Midicil Mistakes.—It took tho faculty about a
1 years to discover that the best way to cure
•Has was not to rendor tho patient too weak to
etsod with it. Within the last twenty years, how-
' w, the whole system of medical practice haebeen
t for tho bettor. In disoasos or complaints
1 by excessive heat, for instance, the doctors
Q° longer recommend tho redaotion of the invalid's
i by prostrating medicines. The vast auo-
Jess which has attended the uso of Hoatetter's
i Bitters as a remedy for debility, has given
|v*u the moet prejudiced members of tho old school
i insight into the only true and rational theory of
Cantharides, calomel, and overpowering
) of opium, arc now among the obsolete nos-
s of another age. The lancet, once as mnch
be legitimate weapon of the physician as the sword
b of the soldier, is seldom drawn from its case,
oe principle of life is no longer drained from the
s by the quart, and water gruel for the etrength-
■ invalid has ceased to be considered an appro
bate diet. Vigor is the motto of tho rational mem-
|** o! the profession, and they understand, at
•t, the value of a sterling vegetable tonic. So,
, with the people at large; and without consult-
pS medical men at all, they have adopted the bit-
i at a household remedy, thereby economising
i cash and health.
J Note the fact, that Hoatetter’s Stomach Bitters is
J - - in bottles only, never in hulk, and that the
s springing up In various parts of the coun-
7* and sometimes offered aa substitutes for the
: national specific, are all utterly worthless.

THURSDAY MORNING. AUGUST 24, 1871.
Augusta Wateuitexoxs.—Another lot of those
fina melons, jnst received at S. T. k B. P.
Waleeb’s, 8S Cherry street
The Bibb County Agricultural Society meets
on Saturday next, at 10 a. si., in the rooms of
the Society, over Lightfoot k Jaquos’store, on
Third street
We heard an absurd rumor yesterday that a
death had recently occurred in Macon from yel
low fever. It is hardly necessary to say that
there was not the slightest foundation for it.
“The City of Macon.”—As the Charleston
line of steamships have done onr city the honor
of naming their most magnificent vessel after
our city, we hope the compliment will be appre
ciated by presenting her with a full set of colors.
Hazob Floub.—The flour trade is a specialty
with Messrs. Small k Gamblo, grooers and pro
vision dealers on Third street. Their Hazor
brand of flour is particularly fine, and is a great
favorite with housekeepers. Give it a trial.
A TninmT.T-.Temptation.—“It is such a novel
as only Charles Reade could have written, in
its fertility of invention, wealth of incident,
originality, dramatic power, intense character
ization and startling innovations upon the liter
ature of fiction.” For sale by Bnows & Co.
Peesonal.—We are glad to seo again in the
city Col. Wm. H. Sparks, and to note that,
although verging upon three score and ten years
of age, he is still in the enjoyment of excellent
health, and is as active and lively in his move
ments os a cricket. Ha has been sojourning
for the last five or six months in New Orleans
and Louisiana generally.
Bucglaby.—Tho store of the Southern Prize
Package Company, on Cherry street, was bur
glariously entered on Tuesday night, and robbed
of about $40, which the thief or thieves ex
tracted from the prize boxes of candy. The
candy was strewn all over the floor. The thief
evidently expected to win ono of the large prizes,
but as look would have it; he failed to get hold
of the right box. *
Democratic Meeting.—There will bo a meet
ing of the Democracy of Bibb county at the
City Hall on Saturday morning next, at eleven
o’clock, for the purpose of appointing delegates
to the Senatorial Convention to nominate a
candidate to fill the vacancy occasioned by tho
resignation of T. J. Speer. The meeting is
called by authority of Hon. Thos. Hardeman,
Jr., Chairman of the Bibb County Democratic
Club. -1
Ws understand that tho Central Bailroad will
discharge its cotton at Ihe foot of Poplar street)
and that a platform will be built there for that
purpose. This will bo very convenient to the
warehouses. Tho arrangements for tho dis
charge and rocoption of freight by that com
pany now in operation and contemplation are
many times better than of yore. It is remark
able that they were not made when our roads
were first built.
Singleton, Hunt & Co.—This is ono of onr
staunchest and most reliable mercantile firms,
They are wholesale dealers in Boots, Shoes.
Hats, Tranks, Umbrellas, &o., on Second street,
near the National Bank. They have just re
ceived a fall and carefnlly selected stock of
goods in their line, and are now ready to open
the fall trade with a vim, and on an extensive
scale. Merchants in the small towns of Central
and Southwestern Georgia will save money by
calling at Singleton, Hunt & Co.’s, before%>nr-
chasing elsowhere, as they can do as well there
in filling small orders as in New York- All the
latest styles of boots, shoes and hats in store
and arriving weekly. See the advertisement.
The Weather Retorts.—Tho weather reports
sent ont from Washington are remarkably cor
rect. They are attracting universal attention,
and we presume in time must bo regarded of
tho utmost importance. When they first com
menced coming nobody attached any credit to
them, bnt they have got to be looked upon with
the deepest interest. They told us yesterday
morning that we wonld have stormy weather
during the day, and sure enough we had it. The
streets of the city were flooded about 3 o'clock
in the afternoon, the cloud being accompanied
with a furious wind. We are glad the science
of storms is beginning to be so well understood,
and hope in time that it will be reduced to ab
solute certainity.
In connection with the foregoing we might
appropriately state, that the storm of yesterday
afternoon was quite severe at the Park. Ono
of the large trees on the river bank, near the
race track, was uprooted, and a portion of one
of the framo bnildings in course of erection was
blown down. It was no fault of the timber or
workmanship that it gave way before the storm,
as it was just about in that condition when a
strong wind wonld be apt to injure it. The
damage will soon be repaired. * 1 5

The Labobatoet Pboperit.—Theheirs of ex-
Govomor Charles S. Maodonald have com
menced regnlar suit in the Superior Court,
against tho purchasers of the Laboratory proper
ty and grounds for its possession. As most
people know, it is tho place where the first great
State Fair was held, and includes all the exten
sive improvements placed thereon by the Con
federate government and the company which
afterwards bought it from the United States.
The property was condemned as spoils of war
by the United States and sold as snob, bnt un
der regular legal protest filed by tho attorney
of the heirs. The United States sold only a
quiet claim deed to the company and realized
$24,000 by tho sale, so no recourse can be had,
in cose the suit now pending goes against the
company.
The Macdonald heirs base their case upon
tho fact that the land was sold by the Adminis
trators against their united protest and author
ity, and we understand that they (the adminis
trators') acknowledge this to be fact. Able
counsel have been retained, and we presume
the matter will be of long duration in the
oo arts.
We regret the “hocklety” into which this
magnificent property has fallen, for we bad
hoped that now that it had been abandoned as
Fair Grounds it would be speedily turned into
one of the finest cotton factories in the South.
We hope yet the matter can be amicably adjust
ed and left to take that course. We suggest
that all parties come together, talk the matter
over in a friendly spirit and settle it without
going into interminable law suits abont it.
Large Cabbages.—Messrs. S. T. & B. P.
Walker received yesterday a crate of the largest
and finest cabbages of tho season. Also, a
fine lot of Pine Apples. Call on them to-day
and get some.
Calamo. Cocoantt.—Remember that S. T. k
B. P. Walker receive a freeh supply of those
delicious Caramels every week.
McLean's Cordial and Blood Purifier is the
best tonic and blood alterative in the world.

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
Synopsis of Wentlicr Statement.
Was Dep’t, Office Chief Signal Officer,)
Washington, D. C., August 23, 7:30 p. m. )
The area of highest pressure extends from
South Carolina to Maine, bnt the barometer,
after riaiDg somewhat, is now falling on the
middle and east Atlantic coast, and foggy and
cloudy weather has continued during the day
from Connecticut to Virginia. The area of low
pressure on the coast of Georgia, after causing
heavy rains and brisk easterly winds, has very
rapidly disappeared. Cloudy and threatening
weather is now reported in Northern Florida.
The barometer has fallen dnring the day from
the lower Lakes to Lake Superior, after having
risen considerably during the night. Cloudi
ness has increased from Michigan to New York,
and local storms have been reported from Mich
igan to Missouri.
Probabilities: Tho barometer will probably
oontfnue to fall with light rain to-night on
lakes Erie, Ontario and Huron. Clear weather
will probably oontinuo on Thursday from Mich
igan to Louisans and westward. The barom-
eter will probably continue to fall in the New
England States with partially cloudy weather.
Partially cloudy and clear weather with fresh
winds are probable for the middle and
