Riilon Telegraph : I send you tho following report of »n experiment made this year with on? acre of land, planted in cotton, its yiold, jnltiration, etc.; also, its tests of several differ, ent kind* of cotton seed, such as the Peeler, )!oini. Diion, Boyd’s, Prolific, Alvarado, Texan ^ Oaka. Brazil and the Massey seed. All varieties of seed I planted on this acre, v poor, pine land, (a ridge) as there is any- „tert in this settlement in cultivation the pres- ent yew. The main idea with mo was, to test the dif ferent kinds of seed on the samo land, same pfcnghing and the same cultivation every way, oa the poorest land I had in cultivation, in or* ia to see what deep ploughing and shallow eol ation would do, with the use of fertilizers. He cotton was planted four feet each way, one Btlk in a hill—now and then two in a hill. I ti« gathered, up to to-day, 144G pounds, and, I think, will gather yet to open about 50 or 75 pounds more, which will make about 1500 Weekly Resume ol Foreign Affairs, j These signals aro produced by means of THE ONONDAGA GIANT. prepared for the GEORGIA telegrapii- J eighteen, different flags, exclusive of the na- Scientific Examination by the Board of Great Britain.

Even as bad as this year has been, I ib satisfied and almost fully convinced that, if lhad planted this acre four feet by two feet, it ronld have doubled, or made 3000 pounds. Xow, as to the seed. I procured, last spring, o( Mr. George L. Massey, enough of seed of his Improved variety to plant two-thirds of this tete, and the balance of the acre of the varieties ibwe specified. The Massey cotton has more than doubled any and all of the other kinds ex empt the Dixon, and it has yielded about one- third more than tho Dixon. These seed I got from Mr. Massey, grown last year in a small patch of ground, which was the best cotton I arer saw,<*., the best stalks of it. It had double limbs and a double row of bolls and forms on every limb—which, of course, makes a greater yield than any cotton I ever saw. I ploughed this acre fourteen inches deep at list; then bedded in the usual way and cultiva ted with a winged sweep, the first old Georgia pattern, the best sweep out in my opinion. This land was cleared about 1841 or ’42, and has nev er been fertilized before but well fertilized this year with genuine Peruvian Gnano, without any Bixtnre. Any one who may wish to purchase any of thin double limbed and doable row of bolls on each limb, can bny them in small quan tities at $4 50 per bnshel of Mr. George L.

Editors Telegraph : Your note of warning to the people of Macon and the Committee of the State Fair came none too soon. There will truly be a large number of visitors, if we shall form an estimate from the preparations going on in ibis region. A gentleman remarked to us a few days since, “That will be a grand exhibition at Macon. I hear more of it than I did of the Paris Exposition.” The manufacturing interests of this city will no doubt be well represented there. Messrs. Dodge, Rhorer & Co., promise to make a con tribution of their “perfect plow” which now baa a just claim to the championship of three States. Messrs. Carhart & Card and Wrigley i Knott, of Macon, keep these superior imple ments on sale, and the planters of Georgia will be gratified to know where they can be had *hen they see their merits tested at the ap- Poaching Fair. Messrs. Mnldoon, Bnllitt & Co., proprietors of Ihe immense steam marble works in this city, ud at Carrara, Italy, will send some of their handsome marbles, which we are sore the citi- mns of Macon will appreciate. They were the purchasers at Carrara, Italy, of the original Pond monument, which may now be seen in Cave Hill Cemetery, near this city. The name **s chiseled out, and it now bears another in- I Option. The one in Bose Hill is an exact I C0 Py of it except the central figure of the angel. Messrs. Peters & "Webb, whose pianos have '■den numerous premiums over Northern mam &t'tnrers, will also contribute some of their 6egant instruments to the exhibition. Their littery here is conducted on a large scale, and ~eir pianos have stood the test of years. Many others will send goods of superior [ -erit, and mnch of the interest of the exhibi- | ton will be duo to the flattering notice given by •ie Courier-Journal, which you may have no- fctd in a recent issue.

The Loudon press pay8 a just tribute of gratitude to the memory of the dead, whose name will forever live as a lustrous star in American history. The mortal remains "of the Earl of Derby were scarcely convoyed to the vault in Knows- ley, where his ancestors are resting from all earthly strife, when the decease of another prominent member of the English nobility is an nounced. Sir Richard Grosvenor, Marquis of Westminster, died at the age of 74 years. It ia said that his yearly income exceeded by far that of any of his peers. TheDnblin Amnesty Association, in an assem bly held in London, has unanimously adopted a resolution regretting that Gladstone refuses to release the Fenian prisoners, and declaring that the Association would continue the agitation throughout the country. It seems to bo certain, however, that the resolution of the Premier will not be shaken unless the demonstrations lose their imperative tone, demanding, as an net of justice, what the Government considers to be an act of clemency. In the meantime, Archbishop Cullen, in a pas toral letter, exhorts all Catholics to separate from all Fenian organizations and similar secret societies. Pointing out the evils which the ac tivity of secret societies have produced in Spain and Italy, he threatens all members of such or ganizations with excommunication. The “Times,” in a leading article, speaks of the rapidly increasing importation of wheat from the United States of America. The writer, al luding to the question, how far America will be enabled to compete with Russia and Central Europe, when at some future time the railway net in those countries will be completed, is of opinion that the United States must earnestly endeavor to reduce the freight and similar ex penses by increasing the means of communica tion with the Mississippi. France.—Paris has continued perfectly quiet. The more deliberate deputies of the opposition have come to the conclusion that demonstrative and revolutionary measures will only tend to ex tinguish the lightof liberty which is just dawning upon “Imperial France.” Also, publicopinion is more and more inclining to the belief that the victory of liberal ideas may be sooner expected from parliamentary debates than revolutionary demonstrations. The Government, compre hending that it is obliged to meet the foe in legal parliamentary warfare, wishes to disarm him before the lists aro thrown open for the combat. Therefore a series of liberal measures has been announced, some of them of high im portance. The surplus of sixty millions of francs which is connted upon for next year, shall be employed to reduce the “octroi,” to in crease the pay of elementary teachers and sub altern State officials, and to promote theerectien of pnblic works. The future must teach ns whether Napoleon will succeed in giving the second Empire a surer foundation by adopting the parliamentary regime. Shonld the trial prove a failure, it will, probably, be but his own fault, because he cannot make np his mind to resign really his cherished absolu tists ideas. France wishes for no revolution; but at the same time she objects to the present state which places the weal and woe of the land within the hands of a single man. Eugenie had arrived at the Suez Canal. Her yacht “The Eagle” being found to draw too much water, she sent orders for a vessel of smaller draught as she is determined on passing the GanaL There are two seats vacant in the French Academy by the death of Lamartine and Saint Beuve; the last three candidates found woithy of joining the “Immortal Forty,” Count d’ Hanssonville for Yiennet, Count de Champagny for Berryer, and Barbier for Emsis, have not yet delivered their introductory speeches. North German Confederation.—Yon der Heydt, Prussian Minister of Finances, has re signed. His successor is Ludolf Camphansen, a man of liberal ideas, who once already held the same position. Von der Heydt was obliged to give way to the attacks of the Liberals, who accuse him of making out too large a deficit with a view of inducing the House to grant new taxes, which afterwards cannot be repealed without the consent of the government. For at present the Parliament has the right to increase taxes, bnt it is beyond its power to rednee them without the sanction of the government. It is, therefore, perfectly clear that the grant of new subsidies requires the ntmost caution. The deputies Lasker and Mignel introduced a bill, extending the jurisdiction of the Confederation over the whole civil law. Consuls for San Domingo and Cape Hayti,have been appointed. The Germans residing in Lima and Callao, Peru, have sent a petition to Count Bismarck, expressing the wish of having a representative of tho North German Confed eration in Fern. On the 8th of October, seven years ago, Bis marck assumed the direction of the Prussian State. The first voyage of the steamer Fulton,belong ing to the new Now York Stettin steamship line took place under evil auspioes. On her trip from New York and also on her return voyage,she was obliged to put in for repairs. A Babel-like chaos of tongues reigned on board the vessel, the emigrants being composed not only of Ger mans, representing all the different dialects of the Fatherland, bnt also of Danes, Norwegians, Swedes, Russians, Sclavonic Bohemians, Eng- TH* EIGHT HOUR LAW.

A Sketch of the SlasrniHcent Enterprises or the New York Dry Goods Prince. A New York letter says: Among toe future buildings of New York, there is none whioh, for both utility and great ness of conception, will exceed toe two mam moth hotels whioh are to be erected by A. T. Stewart, one for yonng workingwomen, and the other for yonng men, and for which he some time ago appropriated the sum of $6,000,000. That for yonng women is to be situated on Fourth avenue, between Thirty-second and Thirty-third streets, and here the excavations are being made and toe foundations laid. The buildings will be six stories in height, surmount ed by a large Mansard roof, npon toe summit of which twelve towers, twenty-four feet in height and width, will be built, and upon toe street angles of the building similar turrets will be also placed, making tons ten in number, which will form graceful crowns to toe heavy structure The Rome Fair. All Cherokee Georgia and a large portion of East Alabama wero in a high state of excitement over the Fair at Rome last week. We visited the place, and were amply repaid , for the time and money spent on. the ' trip. For the first ex periment of the kind, it was a success—both in toe variety and quality of the articles exhibited, and in toe financial linethe receipts being very heavy. The exhibition of horses, though not extremely large, was fine. Capt. Styles, of Stylesbora, exhibited toei best saddle horse we ever saw in Georgia. , Capt May, of Rome, ex hibited a remarkably fine and beautiful stallion, with several of his Milts, that we don’t' think could be beat anywhere. One of these colts, only fourteen months old, was exhibited fre quently under the saddle; and made all the fancy saddle gaits. It appeared to be perfectly broke, and was ridden by a lad of~ some twelve or thirteen years of age. Another of those colts,. only sixteen months old, weighed over eight hundred pounds. This is evidently a very fine stock of horses. The display of cattle was meagre. We saw only two fine cows. There were quite- a number of extraordinary, large hogs. The display of. agri cultural implements was large.. There.were, reapers, threshers, mowers,, faps, gins, com- shelters, cider mills? sorghum mills and-plows innumerable. The indefatigable Brinley was. there with his favorite plows, and plenty of plow talk. Here, as everywhere he goes, both hiuiself and his plows, win golden opinions. - There was also a great'variety of grain, roots. and other farm produce. In toe fancy depart-' moat quite a display of works of art were, to be seen—and the ladies had innumerable pretty and nseia’ things on exhibition. McBride & Co., of Athens, had a magnificent lot of silver r and plated ware, which made the ladies’ months water, and their eyes sparkle.. But we-can’t undertake to mention a one-hundredth part of the things we saw. In the matter of accidents, there was plenty of them to fill several daily editions of a New York paper, ■-* ' , Two men were instantly killed, at toe Fair Ground on Thursday, by the falling of a large' pole which was being used in raising a balloon. These men were yonng, respectable, and the principal reliance of widowed mothers. They lost their lives by reason of toeir excessive cu riosity manifested by crowding upon the bal loonists. The sad aocident casta tetmgorary gloom over the vast crowd, and. toe performance was postponed till next day, when it came off in grand style. A young lady made a hand some ascension several hundred-feet and crossed toe river, making a journey of a mile , or more, without accident. Thursday night a gentleman was robhed of fifteen hundred dollars, and seveL.'«." ' • . ral respectable gentlemen, who were strangers, • # * had to give an acoount of themselves. Several, . , , *’| ral fights took place along from time to time, which served to give vivacity and. piquancy to, A the occasion. Though very, good order was • " • preserved npon toe grounds, drunks were "quitof . ^ * numerous, but mostly good humored. All kinds of shows and gambling trioks wera. running everywhere, including George Washing ton Johnson’s great moral crocodile and grizzly bear exhibition. Templeton’s company' was" . playing to fall houses, end Alice and Isabella * Vane were as irresistible as ever. But we can’t.- begin to tell what all was to he seen. We were charmed with toe hospitality of the Romans, and were treated with such kin Iness by them, that we shall always have a warm spot way-down • • in the bottom of- our heart toward! those good people of the up-country. They, not only know J: * below. _ The main entrance will bo forty-eight feet in ' b ow to manage a "Fair, but how to entertain a width, toe portico of which will be two stories friend. in height, consisting of massive columns with foliated capitals and bases, on octagon pedes tals. The first story will be appropriated to stores, the rents from which will materially aid toward defraying the expenses of the establish ment In the interior of toe building will be a courtyard ninety-four feet by one hundred and sixteen, and toe hollow square tons formed by the surrounding walls will be beautified by a fountain, gold fish, and in other ways. In the rear will be toe dining-room, thirty feet by ninety-two in dimension, and in addition, and near toe same size, wrill bo a hall for lectnres, concerts and other recreations. The sleeping rooms will be of two kinds, toe single, eight feet by nine, and those intended for two persons, This trip convinced ns more than ever of the great importance of this point as. toe future seat of a huge inland city. Nothing short of an earthquake can prevent Rome from Boon bes eeming a city of 50,000 ichalatants. Although there are many drawbacks and in conveniences about fairs, we have no doubt of toeir general utility; and hope hereafter to see- them annually all over toe State. .

The inscrip- completion. I tion npon it was engraved upon a solid tablet This building is on marble, of an enduring of brass, an inch in thickness, heavily plated A kind, which to the eye presents toe appearance of granite, while toe finishing inside is through out of beautiful Italian marble, the work upon which was executed in Italy. The style of arch itecture is pure Corinthian, and though only three stories in height, the structure towers above the surrounding houses, inasmuch as each story is twenty feet in height. Both within and without there is but little showy ornamenta tion, the style being chaste and severe, grand without being heavy, and elaborate without be ing fanciful. The walls will be finished in a subdued color, so as to harts onize with toe blue-veined marble, and the doors will be of rosewood. The whole building, with but little alteration, could be transformed into a magnificent art gallery, which, indeed, in course of time, may not improbably take place, toe wardrobe and bathrooms alone suggesting tbe idea of a private residence; and one of the most remarkable feature is the vista presented by one room-looking to another. Most worthy of note, also, is the principal staircase, the cost of which is almost fabulous; and beyond this, and leading from a spacious hall, is the picture gallery, which is to be adorned with the finest specimens of statuary and painting, a collection of which Mr. Stewart has been for some years making. By the end of the winter it is sup posed that the residenoe will be ready for occu pation by Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, who, from an elegant mansion across Fifth Avenue, survey the daily progress of the work. How to Glean Maihw.e.—It may be of some value to telegraph operators who have marble based instruments, and housekeepers who Lave marble top furniture, to know that the common solution of gum arabic is an exoeUaat absorbent, and will remove dirt, etc., from marble. . First —Brush the dust off toe piece to be cleaned, then apply with a : brash a good coat cf gum ar abic, about the consistency of thick offioe muci- lege, expose it to the sun or dry wind, or both. In a short time it will crack and peel off. If all the gum should not peel off, wash it with a clean doth. Of course if the first application docs not have the desired effect, it should be applied again. Second—Make a paste with soft soap and whiting. Wash the marble first with it, and then leave a cost of paste upon it for two or three days. Afterward wash off with warm (not hot) water and soap.—Scientific) American. The siege of Jacmel, Hayti, by Salnave’s foroes has been raised, and the troops were at last accounts marching against tbe revolutionary foroee under Brice, who had already captured Miragosne.

Tbe plate placed upon the stone that marks toe grave was sup posed to be of solid-silver, and tempted the cu pidity of certain vandals, who, with hammer and chisels, succeeded in prying it from too . slab. They wero never detected. Many years afterward, some good Samaritan caused too simple name of Charlotte Temple to be cut un derneath toe excavation. There it may be seen, within a few feet of Broedvay, by any one who will take the" trouble to" look through the iron railing. Tho last time we glanced at the alab, now almost imbedded in the ground, we saw several.sparrows taking a bath in too water which had collected in tbe excavation from which the villains removed the plate ; and other little feathered songsters were singing a, requiem over her grave—near, which we were- gratified to observe a forget-me-not, doubtless, planted there by some kind heart who, in child hood, had wept over the sad and romantic story of the blue-eyed gut—Appleton’s Joumed. -The A Huge Farm and How it m Worken,- Gancinnati Gazette baa the following: “What do yon say to a corn-field ia Benton Co., Indiana, of 7000 acres, in good; condition and growing splendidly ?
