They left town Thursday morning to kill,cook and cat Thanksgiving dinners did not make a success, yet they claim to have had a jolly time. They went to Mr. Oartledgo’s farm, six miles east of here. On their way they met sixty- four vehicles coming to Columbus, and on inquiry it was ascertained that most of them wore carrying visitors to the circus. On the return one of the party ran his buggy into an ox cart, which resulted in a bill of repairs. On the hunting ground the party was divided into two squads. The two doctors and the hunter being one, and our senior taking the balance into his squad. It was agreed that all should return to the farm house at 12 o'clock m., whore the game was to bo proparod and barbecued. Squad No. 2 returned promptly, with one rabbit and a wood-poeker. The bird was killed by a Bank man who in sisted that it was a yellow hammer, but ho could’nt deceive his fellow hun ters. Not having sufficient game for a decent barbecue, the squad waited un til 1:60 r. m., for squad No. 1 to appear, hoping they would make a bettor showing ; but having waited in vain, they decided to lunch and in doing so, eat up all the viands except a few pieces of bread. They then went forth again, and at 6 i\ m., returned und found that squad No. 1. had come in and were making a dinner on Worces tershire sauce, boiled eggs and light bread. This party brought in twenty- four birds of all varieties from the tiny sparrow to the majestic owl. Disgust- od with hunting, tho party returned to the city and invested their spare change In circus tickets. The weather was cold and windy, and tho birds would’nt light on the trees, are tho rea sons, as given, for not making a suc cess of the Thanksgiving hunt.

Wednesday night, about 11 o’clock, some unknown persons stole Judge McElvy’s yoke of oxen, hitched them to his wagon containing throe bales of cotton and startod for Columbus. The colored people in that community, (about ten miles southeast of HiIh place, in Chattahoochee ^county) were having services that night near Judge Mc Elvy’s, which had just broken up, and the colored minister, hearing the wagon rolling across a Held near the above named gentleman’s house, informed some one on the premises of tho fact, as it was an unusual hour for such an occurrence. Immediately every body was moused and wont ill quest of the thieves. They soon overtook the team, but those in possession hearing them coming made their escape. The cotton was placed on tho wagon Wed nesday preparatory to coming to this market Thursday, which intention was carried out, notwithstanding the futile attempt at stealing.

The streets were crowded with people while the circus procession was passing. The steam calliope and the band stirred up the natives. That circus took off ^1,500 from Columbus and spent little. Religious services wore held at the Episcopal ami implUt churches. At the latter the Presbyterian and Method ist congregations united and Rev. Dr. A. B. Campbell preached. 'Pile banks closed as nearly as thoy could. Post office and telegraph offices observed Sunday hours. Tho day was equal to Christmas if one judged from the number of drunken men on the streets. We seen at least a dozen drunk on Broad street before 12 o’clock. They wore generally quiet drunks. There were several minor skirmishes near the circus among the negroos, but none save the “shooting match,” which we publish to-day. of any impor tance. NEW NAMPLES FOK FALL ami WINTER, 1877 and 1878.

Joseph’s store, because a certain person said, “Take it back.” Wo had no idea what was said by the other “one' cause any wrangle, nor do we know yet. There is one thing, however, that we are fully advised about, and that is tho driver said to his horses, “take it back,” or back, meaning that the animals should back their load up to the sidewalk. Now as tho noble animals were obeying, the white or gray one caught her underlip in the breast chain. This was painful to her mid she began to rear back. Well, it demonstrated the well known fact (we might say adage! that when persons have too much “lip,” they have to “go hack on” it or “take it hack," and that was ths trouble with the horse. He arrived about 4 o’clock Thursday morning, in company with two friends, and had been fifteen hours coming. He was a tall, bony fellow*, with his pants stuck in a pair of red- tep boots, and was first seen on the Georgia Home corner smoking a cheroot. Meeting some city acquaint ance, he drank his health In old rye ; and tho trouble was, he met too many whoso health had to be drank. At noon he was happy as a lord, and at dark he began to feel drowsy. All du ring the day he would ejaculate: “Come boys, let’s take something— come seventy-five miles to see the show and am bound to have some fun.” About six o’clock his friends advised him to go and get shaved before going to the circus, which he concluded to do. He entered, and after being seated said, “Shave mo quick fur we (hie) going to the show.” The barber finished tho job, but while the shaving was going on Morpheus had wound liis arms about him and ho could not bo awakened. They succeeded in getting him in another chair, and about mid night he was aroused and insisted that lie must see the show, and not until he visited the grounds would he believe that they had gone. “Cum seventy-five miles to see the show and then not see it. Well, durn my buttons if I don’t see that ere show if it takes my whole crop.” The last seen of him he was on an old grey mule crossing tho lower bridge. Do to J.

Few men of this day have exhibited as much pluck and enterprise in busi ness as Dr. Tutt, of Now York, tho pro prietor of Tutt’s Liver Pills. In a few yours he lias built up a business of vftHt proportions, and made his name a household word all over the land. Ad vertising agents say that he has paid tho press this year over one hundred thousand dollars, and that the demand for his medicines is enormous, both in foreign countries and at home. The New York papers report the shipment from that port in one day of a “ton of Tutt’s Pills.” Think of it; two thou- sand pounds of Pills ! From this great success our merchants and manufac turers may learn a useful lesson. If thoy have an article of true merit—no humbug—let everybody know it through the medium of printer’s ink, and success Is sure. It is true it re quires pluck, but “none hut tho brave deserve the fair.” More Dr. Tutts and hard times will disappear us rapidly as disease vanishes before his most ex cellent medicine.

On Thursday afternoon about live o’clock, and just after tho circus per formance was over, two of tho Colum bus policemen became involved in a difficulty and used their pistols without any apparent cause. Many rumors were afloat as to the cause. and result of tlie difficulty, and after laboring hard the better part of yestarday our reporter thinks he lias it about right. We will give as near as possible tlie statement of tlie parties involved, and tlie only witness wc could hear that saw it. Tlie reporter first called on Mr. John L. Jackson, at his home on upper Broad street. Mr. J. is a gentle man about thirty-five yoars of age and has a wife and two or three interesting children. He talked with remarkable ease for a wounded man. POLICEMAN J. L. JACKSON’S STATEMENT. Hackney and ho had always been tlie best of friends; bad no grudge or any thing whatever against H., and sup posed H. had none against him; was walking witli H. between the horse tent and jnil fenco, when H. commenced cursing iiim, Buying, “I'll whip you,” when lie replied, “I want no difficulty, but no inan can do that." H. said,“I’ll show you,” (still cursing); threw his club down and drew a pistol, cocking it and pointing toward J. J. said, “this is nonsense; I’ve nothing against you, and want no difficulty; if you are going to shoot mo, do it.” H. then put up his pistol, laughing as he did it, whereupon J. walked back with him to pick up club. After picking up tlie club, H. began cursing him again. J. said that ho was not afraid of him, but wanted no difficulty—tills being about the sixtli time that he had said this. H. then struck him in the face with pistol and club in right hand; J. jumped I lack out of his reach; then 11. ahot him in the aide, and cocked ilia pistol and snapped, but the pistol did not lire, cooked and shot, when J. shot—these last being nearly simultaneous. 11. shot again, but missed. During this time J. wus attempting to cock liis pistol, but on account of soino defect, it would not rovolve until H. had shot three times and snapped once, then J. shot and walked away. During tlio shoot ing tlie men connocted witli the circu; told Jackson to run, us his pistol would not revolve. Mr. Comer, the jailer, walked to Simons’ corner with him where they met Mr. Jno. Bowen, who nsked "what’s the matter?" Mr. C. re plied. “Jackson lias killed Hackney and was justified in doing so.” IIo then began to fool weak and asked to be held up, gave liis pistol to Bowen and was carried to Mr, Gager’s room, where ho roinaiued until tills morning, wlion lie was carried to ills home. Said if H. hud not boon drinking the diffi culty would not have occurred. He said they hud no words or any unploos- ant feelings towards each other before tho difficulty, but were tlie best of friends. JACKSON’S WOUNDS. Mr. J. received two wounds, one in the right side and the other near the right shoulder, from which he has suf fered a great doal. Tlie reporter mot MR. FRANK COMER at tlie court house and obtained his statement, which is us follows: Did not see the parties more than twenty or thirty seconds before tlie fir ing commenced; my attention was called to it by some boys, who came to mo and snitl two policemen are quar relling, then walked towards thorn; thoy were walking betwen the jail fence and the horse tent of the circus with their arms locked; knew they woro talking, but couldn’t hear what was said; H. suddenly pulled away and said something, J. replied ; II. put liis club in loft hand and drew a pistol, then put club and pistol in right hand; II. made an assertion, J. disputed it, when H. struck Him with club and pistol (both in right hand) on the head; J. jumped hack, H. aimed pistol at him; J. said, “Don’t shoot;” tlie pistol failed to tire, when ho cocked it again and shot; J. drewa pistol and shot II. They were then getting on a lino with Mr. C., and lie retreated behind tlie cornor. Ho thinks there were live shots fired, all told. F0L1CEMAN HENRY HACKNEV was called upon and told the reportor the following: "One of the showmen was abusing tlio policemen and mo especially, mid wo were quarreling, when J. intorferred and tlie shooting commenced ; don’t know who struck first: botli of us had been drinking ; ltad no grudge against J. at all, and considered him my friend, was tlie host friend J. had in Columbus.” X\ r o woro reliably informed that a member of Cole's circus knocked H. down and stamped his Iieud. Mr. II. informed tlie reporter that ho was knocked down by one of them, after being shot, and that tlio fellow stamp- pod him. hackney's wound. Mr. Hackney has a wife and four children in the lower portion of tlie oity, where he now is. Ho received two wounds from n pistol, onojust below tlie breast bone, which, however, is only a flesh wound and of vory lltlle consequence; the other is a mere “track” of a bullet across tlie tomple. Tltesc are ills only wuunds, which are not dangerous and he will doubtless be out in a weok or two. From all we can gather they were botli under tlie influence of whiskey which was tlie prime cause of the dlffl culty. the influence of whiskey it 1* better for ; them to practice on each other. It Is i useless to say the act is denounced by all, that the city government is not In the least responsible or to be blamed, and that a judicial investigation will follow as soon as the parties are well enough. Marin Cm.Ii. There were so few persons to hear Messrs. Miller and Grimes at the Jack sonville court grounds, last Monday, that they agreed not to speak, MASH MEETING SATURDAY.

Miller, Wm. P. Webb and R. M. XVilliams, managers, published a card that the votes polled on October 6th for representative from Macon county between Howell T. Hollis and Joel F.

The object of tho meeting, as stated by tlie Presiding Elder, at Clowers next Thursday, is to hear a sermon, pay the preacher, eat a good dinner and talk about moving the Camp-ground from tlie old place nearPiney Woods Grocery to C'ntaula.

Tlie dams of Mr. Columbus Layfleld' und Mr. Sands wore washed away by tlie floods of last week. Layfield’s gin was considerably damaged. Friday, a son of J. T. Williams, Esq. of Hamilton, narrowly escaped deatli from falling from a wagon. Tlie above are condensed from the Hamilton Journal.

It is strange how crowded two young men will niako the largest parlor seem on Sunday evening. —The great big sticks of licorice that used to sell for ten cents are now down to fi ve, witli an increase of gravel stones to sharpen teeth on. P" Thursday cotton receipts were 570 bales, and shipments 38. AH the receipts, oxcopt 48, wore by wagons. —The circus ltad a horrid calliope— steam organ—the poorest we ever hep - d. —Not all the powers of a colored church government can keep brothers and sisters from going to a circus, nor white ones either, as for that matter. A countryman coming through the court house yard drew a pistol and fired for amusement towards the walk. It created somo little excitement, but we don’t think lie was arrested. Thursday was a very cold day. The circus procession was seen bv thou sands, and the attendance on tlie show was good. Many ladies were present at night, though the atmosphere was freezing. ■As the Mobile and Girard train was departing witli Cole’s circus a calf concluded to cross the track in spite of the engine, the pilot caught it and after turning around several times it was thrown fully ten feet without injury. —Next Wednesday every man can vote to liis heart'B content.

Indeed, it is no ordinary discovery in medical science to have invented it remedy for those stubborn complaints, which de volop all the results produced by t heretofore free use of calomel, a min eral justly dreaded by mankind, and acknowledged to be destructive in the oxtremo to the human system. That tlie properties of certrin vegetables comprise all the virtues of calomel without its injurious tendencies, is now tin admitted fact, rendered indisputa-: ble by scientific researches; and those who use the Mandrake Fills will be fully satisfied that the best medicines aro tiiose provided by nature in the common herbs and roots of the fields.
