Fkaoas. —This morning’s issue of the Amer ican Union contained an article concerning Mr. (). A. Bacon to which Mr. U., naturally enough, took offence. About noon, Mr. li. met the editor of that paper, Mr. J. Clarke Sway/.e, called him aside and spoke of the article, when hot words ensued. Mr. Swayze went oil and soon returned with a pistol in his hand, and would have shot Mr. B hut for the intei ferenee of Mayor Huff, who stepped between anil thus prevented, perhaps, a sad ullntr. These are the facts as we obtain them on tiie street, and as the matter will probably come up tomorrow morning for adjudication and the true facts brought out, we refrain from com ment. a ♦ M ii.i.icii, Bkown & Co.—While at Fort Val iev, yesterday, we strayed into the large estab lishment of Miller, Brown * Cos., and to say that we were surprised at its extent will con vey hut a meagre idea of it. We were told that they turn out everything in wood, from the smallest and most insignificant garden tool to a hotel. Ilonse building is their spe ciality, as may lie seen from a stroli around the city and throughout the line of the railroads. They keep on hand quite a large stock of fur niture, hardware, harness, carriages anil bug gies; in fact, everything that a farmer could need. It is the headquarters of the projected railroad from Fort Valley to Memphis, these gentlemen being the prime movers in the en terprise, which we hope may turn out a success*. Citizens’ Meeting. —A number of citizens of this city, called together by C. T. Ward, Esq., met at Ordinary’s ofliee, Macon, Ga., to consult in regard to the propriety of establish ing additional precincts for tlio approaching election. Col. L. N. Whittle was called to the Chair, and J. W. Burke was requested to act as Sec retary. The object of the meeting was explained by o*. dinary Ward. The legality of the question, opening two polls, was discussed by Messrs. C. Anderson, Jas. A. Nisbet, Geo. W. Gustin, A. 0. Bacon and others. On motion of 0. Anderson, a committee of five legal gentlemen were appointed to confer in regard to the legal question, and also five gentlemen to whom this committee was to re port, and that the President be requested to act in accordance with the decision of these committees. Ist Committee —W. Poe, Jus. A. Nisbet, L. N. Whittle, C. Anderson, S. D. Irwin. 2d Committee —R. B. Barfield, J. E. Jones, W. A. Huff, W. T. Hollingsworth, G. B. Tur pin. On motion, adjourned. J. W. Bubke, See’y. I.ouai.okathh, Macon wants u market house, a decent hearse, and a better kept cem etery. We visited the latter this morning, and were ashamed of the trashy wa'lks and its gen eral disorder. We do not think any one lias given it proper attention since the death of Mr. bimri Rose. Brown & Cos. are beginning to get in their full stock. Don’t forget to pay your poll tax. The street overseer is busy at work, filling in the ditches and gullies, and thus making our streets wnlkable. The circus is all the tulk on the streets among the young folks. Dimes are being saved up. The first time you are at leisure, go up and pay your poll tax. Cotton is lively to-day. The weather as agreeable as heart could wish. Burr it Flanders, the popular millers, have just issued a handsome four-colored card of their unequaled Georgia Mills. It was printed by IJnes, Wing and Smith, of this ofliee. Goon Feed.—We have a crow to pick with oar portly friend Wheeler, around the corner. Rereads the Enteeprise, rs all clever people should, and saw in yesterday’s issue that we sometimes cat, and in the goodness of his heart and his appreciation of ye poor local’s efforts to fill his columns (and stomache) he sent his man Friday to us this morning burdened with a tray on which was steaming a dish of deli cious Oysters, cooked in a style that pleases, with a request that we Bhould*do as Adam did in days long since—cat thereof. It required no coaxing, for it was a “ layout ” (it for any high spiced connoisseur, and, together with our respected senior and the foreman, we sailed in and away went the bivalves. Thinking that Zeb had sent the ‘‘best in de shop” as the Hon. Mark Curry would say, we went around, in disguise (washed our face) and saw a respectable crowd of respectable people (Zeb allows no other kind about him) ail engaged in discussing the merits of hia oysters, which, by the way, were just like those sent us, and admiring the neat and ele gant manner he had fitted np his establish ment. I’olite servants, clean crockery-ware and cutlery, and a clean place to eat, Zeb is fully prepared for the campaign. Being also in con venient distance of the depot, passengers will note in their memorandum book that for a bite of something good, go to Z. B. Wheeler’s next to the S;>otewood Hotel, Fourth Street. John Robinson. —This veteran showman is now making a grand triumphal tour through the South. Ilf Virginia, where ids great‘‘world fair" of wonders Is now exhibiting, ho Is meet ing with a grand ovation; stores are closed, schools dismissed, county courts take a recess, the highways are blockud with wageus loaded with people. The day preceding his arrival at the place of exhibition, all is expectancy. From all sections the people flock, excursion trains loaded with anxlou- passengers, and pedestri ans on the march to view the great show of the age, can be seen in crowds at euch crossing; multitudes are unable to gain admission to the vast “city of canvas,” which looms up majes tically before them. At every place they exhib it, people assemble, by thousands; the proces sion, said to he the finest in the world, is worth a visit of 100 miles to see. The name of Rob inson lias always been a sure guarantee to amusement-lovers that all promised would he performed, but tills season the old “ Veteran ” lias outdone himself In collating for thin, his last great enterprise, all that is rare, wondrous and beautiful lu Hie world; and from the great success that lie is meeting with everywhere, proves that the people are with him, and de termined to sustain him in the great outlay m cossiiry to perfect so great an organization. From all sections come words of praise and commendation. The entire Press write in the must fulsome ami laudatory terms of the great John Robinson Show. The Richmond Dispatch says: “ Not only does John Robinson perform all that he prom i-cs i.i tin- paper ami pictorials, hut many tiling- hit- iiilrniluc il not on tile hills Nn wo. >il- r the Hi.ui" ti ls are delighted.” Tin-. Washington papers, in noticing their exhibitions, mia; "Anxious thousands were lim e,l to return home, tumble to gain admit lance, and is it a wonder that such is Hie easel' We answer no. Surely Robinson is deserving of the patronage bestowed upon liiin. His per formances are truly wonderful, while his collec tion oi animals is the most complete to-day in the world—not like the Great Eastern abortion that so lately gulled the public of our city by their fulsome advertisements and glowing de scriptive handbills and pictorials. Robinson s is the greatest and best that has ever vis ited our city, uml surely deserving of special mention.” These and like notices are found in the col umns of all of our exchanges coining from the places where tills colossal consolidation has visited W therefore, with pleasure, refer our readers to the mammoth advertisement in to day’s issue, advising them to await the coining of tin; great -‘world’s fair of wonders" in Zo ology, Ornithology, animate and inanimate nature, besides tiie very best circus in the world. Notwithstanding tiie immense expense attendant upon so vast an enterprise, tiie management have determined that the admis sion to all parts of the entire exhibition shall be us heretofore only seventy-live cents. They exhibit hero late in October, and due notice will be given in future advertisements of the date of their coming. We advise all to see the great show without fail. ♦ ♦ School oc Reform.—JoeShepcrd, stealing; ¥lO and costs. John Wood, stealing; dismissed. J. J. O’Burn, drunk; ¥lO ami costs. Francis Randall, disorderly, 85 and coats. The Great Dry Goods House of S. Wjxelbaum and Brother. —This mammoth Dry Goods House is truly one of tiie greatest in all tiie Southern country. We doubt if there are mony which are more extensive on the North American continent outside of New York and Philadelphia, and even in those cities there are not many carrying heavier stocks or doing a larger trade. Occupying the centre of Triangular Block — running through from Second street to Cot ton Avenue, and from cellar to roof, there are five grand divisions to the establishment. The cellars or ground rooms urcTised for packing and unpacking goods for all depart ments and for the storage of Domestics. Tiie right hand floor above is the chief whole sale department, and here we find a ship load of Prints, Domestics, Alpaecus of all colors, Janes, Bleachings, Shirtings, Stripes, Cheeks, Ginghams, Fancy Dress Goods, Red and White Flannels, Opera Flannels, Tickings, Brown Goods, Corsets, Linseys, Poplins and so on, running through the entire catalogue. On tiie left is the general Retail Room. And a busy scene it always presente, morning noon and night. It would be much easier to tell what is not in there tlmn wlmt is. It con tains among other things the largest stock of silks in Georgia—some of them running aB high as SluO per pattern.. Our ladies can find anything there from an inch - of ribbon to a cashmere shawl. The two floors above are set apart for ready made clothing, boots, shoes, hats, shawls, hosiery, gloves, linens, shirts, bulmoral skirts, cloaks, blankets, quilts and notions ad infini tum. But it is useless to call every article by name. It would take up half the space in our paper. Dealers must go ami see for themselves. A superficial glance makes one think there is enough on hand to supply the whole trade of Macon for months to come—and yet so great is the trade of the house, it is necessary to send off new orders for fresh supplies almost every day in the week. Scarcely a steamer leaves New York for Savannah without having consignments for “S. W. & 8., Macon.” The senior requests us to make the positive statement as a fact that they Hell at New York prices. We found the house this morning full of country merchants and citizens, and every clerk just as busy as he could be. And no wonder, for such a stock ns that will attract people to it the dullest day in the w-eek, and at this season no one wishing to purchase will go by it. A large capital, industry, the most scrupu lous honor, and a long series of years devoted to the business, has placed this house in the front rank of Dry Goods Dealers in Georgia. It is known far and wide as such and will contin ue to be for a long time in the future. Go where you tan get Hie best photographs. Cloudy days preferred, except for children.— Bright days arc the best for babies, as they have to be taken like shooting birds on the wing. Call at tiie prepaid Gallery, No. SC’otton Av enue, where you will find Brown ready to wait on you. sep2Gtf ■■ Dancing School.—Our citizens will be pleased to learn that Madam DeLananaga and Prof. Allmon, our favorite instructors in the Tcrpscchorean art, will return to Macon Ist of October, and will open their school, intro dneing all the latest and most fashionable dances. Due notice will be given in these col umns of the time of opening the school. sep2U twtf • An, Delicious. —The big sunflower, the morning glory, or the scented jessamine is worth seeing, but what is worth tasting is the excellent Lunch, the Cincinnati Beer, Rhine Wine and Seltzer Water that Ullmaaq, at the Isaacs House, keeps. Those Lunches will last a hungry man four or five days. It Carlos has returned. lie came this morn ing, and will make known wlmt he brought with him In a day or two. It FINANCIAL & COMMERCIAL.

MACON, GEORGIA, ONE DAY ONLY! During the latter Part of October, Grand Zoological Exposition of Living Wonders JOHN ROBINSON’S lIMEESE COMBIIATIOE!! MENAGERIE AND CIRCUS!! TO THE PUBLIC. AFTKK FIFTY YFAUS OF AN ACTIVE CAREER IN TINS SHOW BUSINESS, reaching my Hixty-flfth year, I determined to retire from my managerial eurcß, and take tin* advice of my family, and there remain quiet the restf my days. 1 endeavored to follow thin characteristic counsel, hut neither case nor fortune would brim; content, and stimulated by an unimpaired constitution, by unabated energies, and even more, by an earnest desire to gratify, as I have always done, successfully, the demands of the amusement-seeking public, I became restive under rest. Inspired by a like ambition to exeel any of my former exhibitions, after having successfully and satisfactorily supplied the public want for many years with* wonders, surprises and the best of entertainments, and gratifying all wholesome tastes, I established anew mammoth enterprise, by collecting, equipping, and putting into operation, my Great National Museum, Menagerie, Caravan, Hippodrome and International Zoological Garden Combination. An Exhibition us Novel, Colossal, Exhaustive and Bowildcrlngly Various us money ami experience can make it, auil which I can transport hy means of nearly 2,000 ItIUIV anil IIOKSDS. to every neighborhood and city of my native land. The admission to these great Exhibitions is that of ordinary exhibitions. My fueilitios and experience wore never as good as at present. i could never, as well as now, summon to my service front tho extremest parts of the earth, men as willing and able to carry out my long-matured plans; and while 1 still remain at headquar ters as Director of the enterprise, and constantly on the alert to secure new attraction, MR JOHN F. ROBINSON, JR, WII .1 s SUI 13R INTENI>, A 8 he lias the par,t season, tho daily operations of the great moving anny during its triumphal march through the land. THE GREAT Hobert Theodore Sticlmey, The Great Equestrian of the Age, and DIRECT THE EQUESTRIAN DEPARTMENT OF THE AIIENIC DEPARTMENT.—Under their supervision, my patrons may be assured that nothing in the slightest degree objectionable or prejudicial to the most refined tastes will he permitted. My uvant couriers are gentlemen of moral excellence and ability. The unsolicited and unanimous expression of the press during the triumphant tour in summer and autumn, and especially tho triumphant tour throughout the South, fullv warrants my exhibition as the largest on earth. The daily expenses of my exhibition are greater than those of any other two concerns traveling; and alt,hough ut times it has stopped in localities where the attend ance of every inhabitant within one hundred miles, has failed to quite cover the day’s expenses, l have been satisfied to gratify my patrons in such places at my loss; while the general and great success of the season haft verified the maxim that “MERIT AND MERIT ALONE DE SERVES SUCCESS!” This merited success has stimulated certain proprietors of smaller traveling exhibitions to attempt an imitation of uiy colossal combination by adding to their exhibitions a few etullcd skins or wax figures, tin; cheap or worthless refuse of old Museums, and to call their shows Museums and Menageries. Home have proposed to go further, by claiming to Imve a ROBINSON, and advertising their shows as JOHN ROBINSON'S. I hardly need warn the public against such paltry yet most unscrupulous attempts at imposition. There is but one JOHN ROBINSON, whose long career as a generous caterer for amusement-seekers lias made him thoroughly known throughout the laud. My motto through life has always been, get the best regardless of trouble or expense, and to encourage that only which Ims for its object innocent diversion and amusement, blended with the moral, social and intellectual improvement of myriads of patrons. If tills last great effort brings to your doors the largest Show you and your children ever lmve witnessed I shall he satisfied with iny endeavor as I mean to make it the crowning success of my managerial life. The public’s obedient servant, JOHN ROBINSON. A LAST WOED-TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I (JOME AMONG YOU WJTII THE LABT GREAT CROWNING TRIUMI'II OK MY MANAGERIAL LIFE.—My great desire in to please and astonish you with un exhibition never auen before, and containing more than other traveling exhibition. I have expended over ONE MiI,MON DOLLARS In tills immense enterprise. The public and prcMH throughout the I lulled Staten, whenever my great exhibition law tra veled, all agree In declaring that my great Colonel Combination In even greater and better than I represent it, and that it in far superior to uny Show ever seen, and that to miss seeing it would he the regret of a lifetime; and in all human probability, yon will never look upon the like again. Immense as lmve been my exhibitions of past years, the present one Is three, times larger any ever before seen. The great number of novelties wliieli my agents shipped me last winter have eaaned my great Show to outgrow Itself, and to exceed my own expectations. It could not at present lie transported without the aid of two thousand men and horses; lienee I am unexpectedly compelled to transport my entire Show animals, horses, chariots, wagons and an army of performers and assistant* by railroad, requiring elghty-tive freight ears, live, passenger coaches, three distinct trains and three locomotives. Ah my daily expenses reach |fi,Uoo, we eun only stop ut large tow m*. Rut excursion trains can oasliv he made up by tho public at reduced rates. It frequently happens, notwithstanding tho Immense capacity of the Dig tents, that evening visitors are unable to gain admission for want of room. I ahull therefore, :us often as possible, give a morning performance.’ Ate.aeli of these day exhlbtiona everything will be seen the same, as in the evening, including tho Museum, Aquarium, and the entire performance In the llippodrone and Circus. My last words is, therefore, to advise ladies, children, families, and all who can conveniently do so to attend these day exhibitions, as they will then have time and room to cxaminlno the curiosities, and avoid tiie crowds of the evenings. The doors are open one hour before the Circus begins, to sllow an opportunity to all to examine the myriads of marvels which my tents con tain. The magnificent Street Pagcuutund Procession of Elephants, Camels, Golden Chariots, Dorses and Funny I’onles, and u brilliaut display of gilded and mirrored Equipage usually takes place before !i ocloek in the morning, and is worth going one hundred miles to see. It is advlsublo that planters and others from tint country, as well as those who get up railroad excursion trains, arrive in town at 8 or half past Bin the morning, in tlds way they can witness tho Grand Procession, attend the early expositions, and be at home again before night.
