Cotton.— lt is expected our cotton market will Open at 24 cents this morning. It is hard to rule the old King much below that figure. A great deal of fencing was washed away **°"S th ‘‘ Ocmulgec, below the city, during the lat.- freshet. Mr. Lane lost fifty or sixty cords of line wood from his yard below the city. Wc are glad to sec the Lanier House again filled with people and doing a fine business. It is the finest constructed hotel in the Southern States, and then; is really no good reason why it should not lie well kept up. Katino Moi.se at Jonesboro.— Mr. Johnson still keeps up the well earned reputation of his Eating House. Passengers on the Macon & West ern Railroad will always find good meals at this house—good old-fashioned cooking, such asulwayg pleases. Give him a call. Country Merchants, who may wish anything in the line of Dry Goods, Boots, Shoes, Clothing, and Notions, should drop in at the New York Store- Nos. 45 aud 47 Triangular Block, Second street, in spect the heavy stock, and find out prices before purchasing. Postponement. —We are rather pleased than Otherwise, that Skiff & Gaylord’s Troupe of Minstrels should have remained orei* one night longer at Columbus, at the request of many fami li*'«, and not exhibited on last Saturday evening in Macon. It will he seen by reference to the adver tisement elsewhere, that they will open tMs even ing at Ralston Hall, instead of Concert Hall. Re served seats cun lie secured, without extra charge, at the News Depot of Havens & Brown. The 'I ronpe will show again to-morrow night. Springer. —We ask the attention of buyers of Dry Goods, both wholesale and retail, to the unique and telling advertisement of 011 c of our oldest merchants since the close of the war— Springer. They will see that he is disposed now, as ever, to give them a fair and square trade for anything they may need in his line. They will see from what he says, that his assortment is os complete as they can li«d anywhere, and, as he offers to sell to advant age, why they should give him a showing at least. Hertz, successor to Turpin & Hertz, so long and favorably known, not only In this community, but in nil South-western Georgia, as Clothiers, is out in a bold announcement that he is prepared to fill orders for everything in the shape of Clothing and Furnishing Goods for Gontlemen, Youths, Boys and Freedineu, considerably below others in his liue. As “seeing is believing,” we think all who want anything iu his line, had better see if they can make terms and suits to snit them, at No. 90 Cherry street A Great Time in Prospective.— We ask the at tention of our fair readers to the announcement elsewhere of Mrs. Audoin, that Wednesday next will be her grand opening, to which she invites them. Bufficc it to say, that, with her usual taste in female finery, Mrs. A. has brought out a very choice stock of Millinery Goods, of which we shall leave the ladies to judge hereafter. That they will find some “lovesof bonnets” and “divine” female fixins, they can take our word. That they will for get the time or place, we haven’t the remotest idea; so wc shall close. Negro Superstition.— As.soon as the execution was over last Friday there were many applications for bits of the ropes by colored people present. One man said he wanted a piece long enough to go around the neck, that he had a son who had fits aud that tying a piece of a hangman’s rope aroun his boy’s neck would cure him. When receivin it lie expressed great gratification, firmly believing he had secured an infallible remedy. The ropes were all then cut Into little pieces and given out as mementoes, guards against witches, for luck, and for various other reasons, all the veriest superstition. Duessy.—Now that the ladies have possessed tlicuiselves of the latest publications containing the fall fashion plates, their next want will be the ma terials with which to pet up a fashionable fall and winter outdt. The stock of beautiful and choice Dress Goods at the well-known New York Store, In point of variety, is hard to llnd equalled this side of New York. The ladles will bear this in mind l>eforc selecting. Country merchants, in the extensive Wholesale Department of 8. Waxklbaum A Bno., at No. 45 Becond street, cannot Gail to find everything needed to replenish their stocks, while the planter can fill a bill there very advantageously. Sale or City Lots Saturday.—The city offer ed a large number of lots at auction Saturday, but in consequence of the small number of people at tending the sale and the low prices offered only fif teen or twenty were sold, nearly all lying imme diately on and in the vicinity of Tatnall Square. They were one-half acre each, and brought from * 100 to S7OO. A block was sold immediately in front of the residence of James Seymour, the cheapest lot at UfcJS and the highest STOO. It was supposed they would bring at least twice the amount they did, but as before stated, few persons attended the sale and the bidding was anything but spirited. The terms were one half cash and the balance in twelve months without interest The Wants op House Keepers Supplied.— House keepers have had much to contend with for some time after the war. Luckily our merchants, Benedicts and Bachelors, have commiserated their troubles, and happily ended them. B. A. Wise, the popular House Furnishing merchant of Middle Georgia, thinking that the tariff on articles of Crockery was too high, has overcome that difficul ty by importing direct from Europe. That he may suit their convenience, he has established a fine Crockery establishment at No. 80, Mulberry street, where they can obtain everything they noed in that line. The greatest advantage offered, however, is to the country merchants —those who buy to sell. By this direct importation, Wise is enabled to offer Crock ery at a better margin— saving the expense of handling and heavy freights. Wholesale buyers, ▼kiting Macon, should bear this in mind, and call and note the advantages to be gained by buying at No. Bft Mulberry street. “o-wabt Again.—We see by ‘’General -utters No. 87," we are again to have “a standing anny quartered upon us in a time of peace.” One ompany of the 16th Infantry is to be sen| to Macon, but the Commanding General takes pains m announcing that it will act as an auxiliary forceto the civil authorities; “that their object should be exclusively to preserve the peace and uphold law and order, and they must be satisfied such is the object of the civil officer calling on them for aid • that they must In all cases where time will permit apply for instruction to superior authority, but they must at all hazards preserve the peace, and not be restrained by technical points, when, in their coiiscientioua judgment under the rules above set forth, it is their duty to act Post Commandere. on being notified of the proposed holding of pol itical meetings, may send an officer, and if necessa ry a detachment, to watch the proceedings and see that the peace is preserved.” We congratulated the people of Macon a few months ago upon getting rid of the military, and were dreaming that hereafter wc would be left “to paddle our own canoe.” But they are to be back upon us again in a few days. And so we go. Come to Time.—According to promise, we pre sent this morning the advertisement of Messrs. Nussbaum & Dannenberg to the buyers of Dry Goods, Clothing, Boots, Bhoes, Hats, etc. Os these articles, they have opened quite a large and well assorted stock in their new establishment, on Third street, at the stand recently occupied by Farrar & Troutman, two doors from the Express Office. Their establishment is quite an extensive one, and well suited for the display of their goods to advantage. Planters visiting the Third street ware houses, and needing anything in their line, might go farther and fare worse. Try them. The Late Accident oh the Central Railroad. —We learn the particulars of the late accident on the Central Railroad from the Conductor of the train. When the up freight train on Thursday was run ning past the 96 mile post a car belonging to the Muscogee road, and which was in the middle of tlic train ran off the track, the reason being the wearing out of one of its journals. It jerked three or four cars in its front off, and threw all but three off in its rear. Fourteen care in all were thrown off the track, and many of them badly damaged; nobody sustained the slightest damage. The disabled cars were all cleared away from the track the next day, and the trains on the road run ning regularly. Reliable.—The first inquiry made of a man or firm, of those posted, by one who wishes to enter into commercial transactions is, is ho or they relia iblo! These old established and very obliging mer chants, E. Feuciitwagbb & Cos., have always stood A No. 1, in commercial circles in Middle Georgia. They have something to say to purchasers of Dry Goods in our paper this moruing, as to their inter est in this regard, which may pay them to heed. Those long-looked for and most durable Jeans and Cassimeres, from the celebrated Rock Island Mills, in North Carolina, have arrived, and gentlemen can now make their selections. To the ladies they have a word to say on the Dress Goods question. The gentlemanly propri etor and their courteous clerks will take much pleasure in allowing the new novelties they have just received. All Ready, Gentlemen.—Cotton planter are referred to the card of those sterling and most re liable warehouse men, Messrs. Jonathan Collins & Son. Since getting full control of the Coates & Woolfolk Warehouse—which they put in complete repair—they have been receiving largely and rapid ly of the new crop. Heavy though these consign ments have been, they have not more than kept pace with their sales. To show that these sales have been satisfactory to their patrons, wc will hut repeat what we heard an old planter say: “Why,” said he, “old man, this is a cent more a pound than I calkerlated on!” Further comment is un necessary. Yon have but to send them your cot ton ; we know the result will prove pleasing. In the West End.—We walked through the West End of the city Saturday, in the vicinity of Tatnull Square, and saw many evidences of the growth and rapidly expanding population of Macon. Although many lots around that square are already improved, still many others as beautiful os are in the corporate limits are vacant. The splendid resi dence of James Seymour is agemof brilliant beauty among all the rest. The city still owns a great many lots around and in proximity to Tatnail Square, and it strikes us a contribution might be levied, the ground improved, and the property thereby sufficiently enhanced in value to get the money back. We greatly need a public park—a place of resort—a place to drive and while away time from the hot and dußty streets. We were struck in our walk with the many cot tage houses building by men working upon small salaries, and who seem determined to secure homes for themselves and their families. This is right. This is the way to become independent and to enjoy the real comforts and blessings of the mar riage state. No man can be either comfortable or happy who has his family driven from pillar to post your after year. And Still Another.—lt is not with the slight est intention of assisting in a raid upon the pock ets of husbands and fathers, but only to oblige the ladies, that wc call attention to the fact that anew and fashionable Millinery Store has been opened on Cotton Avenue, in the building lately vacated by Nnssbaum & Dannenberg, next to Schreiner’s music store. The new aspirants for the patronage of the fair sex are Mrs. Hendrix & Co.—latlies who seem to possess judging from the array of pretty things they have opened at No. 15 Cotton Avenue. As we know the ladies will go to see them, we forbear further comment The Alphabet,—To young beginners as well as those old enough to read their titles clear to their own houaes and lots, we would refer the Alphabet tical list of good things kept by those prince o caterers Greer & Lake. We thought we were posted in the names of eatables and drinkables, but were completely stumped as to whether the article called “Zythum” is a solid or liquid—drinkable, eatable or smokable. All zeotically or curiosity inclined, however, can liavo their doubts removed instanter as to the nature of the animal at No. 66 Third street. The rumor is current that on account of the rush of the fair sex to see if the good looking proprie tors were “purtier than their picters,” the “photos” have been withdrawn. This in “Nojoqne.” JEANS AND CASSIMERES OF THE CELEBRATED BOCK ISLAND MILLS, Charlotte, N. C. These celebrated and durable goods, so long looked for, have at length arrived at E. FEUCHTWANGER & CO.’S, 43 Second St., nod 2* Cotton Avenue, TRIANGULAR BLOCK. Just In, another importation Os handsome and fashionable SILK POPLINS, SILK LUSTRES, WHITE GOODS, LINENS, HANDKERCHIEFS, Etc., Etc. Oar Stock of FASHIONABLE DRKSS GOODS, Is, without doubt, the most select and largest in ytman. Georgia—being.all of this season’s importa tion. A call at our house will Insure a purchase. To Country Merchants and Planters, we would say, examine oal* Wholesale Department before pa re hast we TELEGRAPHIC HEWS Haw Gen. Cobb Died. New York, Oct 10.—Yesterday morning CoL Williams of Florida, accompanied by a Baptist clergyman, called on Gen. Cobb. An animated conversation occurred between the minister and Gen. Cobb. Gen. and Mrs. Cobb were taking leave of their guests on the Etairs leading from the par lor to the office. Gen. Cobb sat down on the stairs, when Mrs. Cobb observed a tremor of the body and a contraction of the muscles of the face. At tending physicians of the hotel were called, but before medical remedies could be administered, the General was carried into the reception room, and in a few minutes was a corpse. Washington General News. Washington, Oct. 10.—The President directs the Secretary of the Interior to restore to Louis iana the statue of Washington brought North by Bntler George H.

Conlin has been relieved from duty as Bureau Commissioner in Tennessee, and ordered to report to Gen. Gilem for duty. Col. Thomp son, of the Second Artilery, relieves Conlin. Wasington, Oct. 10. —Sibley’s report as publish ed in the Chronicle, covers seven columns. The only affidavit in which the whites’ story is told, is that of Mum ford S. Poore. The others, fourteen Si number are from persons attached to the Radi cal procession, mostly freedmen. Schenck and Morgan have given intimation that they will not recommend a session on the 16th in stant. Recent local elections in Delaware indicate a Democratic majority of three thousand. A Big Hoax in Alabama. Montgomery, Oct. 10. —The Legislature will ad journ at 12 o’clock to-night. News reached here this morning of a terrible Ku- Klux outrage in Russell county, being the murder of the loyal Probate Judge and Clerk. Resolutions were offered in the House, calling upon the Gover nor to have the county declared under martial law and troops to be sent there at once. In the Senate a resolution was offered requiring the Governor to offer a reward of five thousand dollars for each man concerned in the murder. The Democratic members suggested that it was wrong to denounce people without a hearing or a trial. The news has been spreading this evening that the whole report was false, and that neither of the alledgedmuidered men are hurt. The Governor received a dispatch stating that there was not a word of truth in the alleded murders. The whole thing was a trick to make capital for the Northern elections. Northern News.

COUNSEL FOR THE CARELESS. The body Is a machine, and carolessness in its management is as sore to lead to evil results as carlessness in the management of a steam en gine. Yet the last thing that most people think of is the protection of this delicate piece of the Creator’s handiwork from the subtle causes of disease by which it Is surrounded. It Is no easy thing to repair the sjslem when in luins; bat there is no difficulty in fortifying It against many of the dangers to which it is exposed. Guard against nervous debility. At the first symptom of this fore rnnner of more serious ailments, sus tain the flagging energies of natme with HOS TJETTER’B STOMACH BITTERS. Take it regu larly and persistently, until' bodily vigor is thor oughly restored It creates an appetite, pro motes—or, it might as properly be said, compels— the complete digestion of the food, regulates the seceetive action of the liver, tones and invigo rates the bowels, improves the condition of the blood, and gives firmness to the nerves. Upon a system thus strengthened arrtl regulated in all its important functions, the fogs and exhala tions of autumn, pregnant with the elements of intermittent and remittent fever, can make lit tle or no impressson. Whoever supposes that lever and ague is an unavoidable evil in certain districts, at this season of the year, is egreglously mistaken. As effectually as a draught of cold air is shut oat by the closing of a door, this com plaint, and all disorders of a miasmatic type, may be prevented by the use of the BITTERS. When sickness can be avoided by a means so safe and simple, is it not the merest faintly to neg lect the proffered antidote ? Regarded either as a preventive or a cure for dyspepsia, biliousness, Intermittent fever, nervous disorders,general de bility, or constipation of the bowels, this pare vegetable preparation stands alone. “OUR HOUSE”SALOON.
