Tb.© Greorgia, "Weekly Telegraph.. THE TELEGRAPH. MACON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2G, 18G9. The Cotton Gin Epidemic. The work of destroying the cotton gins throughout tho country, by design and acci dent, is, says the Savnnnah Republican, kept up with unabated xigor. Indeed, it appears to rage as an epidemic of combined rascality and chance. The crime of burning cotton gins and the crops that are gathered, is becoming so fre quent and an evil of such magnitude that tho Legislature should tako the matter in hand and provide exemplary punishment for that class of offenders. The hanging of a fow of these in cendiaries, wo are convinced, would have a most favorable effect upon a very bad portion of so ciety. And then as to tho accidental fires—these arise from friction in tho machinery and tho Careless uso of lucifer matches by the negroes. Have the gin makers become so inexpert in their trade that they cannot construct a machine that will not take fire? It was not so formerly, and should not be so nqjy. Wo command this branch of tho subject to that particular class of mechanics. As regards the use of friction matches by negroes, that will bo a hard thing to prevent. It is an idiosyncracy of the raco to have about them the means of creating fire— perhaps from, their fondness for cooking—and tho practice can only be abated by frequent in junctions, not abolished altogether. A negro will have a rotien stump burning somewhere in the field in the middle of August, and matches being more convenient than livo coals, Le will carry them in spito of you, and just as apt in his cotton bag as anywhere else. An Agricultural or a Polytechnic . School. The Committee of tho State Agricultural So ciety on an Indnstrial School, make a very strong apd sensible report to-day. Georgia wants either a polytechnic school or a school of agriculture. The former would probably be better. It would comprehend the whole field of applied science, and open to onr children and youth splendid opportunities for self-culturo and improvement. We can have snch a school, if toe will! Let the Georgia Agricnltural Soci ety go ahead and bny the Laboratory buildings and make them the headquarters of agricultural and scientific education in Georgia, as well as the practical resnlts of science and art in that direction. Let them make their appeal to Con gress, tho State Legislature and tho people, and the appeal will not bo in vain. Wilkinson County Superior Court. This Court mot for its adjonmed term, on tho 9th instant, and closed this evening. Many cases of grave magnitude have been' litigated. Tho trial of Richard Nelson, tho alleged mur derer of L. A.

We transfer from tho Macon Telegraph and Messenger, of Thursday morning last, into this morning's issue of the Intelligencer, to tho ex- olusion of its usnal variety of reading matter, the admirable address delivered at the State Fair on Wednesday last, by General Wade Hampton, of Sonth Carolina. It is a most elo quent production, breathing “words of truth and soberness,” and evidencing that spirit of lofty patriotism for which tho speaker is so em inently distinguished at home among his own Southern people, and abroad, wherever he is known, and honor, valor, and wisdom apprecia ted. To commend the perusal of this address to oUr readers, would almost be insulting to their intelligence and esteem for him who do- livered it __ Editors Telegraph and Messenger : Irespect- ftilly tender ^ f ow remarks in reference to that portion of General Wade Hampton’s eloquent and admirable oration delivered at tho State Fair, at this city on the 19th instant, wherein the gallant General suggests the establishment of agricultural colleges throughout tho Southern States; or if they cannot bo founded in all, the alternative of engrafting on tho cnrricnlom of existing institutions of knowledge a department on the model of Washington College, Virginia, t&ich contemplates giving instructions in, 1st. Agriculture; 2d. Commerce* 3d. Civil and Me- obanical Engineering; 4th. Mining and Applied Chemistry. It was proposed lately here to obtain the trans fer of Mercer College to Macon. I am not aware of tho probable result. An advertisement of the intended sale at pub- lio auction, early in December next, of tho Laboratory gronnds, has been issued, and it may be worthy of timely consideration whether tho fino bailding thereon is not on a convenient site, at a suitable distance from the distractions of the city and adaptable for such a college hav ing the advantage of adeqnata gronnds for tho practical acquirement of the knowledge of agri culture and other branches proposed to be in cluded in the cnrricnlom of instruction. Might it not be possible for the important object con templated by General Hampton, to obtain the generous aid of the United States Government in respect to the purchase of tho premises in question; or better still, of their gratuitous transfer to the State of Georgia? Yonrs respectfully, G. November 20, I860. General Toombs' Counterpart. General Toombs will be surprised to read the following paragraph from the Constantinople correspondence of tho New York Sun. Abdul Avis is the commander of the Sultan’s troops, reviewed by EugCnie: “Abdul Aziz bears a striking resemblance to Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, of Banker Hill and Confederate fame—the same imperious air and tawny complexion and tinge of aboriginal blood —carrying about him tjiat impregnable and im measurable sense of power, which marks great slave and land owners, as well as absolute sov ereigns. TItex Women Medical Students—Quiet ix the Pennsylvania Hospital. — Philadelphia, November 13.—At a medical lecture in the Pennsylvania Hospital this morning, a class of twenty-nine ladies were present, with one hun dred and forty male students. The first case examined was that of a boy with typhoid fever; and this case was followed by cases of lead- palsy, (male,) hysteric-palsy, (female,) bloody vomiting, (female,) and heart disease, (male.) The lecture was delivered by Dr. Hunt, and inoluded many interesting cases, with the par tial amputation of the foot of a man crushed by a ear. ps the conclusion of the lecture' the class, which had preserved perfect order throughout, left the hall quietly, and without a demonstra tion of any kind. New Paper in Atlanta.— Wo learn, says the Atlanta Constitution, that the Georgia Farm - -Journal will shortly be removed here from Mad ison, and that J. F. Shecut will commence next month the publication hero of a new evening paper, under the name of the Evening Express. Iz is stated that the Postmaster General will aoea issue an order prohiting the carriage through the mails of circulars gotten up by swindling firms for the purpose of defrauding the public. Some twenty of these firms are on the plaoe list of government detectives. Some in terference of this is greatly needed. GEORGIA STATE AGRICULTURAL FAIR. the second DAY dawned upon us unexpectedly, with bright skies and invigorating air. From the heavy rain and gale of the night previous, we were fearful the weather of the next day would be a complete damper upon spirits and locomotion. No truer example of the saying, “always darkest before day,” was ever presented. At an early hour a perfect anaconda of mov ing bodies commenced its inarch to the Fair Grounds, where the. facilities for rapid entrance were repeatedly proved inadequate. The crush of wriggling human beings at the gates, was sure destruction to clothing, temper and dignity; thus affording a fine opportunity for the light- fingered gentry, who were not backward in im proving it. Each arrival of a train was a signal for another jam and a swarming addition to the already vast multitude. THE EFFECTS OF THE GALE AT THE GROUNDS were evinced on all sides, thoso suffering tho most were several side shows whoso razed tents wo mentioned in Thursday morning’s issue. The large canvas used os nn exhibition tent for carriages, etc., was blown flat Tho poles in fall ing, we understand, severely injured the tops of some superb buggies exhibited by W. A. Huff, Esq., and others. The campers being in smaller tents, new as well as more carefully pitched, weathered the gale with a few exceptions; though they defied to the best of their ability the wind, yet to water they were not so impregnable. Taken all in all, we may well thank fortune that the damage snstained was so slight. THE ORDER OF THE DAY. .Space forbids giving our pen full scope, there fore we must omit the usual reportorial desire, to vividly portray the scenes passing and chang ing constantly before onr eyes from the moment of onr arrival up to the second of onr departure from tho gronnds. Suffice to say, beauty and manliness, pleasant anticipation and joyous realization, was to be seen on every hand. Parents and children, young men and maidens, with beaming faces, glowing with that rich color which health alone gives, greeted us on every hand. So many happy, smiling faces met our vision that we, too, caught the con tagion, and like our examples, forgot all troubles and cares, giving ourselves up for the time being to the spirit of tho hour; but, alas, we were too soon called back to stem duty by the fast assembling of a large audience in the amphitheatre. SCENES IN THE AMPHITHEATRE. Here we were much amused, as, indeed, the crowd often evinced by prolonged shouts, with a series of scrub races between mettled steeds under tho saddle and to harness. The audience within the enclosure was so vociferous in their urgings on of their respective favorites, that the cry was started, “The Tournament, the Tourna ment!” which had the effect of chawing nearly all the visitors to this immense arena.- While thus being entertained the order was given for clearing the ring, which was cheerfully, though somewhat reluctantly done. After the nsual amount of queries and spec ulations of “what’s next” had been exhausted, attention was called to a procession of the Ex ecutive Committee, then filing in, escorting the orator of the day, Gen. Wade Hampton, and tho invited guests. The usual buzz of curiosity and comment hav-. ing subsided, tho President of tho society, Hon. Benjamin 0. Yancey, called thoso present to order, stating that the formality of welcoming tho invited guests would now tako place, where upon Mr. A. O. Bacon presented them as fol lows: presentation speech of a. o. bacon. Mr. President: As a member of the Reception Committee, it affords me pleasure Jo present to you, and through you to tho Georgia Agricultural Society, the gentiemen from other States wno have visited ns upon this occasion in response to our invitation. They have come from all the leading States, from Sonth Carolina to Wisconsin; - Some of them occupy high official positions, while most, if not all, tho re mainder are gentlemen prominently identified with important industrial enterprises. They are our guests, and as such I present them to you, that you may express to them, officially, those feelings of cordial welcome entertained for them by tho mem bers of the Society. THE GREETING OF WELCOME BY HON. MB. YANCEY. Mr. Yancoy spoke in substance as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen, Guests of the Agri cultural Fair: I bid you a cordial welcome. Owing to the much regretted lack of a suita ble hall to receive you in, we are compelled to greet you in open air; yet our welcome is none tho less cordial, thongh necessarily more brief. We desire tho word welcome to bo taken in its fullest sense, unqualified, cordial and heartfelt In extending such, I wish to say that as guests of ours, you each and every one are entitled to all the priviioges and courtesies at onr com mand. Forgetting political differences and having an eye to the recuperation of the South and the general welfare of every State of the Union, wo welcome you to this our humble effort to display the energy and resources of our loved State of Georgia. x Trusting we have met with success, we nope to be judged in a spirit of liberality and sym pathy. Wo extend a hearty welcome to every officer present of the Government and Com monwealth, and to the distinguished gentlemen accompanying, from whom we should be highly gratified to hear a word of response. Mr. Yan cey then concluded by calling attention to the rich resources of the State, and bade his au dience look upon its fairest jewels, the beauti ful daughters of Georgia here assembled. Hon. G. W. Woodward, of Pennsylvania, then responded on behalf of the invited guests as follows: Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the Georgia Salet Agrictdtural Society : Several citizens of Middle and Northern States bavo come, upon the invitation of your Society, to witness tho renewed energies of Georgia as man ifested in this very successful Fair, and to inter change friendly salutations with our fellow-citizens of the South. Wo were met by a committee of your body, and to their provident politeness wo are in debted, under tho providence of God, for a safe and most agreeable journey. At Atlanta wo were kindly received by Governor Bullock and entertained at breakfast, and wo came on to this beautiful city with no accident or detention, and hero wo have been entertained with a truly Southern hospitality, tho fame of which is world-wide. For all these at tentions, as well as for your cordial reception on behalf of the Society over which you preside, my fellow-travelers have imposed upon me, since we came upon this platform, the duty of expressing their heartfelt acknowledgements. In their name and for myself I return you our thanks. Wp have met as friends—as friends of agriculture, as citizens of a common country—-who acknowledge a common flag and a common constitution, and who are bound to a common destiny. We have been gratified with tho evidence of prosperity that has met us on every hand. If your prostration by the war was as com plete as I supposed, you must be the most energetic and recuperative people of whom I have ever read. How much better it is that citizens of the differ ent sections should meet on such a peaceful field as this than on tho battle field. War tramples tho green earth and stains it with blood. Agriculture makes it bring forth bread for the eater, and fruits and flowers that delight tho senses. The voice of war is carthago delenda est. The prayer of agricul ture is, “thy kingdom come, give us this day our daily bread.” Sir, I have no sympathy with tho man who would drench our nativo land in blood, in preference to the cnltivationof these peaceful arts and industries. Wo Northern men differ from each other in many sentiments and opinions; in many things we differ from you, and among yourselves are diversities of thought and action. But to-day wo merge all differ ences ; we forget all disagreeable memories; wo leave the dead past to bury tho dead, and wo unite as brethren of a common country to promote tho great interests of agriculture, on which the prosper ity of all StateB and nations are built. Let us love as brethren. Let the sections exchange their pro ductions. Let them marry and give in marriage. Let the South welcome Northom capital and indus try, and the near fnturo shall repair the ravages of war; a new prosperity shall return South, and then, if not before, yon men and women of the Sonth can apply the woros-that burst from the bps of Byron, as from Alpine heights he looked down upon Italian plains— , Oh, it is a goodly sight to see What Heav’n hath done for this delicious land, What fruits of fragrance blnsh on every tree, What goodly prospects o’er her hills expand. Renewing our thanks for your cordial reception, whice wo as cordially reciprocate, I proceed to intro duce to you, individually, the members of our dele gation. bestoxse or HON. borage capson. Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Agricultural Society of Georgia : Not to occupy time to the exclusion of other gen tlemen who may be expected to address you, I have preferred to reduce to writing, in as condensed a form as possible, tbe few practical remarks I pro pose to offer on this occasion, and with your per mission I will proceed tonroad them: It is with pleasure that I have responded to your kind invitation, which I have accepted in the spirit in which it was tendered—a spirit of mutual con cession, sympathy and encouragement. This pleas ure is enhanced by a knowledge of tho great re sources of your Stato—a soil rich in all tho elements of fertility and suited in its variety to tho entire circle of the productions of the farm, orchard and garden; phosphates and marls, in many localities, to repair tho waste or continued cropping, and min erals useful in tho arts; water power enough to manufacture all the cotton grown in tho State, and the implements of agriculture and of other indus tries ; and a climate in which tho cereals and frnits of temperate zones may flourish eido by sido with semitropical forms of vegetation, and in which man may exerdao in highest health and vigor, all his mental and physical powers, in subduing nature, enlarging productions, increasing wealth, and en- having human happiness. With such resources at your command, with act ive invention to plan, and an indomitable will to work, who can set a limit to tho career of activity and enterprise upon which you have entered ? 1 have come among you with some knowledge of theee natural advantages, and with a fall appreciation of the laudable ambition that impels you, to speak a word of encouragement—to presenttho allurements of new hopes and new aims, and ask that, extirpa ting ancient prejudices, forgetting the things winch are behind, you press forward to thoso which are before—aiming to advance the. united interest, and brighten the consolidated glory of a great and grow ing nation. The change in your labor system involves a radi cal change in the manner and appliances of culti- vation; a necessity which many of yon fully realize and thoroughly understand. . Free labor, to"be most efficient, must be educated labor—in a certain de gree, skilled labor; it most be supported and sup plemented by improved machinery, so that every dollar expended in the exercise of'human muscles may become Itco by tho magical augmentation of rural mechanism. It is thus that onr lands must be cultivated, and crops grown, in part by brawn, in part by brains. This change in labor also involves the necessity for smaller farms, better culture, tbe use of ma nures, rotations in crops, and a larger working cap ital in proportion to permanent investment. Broad acres of impoverished soil, without abun. dant means for needed fertilizers and fixtures, ma chinery and farm animals, are not only non-pro ductive, but absolute sources of cost and discour agement—a mill-stone upon the neck of enterprise. Without a working capital, at least equal to that invested in laud, recuperation must bo tedious, and tho profits of farming small: with its aid in utiliz- ingtho labor at command, that which is more effi cient and intelligent will naturally flow in. The result will be a rapid development, a higher condition of fertility, larger crops, valuable and creditable improvements, good neighborhood roads, larger profits, wealth, comfort and contentment. As a natural sequence to this system of industry, variety in production will take the place of an in- ceasing culture of cotton and com. The broad capa bilities of soil and climate will have free scope and exercise, and while the product of cotton will be greater than now, there will bo com enough for man and beast, an abundance of beef, pork and mutton, the finest of vegetables and rarest of fruits, not alone for home consumption, hut for the supply of less favored regions. Sugar, in favoring soils, may take the place of cotton as an export crop ; sorghum may yield its sweets for local use of dwel lers amoDg the hills; a multitude of now and pro fitable crops may swell by millions the grand ag gregate of the cash receipts of agricultural labor. Ramie, introduced in 1855 into the Botanic Garden at Washington, and propagated for years in tho ex perimental garden of the Departm'ent of Agricul ture, promises to vie with cotton in profit and use fulness if the manufacturers succeed in improving and cheapening its fabrication, and thus create a great and permanent market for the new fibre, which can be produced in unlimited quantities at reasonable rates. Yon have also an immeasurable source of wealth in the cultivation of fruits; even that most valuable of all domestic frnits, tho apple, can bo produced here in the highest perfection. It is true that fail ures have resulted from introducing varieties of Northern origin, but your pomologists have collect ed nativo varieties fully equal in flavor and keeping qualities to tho best of thoso from any other sec tion. Merely mentioning the pear and tho peach, tho latter especially reveling in your bright and length ened summers, allow me to direct your attention to the fig and the grape. Tho former of these proba bly requires less skill in propagation and care in cul ture or in drying or other preparation for market than any other fruit of valuo. The grape, more ca pricious as to climaic and locality, can here enjoy its favored region; on your hill sides, the best table and wine grapes of the Northern StatA will attain perfection, and it is prophesied that only on the ele vated lands and mountain slopes of tho Southern States will the region be found that is to yield wines equal to a Joliannisburger, a Tokay, or a Margeaux, while in your lower lands yon havo the famous Scup- E emoug, that even now is highly esteemed, both ere and in foreign countries. Vast developments await you in this direction, and when you reflect that even on your worn-out land—unfit for corn or cotton—fruits and vines may be produced in tho greatest abnndance and perfection, the propriety of giving attention to these crops will become apparent. Nor will this measui e of diversity suffice. Manu factures must occupy the sites of water powers; and tbe surplus forest products be used in propelling machinery by steam, thus beautifying your State and enriching your people not only by theirprodnets and profits of this industry, but by the stimulus it will afford to agriculture in the consumption of its products and the enhancement of their values. I hope to see the day when, with the help of manu facturers in other States of this country, we may bo able to manufacture every pound of cotton that wo can produce. Y’ou may in self defence be compelled to do it. as Great Britain, is already preparing to col onize India with tho skilled laborers of Lancashire, as teachers and directors of the teeming mllions whose services may be had for a remuneration scarcely appreciable. Ship abroad among this nations of the earth, at little cost for freigli tande commissions, all your cotton in yams and fabrics, bearing the added valu8 of much cunning labor, ready for the markets of the world, rather than depend upon tho wants ortho caprice of other nations for the sale of the raw material. The email begin ning of five and a half millions of pounds of cotton manufactured in this country in 1791, increasing to fifty millions in 1821, has augmented to four hun dred and fifty millions in 1868—one million bales of 450 pounds each—a consumption greater than that attained in I860. It will continno to increase, and with its swelling volume change tho whole current of trade, advancing our national wealth and pros perity.. We must not ignore the efforts of the British Cot ton Commission to attain independence of foreign markets through their Indian empire. It is true that the fibre known as “surats" solls.at lower rates than our uplands, bat it shonld be remembered that it is owing more to careless handling than to any defect in tho staple itself, and that strenuous and systematic efforts aro producing a cleaner and bet ter fibre. If the “Dhers,” with their clnmsy ma- chinoiy, have produced from this cotton—with caro- ful manipulation of tho fibre from the beginning— the finest thread known, measuring 150 miles to tho pound, and running to No. 200 in fineness, may not the teaching and practice of skilled English labor ers in India yet incite a sharper competition than wo have heretofore encountered? Poitions of India possess some of the most prodnetive soils of the world, peculiarly adapted to tho growth of cot ton. ‘ Thoir success i3 shown in tho following state ment: The annual consumption for tho wholo of Europo at present is about 3,800,000 bales, (it has been greater.) of which America scuds about. 1,500,000 bales India sends abont 1,400,000 bales Egypt sends abont 250,000 bales Brazil sends about .*.. .. ..500,000 bales Other countries send abont 350,000 bales Approximately. 4,0000,000 bales, births among tho free were 33J per cent. less than among tho slavo; and that the net in crease of slaves was 130.93 per cent, greater than that of tho free blacks. These statistics may be valuable as enabling us to approximate what will be, or what should be, the number of negro laborers in the South during any year np to 1890, and to ascertain what effect freedom has had on the mortality and tho ratio of in crease among tho blacks. Turning, now, from the laborer to bis work, wa have to consider wbat system of culture is tho most productive—and hero I have no hesi tation is saying that the system which calls to its aid all the appliances of skill and science, will always, other things being equal, prove the most successful. I do not propose to enter in to the details of cotton planting, nor to give the beBt plan for its cultivation, because the samo rules will not apply to all localities, and because time will not permit me to do more than touch on the grand fundamental principles which should govern all intelligent planters. The problem for onr solution is how we can obtain the maximum production at the minimum cosh We cheapen labor by increasing its productiveness, for while we may in doing the latter have to pay higher wages, we receive for the work done larger profits. Our object should be not to enlarge the area of cultivation, but to make every acre cultivated yield to its highest capacity. The labor with which we cultivate one acre producing from 600. to 1000 pounds of seed cotton, costs as much as that which would make that same acre bring 3000 pounds. Is it economy to use labor, which is now money, so that it will only make from ten acreB what it can as easily makq from five ? If our laborers cultivate ten acres to the hand, is it not best to plant only half that quantity in cotton, working as reported by tbe Indian Commissioner. Yet I do not believe we aro to lose tbe first rank as a cotton producing nation. Our opportunity lies in a better and more perfect cultivation of the soil, its thor ough aeration, draining in heavy lands and liberal manuring; a more complete adaptation of the im plements of its culture to their peculir work, the in vention of labor-saving expedients and processes, and the reduction to a minimum of the costly use of human muscle; a regular rotation system of cropping,.by which the soil may be constantly im proving rather than continually “wearing out,” and finally a proper manipulation of the fibre for mar ket, by which uniformity of length, freedom from foreign admixture and perfect cleanliness may be secured. These aro the points in which India cot ton is deficient, and in which ours must contiuue to excel. To secure a longer, finer and evener staple is entirely practicable. It, however, can only be ac complished by observing the great laws of repro duction on which all improvement in animal and vegetable species is founded. The key to this pro gress exists in a single word—‘ ‘pedigree.” Select a plant producing abundantly a superior fibro; plant its seed in a genial and well cultivated soil, select again and again from its progeny the finest and the best, discarding all else, and few years will elapse ere marked remits will prove the great utility and exceeding profit of the effort. In this connection I present the suggestion of an experimental farm, established by your State Government, and con ducted by an experienced and intelligent planter, where new varieties of cotton may bo produced and foreign varieties tested. I would also commend to each individtlal planter the necessity of a constant tanco of a evstem of co-operation among planters for tho destruction of tho cotton caterpillar when it first makes its appearance, either as a caterpillar, or in its perfect Btato. While their numbers are few, any expense necessary for tbeir extirpation would be a profitable outlay; when they swarm by millions in every field, their presence is dishearten ing and their destruction impossible. Let these considerations be regarded, with intelligent labor, and a personal supervision by tho observant planter, and you may defy tho competition of tho world, pro duce a fibro unsurpassed., and realize a profit ample for any want, and to satisfy every requirement of luxury. In such views of progress I personally feel a deep and untiring interest. To assist in forwarding them you maycommand my constant endeavors as Com missioner of Agriculture,and co-operation and aid,so far as the _ limited means at command may permit. The magnitude of tho interests involved, and the effective manner in which the Department may ad vance them, lead me to believe that larger appro priations by Congress will hereafter permit wider and deepequsefufiiesa, and that while hundreds of 'millions arS" given to ’railroads, a mere moiety at least, may be accorded to advance tho urogress of agriculture. This Department now consists of di visions of statistics, agricultural chemistry, botany —to which attached is an herlarium—natural history and practical horticulture. The first is tho office of publication, from which aro issued tho annual of nearly a quarter of a million of volumes, and a monthly report of twenty-fivo thousand copies, em bodying official data from thousands of correspon dents and nearly every county in the Union. In connection with a museum of natural history, as allied to agriculture is an economic collection ex hibiting the processes of manufacture of the raw products of agricnltural industry,' in which the tex tile arts, tho making of sugars and dyes, and the utilization and extensic n of the primitive products of the earth are illustrated and described. The experimental garden—to which has lately been added an arboretum—is a theatre of active and intelligent effort, including the test and propagation of exotic frnits for your own favored section, and the introduction of new and promising plants suited to every climate. Tho chemical section of tho Department is occu pied with tho examinations of the natural sourcos of agricultural wealth, in mineral deposits. Tho knowledge of tho composition and food of plants is being increased by scientific investigation. A series of analyses of cereal grains is contemplated for tho purpose of determining tho amount of influence which the latitude, soil and climate of different lo calities exert upon tho growth of our food plants. A collection of specimens representing our agricul tural and economic geology and mineralogy will af ford a valuable display of the rock strata of the whole country, and servo to complete the efficiency of this division. The library of the Department, thongh not ex tensive, is receiving large additions by purchase and exchange with numerous scientific and agricul tural societies in Europe, Asia, Africa, and even the Islands of the Pacific. A system of exchange of seeds and plants is in operation embracing societies, industrial colleges, and botanical gardens, throughout tho world. An extensive correspondence is conducted, embracing tho entire country and tho whole range of practical agriculture. All these parts of our organization are working harmoniously, and I hope in some de gree effectively; and all are laboring for tba ad vancement, by equal steps, of eveiy section and every rural interest in onr broad land. And in tho coming gemeral prosperity and universal progress. I hope and pray yonr favored State may havo its full and generous share. At tho conclusion of the reception addresses, Hon Ben. O. Yancey then introduced Gon. Wade Hamp ton, of Sonth Carolina, orator of the day, whoso re marks are given in full, and which will be read by every one with peculiar interest and pleasure. At its close, a resolution was offered and unani mously carried, requesting of Gen. Hampton a copy of his oration for publication. DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMEN FROM ABROAD PRESENT AT THE "PATTI. Upon the speakesr’ stand and the gronnds, •we noticed the following gentlemen, in addition to those already enumerated: Gen. Lewis, Post master General Zarle, Generals Cameron, Hal- leck, Terry, Commissioner Delano, Dr. Nichols, Washington, D. C.; Dr. Trimball, N. Y. ; So lon Robinson, Esq., Agricultural editor N. Y. Tribune; M. B. Bateman, Esq., Secretary Ohio State Horticultural Soeioty; J. W. Forney, Esq., Prof. Henry, Smithsonian Institute; Judge Capps, President Pennsylvania Agricultural So ciety ; Judge Watts, Pa.; Gen. Krisynowski, Supervisor Internal Revenue; Col. Robb, Col lector Customs, Savannah, Ga. Tho eminent gentleman of our own and sis ter States we saw present were; Judge Schley, ex-Gov. Brown, Gen. Pierce Young, Gov. Bul lock, Judge Cole, Mayor Obear, Gen. Jordan and a host of others equally prominent whose names we failed, for want of time, to obtain. THURSDAY—THIRD DAY. SCENES ON THE BOADS LEADING TO THE FAIR. The day opening with clear skie3 and fine prospects of another beautiful day, at an early hour all the avenues leading to the grounds were thronged with every description of vehicu lar conveyance, from the smallest goat-cart to the ponderous six-mule plantation wagon. The humblest cart was to be seen closely pressing the superb turn-out of the wealthy gentleman. With democratic freedom and persistency, white and black were often to be found occupy ing the same wagon, waiving for the time all social discrepances, as well as difference of race. Strewn upon the road-side were the straggling remains of some unfortunate buggy or other carriage whose trip to tho Fair proved the last straw on the camel’s back. ' SCENES ON THE RAILROAD TRAIN. . At the depot orowds were forcibly left behind for want of sufficient transportation, though our train consisted of nearly thirty or forty plat form, box and passenger cars, drawn by two or more locomotives. The time consumed between the car-shed and the grounds was exactly two hours and twenty-five minutes, showing fully the load we carried, the larger portion of which was compelled £o stand up. RUNNING TO SADDLE. At 4£ p. if,, there was some splendid Georgia stock under saddle. The single dash of one mile, for a purse of $25, was between Mr. Napier’s gray mare and CoL Hamilton’s sorrel mare. Tho horses mak ing it respectively in 2:27 and 1:54—the latter horse winning by 33 seconds. TWO mtt.f. DASH, UNDER SADDLE, FOB $50.

Every man who had funds seemed anxious to win or lose, many going from knob to knob so liciting bets, shaking their stakes defiantly afyft, and daring backers ol other than their favorites to “put np.” .To see the careless handling of ten and twenty dollar notes, one would have thought the article anything but the •legal tender. As on illustration of the complete infatuation for betting on horses, we saw a young lad bf not more than ten or tVrelve years so interested in getting a deoision upon bis bet that the little man called londly for one of the marshals, who, thinking it some one of elder years, hastily rode up, whereupon our juvenile better sings; “Nay, Mr. Marshal, did'that last horse win, for I’ve got forty cents on him, sir ?" The effect upon the orowd was magical'; the laugh was turned mainly npon the obliging marshal,-who, to oover his chagrin, hastilygalloped off. "We are tinder obligations to the courteous Captain Scott and his brother judges of the races for their kindness in affording us facili ties, at some inconvenience, for obtaining the names of the several horses, their owners and the running time. CONCLUDING SCENES AT THE GROUNDS. At the closing of the races, the throng started for th3 cars with a rush to secure seats, looking for all the world like so many black ants, as they swarmed into, over and under the oars. In less than five minutes every seat and foot of standing room was occupied, giving the tardy ones “Hobson’s choice,” to walk or wait, both equally unsatisfactory and entirely devoid of comfort. The train slowly, hauling out, the slow coaches proceeded to wait for tho best train, whiling away the time with songs, jesls and anything but blessings upon this railroad in pnrticnlar, and all railroads in general. Tho many camp-fires upon and around the grounds, with their circles of huddling, shiver ing figures, tho leaping, livid flames, the crack ling of the logs as the forked fire darted up into tho darkness, all combined to bring vividly to otir mind tho many nights we have passed on picket and in camp daring the late war, and gave our mind a retrospective turn from which wo were rudely awaken by tho shrill whistle of tholoDg expected train. A darkey, standing noar by gave vent to our feolings as well as his own, when, with open eyes and extended arms, he viowed the approaching long lino of cars, and exclaimed, “Dar’s de train I It is mighty good to wait on de Lord!" which, in his mind, might bo another version of that comforting maxim, “ Patient waitsng, no loss.” One of tho Fair trains, in returning to the city, collided with a locomotive or train, injur ing tho engine slightly, but doing more dam age to sundry unfortunate excursionists whose fate had forced them to standing on a flat car. Theso unlucky individuals w9te> nncerimonious- ly dumped into tho watery ditch alongside the track, and thus, by a well known principle of philosophy, wore rolled over and over, com pletoly caked in white clay and saturated with dirty water. If allowed to dry they might bo mistaken for whitewashed mummies. Thus ended the day. FRIDAY—EOURTH DAY, Opened with a blustering wind and scudding clouds, indicating an approaching storm. A slight sprinkling only added to tho fears which proved soon to be well founded. THE ORDER OF THE DAY Commenced with an exhibition of horses, both under saddle and to harness, followed by mules in harness. Much time was, thereby, fritted away by this third show of stock, and the knights, some twenty in number, were kept waiting outside till mule after mnle was put through his paces. Becoming first impatient, and then disgusted, one after another of the knights gave up all hopes of the last of tho mules arriving, and, consequently, dropped of till only ten remained chaffing under this uncalled for delay. At last tho welcome order came, “Forward, Knights! when thby filed in just in time to see the threat ening clouds gather for a wetting down. The Knights were commanded by C. H. Cam- field, Esq., of Albany, wbo personated the Highland Chief, “Fergus Mclvor.” The others were as follows: Knight of the “Red Rose”—Mr. Clay, Bibb county. Knight of the “Lost Cause”—Mr. DuBignon, Milledgeville. Knight “Leopold, of Austria”—Mr. McHen- nie, Albany, Ga. Knight “Richard Courde Leon”—P. S. Davis, Albany, Ga. - . Knight “John, Duke of Norfolk”—Ira E. Fort, Albany, Oa. Knight “Black Prince”—Jesse Walters, A1 bany, Ga. . Knight “Kennett, of’Scotland”—G. W. Mayo, Albany, Ga. Knight “General Wheat,” “Herb of the Ti ger Zouaves.” “Knight of Columbus.” The last two gentlemen’s names we were un able to obtain, in the confusion attendant upon settling tho dispnted-point of starting, with the storm fast approaching. We intend giving these Sir Knights a full notice when the riding is completed. After much disputing amongst the judges as to the propriety of going on with the Tourna ment, tho rain then pouring down, the word ; go," was given, whereupon seven Knights out of 'the ten, each in tnm took their tilt in the order of the lots drawn. Of these seven only one secured the entire number bf rings—six. This successful Knight was “Fergus Mclvor,’ whose prowess of horsemanship and expertness with the lance drew shouts from every throat. Wo havo not space nor time at present to par ticularize, but will give details in tho next issue, as w#have before promised. As every knight has three tilts, there yet re mains for (he seven who have ridden, two more tilts each, and for three who have not contested, their full compliment of chances. The conclu sion of tho riding will occur this morning at 11 o'clock, tnules-or no mules, and best of all, no admittance fee will be charged. It might be proper here to call attention to the card else where in this issue, published by the Chief Mar shal of the Tournament and his Aids, relative to- certain aspersions cast upon them. . Notwithstanding the heavy fall of rain, ac companied by a small gale, very few ladies left their seats in the amphitheatre, preferring a complete drenching to the missing of the tilting. When the soventh night had completed his cir cuit of theripg, the heavens broke loose, sending sheets of water instead of drops, to dampen the ardor of thoee present. That ladies dressed in their finery and silks, should exhibit so much fortitude and stand their ground against a de luge, is truly surprising, only equalled by the gallantry of their escorts, who unhesitatingly stripped themselves of over and even under- ooats to protect their fair charges. The spirit shown was only what would be ex pected from such noble women as kept our army in tho field during the late war, by acts of self-sacrifice never before known or called for. God bless them for their presence, for they know that a tournament, without their smiles and encouraging presence, would indeed be a deplorable failure—in fact, no tournament at all In behalf of the knignts assembled, and at the request of their commander, we hereby re turn their heartfelt thanks to those ladies who, braving the heavy rain, loaned the inspiration of their presence to the knights in the arena. The tilting at an end, the thousands present made one grand rush for the nearest tents and Fair building, but were thoroughly drenched before reaching shelter. All the available com mittee and other rooms were soon provided with fires and the process of partial drying slowly ac complished. Everything in shape of a vebiole was now in demand. Shawls, skirts of dresses, coats, and caps were eagerly sought for, to cover those ladies whose escorts were fortunate enough to procure' transportation. Though the rain was heavily aud steadily falling, the march home ward was taken up cheerfully. The scene on the road to the city beggars description; mud, jaded teams, crowded wagons, soaked occupants, tattered carriage covers streaming wildly in, tbe wind, hoarse voices of drivers, bespattered horsemen, and broken down teams" were the scenes that greeted us on every hand, the entire distance from the Fair Grounds to the city. SATURDAY—FIFTH DAY, Opened with a skynltemately bright and cloudy, accompanied with a stiff breeze, which, par tially drying up the oceans of mud, rendered the roads comparatively passable. Thongh the unfavorable weather of the day previous had lessened the attendance materially, yet a large crowd was present during the entire day. THE ORDER OF THE DAT. After a light exhibition of colts in the amphi theatre, followed the tilt for the Tournament prizes. In spite of tho wind, which had now grown colder, a large audience assembled to witness the contest. The judges were : Genoral Wade Hampton, General Bonham, of South Carolina; General Colquitt, of Georgia j General Fierce Young, of Georgia. Colonel B. G. Lockett, of Georgia,after some delay attendant upon deciding whether the sev en knights who had already ridden one tilt should re-ride, it was determined that tho rid ing of the day previous should not count. Previous to the tilt there was a short off-hand but spirited broad-sword exercise between the “Knight of the Lost Cause,” Mr. DuBignon, of Millegeville, this State, and a gentleman in citi zen’s dress, whose name we failed to learn. Some very pretty cut3 and thrusts with fine par ries and counters were given and taken by both. Tho tilt being called, tbe riding commenced with tho knight “Black Prince,” Mr. Jessie Walters, Albany, Ga., who carried off nine rings in his three tilts, winning tho first prize. Next in order came knights of the “Red Rose,” Mr. Clay, Bibb county, “Leopold of Austria,” Mr. McKennio, of Albany, Ga., and “Richard Cour Do Leon,” Mr. P, S. Davis, Albany, Ga., each of whom captured seven rings. This tie was then ridden off, resulting in favor of the knight of the “Red Rose,” who was declared winner of the second prize. A tie subsequently occur ring between the knight of “ Columbus” and “John, Duke of Norfolk,” the judges called for the test tilt, bnt the former knight, in conso- quence of severe injuries sustained by a kick from his horse, failed to appear, having with drawn from tho arena, thereupon the judges declared his opponent the winner. At the conclusion of the tilting, tho “ Knight of Columbus,” though severely injured, entered the arena, reporting himself to the judges, who ordered him to’tho tilt, which he made in full time, and tho judges awarded that he should crown a Maid of Honor. The riding having ceased, the knights were ordered to monnt and to, the front, when the decision of the judges was announced, and in behalf of the officers in charge, Colonel H. D. Capers awarded the prizes to the successful knights as foilows: To the “Black Prince,” tho first prize, con sisting of a fine black Canadian horse, valued at $500. To “Knight of the Red Rose,” the sec ond prize of a gray gedding, saddle, bridle and spurs, valued at $300. To “Leopold of Austria,’ the third prize of a heavily silver-mounted rid ing whip. To “Richard cour de Leon,” the fourth prize of a beautiful pair of spurs. At this stage of the proceedings, Mr. Jones, Chairman of the Tournament Committee, being introduced by Colonel Capers, stated that, as the representative officer of the Agricultural Society, he held in his hand two silver goblets to be presented to the first and second prize ri ders in the Tournament, and he was now ready to confer the same, whereupon Colonel Capers called the knights “Black Prince” and “Red Rose” to the front, when Mr. Jones formally made the presentation. The Tomament Ball will come off at a suita ble hall yet to be selected, on Monday night, where the “ Queen of Love and Beauty,” with her ‘‘Maids of Honor,” will be crowned. This, of course, will interest tbe ladies. In disposing of the Tournament, we would call attention to a card, published elsewhere in this issue, relative to the ruling of the judges and Major Cornfield’s generous waiving of his indisputable right, to count his first tilt, the previous, when he secured every ring — six in number. We havo omitted mentioning the particulars in reference to the exceptions taken by several brother Knights and tho manly conces sion of the Major, because we are not thorough ly conversant with the details of both sides of tho question. We may have occasion to refer to this siibjeot again, when wo will try and lay before our read ers a full as well as impartial statement. RIDING AT THE RINK. Immediately succeeding tbe Tournament, the Rink opened with music from Mr. Huff’s color ed band, which had boen in attendance during the previous days. The exercises commenced with riding by the several experts—Messrs. Grubbs, Isaacs, Dasher, Knight, Smith, Adams, Hall, and others. Miss Lottie Mosely also en tertained the audience with a fine display of plain and fancy riding. When the time for tbe second race between Messrs. Boyle and Grubbs was called, they got away evenly upon the first score, making only two rounds, Mr. Boyle being second, with a se vere rush of blood to the head. In justice to Mr. Boyle we would say, that his sickness was not feigned, as has been asserted, for we have from the most reliable* source, that the night previous ho was so ill as to require hourly at tendance. On reaching the dressing room, he was kindly cared for by friends and sufficiently restored to bo taken home, there receiving the attention of a physician. We learn that he is under good nursing and will soon recover, when it is his intention to publish a card, giving the public light upon certain clouded points. We wish him a speedy convalescence. Next in the programme came a quarter mile dash against time, with the following result: Aaron Isaaes—1st round, 21 seconds; 2d round, 26 seconds—17 seconds. Joseph Dasher, 1st round, 24 seconds; 2d round, 24 seconds— 48. Albert Knight, 1st ronnd, 20 seconds; 2d round, 29 seconds—49. Dick Manund, 1st ronnd, 25 seoonds; 2d round 27 seconds—52. -Hall, 1st roun.d, 29 seconds; 2d round, 27 seoonds—56. These contests were the closing scenes at the Rink and on the gronnds. The riding for the seven ten-dollar prizes, gold or plate, will take place this week at the Rink in this city, of whioh the public will be duly informed. We understand many exhibitors of fancy ar ticles have boxed their goods preparatory to shipping them home early this week, but as there are large quantities yet to arrive we can still continue to keep up the‘stock. The close of the last week has taken from us the majority of our visitors, a portion of whom, we trust, will return to attend the Fair again this week. • A Sad Occurrence in Pulaski.—We are deep ly pained at the calamity which has befallen our fellow-citizen, Major J. H. Pate, and family, which involved the death of his younger son, Lucius, a boy about twelve years old by his brother Mae, about 14. The two boys, it ap pears, together with two sons of Mr. A. Bagby, aud two of E. B. Gilbert, Esq., were out, on the evening of the 15th inst., gunning. Mao Pate, having loaded his gun, was arranging the caps, when, nnexpeetedly, and to the consternation of the crowd, the gun went off, discharging its load into the breast of Lucius Pate, who stood in range. At least three shots entered the heart. He died in a very few minutes. We tender to the distressed family our deep est sympathy, and especially to Mao who .is the greatest sufferer. The burial took plaoe Tuesday evening, in the cemetery.—Hawktitsville Dispatch. A census of South Carolina has just been made. Official returns from nine counties show an increase of twenty-two whites and a decrease of 1,941 blacks since 1860.
