The best teste of the merits of any proprietary ar
ticle is to ascertain what is thought of It at home
where it is manufactured. Snob s test Lippman’s
Pyrafuge nan well stand, as to-day It Is deeldtdly the
favorite remedy for chills and fever, dumb ague and
other diseases of a malarioas origin, in theeity’ofSar
vannah where It Is prepared. The principal druggists
of the city would aa much think of doing without cas
tor oU in their stores a. to be without this popular
(and deservedly so) remedy. It Is a vegetable prepa
ration frss from deleterious drug* and acts as a tonlo
upon the entire system, thereby invigorating the sys
tem. so mnch so aa to enable it to throw off disease.
Pyrafuge does not nauseate or sicken tho patient, and
can he taken by the moot delicate persons without
fear. It should always be at hand, is chills aadfever
creep upon us so stealthily that we are notawaroof
its approach until it is npon us. A word to the wise

Cobs.—For several days, just past, onr com deal
ers have been ordering their supplies of tho article
from St Louis, as the Chattanooga market hais got
too high for them. Com is selling in this market
at 1.13 per bushel by the car-load, and to purchase
it in Chattanooga and lay it down in Macon costs
jastLIL St. Louis com can he laid down in Ha-
con at from 1.04 to LOS per bushel, and hence the
sadden change of onr leading com dealers from a
Tennessee to & Missouri market.
In this connection we might mention the fact that
orders npon onr merchants for Western produce
from the planters of Central and Southern Georgia,
are now numerous and heavy, and we hear no com
plaint of the dnRncse of trade in our provision mar
ket. By comparing Macon prices with those of the
Western markets, it win be seen that onr merchants
have very little margin for profits on anything they
sell in the grocery and provision line. In fact, a
planter can get a small order filled in Macon on the
same terms that he could get it filled elsewhere
with the drayage and freight added. On a very
large order he might save a few dollars, by sending
it beyond this point and waiting patiently until it
could be filled and forwarded; bat be would lose
time and money by going beyond Macon with a
small or ordinary order for supplies.
-Wz Caw't Help It.—H. H. Tomer, a prominent
mulatto from the North, who has figured conspicu
ously in this section among those of his color, for
the last three or four years, was appointed Post
master at Macon, yesterday, by the President We
can't help it, and comment ie. therefore, superflu
ous. As a matter of local news it devolves upon
ns to notice the appointment, bat we will not com
ment npon it It was received by nineteen-twenti
eths of onr white citizens with mingled emotions of
shame and disgust, as Tamer has never allowed an
opportunity to pass him, by which he could abase
and misrepresent tho white people of this section.
The President has rewarded him with an impor
tant office in the central city of the State, distin-
gisubed alike for its intelligence, patriotism, and
commercial importance, and suspended from the
officc|a faithful and efficient gentlemen, who has
conducted it to tho satisfaction of onr citizens and,
no doubt, to the satisfaction of the Government.
Tnz Prc-Nic.—Quite a large number of onr citi
zens of both sexes attended the Pic-Nic yesterday
stPace's Station, about fifteen milos out on tho Ma
con and Brunswick railroad, and retained about six
o'clock in the afternoon, having spent the day most
pleasantly and enjoyed themselves finely. In ooo-
seqnenco of the absence of so many citizens, includ
ing nearly all the Jollygolongs, the city was unusu
ally quiet, and we beard of nothing transpiring
worth a passing notice.
; Matos's Coen.—His Honor had rather a lively
levee yesterday morning, considering the dullness
of the season in police aides. Six esse* were en
tered oaths docket for trial, and the attendance
was large. On call, Solomon-Keod, a negro, was
introduced for a little stealing he had been doing
the day before. The testimony was against him
with a vim, and it sent him to jail to await a war
rant, which will take him before Judge Cole next
week.

principal party engaged in it 920, or be could go on

dow a half dozen fine, fat porkers, that are Tooting
around on tho streets, in hoggish indifference and
ignorance of the fact that, after the first of June,
by order of tho City Council, they will no longer
be allowed to heed the admonition: “Boot hog. or
die”—in tho corporate limits.
Nzvsz Kxowx to Fan-—This may be truly said
of Dr. O. WUhoft's great chill and fever remedy.
The secret of its aueeess is probably that it is pre
pared for one class of diseases only. It is such s
concentration that chills and fever and ague cannot
resist when it is taken. See the advertisement in

“It's true, he has been."
“Well, dat’s all right. Dat's jas as it oughter be.”
“Why so?”

Let uaProtcet Ourselves.—The phisteal struc
ture of the stroniest human being is vulnerable eve
rywhere. Oar bodies are endowed by nature with a
certain ntgotive power which protects them, to some
extent, from unwholesome influences; bat this pro
tection is imperfect, and cannot be safety relied on in
nnhenlthy regions or under eirenmstanees of more
than ordinary dangor. Therefore it is wisdom: it is
prudence: it is common sen- e to provideaaainstsach
contingencies, by taking an antidote in advance; iu
- other words, by fortifying tho system with HOSTET-
TER'S STOMACH BITTERS—the moit complete
protective against all the epidemic and endemic mal
adies that has ever been administered in say country.
As a remedy for Dyspepsia, there is no medicine that
will compare with it- Whoever suffers tho pangs of
indigestion, anywhere on the face of the earth where
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS can be pro-
eared, does so voluntarily; for. as surely as truth ex
ists, this invaluable Toxic and aLTkgjmvs would re-
itere his disordered stomach to a healthy condition.
To the nervous it is also especially recommended,
and in eases of oonfirmed constipation it also affords
speedy ond permanent relief. In all cates of fever
aud ague the BITTERS is more potent than any
amount of quinine, while the mest dangerous cases of
bilious fever yield to its wonderful properties. Those
who have tried tho medicine will never uso another,
for any of the ailments whieh the 1I0STF.TTER BIT
TERS profess to sublue. To thoso who have not
made the experiment wo cordially recommend an
early application of the BITTERS whenever they are
stricken by disc.veof the digeative organs.

BY TELEGRAPH.
Friend Telegraph : The community notice an
infamous letter purporting to be published by
that most infamous cut-throat, Turner, stating
that Adkins, Ayer and Ashbum came to their
ignoble deaths, not on account of their infamy
and violation of the black man’s “bed,” but
because of their politics. Tho said cut-throat
said nothing about the little girl who was lolled
by a negro, near Vineville, for two or three dol
lars ; said nothing about the boy, poor George
Wilson, murdered at Battery 15, Savannah, by
a brutal negro, and said nothing about the bx»-
tal murder of poor Sheffield, at the YineviDe
branch, by three villains, with hearts as black aa
his own. But tho cut-throat will deny writing
any such a letter, and will “ publicly ” wish the
newspapers in hell. . Humitjattox.

of Horace Greely’s Tribune in bis ears. It is
needless to say that this bold adventurer, accor

' Two children who worked in one of the Chi
copee factories. Eli Goodro, fifteen yean old,
and Louisa Stebbins. fourteen, fell downright
into love so deep that they determined, with an
utter contempt of consequences, to go and get
married, as grown folks do. Chioopee and clerks
and clergy Tcry sternly and sensibly refused to
grant marriage certificate or ceremony, where
upon the decided youth came to this city and
obtained both. The Palmer Journal says the
civil sanction was obtained from the City Clerk,
and the religions from the Rev. Dr. Ide. At all
events, they were successful in their visiL and
started for Thomkike, there to spend the honey
moon until Louisa’s parents should forgive
them. They got as far as Palmer on Wednes
day evening, and spent tho night in the depot—
certainly a very elegant bridal chamber. But
on Thursday morning the parental Stebbinses
bore down upon thenP-cre the Thorndike craft
hove in sight, and captured oul ward bound ad
venturers. They wanted to separate the bold
babies, bnt though Lousia, disheartened by the
meagre outset of the voyage, was willing to
hand off, Eli remarked defiantlv that they had
been and gone and done it, and* what did they
mean to do about it ? Impressed by his view of
the case, and by the advice of a Palmer justice
to make the best of it, the parents relented, and.
conveyed the precious pair home, triumphantly
happy. Bnt wo shouldn’t like to have the re
sponsibility of sanctioning the absurd transac-

The crops in Jefferson are in good order, and
in a fine growing condition. While cotton has

seed and compost has been applied to the com,
and this is telling with wonderful effect No

quantity ] of land than ever before. Com is
about knee-high, and looks green and flourish
ing. Wheat looks very well. There is some
rust, bnt I think it is confined to the blade.
The gardens are yielding an abundant supply
of vegetables. The dinner-tables everywhere

Sandwich Islands.
Honolulu advices report that the feeling in
favor of annexation to the United States is rap
idly extending through tho islands. Men who in
the past have stood by the King and Ministry,
now openly announce themsolves as desirous of
annexation. It would not be at all surprising
were the Sandwich Islands, which, by the com
pletion of the Pacific Kailroad, are brought into
comparatively near, communication with New
York, to be knocking at the door of the Union
for admission within a short time. The native
population of the islands continues to steadily
decrease before the inroads ot disease, epidem
ics and criminality. In 1832 the whole popula
tion of the group was 130,315, of which but few
were foreigners. Since that time the native
population has diminished over fifty-aix per
cent, while the foreigners have increased over
one hundred and fourteen per cent—Cornmsr-

Fire in Washington, Wrtxrs Cocirrr.—There

of a very important steam mill, and also tho

he had on having caught fire. Everything was

The Crevasses.
New Orleans dates of the 18th state that a
bre ak bad just occurred in tho grand levee in
the Parish of Points Conpie, half a mile above
the repairs just completed, at great expense, of
the crevasse which has flooded so large a portion
of West Louisiana the last two years. The pres
ent break does not threaten to do so much dam
age as the previous one, the levee being some
distance from the river's edge, and the water at
the break being only six feet deep, though 150
yards wide ; but from the high stage of the wa
ter. it will be difficult, if not impossible, to close
it for some time to come. The work on Tilliere
crevasse, in SL Bernard Parish, has been aban
doned as hopeless. The break is now several
hundred feet wide and of great depth, the water
sweeping uninterruptedly back to the lakes.

Nzoaozs Going Westward. On Monday last
about forty negroes, consisting of families and
persons, who were bora free, passed through
this city, on the M. k C. Railroad, bound for
Arkansas. They were from Burke county,
North Carolina. Wo conversed with one of
them, an old man, who seemed to be tho
patriarch of the company. He told ns that they
could get plenty of work in North Carolina, bnt
it was not sufficiently remunerative, and they
were seeking a country where they could get
better pay for their labor.—UunUtCUe Dem
ocrat.
The French Emperor.—On Tuesday the Ern
ie ror completed his Gist year. I saw him on
Saturday last as ho rode down the lines of tho
troops which were being reviewed in the Court
of the Tnileries, and never observed him look
better. He was fresh, had none of that care
worn expression which, six months ago, gave
rise to so anxious surmises; he rode his charger
with esse, and seemed in the best of spirits and
full of energy. 11 a ten de Fean de la Fontaine
de Joutenee. He feels certain of the elections;
he has rallied public opinion to him by the ex
cesses of some of those Jacobin reunions, and
his letter recommending that the tieux debris of
the army of the First Empire be pensioned—
some 20,000 soldiers—so as to give each brace
not less than two hundred and fifty francs a year,
has added to his popularity.
The McMillan Velocipede.—Mr. J. HcMil-
lian our Watchmaker and Jeweler, has invented
an improvement of velocipedes for which he
has received a patent, and it is believed will
work a revolution in these machines.
The superiority.pf these over all other ma
chines, is, that they can be propelled with tho
feet or hands and can be made to travel up hill
or over a rough read. They are made either
for one, two or three persons, and each help to
propel it at the same time. On leTel ground the
feet only are use, but going up hill, the hands
are brought into requisition. They are made
with either three of four wheels. Mr. McMiltian
left for New York on Sunday night in the inter
est of his invention.
We will say something more of this invention
in the future.—Oresneule Adtoeate.
Personal.—We had the pleasure of seeing in
our office yesterday Mr. Patrick Walsh, general
agent of the associated press for this State, and
an associate in the Augusta Chronicle and Sen
tinel.
Mr. J. H. F-gtiTI, we learn, has been appoint
ed agent of the association in Savannah, ties
Gibbs, gone to parts unknown. Mr. E. will no
doubt prove an acceptable officer to the associ
ation, and to the prcs3 generally..—Saeannah,
Republican.
Tim Greenfield (Mass.) Gazette says: “It
takes ten minutes to many a conpie in this
county: but to separate five couples by divorce
took but fifteen, or three minutes a couple, in
the Supreme Court last week.”
