Xiie Greoi-g-ia "Weekly Telegraplri and Journal &c Telegraph and Messenger. MACON, OOTOBEB 11, 1870. Itraceonlng the States* Grant's administration is the first one which has ever openly attempted to dragoon the States Into its own support. It commenced with the things they call “reconstructed States.” It dragooned Virginia, and made a botch of its handiwork there. It tried its hand on Tennes see, and upset the kettle there. It did its best in North Carolina with Bolden and Kirk, and their ragamuffin troops, with no better success, and now threatens,to set that election aside. It is backing Scott an$ h|s African Zouave row. flection in Soqth Carolina, The best success it has met with is in Missis sippi, where it was able, bj hook and by crook, to cany the day. In Georgia it took the most effectual plan by seating its own agents in the so-called Legislature—men who were never elected to the position by the people, but, in fact, were defeated. But not satisfied with its operations so far, it is now mixed up in all man ner of intrigues in all the States where elections ere pending, to corrupt the elective franchise. It sends out a Cabinet officer to Georgia to p^aa an election bill so plainly in the interests fraud, that the purpose is transparent on its faoe. The Tennessee papers say it is flooding that State with circulars urging its partizana into diligent inquisition into the conduct of all officials there, with a view of spurring them up to greater activity in the election. It has Staked its last dollar of patronage to secure the election of McClnrg in Missouri, who carries Grant’s letter of endorsement in his pocket, while every office-holder who sympathizes with Carl Boharz is turned out It has fussed and fumed with its patronage in New York politics till every radical paper ad mits that Grant has got them in such a muddle that they will never catch a glimpse of day light. There never was such open and dis graceful efforts to dragoon the States, and this is bnt the beginning of trouble. Foolish Reckonings* It Bullock & Co., imagine the Democrats of Georgia are not going to make a powerful and successful effort this fall to drive him and his from power, they are greatly mistaken. The talk among them was that thepassageof the in famous Akorman bill would so enrage somo, and disconrage others of the Democrats that the first would resort to violence and the latter be come so despondent that the conspirators wonld walk over the coarse. They counted, and still count heavily on these results. But they reckon without their host. The Democrats will stand by the laws as they appear on the record, and allow no violence. They know they have twenty thousand majority at the lowest fignre in tha State, and that ten days voting with only a half fair count will still show them victors. They are going to see that all is peace and order at the polls, and that even Rad ical mendacity shall find no cause to wag its vile tongue in condemnation of “Rebel out rages." Neither will they allow themselves to become apathetic or despondent. This out rage has given them new nerve and fresh cour age. They rise like Anteus from his fall with new life. We promise Grant’s minion and his hench men about Atlanta that the whole State shall blaze with the glowing fires of Democratic en thusiasm, unity and resistless energy, and that wherever there is one voter, white or black, who hates the corrupt rule and monstrous profligacy of Radicalism, he shall be brought to the polls. Let them rest on that assurance. The Demo crats of Georgia already hold this, their fair heritage, firmly in hand, and their majority in December will be so tremendous that even the most brazen villainy will shrink from declaring that they have not confirmed their title to it. Let these conspirators—foiled in advance as sure as grass grows and water runs—put these assurances in their pipes for a qniet smoke. Down With Them. We hope our friends everywhere will get themselves ready to put the mark on all those candidates for office who go into nominating conventions and failing to get the requisite number of votes rush out and repudiate its action by setting up as independent candidates. These men by their action show that the office with its spoil is all they are after, and that that refused, they are willing to see the party and its leaders and principles sacrified. They may be the unconscious but certainly are the most useful instruments the Radicals can have to work out their development. We hear of more of this sort of thing than is good for anybody concerned, and it is time these bolters were warned. They may succeed in defeating their successful competitors, and handing over the stakes to the Radicals, bnt there their triumph will surely end. Their con duct will never be forgotten or forgiven by the people. Wo denounce this practice of bolting on account of personal disappointment as wrong, unwise, unpatriotic and entirely repre hensible, and we call on the people everywhere to stamp out all who, for the reason named, are guilty of it. Tine Virginia Floods.—The Richmond pa pers are full of the disastrous details of the great freshet. All that portion of Richmond lying between the James river, Shockoe Creek and Churchill was inundated. The water was up to the tops of the counters in the stores. At night the gas works were submerged and the city left to darkness, relieved only by an occa sional candle. Few people were on the streets and hundreds were water-bonnd in their houses. In this depressing situation the people listened all night to the roar of the raging torrents and the crash of ruined buildings aud other el rue tares swept away by the flood. M-.nche.Hter bridge—a mile loDg—was swept down the river in two great sections. The Danville R tilroad bridge was saved by bal lasting it heavily with pig iron. Over two hnndred houseless families were camped on the heights of Chimborazo in a state of entire destitution. The town of Co lumbia, in Fluvanna county, was struck by the flood at night when the people were abed, and •very house was submerged. Several were ■wept away aud their inmates drowned. THE GEORGIA PHEM. General 8. B. Buckner was in Augusta, Tues day. The monthly court house sales in Augusta, Tuesday, were dull—littlo proporty offered, and a very small attendance. Fourteen hundred acres of land in Richmond county brought only $2.50 an acre, and a ICO aero lot in Cherokee county only $12.50. Jerry O’Hara wa3 severely slabbed in Augus ta, Tuesday, by a negro hotel drummer. > Of the Radical split in Richmond county, Iho Chronicle says: The Radical Spur.—It appears that the Radical meeting(inentioned in the Chronicle and Sentinel, of yesterday) which was held at the City HaU, Monday evening, ended in a regular row. The difficulty arose over the majority and minoriy reports of the committee appoint ed to select delegates t? *be Congression al Convention which meets this niorniog. Bryant, Belcher & Co. were in favor of tho majority report, and the Little Perjurer’s clique, Stallings, Cory & Co. favored the report of the minority. After a long and exceedingly strong debate, if such a word may bo used in this connection, and after several attempts to take a vote on the motion made by Stallrags, that the minority report bo adopted ns a substi tute for the other, it was finally decided that all who voted in the affirmative should go to one part of tho hall aud all voting in the negative should go to another. When tho vote was taken the nays were in a majority, and the Blodgett gang were defeated. The majority report was then put and adopted. About this time the supporters of tho Little Perjurer grew disgusted and left the meeting. It said that the Little Perjurer was sent for to set matters straight. On yesterday morning that notorious individual arrived, and it was announced that another meeting would be he'd in the evening at which the L, P. was expected to deliver an address. At half-past seven o’clock, however, the City Hall was still in datk- ness, while bnt a few negroes were gathered on- the outside. At the present writing wa an tut- able to state whether or not the meeting was held. The Democrats and Conservatives of Savan nah have nominated tli» following municipal ticket: For Mayor—Hon. John Screven. For Aldermen—John O. Ferrill, John T. Ro- nan, M. H. Meyer, M. J. Solomans, George N. Nichols, J. R. Hamlet, Alfred Haywood, E. 0. Anderson, Jr., C. C. Casey, R. H. Footman, M. Lavin, John Schwartz. CoL A. T. McIntyre hag accepted the Demo cratic nomination for Congress in the 1st Dis trict Tho Savannah Nows says his acceptance assures tho success of the party at the comiDg election. Of tho monthly sales, Tuesday, for Chatham county, tho Advertiser says: Court House Sales.—There was a very small attendance upon tho regular monthly sales at the Court House yesterday, and with the excep tion of a few sales of personal effects by the County and City Sheriffs, no transactions of any importance were effected by the auctioneers, if we may except a sew fhares of Central Rail road stock, disposed of by Messrs. Bell & Hull at S11C, several shares of Southwestern Rail road stock at $92 50, and ten shares of the At lantic and Gulf seven per cent, scrip at $53. Many flue pieces of real estate were offered, but owing to the continued depressed condition of the money market, they were obliged to be withdrawn, bidders not even offering what wonld at other times have been considered nominally low figures. The only piece of prop erty disposed of in the real estate line was im provement on lot No. 4, Franklin Ward, whioh was sold by City Sheriff, Charles J. White, for $50. Central Georgia Fair. FOURTH DAT. Yesterday was another beautiful day, and the largest throng of visitors attended the Fair that we hive seen on the Grounds during the week. The interest in tho Fair is evidently growing, and wo assure tho management and officers that they are giving the utmost satisfaction to both exhibitors and visitors. We hear no complaints, no grumbling or repining, and the reason for it is, the officers have given no just cause for it. They are polite, attentive, just and impartial with exhibitors, and. no visitor can say that the preparations for his reception aDd comfort while on the grounds are not all that could be reason ably expected. It gives ns pleasure to reoord these facts and still more to know that they are appreciated and acknowledged by a discriminat ing public. Ease ball. Tho programme of the day opened with match game of base ball between the “Olym pics,” of Macon, and the “Savannahs," of Sa vannah, Ga. It will be seen from the following score, that the “Savannahs” utterly extern! nated the Olympics. Wo ought to say, however, that “oar boys” wentTnto the contest without preparation and with little or no practice daring tho last two years; but we do not put this for ward as any excuse for them. The Savannahs played beautifully throughout the game, making many brilliant plays both at the bat and in the field. They took with apparent ease almost every ball on the'fly. Indeed, they played wolf and that’s what ailed Savannah. SCORE OF OLYMPICS, OF MACON. Oats. Runs.

Plan of Proceedings under tlic Akerman BUI. Radical Nominations in the First District. We bear from the First District that Aaron At* peoria Bradly is an independent Radical candi date for Congress. The regular nominees were Richard W. White, mulatto, for the remainder Of the 41st Congress and Virgil Hillyer, of O-uden, white man, for the 42d Congress. Thus it will be seen that the nominations in the First District took precisely the same shape as they did in Macon; proving the existence of some secret understanding among the white fnglemen of the piebald ooncern, whereby the negroes were to l>e cajoled with a husk while the oorporal's guard of white leaders swallowed the kernel. They nominate tho lightest mulat to they ean find for the fag end of a Congres sional term and buy op negro support at that rate remarkably cheap.

Mas. Manx E. Kinosbvbt. Greene /stand; AUxiny Oo., Jf. T. We clip the subjoined from the Milledgeville Federal Union of the 4th, and recommend its suggestions to the consideration of the people and the Democratic Executive Committee: The Akerman Election Law has been forced through the Legislature by hook and by crook, by fraud aud by force. The plain object of tho law is to deprive the tax-payers of Georgia of a fair election, and to retain the carpet-baggers and scalawags in power. It will do ns no good to rail at the law or curse its makers and abet tors from now nntil Christmas. Let ns rather see if there is no way in whtch we can defeat the plans of these infamous Radicals to rob honest men of their political rights. We will suggest a plan by which at least a check may be put upon their rascality. At every place of voting let the citizens have a box at a legal distance from the Bollock pen, and let honest men be appointed to gnard it. Let every Democrat be requested, after he has marched up to the Bullock pen and voted, to deposit a duplicate of his vote in the citizens’ box. By this means it can be known exactly how many Democratic votes are polled. Again, let the cit- zens appoint a committee of four or more, who shall stand at a lawful distance from the Bol lock pen, and count, and keep a tally, of every man who votes. Two at a time will be sufficient to watch the Bullock pen, so that they can, from time to time, relievo each other. Let these men not only count all who vote bnt also watch all who vote, and without saying a word mark those who vote illegally and report them for prosecution. By these means we can know how many votes are taken at each place of voting; how many, and who vote the Democratic ticket, and in most cases detect fraudulent voting. If this plan is followed, the managers cannot take out Democratic votes and put in Radical, or rob or stuff the boxes without its being known to the whole community. This plan will also be a great check to repeated and fraudulent voting. This plan does not in the least conflict with the law—will not deprive any man from voting who chooses to risk prosecution, and will not lead to any dispute or controversy with man agers, so as to give them any excuse for using their arbitrary power. We think this plan, if carried out, would, in a great measure, check mate the evil effects of Akennan’s bill. If any one has a better plan, let him bring it forward. lion. Win. M. Reese. The Athens Watchman pays tins gentleman, recently nominated as the Democratio candi date for Congress in the 5th Congressional Dis trict, the following compliment: Judge Wm. M. Reese, the nominee of the Democratio Convention of the 5th District, as a candidate for Congress, for the long term, is, we believe, a native of this place. At all events, be was “raised” here, and well may Athens feel prond of him. Twice has office sought him, and he has never songht it. In 1860, he was elected Jndge of the Northern- Circuit, and most ably and faithfully did he perform the duties of his of fice nntil superseded by Bullock’s appointee— since which be ba-> been quietly puisuing his vocation—little dreaming of going to OoDgress. Our friends in the 5th have selected a good man. Solid, rather than brilliant—modest, in dustrious, hard-working, and above all, of spotless integrity and remarkable purity of character, Judge Reese is a man of whom any constitnenoy may feel jastly proud, and we trust he may not only be elected, but be per mitted to take his seat. New Map or Georgia* Capt. A. R. Butts, of this plaoe, has just pub liahed, in beautiful style, a new edition of Butt’s Map of Georgia, whioh is a timely contribution to the publio convenience. It has all the new counties up to date, and all the new railroads with their stations. Besides this, it is a com plete land map of Georgia—showing the num ber and location of all tha 200 acre lots in Northeastern and Southwestern Georgia. The lines on the map are all bold and easily distin guished, and it is very handsomely printed and colored. It is priced at ten dollars, and, we presume, can be had of all the stationers in the State, or upon application to Mr. Butts, at M*. oon. “The Universal Aver.”—In my journeys over the continent—through Turkey, India, China, Japan, Peru, Chili, Paraguay, Brazil, Mexioo and the United States—in them all to some extent and in some to a great extent, I have found the universal Ayer represented by his family medieines, which are often held in fabulous esteem. Whether they win their mar velous reputation by their cores, I know not, but I know they have it to suoh a degree that it gave me a distinguished importance to have come from the same country.—Field’s letters from abroad. Umpire, S. H. Cohen. Time of game, 4 hours. Scorer for Olympics, J. F. Dasher. Scorer for Savannah, W. H. Turner. While tins match was being played, the ex hibition of horses and stock was going on in the hippodrome, and it was of a highly inter esting character—many fine horses being en tered in the different classes. The exhibition of agricultural implements and the award of premiums was made, as also that of cotton presses, horse-powers, wagons, etc.; but the awards of the judges were handed to tho Secre tary too late to copy off for this issne of our paper. They will appear in full aud correct form to-morrow, together with such comment as we feel that many articles on exhibition jast ly deserve. RACING. In the afternoon the following races took place, and each afforded the immense crowd capital sport, while a few of the winning nags were greeted with load and prolonged cheers. It was all the fairest and sqnarest racing we ever saw. A better selection of judges could not have been made in the State. The first race was for running horses, mile dash, for a purse of $150; 2d purse $50. The following were the entries: John Doyle named sorrel mare, Mollie Doyle. Gapt. G. A. Hamiltonnamedblackmare Shawnee, GoL A. S. Hamilton named sorrel horse, Scratch. S. A. Porter named yellow mare, Leather Britobes. The race was won by several lengths in 1:51}, by “Scratch” of Jones connty. Shawnee com ing in 2d, Mollie Doyle 3d and Leather Britches 4th. TROTTING matches. The next was a lively and spirited trotting match for horses that had never beat 3 minutes, mile heats, best 2 in 3 for a purse of $150, '2d horse $50. The following were the entries: W. F. Anderson, of Bibb, named roane horse, “Basil Duke.” Glint Taylor, of Indiana, named sorrel horse “Diok Taylor.” R. Scott, named “Basil Dnke,” of Kentucky. J. Thorn ton named Pattie Barton. Won in two straight heats by Dick Taylor. Time: 2:52}; 2:50. Basil Duke, of Kentucky, id; Basil Duke, of Bibb connty, 3d; Pattie Burton distanced on first heat. match fob double teams. The next and most exciting race of the even ing, and one whioh greatly elated Georgians, was for doable teams that had never beat 3 min utes, mile heats, best 2 in 3, for a purse of $150 -second team $50 There were two entries. 8. P. Salter, of Houston, entered a black team of horses, and R. Scott, of Kentucky, a pair of bays. The bays won the first heat in 3:10}; bnt in the 2d and 3d heats they broke body, and the blacks won both heats in 3:18}, for the 2d, and in 3:23} for the 3d, distancing Scott on the last heat, and winning the 1st and 2nd premiums. The result was hailed with the wildest demostration of delight by many of the spectators. TWO MILE DASH. The next was a trotting match, two mile dash in harnes8,for a purse of $150—second horse $50— open to the world. There were but two entries. J. Marr, of Houston connty, entered his brown horse, “Bismarck,” and W. J. Wooten, of Atlan ta, entered his bay horse, “ Dan.” It was agreed that it should be a oatch weight race, and the horses to go as they liked. After several fail ures to get off,"they finally started well together, and again tho splendid qualities of Bismarck were brought out, proving that he has both speed and bottom to an extraordinary degree; for he easily run the race in 5:374, and distanc ed his oompeltitor. This last race closed about Sunset, and the crowd dispersed in high glee, and well pleased with what they had witnessed. The following are only a few of the premiums and diplomas awarded yesterday: Todd A Thornton, Ky., combined saddle and harness horse, 1st premium, $50. W. F.

The weather yesterday forenoon was a little unpleasant, being cloudy and a rather high, bleak wind blowing, and many who arose in the morning with the intention of attending the Fair, changed their minds after leaving their own doors, and instead of going to the Fair went to their business. Therefore the orowd was not so large on the Grounds yesterday as on the day before, but still it was very good Those who staid away missed one of the beet and most interesting days of the Fair. All the forenoon was consumed in the exhibition of stylish horses, under the saddle and in har ness, singly and in pairs, and the exhibition was exceedingly fine; and also in the testing of machinery, horse-powers, cotton presses, eto all of which was highly interesting, and claimed muoh attention. The award of premiums be low will give the reader information as to who were the lucky exhibitors. At 12 o’clook noon, the bell in the judges’ stand on the race traok; summoned from their stalls the horses entered for the running race, 2 mile heats, best 2 in 3, for a purse of $500; second purse $100. The following are the entries: M. H. Phillips, of Montgomery, Alabama, bay horse, “Charlie Walker, 5 years old. A. S. Hamilton, of Jones county, Ga., sorrel mare, “Scratch,” 5 years old. John Doyle, of Bibb county, Ga., sorrel mare, “Mollie Doyle,” 7 years old. O. A. Hamilton, of La., black mare, “Shawnee,” 3 years old. , , The nags were brought out, and all appeared to be m line condition, and anxious for a send off. After some moments were consumed in putting things in readiness, the judges called for a start, and the nags enme np well together under the string, “Mollie Doyle” having the pole, and the tap of the dram sent them off. In an instant, the fleet little sorrel from Jones took the lead, and on the first quarter letf her contestants fully five lengths in the rear, and all close together. In this position the horses remained nntil the home stretch on the first mile was reached, when the bay horse left his company, and sought that of his pretty com petitor in the lead, but he failed to reach her, and “Scratch” passed under the string in 1:49 on the first mile, the bay horse next, and within five leDglhsof her; the black mare third, and Mollie Doyle fourth. On the first quarter of the second mile, the bay horse overtook and passed Scratch by fall three lengths, the black mare still in the rear, and Mollie Doyle rider less, as she had passed under the string with a turned saddle, aud her rider was thrown vio lently to the grouod. The bay borse continued to gain every leap on his pursuers, as it was evident that both “Scratch” and “Shawnee” were failing in bottom, aud the bay came home in his own way—distancing the field, and win ning the heat and first and second premiums in 2:53}. Tne betting on this race was lively, as all the nags h&d confident backers, but the horse was the favorite from the start, and he gallantly sustained the judgment of those who bet on him. He showed good speed and bottom, bnt it took both combined to win the race. TROTTING MATCH. At half-past two o’clock, P. M., the bell rang out the nags for the great trotting match of the Fair, between the celebrated brown mare, “Belle of Baltimore,” owned by a gentleman of Atlanta, and. entered for this race by Mr. Clint. Taylor; and the wonderful brown horse, Bismarck, owned and entered by John Marr, of Houston connty. The mare had made her mile in 2:29}, and before the nags were called up for a starr, she gave the crowd a few samples of her speed, merely to warm up for the match, and in doing so she won many friends and backers, and it was clear that Bismarck wonld have to travel to beat her. Of Bismarck, we might repeat what we said of him last week, that two mouths ago he was a common farm horse in Houston county that anybody could have bought for $500; and not nntil the break ing ontof the present Franco-Prussian war was however honored vjtb even so much as a name. His owner, however, know that ho came of good stock, and was a pretty fair trotter, and he determined to faring him to Macon and train him awhile for the Fair, in the hope that he might pick up enoagh premiums to pay the ex pense of so doing. After a few day’s training he improved in speed and action most rapidly, and in three weeks was able to distance all the 2:50 and 3 minnte stock pitted against him, and on Thursday distanced the celebrated trot ter, “Dan,” of Atlanta, in a two mile dash in 5:39}, and at an easy gait. Bismarck was sired in Kentucky by Davy Crockett, and he by Pilot out of a Messenoes mare, (without tho prefix of the Telegraph). He will be five years old next spring, and for his age and the little train ing he has received, is the best horse, in onr opinion, for speed aad bottom, on the American continent. Bat to the race: KB8T HEAT. The first and seccnd efforts for a start failed, but on the third, the nags passed under the string side by side, and the tap of the dram sent them off on the first heat. Bismarck im mediately broke—erased, we think, by the fright he took from the noise of the drain over his head, and before he could be brought down to his work, the mare got full eight lengths ahead of him, and it was generally conceded that the first heat was hers; bnt before the nags entered the home-stretch, Bismarck had taken the lead, and came home at a slashing gait in 2:42, and full five lengths ahead. SECOND HEAT. The horses having taken the usual rest, were again brought up for a start on the seoond heat, Bismarck being the favorite by two to one, as he had won the first heat at the disadvantage of a bad break at the start. On the second heat the nags again got a good send-off, but the mare broke this time, and before she could be brought to steady work, the horse led her about fifty yards on the first quarter, and feeling that he had the heat dead, he only bounded along at a- lively gait to maintain the lead, while the mare was being taxed to her utmost speed, and she slowly closed the gap until the home stretch was reached, when the horse again began to leave her, and he came home winner of the heat by fifty yards. Time, 2:39}. THIBD HEAT. It was now given np on all sides that the horse would win the race, and those who had bet against him tried to “hedge off” on any terms, bnt it was no go. The mare had no backers at ten to one. At the start the nags were as precissy together, as if they were hitched to the same sulky, bnt in an instant the invincible Bismarck took tho lead by about two lengths, and in this position they passed the half mile post, when the horse lot himself out, and every jump widened tho gap nntil he pass ed under the siring, winning the third heat and the match—the mare barely saving her dis tance and the second premium by about six feet.

Will again be interesting and attractive^ and as it is Saturday and the last day of the Fair we may reasonably anticipate a good at tendance. If the gentlemen who have entered for the shooting match will attend, that will come off this morning. Then we shall see the fancy riding ring, and it will be the best thing of the season; premiums for paintings and photography, and many other things are to be awarded, and in the afternoon a great pacing race is to come off between several fast horses already entered. Let’s all go out. SIXTH AND LAST DAT. As is usually the case with all Fairs on the last day there, was but a slim attendance yester day. The weather, as on .the proceeding day, was quite cool in the forenoon and a high bleak wind prevailed. However, there were present quite enough ladies and gentlemen to make it interesting to visitors and exhibitors. The pro gramme opened with the fancy riding ring in which there were three entries, and in a mo ment after Mr. Henry W. Marr, of Houston, entered the ring, in his black velvet suit, white sash and plume, and on a beautiful hoiso, the spectators pronounced him the “emoing man” for the premium, and the dicision of the judges confirmed the opinion, as he carried off the 1st premium, while Mr. Farris, of Kentucky, oa the finest saddle nag exhibited during the Fair, took the second. We did not learn the name of the third entree, but will do him the justice to say that he rode well and had a beautiful horse under him. He retired without unmask ing. The next feature of the programme was the pacing, mile dash, for a premium of $125. There were three entries—Bebee, of Montgom ery, Ala., entered a roane horse; Montgomery, entered a bay horse, and J..K. Goolsby, of Jas per connty, Ga., his sorrel mare Kite. The roane was the favorite at the start, by long odds—as much as 6 to 1 having been staked on him, by those who attended the Fair for bet ting purposes. On such odds the betting was lively and qnite a large amount of money was in the hands of stakeholders at the start. But to make a long story short, we simply state that the nags haviDg a good send off. the sorrel mare took the lead and kept it until she passed under the string about two lengths ahead of the roane, and fifty yards ahead of the bay. The resalt almost knocked the breath out of the Al abama men, for they had staked bottom dollar on the roane. Time 2:40}. The double team race was withdrawn, as one or two parties who had entered backed square down. After it was announced tha; this race would not come off, the orowd, by general con sent, agreed to take the 3 p. m. train to town, and with its departure closed the first Annua l Fair of the Central Georgia Agricultural and Manufacturing Company, and the rest of the afternoon was occupied by exhibitors in paeking np, and the officers of the Fair in settling np. And just here wo desire to testify to the admi rable manner in which the officers on the grounds discharged their respective duties. Of the Geoeral Superintendent, Mr. Samuel P. Salter, and the Secretary, Mr. T. L. Massen- burg, we have only to say that they were the best selections the Company could have made for the positions they occupied. Neither, da ring the Fair, was ever so busy that he could not find time to give a visitor or exhibitor a civil answer to any question, or any information desired. Mr. Massenburg was particularly pop ular with everybody, being always at his post, prompt, polite and attentive. And it gives us pleasure to state also that the Fair was more successful than its friends anticipated, and con sequently all are pleased, In anotherissue we shall notice several articles on exhibition which we have had neither the time or space to nolioe during the week, and we olose this hastily written article almost com pletely exhausted under the hurry, hubbub and bustle of the week.

Never since" the victorious arm of the strong est coalition that Europe ever beheld, in 1814, penetrated through the Frenoh lines and were massed upon Paris, was there such disaster of war as at the present honr reigns significant in France. The French have been humiliated by defeats that never were caused by their want of valor or of desperate and daring charges. But they have been exasperated as well; and the ex asperation will only be cooled in future victory. The most trained of their generals and the most tried of their troops, the greatest strategists of their army, and bravest men of their line, vete rans of African aud Asia and Europe: the heroes of Constantin^ and Sebastopol, and Magenta were pitted with the people that victories of their fathers beggared, and they went forth from their homes with the assurance of triumph written upon their helmets by the hand of hope. They conld see no failure in the distance. The aureole of a golden glory alone beamed in its moat dazzling brightness before them. Not a cloud seemed togather over the path to triumph, and it was only when, the thunders of battle burst upon them, resistless, remorseless and bloody, that the Firench people awoke to learn that they were conquered by a foe they most hated, and the most daring soldiers of their most daring wars fugitive and fearful. The Frenoh armies upon the Rhine are beaten by Prussia ! The dream of the first Frederick is realized for the moment, and Germany un der a Prussian King stands with crimsoned sword to proclaim the superiority of the Teuton over the races of the Continent of Europe. This is the state of the case, and it is well to meas ure and not to disguise it. Franoe is beaten in the eampaign, and beaten with a vengeance. But France will yet be triumphant History is a greater witness than fortune. The reign of a great race is more potent than the disas ters of a day; and it took Cte3ar, greatest of the Romans, to over-run Gaul, and what he won was eventually lost again, and a foreign footstep or the heel of an armed' enemy could not be traced npon French soil. History re peats itself forever, whilst the generations of men tread the earth, and here, as God liveth, history will be repeated in Frenoh victory. It is a certain rule of events that races, with the superiority of a noble manhood in them, never die ont; and the Frenoh people, our brothers in blood and our brothers in heroism, should be ngnished before the bloodiest victory turned them down to the dimensions of a broken peo- people. Behind them there rings the voioes of the majesty of glory to bid them conquer. The same tones that thundered defeat to Roman ean and English arms are resonant to-day in France. There is, there can be, no failure; no conqueror for a people with a memory. France has a long one—long and brilliant; and the dis asters of Weiasenburg and its sequenoe are, and will be, upon the pages of her history only as the reverse of an honr before the magnifi- oenoe of years and ages of triumph and hero ism. Were all France prisoner—which she is not—the captive of to-day may be the oonquer- or of to-morrow, and if there is a trust to be had and held, In all the thought of all the world it is this, that she was able to break the foroes of the Romans, and snatch their eagles, even as her own are torn from her in the hours that pass us now. But many a triumphant banner, won from the hands of her foes, dust-covered with the gathering of years, waves in the sum mer airs that sweep through her Cathedrals to day, and there are others whioh ere to bear *h«m glorious companionship. There can be no doubt of it at all, for it is the greatest certainty writ ten by time, and here, if we want to east onr conjectures forward, we must send our memo ries back, and what will they tell us through centuries of civilization? In what note vnll their clarion proclaim rise loudest ? Franoe was never conquered yeti ViM La France l Danmaoox. Imgertaat V^ry Claimed by tli„ French —Farts Peaceful and Orderly - Large Aimlesat Lyons and on the Loire-Prcna- rollons to Bombard Pori*. *’ Touas, October 6.—The battle of the 4th, near Chateau, Gailliard, was productive of im'- portant results.

It is also stated that ten addi tional companies will be sent there. New York, October G.—The Telegram’s spe- oial from Berlin, says: King William sanctions the demand of Germans expelled from France, for indemnity. German maritime towns ■ also demand indemnity for sojourn of ships at home and abroad by blockade. Indemnity is also asked for opposition on the part of France to the progress of civilization in seizing private property on the highways. This indemnity is asked to prepare a way, for the universal re cognition and sanctity of private property du ring the war. The World's special from London, of the 5tb, says: The Standard, of to-morrow, will con tain an artiole, written in anticipation of the death of General Lee, reported by telegraph to lying at the point of death in Virginia. The article says “A country whioh has given birth suoh a man as Robert Lee may look the proudest nation in the moat ohivalrio period of the history of Europe, fearlessly in the faoe, for no raoe has, in any age, produced a nobler soldier, Christian gentleman, and man than the heroic Virginia Captain.” Arrived, Caspian; arrived out, Glasgow. New York, October 7.—The Times’ special, from Brussels Sih, says : I have had accounts the doings of the nest of Imperialists at Jersey. They are spending money profusely and boasting what they can do through certain political connection in England. Bouher and Drayn do l’Huya and a host of other notables visited the island at night in a small boat. This makes quite an excitement here. Mrs. Wash- borne, in Brussels, receives a letter frequently from her husband by balloon express. It is stated at Berlin that the sold language the German prees regarding the annexation of Alsace and Lorraine exoites Bismarck’s dis pleasure. If this is correct we may hope for peace. The following was received by balloon from Paris dated September 29, addressed on an open card J. H. Kidder, Maiden Lane, New York, by son George, Tell my family I am in no danger. There are plenty of pitmons here. The terrible stories manufactured by Bismarck regarding internal dissentions here are utterly false. The troops are in excellent condition. By same balloon of tha same date, an open letter from Wm. Dreyer to E. Dreyer, Fayette street, Baltimore, was received, which has the following: Our days are occupied with perfect ing our ambulances, of whioh we Americans arc justly proud.
