The paper is much enlarged, tastefully printed, and conducted with tact and ability. We have no doubt it will soon recover -by lire, and goon with increased pros perity and usefulness.

THE FUSION MEETING Last night, we learn was very numerously attended, and addressed by Col. Bass and Messr-. Hardeman and Trippc ami some other gentlemen. The Preamble and Resolutions were carried with but few dissenting votes, hut their only effect will be to unite the Bell ami Douglas men. The Breckinridge demo crats seeing nothing to be accomplished to wards the defeat of Lincoln by this movement, and very justly prefering their own candidate, will stick to him. This fusion business has the appearance of spontaneity, but it has been in contemplation between the Bell and Doug in- men ever since the opening of the canvass. It wa- talk< <l of even before their respective elei t'«ral tickets were nominated, and thrown a-ide by the Bell men as impolitic and useless. Il IL Hill, the apparent originator of the move ment at this 11} hour in the campaign, had the proposition under advisement here in Ma . ..u last July, and though there were various ..pinions atiout his sentiments on the subject, v t all settled down finally in the belief that he disapproved it \ distinct proposition for fusion was also brought forward in the Baldwin county Bell meeting to elect delegates to their State Con vention, and the editor of the Milledgeville Re ltr, then present, said he ‘‘despised, foamed and spat upon the proposition.” That was also iii .Inly last. About the same time, the Repub -1.. in Savannah, and the Chrgwicle <f - Senti- . in Augusta, were debating about the move ment, and blowing hot and cold on it by turns; but they finally whistled it down. The time f the meeting of the Douglas State Convention 'ia-. hanged to the next day after the Bell State < nvention. in order to perfect a fusion, ifpos l.lv; and not until both Conventions had put up separate tickets and adjourned, did we give up all idea that they would perfect a fusion. Thus we see, that fusion, although now broach ed as a new idea, was carefully considered in al! it- bearings and rejected by these parties, at a tni.<- when, if it could have had any moral es ! t u|hiu the North, as Mr. Hill intimates, that «tr « t would liave ha<l -pace for maturity and a inpli-hmeiit. But now on a sudden, with i t<n .lays of the Presidential election, the -1. it lor coalition is revived in a hurry, after . - ;r< ly abandonment, and “Patriots” are ap- : i d to, to come to the rescue, as ifthere were t .< ?«» do anything. A rather mysterious pro- < tx.iure, we must confess. A ’ the votes of our friends foot up better " column than in two, and is that the ex !To.anon of the very sudden and remarkable change in their policy ?

DEAR OBSTINACY. The British Government never insures any thing in the shape of property or treasure. It sometimes has to pay well for its perverseness in this respect. Over $500,000 went down to Davy Jones’ locker in the Malabar in the In dian Ocean ; and now the Connaught has dis posed of $200,000 belonging to the National Treasury of Britain. Thus has an “idea” cost Mr. Bull $700,000 within a few months. Na poleon’s “ideas” are generally profitable ones —Bull’s quite the contrary. A queer idea that, if we do find it in the pa pers. Underwriters take risks in order to make money ; and the business of insuring is one of the most profitable known among men. It pays large dividends, after paying large ex penses incident to the transactions of the busi ness. The man, therefore, who is rich enough to be his own underwriter will, in the long run, and with ordinary luck, make the underwri ter’s profits and expenses. Insurance is justi fiable, in a sound economy, only where one cannot conveniently replace his property if destroyed. It is one of the penalties the small capitalist has to pay. The British Government is able to be her own underwriter, and if she had kept an account current, and offsett her losses with the premiums which would have been exacted of her insurance, we have no doubt she would illustrate her “obstinacy” by show ing a larger return from insurance than has ever yet been exhibited. FROM OREGON. AVe see our despatch of yesterday was bun. gled. It should have read as follows: The Oregon Senatorial election came off in the Legislature on the 2nd inst., and resulted in the election of Nesmith, Douglas Democrat, and Baker, Non-intervention Republican—fusion candidates. An emigrant train, consisting of 46 persons, a majority of them women and children, had, with one exception, been massacreed by the Snake Indians. STAND ASIDE. A’erily the time is coming, yea it has already come, that the politicians, the miserable moun tebanks and jugglers should stand aside, out of the way of the honest people, and so let them, come together to manage their own affairs in their own way, subject to no dictation, and no rule but what they deem heat for their own in terests. The people have stayed at home, at tending to their own domestic and every day matters, leaving the alfairs of State in the hands of profetttional office-seekers, and they have be trayed the trust given into their keeping.— They have brought on all the troubles which now beset us on every hand, and thank God the people are awaking at last, and seem determined to assert and maintain their own supremacy in this their own government. Our fathers suf fered untold ills—they not only suffered, but they fought and bled to give us this priceless legacy. And now shall we, their descendants, suffer it to be snatched from us and destroyed, by a horde of office-beggars ? In much more of the same sort as the above did the outraged political virtue of the Chroni cle & Sentinel find an indignant and hissing vent yesterday. Let him keep cool. The elec tion will soon tell by an actual count of noses what the people of Georgia think and do not think ; and who are the “jugglers” that must stand aside. If we mistake not our indignant contemporary started out in this campaign, five months ago, an avowed secessionist, ready and anxious to push the protective dogma to the issue of disunion. He was next a non-affil iating, quasi Bell man, till the nomination of Breckinridge, and then dropped protection and took up Mr. Bell with his platform. Next he was a fusionist and no fusionist, by turns, for about a month, till he finally repudiated fusion—then fur two months by turns for Bell and by turns for Douglas, and lastly he comes out for fusion again. We suggest if skill in acrobatic feats be part of a “ mountebank’s’’ profession, our friend of the Chronicle has shown no incapacity in the business. TAKINGPOSITION. So far as we have observed, every Breckin ridge paper in this State, has come out boldly and squarely for a duevlution of the Union, in the event of Lincoln's election. It is a grave question in deciding, which the people, should call to their aid all the wisdom and patriotism at their command. Upon reflection, we make an exception in the case of our calm, cautious, considerate, and conservative friend of the Macon Telegraph, who thinks “it is not wise to anticipate a politi | cal millenium from disunion.”— Stirannah Re publican. Will the Republic.*.! abate Lis anxiety to locate others lung enough to locate himself? — Charity, they say, begins at home. Did not our contemporary, a few days ago, in a note of warning to the Northern Union men. tell them the election of Lincoln was the end of the Re_ public ? and is he now blackening the faces of the Breckinridge men with his own ink ? This is inhospitable treatment It will be time enough for the Telegraph to develope its policy when the occasion arises, and this we shall try to do calmly and rea sonably. We certainly are not of those who look upon disunion in any other light than a deplorable alternative against something worse; but when the choice comes between that and a permanent submission to a hostile abolition government, it is an experiment on the one side, against certain degradation and ruin on the other, and there is no rooiq for hesitation in the preference. The steady and onward march of sectionalism and abolitionism in the North, leaves us, as a people, no alternative but to strike a line somewhere and stand to it, or quit the field. If the Republican sees any ether chance, will he show it to us ? and, if not, in heaven's name let us agree to save our selves, if we can. He says it is a grave ques tion, and would that we could treat it as such —come to some conclusion and stick to it, V. W. SKIFF. AV e invite attention to the advertisement of Mr. Granite Hall, Mulberry street, who has a very large and tine assortment of fashion able jewelry, watches, gold and silver ware and fancy goods in his line. THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 25, 1860. A KENTUCKY UNION MAN. Leslie Coombs has b£en spouting in New York, and in one of his spoutations says as fol lows, in what may be considered a formal invi tation to the Northern abolitionists to do their worst, under promise of submission: “They are ready for the irrepressible conflict in Kentucky. Long ago they said to the Dis unionists in the Gulf States that they were per fectly safe from the Abolitionists; Kentucky stood between them and danger. Kentucky long ago lay down along the Ohio, with her big toe in the mud of the Mississippi, and she was there. Kentucky was an irrepressible Union State. Set up the flag of Disunion there, and he would beat it not only 23,340, as he did in August, but 100,000 votes. He told them that they would take care of the Abolitionists; they would shave half their heads, put striped breeches on them, and learn them a good trade. And they would not charge them a cent for it. This had struck the Secessionists as if they had been struck by a flash of lightning. It re minded him of the hymn sung a good deal by his religious persuasion: From hope to hope our passions fly, From vanitee to vanitye. [Great laughter.] They had found out the man who killed Cock Robin, and the man who struck Billy Patter son, and he had the honor to be that man.— [Laughterandapplau.se.] He told told them: “Lie still, boys.” It reminded him of an anec dote of an old woman in Buncombe County, North Carolina, who used to strike a fire with a little powder, flashed into tow in an old gun. A mischievous little grandson, when she went out, put in a lot of gravel. The old lady came in and began to make her fire—the little fellow hiding himself under the bed. She poured powder into the pan and shook it into the bar rel, and by-and-by, when she got a good lot in, fired it. Instead of setting fire to the ti>w, as usual, the whole charge went off knocking over the old woman and blowing the top of the roof off. The little fellow peeped out and said: “Lie still, Granny, there’s six more charges to come!” SHOOTING A AVILD ELEPHANT. I examined the ground carefully, so as to be prepared in case I had to make a run of it, and then taking off my leather gaiters and extrane ous clothing, so as to have my limbs as free as possible, noiselessly crept on my bands and knees behind him, and placing the muzzle of my gun almost close to the center of the hind foot, which was raised, I pulled both triggers almost simultaneously and sprang out of the way. A shrill shriek of agony followed the double report, and I just escaped a ferocious blow aimed at me with his trunk, being fortu nately out of reach. I ran round to the back of the rock before I ventured to look over my shoulder, when, finding he was not on me, I re loaded as quick as possible ; this done I felt se cure, and again approached the scene of action. I found my plan had proved completely suc cessful, for my antagonist was completely disa bled. My gun (which was a double two ounce smooth-bore* by Westley Richards) had been heavily loaded, having about six drachms of powder in each barrel; and the bones of the foot were so completely shattered by the double shot he could not put it to the ground, and eve ry time he attempted to make a step forward he fell heavily. He must have suffered intense agony, for he uttered most piteous cries between his bursts of rage. As I approached he strove to charge, with a shriek of despair, but he fell heavily to the ground, and as he was rising to his knees. I stepped up and discharged both barrels into the hollow over the trunk, the con- 1 tents of which, penetrating the brain, he fell, never to rise again.— [Hunting Grounds of the Old World. THE KIND OF BOY's’THAT MAKE MEN. AVhen Dr. Nathaniel Prentice taught a pub lic school in Roxbury, he was very much a favorite, but his patience, at times, would get very much exhausted by the infractions of the school rules by the scholars. On one occa sion, in rather a wrathy way, he threatened to punish with six blows of a heavy ferrule the first boy detected in whispering and appointed some as detectors. Shortly after one of these detectors shouted: “ Master, John Zeigler is whispering.” John was called up, and asked if it was a fact. (John, by the way, was a favorite both of his teacher and school mates.) “ Yes,” answered John, “I was not aware what I was about, I was intent on w orking out a sum, and requested the one who sat next to reach me the arithmetic that contained the rule, which I wished to see.” The Doctor regretted his hasty threat, but told John he could not suffer him to whisper or escape the punishment but continued : “I wish 1 could avoid it, but cannot, without a forfeiture of my word and the consequent loss of my authority. “I will,” he continued, “leave it to any three scholars you may choose to say whether or not I omit the punishment” John said he was agreed to that, and immedi ately called out. G. S., T. D., and D. P. D. The Doctor told them to return a verdict, which they soon did, after consultation, as follows : ‘The master’s word must be kept inviolate, John must receive the threatened six blows of the ferrule: but it must be inflicted on volun tary proxies—and we, the arbitrators, will share the punishment by receiving, each of us, two of the blows. John, who listened to the verdict, stepped up to the Doctor, and with outstretched hands, ex claimed : “Master, here is my hand; they shan’t be struck a blow ; 1 will receive the punishment.” The Doctor under pretence of wiping his face, shielded his eyes, and telling the boys to go to their seats, said he would think of it to his dy ing day, but the punishment was never inflicted. Exciting Bi ll Fight.—The Spanish journals relate an alarming scene at a recent bull fight at Saragosta. After three bulls, which did not show much spirit, had been disposed of by the 1 toreador Cuchares, a popular performer, a fourth was let loose, and he displayed great violence. He tore into shreds the bandarillas which were presented to him by the picadores, and then all at once leaped over a palisade at a spot where a I soldier was standing, and so injured the man that he died shortly alter. A little later the bull jumped over the barrier among the spec tators. Six thousand persons were assembled, and with cries and screams all rushed to the is sue to escape, causing a scene of frightful con fusion. The toreador, sword in hand, attempt ed to kill the animal, and several soldiers on duty as sentinels endeavored to do the same with their swords and bayonets ; some of the spectators, too, fired pistols at it, and in so do i ing wounded certain persons. At length the toreador got in front of the bull, and with a ! stab skillfully applied laid him at his feet The j journals do not Ray that any persons were kill i ed or even injured in the subsequent confusion. Blackwoods’s Magazine says, an ele phant in a passion, in India, lately attacked a Highlander, and trampled him to death ; then went at a baker’s cart; the bullocks, frighten ed, tumbled the cart and all into the ditch ; the elephant, calmed by the sight of the bread, ate up 200 loaves in five minutes, made a des sert off of sugar cane in a field at hand, and watered up with thirty gallons of muddy wa- I ter from a tank. Half Fare on the Central and Southwes tern.—-We understand both these Railroads will carry passengers to and from the Douglas meet ing next AVednesday for one fare. Cotton in the Red River Country.— The Cad do Gazette has the following remarks upon this subject: The season has advanced so far that we can with almost a certainty estimate the yield of cot ton per acre on the uplands. The terrible drouth of last summer was felt more severely in some localities than others, and there is a ‘falling off in the crop from three-fourths to one-half upon the uplands. This statement is not made at random, it is based upon the opinions of the oldest and best planters in this State and Texas. As a conclusive proof of the failure of the cot ton crop on the hills, the planters are taking their hands to the Red River plantations to as sist in gathering the crop in that fruitful region. Even on the Red River, where nothing but an ovei flow has hitherto affected it, the stand is bad upon the stiff clay lands. AA’e repeat the prediction which we made several weeks since, i that the Red River country would not ship more than one-half the number of bales sent to market last year. Another Territorial case for the Supreme Court.—The correspondent of the Charleston Courier says: A case has been proposed in Kansas which will ultimately be brought to the Supreme Court for decision, that will involve the ques tion of the right of a Territorial Legislature to abolish or prohibit slavery. In the Dred Scott case, Chief Justice Taney says this question was not before the Court, but he intimated an opin ion that if Congress could prohibit slavery in the Territories, the Territorial Legislature, the creation of Congress, could not do it It is im portant that this qnestion should be distinctly met by the Court, and they would, as now con stituted, decide it according to the views of Chief Justice Taney. FUSION. The following resolutions were adopted at the fusion meeting night before last; with three dissentient votes: AVhercas, it is agitated in the State of Geor gia, to unite the vote of the State on one Elec toral Ticket at the ensuing Presidential elec tion : And whereas the late elections at the North and West, indicate the success of Lincoln, there by rendering it a patriotic duty of Southern men to unite, and rally to the rescue of the Union. Therefore be it Resolved, That this meeting in view of the short time intervening between this and the Presidential election, refer the pro priety of fusion to the Executive Committee of the Breckenridge, Bell and Douglas parties, and recommend a joint meeting of said Committees at Atlanta on Monday, 29th inst., pledging our selves to support any Ticket that two or ”more of said Committee may agree upon. The meeting was presided over by Gen. J. W. Armstrong, Chairman of the Douglas Com mittee, Mayor Sparks, Chairman of the Bell Committee, and to perfect the organization, at the solicitation of the meeting, A. G. Bostick, took his seat as a Breckenridge man. [ AVe re fer to his card in to-day’s paper. Mr. Charles 11. Rogers, was Secretary of the meeting. A ( ARD. Fearing that some misapprehension may grow out of the part taken by myself in the proceedings of a public meeting, held in Con cert Hall last night, in reference to a fusion of parties in this State, as mentioned in publish , ed proceedings, the undersigueU begs leave to ' state that he only took part in the same for the express purpose of organization, and at the re quest of friends, and that he was not authoriz ed nor did he pretend to represent the Breckin ridge Democracy or any other party in that meeting. It is unnecessary, I presume, for me to state my position in politics, as my friends know that I am emphatically in favor of Breckin ridge and Lane. A. G. BOSTICK. Macon, 25th October, 1860. A Northerner making a trip through Alabama, publishes the following in the New Haven Courier, an abolition print: “I find no difficulty in expressing myself frankly, both politically and socially. Ido it fearlessly, without receiving any abuse, though 1 assure those who may read this letter that I am no abolitionist, but one prepossessed in fa vor of the South audits peculiar institutions.— I would not object to being the proprietor of a half dozen smart negroes I could pick out at iny hotel. This excitement about slavery is more than half humbug; there is as much slavery at the North as at the South, It is le galized slavery, too. The working population of Lowell, and girls at that, are slaves in the strictest sense of the word, as compared with the slaves of the South. The negro has more privileges than they, more time to him self, and is as much respected by the com munity as those employed in the Factories at the North. One has the stigma of a “factory girl," the other of “slave.” One is the slavery of liberty, the other the liberty of slavery. I siv this in all candor and honesty ; I say it from a sense of justice to both. I believe, from what I have seen of slavery on several planta tions and at the hotels, that the slave is the happier of the two; there are exceptions, of course, to all rules. The overseers of the fac tory girl and the slave occupy the same posi tion in society in their different localities; some are human, others abusive; some are men, and some are beasts. The event most calculated to excite a belief in fatality, which it is the fashion in Paris to honor as the governing power of all things, is the installation at last, of Madame Montijo be neath the Imperial roof. For this the good lady has sighed and prayed for many years, and although the occasion is most sad, yet it is remembered that the Emperor had vowed a vow before high heaven that no event should ever induce him to allow his wife’s mother to inhabit any one of the Imperial palaces. He is therefore considered to be beaten, and look ed upon by the Amazonian army, by which he has suffered himself to be enveloped, as a fu ture prey of easiest capture. Mr. Yancey at Rochester.— Rochester, A r . E, October 18.—Corinthian Hall was crowded last night io hear Yancy. He spoke three hours eloquently and impressively', making a digni fied, calm and able appeal to the conservative ■ men of all parties to unite to put down section al aggression on the South, and for the rights of the South in the Union and under the Con stitution.

WITH the facilities and long experience we possess in the Musical Business, we did not only select the BEST 1? I A. jN O S , as regards tone and durability, but have also effected the most advantageous terms to our customers for the supply of superior Instruments. We partly selected our Pianos and partly had them made to order. We are now receiving, without doubt, the best selection ever before brought to Macon, consisting of 6 1-2, 7, and 7 1-4 Octavos in plain an higdhly finished cases to suit every taste.— These Instruments we are prepared to sell either for C<i*h, on time, or monthly installments, at the lowest Factory prices. The latter arrangement, we think, will be accepted by many persons in want of first class Instruments, who are perhaps not willing to pay the entire amount at once, and to whom it will be easier to pay in monthly installments. Our object is to assist such persons in procuring a first class Plano, for whose superiority we will give a five year’s guarantee.— We intend to effect large sales, and are satisfied with small profits. and see our Stock to be convinced that we ought and really have such instruments as we repre sent them to be.
