The State Fair—Reporter*.
The Atlanta American —which seems
to be something of a guardian of the
interests of everything about Atlanta,
in reply to our allusion to the lack of
Utilities for reporters, says :
•We do not know what facilities our
would have. It certainly
is not the business of the Secretary to
furnish pen's ink and paper, or to pay
escorts to do the agreeable to gentle
men of the Press.
It certainly should be the business of
somebody to see that those who visit
the grounds as reporters, are furnished
with the information they seek, for it
is the especial interest of the Associa
tion to be faithfully represented in the
papers. Oneof the editors of the Amer
ican was on some of the committees, and
thereby had a chance to gain informa
tion in reference to the articles on ex
hibition. But out of half a dozen oth
er papers, whose editors were there,
none save the Dispatch attempted to
give even a meagre outline of the at
tractions of the Fair Grounds—and the
officers of the society were so busy that
editors were often repulsed wnen they
presumed to ask questions in view of
reporting. We, therefore, say that one
or too committee men to ‘'do the agree
able to gentlemen of the press" is just
what is needed, and would do more
than anything else to bring the Fair
■up to the standard it should maintain
as a State Association.

We have been requested by Mr Free
man', to publish the following letter
from Br. Coi.lixs, in reference to the
award of premiums at the late State
Fair:
Macox, Oct. 27,1858.
W. 11. Freeman, Esq — Dear Sir Asa
member of the Executive Committee of
the State Fair at Atlanta, the depart
ment of fine arts fell to my especial
charge, and among the paintings there
exhibited, was a portrait of Col. Loch
rane, painted by yourself, which was
considered a very superior work, and
fully entitled,to the highest premium
ullowed to that class ; and a premium
was awarded to it, and so entered on
the. list, by me, before I left Atlanta,
and if you did not receive it, there must
have been some error, or mistake, after
1 left. Yours.
Rob't Collins.
[COMMUNICATED.]
Tlie Supreme Conn.
Me. Editor :—I am neither a lawyer
nor the son of a lawyer, but in the
simplicity of my heart, I have always
looked upon the establishment of the
Supreme Court as a piece of supreme
stupidity, and if my foresight is not
dimmed, I think I hazzard nothing
when I say that it will not be very long
ere the people will begin to think as I
do. Will any friend of the Court be
pleased to state how many errors have
been corrected by this tribunal ' I
mean cases in which all parties acknowl
edged the justness of its decrees—as
far 83 I have heard the expression of
an opinion, it has ever been, that when
het gaining party below were sustained
above, the losing party below thought
the Supreme Court didn’t understand
the case ; and if I were to express an
opinion, I would say, just as apt as not,
the Court of Errors made the mistake,
and not the judge, whose decision was
reversed. And why not’ are not the
many as li ible to err as the one ? Have
we not known corporations to commit
grave errors, which have been after
wards corrected by one man ?
l’rominent among the objections, I
Rave to this Court, I would particularly
cite to its operation in the criminal ca
ses. Previously to its creation the
accused had every privilege that a good
code of laws saw proper to give him,
in legal talent, jury and judge. If with
all these, he was convicted, there was
no evading the penalty, unless legisla
tive interposition came to his assistance,
but now, perhaps, on a mere technical
ity, the case is taken up, a new trial is
granted, acquittal follows, and the
m rrderer goes free. Such will be tbe
case with Cobb, one of the murderers
of Landrum, for the least that the Su
breme Court should have anything to
do with it, which it will, if reports are
to be creditted
If the object of the establishment of
this Court was to put a stop to litiga
tion, it has failed—if to correct the er
rors of our Superior Court Juges, it has
failed—if it has failed in those two
things, it has failed altogether, and in
my humble opinion, tbe sooner it be
abolished, the better it will be for all
parties concerned. Jure.

What I Heaid Among (he Flowers.
1
JET LVLA.
The mock-biid calling at my window
had awakened me early, and throwing
off the drowsy spell of slumber, I de
■ scended from my chamber to enjoy the
freshness of the morning. Night’s
s foot-prints still lingered in the vallies,
as she retreated before the lustrous
Day, find the shadows of her 6able
’ wings hovered darkly in the glens,
f Soon, however, the gray dawn parted
in the east, gleaming spears shot up
r from the horizon, clouds of pink and
j purple fringed with gold, floated away
3 on their airy pinions, and Earth rejoic
f ed in the smiles of her bun God. Tbe
. birds sung more thrilling anthems, and
the hills blushed with rosy light be
f Death his greeting kiss.
Twus early spring time. The woods,
: still under dominion of the Frost King,
' were brown and sere, save here and
t there where a tree had broken through
- his icy fetters and donned Us emeraled
robes and floral gems, while the greater
portion were yet quite bare—stretching
out their long weird arms imploringly
* to the fair Goddess, to give them also
- summer vestments and jewels. But in
. many spots the ground was radiant
. with the sheen of flowers, and velvety
moss banks liroidered with violets and
' daisies, told eloquently of the genial
5 hours coming on apace.
I had wended my steps to a familiar
; haunt by a merry brook-side, and half
j reclined on a luxurious turf-enshion.
and against a silver beechen trunk.--
, The sky was soft and pearly pure, with
1 no cloud to blot its bright expanse,
• save a few feathery curls of vapor, sail
- ing slowly with majestic grace, like
[ snowy swans on the blue element.—
The sun had by this time advanced
considerably on his way, but the sea
-1 son was not yet late enough for his
i beams to be oppressive; but instead,
teeming with soft, voluptuous warmth,
wooing one to repose and dreams.
I looked out on a fairy nook from
"my rustic bower. A romantic dell
r shut in by soaring hills, and picturcs
] que cliffs mottled with gray and golden
green lichens ; lofty spreading trees
with bowers gracefully swaying in the
wind, the ground brightening beneath
' the touch of spring’s magic wand, and
> the crystal brook singing with a voice
1 of gladness over its pebbly bed. Sud
s deniy the place seemed to become
stiangely quiet! Tbe twitter of birds
’ was bushed, the melody of murmuring
■ waters ceased, the stirring breeze sank
into the faintest zephyr, and a moment
of deathlike silence prevailed. Then,
observing great agitation among tbe
F flowers, and seeing them nod towards
. one another and flutter their delicate
petals, I bent forward with attentive
ear and caught these words in the tini
est possible notes of music :
“Do you not rejoice, sweet Daisy,
that the bright spring and warm sun
shine have come again ? Oh ! how
r dark and cold was our long, loug win
. ter sleep!’’
It was the Anemone that spoke, and
; lifting its bright little head, the Daisy
thus replied :
“ Ah, surely I rejoice to he free from
my dreary prison, to live again in this
1 sparkling light, to feel the balmy breath
f of tbe gentle air roeking me in mv
mossy home, and to have the voices of
regenerated nature swelling in fervent
‘ praise to our glorious Kesurrector. But
e I shudder to think of the dismal night
. of death from which we have so lately
risen. I wonder, dear Wind flower,
8 could yours have been so horrible as
1 mine? Oh! the agony!”—and her
i dainty head bowed as she ceased, her
slender stalk quivering as with great
emotion.
1 “ 0 yes, indeed ! I'm sure it was,”
, says Anemone, “if not more so. Let
, me tell you of my fair summer life and
dreadful winter death, and then you
r may judge of the difference between our
suffering. My first rememberauce isi
that I was snugly wrapped up in soma .
leaves and lying close under the side
of a friendly tree root. I was then but'
a tiny brown seed quietly dreamiug the
hours away, never caring or knowing
of change, But osc day u blessed sun
beam stole down to my Cell and told me
of the beautiful things above ground,
and bade me come up also, aud enhance,
the glory of the earth by the loveliness j
which would be bestowed upon me.—
He said the way would be gloomy andj
rough at first, and I would thirst for;
water; but I need not fear, for he
would smooth my path, and send the
elouds, his water bearers, to give me
: drink. So I hastened to send forth my |
, tender shoots, and erept steadily up tiie j
dark road till I would sometimes pant
from thirst and chill. But quickly a
ray of warmth would descend into un
frozen heart, and a drop of moisture in-;
spire my drooping spirit with hope andj
strength. After a time, I approached
so near the surface that I could see the
bright blue sky; but the cool wind
was sharp to my young brow, and afraid
to venture farther, I lay still just under
the crisp, dry leaves. However, this j
was not my destination, for presently
the sunbeam came, and comforting ine ;
by his genial presence, led nre forth to
the light where I found numbers of my i
sisters already awaiting me. O! how
lovely everything appeared, and with
what delight I felt myself expanding
into delicate green leaves like my com j
panions, and watched the unfolding of
my grossamer petals.
How I exulted in the joy and beauty i
of my new existence! Proudly I erect
ray purple stem, spread out my leaves,j
and expanded my corrolla to woo the
amorous breeze and refreshing dews.—
Other flowers sprang up around me, j
and life was sweet to them as me. We j
were a happy group, and loved each!
other very much. Every day we would
nod and smile, and tell our happiness to
each other, and chant in unison ouri
hymns of praise. And thus the blissful,
hours of spriog sped on. But we knew!
the ardent summer days were drawing
near, when we must lose our bloom.—|
This was a great sorrow, but we were
not dismayed; for our beauteous robes
of green would Btiil be left us; the
sunbeam would not withdraw bis cheer
ful influence ; soft gales would lull us
to dreams when the dragon wing of
night brooded near, and the music of
flowing waters would yet charm us with
their spell. So we lifted up our hearts
and lived again long months of glad
ness.
“ But the Summer King passed away
with his reign of pleasures, and Au
tumn usurped his throne and wielded
the sceptre. Earth now put off her se
rene, peaceful air, and assumed the fea
tures of whirlwind and commotion.—
Strange flowers of richer, gaudier hues
grew-up around us, and tints of purple,
crimson and gold began to fleck the
leaves of the trees. Royaliy did the
conqueror march his armies into the
fair realm of Summer. He .painted the
• vallies in most brilliant dyes, and man
tled the mountains in splendor. He
hung the woods with dazzling tapes
tries. and mirrored on the waters, shier
c of deepest sapphire. His gay bannerr
S waved from every height, and triumph
' al winds shouted his conquests on the
e plains, and pealed in tones of grahdem
8 through the forest aisles. Locioiis
• fruits crowned his sumptuous hoard.
s bacchanalian cheer flowed in upon him
e from tlie vintage, and merry was ;h(
Autumn King in his magnificence ami
1 opulence. But a sad change was tc
P come. Old Winter stalked through
-i the land with his boisterous train o1
f sleet and snow, storms and rain, ana
• toppled the “merrie monarch” from
e his seat of power. The woods were di
' vested of their bright garments anti
moaned piteously as the rude blasts
tore them away, anti scattered them
. abroad. The nrusie of the streams was
■ bound in frozen chains, and the little
J plants grew wan and sere. I, too, war
1 doomed to desolation, and must sink
I into the damp, dismal grave I Ixuiti
r weeks of darkness and terror rolled by.
? and still tire storms beat above my head,
T and raged wildly through the land.—
0 Long weeks 1 lay in anguish; my life
II blood turned to veins of ice, and mj
1 heart a frozen mass. But blest be the
f loving sunbeam which woke me agnir,
1 to life and joy as at first.”
1 •‘Truly, Anemone. yourß has been a
hard fate,” said the Daisy, "bat lean
r sympathise with you in al! your sad ex
f | perience. I have also passed through
•: all the scenes of pleasure and toils oi
- addiction that you have depicted. Bui
r|a hitter disappointment was mine,
. j which you escaped, and I cannot repose
- that sweet faith in the wily sunbeam
- that you do: for he sorely deceived me.
- Creeping down into my narrow tomb,
i he breathed warmth and animation in
■ to my frozen limbs, an 1 melted my
s congealed heart. Tenderly he wound
i his golden rays about me, and said that
. I must wake again to life and beauty.
I Mo buoyantly 1 sprang above the sod.
>, and was entranced to drink in the glo
-1! rious sunshine once more. Bnt in a lit
-; tie while the sunbeam forsook me, and
>! hid himself behind a frowning cloud. —
3j Fiercely old Boreas swept by in his
■ I wrath and smote me to the ground.—
1 The Fro6t King, too, poured out his ter
-1 ror. and my fragile buds lay blighted
‘ and bleeding on the earth, for Spring’s
■ advent was not yet.”
:j There was a momentary pause,
> and the Violet, who had hitherto le
! mained a silent listener, now meekly
-. raised her gentle eyes and thus ox
t claimed :
. J I grieve to hear you speak so harsh
■ Jy of the sunbeam, dear Daisy, for he
i is our best friend. Do not think that
' he crept into your winter abode to al
ii lure you to rise too early. Your own
■ impatient heart deceived you. The
sunbeam’s mission was bnt to comfort
you, and assure you that happy free
■ dom would again be yours. How un ■
’: giatefuliy you remember his kind
• ness.”
t-." I never viewed his visit in that
1' light before,” answered the rebuked
’ I Daisy, ‘‘and I am sorry if I have
i wronged him by unjustly judging of
i; his motives. But 1 am not as cliaiita
-3 ble asyou, good Violet, who never had
i , harsh thought in your life.”
;; ‘‘l dare say,” spoke up the Anemone,
f j “ that you never had the hard fortunes
t to battle with that we have, Violet, or
t j else you could excuse us.”
tj “You are much mistaken, Ancmo
< j ne ; I have endured the same hardships
■ that you both have, and though hi.ter
• to my soul, I did not murmur ; but pa
' tiently awaited the coming of my
' time.”
■■ What a good lesson you teach,kind
Violet! Learn me of thy gentleness
j and forbearance,” and the Daisy lov
ingly leaned toward the purple cluster.
■■. Men call me the blue eyed messen
ger of God,” replied the Violet, “ and
’ say I speak to them of Heaven, and
“point to the mercy and glory of cur
great Creator. As the emblem of faith,
I tell theta of resurrection from death
and decay. They love me . r or modesty,
and my cheerfulness teaches them to
:be content with their lot. And now,
, Daisy, of what use are you ? We are all i
| designed for some wise purpose;!
and you have your office to perform.” |
j Just at this moment a proud Haw-j
j thorn spray swaying by, heard the Vio- ’
• let’s question, and exclaimed :
| “ What ! that little innocent of use?
, I should like to know what it is. Why,
she does nothing in the world but
laugh away h:r time with flaunting
: butterflies which are always flitting
j about her. Use indeed !”
At these harsh words, the mortified j
Daisy hung her head, and seemed rea
dy to die with shame. Bnt the Violet,
ever ready todo good,came to her rescue
. and mildly said :
i ” Nay Hawthorn, you are unjust.-
■ What you cite as a waste of time, isre
i ally her vocation. And yon do not deem ;
it useless to minister the happinessi
of God's creatures do you ? But the!
Daisey does this in other ways than by I
! delighting the butterflies. She is one
j of the earliest flowers that gladden the ,
earth after the desolation of winter,and!
many a cold, weary wanderer is cheered
!by her promise of the warm summer
. days. She shrinks not from the mourn
‘ ful grave yard,but flustering with star
j ry radiance above the dreamless slum
i berers, she whispers to the bereaved of
, the re-union in the world beyond, and
i tells the glad story of the new and
more perfect life in the Better Land ”
“ All that may be very true and very
well,” rejoined the Hawthorn some
what disconcerted, ” but who shall de-
I clare that my mission is less beautiful
J than the one you have just painted !
;Am I not the emblem of Hope, that
i immortal boon given to man to inspire
j him to aim for a higher, nobler life—to
' lead him from the grovelling earth to
j walk the fields oi Light, and to coin
mune with angels ? And what glad-
I some service 1 perform beside ! 1 deck
| the festive hall, and crown the Queen
iof May. My glowing branches illume
the wood and lade the air with fra
grance, and with a murmcr of delight
the brook clasps the image of my spray
in her glassy bosom. Ha ! Anemone,
what Slyest thou for thyself ?”
In low, tremulous tones she answer
ed, “ I rejoice the heart of the early
flower seeker, even as the Violet and
Daisy. I stir the Poet’s soul with a
nameless thrill, who loves to sit by my
side in solitary places to gaze on my
beauty, and watch the zephyrs dally
with my golden hair and flutter my sil
ken petals. Hence he calls me Wiud
fiower.”
_ A rustle among the dry leaves a little
distance apart caused the flowers to
turn towards a Sweet William about to
speak. His rich perfume was delicious
as it floated out on the air, and, eager
to bear what lie had to say, I bent near
er, when at that instant the shrill uote,
>'of some feathered intruder sounded
• from the branches above me- the breeze
j rushed along, and the babbling brook
- was no longer quiet. The spell *a«
; i broken—the flowers mute !
i j Returning home, my mind often re
• j verted to what 1 had heard from tiiose
> silent, yet most eloquent monitors of
r 'the wood, and I pondered long on their
s' gentle teachings. How typical of the
, life of man, I thought, are these fair,
i ! frail creatures of a day. Even as they
i .spring up from the dust of the earth,
1 jso came we into the world, and like
>j theirs, our spring time of life is a iong
r‘season of brightness and beauty. Then
f comes our summer time, the waning of
J our freshness and vigor—the dropping
, j off of our pleasures. Like them too, we
- i have our winter tide of sorrow and woe,
I j but which, by the grace of the merci
s!ful Oneisswept away from our souls,
i and the sunshine of love that warms
s them into a new existence, also drives
a the darkness from out spirits' sky, and
S our hearts bloom again with joy and
t gladness. Then came the sad reflection
r that we are too prone to mistrust and
’ wrongfully accuse our best friends, as
’ the Daisy did the sunbeam. But like
. the Violet, there is always some kind
. reprover of our thankless errors, and it
/ is well, else discontent, ingratitude and
; discord would madly riot in unrestrain
i edfreedom, and''white-winged Peace”
! hover not over out homes.

I DIAL. The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
j has lost the power of duly converting food into a
\ j iife-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
j j course of Ibis extraordinary tonic. The gastrin
j j fluid rc acquires its solvent power, and the crude
, 1 nutriment, which wasa load and a burthen to
| ’ the sufferer, w hile his digestive organisation was
1 paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created iu the system, the 1
r 1 basis of activity, strength and heal: l -
( j The nervous.sufferer, while tormented by the
|! acute, physical agony oi Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
: | or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
i rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with

■ terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of!

or disability arising from the upnaturalcondition .

from the use cfthlß Cordial, which at once calms.

tfor&e-d InvigCrat'ng Elixir has a direct. :m

While it renews the strength of tho digestive
powers it creates a desire for the s r, l:d material
which is to be subjected to their action. As an
I appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
I Iflonglile and the vigor necessary to its en.
jovmcnt are desirable, this medicine is indeed of
j precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to cither
;exor to auy age. The feeble girl, the aiiing
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
man of business, the victim of nervous depres-
I aion, the individual suffering from general dc
j bility or from tho weakness ol a single organ
j willuil find immediate aud permanent relief from
the use of this incomparable renovator. To
those who have *a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
! against that terrible m ilady. There are many
perhaps who have so trifled with “heir constitu
tion that they think themselves beyord the reach
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re*
lereuce to the causes, and will not only remove
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con
