Nor did they include several long and ver

trouble and expense of the undertaking.
oioiigu vromnnas.
Our attention waa especially directed, also,
to the extensive and creditable vegetable stand
of Mr. George C. Beal, of Milledgevills. This
gentleman had on exhibition no leas than forty
kinds of edible vegetable*, embracing twelve
varieties of English turnips, mammoth speci
mens of beet and egg plant, carrots, cabbages,
I-—,- peas and other esculent*. We thought
our summer garden* had played out, but were
forcibly reminded that it was our energy, in
dustry and skill, which bad suffered an eclipse
from the approach of the toy breath of winter.
Mr. Beal prove* that fall and winter gar
dens in this soft and genial olimsto are not
impossibilities. His cabbage heads vied in sire-
and firmness with the finest of New England
growth, Last year Mr. Beal sold hi* cabbage
crop at 2il oenU per head, and raised 4000 plants
to the acre. Who will say col ton is King when
cabbage enters the arena with such a showing.
The Fair is a grand auoeess. A gentleman
well known to our reader* assured us that he
had visited thirteen agricultural fairs the pres
ent season, and not one could compare with our
inimitable exhibition. All honor to Mayor Huff,
Secretary Lewis, and all connected with the en
terpriae. _
IUniasrx Hoaaoiso Gold—Fob Abotheb
Waa (?)—The persistent accumulation of gold
by the German Government causes much un
easiness in London, and is helping materially
to increase monetary stringency. It is estima
ted that there is now gold coin in the Berlin
Treasury to the value of $1111,000,000, and
there is said to be also $1.1,000.000 in French
(silver) five franc pieces. All this money
simply ••locked up,” and more will be added
the store by further payments of the French in-
drmnity. Meanwhile, no relief is afforded to
tho money market by any prooesa of distribu
tion, bond purchase or other, and the situation
tbrealens to be serious. Oao ostensible object
of the accumulation is to prepare for the new
Prussian coinage, but the suspicion is openly
expressed by French and English journals, that
. Prince Bismarck is determined to hoard a large
amount of specie in bis military treasure-cheat,
so aa to be ready for any political emergency.
It Is not strange, under all tho circumstances,
that the French paper currency should have
begun to depreciate. Gold is already at a pre
mium in Paris.
CnaBACTEUSTro.—A negro named Elliot, who
claims to be an M. C. from what was once the
State of South Carolina, has tho impertinence to
■end us, under his frank, a copy of an address to
the people of tbo so-called United States by the
negro convention reoently in session at Colum
bin. This Elliot, from what wu have beard of
him, is one of the “sassiest" Northern free
negro carpet-baggers that ever cheated the
native field bands out of their just dues of high
oflleiel position, and in the days of slavery
would have been worth—under a strict overseer-
possibly, $1,000 as a hoe handler. Now be sits
in Congress, and baa the effronleiy to send te
epee la bio newspapers documents under bis
frank—which we suppose be hires some one to
write for him. And this is called the “progress
of civilisation.” The Lord deliver us!
Tux Giurmo.—We have the last two nnm
ben of this uioomparable English illustrated
paper from Brown A Co., on Second street.
The Oraphie is so far ahead of all other papers
of ita class in the United State*, that compari
son would be odious, indeed. They all steal
pictures from it, every week, most unsparingly,
and thus testify tbeir appreciation of it. Com
pared with its rivals aeross the water it more
than holds its own. We are greatly surprised,
almost disgusted, when we see cultivated, intel
ligent people preferring the Northern illustra
ted papers, so-called, to the Graphie and other
really meritorious publications of a similar
character.
IIow Flosipx Tixrarsas Hivs Bees Fi.cu-
mud.—A convention of the tax payers of Flor
ida, lately in session at Lake City, have issued
on address to their fellow-citizens, “without
reference to their party connections,” in which
they set forth that the amount to be collected
in taxes the current year is $1,000,000, equal to
one-eloventh of the total peieonal property val
uation of the State. That “from their knowl
edge of the condition of the producing interests,
the delegates assembled give it as their deliber
ate opinion that after deducting the actual ooet
of production, there will not remain in the
hands of producers a sufficient amount to pay
the taxes upon their property.”
Gov. Soott, or South Giboxjwa, oh Mabtzxl
law.—A correspondent of the New York Her-
aid gives that paper an interview with Governor
Scott, of Sonuth Carolina, upon the President's
late proclamation of martial law in certain ooun-
tiee of that State. Tho Governor says that in
his judgment the proclamation was unnecessary.
By a clerical error (aa he supposes) one of the
mast tranquil counties in the State la included
in the proclamation, while another which has
been the seat of some disturbance is omitted.
The Governor thinks that the military proceed
ings may work inconvenienoe to some innocent
men. He conoedea that the oountiea in question
have been more orderly in the past three months
than for a long time before.
The Noam aim South Raiuoan.—The Mont
gomery Advertiser of Sunday, learns from Pres
ident Wallace, that this road—which is to give
that city a direct railway connection with Louis
ville—is now complete to the Alabama and Chat
tanooga Bailroad at Birmingham, and ready to be
opened for freight amt passengers, and that he
haa to notified the offioers of the roadand request
ed inspection to be made on Monday by the State
Oonuninlocers. Tbnw gentlemen, baying pre-

Floral Hall all day waa a busy scene. Con
tributions of all kind* were crowding in and
the building ie now pretty well packed. En

000 in value of jewelry, watches, plate and
bronzes on exhibition. They can show diamond
sets valued at $7,000, and if one is very anxious
to spend money they can buy a pair of Bolitaire
ear-rings at $5,000. Theirjitock of watches is
very fine and includes a diamond watch which
took a premium at the Grand Paris Exposition.
The case of this wstch to set with 380 diamonds,

Some of the todies of the Presbyterian Church,
in the midst of flowers and evergreens, are
busily engaged in vending rustic work, splendid
bouquets, choice plants, Canary birds, goldfish,
etc., being fired with an ambition to collect mon
ey enough to build a parsonage for the church.
The ladies of the Memorial Association have

J. Berckuaus, Mrs. Charles Collins, Mrs. S. F.
Tinsley and otheis.
In vegetables, Mr. George C. Beal, of Bald
win, contributes forty varieties, and some of
them remarkable specimens. Ho says he has
raised 7,000 hard white cabbages this fall,
making two crops from the same ground within
the year, which have met with ready sale at high
prices. Mr. 8. M. Farrar, of Jones, shows
some monstrous turnips of three varieties. Mr.

has a large collection of almost everything.
This is a hasty glance at the contents of the

A Card Col. Lewis.
Macon, Go.. October 24th, 1871.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Gentlx-
iixn :—I confess to some annoyance at the pre
tended importance given by some to any view
of my own as to the policy of the State Agri
cultural Society—and much more, that those
views shon'd be made the occasion of misrepre
sentation. Once for all, theo, it is not true that
I have expressed mvself opposed to the policy
of the Society's holding annual Fair*—that I
have been indifferent to thesuooeasof the pres
ent Fair—that I have not co-operated in the ef
fort to make it successful—that I was opposed
to the Fair being held in Macon this year-tbat
’ prefered a permanent location at Atlanta. The
whole u false.
This is true—and only this to true in the case;
that I give my whole mind and effort to make
the Society an organization that shall embraoe

despotism, destruction of free
government, and erection in the stead thereof

We quote as follows from the Savannah News,
of Monday:
High Handed Octbaox—South Cabouna Ne-
oboes in Aexs.—List night, at an early hour, it
wee reported on the streets that three* citizens
of Savannah were killed yesterday morning iu
South Carolina. Later in the evening the reports
were in part oonfitmed, and the excitement
caused by the earlier rumors increased.
From parties who reached the city last night
by the steamer Boss, the following verson of the
bloody affair was obtained:
It appears that Ur. Louis H. DeMontmollin
to the owner of a plantation in South Carolina,
near tho Savannah and Charleston Bailroad
bridge, about fourteen miles above this city,
and that be last year rented it to Mr. Lumpkin
Zetler, formerly of Effingham oounty, Georgia.
Tb : s year, it to arid, Mr. DeMonlmollin notified
Ur. Zetler that he wished him to vacate the
premises, which Mr. Zetler refused to do.
Another version to, that Mr. DeMontmollin
stated to Mr. Zetler that he must not sub-let
the place or a part of it to negroes. However,
Ur. Zetler to said to have taken no particular
notice of either one or the other, or both of Mr.
DeMontmol'in's requests. The difficulty grow
out of an attempt on the part of Ur. DoMont-
ntollin to enforce his demand.
About one week ago Mr. DeUontmol'-'n went
to the plantation and forcibly ejected Mr. Zetler
and a number of negroes working on the place.
There is no Magistrate’s Court in that neigh
borhood, and, as a number of negroes decided
to remain arid work for Mr. DeMontmollin on
the same terms as they had been working for
Mr. Zetler, and ra quiet seemed to have been
restored, Mr. DeMontmollin returned to Savan
nah. Two or three days ago, however, the
negroes who had abandoned the plantation with
Mr. Zetler, decided to return and drive of those
at work for DoMontmoUin. The latter named
gentleman immediately left the city, and, ac
companied by Mr. W. A. Kent and Mr. Henry
Slyer, encamped on the place within the ruins
of an old Confederate rifle-pit, there being no
house on tho estate. This rifle-pit they in
part repaired, in order to resist an attack,
should one be made by the negroes. A col
ored man named Stonewall Jackson, one
Mr. DeMontmol'in’s servants, who encamped
with them, yesterday morning about daylight
went down to the river to catch some fish for
breakfast. Whilst there be heard a roar of mus
ketry in tho direction of the camp where be had
left the three white gentlemen sleeping. From
the noise made by the discharge of the guns,
Jackson is under the impression that there were
at least 100 shots fired. Jackson immediately
britecod to the shore, intending to reach the
camp, but by the time he bad walked a few
yards, be beard the negroes shooting and curs
ing “that white man’s nigger,” and knowing
tb it the bond of outlaws referred to him, be
returned to the river bank and concealed him
self in the bushes. Presently the shouts,
cheers and corses, commingled, became still
more distinct, and soon after about two hun
dred blacks prosed, bearing Mr. Slyer on a
litter, and guarding Mr. M. and Mr. K. who
were profusely bleeding from their wonnds,do wn
to thejiver. After placing them in the boat, the
negroes divided, Bomo of them going in tbo
direction of the rifle-pit, the others, leaping in
to a number of sms'l boats, rowed down the
river. Home distance from the toud'ng where
the negroes took to the boats, the river makes a
bend to tbe northeast. From this point to where
the negro (Jackson) was conoealed could be heard
tbe cheers of tbe assassins and fbe words “go
to Bloffton,” from wb'cb it is referred that the
white men were carried to that place, for what
purpose is not known, perhaps to give the vic
tims a bnriol in some out of tho way place.
Jackson in time left the bnsheB where ho was
concealed, and went up the river some d’stanee
until he found a boat and pr'led 1-mself to
Pnrysonrg. Ho was aceompr—ed by a white
boy and a negro from the Caro'ina aide of the
river, and when tbe stesmeT Boss made the
land'ng they stepped aboard and were brought to
this city last evening.

upon all snbjeots connected with the State Ag

mony to the statement now Jubmitted under his
own signature. Indeed, if the Colonel could,
consistently, with good faith, have any prefer
ence in the premises, Maoon would be his choice
for a permanent location of the Annual Fair.
But a solemn contract was made establishing
the rule of alternation between tbe cities of
Atlanta and Maoon, and it would be acting
with pnnie faith to violate this agreement

the Association. We publish his letter as a
simple act of jastioe to one who holds s most

Washington. October 22.—The Radicals give
np the impending election in Virginia as hope
less. Several ot tbe cat pet-bag leaders, such
as Pol ter and Platt, have got into qnarreling
among themselves, and, as in other Southern
States, have appealed to the administration for
support. Marshal Sharp, the President’s brother-
in-law, who farms his office here in this dis
trict for $10,000 a year, has not been consulted
in the present canvass, and perhaps this may
account for the confusion in the Radical camp.
