Think ing that the horse was stolen one of the gentlemen went in pursuit of the police to have on investigation, but the negro waa too smart for him, and mounted the horse and rode off. As soon as the facts of tho ease were made known to the chief, one or more of the police forco went in pursuit of the negro and overtook him about four miles from the city and brough back. After a little codsultation the Marshal gave tho negro ten dollars, took possession of the. horse, and let the freed- man go at large. Ought not tlio Marshal to have held the negro in custody until it was ascertained whether the horse was stolen or not ? It seems to us that would have been tho proper course to have pur sued. We give the facts ns they’ were related to ns. The horse is said to be worth over one hundred dollars. It is nt one of our stubles where it can be seen at any tirno. We have not seen the horse and therefore cannot describe it. #st>“In justice to Messrs Lee and Wheel er, wo give place to their card this morning <n answer to tho communi cation of “Observer” which appeared in our columns of the 10th.

Protracted Meeting—The colored Baptists of Americas have, for the past four weeks, been conducting regular night meetings at their Church and the congre gations seem steadily increasing. Many attend from the city and vicinity. They seem devout and orderly. 8®- A private letter received by us from the editor of the “XIXth Century ” says: “ The article on ‘ Philosophy of Radical ism * was written by a son of G. C. Mem- minger, Esq., late Secretory of the Con federate State’s Treasury, and if you will read it you will see that he does not endorse that which it unfolds. The XIXth Century is uncompromisingly Southern and will remain so. No radicalism, no conservatism, bnt out and out old Awe, if yon please. ” • Ballou's Magazine fop. Settbmbek.— We welcome the September number of "Ballou'* Magazine, for we always find something in it to interest us and onr household. It is filled with original stories of love, of adventure and the sea, and withal, has some ddzen or fnore il lustrated articles, scenes in this or other countries. The price of Ballou’s Mag azine is so cheap that it should be in every family in the country.

As Wiley is an old and experienced hand at the business aud understands the wants of the community, we feel satisfied that he will please those who are fond of good fresh meat. To his debtors he makes an appeal to come forward, and pay up; that if they do not, in a reasonable length of time, be will advertise their names with amount due. He says he trill publish all them by our correspondent.

A negro man who was trying to •'teal his way from Columbus to Macon ■'E the train, was killed in Fort Valley, Saturday morning at 2 o’clock, by falling from liia position and being crushed the wheels of the cars. ■*-*- A young lady who foiled to marry i-- “ sweet sixteen, ” remarked a few days "2° tB»t she had no confidence 'u two t mugs—i ove ail( | Bologna sausage. “ La! exclaimed a blue-eyed lass, “ from *'"• Rfcedy manner in which you hold to tlio young men one would think that yon hked them. ” £c?*Iu order to accommodate • itizeus in furnishing them with the pa- l>ers :i4 early as possible, we are request ed by tho Post j • .ster, Mr. Barwald to .-•tftte that the office will not be closed daring tho opening of the mail from Ma- eon.

Ho had an eng ment that evening to carry his intended to church and according to promise went to her house for tlrnt purpose. After en joying the moonlight walk and much lovers’ sentimentalism they arrived at the church and took their seats. A very few moments Imd elapsed when they happen ed to look atone another, and were hor rified nt the metamorpose. The young gentleman’s moustache had assumed its natural sickly color, while the young lady’ face had pnt otra heavy set of black mous tache and goatee. She quickly put her handkerchief to her face and left, her young Adonis following after wi.h his chin in his shirtbosom and a sheepish look on tho countenance. Young men who . ish to enjoy a pleasant walk with their sweethearts, in going to church, should not allow tho barber to cheaply-color their young moustache.

Editor: Iu your issue of tho 11th insfc., “ Observer ” charges us with prone dorclidron of duty in the case of Day, colored, and insinuates that thirty-fire dol lars purchased his jrdca.se—the whole a gross misrepresentation. Now for the real facts of the case. Complaint was made to ns by Mr. Jno. C. Joiner, that while absent from his etore-room a few days since that his mon ey drawer had been pilfered of some five dollars in change bills, and upon the evi dence furnished by Mr. Joiner, we pro ceeded to arrest the negro Day, who de nied to the last having any knowledge of the affair, bnt said he would reimburse Mr. J. if he would not have him arrested, to which proposition Mr. J. agreed, and the amount was paid over on the spot. Mr. J. being satisfied refused to pro se en to or have anything to do with the mat- We then carried the negro to Jus tice Johnston and stated the case briefly, who was in doubt as to tho legality of a trial after the compromise. It must be borne in mind that Mr. W. J. Boswortb, Justice J’s balifT was present, and neither or us were enjoined by the Justice to hold the negro until he could investi gate the case. Such being the situation of affairs we proceeded with the negro to advise with Mr. Randall and learn what disposition to make of him. On our way to Mr. R’s office wo met him and CoL Cutts, and reported what had been done to Mr. R. who refused to write any war rant inasmuch as the Mayor and City Council no longer had jurisdiction over such eases and particularly as Mr. J. re fused to appear as prosecutor—having al ready settled the matter with the negro. Upon these facts we felt no longer bound to hold the negro and, therefore, released him, directing him to proceed to Justice Johnston’s, which he did, and if any rant had been issued for his arrest, tlrnt was the proper time to have arrested him. “ Observer” should not place much re liance on “ Dame Rumor ” «s she is very unreliable. Day did say that he would give the policemen thirty dollars in prefer- to being held under arrest, and also said that lie would give the same sum Mr. Joiner if he would not arrest him. But no thirty dollars was seen in his pos session. This is a true and correct statement and we hope “ Observer ” will exercise a little more “ legal acumen ” in future before he parades us before the public. W. \V. Wheeler. T. W. Lee.
