Salt for instance, baatena transforms- tion and waate, and conacqently creates tbo necoo- aity for a more liberal diet; while, on the other band, alcohol retards change and waste. On this principle, Dr. Fircb, in liis Bitters, has furnished a preparation having among ether properties that of preserving both the mateiials and the forces of the system; and in this, as ia otlior things, '*A penny saved is a penny gained." Bnt it is not only in this negative way that Dr. Fisch's remedy works for tha inilding up of tho pbyaical man. While it holds back Uio watting processes, it rpnra forward the lUjfiug processes. It promotes tbo flow of the iluQhtalivo juices in the month, tho stomach and tbe liver; and Uma enables tbe system to utilize more food—to mako more blood. The scriptural assertion that “tbo blood thereof ia the life there of," is the expression of a physiological fact: and tbe amount of food which a man can oat with relish, and digest, affords the exact measure and index of tbo man’s strength. And when once Dr. Fisch's remedy has given tbo start to an improvement in this direction, tbo unaided energies of nature take up tho work and cany it forward, anil Uma render tbo amelioraUon permanent.

DAY DISPATCHES. A Fishery Fnss. New Yoxx, October 17.—A Herald special dated Gloucester, Mass., says that the schooner Horton waa taken from the harbor of Greisboro, Nova Scotia, by a party of men from Gloneester. The Horton is now doe in Gloucester. It is stated thst a British gunboat was sent in pur suit. A schooner is now off Cape Ann with the intention of recapturing the Horton. An American gunboat has gone to prevent the re capture, of the Horton in American waters. The affair is believed to be of great gravity. The revenue officers, supported by federal soldiers, raided in the fifth ward, Brooklyn, at six o'clock. There was little resistance, and the party captured several illicit stills and othsr property.

The largest and moat extensive atock of watches ever before in Ma con, can be seen and bought at low rates, dnr ing tbe next two weeks at the store of Wing & Solomon. It will be the best opportunity for those wishing watches, that will be offered for some time to come. To the admirers df the inrf, we can show something handsome in stop watches, and also a novelty in a “repeater,” striking both (he hoars, quarter home and minutes, thereby en abling one to teU tho timo without looking at the watch.

Fi nally the varmint was driven to seek shelter under the Floral Hell, where it was captured, snapping and snarling at all around, and re tained to its old quarters. Esnuxs To tuz State Fate.—As a large cam ber of persona aro intending to exhibit at the Fair, and are daily cxlliDg at the office of the Secretary, in Hollingsworth block, to make en tries, wo would notify them that the only place where entries can be made is at tbe entrance gate rooms of tho Fair Grounds. The person who makes an entry, or an hnndred entries, only pays $2 50, which bnvs, at the same time, a ticket of admission to tho Fair. The price is jost the same as if he did not exhibit, snd de sired to purchase a season ticket. Mr. Andrew Dnnn represents the city, and Mr. Johnson the Society, in making entries. Extba Foie.—W. P.

Ho has now introduced some exquisite Albany (N.

In tho way of fruits, Mr. Carlos always keeps a fall supply on hand, and his custom is so vory extensive that purchasers can always obtain them fresh and nice. If you want anything good in the eating and drinking line, cooked or otherwise, giro Mr Carlos a call. A SrLENDiD IxsntuMENT.—Messrs. Guilford & Hill received yesterday, from the manufac tory in St. Louis, a piano to be exhibited at tho Fair, that is said to be tho finest instrument ever bronght to Ibis city. These gentlemen are also in receipt of a lot of musical instruments which Ihey imported direct from Germany. They expect in the future to import a greater portion of their musical goods direct from Europe, which will enable them to sell at much lower rates than when the goods are purchased in New York. Messrs. G. & H. sell their gooda at a small profit, and any desiring musical to strumenta of any kind should give them a call. A “Steike”-isg Steech.—Yesterday morniog onr attention was attracted to a crowd of negro workmen, carpenters, painters, etc., gathered in front of No. 3 Engino House, and to our honored Mayor, standing up to his buggy, ap parently listening to statements of several of them as to an alleged outrage committed upon them. After a number of them had spoken, Mayor Huff briefly and very mneb to tho point responded, and as his reply covers Ihe whole ground, wo givo a report of it. “My men,” said he, “yen bring before me a complaint that last evening, on passing out of the gates at tho Fair Grounds, your day’s work being finished, the police officers mauo a cursory examination of the persons of several of you, and yon assume that this action on their part was in suiting to you. Now, a simple statement of tho facts of the csbo should satisfy yon as to the propriety of their action. For several days past, some of tho colored mechanics employed on the Gronnds havo mode complaints that their tools, ele., bad been stolen; snd tbeso com plaints had grown so numerous, and the loss of time snd property so heavy, that necessity re quired some action to be taken to the premises. As the larger part of you were strangers in the city, whose character were unknown, it was found impossible to suspect any particular in dividuals and “shadow” them to detection; so tbe simplest plan was adopted, and the officers were instructed to mingle with tho ont-going crowd of workmen when tho knocking-off bell rang, and endeavor to discover who it was that was committing these wholesale and annoying (holts. What was tho resnlt ? Why, one man was found with half a keg of nails he bad “But- Ierized”—several were found with whole pack ages of screws, and quantities of material, etc., were found strewed on tho wayside, where they had been dropped.. Now, in the face df iho fact that among that crowd of yon there were seve ral thieves conveying away their plunder with them, what honest man, among yon here assem bled, can look me to the face and complain that his dignity ha* been insulted by tbe endeavors of the officers to detoet them ? If there is such a ono here,doubtless he will bear watching. Now the most of you went to work this morning. Why did yon not keep at work? It was simply because some unprincipled scalawag or other, possibly a receiver of those stolen ar- cles, had seen (bat ho was losing tho chance for more of his infamous profits, and therefore whispered to you that your dignity had been Insulted. Insulted, indeed! everything else but insulted; for yon should bo grateful that the thieves have been eliminated from among yon, and tho suspicion that was spread broadcast over yon all has been bronght to bear on the guilty, and that the honest and true men of your body have been relieved of any possible doubt of tbeir integrity. Now, I want Uio men who took the lead to quitting work to take tho lead to returning to it. I shall expect yon all to be hard at it to five minutes by the watch from this time.” The crowd very sensibly agreed that the Mayor was correct, and picking np their tools, departed at a trot for the gronnds. Do you need a cook stove that will give per fect satisfaction for ten years or more and stand the assault and battery of rough cooks ? Then go to Truman <t Green and bny one of the no ted Chauteb Oaxs. Special Thais.—A special train will be ran on the Southwestern Railroad during the Cen tral Fair at Fort Valley, commencing on Tues day, the 17th tost, and running on the follow ing schedule : Leave Smith villa at 6:10 a. x. Arrive at Fort Valley 9:29 A. x. Leave Fort Valley .5:30 p. it. Arrive at Smithville 8:45 p. x. Should u be necessary this train will inn through to Albany.

Washington, October 17.—Tho Attorney Gen eral has a dispatch from North Mississippi stating that fivo Ku-klox, with disguises com plete, have been captured. Three-quarters of a million of revenue stamps were found to bo safo in tho Govornmont vault at Chicago. Tbe following iseffleial from the Agricultural Bureau: Tho cotton returns of October are no more favorable than those of preceding months. In no State is the average of September fully sustained. The general average of condition to the first week of the present month is 76 per cent, against SO per cent, in September. In some sections in the Mississippi VaUey and in Texas improved prospects are reported, while the preponderance of testimony to the South west, os well as on the Atlantic coast, favors a farther redaction of tho expected yield. The percentage of condition in the several States is as follows: North Carolina, 80; South Carolina, 75; Georgia, 72; Florida, 73; Alabama, 75; Mississippi, 76; Louisiana, 73; Texas, 72; Ar kansas, 82; Tennessee, 94. The injuries re ported are from rust, shedding of bolls prema turely, sufficiently low temperature to check the development of bolls to more northern latitude, floods and inundations in Florida and Georgia, sprouting or rotting of bolls from rains, drouth in the section west of Georgia, and the boll or army worms in portions of Mississippi and more western States. It does not appear that the losses from insects are general or very seri ous, with a few isolated exceptions. Drouth should be credited with a larger proportion of the depreciation than any other assigned cause, notwithstanding the fact that cotton endnrea the lack of moistnro better than otbor crops. Tbe present indications do not point to a crop of more than 3,000,000 of bales. If the re matotog season shonld be unfavorable for the development and gathering of the fibre this re sult must be accepted. Chicago, October 17.—Urn. G. S. Iloultedl, Secretary of the Treasury: Tho banks are saved and aro paying evory dollar on demand, good feeling prevails. (Signed) H. R. IIcaLBUT, Comptroller of Currency.
