The Fair of the Bartow Agricultural Association opens at Centreville on the 4th of October. — Qjlumbu* Enquirer. No such a town as “Centreville” in Cherokee Georgia, Brother Martin, that we knew of —and we are certain that there is no such an one in Bartow comity—you mean “Cartersvilie.” The Republican Executive Commit tee have passed a resolution to call a convention in each Congressional Dis trict on the nth of October, to elect members of the Central Committee, to meet in Atlanta on the 18th of Octo ber. Harris introduced an election bill (approved by Akerman) bringing on ♦lie election for members of Congress and the Legislature December *2oth, to continue for three days. The practi cal operation of the bill is to detail members of the Legislature. A bill to lease the State Road to Joe Brown, George W. Adams and others, was referred to a special committee. It is rumored that Senator Candler will l>e elected Chairman of the Demo cratic Executive Committee, on the 27th iust. It is thought that Gen. Gartrell will be an independent Radical candidate for Congress for this district. Col. James Atkins, Revenue Collector, will be the regular nominee. The Baris correspondent of the Bal timore Gazelle commences his letter of the 3rd inst. as follow: “France is only about commencing the war—settling. down to the work. On the 6th of Au gust she had but an army of 350,000 men; now ther are 800,050 under arms j and the cry is still they come in divi sions of thousands, from all parts of the Empire. Mr. Speer’s bill to prevent parties, I without regard to race, color, or pre vious condition, with minor children, | from contracting marriage the second j .time referred to a special committee j of one, v consisting of Mr. Speer, and j made the special order for December i 25th. _ j Population of Cities In Alabama.

A minister at Alliance, Ohio, is go ing to bring suit against a man for over 146,000, for marrying him. Four teen years ngo he married the man, who wanted to pay in potatoes, to morrow. He said he would gi'e six bushels of potatoes down, and double the number of bushels every year, un til the minister was paid. As it has been fourteen years, and nary potato come yet, it amounts to 98,298 bushels, and at fifty cents a bushel, to #16,149. Expensive wife, that. A Wisconsin Dutchman— evidently a sensible man—beiug asked what re ligious denomination be thought the nearest right, said: “Yen ve goes to Milwaukee mit our wheat, some goes one road and some anoder; but veu re gets dere, nopody asks us rich vay ve , come, but only looks to see if our u lteat | it tjoot!" That’s it; see that your ♦'wheat” is good; that is ihe essential , thing, A t the same time, when you j are “going to Milwaukee,” w e would ! advise you also to take the “road” j which, all things considered, you deem the best, . At Athens, Clarke countv, tea is sue cessfully cultivated. It can be done in any part of Middle Georgia.

Florence, September 21. —The city of Rome is occupied by the Italian troops. There was no bloodshed, which is altogether attributed to the tenderness of the Pope, who forbade any resist ance. The Romans received the Italians with great enthusiasm. General Robert Anderson, of Fort Sumter celebrity, is dead. The French Republic has been re cognized by Italy and Spain. The wheat crop of Oregou is said to be larger than ever before. Latest estimates give Paris 1,900,000 j inhabitants. Napoleon went to Se-Dan, but un fortunately he saw William. There was quite a heavy frost at Lancaster, Pa., on Monday morning. The population of Athens, Ga., ac cording to tlio returns of the census taker, is 4,251. The Democracy of Tennesse, held a convention in Nashville, on Tuesday, j and nominated by acclamation, Gene | ral John C. Brown, for Governor. Omaha promises to be as famous for beef packing as Cincinnati is for pork packing. One firm in Omaha purposes 1 to pack 20,000 head of cattle this sea ; son. Madrid, September 17.*—All but the ultra Catholics press are delighted with | the end of the Pope’s temporal power. Garibaldi.— lt is said that Garibaldi I will soon rssume the command of an I'.alia n legion at Lyons, to fight the Germans. The Prussians thus far estimate their killed at 31,60«, and their wounded at 119,500. The infalibility of the Pope has i proved anything but infalible in the ; imergencies which have surrounded him recently. He is forced to abandon 1 Rome. There is a report that the Pope is to retain possession of the part of Roms on the right or north bank of the Tiber. It contains the cathedral of St. Peter, the Vatican, and the cas tle of St. Angelo. The Bavarian Bishops have been for bidden, by a rescript from the Minis ter of Public Worship, to promulgate in any way the dogma of Papal infali bility. King William started out to war against Napoleon and not the French people. He now wars against the French people and seeks to reinstate Napoleon. The Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad Cos. have just completed a bridge across the Savannah River, at Augusta, costing upward of one mil lion dollars. New York, Sept. 17.—The Times’ special from London says that Minister Washburne advises Americans remain ing in Paris during tbe scige to remain iu their houses, but be sure to keep tbe American flag flying from the roofs or windows. Americans accordingly take the siege coolly. The world has had its iron age, its golden age, and its age of bronze.— Radicalism has made the psesent .an age of steal. i ‘I am afraid you will comedo ..want, said an old lady to a young , man. T have come to that already,’ was the reply,; ‘I want your daughter.’ The I old lady opened her eyes. Bache ohm Not Entitled to a Home stead. —Last year Col. Joe Calhoun, of this county, applied for a homestead, which was resisted before the Ordinary by one of his creditors. The facts de veloped on the trial were, that Col. Cal houn was a bachelor, had no white rel ative or person living with him, had eight servants on the premises. The Ordinary held that these facts did not make Col. Calhoun the head of a fami ly in the sense of the law and Consti tution. Calhoun appealed from this decision, and one day last week the case came before Judge Bigby, who af firmed the decision of the Ordinary.— We understand that the case will go to the Supreme Court. —Aiemian Her ald. Potato Pudding.— One pint and a half of grated sweet potato, one tea cup of brown sugar, one of syrup, a large heaping spoonful of butter, one teaspoonful of salt, one of powdered 1 sweet orange peel, and nearly a pint of i milk, poured in boiling hqt. i Bake slowly in a moderate oven. ; Skmi-Weekly C.vytersville Express is now the cheapest country paper published jq t,{*e Btato—twice a week at TWO DOLLARS A YEAR, UNEQUIVOCALLY IN ADVANC .

Lawshe and Haynes are now opening at their store on Whitehall street Certainly this mar ket can justify no heavier stcek than this. To lock at it one would almost imagine that the fabled treasures of the east had disgorged themselves to crowd the shelves and splendid show cases in this establishment. The stock includes more fine jewelry than we ev er saw before. Mr. Lawshe lies but recently returned from New York, where lie selected his stock in person. He selected the very latest stales, some of which are real novelties. There are coral sets in their sl.ow-c.ne-. which skill can hardly surpass, while among their precious stones are some of rare beauty and worth, such as are seen only once in a great while. Their stock v f watches is immense, embrac ing every kind up to the celebrated Jules Jorgensen. Os clocks they have an infinite variety, at prices which any man can afford, and si Iso sit prices which only the wealthiest eau afford. They have a few of the very last, in voice of French clocks, which were shipped to this country when the war broke out. Bui it is useless to endeav or to enumerate their goods. It would require a column, and then the story would be but half told. Mr Lawshe is a gentleman whose face is more familiar, and who is bet ter known, than any landmark in the city. He was there many years be fore the war, and did a leading busi ness. He was among the first to re turn after the war, and lms been among the sturdiest in building up the city and its trade. We are glad to see his business prospering, for if industry arc worth anything, he de serves all they are worth.
