Murder.—Mr. John Joiner, of Dooly county, was murdered on Thursday night last, at his residence in that county, by a man named A. 0. Devereanx. The murderer escaped. A des cription of him will bo found in an advertise ment of this morning’s paper. A liberal reward is offered for his apprehension. In Town Again.—We were startled for a mo ment last night, by an unexpected call from that precious little pjnk of the Savannah Morning News, J. C. Harris. He is ont on a general ram page through the State, bnt seems to havo a spe cial hankering after Macon. He was here some month or two since, and his visit was followed by a drouth of unusual severity, and there is no telling what he will leave in his wake this time. We shall look for the worst if the best oomes of it. He will be on exhibition at the Brown Honse for a day or two. Macon Street Railroad.—President Hazlo- hnrst has returned from the North—having pro cured all the iron, cars and other material neo- essarv for the early completion of this road. Bills havo been given ont for stringers, cross" ties, and the horses have been ordered bonght in Kentucky. Everything is being done to have the road ready by the 1st to 10th of October next.

The Eatonton Kiot.—The negro George Samuels, who instigated the negro riot at Eaton ton last Tuesday, was captured in Greene connty on Wednesday night, and duly installed in jail in Eatonton on Thursday morning. He was pretty well sprinkled with buck shot—a fact going to show that he took a prominent part in the affray. We learn that George made tho first move toward going for the arms, and also that ho fired the first shot. The negro who was re ported os seriously wounded, is dead. It is thought ho was accidently shot by the negro rioters, as he was a well disposed negro, and was not engaged in tho row. Fifteen or sixteen ne groes wore wounded, but nono others seriously.

Mangnm had the good luck yesterday, to rocovor a fine double- eftso gold watch that was stolen from his resi dence by a negro burglar abont two years ago. It appears that tho negroes In the notorious ne gro settlement on tho Coiambus road, abont two miles from town, and where nearly all the black rogues who proy npon onr citizens conceal themselves and their stolen plnnder, have re cently got to stealing from each other, and com seqnontly, they commenced “blowing” on each other to the policemen. Ono of them com' plained to Xnout. Foot or that ho had been robbed of $70 by another negro, and that tho thief of fered to compromise tho matter, if he would not havo him arrested, by giving him a fine gold watch. On this information Foster “went for” the thief, and succeeded in recovering the watch, which proved to be Colonel Mangem's. It is a pointod illustration of tho truth of the old addnge: “When rogues fall ont, just men get their dues.” CHOLERA. HOW TO cults IT.

MSfi-eod&wlm Made his Mare.—A young friend just re turned from tho Chalybeate Springs reports that nearly three hnndrod guests are now there and still they continue to arrive daily. After speaking in almost frantic enthusiasm of the beanty and fascinations of a certain Miss 0., of North Georgia, who, he says, is certainly the “prettiest girl in tho State," wo got him to talk “business" a little. He says John Black, of the Eufanla News, made his mark while at the Springs, and that the cabin he occupied is now known to guests and labeled as tho “Milk Pouch Cabin." If the local editor of the Mont gomery Advertiser is to be believed, Black made his mark at the Springs in another and more forcible manner. Scrows says there was a heavy haul made on the stock of crockery at the Springs during Black's visit, and in corrobora tion of this statement, it appears that soon after his return home he advertised a lot of mixed crockery ware for sale. We thought when he passed through this city that he had an unusually large and hoavy lot of baggage for a local ed itor, ont on a trip of health and pleasure, and we heard him tell a porter at the Brown Honse to handle his baggage carefully, as it all con tained more or less glass in the shape of phials of medicine. Wo don’t know that he carried off anything from tho Brown Honse, for all the crockery of that establishment is labeled, and it would get him into another dose place if he offered it for sale; bnt we do know that he car ried away dead loads of good things to cat. He got enongh to hibernate upon. Maeshalltille, Ga., Angnst 11,1871. Mr. Local: Being on a visit to your city, had an occasion to take a stroll from the Spots wood Hotel to Dr. Everett’s, or Fourth and Oglethorpe streets, I could bnt admire that por tion of your boantifal city. It is certainly one of the prettiest streets in Macon. It is so well adapted to the building of the street railroad, on which, I think, [if the Board of Directors would extend or commence their road at Ogle thorpe street, it would be the best paying por tion of the road. I also learn that the health of this portion of the city compares favorably with the balance of the city, which I see from a comparison with the health of the cities in the United States that Macon stands second. When, that portion of the city was first settled np was considered sickly, bnt since the building the railroad shops, and the burning of so much lightwood in the locomotives, that the health has much improved. Another cause of the im provement is the washing of sand into those little branches running in the lower portion your city..

F.MTORIAT, < ORKF.SI‘<).\ IU.M E. Fort Valley Agricultural ami Industrial Exhibition. Fort Yallet. August 11, 1871. In fertility of soil and the extent and valno of its productions, Houston has long claimed to be the banner connty of Georgia—nor has the exhibition of to-day impaired her right to that proud designation. At an early honr the population of the connty came pouring in, many of them bringing their contributions to the Fair. Soon the grounds about the old Metho dist church, which had been converted into an Industrial Hall for the occasion, presented an animated appearance, and the bnilding itself rapidly filled with viators. We were glad to note a goodly representation present of the merchants, capitalists, ware house men, and mechanics of Macon. The exhibition, (the first of the kind ever at tempted in this county,) was highly creditable to all concerned. The display of fruits, veget ables, smeetm6ats, pickles, jellies, paintings, seeds, fancy-work, and implements of husband ry far exceeded our expectations. As the award of the judges will not be made known until the close of the day, we must be content with a bare allusion to some of the articles on exhibi tion. FETJIT8. Mrs. Samnel Hall showed magnificent speci mens of the genuine Bartlett pear, of unusual size, ripe, juicy and delicious. We havo never seen them surpassed even in the restaurants of Broadway, New York. Of peaches, too, some of the Tinley variety, presented by Mrs. Vinson, were the largest and most inviting we have ever seen. Apples, grapes, melons, and luscious looking blue figs, also tempted tho appetite of tho visitors. vegetables. These were restricted to tomatoes, egg plants, beets, oabbages, Irish and sweet potatoes, beans, and winter sq cashes. Some of Mrs. Hall’s cab bages, for size and solidity, wonld rival those of any market. We saw one egg plant or guinea squash, which measured nearly two feet in cir cumference, and must have weighed eight or ten pounds. Very fine specimens of new sweet potatoes also were to be seen. needle wore. Beantifnlly embroidered garments of various patterns, qnilts of elegant patohwork, and a va riety of other articles rendered this department very attractive in appearance. One raised quilt by Mrs. Branham, was greatly admired for the brilliancy of its colors, and the imiqne charac ter of the patches. Years must have been con sumed in Us fabrication. SWEETMEATS AND PICKLES. Of these there was a very large and tempting display, embracing every kind of jelly, marme- Iedo, preserves, catsnp, etc. We noticed partic ularly a watermelon preserved whole and flanked by carved specimens of the same fruit, artisti cally arrayed. This was the handiwork of Miss Florence Brown. HOME MANUFACTURES. Under this bead we are constrained to men tion a very fino and tasUly woven piece of striped jeans, from the loom of Mrs. Maddox, which in quality and texture could not be ex celled by any of the mills of New England. Tho color was decided and chaste, and the fabric such as wonld better become a “true bine” Southern bridegroom, than the finest broad cloth of Parisian impoitation. One pair of cot- ton socks, knitted with cotton which had been separated by hand from the seed, and fashioned by an-old lady aged aevonty-fivo years, claimed much attention from their superior uniformity and smoothness. We most not forget to men tion that a tempting tray containing plates of light bisenit, cake, fried chicken, and apple jelly, all prepared in the nicest manner, was shown as the exclusive work of Ida Wiggins, a child bnt eight years old. What a jewel of a wifo and house keeper will tins pretty maid make to so some fortunate swain horeafter! DOMESTIC WINES. Of these there were several varieties, all pure and delicious, including blackberry, scupper- nong, catnwba and apple. The latter we had □ever seen before, and can testify that the taste and boquet of this now beverage are indeed de lightful. It was prepared by Miss Hollingshead- OTHER ARTICLES. Time will not allow ns to dwell npon the beantifnl paintings, and specimens of fancy work, (inclndicg an exquisite flower stand of gothio design, also fashioned by the fair fingers of Miss Hollingshead) which were arranged on every side. We saw also gigantio stalks of com having ciff/ti ears, luxuriant bunches of growing tobacco, specimens of indigenous and foreign varieties of grapes raised in this region, samples of seed wheat, oats, and rye, and quite a variety of improved plows, wheelbarrows, and other implements of industry, all apparently of the best description. Bnt the sotrni of the car whistle admonishes me to cat short incontinently, these harried notes. The Fair was eminently a success, and re flects great credit npon onr Houston friends. In closing permit me to say*tfcat the mantle of their father has certainly fallen npon the shoulders of the sons and tho elder Byington, who have charge of the hotel at this place. Everything that a reasonable gnest can desire is famished to him, and the cuisine and attend ance are unexceptionable. Long may they live to cater to an appreciating public. J. BY TELEGRAPH.

The barometer has fallen slightly at the Rooky Mountain stations since Thursday afternoon, and has risen in tho extreme northwest. The area of lowest pressure which was in Wisconsin has moved southeastward, and now extends from southern Illinois to Lake Ontario. Severe local storms have marked its progress, and light rains with threatening weather now prevail very generally from Ontario to Arkansas. The ba rometer has fallen on tho Gulf coast, and rain is again reported from Louisiana to Florida and North Carolina. The pressure has varied bnt little on the middle and east Atlantio where clear and hazy weather has prevailed with south east and easterly winds. Probabilities: Clear and warm weather will probably be experienced on Saturday from Mis souri to Lake Huron and westward. Low ba rometer with cloudy weather will probably con tinue from Louisiana to Virginia and eastward. Low barometer with cloudy weather and local storms will probably extend daring the after noon over New York and New England.
