WISE & CO., Cherry st., Macon, Ga. ir rou want to WMcnxaK THE BEST COOKING STOVE t.vu oaruttp nr auctw, FOR THE LEAST MONEY, IS. A. WINE * CO, Moron, Un. Riocitron Dot—For the upbuilding of imper fect health, a regulated diet ia often had recourse to. Bat thie ie open to the objection, that even un der the moet ekilfnl handling, there may be articles of food prescribed which—at leaet in aome cirenm- etanoea and to aome oonetltntiooe—may prove the reverse of beneficial. The nae of a tonic stimulant, (aacb aa Dr. Gottlieb Fiach’a Bittern,) obviate* thie drawback; because it ia one of the propertie* of true tonic etimnlant to urge on tho excretory fane •ion*, and ttraa to enable the eyetem, with the greater ease and promptitude, to throw off any- thing which, through peculiarity of oonetitntion, may have proved injnriooe. Such, in ite working*, U Dr. Gottlieb Fiecb’a Bittern; so that while it has the positive merit of strengthening the directive fanctiona and the appetite, sod tbna increasing the nervous and moseolar force* of the eyetem gen erally, it ha* also the negative merit, that it cannot poaaibly do harm! This subject continued next week under " food u Life," Baocxa to thz Starr*—The first shock winter toil* tremendously upon enfeebled systems Every one knows that in passing from a warm re gion to scold one, or vice versa, the body regain* is a protection against epidemics, an acclimating medicine. All traveller* and voyagers admit this. It ia equally necessary to acclimate the system in passing the confines of one season and entering upon another. Aotnmn ia gone and winter ia hare. Prepare the frame end the constitution to meet the change by a course of Hostetler's Stomach Bitters. Toie inestimable vegetable tonic increases the stamina! strength of those who take it, and renders them proof to a great extent against the devitaliz ing power of cold and damp. Thee* two agents are as prolific of disease aa tropical heat, and ani mat vigor-such vigor u this healthful and pare tonic diffuses through tbo whole organizition—ia a re pellent which they cannot matter. A large propor tion of the colds, catarrhs, and pulmonaiy com plaints which prevail in winter, might be avoided, by strengthening and regulating the system in ad vance with this invigorant and alterative. Not that it ia reoommended aa a spccidc for those oomplainta, bat as a preventive of their causes On the other hand, it ie not only a preventive of, but a specific for the indigestion, intestinal irregularities, mala rious fevers, bilious attacks, and nervous affection, snperinduced by a chilly and damp atmosbers. Goon Hr.imir axn Loxo Lin.—There is noth ing more worthy of careful consideration than a general knowledge of the plainest and moet com mon-sense laws of medicine and health. Upon this understanding and observation depends our health, strength, and longevity. We do not propose to make doctors of everybody; hot we would have all suffioisntly well posted aa to be able to protect themselves against the impositions of bigoted quacks and misguided fool* and knaves who prey upon the fears of the unthinking masses, only to plnnge them into a ruin from which naught but death will release them. Our theory ia, progress io medicine, a* in every, thing else. The medical bigot, who is as wise as an owl, oppose* all innovations or reformations—no advancement for him. He wants to aland where science etood two thousand years ago. He believes In blood-letting, puking, and purging, a* the only remedy for all afflictions. We believe a warm stomach will regulate itself; Plantation Bitten aids the stomach in generating a natural warmth, which at once sets in motion the machinery of digestion, and expela dyspepsia with its horrid nightmare.

Moaz Police.—It dbqj seem to us that the present number of policemen in the city^of Macon to a perfect faroa ThelUen-of'uflempt- ihg to patrol a city of the size ot this with ten men is simply ridiculous. And especially da ring the holidays will a heavy force be necessary. than thirty men cannot look after tbe city as it should be done. The “beats" over which each policeman must walk when on duty are so long that a half hour at least to required to make one ronnd. Depredations of any kind can be committed at one end of a “beat” while the officer to at the other, and no one know of it The outskirts of the city are not looked after at ail, and it to there that policemen are needed more than elsewhere. In onr opinion, it to beat either to increase the force or disband it alto gether and let every man trust in Providenee and himself. Woeth Seeing.—Dan Rice with his huge circus to coining, and we doubt not be has a •big show.” Bat we saw something yesterday that will just toy all the shows completely in the shade. We admire the beautiful, but must oonfees that we have an eye more specially to the useful. We admire fine clothes, but have passed the age where they are the ultimathnle of onr ambition, and something to eat to to our eyes (or to our stomach at least,) more attrac tive than anything else. But to our show. We made * general survey of (he store of S. T. k B. P. Walker on Cherry street and went away so hungry that we could scarcely contain our self till dinner. Therefwere spareribe, back bones, sausages and aU other parts of the swine, beefsteak as fat andnioe as we ever saw, dressed chickens, turkeys, ducks, squirrels, fresh fish and oysters, salt fish of every kind, cabbages, celery, the nicest hams, batter, cheese, crackers, oranges, apples, and endless variety of jellies, jams, pickles, eta, and then the candy, oh 1 what a lot of the nicest genuine imported candies, canned frrnts of any rind; in snort any and everything that to good to eat. To enumerate all they have would oc cupy too much apace, and we recommend to everybody that if they want to feast their eyes (and stomachs too) they had better do as we did, go and see for yourselves and be sure to take a little change with jon, for you will be sure to want to bny something before you get through. Geary mnde a speech warning Republicans of passive Democracy, which he declared was snare to entrap them. Havanna. December 13.—A document has been issued by prominent insurgents who have lately surrendered to the Government, and which is Rigned|by*tho two Recios, 'SoiuiivaD. several Agneras. three Borros, Betancourt. Mel- etor. Bonial, two Varoo*. and over 3200 others of leaa Import inoe, dated at Puerto Principe, and says in future wo will adhere to the throne of Spain, and are now disposed to aid the gov ernment. We have run onr illusions and van ished, because the country failed to support us and foreigners failed to send ns aid. The gov ernment of Spain U now sufficiently strong to maintain the integrity of the territory. The document further says, that insurgents now in the field aro mostly negroes under the leader ship of Ignacio Agraloate, who rebelled against Cespedes. Not a bouse is left standing in the whole country between Los Tnmas and Moron, and tbe desolation that prevails is torrible. All hopes of tbe insurgents succeed ing politically have been given up, and the des truction to the country has been rapidly going on. Tho negroes aro working to make them selves masters of the situation, and are domi nant in the districts lately held by tho insur rectionists. The surrendered insurgents who signed the document at Los Tumas protest against a prolongation of the fight aud con sider the salvation of the country as obtained and look forward to reconstruction and early peace. The signers praise the qualities of Yalmaseda and his partizans to attract the insnrgents, and ask the King to make concessions to the island after peaoe shall have been established, re maining as a specialty a liberal constitution. Tbe signers abjure their past records and believe that they represent a majority of their party. Fifteen thonsand insnrgents have sur- retyiered during (he past year in tho Central department, state individually and oollectedly that they are ready to perform whatever duty may bs required of them as good and honest Spaniards. Tbe Gaoela newspaper publishes the document of the surrendered insnrgents in its edition of to-morrow. Tbo document is considered a severe blow to insurrection on ac count of the influence of the signors.

M. j The barometer which was Tuesnay afternoon in northern Illinois has moved eastnortbeast to Lake Ontario and has extended somewhat south east over New Jersey. Cloudy weather with snow and rain have preceded its progress and now prevail in New England and New York. Cold northwest winds with light snow follow its course.

Brisk and high winds have been re ported from Lakes Michigan and Ontario, but have now generally subsided. The pressure has risen in Montana and Oregon, but has fallen on the California coast, an area of high barometer having apparently advanced northeast through Washington Territory.
