Mr. Tilden is physically, ail of these visitors hear testimony to the fact that he retains, as does an old flirt, the sem blance of the airs and graces which once propped ail suitors at her feet. While denying himself to them all as a candidate, Mr. Tilden has man aged to pick out of them their real preferences, and to say something to each that sent him away with his mouth pleasantly puckered Somebody forgetful of the wise saw, “never to send a boy to mill,” ran in a callow youth on the old man, in the hope that as children’s ears are said to be pitchers, lie might bring away some thing valuable. The old man toyed and dallied with him on a sofa, whis pered kind things in his cars, and gave the child his picture. “Twelve journals,” it is alleged, im mediately scrambled for the opportun ity of undressing the boy, who swore that the good old man was strong and healthy, and told him something and then swore lie didn’t. Xcxt, a Pennsylvania politician called and enjoyed a tete-a-tete. The ancient flirt was still obdurate. He would not run, but Sam Randall was a good man. Then a Western statesman sent in his card, was received and denied, hut Mc Donald was a good man. The “intelligent gentleman” wKh withholds his name, and who must he akin to the one who always turns up in Atlanta from Southwestern Georgia, at the inception of a State campaign, found Mr. Tilden in about the same fix that helms been for fifty years. Then the great unknown climbed in upon Mr. Tilden, and Mr. Tilden climbed up stairs and called the great unknown up to take a drink of—“good whisky.” The great unknown got what he wanted. Within a week General Gordon has stormed the battlements of Greystonc castle. Ttie old baron declined to come out on challenge of the fierce confederate, hnt said Payne was the man. Gen. Gordon lind been running a Payne boom, if the r.ewspa I "southern Sympathy. Some foolish things were spoken ami done during the progress of the Cincinnati riot. A dispatch from Richmond informed the country, that the riot had “attracted widespread attention in the South. Expressions of sympathy for the Cin cinnati people are heard on ail sides. There have been some criticisms of the conduct of some of the Ohio military, especially by old Confederate veterans, both soldiers and officers. Offers of assistance, if it was needed, were ready to be proffered the Ohio authorities at any moment by the Virginia military.” We are glad that such offers of mil itary assistance were not made. If they had been made, they would of course have been declined. But suppose the offers had been made and accepted, and a Southern regiment had made its appearance on the streets of Cincinnati, the fury of the mob would have been intensified, and the horrors of the riot would have been increased ten fold. The Southern men, we feel sure, would have be haved themselves modestly and cour ageously. But a Northern city is no place for Southern troops when a mob is aoroad. Leave the people beyond the Ohio and the Potomac to settle their own local troubles. They are abundantly able to do it, and the pres ence of Southern military organisations would only add fury to the flames. It will he time for Southern soldiers to shoulder their muskets and march to the North, when a foreign foe is to lie encountered. Should thyt occasion ever arise, they will demean them selves like brave men, and return only when the battle has been non. The present State house officers will all probably be re-elected, except Treasurer Speer, who declines to run again. There will be a sharp contest for that office, the most important in some respects in the gift of the people. In the second, seventh, eighth and ninth Congressional district, tho pres ent Representatives will, it is thought, have no deposition, while it is probable that there will he contests in tho first, third and tenth. In the fourth, fifth and gixtli districts, exciting races may be expected. In tho fifth, where Captain Jackson is contesting tho district with Mr. Hammond, an exciting canvass has already been inaugurated. Judge .Stewart is supposed to lie conducting a still limit from the bench, intending to openly enter the race if Captain Jack- son secures the delegation from Ful ton. And within tho last two days the name of Mr. Mynatt lias been an nounced. It is now generally believed there will be a lively tussle in the Sixtii dis trict. There has been no formal an nouncement of Colonel Hardeman’s candidacy, but every one seems to think lie will Bhy his castor into tho ring sooner or later. Letters^ are said to he pouring in upon him ask ing him to allow the use of his name. Many seem to entertain the opinion that Mr. Blount will not be acandidate, if Col. Hardeman con sents to run, and parties are said to be offering bets already that Hardeman will he the next representative from this district. As to the Legislature, the woods are just full of candidates. We are rejoiced at this. Out of so many patriots, the people ought to be able to select enough good men to represent them in the General Assembly. Sim Culture* We present this morning an inter view with Mr. Ryle, of Paterson, X. J., the oldest silk manufacturer in the United States, a protectionist and Democrat. Mr. Ryle is of course an enthusiast upon his line of business, having spent sixty years of his life in the manufac ture of silk. His opinion as to the silk culturo in tho South is very clear and interesting, and ho very satisfactorily explains tho causes under which it has hitherto lagged. Xowtimt tho matter is revived and considerable interest man ifested over Bilk culture in Georgia, it will be well for the people to read and consider tho words of a veteran in the silk business. We can see no reason why the Southern States should nqt become the great silk-producing country of the world. Here istiieclimate of all others for tho business, lands cheap and adapted for tlie cultivation of food for the silk-worm, and a population ready for employment. All the necessary conditions are favorable, and not one circumstance, other than ignorance of methods, exists to operate against tlie opening up of the industry.

Something more, we may say a great deal more, must ho done to make the fair a success. It is to be hoped that tlie Agricultural Society and the people are prepared to join hands in securing this result. Tlie Agricultural Society has been steadily declining in popular confi dence and respect. It is not proposed to make a minute examination into tlie causes for this.

It was organized in 1801, left Macon for 8a- vannali under the command of Captain Leroy Napier, Jr., January, 29th, 1802,and was attached to Walker’s brigade.

The growth of Florida during thc last six years has been unprecedented and by tlie growth wc mean not oniy tlie actual increase of population and improvements, hut tlie growth of val ues. It would not be an exaggeration to assert tliat tlio average valno of land throughout tlie State has within six years increased live hundred per cent, In improved lands the average value has increased probably more than one thousand |icr cent. These tempting figures have thrown into that State thousands of settlers, and led thous ands ot people in Georgia and Alabama to invest there in real estate. Tlie boom still continues and will be likely to continue as is easily demonstrated by the following show ing: -The great industry of F'loridn is, nf course, the orange culture. The fabu lous sums acquired there in the orange business have tempted the wholo ad venturous element of tlio country, and wherever land fit for tlie cultivation of tlie orange lias been offered for sale, the owner has licen able to secure, almost always, ids own figures. While other great inducement* have helped build upthepreeent prosperity, tlie fact admitted that it rest* mainly upon tlio orange. Tlie greatest possible blow tliat could be struck at tlie State’s wel fare, would he an over-production the orange. This possibility lias licen urged for years by the timid. Will an over-production occur? Not soon, Thc reader will be surprised to learn that tlie demand for the fruit is now great, that lost year, on top'of Florida' largest orange crop, there were 130 car goes of Mediterranean oranges brought into New York by steamships, and twenty-fonr cargoes by sailing vessels, These comprised 280,802,180 oranges on inerrate over tlie preceding year 104,011 boxes, or 30,501,870 oranges. In addition to these, there went into tire same port from too West Indies, Central and South America 33,150,303 oranges, an increase over toe preced ing year ol 1,980,770. It may lie said that of all Florida fruits the increase of importation was marked.
