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.

Con tributions of all kind* were crowding in and the building ie now pretty well packed. En uring the east end the first attraction is the splendid exhibition made by Messrs. Sharp* A Floyd, of Atlanta. Theae gentlemen have $80,- 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, small ones, of course. These exhibitors show nothing but pure plate, and have a aplendid stock of it They exhibit, also, some beautiful bronzes, much tasteful gold jewelry and a good many articles of vertu. Wing A Solomon, of Mscon, at the other ex tremity of the hall, also show a beautiful and ooatly array of jewelry, watches and silver ware. Hunt, Bank in A Lamar, of Mscon, display a very handsome array of perfumery of their own manufacture in elegant cut glass bottles, handsomely arranged. Bead, Cainrick A Andrews, 198 Fulton street, New York, exhibit a handsome array of medi cines of their own preparation. J. H. Zeilin A Co., of Macon, have a nicely arranged exposition of medicines and per fumery of their own manufacture. Oliver, Douglass A Co., of Maoon, show a case of plated ware and table furniture and adornments. B. A. Wise has an elegant case of Meriden and Gorham plate, Chios and cut glass, which makes a handsome display. One of the most interesting exhibitions on the lower floor of Floral Ilsll is made, pro bona publico, by L C. Plant, Esq. This is two of Indian pottery, atono work and other relics and of various exceedingly interesting fossil re mains collected principally in Georgia. They embrace several specimens of the Tribolite, the first display of animated nature succeeding Chaos, down to numerous relics of the Sanrians, the mammoth and other ante-deluvian mons ters. The collection to worth days of study. M. It. Bogus, the well known Macon confec tioner, occupies the corner of the Hall opposite Sbarpo A Floyd, with every triumph of liis sweet and plastic art. Mr. M. H. Cutter exhibits in a case a cross section of every wood—the growth of Bibb oonnty. Jacob Schall, Mix A Kirtland, E. I*. Strong, and Charles C. Hughes, of Atlanta, make band- some displays of fine boots snd shoes. Schall and Hughes exclusively of their own manufac ture. 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 also displayed singular taste iu arranging a re treat for themselves, where they do a taslefnl merchandise in aid of their holy cause. Brown A Co. have a tasteful stand, and dis play an infinity of articles cf taste snd valne. Truman A Green show a grand variety of articles in the household furnishing line, in cluding a fine display of plated ware. The well-known grocers, Greer. Lake A Co., and Pntzel A Jacobs, rival each other in exceed ingly attractive displays of fruits, confections and a’l the sweets and fragrances of the elevated family grocery line. Greer, Lake A Co. also display an extensive assortment of Kentucky seeds. J. H.

The display of flowering plants to very large, and has been liberally contributed to by Mr. P. 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. A. J. Singleton end Mrs. Brantly have on exhi bition egg plants big as a foot bs't. In fruits, Dr. Hamilton, of Dalton, displays sixteen varieties of apples, some of which would weigh nearly a pound. Mrs. O. C. Greene, of Fort Gaines, shows some wondeifr'. pears.

This is a hasty glance at the contents of the ground floor of Floral HalL We will look farther to-morrow. 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 in its operations, and enltot in ita support the faff our liberties take tho maxim to heart. On the South the aoeun-ed, heU-doNerving, conquered, re bel. traitor South—every experiment towards despotism, destruction of free government, and erection in the stead thereof of a mill where the many are to be ground like ooratfor the profit of the few, has been taken. Succeeding perfectly and met even with ap plause and bravo*! the experiment has been cunningly haMened Into ro'e, sad every villain- oss essay made on the Sooth from 1867 to 1870 to now in 1871 an iron yoke for tho North's neck. Divide and conquer to the prooesa that a., t—«n and to going on. Put out a report of murderous doings South, under oover thereof rivet another link, and by the time the riveting to over let the North woke np to find that the shackle that was only to have bound the South in some mysterious way binds it too.” Now let us see how the “ free North’ submit to what it has cheered snd applauded when done to the rebellious South. Shackles well graoe the limbs of “traitors,” but bow look they on the limbs of the “ patriots’ “saved the Union ?” Verily, the whirligig Time doth bring many and curious revenges. TBE GEORGIA 1‘KESM. Aaron Alpeoria Bradley'* latest “yawp’ that there are eeveral Radical negroes in Sa vannah oonspiring against bto life, and that each one haa a pardon from Bullock in his pocket, and would not even be arrested if (Alpeoria) was killed. Five thousand sod fifiy-six bales of upland cotton, valuad at $468,626 09, were shipped from Savannah, for Liverpool, on Saturday. In attempting to arrest a disorderly negro named Wm. Hee, on Skidaway Island, near Savannah, on Saturday night, a constable named Arthur Joues, was first shot at by Hee, and terwards caught and held by another negro, while Hee stabbed him, inflicting a dangerous 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. Mr. DeMontmol'in studied law in the offioe of Messrs. Hartridge A Chisholm, on Drayton street, and waa admitted to the bar bnt a few months since Mr. W. A. Kent, who is known to have been dreadfo'ly mutilated about tbe hoad and breast by tho negroes, is about 26 years of age, though he looks much vonneer. Mr. Henry Slyer, supposed to be hilled, was about twenty-two or three years of ego, and is well known in this city. We forbear at present making any further oomment upon tt-'s tragic af fair, of which we hope exon to have fell and re liable particulars, r i it wi". be promptly and tborongbly investigated by the authorities and tbe friends of the murdered and massing men. A deficiency in horse racks is the question that at present vexes the serene souls of tbe Bainbridgera. Hon. George D.

I am neither for Atlanta or Msoon—but for tbe existing contract to al ternate. Use these facts if you please in my behalf, in any way your judgment approves. Respectfully yours, Dav. W. Lewis. The above card of Cob D. W. Lewis, the able and experienced Secretary of the Georgia Agri cultural Association, is dignified, manly and to the point We have heard Colonel Lewis ex press himself time and again without reserve upon all snbjeots connected with the State Ag ricultural Sooiety, and can truthfully bear testi 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 once Cob Lewis takes no aides on this ques tion, but simply devotes all of bto energies and influenos in behalf of the general interests of the Association.

This, we suppose, to the beginning of the end of Mr. H. L Kimball’s developing career Georgia. Commenting upon this proclamation, the Atlanta Era, of yesterday, aaya: We learn that bis Excellency Governor Bul lock, aoompanted by one of his Secretaries, and by Judge Brow j, left the city last night for New York. The object of the Governor’s Visit is to make a rigid examination of the oondition of l Brunswick and Albany Railroad Company’s nascUl affairs in New York, and we understand that he expects to reach New York on Thursday morning—sud will return on Saturday night from New York, reaching here on Thursday morning— the day before the meeting of the Legislature—prepared to toy all the facts before that body. The rumors that have been flying abroad, to tbe attachments and levies made on I Brunswick and Albany Boad seem to have con firmation in the action of the Governor in tak ing possession of the property for the protection of the State and the Hoad's creditor, as set forth in the proclamation that we elsewhere publish this morning.
