Sabatooa Spbixgs.—A fresh supply of Excel sior Spring Water has been received at Dr. Snssdorff's Drug store and can bo had on draught this morning. Which is Right ?—There is difference of pre cisely one hour indicated on the face3 of two of the clocks In tho Presbyterian Church stee. pie. Which is right, Mr. Timekeeper ? Fox Hocx»3.—Colonel Taylor F. Gibson, of Crawford county, received yesterday, at Harde man & Spark's warehouse, from Virginia, three fox hound sluts aad four puppies—the prettiest lot of hounds we have seen in a long while. Sccoe the violent storms of Monday and Tuesday nights last tho weather has been sev eral degrees cooler. It was quite pleasant in the' shade yesterday, with a high, fresh breeze prevailing throughout the day. Not Dose Yet.—Not long sinco wo called at tention to a side-walk bridge on Second street, where it intersects Arch, and reqnested its re. pair, bnt tbe repair has not been made. When will it be done? Tho place is dangerous at night. Sweet Potatoes.—Mr. A.

Excused.—CoL Thomas Hardeman received a telegram yesterday from the Ku-klux Com mittoe, notifying him that he need not visit Washington, in obedience to the summon re cently served upon him to testify before the Committee. Consequently, the Colonel will not visit Washington, perhaps, until ho goes to be inaugurated as President on the 4th of March, 1877. Chableston Mail Matted. —A gentleman was complaining, yesterday, of tho fact that mail matter from this point for Charleston is sent via Atlanta, thence over the Georgia Road to Angnsta, and thence to Charleston; and, os the different roads do not make close connections by this route, it takes a letter three or four days to reach Charleston, whereas a letter from Charleston to Macon makes the trip in a day and a half. How is that ? It is a bad rule that won’t work both ways. Mubdee and Retkibotios.—We are informed by gentlemon from Albany, that on Monday last, a Mr. Rush, the overseer on Mr. Ben. H. Hill's Mud Creek plantation, had a difficulty with a negro employed on the place, in which the negro attempted to strike Rush with a sin gletree, and Rush shot at him but without effect The negro then left, and on Tuesday returned with a double-barrel shot gun and, and ap proaching Rush whon in the field, remarked to him: “I am now armed and on an equal foot ing with yon.” Rn9h replied, “all right,” and when in the act of leaping from his horse, the negro shot him in the side with a load of bnck shot Rnsh fell from his horse mortally wounded and the negro ran. The negroes in tho field who had witnessed tho affair, imme diately started to a neighboring plantation for dootor, and on the way they found the negro who had shot Rash, lying dead in the road with the top of his head blown off and his gun by his side. It is supposed that be accidentally discharged tho other barrel of his gun and killed himself or, thinking that ho was being pur sued and would be caught and puniahecL stoD- pmi to tna roaa ana mew ms own head off The Cotton Supply.—Mr. Editor: I had read Mr. B. F. Nonrse’s letter in the Now York Commercial Chronicle of tho IGUi of July, 1871. waa so fall of false statements and deceptive ooloring, that I became disgusted and paid no attention to it, as I saw tho Chronicle refused endorse his statements and figures. The visible supply of cotton (by the Chronicle) giv en on tho lf»th of July, J871, was 1,839,102 bales. Mr. B. F. Nonrse says the consumption of cotton in tho world is 113,200 bales per week. Now multiply 113,200 bales by fifteen weeks, and you have as answer 1,698,000 bales. De- dnot the 1,698,000 from the visible supply of 1,839,102, and the remainder is 141,102 bales, tbe visible supply of cotton for Europe and this country. So you see Mr. Nonrso’s 1,632,000 bales that is to be on hand, is all false and moon shine, and totally at variance with the truth; so he had better pnt tho brakes on his false statements, as tho impetus in that direction is growing too strong. The reason tho Chronicle wonid not endorse Mr. Nonrso’s figures, was be cause it know they wore false. But Low the Chronicle can endorse the spirit of a communi cation written on false assumptions and figures, is incomprehensible to me. The only way to get at tho truth in the matter, is to ascertain the amount of the visible supply of cotton, then learn tho consumption of cotton per week, mul tiply that by fifteen weeks, and you will see the small stock that will be on hand at the end of fifteen weeks—for they cannot got any of the new crop even at that time.

An Interesting Incident.—The other day— Ah, that phrase the other day! What tender recollections it brings up! Tho other day we were a happy, careless boy! Tho other day we played beneath the home-roof of joyous child hood! Tho other day a fond mother's smile cast a halo aronnd the fleeting hours. The other day loves's young dream—but to our incident: The other day a splendid-looking, elegantly-dressed stranger—that word stranger always excites our sensibilities. Who is he ? Whence comes he ? Perhaps he is the centre of a fond homo circle! Does he meet in our city that courtesy so grate ful to the wanderer, and which betokens refine ment and good breeding? How much do we value kind attention when far from home ! That well-dressed stranger was evidently a man of wealth—what a comfort it is to be wealthy! To be able to travel and behold all the famous and wonderful places of earth! To be able to gratify every reasonable whim, to pour balm into many a wounded spirit, to scotter blessings all around, to smoko your real Havana, and bny your wife a new bonnet whenever she wants one! Ah, wo wish we were rich. Well, this wealthy stranger, perambulating our streets— we fear he thonght the streets dusty. We know he must have deemed our officials, remiss in making repairs; we guess ho was struck with the irregularities of onr pavements, and wo reckon he wondered why Southerners take so little trouble to provide shade trees. Suddenly be came in front of Brown’s Nows Depot, and struck by the attractiveness of the tastefully arranged windows, he paused. VTis well to pause occasionally in life, for we all too eagerly pnrsne the bnbble of the world, pleasure, fame, honor, ease, money. How we race and struggle after the almighty dollar—what a magic sound! Ever tmcling through the fibres of the brain, it ani mates to all the highest pitch of endeavor and leaves no thonght for the sweet amenities of life. After a.short panse the stranget’sface was lit np by a smile—what charming things are smiles! They betoken kindliness of natnre and elegant culture. Some smiles aro like the flush that spreads over the face of nature when tho son rises above the horizon on a balmy May momiDg. Such was this stranger’s smile. It warmed our heart towards him. He entered the store and was greeted with one of Brown’s Chesterfieldian bows—Brown has a gracious suavity of manner that has made him many friends. His bows— speaking of boxes reminds us of tbe two boats on onr river that run their bows into each other lately and spilt several young gentlemen into the water, by the shock—Brown’s bows and fas cinating smile and gracefully waving band, whon he greets strangers, are very taking, especially the hand, if a purchase is msdo and the stamps tendered. Won’t yon walk in, sir?” said Brown, his white teeth glistening with pleasing politeness. Thank yon. I am struck with your elegant store, so tastefully arranged.. Its shelves seem decked with tho choicest food for the soul. Do you sell many books ?” Yes, sir, a great many; bnt our trade is mostly a novel one.” ‘A noeel one? Do I understand you to re mark that tho book trade is a new thing in Macon ?” Oh, no—no—no! I merely meant that wo sell many novels.” “Ah, yes. I beg pardon. How dull lam.” And the stranger sauntered towards the coun ter and picked np one of the papers. What a blessing papers are !

And what a wonder is well-conducted daily paper, like tho Tele- graph and Messenger, which reminds one of of Pink-top Harris’s head, becanse it’s always read. Efom th«wmbW* 4 Yes, Brown keeps a groat number and a groat variety, and sells them as cheap as he can. “ I should think yon had lively times here!’’ and tlio Btranger picked up Harper's Weekly. Wo had quite a cereus time a few nights sinco J” replied tho urbane Brown, politely ex tending his hand to receive the Weekly for wrapping. “A serious time! Pray tell me what happen ed.” “We had a cereus blooming.” “Ah ? and what constituted its seriousness ?” “It was a flower, sir, tho night blooming ce reus.” “Ha! ha! I take, my dear sir. That was good. Excuse my seriousness. I hope yon didn’t make tho occasion a serious one.” ‘Oh no. I made light of it. I had several brilliant reflectors.” How few of ns, in those days of hurry and scurry, aro rofleolors! Men, in general, think little; and the consequence is many a false step in life. Did we reflect more we’d better guard against the ills wo often meet. “And what became of the night blooming oereus ?” queried tho gentle stronger. ‘Pugh took it.” ‘Did it belong to him, or did he steal it ?” ‘Bless yon, dear sir, ho took it photographi cally. Hero is the piotnre.” A polite bow and graceful move of the hand ensued. “I take. Permit me!” and the splendid lookiDg straDger handed over a ten cent stamp, and received Harper’s Weekly, in exchange. There was beauty and elegance in the respon sive bow of onr friend Brown; the stranger was evidently struck by it. “Surely,” said he in a tone of dulcet melody, as he bowed himself gracefully backward into the street, “this man is tlio pink of politeness. must call in again some time, and spend an other dime.” “How rich, how noble, how generous! I wish he’d trade often.” Thus mused Brown, as with careful hands he gently smoothed those silken lot±s of his, parted in tho middle so deftly. Suddenly the stranger re-entered and bowed gracefully. Brown he bowed gracerfully. The stranger smiled superbly. Brown he smole ex quisitely. Brown is an exquisite, you know. “I return to enquire, sir, if tho Macon Fair will be worth visiting.” Brown's bow was a sight to behold. “The Macon Fairs, sir, aro unsurpassed and unsur passable. Strangers who visit them are always enchanted.” “When will it take place ? “Oh! you are speaking of the State Agricultu ral Fair! It takes place in October, and is cer tain to be a grand affair.” “Has it good grounds?” “The best in the world, sir. So good, indeed, that success is certain. In fact I know no grounds on which to base a failure.” Tho strangor stared and then slowly retired, muttering: “Upon my soul!” WAY DISPATCHES.

July 19—Evening, 1871. } Cotton. — Receipts to-day 40 bales; sales 6; shipped —. Receipts for the week ending this evening 108 bales; sales 53; shipments 39.

The barometer continues low on the Gulf coast, and has risen decidedly from Lake Ontario to Missouri and northwards. The temperature has fallen from the middle and east Atlantic westward to Arkansas and Iowa. Fresh winds prevail in the Middle ana Southern States from the southwest and from the north west. On the lakes threatening and rainy •weather has prevailed from the Ohio valley to Lake Erie and to Florida, as also on the Atlantic coast. Clearing up weatheris nowreported from Lake Huron to Kentucky and westward. Probabilities: It is probable that the short but heavy rain) will pass over Maryland and New Jersey, and possibly Connecticut; but a rising barometer and clearing weather, with fresh northwest wind3 are probable for Thurs day from Illinois and Wisconsin, eastward to the Atlantic coast. Threatening weather will probably continue in Northern Florida, with partially cloudy weather in the interior of the Gulf States. _ New Yoke, July 19.—Deaths in New York during past week, 857, and Brooklyn 346—both showing heavy increase.
