MACON, OCTOBER 3i 1871.
GEORGIA STATE FAIR.
Despite the predictions of ■weak-kneed and
f aict-hearted doubters, the StatoFair is a grand
success. Tho display in every department has
never been equaled at any previous Fair. The
Grounds present one vast scene of magnificence
and splendor. From the granite hills that over
look New England’s ragged coast to the level
prairies of the Texan shore—from the placid
lakes upon our northern boundaries to the
everglades of tho Land of Flowers, tho people
have come with articles of beauty and useful
ness. An interest is manifested by all, such as
is rarely seen.
Among the most prominent visitors that wo
havo mot is Hon. 0. H. Dnpont, of Florida,
formerly Chief Justice of that State, and now
general emigration Agent for the States of Geor
gia and Florida, and Mr. Waring, Secretary of
the Maryland Stato Agricultural Society.
Col. Lewis, Secretary of onr Stato Society, this
morning received a telegram from General
Toombs stating that he would arrive here on
Tuesday night, and would deliver an address
from the Grand Stand on Wednesday morning.
The weather is a little warm but the fine for
est affords shade sufficient to protect thousands
from the rays of the sun. The grounds are
being sprinkled continually to prevent the dust
from rising, which would otherwise be 6tifling.
Thanks to the indomitable energies of onr live
and worthy Mayor, every department ha3 been
attended to, and not a single point has been
overlooked by his watchful eye
Passing through the main entrance gate onr
attention was fi»st attracted to the hall for the
display of machinery and agricultural imple
ments. In front stands an almost endless row
of wagons from as many manufacturers. Some
of the most prominent we noticed were the
Sindebaker, Whitewater, Jackson and Milbura
others were there, but only having a short while
to spend in inspecting each department we
could lock no farther and entered the ball where
wo were perfectly astounded and confused by
tho splendid collection of agricultural imple
ments. It has never been onr good fortune to
witness so general a display of farming ntcnsils
as met our gaze. Mowers of different sizes—
one and two horse ; plows of every kind and
quality, plow Blocks, cotton seed and guano
distributors, cotton choppers, com and cotton
planters, sugar cane mills, cotton seed haliers,
com shelters, fans for cloaning wheat, harrows,
wheat and seed drills, portable smith’s forges,
gins, grist mills, etc., etc.
This is in onr opinion the mo3t important de
partment in the entire exhibition. If the
Southern people are spccialy interested in any
one thing more than all others, it is in farming.
Labor is growing scarcer and more difficult to
control every year, and soon (should it not be
so now ?) the white men of the South will have
to depend mainly upon their own labor for pro
ducing the great staple, once called king, but
now tho veriest subject of Northern bulls and
bears. So long aa we persist in grouping great
numbers of freedmen together on large plan
tations, buying provisions for them on a credit,
giving liens upon the cotton crops before
thev°are‘ made, so loDg will the great
staple be under the control of Northern
capitalists and wo the veriest slaves to
the tyrants who have robbedns of all we had,
and who would further oppress us by taking
from us every vestige of constitutional liberty.
What we want is small farms, run upon econom
ical principles, and to do this successfully, every
labor-saving implement .that the ingenuity of
man can invent must be called into requisition.
Wi «n tho old system of planting shall have
gone into disrepute, and been supplanted by tho
more economical system of farming, then, and
not until then will wo see our great Southern
staple once more assuming his monarchist robes,
and tho Southern people freed from the Radical
rhfiiri* that have so long bonnd ns hand and
foot. But we beg pardon for this digression.
It would be the height of folly to attempt an
enumeration of all we saw in this department.
Passing out of the immense Hall, we next
inspected the live stock department Here we
found horses of every kind, cattle in endless
variety, sheep, goats and hogs. The display of
fowls 'is also very fine—chickens, ducks, tur-
kies, geese, etc. We noticed one old Brahma
cock, with head orect, apparently looking down
in contempt upon his neighbors of smaller size,
ever and anon soanding his deep bass voice as
if to attract tho notice of all. Tho number
of horses entered np to eleven o’clock this morn
ing, was near one hundred, about twenty-five of
which were from other States.
We next strolled through tho hall for tho dis
play of buggies, carriages, etc., and found it
literally filled to overflowing. Some of the most
beautiful buggies and carriages we have ever
seen wero on exhibition, numbering wo suppose
not less than one hundred. Here we halted and
retired to tho Editors’ homo to make notes of
what we had seen. The crowd of visitors is
very large, and every train is laden to its full
capacity. There is no doubt that this will be
the Fair of all that have ever taken place in
Georgia.
SECOND DAT.
The rain continued to fall throughout the
night, and in the early morning the weather was
stUl gloomy and threatening. There is no dust
to stifle and annoy visitors this morning, nor
are the walks unpleasantly wet and muddy.
No rain has fallen during the morning and the
crowd of visitors is large. The press is largely
represented and all aro perfectly delighted with
the grounds and exhibition.
If it wero possible to add to tho beauties of
Floral Hall as displayed on yesterday, it has
been done to-day. Many entries in each de
partment have been made daring the day, and
the Secretary reports a continued rush. The
ladies have outdono themselves, if possible, in
rendering their department attractive, and any
visitor who fails to inspect closely the beauties
of the largo halls under their supervision, will
miss a rare treat. Our attention was particu
larly attracted to the memorial tables, where
are offered for sale bouquets, pin cushions, va
rious kinds of fanoy nccdlo work, and many
articles of usefulness and beanty. Tho pro
ceeds of these sates are to augment tho funds
for the purchase of a monument, to be erected
totho memory of tho Confederate dead of Geor
gia, and wo commend the department to tho
patronage of every true-hearted Georgian.
In the department of agricultural implements
and machinery, many new entries have been
made since wo looked through on yesterday. In
this branch of tho exhibition we feel deeply in
terested, as should every citizen of Georgia. We
noticed particularly and call upon all who pass
through tho hall to observe the display of plows
made by Mr. W. J. McEwen, agent for Hall
Speer, manufacturers of all descriptions of
§ lows, cotton sweeps and cultivators,Pittsburgh,
’ennsylvanio. Their Butler plow,'with rolling
cutter attached, is worthy of special and care
ful notice. Wo look upon it as something of
rare merit in agricultural improvements. Again
we insist upon an examination of the many
plows exhibited by Mr. McEwen.
In tho live stock department many entries
have been made daring the day, prominen
among which are those of Mr. Summers oft
Tennessee. He ha3 on exhibition cattle, sheep
and hogs. His sheep aro the Cotawold breed. t> . TO -„ . . , ..
The breed of cattle and hogs we did not learn. — 166 •“ dogant case of Meriden
Having no further time to spend in strolling, , ® or “ un plate, China and out glass, which
through the grounds, wo retired with the inten- m ®~ es a handsome display.
Jion cf looking farther this afternoon—know
ing that tho other departments had been closely
inspected and would be carefully noticed by
the venerable senior of our editorial-trio.
GRAND EXHIBITION- HALL.
Among con thetents of the first floor of the
Grand Exhibition Hall we note the following;
Carhart <fc Card make an excellent display of
mechanics’ tools, Fairbank’s scales of all sizes,
Ca >r a P? stoclc <md baby carriages.
Cutter of East Macon, shows some
sweet potatoes of portentous size, thirteen of
wnica make abnshel.
TinIe T 016 handsomest bushel of sweet
potatoes we have ever seen.
Johnny Stubbs also exhibits some monsters of
the same kind.
B. D. Lumsden shows some seed of the Las.
pedeza Striata.
There is a fine lot of bread corn exhibited by
J. A. Nelson, - J
T. G. Holt, jr., shows 10 bales of npland cot
ton. Mrs. E. 0. Grier, the best one bale, and
three best bales ot-npland long staple cotton.
Daniel T. Driggers of Bibb, enters for best ten
bates of short staple, H. EL Swatts, of Bames-
ville, the best five bates.
Gf the show of carriages we have already
spoken. They are very numerous and fine.
A. B. Landis, of Mount Joy, Pennsylvania,
has some very handsome carriages and bnggie
and amorg them a carriage poised npon a com
bination of the O and the eliptio springs, which
we consider a very important improvement for
this or any other ountry where roatts are roughs
—important both to the comfort of the rider
and the durability of the carriage.
Demarest, Woodruff, & Co., 038, Broadway,
and Third street, Macon,exhibit a large collection
of very fine carriages and baggies, which well
merit close attention.
Fitzgerald & Gee, of Cortlandt, New York, are
also represented by a small stock.
Jackson DeLoache and Collins & Little have
fine collections. There are two exhibitions of
bnggies of domestic manufacture, and both are
highly creditable. One is made by Smith &
Summers, of Barnesville, and consists of three
bnggies, very strong, serviceable and hand
some. Valeritino & Freeman, of Macon, show
two buggies of their own make in this city,
which attract much admiration even among
their brilliant competitors, and will pas3 for fine
work anywhere.
Continuing investigations in the General Ex
hibition Hall, we find there are constant addi-
tions to every department and prognosticate a
fall house to-day.
John 0. Ragsdale, of De Kalb county, makes
a very interesting exhibition. Mr. Ragsdalo
has the name of being the best practical farm
er in Georgia. Mr. It. shows com which shells
out a bushel to every fifty-six ears. Of course
it is com. The ears are somewhat less than
two feet in length—the grains very large and
very white. He has suspended to a pillar a
demonstration of tho length of corn and cotton
rodts—something over seven feet to each.
Many people do not know that corn and cotton
shoot out lateral roots to the length- cf seven
feet.
L. W. Leike, of Griffin, shows fine corn,
and also sweet potatoes—a sample of 456 bush
els to tho acre—and a bale of peavine hay.
B. D. Lumsden, ot Bibb, has made some very
interesting entries. AmoDg them are samples
of seven varieties of hay from native grasses.
He lays claim to the* best economical result in
the way of forage, and famishes two bales of
hay or clover from the Lespideza Striata, sam
ples of a'prodact of 8,818 pounds from lj acres.
This forage is bright, sweet and good as forage
ever was, and Mr. Lumsden says that stock eat
it very greedily.
S. W. Bloodwortb, of Griffin, exhibits com
and peas, and W. L. Lampkin, of Monroe, two
bales of line clover hay. T. G. Holt has on ex
hibition five bales of cotton produced in Bibb,
and classing fully fair—a beautiful article.
Agricultural contributions are coming in fast
and wo shall notice them again.
J. H. Bandy k Go., 40 Third street, Macon,
show very fine specimens of ornamental cor
nices, etc., in galvanized iron. Also a house il
lustrating their method of rooffing and guttering
in tin.
Tho Southern Terra Gotta works in Atlanta,
Ga., are represented by Mr. A. McQueen, of Ma
con. They have a thousand handsome specimens
tboir work in brackets, flower vases, stands,-
columns, baskets, urns, cpimnoy tops, etc., and
Mr. McQueen is getting a good many orders for
them. Mr. McQneen also exhibits on bis own
account, samples of ornamental wrought iron
work, railing and stands of various kinds.
B. F. Boss & Go. show a very fine assortment
of carpeting and parlor and bed roomfnmitnre,
C. B. Veronee, of Athens, Ga., has a very in
genious contrivance which ho calls a Rectum
Bathing Chair and Portable Water Closet—a
very convenient addition to the sick chamber.
Johnson & Dunlap, of Macon, occupy a comer
with a handsome display of mechanics’ tools of
every variety, scales, various kinds of house
hold hardware, garden and farming tools, and
iron and wooden carriage furnishings.
J. B. Artope & Son exhibit marble work in
mantels and mural ornaments.
Small & Gamble show their standard brands
of flour. So doe3 H. O. Stevenson. Willingham
& Wheeler exhibit Eagle Mills flour of Macon
manufacture.
George T. Rogers’Sons, Macon, make a beau
tiful display of their standard brands of fanoy
flour—Falls City, Ohio Falls, Silver Lako and
Mammoth Gave, together with a pyramid of
bread and cake from the same, made by one of
the first ladies in Macon, which is very beauti
ful. Bread so white and delicate is seldom seen.
The Muscogee Manufacturing Company of Co-
Inmbns, show beautiful jeans, shirtings, sheet
ings, cotton cordage and fine bleached cotton
shirtings. It is a very creditable display.
W. B. Wood of Newnan, Georgia, shows
some handsome black brogans, from his manu
factory in that place. We are gratified to see
this evidence of Georgia enteprise.
Respess & Co., of Upson, Georgia, and H. J.
Sargeant, of Newnan, exhibit samples of cot
ton yams.
C. L. Howerton, of Nashville, has a granddis-
play of fine saddles and harness of their own
manufacture. It is a dashing collection. We
may say jnst the same for Smith, Westcott &
Co., who exhibit a great variety of horse inves
ture of all kinds.
In stoves, the display is large, but we saw
but two competitors—Oliver, Douglas & Co.,
and B. A. Wise, both of Macon. The dough
was ready—thefires were started, and they were
about to show how suddenly loaves and biscuits
conld be baked.
GEASD EXHIBITION HAUL—CONTINUED.
In the way of the products of house wifery
the collection is gathering thick and'fast. First
a3 to preserves—there aro beautiful specimens,
by Mrs. E. C. Grier, of Griswoldvillo; Mrs.
Dunn and Mrs. Cabaniss, of Monroe, contribute
eighty-four varieties; Mrs. Col. T. W. Maug
ham, of Macon; Mrs. Bagly of Bibb; Mrs. Bar
ron of Jones,and Mrs. A. G. Batts, allcontribnte
beautiful sweetmeats. Mr. J. J. Dews, of
Monroe, has a splendid bouquet made from
the foliage, fruit and blossoms of twenty-nine
varieties of vegetables, and the ladies tell us
there are but thirty-one known in the South.
In the way of domestic wines and liquors, W.
B. Simonton, of (Spalding county, contributes
three varieties of peach brandy; Mrs. W. S.
Brantly, snndry samples of Blackberry wine.
There is also a somewhat lively contest among
tho bread-makers and much bread and cake is
shown which wonld please the most fatidions.
nOSAtBUL
Floral Hall all day was a busy scone. Con
tributions of all kinds were crowding in and
tho bnilding is now pretty well packed. En
tering the east end the first attraction is tho
splendid exhibition made by Messrs. Sharpe &
Floyd, of Atlanta. These gentlemen have $S0,-
000 in value of jewelry, watches, plate and
bronzes on exhibition. They can show diamond
seta valued at $7,000, and if one is very anxious
to spend money she can buy a pair of Bolitaire
ear-rings at $5,000. Their stock of watches is
very fine and includes a diamond watch which
took a premium at the Grand Paris Exposition.
The case of this watch is set with 3S0 diamonds,
small ones, of course. These exhibitors show
nothing but pare plate, and have a splendid
stock of it. They exhibit, also, somo beautiful
bronzes, much tasteful gold jewelry and a good
many articles of vertu.
Wing & Solomon, of Macon, at the other ex
tremity of the hall, also show a beautiful and
•:ostly array of jewelry, watches and silver ware.
Hunt, Rankin & Lamar, of Macon, displiy
a veiy handsomo array of perfumery of their
own manufacture in elegant cat glass bottles,
handsomely arranged.
Reed, C/iinrick & Andrews, 198 Fulton street,
New York, exhibit a handsome array of medi
cines of their own preparation..
J. H. Zeilin & Co., of Macon, havo a nicely
arranged exposition of medicines and per
fumery of their own manufacture.
Oliver, Douglass & Co., of Macon, show a
case of plated ware and table furniture and
adornments.
One of the most interesting exhibitions on
the lower floor of Floral Hall is made, pro bono
publico, by L C. Plant, Esq.. This is two cases
of Indian pottery, stone work and other relics
and of various exceedingly interesting fossil re
mains collected principally in Georgia. They
embrace several specimens of theTribolite, the
first display of animated nature succeeding
Chaos, down to nnmerons relics of the Sanrians,
the mammoth and other ante—deluvian mons
ters. The collection is worth days of study.
M. B. Rogers, the well-known Macon confec
tioner, occupies the corner of the Stall opposite
Sharpe & Floyd, with every trinmph of his sweet
and pl&stie art.
Mr. M. H. Cotter exhibits in a case a cross
section of every wood—the growth of Bibb
connty.
Jacob Schall, Mix & Kirtland, E. P. Strong,
and Charles C. Hughes, of Atlanta, make hand-
Borne displays of fine boots and shoes. Sohall
and Hughes exclusively of their own manufac
ture.
Some of the ladies of the Presbyterian Church,
bouquets, choice plants, Canary birds, goldfish,
etc., being fired with an ambition to collect mon
ey enough to build a parsonage for the chnrch.
The ladies of the Memorial Association have
also displayed singular taste in arranging a re
treat for themselves, where they do a tastefal
merchandise in aid of their holy cause.
Brown & Co. have a tasteful stand, and dis
play an infinity of articles of taste and value.
Truman & Green show a grand variety of
ortioles in,the household furnishing line, in
cluding a fine display of plated ware.
The well-known grocers, Greer, ,L9ke & Co.,
and Patzel & Jacobs, rival each other in exceed
ingly attractive displays of fruits, confections
and all the sweets and fragrances of the elevated
family grocery lice. Greer, Lake & Co. also
display an expensive assortment of Kentucky
seeds.
J. H. Hertz contributes a showy case of gen
tlemen’s famishing goods, arranged with great
taste, which is highly creditable to that estab
lishment.
The display of flowering plants is very largo,
and has been liberally contributed to by Mr. P.
J. Berckmhns, Mrs. Charles Collins, Mrs. S. F.
Tinsley and others.
In vegetables, Mr. George O. Beal, of Bald
win, contributes forty varieties, and some of
them remarkable specimens. He says he has
raised 7,000 hard white cabbages this fall,
making two crops from the same ground within
the year, which have met with ready sale at high
prices. Mr. S. M. Farrar, of Jones, shows
some monstrous turnips of three varieties. Mr.
A. J. Singleton and Mrs. Brantly have on exhi
bition egg plants big as a foot ball.
In fruits, Dr. Hamilton, of Dalton, displays
sixteen varieties of apples, some of which wonld
weigh nearly a pound. Mrs. O. O. Greene, of
Fort Gaines, shows some wonderful pears.
To conclude, I see that in one corner of tho
lower floor of Floral Hall, Pike’s Dollar Store
has a large collection of almost everything.
This is a hasty glance at the contents of the
ground floor of Floral Hall. We will look
further to-morrow.
THIBD DAV.
A warm, mizzling, muggy morning, ushered in
the third day of the Fair, and speculations as to
the probability of a Wet day, run riot in anxious
breasts. Bnt at high noon, there is better prom
ise of dry weather than earlier in the day—and a
good promise at that. The crowd is constantly
inoreasing, and to-day it may be fairly called
large—how many thousand, I will not attempt
to say. An approximate conjectnre is impossi
ble. The grounds are so spacious, and so much
of the area is hidden from view, at any one
stand point, and the buildings are so numerous
and large, that two or three thousand—yes, five
of them, can be lost to view without difficulty.
The exhibition now assumes large propor
tions, but it does not have the striking effect
which it wonld produce in a single immense
edifice. Place .the two great halls under one
roof, and every visitor would be surprised at
the magnitude of the display. Let any ono go
patiently through both in succession and he will
be weary of sight-seeing. Only he whojdodgos
in and out, content with a mere cursory glance
at parts of the Exposition, will be apt to under
rate it. I can curs any man of the suspicion
that this is a small show who will go round with
me, pencil in hand, and attempt to note one-
half of tho exhibits worthy of- special mention.
His pationce will soon fail and his fingers tire.
In my last I had passed hastily through the
first floor of Floral HalL Above this the Pic
ture Gallery is an object of general attraction.
Here are very numerous collections of all kinds
of adventures in the Art Pictorial. The le iding
daguerrean artists of this section aro very num
erously represented. Pngh and Riddle have very
handsome collections of photographs in great
variety. Haygood, of Atlanta, makes a fine
display. Mrs. Josephine Horne, of 129 East
Tenth sti set, New York, bnt a Georgia artist,
has somo very fine colored photographs of prom
inent citizens,which are fine pictures and strik
ing likenesses. She also exhibits some beauti
ful porcelains. Her corner attracts much atten
tion. Boruff has some speaking portraits of,
prominent Georgians. Eastman,of Atlanta, and
Easton of Macon, show surprising performances
with pen and ink—rivalling a lithograph in del
icacy. Ono of tho best portraits of Mayor
Huff has been accomplished by Easton with
pen and ink, and we may say tho same of his
likenesses of Mr. Davis and General Lee.
EL L. Hillyar, of Berne, Georgia, has somo
very fair specimens of landscape painting.
Mills, dk> artist, shows some beautiful Georgia
and Florida landscapes, which deserve especial
attention. The entrios by amateurs—ladies,
and school children, are numerous and interest
ing. These very are numerous pictures in em
broidery. The gallery contains in all some
where between five hundred and a thousand
pictures—good, bad and indifferent, and is tho
largest display of this kind we havo seen in
Georgia. This gallery occupies tho third story
of Floral Hall.
Tho second floor contains so many articles
beautifnl and interesting that we havo no space
to mention a titbn of them. Tho rival sowing
machines present an extended and lively scene
of competition. The Howe, Florence, Singer,
Weed and Wheeler & Wilson all exhibit the vari
ous styles of their machines in active operation
and there is no part of the exhibition which
claims a closer attention from the ladies. The
dobate between tho operators and lookers-on
npon the relative merits of tho machines wa3
general and spirited.
This has been a lively and satisfactory day on
the grounds- Tho attendance has been very
good. Yesterday the estimate at tho gate was
seven thousand. To-day there have been about
ten thousand on the grounds, and the most
cheerful and well-satisfied assemblage, I have
seen for a long time. After all, the best sight
of the whole is these intelligent and beautiful
faces, and well clad snd graceful forms. It is a
fine population we havo in old Georgia, and wo
ought to be thankful for it. Such a people are
bound to assert themselves in due time, though
they may be the victims of a temporary repres
sion. We shall be a great people yet—no'mat-
ter what strategems of political devilment may
be set on foot against us. This well dressed
throng of ten thousand people scattered through
these ample and mognificlcnt grounds—crowd
ing tho tasteful structures of Central Park—all
good natured and happy is worth travelling a
Hundred miles to see.
I have been looking a little at the machinery
department-to-day, and will try to finish my ob-
seivalions to-morrow. There is muoh to see,
and to me it is gratifying to observe elegaut
ladies interesting themselves so mnch in me
chanical achievements. I do not know, after
all, that onr women are not tho most practical
part of the genus lurno.
Outside of the great machinery hall three
portable steam engines aro contesting for su-
iremaoy: J. C. Hoadley & Co., of Lawrence,
AIiss., represented by Mr. Crockett, of this
city; W. E. Tanner & Co., Metropolitan Works,
Richmond, Va., and H. & P. Blaney, of Zmes-
villo, Ohio. Each of these manufacturers are
well represented. EL B. Brown is the agent of
the MetropolitanWorks in this city, and drives
all the machinery in tho mechanical department
with a forty horse power engine made by W. E.
Tanner & Co.
Mr. Crockett says Ifoadley’s Engines are the
best. With one of these he is driving Evart’s
patent Shingle Machines, and showing how
shiDgles can be sawed ont with a smooth sur
face, at the rate of fourteen thousand' a day.
Mr. Crockett also shows his horse power—a
very simple and effective contrivance at a cost
of a hundred dollars, and he claims that with
fonr negroes he put it on the ground, built a
shed and went to ginning cotton, all in an hour
and a quarter.
Among the numerous steam engines exhib
ited, is Harris' Rotary, which runs on the prin
ciple of a water wheel, the steam being applied
directly to the buckets of a two-foot wheel, un
der a pressure of about eighty pounds to the
inch. It is a very'simple machine, costing
about a hundred dollars to the horse-power, and
works like a beaver. This is exhibited by the
Brown Cotton Gin Company, of New London.
Connecticut.
The Findlay Brothers have erected a temple
or pavilion on their own account and show three
splendid steam engines in operation—two up
right and one horizontal of eight horse power.
One of these engines is running a Wheeler &
Wilson sewing machine at a.rate little slower
than lightning.
Three or four cotton presses are represented
in the neighborhood—the Findlay anti-friotion
and Schofield’s—which are screw presses, and
the Smyth and Utley lever possesses. I will
speak of them to-morrow.
Among the displays made by merchants on
Ihe seoond floor of the hall we noticed the fol
lowing:
W. A. Hopson & Co. have a very elegantly
arranged stand, and show a stock of dress goocLs
which will raise envy in the gentle bosomB of
the bSlles.
In the same line I. B. Ross k 8. T. Coleman
make a fine display. _ /
S. Waxelbaum & Co. have tried themselves
Guilford & Hill, of Macon, show a splendid
collection of pianos and organs. Ludden A
Bates, of Savannah, exhibit some richly orna
mented pianos.
Carhart & Cord havo a case of plated ware
for the table, carpenter's and joiner’s findings,
and table and other cattery.
John W. Burke & Co. are represented in
a fine show of books and fanoy goods in their
line, including ingenious toys. Their toy steam
engines in operation arrest the attention of
many passers.
Young America Engine Company makes a
display of their trophfes of victory in n\any a
contest.
The second floor is particularly noticeable
for its rich display of embroideries of every
style and variety. Their number is legion and
a wealth of taste, skill and labor has been ex
pended on them. Our space is inadequate for
even a meager catalogue of these entries and
many of the me3t meritorious and elaborate ex
hibit no name. They come from numerous
conn ties and are worthy of the highest enlogium.
They include a wide range of articles from
Afghans and Persian covers down to very small
articles, and are in every conoeivable style and
character. There is amusement for many hours
in examining and examiDg this large and splen
did collection, which includes many hundreds
of articles.
Among the curiosities of foreign production
to be seen on this floor is a case exhibited by
Mrs. Wm. B. Johnston, filled with delicate carv
ings in ivory, stag-horn and wood, gathered
during a continental tour in Europe. These
are so minute aud delicate in their lines that
they need to be examined through a magnify
ing glass. Among them is a set of chessmen
in ivory all of which could be contained in a
homeopathists pill box. Another work of simi
lar character is a card table in mosaio and con
structed of 7,000 pieces of wood.
Floral Hall was crowded throughout the entire
day, with the beauty and fashion of this section
and presented an animated and beantif ol scene.
Between the two great halls the United States
Band discoursed excellent music—playing seve
ral operatio pieces daring the day, and halls and
grounds resounded with ths hum of thousands
"of voices. I am going to drop tho more fancy
part of the display and examine the machinery
for a time.

wound.
We quote as follows from the Savannah News,
of Monday:
High Handed Outrage—South Carolina Ne
groes in Arms.—Last night, at an early hour, it
was reported on the streets that threee citizens
of Savannah were killed yestoday morning in
South Carolina. Later in the evening the reports
weie in part confirmed, and tho excitement
caused by the earlier rumors increased.
From parties who reached the city last night
by the steamer Rosa, tho following vorson of tho
bloody affair was obtained:
It appears that Mr. Louis H. DeMonlmollin
is the owner of a plantation in South Carolina,
near the Savannah and Charleston Railroad
bridge, about fourteen mites above this city,
and that he last year rented it to Mr. Lumpkin
Zetler, formerly of Effiogham county, Georgia.
This year, it is s id, Mr. DeMontmollin notified
Mr. Zetler that he wished him to vacate tho
premises, which Mr. Zetler refused to do.
Another version is, that Mr. DeMontmollin
stated to Mr. Zetler that he must not snb-let
the place or a part of it to negroes. However,
Mr. Zetler is said to have taken do particular
notice of either one or the other, or both of Mr.
DeMontmollin’a requests. The difficulty grew
out of an attempt on the part of Mr. DeMont
mollin to enforce his demand.
About ono week ago Mr. DeMontmollin went
to the plantation and forcibly ejected Mr. Zetler
and a number of negroes working on the place.
There is no Magistrate's Court in that neigh
borhood, and, as a number of negroes decided
to remain and work for Mr. DeMontmollin on
tho same terms as they had been working for
Mr. Zetler, and as quiet seemed to have been
restored, Mr) DeMontmollin returned to Savan
nah. Two or threo days ago, however, the
negroes who had abandoned the plantation with
Mr. Zetler, decided to return Bnd drive of those
at work for DeMontmollin. Tho latter named
gentleman immediately left the city, and, ac
companied by Mr. W. A. Kent and Mr. Henry
Slyer, encamped on the place within the ruins
of an old Confederate rifls-pit, there being no
house on tho estate. This rifle-pit they in
part repaired, in order to resist an attack,
should one be made by the negroes. 4- co1 ’
ored man named Stonewall Jackson, one of
Mr. DeMontmollin’a servants, who encamped
with them, yesterday morning about daylight
went down to the river to catch some fish for
breakfast. 'Whilst there he heard a roar of mus
ketry in the direction of the camp where ho bad
left the three white gentlemen sleeping. From
the noise made by the discharge of the guns,
Jackson is nndor the impression that there were
at least 100 shots fired. Jackson immediately
hastened to the shore, intending to reach the
camp, hut by the time he had walked a few
yards, he heard the negrocg shouting and curs
ing “that white man’s nigger,” and knowing
that the band of outlaws referred to him, he
returned to the river bank and concealed him
self in the bushes. Presently the shouts,
cheeps and curses, commingled, became still
more distinct, and soon after about two hun
dred blacks' passed, bearing Mr. Slyer on a
litter, and guarding Mr. M. and Mr. K. who
were prof nsely bleeding from their wonnds,down
to the river. After placing them in the boat, tho
negroes divided, some of them going in the
direct:::.:: cf ihe rifle-pit, the others, leaping in
to a number of small boats, rowed down the
river. Some distance from the landing where
the negroes took to the boats, the river makes a
bend to the northeast. Prom this point to where
the negro (Jackson) wa3 concealed could be heard
the cheers of the assassins and fhe words “go
to Blnffton,” from which it is inferred that the
white men were carried to that place, for what
purpose is not known, perhaps to give the vic
tims a burial in some out of the way place.
Jackson in time left the bushes where he was
concealed, and went up the river some distance
until he found a boat and pulled himself to
Purysburg. He was accompanied by a white
boy and a negro from the Carolina side of the
river, and when the steamer Rosa mado the
landtag they stepped aboard and were brought to
this city last evening.
Mr. DeMontmollin studied law in the office of
Messrs. Hartridge & Chisholm, on Drayton
street, and was admitted to the bar bat a few
months since
Mr. W. A. Kent, who is known to have been
dreadfully mutilated about the head and breast
by the negroes, is about 20 years of age, though
he looks much younger.
Mr. H?nry Slyer, supposed to be killed, was
about twenty-two or three years of age, and is
well known in this city. We forbear at present
making any further comment upon this tragic af
fair, of which wo hope soon to have fnll and re
liable particulars, as it will be promptly and
thoroughly investigated by tho authorities and
the friends of the murdered and missing men.
A deficiency in horse racks is the question
that at present vexes the serene souls of \he
Bainbridgers. ^
Hon. George D. Rice, formerly Jndge of the

We clip the following from the Athens Ban
ner, of Friday:
Synod of Georgia.—Tne regular meeting of
the Presbyterian Synod of Georgia met at the
Presbyterian Church in Athens on Wednesday
evening.
The opening sermon'was preached by Rev.
Dr. Wilson, of Atlanta. He reviewed the con
dition and prospects of the Chnrch, and urged
the great need of zealous labor in carrying for
ward the work of the Chnrch, and presented
some practical suggestions on the importance
of so modifying the present rigid educational
cnrricnlnm ns to permit young men to enter
npon ministerial work before completing their
full course.
The Rev. A. W. Clisby, of the Presbytery of
S&vannab, was elected Moderator, and Rev. I
ters, and not many of the representatives of
the churches.
The following ministers are present, besides
those above named: Rev. Prof. Fraser, Revs.
Jones, Newton, Oartledge, Simpson, Green,
Cleveland, Buttolph, Baker, Smith, McCormick,
Harrison, Nall, McKay, 'Goetchins, Lane, Dr.
Woodrow, Mr. Arson, and ono or two more who
came on the last train.
On Thursday morning the chief business done
was the appointment of standing committees.
In the afternoon one or two unimportant com
mittees reported. Last night Rev. Mr. Quigg,
of Covington, preached. . •
• 0. C. Reese is to be hung at Crawfordville
next Friday. It is so very seldom that a person
of this name comes to such an end, that we sup
pose there will be quite “a gathering” on the
occasion.
Some of the negroes of Forsyth amused them
selves, last Sunday, by throwing rooks ait the
passengers on the Maoon and Western np train
as it passed that place. We suppose their relig
ious feelings were shocked at such a violation
of the Sabbath as running trains on that day.
The Atlanta Era sneers “at the yonng man of
tho name of Rockafellow,” who, it announces,
is again in that city, and says perhaps he has
come back to s jttle up his board bills and other
little debts—which is very unkind, we think.
“Rooky” was a trewly loyl jewel of the purest
water until he clamored for his share of the
plunder. Then the Era man discovered he was
a bummer.
The Walton Citizen says:
A few days ago, Mrs. Woodall, of Gwinnett

the scene was over the flock laughed heartily
at the fact that their shepherd left without his
hat.
The Griffin Star, of yesterday says:

Death of Captain Bradford.—The death of
this young man, soh of ex-Govemor Bradford,

Attacked by Appoplexy.—Yesterday at 11 &.
at, as Mr. A. D. Brown, Sr., the well known
and esteemed inventor, was working at his lathe
in Goetchius’ Steam Planing Mill, he wa3 sud
denly stricken with an apoplectio fit, to which
ho is subject. He fell forward on the lathe,
catting his head in several places. For a time,
it was thought he was dead, and his family was
sent for. So strong were the convnlsions that
it took several negro men to carry him to the
express wagon in which ho was conveyed to his
residence, above the northern common. We
have not sinco heard from him. He is a broth

The DeMontmollin Affair—Further Par
ticulars in the Matter.—From Major Arthur,
commanding a detachment of United States
troops, which were dispatched on yesterday to
the scene of the recent troubles on the-DeMont-
mollin plantation to investigate the matter, we
learn that the difficulty was not of snch a serious
nature as was at first supposed.
It appears from the statement of the Major,
that tho negroes who did the shooting went to the
plantation armed with legal documents issued
from a negro justice in Blnffton, for the pur
pose of dispossessing Mr. DeMontmollin, and
meeting with resistance, fired upon the whites,
as stated yesterday, wounding them all. Mr.
DeMontmollin and Kent aro but slightly wound
ed. Mr. Slyer, however, is snpposed to be mor
tally injured.
The white gentlemen were convey to Blnffton,
and are now under arrest, in pursuance of pa
pers from tho negro magistrate-, and until their
release is effected, a coirect history of the mat
ter is hardly possible. •
The Southern Recorder says an alarming
epidemic has broken ont in that oity, which is

face supervene.”

fnl and relentless executioner of tho dee

Hia. visits, always unwelcome, are eomefca
peculiarly painful. When he enters our hx
