The darkey is the problem wherever he goes—the unsolved problem. “Put em In a carriage," said I, “and aend em to a colored hotel.” well they did so, and it was all right and agreeable. I looked round for my old friend, Colonel Foiter, the member from Floyd—the horny handed farmer, the hard working man—tho old eoldler who never broke down or wilted in the war and went to digging as eoon as it was over; who takes life as he finds it and never complains. “Where is Foster?" said I. but nobody seemed to know. He was with ’em theysald in the car and got on when they did. Mr. Jones, of Bartow, came to me and whispered as a great secret that the colonel was all right and would be on hand In a few minutes;thst the colonel was a man of habits, fixed habits; that he never could eat his breakfast until he had called hogs; that he had just stepped over the cor relation Hue to call hogs, and te heard him calling ’em n little while ago. And sure enough the colonel came up di- rec'ly pulling and blowing, and got in the omnibus ana told the driver to roll on his cart for he was powerful hungry.

That part of town in which It Is now spreading Is composed of email frame etiucluroa. lucre la no telling where It will stop. The elevator contained wneat and oats to the amount of 30,000 bushels, all of which was de etroyed. There Is also probably 4.000 bales of cotton consumed thus far.

Judge Uutchlax, of Uie Northeastern circuit, bM set the hearing of the caio of the Northeastern rail road for the llth. At that time the question of the appointment of a permanent receiver will be considered. The case bo heard In LawrenceviUe, but it is probable that the hearing will be in Atlanta as a moro convenient point to all parties concerned. The road is now under tbo temporary receivership of Mr. Hull, who was appolnua at tbo instance of parties holding Judgments for damages for personal injuries, one for 86 MO and the other for 81.000. The state is interested In the developments In the case in this a* indorser on the issue of f Xo.OCQ first mortgage bonds. Governor McDaniel and Attorney- General Anderson, as soon as the temporary receiver was appointed, looked into the matter to see wbat steps might be nece«sarjr to a full protection of the state’s rights. Yesterday there was a meeting In the attorney- general's office in whl> h this question was consid ered. There were preoem Governor McDaniel, At torney-General Anderson, Messrs. Morse and Reed who are trustees for the bondholders. Mr. George Thomas, attorney of the road, ex Senator Pope Barrow and Jndge Alex Erwin, who represent crea tors of the road. ... . . As yet there hts been no default to the state, tbe power c. , . way and the meeting yesterday was merely to con sider wbat steps would probably be necessary to protect the state. It seems very probable that tbe temporary receiver will be made perma nent at the hearing on tho llth and expreaslona of counsel at the consultation yesterday Indicated that ample security would be given tor the payment to the sute of the interest due on the 826J,000 of bonds, held by it.

I am glad that so many are going there for 1 waa told that the visitors average twenty-five thousand a day. Circureca are (rood for fun and county fairs for frolic, but these exposi tions are developers of ideas, stimulants of ' ’ ’ ' g instruction that does not weary or tire. I wish everybody and every- body’s chiklen could go. They have their days far states anti editors and legisla tures and committees receive them and do them honor, but 1 could not help wishing there was a poor man’s day and the pour man was able to go. Itallroad fare is cheap, cheap enough, only a cent a mile; but tbe greatest trouble that 1 observed was in finding a place to stay when you got there. Three hotels shook their heads at me sorrowfully when 1 asked fur quarters, and at last I hunted up a kiosntuu whom I knew was already crowded, aud be I ;Iadly took me in. A Home boy he was who fought through tbe war fur patriotism and confederate money, and then gut a clerk's place in Louisville and worked his way up, and is now a partner iu a house selling three millions ol dry goods iu a year. Kinfolks are a mighty good thing, especially when you find 'em rich and you are afar oil from home. I left that night for home, and for fear of not getting a berth with Mr. i'ulltuan I went down to the depot at ten o'clock though the train was not to leave until twelve. I was too late, far the berths were all taken. The little old dirty geatlemau’a room (that is to say the dirty little room for gentlemen,) wu crowded, not a spare seat lefr, so I stepped into a car and reclined my bead upon my valise, and was beginning to ruminate when a white- capped fellow came in and ordered me out and locked tbe door and said that passengers would not be admitted in the cars until twelve iMpck. ' I poked aroand the miserable old bon of a depot, and finding no place took an humble seat on the platform of another car and began to ruminate again. Directly the same wbite-cap came along and said that platforms were not made to set on, and asked me where I going, and I respectfully informed him that it was none of bis holiness. The minutes seemed mighty long, but in due time tbe door wss opened end I got a seat and we all bad to doable, and a big fat man doubled with me, and the train moved off with a hitch and a jerk, and at every ita- lr Mcetlnir Ye*(crd«7~!a*pcctl«ii of tho l.ot -Ad\ vertUtmcnU f*r Plan* aad for Mum.

CoLi-Mr.cs, October 5.—Some time since Ish- bant Banks, a desperado negro, burglarized a store in Florence, nnd was arrested. While being carried to jail at Luntpkln, he broke loose from the sheriff, and mode good his es cape. He haa been in Chattahoochee county for aorne time, and hearing of his wherea- bouts Sheriff Griffis sent a warrant for his ar rest to Sheriff Ilarpc, of that county. As the negro had made frequent boasts that he would not be arrested again, yesterday Sher iff Harpo summoned a posse and surround ed him. Ishum apparently yielded to the inevitable, but as the sheriff started to pat tho handcuffs on him ho brake for liberty. About a dozen shots were fired at him as he ran, Several of which took eAcct, bringing him down. He is pretty well filled up with birdsbot, but It is not thought his injuries are fatal. Aaron Kelly killed another negro named Freeman, on Mr. Jamas Wright's place on Hog Island, in Bussell county, Alabama. They both loved the same dusky damsel, and had been quarrelling all day. In tbe even ing Freeman attacked Kelly, when tbe latter cut him. The knife entered at tbe burr of the left esr, passed diagonally and down ward across the throat to the collar bone on tlie right side, entting through tbe neck to tbe spinal column. Kelly gave himself up, nnd the coroner’s jury returned a verdict of manslaughter. Talladioa, October 0. — Two men hailing from north Alabama, under the names of Henry Brooks and John Idee, were arrested for stealing mules in Cullman coun ty. They were placed In jail but no owners for tho males being found, were tried for carry concealed weapons, and sentenced to six months labor for tbe oounty. After sen tence they confessed thoy had murdered a man and burned Ills residence in Jackson county, Ala. They were sent to 1‘ratt mines to-day to work out their fine, but escaped on tho way. Savaknaii, October .3 —This morning a man named Branch, recently hero from Charles ton, hod a dispute with U. McA. Schley, at the railroad wharf, in regard to loading a ves sel. Schley, incensed at the abuse, struck Branch, who'sprung on him, got his head in chancery, and bit his left car off entirely.and laturo were rejoiced to find tho committee of A^resenwh^ot is 1.1 feo^o^Mitchcll reception in good spirits and lmpedEM tho association of distillers would bo so too, anti more-abundantly.

Well, they adjourned in duo time, mid marched away somewhere, with the colored brethren in thu rear, and I saw them no mure for I had business elsewhere. Tito night be fore their arrival I visited the grand exposi tion, and was delighted with tite wonderful show. In sortie res poets it fell short of the Atlanta exposition, but it was more extensive ami better arranged. They had more room for display; they had more works of fine art, more costly paintings and statuary. Tito art gallery was magnificent, and tliu music of Gilmore's bund the fin est I over heard. It was rich enough, I would hay that bamland make them play me to sleep every night. They played a medley of the national airs of all countries and wound tip on Dixie with variations which lifted us r. beds all up a few incites higher nnd 'ex panded our swelling bosoms and exalted our Mtutie rn pride. TUo exposition is located in strecl, while tho opposite lino on Hunter street Is only 230.

It apjiears that tbe talent among tbe counterfeiters has been tnrned away from tbe paper issues, and that to-day there exists a counterfeit of the Bland silver dollar tbit surpaaMs anything ever before accomplished in the debasement of the currency. These counterfeits were discovered over tlx months ■go. but no trace nor clue of where they are made, bow many have been put upon the market, nor where they are put into general circulation has ever been brand. They are taken by all the hanks, and defy tbe ordinary teste of experts. These coins were first discovered in tbe sab- treasury at Hew York, and in a peculiar way. One of the coin counters has a keen musical esr. In counting a roil of Oliver dollars he turned them down upon a table in front of hint as be counted. The ring of one attract ed his attention. Its note was one half higher tbau the regulation ring of tbe genu ine dollar. He took up tbe coin and exam ined it carefully. There was nothing in its general appearance to indicate tbe ollgbleet suspicion. Tbe weight was correct Then he tested tbe susjiect with acid. It stood tbe test The fellow clerks o', tbe expert were satisfied tba coin was all right Tne expert wss about to pass it on when be rang the coin egsin. The persistent half note higher again checked him. He took up a knife end cut deeply into the coin. Into this cut he poured aorne acid, and in an instant a center of base metal was reveled. The coin was now cat in two parts. It was found that tbe center bid been compressed by a heavy force until It nearly equaled tbe density of silver. Upon this center bad been put a heavy enough plating to resist acid. The plating represented thirty ceata worth of silver. The result is a coin, an exact duli-p cate of tbe genuine coin in weight, and gen eral appearance. Until *t u EAltor. Botox. October Hon.

Upon Mr. A's. return home he wa9 told of what Ogletrce had said and they corroborated tbe statement made bTYlie man, nm l he was at that time and place singing, just asOgietreo »uiu hu was. The circumstances of Ogletree'a visit to Mr. Askew's place are sig niilcent indeed, inasmuch as he asked where Mr. Askow’s iittlo boy was, and to us there seeni3 no doubt but that tho fellow was en deavoring to kidnap this little boy, knowing that Mr. Askew was from home and that he was tbo man who had pursued him more per sistently than any ono clzo in the countjr, and it would not require more than a min- life’s talk with Mr. Askew to be convinced that Mr. Askew himself thought that the man's object in going to his place was to steal away lih little boy. There is nut, to our knowledge, a single cose in history parallel to tbo one in question.
