Clark, Vander bilt’s son-in-law, died last aummor, leav ing an estate valued at (15,000,000. The property consisted of ” Vanderbilt stocks,” vist New York Central, Lake Shore, Western Union and Union Pacific, worth perhaps (12,000,000, but estimated at last summer's prices at (20,000,000. Them was due on call Icons (14,000,000, leaving an apparent surplus of (0,000,- 000. A fall of thirty per cent, wipes out this surplus, and forty per cent, off leaves a deficit of (2,000,000. Tub Wane or tub Trades.—One good result of the present paralysis of trade may be seen in the movement in augurated last Thursday by tho engi neers and machinists of New York, who resolved Gut communication be made with othir trades unions upon tho evil consequences of strikes, and that serious consideration be given to measures and muans for the future settlement of all difficulties with employers by arbitration and conciliation. Ex-Sxt RSTARr Boutwkll, in his ad dress hut wosk. in New York, says: I have this to say, that I do not look upon it ue practicable or desirable, cer tainly net pmctioable, that the banks of the country should ever resume specie payments. But the Government, we ex pect. will I and if the banks am required to redeem their currency at the option of the bank, either in United States notes or apeciy. practically wo shall have re sumed. for the banks as well as for the country.

They also agreed to coalesce with the right, and to move in the Assembly for the restoration of monarchy on the 6th of November. The National Assembly meets next Wed nesday. Tnr New York Sun says: At last we are to have from one of tho greatest of Southern Generals his account of the war. We refer to General Joseph E.

The Exposition a Crsnd Success Be. xond rcradtrnHirc. We spent several hours yesterday, in a critical surrey of the eperatiems of tho several managers and directors of our State Exhibition, and the numer trice of divers kinds already en the spot. It will not do to take the wind out of the sails of the enterprising exhibitors, by anticipating with any detailed descrip tion. the effect which their wonderful in- ventions and products will have upon the expectant public. Suffice it to any, in almost every branch and department of the Fair, the display already far exceeds anything of the sort ever collected in any Southern State. And yet each moment witnessed a constant processing of wag ons and drays laden with contributions of every ooooeivable nature, destined to figure in this grand array of the resources of onr beloved old Commonwealth. Scores of counties will be represented in a mag- nificcnt and varied assortment of fruits, flower*, vegetables, cereals, manufac tures, and works of art and vertu, which would do credit to the most refined na tion oo rorth. But it is conceded that tin- great struggle for the supremacy between them, will be narrowed down to the coun ties of Cobb and Bibb. Cobb has been in the field full fledged and ready, for several days, arriving with a long train of twenty care packed with the fruits of her industry. She has also a gallant display of blooded stock in the stalls and pen*, and has manifested admirable skill and tact in the arrange ment of her exhibition. Far every department a competent an- perintendent has been appointed. Firet, Mr. M. G. Whitlock acts as Gen eral Supervisor, and is assisted by Gen eral Win. Phillips, Superintendent of Manufactures; E. H. Lindley, Field Crops; A. S. Way, Homo Industry; E. Paine, Vegetables; A. B. Harden, Fruits; J. 8. Nichols, Fine Arts; J. A. Anderson, Homes; J. B. Blackwell, Cattle; B. Stripling, Hogs: G. W. Cleland, Poultry. Besides these. Messrs. J. W. Roper, Capt. A. P. Stanard and A. C. Higgle, the su perintendents of running and racing horses, have been on the ground for weeks, with their splendid stock in train ing under the charge of forty jockies and stablemen. For porsalAese, these gentle men desire to return special thanks to Mayor Huff, Captain Holt and all the managers of the Fair, for the courteous treatment and many civilities received at their hands. The gentle ladiee of Cobb, too, have turned out in strength to encourage and aid their husbands and lovers, in this friendly oontest for superiority in tho arts of p«aoe. They occupy the cottages on the ground, and are arranging most deftly the beautiful articles for exhibi tion, many of them the work of their own fair fingers. Nor was Bibb by any idle. Scores of fat teams were constantly arriving with the products of farm, dairy, orchard and loom, and her noble sons, pretty maidens, and gentle matrons were there, all diligently occu pied in displaying, with consummate taste and effect, the beautiful articles which skillful hands had fabricated at home. It was tur animating and most interesting scene. In the department of stock. Col. Alston, who is charged with its management, in formed us, that large aa had been the addition to the number of stalls, the de mand was greatly in excess of tho accom modations. Indeed, all the Bibb stock bad been ruled out, and oould only appear from the outside when called for. Of chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, etc., also, no display like that already bore has over been witnessed at the South. A hundred exultant chanticleers of every breed and name, perpetually crow de- fianoo to each other, and make the welkin ring with their clarion notes. This port of the exhibition alone, will richly repay the time and trouble of a visit to the Fair. But it ia useless longer to dwell in per spective upon that which will so soon be pleasing reality to thousands. We in vite the people of Georgia to come up to this grand exposition of their own might and skill, and can assure them that all tAe doors of Macon will be thrown wide open to receive them. In concluding these remarks we are forced to admire the wisdom of Mayor Huff and our City Council, in offering the magnificent premiums which grace the list of the present Fair, To them are owing this grand exhibition of poultry and blooded stock, and the creditable rivalry, and vast contributions of the counties competing for tho thousand dol lar prise. Indeed it has been demon strated that a few liberal premiums will do more to assure a successful Industrial Exposition, than double the sum cut up and sub-divided into a multitude of in significant prises. We trust our city will be crowded with the ladies and gentlemen, the farmers, mechanics, clergy, and scientists of Georgia, the present week. Let our peo ple eome together, compare notes, shake hands and then return to their homes, cheered and encouraged by what they have seen, and resolved to labor with in creased diligence to repair the ravages of war, and restore the former glories of their beloved Georgia.

Doubtless the great attractions and in teresting events of Fair week will induce a large number of the member* of the fourth estate to desert their sanctums and life of drudgery, to visit this annual carnival of the Empire State. We trust they will do so; and can only aay they shall find the latch of the Txlx- qruLTH office hanging on the outside, and within, a warm welcome awaiting them.

If we have broken lances with any of them in the jousts of jour nalism, the past is forgotten, and not the faintest trace of malice or antagonism remains. Personalities and vituperative lan guage indeed, are inexcusable in the in tercourse of brethren of the same ilk, and ought to be eschewed and tabooed. Pleasant badinage, the retort courteous, and a Rowland for an Oliver, none will object to, when administered in a proper .pint; more than this will impair, or de stroy that entente corjialo which is ao be coming in the representatives of the press—that Archimedean Ictct which moves the universe.

Shippers have received Urge orders from their rorresjiondents, but nxwt of the shiproenU were made from South ern ports, as the relative cheapness of cotton in those sections attracted the attention of buyers. difficult to negotiate, and in some instances the bill of lading bad to be delivered into the bands of the purchaser in order to consummate the sale.

[TRADE RARE REaiSTERSD.3 Four ytars ago our enterprising drug gists, lies xTa. Hu at, Rankin &. Lamar, in troduced into this section of the State the plan of Home-Made Manures, by sell ing to farmer* the strong chemical salts, which, when mixed with the lot or sta- ble manure, vegetable deposits, etc., to be had at hornet made a fertilizer which has proved very satisfactory, at a very small.cost. The first year their salei were quite small, being only some five or six thousand doll its. Tho next year the sales were much larger, and the last son, the subject was investigated and canvassed by nearly all of our planters, and the «de* were much larger than either former years. In fret the firm wav unable to supply the demand. Now that the crop is made, it must be a matter of congratulation to Messrs. Hunt, RanVin A Laniar, and to all friends of the fanner and agricul turist to know that the Home-Made Fertilizer has, in the face of a very disastrous season for fertilizers, come out with flying colors. A glance at the array of testimony (which might have been ten times as large) will show that it has in almost every instance proved as good or better than any of the high priced ma nures, at one-third to one-half the outlay. For the next season, Messrs. Hunt, Rankin A Lamar have associated with them Dr. P. R. Holt, of Fort Valley, who will have charge of tho manufactory, which will bo in a portion of Findlay's foundry, at the head of Third street. They will soon have their mill in operation, and will grind and mix the chemicals well together, which will be a decided advant age to the farmer in mixing. The cost of the chemicals to mako a ton of fertili ser will bo from $12 60 to $25 00 cash. Farmers who intend using this compound would do well to make their arrangements mand. These gentlemen have also for sale a large supply of all kinds of fertil izing material of best quality, which they will sell on most reasonable terms and guarrontee the standard. The advant ages in using this compound are obvious. It induces the saving of all the fertiliz ing elements about homo. It is superior to commercial manures, because it grad ually enriches the soil by restoring to it the powers which is being exhausted by the crops. A very important advantage is the great saving in actual outlay for material, for freights and for wagon transportation. As will bo seen below, these gentlemen made a fine show for their fertilizers. Their testimony is from some of the best men in the country: 1 used the Home-Made Fertiliser pound _ pound with Chinrha Island Guano and two liqrli priced manipulated guanos, and the Uome-Mado produced as much as either. Col. C. A. Hamilton. Jones county, I used this season 56 tons of Holt’s Home-Made Fertilizer, and 1 am so well pleased with it that I shall use it almost or quite exclusively next year. 1 applied it at the rato of 75 to 150 lbs. to the aero with satisfactory results. W. H. Felton, Marshalvilic. The chemicals purchased of you last spring were prepared and used as directed. I also used some of - and some of . A too of your Fer tilizer produced as much, if not .more than a ton of either of the others mentioned with less than half the cost. ^ ^ p u( | I used 15 tons Holt’s Home-Made Fertilizer this year and am well pleased with it; so much sothat I shall use it exclusively next year. Isaac Vinson, Crawford county, ir guano produced as well for me as the high priced mauijHuated manures, and 1 shall want it again next year. J. R. Hicks. Crawford county. I used several tons of Holt’s Home-Made Fer- . User on cotton, and never was better pleased with a fertiliser. T. T. Lyi>lk. Macon county. 1 used 20 tons of Holt’s Home-Made Fertiliser on my home place, and 50 tons on the plantations of J. W. Lathrop A Go. this season. For a number of rears 1 have been using the best commercial fertilisers in the market at a cost from $4 to 85 er acre, and 1 found yours at a cost of $150 to 2 50 per acre to be their equal in every respect; i tact I prefer it at same price, and of course shall so nothing else in future. Yours truly, L M. IIoi\sek. Houston county. I used your compound again this year and am so well pleased with it that 1-don’t think 1 shall use any other kind. Where I used 300 lbs. per acre I will make 2.000 lbs. of seed cotton per acre. I used it on turnips this year; they are the finest 1 ever saw. I think the farmers will be satisfied after this year’s trial that it is the best in use. Yours respectfully, J. P. McLXAN. Bartlesville, Ga. I used the Home-Made Fertilizer this year with the hot results on corn and cotton, in the same quantity per acre as 1 did one of the high priced manure*, and the advantage was entirely in favor of the Home-Made. I have so high an opinion of the merit* of the Fertilizer that I have decided to use it exclusively next year. Yours, Ac., Edward M. Dorset, Spalding county. I have used IS tons of your Fertilizer this season with renr favorable results, and it equals any of the standard manures that I have used heretofore. I am satisfied that with proper preparation and cultivation your Fertilizer will increase the yield lai-rely any year, and as conclusive evidence of the same, expect to use double the quantity this year. * Elbert Fagan. Houston county. I am well pleased with the Home-Made Fertil izer furnished hr you last spring. 1 used it by the side of one of the expensive commercial ma nures and no one can tell the difference in thcoot- ton. I applied 150 lbs. to the acre. Samuel Hart, Villa Rica, Carroll county. It affords me much pleasure to contribute this testimonial in favor of the merits of your Home- Made Fertilizer. After having used it I can con scientiously commend it to farmers as being the ^ leriiliztr they need. I planted it with three s high priced manipulated manures, and now during the second picking it is plain that the “Home-Made’* is as good as any*of the others. ' e 7. OA Miller, Sunny Side. I used Holt's $16 Fertilizer by composting with rich earth and cotton seed. I think it is the best preparation for the price that I hare ever used. One of my neighbors used the same on corn, and says it is much better than cotton seed alone, also much cheaper. Yours truly, V. B. Warren. No. 2. S. W. R. R.

Henry £. Williamson. Griffin. I used this year on the plantation of Col. W. J. Anderson. 14 tons of Holt’s $16 Fertilizer, and link it decidedly better than the manipulated tano that 1 used. J. F. Lowe. Houston county. I used the Home-Made by the side of one of the expensive manures and can see little or no differ ence in the yield. J. T. Cooper, Houston county. I used 5 tons Holt’s Home-Made Fertilizer this year and think it compares favorably with any of the high priced manipulated guanos. I shall use it eidusirely next rear. L. Blcstee. Crawford county. I have used your Home-Made Fertilizer now two years and am fully aattofled it has paid me well. It lias proven to be as good as any other fer tilizer I ever used, and I ex pt-ct to use it altogether hereafter. James M. Sptrlin, Fayette county. I used 6 tons of Holt’s Home-Made Fertilizer- four on cotton and two on com—and am fully sat isfied that it is eqmd to the best guano used in this country, and superior to many cf them.

Tnos. J. Patillo, Albany, Ga. THE GEORGIA PRESS. Columbus had good rains Friday. The following is from the Columbus Enquirer of Friday: Suicide by a Boy—Two Columbus Boys Run Away from Home and Stabt fob Texas—Their Capture—One De termines to Die Rather than Return ■A Sad Story.—On Thursday afternoon last, at about 3 o’clock, after the close of the Pablic Schools, Charles Terry, aged sixteen years (though quite small for his age), son of Dr. Carlisle Terry, and Ed die Averitt, about the same age, son of Mr. David Averitt, merchant, left the city afoot with tho intention of taking the night train at Salem, Ala., and making their way to Texas. It was a strange adventure, and. a long and fatiguing walk for boys of their years; but they reached Salem in time to board the night accommodation train on the Western Railroad, which passed there about 10 p. m. After their parents had discovered that the boys had ■absconded they saw the various railroad conductors, notified them of the affair and gave directions to have the boys ar rested and brought back. Acting in accordance with these instructions, Mr. George Hughes, conductor on the Western railroad, when he had reached oalem, allowed tho boys to get aboard, and said nothing about his instruc tions until reaching Opelika. There the conductor stepped from his train, noti fied a policeman of the state of the case, and requested him to arrest the boys and return them to their parents. After tho police man had made the arrest and put ihe boys on the return train, “Eddie,” said Charlie, “they have caught us.” Charlie answered, “Yes, they have caught usout this time, but this is not the only chance we will have to get away.” He also inti mated that he would not return alive, which threat, it seems, he had previously made while on the tramp to Salem. A little after 12 o'clock, while the train was yet standing on the track at Opelika, a young man, who had to go out for some cause, handed his pistol to tho policeman in charge of the boys, and requested him to keep it until he returned. The officer, after holding it awhile, laid it down on the seat, which, Charlie noticing, asked: “Is that a good pistol?” The officer re plied he thought it was. Charlie then said, “Letme seo it,if you are not&fraid.” The policeman, telling him he was not afraid, handed the weapon to the boy. In almost an instant after getting the pistol in his hand, Charlie put the muzzle to his right temple, and with his thumb 'lulling the trigger sent the contents : hrough his brain, the ball lodging against the opposite side of the skull, from which death ensued in less than ten minutes, the boy breathing his last about twenty minutes after twelve o'clock. His body brought back and reached here about s[j^Ue^[n equal qoantltiei with one oif the expen- bank notes is about to solve itself.
