F.DITOKIAI. CORRESPONDENCE.
Finale of Fort Vnlloy Fnlr-Crop nml News
Heme Irani Southwest Georgia.
Outbuebt, August 14, 1871.
Let ns Uke up again the thread of events so
rudely severed in our last, by the arrival on the
scene at Fort Valley, of the shrieking locomo
tive, which, like “time and tides wait for no
man."
In the afternoon the laughable mule race,
like the “tub" contest of aquatic sportsmen,
came off, affording much amusement to the
crowd. Then followed the eagerly looked for
exhibition of lilliputian livo stock, yclept the
••baby show." About a dozen magnificent upoo-
jmena of mamma’s prodigies, fortified Tiftainst
colic we suppose, by tbo magic of Mrs. .Winslow,
their patron saint, and looking all innocence
sod dimples, sweetness and smiles, were pre
sented for tho prizes. We searched closely
for the wings of this chernbio band, thinking
they bad escaped from their elfin abode beyond
the ken of mortals. Brat no ; their pouting lips
and gleesome prattle, plainly evinced that thoy
were emanations of their glorious Hoavenly
Father, and as yet untouched and uncontam-
inatod by the stain of sin. Tho judges had a
difficult task to poifdrm, and in thoir award of
prizes to two of tho beauteous jnnoconts, of
course mortally offended the mothers of the
remaining ten. One of their numbor, a petit
and lovely lady, conld not exaetly contain her
indignation. A few words escaped from her
lips, which caused ns devoutly to bless our stars
that tee had not pronounoed against her peerless
babe. Look out for the Eu-klnz again in old
Houston. -
THE SUPPER.
After night-fall, in the spaoiona apartment
above the exhibition room, two long tables were
spread, and literally crowded with tempting
viands and every conceivable delicacy—many of
tho cakes wero splendidly decorated, and the
entertainment was most tastefully arranged. In
the large ball below, were assembled a brilliant
array of the beauty and fashion of this refined
portion of the State. Elegant toilets, flashing
eyes, flowing tresses, and .animated conversa
tion lit up the aoehe, and formed a tout ensem
ble, rarely surpassed in our most fashionable
cities. Certainly the/air of Fort Valley Fair,
at least, will challenge oompariBion with the
proudest boaulios of this or any other dime.
Thus ended this industrial exhibition which
was a perfect success, and will prove the fore
runner to many others in tho interior. No
surer or more rapid steps can be taken to dig
nify labor, and elevate the standard of agricul
ture in Georgia.
chops.
The rains have been copious and general
throughout the country, but tho cotton promise
in the judgment of the writer, is worse than it
has been st any previous stage of the season. On
the red lands, the forms and yonng fruit bnd
nearly all fallen off boforo tho rains, and the
plant had blossomed np to tho top. A new
growth of weed will now set in causing the bolls
already on the stalk to dwindle or stop growing,
while it is too late to mature another crop. The
cotton on gray and sandy soils looks better, but
has also lost much of its fruit, and is exceedingly
fnisll and irregular. Planters are greatly dis
heartened with the prospect
EDUCATIONAL.
tin Saturday last tho tax-psyers of this place,
by a vote of eighty to three, decided in favor
of imposing a corporation tax of $.">000 to so-
enre, if possible, tho location here of tho male
district school, about to be established by the
Methodist denomination. Two freo schools
also were opened to-day (for whites) under the
late law, presided over by Prof. MoNulty and
Mr. Murray, both gentlemen of experionoe and
the highest attainments.
Cuthbert is improving rapidly,and tho streets
are generally thronged with railroad officials
and employes.
Soon the work of locating and constructing
the Bainbridge, Cuthbert and Columbus Bail-
road will begin, and progress like magic in
the bands of the cnergetio contractors, Messrs,
Atkins, Tomlin and others. Any amount of
laborers stand ready to pitch in. J.
Letter from Indian Spring.
Indian Spjunos, August 13,1871.
Etlitcrs Telegraph and Ketsenger: If a suc
cessful attempt were made at describing tho
spot where the most superior water this side of
Saratoga is to be found, it would be an old sto
ry thrice told. Indian Spring and her healing
waters are as familiar to your readers ns scenes
in the history of Georgia which havo mado this
place memorable. While many are seeking
health and pleasure in places remote from our
glorious Empire Stnte, bonefitting those who
“would it they oould” guide and hurl the thun
derbolt* of heaven against her corner stoce that
she might only be remembered as once' the
home of nature's truest type of American chiv
alry, there have been almost a faithful three
hundred mindful of Georgia’s interest, who,
knowing the requisites so essential to snmmer
happiness, wero dispensed through the rock,
which the greatest combination of gasses, saline
and sulphurous ingredients pass through of any
in this country.
When the water fails to achieve a beneficial
change the virtues of tho exceUent fare nt tho
McIntosh House are weighed and nevor found
wanting. We have found though why there is
such a wanting for chickens, mutton, etc., in
your city. B. W. Collier, being Mayor of Mc
Intosh, (name given Indian Spring by Legisla
tive enactment of 18C6,) has appointed each of
his twelve boys, including George and “Ns-
tilas,” commissioners for districts between this
point and Central City, for the purpose of
“ooming” kleptomania on all innooent chickens
and sheep that rove through these parts uncon
scious of their nearness to the guillotine.
The suocess of their labors are shown to ap
preciative friends at every meal. Those of the
guests who can be induced to leave the enticing
dining hall have many opportunities of spending
the honra in various enchanting ways. Between
the McIntosh and Varner Houses, the latter
built by General McIntosh in the early part of
this oentory, is a large and well ventilated hall
used by the skating and terpsichorean amateurs.
Music discoursed by combined brass ami string
bands, for tho benefit of skaters, steals through
the many windows, and is wafted on the cool
refreshing breeze, always blowing here, to the
car* of the many married ladies who adorn the
• long galleries in front of the hotel with their
sweet faces, and neat and useful little work
baskets, while the “coming man and woman"
•re doing the honors to Terpsichore, and Major
Williams, Colonel Lockett, and about fifty other
widowers and old bachelors are stored away in
the Urge promenading hall on the first floor of
the McIntosh House, guarded from those
whom man owes all happiness by clouds
cigar smoke, playing that game Ah Sin did not
understand.
In front of tho Varner House is the celebrated
rock on which McIntosh stood when he informed
Jnnnssbogce and his fellow braves of tho con
cession made to the few “pale faces” then living
here, which ’tis well known caused hia untimely
death. It is said this rock, weighing probably
twenty-five tons, turns every time it hears a
chicken crow. The chickens here seldom live
to be large enough to use their voice as awam
over this phenomenon. So tho rock will re
main as it is till the waters dry up and the many
thousands who have been here at different times
will meet together.
About fifty yards below this historical place
is a large two story house, first floor furnished
with elegant bathing rooms supplied by water
from the spring about ten steps distant, on the
second floor are several Russian bagatelle ta
bles for the benefit of those who prefer playing
“ten pins” on an improved plan to the old style
practised across Sandy Creek at Elder’s bowl
ing alley.
There have been three new bridges bnilt
across tho streams that fiowaronnd the Spring,
oach ono erected wberelnnsbogee crossed with
his beautiful Katherine McIntosh, a short time
after he and his followers killed her father.
Their love and courtship form an interesting
romance for the Indian Spring Mirror's readers
—a neat paper published hero.
Those who have visited Indian Spring this
season havo been, if possible, more impressed
by the virtue' of tho water than ever before.
A gentleman who has visited the place regular
ly each year for the past twenty-five, says “the
water is belter now than when he first felt its
recuperating influence, though a recent analy
sis has proven it the same as that of 183!) when
analyzed by State Geologist Cotting.
Tbo residents of Butts county, expect to
have a narrow gauge railroad running within
two or three miles of the Spring before next
season. If completed it will place the water
which like salvation in free to all, so convenient
to health and pleasure seekers, that instead of
two hundred visitors, the number will, as it
abonld be, quadrupled. Stbanqeb.
Letter from Chalybeate Springs.
Chalybeate Speings, August 13, 1871.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Theso
Springs which seem to have att. acted a larger
number of health and pleasure seekers this
season than any in the State, aro delightfully,
located in a mountainous part of Meriwether
county, nml. those who desire to bo relieved
from dull times, warm weather, and a lack of
pleasure, can here find invigorating air,“shady
trees, and waters as clear nnd‘sparkling as that
with which the Indian Sagamoro slaked his
thirst in that far off time when “Naremetta,” a
maiden of the “Oherokees,” expired of grief
because her warrior lover proved untrue; tho
legend, (which I got from tho oldest inhabitant)
runs that finding herself deceived, she did noth
ing but lament her loss—her tears flowing in
cessantly. At tho expiration of ten years; think
ing dissolution about to take place, - she ex
pressed a wish that the “Great Spirit” would
i >erpetnato her memory as a warning to un-
I aithful lovers; so that none might suffer such
anguish as hers. Her prayer was 'undoubtedly
heard and answered, for no sooner was sho
buried, and while ihe echo of her “death
song” was yet lingering among tho hills, a trem
ulous motion of tho earth was felt, and near
where she had shed tears so longaqd copiously,
a rock openod and to this day sends forth a
stream, which, whatever may bo said of its oth
ers medicinal qualities is certainly an excellent
remedy for affections of the heart. For any
observer can daily see young and despairing
lovers leave the hotel with serious faces and
desponding hearts, but after wending their way
to the Spring and partaking of some of “Nare-
metta’s tears,” then wandering a short time in
the adjacent groves, they are sure to return
smiling and happy. There are some who insist
that tho solitude of the groves, and tho oppor
tunity for conversing away from the too watch
ful eyes of guardians are incentives to love and
devotion, but the oldest inhabitant tells me
that it is tho effect of the water.
Modem innovators, not satisfied with following
tho customs of the “rod man” and simply drink
ing at the fountain, have erected bathing houses
near the spring, and now offer suffering hu
manity an opportunity to immerse themselves
in its life and love-preserving waters; and it is
said by experienced persons that a few of these
baths ronder one perfectly fascinating. But its'
most extraordinary qualities are seen to the
best advantage in cutaneous disorders; its in
stantaneous effects upon the skin are truly as
tonishing. I can myself bear witness of this;
for standing near the spring one day I saw a
lady and gentleman approach; the lady was
young and a widow; the gentleman waswealthy
and a bachelor. With mineral spring etiquette
the gentleman offered her a cup of the elixir.
With half averted head and one of those “simple
nods and wordless smiles which woke a warmer
throb than if the beanty spoke,” tho fascinator
received and drank it. The gentleman mado a
whispered observation. The lady's face, before
unusually pale, suddenly become a oharming
crimson. Borne rivals of the widow were Ill-
natured enough to assert that it was the nature
of the gentleman’s remark which caused the
sudden flush, but the more intelligent aro satis
fied that it was solely tho effect of the water.
In addition to tho ordinary pastimes of riding,
bathing, walking nnd lovo-making, there is
skating and dancing. Last night there was a
grand masked ball at which several hundred
beautfcl ladies and gallant gentlemen indulged
in tho exhilarating pastime of treading the in
tricate labyrinths of tho “mazy.” Every pos
sible kind of character was assumed, except
one’s own, which dangerous experiment was
not attempted.
I regret very mnch that I was unable to learn
the names of the many fnir ones present, but
owing to tho nnusnal crowd I,with a numbor of
others, were compelled to witness tho enter
tainment through a window,
“Like outcast
And hang 'rou

There were fine ladies from Macon, fair belles
from Columbus, lovely angels from Savannah,
and, in short, thero were fine, fair, lovely, sweet;
bewitching creatures from all parts of the State
concentrated in ono delightful sea of gauzo;
and when tho entrancing music floated out upon
tho air thero was a billowy movement for an in
stant, and then tho angelic creatures assumed
a thousand graceful positions; elegant gentle
men responded in their best manner; hands
were claspod, glances exchanged; then a simul
taneous movement in all directions j then more
attitudes, more forward and backward, until the
ladies were tired and led to their seats, and
your correspondent sauntered to his cabin say

Fruit Trade in New Yobs.—The Commercial
Advertiser of Wednesday evening says :
The largest arrival of peaches daring the sea
son occurred to-day. Since daybreak thero have
been received no less than 192 car loads, and
8,500 crates by boat Yesterday’s arrivals
amounted to 141 car loads and 5,000 erntes by
boat, making a total in two days of 333 car
loads and 13,500 crates. The prices are quite
low, ranging from 80 cents to §1 50 per crate,
This fruit sells very readily, and this afternoon
there is not much left on hand. The capacity
for consumption seems to expand equal to the
supplies offering. The apple trade is very dull.
The large sale of peaches forestalls tho demand
for apples. The prices are from $1 50 to $2,
and the best $3 per barrel. Pears are at differ
ent prices, from r>0 cents to $5 per crate; good
Bartietts are worth from $3 50 to $4 per crate,
and from $S to $9 per barrel; ‘‘Duchess” and
“Sickles” from $2 to $2 50 per crate.
The mean depth of the North Atlantic Ocean,
which is stated by Maury to be 12,500 feet, has
been reduced by more elaborate soundings to
9.900, and it is probable, according to Keith
Johnson, Jr., the geographer, that this average
depth is greater than will be verified by future
measurement.
The Kev. Richard W ilkins, in a recent sermon
in the church of St. Michael, Swanmoro, stated I
his belief that there would be twelve women to
one man who would enter heaven. This, he
stated, was a calculation of his own, and was
based on sacramental confession.
OOXSUMPTION.
Its Cure and Its Preventive.
By J. HE. SOHENOK, M. D.
Vf ANY a human being has passed away, for whose
111 death thero was no other reason than the neglect
of known and indisputably proven means of oure.
Those near and dear to family and friends aro sleep
ing thodreamless slumber into which, had thoy calmly
adopted
DR. JOSEPH IV. SCHEXCK’S SIMPLE
TREATMENT,
and availed themselves of his wonderful efficacious
medicines, they would not have fallen. Dr. Schenck
has in bis own case prevod that wherever sufficient
vitality remains, that vitality, by his medicines and
his directions for their use. is quickened into health
ful \o-or.
In this statement there is nothing prosumptuous.
To tho faith of the invalid is mado no representation
that is not a thousand times substantiated by living
and visible works. Tho theory of tho cure by Dr.
dchenck’s medicines is as simple as it is unfailing,
ts philosophy requires no argument. It is eelf-
.:.-uxiug, self convincing.
The Beiiwood Tonic and Mandrake Tills aro tho first
two weapons with which tho citadel of the malady is
assailed. Two-thirds of tho case.* of consumption
originate in dvspoDtia. and a functionally disordered
liver. With this condition the bronchial tubes’’sym
pathize” with the stomach, They respond to the
morbifio action of the liver. Here then comes the
enlminating rcsult, and the setting in, with all its dis
tressing symptoms, of
CONSUMPTION.
ThoM&ndrake Pills are composed ot one of Nature’s
noblost gifts—the Podophillnm f eltatam. They pos
sess all tho blood-searching, altorativo properties of
calomel, bnt unlike calomel, they
“LEAVE NO STING BEHIND.”
The work of cure is now beginning. The vitiated
and mucous deposits in the bowels and in tho ali
mentary canal axe ejected. Theliver, like a clock, is
wound up. It arouses from its torpidity. The stom
ach acts responsively, and the patient begins to feel
that ho is setting, at last,
* ' A SUPPLY OF GOOD BLOOD.
Tho Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction with the Pills
permeates and assimilates with the food. Chylifica-
tion is now progressing without its previous tortures.
Digestion becomes painless, and the cure is Been to be
at hand. Th ere is no more flatulenco, no cxcerbatlon
of the stomach. An appetite setsin.
Now comes tbo greatest Blood Purifier evor yet
given by an indulgent father to suffering man.
Schcnck'a Pulmonic Syrup comes in to perform its
functions and to hasten and complete the euro, it
enters at onco upon its work. Naturo cannot bo
cheated. It collects and ripens the impaired and dis
eased portions of the Inn gs. In the lorm of gather
ings, it prepares them for expectoration, and lo 1 in a
very short time the malady is vanquished, the rotten
throno that it occupied is renovated ami mado new,
and tho patient, in all the dignity of regained vigor,
stops forth to enjoy the manhood or the womanhood
that was GIVEN UP AS LOST.
Tho second thing is, the patients must stay in a
warm room until they get well: it is almost Impossi
ble to prevent taking cold when tbe lungs are dis
eased, but it must bo prevented or r. cure cannot bo
effected. Fresh air and riding out, especially in this
section of tho country in tho fall and winter season,
are all wrong. Physicians who recommend that
course lose their patients, if thoir lungs aro badly
diseased, and yet, because they aro in tho house they
must not sit down quiet: they must walk r.bout tho
room as much and as fast as the strength will bear, to
got up a good circulation of blood. The patients
roust keep in good spirits—be determined to got well.
This has a great deal to do with tho appetito, and is
tho great point to gain. To d ispair of care after such
evidence of its possibility in the worst cases, and
moral certainty in allothers, is sinful. Dr.Schenck’s
personal statement to the Faculty of his own cure
was. in theso modest words:
“Many years ago I was in the last stages of con
sumption, confined to my bed. and at one time my
physicians thought that I could not live a week; then
liko a drowning man catching at straws, I heard of
and obtained tho preparations which I now offer to
tho public, and they made a perfect cure of mo. It
seemed to me that I could feel them penetrate my
wholo system. They soon ripened the matter in my
lungs, and I would spit up more than a pint of offen
sive yellow matter every morning for a long time.
As soon as that began to subside, my cough, fever,
pain and night sweats all began to leave me. and my
appetite became so great that it was with difficulty
-that I could keep from eating too mnch. I soon
gained my strength and have grown in flesh ever
since.”
“I was weighed shortly after my recovery,” added
the Doctor, “then looking liko a mere skeleton; my
weight was only ninety-seven pounds: my present
weight is two hundred and twenty-five (225) pounds,
and lor years I have enjoyed uninterrupted health.”
Dr. Seheack has discontinued his professional visits
to New York and Boston. Ho or his son. Dr. J.H.
Schenck, Jr., still continue to see patients at their
office. No. 15 North Sixth street, Philadelphia, every
ffaiurday from 9 A, st. to3r. st. Those who i
thorough examination with the Respirometer will be
charged J5. The Rospirometer declares the exact
condition of the lungs, and ratients can readily learn
whether they are curaole or not.
Tho directions fortakingthe medicines areadapted
to the intelligence even of a child. Follow these di
rections. and kind Nature will do the rest, excepting
that in some cases the Mandrake Pills are to be taken
in increased doses: the three medicines need no other
accompaniments than the ample instructions that ac
company them: First create appetite. Of returning
health hunger is the luostwelcome symptom. When
itozmei, as it will come, let the despairing at once
be of good cheer. Good blood at once foflows, the
cough loosens, the night sweat is abated. In a short
time bothofthese morbid symptoms are gone forever.
Dr. Sehcnck’s medicines are constantly kept intens
of thousands of families. As a laxative or purgative
the Mandrake Pills are a standard preparation ; while
the Pulmonic Syrup, as a curer of coughs and colds,
may be regarded as a prophylaoteric against con-
sumpt’on in any of its forms.

F OR the p»8t fortyyoars I have boon ongagod in
tho manufacture of Cotton Gina,-and liavo set
to work on plantations, and have eoen in operation
hundreds of Gins, and hive no hesitancy in pro
nouncing thia tho BEST WORKING GIN I over
saw. It runs light—gins fast—does not injure the
cotton—impossible to break tho roll—no use for
aelf-feodera—and no trouble to foed. The commit
tee at tho lato Bibb County Agricultural Fair, being
so well satisfied of its superiority over anything
they over saw, awarded me tho premium. I am
now prepared to furnish any ono in want of a Gin.
A sample of Excelsior and also of tho Griswold

We call attention to the following extract from a
letter from J. W. Burke, Esq.:
Macon, Ga., March 23,1871.
“We have had one of the U. S. Gaslight Comp*
ny’s Machines, in operation since the 10th of No
vember, 1870, and ii is perfectly satisfactory to ns
in its general working and cheapness. We paid the
Macon Gaslight Company for four months of last
year and the year previous—viz : November, De
cember, Januaiy and February—$399.5(1. In using
this Machine our ga9 for the four corresponding
months cost as $114—thus saving us in that time
$285.56. The light is quite as good as that of the
City Gas Company, and has the advantage of being
entirely under our contra! to use as we please.
During the severe weather in December it burned
without intermission, not being at all affected by
the freeze. We see no trouble in the Machine or
the light, and cheerfully recommend it.”
