(Ejtjromck anD Sentinel. Wi.DNESDAY, DECEMBER 26^877. THEJTATE. THE PEOPLE AN# THE PAPERS. The Catholic /air in Maoon is pro graming finely. Gwinnett will not finish gathering her crop until after Christmas. The winter of onr discontent is some where about Christmas time. All the Methodist ministers of Macon have been retrined for another year. Wagon lotds of oranges come to Quitman. They retail at two cents apiece. Griffin engineered two or three little fights on her recent connty election. Home littfe blood spilt. Mr. BiAiDgs Wheeler and Miss Lillie ByingUo were thrown from a baggy in Oriffii And seriously injured. Among the articles raffled in Macon is a Asml-organ. A shrond is being wo-vo) for the msn that wins. In a Griffin runaway last Tuesday a fine mare was killed and a fine mule knocked down and seriously hurt. Mr. Eugene I’. Hpeer, we are glad to know, will continue with H. W. J. Ram, £*q., in the publication of the Old Capi tal. There weie six marriages lost week in Jackson connty, and still the boys talk about getting up fantastics for Christ mas. Mr. M. C. Smally died at his resi dence, at Leathersrille, Lincoln county, on last Thnrsday evening from cancer of the lungs. Hudson, Democratic nominee for Clerk of Conrt, was handsomely elected Tuesday, in Bpaldiug county, ever an In dependent. Mrs. Joseph Carrnthere, of Colum bus, died the other day, leaving an in fant one week old. Hhe was married last February. The Columbus Time* alludee to the late unpleasantness as “the revolution." How will this reconcile the Burlington 1 law key e man ? We neglected to state that Mr. W. E, Harp, editor-elect of the Conyers Ex aminer, is about to wind himself abunt his willow crayon. The Macon Telegraph says : “Only nine Senators and leas than forty of the old members of the House have been re turned to their Beats.” The young ladies of the Wesleyan Female College gave an elegant enter tainment Tuesday evening in Maoon for the benefit of their Seminary. Mr. H. L. Murray, of Lineoln coun ty, was Veeeutly thrown from his buggy but fortunately was unhurt, although bis vehicle was badly damaged. A man in Meriwether connty subsisted upon Irish potatoes alone until he paid oft' all of his debts. It is not stated that the potatoes were bought on credit. The Griffin New* deserves the appro bation of nil trnn Georgians for its manly tight at nil times and under all oircum stuncos for straight-out Democracy. Miss L. W. King, of Augusta, has re quested the Mayor and Council of Ma con to have pnt in place in one of the streets a drinking fountain for animals. The epicure of the Rome Courier names his Christmas fowl Itoaooe Conk ling, because he has all the ways of a turkey gobler, aud because his days are numbered. Rev. Geo. T. Goetchins, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Milledge ville, and Miss Pauline A. Wingfield, of Macon, were married in the latter oily last Tuesday. ■i- l-I KSONAI. AND IMI'KRSONAL.

It looks as though the Republican pariy would have to tie revictuallcd, and that mighty early. The reason they say a man who has been drunk has ‘•been on a lark," must be on account of the early rye, sir. “Moral force,” observes a philosopher, “is never lost." Isn’t, ehf You put it in a jack |>ol some lime, and see what becomes of it. Senator Davis’ parly weighs about nine times as much as Charles Francis Adams’, but when it comes to a vole the two parlies are a tie. “This,” remarked the rat terrier, when bis master had half completed the operalion •if trimming oil his listening things, “this is the off ear.” Kokomo, Indiana, is just surfeited with amusements. Monday night they had a humorous lecture, and now they have a man in jail, just about ready to hang. There is a growing tendency to create snore public holidays that should be stopped. There are so many legal holidays now that bait of the banks can’t gel a chance to fail. A young lady in Hoekport, Texas, juiup <d into lad the other night uml lay down on a huge tarantula. Hhe describes the situa tion as being most tarautuli/.ing.

We noticed a great dearth, during the fall, ! of the item about men who had raised wheat from seed found in the hand of an Egypt ian mummy, 9,000 years old.

OUR FOREIGN_FIELD GLASS. TURKEY GETS CHILLED IN HER PEACE OVERTURES. The Pane AJArf • a Mete te the Power*— Her WUll**ne** te ReeeeaMer Ceetereeee Prepeml*—Cold Cetelert fret* the Different ( •art*— England’. [nw Peeillee—T*r hey Meet* Hereetl te Defead Konmeliu. Turkey’s circnlar, addressed to the different Coarts of Europe, has been in differently received. First of all, Eng land, whom the Porte has recently ens pected of lnkewarmness in her canse, bluntly assured her that British neu tralito could not be distnrbed ; Ger many, Russia's silent partner, declined to parley in the matter, unless the Czar intimated his willingness to suffer inter vention—Germany is represented as really favoring mediation, but naturally enough declines to interfere. Austria will jealodsly defend her own interests, bat her staod-off policy io present events is unalterable, while Italy replies in a friendly manner, and expresses her self ready and willing to act in concert with other powers in favor of mediation. Turkey is evidently disconcerted at the tone of these rejoinders, which seem to point to direct treatment with her haughty foe as her only hope, and explains that erroneous interpreta tions are given to her circnlar. She as serts that she does not approach the powers as a vanquished state, since she still has two lines of defense, which the Government believes she would be able to hold. The Porte, by its circnlar, de sires to intimate its willingness to con sider the proposals made by the Con stantinople conference. As the war be gan owing to Turkey’s refusal to adhere to those proposals the Porte thinks it might be determined now ou that basis. The power most affected by events grow ing out of the Porte’s appeal is naturally England. The peace party at the Coutt of Ht. James predominates and the country is evidently opposed to any thing like nnjnst or mnecessary inter ference in a struggle which may not benefit her and may bring an avalanche of trouble upon the Kingdom. The proximity, however, of British posses sions to the victorious army and its field on conquest,(arouses something more than a polite negative to the Ottoman conciliatory aptieal. England is in terested in the Eastern struggle exactly to the extent that her |interests are en dangered,* and the same cause which Turkey fia'ttered herself would draw that power into the war before Osmanli’s standards had been retired to the bat tlements of Adrianople and ’Btamboul, is now thrown in the way to prevent the Porte effecting an advantag6ons peace. The opening of the Dardanelles and neutralization of the Danube, for in stance, which Turkey may be will ing at this juncture to couoede, are strenuously opposed by English statesmen. The British polioy has not been fully decided upon, but the uncer tainty prevailing iu tho London Cabi net, while occasioning uneasiness in the Unitod Kingdom and to Europe general ly, is not such to lay any flattering unc tion to the Moslem soul. The trouble in the Ministry arises from the personal polioy of Lord Beaconsfield through whoso influence Parliament itas been summoned for the consideration of for eign relations, three weeks earlier than the regular time of convocation. Bea consficld does not. relish the idea of leaving the settlement of Eastern com plications entirely to Russia and Tur key. The all-controlling element of British interest inserts its inviolable fig ure into the very mention of mediation, and England must forsooth, “be in at the death.” In this policy he is opposed by his colleagues of the Cabinet, who fear that his antagonism to the single handed peace may precipitate war with Russia. Whatever may be these inter nal differences, however, prominent pro vincial journals assert that England stands in no danger of war, and the ear ly assembling of Parliament which ap pears to Europe to beau unreasonable precipitancy, may operate to render British neutrality more stable, or at least render her policy more deoided. In the event that England may advise Turkey to treat directly with the Czar, as rumor says has been done, it is not supposed that the Porte will pay much attention to her, but will probably utilize her every resource -owards Strengthening Koniiiellu. This idea gains credence from the fact that Huliemau Pasha, who has jnst ar rived at Constantinople from Varna, will go to Adrianople to assume com mand of tho Roumeli&n army at that place. The withdrawal of tho troops from the garrisoned quadrilateral shows that the Balkan transit will be easily made by the Russians ns soon as the Winter breaks up. Todleben has been appointed Commander-in-Chief of tho Gzarewiteh’s army, ,110 having retired to St. Petersburg, and the first step to wards the Balkan passage is being made iD the siege of Rustehuck. It will take some time before operations on a large scale will be possible, although the movement of troops from Plevna in vari ious directions has begun. Some days must pass before the influence iu the front is felt. Threatening movements npon Erze roum were made during the first part of the week, but the effort ha# miscarried, and the deepening Winter weather has left the Russian force in a state rather deplorable. (ienrral litliawn. The French Miuistry is gliding smooth ly along. The Marshal seems to be per fectly harmonized and the oomplexion of the Government is rapidly taking a popular Republican hue. A general amnesty is about to be effected and old sores are rapidly healing up. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, at a rooep tiou the other day, of the officials of the foreign dupartnu nts, addressed them to the effect that the Republican regime was now claimed to be definitely estab lished, aud if this wbr distasteful to any of them they would do well to seek an other career. From this it would seem that the majority are in undisputed sway. An embroglio still progresses in the Italian Ministry, the character thereof partaking much of the uature of the French orisis. Bismarck has about succeeded in re modelling the Berlin Cabinet, the only hitoh now Apparent, being purely eccle siastical. The Prince will doubtless lubricate this roughness as he is all powerful in his realm. ClTjr FINANCES. A Good showing tor Augnxtn—A Having jff Nearly Thirty-three Tlioii.aud Dollars f or Elryrn Muslim— Increased Receipts. A (Jh son cut reporter had a conversa tion with Hon. John P.

The receipts have largely increased. The difference | in one item alone—business licenses— shows a difference of $13,000, the re ceipts last year being $17,0Q0 and, this year $30,000. The item of incidental expeuses last year, was $2,200; this year s6so—a difference of $1,550. Taking it altogether, the showing fa? tho eleven months is au excellent one lay Augusta.

Jesse Pumeroy Barpaased by Henry Acker* —lie .Harder* a Bey Lee* Thee Three 1 ear* Old. Boston, Mass , December 19. — Anoth er Jesse Pomeroy has made his appear ance in this city, although his crimes are not as extensive as those of the orig inal “boy fiend,” as he is familiarly known. This afternoon about three o’clock, as Mary CroDin, aged six, and her little brother John, a child two years and eight months of age, were de scending a staircase in their futher’s honso on Lennox street, they were met by Henry Ackers, a lad of between twelve and fourteen years old, who also lived in the house. Ackers said to the little girl, “I’m going to shoot one of you.” Mary replied, “I guess you won’t shoot me nor my little brother either.” Upon this young Ackers pulled out a re volver, took a cartridge out of his pock et, inserted it in one of the chambers of the revolver, pulled back the hammer, and took aim. The little fellow moved to go down stairs when the youthful as sassin fired and shot the child, who liv ed but an hour afterward. Young Ack ers immediately fled, and has, up to midnight, eluded the pursuit of the of ficers. The police here have given the impression that the shooting was acci dental, bnt the little girl, who was the only witness of the affair, tells her story in a clear and forcible manner. She also states that the boy has freqnently threatened to shoot her brother, al though no canse was assigned for the purpose. The families have been living on friendly terms, and no reason can be assigned for the murder except the love of wickedness, which was the ruling passion of young Pomeroy. m u m Whew !

The Wood imparts to tho body the elements which are essential to its ex istence. When theso are insufficiently supplied, its energies begin to flag, there is a loss of flesh, the muscles grow flaccid, the reflective powers lose vigor —every function is disturbed, every or gan weakened. Under these circum stances, it iR obvious that the constitu tion must soon give way unless the vital fluid is enriched. To accomplish this object, reoourse should be had without delay to that grand fertilizer of the blood, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which promotes assimulation of the food and is the means of rendering the oireulation rich and active. The good effects of the great tonic are speedily apparent in a gain of bodily vigor anil mental energy.

The streets, especially for the last three days, have been thronged with people from home and abroad, from city and country, purchasing holiday goods and seasonable articles. Every branch of trade has felt a renewed impetus and a Christmas-like* activity is everywhere noticeab e. A gratifying symptom of the week has been the presence of luge numbers of country wagons on the streots, bringing in cotton and carrying oat various and sundry articles in return. The nature of thii holiday trade, however, deceives no oue. It has throbbed actively along for the past two weeks and to-day will probably see it at its maximum Our merchants do not look for any continned revival after the holidays, and everything will relapse into its quiet, accustomed channel. TYade is mainly retail in character at present, but we are glad to say that such as it is, is very good. The outlook is unpromising. The deficiency of the cotton crop leaves the average fanner in a bad way. Many of them have been nnable to square up this years’ ac counts and many fioe managers, who have al ways worked independently of their factors and grocery merchants, at least until July, are even now trying to arrange for snpphes for the coming seaeon. This see ns to be the case generally in counties contiguous to Bichmond, and in the country trading mainly with Au gusta. Financial Market. Banking business is unchanged from last week. Every one seemß to be renewing notes, and;no new money appears to be coming in from cotton Bales. The market shows a contracting tendency, discounts remaining firm at 12 per cent. Exchange still sells at from }to J and | to par. There has been considerable stir iu the stock and bond markets. The new City of Augusta bonds recently placed upon the mar ket make’ all classes of Augnsta bonds firm. The decision of the Supreme Court upon the Borne bonds has also given a firmer feeling to Savannah bonds, and these securities are sought after at low prices. The proposition of the Georgia Eailroad and Banking Company to the Tort Boyal Baiiroad guaranteed bond holders, while meeting with considerable op position, is being accepted by many ; the Georgia Bailroai Company having taken up fifty thousand dollars worth up to this time. We quote Central Baiiroad stock, ex-diridend, dull at from 49 to 60. Georgia Baiiroad stock firm, 05 bid and 07 asked. Oue offer was made yesterday for one hundred shares at 65. There is a good demand for Georgia 6 per cent bondß at fu’l prices. In fact, there has been good inquiry all around for first class securities. Cotton Make!. The tono of the market yesterday was quiet aud steady, closing with middling 10}; a quiet tone has indeed been preserved all the week. A rise of prices is evidently expeoted after Christmas, judging from the stock now on hand. Notwithstanding, receipts are 35,467 bales short of last year, the Bteck is in excess of this date ’76, about 3,800 bales. Last week the difference in receipts was 85,829, showing a marked improvement this week; week before last the difference was 34,086 bales, and week before, 30,288. The Provision Market Is generally the same as last week in prices, but with a perceptible buoyanoy in separate channels. The country trade has greatly in creased, and local orders are fuller and more elaborate. Sweet-meats and delioacies are dealt in liberally, although the sultry weather greatly interferes with the dressed poultry business, always au important element in the holiday markels; there was none on the market yesterday. Movements in breadstuffs are somowhat livelier, demands for city flours being increased for the week. The millers, however, aro not sanguine at the s< asoh's outlook The freight discriminations against Augusta, which had been iu a measure alloviated. woro turned back into the same crooked by-paths by the action of the Green Lino Executive Committee receutly held in Augusta. Business was beginniug to assume a more cheorful aspect in the face of efforts to raise thiH transportation iucubus from Augus ta, but this last stroke is calculated to dis courage our millers and merchants generally. It has beeu agitatod for some days, and, in fact, a meeting is to be held to-day to facilitate direct trade between Southern cities and Onba iu tlte export of provincial staples. The con nection is to ha established by a line of steamers to be run by the Central Road from Savannah to Cuba. Could Western and North ern grain be stopped here and ground, for in stance, Augusta might build up an export busi ness in this line; and tlte same is true in other departments of business. It is on accouut of this discrimination that our millers cannot compete with Nashville and other Southern cities in buying grain and exporting flour. Miscellaneous Notes. There iB a marked improvement in the hard ware markets, trade in the staple articles con tinuing very good indeed. The dry goods trade continues veiy fine, but the holiday trade even, is thought to be lighter than last year. Iu department of notions, siks, etc., business continues very good.
