It is a truth that such an association has been formed, a joint stock compa- Uy, partly the offspring of the Agri cultural Society of this county, and that this Association has decided to hold a Fair, beginning the Tih day of November next. We aro glad tho move has been inaugurated, and feel assured in our own minds, that noth ing is more productive of general good than a Fair, iq stimulating zeal and energy in all branches of industry- Our delegates in attendance upon the Convention at Home, among them the Fresident of our county Society, ex. pressed themselves highly gratified with their trip, and saw and heard much to encourage thorn to put forth effort looking to improvement in all branches of industry. We are glad to see this spirit taking hold of the peo ple of this county, and only hope that tho work may continue until it will Lo como general. As to tho Fair wo claim that as a success already, not withstanding tho short time in which to prepare. Tho grounds that have been purchsed, tho Ferryman property, on the West side of town, are not sur. passed for beauty in South West Geor gia, as most of the citizens of this county are acquainted with them and will testify. Tho good citizens who own Saw Mills have contributed lumber to meet that demand, and a lib eral sum of money has been subscribed to put the grounds in order and eroct tho necessary buildings. The Building Committee are all live business mem and with the interest now being man ifested there is no doubt but that tho Fair will be a grand success. Let'all come to the rescue, and aid in this work Elsewhero we publish a list of premiums a# decided upon by our pre mium committoo. In a few woeks we will issue, in pamphlet form, the com plete Premium List, together w ith pro gramme and such other information as w ill be desired. Platform of tlie Pniiocralic Party of Texas. The noble Democracy of the “Lone Star” State have adopted the platform. All honor to them for utterly discard ing the wrangling and divisions that lead inevitably to the building up of Radicalism, the disruption and final defeat of tho National Democratic par ty. The glorious old doctrines of the true Demoeaaey aro reaffirmed not one word is said about *tho “Necv Depart ure and it is declared while yielding obedience to tho Constitution and laws," they hold to the cardinal princi of tho National Democratic party and with “abiding confidence” in it, they “pledge” to it their co-operation and support. We commend tho example of the Texas Democrats to the atten tion of Georgia Democrats. Whereas, It becomes necessary from time to time for the friends of consti tutional govei’nmcnt to re-assert their devotion to it, and to proclaim the prin ciples upon which it should be ad ministered ; and whem its enemies ob tain power, to expose the nusurpation, to the end that the whole people may be aroused to action to protect their lights at the ballot box ; therefore, Be it resolved, 1. That the Democ racy of Texas have an abiding confi dence in the devotion of the National Democratic party to correct principles of government; and wo pledge our selves to co-operate with it as an inte gral part thereof, in its futuro efforts to restore the government in its admin istration to the principles on winch it was founded. 2. That we rely upon the hongsty and capacity of the people for self-gov ernment. 3. That the constitution, as formed by the free voice of the States, is tho foundation of the powers of tho gov ernment. 4 That the powers of the genoial government are restricted to tho ex press grants of the constitution, and all powers not granted are reserved to tho dates and tho people thereof. 5. Tho regulating of suffrage and elections belongs to the respective States ; and any interference by the general government, with intent to control either is a gross usurpation of power, and the use of military at elec tions to overawe tho people, and pre vent a fair and full expression of their political sentiments is uttorly subver sive of free government; and should be resisted by all proper means, until the evil is abolished ; and an honest, untrammelled ballot restored. <3. The abolition of slavery as a re sult of the war, is accepted as a fixed fact, and it becomes our duty, by State legislation to provide for the security anti -wellbeing of all classes of men native'or foreign bom, white or black. 7. The immigration of the white races from all quarters of the world should be encouraged; and there should be no unreasonable impedi ments or delay to naturalization and citizenship. The Democratic party having been uniformly in favor of a policy torvard all persons of foreign birth, who in good faith seek a home among us. 8. That we will yield obedience to the Constitution anti laws. Bamum is to build an Opera Hoese at Bridgeport.

Ail old Scotch minister, on being asked to preach a sermon in tavor of equality', at a time of groat excitement on that subject, said at the close of a sermon, in substance as follows : You asked mo to preach a Herman on equality. Since that time I have ranged in vision through the vegeta ble world ; I saw' flowers of equal lus ter and perfume, trees of unequal height and value, but thero was no equality there. I passed to tho animal kingdom, and saw the trained horses and the fierce beasts of prey, the linnet and the hawk, the sparrow and the eagle, the sheep and tho horse, each occupying a relative sphere. In the sea where tho molluse and tho whale, the dolphin and the shark, tho timid and the fierce, each proper ly organized and doing its proper la bor, but I saw no equality. Lastly, I entered the gate of heaven, and on a great white thiono sat the Judge of tho Universe ; cherubim and seraphim fell before him, angelS of lesser degree did his bidding. I found seven heavens rising above each oth er, but no equality there. I gazed on the stars, and found “one star differ ent from another star in glory,” but there was no equally. So you see that there is no equality in all God’s vast kingdom. A Remarkable Woman. Ybf ut twenty miles from the Heal ing Springs, in tho Alleghany Moun tains, there lives a most remarkable woman. Her name is Morrison, but she is known all through the country as “Miss Jennio Rucker.” She is about sixty years of ago, has her hair bobbed like a man’s, wears a man’s bat, and rides a horse astride. Hunt ing is her means of livelihood, and she kills deer, bear and other game with tho skill of forty year’s experience. Not long since she w'ounded a deer, but before coming up with it another hunter—a man—had gotten to it and commenced carving it up The old lady expostulated with no avail, and finally drew a bead on him with her rifle to enforce her “rights,” the fel low jumped behind a tree, but left his heel exposed, at which vulnerable spot the old lady fired and hit. She got her deer. She has nine or ten child ren, and is said to treat all travelers hospitably who stop at her cabin.— Letter from Bath County Virginia. "Proposed Monument in London to Stonewall Jackson. —When tho tid ings reached England that “Stone wall’’ Jackson had fallen in battle, there was a profound feeling of re gret. Leading men in London set to work at once in order to devise how they could best givo an expression of sympathy for tho causo in Avliich a great man had fallen. It was resol ved to raiso subscriptions iu order to erect a monument with an appro priate inscription. Plans wero sent in to the committee ; a design selected ; and at least the monument was so far finished as to be taken to America in pieces and there fitted. An elegaDt railing to protect and adorn tho mon ument was also constructed. When all was ready for shipment (it is believed) on account of strong and somewhat effensive representations by the American Minister then in London the English authorities put forth strong influonco not to scud off the monument for the present Those in • fluenecs at the time prevailed. The packages wero taken to an artist’s studio iu a back street in London, and are probably there still. A sketch of the monument was given at tho time in one of the lead ing journals, with a severe and with ering condemnation of the government for the mean course they suggested and enforced. The inscription contained strong ex pression of sympathy on behalf of the Southern States. These facts we learn from a gentle man who was in England at the time -—Atlanta Constitution. From the Savannah News. Eight Hundred and Seventy-five Thousand Doliars. —Our cotempora ries are warned to boware of an adver tisement with the above heading, sent out by a firm calling themselves Ben son, Mills & Cos., 32 Bond street, New York. This is the the third change in the Metropolitan Cash Prize Com pany, and is indicative of a big swin dle. Look out, Green horns. Columbus and Albany liailrord. —At tho called meeting in Columbus on tho Dili, says the Sun, Hon. Martin J. Crawford was called to the chair, and Major J L. Dunham Avas apointedSec retary. Astor some explanatory remark by the chairman a report of the Com mittee was called for and read by Gen eral Benning, chairman of the Com mittee. The report was able and full and gave great satisfaction to the largo audience assembled fully vindicating the importance of the enterprise Us a feoder to tho commerce and industrial interests of Columbus, and as ft safe and paying investment. Tho report recommended a subscription of 200,- 000 and was unanimously adopted. It is noted ns a curious fact that the civil war in this country was one of tho causes of the present famine in Persia. The high price of cotton re sulting from the war induced many of the smaller cultivators iu the Per sian cotton belt to abandon other crops and devote themselves almost exclu sively to cotton growing, and depend for food upon ihe Southern provinces. Hence a failure iu the wheat and rice districts lias proved equivalent to a general failure. Ilero is something for tlio Radicals to look after. According to their logic it is but right to force the rebels, since they were instrumental in producing tho famine, to relieve tho starving Persians. A Persian bureau should at once bo created to gather tithes of tlie offending insurgents,— Register. The Philadelphia Age has tho fol fowing. Fifty companies of infantry live of cavalry and a light battery of four guns, are to constitute tho mili tary force of the District of Columbia. This is a heavy array of men and guns for such a sm all territory in time of peace. But Gen. Grant favors a mil itary form of government, and wishes to surround himself Avith bayonets, in order to be prepared for a coup d'etat, in case such a step should be necessa ry to maintain power. From the Ku- Klux bill to a Napoleonic coup d'etat, tho step is but a short one. During the month of July, says the Washington Patriot, tho marine disas ters to Vessels belonging to citizens of tho United States, or bond to and from the ports of this country, are re ported to be twenty-three in number. Os the vessels suffering these disinters eleven were wrecked, four foundered, three sunk by collison, two wero aban doned at sea, two Avere burned, and one is missing, the fate of which is yot unknown. Ono steamer was lost, two ships, four barks, five brigs, and eleven schooners, of an aggregate value of sl-9,000, exclusive of car goes. After many wonderful mutations, it is said Napoleon 111 proposes to again seek a home in Switzerland, the free land which sheltered him in his early days of exile and obscurity. Thus the sight of asylum, which despots nearly all ignore and which Napoleon him self would have readily violated when lie was at tho height of his power, is once more invoked from a liberal Eu ropean republic, and the ex-Emperor goes back to bracing mountains to dream of past greatness or, perhaps, to concoct schemes for tho restoration of his dynasty. A Jvertucky farmer being asked what he thought of the new departure replied that it appeared to him “as if some impatient Democrats, seeing the Radicals going to the mischief on a down grade, with the brake off, had determined to heat them by jumping on the cow-cather.” It will cost $371,000 to cnlaigo tlio Augusta Canal. jte Hr emka'TS "CAUTION !
