that of the Tariff, or. which question they must side with the Demo crats. But tho Granges can only expect to obtain controlling strength iu a few States, and therefore cannot be the nucleus of a national party. The Democratic party only can be such a nucleus, and to it all the opponents of Radicalism must rally. The World says : “It is cn inevi table necessity that the whole body of op position voters cluster around the Democ racy ; and it is of little consequence what would-be leaders may choose to do or say to preserve their consistency. It stands to common sense that tho three millions of Democratic voters must form the bulk of any successful opposition party. They need only a few hundred thousand re cruits to make them a majority. They will gain these recruits, not by capturing Republican leaders and journalists, who, as last year’s experience proves, can con trol no votes, but by direct appeals to the people. If a successful new party were formed, the Democracy would necessarily form nine-tenths of it. They would bean overwhelming majority in every primary meeting, iu every caucus, in every county conv< ntion, every State convention, and in the national convention for nominating a candidate for the Presidency. The peo ple have too much penetration to attach any importance to a mere change of name, when a controlling majority of the uow party would necessarily consist of Demo crats. A change of name would be a mere skulking sham, which honest Democrats have too much self-respect to practice.” the countereeiters We suspected when the telegraph ad vised us of the arrest of a large number of persons in Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee, on a charge of coun terfeiting, (hat they were only the dupes upon whom sharpers of other sections had passed their “queer.” The fuller ac count which we copy from the New York Herald strengthens this opiuion. The very small amounts reported as found in the possession of these uien, as well as those arrested in East ieunessee, do not furnish any strong evidence lhat they are the counterfeiters, or even in collusion with them. The aduitted high respecta bility of some of the men arrested in j North Carolina is also suggestive of their innocence of counterfeiting. It looks as if the Government had only found locali ties in which the counterfeit money had been freely circulated, and must look else where for the counterfeiters, and we strongly suspect that it will have to look further North for them. DIRECT TRADE. We are glad to learn from the Albany J/em that Col. Tift has found at the North backets of his direct trade enter prise, but would have been much more encouraged if he could have obtained as surances that a steamship line would be started this instead of next w inter. The yeirs of the 21th says : Hon. Nelson Tift's recent visit to the North, in the interest of the direct trade movement, was quite satisfactory. Ne gotiations were inaugurated for a line of steamers, aud it is believed the great un dertaking will be successfully accomplish ed within a twelve month at farthest. Col. Tift is sanguine, aud wherever he expresses couvictiou that a work will be accomplished, our faith is tremendously strengthened. COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4,1873. GEORGIA NEWS. The Atlanta Ileruld of Sunday publish es statements made by the notorious Chap Norris, charging some of the Deputy United States Marshals in upper Georgia with the taking of bribes from persons arrested for violation of the Revenue laws. Norris gives tho namos of a num ber of persons so arrested and released, with tho amounts paid by each. Other parties also churge tho saute practices upon Deputy Marshals. But tho Herald, considering the character of Norris, ad vises the public to suspend judgment un til the facts can be ascertained by an in vestigation which has been instituted. The Griffiu News corrects its statement that a plaintiff suing tho Macon & YVest ern Railroad for SIOO,OOO, in Henry Cir cuit Court, recovered only SSOO. That case was not the one tried. A negro su ing for a much less sum, recovered tho , SSOO. The News says that Mr. Edward Dug dale, living near its city, has discovered a process by which persimmon seed makes excellent coffee, and has obtained a patent for it, under which a company will go into the manufacture of the article. Some who have tried the article pronounce it equal to the beat coffee of any descrip tion, that’s what dke News says. Now we will wait to hear what Fitch has to say about it. If he can tell, after drinking a cup of it, and looking in a glass at the shape of his[mouth, whether he is whist ling or laughing, our incredulity will be overcome, and all the persimmon seed left in making our North Carolina beer shall be converted into Georgia coffee. The Sumter Republican says next to Col. Lee Jordan, of Lee county, Mr. Jno. A. Cobb, of Sumter county, is the heav iest planter in the State. He cultivates this year about 1,850 acres in cotton, CO in wheat, 250 in oats and 1,650 in corn, aggregating about 3,900 acres in cultiva tion. He has on his plantation about 100 horses and mules, aud 150 cattle, which, together with farming implements, are worth SIO,OOO. He is agent for Mary Cobb, whose plantation is worth about $75,000. Judge Clark has adjourned tho October term of Schley Superior Court over to the 3d Monday in December. Tho Dawson Journal says Juno Daniel, the old Democratic negro of Terrell coun ty, was the only man, white or black, who paid his tax when the collector made his first round in that county. The famous Dupree will case was com promised a few days since by the lawyers on both sides. The upshot of the whole matter is, that it is conceded thero was no will. The Gainesville Eagle says tho farmers of that section are busy sowing wheat and will devote a large area to that purpose. The same paper has this paragraph : YVe are informed that Mr. John 11. Moss, who killed Alexander some time ago, in the upper part of Banks county, is lviug at the point of death, from the effect of worn Is inflicted by Alexander aud his wife, tho former with liis knife, and the latter with a “snake” polo. Moss’ spinal column was broken in the row by r Mrs. Alexander. The Supreme Court of Georgia, on Tuesday, rendered judgments of affirm ance in the following cases from Musco gee : Sophia YY'. Hargroves, James T. Thweat, et. al. vs. James K. Redd, execu tor, et. al.; Georgians Moses vs. Brook lyn Life Insurance Company; James C. Cook vs. N. A S. Railroad Company. George Copelan, colored, was executed in Greensboro, on the 23d inst., for tho murder of Miss S. A. Richards (whom he also raped aud robbed) in May, 1871. The rope broke when he was first let fall, and ho had to be swung up again. He fully confessed the crime on the gallows. Among the minerals on exhibition at the State Fair is a nugget of gold, worth $35, in its original state, as found near Acworth, Cobb county. Mr. Rufus Connell, living near Tired Creek, in Decatur county, had his gin house destroyed by fire on the 19th instant, in which he lost five bales of cotton together with a quan tity of seed. The Griffin Star says that one of its townsmen has struck a vein of gold-bear ing qnartz rock on his lot in the city. YVe are prepared for almost any reports from Griffin, now that they have taken to drinking persimmon seed coffee, as well as the inevitable whisky. The Sumter Republican brings fuller reports of the fire in Americas on Mon day evening. The tire broke out in the building occupied by I. J. Hudson as a grocery —cause unknown. The following persons suffered by the destruction of buildings and goods: C. YY. Felder A Son, dry goods and groceries, loss $34,000, insurance $18,(KM); I. J. Hudson, grocery, Ac., loss $7,000, insurance $1,000; A. B. Sewell, harness shop, loss not known; T. H. Tinsley, jewelry, loss $1,500, no insur ance; S. Anthony A Son, furniture, Ac., lO6S $1,200 or $1,500, insurance $1,000; estate of A. B. Addison, confectionery, loss $3,000; C. E. Crocker, dry goods, loss SI,OOO, insurance S2,(KM); John E. Sullivan, jeweller, loss about $500; L. B. Frank, merchandize, loss large, insurance $5,000. Several other persons lost large ly by removal and damaeg to goods. A REMINISCENCE. The Old Cherokee Land Quarrel. Columbus, Ga., Oct. 21, 1873. Ed. Sun : The events which were the occasion of the controversy between President Adams, of the United States, and ex-Governor Troup, of Georgia, in 1831, may not be known to the young men of this day. YVith your consent, I will give a statement of the facts as an incident of history. This dispute came near causing a conflict the State of Georgia and the United States. YV. H. Crawford advised Gov. Troup not to act precipitatedly, and that prevented what seemed inevitable, a war between tho State and the United States. The case was as follows : There was a com pact between the United States and Geor gia, that if Georgia would relinquish her claim to the Territory situated between the Chattahoochee aud the Mississippi rivers, the United States woald extinguish the Indian title to the lands within the chartered limits of Georgia. The United States had organized Territorial Govern ments, and formed the States of Missis sippi and Alabama, and realized much wealth from the sale of said lunds. The United States seemed tardy in fulfilling the compact, and Georgia wanting the lands for settlement, Gov. Troup resolved to have the lands of the Cherokees sur veyed and take possession, and the United States not having treated with the Chero kee Nation for the same, President Adams forbade the Governor from such a course, upon a penalty of war with the United States authority. Eventually, when Georgia came in pos session, the State had the lands surveyed, and passed an act to dispose of the same by lottery, each citizen or head of a family to be entitled to a chance in the drawing. The Legislature could not have devised a plan to resnlt more injuriously to the morality of the people, it was the cause of fraud, litigation and speculation, and comparatively few really benefited— your correspondent was a sufferer, by buying a lot of this land that was fraudu lently drawn. Had these lands been sold by the State, and the money judiciously invested, the interest would have been sufficient to have supported free schools throughout the State to the latest genera tion, and the State would have funds for all the State needs. Georgia has had three or four additions by purchases of Indian lands, and had the proceeds been wisely managed she might at this time have been one of the wealthiest States in i the Union. Zeeo. Written for the Sun. TRUE AND FALSE PRIDE A PICTURE OF REAL LIFE! BX C. "Soil your hands with work ! Descend i to become a menial for your husband! YVhy, Lena, what are you thinking of ? j YYhen I marry, I will certainly look for I better things than these,” “Miss Eldridge, yon do not corupae ■ hend me at all. Labor done to promote my own happiness and tho happiness of i another, will leave but little stain, unless >t be in the imagination of one who enter tains tho most erroneous notions in re gard to our duties and obligations.” The above is part of a conversation be tween Miss Clarine Eldridge and Miss Lena Frank, on the evening upon which we propose to introduce them to the read er. They had been class-mates and com panions at school, and now they had met in the full bloom of early womanhood. Both were engaged, and were to pass soon and upon the same day to the altar, and upon the evening to which we have just referred, they were imparting their hopes and their plans for the future each to the other. YVe will not detain the reader by any lengthed description of either, but in passing, will simply remark that some thing in the appearance of Miss Eldridge invariably reminded you of the magnifi cent beauty of a splendid rose, while Miss Frank’s loveliness as readily recalled the purity of the lily. Let us pause for a moment and enquire what it was that called forth the opening remarks of Miss Clarine Eldridge. Miss Frank had just told her companion of her engagement to a young man that both knew to be really without means, and dependent upon his salary as a clerk for a living. She had also told of her firm de termination, by the most rigid economy and industry, to make her intended hus band’s small income a competency for their support. For love she was willing to dispense with all useless help and the superfluities of luxury and gaudy show, and to endeavor to make even the small income of her husband not only sufficient for their maiutainance, but to lay up yearly a small amount for the future. It was the unfolding of these plans which called forth the remarks of Miss Eldridge which we have just quoted, and then in turn she proceeded to portray the brilliancy of the match that she herself was about to make. YVith tho great wealth of her intended husband she promised herself a life of ease, of luxury and display, ‘ho finest horses, the finest carriages, aud tho fluest house, and an over-varying aud never ceasing round of pleasures. Bhe was cer tain that she would never marry for love in a cottage, aad it is even doubtful if, in her over-weaning love for display, she had ever fejt the inspiring influences of love at all. The great event of their lives was at length come. It had passed, aud each had settled in her home. There we will pay them a hurried visit. The home of Lena Frank (for we will still call them both by their maiden names) was a nice little cottage, aurrouud with flowers and evergreens, and within it was a picture of neatness and comfort —everything in good taste and order. She had kept her promise well —attending herself to all her lighter household duties, she had not found it necessary to main tain a host of lazy, pampered help. Go to tho house of Clarine, and you seo a grand display of costly furnishing, and she herself satiated with a constant round of pleasures, lounging in ennui in in the midst of disorder, and if only a few years later you visit her, yon will still find her amid the same or greater disorder suffering in discontent and pain. She has not found the happinesss flowing in upon her from wealth that she had counted on. She has not found the love in her com panion she anticipated. She has not found the revolving gayeties of luxury and pleasure so satisfying, as she once be lieved them; and worse than all, she has just learned from her companion that great and sudden reverses have just over taken him iu business, and that it is even possible that now they may be compelled to part with all the appendages of wealth upon which she had once so set her heart. But bitterer than these to bear, the fact that but a few hours since the unkind words of an inebriated husband have for the first time fallen upon her ears. A few months later let us go to her home again. It is no longer a home of wealth with costly furnishings, but a meager, sqnallid cabin with its lonely roof above the once proud and haughty but now unhappy woman, and now around her feet you find some help less children, begging for the food that she in her great poverty is unable to af ford them. YVith ribald songs and un kind words, you see her inebriated hus band entering her presence, or you find him a beggar on the street, asking even for the pittance of a dime; but it is not to purchase food for his hungering children. “Soil your hands with labor!” Does she in her afflictions ever recall these words ? “Make yourself a menial for your husband !” Does she in her poverty ever think of this —reflecting that gentle healthful exercise is only conducive to purity of soul, and that labor, whether in tho household or in the Sold, is degrada tion only to those who undertake it with a reluctant and groveling spirit. But again we will turn to tho home of Lena Frank. She has left her humble cottage. Her efforts, and her husband's too, have been deserved and have been crowned with blessings. Guided by her good sense, by economy and industry, she has enabled her husband to save some thing of his yearly income, aud by his skill and faithful attention to business he has finally secured a full partnership with his former employer, aud now in a full career of successful business, he can af ford to be more liberal in his expendi tures, and he and his faithful companion are enjoying the happiness their good sense and prudence have so well deserved. Sidewalk Noteg. The best course in the world is to take things as they come—take them easy and take a good many of ’em. The secret of success in society is to talk to the middle aged and young ladies, and listen when the old ones talk to you. It is currently reported there will be three candidates for Mayor in the munici pal election on the second Saturday in December. Strike a boy in the eye with a ball and the bawl will come out at his mouth. It is estimated the negro minßtrel shows that have been to Columbus in the last two weeks, have taken eight hun dred to a thousand dollars from Colum bus ; and yet money is scarce. A proposition, favored in Adminstra tion circlts, is to have the inauguration day of the Presidential term changed from the fourth of March till the first of July, so as to have it and the new fiscal year begin on the same day. It is not im possible that the President may advocate in his annual message, a constitutional amendment making this change; but it is not likely to encounter a very favorable reception from a body engrossed with schemes of financial relief. | A GRAND STATE FAIR. EIRST DAY. , Large Crowd and Magnificent Exhibition —Cursory Review—Races. ! _ ; Special Correspondence of tho Sun.] Macon, Ga., October 27th. Y T isitors arc coiniug into the city by thousands. To-night 200 alone register ed at tho Brown House, and there must have been equally as many at the other hotels. The bar rooms are crowded and the wassail is right merry. Ye sports are here in force and faro, roulette and every possible species of gambling are amply provided for. These are the invariable attendants of a Fair, such as a man should shun; for not one game in a thousand is played fairly. YVe made a rough count to-day aud found there were at least 1,500 to 2,IKK) professional gamblers in the city plying their vocation, Every plaoe iu Georgia is represented by beautiful young ladies, and the hotel parlors are radiant with their loveliness. Every town has sent a P. G. G. To-morrow will bring thousands more of people. Thursday aud Friday will probably see the largest attendance. The hotels are not yet crowded much. THE EXHIBITION promises to be the grandest ever given in the South. Every department will be represented on a magnificent scale. Did yon ever know a Fair that was ready to be visited on the first day ? This one does not prove an exception. Every thing on the grounds was hurry, bustle and confusion. The exhibitors were hard at work getting their goods and wares in position. It is appareht that the Fair will be an immense one. Towards night arrangements assumed some form of or der. Not many visitors were on the ground as all knew the day was one of preparation. There is not a large display of MACHINERY, and we fear will not be. There nre some good ones, but a variety is wanting. Sewing Machines plentiful. Holstead A Cos., of Columbus, mako quite a credita ble display of agricultural implements. These young men evince great pluck and enterprise. Tho vehicles shown are large in number and elegant. THE POULTRY SHOW surpasses all expectation and it was high. Every variety of chickens, some headless but alive, is represented, and turkies, geese, guineas, and pigeons aro in large numbers. J’oultry ia counted by the hun dred. At a late hour to-night a whole car load of poultry arrived from Massa chusetts, aud many are coming from other quarters. Every stall in the STOCK DEPARTMENT is crowded, and many animals are quar tered in the city. There are several hun dered horses, including a number of fast trotters and runners. Tho racing will be flue. Mules are well represented, and jacks Ac., aro not wanting. Mevryman, of Maryland, and other stock raisers have splended blooded cattle. The ladies havo beautifully decked the FLORAL HALL. In this will be placed pictures, fancy articles, Ac. Among them will be the beautiful tapestry picture of Miss Sallie Grant of Columbus, representing David playing on his harp. Musical instru ments, of which there are a large collec tion, will bo exhibited here. COUNTY DISPLAYS are fine. Cobb, Clayton, Pike and Bibb are the principal contestants. Cobb sent twenty car loads of her products. Clay ton brings a brass band of fourteen pieces —uniform, black velvet jacket,, and black pants, laced with gold, to compete for the prize. The couniy displays take place in Premium Hall. The scalesmen fill half of the HALL OF MECHANIC ARTS. Fairbanks makes a splendid display, and so does Howe. COLUMBUS EXHIBITORS. All our factories are represented. The Eagle and Phenix mills have a line of su perb goods, and all our mills show well. Holstead A Cos., make a good show, and so do others that we did not note in the confusion. MUSIC from the stand is furnished by the Athens band. The Jonesboro band and one from Brunswick will compete for the prize. ARTICLES are arriving constantly. A car load from New York came to-night. RACES TO-DAY.

I will take no centennial in mine. Lookke-on. SECOND DAY— Macon, Ga., Oct. 28. Water in season is the greatest inven tion the world has yet seen to lay dust and produce crops. A slight shower Monday settled the dust, and though the grounds are trampled over by thousands, it is still kept down by sprinkling carts, supplied from a huge reservoir construct ed near the river, which by a revolving wheel Ls kept full. Hence the grass is kept bright and green. The fountains, about a dozen in number, are kept going, and the ever moving throngs made the scene gay and animated. THE STABLES have for us the greatest attractions. There are large numbers of splendid horses. Jim Clay, the celebrated black 1 stallion, well-known in Columbus, belong | ing to Mr. Walters, of Albany, attracts general attention. There are over one !Ln idred horses. Cobb has ten on exhi tion which were raised in that county. | The cattle, too, make a splendid dis play. Some half a dozen pure Herefords, of imported origin, ’are exhibited; also, Durham's and other fine breeds. Cobb county shows a cow which yields six gal lons of milk per day. Swine and sheep and other animals are hero, and many of unusual excellence. THE POULTRY shown presents some great curiosities. There must be some fifteen hundred on the ground. Some of the chickens weigh from twelve to seventeen pounds. Some of the turkies and guineas are snowy white. Almost every color is seen. FLORAL HALL has been made a gem of beauty. The wonders of the Arabian Nights and all that hackneyed stuff are nothing in com parison. The eye is bewildered with lovliness. The walls and counters are covered with charming things. Many rare and choice flowers, and troppical plants and fruits shed their fragrance oft the air. Here, too, are displayed the specimens of home industry—dresses of every class and grade made by women, mala gar ments by the same, needle work, tapestry, Ac., and also rich displays by merchants. Sharpe, of Atlanta, exhibits $30,000 worth of jewelry; YV’ing A Solomon, of Macon, rival him. Devlin & Cos., of New York, show military uniforms. People of Columbus are made proud by the varied fabrics and beautiful cotton blan kets manufactured by the Eagle A Phenix Mills. The Sewing Machine men are on the upper floor. ladies’ contest. One hundred and six ladies, over fifty years of age, have entered each from half a dozen to a dozen and a-half pairs of socks. THE ART GALLERY is worth examining. It is in the third floor of Floral Hall. Numbers of exquis ite pictures line its walla, and the photo graphic views and choice specimens are splendid. GINS AND. MACHINERY. Hall, Gullett, Scattergood, Massey, Pratt aud Sangeralljhave and others have horse power and screws. This department is poorly represented. SIDE SHOWS. There must be two hundred of them scattered around. Mr. Jas. Simons of Columbus, has a six legged calf. There is every possible swindle. Pickpockets are plentiful. If you love to bet, you can loffe your money vory readily. Tlio great Eastern Circus pitches its tents iuside the grounds to-morrow, and gives three exhibitions per day, for which Haight pays $250 per day. Ho offered a thousand for the privilege of pitching his tents just outside the entrance. Ho leaves Friday night. THE WAREHOUSE is filled with bales of cotton, bay etc., YVe predict that a bale sent by Mr. Sid dall, of Lee county Alabama, per Swift, Murphy A Cos., of Columbus, wins tho cotton premium. VEGETABLES are fine—7o pound pumpkins, 15 pound beets, 10 pound sweet potatoes, peas, sugar cane Ac., illustrate Georgia handsomely. By the way, Gordon county has entered the county list. The Tivalry it is thought will be between Cobb and Bibb, for the $4,000 premium. BANDS. There are some ten here tooting all over the ground. The best band is said to be from Savannah, and is composed of negroes. THE AMPHITHEATRE exhibition this morning was devoted to showing off the trotting, pacing and draught horses and blooded stallions. Mr. YV. B. Hudson, of Griffin, drove a span of bay horses that cannot be equal ed in Georgia. J. J. Clay drove in his four spanking grays. It was a snperb display. He is a reckless driver, and ex hibits wonderful nerve, coolness and skill. He was loudly applauded. THE RACES iu the afternoon were unimportant. The first was for three year olds for $l5O, best two in three; first to receive SIOO and second SSO. Five entries. “Little Dar ling," driven by Clay, won both heats in 3:17. The defeated drivers protested her age. The second race was for two year olds for S4OO, best two in three. Gus Mayes won both in 3:41. Three entries. THE MILITARY COMPANIES are expected to-morrow or next day. Three drill Friday afternoon and three Saturday morning. A LIBERTY POLE, that about one hundred negroes had been endeavoring to raise all day in the centre of the race course, fell this afternoon, just as it was nearly straight. The inten tion was to hoist aU. S. flag. They will try to raise it to to morrow. Hope the thing will fall again. THE “DRINK. ATITe” of visitors is being amply satisfied by the meanest liquor in the State. Three men are required to make change. Mr. Cal houn, formerly of the Columbus Post office has a cigar stand on the grounds. THE GEORGIA EDITORS crowd the “Editor’s Cottage.” “Old Shrop.” from Eufanla, put in his phiz to day. All are well supplied with the best. Lookee-on. “A VI.ASTER’S" REPLY TO "OLD MUSCOGEE.” October 25th, 1873. Ed. Sun : I desire the use of your coi ning to reply ouly to so much of the arti cle signed “Old Muscogee” as charges me with insincerity, and gives as a reason that I commence by eulogizing Mr. Young, and close by charging him with illegally issuing bills. In reply let me assert that I consider Mr. Y'oung entitled to the credit of re building the factories after the war ; that the water power would have been eventu ally utilized I have no doubt, but no one familiar with the surroundings of Colum bus in 1800 and 1807 can hesitate in be lieving that but for him the means would not have been furnished for severalyears, of building factories in Columbus, which for perfection of machinery, convenience and safety of buildings, compare favora bly with any in America cr Europe. As to the illegal issue of bills, I have never seen one signed except by N. J. Bussey as President, and G. Guuby Jordan, Sec retary. If these issues are authorized by the board of directors, then Mr. Young, with the rest of the board, would bear a divided responsibility but before I could properly charge Mr. Young with an illegal act in issuing bills, I should have to have some evidence that he, and not N. J. Bussey, was President of the Eagle and Phenix Manufacturing Company. A Planter. Public Schools of Columbus. B. F. Coleman, President of Public Schools, reported the following estimates for the soolastic year, 1873-74, to the last meeting of City Council: WHIT* SCHOOLS. 12 Teachers’ salaries, Day School $7,575 00 1 “ “ Nl«nt School... 120 00 Incidentals—repairs aos Ou SB,OOO 00 COLORED SCHOOLS.

Special to the Sr s by Southern it Atlantic Line. | Amektous, Ga., Oct. 28.—12 m.—Ten | business houses destroyed by tire last night. Loss $120,000. Insurance $87,- I 000. I STOCKS AXd'thE PANIC. i It is estimated that the total shrinkage | of stock values since the beginning of the panic, has been $50,000,000. The New York 1 ribune ascribes this result mainly to Commodore \ underbill's refusal to save the Union Trust Company by pay ing his debt to it of $1,750,000. ‘ Van derbilt’s own loss on stocks is estimated at $20,000,000. This loss is largely nom inal, however, as ha owns the same amount of railroads as before, but their receipts are reduced by the blockade of business. The Journal of Commerce ac cuses the Commodore of refusing to pro tect 30,000 shares of Lake Shore belong ing to his daughter, Mrs. Clarke, and al lowing her to go into bankruptcy. It is supposed his object was to buy them in under the rule at present rates, 60<®G2, gaining the difference of some 30 per cent, when the stocks are forced back to 90.
