Telegraph & Messenger FRIDAY MORNING. AUGUST 11, 1871. Fort Valley Fair. We trust that the Industrial Exhibition to iako place this day at the flourishing town of Fort Valley, will be largely attended by the eiitzens of Macon. A long list of premiums will bo awarded for almost every conceivable product of the soil, dairy, loom, kitchen, orchard, workshop and mechanic and fine arts. Even the “blessed ba bbles” will ha vo a showing. This deponent expects to be on hand and ex amine everything. If he could only summon by express or tele gram, a certain little golden-haired, blue-eyed, winsome cherub, tho smartest child in creation, and the prettiest too, he should be certain of securing at least one prize on this occasion. The increasing number and frequency of these agricultural fairs, and tho widespread in terest they engender in all that relates to the material progress of our people, afford the most cheering indications that Georgia will continue to maintain her prestige as the Empire State of tho South. Dospito the profligacy and extravagance of her rulers—tho oppression of tho Federal Con gress—tho reign of carpet-bagism—the full ex orcise of universal suffrago with all its balefnl influences, and tho ravages of the late bloody war, she is rapidly rising in hor majesty and pluming her wings for a loftier, nobler flight in tho future. God bless our gallant common wealth 1 JInyor IInil's Address. Tho IntenoBS of the hour will prevent any ex tended comment upon this interesting paper. Wo can only say that it is straightforward and manly in its tone, and our chief magistrate does not hesitate to look our financial difficulties squarely in tho face. Many of his suggestions aro excellent, and should bo carefully consid ered. Especially do we endorse the movement on foot to securo the revaluation of city prop erty, with a view to the correction of existing errors. If equality in taxation be a fundamental prin ciple, then a just and uniform scale of valuation is essential to tho maintenance of that equality. If this cannot bo obtained from interested own ers, tho only remedy is to take the matter out of tboir hands by the appointment of discreet assessors. Tho Mayor recommends a tax of 1 i per cent, upon nil proporty, so that the most of the city cnrroncy may be retirod at once, and the dobt of tho city paid off within two or three years. This is a consummation devoutly to be wished for, if not too onerous upon the holders of proporty. Wo see no impropriety in making postorify bear a portion of tho burdens created for tho prospective benefit of tho city. They will enjoy all tho advantages, and should help to pay for tho same. The address will be ex tensively read by our people. Ncttmlal In High Idle. Wo have no patienoe for the columns of gos sipping scandal which fill the New York papers, relating to alleged tiaaona of the ex-Empcror Napoleon. In the first place, the evidence is wnnting to substantiate all snch charges, and oven if tboy were true, tho press has certainly a higher mission to perform than to become the vohlclo of snch gross violations of chastity and tho marital relation. Sueh publications serve but to demoralize tho tone of society, and afford a quasi support to libertinism and licentious ness. For this reason, as well as the utter and diabolical falsity of tho report, we have refrained from reposting the railroad slandor against ex- Presidont Davis. Cannot tho life-long reputa tion, and grey hairs of an ostracised and unfor tunate patriot shield him from the shafts of calumny ? No anchorite, or hermit in his cave was over freer than he, from the very suspicion of tho crime impntod to him. Let ns not for get, howevor, that oven tho Saviour of mankind was slandered, spit upon, and reviled. The host and noblest of earth aro at the mercy of tho tradneer, if unsupported assertions and villainous fabrications aro to be received as gos pel. Let a tree bo jndgod by it fruits, and a man by the character he has uniformly sus tained, oven when assailed by the tongue of calumny, in tho absence of clear and indisputa ble proof to conviot. Who is safo if we act otherwise ? Putnam County.—Our friends in Putnam, os wo judgo from tho report of a correspondent in to-day’s paper, came near having a serious time at tho election last Monday. Somo of the disorderly negroes had made elaborate prepara tions for n fight, and nothing prevented a good deal of trouble lind mischief, but the firm de' mcanor of tho whites, and tho discovery by the black fighting phalanx, at tho pinch, that they had a good deal moro discretion than thoy sup posed. Wo aro very glad that tho storm blow over with so little damage, and the lesson of this election, ns well as of all others which have boen hold in Georgia since tho war, is briefly this: all snch bullying and turbulence must be met on tho instant with n cool, but indomitable resolution to maintain order and enforce law at all hazzarils. There is no moro oertain way to gel up a fight and bloodshed than to permit the idea that tho polls can be overran with impuni ty. Putnam saved herself from disorder and violonoo by showing her teoth to the bullies at right time. The Baxn'Buxdoe Ajious.—This sterling shoot so trao in its patriotism, politics, and morality, from tho improvements announced in another oohunn, will soon take rank with the best family newspapers in the South. Tho literary department will be ably con ducted, and an ample staff of efficient and ac complished editors, by their united efforts can not foil to ensure the success of the enterprise. Rev. Willis M. Russell is a practical and ex perienced writer, and enjoys the confidence and esteem of all who know him. Snch a paper is greatly noeded in Southwest Georgia, and we bespeak for it an abundant patronage. Let it bo a visitor to every family and hearth stone in that section of the State. Don't Aouee.—The London papers all say that the Prince of Wales and the Marquis of Lorn aro evidently not the best of friends; in fact, there is an undoubted split in the English royal family, in consequence of the eontnmeli ous treatment of the Marquis by his brother-in- law. The Marquis and his spirited spouse have stood aloof from the royal party at all the re cent state ceremonies and fetes. Cotton Estimate.—Our compositors made Norton, Slaughter & Oo.’s estimate of the oom- ing orop read 4,250,000 to 3,500,000 bales. It should have been three and a quarter to throe and a half millions. Cits Finance Er.rokts.—Some few errors having occurred in the nnmerous figures of this report, wo reprint it to-day in a supplement at tho order of tin- city authorities. Bibb County Taxadles.—Mr. Benson reports as the aggregate of Bibb county taxable values, $8,020,160—about a million dollars in excess of last year. A Stoi.en Watch.—The polioe want to find the owner of a watch which they believe to ,,ave been stolen. See advertisement. Under Federal Gnns. Now Orleans presented on Wednesday, ono of the most extraordinary spectacles over wit nessed in tho United States since Federal Bay onets have been formally introdneed into Amer ican politics. “Governor” Warmouth and “Lieut. Governor” Dunn, are both specimens of tho very worst development of Southern Radicalism, and, though elected on the same ticket, are at daggers’ drawn in their various schemes for plundering the unhappy tax-payers of Louisiana. Within the past month or two, it has been formally announced that the admin istration of Gen. Grant sides with Drum in this quarrel. A State Convention had been called to meet in New Orleans last Wednesday, and, aftera fierce contest between the factions, it was known that rival sets of delegates would contest for seats in this body, and much excitement and possible violence was feared. In this condition of affairs, it appears from tho press telegrams of yesterday that at an early hour two companies of United States Infantry took possession of the convention hall, and a large force of deputy United States Marshals guarded every entrance. Warmouth and his adherents, some eighty in number, were refused admission and organized ^n independent con vention in another hall, while Dunn and his crowd, supported by the military, the executive posse and the Federai office-holders, proceeded to organize their convention. The utter worthlessness of the parties con cerned precludes all personal interest in the fight; but this does not at all mitigate the des potic and lawless character of the proceeding. It will be claimed in extenuation that the Con vention Hall was government property and the government could not permit its safety to be hazarded. That would have been a good reason for refusing tho nso of the hall to the Conven tion ; but it certainly was no justification of the course of the Federal Government in taking possession of the Convention and practically determining the composition and action of the body. According to law and tho decision of Grant’s administration itself, the maintenance of peace and public order devolved in this case npon the Executive of Louisiana, (Warmouth,) and not until he had called for Federal interpo sition could the United States authorities have constitutionally interposed to put down riot or insnrreotion. There is, in fact, nothing to justify or palli ate this extraordinary proceeding upon the part of Grant’s administration. It is as naked and inexcusable an outrage npon popular rights—as andacions an attempt to control politics in the personal interest of the President, through the forces of the government—as if tho same thing had been done to a Radical or Democratic State Convention in New York, Pennsylvania or Ohio. The negro Pinchback (these fellows do have uncommon and characteristic names) exclaimed, “ Is it possible we are to bo put down by tho government we have sustained ? If that be the case, the sooner this government is torn down and a monarchy is bnilt npon its rains tho bet ter.” Pinchback, like a good many others, could feel an act of tyranny only when it hurt himself. Let no white man be as blind and fool ish as that. Tyranny is bound to make every body its victim in torn, unless be be of the slimy mass who breed like maggots in the fes tering depths of corruption. But even these sometimes fail to wriggle and squirm out of the crashing grasp of tyranny ; while time at last is sure to make every man by tarns the victim of tyranny. The simpleton who exults over its slaughter of bis enemies to-day may in a year see the picture reversed and groan for the amnsement of his enemies, just as Pinchback, Wannonth & Co. are now doing in Louisiana, There is no security for anybody, bnt in the maintenance of law and justice. We wonder if the people of the United States will not be startled at this performance of Grant’s government in Lonisiana, and begin to talk about the propriety of calling a halt in the downward maroh to a military despotism ? Mr. Hill Explains His Alninni Ad dress. This gentlemen sends a communication to the Atlanta Constitution, of Wednesday, demurring to the numerous adverse criticisms made by ed itorial and other writers upon his late address bofore tho society of the Alnmni at Athens. As it will be published entire, as spoken, he thinks an ordinary sense of justice would suggest the propriety of waiting until then, before attack ing him, as no report, however honest, can bo accepted as a proper standard for judging, much loss criticising a written literary address. Ha takes occasion, however, to explain the ad dress in this letter, and winds np with asking a suspension of jadgment until the address is read as published by tho society. We give him the benefit of the following ex tract from his letter : Therefore, to qniet the nerves of some, and prevent the prejudices sought to be created in advance of its publication, allow me space to say, that the address does not underrate South ern civilization in tho production of an elegant select society, and of the most superior indi vidualism in the field and in the cabinet. It does not allude, either directly or indirectly, to politics, nor political parties, old or new. It does not aUnde to slavery as a moral question, or a question of property, nor is there one word in it which can by possibility be construed as even donbting “our glorious right to carry slaves to Kansas.” Well knowing the great number of “noble minds” engaged in the great work of saving “Southern rights,” and seeing the unparalleled success which has attended their wise counsels and well directed efforts in this field hither to, I thought I could be spared to enquire whether we could not strengthen Southern rights with a little Southern power in the way of developing onr natural physical resources through the means of scientific schools and ed ucated industries. That which I sought to typify under the classical figures of Prometheus bound and unbound, and at whose release I was disposed to give thanks, was not the negro, bnt Southern genius! After reading which we are pretty snre all will agree with ns that Mr. Hill has certainly not spared himself, for if any “noble mind” has more furiously engaged in the great work of “saving Sonthern rights”—vide “Notes on the Situation”—than his, we would like exceedingly to hear whose it is. If Mr. Hill wonld condo scend to take the advice of our humble self in regard to making any more speeches, or writ ing any more explanatory letters, at least for the present, we would sum it up in Punch’s celebrated connsel to a correspondent matrimo- nally inclined: Don’t. To Medical Students —Read the advertise ment of the University of Lonisiana. Located in the great city of New Orleans with free ac cess to the Charity Hospital, and ample oppor tunity to study and treat every description of disease at the bedside of the sick, and thns ac quire practical experience whilst learning the theory of medicine,surely the ambitions student coaid desire no better advantages in the profes sion of his choice. The reputation of the faculty is second to none at tho South. Included in their number is Prof. Joseph Jones, who is well known in the medical and literary circles of onr State. There is no longer a necesity for onr young men to go North to perfect their education; when such rare 'Opportunities may be enjoyed Thouble Among the Moemoxs.—A Salt Lake City dispatch says a Mormon first wife has pro. cured the indictment of her husband in the United States District Court, for adnlteryjwith his other alleged wife or wives. This is proba bly the beginning of a regular judicial onslaught on Mormon polygamy, and will make no small amount of fuss and excitement. THE GEtmUIA IMCKK'i. There is a report going tho rounds of onr State exchanges, that J. W. O’Neal, the scala wag Judge, so-called, of the Alapaha circuit, has recently deceased from wounds received in a series of desperate encounters with William Patterson. A man named Ben Constant made his appear ance at the City Hall, Augusta, last Wednesday with “one eye entirely closed, the other badly bloodied and his nostrils torn open,” the result of whatthe Chronicle calls “a lively skirmish.” What a regular battle means, down there, the Chronicle don’t tell us. CoL A. F. Rudler, a well known citizen of Angnsta, died at Hot Springs, Arkansas, last Monday. He was the friend and companion-in- arms of Walker, the noted filibuster, and was captured and sentenced to be shot when Walker was exeented. Friends in this country inter fered, however, and saved his life. Seventy shares of Central Railroad stock were sold at Savannah, on Wednesday, at $117 per share. The Savannah river, at Augusta, is very low, and boats are compelled to unload freight and passengers in order to get over the bar and reach the city. . There were 18 deaths in Savannah, for the week ending August 7th. The local of the Savannah News has been staffing himself with new sweet potatoes, and is rather disposed to put on airs thereat. The Savannah Historical Society have just had published 500 copies of Richard Henry Wede’s matchless poem’ “My Life is Like the Summer Rose,” four hundred of which will be sold at $1.50 and $1.00, each respectively. Cave Spring, Social Circle, Washington, and West Point were made money order offices on the 1st instant. Dr. Samuel H. Higgins, of Baltimore, has been called to the charge of the LaGrange Presbyterian church. The increase of taxable property in Muscogee county over last year is $2G5,3G3, and the in crease in capital invested in the manufacture of cotton is $70,000. The grocery store of Thomas L. Carter, cor ner of Price and Broughton streets, Savannah, was entered and robbed, on Wednesday night, of articles valued at over $100. The papers say these raids are getting bolder and more frequent every day. The Savannah Republican, of Wednesday, has the following account of the doings of a negro mob at Darien. Isn’t it about time these trewly loyl Ku-klnx were summarily stamped up ? Can’t Bullock find time to look into the matter? Says the Republican: We are indebted to Capt. John Irvine, of the British bark Graco, now lying in the port of Darien, for the following statement of facts The bark left Now York about the 5th of June last, in ballast, bound for Tybee or Doboy, and from thence, after taking in a cargo of timber, to a port in the United Kingdom, and had a crew of eight articled colored seamen, with a firet and second mate, who were both white. She arrived at Doboy about the first ultimo. On the 4th alt. five of said colored seamen refused to do duty, and also refused to proceed on tho voyage; whereupon the captain, in discharge of his duty, had the sailors placed in jail, when tho Ordinary of McIntosh county, a colored man, upon petition of the sailors, issued a man damus requiring them to appear before him for a hearing, which took place the same day at the court house. After listening to Capt. Irvine’s testimony, who presented, in connection with it, the articles of his bark in evidence, first making oath that the same were the articles, and that the certificate and signature and seal of the Consul General thereto affixed were genuine, he having seen said consul write his name and affix the seal, the court refused the articles in evidence, and discharged the five seamen. A short time afterward Tunis G. Campbell, a colored justice of the peace, issued a subprena for. the three remain ing colored sailors, and brought them from Doboy to Darien, a distance of twenty miles. Immediately upon their arrival at the latter place, they also refused to proceed on the voy age. Captain Irvine then had them placed in jail, the bark being at this time ready for sea, with a cargo of timber. They were at once dis charged from prison at the instance of said Campbell, who drew a petition for habeas cor pus, the case coming before the Ordinary al ready mentioned. Immediately after Campbell issued an attachment against Captain Irvine for seamen’s wages, in a sum far exceeding the jurisdiction of this conrt. In short, the pro ceedings in this instance were illegal from the start, the illegality appearing on the face of tho papers—the said Campbell, for instance, having an interest in the snm of $44 for court costs, and issned the attachment returnable to his conrt to rendor jadgment thereon. Two other executions, one at the instance of the Ordinary and the other at the instance of Campbell, were also levied on the bark. In all these cases the proper affidavits and bonds were tendered to re lease the Grace, bnt they were ref used, the officers saying that the cash must bo paid. Subsequently five armed negroes, styled custodians of the ves sel, were placed on board the bark. One of them demanded water of Captain Irvine from a cask which he had provided for his journey to Eu rope. Upon the Captain refusing to give the individual water from that cask. Captain Irvine was arrested by two of the custodians, without a warrant, and brought to Darien under arms, and dragged about by the collar. He was taken beforo said Campbell, and npon asking Camp bell why ho (tho captain) was arrested without a warrant, Campbell answered that he (the cap tain) was arrested by his (Campbell’s) order. Since which time the captain was arrested on two bail writs, ono for seamen’s wages, in the respective sums of $140 and the other for $13,- 000, for false imprisonment of said seamen. Captain Irvine gave bonds in the snm of $280 and of $25,000. We may state here that the bail writ is forbidden by the Constitution of the State of Georgia. The captain was next arrested under a possessory warrant for seamen’s bag gage, and was required to pay costs, amounting to $17 SO. A bill of injunction to prevent further pro ceedings at law against the captain, and a bill of mandamus commanding the said Camp bell and officers to release the bark forthwith, and not to interfere further with her, was grant ed by the Hon. Wm. M. Sessions, Judge of the Superior Court of ihe Brunswick circuit, and the injunction and mandamus were served on said Campbell and others accordingly; also a warrant for the arrest of said eight seaman, all of which proceedings np to Monday evening last were disobeyed, the sheriff, a colored man, having the warrant in his possession since it was issued, bnt failing to execute the same. Armed negroes were seen in groups on the streets of Darien on Monday night lost, and wore supposed to be a posse to prevent the sheriff from making arrests of the seamen. Capt. Irvine left Darien on Monday night by the steamer San Antonio to seek relief at the hands of the proper authorities in Savannah. It is apprehended, however, that, considering all the aggravating circumstances in connection with his treatment and that of his bark, that bloodshed may be the finale to the outrageous conduct of the Darien negro officials. Dr. D. C. O’Keefe,of Atlanta, one of the most prominent citizens and physicians of that place, died at Gainesville, on Wednesday. The Constitution, of yesterday, has the fol lowing: Paedoxed—Dr. S. B. Icnes, convicted of rape at the October term of Fulton Superior Court, and sentenced to the penitentiary for 20 years, received yesterday from Gov. Bnilock a full pardon. The petition for his pardon was signed by many citizens. The miscegenation cases lately tried at At lanta resulted in the conviction of all the par ties, and the following sentences: William Hobbs to pay the sum' $1,000, or be imprisoned in the common jail of the county for the term of six months to be computed from date. Martha Johnson, Hobbs’ colored para- moor, to pay a fine of $250, or three months on the public works. Willis Harris, colored, con victed of fornication with a white woman, to pay a fine of $250, or six months on the public works. Mary Harris, Willis’ white paramour, to pay a fine of $1,000, or six months on the public works. Owen George, colored preacher convicted of illegally marrying a white man to a colored woman, to pay a fine of $50, or ten days on the public works. An attempt was made to muider R. M. Hack ney, Marshal of Newnan, last Saturday night. Four caps wero snapped at him as ho sat in the porch of his house. Mrs. Dr. J. S. Lavender, of Barnesville, pre sented her husband with three “well springs 'of pleasure” on the Gth. Two male and one fe male. The Barnesville Gazette says the farmers in that section have gathered an unusual crop of fine fodder the past week. The Hawkinaville Dispatch man had better keep away from Perry hereafter. He says if ted bugs were selling at 25 cents a quart, that town would prosper amazingly. Time! Water- an. The Dispatch says: Some time recently an exciting revival was progressing in one of the negro ohurches in this place when a female member of the con gregation raised her voice to the highest pitch, • ‘Calline! Hold my shawl and bonnet till I beat my sides and shout Glory! Glory!” and the last heard of the infinitely happy creature she was shooting and sobbing in heart-broken tones. The Gwinnett Atlas thus reports of crops in that county: The wheat and oat crop has been almost en tirely a failure. Mr. H. R. Hannah was the only gentleman, with whom we conversed, who reported anything like a good crop of wheat. Nine-tenths of those we talked to, stated that they would not more than get their seed back; while some did not cut a single acre, being satis fied it would not pay for the cutting. This is the most complete failure in wheat made for many years. We will have to look to Atlanta and enterprising mills in onr county, for most of the flour used. In the upper part of the county com and cotton aro looking poorly. In fact, Rockbridge district is the only section that is not suffering for rain. Without extraordinary seasons we cannot estimate the corn orop at more than one-half of the usual yield. Cotton is looking tolerably well, though suffering for rain. What Pbussia’s Viotoby has Cost her Peo ple.—The following extract from a German paper, the Volkszeitung, shows the reverse of the picture whose bright side was seen at Ber lin, on the occasion of the triumphal entry of the German army in that city: “The war has not only interrupted work, but has destroyed thousands of plaoes of work. The four million thalers which are to be spent for the assistance of those who have suffered loss are as a drop on a stone, whioh, hissipg, drops on to it and in an instant disappears in smoke. Thousands of men of the landwehr and reserve return to their homes crowned with victory and covered with wreaths, but they find their dwell ings destitute, their wives in want, their chil dren neglected, their workshops destroyed, their customers dispersed, their oredit shaken and the want of their manufacture lessened, Their rent is still due, which has accumulated for a year. New tools have been bought, which their wives in times of distress have either pawned or sold. Materials have to be laid in in stock, to. enable them, in case of an order being given, to begin work. Repairs and clothes are necessary. The bakers, butchers and re tailers have got to be paid. If work is not be gun at once the cry of distress will soon be as distinctly heard as the echo of rejoicing. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS TO RENT.

MASSEY’S PATENT EXCELSIOR COTTON GIN F OR the past forty years I have been engaged in the manufacture of Cotton Gins, and have set to work on plantations, and have seen in operation hundreds of Gins, and have no hesitancy in pro nouncing this the BEST WORKING GIN I ever saw. It runs light—gins fast—does not injure the cotton—impossible to break the roll—no use for self-feeders—and no trouble to feed. The commit tee at tho late Bibb County Agricultural Fair, being so well satisfied of its superiority over anything they over saw, awarded me the premium. I am now prepared to furnish any one in want of a Gin. A sample of Excelsior and also of the Griswold Gin can be seen at Cailiart & Curd’s Hardware Store, Macon, Ga. Send fordesepriptive list. ' O.
