Ona week Ago we pnt this old paper in
t new drum at oraddemble ezpenoo to
,,-irwlTf*. It Ukoa at loaat a ton and a
quartos of costly type to complete thi*
ration, and the meat remarkable thing
i hnat thi* purchase i* that it waa all
for u. in hoodoo, England, at the
ngh Messrs. oL P.
Hoei'll A Co., of Hew York, their agent*
; n ihk country. It ia rcry clear und
typ*a and the whole great t;.-
r ..ty and bnlk of it eante through packed
in metal lane* inclosed in wood—aafely
_ nithout a letter miaaing, ao far aa we
jf at present adrined, cieept some of
the printer, contend there ia a deficit in
the letter x in one font, but we tell them
to wait and see, or ootint tho number of
i'. used in composition and loam bow
rely few go a groat way...
Sow we bought this English type, not
l.esuw! it ia any bettor than American
!rpe,hut juattoeawc money—it inchsapor.
That i* to my, a man cun pay the exorbit
.nt protootiro duties exacted on foreign
trpc.and still find the typo cheaper than
ti.r probetod American typo. It Ls not u
I. dutiful illustration of the workings of a
hi|>h irtrained protective system thut, at
th" hint, it ia practically destructive of
the very industry it is designed to protect.
True, thu law proscribe* a heavy loun-
tv op American type to be pnid by tho
,-itin n who promimea to buy typo not
manufactured in America. Hut tho law
a)*o provide* a similar bounty on the
■rotal* which compose tho type—tho
t oh, machinery and appliances with
which it i* m do; and then, too, aa tho
inovitahlo lesnlt of this false and vicious
.y.tein, the coat of production is increased
in every other particular, till at lost
tie bounty is more than off-act, and tho
foreign manufactured article staggers in
with all the legal burden* on its shoulders
anil in apito of them.
So it is that foreign types are bought
new. when under a light duty nobody over
thought of buying them. So it is, that
feraign book* have become almost as com*
men in Amerioan marts a* American
honks, while before the war it wan hard
to find a foreign hook on tho shelves of
an Amerioan bookseller. And if tho coun-
try will only continue thi* silly busmens
hmg enough, it will ooufusc and break
down the whole range of American man
ufacture*. ■
But this ia a digression. Wo are ox-
trvmely grateful to the Georgia press for
their kind and very complimentary notices
of the paper in its new apparel. We liavo
made no allusion to the matter heretofore
from an extreme aversion to the system
of wilf-pufllng which baa become too fash
ionable uf late among a portion of the
press, and which, as Mr. Toomlis would
say, absolutely fatigues public dingust.
Bitt we am rejoiced to aay that tho T*i.z-
uuru ha* a good many friend* and read
ers, and was never in a more prosperous
1.111(11(100.
Some of our most valued patrons say
they regret the change of typo and the
loss of much of the distinctive peculiar
ity in the appearance of tho paper. Let
niu-h remember that although tho type
could easily be rood when it was aban
doned, it would have been soon past that
condition. It had been four years in con
stant use printing ten editions a week,
and waa pretty thoroughly worn out. A
change soon was inevitable, and it is not
graceful to lie /erred into anything—
oven into a new dross. We trust os the
eyes of our readers become again famil
iar with the new lineament., they will
turn toword the old journal as heartily
as ever; and wo shall strive to make it
worthy of their affection.
Tho Carolina Cotton Crop.
Passengers, wo are sorry to **y. report
that all that fino cotton crop we saw six
week* ago on the Augusta and Wilming
ton road, which at that time promised
better than any espial area of cotton we
had seen in Georgia is gone np—ruined.
Tho nut h is taken it, and little or noth
ing is to be soon now bnt dry sticks white
with prematurely opened cotton, which
will yield aay about a hale to ten acres,
of an indifferent lint. The rust has l>een
as destrnct ivo as caterpillar could possi
bly k*T© bfien. This is hard on tho Car-
olinians; but wo are glad to say that
in tho mom region tho yield of com was
abundant.

Thc Approaching State Fair.
Capt. T.G.-IIolt. who has just returned
from the North, report! exceedingly en
couraging prospect* for the approaching
State Fair in Macon, and says it cannot
fail to be an exhibition for exceeding in
magnitude and attractiveness anything
which lias ever been witnessed in this
State. Wherever ho went among the
manufacturers, merchants, former*, stock
raisers, poultry and racing men of the
Northern, Eastern and Middle States
great interest was felt in the exhibition.
Almost evoxy department of trade and
manufactures in New York City will be
elegantly und abundantly represented at
the Fair, and the goods on exhiostion will
also lie on sale at the same time. The
Fair will be a grand baxar, combining a
magnificent exposition of cTery variety
of goodtv waxes and inotehandixo. .such os
never was seen before in Georgin, with
every opportunity for purchase.
Such shopping on a grand scale, in the
midst of such an endless and puxtling
variety of the rich, rare, beautiful and
useful, will bo enough to craze the ladies
and drive pupa and husband to despair.
Tho display in embroideries, fancy
dress goods, carpetings, furniture, tap
estry and upholstery, military goods,
boots and shoes, carriages, musical instru
ment i. jewelry and silver ware, furnish
ing goods of all kinds, form and garden
utensils, and machinery of all kinds, will
far exceed any existing conceptions. The
leading houses in all these departments
will be handsomely represented.
Going to New England and to New
Jersey und Delaware and Maryland lie
found preparations on foot for an abun
dant representation of the choice cattle,
sheep, Hwino and poultry of those States,
and lively inquiries for room*nnd accom-
lll'-l.ltii'U-.
In short, the only question is provision
for the crowds who will be here, and it
will be necessary for the honor of Macon
to bestir ourselves to the utmost to secure
sleeping accommodations for the' vast
multitude of-visitore.
These accounts from Capt. Holt agree
with the facts apparent here. The exhi
bition spaco has been nearly doubled, and
t it is all engaged. Provision for 2i0
iiorscs has 1-ecn made and is making, and
it is all applied for. The rush will be
extraordinary. The spectacle—milit ary,
civic and equine, the display of all that
is gorgeous, beautiful and useful in every
department, will exceed anticipation and
description. The amusement, fun and
excitement will be great. Only let us
have good weather, and Macon will play
the host to the best of her ability.

The fight rcsnlt-sl in Mr. Thornton re
ceiving a very painful but not dangerous
wound in the right arm. The quarrel
originally commenced between Mr. Chav.
Pemberton and Mr. Thornton. The dif
ference arose from a lsit mode on a game
of billiards. Pemberton claimed, ofta
the bet was lost, that it was mud- iu jest,
and Mr. Thornt.-m insisted on the pay
ment of it. A dispute was entered into,
and a good deal of abusive language
used, especially by Mr. T. Tho Iielliger-
ents armed tlicmsciv- with biUiard lialls,
cues, und other such weapons as were
convenient. Had it nut l>oen for the ef
forts of Mr. Connor, the proprietor of the
saloon, to keep the jsiace. a fight would
have certainly ensued there. Mr. P. then
left the billiard-room in the company of
Sir. Bichani Clarke. Here tho accounts
differ a little, but the following details
are corroborated by the majority of the
narrators: Thornton, accompanied by
two friends, approached Pemberton, who
was stum ling in tbo vicinity of the cigar
stand, renewed the dispute, which was
entered into by the whole party. Clarko
warned Thornhio to be careful about tho
language he used to Pemberton. Mr.
Thornton then asked Clarke what ho laid
to do with it, »nd followed the. inquiry
with a gross insult. The consequence
was that the wools were scarcely uttered
before they hitchod. As they came to
gether Clarko inflicted a very ugly wound
with a pocket knife, cuttin g a deep gash
through the muscle of Thornton’s arm,
just abovo the elbow. Tlie parties were
then separated. Mr. T„ whose arm was
bleeding profusely, was carried into Pull
man ,t Low's drug house, and Dr. AVest-
morelnnd called in to dress the wound.
After examining too wound and attend
ing to the wants of the wounded man
Dr. W. stated that nothing serious could
possibly result from the cut.
Tut same paper says that Mr. Phillips
and his party from that city, who have
gone to Florida on an affair of Honor,
were at Neal’s Landing on Wednesday,
but that Col. Waddell and his friends bad
not arrived np to that time. The Phil
lips party will remain in Florida until to
day, when, if tho other side do not make
their appearance, they will return to
Georgia.
Col. L. E. Bleckley, of Atlanta, con
tradicts a statement mode by a corres

■ Col. Thomas B. Loxc, special agent of
the Postoffice Department, has recently
written a letter to the postmaster at
Grantville, of whom complaint had been
made for non-delivery of newspaper mat
ter from his office, from which we extract
the following. We move a vote of thanks
to the Col. for this much-needed moni
tion:
I do not consider it irrevelant to call
your attention to tho close business rela
tionship which exists la-tween the Post-
office Department and tho Press. It is
certainly very onoying to gentlemen who
invest their time, money and talent in
attempting to develop the resources of
their respective localities to find that for
want of promptness on the port of those
whose duty it is to deliver the mail, that
arti-les that have cost weeks of study,
and talent of the first order to prepare
for the public eye, ore carelessly over
looked, or not delivered until the time
has uassed. when good could have boon
obtained by their perusal. Tho manu
facturing. mercantile, agricultural, and
in fact, all business suffers by such care
lessness, and I trust, hereafter, you will
not allow the patrons of your office to
complain if in your power to prevent it.

W. IV. Turner. £>?., Eitonton. Ga.:
DeabSib: Yours received. To change
you:- hand screw to horse, yon will need
one of our horse power screws and yokes,
with cap piece—price $100 on cars here—
and yon can dispose of yoar hand screw
to some one to build a wood frame.”
Now, this letter is just exactly as we
intended it should be. Our band-power
cotton screws are not intended to be run
by horse, or to be changed so as to nm
that way ; we make them to bo put in the
gin house under shelter, and to bo worked
by bands, and are superior for that pur-
x»e, bnt to be run by horse it re-quires
evers sweeping a circle doable the di
ameter it does by hand, consequently
running the screw down too slow. Wo
make a horse-power press which rails
down very fast, and we would uu iwt-r all
enquiries to the same import ia the same
manner and advise them, us wedol Mb,
Frank Levcrett, when he ordered certain
articles to make this change for Sir. Tur-
ner, to buy a horse-power screw and sell
the hand screw. - '- r
On the 26th July we received the Tetter
below:
Eatonton. July 26,1S73.
Gents—One of our customers has one
of yonr hand presses that be wishes to
change to a horse-power. What will you
furnish tie driver for, or necessary fix
tures for tho change ? Can you furnish
it at once ? The party is not able to buy
a new one; so he wants, if possible, to
chage this. T. H. Ward has.» similar
one changed that works well: a A s
Yours truly, Frank Levebett.
Now, Mr. Levcrett asked us for the ar
ticles he wanted, and said the party was
not able to buy a new screw ; and bow
could wo suppose tbat it was Sir. Turner,
when we knew he was a large planter
and could buy what he wanted? How
ever, we replied to Mr. Levcrett all that

“The falsity of the statement (picture)

with the real course of General Butler
while holding military sway over tho
Crescent City will cause it to be discredi
ted at the South, at least. For it is
known that for an area of three squares
around his headquarters an armed guard
paced day and night, and that he never
issued from his strong retreat without a
military escort sufficient to prevent even
an approach to the Royal Hyena—a so
briquet given him for haunting tho grave-
ynrds and exhuming the coffins in search
of treasures. It is also well known that
he habitually encased himself in armor
in order to protect his obese body from
apprehended danger which existed only
in his perturbo-l mind. A public evidence
was given of this when he essayed to visit
Admiral Farragut on his flagship. On
stepping into the small boat at the levee
his foot slipped and ho fell into the water,
rudely scraping his abdominal parts in
his descent. A breast-plate that he wore
was thus shoved up over his chin, threat
ening to strangle him. and but for the

Texas Democratic State ,Com'entioii.
. Austin, September C.—The following
are the leading points of the platform
adopted by the Democratic State Conven
tion after the usual preliminaries. The
Convention congratulates the people! on
the repeal of many odious and oppressive
aets passed by; the Republican Legisla
ture. They proclaim that when the
Democratic party comes into power, they
will administer the government in the in
terest and for the benefit of the whole peo
ple, and not of party; and however much
they have been provoked to hostile and
retaliatoy measures by outrages com
mitted on them by the Republican Legis-
laturc* and State Government, it will )»•
part of their great mission to rise su
perior to their just resentments
and administer the Government in such
a manner that every citizen, of whatever
politics, religion, nationality r 0£ color,
shall feel that hois really protected ia his
life, liberty and property; that the Dem
ocratic party affirms the past opinions
and policy it lias ever pursued; that it is
the bound en duty of the ..State to main
tain an efficient system of common schools
and ensure the means of securing a com
mon education to every child in the
State. And that every adopted citizen
may enter into the spirit of perfect free
dom aud action in matters of conscience,
the Democracy of Texas declare it
to be their firm conviction that legal
interference with merely social habits
of any class of citizens of native
or foreign birth is contrary to sound
policy, to genuine democracy and the
enlightened spirit of the age. They
favor the calling of a constitutional con
vention by the next Legislature. The
Democracy of Texas adhere to their past
policy of developing tho material wealth
of the State, and of advancing the best
interests of the people by encouraging
the construction of railroads. That to
this end and to encourage the invest
ment of capital in such enterprises.

New York, September G.—There was
a good deal of excitement in Wall street
to-day, both in gold and stocks. It was
reported that the clique for bulling gold
had gone into liquidation, the decline of
yesterday having been construed as an
evidence of it, and the price at one time
during the day fell to 12 7-8c, but after
wards rallied and closed at 13 l-8c. Be
fore noon rumors that the bank state
ments would be more unfavorable than
was expected, were current, and by
the time tho statement came out the ex
citement increased, and there was a rush
to sell stocks. Money also advanced to
seven per cent., gold and commission.
During the excited times of the day
failures were rumored, but the day closed
without • corroboration of them. The
foundation of these, it is said, was that
the gold clique did not provide for car
rying all their gold until after the usual
hour. • From this, it would appear that
the clique had nob succeeded in selling
the gold. Bankers .seem to think that
most of the flurry is over, and that tho
disruption of the gold clique will leave
plain sailing for all during the autumn.
The.day closed with streets full of ru
mors and with market comparatively
quiet.
