Parker Pilbbary on Reconstruction.
MA0097, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12,18C9.
nttSkallReap ttaeBenefit?
Hie rapidity with which Georgia Lands -are
rising in price and the heavy margin, still left
for increasing valuation, suggests the inquiry,
who shall reap the benefits of the rise ? Shall
it inure to strangers or the children cf the
soil ? We beg our young men to note the signs
of the times. Three years ago you could hardly
give away these lands at a nominal value. Plant
ation property was not worth the improvements
upon it. Now, ^ery quietly all the sagacious
are buying, and the rise since that time has
b9en 300 per cent., or more. In three years
from this time the rise will have been as great.
There is no business in the world with a more
assured future before it than Southern agricnl
tore ! ’ Save your money, then, young men, and
buy lands, 'rum your attention to farming and
abandon the far leas manly and more perilous
aqd unprofitable avocations of the town. ’Don’t
wait till the operations of Northern and Western
speculators show you the value of Georgia soil,
before you buy your homestead and devote your
selves to building up your borne and fortunes
upon your own standing.
Governor Seed, of Florida.
•Isit lawful for the New York Tribune, and
such as he, to make themselves merry over the
follies and vices of tbo political adventurers—
the King Logs—they have installed in the gov-
emmenfc of their unhappy victims, the Southern
People?- If they are past blushing with 6liame.
does not decency at least require them to keep
silence? The Tribune of the -Gtlx makes itself
. merry ever 'the pranks of Gov. Harrison Reed,
of Florida, and particularly his official puffs
of relatives, of which the Tribune prints the
following 6nmplo:’

Tallahassee, Florida, Jnly, 1869.)
" • To At.t. Concerneb : I hereby commend my
brother, — —, to the confidence of all per
sons who.way intrust him with cotton, produce,

oughly honest and competent, and I will guar
antee faithful and prompt attention to all busi
ness intrusted to him,'and an honest account
for all proceeds to the last dollar.
• Hamuson Reed,
Governor of Florida.
• All this quay bo ridiculous enough; but has
the Tribune nothing to say about the affidavit
of that loyfil radical Major Sherman Conant, of
the United-States Army, wherein he swears to
. reading a letter from Swepson to Gov. Reed,'-by
which the latter was convicted of bargaining-to
sell his official approval of a. fraudulent railway
bill for the -sum of seven -thousand dollars >in
money.and a.release of his property from a
mortgage to -Swepson for five thousand dollars?
Can’t the NetfTork Tribune withdraw his at-
tention ono moment from the folly and vulgar-
- ity of this>so-called Gov. Hoed, to his shameless

Conuar Fairs.—The <3olumbus Enquirer
says the-experiment just-closed at Opelika, has
confirmed some of our ^business men ia the
opinion that it would be -to the interest of onr
. city to arrange for a County Fair to be held
here eaeb year in October or November. These
’ • fairs are being organized Jmmost of the South
ern States, and in many oonnties in our own
State. Itia believed-thtt largo crowds would
be attracted hither, and that the expense
ef the necessary enclosure and. buildings would
be met by the-ilrst or seoiud tfzir. Most pec-
- r sons agree that while the display of articles and
- y stock at .Opelika was not up to expectations, im-
• menso crowds <o£ people .were collected from all
. the surrounding, country, and that the money
, accumulated was not inconsiderable.
ERUPTION OF A VOLCANO.

those who had lost their lives by the eruption,
and also the carcasses of many animals killed in
the same way. At 11 o’clock on the morning of
the 4th the River Cauca was quite dry.
The Governor of the Department, fearing
that another and more serious rise in the river
might occur at other points, ordered the in
habitants of the different villages along the river
banks to move with their cattle to the higher
lands, where they would be safe. The news by
the next mail is looked forward to with much
anxiety.

* ■ Representation in -Congress.—The Census
Committee will meet in Washington on the 17th
inst. The important question of reducing the
ratio at representation in Congress, and there
by, while increasing the number of members of
the House, reducing the labor of correspondence,
.etc., now devolved upon them, will be considered
by the committee. It has many friends, and
promises to.be a subject of more than ordinary
Attention during the next session.
Work in the .government printing office is so
mnch in arrears that the annual reports and
documents, will not be ready at the meeting Of
Congress. Cause, the absence of managing
men attending to politics, and the effort to force
negroes into the working force.
The following is (he official vote of Ohio at
the la*© election: Hayes 285,072; Pendleton
228,882 j majority for Hayes 7040. Last year
fhe Radical majority was 17,883. The vote
this year was 21,000 less than last year.
It is a bad failure. ...
its head, if it have shy head, there is no sound
ness in it, none whatever. It began where it
should have left off, with political organizations,
with suffrage and sovereignty; when the first
lessons in civilization'had not been learned, had
not been taught, andhave not yet been taught.
But parky snpremeoy required the measure, and
it was edopted, against all the dictates of genu
ine statesmanship, as-well as the demands of
justice and humanity. And hence its failure, as
could not but have been expected.”
But reconstruction has not yet fairly begun
to disclose the depth of its own failure. Let no
man suppose that-the bitter insults and degra
dation it inflicted upon the vanquished and de
fenceless people of the South will be forgotten by
them or thei? children to the third and fourth
generations. We So not mean that the people
of the South will be violent or vindictive; but
it is certainly a plain deduction of reason,
experience ard-common sense that they most
feel an invincible -repugnance to politicians and
a party organization which has pursued them
in so illiberal, viiidictive and unconstitutional
a temper.
Radical reconstruction has forfeited to that
party all reasonable hope of valuable co-opera
tion and support in this quarter, and here is
where its failure will be manifest and signal.
It sought to make n negro party which shonld
dominate over the -whites, and so by force of
race snbversion bring these States to the sup
port of radicalism. The result,in8piteof all their
efforts to the contrary, will be the loss of all
the Southern States, and with that a loss of con
trol of the government.
And finally, we uo not doubt that the most
active reconstructionists—those who have- car
ried it so haughtily and uncompromisingly in
the Congressional Committees, will be thor
oughly ashamed of-their record and most anx
ious to blot itout. It is impossible that such a
carnival of intolerance, tyranny and lawlessness
shonld not figure as a disgraceful episode in
American polities. When the South has resumed
her position in the American Union, from which
she cannot be much-longer excluded,-it will
not long be a feeble and unimportant one.
Neither will it be long wielded by the hordes of
stupid and greedy adventurers who now bur
lesque Southern representations. She will be
represented by her own sons—by young men of
intelligence and capacity, and backed by
strong, energetic and .wealthy constituency-
worthy the alliance of any section or party. We
.seed not say that radicalism will have its peace
to make, if it can, with -the “new South”—not
a new South imported from New England—but
•a new South rising Fhconix-like from the ashes
of funeral pyres fired by the hand of radical
ism.

Monroe was represented ia the Eatonton fair
by Mr. T. D. Pennington, who had his horse
power on exhibition, and by Mr. Green Jordan,
who exhibited a fine thoroughbred Diomede
colt, just from Tennessee.
The dry weather is interfering somcwbnt -with
the preparations of oar farming friends for the
wheat crop. We hope that the “gentle rains”
may descend in ample time for the sowing of an
nnusnally large area.
We regret to learn that tho gin-house of John
Green, Esq., of this county, was burned one
sight last week. The loss is estimated at about
one thousand dollars. We cannot do better
then repeat tho warning given to planters in
these columns last week, in regard to the storing
of cotton. Tho plantation, under tho new order
of things, has come to be a very unsafe place,
and farmers who allow cotton to lie in their gin
houses do so at their own risk.

Georgia and Alabama ie over. It was a great
snccess, and onr mountain beauties were joy
ously fascinating.
A great variety of farming implements, ma
chinery, household and domestic economy of
every description and kind, fine stock, etc.,
were on exhibition. The ladies’ department
•was eminently successful. The department for
exhibition of farming implements was novel
and interesting. Brinley, Dodge, Collins, Bey-
.nolds, and many others were here with their
elegantly finished plows, and urging their claims
for superiority. They move from here to your
city. .Let the planters pay them special atten
tion. .Quite a number of fine stallions were on
exhibition. Captain Roper, of Bartow, was
awarded first premium. Captain Henry Styles’
first premium for fastest pacer. Ho.carries his
noble steed to Macon. Let others look sharp
for Styles is hard to beat.
But the most attractive article on exhibition
was a churn patented and exhibited by Captain
William L. Gordon, formerly of your city, and
brother to Gen. John B. Gordon. It is simple
and cheap. I saw a lady from the rural districts
nurse her babe, -examine fashions in Godey’s
Lady’s Book, and “make the butter come” in
-eight minutes. It has taken a premium wher
ever exhibited, and will be carried to Maoon.
Ia fact, everything and everybody goes from
here to your beautiful nity. Please urge upon
your good people the great importance of mak
ing extensive arrangements for the accommoda
tion of ladies and children. Let the hotels be
reserved mainly for ladies and children; and if
a room is let to a gentleman, let it be under
stood that it will have to be surrendered, if
needed, to a lady. Men can bunk in anywhere;
but many - ladies and children will be driven
away, if they fail to secure comfortable lodg
ing. Keep this before the people.
The tournament here was a success, and will
meet all brave Knights in open field at the

The Result in West Virgfnia-The
State Carried toy the Democrats;
From the Wheeling Hegitter. November 4.]
We are at last able to form a tolerably definite
idea of- the result of our State election last
Thursday. It exceeds our most sanguine hope.
While our neighboring States of Pennsylvania
and Ohio seem to have abated but little of their
determination to adhere to the fortunes of Rad
icalism. West Virginia, uninfluenced by their
example, has most emphatically called a halt.
After a calm and undemonstrative canvass, con
ducted almost' entirely - by tho press of the
State, upon the single issue of the partizan pro
scription; the voters of West Virginia, have
changed front with a dreadful suddenness, and
by a startling uprising have laid out the policy
of disfranchisement as cold as Sir Johb Frank
lin’s bones.
We havo tolerably fair returns from forty
counties in the State, which elect forty-six mem
bers to the ‘House. Of these the Democrats
have twenty.
The liberal Republicans, supported by the
Democrats on the platform of the prompt re
peal of all test oaths and disabling measures,
number ten.
Definite returns from the remaining thirteen
connties, all in the southwest, have not been re
ceived. A telegram received in this city yes
terday, however, stated that the entire south
western range of counties had been carried by
the Democrats. Making due allowance for tho
panicky condition of. our Republican friends,
whose consternation may have cansed this in
formation to be exaggerated, wo think the fol
lowing would bo a fair estimate of results in the
counties not definitely reported; Republican,
3; Democrats, 4. This will give the Democrats
twenty-four members of the House, the Repubi-
eans nineteen and tho Liberals thirteen. Wo
are well satisfied that the final figures will cause
this classification to vaTy very little, if any.
To tho Senate twelve members havo just been
elected, eleven to succeed those whose term has
expired, and one to fill a vacancy in the Tenth
District As between tho proscriptives on tho
one side, and the liberals and Democrats on the
other, the now members are evenly divided
upon the “let-up” policy. Two Democrats
and eight Republicans hold over, hut as it is
understood that several of the Republicans
holding over are avowedly in favor of repeating
our disfranchising laws, there is ample reason
for the Rope that the Senate will meet the House
half way upon the question of reform. The
unexpected -but emphatic expression of the
popular will just had throughout the State will
certainly havo its weight in th9 minds of all
faithful representatives, and hence we cherish
the belief that the next Legislature will do its
full duty in the way of thoroughly adapting onr
laws to the -freest ideas of a Republican govern
ment.

In our comments in Sunday’s issue, on Mr.

show that, by his own basis of an increase of
3,000,000 every seven years, the population
would not amount in 1959 to more than 78;000,-
000. But- while considering Mr. Dickson’s cal
culation of 507,000,000, astounding, we are sat
isfied that the aggregate of the sum, as worked
out by us, is much too small. We, however,
hold that the theory that the population of the

The Nea Lions.
Oalifomia Oorreepondence of Hartford Timer.]
On Saturday last we visited the Cliff House,
situated beyond-the bay on the Pacific Ocean.
The great attraction there is the sea lions,
which inhabit a cluster of rocks 500 feet from
the shore. The hotel is built on a rock founda
tion which is washed by the waves of the ocean,
and a broad verandah is attached, from which
we get a good view of the lions. More than a
hundred of them were lying upon the rocks on
Satnrday, and sohools of them were playing
abont in the water. When they come out of
the water with their fin-like feet upon tho rocks
(one of which rocks is 80 feet in height, and
they go to the very top of it,) they lie in the
sun till they are thoroughly dry; then they set
np a loud barking like mastiffs and finally wad
dle down, and pluDge, head first into the water.
They resemble seals, though their heads
are heavier, and they are bodily much laTger.
They weigh from 2,000 to 3,000 pounds, and
one old fellow, tho king of the colony, who has
lost one eye, weighs, it is said, at least 3,500
ponnds. Wo saw him on tho top of the high
rock, and drew him np close with glasses. Ho
was a monstrous piece of blubber,.and roared
like a bnll-dog. He swims over to another col
ony of the sea lions, thirty miles distant, and
spends two or three weeks among them abont
twice a year. His name is “General Butler.”
These animals are protected by tho State laws,
and are not allowed to bo killed. We conld dis
tinctly see a few seals among them, and some
little young sea lions. The old ones fight fear
fully sometimes, and tear each other’s flesh in a
shocking manner. They have four tusks each
as large os those of an Asiatic lion.
surrounded with swamps, hud yet the bilious
diseases in the city were of a milder, type than
in any other city in America. Ho attributed
this satisfactory sanitary condition to the fact
that a large proportion of these swamps were
covered with water during the sammer.
He recommended the construction of a canal
south of the city of sufficient capacity in width
and depth to pass all the .water in the swamps
into the Vernon river. He also insisted that the
capacity and fall of the sewers in the city should
bo increased.
Mr. A. Schwaab then read a paper in which he
reviewed tho history of sinks and water closets
in the great cities of Europe and America, and
condemned the system which seems to have been
adopted in Savannah, by which the water of the
wells, as well as the atmosphere, are poisoned.
Mr. Phillips also read a paper, in which he
dismissed the impurities of the well water in Sa
vannah, and attributed it to the system of sinks
and water closets which prevails in the city. He
stated that woll water was either supplied by
subterranean springs or by infiltration from the
surface, and that there are now in the cesspools
which have existed for more then one hundred
years, the contents of which percolate through
the porous soil of which the bluff on which the
city stands is composed, and poison the water in
our wells. He said that he had proved by chem-

London, November 10.—Gladstone, at the Lord
Mayor’s festival, spoke discouragingly regardinglre-
land claiming peace with all tbo world. Gladstone
said: “One partial exception I ought to make, and
it is an exception which is of the deepest interest to
Englishmen, viz: Our relations with America; but
there ia no occasion in which I could moro appro
priately refer to these relations, or better describe
them than of thoso of peace and concord. Were I
to attempt to depart from that friendly strain I
should bo admonished to judgo moro correctly, and
speak moro wisely, by an event which has happened
within’ thiB city during tho last few days. I refer to
the doathof George Peabody, a man whose splendid
beneficence will secure immortality for his name in
that which he regarded as his old mother country,
but whoso fame likowiBO, and in a broader sense, is
applicable to all humanity. He has taught us tho
most neodfnl of all lessons—how a man can be made
master of his fortune and not its slave; and it is
most touching to know what I have learned from
his friends, that while some men would have been
unhappy at the idea of dying in a foreign land, his
affections were so divided between the land of his
birth and the land of his ancestors, that that which
had been the fondest of his wishes may now bo re
alized, to be buried in America but to die in England;
but with Mr. Peabody’s country we are not likely to
quarrel.
“It is true that care ana, skill in diplomacy,
animated though it has been by the purest and most
upright feelings, although it has not imperilled our
peace it has failed to load to the first issue, up to
the present moment, upon the tangled questions of
law which have been in discussion between the two
countries. Considerable delay has taken place, yet
every delay,instead of leading to danger, was prompt
ed by considerate good will and a desire to allow the
intervention of a limited time in order to obviate
the difficulties. [Cheers.] I believe the world
would view with horror a parricidal, strife between
England and America; hut such a state of things is
not likely to arise from onr own present relations,
and my confidence is In tbo sentiments whioh I know
animate the American Government, as is well
known, and which animate the minds of tbe people
of the best two countries.” [Cheers.]

The analysis proved that in every instance
most of the substance consistedof water or sand
or corbonate or sulphate of lime, or some other
material of little, value. These materials were
mixed with phosphates and nitrogenous matters
in very different proportions; but the really
valuable component parts aro bat a small pro
portion of the whole. Prof. Johnson reported
there was good reason to suppose that some of
the articles sold as fertilizers, and for which
high prices were paid, were the products of de
liberate fraud; their value to the farmer being
in strange contrast with the price at which they
are offered and advertised.
The sample which proved the best of all is
sold for $50 per ton. and contains actual fer
tilizing ingredients whiohit would cost the farm
er $47 32 in gold, or more than $GO in currency,
to buy separately in any common form. Next
to this comes one, the usefnl parte of a ton of
which are reckoned to be worth $32 09 in gold,
and which is sold at $G5 in currency. On the
other hand, a popular, article, sold at $28 per
ton, is estimated to bo really worth as a fertil
izer not more than $2 33 per ton in gold, orbut
one-ninth of its price; and many other favorite
articles of this class seem to deserve their repu
tation but little better, if the samples obtained
by Mr. Gold and tested by Professor Johnson
were fair specimens.
It is not to be supposed that swindling in fer
tilizers is confiued to New England. Indeed,
wo question whether this business of swindling
is carried on to a greater extent in any other
State in the Union, than in the State of New
York.
The above statements point more strongly
than ever to the necessity which wo have so
long and so persistently nrged, of some action
on the part of onr State authorities, for the pro
tection of farmers in the purchase of fertilizers.
We trust tUat the next Legislature will take ac
tion upon tbe subject, and make the penalties
for this kind of rascality sufficient to check, if
not prevent it.— Utica Herald.
pate a like increase for the first decade in the
next 90 years, which would give the enormous
number of inhabitants in 1880 of 78,000,000.
Let ns take the statistics of Georgia. Her
population since the formation of the Govern
ment has been as follows :
Total.
82,548
162,101
252,433
340,983
510,823
091,392
906,185
1,057,286
It will be seen from these figures that the per
centage of increase the first ten years was 96^;
for the next ten years abont 56: the third de
cade, 35; the fourth, 51i; the fifth, abont 34 ^
the sixth, 31 ; and the seventh decade, only
about lCj per cent. Taking the last decade of
ten years, srom 1850 to 1860, as a fair basis to
predicate the futnre on, and granting that the
negroes will not increase as, heretofore, we
think it will be safe to say that, without 'a very
large number of immigrants, the population of
our State will increase, in the next ninety yeans,
at the rate of fifteen per cent, every decade,
which would give the following results:
1S70 (supposed) 1,200.000
1880 ......: 1,3X0,000
1890 '.....1,587,000
1900.. ...;..;...... ....1,824,000
1910 2.100,000
1920 2,415.000
1930 t... .....2,785,000
1940.;.. -....3,205,000
1960.. ...... .......3,700,000
. This would be about three times present num
ber, and if the same per centage is applicable to
the whole country, would give an aggregate of
inhabitants, in I960, of about 120,000,000. But,
from the large immigration flowing into the
country,, ouside of Georgia, wo should deem
twenty-five per cent., every decade, a nearer es
timate for the whole country, and' that would
give about 200.000,000 in I960. Even this nnm r
her is small, when the area of territory is con
sidered, as compared with other countries.
We entirely agree with Mr. Dickson’s views
as to dense populations centralizing govern
ments, and folly believe that virtue and religion
tiro cherished to a greater degree in moderately
settled than in more populous countries; and if
all the States cf the Union were moving pari
passu in the matter, it would be wisdom for ns
to check rather than enconrage immigration.—
Bqt as the Government has become centralized
by the immigration which flooded the sections
that were hostile to ns, and has. been changed
mainly by their aid from one of free consent to
one of force; and as each Slate and section is
striving for empire, we desire to see our State
speedily increase in popnlation and grow in
strength, that she may be a power in the coun
cils of the Government As to the evils such a
course may inflict in the far-off future, we can
only say that we have every faith that the men
of the future, with the aid of Providence, will
be able to meet them.

Southerners iu New York.
A correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune
writes from the Southern Club in New York,
(No. 2 Clinton Place>as follows-; '
I think it quite probable that the readers of
the Picayune are unaware of the existence of
this club, which I visited for the first time to
night. The club appeared to be composed of
the young, active business men of the city, who
had recently emigrated f rom the Southern States,
and I must confess that I was surprised to find
in the register none of the names of those gen
tlemen residing hero who had borne a conspicu
ous part in the “late unpleasantness” between
the North and South, especially as the members
had resolved to enregister to enable them to ex
ercise tho privilege of tho elective franchise.
The club is a social one, organized for the inter
change of amenities of those having natural
affinities from similarity of sentiment and gen
eral sympathy. The contrast between the im
migrants to the South from the North, and from
the South to the North, was the subject of gem
eral remark. Those from the North to the South
entering immediately the political arena on their
arrival, and' assuming to themselves the monop
oly of the government, while those from the
South to the North have sedulously abstained
from either local or general politics.
■' In the city of New York there are said to bo
sixteen thousand Southern boro residents, of
which number less than one hundred have qual
ified themselves for exercising the elective fran
chise. The subject coming up casually in the
club, it was ascertained that only two of the
members had evinced sufficient interest in the
affairs of the country to have themselves regis
tered, whereupon it was agreed that they all
register, if for no other purpose than to exhibit
a willingness to comply with the law governing
the oommunity where they reside. It occurred
to me that these gentlemen might make their
club of vastly more importance than they are
likely to exercise by acting as a central point
for the collection and diffusion of general in
formation. True, every mercantile house' of
any consequence in this city employs a com
mercial agent in each of the Southern States,
but those residing in. the Southern States are
not equally fortunate in the means of obtaining
reliable information from the great metropolis.
This, they might accomplish by correspondence
with members of the club from their respective
States.. I regarded the Society, in a commer
cial point of view, as of considerable impor
tance, and was astonished to learn that it was
the first organization of the kind systematically
arranged this side of the Potomac.”
A ROMANTIC NARRATIVE.
A Chapter in the Life or a Red River Trader.
The following story is told by a Minnesota
paper:
“Among the most prominent merchants in
Rio Janeiro, Brazil, some fifteen' years ago,
was a young Englishman, who was possessed
not only of a fine form and handsome features,
but also of a snug fortune, the result of his own
industry and business ability. His business re
quired that he shonld make occasional visits to
England, and he had crossed the Atlantic many
times. During ono of these visits, he met his
fate in the shape of a beautiful orphan girl,
who accompanied him on his voyage back to
Rio Janeiro as his wife. For a number of years
they led a happy married life, , and two children
were boro unto them. The husband prospered
in business' and continued to make occasional
visits to England, leaving his family at Rio Ja
neiro. It was after his return from one of these
visits that he heard for the first time whispers,
against his wife. She indignantly denied the
charges made against her, and dared him to
produce proof of bis assertions. This he could
not do, but a coolness arose between them
which became insupportable, and a separation
was agreed upon. They were divorced accord
ing to the law3 of Brazil, the husband settling
upon her- a handsome annuity, which should
continue during her life, or until she should
marry again, when it should cease, she retain
ing the custody of the children. , „
'“Unable to remain at Ri 0 Janeiro, the hus
band wound up his business, converted his
property into money, and became a wanderer
upon the earth. He finally accompanied a party
to Fort Garry, Minnesota, whfere the isolation
from the world suited him, and he concluded to
remain. Again he embarked in business, and
became known to many of the principal citizens
and business men of St. Paul, not one of whom
ever suspected the hidden sorrow which impels
him to bury hiuiself amid the savage surround
ings of the far Northwest.
“The wife, in course of time loved again, and
notwithstanding she lost her handsome annuity,
she married a gentleman of scholarly attain
ments and bnt little means. With him she lived
happily for two years, whenhe died, leaving her
and her two children in destitute circumstances.
During all this time she heard occasionally from
her former husband through his letters to- his
friends at Rio Janeiro, and from them she
learned that he still cherished for hor a love
that would continue until dcathf The death of
her second husband left her almost penni
less. And being convinced of the unalterable
love of her first husband she resolved, for the
sake of her children, to seek out her divorced
husband, and with them throw herself at
his feet and implore him to take them back. In
pursuance of this determination she commenced
her long and tedious journey from Brazil to
British America. She arrived in St. Paul a few
days ago, accompanied by her' children. It was
daring her short stay here that we obtained the
above particulars from her. She remained only
two days in St. Paul to rest, and then proceeded
on her journey to Fort Garry.
“The lady is still in the prime of life, and re
tains all the beauty which first won the heart of
her former husband. We suppress the names
of the parties out of regard to their feelings, as
should we give the gentleman’s name, many of
our citizens would recognize it as that of oue of
the leading traders of the Red River settle
ment.” ,
Saved by Presence of Mind.—The New York
Evening Mail says:
“Miss Emma Ames, one of the Fifth avenue
dramatic company, who was burned » few eve
nings since by her dress taking fire on the stage,
is in a fair way of recovery. Her great presence
of mind saved her life. When she found herself
enveloped in a sheet of fire, instead of scream
ing, as most people would, she instantly put her
hand over her month, to prevent the inhalation
of the flames. Her first thought was to ran be
hind the scene and down stairs. The carpenter

Residence or Prof. Bates Burned.
We are sorry to see from the following in the
Milledgeville Federal Union, that our friend,
Prof. Bates, of the Oglethorpe University, has
met with misfortune:
Fire in Midway.—We regret to learn that the
residence of Prof. Bates, in Midway, out-houses,
etc., was entirely oonsumed by fire on Sunday
last. The fire broke out on the roof of the
building, and so high was the wind and so very
dry the roof of the house, that the flames could
not be arrested. Most of the household furni
ture was saved. - • .
The violence of the wind prevailing at the
time greatly imperilled other houses in the vi
cinity. At'one time, one of the out-buildings
on Col. MoAdoo’s premises was actually on fire
from a spark borne through the air fully 200
yards; bnt the promptitude of that gentleman in
ascending to the roof enabled him to extinguish
it speedily with his own hands.
The dwelling which was consumed was a part
of the property of Oglethorpe College.

From the 1 Mltfedffevilfo Recorder.]
We attended last week tbe ConntvAer'r
tural Fair of Pntnam county. We were mti&j I
and pleased with what we saw, though the & I
play in the cattle line was smaller than,,,. I
pected. There were a number of fine horswjjj I
mules. - In the agricultural department ve va I
somewhat disappointed, as the show wag not „ I
large as wo thought it should be. I
The ladies' department did credit to the lafie, I
inevery respect We cannot particularize; th e j, I
handy work in quilts, knitting, lace work and hi
domestic economy; such as pickles, preserva I
etc., were really fine. I
We saw some very handsome goods from tin |
Rock Island Mills, N. C. Also, some of the!
cotton blankets made by the Eagle and Flash |
Manufacturing Company, Columbus, besides I
other goods. All very good. I
We have no doubt but that the Putnam Co®, |

and be the means of exciting a lively interests I
agricultural matters. It is a good practiai|
idea, and our Putnam county friends deserel
much credit for what they have inengnntei I
We feel that it is a success, and will grow j I
strength and interest at each succeeding eihili I
