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 , operation, but is doubtless a very valuable machine. | A model of improved method of drawing water, by A B Packard of Richmond county, promises to be a : very useful invention.

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. tLT The October No. of Blackwood’s Magazine has beer, iwived.

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.
