The Constitutional Convention. This august body meets to-day, and the eyes of the whole people are turned toward it with anxiety and eager ex pectation, and we hope that every dele gate ifi thoroughly imbued with a strong sense of his individual responsibility, and an unswerving determination to do his whole duty to his constituents and the State. They have an opportunity of doing much good or harm, we trust it may not he the latter, and that genera tions yet unborn will sing peons of praise to this Convention, composed of Geor gia’s best and truest citizens. As for ourselves, we can live under any consti tution that a salamander could, but we would like to see some radical changes made in this one, as we don't believe that animal could stand it much longer. We look anxiously to the head of this body, as the Constitution terms Bob Toombs, hoping to see and unwonted display of cool, calm statesmanship, so that the criticism of the past may be drowned by the applause of the future. We again reiterate what we consider some of the leading essentials of the new Constitution —abolishment of the present inequitable homestead; reduc tion of officers —but we are in favor of paying those retained well; local legis lation reduced to a fixed standard ; re vision of the jury system; noninvest ment of the appointing prerogative in the Governor; biennial sessions of the Legislature, with a fixed salary with out mileage, drc. We hope there will he a short, active session, with no wrangling, no intermin able oratorical display, but earnest, uni ted endeavor to draft such a Constitu tion as the people will he proud to ratify. War News. The war in the East drags its weary length, and promises to be as long as some of the unpronouneable Russian names. Recent dispatches say : In the battle on the 29th the Russians retired after enormous losses. The Turks buried 1,000 Russians. The Turks’ loss was below 500. Since the 16th of June the Russians have been defeated five times. It is believed they lost 10,000 men on June 30th. Their wounded filled 800 wagons. The garrison of Kars made a sortie on Sun dajr and reopened communication with Mukhtar Pasha. The siege of Kars must be raised, if it is not already, a the invest ing army must go to the relief of the left wing ; otherwise the latter will be destroy ed. The Russian officers suffered severely and five of high rank were killed. St. Pe tersburg dispatches deny that the siege of Kars has been raised. The Government publishes a dispatch from the Russian camp before Kars, bearing to-day’s date, describing a successful attack on a Turkish battery. Mukhtar Pasha, however, has sent a long series of dispatches to Constan tinople, describing the victorious advance of his own and the right column. In the last dispatch, dated Alisoupie, July 3, he says : “We passed the day in making rc connoissances. This afternoon the Rus sians abandoned Ranliamed, Hying to the south of Kars across the Ardost heights. They were pursued by our cavalry. The Russian left wing is almost annihilated, and fleeing before the Turkish right with such precipitancy that they buried or concealed their artillery and destroyed or abandoned immense quantities of baggage and provis ions. The road from Ailiatz to Kara-Kil issa is covered with dead. Intercepted Russian letters show that the garrison of Bayazid is regarded as lost.” Crop Prospect*. The editor of the Columbus Enquirer— a wide-awake observer not given to ex aggeration—has just returned from a trip through middle Georgia, and he comes : back full of joy over “ the improved con- ; dition o£our south land and promise of gen- j erous crops.” “ Never,” he adds, “ has Georgia been more richly blessed. The yield of wheat, oats and other small grain is unprecedented. In all middle Georgia the wheat harvest has been plenteous, and steam threshers are as busy as they can be. I The acreage was very large, and the pro duct is equal to that of the West. These threshers will clean, count, and empty into bags probably seven hundred bushels of wheat per day. and require one-tenth for tollage, and they are kept running the live bmg day and far in the night. Corn is look *ng splendidly. With a few rains in the next, two weeks the crop will simply be enormous, and Georgia will have to buy no ! bread. Fruit laden* the trees, and every variety is abundant. From Macon hun dreds of bushels of peaches are being ship ped daily to the North. Cotton though small, is clean and appears healthy, ami is rapidly growing. Alabama shows the same condition. If prosperous seasons continue, thanks to a kind Providonce, the South will he placed on an excellent pecu niary basis, and once more prepared to commence the assurnacy of the proud posi tion she once occupied among the wealthy and stable of earth. It does seem provi dential that the year which has first wit nessedthe removal of political chains should also bring the blessing of glorious harvests and returning prosperity. There must be a divinity that shapes, our ends in mercy and wisdom, for after (he many hard years of toil and privation the beautiful bow of promise spans the horizon with its glowing colors.” Tlic Future of the Koutli. Southern Farm and Stock Journal. After ten years of gloom and pecuniary distresses, a brighter era is about to dawn upon the South. The stories of the Ku Klux, so industriously circulated and for a time believed, have had their day, and Northern and Western men are continually arriving in Georgia and other Southern States, for the purpose of purchasing homes. There is every reason for believ ing that the immigration into Georgia this fall and winter will assume immense pro portions. There are many and convincing reasons why this should he so. No section of the Union can claim advantages superior to Georgia. The climate, soil and variety of productions are all that could be de sired. The rights of all classes are protect ed. There is ample protection to life and property. The school system is yearly growing better. The obligations of the .State are promptly met. The fanning in terests are improving in every respect and the indications are that in this State more wheat will he gathered than will be need ed to meet the demands for flour. Those who move into our midst this fall and win ter will, we think, find plenty to cat and at moderate prices, while the land, as good as can be found anywhere, can be purchased at almost nominal rates. The Ntntc Fair. Atlanta Constitution. We hope every farmer will remember the State fair this fall, and let it be a part of his plans for the year to attend it with his wife and children, and bring something along for exhibition. There are very few who have not something of interest which, with little inconvenience to themselves, they might contribute to the display —a colt, pig or calf, or a sample of fine corn, wheat or oats, a cotton bale, or per haps some needlework or butter, or breads and such, by the housewife ; and surely the pride of every Georgia farmer is a suf ficient stimulus to induce him to undertake this small amount of trouble, to say no thing of the probability of his being mate rially rewarded by a handsome premium. The state fair this fall should be a grand success, and will be, if the interest mani fested by the people so far, is taken as a criterion. The advertisement which appears in this paper, gives some specimens ot the premi ums ottered, which show the marked lib erality of the agricultural society in these close times, more generous from the fact that while values generally have been scaled down to figures far below those of former years, the society keeps the amount of its premiums up to the olu standard. The premium list will be ready for gra tuitous distribution the latter part of the present month, and will be mailed free on application to the secretary at Atlanta. Governor Colquitt has been elected a lay delegate from the Atlanta District Methodist Episcopal Church South to the General Conference of that Church. [ESTABLISHED 1848.] J, J. & S.
