Telegraph State Bulletin.
The Georgia State Fair for 1871 will open in
Macon, Monday, October 23d, and dose on the
Friday following. Extraordinary preparations
are in progress to make this Fair the most ex-
tensive and popular Industrial Exposition which
has ever been witnessed in the Southern States.
To meet all the newspaper requirements of
so important an occasion, the Imosmt asd
Mmsctom will, during the days of the ex-
position, issue an edition to be called tho Tzrx-
onara State Fam Bcixtiw, giving the latest
telegraphic and mail news—fnll reports of the
progress of the fair-lists of exhibitors and ex
hibits, speeches and reports delivered on the
occasion—and very full descriptions of all the
trials of speed and prowess by land and water.
In tho size of this sheet and of its editions, it
wilt meet every requirement of the vast crowd
of citizens of Georgia and stranger* from all
parts of tho South and tho country, who will
gather here at that time. The opportunity for
business publicity it will afford to business men
in Maeon and every other part of the country,
North and South, will ho very gnat. Wo will
publish advertisements in this paper for the
toJiofe period of the Exposition at the rate of two
dollars an ineh, allowing a discount of twenty to
thirty per cent, npon advertisements longer than
aix inches, in proportion to length. Advertise
ments inserted onoe will be charged one dollar
per inch in length. Clibbt, Joses A Reese.
News Hems.
Waum Weathek.—Tho temperature ou Sun
day and Monday, was eighty and above—nn
usually warm for the season.
CnicAno was visited by a hurricane ou Suudsy
which prostrated burnt walls and blew tbo fire
brands about furiously, but fortunately a heavy
rain had fallen jirt previously and no further
damage was done.
Tuz first trial l>y jury in Romo occurred on
the 13lh ult., and was of a woman for larceny
of diamonds. Tho trial lasted two days—the
jury wero out sixteen minutes and returned a
verdict of guilty.
Shot and Hugo.—The men caught plunder-
log in Chicago and shot and imng on the spot,
were Barney AaroD, Win. Tracey, Jack Daley,
James Monday, Dutch Heinrich and Geo. Bulls,
all notorious New York rowdies.
The Euie Relief Train ran from Now York
toBoffalo, 122 miles, in 12 hours and 23 min-
ntea—thirty-four milon an hour, stoppages in
cluded. Actual miles per hone :!8.(!5. The
train contained 11,0«a) packages, valued at up
ward* of $100,000.
New York Finances.—The tax lists in New
Y'orkthis year foot up 411,613,012 against $11,-
283,076 last year, alien tho taxes bad to bo kept
up in order to meet a hcrilago of floating debt
left by tiio Republican party. Upon Ibis re
duced rovenno tlio canal has lieen kept iu much
lietter repair aud a largely increased incouio
has accrued from it upon reduced tolls. What
ever may bo charged to Tammany thieving,
tho Doiuocratio administration of tho Stale
finances has displayed marked vigor and
economy.
Santo Domingo Again.—Tho New York Tri
bune announces tbo rovival of tbo San Do
mingo annexation schcnio again in full force
aud virtue. Well informed circles report that
tho treaty of annexation will be submitted to
Congress early in the session, shorn of all do
mand for appropriations. “Private persons
and corporations'' have agreed to pay off the
debt of the republic, which is regarded as
amounting to a million and a half of dollara.
A heavy speculation, and a large ring doubtless
nndorliea this movement.
Disraeli UroN Tint Queen.—Tho London
correspondence of tho World reports Mr. Diva
elU's words in relation to tho Qncen precisely
as telegraphed, and charges the Gladstone press
and ministry with |a guilty knowledge that they
are administering tho government in the name
of a monarch who is no longer capable of author
izing their acts. This speech was made by Mr.
D. at a harvest festival, at a luncheon, in the
presence of a large number of people, and on
the occasion of a toast proposed by bim to the
health of Her Majesty. Tho words were tele
graphed to London and producod a panic there.
How the Wooden Pavements Stood tde
Test.—A Chicago dispatch mentions as a no-
Uoeable fact and one of immense importance
in the rebuilding of Ibe city, the almost perfect
eondition in which tho fire has left tho Nichol
son pavement. Tho damage is so trifling as
not to be worthy of mention. Miles of pave
ment on the north side are almost nnscorched
and perfectly free of debris, and even in the
south division where both sides of the street
were lined with lofty brick and alone buildings,
there is aeareely a point where a carriage may
not be driven Ihrongb the streets. Indeed, ex
cept where tho buildings were blown up, or
partially blown np in the endeavor to atop the
progress of the flimes, tho ruins have almost
invariably fallen npon their own sites. At
points where the pavements wero burned at ail,
the fire only charred on the outside, and it is a
question whether the process to which they were
subjected will not add to thoir durability.
Unlcckt.—Theodore Thomas' famous or
chestral troupo was to have opened Crosby’s
Open House, at Chicago, Monday night, the
SHh insk—the night after tbo great liro, and
every seat had been taken. The opera bouse
had been refitted at a cost of $S0,000. The
troupe arrived Sunday and were stopping at the
Sherman House. They lost all their baggage,
instruments and valuable music. Thomas him
self bad a narrow escape from losing his life.
While endeavoring to save some valuable pa
per* from bis room, bis retreat by the southern
atairway was cut off, and not knowing which
direction to go, ho was wandering about the
halls in the heat and smoke until rescued by a
fireman who had been on tho roof of tho build
ing. That evening was also to witness Mrs.
Gen. Lander's first performance at Ilooley'a
Opera Honse. The poor women lost all her
baggage, including her valuable wardrobe and
diamonds. Mr. Ilooley, who boarded with his
family, at tha Briggs, also lost everything, with
the exception of a change of wearing apparel
for the children.

telegrams make the following exhibit:

provided with a special car for tho colored peo
ple, as comfortable as any car in the train: and
there was not the first reason for a fast in this
case, except a disposition on the part of the
negress in question to bo ill-mannered and ob
trusive. Where whites and blacks ate nearly
equal in numbers, and the climate is warm,
it is not agreeable to tbo former to ride in cars
crowded promiscuously by the population at
Urge. The scent is a little overpowering, and
aside from what the Tribune calls “prejudice of
color,” the arrangement would bo impractica
ble, notwithstanding tho civil rights bill. Tbo
colored peoplo compose a very small minority
in New York, and occasionally may bo seen in
the street cars, bat very rarely in the omnibuses.
The cases are not parallel. There can l>e no
fairer plan than that which has been adopted in
Georgia—separate can of equal comfort, con-
venienee and cleanliness, from which intrusion
by either color, respectively, U impartially
maintained.
The No Candidate Scheme.—Wo print to
day a new and startling proposition from the
St. Louis Republican—to whip General Grant
with an opposition Radical candidate. It is
not a new plan of contest in a desperate emer
gency. Everybody has beard of “fgluing the
dezil with fire”—and the Republican’s argu
ment U to show that this is better than being
whipped. Doubtless it would be confuting to
the sable birds and birds of prey *ho now rule
the roost in ths Southern States. Doubtless
they would flutter and croak. Feradventnre
the whites of the South, who now suffer under
ban of proscription on account of “color, race
and previous condition," could find greater
favor with an administration they helped to
elect, than in one elected in spite of them.
Doubtless such an administration, compelled
to look to tho Southern whites for support,
could well afford to dispense with martial law
aud all the other contrivances for putting the
whites under feet cf the blacks. Fersdventure,
that stroke, if successful, would be a more ef
fectual death-blow to all tbo negro supremacy
schemes than even the election of an Avowed
Democrat, who wonld only ooneentrato against
himself a compact Radical opposition majority
in Congross. I’eradventure, in all the ends of
deliverance and liberty the South could profit
moro by a thorough rnptnro of the Radical
party, than she possibly could do, undor existing
circumstances, by the mere defeat of Grant.
But the proposition is impracticable in point
of fact. Many will not recognizo the necessity
of it, and moro will insist on a square dofeat
with a straight out candidate than in tbo kind
of victory suggested by tbo Republican.
THE GEORGIA 1'ItE.VV.
Macon seems to be entirely out of the frost
belt. Athena had a killing visit, last Thursday,
and on the same day Bainbridge was similarly
honored.
The annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Southeastern Railway will be held at A then",
to-morrow. A president, vice Major Campbell
Wallace, will be elected, and the route from
Athena to tho point of intersection with the Air
Line Road seleeted. The distance from Athens
to tho nearest point on that road is 37 miles.
Mr. B. E. Russell has retired from the Bain-
bridge Son, and in connection wiih Mr. W. C.
Jones will hereafter conduct the Argus, which
is to be a semi-weekly instead of a weekly issue,
as at present.
At the election last December for Represen
tative in the Legislature from Haralson county,
there waa a tie between the Democratic and
Radical candidates, but at an election held last
week, Jeff Head, Democrat, beat Hutchinson,
Radical, 47 votes.
Mr. Joseph Roberts, one of the most vener
able and esteemed residents of Brunswick, died
last Wednesday night
Mr. Warren A. Fuller was crowned with Al-
dermanic honors at Brunswick last Taesday, by
217 votes to 133 for M. L. Mershon.
The Columbus Enquirer, of Sunday, mikes
this centre shot:
The papers in the South that have been ag
itating against the “new departure” profess to
believe that the results of the late Northern
elections, and what they call the refusal of the
Now York Democrats to “depart” have killed
the movement Very well. And now good
policy—inseparable from common sense—re
quires that Huy should “dry up.”
CoL Avery, of the Atlanta Constitution, who
was down here last week to inspect our Fair
Grounds, was immensely pleased. Hear him:
I have been delighted with tbe new Fair
Gronnds here. Macon has surpassed herself in
tbe beautiful creation she so suddenly and mag
ically evoked into existence.
FUNERAL INVITATION.
The friends at d acquaintances of Mr. John Xo
Eeszue are invited to attend hie funeral from hie
late teeidence in Keet Macon THU (Toesday)
MOUSING at 1U o'clock.
Times Violent.
Affairs do not move with tho equanimity thoy
used to maintain “whon you and I wero boys
togothcr.” Tho burning, drowning, storming,
flooding, stealing, raining, lighting, i^vinilling,
drinking, earthquaking, volcanoing, tidal wav
ing, swearing, freezing and murdering, aro all
moro violent and cruel than thoy used to bo.
When wo wero boys, a case of murder in the
papers would sot our gramlwotliors to rubbing
their spectacles and reading and sighing l>y tbe
hour together. If a child wrs burnt in a house,
or a family drowned in u freshet, or a stage up
set down an embankment, it waa food for mol
sru'bolly talk for a fortnight. But look at
things now I Tho Telegeai'U has had little
other bnsineBs for the past ten years than to
tell of awful violences by flood and field. Ita
record is a long catalogue of death and destruc
tion by wholesale. Daring Ibis dccado wo have
hid violent and bloody doatbs by the million—of
whole regions laid waste fcy liro and sword—
great cities given to tho flames—wliolo countries
devastated.
But this, you will ssy, was Ibe fate of war.
The operations of nature, however, seem to have
sympathised with tbo violence of men. What
frightful earthquakes—what furious storms and
tempests—wbat desolating floods have swept
over tho earth with a frequency and destruotive-
ness unparalleled in provions history. The
newspaper scarcely escapes a day, without some
fierce and gloomy record of this sort in some
quarter of tbe world. And without reprehensi
ble human agency what storms of fire and de
struction have been sweeping: the groat West
(or tbe post fortnight I Tbo telegrams of to-day
report these fires growing worse, and say that
1,200 victims have perished in the flames. Then
in tho far East, terrible floods and storms are
reported on the China coast, overflowing 10,000
square miles of the country. These are tbe
days of wrath and violence. The fury of man
began tbo work and now it seems to be carried
on by tbe angry forces of nature. We plead
for a little more gentleness all round. Ten years
of Radicalism pervading the whole political, so
cial and natural world ought to bo enough. Let
ns have peace.

Now, bow grandly these a till further illustrate
the floating power of India cotton I Observe
that the stock excess over last year is shown by
these figures to be 217,030 bales; and 313,3S4

not quite so rampant in its huoyanoy there

But India never falters—she never lacks. No

Then it is wonderful with what steadiness and

The Ku-klux proclamation to-day turns out to

when it should bo enforced, and that acooonts

WHOLESALE ARRESTS.
A prominent minister of the Gospel, and also
a leading Republican, stated to-day that the ar

Yon enter a gateway something like that of
Oglethorpe Park, in Atlanta, and as you enter
you have a beautiful view of tbe grounds. No
description that I have seen does justice to the
splendid arrangement. , In front of the gate, on
the inside, is a half mile park enclosed, swarded
and with a rare forest of trees. On the left, the
river meanders, the natural boundary of the
gronnds. On the sides and on the opposite
point of tbo park, which has a broad drive
around it, tbe building are erected*, all visible,
all fronting the park, and exquisitely and artis
tically arranged. Tbe whole scene, park, forest,
drives, winding river and tho fringe of ornate
buildings of various sizes, colors and adorn

tho finest natural lovlinoss, the most perfect
taste, and the most thorough art are superbly
blended.

Tire Fntc of Chicago Inccniilnrles.
A correspondent of one of the New York
papers who waa in Chicago tbe day after the
fire, relates the following story concerning the
fate of two incendiaries whose punishment came
under his own observation. He says:
Being eanght in the act of setting fire to some
building, he was conducted to the treo. The
crowd thinks ordinary hanging too lenient a
death, so it is determined to suspend the poor
wretch by tho feet. He is, therefore, pinioned
around the arms, the rope being meanwhile
fastened to hia feet. As this is done the un
happy wretch begs that ho may be allowed to
die by strangulation. This is not allowed. The
other end having been passed over the bough
of tbe tree, he is tripped off his feet and hauled
up feet first. When his head is about three
feet from the ground the end of the rope is
fastened ronnd the trunk of the tree. Some
fiend, notoontent with this, raises a huge stone,
and dashes it with all his might at the bead of
the hanging man. It was a good aim, for the
nose is eoeu to be broken. Others participate
iu Ibe apart aud soon the head is not distin
guishable, but ia one mass of gore and pulp.
This ia mob brave sport that the dull thud
sound ia.heard as each stone is flung, while the
narrator passed down the street. In Halstead
street a youth about sixteen had been caught
kindling a Are, with the intent of spreading the
flames through the city. When last seen by
Mr. Boatman, he had one arm completely
wrenched out of the socket, and waa then being
conducted to the place of execution.

ments as they deem proper. Our hotels arc pro-
pared to accommodate, at moderate rates, a largo
number, hut if expectations are realized, there will
be demands made upo i the hospitality of ouFpri-
vato families. Some can and will be entertained
liberally without charge. Others cannot afford it:
and it is to those who have the room that we appeal
for such assistance as they can offer, and at such
prices an they may feel willing te accept.

October 10,1871. f
On next Monday, ths 16th inst, the Halls and
Rooms a; Central City Park will all be ready for the
reception of any and all articles designed for exhi
bition at the approaching State Fair, and if the
quantity and quality of the contributions are at all
in proportion to the rooms which have been pro-
K red for their display, the exposition must and will
a grand one. And will Macon be satisfied to
stop with tha most beautiful Park, and the fiuest
Exhibition Halls in the South? In this particular
we are fin-shed and complete. But it is one thing
to build and arrange,for a Fair, while it is quite
another to fill np and properly utilize the space to
profit and advantage. If the work shop, machinery
halls, store houses, studios and parlors of our Ma
con people alone, are made to contribute as liber
ally to this enterprise as they should do, we will
present a display alike creditable to Macon and the
State. Especially should this be the case in regard
to the many fine paintings and other rare specimens
of art and taste owned and cherished by the ladies
and gentlemen of Macon. Let everything of inter
est and merit be brought out. It is only too well
known that two of the most interesting Fairs ever
held in Georgia were the direct result of extraor
dinary, wide awake, energetic local effort. But
nothing can be done without the pride, the will and
the work. Let everything, from the pet bird and
flower, to the steam engine, be brought out. There
is scarcely a boy orgirl in Macon, perhaps, but who
could contribute something that would interest
some other boy or girl, and so in regard to every
individual.
Premiums aro offered for almost everything, and
where a neglect or oversight has occurred a situa-
ble reward will attach to any article of merit which
may bo exhibited. The merchant, the manufac
turer, the artist, all can bo benefited by an adver
tisement growing out of an expose of their busi
ness at the Georgia State Fair. No better adver
tisement can be nude. To the ladies I appeal,
with trust aud confidence, that they will make Flo
ral Hall what it deserves to be on tho morning of
the 23d instant—a picture aud a charm. Much time
and money has been spent in preparing the grounds
and buildings, now let us complete tho work by pre
senting the largest and finest display ever made on
a similar occasion. Let the most beautiful and in
teresting portion of every man's business and eveiy
lady's parlor be moved down to the Park lor one
week, and there be placed in competition with
whatever may come from abroad, and it will afford
us a week of rare interest aud recreation, and in
thus pieasing our guests we shall compensate our
selves,
The following ladies aro kindly requested to meet
at the Park ou next Tuesday evening, tho 17th in
stant, to act as a committee to superintend tbe ar
rangement of such articles as may bo sent to Flo
ral Hail for exhibition. Without some system and
concert of action on the part of the ladies, this, the
most intoroeting feature,of all Fairs, will fail with
us to bo a success.
Tho tidies of Macon cm and will mako this tho
grandest exhibition of fiuo arts, tasto and beauty
ever seen in tho St&to Those of the following
committee, who cannot attend, will please invito
their friends to represent them during tbewoek, as
may bo most convenient. There is left to ns but
one week iu which to accomplish this great work.

Tho following business bouses have been selected
to wait upon other business men of Macon and urge
them to give their time and influence to this enier-
E rise for three or four days. Let each business
ouse in Macon exhibit something—if it be nothing
but a show case in which somebody else can ex
hibit some article of interest and merit. Two or
three days of active effort will place everything in
proper order and condition to be tamed over to
the Executive Committee on their arrival here next
Monday. And it must be distinctly understood
that the municipal authorities of Macon have noth
ing whatever to do with the control or manage
ment of the Fair. Tho President and Executive
Committee of the State Society have entire con
trol of xt. The city authorities have only to look
after and tiko care of the financial department.
Hence the importance of making it a great success.

There seems to bo an impression that $2 50 mnst
be paid on every article exhibited. Such is not the
case—$2 50 pays for a season ticket which admits
the holder to the grounds at any and all times
