FxaiLAXD Pbecautiox This is a season that
tries the frame and the conatitntion. If there be
weak apot in either, the chilling damps, the ma
larious togs, the varieties of temperature that
mark the commencement of the winter season are
earo to tod it oat. There are few systems that
have not a weak spot somewhere, and the wisest
thing that any man or woman can do is to fortify
it by a coarse of Hoetettcr's Stomach Bitters, and
tbns keep tbe enemy at bay. In war, when a city
is menaoed tbe firat thing to bo done is to strength
en the ramparts.’ The same policy should be
adopted wilb the human body, when its direst foe,
malaria, ia abroad. If the stomach ia week, tbi,
tonio will lend it vigor; if tbe bowels are morbidly
eeneitivo, tbu aliorative will regalate them; if the
Uver is inert, this wholesome stimulant will rouao
it; if there is constipation, this aperient will cure
it; if there ia nervous debility, this nervine will
replace It with norvons vigor; if there ia impurity
in the blood, this deparent will neutralize it; if
there ia a cloud on the spirits, this exhilarant wil
dispel it. These are facta that have been demon
strated every day for tbe last twenty years. Can
as much be said for any other medicine—or rather,
can aa much be promt / for anything may bo said
by tbe unecrnpuloua. Do not exoept any of the
ljoal bitters sometimes recommended by dealers
in Uen of tbe Standard Bestorative.
War Will Ye Vie ?—Death, or what is worse, is
tbe Inevitable result of continued suspension of
the menstrual flow. It ia a rendition which should
not bo trifled with. Immediate relief ia the only
safeguard against constitutional ruin. In all cases
of suppression, suspension or other Irregularity of
the “reursea," Dr. J. Bradfleld’e Female Regula
tor is tbe only euro remedy. It acta by giviDg tone
to tbe nervous centres, improving tbe blood and

Food is Live —“One man," ttys the proverb,
may lead “tbe bone to tho water, but twenty men
cannot make him drink." Bat it ia also true that
the bone cannot drink unless he be taken to tbe
water. In like manner, while it ia true that each
part of tbe body must be in a condition of readi-
to take up from tbe blood tbe nutriment it
tt is also tree that there must be aband-noo
of good blood for each part to take op nutriment
from. Now, in order to have good blood, we mint
have, on tbe one band, a sufficiency of appropriate
wholesome food, and, on ths other hand, wemuat
bare a sufficiently keen digestive power, that is,
simply—dissolving power—in the stomach. Many
suffer from more or less deficiency in this “dis
solving" power. To supply this very deficiency,
is (he primary and chief function of that great

Accident os the Ceeieal Boad—Mieacu-
locs Eacan.—Oo the Central road last night
at Walnut Creek bridge, an accident occurred
endangering tbe lives of all on board the pas
senger train. Fortunately no aerieoa injury
was done. As the passenger train was crossing
the bridge, a malicious person rang the bell and
the engineer blew on brake* A freight train
was following closely in the rear, and the grads
being so heavy it was importible to move for
ward. A cry was raised to deer the oars, and
the passengers jumped out pell-mell, from ths
platforms and windows, except one lady who
had with her five children. It was impossible
to get the children off and she sat still, prefer,
ing to die with them, rather than leave them to
perish alone. In two or three minutes the
freight train oame rushing along, and there
being a short curve just before approaching the
bridge, no signal oould be given in time to avert
the calamity. A man with a lantern was placed
In rear of ths passenger train, and aa soon as
the freight train came in sight, the engineer
blew on brakes, reversed steam and leaped from
his engine. He was slightly injured by the
lesp, but fortunately not seriously hurt. So
dose was the freight train that its headway was
not in the least checked until it had run into
and made a oomplete wreck of two coaches of
tbe passenger train. Fortunately the lady who
remained in the ear was not injured, thongh se
verely jarred by the oolliaioo. The two hind-
vrere upon tho trestle work at the
farther end of the bridge bat not a car was
thrown off the track. Parties who were on
board the train, report that it waa a scone of
the most intense excitement. Tho time for
escape bdng so short, and the fact that the
passengers from the two rear coaches had to
pass through the third car before they oould gat
off, makes tbe successful escape of the entire
party almost marvelous. Tho debris was re
moved from the track as quickly as possible,
the trains brought back to the dty and another
train started for Savannah at 81 o'dock, throw
ing it out of schedule time just two and a half
hoars.
Cotton Declining.—-There was a decline of
j cent in cotton yesterday. As will be seen,
the receipts are sixty-seven bales short of Sat
urday's, while Saturday's receipts were about
tho same number short of Friday’s. The re
ceipts at all the ports for Saturday and yester-
day are but little more than thorn of Friday
alone. We stated in an article npon the sub
ject in onr Saturday morning's issne that the
heavy receipts were brought about by the spar
in the market, and predicted that in a few dajB
they would again doorcase. The prediction has
proved true, and we are now of opinion that
should tho market in the fatore reach 25 cents,
we will not again, this season, receive in Macon
so many as six hundred bales in any one day.
The point had about been reached when the
little remnant still on hand most be sold, to
meet annual accounts falling dne in a few days,
and tbe advance hnrried it all to market. It is
now disposed of and a farther advance will be
simply for tho benefit of speculators, who hold
well nigh the entire crop. Business ia distress,
ingly doll for the Besson, and under the circum-
stanoes there is but little prospect for improve
ment One thing we notice, that onr merchants
are disposed to suit their prices to tho tightness
of the times and prices in Macon for groceries,
dry goods, and, in fact, goods of every kind,
arc remarkably low. We believe that a bill for
any line of goods at New York prices, could be
duplicated in tbe Macon market, with freights
added. We c?n sec no excuse for making small
orders to cities farther away from home, when
all the country south of ns can be furnished
from this point in shorter time and to as good,
if not better, advantage. We, therefore, again
urge upon our subscribers tbe claims of the
Macon market, and insist that thoy give uh at
least one triaL
A Babb Collection or Paintings.—In the
old root office building, Mr. B. Levy has a col
lection of fino oil paintings, such as is rarely or
never seen in Macon. Wo Invite special at
tention to, and urgently insist npon onr citizens
calling and making an examination of, these
gems of art. They are from the beat artists,
and in the collection we notioe the following:
No. 11, Lake of the Foot Cantons, by G. Hart-
wick; No. 16, Scene in the Bocky Mountains,
by 8. French; No. 19, (a pair). Morning and
Evening in iho Tropics, by Bosance; No. 25,
Pleasures of a Country and Returning from the
Field, by Myerhiem; No. 26, The Betired
Nook, by Van Willis; No. 55, Mary and St
John, by Gatnior; No. 76, Finding of Moses,
by De La Boache.
There are one hundred and ten of these
paintings, and all of them pare gems. This is
no traveling humbug, and Mr. Levy informs us
that a special officer has been employed to pre
vent the entrance of negroes or disorderly per
sons into the room. They are now open for in
spection, and we earnestly hope that our ladies
and gentlemen of refined and cultivated tastes,
will visit the hall and examine them. The best
critics ora specially invited to give them a close
and careful examination. They will be sold at
auction on Thursday and Friday daring the day
and night, and we again urge npon onr citizens
that they attend the sales, and allow none of
these beauties to he carried away from our city.
Onr space forbids a farther notice in this issne,
but we will examine them more carefully this
morning, and speak farther upon the subjeot
on the morrow.
Matos's Doubt.—It is to us a question of
grave importance “how do the idle negroes
about the city get something to eat ?*' Not a
morning passes that the hall in which ia held the
Mayor's court is not crowded with them. Those
who are not arraigned npon some oharge are
there aa lookers on. Yesterday morning there
were not less than fifty to one hundred on hand;
and it ia not at all probable that if they had
regular employment they would be excused day
after day to attend the Mayor's court simply
for tho fan of it. Wo would suggest a general
arrart some morning of all in attendance, npon
the charge of vigranoy, and having their cases
each examined separately in a careful manner.
Several cases were before the court yesterday
morning, drank and disorderly and larceny be
ing the principal charges. Its amazing what an
effect getting dry or hungry or cold has npon
the Sumner family. If they get dry they take
whisky and kick np generally, and if they get
hungry or cold they at once appropriate some
body's Mae’s victuals or clothes. Fines to the
amount of seventy or eighty dollars were im
posed upon the law breakers, but we left
before getting the names of ths offending
parties. Tbe cotut, for the past few days, has
bees a paying institution, if all tbe fines are
collected.
Too Mean.—Sometime daring last weak a
melodeon belonging to the Presbyterian Mis
sion Sabbath School, on Windsor Hill, was
stolen from the Chapel. It was not known
until Sunday afternoon when the bouse was

fied, but contended that tho evidence had not
shown these outrages to be tho remit of any
conspiracy nor convicted the accused with their
commission. The jury, after 63 minutes con
sultation, relumed a verdict of gailty on the
second count, namely: Conspiracy to injure

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
Synopsis of Weather Statement.
Wab Dep't, OmcE Chiet Signal Omens, »
Washington, D. 0., Deoember 18, 7:40, T.X-f
The clear weather and high barometer whioh
existed Sunday afternoon on the South Atlantio
coast still remains with light southwest winds.
An area of high barome'er which was probably
in Dakotah has extended eout heart ward to the
Bine Ridge, whilst the highest pressure is now
central in Minnesota with clear cold weather.
A small area of low barometer has moved rapid
ly from Arkansas over Lake Erie, and thence
eastward to Massachusetts to-day, accompanied
by rain on the southern portion of its path and
snow from Michigan eastward. No reports
have been received from the Pacific coast.
Probabilities: The barometer will probably
rise daring to-night, and on Tuesday trom mid
dle and east Atlantio coart westward to Missis
sippi, with partially cloudy and clear weather.
Fresh northwest winds prevail to-night north
end east of Virginia, with clearing weather.
The storm on New England coart clearing away
to-night A small area of low barometer, with
rein, will develop in Louisiana and .Arkansas,
and move northwestward. Pleasant weather
will prevail on Tuesday in the South Atlantic
and Golf States. Dangerous winds are not an
ticipated to-night east of the Becky Mountains,
unless possibly orei a small portion of Massa-
chusett'a Bay.
Conirrevtlonal.
Washington, December 19.—Senate.—The
House bill in relation to steam boilers used on
Western rivers was passed. It exempts steam
tag* from certain restrictions.
The Committee on Elections made a formal
report in favor of seating Mr. Norwood, from
Georgia.
Scott nominated Cassidy aa an additional
member of the Committee on Retrenchment.
Aa indicating the character of the debate, the
following from Logan ia telegraphed:
Logan said it seemed to be assumed by cer
tain Senators that all who supported Trumbull's
proposition were trying to injure the adminis
tration. He had no such desire; yet he bad
voted for that proposition, and would do so
again because he believed it to be a proper and
a wise measure. He understood that he waa not
in good standing with a certain set of men who
assumed to control and guide the party; but it
mattered very little to him whether be was or
not. He was responsible to his constituents
and to nobody else. These men affected to be
the soecLl champions of the President, but if
he, Logan, was President, and they attempt
ed to aid him in the same way, he
would fMnV it wiso to get rid of their assistance
as soon as possible. It was almost impoftiible
to act an independent part in the Senate now.
These three or four men—perhaps five—who
undertake to manage the party call a caucus on
any man who is disposed to be independent,
and threaten lo re id him ont for one who would
not act up to his convictions, and mn tho risk
of being read ont. I don't believe, said Logan,
that tho President feus investigation, but
you have made the country believe he does.
I dou't beliove that tho Secretary of the Treas
ury fears investigation, but you hare mado the
country believe that he does. I don’t believe
that any of the departments of the Government
fears investigation, but you have made the coun
try believo they do. As to the organization of this
committee it is peculiar. When the Senate di
vided on this question of investigating the pub
lic service twenty-fonr Senators voted for the
proposition and thirty-flve against it, bnt when
it comes to the appointment of this committee
*even members of it are taken from the thirty-
five and only one from the twenty-fonr.—
Of oourae there was no design in this.—
[Laughter.] The committee is composed of
honorable men, because Senators are all
honorable men. ( Laughter. ] But I fear that
the making up of the commit t ie in this
does not reflect much credit npon us twenty-
four. (Laughter.]
Senate.—The Committee as nominated, with
the addition of Cassidy, was elected.
The resolution of Trnmboll, with privilege to
send for persons and papers, was adopted. Thi*
is a triumph over the ultra-administration men.
Daring the debate Sumner said the Senatorial
caucus was a mere matter at convenience andl
binding upon no one. Adjourned.

olas, of Dade county, have been arrested and
brongbt here without a warrant. Hon. E. D.
Graham endeavored to find ont if any had been
issued, but to no effeot. Commissioners Smith
and Conlqy avert that they did not issne one!
What means this? Has a warrant been issued
since Mr. Graham made inquiry? Wo learn
that warrants havo been issued against Hon. B.
H. Tatum and J. W. Blevins, of Dade county,
fur alleged violation ot the Civil Bights Bill.
The Ku-xlux Case —The following persons

United States District Court, to answer to (he
charge.
Jas. Warner and William Yanoy, two negro

There havo been 1,596 arrests by the Angus-
ta police for iho present year, against 1,S62
last year. Of this number 021 were brunette
and 615 blonde—showing, as is everywhere the
case at the South, in this reBpect, quite a healthy
majority for tho favorito color.
The whisky at Augusts must ho gotting stron

The Chroniclo and Sentinel of Sunday says :
The Hancock Bobbery.—On last Thursday
we gave anacoount of the arrest, by Mr. Thomas
Turner, a conductor on the Macon and Augusta
Railroad, of Russian Warren, a negro who had
committed a robbery in Hancock county. On
yesterday Mr. William S. Dickson, the gentle-
man who was robbed, oame to Augusta for tho
thief and carried him back to Sparta. Mr. Dick
son says he was robbed of four thousand five
hundred dollars—three thousand five hundred
of whioh was in silver, and one thonsand dollars
in gold. The robbery was committed in the
afternoon, just after dinner, when Mr. Dickson
and his wife had left the plantation. The money
was kept in a large tin box in the house. When
Warren got possession of the box he made bis
escape without being detected, and carried his
plunder to the woods. There the box was bro-
iou open and rifled. That night Warren took
the train at Warrenton and was arrested by tbe
conductor, who had been asked to keep a look
out for him. When arrested, the negro had
only one hundred and eighty dollars in gold and
silver npon bis person.
A fire at Savannah Satnrday night, burn
ed the two story frame buildings on Bryan

Shooting Aii aar.—On Tuesday night iast,
Dr. H. H. Christian and Captain Julian Ban-
some had a tittle pass at small-arms on the pub-
lio square in Blakely, in which both were pain
fully, though, it is thought, not seriously
wonndod, each receiving two shots.
Tho Houston Home Journal, of Saturday,
says: tp
Hobbible. —Last Tuesday a negro man and
his wife, living on Warren Harris’ place, about
ten miles north of Ferry, locked np tbeir three
children in their cabin and went off to Fort Val
ley. They were gone ell day, and when they
returned thoy found the house buret to the
ground and tbe children consumed in it. It is
supposed that the children played with tbe fire,
and that tbe house caught accidentally. It was
in a field some distance from any other house,
hence no one knew that it wa3 on fire.
Wo find the following communication in (he
last Dahlonege Signal:
BLADtsviLLE, Ga., Nov. 30. 1871.
Our community waa aroused on last Thursday
night by tbe sudden and unexpected ap;.ear&noe
of a squad of men, who represented thomsclves
as belonging to the United States army, in the
npper portion of Chisioa Disttic'. They pro
ceeded, on their arrival, to arrest and handcuff
a number of our boot citizens, without produc
ing any warrant or authority whatever—con-
fiaod them in a miserable place, which they
have established since they came here—which
they are pleased to term a prison, but use it for
no other purpose than to extort hundreds of
dollars irom our peaceable aud law-abiding citi
zens by threats and intimidation. They refused
to allow them even the semblance of a trial, bnt
forced them ta pay the enormous snm of $150
each, in cash, or spend twelve months in prison.
Bat how many men are there in Ibis county
that can be found who have tbe required
amount ? They have two hundred and fifty
names on their list (so they say). Some of
the men oould not pay the $150. but could man
age, by selling the Let cow they had, to pay
$10; this they readily accepted, knowing as
they did, that they were going right contrary
to tbe laws, and making plunder their sole ob
ject. They did not object to a small amount.
They got something like $2,500 out of that
district. ^
South Georgia Conference.
[Correspondence Telegraph and Messenger ]
The “minute business" of the Conference
was finished by 12 o'clock on yesterday, some
thing before unknown in this body at so early a
period of the session.
Ber. W. A. Parks, agent of the American
Bible Society, was introduced and presented
the claims of this Society in an earnest and
forcible manner. He also gave interesting de
tails of the operations of this organization in
the South since the war. They baye been un
usually generous in their donations, and ar
rangements ore now being completed to supply
every destitute family, both white and black,
in southern Georgia. The agent is placing, as
rapidly as he can, a copy of the Bible on every
railroad engine and on every seat in railroad
coaches in Georgia. This task has been com
pleted on most all the roads in the middle and
northern portions cf tho State. He also gave a
graphic discriptioa of the labors of the Society
over the world. So complete are their arrange
ments, and so rapid their movement!, that they
print and prepare for distribntion, three copies
of the Holy Scriptures, every seoond of time.
Dr. A. G. Haygood, Secretary of the M. E.
Church South Sunday-school Society, made a
statement of the condition of the Sunday-school
publications with which he is connected :
He furnished tbe following statistics of the
Nashville House Sunday-school publications:
Circulation of Sunday-school Magazine, 12,000.
As there are 300,060 children of Southern
Methodists it ongbt to be 50,000. “Sunday-echool
Visitor,” price 50o per year, 60,000. It ought
to be 200,000. Tho semi-monthly oosts 25a and
the monthly 13o. per annum. Tbe “Little
People” has a circulation of 43,000 —should be
100,000; tho “Lesson Papers,” 700,000. In
addition, the House hes several books in press,
one especially adapted to the yonng between
15 to 20 years of age, entitled the “Junior
Clerk.” Of the Sundny-aohool singing book
50,000 had been sold.
The SuniLy-school anniversary on lost night
was a great sneoess— especially considering tbe
inimitable singing of uu Indian song by Dr. J.
B. Mct’errin.
Tho South Georgia Confezenoo has 276
schools, with 1,742 officers, 11,558 pupils;
requisites, 19,081; volumes, 14,402.
These members contributed for Sabbath-
echooL in charge, $5,213 69; for Conference
Sunday school Society, $136.
Ber. IV. W. Hicks waa announced as first
speaker. He took aahis text “Pina.” We have
ohinqQopins, belaying pins, tho ladies’ pins to
fasten their chign (chin) on, a bouse must have
good underpinning, for the whole depends on
■t. He would name some pins which he wish
the children always to keep. He then enforoed
the necessity of the Snnday-school whioh tar
nished a knowledge of the Word of God—the
strong underpinning of character—of perseyer-
ance, of trust—in yourself, in yonr work and
God—and lore to God and man. A synopsis
wonld give no idea of the humor, pathos and
ofttimea tbe thrilling eloquence, and the beauti
ful illustrations of the speaker, and we will not
aitempt it.
Dr. Uicka was followed by Dr. Haygood, of
Nashville, in a short but impressive speecb.
The singing by the Snnday-schoola of Colum
bus waa very fine.
An assessment of $900 was oalled for by the
Board of Education, to assist in the education
ot young men in the ministry. The assessment
was ordered.
The comniitteo on the Southern Christian Ad
vocate reported on tho changes recently made
in the editorship and complimented Dr. Myera,
the late occupant, and commended Bev. F. M.
Kennedy, tbo incoming editor. They also re-
commended the redaction of the subscription
price to $2 per annum.
A resolution was adopted that by a oommittee
information as to the condition of church build
ings should be obtained throughout the bounds
of tho Conference.
Tbe oommittee on books and periodicals made
thoir report, giving every assurance of the con
fidence of the church in the management of the
publishing interest at Nashville, under the oare
of Dr. Bedford.
Sundry resolutions were presented and adopt
ed. * LxBave.
Wlint Akrrmnn 1'uitl lor One or Ills
Witnesses.
In the trial of J. W. Avery, at Columbia, 8.
C. , on the 13th instant, the chief witness for
the Government was Kirkwood L. Gunn. He
deposed to his “Ku-klux” membership, de
scribed “raids” and implicated tbe prisoner in
a satisfactory manner. Tho following is a part
of his testimony on cross examination:
I mado disclosures to Colonel Akorrasn at
Cartersville, Georgia. I wont tbero to tell him.
I never talked to anybody else about what I
knew until I saw Colonel Merrill last week in
Yorkville.
Q —Where did yon come from when you went
to Yorkville about a week ago ?
A. —I came from Washington city. I bad gone
there just to see the city. I had no business
there. I did call on Colonel Akennan. We just
talked about matters in gonoral. I came from
there to York. I had no business there, but
I went to see Colonel Merrill. Ho told me to
come down hero as a witness. He did not prom
iso me any uionoy or reward. I did receive
$200 in Washington from CoL Akerman’s dork.
I suppose it was to defray ray expenses in going
to Cartoisville. It waa sixty miles from where
I waa living to Cartersrille. It wonld not take
that much money. The clerk didn't say for
what ho puid mo tho money. Ho just counted
it out to me and I receipted for it. I didn’t go
to Washington to got tho money. I only wont
there to Bee tho city.
The World is cruel to Akerm&u. It say: he
was literally forced out of the Cabinet. It had
come to pass that ho did not know law enough
to rua his department, nnd was in tho main de
pendent on his assistants, while os a politician
he was even a worse failure, and coaid do
nothing to tu 'p Grant in the South. Two Su
preme Court judges informed the President
long since that Akerman was not fit for his
place.
