AYe refer you to the enclosed circular from
the Planters’ Convention, of the State of Geor

tive Committee of the Beige-American Society,
has resolved to organize an exportation of in
dustrial products, destined for exhibition at
the Fair at Macon.
AYe do not believe there is any necessity for
our insisting upon the important advantages
that must be gained, if Belgium should be
properly represented, at that exhibition; wc
simply affirm that all the Southern States of the
American Union have not only signified their con
currcnco in the entorprize, but that it will cer
tainly be welcomed, with the most cordial fa
vor and sympathy.
The merchandize destined for the exhibition,
will bo shipped at Antwerp, under the super;
vision of (he company, and insurance on ac
count of tho exporters will be effected con
formably with their instructions. All meas
ures relative to the transportion of merchan
dize from the port of debarkation to the city of
Macon; for its safe delivery at the place of ex
hibition, and the insurance pending its passage
to, and stay at, the place of exhibition, have
been in ovided for by the Planter’s Convention,
and the Bclge-Amcrican Company.
The tatter will mipply ()»« •rpodiliaa with
Agents properly instructed, to exercise a gen-1
oral supervision, and to attend to the sales of
merchandize. It will be equally the object of
these Agents to make such enquiries, and to
gather such information as may be useful to fu
ture expeditions.
The Bclge-Amcrican Company declares itself
equally responsible, with the exporters of mer
chandize, who shall entrust it to them for the
expedition ; that It is to say, it will guarantee
fuU payment of the net proceeds of the sales of
merchandize. There will be required by the
company ten per cant on the amount of pro
ceeds, which will cover all cliargea for comniis
- aions, expenses of return, incidental expenses,
in a word every charge, except those of trans
portation and maritime insurance.
Wo dcom it proper to remark, that all arti
cles, forwarded to tho exhibition, arc designed to
lie sold, and that consequently, there should be
no suuplcs which would not be saleable, but
that all specimens of the different products,
should be in more or less considerable quan
tities.
The assortments of the different fabrics,
should be, for the most part, composed of arti
cles, eligible for spring wear, rather tlian for
that of winter; the season in which the exhi
bition will be held being too far advanced to
require the Utter in large quantities; those con
cerned who wish to do so, may obtain such
JUrther information ns it shall lie in the power
Of the company to afford.

they have in the exhibition; and - which that

word was sent to them that Mr. Rodgers was
indisposed, and had concluded not to sell the
property. The commissioners finally deputed
the Mayor, Mr. Thomas Swann, to visit him in
his chamber and ascertain his reasons for the
refusal to comply with tho contract Air. Swann
was admitted and was told that he (Mr. Rodg
ers) had been advised by eminent counsel that
it was not competent for tho city to purchase
and hold property outside the city limits unless
by a special act of the Legislature, nor could
the city issue the bonds with which to pay for
the land. All the arguments and remon
strances of the Mayor was without effect, and
the 'commissioners were obliged to return as
they went, without having got possession of
the property. The board are to have a meet

one of their members, returns, when they will
dctcnninc what further action to take in the
matter.
Mr. Rodgers is far advanced in age, and it is
said is suffering at present with diseased lungs,
and so far advanced in consumption as wil
probably preclude his ever again getting out of s ' oner -
his house. He is naturally of a highly sensi
tive and irratablc disposition, and since the
placo has been regarded as sold to the city
there has been large numbers of persons tres
passing upon the premises, which has kept his
mind in a constant state of excitement, which
has added to his malady, and completely pros
trated him. Should his death occur before a

MR. BRECKINRIDGE’S SPEECH.
AA'e get several copies of Mr. Breckinridge’s

tations which the orator makes in the course
of his argument. AV'e prefer to wait a little
while and procure a correct copy before pre
Renting it to the reader.
The speech was made to an immense crowd
and produced i profound impression. Many
pronounced it ?he ablest political exposition,
ever made in S'entucky. Joncc Hooper, of the
Montgomeiy Daily Mail, who was on the
ground, says:
John C. Breckinridge delivered a great speech
here yesterday to an immense crowd. He ad
vocated State Rights and State Equality in the
Union through and through. He showed that
he was for the Union because he was for the
Constitution and Equality. He proved that all
parties in Kentucky were for protection, and
completely mangled ^Senator Douglas. Mr.
Breckinridge’s courtesy to Senator Crittenden
was an awful punishment. As a whole, Mr.
B.’s speech was matchless—the greatest speech
I ever heard. Ho showed that the Black Re
publicans were the disunionists. He did not
indicate what he thought should be the policy
of the South in the event of the election of
Lincoln. From sickness and exhaustion, Mr.
Breckinridge closed his remarks after speaking
three hours, during which time the immense
crowd was perfectly wild with enthusiasm.
TIIE GRAIN MOVEMENT.
It is estimated that the sales of flour, wheat
and corn in the New York city markots, during
the past week, amounted to something within a
million and a half of dollars! The greater
proportion of this is understood to have been on
European account, but there were operations
of some magnii ule, undoubtedly, on speculation.
The Expre** says:
“ Prices has been slowly, but steadily ad-1
vancing, and, from present appearances, it is j
probable that tho crop has not been reached.—
The harvests throughout Great Britian arc turn
ing out so badly that a heavy deficiency in food
there would seem to be certain—a greater defi
ciency than can well be made good from the or
dinary sources of supply on the continent. The
American markets, therefore, must be largely
drawn upon, and tho result will be, that our
farmers will soon get back, in exchange for
their cereals, not a little of the “ specie” we have
been sending over sea to pay for European im
portations. In this way the whole country will
be benefitted in the end—though just now the
consumers of bread in tho cities may have to
“pay dear for the wistle.”

A FIREMAN.
Millldgeville, Sept 7th, I860.
To the Chin'n Ex. Com. Douglas Deni. Party
of Bibb Co.
Dear Sir":—It is generally understood that
Hon. Stephen A. Douglas will soon be in Geor
gia, and will address our people on the politics
of tho pending Presidential election. Ilis po
sition is notoriously adverse to c great majori
ty of the people of our State—his address will
of course be on the issues between him and
them. The commonest propriety suggests the
idea of free discussion—of reply to his face,
when ho assails on Georgia soil, the well
known principles of all Georgians who oppose
him. The dignity of tho distinguished visitor
and the dignity of the occasion concur to make
such a discussion welcome to an enlightened pub
lic. At the earnest request of many Democrats,
I, as Chairman of the Democratic State Execu
tive Committee, address you for the purpose of
proposing the discussion. A few days ago, I
addressed the same offer to the State Execu
tive Committee of the Douglas Democratic par
ty, but not knowing the Chairman, nor the
best way of communicating with the Commit
tee, the letter has not yet (as I am informed
to-day) reached its address. As the time is
short, I therefore "bog leave to address you
: respectfully the same offer.
Your position is one of high authority in
your party, and in public opinion, as represent
ing officially, the Douglas party in one of the
most influential communities of tho State, and
doubtless your action on this subject will be
regarded on all sides as that of tho Douglas;
party. At least, if you and the gentlemen of
your party in Bibb county are willing to ha
such a discussion, and to have it at Macon,
any other point agreeable to yourselves,
doubt it will be highly satisfactory t
•lie of all parties. I beg an carl
that-tire opponents of Mr.
time (if you agree) to make
ments. .
