Telegraph & Messenger. TUESDAY MOUSING. OCT. 24. 1871. Closing isrcnesorcbe First »«y ol tbe Fair. When we left the Gronodi hut night, quite a largo crowd still lingered in the epecione haU* of the exhibition, and the effect under the bril liant gaa light of Mr. Bowe. formed a coup (Tool both unique and beautiful. The Floral presented i fairy eoene with iti rariegated fancy work, gema of art, luasioua fruita, and bluahlng flowora, ahimng amid the traoery of green which featooned the walla. A steady rain drenched the earth, but every one anbmiUed to the inoonTcnience without murmuring, satisfied that a quietus had been giren to the clouds of dual which had been almost stifling in the early part of ihft day. In the afternoon Weston, the “American deer,” walked fire miles and six hundred feet in 58 minutes and 26 seoonds. The rain pre vented any farther cxerdso upon the raoo track. The arrivals by all the trains last night were very numerous, and the attendance to-day will donbtleas realize the expectations of the most sanguine. Attention is directed to the pro gramme of the day’s proceedings published elsewhere. Don Caanos Foaxvxn!—One of the editors, our Local, and a Urge portion of the press gang of the Tenia turn A Messesoen, who were ail atorm-bonod and anpperleas last night, were regaled with an excellent repast from the hospitable board of Mr. W. P. Carlos. Fat broiled ohickens, tender, .juicy loin steak, fried oysters, delicious coffee, breed end butter, etc., eta, ell cooked teeundem artem, caused the weary newsmen not only to forget tbeir troubles, but even to be resigned to future convulsions of the elements, which would result in similsr Godsends. Our worthy host is certainly s lineal descend- ant of the glorioos hidalgos of old Castile, and inheriU the prinoely manners and baronial hos pitality of that galUnt race. Ho administers bU Urgesaes right royally, and with befitting discrimination, npon tbe representatives of the press, which is tho Archixaidean lever that moves tho world. Long life to this incomparable caterer to the pnblit tastes. Wo treat every visitor to oar greet exhibition will feast npon his delicacies, and sample tbe rich and ancient vintages which lie bidden in bis capacious collars. TninttLSTiom or a Cmcioo Bonoiuit.-The Poeblo (Colorado) Chieftain gives a fanny count of s Chicago newspaper man who stopped in tho flourishing yonng city of Greeley, and being athirst, tried in vain to get a square drink. “ lie went np one streot and down another, be tamed Uio cornors of alleys, ha sprung over ditohea, bo oxpiorod sheds and out-houaes, bnt tbe fluid for which hia sonl yoarnod could no. where be toned. ” Ho went hap hazard into one bnilding which bo thought might be “ saloon," and enoonntcretl a prayer-meeting, In anothor be fonnd a Farmer’s Club. Finally, he received trustworthy information that “there was not a drop of liqnor in the place.’’ He left, end wroto to his journal that the town of Gree ley was “without inhabitants, without resources, and without commerce.” Pebiionsz.—We had tbe pleasure of a call, yesterday, from Mr. H. V. Itedfield, the well known correspondent of the Cincinnati Com mercial, who visits Macon to report on all mat tors of interest that may strike him in connec tion with the State Fair. We may confidently look for a grapbio and faithful representation of the actual situation, and its adjuncts and inci- dcntVof every description, from hia spirited pen. We hsve bad occasion, heretofore, to print and oommond various extracts from his Southern letters. He aoea intelligently, judges impartial ly andiloscribea vividly. We arc assured from his sntooodents, as known to ns, that be will give the readers of the Commercial a truthful and interesting report of the Goorgla State Fair of 1871. _____ Gxx. Hum on tux Situation.—We print on tho ontaido of this issue, a dispatch from Mont- gomory covering thn main points in Gen. Frank Blair's late speech there. It wilt bo aeon that he bases bis strongest hopes of success in tbe next 1’residential fight npon the Democracy setting np some snch Republican as Carl Schurz as tbeir candidate. Bnt be does not satiafactori ly explain bow he or those who, with him, re pudiate the “new departure," so-called, can consistently support for President any man who not only proclaims tbe validity of the amend ment*, bnt declares that they were necessary, and are right in themselves. Death or Poor. Mautin, or nix Cnivebsitt orYnoiNiA.—The Richmond Dispatch, of Mon day. prints a dispatch from Lynchburg, dated tbe day before, saying that this gentlemaa, for many years Chairman of tbe Faonlty of tbe University of Virginia, and ainoe a profi in that institution, wss thrown from an ambu lance that day while retaining from the Fair Grounds, and so badly injured that he died that night. PiaaoNAU—Hon. C. P. Wooten, who repre sented tbe 11 tb Senatorial District so ably in the butt Legislature, has removed to this city, and will eontine the practice of tbe legal pro fession. lie U a gentleman of pleasing address, and eminent talents, and will prove a most valu able acquisition to onr bar and community. Law Nones.—Our gifted yonng citixen, Mr. Desaan, offers bis professional services to the publio in a card published in onr columns to-day The oollegiete career of this young gentleman gave indications of promise, and he will proba bly make hia mark in the future. For Speaker ol Ike House. Bdttors Trlegraph andMatengtr: The Legis lature oonvenes very soon and tbe subiect of offloering tbe two Houses is agitated, and is one of importance. Nothing gives more reel weight and dignity to a deliberative body, than an effi cient presiding officer. Indeed, the strength of ell snob bodies lies mainly in tbe ability, promptness and efficiency of the presiding offl- eer*. Me have, for tho first time in several years, « very highly creditable Legislature, end we should not fail to make each House even ofTr^pd^oS^'*’ f ° rthe We need then, os a presiding officer for each house, a gentleman of experience, (both aa to age and to point of legislative experience,) of greet decision of character, and marked ability. Taking the above as a role by which tbe House ■boaUl be governed in the selection of s pre- riding offioer, we shall find no one better quali fied for the high and responsible position of Bpeaker than tbe Hon. dames M. Smith, of Co lumbus. Colonel Smith is a native Georgian, and served in the war as Oolonel of 13th Geor gia regiment nnlil be was elected to Congress in the winter of 1803. He is a lawyer, end has readied tbe highest position that can be attained in hi. profession. He has never sought offioe, nor does be seek it now, bnt his friends who know his worth will urge bis name for tbe poai- Heeombines, with diatingabhed ability, leg- iriative experience, strict integrity and decision of character, an amiability of temper which preeminently fits him for snch a position. I do not mean to depreciate the worth of other gen- Uemen, whose names have been spoken of in *?^oSpoahorahip,when I thus speak of OoL Smith; bnt I do mean to say, and all *“o *»»» Wm will agree with me, that of ell the members of the House, be is the man for the place. Hia election would give weight and SeroStnJloperty! 1 *^ reflecfcredjt upon the For Secretary ot tlte Senate. iWitorA Telegraph and Messenger : It is ex- tut retrenchment and economy are to w.

On Thursday he tele graphed to hia friends there: “We eater a new ■.tore to-morrow, made since tbe fire, and re sume payment in foil and at maturity.” Much men are the living reasons why we pin faith on Chicago. Atlanta Rumors. A letter from Atlanta will be fonnd on onr first page which, we think, deserves some < meet. We have never beard the rumor to which our correspondent alludes, but do not doubt its existence in tbe least—given Atlanta as its starting point It is twin brother to many others of the same kind, all started for one purpose end nothing else, viz: To raise a scare in tbe Legislature, end nnder that pres sure organize both houses thereof on a particu lar basis, and to tbe interests of oettain parties who will be heard of, very often, wo prodiot, before tbe session is over. With all due deference to our correspondent, we do not think he can really believe in tbe er intones of any each plot on the part of a few ex treme State High's Democrats. He knows the men at whom the rumor is aimed too weU to believe that they have in view any purposes not consistent with the purest motives, and the strictest regard for the honor and interests of the State. Such rumors may deceive some nerv" oua folks, but certainly not him. He, it ae to ns, ought to know that the gentlemen alluded to have no intention of doing anything revolu tionary, and that they will not move a band's breadth in any matter wherein action becomes necessary, without the fullest authority of,- and tbe most impregnable backing by, tbe Law. No matter what the subject of tbeir notion may be, we, at least, are assured that it will all be intide the organic end statute law—not outside. If Bul lock baa done aught deserving impeachment and that fact be inoonteatably proven they,to common with the vast majority of the people will doubtless demand that be be impeached. If the lease of the State Boad shell be proven illegal and fradn- lent, they, with tho poople at large, will doubt less demand that it be set aside, and that the law bo folly complied with without regard to the lease being a good or a bad thing for the State. That question will oome np when the other has And ao with everything else that may come within the scope of Legislative action—as honestly and firmly believe. We are are not the defenders of tho gentlemen whom onr corres pondent says rumor charges with entertaining these revolutionary designs. They are folly ablo to take care of themselves. Bat we ii upon, and shall demand justice for them, and aU other Democrats. We protest, therefore, against this effort to get up a scare in the party by repeating aueh rumors. Let tho Legislature be organized npon the basis of tbe bat men, absolutely, for tbe various positions, and with out any reference to what this man, or that man, or this man's or that man's friends think of Bullock's ease, or tho reconstruction of the Supreme Court, or the lease of tbe State Boad or any other question. Let there be no testa set np bnt these: Is be a thoroughly honest man—is be a capable man—is he a true Demo crat? These are sufficient. They cover tbe whole ground, and are all that the people re quire, or will tolerate. Yonr Threats will Fail. There is a determined effort being made to prevent investigation of the condoet of Gov. Bullock, and save him from tbe conseqnenoes of any miaoondnet in office of which be may be fonnd guilty. We cannot understand what a few persons mean, by what they say, if this is not tho objoct. It is freely predicted that, if Bollock is impeached and removed from office, no matter what proof may be adduced, in less than thirty days thereafter the whole country will bo put under military role, and civil gov. eminent suspended. This unmanly prediction is very quietly, but with a very oonfident air, whispered around by some who profess to be Democrats; and by some who claim to have aided, by their individual influence, in saving ns from military rulo in days gone by, givrog individual pledges for good behavior in the fu ture. A few persons belonging to these and like classos, are uttering warning notes of tho con sequences of so nub an act aa removing from offioe a Governor who may be convicted of high crimes and misdemeanors. The plea is, apparently, that General Grant will support and uphold convicted felons and publio plun derers, and punish the people who impose the penalties of law npon the perpetrators of snch crimes. Those who urge this plea are either lacking in nerve to do right, or are aiming to cover up, apologize for, and protect wrong doing. The same unmanly plea was urged most vehement ly, and threats oven were made, before Holden of North Carolina, was removed; but he was fonnd guilty of grave offences, and turned out. The honest men of the Legislature were not de terred from performing tbeir duty by such pre dictions and threats. Wo trust the Legislature off Georgia will not hear these evil predictions, bnt will discharge tbeir duty to the State and the people, and take tbe conseqnenoes. When tbe Legislature meets, it will, of course, investigate the charges which will be preferred against the Governor. It will, we have no doubt, make a clear and impartial investigation, unin fluenced either by passion on the one hand, or fear on tho other. If be is fonnd to be innocent of any wrongdoing, be will be vindicated, as be ought to be. If be is found guilty of crime or misdemeanor, bo will be turned out of bis office, as be ought to bo. Those who are trying to hush np investigation, or to save him from pun ishment if fonnd guilty, by appealing to cur fears and prophesying evil, are wasting their breath. Such, at loa9t, is our judgment in this We beiievo tbe Legislature is composed of men wbo are made of sterner stuff than to quail or shrink from publio duty, before such wickedly intended prophesying*.—Atlanta Sun. The Western Fir on—Horrible Scenes. A letter was received at Green Bay, Wiscon sin, on October 14 th from a committee sent np to Poshtego to relieve tbe sufferings of tbe citi- of that city. We quote from the Tribnno, of the 19th, a pert of its contents as fellows: “I am now writing by tbe light of a piece pork with a atiek through it and stack in the {round. Oar tents are rather shabby affairs. Mill, we are cheerful, and mean to work as long as we can accomplish any good. * * * It seems that the tornado wps fearful, and the country was one sea of fire, making the heat intense beyond power of endurance. Three settlements on tbe Sugar Bush Boad were en tirely consumed. In many eases the men be- ' and gave up in despair; and, sooner than be roasted alive, deliberately com mitted snieide with knives and other weapons. Large numbers of sufferers are arriving at this point, from the interior, every boor. We are administering to tbeir wants by binding np their wounds, and giving them food, and send ing them to Menominee and Marinettee. We are camped on tbe river where once was the village of Feshtego, bnt where not a bnilding baa been left standing. “Tho water will be drawn from tbe pond to morrow, where we expect to find from 100 to 125 dead bodies, who were drowned in attempting to escape from the fire. It is now estimated that tbe whole number of people drowned and burned to death will reach 500. Whole families yet remain unbnried. Tbe great difficulty to have been that tbe people inhaled the fire, and hundreds are now suffering from this cause. Of tbeir intecso agony no tongue can tell or words describe; snch ghastly sights we hope never to see again. I will mention one case of Utile girl, 12 years old, who saved her Uttie ater from death, bat who was advised by many to desist from the attempt lest she herself should Mriab. She heeded them not, however, bnt >y the moat heroio efforts she succeeded in res cuing her Uttie sister from tbe merciless flames. Her father, mother, brothers, and other sisters perished in the devouring element And after the fire had abated somewhat she worked her way back over hot ashes and burning coala and dragged the dead bodies of her relatives ont in to an open space, end then stood watching their charred remains aU day and through tbe long end desolate night that followed. That is child heroism the like of which was never recorded.” “8:30.—Another team has just oome in with landed persons. It has traveled all day through a thickly settled country, but never saw s (ingle house standing. The driver says that the country is literally oovered with dead and dying victims. In one place alone forty dead bodies were fonnd lying together. One man eras fonnd who had traveled sinoe Sunday with a little child in hia arms, suosiating on potatoes which were found in the fields. We gave the child some wine and brandy which partially it. Tbe Uttie creature was nearly dead in its father’ arms.” News in Bbixt.—The Chicago custom bouse, with its vault in which upward* of $2,000,000 burned, is pronounced by the Tribune, of that city, to have been “a fraud of the most barefaced description.” Tho term “fire proof,” applied to it, is “a piece of irony tho most _ prisoners In jail at Chicago by tho fire, but one. a prison caused the death of a oonviot. Prairie F4r-» In Dakota—A Itaee lor Lite. t.i Caoaax, Wia., October 18.—A party has arrived in this city wbo traveled several days through and along the burning district of Da kota and Northwestern Minnesota. For some days previons to leaving Cheyenne Hiver, in Da kota. at a point 75 miles west of the crossing of tbe Northern Pacific Railroad at Bed River, a dense, smoky atmosphere prevailed, which each day grew more dense, warning them that im mense “preirie fires" were approaching rapidly, and the party deemed it prudent to move AMUSEMENTS.
