Hardeman, who, in Addition to being a veteran soldier, is one of Georgia's most eloquent and honored Cd. Hardeman was greeted with ap plause as he arose. The following is his ADDRK&J 0? WKI/'OM*: “Nearly twenty years ago your last as* aembly was beat and your last regimental roll (ill was responded to before you grounded arms, furled Vour banners and inrrendered with Johnston’s army to supe rior numbers in -.the Old North State.

None of us who engaged in this conflict sought the destruction of the consti tution. It was to restore 11 according to the compact. Vandal handahad been laid upon this in strument. snd they sought to emasculate it of those wise and conservative principles which gave equality to the States and SICUB1TY AGAINST IVHO.VO. We loved the Union, but the Union made the constitution. "Governor Towns did a else thing when the State’s contribution wav made to the Washington monument. The Georgia atone had this inscription: ‘The Union as It'was; the constitution as it is.’ This stone was set at naught by the build ers,..but is destined to become the chief stone ot the building. Our sacrifice was great and the loises irreparable, hut time will demonstrate that all this blood was not shed In vain. Go search history for its teachings, and you will learn that good has always resulted from revolutions, however bloody they may have been. "Itnas been said that the blood of the martyrs was the seed of the church. I ver ily believe that time will show that this revolution has been tbe means of attach ing our people of all sections more closely to the constitution as it was. Already we hear the rumbling of the chariot wheels. Uur constitution, for which we fought and bled, will he the settled construction of all parties and States. “I look around me and seeastriking con trast. Before me hangs our battle flag.

"On the other side hangs the stars and stripes, once the emblem of oppresiion, but now the flag of a restored union. “We congratulate ourselves that this welcome comes, not only from the citizens of Macon, but her generous hospitality Is voiced by you, sir, yourself a veteran In a noble cause, and who has added to your gallantry as a soldier the eloquence of the orator and the wisdom of the statesman. "In behall of the surviving comrades, behalf of these mutilated and scarred vet erans, in behalf of the honored dead of this command who sleep their last sleep and AT COOSA WHATcniK, snd thus met bis fate, only us n brave man can. Tears of sympathy will fill your eyes to day as you recall tlio’heroic action of that distinguished soldier, that brave and 'gallant Lieut.

"Take it; and us Incomlnij time your sons shall look upon it, may it be to them an Incentive to noble and heroic action. Teach vour children to love whet the col on of that old banner symbolise, and the liberties of this republic will be perpetu.. ated. Tell them that under its starry folds thousands ot the bravest and best of your comrades have fallen.

He made an lntereatlng speech of a few minutes, duration, in which he expreased hit pleasure at meeting face to face alter twenty years the soldiers he had once before met under entirelr differ ent circumstances. He fought again the battle of Ooosawhatchle, near Savannah, at which battle the regiment lost Ui colon. He recalled by incident every poeitloa of the Filth Georgia and hie own regiment, ana as he spoke the vet erans paid the utmoat attention and seemed to follow Captain Young over the sedge field, down the white road,- into the deep ditch, back into tbe field again, and then Into the swamp. Then as he paid oiowno rnisirrea to the men who held the flag aloft and kept it waving In the December morning, in epite of the tact that man after man was shot down »nd yet never al lowed the colors to touch the ground, to quickly did the breve rebel* spring to it, the veteran* llred over again (be battle, and for the time being were Confederate soldiers and members of Use Fifth again. Alter reviewing tbe fight, which took place In Decern be,, 1561, Cept, Yonng un wrapped the bundle and displayed the bat tle tlsg of tbe Fifth Georgia. It was the lint tune the veterans had looked upon it since that December morning, and a sight ol It again nnlocked TALISMAN or VICTimY. “Standing here to-day under the genial sunlight of peace, prire as the air we breathe, soldiers who wore the gray and soldiers who wore the bine, let us pledge ourseltes to stand faithfally by the dear old starry banner that to-day floats so peacefully and triumphantly over onr now reunited country. Let us teach our chil dren to love the old flag. Tell them, ‘That the star flowering banner most never lie furled, for its blossoms of light are the hope of the world.’ "Nearly twenty years have come and ¥ one, old veterans, since yon and I met. o most of ns they have been years of toil snd pain, snd as I look into your faces, I can plainly see that time has I.EKT ITS riXSIB MARKS upon your brow*. Many who twenty years ago stood up manfully and erect are now bo wed down with the weight of years and infirmities of old age. But a few more years will you be permitted to gather at this reunion. Some of yoa will have met for the last time. Soon your eyes will have rested for the last time on this old flag you so nobly de fended. Soon, one and all of us will be mustered out ot life’s great service and called to Join onr dear comrades who have preceded us. Let us then, fellow soldiers, preserve the kindliest feelings towards each other; let us cherish the virtues that bind us together. Let os never, never for get that the same noble and manly quali ties that made us valiant and true in war, fit and qualify ns for all the responsibili ties of civil life. And may we nil be per mitted, In the golden hereafter, to strike bands with onr dear comrades who so nobly yielded up their lives for home and country, in that land where the long roll of war is never heard and where peace eternally abides.” A TdCCHINO sc ext Daring the delivery of Captain Young's address the veterans stood with moistened eyelids. 8ome of them bowed their beads andcried as children over the painful mem ories awakened bv the sight of the old flag. Nor was this feeling confined to the sol diers. In the audience, which was largely composed of ladles, were several old ladies, who wept perhaps as they thought of sons or husbands lost to them upon the field of war. The scene was affecting, and when Jndge Klddoo received the flag he was so over tome by his feelings that he could only express his thanks for the high compli ments paid to the bravery of the men of the regiment, and for the return of the There were ninny old soldiers In the audience, and they left the hall with pano ramas of the dark scenes of tbe war pass ing In quick succession before their vision.

An Invitation was extended to the Fifty- sixth Now York Regiment to be present on that occasion. Resolutions of thanks were extended to the Volunteer Rifles and Cadets tor the courtesies shown. The meeting then ad journed. In the afternoon the veterans met, and with Mayor Corpnt and the board of alderman, were driven over tho city. On their return to the hall, they fonnd a bowl of punch, sneb ns Capt. Tom Mas senburg alone, know* how to brew, and many were the toasts drank. a rxw sores. Chaplain R. R. Lester opened the meet ing with a beautiful and appropriate pray- WASHINGTON COUNTV. Meeting of the Executive Con r-.ittee to Arrange Details. j The fair committee met yesterday in Secretary Grier's office to arrange the de tails of tbe coming fair. There were pres ent : President Livingston. Secretary Grier, Superintendent Hatcher, Treasurer I’owcll, Dr. Carey,*Dr. Jonea, Judge Holt and Col. Geo. W. Adams. In the morn ing session Mayor Corput and a delegation from the city council were present and their oo-operation asked. Mr. Ilobt. A. Niebet asked the commit tee to set aside a day daring tbe fair for the several young farmers' clubs of the South Tuesday of fair week was devoted to this purpose and all such clubs throughout the South are requested to aend delega tions and displays. On this day Hon. Thomas Hendricks, Democratic nomi'nee for Vice-President. Is expected to be present and deliver an address. Wednesday night of fair week is set apart lor the ORAND PYnOTXCHXIC DS3PLAY to bp made by tbe Floyd Rifles. This company have contracted with tbe largest fire works establishment in the United States lor tho pyrotechnics, and the dis play will be the finest ever seen In this country. Mr. Nlsbet said the display of Jersey cattle, which would include specimens from the herds of Wade ot Atlanta, Hodg son of Athens, Hill of Atlanta, Branch of Covington, and Hunt and DeJarnette of Eatonton, would ho one of the grandest sights that the average farmer would care to see. " Now that there is a rapidly growing demand for Jerseys, Guernseys, Holsteins and Al- dcroeye, farmers are more than ever inter ested in these fancy but Aumix cows, and for this epasoc extra efforts would be made by the society to bring together a great number, and owners of herds have already sigoifled their intention of making large displays. While on this line the committee gave instructions to have built stock gaps at the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia and Central railroads near the park for the ac commodation of stock taken from tho cart. By this means there will be no danger to the prized cattle while unloading. The gaps will be so arranged that the cattle can be easily transferred from the cars to the grounds. The flag borne aloft by Sergt. Joe Eth eridge. whs was tbe color bearer ol the regiment during the war. waa presented to the regiment at Missionary Ridge b; Mrs. Gen. J. K. Jaccson.of Augusta. After the war It waa given to Mrs. Jackson, who kept it until tbe reunion at Anguita last year, when ■lie returned it to the regiment. Telegrams were received from several old soldiers who were prevented from being present. Capt. 8. W. Mangham, of Griffin, and Capt. U M. Bnmu, of Colum bus. sent letters of regret, and naked to be kindly remembered. •Mitt Augusta Plant sent a beautiful bou quet of bower* to the Clinch Rifle*. At none of tho company was present, the flower* were distributed among tbe vet- an*. A photograph wu taken of the furriT- ore. In the hall. Mrs. T. W. Mangham tent a handsome beeket of tlowen to Major Analey, who took great pride In giving it a oonaptrious position on the stage. Private Ed.

Among the relics captured by tbe Fifth Georgia 1* a silver cornet, which was taken from a tent of Wilson's Zouaves at Santa Rosa by Mr. D. B. Jones, who keeps it as a relic of the long ego, A MILITARY POST. The subject of fair ground privileges was then taken up, and it was finally decided to pass npon sealed bids for the VARIOUS PRIVILEGES on September 20th. Several applications have already been made, bat this plan was thought best by tbe committee. Parties interested will take due notice accordingly. In a few days the passenger and freight agents of the several railroads throughout the State will hold a convention, at which time the rates of fare and freight will be fixed. The committee have the assurance of those in positions to know, that the rail road companies wUl make great redactions for the society- The committeemen are enthusiastic over the prospects for n big fari. Secre tary Grier has received a pile ot letters which indicate that eo far as displays are concerned, especially those of AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS, which will be tne largest and most com plete over exhibited m tho Sonth, thero will bepnffleiont to fill all tbe buildings on the ground, and thus form a world of at tractions. The bulk of these will ot course be transferred to the New Orleans exposi tion. Among the exhibits mentioned are stock from Burke county, cattle from Putnam, field crops from Talbot, and a very large display of fruit and field crops from Bibb, Monroe and Pike. The poultry show will be extra large. Colonel C. O. Wilson, of Milledgevilie, and Editor Mumtord, of Talbottou, will have fine displays of the finer strains of chick ens, including Die popular Plymouth Rock. So large will be their display in this department that a cOMsitmt or txrxsTS from some of the largest poultry yards of the North wilt be present to act In con junction with the local judges. Dr. If. If. Carey, who will remain in Macon a day or so longer, la greatly en couraged nt the prospect of big and hand some displays in the needlework depart ment, of which he Is at the bead. The In dies throughout the State wilt contribute most beautiful specimens of their taste and tMll. The committee have received informa tion that many farmere'|elubi of Alabama and other adjoining States will participate, and that make an Inter-State display of products, eta THI OROUNDS, A Cig Barbecue Dinner and a Splendid Showing. The farmers of Washington county met at Sun Hill in Washington county yester day for an annual meeting of the Grange and a general handshaking and big dinner frolic. Hon. Tbbiuas Hardeman was present from Macon, and with many oth ers made a short but good speech. Oneof the interesting features of the day was the report of a committee appointed by the Grange to make an inspection of the lands in Washington county. The report makes such a good showing that we giro it room: “The following is a consolidated report of tbe various committees appointed by our worthy master to inspect the crops of 111" lll"Ill! T- nt t.'ir < i ' .1 • 1 !;♦• We llll<l acres planted in cotton, of which 301 acres will make a bale to 1>{ acres, 1,180 acres will make a bale to 2 acres. 980 acres will make a bale to acres, 742 acres will make a bale to 3 acres, 300 acres will make a bale to 3>4 acres, 184 acres will make a bale to 4 acres, an average of 2K acres to the bale. “We find 2.488 acres planted in corn, at an average ot about 10\i bushels per acre. “The various committees did not report the number of acres planted in wheat and oats, home reported the.nnmber of bush els, which showed an average of 5J4 for wheat and 15 bushels for oats. “Home of the committees report oats poor, caused from poor stand. “Two-thirds of the reports show field -peas to be good and one-third fine. “Three-fourths of the reports show sweet potatoes to be good and one-fourth poor. “Groundpeas generally good. “Stock reported good and a fine prospect fdr meat another year. “We are glad to be able to state that more attention is being paid to raising compost manure j, and it seems to be the wish and desire of members to rfeiuce their expenses in the way of commercial manures. In some instances the reports showed fine results from the use of Fur man’s formula, and other instances where part of tbe field was broken with two-horse plows and part with one-horse plows, quite a difference in the cotton in favor of two- horse plows with the same manuring and work. » “The territory inspected suffered to some extent by continued wet weather iu Juno and dry weadier in July and Au gust, and some parts quite severe by drouth from the early part of July up to tbe time of inspection, which was made from the 11th to the 18th of August, instant." What Shall W« Do with Our Boys.' This is more rendi.y asked tl: torily answered. All our boy men, with few exception*, a*e now com pelled to wort to make a support. Few parents now can afford to educate their sons and put them in business with means adequate to support thorn. With all the hdvantages of education, few are fitted for th* practicil duties of life. There Is no lack of head culture in our schools. The 6cked professions show that; but tbe practical education that fits a young man to become one of the workers in the various callings of artisan man ufacture— machinist, miner or mechanic— is wholly neglected. Thousands of men go out from echool each year, who have taken the full course ami are regarded as scholars, who knowinot what to do to earn their daily bread. Many farmer boysmnd others, too, graduate at our oolleges%hi • >njUL'iit*- tnf or «i* « lin ■ /» » / w im cun- not calculote the speed ofjthe “old man’s" gin or tlii'* -her. Many young men enter college, spend foui years, then graduate, and then enter a store as a clerk at a salary barely suffi cient to clothe them; and it is three or four years before they are advanced and receive a salary commensurate with their services. Our education is too theoretical, and the consequence is when wo need skilled labor we have to get it from those countries that foster and make large ap propriations for technical education. This, then, brings mo to my subject. What shall we do with our boys? Edu cate them in head, heart and hand. As we have said before, the head culture, and with it the moral culture, of our boys is not wanting What we heed, what Geo:- gia needs, what Macon needs, is a school or schools of practical training. Let us have a school where a yonng man, when ho has finished his course, can go forth prepared and feel with “My own right arm, with my knowledge and what practical experience I have had, I can get remunerative em ployment in workshop, factory, mill or Hope on, Hope Ever.

The prime consideration is health, and a consultation with the sta tistics carefully kept and compiled by the board of health, shows that Macon has fewer deaths in comparison with other Georgia cities, end thtt its health la Getter than, any other city of its size and popu'ation in the Sooth. It in sufficiently Isr removed from tbe sea coast to avoid any danger from yellow fever, and the malarial districts are several miles below. It* railroad mb Is complete, and the lines radiate In every eection. Its water, alwayi open to adalysL.. la the purest that can be fonnd. and she has, in addition to these advantages, the requisite imoant of land within a mile of the city line. This land Is In tbe direction of Wind,or Hill, snd in addition to an al titude that idooe should commend it, it has now, without any preparation, oneof tiie finest and tuuil level drill grounds to be found anvwtwvi* it !> the dee.re of onr citizens that Ma n -i latin-prop' riy s.-t forth should be forwarded at once.to t'ra H. cretary of War an.l advocated by oar Congressmen. The establishment of the post at Macon Is one of great advantage, as it would draw its main stores from the city, and the building of the btrnejta would bring here an army of mechanics.

Steps will be taken also to i ecu re a low rete of hack fare during tbe week. The matter of amniementa lias been left tothe president, secretary and superinten dent. They hare already agreed to have baseball games betwsen the crack clubs ot the State, arranging for a game each day.

Owing to tbe fact that Mr. R. J. Fowell has been elected treasurer of the society, tbe department of One arts wu given to Captain R. K. Park, who will gtte the de partment special attention. The committee adopted the following resolutions: "Wnewus, The Georgia State Agricnl- tnral Society hare undertaken to boi l a faff in the city of Macon, beginning on Oc tober 27, which in detail and ip the aggre gate shall eclipse all former State fain and which aball worthily illustrate the State of Georgia, not only at home out at tbe New Orleans_ Exposition, to which place it it . .. . ^ A Frt&htfut Affair at Lumber Cltr Yester dav Morning. A telegram was received in Macon yesterday morning announcing the killing of Mr. A. V. Raleigh, better known as Gus” Raleigh, conductor on a freight train of the Macon and Brunswick rail rc ai.and weU known in Macon as areilroad man. The particulars in the telegram were very indefinite and gaye rise to a number of exaggerated stories. A later telegram stated that tbs remains would reach Macon late in tbs night. Yardmsster Flournoy telegraphed at once for Mr. Walter Raleigh, a brother, living in Enfanla. On the arrival of the (rain last night about 11 o'clock, onr reporter obtained tbe following facts: The train of which Mr. Raleigh was con ductor was on its way to Macon, and was due at Lumber City nt 10:13 yesterday morning: At that point it was necotsary to drill some ot the cars to be left there and the engine took off the oars and ran upon n sldo track, which is about ball s mile of town. Ancgronamod Eli Taylor, who has been -wharfman an i freight ho.use band for many years, disputed with Conductor Raleigh os to the twitch, the ne gro insisting upon setting it for tbe track lie wanted tiie cars to be rnn on. Seeing that tbe negro was determined to set the switch according to bis own way, tho conductor jam] tbe cnelne and set Die switch. Some words followed. In which the negro was very saner and Impudent. The condne- tor then picked up a small stick nnd ad vanced toward Eli, who picked npla light- wood knot and dealt tbe conductor a terrific blow on the forehead. This blow knocked the con ductor down, hie head falling upon tbe track almost immediately under the wheels of tbe car. which was being pushed by tbe engine. In a second the wheels were over the head ol tbe stunned man, causing in atant death. Engineer Tom Tubbcvllle stopped the engine nnd jumped to the ground, and was eo horror stricken at the specta cle that be could scarcely walk. As toon as he recovered himself be began a race after the negro, who immediately took to tbeewemp. Several raft bands joined in tbe chess, bat Ell had considerable atari and made good his escape. The news wat soon carried frem station to station along the line ot the road, and when it reached Eaetman a lot of doge be. longing <o a sawmill there were pieced on a train and taken to Lumber C.ty and put upon tbe track of the fleeing negro. The remains of the dead conductor were then placed on the train and the condne- tor of a gravel train brought the freight train to Bullards,where It was turned over to Mr.Tom Hall,who brought it to Muon. The train was met hv Ur. D. A Keating, tif Clay’s cstab'i-hment. and where the mucins were conveyed and dressed for burial. Mr. Italeigh wss for a long Ume on tbe Southwestern railroad, and for the past year has been on tiie Macon and Bruns wick. He was rated ae e safe and first- class conductor, and had friendi by tbe •core.

They are like t "thrice-told tale,” too well known. The necessity of such a school must be apparent to nil. Since tiie war Georgia has made rapid strides in manufacturing, look at the increased number of cotton factories; see the oil mills at work and being erected; see the electr cal machines; seethe ice factories; see the increased number of miles of railroad. Look at the number of stamp and smelt ing mills to get the precious metals that lie in her mils. See the number of saw mills with all their machinery at work. Travel through the country am 1 consult the engine manufacturers and see and learn the number of small engines being sold nnd put up. All of these need educated and trained, intelligent men to run them. Parents are looking forward to such -I’houls, tiie hoys are wanting t.i go l.i -u !. schools. As proof of what we say we heard the foreman of one of tiie shops in Macon -ay lie hail applications on his list of eighteen boys who wished to lcurn the machinist's trade. All the shops in Ma- c m are daUy, we might say, asked by pa rents or hoys to get a place. The railroad shops are besieged by men and boys who wish to learn the trade, and many of them from the very best families. Heretofore mechanics, machinists and artisans have been looked down npon, ns it were, and tbosc- professions or trades have not been tougbt after by the best men. Before tiie war all boys who wished to learn a trade were "bound" an apprentices, and few Southern parents would not allow their ,m i" Ii" n|.;oi-'iti. "tl. With the results of tiie war, that lias changed, and now wo hear of no boys be ing "bound.” Every avocation is raised or lowered by the men engaged In it It can be mtde honorable or not. and tho day lj not far distant when It will be tbe boast of onr young men “l am a me chanic.’' It may not be amiss here, to give two illnstrations in regard to what we have written, to show tho necessity of these -chool*.

Information was received yesterday of an accidental shooting on Mrs. John HofiTa place in the Rutland district, in which a negro named Stephney William! lost his life. From the meagre particulars atbsnd, it seems that two negroes w» re in a water- melon patch. One ol them, Williams, had a gun, over the muzzle of which they broke the melons. In some sort of wrangle over the gun it wai discharged, the contents lodging in WilHaaa'j face. home parties came in yesterday for the coroner, but as he was absent the inquest was held by the jasticc of the peace of Rutland dfstrict. dootor.i Last year, when onr able Representatiye . K. Harris, introduced in our legisla ture a bill to establish a school of tecbnolo- y, and a committee of the Legislature went orth and reported favorably on the work ing of the achoals, my fond hope.*, ray ex pectation* went out that ere another year we would see established in Georgia a school where our boys and young men could go and secure not only head anil moral culture, but hand training, to fit them to take charge of the many industries established and being established in our State. How my hopes and ex pectations /ailed is to be read (n the action of the Legislature, and seen in several of our Macon boy a in the North attending such schools and more than thirty boya asking to be taken into our shorn to learn the trade, and w* must Walt and see our shops and factories, our mills and mlnee superintended by foreign or Northern men. Lst us return onr able Representative, conscious he is right: let him go there to battle for our boys—the hope of our State and country, and if he falls, let the citizens of Macon, as they bare done in several other places, start a school to train these thirty or more boys <n tho^e callings that they may choose and for,which they may be fitted.
