We cordially com mend this gentleman to our people assuring them that, should they employ him in his line, they will be constrained to say, “well done, good and faithful. The Fence Qcestion. —Ry reference to another column it will be seem that the President of the County Agricultu ral Society, lion. Jos. R. Jones, calls a meeting of the Society, and citizens generally, of the county, at the Court house, in this place, on Tuesday next, to discuss the question of “fence" or j “no fence.” We hope there will be a full attendance. W hatiier. —The past week has been one of intense cold. On Tuesday night last wo had a rain, sleet, and snow-storm, and in the morning a hard freeze, which made navigation quite a difficult opera tion to all “manner of two and four footed beasts. 1 ' But this (Friday) after noon, it is beginning to thaw, and some of the sloppiest streets we ever saw. is the consequence. “On, the snow, the beautiful snow !" may be all very well in poetry; but to one who hasn’t any time to play, and so much work that he can’t take time to get pay for what he does, its all “in tny eye.” We are just in that Ox—we can’t tide time, for the lima it requires to “go for” the individuals from whom we would take pay, and whose “ways are dark and tricks innumerable,” is about one day to the man. Remarkable* PoßM. —The poem on our fir.-t page, from the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, is said by that paper to have been recited by Miss Li/.zn: Botkn, a spiritual medium, under the influence of Km; aa A. Poe. It is cer tainly beautiful, and no less remark able—and breathes the spirit oj Poe, whether I;is spirit or not. We notice some of our exchanges publishing an incorrect and mutilated copy ot to is poem, dated Baltimore, IST-. But tins that we present is correct, and of much older date, having been preserved in our scrap-book since ISG6. ■ - •*?Z>+ The exhibition of-the Agricultural and Mechanical Association of Georgia, at Savannah, promises to be the bc-t of its kind ever before held in Georgia. Last year the Fair in that city was reputed to be the finest of the season eclipsing Macon, Augusta, and Atlanta. This year it will be ten-fold more at tractive than then. It was postponed from the 2d to the 30th instant on ac count of the horse disease, which nvre or less affected every department of the exhibition. The railroads will pass visitors for one fare, and we hope our portion of the State will be well and fully represented. In this connection we desire to express our thanks to Mr. J. H. Estiel, Secretary, for a compli mentary invitation. W e will be there —if we can. C. W. Blood worth, sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment from Robertson county, for aiding and abetting an illegal marriage, was brought to Nash ville Friday and placed in jail, to await trial before the Supreme Court, to which he appealed his case. It is said that he and two others imposed upon a simple girl by pretending to marry her to one of their number, the second act ing as a minister in pronouncing the ceremony, while the third witnessed it. One of the parties subsequently left tor parts unknown, the second was acquitted by the Circuit Court, while BlooJworth was sentenced to tho penitentiary. A Vaccine War.—A rather curious piece f intelligence from Ceutrl Asia relates the outbreak of a mutiny at | Chod.'hent. The cause of this entente was uo other than a somewhat summary i proceeding of the authorities in endeav oring to protect people against the small pox, one of the seourages of the region. Accompanied by so many Cossacks the government surgeons would enter vil lage after village, and pouncing upon t he inhabitants, man, woman or child, where cvcr they might find them, insert the beneficent virus. At Chodshcnt the terror which preceded and followed the medical cavalcade led to open resistance. Fancying the enigmatical punctures in- j tended to mark those sought, out for j transportation to Russia, the people rose against the Cossacks, killed a con- ! pie of them, and also massacred one of ’ their own elders pressed into assisting | at the hateful ceremony. After this the rest can be imagined. A Russian force , having entered the city two of the rioters were executed, nine sent to the Siberian mines, ten banished to the ; North Pole and several thousand fined. Of those banished two were killed by ; the escort before they were well over the borders ot Turkistan. Malleable Glass. —The question of the possibility of manufacturing mal leable glass has been renewed in connec tion with a modern discovery in Aus tria. This glass was mentioned by many ancient writers, especially' by Pliny, who speaks of its being indented when thrown on a hard substance, and then hammer ed into shape again like brass. The world uses a vastly greater amount of glass now than during the early ages, but has never been able to overcome its brittleness. That aeeompli-hed, and it would enter into uses not even suspect* ed now, and probably dispute with iron itself for supremacy as an agent of civili zation. A glass spinner in Vienna has recently made a discovery that may lead to the recovery of the lost link in the chain of early invention, lie is manufacturing a thread of this material finer than the fibre of the silk worm, which is entering largely into the manu facture of a variety of new fabrics, such as cu'hiuns, carpets, table cloth-, -bawls, neckties, figures in brocaded velvet and silk embro dery, tapestry, laces, and a multitude of other things. It it as soft as the finest wool, stronger than siik thread, and is not changed by heat, light, moisture or acids, not liable to 1 fade. So important is the matter deemed that, while the proie.-s is kept a pro found secret, the Austrian Minister of Commerce has already organized schools for glass spinning in various places iu Rohemia, and a variety of manufactured articles are now for sale, and will no doubt soon reach America. If it shall end in the final re-di.-covery of malleable gla-s. so that it can be wrought or rolled into sheets, it will revolutionize much of the world's industry. Indeed, no one could safely predict to what uses it might not be applied, as the material is plentiful in all lands. A Daring Robber. — Richmond. Fa., December 0, 1 s 72.—A most daring high way robbery occurred here to-day. A Northern man, named Stephen Hender son, who had been on business at the Big Bend Tunnel on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, West Virginia, was en route through this city to his home North via the York River route. Ho arrived here last night, and to-day di rected his footsteps to the depot. Here he was accosted by a stranger, who sub sequently turned < ut to be a notorious ex penitentiary convict named Jack Champion. This individual endeavored by his good address and plau-ible manners to keep Henderson in conversation until the train had departed He then decoyed him away from the depot towards Rock ett’s beyond the city limits, and struck him with a sluiig-shot on the temple and knocked him senseless. The penitenti ary practitioner then rifled the pockets of his victim of a large amount, took his entire baggage and then decamped, leav ing him for dead. As soon as Henderson recovered ho notified Chief of Defectives Knox and Detective Wren, who shortly afterwards j arrested Champion at Rocketts. He | was fully identified by Henderson this ! evening. So horrible was the outrage ! that threats of lynching the highway man were freely made by the oitiz< ns. JR. is well manacled and closely guara led in the First Station-house to-night, and will appear before the Police Justice , to morrow fur preliminary examination. Vinnie Ream expects to have better luck than Mrs. Woodhull at busting Reecher. Within little more than three years New York has lost her tlinc gr r ut journalists—Henry J. Raymond, James Gordon ReniMt. and Horace Greeley. - ♦ • ♦- President Grant has just received from Harvard his diploma as Doctor of Laws.* It is to be hoped that tlii* pure- j ly honorary distinction will not induce i him to make further attempts to doctor i our laws, as his previous perfotnauees j in that line have not been particularly j satisfactory. A five hundred nnd thirty-eight ounce gold nugget was lately found in Austra lia. It was in the wall of an old trench that was cut about nine years ago, when a large number of men were at work in the locality. The successive rain falls had. with the continuous washing and crumbling away of the soil, brought this handsome little fortune into daylight. A writer in the Missouri Democrat claims that there has been a falling otf in the weekly morality li t since the epizootic set in, and attributes it to the fact that the doctors can't visit more that half their patients. This rather strengthens the satire of Addison, who said that when a nat ion gets a good many doctors, it grows thin of people. The Nashville Banner sav- that Lieu tenants Ilodgson and Western, in charge of one hundred and fifiy soldiers of the Ist Cavalry, passed through Nashville Thursday afternoon from Louisville via the Louisville and Nashville and the Nashville and Chattanooga roads for Columbia, S. C. They are to bo station ed at Spartanburg and Yorkville, in that State —^ —< On Friday last a citizen of Danville, 111., was buried. After the funeral had started a snake of the blue-racer species was observed following behind. It con tinued thus to follow until the cemetary was reached, when the serpent jumped into the grave and coiled himself around the box containing the coffin. It there remained until tuo .-exton dispatched it, and laid it out upon the ground. A band of music headed the proce-sion, and the question is whether it was that or some other cause which led to thi singular conduct on the part of t lie snake.

Nov. 22 1872. Prospectus for 1873 —Bixlh Year. THE ALDJNE, An Illustrated Monthly Journal, universally a-Lmittcd to be the Handsomest Periodical in the World. A Representative and Champion of Ameiican Taste. Not for Sale it! Hook or News Stores. THE ALDJNE, while issued with all the regularity, ha- none of the temporary or timely .interest ehsrn< teritie of ordin uy pon-lnsd* It is on elegant miscellany of pare. light, and graceful literature; and a collection ol'pictures, the rarest specimens of -artistic skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty of The Aldinc will be most ap preciate 1 after it has boon bound up at the close of die year. While other publications may claim superior cheapness. as compared with rivals of a similar doss, The Aldinc is a unique and original conception —atone and unapproached—absolutely without competition in price or character. The possessor of a complete volume cannot duplicate the quantity of li e paper and engravings in any other shape or number of volumes for ten times its cost; nnd then, there are the chromos. besides! ART X3 Notwithstanding the increase in the price of subscription last Fall, when The A!dine assumes its present noble proportions and representative character, ihe edition uas more than doubled during the past year; proving tlittt the Ameri can public appreciate, and wit! support a sin cere effort in the cause of Art The publishers, anxious to justify the ready confidence ~tlius demonstrated, have exerted themselves to the utmost to develop and improve th - work ; and the plans for the coming year, as unfal lei by Ihe monthly issues, will astonish and delight even the most sanguine friends of The Aldinc. Thu publishers aro authorised to announce de signs from mafiy of the moG eminent artists in America. In addition, The Aldine will reproduce ex amples of the best foreign mast-re, selected with a view to the highest artistic success, ami great est general .interest; avoiding such as have be come familiar, through photographs, or copies of any kind. The quarterly tinted plates, for 1873 will re produee four of John 8 Davis’ inimitable ihiid sketchc.*, appropriate to tho four seasons. These plates, appearing in the issues for January, April, July, an.! October, would be alone worth tho price of year’s subscription. Tho popular feature of a copiously illustrated “Christmas” number will be continued. To possess such a valuable epitome of tho art world at a cost so trifling, will command the subscriptions of thousands in every section of the country ; but, as the usefulness and attrac tions of The Aldine can !>e enhanced, in propor tion to the nuniiii u-iil increase of i's supporters, tho publishers propose to make “assurance doubly dupe,” bv the following unparalleled offer of Prcmlim'(/hromos tor 1873. Every siibseribar to The Airline, who pays lu nd vhui-G tor the year J. 573, will receive, without addi t nnal charge, a pair of beautiful oil chromes, after .1. J. Hitt, tlie eminent' English painter. The pic tures, entitled “The Village Belle,” and ‘‘('.rousing the Moor,” aro 14x20 Inches are printed from 28 different plates, requiring 23 irbpressioim Slid tints to perfect each picture. TTic same ehromoe are sold for fOO per pair in the art stores. As it Is tlie determination of its conductors to keep The Airline out of the reach of competition In every depart ment, tho chromos will bo found forrespondlogly ahead of any tint cm bo offered by other perlodl c.als. Every subscriber will receive a certificate, over the siarn it lire of the publishers, euarauteeini; that the chromos delivered shall be equal to the samples furnished the agent, or the money will tie refunded. The distribution of pictures of this grade, free to the subscribers to a five dollar periodical, will mark an epoch in thebistory of Art: and,eon sidering tlie unprecedented ehc-ipm-a of the price for The Aldine tUalf, tlie inorrei falls bttk- short of a infracto, even to those be.st acquainted with tho aeliievctnunts of inveutive genius and Improved mechanical appliances.

The time for the distribution is rapidly approaching, it will take place in this city on the 4th of December next, Deo Volente. There will positively he no postponement. All sab* will stop on the 20th of Novemhei. The fate of this effort will he decided then. Our people will exhibit their gratitude for the bloody sacrifices of their brave defendeis, or exhibit to the world then cold indiffer ence. They will exhibit their pride or iu loss; their appreciation of those who fell iu service, or a disregard of the noblest saori tiee which man can make for hia own land, his people and their homes. We yet believe the spirits of the dead still haunt the land they loved and for which they died. We yet believe that those who live in these haunts of love will substantially prove their devotion to the dead “Soldiers ;in Gray.” Hundreds, yea thousands upon thousands, will wish to become shareholders in the tribute to their fame between now and the 20th of November. We most respect fully request them to reflect. Those ihous ands of names thrown upon us at the la.-t moment may so overwhelm us as to make it impossible to prepare all ot their certificates, record their names, mail them and prepare the numbers for the drawing on the 4th of December.

If some are not ready and must wait, let their con tributions come as soon as they are able to make them to the Agents in their locality, or to this office. Have no fears of trickery, or fraud, or speculation. Whatever may have happened in other schemes or sections, we have an or ganized Association, consisting of some of our best citizens. An expose will be made of all that has been and will be done in con nection with this enterprise. All will be fair and honOiah'e. If all the tickets shall he sold, the amount to )>e distributed will he In currency, one hundred and thirty-one thousand dol'ars; iu real ostate, ninety-nine thousand dollars; in cotton, twenty thousand dollars, making a grand total of two hundred and fifty thou sand dollars. If all the tickets are notjsold the amount : eceived(after deducting the portion allotted to the Monument, the commissions of the Agents, and the sum required to defray the necessary expenses), will be distributed among the shareholders. The precedence in this latter case will be given—Ist, to tiie 1,741 prizes in currency; 2d, to the real estate; 3d, to the cotton. We are pleased to state that expenses have been much diminished by the liberality of a portion of tbs newspapers, and the boundless assistance rendered us free of charge by the Southern Express Cmipar.y of this city.
