MorE Light.—Why don’t the Gas Man give us
more light. The gas is bad and then it conies too
late. We get in darkness about five o’clock iu our
office, but we can’t get light Do turn the gas on a
little sooner, if you please. We will bum more if
you will.
Scuppehnong Wine— We arc indebted to our
friend T. C. Sullivan, Esq. of Americus, Ga. for a
bottle of Scuppemong Wine. It is as good as the
best lie has it for sale. For particulars address
him at Americus. -y
Police Report.— The Mayor had ten cases be
fore him yesterday morning, which generally com
menced in too much whisky, culminated iu lights,
shooting pistols at random, etc., and resulted in
tines of s’s and 10’s and Guard-house for a stated
number of days. It was a lively session, reviewing
comprehensively the operations of the sanguine
billious,those with the bump of combativeness over
developed, of the belligerent temperaments, on
Saturday night and Sunday. Yesterday was a
“blue Monday” to many of them. They should
behave themselves.
The Ladies arc referred to the card of Mrs.
King, front which they will see that she is now
prepared with all the latest and newest patterns>
to get up a fashionable wardrobe for the most fas
tidious devotee of the fickle and changeable Dance.
Mrs. K’s headquarters are at the Stubblefield
House. She is said to possess the happy faculty of
supplying all deficiencies in those who do not pos
sess a faultless figure.
Railroad Business. —The various Hues of rail
road leading to the city are doing a tine business in
trade and travsl. They are rapidly bringing for.
ward and carrying away the cotton crop of 1868,
and bringing the planter upon his regular fall visit
to the city to look after its sale, pay off his indebt
edness to the Factor and merchant, and, after
squaring up his account, to make purchases of such
plantation and other supplies as may be ueccessa
ry. We welcome them to our city, and hope they
will lose none of their ancient attachment for it.
E. J. Johnston <!fc Cos. —This old and well known
firm, among our most reliable merchants, has been
dissolved, by the withdrawal of His Honor, Mayor
George S. Obear.
It will be seen that Mr. Ed. Johnston, the senior
of the firm, will carry on the Jewelry, Watch
making, and Insurance business, as heretofore.
Mr. Johnston has a superb stock on hand of
Watches and Jewelry—most of it this season’s im
portation—whicli he is offering to sell very low'
for cash. Give him a call, at the corner of Second
and Mulberry streets.
Christening the New Warehouse. The
friends of Messrs. Adams, Jones & Reynolds as
sembled in the counting-room yesterday and
straightway proceeded to christen the Planters’
Warehouse, of which they have recently taken
possession. The main bnsiness was the shipping
of several bottles of Lac d’or, which all “buyers”
“classed” “strict middling.” There was no “stain”
in it, and no “ rust” about, especially in the mo
tion of “dealers” “going up”—for the bottles.
They produced great “activity” and buoyancy.”
“At noon” there was a “decline of a fraction.”
“Speculators” “took all the stock” offered,” leav
ing none to go “to the Continent.” Not a “bale”
was to spare for “export,” as all “in port” W'as
wanted for “home consumption.”
Itemarks —The “prospects for a good crop” at
the Planters’ Warehouse “this season” are very
good, especially for late pickings,”
Porter & Hudgins.— We ask the attention of
planters and all others needing Plantation Supplies,
Groceries, Bagging, Ties, etc., to the advertise
ment of this clever and accommodating Third
street firm. The past experience of these gentle
men in this line of business, together with their
thorough knowledge of the Western Produce mar
kets, tell w-itli good effect in favor of their custom,
crs. Our friends can find no more fair-dealing, po
lite and accommodating merchants to deal with
than Porter & Hudgins, and a call at 61 Third
street will convince all of that fact.
Macon and Augusta Railroad.— We intended
to correct a mistake earlier, which occurred in
this column the other day, saying the State had
agreed to loan this road $30,000. An 0 was omit
ted. It should have read $300,000. This is an am
ple amount to build the thirty uncompleted miles
between Macon and Milledgeville. And we hope
the Board of Directors will throw new life and en
ergy intofthe construction of the remaining link.
It should by all means be ready in time for the fall
trade of 1869. This will open an air-line between
the great inland city of Georgia and Charleston,
the commercial metropolis of South Carolina, and
from thence to New York. Freights and railroad
charges generally arc reduced to reasonable figures
by one method only, and that is the building of
competing lines. We have no enmity against any
of the great railroads leading to our city, but are
a linn believer in cheap freights and a heap of
business.
.Something Good for Everybody.— lt will be
Been, by reference to the announcement of Capt
Henry N. Ells, in another column, that the old
fountain of good things, so long and successfully
run by himself and lamented father, has been again
unsealed, and will henceforward continue to flow
and overflow with all that is choice, rich and rare
in the way of eatables.
The Captain has just received and has in store,
a line stock of Fancy and Family Groceries, pure
Wines and Liquors of hla own selection, and which
we know contains all that is appetizing in those
lines.
Aa a restaurateur, Henry is unapproachable, and
his saloon la a perfect gem in Its way. As soon as
the season sets in, gentlemen can always find Aus
tin ready and wiilingto serve them, as of yore, with
all the delicacies fixed np in his most fascinating
style.
With the Captain iu command, Austin to super
intend, and a Freeman to take your orders, if what
is set before you docs not prove most acceptable,
why, charge it to us, that’s all.

W James McHenry lays down the result of his

MEETING OF THE GEORGIA WHITE-OAK
LUMBER COMPANY.
The meeting of the “Georgia White-Oak
Lumber Company” on Saturday was a full and
enthusiastic one. The following officers were
elected:
James R. Butts, President.
George 8. Jones, "i
Norman McDuffie, I
wi£if
J AMES L. LAMPKIN,
C. A. Nutting, Treasurer.
A. G. Butts, Secretary.
J. L. Wokrall, General Superintendent.
A. Sit elveuton* Engineer and Master of the
Stave and Ship Knee Boat “Tallulah.”
The selection of Major Worrall as General Su
perintendent is an excellent one. He is a man of
known worth and integrity; has had groat expe
rience in the lumber business. The large heavy
timbers which he furnished for the suspension
bridge over Niagara Falls stand as a memento of
his work. Ho Is a native of Pennsylvania. Was
an officer in the Confederate service. He fought
throughout the war, was wounded three times, and
finally had his property in Tennessee confiscated
by Browtilow.
Mr. Shelvcrtou, Engineer, is a young man of
great energy aud industry, and his genius will soon
place him at the head of his profession.
The following extracts from the report of Mr.
G. R. Butts to the Stockholders, gives an insight
into the business of the Company, which we have
not had before :
“ Immediately after our application for a charter,
knowing that a considerable time would be re
quired to build the boat, I set about getting the
timbers for the same, and have pushed forward its
construetiou with as much energy as a due regard
to economy would warrant.
“Our boat is completed, is strong aud substantial,
and well adapted for the purpose we have intended,
She is built as strong as wood and iron could well
make her.
“ Our machinery for dressing the staves is nearly
completed, and the machine for sawing the ship
knees well in hand.
“ We have made our arrangements for sawing the
timber for three boxes, each capable of carrying
50,000 staves, and shall have one in readiness to ac
company the boat, when she goes down to com
mence operations, and in four months after we
commence we hope to have three cargoes of staves
and ship knees in market, which I trust will not
only repay our entire outlay, but leave a handsome
surplus after paying all expenses.
“We have already made arrangements for timber
enough at a mere nominal price to last the Compa
ny for several years.
“ The present boat for staves and ship knees is
only one branch of the business wc have in con
templation.
“ We have deemed it prudent, as the whole busi
ness was anew one to all of us, to commence small
and creep up.
After the present boat is in successful operation
and our Company satisfied with its results, we then
propose to construct a boat for sawing the long
heavy White Oak for ship-building, together with
a great variety of other timber which is in the
river bottoms. This will be a very heavy business.
A stationary Mill, located upon some one of the
bluffs contiguous to our business for sawing the
timber for the Boxes, will complete our outfit.
Our business will be a very heavy one, and will
then amount to from $250,000 to $300,000 per annum
—all of which will be drawn from the forest, which
heretofore never lias contributed one dollar to the
State or individuals, The business of the Com
pany therefore commends itself to the favorable
consideration of every individual.
We shall be able to send off from one to two
boxes per week, each cargo amounting to live or
six thousand dollars.
I expect to make arrangements with our old
friend Moses 11. Grinnell, President of the Sun
Mutual Insurance Cos., of New York, to insure the
cargoes on our boxes at very moderate rates.
I am in communication with two of the most
extensive timber merchants of Liverpool, receive
their wood circulars monthly, and in that of June
last, noticed a shipment of staves made from
Charleston, which were sold at £35 sterling.
“The field before us is a vast one—the lumber ill
exhaustible at least for fifty years, and at Darien we
have the markets of the world open before us.”
Country Merchants, who may wisli anything
in the line of Dry Goods, Boots, Shoes, Clothing,
and Notions, should drop in at the New York Store-
Nos. 45 and 47 Triangular Block, Second street, in
spect the heavy stock, aud find out prices before
purchasing. ts
J. H. Otto, Watchmaker and Jeweler, No. 90
Cherry street, keeps on hand a fine assortment of
the best Gold aud Silver Watches, Jewelry and
Clocks. The best Violin Strings in the city.
Watches, Clocks and Jewelry carefully repaired
and warranted. Gold and Silver bought for Cash.
Look for the large Clock in the window and you

“COUNSEL FOR THE CARELESS.
Tlse body is a machine, and carelessness In its
management Is as sure 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 sjstem when in ruins; but
there is no difficulty in fortifying itagainst many
of the dangers to which it is exposed. Guard
against nervous debility. At the first symptom of
this fore runner of more serious ailments, sus
tain the flagging energies of natuie with HOS
TETTER’S 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 llie
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 and regulated In all
its important functions, the fogs and exhala
tions of autumn, pregnant wilh the elements of
Intermittent and remittent fever, can make lit
tle or no lrnpressson. Whoever supposes that
lever and ague Is an unavoidable evil In certain
districts, at this season of the year. Is egregtously
mistaken. As effectually as a draught of cold air
Is shut out by the closing of a door, this com
plaint, and all disorders of a miasmatic type,
may be prevented by the use of the BITTERB.
W hen sickness can be avoided by a means so safe
and simple. Is It not the merest fatuity 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 pure
vegetable preparation stands alone.

FINANCIAL A COMMERCIAL.
Weekly Review of the Maeon Market
Monday Evening, Oct. 12,1868.
Tho week ending to-day and now under review,
has beeu a busy one in all departments of trade.
Tho aggregate sales 'of Western Produce is as
large as the corresponding week of last year, and
much greater than any previous one during the
season. We are more fully into our fall trade, ao<l
our merchants are as busy as they well can expect
to bo. The demand for Fancy and Family Groce
ries has not beeu better since the war.
Receipts of Grain have been light, and that of
Bacon heavy. Receipts of Cotton amount to 2,681
bales.
Our general market would have shown still more
life and activity lmd it not been for tho depression
in Cotton. It has been on tho decline every day
since the close of our last report until yesterday*
and Saturday, when it looked up again.
The general condition of trade in the city is very
healthy indeed. It is reduced to that systematic
calculation by whicli men can form a basis of ope
rations, which has not been the ease at any time
for three or four years. Not now susceptible of
those extraordinary fluctuations, wc can tho more
readily tell what and wlien to buy and when to sell
and tho price.

Financial.—The demand for money to move
the Cotton crop is in excess of the supply. Our
Banks are often cramped for funds and are
obliged to their best customers. Stocks and
Bonds are almost wholly neglected, as all surplus
monies are passing very rapidly into the hands of
the planters, who are generally using it to pay off
freedmen and to settle up accounts with their mer
chants. We quote:
