Telegraph & Messenger. 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 we leeve a track of smoke and flame. Half of Marietta was burned np; for the command is, that proper details shall be made lo destroy all property which can over be of nse io tbe rebel armies. * * * * * Dwelling lionaes sro leveled lo the gronnd. * • • 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.

Charley, I believe Sher 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.

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. Back from Texan Wo saw yesterday Dr. T. E.

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.
