THURSDAY^ 'mAIien 2, 1871.
The Georgia Agricultural Convention
ha# adjourned. The next Annual Fair
(1871) will beheld at Macon. The
Fpring Convention will be held in Rome
on the last Tuesday in August.
Mrs. Butler, residing on the corner of
.Jefferson and York streets, Savannah,
ate her supper at half past six o’clock
Wednesday night, and at half past seven
was a corpse. Heart disease.
Statk Fair at Macon. —At the
convention of the State Agricultural
Society, last week, it was determined to
hold the Annual State Fair this year at
Macon. From all accounts Macon en
tertained the delegates in princely style.
»eJ3u The Committee to investigate
the Indian Commission report neglect,
incompetent*}’, irregularity, and in some
cases departure from the express pro
visions of the law. There is no evi
dences of fraud on the part of Commis
sioner Parker.
6*%, The Courier-Journal thinks if
anybody h id met Christopher Columbus
in the middle of the Atlantic, and told
him that he was in the .act of discover
ing a country that would ultimately fall
into the hands of such an Administra
tion as the present, he would have gone
back home and stayed there.
Rev. 0. T. Hudson died week before
last near Rome, Georgia, in his eightieth
year. He had not preached for a long
while, and had gone from the pulpit to
the stage, and from the stage to the pul
pit, half a dozen times during his histri
onico life.
In the fire which destroyed GOO sing
ing birds in New York, the other eve
ning, a gifted parrot was heard ejaculat
ing “ Polly wants a drink,” When the
wires grew too hot and scorched his feet,
lie attempted to seek relief by clinging
with his bill to the roof. But this too
was untenable and burned his tongue, so
he let go and dropped to the bottom of
his cage, hoarsely uttering. “You
know how it is yourself!” And so, like
a leathered Cassabianca, he perished.
A Terrific hurricane at San Francisco
on Monday night of last week, blew
down a fire wall twelve feet high and
sixty feet long, upon a frame building,
crushing it and hurrying fifteen or twen
ty persons beneath the ruins. Mrs.
McDonald, wife of the watchman at the
State Prison, her child ten months old,
a daughter twelve years old. and Mrs.
Hagan, were all instantly killed and
frightfully mangled. Several others
were injured, but none fatally. Three
alarms of fire added horror to the night.
There was more thunder and lightning
in one hour than ever before seen or
heard in San Francisco altogether.
Mardi Gras
As sonic of your readers further North,
may not be familiar with Mardi Gran
and its attendant incidents, it may not
be amiss to give a brief explanation.
Mardi Gra* means simply Fat Tuesday,
or Shrove Tuesday; and was formerly
observed, in Catholic countries, as a fes
tive holiday. Coming as it does, just be
fore Lent, the license indulged in is all
the more appreciated, when contrasted
with the following forty days’ fast. In
most localities, the custom of publicly
celebrating the day, has been discontin
ued; but, in New Orleans, almost the en
tire population enter into the festivities
with the greatest enthusiasm. It is a
noticeable fact that, with each sueeess
sive year, this holiday continues to grow
in popular favor, and the indications are
that it has become one of the permanent
customs of the Crescent City.
Hurricane in Baker County.
The Albany News contains an ac
count of a terrible hurricane in Baker
county last week—the second one this
month. The first one was southwest to
northwest, and about five hundred yards
in width. One of Mr. B. H. Hill's
places was stripped of buildings, sheds,
fences and timber, and several mules
were badly injured. It passed over
Colonel Fluellyu’s place, sweeping ev
erything before it, and killing five mules
and injuring as many more.
The direction of the last was the
same, but the with pnly abont two hun
dred yards. It literally swept every
thing before it. Hon. Reuben Jones
had twenty five houses, including sheds,
blowu down. No lives were lost—the
negroes having fled in terror froui their
houses.
The Hawkinsville Dispatch says that
Mr. John Harrell, of Pulaski county,
made a division of a small piece of land
last year, and planted one half in cotton,
and the other half in sugar cane. The
land was manured equalley, and good
crops were realized. The cotton, after
being sold, only brought one fourth the
value of the syrup made from the cane,
which was cultivated with far less trou
ble and expense.
Akerman to be Kicked Out
for Incompetency.
A special Washington dispatch to the
New York Evening Post dated the 13th,
! :
“Your correspondent is in possession
iof information which leaves no doubt as
to the early resignation of 31 r. Aker
nian as Attorney-General.”
“The President has frequently of late
been urged to make a change in this of
fice. not merely for political reasons, but
for other and higher considerations.—
Within a few days past the affair has
assumed such a shape as to require the
change to be made; and. although the
President's mind is said to be fully
made up to it, he hesitates as to the pol
icy of making a break in the Cabinet
until after the 3d of march
“The necessity for 3!r. Akerman’s
resignation is understood to be entirely
professional, and to be attributed to his
want of familiarity with the law govern
ing important cases in which the Gov
ernment is interested, now pending in
the .Supreme Court.
“Your correspondent violates no con
fidence in saying that several of the
justices of the Supreme Court have ad
vised the President to make this change,
asserting that 31 r. Akerman had not
thus far displayed even ordinary legal
attainments in conducting cases for the
Pnited .States before the Supreme
Court.”
And this is Amos'reward for cooking
up that iiit’am ms Jaw whereby he sought
to prop Grant's filling fortunes in Geor
gia. Or perhaps he has been a little
backward in taking stock in the Great
Grant Gift Enterprise. Let him come
down with the dust, handsomely, and
perhaps his legal attainments may reach
the necessary standard. If he must go,
we beg leave to recommend to 31 r. Grant,
as his successor, that distinguished legal
luminary. P. B. Bedford, who represent

Stephens, here last month. Let
Bedford start a subscription, and hie to

Fair in Macon.
The Executive Committee of the
State Agricultural Society determined
yesterday item. con. to hold one Fair
daring the year , and to hold it in Ma
con in the month of October next. We
preferred to make no solicitations of any
kind in behalf of Macon. The original
arrangement was for alternating fairs,
and good faith, perhaps, required that
to be carried out. But we chose not to
insist even on that point.
The Convention, in a body, saw’ the
ample arrangements for holding a fair,
which are far superior to those of any
other point in the South, and these, to
gether with the centrality of 3lacon,
we have no doubt determined the selec
tion. 3lacon will give the Society a
splendid fair. The buildings are all
ready now, and so are the grounds, with
a small expense for additional embellish
ment. The space is ample and the ap
pliances complete for a magnificent ex
hibition. and we shall anticipate such a
result with entire confidence. —Macon
Telegraph.
Gen. Early has cautioned the South
ern people to beware of swindlers, who
profess to act for the benefit of the Lee
Monument Fund. He says that the
Association has declined to have any
connection whatever with any scheme
for raising money by exhibitions, lotte
ries gift enterprises, or the like, as it
depends entirely upon the voluntary
contributions of individuals direct!} to
the fund in their own names. Nor have
any traveling agents boon appointed to
act for the Association in any part of
the country.
The Income Tax.
The repeal of the income tax is sub
stantially given up. Even if it could
be passed by the House now, it is too
late to act on it in the Senate, where a
repeal bill once passed by a bare major
ity of one vote. The President, too,
now inclines to the view of Secretary
Boutwell, and expresses the opinion that
the revenue can hardly do away with
the income tax. The Revenue Bureau
has given orders to all the Assessors to
assess the tax under the new law next
month. Const it u t ion .
Grant is to revolutionize his
Cabinet on the 4th of March. All the
members are to be turned out except
Boutwell and Delano. The reorganiza
tion of the concern will involve a num
ber of transactions in real estate from
which the Internal Revenue Department
ought to derive quite a handsome little
sum.
From July 4th. 18GG, to November
30th, 1870, the New York Col
lector’s share of fines and penalties for
violations of the revenue law, was $92.-
861, the Surveyor’s $9G,831, and the
Naval officers’ $28,002. No wonder
these chaps never die or resign.
On last Wednesday a slaughter house
in New York City, in which there were
300 sheep, was burned to the ground.
It is not stated whether “Mary’s little
lamb” was in the lot, but we hope so, if
it will dam up the flood of doggerel that
beast has let loose on the country. —

FRANCE.
Paris, Saturday night Feb. 25. —
Preliminaries of peace were finally set
tled to-day. The exact terms are un
kuown, but they are believed to be se
vere.
Bismarck has been pitiless through
out the negotiations.
The Rappel says Thiers and a Com
mission of the Assembly will probably
go to Bordeaux on Sunday to submit
the conditions agreed upon to the
Assembly.
It is said they will be immediately
adopted, and a further prolongation of
the armistice is unnecessary.
Theirs was at Versailles all day to
day.
The conclusion of peace is now cer
tain. Theirs and Favre and the Con
sultive Commission have accepted the
following conditions :
1st —Cession of Alsace and 3letz, but
Belfort to be restored to the French.
2d—Payment of the war indemnity
of five millions of francs.
3d—Portion of the French territory
same of the fortified towns, like Sedan,
to remuin in possession of the Germans
till the conditions of the treaty are ful
filled.
4th—The German army to enter Par
is on 3londay, and occupy Camps Elys
ecs. 4
5th —Peace to be proclaimed when
the French Assembly ratifies these con
ditions.
Thiers and the delegates returned to
Bordeaux to-day.
Panger Quertier has been appointed
Minister of commerce.
Theirs w’ent to Yersailes yesterday,
and after his return, consulted a Com
mission of fifteen. It is believed nego
tiations were resumed to-day. It is said
the present difficulty is respecting a
treaty of commerce.
The newspapers oppose the Prussians’
alleged intention of imposing a commer
cial treaty upon France. Le Temps
says the annual product of landed prop
erty of Fiance will not for a long time
exceed thirteen million of francs. An
indemnity of one million of thalers is
therefore excessive.
Le Temps says the sympathetic words
of President Grant’s message towards
the German Empire are a painful sur
prise to the French Democracy.
The military authorities are still un
advised as to the entry of the Prussians.
The impression is becoming general that
the enemy will forego their triumph.
It is rumored that the Assembly will
will adjourn from Bordeaux to Fontaiu
bleau.
Paris journals say the Prussian de
mands on France have produced pain
ful impressions in London, Vienna and
St. Petersburg cabinet.
Thiers accepts the principle territori
al cession, but is trying to save Metz.—
Bism a k agrees to leave that fortress
for the French, but 31oltke objects.
Rome recognizes anew French Gov
ernment.
COTTON.

movement for the week show’s a falling
off. in receipts, while there is enormous

das has also cleared for France, with
10,264 barrels of flour.
PRUSSIA.
Berlin, Feb. 27. —The following is
from the Emperor to the Empress :
With deeply moved heart in gratitude
to God, I inform you the preliminaries
of peace have been signed. The As
sembly at Bordeaux must yet ratify
them.
[Signed) Wilhelm.
Versailles dispatches dated 26th says :
Thiers proposes to purchase Luxemburg
for Prussia, in consideration of the res
toration af 31etz to France.
The armistice has been prolonged tw’o
days.
The fusion of the Orleanists and Li
gitimists has been prolonged two days.
Wilhelm returns to Berlin Saturday.
Theirs offered another million thalers
for 31etz. but the offer was refused.
France cedes Alsace and Metz, and
pays five millions of francs within three
years. The Germans will hold the for
tress until the money is paid. The ar
mistice has been prolonged one week.
Berlin. Feb. 27. —The news of the
conclusion of peaec has occasioned im
mense excitement in this city. Streets
crowded, houses decorated, flags and
festoons, and thousands of people in
front of the Palace.
There will be a general illumination
to-night.
The Cologne Gazette says: Signa
tures of the preliminaries to the treaty
of peace was delayed by the intervention
of the English, Prussian and Austrian
Governments. The Italian Government
declined to interfere.
Paris, February 27.—The Red Re
publicans held a disorderly mass meeting
on Sunday in honor of the anniversary
of the Republic of 1848.
Several policemen were drowned in
the Seine. The magistrate was driveu
off.
SAN DOMINGO.
President Baez, has called the atten
tion of the Commission to the fact that
the second payment for Samaua has not
been made. This violation of the faith,
as it is regarded here, has seriously em
barrassed Baez, and left nearly all his
officers without pay. The opinion of
the Commission seems to decide that the
money should be paid immediately.
Just before the sailing of the steamer
from San Domingo, a novel event occur
red in the Supreme Court. For the
first time in its history, an American
was admitted to plead in a ease of con
siderable magnitude, as principal coun
sel on application, for an Amcricau here.
Col. 3IcM ichael. of Philadelphia, who
accompanied the Commission, consented
to undertake the case, and won it.
NEW YORK.
New’ York. Feb. 27 —To the press of
the United States: A telegram from
3lr. Moran, Chairman of the American
Committee of London, was received at
4 o’clock p. M. yesterday. He calls
loudly for more aid from America for
the relief of the starving people of
France.
It isceriain that the anxiety of those
near the scene of famine is made more
intense than ours, and we call with new
earnestness upon the American public
for immediate contributions in money
and provisions and in seed. Other cit
ies or other centers of collection desiring
to co-operate in this relief movement can
send their contributions to this commit
tee, which will carefully credit them to
their source, both here and in the report
sent to France. If preferred contribu

Capt. Blacker, the very efficient de
tive attached to the Revenue Depart
ment, 31r. Martin, Deputy U. S. 3lar
shal, and a squad of ten soldiers under
the command of Lieutenant Bradley,
left this city on the 10th inst. They
first visited Dawson county, where they
destroyed three stills. They then re

destroyed four stills, seized a barrel of
whiskey, a barrel of brandy, and a two
mule team and wagon, taking six prison
ers. Hall county was next visited, one
prisoner arrested, and a still and barrel
of whiskey destroyed. In this county
the cst iblishment of 3lr. Dunnegan
was visited. It is said to have been the
largest illicit distillery in North Geor
gia. Its dimensions were 55 by 35 feet,
cut into the ground and partially buried.
Here, four stills, 42 stands of be r and
mash, 60 bushels of meal, and five bush
els of malt were destroyed, fifteen bar
rels of brandy and two barrels of whis
key • captured. Lumpkin county was

WATCHES.
The extensive use of these watches for the
last fifteen y<mrs by Railway Conductors, Eu
ginecs, and Expressmen, the most exacting
of watch-wearers, lias thoroughly den oa
st rated the strength, steadiness, durability
and accuracy of the Waltham Watch- To
satisfy that class in all these respects, is to
decide the question as the real value ot Uiese
time-keepers.
More than 500,000 of these watches at e
now speaking for themselves in the pockets ot
the people—a proof and a guarantee of their
superioritp over all others.
The superior organisation and great ex
tent of the Company's works at Wall ham, en
ables them to produce watches at a } rice
which renders competition futile, an 1 those
who buy any other watch merely pay from 26
to 50 per cent, more for their watches than is
necessary.
These time-pieces combine every improve
ment that along experience has proved of re
al practical use. Having had the refusal of
nearly every invention in watch-making orig
inating in this country or in Europe, only
those were finally adopted which severe test
ingby the most skilfull artisans in our works,
and long use on the part of the public, dem
onstrated to be essential to correct and eu
duriug time-keeping.
Among the many improvements we would
particularize:
The invention and use of a centre-pinion
of peculiar construction, to prevent damage
to the train by the breakage of mainsprings,
is original with the American Watch Compa
ny, who, having had the refusal of all other
contrivances, adopted Fogg’s patent pinion
as being the best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now
universally admitted by watchmakers to be
the best, arc used iu ail grades of Walihim
watches.
All Waltham watches have dust-proof caps
protecting the movement ffom dust, and les
sening the necessity of the frequent clearing
necessary mother watches.
Ou new patent stem-winder, or keyless
watch, is already a decided success, and a
great improvement on any stem-winding
watch in the American market, and by far the
cheapest watch of its vitality now offered to
the public. To those living in portions of the
United States where watchmakers do not
abound; watches with the above mentioned
improvements which tend to insure accuracy
cleanliness, durability and convenience, must
prove invaluable.
The trademarks of the various stylos made
by the Company are as follows:
