TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 5, 1871.
The weather continues clear, cool and exceed
ingly pleasant. It gives the contractors and
workmen in and about the city a rare opportu
nity to push forward the various new buildings
and improvements in hand, and they are doing
it with a vim.
Coin.—Messrs. A. O. Ladd & Co., coal dealers

ing serenade. We welcome these excellent mu

day evening, 13 th inst, given nnderthe auspi-
oes of the Excelsior Social Clnb. The yonng
gentlemen have onr thanks, with the wish that
the occasion may be one of much pleasure and
interest.
Woodcock.—On Saturday afternoon las, as a
gentleman was strolling through the beautiful
grounds of tho Park, ho espied a fine woodcock
on tho ground some ten or fifteen steps before
him, and, picking up a small rock, he threw it
at the bird and killed it. It made a dainty dish
for a sick lady friend that night and tho next
morning. For delicacy of flavor there is no
American bird of game equal to tho woodcock.
Captured Cow and Calt.—Officer L. H. Gar
field, of the city police, captured a cow and calf
yesterday from a oouple of negroes, which, it is
believed, they stole from some one in Monroe
county. The negroes were endeavoring to sell
the cow, but an they told two or three different
tales as to how they got possession of her, they
were both lodged in jail and the cow and calf
are held for the identification of the owner.—
Tho cow is rather old, with red and white spots,
and has a light red head and neck. Tho owner
can get them by proving property and paying
charges—this notice included.
IRON TIE.
8tnx Onwaed and Upwabd.—The extraordinary
>ocreiae th&thaa taken place In the halo of Hoetet-
tar'a Stomach Bitters during the past year, is an
other proof that an intelligent people, .although
they may tiy all thiogs, hold fast only to tiat which
ia good. No amount of puffery can lift inferior
articles to the position of standard specifics. To
°*a tho words of Tom Paine, they may go up like
a rocket, but are sure to oome down ignominiously
like its extinguished stick. Hundreds of such nos
trums have gone up and oome down since the intro
duction of Hoetetter's Stomach Bitters, .nearly the
fifth of a century ago. Tot it still remains the su
preme tonic of the age. It has not, and never has
had a rival in efficacy or popularity, and now stands
at the head of all proprietary remedies manufac
tured on this side of the Atlantic. In every civ-
ilized oommnnity on this continent, or in South
America, it is tho accepted remedy for dyspepeia,
bdJoas complaints, constipation, general debility,
netroua weakness, and many other unpleasant or
dangerous maladies. A medicine so widely extended
ia, of course, pirated and imitated by dealers with
out conscience or integrity.
Therefore, let every man or woman who designs
to purchase tho genuine Hoetetter’s Stomach Bit-
tws, see to it that they have what they pay for, and
°ot the results of an infamous imposture. Look
carefully at label, stamp, and name blown In the
#**, and do not forget that the true bitters is
•old in bottles only.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Cotton Receipts.—There were received by
the various warehouses in Macon during the
last cotton year, 99,440 bales, against 80,129
for the preceedingyear, showing an increase of
receipts for the cotton year just closed of 19,-
317 bales. On tho first of September, 1870,
there had been received 73 bales of the new
crop. On the first instant only 12 bales of the
now crop had been received, thus showing the
latcnesB of the season, or an indisposition on
tho part of planters to rush their cotton to mar
ket as they did last year.
In this connecUonwe might slate that the
new cotton year opens with much more favora
ble prospeots for the planter than the old. On
the first of September, 1870, nearly every plan
ter was heavily indebted to his factor or mer
chant, and this market was literally flooded with
his warehouse acceptances, or other paper. For-
tnnately, however, there was a large crop com
ing forward to redeem the paper, and right no
bly and promptly was it done, be it said to the
planter’s credit. Now, however, the obligations
of the planter, as a general thing, are ligWt
and he will have no trouble in meeting his bills.
It is true ho will enter tho market with a shor,
crop, but ho will find better prices for his staple,
and provisions, should he need any, at less than
one-half of what they were one year ago. Then
bacon waa strong at 194 ; now it is dnlj at 9
cents. Then com was worth Si 35(ffi$l 40; now
it can bo bought at $1 00 per bushel. Then
bagging waa worth 35(®3"4 centa per yard; now
it can be bought by the roll at 24 cents. Taking
all these things, therefore, into consideration,
ha most, or anght to fool, that ho has made a
long stride forward during the cotton year
which closed on the 31st ult., notwithstanding
tho fact that at the close of his year's labor, he
finds a short crop on hand. The difference in
tho price ho will receive for it, and the enor
mous difference in the pricer of provisions, eto.,
will net him more clear cash, than if he had
made a crop of 5,000,000 instead of 3,000,000
bales.
Baldwin Superior Counr.—Tho case of the
State vs. John T. Snead, charged with Bigamy,
was called up on Friday morning. An impor
tant witness for ihe prosecution, Mr. Hewitt,
of the Globe Hotel, in Augusta, did not appear.
The counsel for the State were, therefore, forced
to the oleotion of going to trial with the btbefit
of tho testimony of Charles D. Cowles, (the
materiality of which hereafter appears,) and
without the testimony of Hewitt, or to adjourn
the case to the 1st Monday in November, when
the testimony of Hewitt might be had, and that
of Cowles wanting. Tho trial proceeded. It
was proven by Cowles that, in the city of New
York, in May, 18G8, the defendant introduced
to several gentlemen a lady as his wife; and
that she habitually called at his office, after the
business of the day was over, and was escorted
by him out of the office and through the streets
of the city. It was further proven that, in
January, 1869, tho defendant addressed a letter
from Boston to “Mrs. John T. Snead, Brook
lyn, N. Y.,’’ signing tho Bame as “Your affec
tionate "Hubby.” It was also proven that the
letter waa in the hand-writing of the defendant,
and was received by another witness in New
York daring the past summer from Mrs. Snead,
who was in court, and identified as the lady
whom tho defendant had introduced as his wife,
and also as the lady from -whom the letter in
question was received.
Mr. Cowles farther testified that, in Novem
ber last, in the city of Macon, he met with the
defendant, whom ha had not seen for several
months, and inquired of him “how and where
is Mis. Snead now?” Snead replied “sheis very
well, and is still in New York. I will see her in
few days, for I leave to-morrow.” During
the month of April last, and soon after the
marriage of Snead to the lady in MilledgeviUe,
the defendant met the witness, Cowles, upon
the street in Maoon. In the course of their in
terview Snead said: “Charlie, I have the
nioest young wife in Georgia.” They soon
parted, and the witness testified that the an
nouncement astonished him. Upon meeting
him a few days afterwards, Mr. Cowles asked
him what he meant about having a young wife ?
The defendant answered that he had reoently
married a young lady in Georgia. Cowles re
plied, “what has become of the wife you intro
duced me to in New York; i3 she dead?
Snead, much agitated, replied; “We don't do
things in New York like you do in Georgia.” An
exemplification from the records of Bedford
county, Ya., was next introduoed. It appeared
that in May, 18G1, application was made to the
proper anthority for license for the marriage of
John T. Snead to Mrs. Annie H. Robbins—the
names of the parents of the respective parties,
their residence, condition, etc., being stated.
With this evidence the State dosed. Tho de
f endant introduced no testimony.
The charge of the court was unexceptionable
to the gentlemen representing the State. About
one o’clock p. x., Saturday, the jury retired,
and in a few minutes, brought in a verdict of
"Jiot Guilty." The result startled the whole
oommnnity, as well as the court and the coun-
IHitly Review or tbe Market.

No material change (has beon reported from
the Pacific and Rocky Mountains station. The
barometer has fallen very generally during the
day east of the Rocky Mountains, and especially
on the Golf and over the Lakes; but the highest
pressure remains central in Delaware. The
temperature has risen decidedly from Missouri
to New York and northwards. Fresh south
westerly winds have prevailed at most stations
in this region and northwesterly on the Gulf
coast. Smoky and hazy weather has continued
from Eastern Michigan to the Middle Atlantic.
Clouds and light rain on the immediate coast
from Louisiana to Florida, and local rains have
fallen in Wisconsin; but elsewhere clear weather
is reported.
Probabilities: Clear and hazy weather will
probably continue from New England to South
Carolina, with southerly winds. Falling ba
rometer with southwesterly winds and increased
oloadiness from the Lakes sonthwestward to the
Ohio and Missouri Rivers. Continued cloud
and local rains on the Gulf coast.

appears that the negotiations for the evacuation
of France by the Germans were complicated by
the question of admitting German manufactures
to France, free of duty, after September 1st at
which date the agreed arrangement for passing
such goods, duty free, expired. The French
were offered a speedier withdrawal of troops,
if these privileges to Germans were continued,
but they now are in a condition to demand the
evacuation as a right nnderthe treaty of Frank
