Stale Fair—Additional Premiums.
In publishing the last list of additional prem
iums, an error was committed which has been
oopied into all the newspapers of the State—the
repetition of the work “fastest,” for “best,” in
the two last premiums for harness horses. We
are requested by the Secretary to beg our
friends of the press to notice and correct the
error, as the original publication substantially
duplicates the premiums offered. They should
read as follows:
For the fastest single harness horse—trot
ting ...$10,00
For tho fastest pair harness horses—trot
ting;....',. .. 10,00
(Open to the world.)
For the best horse-collar,' for plough and
wagon 10,00
For the best single harness horse—open to
tho world 10,00
For the best pair harness horses —open
to the world 20,00
Manufacture of Agricultural Imple
ments South.
With the rapid improvement in Southern ag-
ricnlfnrc, a heavy demand is arising for im
proved agricultural implements — a demand
which will certainly grow and increase pan
passu with tho demand for fertilizers, the bene
fit of which they are needed to supplement and
to insure. Every body feels it to bo wasteful
to expend large sums of money in gnanoes and
superphosphates upon land which has been
merely scratched over to the depth of three or
four inches, and which, consequently, gives no
dopth of loose and disintegrated soil for the
free extension of the fibrous roots of tho plant
—for tho absorption and retention of stores of
moisture, or even for the retention of the soil
and manure themselves upon hill-sides, where,
with light plowing, they are liable to be washed
away by heavy rains.
Tho consequence is that almost every pur
chase of commercial manure insures better cul
tivation of tbe land to which it is applied, and
with this better cultivation arises tho demand
for improved agricultural implements to effect
this end with proper economy.
We hope tho exhibition of first class farming
tools of every description at the State Fair in
Macon, will be so comprehensive, as to post all
our people fully in the latest improvements and
the most advanced ideas of American Agricul
ture every where.
But why should we in the South send abroad
our money for the purchase of the most effect
ive farming tools ? A friend in another county
writing privately to us upon the subject, says:
“This branch of manufacturing (in the North
and West) is now making profits varying from
fifty to one hundred per cent. I myself am pay
ing to a firm in New York eight dollars for a
plough, the prime cost of which is only three
dollars. This plough is the universal cotton
sweep of the Southern States, and from onef to
two millions’ worth are used annually, in every
conceivable form for cultivating the fields of
the cotton States.”
“I am paying a firm in Baltimore six dollars
for a plough that they charged me only three
dollars for before the war, and the prime cost
of which is only two dollars now.”
Now, who can donbt that a very successful
business in the manufacture of the best class of
agricultural implements is at the command of
anybody who will establish such an enterprise
on a proper foundation of skill and capital?—
Labor is cheaper here than in the Northern
States, and the lumber, which is the principal
material required, does not cost half as much,
whilo the iron and castings would probably cost
very little more. The protection offered to South
ern manufacturers of such goods in freights
alone would afford a considerable profit—for
the goods are bulky and the freights necessarily
high;
Why,then,8honld not some portion of our earn
ings find profitable employment in a complete,
well-appointed manufactory of agricultural im
plements provided with everything necessary to
turn out as tasteful and substantial work as can
be procured anywhere? The common fault
with farming implements made in the Sontb, is
their roughness and coarseness. But with pro
per appliances and skilled workmen these ob
jections can all be removed, and large snms
saved to onr section and profitable employment
furnished our own people, by a little well di
rected investment of capital and enterprise. Let
some energetic Georgians select some central
point accessible by railway to all parts of the
State, raise capital, bnild workshops, bny ma
chinery and set the enterprise in motion.
The State Fair—Invited Guests.
The anxiety manifested I by the. Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel, lest the managers of
the State Fair should compromise themselves
and the State of Georgia by some hasty, ill-con
sfdered,' indecorous or unbecoming action in re
spect to inviting Northern guests, entitles the
latter to the benefit of his opinions, remon
strances and protests. We therefore copy a
considerable portion of an article upon the sub
ject wliioh appears in that paper of tho 25th in
stant:
We are not so anxious to have them come as
to approve the proposition made by Bullock to
a Macon editor, and cordially endorsed by the
latter that the State should bear the expense of
a special train to be sent to meet them at
Lynchburg and bring them to Macon. We fail
to perceive any reason why these enemies of the
State and her people should receive such distin
guished consideration. We would much prefer
that the five or ten thousand dollars which it
would cost the Stato, should be spent in trans
porting free of charge the thousands cf worthy
citizens of upper Georgia who have been, by
the efforts of these “distinguished” Radicals,
plundered of their property, and who are now
too poor to pay their own expenses to Macon.
If the invitations to these leading Radicals
have been prompted by a desire on tho part of
the State Fair officials to conciliate the wrath
and appease tho vengeance of the Radical mind,
we think the conduct of the Governor of Iowa
in regard to the St Louis Convention shows
qnite conclusively that they have made a great
mistake. These Radicals, despite the cry of
peace, which is always on their lips, are as bitter
in their animosities, and as malignant in their
feelings toward the South to-day as at any time
during the war. If the Committee think they
can bny them np by such sycophantic attentions,
they are sadly ignorant of their character.—
They will accept your invitation, participate in
best to be a faithful citizen both of the United
States and of Georgia.
Gov. Bullock is Governor of Georgia by no
consent of ours; bat while occupying that ex
alted position; :/ nothing else did, our respect
for Georgia would require us to treat him with
the consideration due his exalted position, and
we should be sorry to believe that a single mem
ber of the Board of Management would com-
promit himself or the State Agricultural Society
by conduct or language to the Governor of
Georgia unbefitting the dignity of the officer or
the State. We leave the matter in the hands of
the Executive Committee,
Peeler Cotton.
Mr. G. L. Davis brings ns some handsomo
specimens of Feeler cotton stalks. One is from
Mr. H. T. Johnson’s place—a poor sand ridge—
being a stalk from four acres of cotton which
have yielded, so far, six thousand nine hundred
pounds of seed cotton. This cotton which had
sneenmbed to the drought, is now beginning to
pnt out an abundant top crop of fonns and
flowers—showing what it would have done with
timely rain. Also two stalks from the plantation of
his son, A. J. Davis, on the Tobesofkee. These
grew on bottom land and bolls are jnst be
ginning to open. They are so numerous it is
not worth while to count them. All are fine
stalks from five to six feet high. .
An AwfialGold story.
The Rome Commercial of Sunday speaking of
the gold diggings in Bartow county and of the
Gill mines, owned by a Boston .company, says
that discoveries will be exhibited that will as
tonish all the searchers after mineral wealth,
and nothing the like whereof has ever been
heard on the American continent. “Some of
onr most truthful citizens have seen specimens
of the ore and bear witness to the great value of
it. It is represented that one ton of the ore,
recently taken from the shafts, has been tested
and examined, and will yield twenty thousand
dollars!”
Pbdjtebs’ Union.—The fraternity have been
stirred np by onr incidental remarks upon
Trades Unions to answer, and we will give their
champion & hearing to-morrow, bat cannot in
dulge a controversy, because we have very little
space. We never have any quarrels with the
printers because we like them too well, and
don’t believe in family quarrels—anyway. Bnt,
nevertheless, we have a private opinion which
we never express in public—to-wit: that their
Printers’ Union is one of the grandest despotisms
on earth. Some of these nights when they go
home to supper, and are told by the good wife
that the negro women have formed a Union and
agreed—that nobody shall go out to service who
don’t belong to it—that neither master nor
mistress shall fix wages, employ, or discharge—
that mistress shall not ply .the'broom, or set the
able, or do any work about the house,, or allow
her children to do it, and shall not be permitted
to use l “little rugger for that purpose," except
one to every ten Union servants—when they see
this and a good deal more of the same kind of
staff, they will then begin to comprehend that
the powers they claim and exercise, as a high
prerogative, would atop the wheels of soeiety in
a general application to business and labor In all
their ramifications.
On enquiry at the mailing room the clerks
say it is forwarded as usual, and we cannot
therefor* say what is the matter. We clip the
following from the Faria Journal:
Tbs unfortunate man; Booth, alluded to in
our last issue as having been blown np in a
well, near; Rattodge, has since died.
ties, break bread at your board, tickle you with
their blarney, and then return to their homes,
ridicule your pretensions, scoff at yonr good
cheer, and find new reasons for continuing their
course of persecution and injustice.
We earnestly inquire of the State Fair officials
if, under the existing stato of feeling in tho
North toward the South, it would not be better
to attempt no particular parade over the Radi
cal Congressmen and Government officials. We
do not desire that any rudeness should be shown
them. If they have already been invited the
rules of genteel Southern society should not be
violated. They should be treated in every re
spect as all the other invited guests are treated.
But we insist that no attempt be made to show
them special consideration or particular honors.
In regard to the proposition made by Bullock
and endorsed by one of the Vico Presidents of
the society and the editor of a leading press in
Macon, we enter our earnest protest. We see
in it an attempt on tho part of Bollock to secure
for himself tho notice and association of gen
tlemen—to put himself prominently forward at
the Fair, and to secure a certain degree of re
spectability by his quasi official connection with
the Fair.
We oppose the proposition further because,
if carried out, many Northern and Western
gentlemen would be induced to come to the Fair
in that way, and we are not willing that they
should be forced into association in any way
with Bullock. It would be an insult to our
Northern friends to place them under the care
and subject them to the intimate association oi
such a man. Bullock is in no manner, nor in
no sense, the representative of Georgia intellect,
sentiment or honor. Ho is simply the prema
ture accident or cross resulting, from disgusting
political wedlock between ignorant negroes and
disreputable whites.
We have not been advised whether Bullock’s
proposition, made to Col. Clisby, has been con
sidered or finally acted upon. We know that
Col. Clisby, who is a Vice President of the so
ciety, and a gentleman of influence with the
committee, approves it That we may do this
gentleman no injustice wo copy the following
from one of his letters to the Telegraph while
on the recent press excursion. The italics are
our own:
Governor Bullock conversed with me to-night
upon onr approaching State Fair in Macon. He
is exceedingly anxious not only that it shall be
in every respect worthy of the State, bnt that it
shall secure the attention and attendance of em
inent men from other States. He, therefore,
proposed to me, as one of the Vice Presidents,
that if the Directory should think proper, and
would invite a sufficient number, say one hun
dred members of Congress and others, he tcnttld
send a train to Lynchburg, Va., under the di
rection of CoL Hulbert, to take, tbe party to
Macon. He, himself, would receive them at the
State line, and proceed with them to Macon.
The train cannot go further North than Lynch
burg. because the guage of the road there takes
the Northern standard four feet eight inches,
while our roads are five feet. I call attention
of the President, the Executive Committee and
the people of Macon to this liberal proposition.
1 concur with the Governor in tbe opinion that
this movement might effect very salutary re
sults.” [Italics interjected by the Chronicle
and Sentinel.]
Will the Secretary of the Society or Col. Clis
by inform the people whether the Society has
adopted the proposition of Bnllock?
In answer to this inquiry we have to say:
that the mere honorary position of Vice Presi
dent conferred on the person named, gave him
no authority in the management of the Fair.
2 hat is vested solely in an Executive Committee
of thirty intelligent and honorable gentlemen—
able to take care of their own dignity and that
of the State. They will meet on the 7th proxi
mo. and we trust and believe they will not hesi
tate to acoept the proposition of the Governor,
which we understood to be made for no other
purpose than in tho interests of the grand ob
jects of the Fair.
A member of the Board has addressed ns the
following remarks npon the general subject
matter of the Chronicle and Sentinel’s editorial:
“The policy contemplated by these invitations
was open and avowed in the face of them. It
was to conciliate, it was to counteract the im
pressions of Northern people that the South was
still hostile to the Union—that life and liberty
were not safe here—that we were unjust to the
freedmen—that we were intolerant of all North
ern men good or bad.
“Having such a policy, it was most important
for the end in view, that those men who were
deemed especially unrelenting and bitter against
the South, would come and see for themselves
what was the actual state of the case. The invi
tations were given with the confident belief that
those who would come would so bear themselves
as to be treated as gentlemen by those claiming
to be gentlemen. If the good influences which
might result from such intercourse between
leading men North and South is lost, it will be
a loss to be felt when these Northern men,
whose opinions and feeling were to be modified
by the look into affairs as they actually existed,
shall meet in the next session of Congress with
absolute power over ns in their hands and find
themselvesstill treated and regarded by the South
as thieves and hypocrites and liars. If the good
influence is lost it will be mainly attributable to
the unnecessary interference of newspapers in a
matter which was in perfectly safe hands.
“As to the proposition of Col. Hulbert, or Gov.
Bollock, to send a special train to Lychborg, to
convey invited gnests to Macon, I do no not
hesitate to say that so far as the question de
pends upon me the proposition will certainly be
accepted with the pride and pleasure that every
Georgian onght to feel when it is remembered
that after all the disasters through which the
State has had to pass, she still has a vitality and
energy and aim for the fntnre which enables
her to do what no other State can do—dart a
train of cars, if need be, half across a continent
to bring invited gnests to a festival within our
borders."
■We do not see that anything need be added to
wbat our friend has so forcibly written. The
views which actuate the Telegraph seem to dif
fer essentially from those entertained by the
Chronicle &, Sentinel. We are for peace, and
in favor of adopting every reasonable and honor
able measure to secure it We shall never wil
lingly or knowingly add a single ember to the
decaying fire of sectional strife, and having ac
cepted the fate of war, and taken the oath of al-
legianoe to the United States government, we
mean to stand by it in good faith and do onr

BRITISH GOODS AT THE FAIR—FOREIGN SHIPMENTS
OF COTTON—ENGLISH PRICE OF MONEY.
Col I). W. Lewis, Secretary State Agricultural
Society, of Georgia, Macon, Ga :
Dear Sir—I have yonr favor of 20th August
(enclosing commission) and note contents. Not
hearing from you on my first arrival here, I con
cluded that you had given np the idea of &p-
poing me agent in Europe and took no farther
steps in the matter. Now I fear it is too late to
get such a display of Enropean goods as I would
like to do, but I will do my best, devoting my
attention (as yon request) particularly to Agri
cultural implements, seeds, etc.
I like your idea of making the “Georgia State
Agricultural Society" an agency through which
members and others can order directly from the
producers and manufacturers, and I would not
be surprised if this would be the great inaugu
ration of “Direct Trade.” Why could hot the
members of yonr society form themselves into a
great “Planters’ Supply Association” and ship
their cotton through an agent appointed by them,
selves, the agent drawing for such amounts as
they might require for immediate wants, I re
ceive the cotton here, sell it to the best advan
tage and return the proceeds either in supplies
or hard cash ?
The advantage of such an arrangement would
be, that, should the market decline, money to
meet the drafts could be got here, on security
of the Cotton or bill of lading for the Cotton, at
24 per cent a year instead of 2i per cent, a
month. Borrowers in Georgia have to pay, of
course, the Agents commissions and mine; al
though very handsome to each of us, thoy would
be a mere nothing compared to tho profits Cot
ton has to pay in passing through so many
hnnd3.
I wish you would give this idea your serious
attention and see if some such project cannot
be carried out. You will hear from mo again
when I seo what can be done in the way of con
tributions to the Society Fair.
Yours very truly, J. S. Hutton,
Agent G. S. Agricultural Society, in Europe.
T. II. Bivins’ $100 Premium for a
Plow.
Editors Telegraph: Agricultural mechanics
have been a specialty with us for thirty years.
During this period we have given to the indus
trial husbandry of the Cotton States tho most
ecconomical and practical labor-saving imple
ment of the age. We appreciate as much as
any man the motives that actuates this gener
ous offer. Liko all true benefactors, no doubt,
Mr. Bivins is striving to ameliorate his own con
dition ; and the impulse of a generous nature
prompts the alleviation also of his race—in ‘ ‘cast
ing about” for a plow by which “two blades
may be, where only one grew before.”
He may save his money and with one-tenth of
it purchase of Messrs. E. Whitmore & Sons, of
Baltimore, a two horse “Reynolds” plow with
three extra wrought points. In this is embraced
aft,that can bo obtained, at present, of the
mould board plow adapted to the character of
his soil. These gentlemen manufacture, also,
and send thousands of them to the Cotton States,
one horse mould plows, called “50” and “CO."
None that we have seen, or used, can equal
these for fallowing the soft and pliable cotton
lands of the South. We have employed them
for twenty years, under different modifications
of the mould board, and had our annual stock
for ten years from this factory, and found these
gentlemen uniformly just and liberal.
In the total absence of all manufacturing in
this branch in Georgia, the plow-holders of this
State are having a rough time, and the inven
tive genius of the land, combated at every step,
in the race for superior talent in this section.
The capitalists of Georgia are deeply afflicted
with “Spindles and Looms” on the brain ; not
realizing the result of “cause and effect," and
that these are absolutely dependent upon the
success and “speed of the plow.” Of the capi
tal of the State there is not a dollar, legitimately
invested in the forging or manufacturing of
plows—an urgent and extensivo demand is an
nually anticipated and met, to the amount of
three million of dollars by the implement dealers
and manufacturers of the North and West, and
like mnny of the infamous fertilizers, two-thirds
are not worth the freight from the points of do-
livery to the fields they mock and plunder.
Like onr friendBivens, we have gone through
the fire, and, after being badly burnt, applied
our own remedy and have been cured. We re
gret he did not give his post-office address, that
we could talk to him on this abiding subject and
“give in onr Experience."
Cotton—Fertilizers—Mr. Dicksou.
LETTER PROM P. T. GRAVES, ESQ.
From the Ilaynerilfe Examiner.
I have recently retamed from an extensive
reconnoisance of the cotton prospect of Georgia,
with an eye directed specially to the use of con
centrated fertilizers, and the results. Bringing
to my aid (whenever practicable) the demon
stration of facts, or, where these could not be
reached, forming my judgment from a close in
spection of the prospect.
My trip was greatly facilitated by tho liberal
railroad system of that State—a liberality which
invites travel by cheap fare and close connec
tions, stopping at such points as promised the
most satisfactory results to my explorations. I
found the people of Georgia generally enthused
on the cotton question. Merchants, planters,
lawyers, doctors, women and children, had it
“on tho brain” even worse than in this country,
with one symptom there, in addition to its gen
eral type here, which greatly intensifies the
question, viz: Fertilizers. In this State this
feature is sporadic, in Georgia epidemic and
confluent. From Atlanta to Macon, thence to
Milledgeville and Sparta, thence through South
west Georgia to Eufaula—stopping at every
place where a fancy operation had gained noto
riety to see it, and, of my own judgment form
an opinion.
As the result of that examination, I give it as
my judgment that the crop of Georgia will be
greatly less than an average—caused by the
late planting, with a general and protracted
drought, which had produced rust ana blight to
an extent unprecedented. In the most of South
west Georgia, abont Fort Valley, Americas, Al
bany and Cnthbert, the crop was all open and
many fields clean picked. (No worms had vis
ited the cotton within the range of my observa
tions.)
The result of this year's use of fertilizers set
tles the question as to its profit with Georgians.
The undivided unanimous decision is that it
pays and pays largely! Estimates in different
farms, made as carefully as I could conduct
them, and on a large variety of soils, show be
yond question an increase of four to six-tenths
in production over similar crops unfertilized
(everything else being equal.) Think of that!
I visited the farm of David Dickson, near
Sparta, Hancock county, to satisfy my mind as
to some points which no amount of written ex
planation could made clear, to see his land, his
implements and particularly to see what he con
sidered Dickson's Unproved cotton. The season
has been a severe one in his part of the state;
no rains since April, and as a consequence his
feelings are not pleasant Yet the practical eye
recognizes in every routine of that immense
farm the evidence of a master in the art of
planting. An ignorant man of the qlden time,
delving with undeviating purpose to the goal of
bis only ambition, viz: To make money.
TTis land is mostly sandy pine land, with
sound clay underneath. Thousands of acreB
are like it in Butler, Pike and other counties.
His cotton crop this year will yield from GOO to
800 pounds per acre, while crops in the neigh
borhood, on similar land under the same influ
ences, worked in the ordinary ways, are so sti
fled and poverty-stricken as to be below an esti
mate, say 200 pounds, showing that from 400 to
GOO pounds are to be credited to deep plowing,
surface culture and $12 worth of fertilizers per
acre. Mr. Dickson says he never experiments,
but that his suooess or rather profit had been
invariable from the use of guano, and this year
his investment would return him 100 per cent.,
notwithstanding the drouth which had reduced
his reasonable estimate to one half. His fancy
patch (fifty acres) is small, yet will make
from 1,200 to 1,500 pounds per acre. This
is where he raises Ins select feed, and well
has he selected that. A rigid conformity to
a uniform type has been secured. In so per
fect a manner has this been done that I would
be nnable to make a selection from it. His en
tire crop of 1500 aores is planted in this cotton.
His rows are uniformly 4 feet apart with the
cotton plants from 8 to 12 inohes, 3 and 4 in a
bunch. His nursery, however, has much more
space on the row and one stalk. After the crop
is planted no plow enters the ground beyond two
inches. He uses winged sweeps entirely, which
leaves the field as level as the earth’s snrfaoe un
disturbed. This applies to com and cotton.
Before the war, Davy Dickson was a Georgia
farmer, sold cotton, com, wheat, beef andpork.
Now cotton is his specialty. Yours,
P. T. Graves.
The Gold Panic.
LIVELY TIMES AMONG THE BULLS AND BEARS.
New York, September 24.—The excitement
growing out of gold speculation resulted this
morning in an absolute panic. At 9:15 a. m.,
1474 was bid for gold, and quickly the price ad
vanced to 153. At the opening of the gold room
tho price was held at 150 bid, and 151 asked;
and the bulls offered to make settlements with
the shorts on that basis. Few, however, ac
cepted the overture, being prevented by the
hope that something might be done at Washing
ton to relieve the market. The anxiety for
news from that quarter was intense, and the
hope that the Treasurer might interfere, was
strengthened by the fact that numerous and
very urgent remonstrances were made to the
President and Secretary of the Treasury by
parties who there was reason to expect would
have influence with tho administration, bnt not
a word came from the Government, and while
the bears were waiting the bulls were carrying
up tho price by rapid jumps to 1G2J.
Near noon tho shorts surrendering all hope
began to accept the offer of a settlement, and
some operators most horribly short compromis
ed on the basis of 148alSO. About noon an or
der came from tho Secretary of the Treasury to
sell to-morrow four millions gold and purchase
an amount equal the amount of bonds. The
order, however, did not come until the bulls had
completed a settlement at abont 150, and the
main operations of the bulls having been con
summated, there was a sudden drop to 134 by
p. M. Contrary to expectation tho speculation
culminated without any effort to compel the
payment of the extraordinary rate for borrow
ing. On the contrary, while the price was bo-
ing carried up to over 1G0, the bulls were offer
ing from -J to 1 per cent, per day for having
their gold carried according to the correct re
port.
The bull clique claims to have made an even
million out of their operations, and losses on
the other side mast be equal. One prominent
gold broker, Mr. A. G. Speyors, who was con
spicuous this momihg for bidding 1G0 for one
million in gold when the price was 185, had
failed to take up the gold, and in defence, made
a statement in tho gold-room this afternoon to
the effect that tho gold he bought yesterday
was for Mr. TV. Bolden, and, this bid for gold
at 160 to-day was on account of James Fisk, Jr.,
and his inability to deliver arose from both par
ties not having given him any margin. He did
not explain why he bid 1 GO when gold could
have been bought at 135. Mr. Speyers’ conduct
in other respects during the day, was such as to
suggest the idea that he was under some hallu
cination; bnt a report current on tho street that
he had been placed in the care of his friends
does not appear to have been correct.
The enormous transactions in the gold room
have produced a complete blank in business.
In the gold exchange bank it has been impossi
ble to effect all the clearances within the usual
hour, and the result has been that brokers were
nnable to make settlement of their accounts,
and several firms have been forced into tempo
rary suspension, with serious embarrassment to
the whole. Several firms are placed in a posi
tion of having their margins locked up in the
gold exchange bank and being nnable to get
their funds, are unable to make their account
good with their bank, and them fore cannot give
their check in settlement of claims.
Among tho failures are A. O. Speyers, Belden
& Co.; P. H. Williams, Jr. Lotmage, Hunter &
Co.; Charles McClure & Co., S. B. Waller7and
William Heath & Co. The two latter firms as
sure their creditors of their entire ability to
make advances good so soon as they are able to
get possession of their funds by the completion
of the gold clearances, and there is apparently
good probability none of the other names men
tioned will prove to be permanent failures. The
Express says the closing of the day, which was
the most eventful one in the history of Wall
Street, was comparatively calm, although in all
directions were gathered small crowds of brokers
and speculators,talking over the exciting scenes.
It is stated officially that the gold exchange
bank will be able to make their settlements by
5 or 6 o’clock this evening, when the leading
brokers will make a settlement with Wall street
Some, however, may not be able to straighten
out their affairs before to-morrow. Yesterday’s
clearances of tho gold exchange bank, represent
ing Wednesday's business, amounted to §324,-
523,000, but to-day’s transactions must have
largely exceeded that amount. The treasury an
nouncement is as follows:
New York, September 24 — Notice. — The
Government reserves the right to accept the
bids made at 12 o’clock to-morrow in excess of
four million, for gold or bonds, in its discretion.
By direction of the Hon. Secretary of the
Treasury.
[Signed] Daniel Butterfield,
Assisstant Treasurer.
Running Freight Trains on Sunday.—This is
prohibited in Georgia, as will be seen by the
following extract from the Code:
“If any freight train shall be run on any rail
road in this State on the Sabbath day (known as
Sunday) tho superintendent of the transporta
tion of such railroad company, or the officers
having charge of that department of the busi
ness of the railroad, shall be liable toindictment
for a misdemeanor in each connty. through
which such train shall pass; and on conviction
shall be fined for each offense a sum not exceed
ing five hundred dollars. On sach trials it shall
not be necessary to allege or prove the names
of the employees engaged on such train, but
the simple fact of the train being run. The de
fendant may justify himself by proof that such

A Remarkable Old Man.—Mark Twain thus
describes, in the Buffalo Express, a remarkable
citizen of that place: “John Wagner, the old
est man in Buffalo—one hundred and four years
—recently walked a mile and a half in two
weeks. He is as cheerful and bright os any of
those other old men that charge aronnd so in
the newspapers, and is in every way as remark
able. Last November he walked five blocks in
a rain storm, without any shelter but an um
brella, and cast his vote for Grant, remarking
that ho had voted for forty-seven Presidents—
which was a lie. His second crop of rich brown
hair arrived from New York yesterday, and he
has a new sot of teeth coming from Philadel
phia. He is to be married next week to a girl
of ono hundred and two years old, who still
takes in washing. They have been engaged
eighty years, but their parents persistently re
fused to consent until three days ago.
Buffalo Hunting.—Buffalo shooting on the
plains must bo famous sport, unless the letter-
writers are all Munchausens. Tho heroine of
one story is Sophie Tallniadge, of Golnmbns,
Ohio, who was in the party of Gen. Cnstar,
Lords Paget and Waterpark, and other swells.
“Ten miles of prarieland,” says the account,
“had been ridden over when Custargave the
view halloo, and the entire party charged upon
and scattered a herd of buffaloes that appeared
to the westward. Foremost in the wild dash
thofleet courser of Miss T&llmadge bore her,
until she found herself on the track of a huge
bull. Fall five miles of the prarie the bay
spumed beneath his heels before the Bide of the
old fellow was reached. Two quiok, well-direct
ed shots from a Colt’s revolver, that Miss Sallie
carried, brought the bison to a halt. The big
bull settled slowly to his knees, bellowed and
rolled over—dead. Her blood was np. Quiok
as a flash, she wheeled and made for a second
quarry, another sharp gallop, three shots, and
the thing was over. Eighty buffalo were slaught
ered in this day's hunt. Cnstar killed nine,
Lord Paget six, and Lord Waterpark five, but it
may be easily imagined that Miss Tallmadge
was the heroine of the day.” Sophie’s farther
exploits are sleeping only three nights in a bed,
camping out all the rest of the time.
Pretty Shard.—It seems that the President
has settled the great controversy over the Louis
ville post-office by appointing a woman to the
position. So the men cannot be jealous of each
other, and they are too gallant to be jealous of
• lady. , /

New York Money Market.
New York, Sept. 27 Suits have been commenced
by attachment against Alexander Belden and Alex
ander McKinley and Georgo W. Hooker, for secre
ting property to defraud creditors, etc.
Charles Callender, National Bank Examiner, de
clares that every national bank in the city, including
tho Tenth is Bound and conservatively managed.
The monoy market became much easier in the
afternoon, and at the close call loans were freely
supplied at 7 in currency to gold. Gold quotations
during tho stoppage of tho board aro more or less
nominal. Strict prices during tho day varied from
131% to 135, closing at 34(535. Exchange quiet
and firm, but quotations nominal at 8. Stocks im
proved at first with easiness of money, but closed
lower, dull and unsettled.
Tho dead lock in the Gold Exchange Bank contin
ues and causes much embarrassment. There have
been no transactions in the gold hoard in conse
quence, and after ineffectually endeavoring to ob
tain statements of Thursday’s and Friday’s busi
ness from tho Gold Exchange Bank, the board ad
journed until to-morrow.
Several injunctions have been issued by the
courts restraining the Gold Exchange Bank from
paying over deposits and checks, which tends to
complicate affairs and retard settlements.
Tho Supreme Court has issued a number of in
junctions against the Gold Exchange Bank and sev
eral Wall street brokers.
Build Them Up.—There are, within a radius of
five hundred yards of this office,Yuliy one hundred
vacant lots that ought to have neat and conveniently
arranged dwelling booses upon them. Such build
ings are now in great demand, and they would pay
capitalists a very handsome dividend if they would
put them up. We know of at least a dozon small
families now boarding, who would gladly pay a
reasonable rent for small residences, convenient to
the heart of the city and to their business. The
writer of this article has boon hunting, during the
last week, for a small family residence within four
or five hundred yards of this office, but has failed
to find it; but in his travels has found many a va
cant and beautiful building lot, lying as dead capital
in the hands of their owners. On each of these lot*
could he erected small family residences, at a cost
of $1200 or $1500, which could be easily rented for
$30 or $40 per month.
. It is true that two or three houses in the outskirts
of town are advertised for rent and one or two
are offered for sale; bnt they are too far from the
heart of the city for a man to walk, at ten or
twelve o’clock at night, or after business hours
close; and hence we see those gentlemen who would
gladly pay good rents for. houses near their busi
ness, seeking hoard at the hotels and hoarding
houses, at about double what it would cost to keep
house, to say nothing of the comforts of. feeling at
home and living as one pleased.
Go to the bulletin boards of our real estate agents
and see what chances you have to rent a neat little
family residence, near the bnsinesB portion of town,
and you will not find a solitary one offered for rent,
and the agents will toll you there are no such resi
dences vacant and they cannot supply you. .
If the vacant lots to which we have alluded had
residences upon them, we might have nothing to
say on this subject; but as long as they lie there in
idleness, wo can but believe, ay, we know their own
ers are losing money on them. Now they are bring
ing in nothing and all the while taxes are being paid
upon them, but if they were moderately improved,
they would not only pay their taxes, but also pay a
handsome dividend upon the cost of improvements.
We write the foregoing in the hope that it will
call tho attention of real estate owners and capital
ists to the subject, believing that they will see and
feel the importance of carrying out the suggestion.
It will most certainly “pay.”
Marine Disaster,
New Orleans, September 27—The steamship
Trade Wind, Capt. Morrill, which sailed hence on
the 22d inst. for Belize, Honduras, went down at

Horrible Outrage.—On last Friday a young
lady named Jennie Conley, residing near Den

house by a negro named Jeff. Johnson, who in
flicted several blows upon her head with an iron

Caught.—About ten days ago we chronicled a
most dastardly mean and contemptible act which a
man named Donalson had perpetrated on a widow
lady in Atlanta, enticing her, under false promises,
to sell all her furniture and follow him to this city,
where, he said, he would give her and her children
employment at good wages, and after getting the
proceeds of the sale in his possession, brought the
lady and children to Macon and then deserted them
—among strangers and without a dollar. An effort
was made to arrest the scoundrel but he made his
escape, for the time. We learn, however, that he
was arrested on Saturday last in Augusta, and that
an officer of our police force started last night for
tho purpose of bringing the wretch back, and will
not only make him return the money to the woman,
if ho has it, but will hand him over to the author
ities as one of the vilest swindlers that has passed
through this section for years.
Spottswood Hotel.—By this name the Byington
Hotel of this city will hereafter be known. Mr.
James D. Sublett, senior proprietor, has been con

of entertainment in the country, and is one of the
immortal few who “know how to keep a hotel.”
Mr. Charles W. Byington, junior proprietor, is a
young gentleman so well known and so popular
with the traveling public that nothing we could say
would add anything to his well-earned repntation.
Under the direction of Mr. Sublett, the hotel is to
be immediately remodeled on the inside, and when
the changes proposed are completed, they will add
vastly to the convenience of both guests and pro
prietors. A choice suit of porters and servants aro
being collected and every arrangement made to
make the Spottswood Hotel equal to any in the cctui-

Rain On the 26th of August last we had a
shower of rain, accompanied by much thunder,
lightning and wind, and from that time until yes
terday forenoon, not one drop of rain fell in the
city; but at that hour a most refreshing rain fell,
and was followed by others, at intervals, during the
rest of the day.
The shower which fell about two o’clock, however,
was the shower of the day, and was introduced by a
pretty strong and festive gale which treated the
handsome young mailing clerk of this establish
ment most scandalously, as it blew out at the win
dow of his private room in this office, and into the
rain and mud oh the streets, sundiy articles of
soiled wearing apparel, which he was laying aside to
turn over to his washwoman, so soon as he could
raise the “spondulicks” to settle the bill. From the
look3 of the garments as they lay scattered about
the streets, we opined that a little rain mixed with
soap instead of mud, would not hurt their appear
ance much.
State Fair Bulletin.—An advertisement of this
valuable document appears in our columns, and by
perusing it tbe reader can get full particulars as to
its contents and the purposes for which it will be is
sued. Twenty-five thousand copies are to be dis
tributed during the first and second weeks of Octo
ber, and. it will, of course, be the greatest adverti
sing medium to business men ever offered in the
State. Mr. N. Pinbbam, the gentlemen who will is
sue this Bulletin informs us that business men are
handing in their cards with great rapidity, and those
who do not desire to be left out in the cold, had
better attend to the matter at once. For items etc.,
refer to the advertisement, or address N. Pinkham,
Macon, Ga.
The Weather.—Since onr last the weather baa
undergone another complete change. After raining
till about midnight on Saturday, the wind veered
around to the North and by daylight on Sunday not
a cloud could be seen and the temperature of the
atmosphere was lowered fully ten degrees. Yester
day was a beautiful day, and the streets being free
from dust, we noticed many ladies out shopping—a
matter they have not had a fair chance to attend to
during the last month. -
Mayor’s Court.—Tkare were four cases docketed
in this Court yesterday, one or two of winch were
oif rather a graver nature than usual.
The first offender brought up was a negro named
Allen Johnson. Ho had been stealing, as the testi
mony clearly established, and was ordered on the
streets for thirty days, or he could pay $20 and get
out of it. Like a sensible fellow he planked down
the cash and departed.
Officer Plunkett then introduced a man to the
Court who had imbibed intoxicating beverages until
he did not know how to behave himself. The in
discretion cost him $5 and costs.
Henry Donton’s case—an attempt to violate the
person of a little child—-was continued. Henry is a
half idiot negro, who has been in the hospital for
some time, and it was near that institution the at
tempt was made.
David Lewis, a negro thief, was then brought for
ward by officers Pridgen and Wood, and a bare
statement of the case was sufficient to prove the
fact that David had been stealing; so he was pat
on the streets to work for thirty days. Served him
right.
Stock Raisino.—Col. Hawkins, of Barbour coun
ty, Alabama, was in our office yesterday afternoon,
and informed ns that he had just returned from the
'‘blue grass” region of Kentucky, where he had pur
chased a horse worth three thousand dollars and
about twenty-five brood.mares, and intended to try
stock raising in his part of Alabama, during tbe
next few years. He lives in a very beautiful and
favorable portion of the State for such an enterprise,
and we have no donbt will be successful.
We take special pleasure in recording all such ef
forts on the part of Southern men to work ont their
own and the country's independence. Why may we
not raise our own horses and mules, our own sheep,
cattle and hogs ? Why may we not manufacture onr
own clothing and raise our own breadstuff* ? Why,
in a word, may we not be independent ?
Eighth Georgia Regiment—We see it announc
ed in the papers that Dr. J. A. Pamour, of this' city,
proposes to write a history of this regiment, from
the date of its organization to the dose of the war,
and requests all parties in possession of any impor
tant facte connected with the organization, to com
municate the same to him by letter.

Hold Your Cotton—A gentleman just returned
from New York, who has had great experience w ,
cotton buyer, and has really done nothing else sines
the war closed, informed ns yesterday that tbs
planters of tbe South were now playing into th e I
hands of speculators most admirably, in rushing
their cotton on the market. It was just what tin
New York buyer* and speculators wanted. Three
weeks ago cotton was firm in New York at 35 call
per pound, but just so soon as the planters got
ready to sell, tho price immediately receded tots
and 80 cents, with a strong effort on thepartol
the bears to still further, reduce it. Our friend
stated that there was not a cotton buyer in hn
York, of any intelligence or reliability, who dees not
believe that cotton will go to 35 or 40 cents pa
pound in that market, by or before the first of ner,
May; and they candidly and openly express such c
opinion among themselves; and are laughing s
their sleeves at tbe rush the planters are cow mil.
ing upon the market Jnst so soon as the bull of I
the cotton crop iB ont of the bands of planters, aai I
a close guess can be made of the year’s crop, tbes
you will Bee a reaction in the price that will ote-
ishyou. Onr friend expressed real mortifistics
and shame at the manner in which the pluten
were blindly injuring themselves jnst now, and ex
pressed the belief that even before Christmas,tier
would rue their present snicidal policy.
We have the foregoing from a gentleman vbo
knows, perhapB, as much about cotton andthtcci-
ton market as any gentleman in.Georgia: onevhc
is familiar with the present animns of New Toil
speculators, and knows precisely what their gas J
is, and we give his views and advice as worth some j
thing.
Representation in the Commercial Owmat
