Recollect.—The Memphis drawing will take
place on the 31 sL Monday is the last day for
the sale of tickets.
More Rain*.—Another heavy shower of rain
fell in the city yesterday afternnoon, and sev
eral light ones daring the night.
Messrs. Jonathan Collins & Son received
another bale of new cotton yesterday from Mr.
AllenWhitlingham, of Taylor county. It classed
New York middling, and sold for 1CJ cents.
Citt Beal Estate at Auction.—Mr. W. W.
Chapman, of Griffin, will sell on the first Tues
day in October next, several desirable pieces of
real estate in this city. Seo the advertisement.
Postal.—Wo learn that a new postal arrange
ment will go into effect on the 1st of October, by
which letters to Germany will be sent via Eng
land at the rate of seven cents per half ounce,
or fraction thereof. The present rate of post
age by that ronte is ten cents.
Bloody Aitrat.—A fight occurred in the bar
room on the comer of Third and Poplar streets,
on Thursday night, in which a man named
Thompson, sellinsly stabbed and beat with a
chair, another man named John AvanL Thomp
son was arrested and is now in custody await
ing the result of Avant’s wounds.
Child Lost.—Little Willie Harris, a son of
Mrs. Harris, daughter of Major B. F. Dense, of
the Planters’ Hotel, was missing nearly all of
yesterday, and until a late hour last night run
ners were out in search of the sprightly little
fellow. The family were, of course, in great
distress. Who has seen him, or who knows
anything of his whereabouts ?
The Meetings To-day.—There will be two
meetings of importance held in the city to-day.
The first is tho regular monthly meeting of
tho Bibb County Agricultural Society, at their
rooms over Lightfoot k Jaques’ grocery store,
on Third street, at 10 o'clook, and the other is
a meeting of the Democracy of the county at
the City Hall, 11 o’clock, to appoint delegates
to attend the Senatorial Convention for the
nomination of a canditato for the State Senate
from this district.
Colquitt & Baogs.—The former of these
gentlemen is known and esteemed by fame at
'east to every Georgian. The latter is an old
and successful merchant of Southwest Georgia,
and thoroughly versed in the ootton business.
Their card will be found in another column.
Hardeman k Spares—This old, prominent and
popular warehouse firm again send greeting to
their host of friends and patrons in Central and
Southwestern Georgia, through the columns of
onr paper this morning, and renew the tender
of their services to planters for the storage and
sale of cotton. It is altogether unnecessary for
us to refer to tha experience, reliability and
facilities of this old firm for conducting the
warehouse business. They are known to nearly
every body in Georgia, and what is the use of
tolling folks what they already know. See their
card.
Magistrate’s Court.—Judge Granniss had a
rich case before him yesterday, which involved
the ownership of a game chicken cock. Two
men appeared as owners of the chicken, and
both had warrants ont against the party in whose
possession the fowl was found. We promised
to call no names, and hence wo are deprived of
giving the details, which were of a highly hu
morous character and attracted quite a crowd in
the oonrt room. Tho rooster was brought into
court and occasionally asserted its presence with
a shrill and oar-piercing crow. Tho court at
last found the rightful owner and levied costs
upon the defendant, amounting to something
over $12.
Coxsueial i'rxicm.—Nothing tends more to
connubial happiness Ilian cheerful and healthy in-
fAnts and children. Mrs. Whitcomb's Syrup is the
Etoat children's soothing remedy.
Collection op FbeightBills.—Wo hear com
plaint from nrnne nf our merchants against the
Maeon and Western road, in regard to the col
lection of freight bills. Heretofore the com
pany have presented their bills to merchants at
their places of business, bnt now the merchants
have to send the money to the freight depot in
order to pay their bills before the freight is de
livered. Those whom we have heard complaining
abont the matter say they have never failed or
refused to meet their freight bills promptly
when presented as heretofore, and the new ar
rangement subjects them at times to serious is-
oonvenience. It seemB to us that the road should
keep some active and reliable man in its service,
whose duty should be the collection of its freight
bills. It would certainly be a great accommo
dation to onr merchants. Not only so, but it is
the usual way of doing business in all branches.
Put off the Train.—On Tuesday last, an
old, decrepid and destitnte white man applied
to the Mayor pro tom., Hon. G. B. Boberts,
acting during the Mayor’s illness, for a pass on
the Macon and Augusta Boad to Augusta, where
he said he had friends or relatives who would
receive and take care of him. The pass was
kindly furnished and the old man took the train
on Tuesday for Augusta; bnt after rnnning out
a few miles, the conductor on the train, Mr.
Turner, examined the pass, and not being satis
fied with it, put the old man off the train in the
woods and left him. He wandered about, as
best he could, until yesterday, when he was
found by some one who came to town and re
ported tho matter to the polioe, when an officer
was sent out in a buggy after him, and he was
brought in and taken to the hospital. The ao-
tton of the conductor in question, as reported to
us, requires some explanation.
In Other Days.—Wo “interviewed” an old
ootton buyer yesterday—the conversation run
ning upon the subject of Macon as a cotton
market, twenty-five and thirty years ago. “We
bail no railroads and no telegraph wires then,"
he said, “bnt we received more cotton than we
do now. You see this was the head of naviga
tion and every bale raised within 150 miles
was brought to Maoon, sold and shipped down
the river. One year we received 136,000 holes,
and almost every season from twenty to forty
thousand more than we have since our system
of railroads have been built I have seen the
streets of the city so blocked with wagons that
you could not get through them. These rail
roads have not helped us any you see, in this
respect, and I question if they have in any
other, after all that is said of them. We cotton
speculators had a bettor chance then than since.
News traveled slow. It was brought by pony
express from Savannah, was individual enter
prise, and was kept a profound secret except
from those in the ring. Onr merchants, too,
realized a great deal better profits for their
goods, and wo all made ten dollars then where
we make ono in this fast age. There were no
less than twenty-one different warehouses and
plaoes where cotton was stored.”
“Would you go back to those good old days?”
“That I would. People lived better, more in-
depently, more happy, more honest, more pros
perous. They raised everything they ate, made
all their more substantial clothing at home, bnt
yet they bought liberally of the finer grades of
goods from onr dealers, sugar, coffee and the
standard grades of groceries. Nearly all the
oolloesal fortunes you saw piled up here at the
beginning of the war were made before tho days
of railways. Men do not seem to travel the
road to fortune so rapidly in this day. The
railroads are fast absorbing the wealth of the
country. Fifty years from now it will belong to
them bodily.”
Was this old man right ?
•» .. . ,
McLean’s Cordial and Blood Purifier is the
best tonic and blood alterative in the world.
Messrs. Ducan k Johnston.—This old and
cpnient firm are extensively engaged in the cot
ton business, and are noted for their good sales
and prompt and upright dealings. Thoroughly
posted on all commercial matters, no bettor
factors are to be fonnd in the State. Bead their
card.
Messrs. Tison k Gordon.—The Benior of this
house is a native of Florida, and owes his sig
nal success in life from a very hnmble begin
ning, to the integrity and invincible energy
which has distinguished him always. No firm
in the State is more reliable, and few do a more
extensive business. See advertisement.
L. J. Guii.martin & Co.—The card of this
noted house graces almost all of our interior ex
changes, and it is evident they know the full
value of printer’s ink. Polite and affablo in
their manners, and extremely attentive to the
interests of patrons, with the aforesaid assistance
they are bound to lead the van in the race for
fortune.
P. W. Snts k Co.—Mr. Sima was formerly
one of the editors and proprietors of the Sa
vannah Republican, and os such is well and
favorably known. Besides doing a cotton com
mission business, his firm are agents and part
owners of the Eureka phosphate works near
New York. We oommend the firm and fertilizer
to onr merchants and planters.
John W. Anderson's Sons.—Worthy decend-
ants of a noble and distinguished sire, these
enterprising young merchants keep alive their
father’s name and preetige, “on ohange,” and
throughout the country. They are in the enjoy
of a prosperous business, which, doubtless,
will increase with each succeeding year. For
particulars see card.
W. H. Stark k Co.—This is one of the most
extensive commission and grocery houses in
Savannah, and is the sole agent for E. N. Coe’s
celebrated fertilizer.
Messrs. Stark <k Oo. are also prepared to make
liberal advances upon cotton consigned to them,
and keep on hand a largo stock of bagging,
Eureka ties and plantation supplies. Give them
a call.
Merchants visiting Macon^kll do well to ex
amine the stock of Truman k Green, Triangu
lar Block, who are offering great inducements
to wholesale buyers.
Ten barrels more of those goblets for 50c. a
set, just received and for sale by Truman k
Green, Triangular Block.
Wilted Down.—Ask tho man who cjmplainB of
“wilting down” in torrid weather what he lias done
to sustain his system under the extra strain impos
ed on his vitality. He may tell yon that he has
triod a variety of cathartics to purify his blood and
brighten his spirits. Under such treatment, of
oonrse, his strength has given way, and his ener
gies have become exhausted. What he requires is
a restorative, not a depletant. His blood is thin;
bis nerves have lost tbeir natural tension, and na
ture demands to be renovated and reinforced. The
means is within tho reach of all. For nearly a
score of years Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters baa been
building up broken constitutions, bracing and
strengthening attenuated frames, and affording
comfort, oaso and hope to thousands. As a pre
ventive of tho epidomics which make such havoc
with the health of the inhabitants of new settle
ments, this famous tonic is certainly without a
rival. Perhaps tho principal portion of its world-
wido fame is attributable to its astonishing cures of
dyspepsia, and all forms of indigestion. But these
are not a moiety of its triumphs. All the types of
biliousness yield to its persistent ueo. It is a regu
lating medicine of the highest order; and its effect
upon the secretions, when irregular, u most salu
tary.
Imposition of the groeseet character is sought to
be practiced upon the community by vendors, who
recommend under the name of “bitters,” fiery
compounds of a dangerous character, which they
attempt to substitute for the great national tonic.
Shun all such nostrums, and boo that you have tho
genuine Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, properly au
thenticated by label, name and stamp, and sold in
bottles only.

Synopsis of Weather Statement.
War Dzp’t, Office Chief Signal Officer,)
Washington, D. O., August 25, 7:40 p. m. )
The barometer has continued to fall during
the day over the Middle and Atlaniio States,
with increasing southerly winds. An area of
low pressure has developed from Ohio to Arkan
sas and Mississippi. The barometer has fallen
rapidly on the Gulf and in northern Florida.
No reports have been received from lower
Florida since Thursday afternoon, but there is
evidence of tho existence of a cyclone near SL
Augustine.
Probabilities: The barometer will probably
rise from Lake Superior to Maine, but will con
tinue low south of these points, with local storms
to-night On Saturday from Iowa and Arkansas
to New Jersey, and cf special severity in the
Ohio Valley, southeastern Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. The Florida cyclone will probably
on Saturday move over Bouth Georgia with in
creasing east winds on the South Atlantic ooasL
Lonhon, August 25.—Duke of Broglie and
Ledru Bollin have returned to London. The
determination of tho French government to
push in the Assembly and otherwise the disarm
ament of the National Guard is due to the dis
coveries made by the police as to the operations
of Internationals.
The Independence Beige to-day discredits the
reported appearance of cholera at Antwerp.
At Konigsburg, on Wednesday, 127 cases of
cholera and 4S deaths, and atDantzic, the same

His adherents in Spain are divided in opinion
as to what comae to pursue.
In tho Assembly to-day, tha amendment to
tho bill providing for the gradual disarmament
of the National Guard passed. Tho journals
sorrowfully comment on the scenes in the As

ation of his powers. Gen. Faicftierbe has writ
ten letters censuring the Assembly and resigning
his seat as deputy.
