Yesterday was the day set apart for the Annual Spring Exhibition of the Cotton States Mechanics' and Agri cultural Fair Association. This is the third one given, and each of the former were so succesful that a great deal was expected from the present, both as regarded pleasure and profit. In order to give ADDITIONAL INTEREST. To the affair, the Augusta Sabre Club-a n9w organization in which our citizous felt much interest-invi. ted the Savannah Sabre Club to a trial of skill, to take place in the Fair Grounds during the progress of the Exhibition. The invitation was promptly accepted, and the Savan nah Club arrived hero with their horses on Tuesday evening. The Club and its hospitable roeoption by the citizens of Augusta have already been fully noticed in the Chronicle and Sentinel. The managers of the Association also determined to in crease the chances of suceoss by hold ing the exhibition at a time when the annual. CONVENTION OF THE STOCKHOLDERS Of the Georgia Railroad Company would be in session in the city, The Georgia Railroad has more stock holders in proportion to the capital stock than any cther road in the coun try, and its annual conventions are always very largely attended. In this I way it was expected that a large crowd would be hero during the ex hibition, and that expeotation has not been disappoiPted. The GATES AT THE FAIR GROUND Were opened yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, and about an hour later the visitors began to enter the beautiful park. Vegetatation has advanced as rapidly as the lateness of the season would permit and the place wore a most inviting aspect. The first point of interest was the large building to the right of the fountain, known as FLORAL HALL. Here all the articles on exhibition were placed. In the centre of the ball was a beautiful fountain-the basin of which was elevated Eoveral feot from the floor and surrounded up to the water's brim with rare and costly hot house flowers and exotics. On either side of the room were long rows of tables upon which were plao ed fruits and flowers. Owing to the lateness of the season and other dis. advantages with which our gardeners have had to contend, the supply of fruits and vegetables was not near so large as usual, and, of course, this fact had a bad effect upon the exhibi tion. Still there were some vero fine specimens from Augusta gardons some of them remarkable for size and vigorous there growth. In the fruit line isa little at present ripe in this sec tion of country, but there was a fine display of such as were in season. We noticed some magnificent specimens of strawberries, cherries, eta. There were plenty of fine green-house and open air flowers, but not as many as there should have boon, for the hall is so large that it takes an immense quantity to make a proper: show. We have not space to day to mako speclal mention of any of the articles in this hall, and also refrain from do. ing so because a good many more were expected last night and this )nornin)g. To-morrrow we shall en deavor to do the subject more coim plete justice. The great event of the day was the CONT EsT ,.. 'Betwoon the Sabre Clubs of Augusta and Savannah. About nine o'clock the two Clubs formed on Greene street, and rodo down to the Grounds. The men, as usual, presented a very fine appearance-the Savannah, esi p eeially,'being remarkable for its fne looking men. Their commander, GEN. R. II. ANDElRsON, Is a pcrfoet model of a cavalry officer, and his soldierly appearenc and fine horsemanship were greatly admired. The horses belonging to both the Clubs all looked well, and some of them were really very fine animals. The contdat was to take plae in front of the Grand Stand, and by the time it commenced the immense building was filled to its utmost capacity. TiHE nIEAUTY AND FA8ION) Not only of the city but of Middle Georgia.wore assembled there in un prooolerited large numbers, and there slever was, perhaps so much of lovli ness concentrated under one roof. The ladies constituted- a large per contage of the spectators. Tro the right and lett of the Graid Stand, phamtons auid other vehicles, filled with fair occupanmts,linied the sides of the course.

An Innocent Man Released from Priso After Serving Eight Years. The Providence Journal, of the 22i ult., says : James O'Neil who bas served mor( than eight years in the State Prisor for a crime which it is now proved that lie was entirely innocent of, wai liberated Friday afternoon, shortly after the Senate consented to the par. don, if pardon it can be called. The news was broken to O'Niel gent. ly by his counsel, W. B. Whitman, Esq., of this city, who had thoughl best not to inform him that efforti wore being made for his release, that he might not be disappointed, and they were at first too good news for him to believe. The poor follow passed the outer door of the prison for the first time since his sentence, like one in a dream, and as he reach ed the street drew a long deep breath, with the heart felt remark, "How sweet the air smells." After he be gan to realize that lie was really re leased, lie said that he suffered more wheu told he was free than when he l'eard the sentence of imprisonment for life passed against him. He was taken in charge by a brother-in-law, who lives in Philadelphia, and left with him on Saturday for his home in that city. His parting words to counsel, as he was about leaving on the cars, were : "God bless you, sir ; only for you I'd be in the prison now ; I'll pray for you, and if you ever need a man to6die for you send for me ," in a manner that left no doubt of their sincority. Fatality. There wore, on Sunday, eight per sons lying dead In this city from scar. let fever, and meningitis. The last named disease is confined almost ex. clusively to colored people, and to the poorer classes who live in filth and malarial parts of the city. In New. berry, it is reported by a citizen of that county, the fatality, was so great that many of the colored people mov ing out, some of whom were super.ti tious that the white citizens were pois, oning them. It will be remembered that at the recent meeting of the South Carolina Medical Association, this disease was learnedly discussed upon, as reports of its existence ir several counties were then rendered, A case in the vicinity of Iicken street was yesterday reported mueli improved, the treatirat resorted tc being the shaving of the back portior of the head, and application of blis. ters.

I Meningetis-8uccessful Treatment of the Disease Known by this Name. We regard the following informa tion, handed us by a lady of great ' respectability, now residing in Green ville, as too, important to be with hold from the public. We hope the papers will give it circulation ; it may be the means of saving many val. uoble lives. Knowing the 'source whence it comes, we can confidently fask for it the most serious attention. The lady we refer to, (Mrs. L. T. DeG,) utates in a note that "the re medy was sent to me by my esteemed friend and,relative, Dr. J. J. Robert. son, of Washington, Georgia, a man of groat intelligence and ability :" "The disease called Cero Spinal Meningetis, is improperly named, and hence the improper treatment in many cases. It is not inflammation of the membranes of the spine and brain. I have made several post mor tem examinations, and found it the case in every instance. The symp. toms are very like those of inflam mation of the inembranos, I admit, but treated as such, every case will prove fatal. I have had over a hun dred cases ; the first seven cases had died when I was called in consula tion. Finding all these had been treated by depletion ind had died, I at once made an examination of two of the bodies and decided to change the mode of treatment, and it proved a success in nearly every case. When the case is first taken, at once shave the back of the head in the most rapid m;nner possible raise a blister from the back of the head to the end of the spine ; in severe cases I satu rate flannel with turpentine and apply it and run a hot iron over it until it blisters, or rub on the turpentine and set it on fire, or any other way to pro. duce a blister as soon as possible; then give quinine in ten grain doses until thirty or forty grains are taken -give ten grains every two or three hours ; let,the patient drink freely of pepper tea, and also take a table spoonful or two of whiskey every four or five hours, and give him ten grains of the bromido of potass every six hours. These doses are for adults. If the case Is a negro it will require more stimulants than a white person, and especially of red pepper tea. If the case is taken in time, this treatment will cure nearly every one, but if neglected for an hour or two, it may fail. I saw oases bled and they died an hour after ; others were'purg. ed and died with symptoms of cholera ; others had every uppearance of tetanus or lockjaw. The symp toms and name given the disease mislead the physician in his treat ment. To sum up : Blister the back of the head and whole spine in the most expeditious manner possible, and keep it sore ; give full doses .of quin ine and pepper tea, and occasionally whiskey, and keep the patient under -the influence of bromido of potass. If the bowels are disposed to act, do not hesitate to give an opiate to check them ; or if there is any acute pain not relidved by the bromide of potass, give opiates to relieve it, and do not be afraid of them, for they often scom to make a stupid comotose patiens rouse up, Avoid ali depletingr or do pressing remedes.- Greenville IEnlcr Texas for Greeley, The Houston Times, (Democrat) hoists the name of Greeley and Birown.

They also represent that liberal and progressive spirit in I politics, combined with that respect for our time-honored institutions whieh form the essential elements of American statesmanship. Besides, they have done more than any other two men to inaugurate that liberal movement which has broken *tho bad force of Radicalism and restored the hope of good government to the coun.. -try.

From Germany, where so manny subjects are considered that. have so little attention paid to them else where, cones curious facts and statis. ties about the influence of forests in checking contagious diseases and the sanitary influence of trees generally. Dr. Max von Petteikofer, of Munich, has been investigating this subject for some time, and has just published a mass of i6formation, gathered from widely different sources, which is of much impo'tance. The gist of it is that forests have a very appreciable effect in checking the progress of cholera or other contagious diseases ; that well wooded countries, other things being equal, are the healthiest, and that marked sanitary changes are sure to result from the denudation of a territory by the cutting down of its trees, or by the planting of gardens and forests where no trees exist. In proof of these theories Dr. Pot. tenkofer has many-reports from medi cal men in India showing that jungle villages are much less liable to be visited by cholera than otherp, and that villages densely shaded with tamarind trees are remarkably cx empt from the disease, as shown by observations through a long series of years. The statistics of cholera through Germany for the last forty years also show that the well-wooded provinces have had a much lower rate of mortality than the others. Bear. ing upon the'influenco of trees upon the general healthfulness of a coun. try are the statements that the pesti lence has entirely disappeared from Cairo, Egypt, since Mahomet Ali transformed the-swamps around itin to beautiful gardens and plantations, and caused great groves of olives to be established, while the reputation of the Roman compagna for unhealth. iness has been wholly obtained since the hewing down of the sacred groves under the government of George X11I.-N. Y. Comnercial Bulietin. An Innocent Plan Vindicated. The Jacksonville (Ill.) Journal re lates the following singular - occur rence, showing how sometimes inno cent parties suffer from unjust soou3a tions u au. Fifteen years ago one Sam Steele worked on a farm for Mr. George Bar bour ; whQ lived 'a mile and a-half north of this place. One day Mr. Barbour. came to town, bringing his wife. Before starting he called in Steele, and in his presence put $250 in a bureau drawer, looked it up and delivered to him the key of the draw er, as well as the key to the house, telling him to take care of both for the day. Returning home at night and recounting the money Mr. Barbour found that a fifty dollar bill was miss ing. 8teele, who was the only one that knew of the whereabouts of the money besides Mr. Barbour, denied all knowledge of the missing bill, de claring that he bad not entered the room since he did so with Barbour. The latter maintained that Steel must know something about it, and finally discharged him from his service. Steele left and has not been heard of sine. A few day since Mr. B krbour found the missing fifty dollars in the back -part of his bureau, caught in the frame. One-half of the bill was worn away by rubbing of the drawer as it had been pulled backward. When ho found it he burst into tears, con.. sonce-stridken from having unjustly accused and censured Steele.

A monument to John Brown, a Hasrne4 Fery is proed. A Beautiful Incident, On a beautiful summer's day, a clergyman was called to preach in a town in Indiana, to a young Episco pal congregation. At- the olose of his discourse, he addressed his young hearers in such words, as these : "Learn that the present life is a preparation for and has a tendency to eternity. The present is linked to the future throughout creation, in the animal, and in the moral world. As is the seed, so is the fruit ; as is the egg, so is the fowl ; as is*the boy, so is the man ; and as is the rational being in this world, so will lie be in the next. Dives estranged froin God here, is Dives estranged from God in the next, and Enoch walking with God here, is Enoch walking with God in a calm and better world. I boe, veecl you, live then for a blessed eternity. Go to the worm that you tread upon, and learn a lesson of wis. dom, The very caterpillar seeks the food that fosters it for another and similar state ; and more wisely than man builds its own sculpture, from whence in time by a kind of resur rection it comes forth a new creature in almost an angelic form. And now that which crawled flies, and that which fed on comparatively gross food, sips tho dew that reveals in the rich pastures, an emblem of that paradise where flows the river of life and arows the tree of life. Could the cattorpil. lar have been diverted from its proper element and mode of life, if it had never attained the butterfly's splendid form and hue, it had perished a worthless worm. Consider her ways and be wise. Let it not be said that yo are more negligent than worms, and that your reason is less available than their instinct. As often as the butterfly flits across your path, re member that it whispers in its flight, "live for the future." With this the pretcher closed his discourse ; but to deepen the inipres sion, a butterfly, directed by the Hand which guides alike the sun and an atom in its course, fluttered through the Church, as if commis sioned by Heaven to repeat the exor tation. There was neither sp ecli nor language, but its voice was leard saying to the gazing audienc--"Livo for the future." A Fight with an Alligator, A. Starke (Florida) letter to the Savannah Nows, sends to that paper the following ncount : On the after. noon cf the 20th, as Mr. William Kelley, an old citizen of Bradford County was returning home from Starke, he espied an alligator basking in the mud by the roadside. Uo dis mounted, and taking a hatchet from his cart approachod the reptile for a fight. In the twinkling of an eye his feet were knocked from under him, and his leg caught in the mon. ster's mouth. 13cing an old man, the fight would have'gone against him had not a colored man by the name of George Ruff, who happened to be paFsing along, despatched the alliga tor with a pistol. Mr. Kelly's leg was considerably lacerated, so much so that it is probable he will never again attempt to chop a Saurian voith. his little hatchet The New York -Sun on the People's Diuty. IIorace Greeley was yesterday nominated for P'resident by the con vention at Cincinnati. lIe is the grandson of an Irishman, and will be likely to carry the Irish vote. By birth, by education, and by sentiment, he is an out-and-out Amo rican. The Ger,nmans seemi to be for him enthusiastically. The South is for him, both colored and whiite. The North is for him.

Two now religious soots have late. ly been added in England to the countless number already existing there, one called the Walworth Con.. vulsionists, and the other calling themselves the Peouliar People. The leader of the firot is a Mrs. Girling, who calls herself a seven deviled wo man, although she says she has rid herself of the tormentors which once possessed liar. The meetings of Mrs. Girling's followers having been inter rupted by scoffers, who were arrested by the police, an examination in Uourt led to an explanation of her doctrines. She said that the mani festations which had attracted atten tion to liar meetings occur when the worshippers feel the Word of God, and when it falls on them they remain in an unconscious state for a time, after which they are Impelled to dance. All who danco passed have from death to life ; the death takes place during the period of uneon sciousness, and some persons take seven hours in paaing from the old state of Adam to the new. At least so says Mr. Girling. The Peculiar People beliove that they are the rpecial objects of Divine protection, and permit their children to dio of accidents or illness without calling in medical assistanoe, because they have faith that God will heal them super naturally if it is 11is will that they should recover. The Real End of the World. A correspondent writing from Lake Montana, describes the locality as one of wonderful grandeur. The hike is situated in the Rocky Moun ta;ns, at an altitude of 5,000 feet above the level of the sea. Looking from a high peak near this body of water he saw the nanorama of the most wonderful region known to man, for within scope of the eye from that point-having their origin in Henry Lake-are courses of five of the grandest rivers on the face of the globe, born a-s it were, in the same litt'e lake and drinking all from the same small spring. liere the Yellow. stone, Snake and Green rivers, as well as Clark's Fork, Wind river, Madison and Gallatin, start together, leaping and bounding in great cata racts ana rushing in every direction to enipty themselves into the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, Beyond a low mountain to the southeast the eye falls upon the spectaclo of the steam ascending from tho escape pipes of purgatory (sometime s called geysers) to minglo with the clouds. "This," exclaims the correspondent, "is the real end of the world." Savagce Diucl bf(ween Mexicaii Ladies.

The people of Texas seem to be in the condition in respect to wordly goods for which Argar fervently prayed. They have neither poverty nor riches. The Texas Intelligoncor says : "We have not an alms house in the State, nor do we need one. We are all rich. We venture the assortiod that not a man, woman or child in all the State necessarily goes to bed hungry this year. Come to Texas. This is the place to live well and look well." To which the Gal veston News adds : "We suppose that there is no part of the world in which the Saviour's statement, 'The poor ye have with you always,' is not found strictly true, but it is difliculb for us to realize the fact. There is not to-day in all Texas a poor man or won:an, as poverty is understood else. where. There are thousands who cannot buy silk dresses nor broadcloth coats. There are tons of thousands who have no gold watches nor soli toiro diamonds. There are but few who can own fast horses or indulge in the more expensive luxuries that many think indispensable. But there are none who need want for necessary food, clothing and shelter. Any man who is able to work two hours in the day can have all these, and for those whom sicknoss or infirmity render helpless, the neighborhood has always an abundance. If we have but few rich men there are no poor ones. If we have but little luxury, we have every necessity that man needs." The Colored People. In Virginia, where the colored peo ple are less influenced by the Carpet. baggers than in most of the Southern States, excellent relations appear to exist between the two races. At Richmond the colored population mado a brilliant demonstration on the anniversary of the passage of the fifteenth amendment, and their pro cession attracted great attention. The boat possible feeling was manifested by those who participated in the colo bration, and by those who wore look ors on. There was a notable absence of offensive mottoos in the process sion, which was applauded vigoroubly by the white spectators. The Rich mond Enquirer refers to this oooasion as an evideroo of the good relations which prevail among tho citizens of all colors there, and makes it a test for preaching liberality and tolerance urging all to join heartily in the work of restoring "that sincere respect and confidence, out of which alone can como happiness and good govern m ent." Ml Birds Tamed. The Saint Augustine (la., Press has the following : "We witnessed a novel, interesting and beautiful sight, a few days ago, at the farm of Mrs. H1ildreth, situated on the North river, about two miles above the city. Mrs. Hildreth, in the course of a few months, has suc. ceeded in taming the wild birds that fly about the place, Whilo wo were in the house, Mrs. 11. went out to the door and called to the birds, which wore then in the middle of the day, in the adjoining forest, In a few me mnents ai dozen or more blue birds and mocking birds ca me flying around her.
