The Harrises were arrested and lodged in jail to await the result of the wounds inflicted upon Bland. Yesterday morning another and similar affair came off in East Macon, in which a negro, named Ive Bugg, fatally, it is thought, stabbed an other negro. Ive got away. Ihe venerable Shropshire, of the Macon Teii- kjui>h, says he can remember when he was a “happy, careless boy.” Ho ought to be able then to explain how Egyptian mummies are tnade.—Rome Commercial. We would cheerfully make the explanation for your benefit, old fellow, but for the fact that we respect you too highly to expose the manes of your dead forefathers to the vulgar gaze. Be sides it would be giving support to the Darwin- ian theory—a subject we decline, to discuss. You must call on Barnum for information re ading your ancestors. A Festive Cuss.—One John Brown, under the influence of pine-top, and with a desire, perhaps, to establish the fact that hi3 “soul is Mill marching on,” drew his pistol yestorday afternoon and commenced shootiDg it off in the alley between Second and Third streets, back of Hardeman & Sparks’ warehouse. Of course * policeman soon got after tho “festive cuss,” who, seeing that bo was wanted, struck out on a long trot up tho alley. He was not fast enough, however, for DonLevy soon overhauled him and took him to the headquarters of all such. A couple of quarrelsome colored St. Louis citizens appealed unto the pistol for a decision, one was shot squarely in the forehead. It was no nee, however, for the ballet was flattened cat as thin as a penny, and did the recipient no injury. Bain.—Tho finest and most copious 6 ho*er of min of tho season, fell in this city *nd section yesterday afternoon between 2 and 3 o’clock, Matos's Coubt.—From tho batch of offend er before this Court yesterday $20 in cash wa3 collected, and imprisonments to the amount of cizty days ordered.

ALSO, A GENUINE PATTERN OF THE GRISWOLD GIN, FORMERLY AT DOUBLE WELLS. T HE undersigned, having resumed the manufacture of tho above Gin, propose to make it what itwas before the war—The favorite of the South. Our work stands upon its merits, and we think this a sufficient guarantee. We have secured the services of some of the best mechanic*! talent in the North ern shops, in addition to someof the bestworkmenfromtheshopof the late Samuel Griswold. Mr. Chas. Gardner, who served eight years’apprenticeship under E. Carver & Co., at East Bridgewater, Mass., and who was employed as Superintendent of the Double Wells Shop, from the commencement of the manufacture of the Moore Cotton Gin, until its suspension, is again at his post, ana will give each Gin his personal inspection before it leaves the shop. In calling the attention of planters to our Cotton GinB, we desire that they should notice the mprove- meats that we offer, which are substantially as follows : - A PORTABLE ROLL BOX, w V1 piefflDgL.-.. . ■■■ the seed, as circumstances require. We use both the common Roll Box and a Swinging Front. The latter is arranged to let out all the seeds and hulls in a moment, and is very easily managed. THE GIN BRUSH Wo make, cannot be excelled by any hair brush used. The bristles aro all drawn in by a cord, and the timber is all selected from the beet lumber, well seasoned; and every Brush is made perfectly fire and rat proof. CYLINDER AND BRUSH BOXES Are both osetBating and pi .in- Can furnish either, as may be ordered. We line them with the best babbit metal. . GrUNT- SAWS. We make all the Saws that we nse from tho best English Cast Steel, and of any size that may be de sired. We employ, to superintend and manufacture our SawB, one of the beBt saw-makera in the South; and our machinery for the manufacture of Gin Saws cannot be excelled. COTTON SEED CRUSHING MILL. We are the only suocestful manufacturers of this important and useful invention—the Cotton Gin, with the Cotton Seed Crushing Mill attached. It will hardly be-nccessary here to allude to the immense saving and economical use of crashed cotton seed, as a manure. We received a gold medal as a premi um, from the Fair of the Cotton Planters’ Convention, held in Macon, Ga., 1860, for the best Cotton Seed Crushers attached to the Gin Stand, to crush the seod as fast as it escapes from the BoQ. We re fer to some of the many certificates that we have on the subject. TRIAL OE THE GINS. We keep constantly on hand seed cotton, and every Gin is tried before it leaves the shop—old or new om REPAIRING OF OLD GENS. We have a complete assortment of the very best Cotton Gin Machinery in the country, and make re pairing of old Gins a specialty. Planters will do well to send in their old Gins, and have them -made as good as new, at a much less cost than a new Gin can be bought for. Send on your orders and old Gins early. We are also authorized by Messrs. Findlay’s Sons to receive orders for Findlay & Craig’s Screw Cottpn Prees, and Craig’s Patent Portable Horse Power, and Castings generally. For particulars, send for Circular and Price List. SAWYER & MOORE, api23 eod&weow&swtf IfIKDIiATS IRON WORKS, MACON, GA. Patented February 27th, 1871, by FINDLAY & CRAIG.
