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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
