Arriving at Eoetmaa Park it was found
that despite the threatening appearance
of rain thousands had braved it, and
ware there packed in dense masses, in
positions that would enable them to wit
ness the maneuvers of the visitors. That
they were amply repaid for any tempor
ary discomfort, was manifested in the
hearty interest that they took in the
drill, the like of whioh. it bad never been
theirlot to witness before. Booh perfect
motions, made with a olock-like regular
ity, and the finished perfection that ohar-
saterixsd each movement undertaken,
has never* before been displayed in this
oity, and would be difficult Indeed to ex
cel. In the manual of arms the move
ments were as one, while in the more
difficult movements of loading and firing
in the different positions of kneeling
and lying, the obltqueiag of fours eud
all tbe hard and intricate movements
known In the tactics, were performed
with an ease and precision that was
marvelous. Numeroas and loud were
the well merited cheers that greeted
each movement of the drill, amounting
at the finish to a perfeot ovation.
It is very pleasant to note incidents
like the above, whioh furnish the sil
ver lining to the Maok oloud of fanaticism
and hatred to the South, which, with the
advent of Grant from his travels oan bo
seen looming up from the western hori
zon. All honor to the men of the North
who oan shako off the shaokles of preju
dice, and render justice and kindness to
their Souths n brethren. Such instan
ce* should be recorded in letters of brass
that they may never be forgotten.

Albant Adverliter: Harry J. Ryan,
the insurance sharper, of whom promi
nent mention is mode in another column,
succeeded in making his escape from tho
Sheriff of Mitchell county, lost night.
Ryan wa3 bronght up to Camilla from
Savannah yesterday morning, bat, on ac
count of the absenoe of witnesses, bis
trial wee postponed until Thursday next.
There being no jail in Camilla, Sheriff
DeGraffienreid started oaths accommoda
tion train yesterday evening to bring-the
prisoner to Albany for safe-keeping nmil
the time arrived for hii trio).
Ryan waa extremely jovial and tolka
tive along the way, and appeared 'o be
very little eonoerned about his oondition.
Just after dork, and when the train was
within about half a mils of the city, Ryan
went into the water closet, dosing the
door behind him. Mr DeGraffenreid
went to the window nearest the oloeet
and stuok hie head out, thinking that if
hie prisoner attempted to esoape he would
be in reaoh of him and oonld oatah hire.
There’x where he made the mistake.
Instead of jumping through tbe side
window as Mr. DeGraffenried thought he
wonld, in the event he undertook to ea-
oape at all, Ryan raised the end window
and drew him* If gently out on tbe plat
form. After awhile the sheriff thought
of the end window, and went to see about
it, but the bird had flown. The train
w&3 running at the rate of about eighteen
milea an hour, and the sheriff leaped out
into the dark only to turn a doable som
ersault, and find himself completely be-
wildered. He didn’t know whioh way to
start, and could not have started very
fast if he had.
Sheriff DeGraffenreid, who is a faith
ful and moat excellent officer, says he
never was so badly sold out before in bis
life.

Timothy, 4th chapter and a portion of tbe
8th verse: “but godliness is profitable
onto all things, having promise of tbe
life that now is, and of that which is to
oome.
She burden of the sermon was the levs
of God for His creatures, as manifested
in tbe gift of his own son to ransom it
fallen world, and the duty and obligation
ot all mankind to obey and serve their
Creator. Bat ws took no notes, and do
pot propose to give any outline whatever
of tbe speaker’ argument. It is enough
to say that it was eminently simple and
conclusive.
Thera is. ap-earnest piety, vigor and
logical comprehensiveness abont the ut
terances of Dr, Warren, occasionally rl-
sing even into genuine eloquenoe, which
oann.t fail to make a lasting impression
npon the intelligent hearer. He feels
that the man before him reflects in his
own person and life the truth and reality
of the precepts and maxims he so faith
fully seeks to delineate, and is prepared
to accept without questioning all that he
sayv. This is the secret of his great pow
er iu the pulpit, and the vast influence
which Dr. Warren has ever exerted as a
pastor upon every community in which
he has officiated.
The people arc won by his piety and
gentleness,and convinced and subdued by
tbe unmistakable zeal and earnestness
this faithful ambassador of God. It
a matter of sinoere congratulation to all
trne believers that Dr. Warren, reaouno-
iug the emoluments and commanding
position of a numeroas and wealthy
charge, has consented to respond to the
appeals of those he onoe eerved so faith
fully and loved so devotedly in his own
native Georgia. By God’s blessing hiB
return to Macoo, we trust, will bo signal
ized by great good'to the entire comma'
nity.
The Doctor, in oloaing, alluded feel
ingly to the lsst scenes iu the life ot the
deceased, and announced that ha had
sought and obtained the pardon and for
giveness of his Father—God- “Let me
die the death of the righteous, and let
my last end be like his,”
After the ohoir had sung the soul
stirring hymn “I would not live alway,"
the coffin was tenderly borne ont, and,
under tne solemn escort of the Msaonio
fraternity, followed by a long cavaloade
of private carriages, taken to Rose Hill
cemetery and there, with all the im
posing rites and oeremonies of the order,

Subsidy to th* Noxth Gxoboia Stock
Association.—It is currently reported
that the subscription of Messrs. Huff A
Brown, the proprietors of the Markham
House, to the North Georgia Stock Asso
ciation, was little less than black mail on
the part of the managers of that concern.
The firm had only been in operation a
few days, and one of its members was the
Mayor of Maoon and the champion of
that city before the Btate Agricultural
Convention, which met last spring In
Hawkinsvitle, when the question of the
location of the State Fair was being dis
cussed.
Mayor Huff denies the statement, how
ever, end says the contribution of $250
by the proprietors or the Markham to the
North Georgia Association, was purely a
voluntary offering. Moreover, that had
his partner and himself reflated a mo
ment, they would not have givtna oent
to continue tbo fair in Atlanta through
•the present week. We Rive Mr. Huff
the benefit of this’statement, bnt it
i fu W‘latAi\Q<Ufi. -magi*,
lemma,though as a quasi oitizsn of Atlan
ta now doing business there, we would
not have blamed him in tho toast had he
given $10,000 to the Atlanta fair, pro
vided he had stipulated that the amount
should be expended for the furtherance
of the normal exposition, which had been
extensively advertised by circulars and
in the press, to open on the 20th instant
and close on the 25th. But it is stated
by an Atlanta contemporary that the
amount given was for the speoido pur
pose of gstting up a race on Wednesday
of this week, the very time appointed
for the unveiling ot the Confederate
monument, whioh has been erected at
such infinite labor and pains by the la
dies of the Memorial Association.
We blame Mr. Huff for this,
has been stated he headed a
delegation to the Agricultural Con
vention at Hawkin8viito, sent for the
purpose of urging the claims of My^ n
to tbe permanent location of tbo State
Fair at Central City pork, and aw-mta
have known that the continuation of tho
Atlanta exhibition for another week
must, If a success, operate disastrously to
our city, and State Agricultural Associa
tion, of whioh ho had been the accredited
representative. Why did h9 not stipu
late that the sum donated should bo
devoted to tbe races whioh were to come
off on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of
last week?
We have no desire to do Hr. Huff any
injustice, and will gladly print any ex

The State Fair.
A visit to Central City Park to-day, de
pile tbe steadily falling rain, revealed a
busy soene in every department.
Aoontinuoos procession of drays and
wagons, laden with contributions repre
senting all tbe industrial interests of the
common wealth,kept pouring in, and were
quickly relieved of their oonte&ts by the
erowd of experts who were engaged in
classifying, arranging and ptoeing in po
sition the numerous artistes.
The spacious halls were rapidly filling
np with choioe contributions from the
field, garden, orchard, looms, machine
shops, and mercantile guilds of the
country. The stock pens, stables and
poultry ocops on tho grounds were »l«o
recsiving hourly additions, and already
contained a larger display than was ever
collected at any previous expos!-
siou. Every thing points to a
grand exhibition of tbe varied industries
of tbe State, and if Providence will but
vouchsafe propitious weather the num
ber of visitors will be unprecedented. It
is too early to partionlarize, but it ia ssfe
to say that the present exhibition will be
by far tbo most complete and extensive
that ever illustrated Georgia.
