SATURDAY MORNING. OCT. 21. 1871.
Telegraph Htntc Fair Bulletin.
Th# Georgia SUte Fair for 1871 win open in “» n -
Maoon, Monday, October 23d, and close on the
Friday following. Extraordinary preparations
are in progreaa to make this Fair tbe n oat ex-
tonaiTO and popular Industrial Exposition which
baa ever been witnessed in the Southern States.
To meet ail the newspaper requirements of
so important an oeoaaion, tbe Tnxoiuni aim
Mutxxoxa will, daring the day* of tho ex
position, issue an edition to t>o called the Teta-
onara Stat* Fain Bcixrrar, giving U»e ,atMt
telegraphic and mail news—full reports of the
progress of the fair—lists of exhibitors and ex
hibits, speeches and reports delivered on the
occasion—and very fall descriptions of all tbe
trials of speed and prowess by land and water.
In the sixo of this sheet and of its editions, it
will meet every requirement of tbe vast crowd
of citlxens of Ooorgia and strangers from all
parts of tbe Sooth and the country, who will
gather hero at that time. The opportunity for
business publicity it will afford to business men
in Maoon and every other part of the oountry.
North and South, will be very great. Wo will
publish advertisements in this paper for the
whole period of Hit Reposition at the rate or two
dollars an inch, allowing a discount of twenty to
thirty per cent, upon advertisements longer than
six Inches, in proportion to length. Advertise
ments inserted once will be charged one dollar
por inch in length. Cusar, Joxn A11 max.
The Cirent .Southern fires.
In noticing a romark by Bev. Henry Ward
Ueecber that tho contributions for tho relief of
tho Chicago sufferers came from tho North
alone, tho Wilmington Journal justly remarks
that destructive tires and devastations of unex
ampled extent and the result of no accident,
have plaocd it out of tho power of the Southern
States to contribute very materially to tho relief
of these unfortunate people. Tbe pecuniary
losses of the South, neodlessly inflicted upon us
by the Northern people, even in subjugating tbe
oountry, are not fifty nor a hundred of millions,
but scarcely loss than six thousand millions.
And, sinoo tho close of the war, although there
have been a few exceptional esses to tbe con
trary, ninety nino in the hundred of our people
have been simply struggling for a subsistence,
and, in a majority of eases, with but indifferent
success. Still, wo are glad to say that many
communities in the South have contributed a
ruite out of their scanty stores to help the Chi-
cago sufferers. The Journal, in tho course of
its remarks, revives tbe following record of
noma of (bo great Southern fires :
In hit “Great March to the Has," Major
Nicbulla, Aid de-Camp to General Sherman,
nay*, on page JJ71 “ Nowinlior |.»—Behind nft

Marietta was burned np; for the command is,
that proper details shall be made lo destroy all

• Yesterday, as some of our men wore march-
ing toward Chattahoochee ltiv<r, they aaw in
the distance pillars of smoko rising along its
banks. Tho bridges were la flames. Said one,
hitching his musket oo his shoulder, lu a free

man baa sot tho river on fire.’ '
On pago 38, “ Atlanta is entirely detorted liy
human beings, excepting a few soldiers here
and thsre. Tho houses are vacant; there is no
trade or traila of any kind; the streets are
empty. Heantifnl roses bloom in tho gardens
of fine houses, hut a tcrriblo stillness and soli
tude covurs all, depressing Ibo hearts even of
those who are glad to destroy it. Ia the peace
ful homes of the North there oan he no oonoep.
tiun bow these people have suffered for their
Crimea.”
“Album, NttntT or the l. r >ra Notsitokb.
“A grand ami awful spectacle is presented to
the beholder in this beantifnl city, now in
flames. By order, tho Chief Engineer has dt -
stroyrd by powder sud fire all the store houses,
depot buildings and msebine shops. The heav
en is one expanse of lurid Are, tiro air ia fiilod
with flying, burning cindors; buildings oovering
two bundled acres nro in ruins or in flames.
Every instant tboro is tho sharp detonation or
the smothered booming sennd of exploding
shells and powder, conoealed in the bhildings;
aud then the sparks and flames shoot away np
into the black and red roof, soattering cinders
far and wido."
We may add that for two hundred miles be
yond Atlanta to Savannah, Sherman's track
through Georgia is still marked by houseless
chimneys and genera] desolation. That for
thirty milea eastward of Savannah, a friend who
followed Sherman's trail says be oonld have
walked alt the way into the city on the carcasses
of dead stock of all kinds—the slaughtered
plunder of tho march. And then from Sevan-
nah to North Carolina, the trail of tire and des
olation was still more horrible.

SADDLES AND HARNESS
Honor,—Tho full text of Butler’s Philadel
phis speech against tbe late indemnity treaty,
explains bia concern about honor. He says that,
under that treaty, the bloody Britons will bring
np a long bill of offsetting damages which will
overbalance tbe spoliation claim* by millions,
and thus the United States will not only have
to whistle over their own loaaee, but pay a round
sum of money besides. Now, we understand
the General's ooneern about the loaa of national
honor io this treaty. One Butler cays in Hudi-
braa, that honor is lodged in the breeches, but
the other Bntler is more etrcnnutentisl, and in
dioatee the precise part of that garment which
hold, the precious commodity—to-wit: the
pocket. Tbe honor lost is the money lost; and
In this view of the case we believe the Utter
Bntler is absolutely sincere in bis grief. The
treaty went after wool and comes home shorn.
This involve* some loss of reputation for shrewd
ness as well as of the golden honor for which
Bntler la so mnch grieved.
