commanded the attention of some of our most
prominent citizens, as Is evidenced in the well
merited compliment which 1ms been tendered
hint, and which will be heartily responded to
on Thursday evening. Some of the plays which
have been presented during the past week, have
been rendered with positive excellence. We
witnessed thc performance of the “ Lady of Ly
ons” on Tuesday evening last, and experienced
great delight from the artistic and spirited act
ing of Mr. Fleming as Claude Mclnottc, and the
vety interesting personation of Pauline by Miss
Thompson. Mr. Fleming also achieved quite a
triumph in thc character of Macbeth on Thurs
day evening. On Saturday evening wc witness
ed the first representation of “The Beggar and
thc Artist,” an exceedingly good play, which
we subsequently learned was written by Mrs.
Fleming. It Is strong in incident, and thc lan-
guage flows easily. We congratulate Mrs. Flem
ing upon its success! Mr. Fuller deserves hon
orable mention for his various personations, and
is justly entitled to the name of actor.—Mr.
Fleming last evening produced a new play,
founded upon incidents connected with thc war
in India, and introduced new and appropriate

attempted here, and wc feel confident that his
enterprise will be rewarded with one of thc
most brilliant audiences on Thursday evening

The Meeting at the I'ppcr Market—
JUDGE GIBSON AND OURSELVES.
We did not attend the meeting of thc Ameri
can party, held at thc upper market in this city,
on Thursday evening. It was reported to us,
however, by several gentlemen who were pre
sent, that Judge Gibson, in a speech made at
that meeting, had been exceedingly severe in
his strictures ujion an article which appeared
in this paper on Thursday morning, in reference
to thc approaching municipal election; and had
taken occasion to say that the editor of thc Con
stitutionalist was once a Know Nothing, or a
ntcmlier of thc American order. As soon as we
received this information, we applied to that
gentleman to learn whether his remarks, in re
lation to the editor of this paper had been cor
rectly reported to us; when he very promptly
addressed us thc following note, which wc pub
lish, to correct the erroneous impression of our
political antecedents, which was certainly cre
ated in thc minds of some of his hearers, by
the lnngungc employed by Judge Gibson on
Thursday evening.
It is proper for us to remark, that wc did not
write thc article in our issue of Thursday morn
ing, which was thc occasion of Judge Gibson's
reference to us. But it was written by one of
our associates—contained little else beside thc
statement, which every intelligent man in this
community knows to be true, that thc contest
between the two prominent candidates for thc

Homer Richardson, before a Bench of Slagis-
trates in this place, on a charge of Larcency
from the House, in the fall of the past j'car.—
The prisoner was young, handsome, and pre
possessing in bis appearance, and the testimo
ny- elicited, and upon which lie was finally
committed to jail to await the action of the Grand
Jury, being entirely circumstantial, induced
many who were present to express a strong
sj-mpathy for the wayward youth.
The main witness for the defence wasaj-oung
and beautiful girl, who had been connected with
thc stage, and who swore, that on the night and
about thc time the larcency was thought to have
been committed, the defendant had been on a
visit to, and in social converse with Iter,—that
he retired to bed, and could not have passed out
of the house without her knowledge, and that
as far as she knew, being awake until two o’
clock studying her part, Richardson did not
leave his apartment
Richardson was charged with stealing fifteen
dollars in gold, and gold was proven to have
been in his possession, the daj’ after thc larcen
cy was committed. It was in proof, that a day
or two before thc larcency, Richardson had ap
plied for board, at the Hotel from which the
money was taken, and said that he ltad no mon
ey, but that he expected a remittance from New
Orleans. He was unable to give any satisfacto
ry- account of the gold in his possession and this
with other suspicious circumstances, was thought
to be sufficient to authorize thc Magistrates to
bind hint over to appear at Court
Being unable to give security, he was com
mitted and remained in jail until thc session of
the Superior Court in November last, when he
was discharged; thc person who lost thc money
having disappeared While in jail, Richardson
was frequently visited by the fair girl whose af
fections he had succeeded in winning, and at
one time a marriage was in contemplation, but
thc Inferior Court refused to allow it, and Mr.
Barefield was not permitted to have his chains
and safe apartments, consecrated to thc joys of
Ilj-men.
But the current of true love was too strong
to be thus diverted front its course—thc parties
‘bided’ their time and after Richardson’s release,
the happy pair were united and left Macon.—
Thc conclusion of this interesting romance will
be found in thc following interesting account of
a recent exciting affair in New Orleans :
[From Friday’s Daily Crescent]
Counterfeit Resemblances are always strik
ing ; but we never heard of a case of resem
blance more striking in its denouement, than
one in which a well known matt and ao un
known man, who resembled him, met last even
ing.
Omar Richardson, thc circus-rider, is known
and admired everywhere; particularly wher
ever Spalding & Rogers’ star circus company
goes. He is handsome, and his face is so well
known, that whether he be performing in the
ring cr sauntering along the street in his citi
zens’ dress, everybody knows him. lie fs well
behaved, too. although he acted last evening
with seme ugliness ; an ugliness, however,
which will be excused by all readers of this
when they hear the facts we have to tell.
In an unlukcy hour a child was born, who,
upon reaching manhood, appeared to be Rich
ardson’s twin-brother, and to many people,
Richardson himself. With further bad luck,
this individual grew up a loafer, or else became
a loafer reaching man’s estate. He discover
ed that a great many people mistook him for
Omar Richardson, and proceeded to profit
thereby.
For some months past, he has been travel
ing cither in the van or in the rear of Spalding
it Roger’s circus company, passing himself off
as Omar ahead, or Omar behind, or Omar on a
spree. Everybody knows Omar to be one of
Spaldjng & Rogers’ best stars, and knows that
Spalding Sc Rogers stand up to their stars with
full purses at all times, whether they be punc
tual in the ring or off on a frolic. The loafer
who resembled Omar found, out all this, and
profited accordingly.
Lately in Savannah, Georgia, he swindled
numerous people, upon whom he passed him
self as Omar on a spree, and behind thc compa
ny. He even went so far as to “come it” over
Mr. Marsh of the Marsh Troupe, whilst thc
troupe was there. Still further than this,
married n pretty Georgia girl, upon whom
passed himself for Omar. The poor girl infat
uated with the idea that she was to travel a-
round and sec the world, as the wife of the
great circus-rider, Omar Richardson, was hap
py for a short time. Her husband left her.
The Marsh Troupe were then performing
Savannah. She. having been led by her bus
band’s talk to believe that any person or com
pany having engagements with Spalding Sc
Rogers, would be friends of any other person
in the employment of the said celebrated firm,
called upon Mr. Marsh. He knew nothing of
Omar Richardson, personally, or of her, and
was not disposed to listen to her.
Mrs. Marsh, seeing that the poor girl was
hastening on to maternity, and believing that
she was actually the wife of Omar Richardson,
interceded with Mr. Marsh, and he gave her
money to support herself with till the scape
grace of a husband should return. But she
never saw him again; or that, at least, is the
impression of those who best know. On his
pretence that he was Omar Ricbardsou, the
rascal swindled all sorts of people in tiavan
Richardson listened no longer. He went at
the fellow, and gave him one of the hardest
aim longest cowhidings that ever human re
ceived in this town. There was a jumping a-
round, and a screaming, and a general noise,
tu the editorial room of thc late “Daily Pro
gramme,” which was heard by the crowd out
side, and created considerable wonderment
and inquiry. When Omar got tired of lashinj
his counterfeit, he sat down and rested; anu
then, using the pen and ink left on the table
bj' the editor of the late “Daily Programme,”
wrote a document, which thc rascal was only
too glad to sign, to get out of that room and
awaj-from thc cowhide. The following is a
correct copy of the document, as written by
Omar and signed by his counterfeit :
New Orleans. March 17, 1859.
I acknowledge that at divers times and pla
ces, during the past winter, I have represen
ted my name to be Omar Richardson—among
other places, at Savannah and Mobile; and
whereas,Omar Richardson, cquestiran, hearing
of my false assumption of bis name, has cow-
hided nte, I hereby release him from any cause
of action I may have against him by reason of
such assault and battery, and promise never a-
gain to assume his name.
[Signed] CHARLES W. FOSTER.
The above being signed, the miserable wretch
was escorted to the front door and told to go
bis way and sin no more.
All we bare to add is that Marsh, Bidwell,
and others, who saw the counterfeit Richardson
whilst he was playing counterfeit, assert that
the resemblance between him and the genuine
Richardson is extraordinary; that not one per
son in a hundred could meet the imitation ar
ticle without mistaking him for the genuine
The case was certainly most remarkable.
nah.
Since then thc people of Mobile or a good
many of them, have been swindled by the same
rascal in the same way. The Circus Company
were there two weeks ago; Omar was one
of the company then and there ; and the conn
terfeit Omar had little trouble in gulling the
Mobilians as suited his notion.
When Mr. Marsh arrived with his troupe
last week, thc counterfeit Omar arrived also.
He bothered Marsh a great deal pretending
to be Omar Ricbardsou on a frolic. Marsh,
believing him to be the genuine Omar, loafed
around with him and talked with him, but at the
the force of truth against every possible bias of
surrounding circumstances. Futhcrraore, let
.is take fresh hope and courage. Such indica
tions of reactionary opinion among thc more
intelligent minds of thc North arc getting com
mon, and will, perhaps, be like bread cast upon
the waters—to return again after many daj's.
Better, sounder nnd wiser opinions may take
root there by nnd by—who knows?

the circus company, his counterfeit disclosed
himself only to Marsh and some few others
whom he knew were not personally acquainted
with the genuine Omar. He played a sharp
game; but it was not sharp enough to last.
Wind of the counterfeit Omar’s other doings
in Savannah and Mobile, reached Marsh here
a day or two ago. The circus company, and
Omar himself, also heard of it, and the thing,
as a matter of course, created some lively talk
jn circus.circles. Omar was naturally thc most
interested of all. Meantime, Marsh made thc
acquaintance of the genuine Omar for the first
time.
It was generally understood about town that
the Circus Company were to leave last evening
for St. Louis. It happened, however,that the de
parture was dislaj'cd one day; in consequence
of which Omar Richardson, Libby, Walters,
Yillanueva, and thc other crack members of
the" crowd, were loitering about St Charles
street last evening, taking a farewell view of
the scenes with which they had so long been
familiar. Whilst they were all scattered a
round, thc counterfeit Omar came along, ii
blissful supposition that tho genuine Omar and
all the crowd were safely on their way up thc
river. Poor devil!
He fell in with Marsh, and Marsh was de
lighted to see him. Marsh loitered with him
till he met the other Omar. Marsh introduced
thc two Omars. The actual Omar fell in love
with the fictitious Omar,and button-holding him
firmly, invited him iuside thc Amphitheater to
have a private talk with him. Tho rascal ter

[Dr. Do La Bocagc in his office. Enter Mike
Flahertj’.J
Dr. Dc—Good morning Mike.
Mike—How are you Docthor ? I hope you’re
well, but it’s more than I am mesclC
Dr. Dc—What’s thc matter ? nothing serious
I hope.
Mike—But indadc it is bad enough though.
Dr. De—What is it Mike ?
Mike—Well, as you know, I was doin’ a job
of ditchin’ for your rich neighbor, Misther Mor
gan, and the other day while I was at work, I
went to roll up me sleeve and found a curious
looking little wart growin’ on my arm just above
my wrist, but it was not sore and I did not
mind it all. This morning though, soon after I
had commenced my digging, I felt my arm sting
and on looking at the wart, I found that it had
grown veiy fast and tliat my arm was sore and
red for some distance around it I am afraid it
is a cancer or something else very bad, and
just dropped my spade and come over to sec if
you could cut it off. Here, Docthor, did you
ever see thc like of it before ?
Dr. De—(Laughing.) Why, Mike, it is noth
ing but a tick on j-our ana.
Mike—(Looking perplexed.) And it’s only a
tick you say it is ; what kind of a sore might a
tick be ?
Dr. Dc—It is not anj- kind of a sore. It is
one lcctle insect that belongs to this country.—
It generally bites thc horses and the cows, but
sometimes it gets on the people. Thc bite maj'
make a sore but it is not dangerous. I will put
some of this medicine on j’our anu and it will
come off; you ought to have pulled it off as
soon as you discovered it Tiie place will soon
get well now.
Mike—Thank j-ou Docthor, And it’s a tick
j'ou called it; I knew j’ou had plenty of snakes
and frogs here and I’ve even heard of musqui-
toes, but I never drained of such bugs as ticks.
This seems to tic a great country for biting
things.
Dr. De—Yes, it is rather so, but j'ou will not
mind them when j-ou have been here as long as
I have.
Mike—Yis Docthor, if I should iver stay that
long, but—(taking up a turnkey from the table)
what is this ?
Dr. De—It is an instrument for pulling teeth;
have you anj’ that j'ou wish extracted ? I can
do it in thc best manner possible if you have.
Mike—No Docthor, I never had thc toothache
in my life. But I can’t sec how this can take
fast hold on a tooth.
Dr. Dc—Easilj- enough, When it is put on
a tooth and turned, it holds very fast.
Mike puts tho turnkey on one of his own
teeth and having turned it until it is tightly
fixed, he attempts to take it off hut finds it docs
not come off.
Dr. Dc—(Seeing Mike’s frightened look,)—
Turn the other way Mike.
Mike turns, but in bis confusion he onlj’ con
tinues to tum in thc same direction that he had
commenced, consequcntlj’, in a few seconds out
comes the tooth. Without a word or even
groan, he laj’s tlic tooth and tiie turnkey on the
table together, and with rapid strides walks out
Dr. De—Parblcu! it is an eye tooth he has
pulled for himself and perfectly sound, too,—
I’ve heard of people cutting eyo teeth to
wisdom, but I think he has learned something
by losing one of his. I suppose he does think
this is a great country for biting things, and no
doubt he will make great haste to get out of
such a bad place. He is on his way to Cork
now very probablj’. It is too good ; I mustgo
and tell Marie. She docs not enjoj’ fun as much
as I do, but I think she must laugh at this.

Fort Valley.
Thc project of thc Fort Valley nnd Atlantic
Railroad is bringing into notice thc thriving vil
lage from which the road in part takes its name.
Fort Valley is situated on a level ridge between
the Ocmulgec and Flint rivers—the former dis
charging its waters into the Atlantic, and the
latter into thc Gulf. It contains about COO in-
lubitants, has five stores, good schools (one dig
nified as a female college) and its merchants en
joy a safe and lucrative business. It is distant
from Macon 28 miles, from Columbus 72, and
from Brunswick, if the Fort Yallcj- and Atlan
Railroad is built, about 175. The adjacent
country Is very productive in cotton, com and
potatoes, and 'enjoys a reputation for health.
The citizcrs of Houston county gencrallj',
particularly of Fort Yallcj' and its vicinitj', arc
distinguished lor their sobrictj', intelligence and
ealtlL Thc zeal with which thej' have enter-
upon this magnificent railroad project speaks
ell for their enterprise. Should they succeed
consummating their object, the propertj' of
Pulaski and Houston alone would be enhanced
in value double the cost of thc road, the valu
able trade formerlj' enjoj-ed by 1 lawkinsvillc
would be restored, nnd a large and prosperous
inland town be built up at Fort Yallcj'.
To Brunswick tho Fort Vallej’ and Atlantic
Railroad is an important enterprise—in our
opinion the one which should have been put
forward at the time publicity was given to the
Macon scheme; but thc latter having thc ini
tiative wc should deprecate anj' diversion of

the success of thc one without insuring tliat of
tlic other.—Brunswick Herald.

[COMMINICATEO.]
Wine Growing in Georgia
Messrs. Editors:
Gentlemen.—Would it be possible or proba
ble that any of your planters could be induced
to go into the cultivation of the Vine-, if it could
be shown to them, that with half the land, and
less than lialf the force thej' are now compelled
to employ, they could make more money, and
what is still better, save the lives of their sons,
and add to the comfort and happiness of their
daughters? In jour State I have but little ac
quaintance, j'et, have in some things seen
enough to know that an improvement could be
made, and to the advantage of all but one class,
and tho less you have of that ono class, the
better.
Having for nianj' j ears been a traveller on
both sides of the Atlantic, and an observer of
the manners and customs of the various nations
and their classes, I trust I have gained some
information,—no more than many others,
yet all are not disposed to use the information
gained, for thc benefit of others, without the
quid pro quo. I do not intend to say I am
more disinterested/^ less selfish than other men,
j'et, if I can put them in thc waj- of doing bet
ter for themselves, I may, in some way, reap all
the reward that I desire—that is, to see my
country independent of all others for the arti
cles of necessity, and in some measure also, for
thc articles of luxury.
To the point: It appears to me that thc States
of North and South Carolina, and Georgia, are
as well adapted to thc growth of thc vine, or
grape, as that of anj- part of Europe. I have
no doubt tliat 20 acres in cultivation of the
Grape for Wine, would yield more profit to the
Vintner, than one hundred acres in Com or Cot
ton. Then thc Vinej'ard once in bearing, is
with little care, (compared with other crops)
thriving for generations to come.
I saw one man who was on a Vineyard of
perhaps 8 to 10 acres. He attended to all that
was necessary, except at thc time of the vint
age; then for a few days he would hire hands—
mostly females and children, to pick and cull
the Grapes—a few men to tread the press, and
to handle thc Casks.
The modus operand! Is thus:—An oblong
building, say 12 to 15 feet in width, the length
proportioned to the size of the Vine vard. Nei
ther floor or siding is needed. On each side
there is a Table, running the entire length, 2 ft.
in width, and of convenient, height to work o n,
say 3 feet Through the centre Is a I fepctrm
made of 2 inch oak plank, usually 2J atfo in
width. On the edges is a strip setting about
one inch above the surface. On this platform,
thc Tubs or Tuns, as thej' are termed, are set.
These Tuns are made of plank, a little larger at
thc top than at thc bottom. They are made to
be strong and durable. Six inches from the
bottom is a ledge, made bj- setting another
thickness ol plank around, or, by attaching a
piece. On this ledge is set a false bottom. This
false bottom is perforated with boles, bored
smooth with a bit half inch in size. A cover
or strainer of hair cloth is made to cover this
false bottom, being sufficicntlj' large to come
over the edge, and under it a piece of rattan is
made fast to thc edge of thc hair cloth. The
false bottom being covered is then set in its
place. Tlic grapes are gathered in thc morn
ing, while the dew Is yet on them—brought in
and laid on thc shelves; there the girls pick or
cull them over, removing every unripe, imper
fect, or decayed grape—also the stems. As this
Is done, tlic grapes are placed in the Tuns on
the platform. Thc men then being washed-^
denuded of their clothes, jump into thc Tuns.
They have a woolen blanket made to cover the
top of the Tuns, and fasten around the bodj\
When all are readj-, a fiddler, at thc end of the
platform commences to play, the girls and men
to sing, those in thc tuns to dance, and the
juice to run. At the end of the platform are
set tubs, made for the purpose, on wheels; as
they are filled, thej' are drawn into the Wine
Room, at thc end of the building, there they
remain for fermentation. At this time, it re
quires close attention. Thc fine sediment that
has passed the strainer now rises to the top..
In thc course of a day or two, the weather be
ing favorable, this sediment begins to part or
separate, and white globules or froth in appear
ance, with a hissing, may be seen and heard.—
The casks now bcing'prcpared, by having been
fumigated with sulphur, .which is done as fol
lows: a strip of linen cloth is dipped into sul
phur made liquid bj - heat This is set on fire at
the end and held in the cask to bum for a few
minutes; it is then withdrawn, thc casks arc
then filled with the Wine, and stand for a day,
open at the bung, then the bung is set in light
ly, and every daj-, with a mallet, it is driven a
a little, until it is perfectly tight The Wine is
now housed, where it is to remain until thc sec
ond fermentation takes place. This is usually in
March, at thc time- the Vine begins to start for
the season. Something depends on tiie season;
it may be a little earlier or later. Thc casks
being prepared, the Wine is now decanted and
put into clean fresh casks, or bottled and ready
for market
Thc casks from which thc Wine has been de
canted, after standing with thc bung out for a
few days, then have the heads taken cut A
sediment will be found adhering to the casks;
this is then carefullj- removed and prepared for
market This is known, in Commerce, as thc
red and white Argols, in color as thc Wine may
be.—From these Argols is made thc Tartaric
acid.
Tho unripe grapes and imperfect, as before
named as being separated before thc wine is
made—these arc bruised, then together with
the pulp that remains after expressing with thc
feet the juice ; also, any wine that maj' from
bad management, or want of proper attention,
and as is sometimes the case bad weather, thc
wine may become acid,—these are put together,
that is, the bad grapes, thc pulp and sediment
of fermentation, into vats or open casks, there
to ferment After the fermentation.of these, thc
wine that has soured arc put together and dis
tilled, or left to make vinegar.
Another important point, viz : the vine, after
thc vintage is cut close to thc root, that is, thc
vino from which thc grapes has been taken,
leaving several of the young shoots that have
sprung up, to be the bearers for the next sea
son, thc old vine is then cut up into equal lengths,
trimmed, and placed into iron cylinders, placed
in a fire of charcoal and charred. These arc
then taken and assorted and put in order for
sale. These are known in commerce as cray
ons for drawing. These craj'ons are of differ
ent qualities as to size and texture or fineness.
Much depends on thc care taken in charring.
Now, tills maj' differ from some others or oth
er parts where wine is grown, yet in this j'ou
may sec that there is economy; everj’ part and
particle is turned to account—no loss or waste.
Tlic vine is not suffered to run on trelles, as witli
us,—there are stakes prepared for the purpose,
having an iron head and point, being about 4
feet in length, these are driven in the spring, and
after the vintage they are taken up and housed.
Now, Mr. Editor, will or can anj’ of j-our
gentlemen planters be induced to make a be
ginning. Here j ou have thc soil and cliuic for
tlic production of tho choicest wines.
I make no charge for this instruction. Had
come a Yankee, as I am bom and bred, and
charged a round sum for this information, I have
no doubt, I could hjyve found some buj*crs ready
and willing to pay.
All I ask is to have a beginning made, and if
successful, and I should live, I have no doubt,
should I visit this region, I shall bo made wel
come to a glass or bottle of good wine, shquld I
Shonld any person desire any further infor
mation on this subject in my power to give, I
shall most cheerfully do so, without fee or re
ward. I shall remain here but a few days at
most. Yours, respectfully,

and Monroe are more convenient to Forsyth.—
Wc hope each county will designate the place
