The Young Men’s Christian Association is emphatically progressive in its nature and it seizes upon every new Held of labor which presents itself. This spirit has spread the association all over the coun try ami made one of its permanent insti tutions. The association in this city lias not been organized six months and now it numbers one hundred and fifty mem bers, and is alive and active. Tho mem bers ha ve aided no little in tho revivals which have been going on near the city. Believing that they will be glad of any opportunity to spread the organization, wo refer them to a locality whero there is a fine field open for their laljors. We speak of Fort Valley. This beautiful little city contains a very large number of Christian young men who are anxious to enjoy the benefits conferred by tho Y. M. C. A. A revival of deep interest is now in progress there and a large, number of young men have been added to the church. The community is emphatically Christian, and we are sure that a large number of members could easily is* obtained if the association were to bo formed. We had the pleasure of conversing with a young man from Fort Valley a few days since and he expressed a lu>i>o that tho Colum bus association would establish one iu that place. Wo mention tho fart, and tho members of the association may consider it, and if they doom proper take action on the subject. Uiinny Hair- and llairvluir. From the New Nork (hmmerckU (Chron icle. of the 21st, wo learn that tho market for bagging lias been moderately active during the post week, and sales in New York and Boston will probably foot up 2,000 rolls, at, 13*4 cents. The demand from the South is increasing, and the mar ket closes firm at the above quotation. India bales are quiet, ami prices are quo ted at 9 3 - 4 alo cents. Borneo is held at 3\ coats. Bags are quiet, but prices are steady: 4.40’s are quoted at 12\ai3 Gouts. Our merchants continue to receive large quantities of bagging, and tho trade will soon become very active. Several firms have very largo stocks of bagging and ti<*B and expect a heavy demand. Freedom. Wednesday afternoon a negro, who had endured tho hardships of tho chain gang for ten long months, wont into Schober’s gun-shop to have his fetters taken off. He said the heavy clasps around Ins ankles had never been one© removed since they were first put on. They had grown ho rusty that it was difficult to open them. After much tinkering and tugging they were, at last, loosed, and the happy dar key, throwing his shackles over his shoul der, marched off to the jail to return them. 110 was the perfect picture of free dom and happiness, and as he departed he vowed that he would never do any thing else for which he could possibly l>o put on the chain-gang. Mayor’* Court. Mayor pro tem T. E. Blancnnrd hold hie morning leveo yesterday in the presence of a motley crowd of darkies aad “white trash.” Martha Upshaw came up and explained why she did not appear the day before to answer the charge of retailing liquor with out license. Evidence was heard in her case and the Mayor pro tem withheld his Judgment. The tine of $5 for her not ap pearing the day before was revoked. Lucinda Morgan and Adella McLendon had a little fight yesterday morning, for which they were fined $1 25 each. Tony Adams plead guilt y to public in decency and was fined $5.

KPKECH OF GEN'. A. If. C.01.4H ITT. Ilurrli County and Homo of ll*r IN*®, pie—Crops, *!•. Owing to a misundorstandiug, not so largo a crowd attended this meeting us was expected, though a very large crowd of tho most intelligent farmers of Harris county were present. A number of the ladies of the county graced tho occasion with their presence. At 11 o’clock the large assembly were called to order by the se lection of Require James Cox as chairman of the meeting, and Mr. Eugene Granberry as secretary. Upon motion of Col. W. I. Hudson, the Chair appointed the following committee to wait upon Gen. Colquitt, and ask him to address tho meeting; the Chair appointing as that committee, Judge W. I. Hudson, Dr. H. K. Stanford, T. H. Kimbrough, Esq., Captain Dennis Miller, Captain Jenkins, Col. J. M. Mobley and ('apt. C. A. Redd, of Columbus. The committee soon returned, escorting Gen. Colquitt to the speaker’s stand. lie was fitly introduced by Col. Mobley, who said lie was “first in war, first in peace, and first lathe hearts of his countrymen.” • GENKBAL COLQUITT then advanced to the front of the speak er's stand and addressed the audience in a very forcible style, carrying conviction to tho minds of ids hearers, as to the truth of all ho said. Wo intended report ing his speech iu full, but it was oh> good to risk being butchered by a reporter. We cannot employ language to describe the earnest manner of its delivery, the apt il lustrations and the general grandeur of tho speech. Type are inefficient agents to employ in picturing the speech, as it was spoken, and we will have to content our selves with simply telling the readers of tho Times that it was the best agricultu ral speech to which we ever listened - re plete with good, hard, plain common sense, and a world of solid, practical truths. He spoke at length on the POVERTY OF THE PEOPLE, and assigned correct reasons for it. He, in fact, solved the knotty problem by pointing to the post, and picturing the future, and in such unmistakeable lan guage that, if heeded, the South will yet regain the noble heritage bequeathed us 1) v a noble ancestry. THE GRANGE came In for a siiaro of his speech, and in a short but (xmduslve argument he showed the necessity for the Order. He called upon tho fanners to unite, not to oppose anybody, but to foster agriculture and reinstate the social and moral character peculiar to the South. By interchange of views and benefit of each other’s success ful experience, lie thought the key note to success and independence. DIRECT TRADE. Direct trade was warmly advocated by tho General, and all the earnestness of his sincere nature was exerted in painting tlie blessings that will accrue to the South from direct trade. He urged his hearers to endorse the movement. If they did not have tho money to put in the enterprise, to encourage the good work by their pat ron age and influence. His speech had a marked effect upon liis hearers, and after the speech everybody congratulated Idm and promised to profit by ids advice. During the entire delivery of ids Speech the audience were particu larly attentive. AFTER THE SPEECH the meotting adjourn**! for dinner. A number of gentlemen gathered around Gen. Colquitt to shako hands with him. One old gentleman was so struck with the illustrations of tho mode of living now in dulged in by tho farmers, and a descrip tion of a poor farmer, that be told the fol lowing anecdote and applied it to General Colquitt. He said: “Before the war the Rev. Dr. Pierce was asked to preach to the negro church in Columbus on the subject of stealing. The distinguished divine con sented, and made them an earnest talk on stealing. He said sometimes a negro did not start out to steal, but ho would l*o going along through Wynnton, and hx* some fine chickens belonging to the white people, and not having auything to carry to his wife Jane, he would whistle to the dog, slip around the house, and take the first ones he laid his hands on. When an old negro woman who heard the sermon got home, she asked her mistress if old Dr. Pierce was ever excuzin of taking chickens. Her mistress was indignant, and asked her reason for asking such a question. She replied from the way the Doctor “unrated on stoalin’ he must know allabout.it." So the old gentleman thought Gen. Colquitt must have had experience to have so truthfully and graphically por trayed tho wants, necessities .and short comings of the farmer. DINNER. In true Harris county hospitable style, a plentiful feast was prepared and spread for everybody present. The less thought ful failed to provide themselves with a lunch, but the generous hearts thought of such things, ami hence there was enough left to feed an hundred people. Wo, as well os many others, are under especial obligations to Messrs. Marshall and Thos. Kimbrough, Misses Kilpatrick and Mob ley, Mrs. O’Neal, Mrs. Granborry, and others, for considerate and kind attention. As an incident of the feast, Gen. Uolquitt was invited by the Messrs. Kimbrough to dine with them on home-raised pig, flour, corn, syrup and fruits. This turned the laugh on the General, as he had previous ly stated in his speech that wo did not raise our own supplies. But we think the Messrs. Kimbrough aw exceptions to the rule; nevertheless they deserve all praise for setting tho example to their neighbors. after dinner the chairman called the meeting to order, and Col. Mobly was called upon to speak. He spoke very eloquently of the needs of the farmers and tho remedies to be ap plied. He agreed with Gen. Colquitt, ami thought it high time the farmer was be coming independent. He urged at lengt h unity of action, and determination to be free and independent. JUDGE W. I. HUDSON was next called upon, and in his ac customed humorous style, amused everybody, and put everybody in a good humor. He wanted the farmers to profit by Colquitt’s advice, and go to work that very day to be independent- He was listened to with much attention, and his remarks highly enjoyed. THANKS. The hearty and sincere thanks of the meeting were unanimously tendered Gen. Colquitt for his able and instructive ad dress. This was a fitting tribute to a noble gentleman. OUR NEXT GOVERNOR. The next Governor of Georgia will be Alfred H. Colquitt. the PEOPLE arc determined to elect him, for lie is the man for the place. No stain rests upon his character in any way. He has illus trated Georgia upon tho field of carnage, and now the people ask him to represent Georgia as the Chief Executive of tho State. He has been employed since the war in looking after the material pros perity of tho State. Especially has he boon interested in the farmers, and every Interest that concerned them. All hail the next Governor of Georgia. PLEASANT MEMORIES. Now, as we come to tho conclusion of our account of the inecting, we will be par doned for mentioning a few of our friends in brief. The train from Columbus, under care of Font Grimes, carried to the scene of enjoyment our friends Capt. C. A. Redd, Col. Barden, Col. W. E. Barnard, Col. James, MaJ. Thornton aud Prof. Glenn. The ladies of Columbus were represent**l in Mrs. Perry, Mrs. Radcliff and 51 rs. El lis. All landed at the terminus! in good spirits and bent on enjoyment.; At the rendezvous we met the best people of Harris. Muscogee was represented by | Capt. Poe and Mr. Perry Wimberly. Har-: ris county was proud of such men as Dr. 11. K. Stanford, ’Squire Cox, Messrs. Kim brough, Eugene Granbery, W. I. Hudson, J 51. Mobley, Mr. Douglass, Hon. Mr. Kil patrick, J. J. McKenzie anad many others. THE LADIES of Harris were out iu a goodly number. The charming Misses Mobley, Miss Kil patrick, and sliss Rogers from Macon, added much to our enjoyment and pleas ure. Many of tho first matrons of the county added to the occasion their un tiring effort to make everybody happy. HARRIS COUNTY. We love Harris county, because the* peo ple arc so clever aud bo hospitable. They like to entertain strangers, aud to enter tain them right royally. They like to lay aside dull care, and make merry of the moment Wo are in for Harris county hereafter, and while some may think we are enthused for the moment, we Htill say Harris forever. CROPS. The good people of Harris have boon sorely afflicted in the way of bad crops. First came cyclones that swept away life and property, and then a drouth that well nigh ruined the prospects of all. They will make only average crops, though in some parts half a crop is all that can be expected. They are working hard and economizing, and we trust they will come : out ui! right. Many things we would like i to mention if wo Igui time and space. Gen. Colquitt- Gen. A. H*Colquitt will six*ak to-day at Elam Church, old MuscogeeCamp-ground,, about twelve miles out on tho Talbotton ! road. He did not come back to the city j from Kingsboro yesterday, but went j across the country to the neighborhood of Elam Church. Quito a number of Colum bus gentlemen will go out to tho meeting. A large attendance from the surrounding country is expected. Pmbykrlan < hi*r-h. !

Bathing in masks is very popular at watering places this summer, but it is a curious fact that the pretty girls never w ear the masks. Wm. Janefield, of Henry county, is the newest candidate for Governor. A gentleman informed us yesterday tiiat lie saw Hire** young lodic'S on tho street who did not seem to billow certain fash ions which have recently been much talked of. The number of these young ladies is fast Increasing. Edwin Booth’s father-in-law writes that in ten days the great actor will be on his feet, but that it will lea much longer time before his arm will bo out of a sling. A Tennessee exchange says: “Yesterday ! afternoon the handsome sliss Jennie Tay lor was borne to the cemetery before a; large concourse of grieving men, women, j and vehicles." The atmosphere Is gradually growing warmer and September will probably not i be as mild as August has been. Now Theodore Tilton says he is not! going to revive that little unpleasantness between himself and H. W. 8., New York reporters and telegraph companies are unhappy, The Western Railroad time is about lif- j teen minutes slower than city time, and not faster as we stated tho other day. The society oonnundrum now is: “Why does tho Columbus beaux hie him up to LaGrange so often?" Answer in our next. Nearly all the houses in tho city appear to bo numbered now. If we would just stir up and get 20,000 inhabitants we would have a free mail delivery and put on all the airs of a full grown city. Rome is proud of her water works, and Columbus is ashamed of not having any. Fine peaches sold for 75 cents a bushel j yesterday.

The Griffin .Vckw ami Mi'MHmger, speak ing of a game of base ball, is not very ex act in its estimate of the number of spec- i tutors. It says from sto 600 people were present.

At Dalton it is said Governor Brown re-1 marked that any of the candidates for Governor who would secure his influence j must go to Chattanooga on the excursion.! Governor Smith leisurely got on board, i General Colquitt paused in the midst of an j argument on Direct Trade, and re-light-j ing iiis cigar, got on. J. Y. Carmichael I quietly slipped in. Tom Hardeman caught j ! hold of the platform and swung in, while ; | John H. James mounted the smoke stack, j The Griffin News says this is a fact, and i that journal must l>e responsible for it.

Negrtajs who delight in the conversa tional art, pass along the streets at late hours at night and “rouse the sleeping citizens." Success to the Columbus rifle team. Let it be organized at once.

We are happy to state that this remedy gives ‘ better satisfaction than any article we sell. We have been selling it since 1868, ! and witnessed many remarkable cures by it.

She continued In bad health; in fact, she has never been what a woman ought to be. A few mouths after the death of her husband she saw | your advertisement, and came to our store and bought a bottle of your Regula tor from us, and took it according to di rections. it has cured her sound and well, brought her regular monthly i>eri ods on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom ing widow--with the use of bat two but- i ties of your Regulator, costing her only three dollars, when she had tried several physicians and spent a great deal of money without any benefit.
