The Mule I a.r.
We do not suppose that here wis
ever bnfure so large a numb r of civil
ians, male ands male, in the city of
Macon as was there the past weik, vis
iting the great Agiicultur; 1, Veloci
pede and Tournament-riding Fair of the
State of Geirgia. That there was a
greater number and variety of articles on
exhibition, representing improved tgri
cultural implements aud machinery of si
kiuds than the Exeou ive Uonunit ec
and friends of the caute expec ed there is
no doubt j nor is there any doubt but
that there was more velocipede and
‘1 ournamen'.-riding aud Ethiopian de
linia’ions than was expected by the sub*
stantial farmers of tbo State.
We are not disp sed to find fault
with the officers or die Executive Com
mittee, supposing it accessary for estab
lishing and supporting the Socie'y to
allow interests f>r< igu to agriculture and
mechinhs the privilege of settieg up on
the grounds to ply their vocations.
Again, there is no doubt but that the
excitement of the rink an l ring-catch
ing, caused many hundreds of persons
to visit the Fair that wiull n >t have
done so had not those amusements Icon
allowed, thereby throning thou-auds of
dollars into the treasury of the Society.
We hope to see the time whon it will
tot be nepessaty to have these appen
dages to draw the people t >gether aj
our Agricultural Slate Fairs.
There seemed to be much confusi in
and a great want of system, but all ih's
is accounted for in the fact of there be
ing a greater number and varb ly of ar
ticles on exhibit) in than was cxp"cted,
and (he want of good, experienced com
mittee-men to look after the different
interests. It is impracticable to think
that men can leave their homes aud
business for weeks-to woik for the H'a’e
at large, without remuneration for thc:r
services; and wo wuuld suggest to the
Society to pay a per diem to their Exec
utive Committee, at least as much as i
paid to our Legislators, aud also pny to
the different Committees appointed to
award premiums a sufficiency t> cover
their board aud travelling expenses
while in attendance on the Fair. Th n
may wc expect a careful examination of
every article on exhili ion, and a re
port from the C.muiittees made after
mature dcliberat'on which will give to
til exhibitors entire satiß. r uctipn. When
men work for nothing, we cannot con
sistently attack them ; therefore, we
are for getting the rigbffciod of meu
in the right place, and pay them f r
their services. Wc know of an instance
wherein great injusiee was done an iu
vontcr, simjly because he ot his repre
sentative was not at Lis machine when
the Committee called to examine it.—
Hearing that the Committee had passed
on that line of Mechines,we called the
attention of the Chairman to the fast
this machine net ha. mg an c.ximin .ti n.
and his reply was,“there was no one
present to represent it, and the premi
um had been awarded to another man ”
From the iuf.rotation wo have received
ftorn disinterested men, we are led t>
believe that this simple invention of a
Southern man that received no atteutun
from this Committee, cau do the same
wotk that is claimed for the cue re
ceiving the premium, and cos's about,
three-fourths less moEcy.
We do not know who will receive
premiums, but ven ure the assertion _
that many of the winning machines are
not, nor never will be in use iu the
State. We were surprised to see s>
much machinery from abroad, and ev
ery mau contending for the different
premiums. It is well enough to invite
inventors and manufacture to visit our
State Fairs and exhibit what they may
please to do, but can’t see the justice iu
putting them on an equality with the
citiseDs of Georgia. It is not expected
that the down trodden, pover'y strick
en Southern people can successfully
compete with the Northern and Wes
tern Slates, at this time to
see the time when we will be prepared
to do so, and only ask time to enable us
to get on our fret again. What encour
agement is it for us to try to compete
with men who have the advantage over
us in appliances of every kind ? Let the
premiums ie offered to Georgiars, and
we then feel that wc a'e all on an equal
footing.
The Fair held at Macon, instead of
being a State Fair, was a world’s or
Uuiied States Fair, and we hope the
Society will change the name, and next
year give us a State Fair. The year af
ter it will be held at Macon again, we
suppose; then they can give us another
world’s Fair. (Don’t think Atlanta
can manage to feed and sleep so large a
number as was in Macon.)
It did us good to hear some of our
Northern brethren express their surprise
at seeing such a respectable, well
dressed orderly people, way down in
Ku Klux Gtorgu. We wish we eould
be as much pleased with some of them
as they were wdh us; but tbo almighty
dollar brought them out, here and no
thing che, and wo could not for ou r
life fall in love with them. To thss who
caiuc from other confederations, we ex
tend a hearty welcome.
Ueii Winle Hampton's Oration
tVz have not space to give to our
readers the truly eloquent aud impress
ive oration of Gen. llampton, aud mua
he content to give his closing remarks!
in which he gives good advice to the
people of the Stub, and compliments
his Georgia compunions-iu arms :
Our du’y to our country demands
that we uh mid devote all our energies,
our hands, our hearis, our soils, to the
resto.a iou of prosperity; to the rc-ew
tibliSiin at of order; of sailing peace
and tranquil happiness, throughout all
the limns ot our beloved South. Lot
us lift her up from the dust, and show
tiiat she still has loyal uud devoted SODS
Lot us clhg with reverence—a revor
euce rude do per and holier by her
Aiisfortuu —o this our native laud ;
let no prom se ■ f wealth or advance
ment tempt us to forsake her. When
the barbarous horde destroyed Rome,
aud her e us in despair and sorrow wire
about, to forsiko the eternal city, we are
|j!d that the imp n In g and om was avert
ed by a happy omen. A Onturiau
pa.-siug hi b company to relievo guaid
where the sad concourse were delibcrat
irtg on the proposed removal, gave the
usu.l wi.nl of command ; ‘ Eosign,
plant y ur colors, wo w.ll remain here.”
Ihe Sei.itcr.-> lushing from temple, ex
claimed ; “The gods have sj oxen, wc
obey.” The populaoe took up the cry
and rent the skua with shouts of “Roam
foiever 1” Lot m, my countrymen, as
we stand amid our turns, plant our col
o i on ill >. graves of our ancestors, in
voking reveren ly the protcc'im of our
God, about with more than Roman pu-
Tiniism, wi h oho voieo : “The 8-uch
now ! the 8 utfi Grove!”
Mr l’rifi.d lit aud gentlemen of the
Committee, the agreeable ia»k assigned
tome ly ymr kindness h don-, and
piihitps 1 should here pause; but may
i crave your iudulgeuco anl ihat of the
audience f>r a few words more ? Stand
,ng fieie as I have duue for the last
hour, and looking over thiv vast throng,
I have seen many faces which have met
me in other scenes than this, and my
car, if l mistake tut, has caught the
t ues of voices hi urd often bet .re amid
the fire and ris tig high above tbediu of
battle.
These sights and those sounds have
stirred my heart to its depths, and 1
would not, 1 cannot, go hence wi.houl
extending to my and, ar old comrades-iu
artus one word of cordial and heartfelt
greeting. Men of my old command,
crave soldiers, true friends, you know
that I have not forgotten you ; looking
into your hearts, you foci tuat 1 eau
never do this. Tne ties that bind me
to you arc giuven tn my heart with a
pea of hi e. L eking ou you agiin, af
ter years oi absence, memory carries me
back to those yarns cf herein strife,
when it was my pr.d-. to lead you. 1
reud wi.h the piofeundest emoti u< your
and ep su3v.iing-,your constant privations,
your dauuUuss courage, your devoted
s iv.ee, y ur cheerless bivouacs amid
the snow a of Virginia, your trusiy pick
ot pub's on the Potomac and the Rap
pah . nuuek, y~ur solitary watch fires
wt.icu h ive blazed ou uearly every hill
and valley in Virginia, your heavy
marches, y ..ur battle fields which stretch
ed from Getiy.fljurg'b to the Savannah,
ail crowd on my mcmiry as 1 stand
among jou ouco more. 1 recall to that
scene in the dark wuods of. North Car
olina—who of you Las forgotten it?—
where, as the eariiist lays of ihe fast
sun -that tbonc on the Southern Coafed.
eraoy lighted up the forest, the old
‘‘First Riigade”—ll at always in the
fight—first in a ! i coble actions aud hon
orable cQterprt.-Ci —fi.st everywhere,
save iu retreat —were mar.-halicd before
U'e lor the last time. The banners they
had borne so often to victory were furled
—the sabres which were won' always in
the front of battle, Luug id y in their
aeahbard, aud instead of ihc glad shouts
which used to berall the welcome a, -
proaoh of battle, in deep silence, with
d.jeoted counlances anl drooping fig
ures the men clustered around me to
say aud hear the saddest of words,
“Farewell!” while on many a check
breezed by the smoke of uiird'tbana
hundred hart.e fields, the silent tear
told, more el qu mtly than words could
do, how deep was the affection that
bound us tig ither.
Th.se reeollcotions come thick and
fast as 1 gieet again my gallant old sol
diers of Georgia, and i would be false
to you and fatoe to every instinct of my
nature, were I not to boar, before this
audience of your kindred, where the
virtue, the intellect, the patriotism, the
manhood, and the beauty of Georgia’s
noble Siate are so largely repraaeoted,
willing aud heartfelt tea imouy to those
high soldier-qualities which made your
career in our noble army of heroes sec
ond to none.
You will pardon, Mr. President, I
trust, this digresiou from my legitimate
theme when you consider how strong are
the ties with which men who have lor
years shared together oommon dangers,
ermmon sorrows, and common glories
; are hound to each other, and even those
who were ouco our foes can sympathize,
j 1 am sure, with the feelings which
prompt an old commander to yield a
. just tribute of ptaise to the brave meu
; who oace lulluwed him. To you, my
otu tliollds, 1 beg to .If':r a few wolds
I of counsel, lor i It el that I can speak
to you witu authority, not that aut.'ror
lywitu which accident once iuvested
i.jji', hut that given by all- etiou. in by
gme years you never refused to hear
1 never called on you in vnij ; I
, never appealed to you that you did not
respond, and I fain hope that my words
will not n.w fall unheeded on y. ur ears.
| Let me adjure you then, to be true sol
diers in the cause of peace, as you were
in that of war. Dedicate yourselves to
. th j service of ycur State aud aid in ad
vancing her in the noble carter she is
entering. March od bravely iu the line
duty points out, shoulder to shoulder,
as you used to do amidst the roar of
baitl . li srtto no violence to redress
public wrong, but seek to remedy them
1 y peaceful agencies. Help each other
along the path of life ; extend the kind
ly hand of charity to your disabled
comrades, and forget not, the widows
and orphans of your dead brothers. For
myself I ask you to keep a place in
your hearts, as I shall do for you in
mine, aud believe that I utter no id e
fhrase when I say that I pray God to
keep aud bbse you.
Hisliiigtiislit-d Visitors.
We copy from the Telegraph & Jits
sengcr a part of the proceedings of the
second day, which were opened about
2 o’clock, by the presentation to lion.
Ren. C. Yancey of the invited guests of
the Society by A. 0. Bacon, E*q , who
su.d:
“J fr. President: Asa member of the
Reception Committee, it affords me
pleasure to present to you, and through
you to tho Georgia Agricultural Socie
ty, the gentlemen from other States who
have Visitid us upon tuis occasion iu re
sponse to our iuvttatiun. They have
Come Irani all the leadiug States, from
South Carodua to Wisconsin. Some of
them occupy Ligb official positions,
•vuiie most, if not ail, toe remainder are
gou.lcu.cu prominently identified with
.u»pi>. taut industrial onierpiiscs. They
are our guests, and as sued 1 present
them to you, that you iniy express to
them, ofii.ialiy, those feelings of cordial
weloume entertained ibr tnem by the
memb ra of the Society.”
Mr. Yancey then audressed the visit
mg ,ij a speech warm elo- (
quent and cordial iu its welcome. We'
regret that our notes would only enable
us to give an outline ot this admirable
speech, aud an abstract always does in
justice to that which is eloquently said,
lio was greeted with frequeut applause
by his audieuce, the enthusiasm ol
which was specially aroused when, in
alluding to the lieh resources of the
S.ate, he bade ihcm look upou the wo
men ot Georgia, her fairost jewels.
Mr. Yaney was responded to on the
part ot the invited guests by Judge
Woodward, of aud Gen.
Horace CaproO, Cpinuiii-sioner of the
Agricultural Bureau, Washington, D,
C., in the following words :
KEbI'O.NSE OF lION. G. W. WOOIAVAIID, OF
I*EN NSJTLVAMA.
Hr. President, and Gentlemen oj the
Gevnjia Mate Agricultural Society.
Several citizens of Middle aud North
ern States have come, upou the invita
tion of your Society, to witness the re
newed energies ol Georgia as mauilest
ed in this very euccesetul Fair, and to
interchange friendly salutations with our
iellbw-oiuzens ol the South. We were
met by a committee of your body, aud
to their provident politeness wc are in
dobted, under the providence oi God,
tor a sale and most agrecatle joutnev.
At Atlanta wo Were kindly received by
Governor Ruilosk and at
breaktust, and wo cauie oa to ih s beau
niul city with no accident ir detent.on,
anil bile we havj been entertained wiib
u iiu.y Su'j'Ji in hospitality, tho lame
el winch is world wide. For all these
attentions, as well as for your cordial
reception ou Ojha.f of the Society over
which you preside, my fellow tiavelers
have implied upou me, since wa came
upon this platform, the duty of express-,
ing their hean-Klt acknowledgements,
in their name aud for myself 1 return
you our thanks. Wo have met as
Iriends—as friruds of agriculture, as
eiiizms ol a common couutry—who ac
knowledge a oemmon tlag and a common
cons itutiou, and who are bound to a
common desiiuy. We have been grat
ified witfi the evidence of prosperity
that has met us on every hand. It your
prostration by the war was as complete
as J supposed, you must be the most en
ergetic and recuperative people of whom
1 nave ever read.
llow much better it is that citizens of
tho different scciious should meet ou
a-efi a peaceful fi,li as ibis tLan on tbo
battle field. War tramples tho greeu
earifi and stains it with blood. Agri
culture uiakia it bring for h bread for
tho eater, aud fruits and flowers that
delight the senses. Ttc voice of war
is carthago delenda est. Tho prayer ol
agriculture is ; “tby kingdom come, give
us this day our daily bread ”
Sir, l nave no sympathy with the
man who would drench our uativo laud
in blood, in preference to the cultivation
ol these peaceful arts and industries.—
We Northern men differ from each oth
er in many souuments and opinions; in
many things we differ from you, and
among yourselves are diversities of
tLOUgnt and action. But to-dav we
merge all differences ; we forget all dis
agreeable memories ; we leave the dead
past to bury the dead, and we unite as
brethren of a common couutry to pro
mote the great interists of agricubure,
on which the prosperity of all States
and nations are built. Let us love as
brethren. Let the sections exchange
their production.-. Let them marry and
give in marriage. Let the South wel
come Northern capital and iudaslry,
and the near future shall repair the
ravages of war; anew prosperity shall
return South, and then, if no’, before,
you men and women ol the South can
apply the words that burst from the lips
ol Byron, as from Alpine heights he
looked down upon Italian plains—
Oh, it is a ffoodlv sight to see
What lieav’n hath ooue for this ddiciou* laud,
What fruits of fragrance blush on every tree,
What goodly prospects o’er her Lilia expand.
Renewing our thanks for yocroordial
reoeption, which we as cordially recip
rocate, I proceed to introduce to you,
individually, the members of our dele
gation.”

The Doctor treats all diaaases, in their various forms and stages, without th* use of Cal

whatever ; his remedies being compounded by himself, and composed entirely of Roots, Herbs

debilitate the system in the least, but strengthen, vitalise and invigorate ; neither do they
prevent the patient from attending to bis or her every day business. Particular attention

DISEASES OF THE EYE AND EAR.
The Doctor has visited many of the cities two, three, and four times over, and has successv
