Yesterday morning at 8 o'clock the gates of the F air Grounds were opened and a goodly number of ladies, gentle men and children of Albany and sur rounding country assembled on the grounds and in the main building for a day’s enjoyment The occasion ought not to be called a Fair, for it is not a success under such a name.

A spirited mere attached to o light wagon, and driven by a small colored boy, took fright, or got mad, at getting the reins under her tail, Tuesday morning, and dashed off down Wash ington street, between Broad and Pine, at a lively gait, kicking at every jump. The little driver held on man fully and finally brought the animal down, nob however, until she had kicked him on the leg and lodged both her Lind heels in the wagon over the dash board.

No material changes have been made, only slight alterations in phraseology; and after carelul perusal the reader will fiad it the same old Bible hooded down by our fathers. The Bible is too sacred for common place literary criticism in newspapere.and we leave o further dis cussion of the matter, if indeed it needs discussion, to thepolpit. A little fracas between two next- door Broad street clerks drew quite a crowd to the sidewalk under Ibe Xews and Advertiser office Tuesday morn ing. There is nothing that “draws” half so well in Albany as a fight—let the combatants bo man, urchins, dogs •r whatnoL The hostile parties in this instance were promptly separated by friends, however, and most of the eager crowd arrived upon tho scene too lata to bo made happy.

We are no chronic grumbltr, and do not like to picture painful realities, but sometimes wc are forced to do so, as a means of warning. The death rate of farm mules, in -this sectian is really alarming, and w* understand ' that •Western coin as food is what is doing the work. While in Nashville the oth er day we were informed by prominent corn dealers that they would positive ly decline all orders for corn from this section during the summer months, and for this reason: The rery severe winter froze up Western corn aad it is now thawing, and can not withstand the oppressive South ern hoot but rots before reaching its destination. All com is sold with a guarantee for soundness. Hundreds of car loads have thus been lost, and many farmers nave been compelled to buy because they could do no better; have fed the had com to their stock, hence the great loss of mules and horses. The Virginia, Maryland and Tennessee crop has been exhausted, and this class or com alone seems fit for Southern markets. The only remedy we can suggest to that oar planters put in heavily of peas, millet and other like forage crops, to which the late season to saitod.

Bacon, whose skill in crayon drawing and oil paint ing to well known to the people ol this city, and, we might say, to moat of the lovers of the fine arts throughout Georgia, for htr paintings now occupy places of honor in several of the rich est collections of art in the State. Mrs. Bacon is now teaching a class of young ladies, and we saw some of them at work yesterday morning. Miss Ella Baanes was engaged on a large crayon drawing, and had already brought out the features of her subject (a blooming lassie) with a precision and reality that would have done credit to a student of riper years and experience. Misses Bessie Willingham and Sallie-Tiicker were each putting the fiutohing touch es on an oil painting; and we are “drawing it lightly’’ when we say that both of these pictures are beauties, and reflect great credit upon their amateur artists. Either of them would be worthy of a place in the drawing room of any Southern home. We also saw a rich and handsome painting by Mrs. Wallace Bacon, who to a member of the classAut was detained from the studio yesterday morning by indispo sition. Miss Mamie Crow, a bright little miss of not more than tea sum mers, wax off in one comer manipulat ing her pencil on the page of a begin ner’s specimen book, with a deftness which at once indicates that she pos sesses some of tho rat oral talent of her accomplished mother, Mrs. B.

Editor* If etc* and Advertiser: I note in the recommendations of the committee appointed by Council to in vestigate the Fire Department, the statement to made that “we find a lack of thorough co-operation in the Thron- ateeaka Company and a want of har mony between the company and the engineers.” Will the committeo please state for the information of many mem bers of "Thronateeska" what “took of co-operation’’ and “want of harmony” they have discovered, and from what source? On the contrary there to the moat perfect accord, not only among the “members proper,” bat also between the company and engineers, and I ima gine every member was as much sur prised at the statement an myself. With few exceptions we bare a efficient corps of men. I will that tho principal cause of delay of pot ting ia prompt and efficient work at fires to lack of a proper alaim. It to the doty of the Council to supply this, and until it in done a prompt and full tarn out cannot bo expected. For myself, I think there to a mali cious spirit underlying and prompting the action taken in this matter, and would suggest that the least meddle some outsiders have to do with the fire company the better for the department and city generally.

Wo had a beautiful bright moonlight night for this trip through the finest scenery in America. Writers who have enjoyed with eyes for the beautiful even 8witx- erlaod’a landscapes and Italy’s natural loveliness have declared th m incom parable with the rivers, mountains and valleys of the “Lookout Mountain Route” to the West, and we dare not attempt a pen picture of those majestic mountains, fertile Talleys aod winding nrers through which oor elegant train of can so rapidly passed. Many of oar readers hare been chsered by tbe beau ties of this favored scope or country when tired march, bloodshed, and all tho soldiers’ hardships would else where havo driven to dtapair and final exhaustion. Now all to peaco and quiet. Industry has developed, and wealth to enjoying the richness of the lands, the bcanty, health and grandeur of tho surroundings. Nashville to certainly a progressive city, foil of energy, vim and substan tial prosperity We hazard nothing in saying that Nashville is the moat solid of all the Southern cities. Her popu lation and wealth are rapidly increas ing and ahe boasts a population of sixty-odd thousand now. Previous to tbe war it was only about twenty thou sand. Nashville’s growth is not of tbe mushroom kind. The handsome tow ering buildings, educational and charit able institutions, menafactories and railroads, and last, but not least, ber ably conducted press, which baa done so much for her advancement, fairly in dicate the material worth and true greatness of Nashville. In a business point of view, the city to on a general boom. Centrally located in a rich agricultural and mining section, with a complete oet-work of railroads pouring the wealth of ths State into her top, abo needed only tbe energy and deter mination of ber citizens to make ber what tbe to. The Nashville press received their brethren of tbe Georgia press with all tbe warmth and cordiality one could possibly have desired, aod escorted os to the many points of interest in tbs “Bock City,” detailed mention of which would make a book; but we must not omit meotion of the visit to Yaoderbilt University, tbat munificent gift of Vanderbilt. The grounds cover seventy-five seres, all beautifully checked off by walks, shaded, iemced, and altogether orderly. The buildings are massive in size, tasty in architect ure, comfortable in construction and perhaps the finest and most complete school buildings in tho United States. Oar visit to Mrs. James K. Polk, widow of the ex-President, will linger long in our memory as a most tnjoya- ble event. Mrs. Polk to an elegant and accomplished lady, of the old time true aristocratic school, and she received the representatives of the Georgia Press with warm cordiality and most aing grace. She to well preserv ed for one of her age, to a flaeat con versationalist, loves company, and en joys, ia her declining years, all the comforts of a beautiful home, and of thousands of friends throughout the land.
