From the Telegraph and Messenger of Saturday.
Georgia Agiicuiliit'al Fair,
SATURDAY —FIFTH DAY,
Opened with a sky alternately bright and
ch.udy, panied with a still breeze,
which, partially drying up the oceans of
mud, rendered the roads comparatively
passable. Though the unfavorable weuth*
er of the day previous had lessened the at
tendance materially, yet a large crowd was
present during the day.
THE ORDER OF THE DAY.
After a light exhibition of coifs in the
amphitheatre followed the tilt for the Tour
nament prizes. In spile of rfhe wind, which
had now grown colder, a large audience
assembled to witness the contest.
The judges were : Gen. Wade Hampton,
Gen. Bonham, of South Carolina; General
Colquitt,*of Georgia; Gen. Fierce Young,
of Georgia.
Colonel B. G. Lockett, of Georgia, after
some delay attendant upon deciding wlieth
or the seven knights who had already rid*
den one tilt should re-ride, it was determin*
ed that the riding of the day previous should
not count.
Previous to the tilt there was a short off.,
hand but spirited btjoatNsword exercise
between the “Knight of the Lost Cause.’
Mr. Dußigiion, of Milled,goville, this State,
and a gentlemen in citizen’s dress, whose
niimo we failed to learn. Some very pretty
cuts and thrusts with fine barriers and
counters were given and taken by both.
The tilt being callorl, the riding com
menced with the knight “Blade Prince,”
Mr, Jesse Walters, Albany, Ga., who care
tied off the nine rings in his three tilts,
winning the first prize. Next in order
came knights of tho “Red Rose,” Mr. Clay,
Bibb county, “Leopold of. Austria,” Mr.
McKenule, of Albany, Ga., and “Richard
Ceur do Lion,” Mr. P. S. Ravish Albany,
(la , each of whom captured seven rings.
This tie was then ridden off, resulting in
fa vor of the knight of the “Red Rose.” who
was declared winner of the second prize.
A tie subsequently occurring between the
knight of “Columbus’ 7 and “John, Duke of
Norfolk,” the judges called for the test tilt,
but the former knight, in consequence of
severe injuries sustained by a kick from his
horse, failed to appear, having withdrawn
from the arena, thereupon the judges de«
dared his opponent the winner.
At the conclusion of the tilting, the
“Knight of Columbus,” though severely in-
j ured, enteied the arena, reporting himself
to the judges, who ordered him to the tilt,
which he made in full time, and the judges
awarded’that he should crown a Maid of
Honor.
The riding having ceased, the knights
were ordered to mount and to the front,
when the decision of the judges was ans
non need, and in behalf of the officers in
charge, Colonel H. D. Capers awarded the
prizes to the successful knights as follows.
To the “Black Prince,” the first prize,
consisted of a fine black Canadian horse,
value J at SSOO. To “Knight of the Red
Rose,’' the second prize of a gray gelding,
saddle, bridle and spurs, valued at S3OO.
To "Leopold of Austria,” the third prize of
a heavily silver counted riding whip. To
“Richard ceur de L : on.” the fourth prize
of a beautiful pair of spurs.
At this stage of the proceedings, Mr.
Jones, Chairman of the Tournament Com
mittee, being introduced by Col. Capers,
stated that., as flic representative officer of
the Agricultural Society, he held in I:is hand
two silver goblets to the first and second
prize riders in the Tournament, and lie was
now ready to confer the same, whereupon
Colonel Capers called ihe knights “Black
Prince” and “Red Rose” to the front, when
Mr. Jones formeily made the presentation.
The Tournament Bull will come off at a
suitable hall yet t«> be selected, on Monday
night, where the “Queen of Love and Beau
ty,’ 7 with her “Maids of Honor,” will be
crowned. This, of course, will interest the
ladies.
In disposing of the Tournament, wo
would call attention to a card, published
elsewhere in this issue, relatives ihe ruling
of the judges and Major Camfield’s gener
ous waiving of his indisputable right, to
count his first tilt, the evening previous
when he secured every ring—six in number
We have omitted mentioning the particulars
in refmetice to the exceptions .taken by
several brother Knights and tho # manly
concessions of the Major, because we are
not thoroughly conversant with the details
of both sides of the question.
HIDING AT 171 E RINK.
Immediately succeeding the Tournament,
ike U-iuk opened with music from Mr.
IhuTY colored band, which had been m at* j
te ndance during the previous days The
exercises commenced with riding by the
several experts —Messrs. Giuobs, Isaacs,
Dasher, Knight, Smith, Adams, Hall, and
others. Miss Lottie Mosely also entertain?
ed the audience with a fine display of plain
and fancy riding.
When the time for the second race be
tween Messrs. Boyle and Grubbs was call*
ed, they got away evenly upon the first
score, making only two rounds, Mr. Boyle
being second, with a severe rush of blood
to the head4|
The exercise closed with a quarter mile
dash against time, in wliictt several veloci*
pedists contended.

Messenger Sc Telegraph in reference to

field. who rode as Fergus Mclvor, in the
grand tournament yesterday at the State
Fair, and h’s numerous friends and admir
ers, I would state that notwithstanding the
judges unanimously decided that *he first
day’s tilt, in which he took six rings the
first ride, was valid and binding, he mags
nanimonsly yielded to the wishes of Ins
comrade knights and allowed the riding to
commence fie wo ro ; that on his first ride
yesterday—the second day—he look four
rings, which added to the six taken on the
ride the day previous gave him ten—one
more than was taken by the knight to
whom the first prize was awarded, and that
in accordance with the first decision of the
judges, which he forfeited by his own gal
lantry, be was the winner of the first prize.

GEN. WADE HAitl ETON’S AD
DRESS.
\Ye have left out in this weeks issue, a
considerable amount of editorial matter
and news items, in order to give our read*
ers a few extracts from the eloquent ora*
tion delivered by Gen. Wade Hampton at
the State Fair. We would like to publish
the address in full, but our space will not
permit. The General spoke thus of the
South :
In order to estimate properly the resour
ces and power of the South, we must con
sider what was her condition when the war
ended, and what she has accomplished in
the brief petiod that has since elapsed
What, then, was her condition when peace
was proclaimed? Her cities were in ashes;
smouldering ruins of once happy and pros
perous homesteads marked the broad tract
over which the crimson tide of war had
swept ! Her fields once smiling in beauty
and rich with boundless wealth, were de
vastated ; the labor.which had subdued the
forest, and given this wide and fertile do
main to civilization, was rudely destroyed,
her railroads, with all other internal im
provements, were broken up; her temples
of learning, and even her altars to the
livjng God, had been east down; her sur
viving child !'<••• I despoiled, while
throughout all her coast she bewailed her
countless and noble dead, who slept be-
neath the soil they had fought so heroical
ly, though so vainh , to defend.
Such without exaggeration was nnr con
dition, and it was ore that might wel have
appalled the stoutest heart, but thanks to
be to God, our people are of sterner stuff
than to yield themselves a prey to unman.*
ly despair. Girding up. their loins, and
gathering around ttiem their shattered
household gem Is, they set themselvi s to ‘put
their house in order, not to die, but to live.’
Difficulties vanished before iheir fixed pur
pose to overcome them. In spite of inimi
cal legislation, in spile of unjust taxation,
in spite of that horde of political adventu
rers who flocked here to drain the life blood
of our people, like the vultures of old which
gathered around the hound and prostrate
giant, tearing with bloody beaks his still
living heart; in spite of the seasons them*
selves, which seemed to wav against, them,
they have passed in safety through the
narrow straits of poverty, and not far dis
tant they behold the golden waves of an
ocean of prosperity.
The dawn of a brighter day for the
South begins to dispel the gloom in which
she was left by the war, and to her agri*
culturlists move than to any other class is
she indebted for this suspicions change :
for after all, tlie true and permenent wealth
of a people springs from the product of the
soil. We cannot it is true, grow “greens
backs,” nor do we of the South comp re.-
head the secret of that wonderous Alches
my which transforms, precious medals
which among nations behind us, perhaps,
in political economy, are alone regarded
as money; but we, and we alone, grow in
perfection those great staples wiiich the
world demands as necessaries or luxuries.
Cotton may perhaps, be no longer King,
for in these days when mobocracy has de>-
throned law and Constitutions, he, too,
may have shared the same fate, but he
bids fair to remount his throne long be-,
fore his fellow sufferers are reinstated on
theirs. Already he grasps his sceptre with
no unsteady hand, and we may hope to see
him, ere long, resume the imperial and
royal diadem.
Our duty to our country demands that
we should devote all our energies, om
hands, onr hearts our souls, to the restora
tion of prosperity; to the re-establishment
of order;of smiling peace and tranquil hap
piness, throughout all the limits of our be>
loved South. Let us lift her up from the
dust, and show that she still has loyal and
devoted sons. Let us climb with revers
ence—a reverence made dreper and holier
by her misfortune—to his (fwn native fund
let no promise of wealth or advancement
tempt us to forsake her. When the barbar
ism hordejdcstroyed Rome, and left her sons
in dispair and sorrow was about to forsake
the eternal City,.we :jre told that the im-
pending doom was averted by a happy
omen. A Ccnturian passing with his com
pany to relieve guard where the sad con
course was deliberating on the proposed
removal, gave the usual word of command:
“Ensign, plant your colors; we will remain
here.” The Senator rushing from tiie temple
exclaimed: “The gods have spoki n «•<»
obey.” The'popular to ;k up' ihe cry and
rent ihe skies v; - ‘R rue, fare
well” Let •. as we
stand amid on '* or eH'ors on
ihe g’ Ti ves of i . . - invoking res
verently tin* pi ' e: r God, shout
with more than Rom n ;ui: rndism, with one
voice : “The South ! now the South for
ever.
Mr. President and gentlemen of the com
mittee the agreeable task ®»signed to me
by your kindness is done, and perhaps I
should here pause; but may I crave your
indulgence and that of the audience for a
few words more? Standing here as I have
done for the last hour, and looking over
this vast throng, I have seen many faces
which have met me in other scenes than
this, and my ear. if I mistake riot, has
caught the tones of voices heard often be
fore amid the fire aud rising high
above the din of battle.
Those signs ami lhe*o oou.M* havo K.tn
„.,i my heart t<> Us depths, and I vvou.J not,
I caimot go hence, without extending to
my dear old comrades-in.-arms one word or
cordial and heartfelt, greeting. Men ot my
old command, brave soldiers, true fnenus,
yon know that I have not forgotten you;
looking into your own hearts, you feel that
I can never do this. The ties that bind me
to are graven on my heart with a pc n <
fire. Looking on you again, after J eat so
absence, memory carries me back *° t lose
years of heroic strife, when it was m\
pride to lead you. I read with tie P l0 ~
roundest emotions your -deep sufferings
your constant privations, your daunt ess
courage, your devoted service, your cheers
less biouvacs amid the snows of V liginia,
your trusty pick'd posts on the I otoni.ic
and Rappahannock, your solitary yvatc)
fires which have blazed on cverv bill am.
valley in Virginia, your heavy matches,
your battle-fields, ‘which stretched from
Gettysburg to the Savannah, all crowd on
my memory as I stand among you once
more.
I recall to that scene in the dark woods of
North Carolina —who of you lias forgetten
it? —where as the earliest rays es the last
sun that shone on the Southern Confedera
cy lighted up the forest, the old T irst Bri
gade J —first, always iu the fight—first in all
noble actions and honorable enterprises
first everywhere, save in retreat —were
marshalled before me for the last time.
The banners which they' had borne so often
to victory were furled—the sabres which
were wont always to gleam in the front of
battle, hung lightly in their scabbard, and
instead of the glad shouts which used to
welcome approach of battle, in deep si*
lence, with ’dejected countenances and
drooping figures the men clustered around
me to say and hear the saddest of words,
‘Farewell !’ while on many a cheek bronz
ed by the smoke of more than a hundred
battle fields, the silent tear told, more
eloquently than words could do, how deep
was the affeect.ion that bound ns together
These recollections come thick and fast
as I greet again my gallant old soldiers of
Georgia, and I would be false to you and
false to every instinct of my nature, were
I not to near, before this audience of y our
kindred, where the virtue, the intellect, '.he
patriotism, the manhood, and the beauty of
Georgia’s noble State are so largely repre
sented, willing and heartfelt testimony to
those high soldier qualities which made
your career in our noble army of heroes
second to none.
You will pardon, Mr. President, I trust
this digression from my legitimate theme
when yedttbnsider how strong are the ties
with whf'CTmoen who have for years shared
together common dangers, common sorrows,
and common glories are bound to each
other, and even those who were once our
foes can sympathize, I am sure, with the
feelings which prompt an old commander
to yield a just tribute of praise to the brave
men who once followed him. r l o you, my
