The furious wind yesterday played havoc with

former flapping in the breeze, tom to shreds.
Snch signs are of little account any way, and
their destruction is immaleri&L
Posttoned.—Tho president of the Bibb
County Agricultural Society, CoL T. G. Holt,
jr., postponed the regular monthly meeting of
the Society yesterday, until Saturday next, Sep
tember 2d, on acconnt of the exceedingly in
clement weather.

chants for clerks vary from their board and
clothing to $2,500 per year. But generally
they give $125 per month for men who under
stand the business and who bear an irreproach
able private character. Good book-keepers get
about $1,800 per year, and generally find plenty
of work to do.
Macon Telegraph.—Will the local of the
above paper please state through his columns
the month and year in which the battle of San
Jacinto wan fought? We have a difference
with one of his subscribers, and as the Tele-
graph is nearly Gospel to him, we desire he
should be informed through Iris own medium.—
Kufaula Neste.
The battle of San Jacinto took place on the
afternoon of April 21,1836. Refer to the “New
American Cyclopedia,” under the head of Sam,
Honston, for details of the fight.
Stranoe Weather.—We are now having a
spoil of tho strangest weather for the last week
in August, within tho memory of the oldest in
habitant. For the last thirty-six hours almost
a galo has been blowing, accompanied nearly
all tho while with a fine, cold rain similar to
that we generally have each year during the
months of November or Deoember. Tho writer
has been in Maoon daring tho last four years,
walking home from this office every night be
tween the hours of 11 and 12 o’clock, and he
cheerfully gives Friday night last the honor of
being the worst, in point of weather, he ever
experienced in Macon, and his opinion is con-
concurred in by some of the city’s oldest in
habitants. Yesterday was a bine, rainy, blus
tering and most disagreeable day. There is
evidently something going wrong with the ele
ments in some quarter.
Legal Valuation or Real Estate—We saw
a gentlemen try to borrow $100 yesterday on
$10,000 worth of real estate, offering at the
rato of 30 per cent, a year for the money for CO
days, bnt it was no go. Mr. Money Lender,
told him that ho could’nt get it on ten million
dollars worth of it. Such was tho melancholly
fact Under the present free nigger and carpet
bag laws of Georgia, real estate has no legal
valuation. Under tho exemption clause of
$3,000 gold valnation, almost any shrewd man
can holdall that about eighteen of onr best
oonnties aro worth.
But this law—good in principle—ought to be
modified. The property holders had little to do
with making it, and they would see it so
changed that thoy can negotiate lands and
bonds for money, giving the lender a clear right
to recover. There are hundreds of men to-day
who hold lands lying idle npon which they
might get money, were it not for this law, and
with the capital so obtained it would be quickly
pat in cultivation.
Local Calculation.—Onr cotton dealers are
making estimates as to the probable receipts at
Macon next year. They are generally agreed
that tho number of bags will be about 70 or 75
per oent. of this season, or between 70,000 and
75,000 bales. It is ceitain that there will bo a
falling off from old channels, but wo are rea
sonably if not confident’y expecting that several
thousand will come to ns from the GrifUn and
North Alabama Railroad—from whence we have
not received any in former years.
While we decline expressing any opinion in
regard to tho price, wo presume there is no
harm in saying that the wisest heads in town
say that cotton is bound to bring from twenty
to twenty-fire cents per pound dating this sea
son. They say that the planters are compara
tively ont of debt, that the season is the worst
one known in fifteen years, that, therefore, tho
crop will be short, and the annual combination
of the New York and Liverpool gamblers will
not, this tim6, amount to a straw. They are
laughing at tho prodigious efforts of these fel
lows to crowd the market down now in the teeth
of the worst prospect} ever known in the his
tory of cotton, and say that they will “bust" at
it before the 15th of October. Well, we hope
they are right, and, moreover, we hopo onr
oo on try friends will get abont $1 per pound for
all they’ve got.
Recherche Dinners.—Harris, mine host of
the Spottswood Hotel, is modest—very modest.
His popular “hostlo” would go
“Unhonored and unsung”
were the blowing to be done by him. But the
fame of his dinners trsZZ find their way into
print through the agency of the gratified guests
who partake of them. Thus on yesterday,
ohoioe venison eqnal to any father Esan ever
ate, or bought, was served, fat chickens, ham,
tender beef and other choice viands, all oooked
tecumdum artem, to say nothing of on admira
ble dessert.
Verily the mantle of that prince of oooks and
oiterers, 8oyer, of Napoleonic and Crimean
memory, must have fallen upon the shoulders
of MeClellan, the able manager of the dining
room. With Mac in the kitchen. Hunt in the
offioe, and Harris to do the agreeable, surely
that gnest must be fastidious indeed, who fails
to be pleased.
Travellers are beginning to appreciate this
well kept and admirable hoteL
Ladies worried with that worst of nuisance,
a stove that “ttout bake well under the bottom,”
should call at Trnman A Green’s, Triangular
block, and see the wide flues of the Charter Oak.
The weather has been exceedingly windy
and rainy for the past day or two—by far too
much so for the good of the fanner. But we
are taught that every thing is for tho best, and
the best part of this season must be for planting
turnips. So ©ati on J. H. Zeilin A Co., and
buy some of their fresh and genuine to; nip
seeds. They have on hand Flat Dutch, Red
Top, Globe, Hanover, Rnta Baga turnips,
Drumhead »nd Flat Dutch cabbage, collard,
etc., for fall sowing.
Snead, the Bigamist—On yesterday after
noon tho train from Atlanta brought to this city
Mrs. Annie H. Snead, wife No. 1, of CoL J. T.
Snead, of Armory Factory notoriety, who was
arrested some time ago in this city on a charge
of bigamy, in that he had married aMiss Myrick,
of Baldwin county, when he had a wife living
in the city of New York. Mrs. Snead passed
through tho city last night on her way to Mil-
ledgeville to appear as a witness against her re
creant husband, who will be tried this week be
fore the Superior Court of Baldwin county.
We learned from her that she was married to
Snead at Liberty, Bedford comity, Va., on. the
31st of May, 16G1, in the hotel of that town,
kept at the time by CoL W. C. Hewitt, now pro
prietor of the Globe Hotel, of Augusta. CoL
Hewitt, she says, witnessed tho ceremony. The
couple lived happily together for seven or eight
years, when, being redneed to indigent circum
stances, Mrs. Snead sought to earn a livelihood
with her needle, and Snead began to wander off
and engage in various schemes to better his
condition—among others that of the Armory
Factory in this city. When ont of New York, he
kept np a regular correspondence with his
wife, and no unpleasant feelings existed be
tween them, nor did he cease to correspond with
her nntil some time last spring, when he wrote
to her requesting her not to write to him again.
She replied to this last letter, bnt it was re
tained to her unopened, and soon afterwards
shn heard that he was married again. Mrs. S.
stm cherishes the affection of a wife for him,
and it is with feelings of angnish and mortifica
tion that she has been compelled to appear
against him, thoagh a sense of womanly pride
and indignation assures her that he deserves
punishment •
Distressing Casualty.—We mentioned in
yosterday’s paper that little Willie Harris,
grand son of Maj. B. F. Dense, of tho Planters’
Hotel, was lost; bat the oonviction now is that
he was drowned on Friday afternoon, in the
river near the Central Park. It appears that
Willie went down to the Park on that day, with
three other boys, named Fred. Riechert, Joe
Conner and Frank Daly, all under 12 years of
age. These three tell somewhat different tales
in regard to their unfortunate little playmate.
Joe Conner, however, told his mother at a late
hoar in the night, that Willie was drowned in
an effort to get & long switch from a water wil
low on the river bank, auk that as he (Joe) had
been threatened with a whipping if he went
down to the river, he was afraid to tell her be
fore, bnt that he could not l^ep silent any
longer and could not sleep. The information
was immediately sent to the hotel, and at day
light yesterday a party of men with drags re
paired to the spot where it was said tho little
boy was drowned, and throughout the day they
were dragging the river and firing cannon over
it to recover the body, but their efforts were
fruitless.
Tho swamp and woods below and to ihe right
of the Park were thoroughly hunted on Friday
night, when it was ascertained that Wfilie had
been soen at the Park in the afternoon, bnt
when Joe Conner’s story was told, the search
for the body coased until daylight yesterday.
The distressed and sorely afflicted family,
particularly the grief-stricken and widowed
mother, have the sympathies of the entire com
munity in tb's most sad bereavement. Willie
was a sprightly and intelligent little boy, abont
nine years old, and was the pet of all who knew
him.
Democratic Meetiso Yesierday.—Pursuant
to the call of Hon. Thos. Hardeman, jr., Chair
man of the Execntive Committee of the Demo
cratic party of Bibb county, quite a large num
ber of the citizens assembled at the City Hall
yesterday, Satnrday, 2Cth, to select delegates to
represent the county at the convention to be
held in Forsyth, on the first Satnrday in Sep
tember, for the pnrposo of nominating a candi
date to represent in ihe Legislature the 22d
Senatorial District.
On motion, A. O. Bacon, Esq., was called to
the chair, and R. W. Stnbbs chosen Secretary.
The chair then briefly stated the objeot of the
meeting, after which it was moved and carried
that the six delegates to which Bibb is entitled
be elected by ballot. The meeting then pro
ceeded to ba'lot for delegates and on summing
np the ballots, it was fonnd that the following
named gentlemen had received the highest
number of votes, to-wit: T. J. Simmons, J. H.
Blonnt, G. W. Gustin, J. P. Fort, O. M. W;
and O. D. Findlay. Whereupon the Chair de
clared them duly eleoted delegates.
On motion, it was resolved that, if any dele
gates cannot attend the convention, he be au
thorized to appoint a proxy.
On motion of CoL T. G. Holt, jr., it was de
clared to be the sense of this meeting, that the
delegates go to the Convention untrammeled and
CoL T. J. Simmons then moved that these
proceedings of the meeting be published in the
Teleorath and Messenger.
On motion the meeting then adjourned sine
die, A. O. Bacon, Chaiman.
R. W. Stubbs, Secretary.
Brown A Co. have just received the following
papers and magazines: London News and

WiLTro Down.—Ask the man who camplsina of
wilting down” in torrid weather what he has done
to sustain his system under tho extra strain impos
ed on his vitality. He may tell yon that he has
tried a variety or cathartics to pmify his blood and
brighten his spirits. Under such treatment, of
course, his strength has given way, and his ener
gies have become exhausted. What he requires is
restorative, not a depletant. His blood is thin;
his nerves have lost their natural tension, and na
ture demands to be renovated and reinforced. The
means is within the reach of all. For nearly a
score of years Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters has been
building np broken constitutions, bracing and
strengthening attenuated frames, and affording
comfort, caso and hope to thousands- As a pre
ventive of the epidemics which make snch havoc
with tho health of the inhabitants of new settle
ments, famous tonic is oertainly without a
nval. Perhaps the principal portion of its world
wide 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 nse. It is a regu
lating medicine of the highest order; and its effect
upon the secretions, when irregular, is most ealu-
tary.
Imposition of the grossest character is sought to
be practiced upon the community by vendors, who
recommend under the name of M bitters, fiery
compounds of a dangerous character, which they
attempt to substitute for the great national tonic.
Bhun all snch nostrums, and see that yon have the
genuine Hoetetter's Stomach Bitters, properly au
thenticated by label, name and stamp, and sold in

Yellow Fever in Charleston.
Wilmington, August 2C.—A telegram
ceived from the Mayor of Charleston this morn
ing, says the yellow fever is in Charleston and
the Board of Health think it has assumed at
opjdemic form. Through trains have been dis
continued between Wilmington and Charleston.
Pa--engers are now dunging cars at Florence.
Sleeping cars will not be allowed to run at all
between the two cities. The authorities and
citizens here are bending all their energies to
wards improving the sanitary condition of tho
city as a measure of prevention.
Charleston, August 2C.—The Medical Socie
ty of Charleston, in view of the exaggerated
reports abroad as to the presence of yellow fe
ver here, held a meeting last evening, and, after
full investigation and discussion, resolved to
make official publication of tho real facts of the
case as follows:
That yellow fever, of a mild type, does exist
to a limited extent in Charleston—that it is
mainly confined to one neighborhood—that the
first caso dated from July 27th, and, during the
month that has elapsed sinc9 then, there have
been, perhaps in all up to this time, thirty-five
cases, of which five have proved fatal; bnt that
the disease does not seem to spread rapidly or
widely. It is added that a difference of opin
ion exists in tho profession as to the probable
spread of the disease. The Board of Health
announces, this morning, that the number of
cases reported since the 23d inst, indicate that
the disease is assuming an epidemic form.
Washington, August 26.—Tho St. Angnstine
dispatch announcing the loss of the Ladonia is
signed "Editor Press.” There is a weekly pa
per in St. Angnstine called the Press, John F.
Whitney, editor and publisher. There is no
confirmation of the loss through authentic chan
nels. We are still hopefnl that the story is
hoax at half-past 12 tiwlay.

Corte, Third Arbitrator at Geneva under the
Washington treaty. It is positively announced
that the Emperors of Germany and Austria will

retirement from the Am'.rian Ministiy, aro
groundless. The entry of the Oarlists into
Spain is imminent. Five heavy columns of
troops have been sent to the frontier, and a
civil gnard concentrated. The Arohbishop of
Madrid directs the clergy to refuse the sacra
ment to all persons married by civil rife. All
parties in the French Assembly are dissatisfied
with tho leaders.
NIGHT DISPATCHES.
Goldsroi.o, X. C\, August 2(1.—Very gloomy
but reliable report reach the Carolina Messen
ger newspaper from nearly ell of the counties
in eastern North Carolina, of great damage to
the cotton arop from the rust. Maoh alarm pre
vails among the planters. The prespocst, so
goods few weeks ago, are now very unfavorable,
especially in tho cotton counties of Wayne,
Danphin, Lenoir, Green, Johnston, Wilson and
Pit- In these counties the drouth and rust
will necessarily cut the crop short fully one-
third from last year’s receipts. Similar nc
counts are given by gentlemen who have re
cently passed through more of the western
counties.
Fortress Monboe, August 2G.—The schooner
Marion is ashore at Body’s Island. The E. F.

the beach. The Resolnte landed abont th’rty
tons of cotton and ties, and pnmped her ont
yesterday, bnt she filled again owing to the
rough weather. The Resolute left the steamer
B. & J. Barker with her, and returned for an
other steam pnmp. She goes back to-night, and,
if the weather favors, will save both vessel and
cargo. The Marlon was from Liverpool for
Boston,'with a valuable cargo of machinery, cot
ton ties, crockery, etc.

MIDNIGHT ‘ DISFATCHfcs.
Synopsis or Weatner Statement.
War Dep’t, Oftcoe Chief Signal Officer,)
Washington, D. O., August 26, 7:40 u. m. f
The barometer has fallen since Friday after
noon from Wyoming Territory to Lake Michi
gan aid norlhwards, bnt par'ially cloudy and
pleasant wexther has generally prevailed in that
region. The area of low barometor in the Ohio
valley has ex' inded nor‘bee nward, and heavy
rains have fallen from Indiena io Connecticut,
with tighter ra’rs on the lower L'kea. Ihe
cyclore in NoiJhem I.orida prised to-day over
Tellahasi >e into West nil Georgia, and so fares
our reports have been received, they indicate it
to be now between Montgomery and Knoxville.
Tie area of low barometer, affected by it ex
tends to We3t Virginia end to Missouri. BiL k
southeest and south winds have prevr led from
New York to Georgia.
Probabilities: The barometer will probably
fall very generally except in .the Gulf SUte3,
and local rains continue from Indiana to
Maine. Brisk southwest winds in the sooth
Atlantic and southeast on the middle Atlantic
coast. The cyclone will probably diminish its
central area, bnt spread into an extended rain
from Tennessee to Ohio, Virginia and New Jer-
sey, and filling barometor with increasing
westerly winds for Lake Superior.
Washington, August 26.—Lieut Charles A.
Schetkey, who was on the steamship City of
Honston, makes the following report to Secreta
ry Robeson:
Fern and ina, Fla., August 21, 1871.
Leaving New York on the 12th, in obedience
to orders, we proceeded towards Key West.
Had good weather nntil the evening of the 15th,
when atmospheric changes botokened a hurri
cane. At 4 o’clock r. m. on the IGth, being 12
miles east of Cape Garnaval, we encountered
breakers of a reef off of that point Here the
commander of the vessel, Daniel Partridge, be
trayed incapacity, running the vessel in danger
ous proi mity to the reef. I. judged that the
vessel was within the limits of the cyclone, on its
western ride—the vortex being abont east, and
advancing.
The ship was ran north and northeast for
two hours. At 8 p. m. Schetkey was called by
the first officer to the pilot house for consulta
tion, who fonnd the captain unfit to command,
Schetkey _ says from liquor or narcotics. He
placed Lieut. Commander J. Schooler in com
mand of the ship. Schooler was invested as
first officer in command. By this time the ves
sel was in the hxxrricsne. All efforts were di
rected to her preseivation. The sails were split,
and nothing was left to save the vessel except to
back her, which was done at the suggestion of
the first officer. After backing fifteen min
utes the port tiller chain broke. All attempts
to secure the rndder failed. Heavy seas came
over aft, and the cabin was flooded. The cap
tain had turned in, and the crew proper of tho
steamer except first and second officers and as
sistant engineer, became frightened and wonld
do nothing. The firemen deserted the fire
room and, securing life-preservers, awaited
their fate on the hurricane deck.
The ship’s officers having given her np, the
naval officers on board under command of
Schonler, set the men under their charge to
work bailing out the ship. Thera was three
feet of water in the fire rocm. Extinguishing
the fires tho water was redneed. Fires were
renewed under tho donkey boiler by which the
water was pnmped ont of the ship. From
5 a. m. to 4 p. m., on tho 17th, tho vessel was
without motive power—the gale increasing nn
til 7 a. m. The bulk heads of the engine-room
and cabin were used to start the fires. The
foremast was cut away to preserve the vessel.
Fire was started under one boiler, the other
having broken adrift. The steam pipe was now
cracked and the ship was helpless nntil the 19 th,
when one boiler was shoved np and the steam
pipe temporarily repaired, and the ship brought
to Feinandina.
Boston, August 26.—John Adams Bates, one

New York, Augast 26.—A dispatch from
Charleston, alluding to the progress of yellow
fover, says the declaration of the Medical So
ciety is considered by leading physicians, inclu
ding tho Health Officer, as an extreme state
ment—many of the cases upon which it was
based being donbtfal. The Health Officer does
not consider the facts of the case justify him in
withholding clear bills of health from tho New
York steamer which sails to day.
Paris, August 26.—Faidberbo ha i resigned

tee had decided to report in favor of making
the Assembly now sitting a constituent As

Athens, August 26.—During a violent storm
which passed over Lamia, a town on the Turk
ish frontier, lightning struck a powder maga
zine, which exploded with terrible effect. The
destniction of property was very great. The
inhabitants were terror-stricken, and fled to the
country.
