TO \ } Greox-sia ■a rr . - "zrrzs :— o;x* The ToncfAitEXT at Persy was, judging | the accounts wo have heard on the subject, m. 1 truly a grand affair, and one long to be remembered both by spectators and participants. We regret not being able sooner to lay before our readers a de scription of the BayingB and doings on this, to many, eventful day; but being unable to attend ourselves, have been most kjndly assisted by two of Macon’s handsome young gentlemen who bad the pleasure of attending. • 0«r informants are most assuredly convinced that there are more beautiful young ladies in Perrv than any other place in Georgia, (with all due defer ence to the fair young ladies c-f our own city, be It said.) At three o'clock Thursday evening, the streets to the lists were crowded, both by vehicles and pedes trians, all wending their way to the place of contest, which was situated in a very pleasant grove near the city. The proceedings consisted in twenty-seven hand some and gaily attired knights entering the lists in fine style, and mounted on fiery steeds, contending for the honor of crowning the fair lady love-queen of the festivities. That much desired treasure was won by Mr. J. C. Marchm&nd, who, being a married man, transferred his, right to Mr. Wm. Seymour, who, in a very neaW.ud pretty speech, placed the crown upon Miss Eda Thaipe’s fairy brow, the pure whitenees of which contrasted beautifully with her jet black loek9. . . . Next, Miss Julia Felder was crowned first maid of honor by Mr. Geo. Redding, the crown being accep ted by Miss J. with a few beautifully appropriate remarks, which were much applauded by the assem bled beaux aud belles of Perry. Lastly, Miss Rela Hill was, by Mr. D. B. Wim berly, crowned second maid of honor, and most gracefully did slio receiro tn« picago or mo ae,u- tion. All having repaired to the Conrt House to witness the above ceremony, after it was concluded the floors were cleared, and Miller’s Rand discoursed sweet strains of music to the disciples of Terpsi chore, who enjoyed themselves upon “the light fantastic toe’’ until the clock struck one, when the exhausted beauties of Perry repaired to their re spective homes, accompanied by their beaux, leaving onr informants to mount in their hard-seated buggy and return to Macon, to Meetbco of the State Fate Executive Com mittee.—This body met yesterday afternoon in the Agricultural Office on Mulberry street, Mr. A. L. *“ !w -vell in the Chair. The following gentlemen were P‘ , eri t, : Messrs. Maxwell, Collins, Obear, Grier, Wim*q Pi p ]ant Nutting, and CoL D. W. Lewis, Secretary Treasurer of the State Agri cultural Society. The minutes of the .preceding. meeting were read and confirmed. The report of committees m order, Mr. Maxwell reported that he had sn^e^^j ju eln . ploying a clerk. . > , The Committee on Water Works imported progress. The Committee appointed to employ a surveyor reported favorably, stating that the work would commence on to-morrow. Mr. Grier, having given a sufficient excuse, was, on motion, allowed to withdraw for the remainder of the evening. An Account of J. M. Boardman was read, and, on motion, ordered to be paid from the first col lections made. Suggestions were then made by different members of the committee in regard to advertisements of the Fair. Mr. C. A. Nutting was appointed a committee of one to solicit subscriptions from the railroads. One committee on subscriptions, not having re ported, were requested to finish their work, and report. , On motion, the meeting adjourned. “Dream of the joys, When you and I were boys,” to SrresioB Cocet.—The opening argument sic notion for a new trial in the case of Alfred 5.t, qrtinet whom a verdict of voluntary mac- ,'.-ri i>r had been rendered, was made onyester- it coming by bis counsel, Col.

He was represented ic CoL Weems, who maintained that from the e vi tae there were reasonable doubts as to his guilt, lathe jnry "could not see it,’’ as a portion of the detracted from the honse was found on Joe.'* jereon. He was accordingly fonnd guilty. The cue of Robt. N. Parker vs. the Mayor and Jouncil of jlicon was taken np, and the remainder of the morning consumed in the argument of a de- narrer npon the declarations, which put in issue the (gal liability of the city under the facts alledged t*the plaintiff. The Judge reserved his decision itil this morning, when the case will be resumed. E* i* a case involving interesting questions of it.

The following incident snbstan- a:e* the correctness of this assertion: There is a young gentleman in this city associated rib one of the railroads diverging from it, who hpptnedtobe at the passenger depot Saturday wung, on the departure of the Central railroad nix where he met a lady friend—perhaps more an a friend—a passenger on the train, with whom it was anxious to have a talk, and as the train was ipartiag, he concluded to take a seat in the car El ride with her to the point at which the outgoing atria the incoming train, where he intended to Lange cars and come back to the city. But so deeply absorbed yas he in conversation with his fair friend—so lost was he to everything else than the tweet, winning smiles—the bright, fascinating, love- aapiring expression of her beautiful eyes—that he did not notice the meeting of the trains, which did not stop as he expected, but merely lessened their speed, and when he awoke to his situation, the train was under a full head of steam and he was be ing carried down the Central railroad as fast as the iron hone" could move him. He at once made la situation known to the conductor, who informed km that it was impracticable for the train to stop Wore reaching Griswoldville. The conductor now joined his fair friend in teasing him, and they ear ned him high until the train stopped. Having an egagementin Macon, he did not wait for the up l«*enger. train, but took the railroad track and *•^1 back to Macon, a distance of about ten miles, i'oa ber that in future this young man, though a a -n»der, will not rely too fully upon his knowl- °* schedules, and though not over susceptible, ^ power to overcome the enchantment of thepres- ^ofhiB "Dnicina,” sufficiently to note ordinary tianspiring around him. of as Orpbss Child.—Mary Christina 2^ * little orphan child, aged about 20 months, Johnson’s, in this city, about noon, *S®d»y last The fatherless and motherless ■^caewas taken from the city hospital, after the '-•befits mother, which occurred when it was *J»we week old. by several kind and charitable tf the city, who gave it almost a mother’s at- ^ whilst it was in their keeping; but the little J* 11 * called hence ere its young heart had felt ^‘■iaiaguiah of a parent’s death, or had warm- latitude to.those who had kindly nurtured J^Towx Itmps.—Several of the city pumps are V oat of order, and in a hot and dry time like •'!

Not knowing the details of the transaction, of course it is impossible for us to speak definitely in the premises, but it is fair, from our standpoint, to conclude that much of the apprehension felt and manifested by onr people is groundless, or rather, I ehonld say, they have as little to apprehend from the consolidation as they would have had from the two interests in their for mer separate and distinct capacities—for, be it known that the interests of the two roads were so nearly identical, so mutually dependent each upon the other, as that, if the interests of either had de manded any change of tariff—any discrimination in favor of or against any city or locality—such change, no doubt, would have immediately been made. The combination can and will do no more, and, in doing this, they but exercise a just perogar tive—an equitable privilege—which no corporation or individual would hesitate to avail, did inter est demand it. Let ns net censure others for that which we our selves would do. or expect of them favors which we ourselves would not grant, if similarly situated. We are too much given to selfishness, and too prone to suffer our views and opinions to be circum scribed within its narrow channels, and too ready to censure those who. in pursuing their own inter ests by just and equitable measures, happen to do anything which, in any way, may operate against ns. This is wrong: let us bring the question home to ourselves. Suppose we had part, or all of onr capital invested in railroad stock, and such com petition should arise as to make it necessary to change tariffs so as that the Company would be able to pay at least the legal rate of interests, (a very low rate in our State these times,) on the capital invest ed, who among us would hesifate to vote for such change—though it did discriminate against this place, or that place? The highest duty the man agement of a corporation owes is to its stockholders, and if, in the protection of their interests, it be comes necessary to fix discriminating tariffs, they are cleariy justifiable in doing it, and we should not attach any blame to them for it—because we wonld do the same under similar circumstances. Civrs. The Velocipede Race—The great mile race on velocipedes, for a silver pitcher and the champion ship of the State, which has been in progress every afternoon since Saturday la6t, except on Sunday, was decided yesterday. There were fourteen contestants, and from the following summary it will be seen that Mr. Albert Knight was the winner in the unprecedented time of 3 minutes and 18 sec onds: Halbert 3:84)£ Clay fell on 7th round.

The people of Southwestern Georgia and Southeastern Alabama will hail this announcement with mnch pleasure and gratification. It is an im portant line of railway to them, and will vastly increase their facilities for placing their produce in market, and will greatly reduce their freight bills. Just Received.—Messrs.

When we visited the office, about ll o'clock a. M-, a gang of negroes had possession of the gen eral delivery window, and it was qnite impossible to get within ten feet of it. Many of the ignorant ne groes believe that the post office, like the ballot-box on election days, is for their special benefit, now that the office is in the hands of a negro, and they rush thither to get a paper or ticket out of a box, because they put “dem' tings in on ’lection days.” Many of them hang about the delivery windows merely to look in and eee what is going on, without thinking that others behind are waiting for Jhem to pass out of the way. What a shame it is that active business men, and the business of a whole commu nity, should be thus delayed by a gang of ignorant, curious negroes, who. having no mails to receive, still block np the way to the post office, and prevent gentlemen from attending to their correspondence and business affairs. The subject is too vexatious for comment, and altogether too much for ordinary patience to endure. May God forgive sins that our people commit under the mighty outrages they are now forced to bear.

Smith, in the Findlay honse, on the cor ner of Second and Oak streets. The burglar, in trying to remove the lower sash in the window awakened the young men, and one of them slipped out of bed and started into the adjoining room to get a pistol; bat as the moon was shining brightly in the room, the negro saw the movement, or snnffed danger in the morning air thereabouts, and beat a hasty retreat. If the young gentleman had had a pistol within reach, when he first awoke, he could have easily killed the scoundrel, as the bed was not four feet from the window. Wo advise citizens to keep a pistol or gun within reach of their hands at all hours of the night, so that such chances to kill burglars as was afforded in the above instance, will not he lost in future. Before you fire, he sure that yon do so at a thief or burglar, and that you do not, in a hasty manner, injure a friend or relative who may be moving about in the room or on yonr premises. In Statu Quo.—We are glad to learn that the of ficers and employees of the Southwestern Railroad Company will all be retained, at least for the pres ent, in their respective positions, and that the re cent consolidation of the affairs of the Central and Southwestern Roads, will work no change either in the employees or the officials of the two roads. It is our pleasure to be personally acquainted with several of the officers of the Southwestern Road, and aho with several of its conductors, clerks, etc., and we are sure that an abler, more efficient, or more popular body of men could not be seenred to conduct the affaire of the road, than they. We are, therefore, glad to learn that their services will be retained. SEND YOUR ORDERS Foreign Markets, London, July 6, noon Consols 93#.

D., author of “Walks ana Homes of Jesus.” Zeigler, McCurdy & Co.: Philadelphia. This is one Of the most interesting and superb contributions to sacred literature that we have seen for many a day. It is a volume of about 550 pages, devoted exclusively to the events of Scripture that- occurred at night, which are presented with great force of language and beauty of imagery. The work is elegantly illustrated with steel plates by the best of American artists, which give to it additional value, while the remainder of the mechanical work and material is of the most elegant description. It is a charming book to read, and no more elegant or nament for the parlor table or library has gone from the American press. , “Sight Scenes in the JBihle.”—! have received a copy of “Night Scenes in the Bible” by Rev. Dan iel March, and take pleasure in commending it to the public. It is a beautiful book, rich in thought and style, an. ornament for the parlor table, and a Cotton.—Receipts to-day none: sales 83 hales shipped 97.

The country is flooded with counterfeite of this important remedy, called Liver Regulators, Liver Medicines, Liver Inrigorators, etc., all professing to be the same as mine. Rut, as I go to the ex pense of putting a steel-engraved envelope upon every box of the genuine—containing my own min- ature and autograph—made by a regular hank note engraver, you have the meanB of avoiding imposi tion, and thus saving yourself and neighbors. The name “Liver Medicine”is my trademark. Whoever else uses it, use that which does not be long to them. And, as they do it for the purpose of selling a spurious preparation, in order to get money upon the reputation of the genuine, I feel it my duty to warn the public against all 6uch prepara tions and such proprietors. Ask for the Genuine Simmon’s Liver Medicine, prepared by Dr. M. A. Simmons, Iuka, Mississippi, and take no other. GROCERIES AND PROVISIONS. Trade in this line during the week in review has been moderately good, and except in the article of com prices have been steady at last week’s quota tions. Com has advanced about 10 cents per bushel dur ing the week, under a strong demand and an almost exhausted stock. We note, however, that a consid erable lot of com was received yesterday and to-day by some of the leading dealers in the article and for a few days they may be able to meet all ordina ry demands. Bacon is firmer and prices have advanced about # of a cent since Tuesday last. Flour continues dull aud drooping. Other articles quiet and unchanged.

The firm could not have selected a better one, as the greatest success has attended them in the past. Prompt, reliable, attentive, and with a new and commodious fire-proof Warehouse to conduct their business in, we predict for this firm a splendid sea son for ’69 and ’70. Refer to their card, planters, it is to yonr interest. Bagging.—During the present week some of onr merchants have received a considerable portion of their Bagging for baling the cotton crop of 1869. There is now a large quantity of haling material in this market—particularly iron ties. It is none too early to be attending to this branch of trade, or rather, to be preparing for it, as in years past the Macon market has supplied the planters of Central and Southwestern Georgia with a vast amount of this kind of material. Melons.—The market was abundantly stocked yesterday with aH kinds of melons. As yet, they command pretty tall prices, but they find a ready sale. A large, nice water melon is now as good for a dollar as a dime for a doughnut. M^pss. Jonathan Collins & Son, Cotton Fac tors and Commission Merchants, on Third street, are now thoroughly repairing and fitting up their large cotton warehouse for the accommodation of their planting friends in Central and Southwestern Georgia- The firm has done a very fino business the past season, and has given universal satisfaction. The senior partner is known among hosts of friends by the complimentary sobriquet of “Old Relibhle,” and it suits him precisely. The junior is a fine financier, and, like his father, is well posted in the cotton trade, and a good classifior. We fieel safe in assuring all readers of the Telegraph, particu larly the planters, that Jonathan Collins & Son will give complete satisfaction in regard to all busines*, or cotton, consigned.to them.

I am much pleased with the Book, and tliink it well suited to family reading and calculated to do good.” Jno. M. Beckwith, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church of Georgia. As pastors of Churches in this city, it affords us pleasure to say that from all the information we can gather, the “Night Scenes from the Bible,” by Dr. March, re a most interesting and valuable work. It is free from denominational bias; and is a presenta tion, in an original form and beautiful style, of many of the most important and interesting events m the Bible. We recommend it to the members of our congre gations. E. W. Warren, Pastor First Baptist Church. Joseph S. Key, Pastor Mulberry Street Church. J. Blakely Smith, Pastor First Street Methodist Church. Macon, March 12, 1869. A brief examination of “Night Scenes in the Bi ble” has led me to form a favorable opinion of its merits. Rev. Dr. March, the author, has here por trayed, with peculiar symplicity and patboB, some of ’ilime and touching scenes in Biblical the most sublime and'touching history. These striking sketches; in point of liter ary excellence and mechanical execution, may be fitly styled apples of gold in baskets of silver. To the youthful reader they possess all the charms of sacred poetry; and the maturer mind may cull from these polished pages choice lessons of instruction. We regard this as as a beautiful and useful book for the family. . David Wills, ■ Pastor of Presbyterian Church, Macon, Ga. April 15, 1869.

Board can be obtained at two excellent hotels, or in pleasent private families, at from $25 to 830 per month, which is less than half the average of board at other popular watering places.

Their medicinal effects will be experienced immediately. They are a powerful tonic; giving a good appetite aud building up an en feebled constitution from the commencement of their use. 5th. Add to ali these considerations the advantages of polite and pleasant society; a wonderfully bracing and salubrious climate; many sources of pleasant re creation, and the fact that Newnan is one of the best and cheapest retail markets (for even- -variety of goods) in the South, and it may be safely affirmed that no place can present such an array of attractions to visitors as this.
