In trie Stock department, the number ot thorough-bred and horses tor all work, is large and gratifying to all. Some of the finest blood i:. the country, and of selected importation, are present.

The Poultry one xbibition must afford pleasure to all fanciers ot the imported Chicken. The varieties are almost as extensive as it seems pos sible to have them. la the department, where the tastes and labors of the fair daughters of the South bring together th -ir offerings, while it is not so well furnished with contributions as in 1853, ye: the quality how present, seems to supply any deficiency that nay be apparent in quality. Paintings,Needie st ork tasty decorations on different fabrics, •p.eudid patch-work quilts: and last, but not least, these valuable commodities, in the house- L.-ld ot every citizen, line butter, lard, pieserves, j ns. pickles, &c., &c., are in abundance. In the mechanical department may be found splendidly finished Carriages, manufactured in Georgia—cotton gins, straw cutters, plows, culti vators, &c., &c. Considerable competition will be found among planters, as w e notice quite a number of cot- I ton bales, which have been entered for premiums, I In the Floral and Horticultural department, s considering the lateness of the season for such an < exhibition, the articles offered, though limited in t n -mber, are very gratifying. « Below, we resume the details of reportlag the articles on exhibition.

Lenoir, of Roane co., Tenn.; spe cimens of Blackberry Wine, which an accident caused your reporter to fully appreciate. He broke a bottle, perhaps by careless handling, and the best Wine, that ever found its way down a connoisseur’s throat, wasted its sweetness away. The old Time came over him, and he tasted it— “talk of the Nectar that sparkled for Helen; her’s was a fiction, but this is reality.” May the fail maker oi this Wine live a thousand years, and “goodness and her fill one monument.” Mrs. Lenoir, also presented a bottle of exqui site Blackberry Cordial.

Hilton, late of the Savannah Georgian The withdrawal of Mr. Hilton,the high-toned and talented Editor ot the Savannah Georgian., fiom that paper, has elicited from the Republican the following handsome and merited tribute to that gentleman. It is doubly complimentary, coming as it does, from a political opponent. ; The Demociatic party loses in Mr. Hilton (we hope temporarily only) an able champion of its principles. We trust, that ere long, we may hear of his return to a vocation in which he has done | such good service, and won for himself an envi able reputation. Withdrawal of Mr. Hir.rox from the Georgian.—lt is with unaffected regret we learn Horn the Georgian of Saturday, that Mr. R. B. Hilton has disposed of his interest in that es tablishment, and withdrawn from the paper. It ! is known that we differ from Mr. H. on most of the political topics ol the day, yet we can with truth say—and it affords us pleasure to do so— that, in all our editorial experience, we have never met with a more perfect gentleman, nor encountered a more manly opponent. Incapa ble of doing anything ot even doubtful proprie ty, deeply imbued with the principles of bis par ty, a ready, forcible writer, and a gentleman of fine intellect and high character, his withdrawal from the Georgian will be a great loss, not only to his immediate patty, but to the whole press and people of the State. Our regret at the loss of so courteous a con temporary, is increased by the causes which, it is said, hive occasioned it. It is currently re ported, that Mr. H. could not, without doing vi olence to his conscience, give his support to cer tain men on the Democratic ticket, and the poli cy they would inaugurate, and that rather than do so, be determined to withdraw from the pa per. Other reasons for this step may have ex isted, but this is understood to be the chief cause of the separation. Political Affairs in Europe. The Knickerbocker contains monthly, a chap ter, called “ The Editor's Tabled which is always full and crowded with rare and spicy dishes pre pared or selected by its bright and witty Editor, Louis Gaylord Clark. Politics, poetry, anecdote, humor and pathos are spread in attractive profu sion. Grave truth is olten set forth in such quaint and curious phrase as gives it a new charm, with out detracting from its force. We select from the November number, the fol lowing specimen: “A new correspondent, who rather over writes the opening of his first communication, has nevertheless some thoughts that are worthy of a ‘ transfer to type:’ “ Wr-at splitting work Kossuth makes with the 'Old Hunkers’ot Europe 1 I recollect what Hume said nearly a century ago, when the debts ol Great Britain and the nations of Europe were hardly a tithe of what they how are; namely. • that princes and States quarreling amidst their debts, funds, and public mortgages, reminded him of nothing but a match ot cudgel-playing fought in a china-shop.’ ■ The match of cudgel-playing now* going on in Europe has as yet been rather warily and tim idly pursued , but when the parties get a little more heated, it will no doubt bee* me brisk and lively, and the broken crockery will fly accord ingly. Just look at some of the Old Hunkers’ who occupy prominent places behind the coun ters ol crockery shops in England and Europe F Queen Victoria’s capacity seems to be limited to considerable activity and energy in the multipli cation oi the human race. In this respect she is hardly surpassed by the meanest ot her sub jects. But her voice in the management of the business of the shop is very slight: she does bus little more than open and shut, and sweep out occasionally. Ihe Queen of Spain is a ' well she is no better than she ought to be,’ and is only about an average specimen of the class to which she belongs. She, however, has a good deal to say about the business of her shop. Louis Napoleon is a cosmopolitan ‘ Old Hunker’ of va ried und extiaordinary experience The Empe ror Nicholas, as portrayed in his diplomatic cor respondence with England, appears to be no lees shrewd and scrupulous a personage than the Em peror of Fiance. The Emperor of Austria is a young man of mediocre abilities—nothing more. His voice is very jiotent in tbe business of ffia shop. “Now in the match of cudgel-playing at tbe present time being iought in the china-shops of Europe, great vigilance, dexterity and shrewd ness on the part ot the tenders will be required to preserve their wares whole. Au opinion veiy generally prevails that they are not equal to tbe task ol keeping them.so. Great breeding pow ers. strong amorous propensities, duplicity, dou ble-dealing, and humbugging generally—quali ties like these, it is thought, will avail but little to withstand tbe racket, when the cudgel-play ing becomes hot, eager, and generally partici pated in. Kossuth has swung his cudgel with startling effect among the brittle ‘ Old Hunkers' ot England. Such sentiments as the following, for instance, seem to heave from their very foun dations the china-shop of the old world. “ But I say unto you, let matters just go on yet a while as they are going, and it must, it wilt come to that, (British bayonets opposed to tbe resurrection ol Poland and Hungary.) There may be some still iu your government who did not yet mean to go so tar ; however, they have already pledged Great Britain to oppose any at tempt oi national freedom, and it will not be in their power to stop hall way. Expediency I thou lalse wisdom of the blind and of the weak 1 thou spectre reeking with tbe blood ol muidered nations! thou who never weighest the conse quences,, but dost always sacrifice to a moment’s tear the justice ot eternity, and to a moment’s rest the peace and security of centuries I—then who hast always been lound ready to purchase a. tyrant’s smile by the groaning of millions I Ex pediency I thy path vuy is like the pathway ot sin: one step upon its glossy slope, and there is no stopping any more; it is Milton’s bridge, which leads " Smooth, easy, Inoffensive down to hell.” Yes, in the way 1 see Great Britain engaged ift this war, Great Britain will needs come so far a* to tight against freedom on the continent ” Another Stock Fraud in Newt York city has come to light. The police have arrested a man for obtaining 5t5,000 in mining bonds, stoske, etc, from a Broadway firm, by fraudulent repres entations.
