We cannot (dose our report without noticing some
very meritorious Paintings, which wore ‘xhibited and
not named in the premium list, and for which we can
not grant premiums.
A set of European Oil Painting, by Dr Wm Terrell,
Hancock county. The exhibition of such pictures ought
certainly to promote and improve public taste in the
fine arts, and engender lofty aspirations in our native
Artists.
A beautiful Penciling, by Miss F Parker, Columbus,
Female figure in Eastern Costume.
Also, The Merry Wives of Windsor, by Miss E H
Nisbet, Midway, Baldwin county.
A lot of Pen, Pencil and Crayon Drawings, by the
Cadets Georgia Military Institute, Marietta, ‘• e cannot
pass without honorable mention, as they evince decided
artistic skill.
The Voyage of Life, Oil Painting, by Narcis.-a Boy
kn, of Columbus, we find the most superior in pointed’
color and execution, and we would give a premium if
in our power.
The View of Trenton Falls, by Mias Sarah Hail, Au
gusta, we consider well worthy of notice, the coloring
being particularly good.
The small painting of St. John, by Miss N J Clark
of Worcester, Mass., displays merited taste and beauty
of execution.
The painting of a child, by Charles Beruff, Augusta, 1
is very beautiful, and highly creditable to the Artist.
We commend with great pleasure the success of the
young and talented artist Robert Boggs, of Augusta, for
nis pictures of Van Dyke, Calhoun, and himself. The
coloring, expression, and position given to Van Dyke
are excellent.
We cannot speak too highly of the Miniature Paint
ings of Es S Dodge, Augusta, they display much talent
in this department of the Art.
A fine lot of Daguerreotypes. 33 faces, were exhibited
by Isaac ‘Pucker, Augusta, showing much skill and

MACHINERY.
The Judge- on Machinery had the foregoing arti
cles presented for their inspection, and regret that but
for a single, one of them, a premium had been offered
by the Society. This they deplore, and would respect
fully suggest ihat hereafter, in addition to specific pre
miums in each particular industrial department, there
be a land placed at the disposal of the Judges, so that
meritorious articles, of whatsoever ch racter, maapbc
secured some tangible mark of appreciation.
The Steam Engine lor agricultural purpose . submit

The Portable Grist Mill of A B. Miller, of Bibb

perceiving in it no new or improved principle, a pre

The Portable Circular Saw Mill (Child’9 patent) ex
hibited by H Stephens, of Greene county, was not in
operation, but is doubtless a very valuable machine.
A model of improved method of drawing water, by
A B Packard oi Richmond county, promises to be a
1 very useful invention.
Mr. A Brdfcn, ot Walker county, Ga., exhibited a
1 model ot a Book Binder’s Press, model of two horse
, powers, slightly yarient from each other; and alsospe
i ciniens ot Iron Castings from the Dalton Manufactur
ing company. liis models all display genius, and one
ot his horse powers, that with stationary wheel, is, in
the opinion of the Committee, a valuable invention.
I he Castings from the Dalton Manufacturing Compa
ny are very superior, indeed, the best which the com
mittee have seen.
Osborne &. Gray, ot Augusta, also exhibited some
very good Castings.
A Percussion and Reaction Water Wheel, invented by

and in its simplicity and cheapness, destined, the com- i
mittee think, to become a highly important improve- !
ment.
There was also on exhibition a model of a stationa- !

Door Yards.—The following opinion of Hon.
Josiah Quincy, Sen., upon the subject is worthy
of attention:
In viewing the farm we stop at the door ; far
be it from me to enter, for where neatness and
economy reign without, the husband seldom
fails to be seconded by his companion within.
But how is the path ? Is it a pavement inlaid
with broken crockery and abandoned utensils of
household furniture ? Do the thistle, the brier,
and the wormwood contend for the mastery
along the fence? Are the poultry roosting up
on the window silis, the geese strutting at the
frontdoor, or the pig playing with the puppy in
the entry ? Ttie proprietor of such an abode
may call himself a fanner, but practically speak
ing, he is ignorant of the a, b, c, of the art, for
the first three letters of the farmer’s alphabet
are neatness, economy and order.

Upborn® by Angels in a world of sorrow—
In other’s anguish losing half her own—
So taught by grief that darkened soals might borrow
Their light of sunshine from her lips alone.

And upward glance, betray her heavenly birth ;
Yet ling’ring still right ’mid the dull world’s minions
I o win some waud’rer from the ills of earth.
Oh, fair in form, and lily-pure in spirit!
Heaven-watched, yet humble in thine upward way!
Oh, such as thou, are they who shall inherit
The strength and triumph of a better day.
October, 1853. t. H.
The following pathetic lines were written by the

Link by link, the chain is length’ning
In that Angel Band above ;
Year by year the cords are st ength’ning,

Step by step our feet are tending
Down the narrow vale of years ;
On, to where the hill’s ascending
Lead from death to higher sphere.
Late, amid the bright Savannahs, —
’Neath a golden tropic-sun,

Know ye not those eyes still m Idly
Beam with Loye, unchang’d by Death ?
Draw the mist veil from thy vision,

Then, from yonder fair elysian,
Would ye call back him ye love ?

1 LOVE THEE.
I love thee, dearly love thee,
As the floweret loves the dew,
As the moonbeams love the billow
Swelling beautiful and blue.
As the rainbow loves the cloudlet
That lies slumbering in the air—
O,yes, I love thy sunny brow,
Forever bright and fair.
In sunshine and in darkness,
In sorrow and in care—
In festive hall or silent grove—
I love thee everywhere.
’Mid thorns or fragrant flowers,
In sadness or in glee,
Thy pure unsullied countenance
Is ever bright to me.
I love thee, wildly love thee,
And 1 would tiiis sentence brief
Were written with the crystal dew
Upon each tender leaf.
I would that it were murmured
By the laughing meadow streams—
That it might dwell in all thy thoughts,
And ail thy glowing dreams.
I would that every happy bird
On every bush and tree
Would sing it to thee softly,
Vet with warble wild and free.
I would that every zephyr
That comes from o’er the lea
Would bear upon its bosom
Those burning words to thee.
Crazy People.— Miss Dix, the philanthropist,
states that among the crazy people with whom
her sacred missions have brought her into com
panionship, she has not found one individual,
however fierce and turbulent, that could not be
calmed by Scripture and prayer, uttered in low
and gentle tones. The power of religious sen
timents over those shattered souls seems mirac
ulous. The worship of a quiet, loving heart,
affects them like a voice from heaven. Tearing
and rending, yelping and stamping, singing and
groaning, gradually subside iuto silence, and
they fall on their knees, or gaze upwards with
clasped hands, as if they saw through the open
ing darkness a golden gleam from their Fathers
throne of love.
Misuse of Leisure. — The chief source of the
many evils which corrupt the youth of ourcom
munity, is the misuse of leisure time. It is in
the hours of recreation, or when unemployed,
that children indulge in vicous practices. The
remedy, therefore, lor the evils which flow from
teis source, will only be found in furnishing the
young with agreeable amusements, of an inno
cent character. As things now exist, most “
the amusements of the young are of a pernicious
tendency. But the evil influences of these
amusements are not always inherent but more
frequently the result of associations.—Biz
zarre.
A Pleasing Incident at. the Fair. —We un
derstand that on Thursday last, Col. Davidson,
the Chairman of the Executive Committee, an
thorized Mr. John S. Hutchinson, the auctioneer,
that iie would give a Silver Cup to the best
looking Child, of fourteen months, of native
growth, exhibited on Friday. Well, Fridav
came, and the auctioneer mounted his rostrum,
and announced that he was ready to receive com
petitors. A young daughter of Mr. Robert
Glover, one of the Course, was placed in his
arms, who with youthful simplicity, after a little
fondling, became friendly, and placing her tinev
arms around his neck, not only captivated him
(for bear in mind re..der that he has none of the
same sort himself,) but all present, both male
and female. After crying (no not crying, but
asking) if there was any more competitors on
the ground, the little one still clinging affection
ately to him, he announced that she had taken
the premium, and presenting it to her while in
his arms, it seemed as much delighted with its
new present as any one on the ground. We
did not see the scene, but the auctioneer assures
us he will have no objections to its repetition,
provided he has one of the same sort to exhibit
himself, at the next Fair, —Augusta Constitution

Letter of Secretary Guthrie.
The following letters of secretary Guthrie
need no comment:
Saturday Morning, Oct. 22.
Str : Recently I directed a letter to Collector
Bronson and other officers of the customs in the
city of New York.
Bv some means an imperfect copy ofthat letter
purporting to have been communicated from
New York by telegraph was published in one of
the papers of this city.
This rendered it proper for me to give the pub
lic a correct copy ; and upon the ground of that
publication under such circumstances, Collec
tor Bronson published his long delayed reply
even belore the original reached me.
Under these circumstances, 1 deem it proper
to transmit to you for publication the enclosed
l et,er - Very respectfully,
JAMES GUTHRIE.
Washington, Oct. 22.
Sir : I have received your letter . the 17th
instant
It is not my purpose to respond to the many
positions of that letter, because most of them
bear their contradiction upon its face, and oth
ers are too unimportant to require refutation ;
and also because, wbilein several phrases of it,
admitting your implied obligation, as a man of
hon ir, to act in accordance with the known
policy of the administration, ard, moreover, re
cognising the propriety and jns’ice ofthat poli
cy by declaring that you yourself deprecated and
endeavored to prevent the divisioi s row exist
ing in the democratic party in your State, you
nevertheless indulged in a tenor of remarks as
to the various relations of the subject “ hich not
only impugns my motives, but indicates an atti
tude on your part wholly incompatible with har
monious co-operation between us, and the prop
er conduct of the business of the government.
One suggestion a; pears in your letter which
demands animadversion. You allege, bv im
plication, that I have desired you to appoint
freesoilers lo office, and ill doing so, you strange
ly misunderstand or misinterpret mv letter of
the 3d inst. I neither entertained nor expressed
any such desire. It has been my pileasure and
my duty, not to inquire into the opinions which
may have been held by yourself and others as
far back as the year 1848, but to regard the
claims to consideration of all who have acted
with fidelity to the principles and organization
of the democratic party since the convention at
Baltimore in 1852 and those only. And with
these views, I must condemn your course when
in this letter you inform me that you have selec
ted freesoilers for office without having given me
the notice of the fact, which would have euabled
me to withhold my approbation from any such
appointments. 1 will add, that the imputation
that 1 have required you to act with reference
to controversies of a local or State character, is
wholly gratuitous. My letter was intended to
guard you against distinctions between demo
crats, founded upon local politics and local di
visions.
The concluding portion of your letters has
left me no alternative but to lay the whole mat
ter before the President, and take bis direc..on
concerning it.
You assume that in relation to certain things
you are to receive instructions from this depart
ment, and in others that you are to proceed
without, or contrary to, such instructions. This
cannot be admitted in any branch of the public
service ; for where the department is not express
ly empowered to give instructions to subordi
nates, it has the authority to do so, as inherent
in the power to remove a refractory officer.
You also assume that you are to appoint the
various persons emvloyed in the custom-house
—some, as you admit, subject to my approval,
and others, as you seem to conceive, on your
sole authority. I cannot but regard it as sin
gular that a gentleman ofyour legal acquire
ments and experience should have fallen into
such error. The constitution of the United
States has empowered Congress to confer the
appointment of inferior officers “in the P*psi
dent alone, in the courts of law, or in H, leads
of departments.” Congress has no, nt- upted.
nor, if it had. could it have effect iv modi
fication of this provision of the cousti.ution.

custom house do, both by the com- .tion and
the laws derive their appointment and their au
thority as public officers from the Secretary of
the Treasuary alone.
What the language and temper of your letter
would have rendered embarrassing these unwar
lantahle assumptions, marked as they are by a
manifest spirit of insubordination, render impos
sible—namely, your continuance in the office of
collector of the district of New York. 1 am,
therefore, directed by the Pre3i- ent to say that
your successor in the office will be promptly
appointed.
I have the honor to be, very resoectfully,
JAMES GUTHRIE.

A printer is the most curious being liv
ing. He may have a hank and coins, ami not
be worth a penny—have small caps, and have
neither wife nor childred. Others may run fast,
but he gets along swift, setting fast. He may
be making impressions without eloquence, may
use lye. without offending, and be telling the
truth; while others cannot stand when they sit,
he can set standing, and even do both at the
same time— use furniture and yet have no dwel
ling—may make and put away pi, and never
see a pie, much less eat during his life—be a hu
man being and a rat at the same time—may
press a great deal and not ask a favor—may
handle a shootingiron, and know nothing about
a cannon, gun or pistol; he may pull the lever
that moves the world, and yet be as far from
moving the globe as a hog with his nose under
a mould hill—spreads sheets without being a
housewife; he may lay his form upon a bed,
and yet be obliged to sleep on the floor; he may
use the f without shedding blood, and from the
earth he may handle the *** —he may be of a
rolling disposition and never desire to travel;
he may have a sheep’s foot, and not be deformed;
never he without a case, and know nothing of
law or physic; be always correcting his errors
and growing worse every day; have
without ever having the arms of a lass around
him; have his form locked up, and at the same
time be free from jail, watch-house, or any ot
her confinement.- Ex.
03” During the imperial visit of the Emperor

executioner. The relic is held in veneration ia
