A. HUFF. Christian Eqcaxjtt.—At a Primitive Baptist feet washing, in the country, on Sunday last, a good old colored member of the chnrch had his feet washed by tho Deacon, just as if they were as white as those of any member of the church. All Macon darkeydom had a big camp.meet ing on Sunday last at Seago’s station, on the Southwestern railroad. We did not connt the cars of the train which carried tho crowd ont from this city, bnt there must have been fifteen or twenty, and every one of them was densely packed with darkies. Latino or Corner Stone.—This afternoon at 4 o'clock, the Masonic fraternity will lay the corner stono of their Temple, now in course of erection on Mnlberry street. The ceremonies are of a peculiarly impressive and imposing character, and there will, doubtless, be a vast assembly of our citizens present to witness them. Mr. Samuel Lawrence, Grand Master of Masons in Georgia, is in tho city and will officiate. A number of other Masons of prominence, from different parts of the State, will be in attend ance and assist in the performance of the cere monies. In this connection we might state that M. W. Grand Master Samuel Lawrence delivered a most chaste, eloquent and instructive address last night in the Hall of Macon Lodge, No. 5, on the subject of Masonry. The hall was crowd ed by resident and visiting members. It will be seen in onr advertising columns that St. Omer Commandery No. 2, Knights Templar, will appear in fall dress in the proces sion this afternoon and at the laying of the cor ner stone. We should state also that Grand Master Law rence will assemble an Occasional Grand Lodge at 10 o’clock this morning for the purpose of laying the corner stone. The several lodges of the city will participate, and all visiting breth ren are fraternally invited to join them. The ladies and public generally are also cordially in vited to be present. The citizens of Macon feel proud of the splendid temple which the Masonic Fraternity of the State are erecting in their midst, and they will attest their interest and pride in it, by turning out in large num bers this afternoon. BY TELEGRAPH. New Firm.—Dr. A. P. Collins nnd Mr. Frank M. Heath have associated themselves together nndor the firm name of Collins &. Heath, for the purpose of conducting a real estate and insur ance business and as general commission mer chants. Both aro good business men and fully reliable. They can be found at No. G9 Second street, lately occupied by Hon. Goo. M- Logan, deceased. Diabolical—Some mischievous, or moan principled wretch, cut the ropos nearly in two, Wednegday night last, by which two men were elovating themselves on a platform, for painting and tuck-pointing the walls of Johnston's jew elry store. Fortunately, the nearly severed ropes were noticed by tho workmen on tho next morning, or in all probability both would have been killed. Whether the act was merely a piece of mischief on the part of boys, or tho design of some fiend in human shape, is un known. , Bbown House.—Since tho new and elegant tile floor has boon laid in the offico at the Brown House, and tho now iron lintels plaoed at tho doors, it lias given the lower portion of the ho tel a palatial and stylish caste, in harmony with the splendidly famished apartments overhead. We can jnstly claim now, that it has no supe rior in the South, if in the wholo country, as a hoteL Its proprietors are gentlemen of spirit, courtesy and energy, and conduct tho various departments with the precision of clock-work. There is no jar, confusion, or roughness about it, and a guest is mado to foel that he is at homo with every comfort and luxury at com mand. Bed Head.—Through the evor.courteous and kind attention of onr friends Messrs. Holmes & Olay, who furnished ns with an elegant “turn ont," we spent Snnday forenoon with tho crim son pink of the Savannah News, in strolling through tho quiet groves and solemn shades of Bose Hill Cemetery. Wo fonnd Pinky to bo a most genial, witty and companionable gentle man, much as wo have said to the contrary not withstanding, and we listened with pride and pleasure to tho expression of his almost entha- siastic admiration of the romantic beauties of our oemetery. Many Bpots he characterised as the most beautiful ho had seen in tho State. There was but one thing wo regretted during the ramble, and that was, not a dipper, cup or gourd could be fonnd at any of the springs. We xespeotfnlly suggostthat Crystal Spring, atleast, be supplied with a dipper, and let it be securely chained to the iron railing around the spring. Pjnky also greatly admired our numerous stately and magnificent family residences, the new Court-house, etc., and went into ecstacies over the boanties of the Central City Park. Ho likes Macon the best in tho world, bnt he will make war upon its editors when at home, and if be don’t stop it, ho will bo furnished with another trip to tho cemetery. We had a pretty chance to pop him head-foremost in the Crystal Spring on Snnday, and get rid of him, bnt his dimin utive size, mild bine eyes, and interesting gab, plead eloquently against the “deep damnation” of disposing of him in that way, and wo let him slide. The State Fair.—Within the last day or two we have conversed with several gentlemen of tho city who attended the Agricultural Conven tion at Borne last week, and they are all of the opinion that tho Fair will be largely attended by the people of North Georgia, as well as by those from other portions of the State. It will be re membered that tho Stale Apricultural Society adjourned at Borne, to meet again^p this city on the evening of the 23d of October, the first day of the Fair, that its officera might clearly understand all matters pertaining to the exhibi tion, location on tho grounds of their various offices, the schedule, in fact of the Fair, so that there would be no confusion, misunderstand* ings, delays, otc. So far as the preparation of of tho grounds and buildings are concerned, we have only to.Bay that they will be ready in time for tho Fair. Mayor Huff is giving them his personal attention and superintendence, and knowing the spirit and energy of the man, we know that ho will make things come to time. It has been suggested, and’wisely, too, we think, that a resident Committee of gentlemen be appointed to assist tho officers of tho Socioty in the discharge of their du ties, by giving them all desired information in regard to tho various buildings on the grounds and other local matters, and moro particularly to assist exhibitors in arranging their articles for exhibition, and aiding them in securing board and lodging for themselves and forage for their stock. It is desirable above all things, to give no just cause for dissatisfaction to any body, in regard to the management of the Fair. Let every exhibitor have a fair showing, and every visitor a fair sight, and all will pass off pleasantly and successfully. In the awarding and distribution of premiums there will be no delay. As we authoritatively stated a few days ago, tho premiums will be paid in greenbacks on the Fair Grounds, immediately after they are awarded by the judges, and no successful exhibitor will experience the least delay or trouble on this score, as was the case at the Fair of 1869.

Every citizen should have a pride in seeing that the obligation of the city, so far as its issue of tbeBO bills is concerned, should be maintained invio late, and the writer will cheerfully approve of any measure looking to this end by taxation or otherwise, bnt let nothing be done which will tarnish the fair fame of the city in this matter. CnrzEN. Runaways.—There wore two xnnawaya of horses on Saturday afternoon last, in one of which Mr. James Baskin was thrown from a buggy on upper Poplar street, and painfully braised and cut abont the face. A little son of Mr. Popo Freeman was thrown from a spring wagon on Fourth street, while the horse to which it was attached was running away. Tho littlo fellow was not mnch hurt, but he made a narrow escape from death or serious injury. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Dally Review or tlie JHnrkeL OFFICE TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER,!

WarDep’t, Office Chief Signal Officer,] Washington, IX C., August 14, 7:40 r. m. >" Tho barometer has risen slightly since Sun day afternoon at the Pacific and Bocky Moun tain stations, and remains stationary north and west of Missouri. It has fallen in 'Wisconsin and Michigan, and threatening weather is re ported from Southern Wisconsin and Iowa. Tel egraphic communication with stations in upper Michigan is prevented by extensive fires, and smoke and haze is reported from Michigan to New York, and to Kentucky. Bain and cloud have continued in Florida and South Carolina, and are now reported from Louisiana eastward. The maximum temperature has extended from Missouri and Arkansas to West Virginia and Eastern Tennessee. Southeasterly winds, with partially cloudy and clear weather, has pre vailed on the middle and east Atlantic coast. Probabilities: The barometer will probablyrise in th^northwest without material change in the weather. The conditions are _ favorably for local storms to-night in Wisconsin and Hlinoi3, which will probably be repeated Tuesday after noon over the same regions. Lighter rains, if any, will probably be experienced to-morrow on the Gc'f coast, and increased cloudiness with generally pleasant weather throughout the Atlantic States.

NEW ARRANGEMENT Having disposed of all but a remnant of onr Groceries, we think proper to announce that we shall not replenish that branch of our business, as we have determined to abandon it altogether. This change does not contemplate any redaction of our business, but is found necessary to encourage rather than check the rapid growth of our business in other departments. In future we shall devote ourselves ex clusively to DRY GOODS, BOOTS AND SHOES, CLOTHING AND HATS, FURNISHING GOODS, AND NOTIONS.' In our Betail Department, we eliall offer Dry Goods alone. By Wholesale, we shall offer at all 86fr- sona the best stock in all the enumerated branches to be found in this State, or south of New York. We invite the attention of Merchants to an examination of our stock of Domestics and Woollen Goods* Which were bought before the late advance, and in which wo can offer great inducements. We shall » deal heavily in all GEORGIA MADE GOODS, And have made special arrangements with leading Factories whereby wo shall never require more than the Factory price. We shall make a special business of CALICOES, And shall keep at all times a stock from which any size order can be filled. As we seldom fail to make good impressions on merchants who know their business, we hope to re ceive calls from many this season who have hitherto failed to do so, as our stock will be unusually at tractive, and our promptness in buying certain goods before the advance enables ns to offer some good bargains.
