MACHINERY.
i The Judge- on Machinery had the foregoing arti
cles presented for their inspection, and regret that but
ior a single one of them, a premium had been offered
by the Society. This they deplore, and would respect
fully suggest that hereafter, in addition to specific pre
miums in each paiticular industrial depaitment, there
! be a fund placed at the_ disposal of the Judges, so that
meritorious articles, of whatsoever character, may be
secured some tangible mark of appreciation.
The Steam Engine lor agricultural purposes, submit
ted by Messrs. Carmichael & Bean, of Augusta, is a
very hand-ome machine.
The Portable Grist Mill of A B. Miller, of Bibb
county, is well adapted to the purpose designed, but
perceiving in it no new or improved principle, a pre
mium has not been awarded it. •
i The Portable Circular Saw Mill (Child’s patent) ex
: hibited by H Stephens, of Greene county, wa? not in

mode! of a Book Binder’s Press, model of two hor.-e
powers, slightly varient liom each other; and al-o spe

of his horse powers, that with stationary wheel, is, in
the opinion of the Cos mm it tee, a valuable invention.
’I he Castings from the Dalton Manufacturing Compa
ny are very superior, indeed, the best which the com
mittee have seen.
Osborne 6c, Gray, of Augusta, also exhibited some
very good Castings.
A Pen us-ion aid Reacion Water Wheel, invented by

A Premature Display of Partisan Feeling.
We observe that several papers in the State are be
ginning to press the claims of favorite candidates upon
the public attention. It is very natural that each sec
tion of the State should have its preference, but aa all
cannot be gratified we consider tt extremely unjust that
one should be sustained at the disparagement of another.
We have many good and true men in the Democratic
party well qualified to fiii any and ail of the stations
which the next session of our Legislature may confer.—
No means should therefore be used to forestall public
opinion as to the exclusive fitness of this or that man
It is very proper that the names and qual.fieations of
individuals should be given to the public and let the
people as well as members elect of the Legislature know
who they ate, and what they are, but we decidedly ob
ject to the unfair and unjust course which already
seems to have been b gun, of canvassing the claims of
this and that wing of the party, and sustaining as the
; necetsaty choice any cm- for whom a plausible case
can be made out. With whatever show of magnanim
ity, or of justice, such a course may be pursued, the
public will be very hard to convince tlmt there i# not
I something beyond this ; some whet ior purposes to be
; subserved, some ends to be attained not altogether
prompted by disinter* sted motives or magnanimous
concessions. We have achieved a glorious victory in
1 il’irr luu a.ciiunc al! ‘.voiked vvt-U nnd faithfully.
Shall it be said that one deserves more for voting {he
Democratic ticket than another ? That to the Southern
Rights Democrat belongs special commendation or re
ward, because he labors to sustain the national admin
istration of Pierce, or that the Union Democrat made
great sacrifices in doing the same thing ? Is the Union
j naan of 51 abetter Democrat for supporting Johnson
than the Southern Rights Democrat for adopting the
policy and views of the Administration ? We trow
not. We trust then that the course already bv
some will receive a decided cluck. Let the party go
into the election for United States Senator and Judges
, of the Supreme Bench, as a whole, and not with a
view lo the rewarding of ibis or that wing, or its pecu
liar representative.

The frost on Tuesday morning was general through
out this State, and we i egret to add, was ns destructive
as it was general, It was quite severe at Macon, Au
gusta, Columbus, Atlanta and Chattanooga, and at in
termediate points. The cotton is everywhere killed,
including the young and immature bolls, of which there
were many, and from which the planter anticipated a
considerable yield.
Had the seond growth of bolls been left to mature,
| l^lw crn P would have been an average one, notwith
standing the drought in the snmmer; now, however,
; slu ‘ re !S every reason to be ieve the number of bales
; produced in Georgia will fall far short of last year.
buch, at least, is the resuit of our observation ; and
we have travelled over much of the State within the
past few weeks.— Sav. Rep.
Interesting from Havana. — A letter, dated Hava
na, October 14th, statts that England, backed In
i'ranee, has succeeded in inducing the Cuba authori
ties to introduce the apprentice system. The only de- j
lay, it is said, is caused by the necessity of having'a |
French and British squadron in the Cuban waters to
protect the island in the change proposed, which is in !
opposition to the wlehts and interests of the people. i
The seeiet Convention will bes gned as soon as it can j
be formally prepaied by the three Powers.

The I rost. —From information received, says the
Charleston Mercury of Thursday, we have reason to
believe that the frost on Tuesday morning has extendi and
