Mtate Democratic Ticket. FORCONGRESs7Btii DISTRICT : GENERAL A R WRIGHT, OF RICHMOND. The Aiiffimta Fair. The Third Annual Exhibition of the Cotton State. Fur Association, opened last week in Au gtuta, on Tuesday, and continued the balance of the week. The inclemency of the weather the two first dsys of the Exhibition, operated considerably •gainst the Association, and only a few visitors were on the gronds daring either of these days.— The Exhibition, we believe, was generally conce ded to be far inferior to that of last year; the entries smaller, and less enterest manifested in the enterprise than usual by the citizens of Augusta. ylohal FT AM.. presented quite an attractive appearance in the display of fuicy work l>y hand, crochet and em broidojy, wax and shell work, flue arts, architect ural drawings, sewing machines, pianos, fruits vegetables, Ac. Among the flne arts, we noticed several landscape scenes painted iu oil colors, by Miss Anna Battle, of Warren county. They were very beautiful,and were much aduiirod. In the INDCHTMiL HAM, we saw some very fine buggies, on exhibition by It. H. May A Cos, elegant carpets, by James G. Bailie A Bro., celebrated cooking stoves, by Messrs. Goodrich A Cos., extra fine flonr and meal by Jno. M. Clark A Cos., and many other articles worthy of mention. The department of MACHINERY was not well represented. Kahnevelior's cotton seed huller, and Avcling A Porter's road traction engine, attracted some attention. The cotton seed huller is a good invention, and will hull from eighteen to twenty bushels of cottonseed per hour. The roadtraction engine neither possesses great speed nor power, and is doubtless unfit to erar be brought into use on our common roads. On Wednesday a respectable crowd was on the grounds to witness the TOURNAMENT CONTEST, Iwtween the Augusts Babre Club and the McDuffie Hussars, of this place. The cavalry company, of Columbia oouniy, was also present, but took no part in the day's oxeroiso, except Dr. Shockley, who rode individually. The prize offered by the Association for Club Coutest, was asilvwr pitcher, goblet sad bowl; and for the successful la.ights, first prize, a gold chain; second prize, a gold ring with oamco head of General Leo ; third prize, an English saddle, and the fourth prize waH a fine •ilAftw* vide, th* Augusta Club toado fil| points, and M.

Considering that our boys entered the contest with only ten day’s practice, against a Vfnb of four year's existence, their tilting was rumtrku. My good. Only eight, members from each Club om teatad for the Club prize. Messrs. A. H. Sturgis W. 0. Harrison, Dr. K. 8. Harrison, James A’ Hamilton, J. H. Casey, L. S. Wilkcrsou, B. M' Eran.. and R. W. Ramsay, of the McDnffiics, rode in the contest. Mr. B, r. Martin rode individually. The Augusta Club winning the prizes, and hav. ingthe right to crown the Queeu „( Love and Beauty and Maids of Honor, ranmauimously transferred that right-most nobly won- to ti lu McDuffie boys. THE CORONATION HALL, name off at the Masonic Hall, ou Thursday evon ing. J. 11. Casey, of our town, crowned Miss Vason, of Augusta, Queen of Lov« and Beauty, Dr. E. fl.

Beg to inform their friends, and the public, that they are now receiving the largest and most complete assortment of ever brought to this market. With an experience of twenty eight years, caterring for the States of Georgia and South Carolinnn, and with ample means to make all out purchases for cash, and with splendid rooms, and light to display our Magnificent Stock, having four floors, forty-one feet wide and one hundred and twentyWe feet deep, as clear and light as day in all parts. We feel perfectly confident in assuring our friends, and iheWblic generally, that we will guarantee all goods leaving our house to be of the \Aty best quality, and we further guarantee them to be as cheap as can be purchased' a t any res pectable House in New York Getting accustomed to our new and splendid Lead quarters, and appreciating the same, we venture the assertion that we have the most magnificent display of Dry Goods ever seeu in Georgia sines the forma tion of the State. It requires little reasoning that the greater the sales, the smaller the profits. Five per cent, on a million is better than forty per ceut, on a hundred thousand. We aim at a Million sales annually, we venture the prediction that the buis ness, will follow. We request the closest scrutiny of our goods, and prices fearing not the com petition of the world. I ,We will show our goods and will send samples free of charge by Mail. REFERENCES. We refer to the following ; T. C. Bligh, London, Eng., T. R- Adley, Charles ton, S. C., Tilman R.

Lanadell, bay horse, Wild Irish man ; I>. 8. Wilkeraon, sorrel horse, Dexter; J. M. Harries, of Augusta, hlaclt horse; C. A. Fleming, bay horse, Glasseye : and George 0 Dugas, Black Diamond. The first heat was won by Fleta, 2nd Black Dia mond, 3d Glasseye. Second beat vas also won by Fleta, Dexter 2d, and Glasseye fid. In the sabre contest, the Augusta boys, as was expected, were again winners, and bore away the prizes offered. On Saturday, the last day of the Fair, a purse of $ 1IK) was offered for the fastest trotting horse, and Ohara, the grant pedestrian gave an exhibiton ot his walking powers. He walked six miles in fifty-nine minutes. The McDuffie and Columbia boys were shown every hospitality by the Augusta people, who w- j knowledges! that without their assistance the Fair i would have been a failure. Our report of the week’s doings would be in complete were we not to mention the splendid THEATRICAL TROUPE of Mrs. D. P. Bowers’, at the Girardy Opera House, during the Fair. Mrs. Bowers' fame is world wide as the great American Tragedienne, and wherever she gf«s she is always greeted with large and brilliant audienoes. Her performance opened at the Opeta House on Tuesday night, in the pluy of “Lady Audly’s Secret,” and from the first to the last same she held the audience spell bound, and olicitsd from them the warmest ap plause. On Wednesday night she appeared in the ! groat historic play of “Queen Elizabeth,” and she was equal to her first night in the display of her fine powers Thursday night, in "Mary Stewart,'- she remained the some favorite, and melted her audience in tears. Friday night and Saturday night,in “The Lady of Lyons," and “Mcbotli.” Every seat was filled in the bouso, and while we did not hear her cither of these nights, w« learu thut she was greatly admi red and was constantly greeted with rapturous ap plauso. Mrs. Bowers is decidedly the best actress we have ever seen, and many who listened to her each night during her stay in Augusta, pronounc ed her tho greatest tragedienne ou the American stage; even exceeding in versatility of powers the famed Janauschck. jit' Mixtaho Corrected. Rome confusion hot been created among the vo ters of our State by tho publication of a telegram from H. W. Slocum, to Col. Hardeman, relative to the manner of voting nt our next eloction. The fol lowing will, we think, settle the question : LaGranoe, Ga., October 22, 1872. Gen. H. W. Slocum, Chairman Congressional Democratic Committee: Does tho law require the votes for Electors and for members of Congress to be printed on sepa rate pieces of paper? H. V. Miller. To which he received the following reply : Washington, I). C., Ootohor 28, 1K72. 11. V. Miller : —There is no law requiring sepa rate tickets. H. W. Slocum. In addition to this direct information, wo take the following item from tho Atlanta Son : There is no change whatever in the manner of voting. Let all prepare aim east tneir votes as UerToforo, | We are Hurry to soe so little intem-t’ manifested >by our citizens in tho approaching election. If :yon are indite rent as to tho Presidential election, IjtJU are certainly not blind to the great importance of electing good and true men to represent us in Congress.
