The Georgia State Fair for 1871 will open in
Maeon, Monday, October 23d, and close on the
Friday following. Ertraordinary preparations
in in progress to make this Fair the most ex
tensive popular Induatrial Exposition which
has ever been witnessed in the Southern States.
To moot all the newspapor requirement* of

UtBdsrx will, during the days of the ox-
posiSon, inane an edition to be called the Tzix-

telegraphic and mail news—full reports of the
progress of the fair—lists of exhibitors and ex
hibits, speeches and reports delivered on the
oocasion—and very full descriptions of all the
trials of speed and prowess by land and water.
In the size of this sheet and of it* editions, it
will meet every requirement of the vast crowd
of citizen* of Georgia and strangers from all
parts of the Sonlh and the country, who will
gather hero at that time. The opportunity for
business publicity it will afford to hairiness men
in Macon and every other part of the country,
North and Booth, will be very groat. Wo will

Is no exaggeration in tbo accounts of the woods

N*w Obleaks Cotton Kzrnrrs — Wo see by
the Now Orleans Times, of Thursday last, that
the cotton receipts of that port from August
31at to Wednesday night, were 26,51.9 bales,
against 58,fit7 for the same time last year,
allowing a falling off of .",0,078 bales.
Public Stzaliso.—One of the most evident
as well as most gratifying signs of Ibe times, is
the growing popular detestation for official
thieving. Tlio people begin to see that it mast
be stopped, and public sentiment is going to atop
it. Of lalo years it lias been assumed as a mat
ter of course, that every custodian of public
money wonlil filch Feme of it, bnt hereafter that
easy assumption will not be tolerated.
Cnicioo lias always been a dry place for nn
derwrtlers. The New York and II art foul com-
panics show by their books from 18fi3toI870
inclusive, 3,010 fires in Chicago, tlio losses on
which were $15,fit 2,.7)2, and the premiums on
the risks taken thereon amounted, for the same
time, to 911,624,439. The great fires last week
add heavily la the balance against tbo compan
ies. Rural risks, we think, will hereafter be
loss unpopular with the companies.
Coicaoo Insubxnck.—New York dispatches
foot all insurance risks on Cbieago properly
aliont furty millions, front which 20 per cent,
salvage will lie deducted. Liverpool Company
risks are $4,500,000. The Hartford risks amount
to $18,000,000. The Cleveland companies have
three millions, and sro broken. The stock
holders, however, hnve subscribed $2,000,000
and will commence anew. Somo of the Cbieago
companies will pay out. No great amount of
the risks will bo dishonored.
A New I>zrxnTraE.—The first time we ever
beard of Mr. Greeley with nny thing bnt an “old
white hat" is to-day. Wo read it in tbo Snn of
Wednesday. Mr. Greeley hud been summoned
to meet the Murphy end ConklingRadical Slate
Committee in secret session at 5 th Avenuo Hotel,
to ace on what terms the hatchet coaid be bnried.
Greeley proposed that each wing should choose
one umpire and the two choose a third whose
decision slionid lie final. This proposition after
much debate was rejected, and therefore, saya

IIcrnino it the Ground.—In Minnesota the
prairie fire liaa hunted through the earth ia
aomo places to the depth of five feet. Fort
Aberootnhie narrowly escaped destruction. The
fire was discovered making its way toward the
fort with wonderful rapidity, and the entire
garrison was ordered out, and, armed with
blankets, the men fought it off, and saved the
buildings, hay and woisl. Thero wore 900 tona

The Fayetteville Presbyterian addresses a
solemn talk to the North Carolina whites, which
that excellent paper, tbo Wilmington Journal,
copies and introduces to its leaders with words
of commendation. The Presbyterian «nll» npon
the North Carolinians to cease the vain straggle
to redress their grievances and wrongs by vio
lence—the only result of which ia to prolong
and aggravate them. The Presbyterian say a that
while many of the Kn-klnx charges an false and
the parties nnder arrest and trial an innocent,
“some of them must be guilty,” and what loea
of time and money do these miserable crimes
and trials involve! Wbat hatred and exasper
ation do they breed ? Allow that every possible
provocation to these violences was given, still,
aeka the Presbyterian, "ia it not nobler, braver
■ n d wiser to endure wrong patiently, than to
repay malioe with malice, and blow with blow 7”
These violences and trials are sowing the drag
on’s teeth of discord, revenge and hatred, im
pairing the security of life and property, filling
the jails with innocent victims and overwhelm
ing the impoverished State with disorder and
dee pair. Such ia the inevitable result of Lynch
law in all its forma.
The Georgia Legulatare.
As the time draws nigh for the meeting of
the Georgia Legislature the solicitude and anx
iety of the people increases, that the next see-
Mon shall worthily illustrate the State of Geor
gia and the Democratic petty thereof by “Wis
dom, Justice and Moderation.” Then, for the
first time, with perhaps a alight intermission, in
six years, the people of Georgia will resume to
some extent the control of their own affairs
after such abase and malversation as has excited
the warmest indignation of the tax payers.
In ordinary cases when the out* come in after
a long and rigorous exclusion from power and
place, they nn liable to injure themselves by
baste and immoderation ; bnt in thia ease the
temptation and danger become mnch greater by
the magnitude of the pnblic disorders which
have arisen since the people were ousted from
all control of pnblic affairs. Under these cir
cumstance* the suggestions of cantion and pru
dence will be more than usually unwelcome, and
violent counsels find n more ready response.
Tho necessity of self-restraint becomes all the
more imperative as the difficulty of exercising
it increases; and these facts inspire much ap
prehension that the very effort* to remedy the
pnblic wrongs may be bo ill-considered and in
judicious as in the end to aggravate them.
Georgia, and all the so-called reconstructed
States, are only nominally in the Union out of the
mere political necessities of the Radicals to pnt
them there, and wa think we do no injnstioe to
the “Republican party” in saying that it wonld
not be sorry for an apology to place every South'
era Democratic Slate again under the direct
surveillance of tbo Federal Government and
throw ont its voto in the next electoral college.
Bnt it is not so mnch on the gxonnd of any
danger from thia source that onr Legislature
should move with great care, as it is from con
siderations of self-protection at home. No
greater political misfortune can befall ns than
any serious division among onr white popula
tion. Goorgia is in better condition than her
sister Southern Stales, simply because her
whito population ia so large, and has, in tho
main, n.ainlained nnily and co-operation. This
bus been tho groat breakwater against tbo lido
of {r,lilies! corruption and demoralization
wbicb ban morn completely overwhelmed tbo
other States; and if it is removed, tho State
will Lecomo virtually tho defenceless prey of a
negro balance of power, controlled by tbo most
unscrupulous partizana.
Now, harmony among tho whites of Goorgia
cannot bo maintained on any extreme or violent
policy. That will necessarily breed schism and
discord at once. This assertion needs no argu
ment—it is self-evident; and its plain lesson is
that tl.o men who are in tho van must not get too
far ahead of the rear. There mast be compro
mise and conciliation in the counsels of the
party. No important step most be taken with
out the general content and approbation. No
pet trheme of “advanced men” can compensate
the terrible disaster of a serious dieision among
the white votes of Qforgot.
Therefore, wo raise in advance tbo earnest
entreaty tor a wise, generous and conciliatory
policy on the part of all men who aspire to bo
Democratic loaders in tbo next General Assem
bly . Lot nothing indneo yon lo hazard the
peril of a permanent breach of parly harmony,
for this will strip you and tbo State alike of all
dofunces—present and future. It will open
wido the Hood-gates of fraud in the Legislative
chambers — fraud in tbo ballot, and general
and almost incurable pnblic demoralization.
Ho is no statesman who will not ace that this is
the grand peril banging over onr political fn
tnre, and sbapo bis conrso with a primary view
to avert it.
Boo to it. then, that no important step is taken
except after a thorough sifting of the ground
and a general agroement among tho Democratic
members as to its propriety and necessity,
it is impeachment, bo snro that it is demanded
alike by justice, the pnblic welfare, and the
judgment of the requisite majority. If it be the
abrogation of the State lease, be snre that the
lease was fraudulently granted and the State
will certainly be benefited by its forfeitnre.
And so of every other measure proposed or in
agitation. Let all yonr action rest npon the
solid foundations of integrity and a sound pnb
lic and party policy. Abjure cliqnes, factions
and rings. Inspire and uphold a high standard
of economy, integrity and patriotism. Shnn

of political thieves and prostitntes. Be jealons,
lest the record of the first Democratic Legisla
ture of Georgia, since reconstruction, shall be

tations. Let the peoplo see that with the polit
ical revolution comes political regeneration. If
Ilia Legislature will act wisely, honestly nnd pa.
triotically, the political character of Georgia

LxvaapooL, London and Globs Insurance
Comtani.—There was a statement in the press
telegrams yesterdty that the looses of the Liv
erpool, London and Globe Iaanrance Company
in Chioago aggregate $6,000,000. This if true,
wonld still leave them a capital of $14,000,000.
Bnt it ia a mistake. We have seen letters from
Mr. Pell, the President of the company in New
York, which reaffirms the declaration of Gen.
Johnaton, the Georgia agent, made in our last

cago do not exoeed the turn of $2,000,000, and

We pity the men, women and children of the
Democratic districts of South Carolina, from
the bottom of onr beart. They have drank deep
of the bitter cop of negro domination and Rad
ical robbery and oppression, bnt the moat nan-

mined to remit them to tho horrors of martial

abond negro is to send to the penitentiary any
number of Ibo most respectable white citizens
of a county npon whom he may desire to wreak
bis spite. He may be a bog thief or corn thief,
whose rogueries have brought his back to gnef
from a stont cowskin, well laid on—where the
Radical law and its administrators wonld not

lombia, just what was witnessed at Raleigh,
with perhaps a deeper tone added to tho fearful
picture on zcoonnt of the victims being citizens
of a State which has been so peculiarly the ob
ject of Radical hate.
Well, we snppoee our poor neighbors across
the Savannah river will have to grin and bear it,
for the present, bat they have memories and
will not forget when the time comes for paying
off the score. It wtB come some day. The mom
ater called Radicalism will not always rale and
ravage the country. Four years more, at best, is
all that it can count npon, and then comes de
feat and retribution. Its crimes have been, and
promise yet to be, of proportions too monstron*
for comparison, bnt there never yet was an ini
quity for whieh there did not exist, Bomewhere
in time’s hiding plaoes, a proportionate punish
ment. The white men of Sooth Carolina are
soon to be given over to the tender mercies of
handenff and bayonet rale, to be dragged from
their homes, and their liberties sworn away by
the malignant wretches whose lice have moved
a wicked administration to the genial work of
persecution, bnt all this is bat for a season.
These horrors must pass away aid light come
again, sometime.
Let the white men of the doomed districts,
therefore, bear themselves like men, remem
bering the loins from which they sprang, and
the fate of the Tories who harried their fathers.
Toryism, propped by British bayonets, once
ruled supreme in the section where Grant seeks
to prop Radicalism by Federal bayonets, bnt
the gaUant Whigs bided their time, and stamped
it ont. So snre as God is just the men of Spar
tanburg, Cluster, Laurens and Marion will, if
faithful, live to see Radicalism encounter a like
or worse end. They know, as the country
knows, that thia persecution by the Radical
government ia wholly withont excuse, save what
is fennd in the miserable needs and demands of
partisanship. This ia the rock npon which the;

Corisci|ncn«-et» of tlio Chicago Dinas
fer In a LTuancinl I’oint or View.
In time of excitement over any gTeat disas
trous event there ia always a tendency to exag
geration as to Ibe Ioaa or consequences. It ia
so, doubtless, now in the case of the Chioago
fire, and wc hope the generally estimated loss
may be greatly exaggerated. Dreadfnl enongh
are the losses by this calamity withont over
estimating them. Though we have no reliable
data to base a calculation npon, we may by
comparison approximate tbe truth. Nor do we
know yet—if, indeed, we ever shall know—how
many precious lives were lost. The disaster has
been so overwhelming and tbe destrnction of
property so grest that tbs sacrifice of banian
life has not been ihonght of as much as it wonld
havo been nnder other circumstances. In fact,
it mnst be said with regret that generally human
life is regarded with more indifference than
property. Bat onr object just now is to look
at the consequence of the fire in a financial
point of view.
Tbo loss of propeity has been variously esti
mated. Some have made it amount to $300,-
000,000. Almost all havo regarded it aa a hun
dred millions at least We have not before ns
a reliable estimate of tho taxable or asseESed
value of property in Chicago at the time of the
fire, bnt it is said that the total valuation in
1870 was about $275,000,000. Thia, of oonrse,
included land as well as buildings and personal
properly. Admitting an increase of twenty-five
millions since tbe valuation was made—and
that wonld bo very large—the total valno
wonld bo three hundred millions. Brooklyn
has n fourth larger population than Chicago,
yet tbe taxable valne of property there amounted
to leas than two hundred and fifty millions. The
assessed valnation of Chicago mnst have been
mnch leas. Allowing that the fnll marketable
value is mnch greater than the assessed or tax
able valne, we atilt think that the estimate of
three hundred millions ia Urge enough for
Chicago jnst before the fire, including land and
personal property aa well aa buildings. Tbe
bnildings might have been worth twioe as mnch
as the land, if we allow thirty millions for per
sonal property nnd ninety millions for the Und
thero would bo left for buildings a hundred and
eighty millions—that is, estimating the total
valnation at three hundred millions.
The Und, of comae, is not destroyed. Sup
posing, then, that one-fourth of the whole
propeity in bnildings and personal effects has
been destroyed, the total loss -would amount to
fifty-five millions. Should we inelnde in thia
estimate of personal effects the merchandise in
the stores that was consumed, and say the value
of that was twenty millions, this wonld only
raise the snm for all losses to seventy-five mil
lions. We are disposed to believe as, indeed,
we hope, that the loss will not erased this snm,
and it may be mnch less. Still that is a vast
amount.—llerald, 121A

Beauregard—It a nils me, sir. I favor it as
the nearest and beat road to Democratic success.
It meets my views as being progressive. I am
tired of living only for defeat on obsolete dead
issues. The Democratic party must place itself
in the van of progress if it wonld bo victorious.
Let the past go. We want something more than
traditions. We must be in sj mpatby with the
progressive age we live in. Tho Domocratie

accept toe situation and take a front rank in
this age or progress.
Times—How do toe people of toe South re
gard toe “new departure” of the Democracy 7
Beanregard—As far as I have been able to
observe tbey are willing to accept and endorse
it. Tbey are williog to accept anything that
will insure them from military despotism, and
military despotism we enrol; will have if Grant
socoeeds in being re-elected.
Times—Whom do yon consider the first choice
of toe South for President 7
Beanregard (hesitating)—I can hardly say.
For my own part I prefer General Hancock, as

October 10,1871. {
On next Monday, tha lGth inst, the Halls and
Rooms at Central City Fork will all bo ready for tbe
reception of any and a'l articles designed for exhi
bition at the approaching State Fair, and if the
quantity and qoality of tbe contributions are at all
in proportion to toe rooms which have been pre
pared for toeir display, the exposition must and will
be a grand one. And will Macon be satisfied to
stop with the most beantif at Park, and toe finest
Exhibition Halls in tbe Bonto? In this particular
we are fimebed and complete Bnt it is one thing
to build and arrange .for a Fair, whilo it is quite
another to fill np and properly utilize too space to
profit and advantage. If thework shop, machinci]
halls, store booses, studios and parlors of our Ma
con people atone, are made to contribute as liber?
ally to tola enterpriso as they should do, we will
proeent a display alike creditable to Macon and tbe
Bute. Especially should this bo too case in regard
to too many fine paintings and other rare specimens
of art and tsste owned and abolished by toe ladies
and gentlemen of Macon Lot overvthiog of inter
est and merit bo brought ont. It is only too well
known that two of tbe moat interesting Fair* over
held in Georgia wore toe direct result of extraor
dinary, wide awake, energetic local effort. Rut
nothing can be done withont too pride, the writ and
the work. Let everything, from the pet bird and
flower, to tho atoam engine, bo brought out There
is scarcely a boy orgirl in Macon, periie,»>, but who
could contribute something thm wuitUt interest
some other boy or girl, sud so in regard to oveiy
individual.
Premiums are offered for almost everything, and
where a neglect or oversight has occurred a r-itua-
ble reward will attach to any article of merit which
may be exhibited. The merchant, the manufac
turer, the artist, all can be benefitted by an adver
tisement growing out of an expose of their busi
ness at toe Georgia State Fair. No better adver
tisement can be nttle. To toe ladies I appeal,
with trust and confidence, that tbey will make Flo
ral Hall what it dute.ves to be on the morning of
tbe 23d instant—a picture and a charm. Mncb time
and money lisa been spent in preparing tlie grounds
and taRldags, now let ns oomplete the work by pre
senting the largest and finest display eror made on
aaxndaroccisioo. Let Ibe nuut beautiful rod in
teresting portion of every man's business and <
lady's parlor be moTed down to tbe Fork lor one
week, and there be placed in competition with
whatever may come from abroad, and it will afford
na a week of rare interest and recreation, and in
thna pleasing onr guests we mhaU compensate our
selves.
The following ladies are kindly requested to meet
at the Fork on next Tuesday evening, toe 17th in
stant, to act as a committee to superintend the ar
rangement of snch articles aa may be cent to Flo
ral Hail for exhibition. Without seme system and
concert of action on tbe part of toe ladies, this, toe
most interesting feature of a’l Fairs, will fail with
ua to be a success.
The ladies of Macon cm and win make this the
grandest exhibition of fine arts, taste and beauty
ever seen in toe State Those of the following
committee, who cannot attend, will pleaae inrite
toeir fiienda to represent them daring the week, ms
may be most convenient. There is left to ns but
one week in which to accomplish thia great work.
