Spencer as a candidate for Mayor. The citizens of Atlanta Lave much to be thankful for, when reviewin' the results of the late election. A good ticket of Aldormen has been secured, and we may bo reasonably assured of a good government for the ensuing year. There will hardly be an opprsitson ticket put into the field, and we predic t for the nom inated candidates a pleasant “walk over the course” on the 4th of December next.

The circus men must havo had a notion that the war had broken out again. Tho LaGrange Reporter of the 24th says that on last Tuesday, in Troup county, Mr. N. G.

The loss is not less than $1,000, and may reach $5,000. Both the burnings are supposed to have resulted from the stioe cause—the careless dropping of a match iu*o the cotton. Miscellaneous.
