Bon, from the plantation of Mr. B. F. Ivey, in
Baker. It classed as New York middlings and
weighed 400 pounds, and was sold to W. L.

Murder.—Mr. John Joiner, of Dooly county,
was murdered on Thursday night last, at his
residence in that county, by a man named A.
0. Devereanx. The murderer escaped. A des
cription of him will bo found in an advertise
ment of this morning’s paper. A liberal reward
is offered for his apprehension.
In Town Again.—We were startled for a mo
ment last night, by an unexpected call from that
precious little pjnk of the Savannah Morning
News, J. C. Harris. He is ont on a general ram
page through the State, bnt seems to havo a spe
cial hankering after Macon. He was here some
month or two since, and his visit was followed
by a drouth of unusual severity, and there is
no telling what he will leave in his wake this
time. We shall look for the worst if the best
oomes of it. He will be on exhibition at the
Brown Honse for a day or two.
Macon Street Railroad.—President Hazlo-
hnrst has returned from the North—having pro

essarv for the early completion of this road.
Bills havo been given ont for stringers, cross"
ties, and the horses have been ordered bonght
in Kentucky. Everything is being done to have
the road ready by the 1st to 10th of October
next. It will be seen that a second installment
on the subscription has been called for. It is
important that ail should pay np promptly that
tho directors may not bo embarrassed in the
work.
The Eatonton Kiot.—The negro George
Samuels, who instigated the negro riot at Eaton
ton last Tuesday, was captured in Greene connty
on Wednesday night, and duly installed in jail
in Eatonton on Thursday morning. He was
pretty well sprinkled with buck shot—a fact
going to show that he took a prominent part in
the affray. We learn that George made tho first
move toward going for the arms, and also that
ho fired the first shot. The negro who was re
ported os seriously wounded, is dead. It is
thought ho was accidently shot by the negro
rioters, as he was a well disposed negro, and was
not engaged in tho row. Fifteen or sixteen ne
groes wore wounded, but nono others seriously.

Made his Mare.—A young friend just re
turned from tho Chalybeate Springs reports
that nearly three hnndrod guests are now
there and still they continue to arrive daily.
After speaking in almost frantic enthusiasm of
the beanty and fascinations of a certain Miss
0., of North Georgia, who, he says, is certainly
the “prettiest girl in tho State," wo got him to
talk “business" a little. He says John Black,
of the Eufanla News, made his mark while at
the Springs, and that the cabin he occupied is
now known to guests and labeled as tho “Milk
Pouch Cabin." If the local editor of the Mont
gomery Advertiser is to be believed, Black made
his mark at the Springs in another and more
forcible manner. Scrows says there was a heavy
haul made on the stock of crockery at the
Springs during Black's visit, and in corrobora
tion of this statement, it appears that soon after
his return home he advertised a lot of mixed
crockery ware for sale. We thought when he
passed through this city that he had an unusually
large and hoavy lot of baggage for a local ed
itor, ont on a trip of health and pleasure, and
we heard him tell a porter at the Brown Honse
to handle his baggage carefully, as it all con
tained more or less glass in the shape of phials
of medicine. Wo don’t know that he carried
off anything from tho Brown Honse, for all the
crockery of that establishment is labeled, and
it would get him into another dose place if he
offered it for sale; bnt we do know that he car
ried away dead loads of good things to cat. He
got enongh to hibernate upon.
Maeshalltille, Ga., Angnst 11,1871.
Mr. Local: Being on a visit to your city,
had an occasion to take a stroll from the Spots
wood Hotel to Dr. Everett’s, or Fourth and
Oglethorpe streets, I could bnt admire that por
tion of your boantifal city. It is certainly one
of the prettiest streets in Macon. It is so well
adapted to the building of the street railroad,
on which, I think, [if the Board of Directors
would extend or commence their road at Ogle
thorpe street, it would be the best paying por
tion of the road. I also learn that the health
of this portion of the city compares favorably
with the balance of the city, which I see from
a comparison with the health of the cities in the
United States that Macon stands second. When,
that portion of the city was first settled np
was considered sickly, bnt since the building
the railroad shops, and the burning of so much
lightwood in the locomotives, that the health
has much improved. Another cause of the im
provement is the washing of sand into those
little branches running in the lower portion
your city..

Fort Valley Agricultural ami Industrial
Exhibition.
Fort Yallet. August 11, 1871.
In fertility of soil and the extent and valno
of its productions, Houston has long claimed
to be the banner connty of Georgia—nor has
the exhibition of to-day impaired her right to
that proud designation. At an early honr the
population of the connty came pouring in, many
of them bringing their contributions to the
Fair. Soon the grounds about the old Metho
dist church, which had been converted into an
Industrial Hall for the occasion, presented an
animated appearance, and the bnilding itself
rapidly filled with viators.
We were glad to note a goodly representation
present of the merchants, capitalists, ware
house men, and mechanics of Macon.
The exhibition, (the first of the kind ever at
tempted in this county,) was highly creditable
to all concerned. The display of fruits, veget
ables, smeetm6ats, pickles, jellies, paintings,
seeds, fancy-work, and implements of husband
ry far exceeded our expectations. As the award
of the judges will not be made known until the
close of the day, we must be content with a
bare allusion to some of the articles on exhibi
tion.
FETJIT8.
Mrs. Samnel Hall showed magnificent speci
mens of the genuine Bartlett pear, of unusual
size, ripe, juicy and delicious. We havo never
seen them surpassed even in the restaurants of
Broadway, New York. Of peaches, too, some of
the Tinley variety, presented by Mrs. Vinson,
were the largest and most inviting we have ever
seen. Apples, grapes, melons, and luscious
looking blue figs, also tempted tho appetite of
tho visitors.
vegetables.
These were restricted to tomatoes, egg plants,
beets, oabbages, Irish and sweet potatoes, beans,
and winter sq cashes. Some of Mrs. Hall’s cab
bages, for size and solidity, wonld rival those of
any market. We saw one egg plant or guinea
squash, which measured nearly two feet in cir
cumference, and must have weighed eight or
ten pounds. Very fine specimens of new sweet
potatoes also were to be seen.
needle wore.
Beantifnlly embroidered garments of various
patterns, qnilts of elegant patohwork, and a va
riety of other articles rendered this department
very attractive in appearance. One raised quilt
by Mrs. Branham, was greatly admired for the
brilliancy of its colors, and the imiqne charac
ter of the patches. Years must have been con
sumed in Us fabrication.
SWEETMEATS AND PICKLES.
Of these there was a very large and tempting
display, embracing every kind of jelly, marme-
Iedo, preserves, catsnp, etc. We noticed partic
ularly a watermelon preserved whole and flanked
by carved specimens of the same fruit, artisti
cally arrayed. This was the handiwork of Miss
Florence Brown.
HOME MANUFACTURES.
Under this bead we are constrained to men
tion a very fino and tasUly woven piece of
striped jeans, from the loom of Mrs. Maddox,
which in quality and texture could not be ex
celled by any of the mills of New England. Tho
color was decided and chaste, and the fabric
such as wonld better become a “true bine”
Southern bridegroom, than the finest broad
cloth of Parisian impoitation. One pair of cot-
ton socks, knitted with cotton which had been
separated by hand from the seed, and fashioned
by an-old lady aged aevonty-fivo years, claimed
much attention from their superior uniformity
and smoothness. We most not forget to men
tion that a tempting tray containing plates of
light bisenit, cake, fried chicken, and apple
jelly, all prepared in the nicest manner, was
shown as the exclusive work of Ida Wiggins, a
child bnt eight years old. What a jewel of a
wifo and house keeper will tins pretty maid
make to so some fortunate swain horeafter!
DOMESTIC WINES.
Of these there were several varieties, all pure
and delicious, including blackberry, scupper-
nong, catnwba and apple. The latter we had
□ever seen before, and can testify that the taste
and boquet of this now beverage are indeed de
lightful. It was prepared by Miss Hollingshead-
OTHER ARTICLES.
Time will not allow ns to dwell npon the
beantifnl paintings, and specimens of fancy
work, (inclndicg an exquisite flower stand of
gothio design, also fashioned by the fair fingers
of Miss Hollingshead) which were arranged on
every side. We saw also gigantio stalks of com
having ciff/ti ears, luxuriant bunches of growing
tobacco, specimens of indigenous and foreign
varieties of grapes raised in this region, samples
of seed wheat, oats, and rye, and quite a variety
of improved plows, wheelbarrows, and other
implements of industry, all apparently of the
best description.
Bnt the sotrni of the car whistle admonishes
me to cat short incontinently, these harried
notes.
The Fair was eminently a success, and re
flects great credit npon onr Houston friends.
In closing permit me to say*tfcat the mantle
of their father has certainly fallen npon the
shoulders of the sons and tho elder Byington,
who have charge of the hotel at this place.
Everything that a reasonable gnest can desire is
famished to him, and the cuisine and attend
ance are unexceptionable. Long may they live
to cater to an appreciating public. J.

tion, and bring United States troops there for

to-day Lord Redsdale questioned the right of
tho United States to maintain its demand of in
demnity for damages caused by the Alabama,
now that tho American Government had grant
ed amnesty to the late rebels. Reconciliation

rometer has fallen on tho Gulf coast, and rain
is again reported from Louisiana to Florida and
North Carolina. The pressure has varied bnt
little on the middle and east Atlantio where
clear and hazy weather has prevailed with south
east and easterly winds.
Probabilities: Clear and warm weather will
probably be experienced on Saturday from Mis
souri to Lake Huron and westward. Low ba
rometer with cloudy weather will probably con
tinue from Louisiana to Virginia and eastward.
Low barometer with cloudy weather and local
storms will probably extend daring the after
noon over New York and New England.
