Eicinosn, Va., October 20.???It lias been al most impossible to get a positive answer as to the visitors to the exposition from York town. The crowd is so enormous and the gathering places so few that no appointments can lie re lied on; this much is assured. Governor Blackburn, of Kentucky, and stair will reach Atlanta on the 20tli. Governor Iloyt, Mr. Jamison, Mr. Hensel And staff will leave Harrisburg for Atlanta Monday evening at four o'clock. Governor Jarvis, of North Carolina, and art a IT, will join the Pennsylvanians at Greens- Jioro. Governor Haygood and staff will go over <??n the 20th.

General Sherman and staff will leave Wash ington for Atlanta on the lOtli of November. The French visitors will return to Washing ton immediately, and will not go south. I did not exactly understand their reply to our invitation, as tlieir French is not .good.

The marching of the troops generally was very fine and excited great interest among the military men, and elicited loud cheers from the multitude. p General Hancock and General Fitz Hugh Lee were both loudly -cheered wherever they appeared, ns a tribute to ???The Blue and the'Gray,??? and in recogni tion of the fact that both arc now marching ^Milder ilie same tlag of a common country.

The military review took place this morn ing, and the column was one hourand twenty minutes passing a given point. General Hancock and staff, rode at the head ???of the line, and when they readied the grand .stand, fell out and took position on the stand with President Arthur, the cabinet and foreign guests, while the column passed. In the review nine thousand and five hundred men were in line. The president was quite ???enthusiastic over the magnificence of the dis play.

F. Jones, of Troup county, Ga. It is to be honed that what Major Jones has so success fully demonstrated will have its effect on tlie farmers of Georgia, and bring about a thor ough reformation in the present system of southern farming. Since the war southern farming has met with no success, for the rea son, too much land has been attempted to lie cultivated, and lias resulted in failure, year after year, to tlie farmers. What is to tlie in terest of our farmers are small farms, diversi fied crops, and make the farms self-sustaining, for making all cotton and haying all our food supplies, lias proven to be the ruin of our farmers, and brought reproach upon our 'farming. 1 have pitffiieii' my 37tti crop, - and never bought a bushel of corn or a pound of meat, except when I moved and 1 (ought com and meat to replace what I sold, buying gen erally one-third of what I sold. Last week I removed 500 bushels of old corn to make room for my new crop; and all the farmers in Georgia can make a full supply of provisions and cotton sufficient to make them richer if they would farm intelligently. Small farms, well prepared, highly manured and thor oughly cultivated???that lias been the success with northern farming, and it will prove equally successful with southern farming. This scratching over a large farm and putting it all in cotton and depending on tlie west for all of our food supplies is ruinous to our farms and farmers. The south will never prosper under such a system of farming, am glad to know that the exposition will proven success and show to the world that we nave a good country, abounding with mate rial wealth of every description.

October 10. 1881.???As an illustration of Amer ican industries, the International cotton ex position is acknowledged on all hands to lie .-second only to the centennial ns an exposi tion in the history of such enterprises on this ???continent. Georgians cannot afford to allow Georgia???s agriculture to be unrepresented when their guests assemble at their own capi tal. Other states have availed themselves of the opportunity of advertising their resources. Ample space awaits tlie opening of the agri cultural and horticultural display on the 25th inst. Mr. William II. Clayton, superintendent of tlic southern express company, has, with the usual liberality shown by his company to wards the tillers of the soil, offered to trans port free of charge any articles sent by farm ers to aid in illustrating the productions of Georgia soil in packages weighing five pounds or less, and two-thirds the regular London, October 19.???The Morning Post says: ???We consider the issue of the manifesto by the Irish land league as a direct incentivi to civil war.???

The signatures to tlic land league manifesto were not actually written by the prisoners, hut virtually appended by their authority. Special dispatch to The Constitution. A Dublin correspondent of the Times say: t is a settled determination of the league to demonstrate that tlie land act is worthless shown by the fact that the test cases they hav selected are almost exclusively those in which tlie rent is the same, and in many cases even lower than Griffith???s valuation. It is not true that Marquis Waterford has applied to the land commissioners to have the rents of two of his tenants raised. It is reported that the Limerick police have received.a number of warrants for tlie arrest of suspects. Mr. Cobb, a leading member of the hoard of guardians of Mountmettich, lias been ar rested and a troop of lancers escorted him to tlie Naas jail. At a meeting of the Carrick branch of the league to-day 1,200 persons were present. Two hundred tradesmen joined the organization. A detachment of hussars with sabres drawn paraded the streets and the shops were closed. Mr. Goddard, member of the Property Defense association, asked the government for protection on account of threatening mobs assembling outside of liis house in Dublin. The house is now guarded by tlie police. ???During the rioting here last night a num ber of passengers in tlie train of ears attacked were wounded. The police captured many prisoners.

The exhibition full and handsome, embracing dis plays from all i>arts. The stock display is the best er seen at any previous fair, especially the run ning and trotting. The trains to-night brought immense crowds and 20,000 people are expected to morrow and Thursday, when Coup???s circus shows inside the grounds free to fair visitors. Thursday all the merchants of Macon will close their stores, colleges and schools will suspend and make it Macon???s day. Captain Bogardus, the champion shot, with his two sons, gave an exhibition to-day. An exciting race on tlie mile track attracted all the visitors. The first running race, for a purse of $250, was won by Monitor, best two in three. Time, 48)4 and 1:49. The trotting, best three in five, for $200, was won by Charlie DerUn. Time, 2:44 on last heat, closely contested with Bonnie Wilkes. Pools are selling lively to-night for the races to morrow. The oflicers of tlie executive committee fully appreciate the kind interest taken by The Constitution, and send thanks and assurances. Every effort will will be made to carry the exhibits the exposition. The weather is most propitious and the citizens are enthusiastic over the success. Macon, October 19.???-There was a large in crease of tlie crowd to-day with prospects of a tremendous gain to-morrow, as tlie circus will draw all tlie country people. No additional entries of any importance were made to-day, but better order prevailed. Tlie large crowd seemed delighted and satisfied, and the citi zens generally are doing all in their power to make their stay pleasant. Tlic fair grounds are alive with people, affording ample shade and retreat for visitors. The races to-day were very exciting, and all the horses did splendidly, with the exception of Joe Bond???s horse, Lee, who came ent be hind in every beat.

The new cabinet appointments engross attention here and speculation concerning them is rife, but very little is known concerning them. The gen eral impression is that the nominations will not be sent to tne senate until Monday, and President Arthur has intimated as much. It is said the re publican senators are as much in the dark as any body else in regard to the cabinet. There seems to be no doubt that ex-Governor Morgan, of New York, has been offered the treasury portfolio, and that he once declined it. He has l>een urged by many to reconsider his declination, but whether he has actually done so yet or not, is not known here outside the president and those in his imme diate confidence. In the treasury department and among its highest officials, it is believed, to-night, that Morgan has consented and will be appointed. Morgan is interested, however, in a firm that im ports sugar, and he would be compelled to abandon that. That Lincoln will remain in the cabinet is generally conceded, but it is said that he will not retain the war department. There is a report that he will be made attorney general. One of the present cabinet is authority for the statement that GeneraM.ongstreet will be a mem ber of the new cabinet. If he goes in, it will be ns secretary of the navy. James will remain at the head of the postoffice department for a time, at least. General Grant arrived here this evening and the secretary of the treasury, and destined for pla ces in the republic of Mexico, may be entered at the custom house and conveyed in transit through the territory of the United States without the payment of duties under suclr regulations as the secretary of the treasury may prescribe. In addition to tlie port of Broowns- ville, Baltimore, Boston, New York, New Orleans and Philadelphia are designated under the above article as ports from which imported merchandise may lie shipped in bond in transit through the United States to Mexico by the routes prescribed from time to time by the department. The circular contains a detailed description of tlic forms which are to be used in compliance with the regulations. Since the 1st of July, more than $20,000,000 in bars manufactured from foreign gold, have been trans ported from the New York assay office to the Phila delphia mint for coinage, which has nearly ex hausted the appropriation for that purpose. As there is now a large amount of gold in tlie the New York assay office, and more arriving almost daily, an additional appropriation will be necessary to meet the cost of its transportation. Director of the mint, Burchard, had to refuse to make the transfer to-day on account of the lack of funds. Pressing orders have been received at Woolwich for wagons and a quantity of stores for the use of the military encampment III Ireland, one-half to be sent to Cork and the other half to Dublin, front which points they will be distributed as required. A jar containing powder was thrown into the house of the manager of laird Erne's estates at Ballingait, county Donegal. The fuse became detached and no explosion occurred. THE CHRISTIANCY. SCANDAL.

Second race, trotting, mile heats, best three in five, $250, won by Bonnie Wilkes. Time 2:47 X A, 2:40)4 and 2:45 in last heat. The fair lias been in session three days, and long enough for the public to bring in a ver dict of success. True the success is not so great as it would have been were it not that the exposition draws like a plaster, and many of our farmers are holding their spare time, as well as spare change, in reserve, so as to at tend it, the Macon fair would have paid the association a handsome return for its trouble and pains. Tlie crowds in attendance are well pleased and express satisfaction. Tlie number of ex hibitions are not large, hut are unus ually attractive and large. The races arc well attended with entries of fine stock and the horsemen claim to have struck the finest track in the entire south. Coup???s circus gives an exhibition to-day in side the grounds, charging only seventy-five cents at tlie gate. The association will net a good sum by this arrangement, as people from all part3 of the country will be -here. I can only give brief mention of the most noticeable dis plays. Each of the departments have repre sentation, and present an attractive appea auee. The State agricultural fair authorities ex cluded Bibb county from competing for the county premium of $309 offered for tlie best agricultural contributions, but offered a pre mium of $150 to be awarded the best militia district in Bibb. Howard district, located be tween the Macon and Western railroad and Macon and Brunswick extension, and lvint on Ocmulgee river, through her widely known ???Ocmulgee farmers??? club,??? organized 50 years ago, is the successful winner of this premium, and her exhibit would do credit to the entire county. Messrs. Robert E. Park, D. S. Boze- mon and W. H. Cason are the club commit tee in charge, and have won much applause by their great success. The first mentioned exhibits six kinds of hay and forage, embracing bales of Bermuda, crab and crow foot grass, fodder and millet. He also shows green, red, ribbon and sorghum sugar cane, besides com, rust-proof wheat, rust-proof oats, potatoes, turnips and divers other grains, fruits and vegetables, are of his own raising.

Giro, for some reason, did not appear when the train arrived, and, after waiting in the depot some time, Goodman went out to find Giro, and came back with him, and they had a conversation, in which Giro said that he wanted to meet her at a certain point, and he took Goodman out to show him the place.

Tlie chancellor granted the motion, ami di rected that the testimony of thc witnesses from a distance be taken before the cross-examina tion of Mrs. Christiancy should be resumed. At 2 o???clock tlie counsel for both sides met at the office of tlie Examiner. Mr. Joseph J.

He told wit ness that she had come home for the purpose of procuring a divorce from her husband, and that, after she succeeded, lie was going to marry her if he could.

Christiancy, and witness saw them after they were in Dr. Blood???s possession. He also identified a re ceipt for them in Giro???s handwriting. After Giro???s relations with Dr. Blood became un friendly, he said lie did not care a about the letters which he had given up, as lie had a friend that could imitate any handwriting, and that the latter could write for him all the letters he wanted. AVhen Giro became convinced that lie could not se cure tlie affections of Mrs. Christiancy, he became very angry and swore he would get even with her, and said that lie had already put up a job on her. AVitness asked him what it was, and lie stated that lie had found a wo man who resembled Airs.
