PAPER DIRECTING MAcH1sE.-We have had the
pleasure of witnessing the operation Of a new in
venton for addressing and mailing papers, the in
vention of R. Dick, Esq, of the Gospel Tribu' e,
Toronto. The invention is a very simple arrange
ment; the names being first printed on strips Of
paper, which are pasted together, and rolled on o
cylinder, from which, by very ingenious process,
they ore gummed, fed and stuck on the newspa-
pers. An immense saving in time and labor is
thus gained, and, which is more important, the
vexatious blunders of careless writing and omis-
sions is completely guarded against. We learn
that Mr.. Dick has taken the proper steps to secure

GBoRo1A.-The Legislature of Georgia assem-
bled at MUledgeville on Wednesday last. Both
Houses were organized and business porceeded
with. Gov. Brown communicated his annual
message to the Legislature. 1t is a very long
document, almost exclusively devoted to State
affairs. He recommends stringent legislation a.
gainst the abuses and e1cesses of the Banking
system, with the prohibition Of the circulation Of
all bank notes under the denomination of ten or
twenty dollars, and the adoption Of sub-treasury
system for the State Of Georgia. We see no ref.

The State Agricultural Society.

The meeting Of the Society, last evening, was
largely attended Col. A. P. Calhoun delivered
an address over an hour in length, which was lis
tened to with great attention. He took political
survey of the State and her Federal relations and
advocated strongly, what is generally understood
by extreme messures-lookiug to disunion and
Southern existence out Of the present Union. He
appealed to history to demonstrate that nations Of
Southern cline were never deficient in energy
and those traits which combine to constitute
greateness Of nationality. The speech was fire.

published by the Society, we shall make no fur

The Fair.

The crowd still increases, and Columbia is now
to overaowing. Articles are still coming in for
exhibition. The various departments are we'll
filed, and afford much interest to those who sp-
preciate the fine, the perfect and the beautiful.
The exhibition of stock, and the department Of
horticulture and field crops, is we think, the best
we have yet had. The fine display of apples from
North Carolina attracts much notice-they are
from the nursery of Mr.. westbrook, near Green's
boro. The machinery was at the time of our visit,
not in running order, so that this department
could not be judged. In the picture gallery, We
saw some fine specimens Of the fine arts-oil
paintings and photographs are executed with re-
markable artistic skill and appreciation. Among
the oil paintings, we observed three that attracted
particular attention. One, prairie scene, with
cattle In the foreground, resting lazily on the
grass-covered sward, with graceful mountain ac-
clivties in the prospective, by lady Of Columbia.
A second, a very beautifully executed copy, by
another lady of Columbia; it represented diap-
idated castle, with water view, and cattle in
front. The other is winter scene, with cracking
ice and crusted snow, which you can almost hear
breaking beneath the feet. This is by Mr.. Do
villiers
This, very probably, will be the most success
full Fair we have yet had. 1t has certainly drawn
to Columbia a much larger attendance than we
have yet had.
1t were invidous to particularize the admirable
collection Of good things in the Household DEPART
ment, which are worthy of the most extended no.
tice; but the committee have yet to act upon them,
and we waive our prerogative as to them and other
matters We cannot, however, avoid saying that
our ladies have shown that domestic comforts are
the staple support Of home enjoyment. Where
can there be found such an assortment Of the good
things of life We defy any approach to it else.
where. We cannot particularize, but we must say
that in the house keeping department, the Fair is
most particularly successful. In the future, We
anticipate that this department will take the lead.
While we thus notice the substantials Of life, we
must say that the handiwork Of the needle is also
entirely successful. The articles Of fine work
are not more numerous than last year, but they
are much in advance and exhibit most commend
able advancement beyond previous years.
In the central saloon are numerous; attractive
objects, showing remai kable progress in this de-
partment. In fine needle work, crotchet, crewel

COMPARISON OF TAX BILLs.-Comptrolle Gen
era Thewea,t, Of Georgia. in his late report, thus
reports the tax bills Of several States:
With the slight glance have been able to give
the Tax Acts. within my reach, of several South
ern States, find that in South Carolina, upon
lands in cities, towns, villages, boroughs &c., the
tax is 12h cents on the $780, and upon other lands
it is co cents on the $780, and slaves pay 10 cents
per head. In Kentucky, real and personal estate
is taxed at II cents on the $780, In Texas, 129
cents on the Sl0O. In Mississippi, l6 cents on
the S100 on land, 20 cents on money, &C., and 40
cents on each slave. In Arkansas, l6s cents on
the 500. In Florida, l6s cents on the Sl00. In
Virginia, 40 cents on the 500 on real ard per-
sonal estate, and S120 on each slave. In Ala
bama 90 cents on the 500 on real estate and
other property, so cents on the Sl00 on money at
interest, and an average tax of 60 cents on each
slave, (those between 16and 80 years of age being
81 10 each, while in Georgia, the tax on land and
slaves, aud other property, (except bank and rail
road capital is now but I cents on the SlO0I
It will, therefore, be seen, that while the per
cent. tax in South Carolina and Texas is near
double of that Of Georgia, the per cent Of the
other States named are more than double that Of
Georgia; and in Alabama, it is nearly three times
larger, while in Virginia, upon real and personal
estate, it is more than FIVE times larger than In
Georgia.
In Ohio, the per cent.-3l cents on the 500
is four times larger and in Illinois, the per cent
ta1-67 cents on the $100-is nearly nine times
more than il is in Georgia.

upon the orator. The little boys stopped crack
ing their dirty peanuts the crowd about the door
whspered-"ook there" and were dead with
listening; and the orator, the hero, the candidate,
relaxed his emhrace-the colors dropped from his
manly breast-the stripes were suffered to tangle
themselves around his legs-and the scene was

amounting, so overwhelming and weighty-it was
painfully evident that nothing less than this most

brought the needed relief. Either the assemblage
must shout or they must die, and shouting was
easiest by some ninety or hundred per cent
