Ford Amateur Association give their performance at the Theatj-e this evening for the benefit of the St. Joseph’s Infirmary, and from all the indications we predict there will be a crowded house. A fine programme has been adopted, and an entertainment of rare excellence may be ex pected. The rehearsals have been most satisfactory, and the Amateurs will un doubtedly reflect credit upou themselves this evening, as they have on previous occa sions. Tlie Infirmary is one of the best in stitutions in the city, and we trust a goodly sum will be realized. The performance ih;s evening will open with a charming drama entitled “The Maid en’s Sacrifice,” followed by an olio, and the “Veteran Volunteers,” a most capitally written sketch, by the gallant Captain of the Volunteers, and will conclude with the “Rivals.” The full strength of the associa tion will be brought out iu this programme and our citizens may rest assured they will witness an entertainment which will reflect hojjor upou the association, and ^hich can be viewed with no little degree of local pride. A Lively Hon About Board. The vicinity of the Central Railroad wharf Saturday morning was highly enter tained by a combat between an Irishman, on one side, aud a constable, aided by a land lord of a boarding house, on the other, It was suspected that the Irishman was going off on the steamship City of Savannah with out paying his board bill, and so his land lord sent the constable after the de faulter. Th« letter, however, declined to be arrested, and a lively fight ensued, during which the IJiijemian was con siderably used up. lit g’as rolled over in the dust, which, miugied with the Mood that flowed freely from a scratch qd his face, so completely changed the usually amiable expression of his” counte nance as to render him beyond the recogni tion of his best friends. . He was, however, finally overpowered, bound and carried off iu a wagon triumphantly to jail. Ilcturard Home.

A friend furnishes us with the following particulars of the individual military con test at the Macon State Fair on Thursday, in which our Savannah Cadets participated: “A squad of five (5) men each from the Gate City Guards of Atlanta, Dahlonega Cadets of the Agricultural College, the Savannah Cadets aud Macon Volunteers were drawn up in line for drill. It was understood by the different squads drilling that if the orders were not dis tinctly heard their members could re tain their places. The drill commenced with Capt. Dudignon, of the Milledge- ville Cadets, and Lieut. Ellis, of the United States Army, acting as judges. Af ter 6ome time a member of the Gate City Guards was dropped, but was reinstated without any cause or reason. After a short while the rauks were thinned by two of the Gate City Guards being dropped out, fol lowed In a member of the Dablonega Ca dets. The drill continuing. Private E. Derby, of the Savannah Cadets, was ordered out, thus leaving only four to tight for Sa vannah’s honor. Derby was followed quickly bj’ three of the Dahlonega Cadets. After some rest the drill was resumed and aMaconite retired. Then followed two of the Gate City Guards, leaving one man to battle lor the fair name of Atlauta. The last man of the Dahlonega company was ordered out, thus leaving the battle to Sa vannah, Atlanta and Macon. “ Then came Corporal Mell, of the Savan nah Cadets, the little band of Savannah heroes having dwindled down to three. He was quickly followed by a Macon Volunteer, ieayinr three Savannah Cadets, one Gate City Guard and one Macon Volunteer, Pri vate Edwards. After tome rest the squad was ordered to fall in and the contest was renewed. Corporal Lovell, of the Savannah Cadets, was ordered out, who was followed quickly by Corporal Dasher, who was averse to leaving his fellow comrade stand ing ‘in the cold and alone.’ Then came the tug of war, Atlanta, Macon and Sa vannah all wishing that their champions would t*e winner. After a stubborn fight, Private Win. *«*. IJaig, of the Gate City Guards, was thrown ‘out. Again did Macon and riayapnah tussle tbr the victory, and a protracted struggle was the result. “Corporal E. \V. Cubbedge, of the Savan nah Cadets, owing to slowness in drilling (his only faulty was ordered out, thus leaving Private \\\ P. Edwards, of the Macon Volunteers, victor, after one of the best contests ever keen hj Middle Georgia.” Pink Domino*. On the 6th instant Savannah will be fa- voted with an engagement for three nights of one of Manager Ford’s excellent compa nies—burlesque. Entirely new’plays will be presented, among them the society drama, “Pink Dominos,” which was a great favorite in N«.w York for months, and drew large houses. Abounding in wit and laughable situations, it takes with the most exacting audience from the very first, especially, says the Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist, if it is played by actors of as much merit as those who tilled the respective roles last night. Mrs. Blanche Ford, nee Chapman, is ope of those sparkling, vivacious actresses whose talents would redeem even the dull est play, but when she appears in such a really charming comedy as that beiore us, she is irresistible. Her Lady Maggie Wag staff was one of those delightful bits of naturalness that takes away even the sem blance of acting, while in itself the per fection of acting. Miss Helen Stuart was exceedingly clever as Sophia. Miss Bello MacKongie’s Rebecca was excellent. Miss Adelaide Detcbon as Mrs. Joskin Tubbs divided the honors of the evening with Mrs. Ford. She is an actress of talent, and fills the character assigned her with much grace and spirit. Joskin Tubbs, the observed of all observers, was admirably personated by Mr. George VV. Denham, who is undoubt edly a comedian of fine talents. The CharlesGavthorue of Mr. W. L. Dennis, the Sir Percy Wat.staff of Mr. Frank Conually, the Henrv or Mr. John Beibert, and the Brisket of Mr. VV. H. Bokee, was each capi tally rendered. The madrigal boys diverted the audience in the Interlude with several songs. The performance concluded with a musi cal farce, in which Mrs. Ford and Mr. Denham again delighted the audience. Mrs. Ford has a very sweet voice aud sings with fine effect. THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE. Last Kick of Expiring Radicalism, Below we give the full text of the circular of the Radical Corkerites, which is being secretly circulated among the colored voters throughout the district. As some curiosity has been expressed by Democrats to see this remarkable Radical document, and as the Corker organ refrains from giving it to its readers, Ignoring the existence of Radical party in Georgia, we print the docu ment in full, signatures and all, in order that our Democratic friends who are sup porting Capt. Corker may know who are their allies in this war upon the Democratic party, and duly appreciate their aid : TO THE COLORED VOTERS OF CHATHAM COUN TY AND THE FIRST CONRES3IONAL DISTRICT OF GEORGIA. On next Tuesday, the 5th day of No vember, occurs the election for members Congress. To vote at of election iy is a priceless boon, the assertion of and the guarantee and security for your new-found liberty and citizenship, and as such it is a sacred duty which you should never fail to perform. The ballot is the distinctive badge of your freedom and the exercise of the right which it confers is the chief title to your claim to be free American citizens. In order that your rights should be recognized by all political parties you must assert them at the ballot box, and to insure proper respect and proper treatment of yourselves you must vote against men or parties who would attempt to deprive you of them or restrict you in their exercise and for the men who are willing to concede them to you and protect you in their peaceful en joyment.

Corker. Let no false friend persuade you to cast your ballots for Col. Nicholls, the candidate of the Democracy. Let not money buy your God-given right in the exercise of your own private judgment, to vote for the can didate of your choice; and as you value your rights, as you cherish your interests and hope for better times in the future, let your choice be Stephen A. Corker, the can didate of the Independent Greenback Labor party, and the friend of the poor man and working man, without regard to color. You are not required to pay any poll tax or to register, but can vote without doing either. Let the colored nien of old Chat ham and tlie First Congressional district then do their duty, and when the polls close on Tuesday, the 5th of November. Stephen A. Corker, your friend and the friend of poor men everywhere, will £>e triumphantly elected to Congress. You know us as colored men who have ever been true to the interests of our people, and as Republicans who never flinched nor faltered in the troublous times of the past in upholding the banner of Republicanism— now folded away in this district, when it floated on the breeze, and we again counsel and exhort you to vote on election day for Stephen A.

About half-past seven o’clock last. • difficulty occurred on Broughton street, near Drayton, between two young men, who, it is stated, had heretofore been friends. After some hard words had been passed a proposi tion was made by one to adjourn to the lane to settle the dispute by fisticuffs, and thither they repaired. They had hardly entered the lane, it is reported, before one o'f them,who, it would appear, had a knife in his hand, made a savage assault on the other, cutting him twice ou the head, and then fled.

Fellow Countrymen—I have been ia formed by a few of my coantrymen (in kindness and friendship I believe; that my fellow countrymen are somewhat embittered towards me. And why? Because, forsooth, I stand staunch and true to the party and political principles of my father for over a quarter of a century: true to the party and principles of my countrymen in America for perhaps a half century; true to the party that, whilst I was still In swaddling clothes, protected the Irish exile and his children from political ostracism: true to the party that crushed out of existence that basest of political monsters, Know-Nothingism; and because, as an ex- Confederate and a Southern Irishman, I am true to the party that endeavored to protect us from the Cromwellian perfidy of the Radi cal North, the protected tyranny ot the thiev ing carpet-bagger and the indefensible treachery of that infamous nondescript, the Scalawag; true to the party that has used and still u»es its utmost powers te preserve inviolate the Constitution of our country and lastly, because I am true to the party 'to which mod of you were true a nhort time since. Or, perhaps it is because having had placed in my hands an extract from the Waynes boro ' Expositor, of August the 15th last, with the information that it was from the pen of S. A. Corker, over the nom de plume ot “Africa,” which scurrilous article charg es the mass of my countrymen and yours with being beneath the negroes in ignorance and outstripping them in assassinations, hon.se- bumings, etc. And all this with a view of ousting from a political office a one-armed Irish ex-Confederate soldier. Because I had written to that Irish Confederate soldier asking him who wrote the article referred to, and because I told my countrymen, to whom I read tbe article, that if I was not reasonably convinced that Mr. Corker wrote it I would do him (C.) the justice to publicly so state; and if, on tbe other hand, I should obtain reasonable proofs that the man who, a few nights ago, in the Theatre, claimed to be the grandson of an Irishman, was the author ot so untrue, un just and base a libel on my countrymen (and on his claimed progenitors), then would I, as a matter of right and justice to Irishmen, publish them. Because I have placed these, which I conceive to be reason able proofs, iu the hands of the editor of the Morning News, without comment from me, but left them to the uninfluenced judg-‘ ment of my countrymen. And now, fellow-countrymen, in con clusion, I beg leave to state that 1 am no politician, nor do 1 intend to become one. 1 am neither influenced nor controlled in my actious or political views by any ring or clique. I want no po litical gilt either from iny countrymen or my American fellow-citizens. 1 do want, how ever, to see my countrymen remembered, ac cording to their political strength, in the distribution of political gifts. I have never asked any one to vote my way, nor do 1 now ask any one. I think the “National Greenback Labor Reform Party” is a Yan kee Radical dodire or contrivance gotten up for the purpose of upsetting us here in the South,aud by my faith 'tis doing so to some extent. Many good and honest men have swallowed the ulluring bait, hook and all, without (1 fear; taking time to examine it, aud I think that they will, ere long, find they have been deceived. I, of course,have a right to these opinions, hence 1 offer no apologies for them. Every American citizen has a right to vote as he pleases. I expect to exercise, un trammelled, that privilege. Let all of you do the same. Irishmen, vote ! Enjoy the proud privi lege of a franchise which a generous Democ racy gave and preserved to you, even though it be to wound the donor. It is your privilege. Iloping that you will use it wisely, as I know you will use it honestly, I remain, as ever, The well-wisher of my countrymen, D. J.'Foi.m.

Foley, Esn., Savannah : Dear Sir—Yours of the 26th to hand this evening, and contents noted. In reply I will state that the communication referred to (“Africa” • was published in the Erj/ositor of this place last August (the 15th, 1 think), and was written and handed to the editor by Stephen A. Corker, the present aspirant for Congress in this (the First; district.

A. Corker saw fit, covertly, to accuse me of detaining prisoners in custody at the expense of the county, and did so in public print, without a shadow of truth or justice. I inclose you his article and my reply, so j*ou can judge for j’ourself of its truthfulness.* I am thus particular to show how little cause he had for his attack, and more especially his scur rilous attack on my nationality and religion, as he did under the guise of “Africa,” and was brought out by the sentence “Incen diary and thieving negroes” in m3’ com munication. You will see by’ read ing it that “Africa” has placed the Irishman far below the negro—even as incendiaries and thieves, raiders, etc. (You can also see that he says he gave the negro preachers “a good square meal,” but then they were not Catholic, “ and imported THE FLORIDA SHIP CANAL. Arrival or Major Mahon and His Surveying Party. Major Charles Mahon, ot the United States Engineers, left our city on Saturday for Florida, to commence the surveys in tended to determine the practicability of the proposed ship canal connecting the At lantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. Major Mahon is proceeding under in structions from General Q. A. Gillmore, of the Engineer Corps, C. S. A., and is pre pared to make a thorough and exhaustive survey of the section of country indicated. He is a thorough engineer, a man of ability and extensive experience, and his surveys and subsequent reports upon the same will be anticipated with intense interest. This proposed canal, in the event of its ac complishment by the government, will be of incalculable benefit to our whole country, and the local advantages to be derived from its construction and operation can hardly be estimated. This enterprise, in a general way. has fre quently been presented to the public. Among its most earnest and persistent advocates was the late Col. P. H. Raiford, of St. Mary’s, Ga., whose articles on this subject have frequently appeared in these columns and been read with interest. This ship canal across the peninsula of Florida is but a connecting link, as it were, of the general plan for a grand inland canal along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. Major Mahon evinced his engineering fore sight in collecting such information as was obtainable on this subject, and which could be made available in the prosecution of his work, as preliminary to the commencement of his surveys. Our fellow-townsmen, Gen. McLaws and Capt. M. B. Grant, who have for a long time evinced great interest in, apd paid con siderable attention to, this subject, were both in conference with Major Mahon dur ing his stay here. Captain Grant's experience as an engineer, and his official connection with the survey of the Okefenokee swamp aud surround ing country have given him rare opportuni ties for studying and familiarizing himself with the subject. We hope that the results attained by the survev’s of Major Mahon will demonstrate the practicability of the proposed work and thus lead to its ultimate accomplishment. A Murderous Assault on a Mother- In-Law aud Wile. The neighborhood of Perry and Drayton streets was, on Saturday morning, between nine and ten o’clock, thrown into a tumult of excitement b3’ the rumor that a negro man had beaten his wife and mother-in-law to death with a base ball bat. The rumor spread rapidly, and was soon in circulation throughout the city. Upon investigation we ascertained that there was some founda tion for the rumor, ani that tbe following were the particulars of the alleged murder: Andrew Bowles, a colored longshoreman, has an upper room In a house on the corner of Perry street lane and Drayton street, where he lives with his wife and mother-in- law. For some time past Bowles and his wife have lived unhappily, aud their domes tic affairs have been enlivened b3’ frequent quarrels and fights, and a short time since he was arrested and committed to jail by Magistrate Woodhouse for beating his wife, but was subsequently released. Saturday^ morning he commenced quar reling with his wife, and becoming excited varied the proceedings by beating her, when that female showing some ob jection to such treatment, Bowles seized a ease knife from the table aud cut her se verely in the temple and in the neck. His mother-in-law, Jane Prince, who was in the room, was incensed at this conduct and interfered, and endeavored to protect her daughter. Bowles, v/ho was by this time perfectly furious, 6Cixed a clothes horse aud smashed it to pieces over the dame, following up this attaek by strik ing her a terrible blow over the head with a base ball bat, knocking her down. A colored boy on the premises, attracted by the row, bounced upon the scene and sought to sta3’ the infuriated negro, when he was turned upon with savage fury by Bowles, aud in order to save himself had to jump from the balcony to the ground below. t|Bowles then ran out of the room leaving the two women lyiug on the floor almost un conscious, and weltering in their blood. Information was sent to the barracks and Policeman McQuade was promptly dis patched to the scene, but Bowles had ob tained the start and notwithstanding a dili gent searoh, managed to elude detection until late Saturday night,when he was arrest ed by Officer Folliard and lodged in the bar racks. The women arc seriously but not fatall3' injured. Family Marketing. About the only change w^ y D f note in tho^narke* Saturday was the increase in the quantity of game offered. There was sufficient suppl3’ of wild ducks, including raft, English, teal and summer ducks. With the exception of the Eaglish, which sold for $1 25 per pair, all these brought 75c. per pair. The prices of other game offered are as follows: Doves, quail and snipe, per pair, 25c.; woodcock, 70c.; cat squirrels, apiece, 20c.; hares, 25c. There was the usual abundant supply of fish, with prices unchanged. Some flounders were offered at 12}^c. per pound. The prices of chickens were somewhat lower, hall grown being 65c. per pair; three- quarters grown, 75c. Ducks, also, were a little lower, muscovies bringing $1 00(S; $1 25 and English $1 00 per pair. For turke3s, hens commanded $2 00@ $2 25, gobblers $2 50@4 50 per pair, and a hen and gobbler $2 50@$3 00. Guineas were offered at 60@75c. per pair, geese $2 00(«2 25. In the vegetable lines, butter beans’were 15oiJOc. per quart; tomatoes, okra and artichokes 10c. per quart. There was an ample supply and fully equal to the demand. The prices of meats remained unchanged, though there was some beef offered at 10c., the ruling price being 12J^@15c. In the fruit line little \7i*5 uttered except apples, \rbiuh Drought the usual prices. There were some oninges, but being those known as dropped oranges, are not worthy of quotation. — Notice to Cigarette Smokers.

I see by the Savannah News of last Sat urday that Mr. Corker, in his speech the night previous, stated that his grandfather was an Irishman. 1 hope he was not. At least he was not from the “ bogs of Allen.” And if Irish at all, he certainly must be a North of Iteland Orangenum r as the history of the Corkers here are that they ever and always were torys.

Not only do the potent botanic ingredients combined with tbe alcoholic of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters minister to the health and vigor of those who use it. but the basis—pure old rye. the finest and most salubrious liquor distilled, is no mean promoter of a healthful condition of the digestive organs. Its presence in the Bitters is essential to preserve their vegetable con stituents from fermentation, and it unques tionably augments their remedial value. Few medicinal preparations ot a proprietary na ture have ever received such strong commen dations from medical men. nov4-M,W,F<fcwlt WARDS NOT REPORTED. Pulaski, Western and Southwestern ’ Calhoun.

SPECIAL NOTICE For two years past a notorious New Jersey Bogus Manufacturer has been drawing Soui h- era trade by offering a few styles of cheap in struments at low prices. The reputation thus gained has enabled him to sell his better grades at actually higher prices than legitimate deal ers git. W e pledge ourselves unreservedly to furnish better low priced instruments than his for the same money, and to undersell him largely in all other styles. It shall never be truly saiu while we are in the trade that Southern buyers could not purchase from a Southern Hou~e as cheap as at the North. An unprejudiced com parison of our instruments and prices will satisfy any one that money can actually be saved by buying from us. Don't take it for granted that Southern Music Dealers can't compete with Northern prices. It’s a grand mistake. We can do it and not half try.
