SUNDAT MORNING. OCT. 29, 1871.
The Fair Attendance.
The comspondeiit of the Saranaah »"•
say* that on i he 26th “the crowd wm even Urgor
then el the loir of 1869." The throng on that
day wee very large, hot on ono of the day* to
1869 it wee hardly lees than forty thousand.
That wee the first fair for many yeete, end a
novelty—and there were no other fair* nearly
eontemporeneona to diride the attraction. Bat,
MTertheleaa, the alter dance last week was Tory
large, and-what to bettor, the viritora all ap
peared to be perfectly e ttofled with the provis
ions for their comfort’and enjoyment They
were all good natnred—ell polite and friendly—
—ell duly sober—net a ease of drunkenness vis
ible, and to respect to general appearance and
demeanor, all that could makes patriotic Geor
gian proud. A correspondent of a New York
paper who to going Iho rounds of the Fall Fain
—commenced in Lowell tost September, end
will finish st the Louisiana Fair to New Orleans,
on the 181b proximo—says the beauty of the
;.qi,. the decorum, order and intelligence of
the whole assemblage and the taste and judg.
ment displayed to the buildings and grounds
are not only unexcelled, but be thinks so far
unequalled. |M
The Chi ante HMMicr--.
If the Chinese were only black instead of
yellow, the Californians might be in some dan
ger of a martial tow and Ku-klnx oommittee
raid. The proceedings at Los Angelos, last
Wednesday, were dtcidediy unpleasant. A fight
arose between two of the celestials to the
Chinese quarter of that town, and it to said of.
fioers n arrosto wore filed upon by China-
men. Tom was the signal for a row which
1,^—1 -11 day. The mob arose five hundred
strong-yslnst fifty Chinamen e-agave them no
quarter. Fifteen of them wer^ hung and the
remainder killed or frightfully beaten, or other-
wise maltreated. Among the killed were a wo
man and a little gliL
Leek to Tour Follefes.
The recent calamity at Chicago demonstrated
one fact beyond nil cavil. That is, that imre
ranee to the sheet anchor of commercial and in
doatrial prosperity. All the sefforers who were
forlnnate enough to linvo their policies written
in substantial sad reliable incorporations, bad
thalr claims adjusted sad paid without delay,
and ire already preparing for their u'ual trans
actions. Among the valuable experience de
rived from tbi* dreadful ordeal, one of the im
portent features is the fsot that those organiza
tions doing a general business, carefully di;» rib.
nted and disrrretly scrutinized, are much str. ng
er and infinitely more reliable than those doing
a local husineaa. Indeed, all tho ineorpattona
foroed Into liquidation by the Cbieago ocenr-
ronoe, were of tbo character last refered to,
while the former paid every dollar of their lie
bUitiea promptly. Take, for example, that sterl
ing organization so favorably known through
out the whole country—Tux Uoterwarrens’
Answer or New Voax, which to composed of tbo
four leading corporations: The Ilanovor, Ger
mania, Niagara and Uepnblie Insurance Compa
nies of that eity. The total losses of this con
federation by the Chicago ordeal, were nearly
91,000,000; yet no thoroughly are their affairs
managed, and so perfect is their system, that
as early as the Thursday after the fire their
agent was on the ground cashing their liabilities,
in many cases without evon going through the
formality of adjnstment; and after the total
loss was paid, dollar for dollar, they bad intact
bosldea their nnited capitals of 92,600,000 n
cash surplus of 9600,000. This simple illustra
tion of the veins of this system, even under
almost any conceivable contingency, affords
ample evidence of its vast superiority. Onr cit
izens am aware that Henry L. Jewett, Eiq., a
gentleman whose reputation as an experienced
anil always reliable underwriter is second to

ligions or secular, now published, have been

that it will enter upon its fiftieth year in Ibe
beginning of 1872. It was established as a re

aecnlar newa; and it has been one of the ablest,
and at the asms time, one of the most successful
journals in the country.
The publiehen announce for the coming year,

seventeen millions; thirteen millions will bo

on with a high hand. According to advices
from that “bister Republic,” tho President has
given unconditional assurances of speedy an-
noxation—and a fleet of six armed vessels of
the United States army carry instructions to
back Boor against tho world.
The instruction! which Secretory Boboon
has at different timet iaaued to our naval officers
in the waters of Ban Domingo, And which are
still in force, are ae follows:
“Afford countenance and assistance to the
Pomlnioan people against their enemies now on
the island and to revolution against the lawfully
constituted government, and nee the force at
jour command to recist any attempts to invade
the Dominican territory by land or sea.
“This government to determined to protect
the present Dominican government with all its
power. Use yon fore# to give it the most ample
protection against any poster attempting to in.

I'nlrnppy South Carolina.
The partisan rancor which to now overturning
all civil order to South Carolina is inflicting the
severest pecuniary damage upon that oppressed
people. At the very moment when the tax
gatherer to most clamorous for an extraordinary
portion rf their snbstanee, labor haa ceased and
the crops aro rotting nngathered to the field.
The story of these calamities is most pitiful.
Bat pecuniary looses hardly deserve mention
in comparison with the loss of all personal seen-
rity. Every man in those ostracised oonnties
to at the mercy of whoever owes him a grudge.
No charge will be made which cannot be proven
by any desired cumber of witnesses, and as the
negroes will have the ear of the court, convic
tion becomes a moro question of will. Scroggs,
Titus Oates and tbe meal tnb plot trials are re
vived on a larger and improved scale.
Bat where is this business to stop 7 Injustice
breeds injastioe—and wrong breeds violenoe.
How long will it take to harmonize society to
South Carolina on a basis of expsrte trials and
convictions through negro testimuny ? Let ns
suppose that tbe administration to successful to
all its measures—that the whites nre fined and
imprisoned by hundreds—that Radicalism and
Africanism, hand to hand, run riot over ail
South Carolina, and while the storm of persecu
tion lasts the whites are driven by scores into
exile and concealment—or move about with
bated breath and palsied arms and tongues—
whet then? What has been accomplished?
Nothing bnt mischief.'
This system of terrorism cannot bo perpet-
l\ The memory of wrongs perpetrated under
it will for transcend its extotercs; end the
deadly fends it will engender may exist for gen.
orations. All these proceedings will only
^grovato the evils they purpose to remedy. The
entire policy of the Radical party from first to
lost—which seeks to play upon hostility of race
in order to secure party possession of the ne
groes—to fraught with untold evil to the latter.
Thu negroes can accomplish nothing for them
selves except to harmonious co-operation with
the native white population of the South. A
policy which sets aside all the ordinary machi
nery of publie justice and employs tbe negroes
as familiars, spies and informers and witnesses
against their employers, must be inexpressibly
vicious and mischievous to all its consequences.
Every philosophical statesman most admii
that so great a social revolution as has been
wrought to the South ly external force, mast
necessarily leave temporary agitation and dis
turbance behind it It could not bo otherwise.
Tho.wosder to that this disturbance, from so
great a shock, has not bean greater, instead of
lees. Now whet is tho care ? Let tbe waters
settle of themselves, by tbe natural force of
gravitation. Tbo great law of necessity and
interest was operating day by day, with silent,
but irresistible energy, tore-adjust conflicting
Ideas and prejudices. What was needed was
hands off.” Bat this might have identified
the two races too closely for tho purposes of
radicalism. The sympathy might have run into
polities, and the negro vote might have been
divided, and bence the Ku-Klnx enginery
to ro-agitalo the waters of strife and
division. ThU9 tho whole Radical nytem is
equally and fatally at war withthe best interests
of both races. It demands division, segregation
and discord. Its greatest enemy to peace, and
social harmony.

llow an Old Allnntinn Lost n Fortune—A
(ieorzla Diamond Worth Twenty-Five
Millions or Dollars.
From the recently published work by Dr.
Stephenson on tbe geology, mineralogy, etc.,
of tbe State, we take the following interesting
account of the diamond mines of Hall county.
Many of our old eitizens will recognize tbe sin-
tnlsr adventure related by tbe author of Dr.
[rfiyd, tbo whilom proprietor of the Washington
Hall, in connection with tbe diamond hunting
to that valuable section of our State:
Running parallel with tbe marble is the im.
menso ledge of itaeolumite, or elastic sand
stone, tbo matrix of tho dismond. It extends
throughout the country for thirty miles, and in
every gold deposit, or branch mine near it,
have been found splendid diamonds by the
gold washers, who being totally ignorant of
their nature or value, either lost or destroyed
most of them. Some were sent to Europe to
be cut and aet in jewelry, but most of them
were lost. Borne of them are still in the hands
of the finders, who keep them as momentos.
in their rongh state. Being entirely ignorant of
their nature or vaine, none were picked np but
snch aa were without incrustation, which, in
Brazil and Goieonda, amounts to only tbe one-
tenth part of tho whole product. Fonr.fi/tha
of all the diamonds fonnd to any country are
small and only fit for mechanical purposes—
in general, being less than half a caret, or from
one to two grains. Tbe carat is a fraction less
than fonr grains (three and ons-sixtb), but in
all estimates end soles in tbe mines tbo carat to
put at four grains. It originated from the use
of tho seed of a plant in the East Indies, in
tbe sale of diamonds. This berry, which grows
only in that region, though not very accurate,
answered the purposes of the ssmi-civilized In
dians for several thousand years.
The yield in Brazil, for forty years, from the
labor of from thirty thousand to sixty thousand
hands, ranged between one tbonsr.nd and twelve
hundred oncces. Of this large amount they
rarely found more thou three or four, and never
moro than ton, that weighed more than thirty
carets. These facts strongly confirm tbe opinion
that, when developed, Hull cunty will be t
rioh in diamonds as Brazil, and contain even .
larger per cent of sizable ones of the first
water. In washing for gold, all the large ones
would, from the construction of the machines,
necessarily bo lost or thrown away with tho
quarts gravel with whioa they are i ssoetoted,
und only such os passed into tho rifflers, with
the grains of gold and fine sand, won’.d bo found
in the nannir s, after the day’s work was done.
All of those found in Hall county were thus
found. Weighing from two tors carats, sqme
few less, and three were of large size. One of
these, as before stated, was broken np to see
the cause of tbeir lustre, by the ignorant min-
era. Another was nsed for years, by the boys,
as a “middle-man” to playing marbles; and the
largest one by for was lost by Dr. Loyd, who
was employed to oversee thirty negroes in work
ing the Glade Gold Mine, a deposit twelvo miles
northeast of Gainesville.
Daring the fonr years hs was employed, he
picked out of the sands of the pannings for gold
every night, after tho day’s washing was over,
about half a pint of pretty atones, whieh be
gave to his wife, who pat them in a mustard
bottle in an old cupboard, except such as the
children took a fancy to, which were generally
lost. When the bottle was fall, she made a little
bag and pnt them into that for fntnre amuse
ment. Some of these, from their size and re
puted lustre, must have been worth from twenty
thousand to fifty thousand dollars. Bat the
“big one” was fonnd by himself whilst worktoj
to the pit to the piece of a tick hand. He sail
that about tiro hours by sun (he had no watch),
while raising a gravel he found a stone just like
the little once, except that it was bright and
shining only on one ride, the other side being
covered with a crust of brown stuff. It was
abont the size of a “guinea egg.” Being hard
pushed to keep the wheelbarrows filled with
gold gnvel, so os to furnish grit for constant
washing, he laid it on the bonk by a gum tree,
which stood olose by, nntil night, when he in.
tended to take it np to the cabin and give it to
five evidence that the Governor has practiced a
fraud upon the State by endorsing and deliver
ing bonds before tbe road was complete. And
by application to the proper officers we find
that $.1,300,000 of the endorsed bonds, by
order of tho Governor were signed, sealed with
the great seal of tbe State, registered end
Fort Volley. Go.

_ Twelve years afterwards he was shown a rough
diamond, and at once reoognized the contents
of the “ mustard bottle,” and the “ big one,"
he bod laid up by tbe gum tree. Soon after he
fonnd the “big pretty stone,” the lease ex-

ionic the hands, and quit work. Abont the
same time Mrs. Loyd died; and his daughter,
who had reached womanhood, married, end
moved away to Southwestern Georgia, and took
the tittle furniture they had, among which was
the cupboard, whieh then contained the fated
bog. When he became satisfied of the vaine of
the stones, be at onoe left Atlanta, where he
was keeping the Washington Hall and went to
his daughter; bnt she had no knowledge of the

The attractive figure which Senator Schnrz
makes in American politics, the delivery of bis
speech to a large audience* last night, and its
publication in the papers this morning, will ren
der a brief sketch of his romantic career inter
esting to onr readers.
Carl Schuiz was born at Ltblar, near Cologne,
Germany, March 2, 1829. After a full course
of studies in tho Gymnasium of Cologne, he
went, in 1846, to the University of Bonn, where
be studied history, philosophy and tho ancient
languages, until tho outbreak of the revolution
of 1818. He took an active part in the prevail-
eral newspaper, the conduct of which devolved
wholly upon Schnrz in consequence of Kinkel's
absence as a member of the Prussian Legisla
tors. An unsuccessful attempt to produce an
insurrection at Bonn, in 1819, obliged both Kin-
kel and Schnrz to flee to the Palatinate, where
Schnrz joined a body of revolutionary t oops
and participated in the defence of Basindt. On
tbe surrender of that fortress he concealed him
self three days and nights, withoat food, and
finally, escaping through a sower, made his way
across the Rhine, arriving in Switzerland in
Angn't, 1849, where he remained in Reclusion
till tho following May. Kinkel was captured,
condemned to twenty years’ imprisonment, and
rbnt np in tbe fortress of Spsldan. After a long
correspondence with the wife of his imprisoned
compatriot, Schnrz undertook his rescue, made
his way secretly back to Germany in May, I860,
and, after three months of preparation, sno
eecded. On the night of November 6, 1850,
Kirkel'a cell was broken open, and he was
brought to tho roof of the prison and safe-
ly lowered to the ground. The fugitives
escaped the same night across the fron
tier and arrived at Leith abont December 1.
Schnrz lived at Paris and London as a newspa
per correspondent till 1852, when he married in
the latter eity and emigrated to America. After
spending three years in legal, historical snd po
litical studies in Philadelphia, he settled in Mad
ison, Wisconsin. His subsequent career in this
country is too well known to need mention here.
