jtisspomnos to the Great State Fair.—
Hoff has effected arrangements whereby
I uvbcdy and everybody within the broad do-
I ain of this, the greatest country on the planet,
I -uy attend the great State Fair in this city to
te held on the 23 J of October next, for half
: iu, both for freight and passage. In other
I rorli, tiansportation for visitors and articles
!x nhibition will be furnished at the usual
niwtotho Fair, and after It closes all persons
id utides will be furnished free transporta-
j tioo Uek home. This arrangement extends
| 'ran Boston to Galveston and from St Paul
| toSmnsah.
Tlii liberal arrangement will secure, donbt-
fes, u immense throng of visitors daring the
Fiir, ind tend greatly to enlarge the entries of
iitieiMisdincrease the interest in the exhibi
tion. It will be one of the grandest demons! ra
tion! of science, agriculture and art ever made
iathe South, and the extensive preparations
being made for it, proves that Mayor Hnff will
be equal to the emergency. He is, to-day, the
liwat man in Georgia, and we predict that after
tie Fait, and the hosts of visitors have returned
tMlrit homes, his fame will become national
Tie alter cements being made in the city for
tie entertainment of the vast crowd are numer
oos and on a grand scale. Every vacant room
in the city is being secured and furnished for
the reception of visitors by onr hotel and res
taurant proprietors, and private residences ere
being pot in order to assist in this important
matter. There must not, nor will there be any
complaint on this subject, as was the case in
150. Besides, the Fair Grounds are within a
half mile of the heart of the city, and there can
be no complaint as to transportation thither,
teeease the street cars will be running to and
from tho grounds every five minutes in the day,
ud if a visitor does not desire to ride, he can
valk from any of the hotels to the grounds in-
ado of ten minntes. We, therefore, bid every
body come, and bring with them whatever thing
of interest they may have for exhibition, in the
nsnrance that they will be well and hospitably
received, and that the visit will be one of inter-
(itand benefit to them. The programme of
tie Fair appears in onr advertising columns
this morning.
AMiosmoEsr Thoroughfare. —In an article
yesterday on the subject of the extension of
Second street, straight out over Troup Hill to
tie Houston road, we had not the time or space
to allnde to the great advantages and conveni
ence of the work to the people of the southern
portion of the county, or to apeak of this end
the line. Shonld the road, now finished to
tie corporation line, be brought on to the head
of Second street, (and the faith of the city is
pledged to the work,) it will strike the level of
tie street which extends through the heart of
tie city and directly by the Court-house to the
tirer bank. Then we shall have from the Hons
ton road to the river a beautiful street, two
ttiles in length. Suppose, then, that we bridge
tie river at the foot of Second street, and ex
tend it on the other side to the Clinton road,
*onld it not be one of the most magnificent
thoroughfares in the South ? Would it not be
rutly advantageous to onr Second and Third
street merchants and business men, and to the
wVa* city at large, to say nothing of the great
convenience it would be to our friends and
C( >glbors in Houston and Jones counties, when
bringing their produce to market? Indeed
vaoid be a grand thing.
The distance from the Houston road, on
tiraigbt through Second street to the Clinton
foad beyond the river, is a distance of about
three miles, one third of which, from the river
link to the foot of TronpHill, is almost a dead
level, and will require no grading. From the
foot of the hill to tho city line, the point at
*hich the connty stopped work, is a distance of
only about 400 yards, and when this short
ipace is graded, we have two-thirds of the splen
did thronghfare completed, or that portion of it
Ictween the Houston road and the river. As
*« stated yesterday, this much of the work is
indispensable, and the City Council, it is earn
hoped, will, at it next meeting, order the
Rinding of the 400 yards of the street above al-
JJded to. It will cost bnt very little to grade
•his much of the road, and we are snro onr citi-
will cheerfully endorse any action the
tonncil may take, with a view to having it done
immediately. As to tho bridging of the river,
JJJ? extending the street on the north to the
Umion road, vje fear that we shall feel age
Weeping upon us before we see it; bnt it will
I* dono at some distant day, as snre as gun is
And then we shall see beautiful family
nsiuencea for our merchants and citizens gen
*"%, rising as if by magic, upon the many ell
(polo and handsome building sites on the ridge,
JU3t beyond the river. Hail, the auspicious day

Attempted Suicide. — Yesterday afternoon
about 5 o’clock, a middle aged man named J. O.
McCormick entered Dr. "Wright’s drug store on
Fourth street, and in a cool, business-like way
called for a three oz. vial of laudanum. It was
handed to him by Mr. Danfortb, the druggist.
McCormick then remarked that he wanted it
weighed, and after drawing the stopper of the
vial, be picked up a glass gradaate silting on
the counter and poured the contents of the vial
into it. Having done this, he approached a
pair of scales sitting on the counter, ostensibly
to weigh the drug, bnt so soon as he got the
scales between himself and Mr. Danforth, who
was on the inside of the counter, he placed the
graduate to his lips and began to drink the
deadly poison. Mr. Danforth, noticing this
movement, quickly reached across the counter
and knocked the graduate out of McCormick’s
hand, bnt not before he had swallowed about
two onnees of the landannm. The man was
immediately taken to the office of the city phy
sician, Dr. Holmes, and was given copious
draughts of warm water and sulphate of zine,
which soon produced vomiting. The patient
was also kept upon his feet and walked about
the yard, to prevent his going to sleep, and at
this writing (7, p. it.,) hopes are entertained
that he will recover. No canse was assigned by
Mr. C. for the rash act, other than that he was
once a gentleman and had money, bnt that
now he was penniles and worthless."

Money Tight.—The late and slow movement
of tho present cotton crop has produced a strin
gency in the money market, and a scarcity of
currency in thi3 section, nneqnaled within the
last three years. We were informed yesterday
that it is almost impossible to borrow money in
anything like large amounts from the banks—
not even on such unquestionable security as
Central Railroad bonds and at the highest rates
of interest As yet, there has been no cotton
sold here worth mentioning, the present season
and hence there is an unosual scarcity of
morey, that is being felt most sensibly in com
mercial circles. The preesnre cannot exist
mneb longer, if the present beantifnl weather
for cotton-picking continues; for just so soon
as what little that has been made is thrown upon
the market, the money current will begin to flow
back upon ns from the eastern markets, in
which direction the stream flows annually be
tween the first of April and September.
Livelier.—For the first time since the cyclone
of three weeks ago, our streets presented a
lively and business-like appearance yesterday.
Quite a number of wagons from the surrounding
country came to town with cotton, and left in
the afternoon loaded heavily with provisions
and plantation supplies. So many of the conntry
road bridges were swept away by the late
freshet, that it is still a difficult matter for wag
ons to reach the city from any considerable dis
tance, and until they can do so trade will move
heavily along. Shonld the present clear acd
beantifnl weather continue a few days longer
the wanted activity and business life of tho city
will return, and the heavy monetary pressure
now embarrassing trade will be removed.

Thronghont the day all offered at those figures was
freely taken—fancy cotton commanding a fraction
more. The market closed strong at 17% with an

Money has been extremely tight dating tbs last
week, and the banks have refused paper of the most
unquestionable character for wont of funds. Money
has, therefore, been very scarce, and is still eo; nor
will relief be obtained until tho cotton crop comes
forward more rapidly and is thrown upon the mar
ket.
The stock and bond market is almost dead still,
as there is little or no idle money in anybody's
hands here to invest in this class of securities. We
therefore quote only the money market proper:

There was a perceptible improvement in the whole
sale and jobbing trade of the city daring the last
week, upon what it was the week before, bnt it is
still far short of what it ought to be at tbiB season
of the year. Bnt it is easily accounted for. The
weather has been very inclement for nearly a month
and the cotton market, has, as yet, barely opened.
There is. nevertheless, a feeling of confidence in
commercial circles, and prices of leading articles in
drygoods, groceries and provisions rule firm. Flour
has advanced during (bo week 50 cents per barrel in

Kimball House.—It was rumored here on the
streets yesterday morning that the Kimball
House, in Atlanta, bad been closed. Upon in
anity, in the afternoon, of a gentleman just
down from Atlanta, we learned that there was
not one word of troth in the report and no
grounds for it. He stated also that Mr. H. I.
Kimball had succeeded in negotiating all his
State bonds in Liverpool, and would return
within the next week or ten days. The writer
is one -t those who will not believe that Kim
ball has “busted” until the proof of it is pro
duced.
Big Luck.—We were informed yesterday by
a gentleman just arrived from Augusta,that Mr.
Jno. Kenney, merenant tailor of that city, bad
drawn a $50,000 gold prize in the Royal Ha
vana Lottery. Wo congralulato Kennoy and
hope no will now show the world that he knows
how to handle gold as well as he handled his
“goose.”
Mrs. Spratt, an Illinois woman, has made
the following speech: “Yes, gentlemen, this
is a productive country. Anything in the line
of tho animal or vegetable kingdom here beats
the world. I have made 460 pounds of bntter
from five cows in one year; and, as you refer
to my children, I am prond to say that I have
had twenty-six; and that man there (pointing
to her husband) is the father of every blessed
one."

IK MEMORIAM.
Died, in Twiggs connty, Ga., on tho 15 th in
stant, of peritonitis, Mrs. M. H. Melton, in
the 22d year of her age.
It falls to the lot of bnt few ladies of no more
years than the subject of this notice to be so
universally esteemed, as was plainly demon
strated by the large concourse of friends in sor
row with her day and night during her last ill
ness, ever ready to administer to her wants and
necessities. Bat this was only natural, as she
possessed all the attributes to make her a friend,
sister, daughter and a faithful, kind and true
wife. We frankly acknowledge her loss will be
seriously felt by her friends, neighbors, sisters,
brothers and parents, but above all by her de
voted husband. Yea, the loss is irreparable.
But we shonld be consoled when we were as
sured by her last words that her personal worthy
social and intellectual endowments, were only
external portions of the temple of tho heart,
in which she cherished many Christian graces.
She prayed to die that she might see the face of
her Saviour. With these words of Christian
consolation, may the ones nearest and dearest
the one who has paid the great debt and gone
the way of all the earth, so live that when their
tabernacles of clay are dissolved they, too, may
join her in “that house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens.” Friend.

The Baxter Engine which yon pat up in tho press-room of The San Buildings, for us, after a sufficient
trial, gives entire satisfaction. A great number of persons, among them many of onr beat engineers,
have called to eee it. Tbe universal testimony is that it is superior to any engine ever before brought to
this city. It is a beauty—occupies bnt little more epaoe than a large sized heating stove, and the insu
rance agents say it is safer than a stove, and charge ns no extra premium on our insurance. It keeps in
perfect order without any trouble, and is so Bimpie and easily managed that anybody can ran it. lt is
also very economical, requiring but little more fuel than a small family oooUsg stove. Altogether it
excels any engine we ever saw, and we cordially commend it, with the fullest confidence of its giving
satisfaction. For plantation purposes it is Just what has long been wanted: cheap, safe economical
easily managed by any one, and not liable to get oat of order. Very respect fully,
