This irreprcsKihk, little city, which
has been laid in ashes twice within a
twelve month, is not only rising in sol
id brick and moitur iiom her ruins,
hut has had the enterprise to project
and put in successful operation a high
ly cieditable Agricultural Fair. This
closed yesterday nud web-urn was well
attended. The display ol stuck, vege
tables, fancy wok, etc., was voiy res
}H table. A large delegation from
this place, including the young ladies
cl Andiew College, went over on
Wednesday, and wcie received with a
lino baud of music, and every demon
sUwtijn of honor. It was a joyous gn
la occasion to the happy spirits just re
leased from the school room.

orator of the day, and l.is address
charmed and delighted his nuuicrtus
uuditoiy.
Senatorin I A uuiiiii'. dull.
Al a caucus inciting if Democratic
legislators on Friday night last, Hon.
Thomas M. Norwood, Ia lawyer of Sa
vannah was nominated for U. F. Sen
ator on the eight ballot. Tho Macon
Telegraph and Messcngei has this to
eay about him :
This gentleman as elsewhere stated,
is n practising lawyer of Savannah,
and is generally spoken of as a man id ;
fail abilities and exemplary character
what yam Flick would call “ a sternly
goer. ” He was born in the neighbor
ing county of Munrce, somewhere
about forty years ago, and is there
fore still young enough to improve and
is therefore still young enough to im
prove and grow in mental stature. He
has also represented Chatham county
in the Legislature We have no doubt
that, at the start, he will compare fair
ly with the generality of the stock now
in the United States Senate, and hope,
before l.is time is cut, Lo will get ahead
of most of them.
Norwood is, in fact, in the lino of
distiuquished precedent. Like tho
wise and great Ulysses himself, his
father was a tanner, anil w ith no
great stretch of tho imagination'* wo
jnay conceive that years ago Norwood
nnct Ulysses might have been dressing
hides About tho same time. Thus
sprung aline from the loins of the peo
ple and the tanner’s block, both may
prove thut there is nothing like leath
er.

though ho plays admirably well on any

Robert Bishop desires us to state
that he thanks Mr. Smith for his in

Bullock’s resignation and flight from
justice boiuis to l.avo peueirated a
dark place, aud parties concerned are
b -ginning to show their hand. Dr.
Angier and others liuvu again and
again inquired of Henry Clews A Cos.,
who luivo been amu ui.ciil us the fi
nancial agents for the Flute of Geor
gia, for information us to what had
been done with tho bonds known to
have been executed, but that firm
have refused to give tho information,
and have even denied being agents of
the State. Now, however, that Bul
lock is a confessed culprit, utul has
lun away, anil a Democratic Logislu-
I turn is in session, which is likely to
! overhaul and expose the rascalities ol
1 the plundering crew, the firm of Clews
mV Cos. has filial, in the Governor's of
fice, .1 claim ngniust iho S’tateof Goor
| gin, 'or money advanced by them to
| pay notes’, and drafts of Foster Blud
i gi’tt Superintendent of Western anil
• Atlantic Itailroad—many of them hav
i ing the approval of Governor Bullock
| —to the round little sum of three hun
| dred and seventy seven thousand eight
hundred and twenty-two dollars aud
j forty-live cents, ($377,8*22.45.) This
! much has been definitely ascertained,
and it is intimated that Clews & Cos.
have claims amounting to some $1,51)0-
000 -though this is not certainly
known. Dr. Angier requested Judge
’ Couley to furnish him a copy of Clews’
statement of account, but lie declired
j to do so for a day or two, till it could
j be fixed up.
Wy give the following abstract of
drafts, notes, &c., which they claim to
have paid out of their own funds, and
• now usk tho Stato to foot their little
bill.
DBIKTB.
The following drafts were drawn by
Foster Blodgett, ns Superintendent of
the Western and Atlantic Itailroad, on
Henry Clews A Cos.:
1. Oho payable at sight to James
G Mitchell, Treasurer Fast Tenues
see, Virginia and Georgia Itailroad,
inr the sum of $13,(54(5.08. ft was
dated 30th December, 1370—after the
lease of the Slate Bond—and marked
“approved” by Bullock, ft was paid
to It. T. Wilson & Cos., to whom it had
been transferred by Mitchell.
3. Another sight draft, exactly the
same in every respect, except that it is
for the sunt of $5,400.38.
3. Draft on Clews & Cos., dated 2fitli
December, 1870—the day before the
i lease—payable to E. W. Cole, Prosi-
J dent of tho Nashville and Chattanoo
ga Railroad Company, fifteen days af
ter sight, anil approved by Gov. Bul
lock, for $25,000.
4. Another dr ft for sane amount
—525,000 in favor of same party,
made on the same day and approved,
payable thirty days alter sight.
0. Another, hearing sumo date, for
mine amount—s2s,oo0 —in favor of
same paity and approved, payable for
ty five days after sight. This is trans
ferred by ltir. Cole to J. F. Bransford,
General Agent, aud by him to Willis
Banncy, Secretary of the Louisville
aud Nashville Railroad Company.
0. Another draft exactly similar in
every respect to the foregoing—lit
same amount—s2s,oo0 —having same
approval and indorsement—only pay
able bi.vfy duys alter tight.
7. A draft dated 25tli February,
1871, payable three days after sight,
in favor ot tho same for $20,775.85,
approved by Gov Bullock, anil signed
by Foster Blodgett, Superintendent
of tho Western uml Atlantic
Railroad. This is indorsed by Y. Iv.
Stevenson for Mr. Cole, uml collected
by the Importers’ anil Traders’ Na
tional Bank ol Now York.
8. Another draft, precisely the same
as the foregoing, every way, except
the amount, which is $1,052.31.
All the foregoing seems (o ho for
freights due connecting roads by the
State Road, under Blrdgett’s misman
agement. The money collected lure
was used for some otlier purpose than
paying other roads, and then Blodgett
and Bullock drew on Clews & Cos. for
money to replace wliat they hail oth
erwise squandered.
Tho following draft on Clews is cu
rious, and needs explanation:
'J. It is dated 2(ith December, 1870
the day before the lease, and directs
Clews & Cos. to pay to tho order of I.
P. Harris, Treas urer, 'l'hiry Thousand
Dollars, sixty-five duys after date. It
is signed by Blodgett, and is indorsed
by I. I’. Harris, Treasurer Western
and Atlantic Itailroad, aud by H. I.
.Kimball.

tho State Treasury, since the lease of
the Road, for State Road claims, the
sum of $32,874.53. Now he is -ailed
upon to pay Clews' claim, which, ii
done, will amount to $811,000.08 out
of tho pockets of the people to muke

pear to have applied to some other
purpose than a legitimate) one; and
lice end is not reached yd ! Verily Fos
