Tbe Enrojteao Drift.
Such portion of the American world fii has
preserved anything like an impartial attitude
upon the Prusso-French war, Las been htun-
ishedattbe manifestly one-sided character of
all the London dispatches to the press. !i hoso
dispatches, however, are English and not
AmoricaD. They are the result of a system of
exchange established by the American Associa
ted Press, and reflect pnrely English conserva
tive views and feelings which are particularly
hostile to liepnblicanism in France.
But at last, os we loam from London specials
to the New York papers, the drift of English
opinion and feeling is decidedly changing. The
clamor of the people on the one side, and the
tory opposition on tbe other, has driven the
British administration into an anxious discus
sion of the policy of active mediation to bring
the war to a close. The people sympathize with
thoFrenoh in their efforts to Bave themselves
from national disgrace—to maintain the integ
rity of their soil and avoid the transfer of their
fellow-citizens to the domination of aliens—and,
on the other hand, the Eng.ish tories and reac
tionists are alarmed at tho rapidly developing
passion for popular government which is spring,
ing up in Europe, and the general unsettlement
of all those political checks and balances which
have heretofore been considered indispensable
safe-guards of peace. The press telegrams
have reported upon two recent meetings of the
British Cabinet which have so far disclosed
only a ludicrous solicitude to avoid committals
and complications. Meanwhile, public impa
tience of tho war is fast spreading over Europe
Sad is strong even in Germany. The people
say it might have been stopped at Sedan, and
it ought to stop now, with the concessions
and guarantees the French people aro willing
to make.
Farewell Sermon of Rev. Dr. Wills.
The Rev. Dr. Wills closed his ministerial con,
nection with tho First Presbyterian Church of
Maoon last Sunday—preaching front a text se
lected from tho prayer of our Saviour, report
ed in the 17th chapter of John, “ I have fin
ished the work whioh Thou gavest me to do.’’
After a very impressive discourse applicable to
the saorament of the Lord’s Supper just to be
administered, tho reverend gentleman closed the
sacred volume and remarked that the words of
the text had some personal application to his
present position and hi9 work in Macon, of elev
en years’ duration, which was finished with that
discourse. He then, in accents which soon be
eame obstructed and choked with grief, return
ed his thanks to the Church and congregation
for the kindness with which he had been treat
ed, and alluded to the affecting vioisitndes
which had marked their mutual intercourse
during that protracted period. The people were
much overcome with grief at the separation,
and we havo seldom witnessed a more painful
soene. Mr. "Wills has been fortunate in uniting
tho support of Church and congregation to an
extraordinary degree, and his withdrawal is a
, peculiarly unwelcome event to them all. "We
hope Atlanta will afford the Doctor a larger and
moro active field of usefulness. "Wo know he
will prove a valuable acquisition to that place.
A French Steamer Clinses the nermann.
A dispatch in the Western prints says the
Beotia brought news on the 2Gth that she saw
the Hamburg line steamer Hermann hotly pur
sued by a French war steamer. About 8 o’clock
in tbe forenoon the Scotia sighted tbe Hermann
and signalled her, tbe latter replying. The
German steamer was at the time going at an
extraordinary rate, having on a fail head of
steam. Sho was bearing outward so rapidly
as to attract the attention of the Scotia's passen
gers. The cause of her unusual speed was soon
explained by the appearance of a French war
vessel, also under fall steam and in quick chase
* of the Hermann. The two vessels, as sighted
from tho Scotia, must bave been within view of
each other, and both seemed inclined to keep
' the race. The Hermann was a long way ahead
of the FrenobmaD, and tbe belief on board the
Scotia was, that should she be able to maintain
■ tho same distance between herself and her pur
suer until nightfall, sho could than escape in the
darkness.
The Election Law.—‘‘Reliable” reports that
tho Radicals in the Agency are by no means
pleased with the Election Bill in its present
shape. Tho fact is the power given under the
amendment to the ordinaries to appoint two of
the five inspectors of the election, renders it
possible for a fair and honest man to get on the
Board. That possibility is a fatal objection to
the bill. Tbe wise men saith a single dead fly
will cause the aporthecary's ointment to send
forth a stinking savor—and so a single down
right, energetic man inspector in each connty
would upset the whole fabric of frand. They
have accordingly got up a supplementary bill,
whioh wo trust the Democrats will havo noth- ;
iag more to do with than to kill it, if they can.;
Woman Suffbaoe.—The woman suffragists
were in high session in Fanuel Hall, Boston,I
last Thursday. The hall was crowded with:
fieroe politicians of the feminine gender, butj
now and then a head and a pair of spectacles
belonging to some ancient gentleman of tbe!
weaker sex might be seen in the surging tide of
•ilk and laces. Meek as they were tboy stood
no ohanco. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe denounced
them as bullies, but there was nothing of the
•ort about them, although Stephen Forster said
he had six women to protect—a remark at which
the convention Ianghed heartily.
The New Inox Steamship Geoegia.—The
Charleston Conner says tho Bureau of Statistics
•t Washington, has awarded official numbers
and signal letters to the iron steamship Georgia,
built in Philadelphia, having a tonnage of 1,G43,
tons and 800 horse power. The Georgia will
compose one of the vessels of tho new lino, con
sisting of tho South Carolina and Clyde, of
which W. A. Courtenay and Wagner, Hager &
* -6o. are the Charleston Agents.
Macon, Oct. 3,il870.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:—As the
time is drawing near when we most nominate
men for the Legislature, and a time when our
best men should be nominated, permit me to
suggest the name of James Tinley. Cool and
deliberate action, sound judgment, extensive
information, and no political disabilities, fit him
for one of the men of usefulness in that sphere.
Bibb.
Sausages.—It seems that Atlanta does not
stand alone in a well grounded apprehension of
sausages. The World of the 30th says:
Horrible revelations come up from Jersey
City about the manufacture of sausages. The
apprehensions of timid bon wants are
realized. It is now certain that dogs, cats, horses,
ttid diseased hogs axe chapped up fot sausage-
meat in a large establishment in that suburb.

Central Georgia Fair.
TCBST3DAT.
The weather could have scaroely been more
beautiful for tbe opening of a Fair than it was
yesterday. The sky was almost cloudless and
a cool, gentle breeze from the northwest made
a seat in the hippodrome exceedingly pleasant
Tho attendance, aB is nsnally the case at all
Fairs on the first day, was rather Blim—slim
mer, indeed, than we expected to see. The ex
hibition of articles in the main building was
moderately good yesterday, but owing to the
steady all days’ rains of Friday and Saturday
last, exhibitors were unable to get their articles
on the grounds, and all day yesterday they were
arriving to take their positions in the exhibi
tion halL Wo saw many very beautiful and at
tractive objects, bnt until all aro presented for
exhibition, it would be hardly fair to notice those
already on hand. In to-morrow’s paper we may
give the report of a stroll through the HalL
MATCH SHOOTING.
The programme for the first day of tho Fair
opened with a shooting match, in the “first
class,” for the best shot at 18 double birds, 50
feet rise, 80 yards boundary, for a premium of
0100. There were five entries for tho first day’s
match, but only four had their Bhots, ns the
bird3 gave out on tho 8th shot of Mr. Menard,
Mr. W. W. Parker not shooting, and the judges
decided that the shooting of the day should all
be done over again. We give the score made
yesterday in tho order in which the gentlemen
shot.

Mr. Hardeman hit nearly every bird, and
three or four of them fell dead beyond the
boundary, and therefore they were ruled as
missed birds. Wo thought be did the best and
prettiest shooting of the day, though others
counted the most birds. Ho certainly hit more
birds than anybody.

Mr. Glover is a young gentleman but certain
ly a crack shot, and if be will control himself
a little more and not get excited, he will bother
his opponents to beat him. Ho was much an

SECOND DAT. I
The weather yesterday was again as beautiful
as it could be for outdoor exercise, and the in
teresting programme of the day at the Fair
Grounds, drew together a very large throng of
BDectatora, among whom were some twelve or
fifteen hundred Indies. We h*?ard the crowd
variously estimated at from three to five thous
and, and throughout the day we heard no com
plaints of the management, or harsh criticism
of the preparations that bad been made for
holding the Fair. Tbe ladies did quarrel a little
because the Tournament riding was not done
in the hippodrome instead of on the race track,
as it forced those of them who desired 'to see
the result of each tilt, to leave their comforta
ble and shaded seats in the hippodrome, and go
out in the sun and stand along the side of the
race track in order to do so. We assure tbe
ladies, however, that it was much the bppt and
safest for the knights to ride where they did,
as an accident in the hippodrome might have
been fatal to tbe rider or some spectator. A
knight might have lost grasp upon his sword,
when riding in the arena, and hurled it an the
face of his audience. His horse nntraitjed, as
several of them were, might have leaped the
railing and killed two or three pprsons. It is
dangerous exercise, and it is best to condact it
in the safest manner. Bnt all this aside.:
The shooting match, for lack of birds was
postponpdand the programme of tho day open
ed at 9J- o’clock with tbeexhibition of thorough
bred horses which was very fine, and then fol
lowed the exhibition of horses of all work and
mules.- This last exhibition was particularly
fine and the entries numerous, but we mnRt
content ourselves with mentioning only those
ttufct took premiums, though there were several
fine horses and males that deserve special men
tion. The judges made the following
AWARD OF PREMIUMS.
J. Walters, Albany, thoroughbred stallion
beautifully wrought pair of quilts and counter
panes. Miss Annie Knott, a beautiful pieoe
of Bead work. Mrs. S. Shaw, of Thomaston,
infant’s sack and flannel shirt—very hand
some, indeed. A qnilt by Mrs. Winnifred Rog
ers, of Upson county, in the 90th year of her
age, was a wonderful piece of work for one so
far advanced in years. It attracted much at-
tion and praise, as did also another quilt by
Mrs. Mary Crocker, of Twiggs, aged 88, and
made as the tag said without “specks.”
Beautiful quilts were also exhibited by Mrs. H.
L Dennard, of Perry, Mrs. Mary M, Pierce, of
Griffin, Mrs. S. M. Farrar of Macon, and two
extra fine ones by Mrs. C. O. Broyles, of Mar-
shallville. There were other specimens of needle
work whioh were greatly admired as also a few
specimens of crochet work—one of which was
a serene by Mrs. J. M. Boardman, of this city.
But the centre of attraction, and the most
matchless piece of work we ever saw, in point
of originality and exquisite beauty, was a wreath
made from all kinds of suds aud plants, by a
lady of Savannah. i
In tho way of art, Mr. James A. Pugh and
Messrs. Schaub & Haygood had out many fine
specimens of photography and oil paintings,
particularly tho former. Bnrke, Guilford &
Co., had a case of fine musical instruments
from their store, pianos, organs, etc. And
there were two or three varieties of sewing ma
chines, a fine display of books and stationery
from J. M. Boardman’s, somo very fine;draw-
ings by his son, while B. A. Wise bad a case of
hia splendid crockery, Wing a lot of magnifi
cent silvor plate, jewelry, etc., while O’Connor
and Rasdal both pat up in handsome stylo,
samples of their pnro wine and liquors.
But we must stop our stroll for the present,
with the notice of a lot of honey comb and bee
hives which Mr. W. S. Brantley had on exhibi
tion, that was a cariosity nnd attracted much
attention and comment. Wo shall endeavor to
go through the lower apartments to-morrow,

Number birds in 8 shots 11
And here the birds gave ont and the match
closed for the day, tho judge deciding that m
there were not enough birds on the ground,
the shooting of the day should not count. It
will be seen from tho score of Mr. Menard, that
he shot well, and if he had had his last shut
would, doubtless, have led his highest competi
tor one bird.
The match having closed, the bulk of tbo
crowd adjourned for dinner.
Daring the forenoon several fine horses were
brought out of their stalls, not, however, for ex
hibition, but merely to give them an oiriog and
afford the lovers of fine stock mnch pleasure in
looking at them.
AFTERNOON.
The leading feature in tbe afternoon was the
contest between Georgia raised trotting horse3
^fastest trotting horse, mare or gelding, raised
in Georgia, any age, in harness, mile heats,
best 3 in 5. First premium $300. Second pre-
minm $150.
There were three entries—the “Orphan Boy”
by Mr. Biddlecon, of Bibb county; “Gin Burn
er” by Mr. S. P. Salter, of Houston; and “Bul
let,” by Mr. Pound, of Jones. In the first
heat “Bullet” was withdrawn after being dis
tanced. The heat was won by “Orphan Boy”
by two lengths over “Gin Barner.” The sec
ond and third heats were also won by “Orphan
Boy," as the mare, “Gin Burner,” broke fre
quently, in each heat. It was a close and spir
ited race and afforded the spectators some first-
rate Bport.
There was no exhibition of live Btock during
tbe day, as it was understood that the stock in
several entries bad not arrived, bat would bo
on the ground to-day.
The exhibition to-day promises to be unusal-
ly attractive, and a large crowd will be on
the grounds. In the hall the exhibition will
consist of domestic articles under the head of
the “ladies' department” and it will be very
fine, as large quantities of articles were arriv
ing during all of yesterday. The outdoor ex
ercises will consist in the exhibition of thor
oughbred horses, horses of all work, mnles,
etc., in the forenoon, and in the afternoon tho
grand Tournament takes place.
In this connection we should stato that several
carloads of articles for exhibition came in over
the Macon & Western road yesterday evening,
from Cincinnati, Louisville and Atlanta, and
also some fine stock over the Southwestern
road. So that the visit to the Fair Grounds to
day will well repay the visitor.
AWARD OF PREMIUMS.
The following premiums were awarded yes
terday :

wonld begin at half-past one, and preparations
for it immediately began.
THE TOURNAMENT,
The sensation of the day was certainly the
grand Tournament iu the afternoon, for. which
the following entries were made:
O. O. Olay as ‘ Count Biamatek.”
E. L. Strohecker, Knight of the “Forlorn
Hope ”
S. F. Laidler, Knight of the “Red Rose.”
0. H. Camfield. as “Red Cloud.” ; j
O. J. Holmes, Knight of tbe “White Rose.
R. P. Lee, as “Marco Bozats.”
D. H. Wimberly, as a “Jockey. ”
R. E. Benson. Knight of the “WhitePlume.
J. J. Clay, no name.
As wo have already published tbe rules, and
regulations of tho toumament^it is unnecessa
ry to reproaonp them here, und As our space is
hmi'ed, we can oply give the res lit, merely re
marking that thepilts were math on horseback
with a cavalry swo^d at three hi nds nnd ihreo
rings, placed at a distance if 1< 0 feet apart,
each knight entitled to three tilts:

It will be seen that “ Count ] lismarck ” and
“RedCloud” were tied, and ano'l tr tilt between
the two resulted in favor of R id Cloud, who
took 3 heads and 2 rings to hj i adversary’s 2
heads and2 rings, and Sir. 0. HTl Jampfiield was,
therefore.-entitled to the first priza, and tho
honor of crowning the Queen.
The contest having ihns beau decided, the
knights weie man-haled in th«j arrena of the
hippodrome, and tbe ceremony of crowning tbo

in nppoprmte sentiments, passed to her on tho
point of his saber, the beautiful wreath he had
so gallantly and gracefully won.
Mr. C. C Clay won the second prize, and
transferred his honors in a wreath and n very
handsome little speech to Mis-* Vallie Lamar, of
Vinovtlle. as the First Maid of Honor.

gave the spectators a few moments display of
dashing and daring horsemanship, and tho
'crowd in the hippodrome di-per.sed—some to
return to the city while others repaired to tho
hall in the main building, and to tho music of
the Italian band, under the management of
Prof. Robison, participated in a lively dance of
about one hear, in which several of the Knights
of the tournament joinod.
THE EXHIBITION HALL
.Presented quite a lively aud beautiful display
of domestic and fancy articles yesterday end
premiums were awnrded for needle work, fancy
work, products of the dairy and pantry, piano
music; bat up to tbo hour at which we left tho
grounds, tho awards had not been arranged and
prepared for publication, and rather than make
a mistake we mast defer their publication until
to-morrow, end with it we shall notice many ar
ticles on exhibition of rare merit and beauty’.

and the contest spirited. Indeed, the visitor

horses—both single and in pairs—as he could
find anywhere, and we heard praise bbstowed
upon a few of them in a lavish manner. The

In tho afternoon, tho Ridinjg Ring iwas the
feature of ont-door exhibitions; and the hippo
drome presented a lively anil brilliant appear
ance while it was going on, a>;tl tho spectators
witnessed some splendid and»graceful horse
manship.
EXHIBITION HAIil
Throughout the day the largo hall in the
main building was well attended, and the many
beautiful articled on exhibition attracted "gen
eral attention and admiration.'! In thojruBh of
the crowd, and hurriedly, we^oto the follow-
in B ! 1 1
Mrs. W. F. Anderson, of Vinoville, had
thirty varieties of canned fruits and vegetables
on exhibition, which were exceedingly beami-
fnl, and put up in a manner that altogether laid
in the shude anything of the sort we ever get
from tbe North. They made all months.water
tq get a taBte of, (hem; but her worse-half
hinted to us that they were accessible at honief

TIIE QUAGMIRES OF J4UWOST.
Two Prussian Division* Swallowed Up.
The b ittlo of Mars la Tour, fought August
18, was announced by King William in a dis-
pa*ch to his Queen ns resulting In a. Gorman
victory. Per contra, Marsh Bazaine claimed
it a decided victory for the French arms; and
subsequently, in tho Corps Logislatif, Count
Palikao flatly contradicted his Majesty, saying
“I affirm to the contrary. Tho Prussians were
attacked and driven into the quagmires of Jau-
mont.” As murder will out, so sooner or later
we get at the truth of history. And hero it is
in this case. The affair is too horrible to be
dwelt upon:
| From La Pattis.
Onr readors will remember that on the 18th
two Prussian divisions were thrown into the
quagmires of Jaumont by the troops of Mar
shal Canrobert. j j
A surgeon who assisted in that part of tho no
tion gives ns the fotlowing.affec:iiig detail-;: —
“Tho charge of our cavalry was irresistible.
They first drove the enemy from tho woods sur
rounding tbeso quagmires, then, arrived on the
limit, they drove them violently into the hole,
which swallowed almost an army. Tho men
fell one on top of the other, in a terrible con
fusion. An entire regiment of lancers disap
peared into that abyss. It was pn awful mix
ture of arms, men and horses. Ranks were
thrown upon ranks, and in their fall the poldiers
were killing themselves by fall upon the arms
of their comrades.
Ono witness of that horrible scene says: “I
havo never seen the fear of death reaoh such a
degree." Prince Frederick Charles was beside
himself with rage.
The sargeon from whom we have these de
tails, wo3 made a prisoner against the rights of
war. He offered to Prince Charles to take care
of his wounded. “Let him be shot !" Said the
Prince, in a moment of exasperation. Staff of
ficers remarked to the commanding general that
it would be a grave affair and be condemned by
the rights of men. ThePrince was a litte calm
er, aud authorized tbe suspension of the execu-
tion until the next day, however, the surgeon
was escorted to the outposts of the French
army.
Le Publico says: “I have seen, relates an
architect who was present at Jaumont, • fright
ful spectacle; it is that of that hideoua ornaire
(literally, boheyard). Imagine an immense
abyss, in which are stagnating a mass of bodies
in decomposition, cut, hacked, a mass of brains
and hanging flesh. ; There are; may be^ 10,000
Prussians there.” :: j

Joe Meek, the Oregon trapper, went to Wash
ington as a territorial messenger. His good
looks and relationship to President Polk made
him a great favorite with the ladies. While
promenading one evening, a lady - inquired
whether he hud been married. “Yes,” Joe said,
“I have a wife and six children.” “Ob, la!”
continued his friend, “and isn’t Mrs. Meek
afraid of the Indians?” “Afraid of the Indians!”
replied the frontiersman, ‘T reckon not; why,
she’s an Indian herself?”

view of, and no alteration in, sentences pro
nounced by court martiala. Article Gth pun
ishes with death desertion, murders, shying, pil
lage with or without arms, menaces to or as
saults on a superior, provocation to mutiny or
indiscipline, loss of arms with purpose of avoid-
ine combat, destruction of muoiiions with the
same purpose. Daring fight any commissioned
or non-commi-sioned officer ia authorized to
shoot soldiers acting cowardly, or not assuming
the place to which they are ordered, or endeav-
ing tocreita panic.. All non-military persons

The whole of the decree is applicable to all
armed forces of the Eepublio. Prefects and
Mayors, have been ordered to proceed to mo
bilization and report their progress every
three days, under penalty of revocation for non
compliance. These decisive measures meet
with the hearty approval from the - whole popu
lation here.

finding means to prevent disorders at Lyons,
where parties, who have usurped authority,
have just sequestriated properties of religious
corporations.

Government from F « care of the poor, and
throws the responsibility thereof on tho munic
ipalities. . Breadstuff's not reserved in house
holds for uso aro to he pat at the disposal of the
Paris commisspat. The Prnssians push their
