Georgia, we fear, will have to bny about one- ihird of her corn snpplies next year; bnt it is consoling to reflect that this misfortune in the mult of drouth and not of inadequate efforts on the part of planters. A man can bear misfor tune a good deal better when he can feel that it comes through no fault. In this condition of affairs it is consoling to reflect that western corn and provisions are likely to be abundant and cheap next yoar. The Cohunbos Ban correctly nuns up the situation, thus: Two Gbeat Necessities—Cohn and Meat.— Oar information from the West clears all donbts from oar own mind that tho corn crop this year is the belt tbit bas rewarded the labors of tho farmer in that quarter for yoars past. Already, in almost every portion of the States of Iowa, Nebraska, Indiana, Minnesota and Missouri, corn is offered in the fields and in the cribs at from 10 to 15 cents per bushel, lie ports from Illinois are eqnsUy encouraging, and the com crop in Kentucky promises to surpass all pre cedent This promised abundance of the great ceresl Ik fortunate for the Booth, where, though the pianVrs^devoted more of their lands to corn .this year thin for any year since the war, their crops hive, been blasted ip-many sections by nnpropttlons seasons, and* largo quantities will have to be purchased from the West to make np their deficit. Cheap com at the West will insure cheap bsoon and pork, articles so extensively consumed in making onr crops. Large as was the last bog crop of the West, it will donbtless lie eclipsed by the next, and it does not seem likely that the prices for the hog produet can role high. Bacon _and pork are now down to the prices paid before tho war, and our planters can safely calculate that there will be no rise for a year or more to come. The Whole Matter In a N'ut-sliell. We find the following in the Chronicle and Sentinel, of Wednesday. It covers tho whole ground, and .deserves, and will receive the hearty commendation of all men who sincerely desire the overthrow of Iiadicalism. The Chronicle says: ~ j* Now, as to the “New Departure Democracy,” we hold and have hold that while wo cannot ac cept their platform, it is folly to fight them ahonld their opinions be in oonsonance with those entertained by tho mass of the Northern Democrats. We cannot form a third party, for that would be worse than madness. We cannot expect to take the lead, crack onr whips and make the Northern Domoerats fall in the rear, for that would be both presumptions and un reasonable. We must be content for tho present to be followers and not leaders. Tho people of the Booth must go into tho contest determined to vote for tho eandidatos of the Domocr&tio party, even if that party, in National Conven tion assembled, should soo fit to ignoro tho 14th and 15th amendments os living, vital issues. It is all folly for a few papers in Georgia to bo seeking to oreate Btrifo and dissensions in tho forty at this timo by prematurely forcing the campaign. What wo want now is qniet and harmony in tho party. Tho Northern Demo crats are our friends. We can only hopo for redemption throngh them, and into thoir hands the planning of tho campaign for the defeat of Radicalism must be committed. Should tho Pendletons, Soymonrs, Blairs, Brookses, Voor- beea, Hendricks, Hoffmans, Thurmans, Cassor- Ues, Blacks, and thousands of other good men and true at tho North, who aro in favor of froo government and constitutional liberty, adopt a platform of principloa, wo wonld ho willing to accept it—fooling assured that they would not oommit the Southern people to any policy or painciples hostile to their interest or self- reapect. We hold that sound policy and good judg ment would dictato that tho discussion of na tional polities by the Southern press is prema ture, and calculated to do more harm than good. Georgia papers have been pre-eminently con- ipicuoua in this respect among their Southern cotemporariea. Of conrso wo do not question the right of any of onr yonng and ardent co- temporaries to push themselves into a heated controversy. Bnt wo doubt its necessity. Thore. is time enough ahead, and work enough, too, to try the mettle of all boforo tho raco is over. We counsel forbearance, toleranco of opin ion, and charity among all who honestly labor for the overthrow of Radicalism and its infa mous frauds and corruptions. Though we of South may not approvo of all the moans by which the end is to be accomplished, wo will thank God when the nows is proclaimed that constitutional governments aro again restored to the Booth and the North. Tiie Road Laws. Houston Counts, Ga., August 25, 1871. Eii[ton Telegraph and Messenger : There has been a great deal said abont onr public roads being in such bad condition, and what should be done, eto. Now sirs, let me call your attention to the fact that the present road laws of tho State are very burdensome on a large portion of her oitizens, and unjust in tho extreme. Who are tho road workers of onr State, under her existing laws ? All male citizens between the ages of 16 and 50 years, who are not other wise exempted by law, and a very large propor tion of those who do the most howling are either by age or other means or laws : and the workers who havo to keep up the road, not one in fifty, neither own house, wagon or car riage, end yet under onr present law have to work and keep up the roads for those owning the atook and carriages which tear and destroy the roads. In fact, have all the burden to bear. Now airs, is there any justice in such laws, or *00 we expect good roads under such nnjnst and tyranicallaws. Justice demands the repealof onr rood laws. and such laws enacted as will equalize the burden and make each citizen do his duty in keeping good public roads. I do not believe the property holders of Georgia are un willing to do their duty or bear their portion of *uy expense, and believe ii is the duty of onr oext Legislature to alter onr road laws so as to teach every citizen and have him bear his eqnal portion of road duty. Daring slavery, the rich man tore np tho roads, and his servants very Properly worked it; bnt now that servant should not bear more than his share of public burden or duty; and onr roads should be put out to the lowest bidder. Let each man subject to road duty be taxed so much, as a head or road Ux, and so much on property to make enough to have onr roads kept in good order. In this way you make all work the roads, and no exemption—bnt each man bear his portion of •k« burden. Road Coitmissioxek.

SARATOGA TABLEAUX. What Happened When the Gas Went Out anil What the Candles Revealed. “Law,” the Saratoga correspondent of the Now York Commercial Advertiser, gives a cap itally comic account of what happened at one of the hotels there tho other night when tho gas went out. He says: It was ten o’clock. The stage drove up from the depot. Almost every lady expected her husband on the train. Many young ladies ex pected their sweethearts. Neither the stage, the driver, nor the horses were visible. From force of habit the passengers felt their way to the reception room. I got mixed np with the crowd. Twenty-fivo married ladies, seven old maids, and four yonng ladies commenced greet ing tho passengers in tho darkness. “My dear William 1 why did yon Btay so long ?” exclaimed a sweet yonng wife, and she threw her arms aronnd my neck—onr lips met. I wasn’t going to be n darned fooL Far different. Now, a dear, sweet, liquid-eyed brunette threw her arms wildly around me. “O, Eu gone, why did you not write oftener?'* she sobbed, and then she sank sweetly on my bos om. I said, “weep not, Jnlia,” and then kissed her sweetly twenty-two times. It was delicious. It made me think of my first wife and my college days at Yale. A ponderous ma tron now approached—dress decollete, hair a la pompadour. She took me in her arms and whispered, “O, Charles, did you bring my bean- tifw dog—-did yon ?” Madame, my namo is not Charles, and I hate dogs. I’d kill every d—d—d—, but she fell fainting at my feet. A sweet, golden-haired blonde now took my hand. She pressed it gently, saying: “ Dear Albert, I know it is you, and I am so glad to see yon! Yon won’t dance with Lizzie Smith, now, will yon? Now, do promlsome!” I said wouldn't. Then she held her cheek close to mine. It was hot with loVe’s yonng hopo and pure, sweet affection. We were very happy. None bnt a wicked man would have brought sadness to this sweet, puro young heart—full of confidence, warm with virgin affection and beau- tifnl with splendid girlishness. “ Do yon still love me, Albert ?” sho whis pered. “ Undoubtedly,” I remarked. “ How much, darling ?” “ A heap.” “O, I am too happy I” Bhe murmured, as she twisted her fingers in my auburn hair and held me in a sweet embrace. This sort of thing wont on for seventeen min utes, when C. Leland appeared in the distance ■with a tallow candle. I quietly withdrew and mingled unobserved in the crowd. As the can dle appeared, twenty-seven young gentlemen wore seen shaking hands with as many young ladies in tho different comers. I have seldom seen such an affecting scene. It was a great display of affection. One married gentleman was holding the hands of two ladies. The hair of the ladies was generally crimpless, while the hair of tho yonng gentlemen did not display a parting place. I reflected, “how kin such things bo, and overcome ns like a summer show er?” I consulted with J. Billings. He says they kon’t. So I resolved to leave the placo. Business is Business. It is a long time since anything better than thiB has appeared: The editor of tho Colorado Herald had occa sion to leave town for two or three days, and he committed his paper, daring his absence, to the -chargo of a yonng man, a novice in journalism, whom he had just engaged as bis assistant. Be fore leaving, he instructed tho ambitions young editor not to permit any chance to go unim proved to force the paper and the very - small size of the subscription prico upon the atten tion of the public. “Always keep before your mind tho fact that the object of this paper is to extend its circulation,” he snid; “and whenever yon see a chance to insert a puff of the Herald in any notice yon mako, pile it on os thick as yon can. Keep the people stirred np all tho time, yon understand, so that Ihey wiU believe the Herald is the grontest shoot in the United States.” Tho parting tear was shed, and tho editor loft. The following night, - while ho was far away from home, his wife died very sud denly. Upon tho assistant devolved the duty of announcing tho sad intelligence to the public. Ho did it as follows: “gone, iiut not forgotten.” We aro compelled, this morning, to perform a duty yhich is peculiarly painful to the able assistant editor, who has been engaged upon this paper at an enormons expenso, in accord ance with onr determination to make tho Herald a first-class journal. Last night death suddenly and unexpectedly snatched away from our do mestic hearth (the best are advertised under tho head of stoves and furnaces npon onr first page), Mrs. Agatha P. Borns, wife of Rufus P. Borns, the gentlemanly editor of the Herald. (Terms three dollars a year, invariably in ad vance. ) A kind mother and an exemplary wife. (Office over Coleman’s grocery, up two flights of stairs. Knock hard.) “We shall miss thee, mother, we shall miss thee.” (Job printing so licited.) Funeral at half-past four, from the house, just across tho street from the Herald office. Gone to bo an angel now. (Advertise ments inserted for ten cents a square.") Well, tho editor arrived homo that day at noon. Slowly and sadly ho was observed to arm himself with a double barrelod fowling- piece, into which he inserted abont two pounds and a half of bullets. He marched over to the office, followed by an immense crowd. The as sistant editor was busy in painting a big placard to be tacked on tho hearse. It bore the legend, “Buy your coffins of Simms, over the Herald office.” The assistant editor cast his eye around and perceived his chief. Caro sat upon that wan cheek, and thunder clothed his brow. He leveled his gun. The assistant did not wait. With one wild and awful yell he jumped from the second story window, and struck out for the golden shores of the Pacific. It is believed he eventually swam over to Ohina.— Chicago Post. A drove of three hundred buffaloes one day last week while fleeing from an approaching train on tho Kansas Pacific Road ran wildly throngh the village of Fossil Creek. The in habitants brought out their guns and pistols and made it red hot for them. RAILROAD TIME TABLE. MACON AND WESTERN RAILROAD. LEAVE. ARRIVE. Macon 7.56 a. m. 1.-10 a 6.06 p. m. 8.35 p.

VTANY a human being bas passed away, for whose iiA death there was no other reason than tho neglect of known and indisputably proven means-of oure. Those near and dear to family and iriends are sleep ing tho dreamless slumber into which, had they calmly adopted -r r - • DR. JOSEPH II. SCHEKCH’S SIMPLE - TREATMENT, and availed themselves of his wonderful efficacious medicines, they would not have fallen. Dr.Sehenck has in his own case proved that wherever sufficient vitality remains, that vitality, by his medicines and his directions for their use, is quickoned into health ful vigor. In this statement there is nothing presnmptuons. To tho faith of the invalid is made no representation that is not a thousand times substantiated by living and visiblo works. Tho theory of the cure by Dr. Schcnok’s medicines is as simple as it is unfailing. philosophy requires no argument. It is self- assuring, self-convincing. The beawood Tonic and MandrakePills are the first two weapons with which tha citadel of the malady is assailod. Two-thirds of the cases of consumption originate in dyspepsia and a functionally disordered liver. With this condition the bronchial tnbes ‘"sym- pathize” with the stomach. They respond to the morbifio action of the liver. Here then comes the culminating result, and the setting in, with all its dis tressing symptoms, of ' •£’ CONSUMPTION. The Mandrake PUls are composed ol one of Nature’s noblest gilts—thePodophillum Feltatum. They pos sess ell the blood-searching, alterative properties of calomel, but unlike calomel, they “LEAVE NO STING BEHIND.” The work or cure is now beginning. The vitiated and mucous deposits in the bowels and In the ali mentary canal are ejected. Theliver, like a clock, is wound np. It arouses from its torpidity. The stom ach acts responsively, and tlio patient boglns to feel that he is getting, at last, A SUPPLY OP GOOD BLOOD. The Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction with the Pills permeates and assimilates with the food. Chylifica- tion is now progressing without its provious tortures. Digestion becomes painless, and the cure is seen to be at hand, 'i'b ere is no more flatulence, no excerbation of the stomach. An appetite setsin. Now comos tho greatest Blood Rjirifier ever yet given by an indulgent lather to suffering man. Sehenck’s Pulmonic Syrup comes in to perform its functions and to hasten and complete the cure. It enters at once upon its work. Nstore cannot be oheated. It collects and ripens the impaired and dis eased portions of the lungs. In the lorm of gathv- ings. it prepares them for expectoration, and lo 1 in a very short time the malady is vanquished, the rotten throno that it occupied is renovated and made new, and tuepatient. in all the dignity of regained vigor, steps forth to enjoy the manhood or the womanhood that was GIVEN UP AS LOST. The second thing is. the patients must stay in a warm room until tney get well: it is almost impossi ble !o prevent taking co.’d when the lungs are dis eased, but it must bo prevented or a care cannot be effected. Fresh air and riding out. especially in this section of the country in the fall and winter season, aro ali wrong. Physicians who recommend that course lose their patients, if their lungs are badly diseased, and yet. because they are in thehonse they inu.-t not nit down quiet: they must walk about the room as much and as fast as tho strength will bear, to get up a good circulation of blood. The pationts must keep in good spirits—bo determined to got well. This has a great deal to do with the appetite, and is the great point to gain. To despair of cure after such evidence of its possibility in the worst cases, and moral certainty in all others, is sinful. Dr. Sehenck’s personal statement to the Faculty of his own core was in these modest words: “Many years ago I was in the list stages of con sumption, conflnod to my bed, and at one time my physicians thought that I could not live a week: then like a drowning man catching at straws, I heard of and obtained the preparations which I now offer to the public, and they made a perfect cure of me. It seemed to me that I could feel them penetrate my wholesystem. They soon ripened the matterinmy longs, and I would spit up more tbanapint of offen sive yollow matter every morning for a long time. As soon as that began to subside, my cough, fever, pain and night sweats all began to leave me, ard my appetite became so great that it was with difficulty that I could keep from eating toe much. I soon gained my strength and havo grown in flesh ever since.” ... ,. , “I was weighed shortly after my recovery.” added the Doctor, ’'then looking like a more skeleton: my weight was only ninety-seven pounds: my present weight is two hundred and twcnir-five (225) pounds, and tor years I have enjoyed uninterrupted health.” Dr. Schonck has discontinued his professional visits to New York and Boston. Be or his son, Dr.J.H. Schenck. Jr.. Kill continue to ,-ee patients r.t their offioe. No. 15North Sixth street, Philadelphia, every Saturday from 0 a, X. to 3 p. u. Those who wish a thorough examination with tho Respirometer wiU bo charged IS. The K©spirometer declares the exact condition of tho lungs, and patients can readily learn whether they are euimole or not. Tho directions for taking tho medicines are adapted to the intelligence even of a child. Follow these di rections, and kind Nature will do the rest, excepting that in »me cases the Mandrake Pills are to be taken in increased doses: tho three medicines needno other accompaniments than the amide instructions that ac company them : First create appetite. Of returning health hunger is the most welcome symptom. When iterates, as it will come, let the despairing at onee be of good cheer. Good blood at once follows, the cough loosens, tha night sweat is abated. In a short time both of these morbid symptoms are gone forever. Dr. Sehenck’s medicines are constantly kept in tens of thousands of famines. As a laxative or purgative the Mandrake Pills are a standard preparation twhile Pulmonic Syrup, as a curerof congas and colds, may be regarded as a prophylacteric against con sumption in any of its forms. .

Upwards of FOUR HUNDRED are in successful operation in private residences, churches, factories, etc. No other apparatus is operated on the same or any similar principle, which guarantees a light of uniform quality, in either argand or open Burners, WITHOUT THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL HEAT. The practical operation of the Machines can be seen at the PASSENGER SHED of the Railroad Companies in MACON; also at the Printing and Publishing House of Messrs. J. W. BURKE & CO. We call attention to the following extract from a letter from J. W. Borko, Esq.: Maoon, Ga., March 23,1871. We have had one of the U. S. Gaslight Comps ny’s Machines, in operation since the 10th of No vember, 1870, and it is perfectly satisfactory to ns in its general working and cheapness. We paid the Macon Gaslight Company for four months of last year and the year previous—viz: November, De cember, January and February—$399.56. In using this Machine our gas for the four corresponding months cost ua $114—thus saying us in that time $285.56. The light is quite as good aa that of the City Gas Company, and has the advantage of being entirely nnder our central to use as we please. During the severe weather in December it burned without intermission, not being at all affected by the freeze. We see no trouble in the Machine or the light, and cheerfully recommend it.” [Signed] L 6 J. W. BUBKE & CO. For information or testimonials, apply to EDWARD ROWE, Post-office box 159.
