(% H craft.; CIIAS. GK BBARCE, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR THOMASTON, GA., AUG. 13,1870. We have noticed after an examination of the papers from various parts of the State, that a majority of the counties have organ ized Agricultural Societies. There is no possible reason why our rich and populous Upson should not be enterprising as her sisters, in such a matter as this. We are surprised that no effort has been made, or if made ha? not been successful, to estab lish a society. We cannot believe this failure is to be attributed solely to lack of interest, but rather ascribe it to a want of conserted action in a very great measure. A few men of energy could casi'y set in motion such a movement, and when once started, very little effort would suffice to carry it forward to successful completion. The annual fair of the State Agricultural Society is to be held in Atlanta, on the 10th of October next, and on the 25th of the same month the Agricultural Congress is to assemble in the city of Augusta. In view of these events it certainly seems ad visable that we of this county should take the matter of the organization of an Agri cultural Society or Club into consideration. Let us not be too far behind counties not more favored than ourselves. Will not the people give some public expression to their views on this subject? Farmers, talk with your neighbors and interest them in the matter, and let us see if we cannot effect this object. SHAVINGS. A Californian is betting that General Sherman will be the next President.

Washington, D. C., 0, 1870. napclfon’s peace roucr.—THE MILITANT j ASTECT. The repeated struggles at the point of the bayonet to which the French Emperor lias resorted to maintain hi* dynasty. wr-u!d | seem to indicate that his famous speech at j Bordeaux, iu 1852. in which he said, “The Empire—it is peace,” were words full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. His journey through southern France, ostensi b'v as Pr( s'dent of the Republic of 1848, but really a bidding expedition for the re establishment of the Empire, was marked by a series os triumphal ovations, culminat ing in his acceptance of the enraptured ap peal of his People, through tho Municipal Council of Paris, to become Emperor, which it would seem he could not do with out again repeating the golden words which had inspired thirty, five million souls with high hopes of the blessing of Peace, ‘ The Empire—it is peace.” The confidence felt in the practical realization of this assurance is evidenced by the fact that he was elected Emperor by a malority of 7,011,035. But, like many in a humbler station, the ambi tion of Napoleon, untempered by that judg ment which makes men permanently great, could not bear the sudden prosperity with which he was clothed. The first breach of faith with his people was the Crimean war; then the French-I tali an war, the close of which, in the Solferino treaty, was precipi tated by threats from England and Prussia ; next, the great filibustering /iasco in Mexi - co; and. finally, his present causeless eru sade against Prussia. Verily, how prophet ic was that “distrust” which led some per sons to confront the Emperor with tho verified words, “The Empire—it is war,” at the very juncture when their cajoling chief declared it to be peace. I have stated in a former letter what seemed from an objective standpoint of observation, to be the real issue of the present contest. Asa materiality it has no issue save a prospec tive one, which, with this fourth attempt of Napoleon to spread his power, is likely to end in the loss of what he now holds. The Emperor’s crowning tear is concentrated upon tho doubts surrounding the succession of his son to the throne; and herein it is essentially a war waged in the interest of family considerations. Does it not look as though a dynasty which, in order to sus tain itself, compels a whole continent to go through years of misery, might far better, for the age of civilization in which ws live, crumble into dust? THE FALL CAMPAIGN. The indications are too palpably evident, | that the present campaign for the election of Members to the Forty- Second Congress will be conducted with as much vigor as is exhibited in that of a presidential canvass. The Radical party, desirous of retaining at .11 L J- ’ en strangely and unexpectedly held bv it alnoA traordinary efforts to retain it. The ‘stump orator,” prompted by the “fuglemen,” whose headquarters are here, will exercise his utmost ingenious sophistry to ?up@rin<s duco the belief on his numerous listeners, that the rule of his party has brought peace, happiness, and wealth, to the whole coun try. Were this state of affairs based on truth, no effort would be necessary to in j sure the country going cn masse for the i continuation of the aforesaid Radical party. But as it is a self-evident proposition that the people at aroused from the “Rip an Winkle” lethargy in which they have for eight years past been thrown into by the mendacious speciousness and false issues which been foisted and thrust upon them by the “leaders,” whose cry has been “MoNorplrf* “Taxes,” and “Riches,” a determined opposition to continuing the wrongs wiy-baffle basis on which th Selec tion is to be conducted.

The circular letter is of seme polrfical significance, and is as follows: * WashjSgton, July 26, 1870, Sir: The political campaign of 1870, which has already been commenced in some of the States, promisses to be contested with more than usual activity by the Democratic party. It is therefore necessary that it should be met with spirit and determina tion. Every Repubb’ean whose attention has been directed to the subject will rcadi lv see the necessity of prompt and decisive action. The only defence needed by tho administration is, that tho peoplo may be furnished with facts as they exist.

[CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD] Portland Maine, Aug. 8, 1870. Ed. Herald: —“From Maine to Georgia” used to be a familiar expression, and from Maine to Georgia! would send you an item of political intelligence, because there is much more significance iu it than usually attaches to the selection of a candidate tor office in this State. Candidates are made here in the Radical party by office holders’ rings, and are electod by the influence and the power of the government. Thus the Radical ranks of Congressmen iu New En gland remain unbroked. The members of this party in the First Congressional Dis trict of the State have recently had the re nominationoi their present Representation, (Mr. Lynch) forced upon them by the office holders , a result which is not in accordance with the wishes of a majority of the mem bers of that party. The ‘rank and file’ think this thing has been carried about far enough, and that the'people ought to have some voice in the selection of their candi dates for office. The office holders laugh at the disaffected ones and tell them 'to bolt if they dare V We shall see how they stand it. On the second of August, the Democratic convention for the same First District (of which Portland is a part) assembled, anc with entire unanimity—every man voting in his favor—presented as their candidate for Congress, the name of William P. Haynes, of Saco. The nomination was as honorable to the man as to the cause he represented, and was the spontaneous v#:C3 of the conservative masses of the people of the district. I need not speak of Mr. Haynes, farther than to say that his vorth and ability are krown and acknowledged by men of all parties, and his election would be an honor to the district, aa he would be to the whole country. As adis tinguished gentleman from another State has just said, “ The election of only hilf a dozen such men as Mr. Haynes, would matt rlathy change the tone and character f ' ie Whole uousc." mu. --• . n _ , ‘ ... _ -rill soon be known to tho country.

We have high hopes ojredeem ing the district, (it has been strongly Rad ical since ’62 or ’63 Ed ) and sending to Washington a Statesman instead of a mere partizan politician ; and we further believe, that if every Congressioual district in the country where elections are to occur, will follow our action and select the test man irrespective of all other eonsideraions, we can soon redeem the House of Representa tives, and change that place from a caucus room or a bear garden, into a dignified assemblage of American Statesman and Patriots. .

Rentes are the evidences of the funded debt of France, not in the form of bonds, as ours, birt as loans from the people! These loans are entered to the credit of the lender upon the Government ledgers, and certificates bearing a special rate of inter est given to the lender of these certificates. The holders are called “Renters/' and the fluctuations in the value of these certificates indicate the confidence of the financial market. Consols are the English Government stocks, and differ from Rentes a3 well as from our bonds in boing annuities upon which the interest is simply paid, and they are called Consols, from being formed by the consolidation of different annuities, bearing different rates of interest, into one annuity bearing a uniform rate—three per cent, being the annual interest upon Con sole. Consols being the stock in which most speculations are made, they are thus made the financial standard or barometer of all other securities.

E. G. Catsayiss, Chairman Cen. Ex. Deni. Committee. THE POLITICAL FUTURE. Netr York Express.] Republicans from the South, at present in Washington, taken gloomy view of the situation at home. A Louisiana Republi can, for instance, informs his friends in the Senate that Louisiana will give 5,000 Dem ocratic majority next November, and 25,000 at tiie next Presidential election. A Mississippi Republican predicts a Democratic victory is that State in Novem ber. He told Alcorn, the other day, it was inevitable, and Alcorn laughed. Now, if Alcorn had been at hetrt a Radical, he would have cried ; hut he never shed a tear—on the contrary, as above stated, he laughed. Depend upon it, that man Alcorn —the old friend of Clay, Webster and Fillmore—is “ripe for treason, stratagem aud spoils.” Alabama, I am assured by good Repub lican authority, will give 5,000 Democratic majority in November. Enough said about Alabama. Georgia, not being as yet reconstructed, I leave out of the account for the present. South Carolina may be set down as doubtful, but the Honorable Frederick Augustus Sawyer, one of her Senators —a native, by the way, of Boston, Mass., arid a graduate of Harvard Uuiversity—pursues so conservative a course as to lead many persons to suspect that he apprehends a bouleversement there in November. In Tennessee, the Radicals give it up. Maynard may possibly be re elected in the Knoxville District. If so* he will be the only Radical member from Tennessee in the next Congress. Etheridge is on the war path in his district, and he will be elected. North Carolina, as the Southern phrase has it, is looking “very peart.” The Hol den party there is dwindling every day, and will go under forever in November. ! Requiescat in pace.

Nor in Lehigh, nor Lycoming, nor Dempshire either, Simon Cameron to the contrary notwithstanding. llow it may be in Lan caster, deponent saith not. A county that worshipped such as trange mid uncouth ged as Thad Stephens, might reasonably be regarded as thoroughly unclean arid irredeemable. If she be joined to her idols, we will let her alone.

A gain” of seven or eight members of Congress in the districts where Fen is potential, may be expected in November, in New Yoik. Fenton was originally a Democrat, and being now a candidate for toe Presidency, he must soon begin to marshal his forces at home, to keep Conkling in check in Oneida and to hold lorn Murphy and his myrmidons at bay in that city and in Long Branch. Indiana shows symptoms of tLiu«; ug off the Radical collar.' Ohio is so manipulated by Delano and his tribe of tax-gatherers, that it is hardly possible to tell what is to become of her ; but if Pentisylvaniu caves in, Ohio vull follow with a rush.
