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.

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 opened for school. The blinds were broken off one of the windows and the melodeon taken through it- We have known many mean things to transpire, but this surely caps them alL The school was established some time ago for the benefit of ths poorer class of people living in that neighborhood, and by great exertion, a sufficient amount of money was raised to pnr- Wsecieo desks, work boxes, tcalette nets, and nnde* OOCt, at E.

Meanwhile, we cantion the public to notice who (if any person) offers a melodeon for sale. Bab Boons Closed.—According to the laws of Georgia all houses that sell liquors are re quired to be closed, (ao far as the liquor is con cerned,) on election day. Those, therefore, who failed last night to lay in a day's rations ahead, will have to tough it out on a dry line to-day. Doe t fo^gvt that Gasper Malado is at the oyster stand ia the Georgia No. 2.

The disappointed Bopnblioans "claim that they are not represented on that com mittee. The debate is acrimonious. In the eleotion committee of the Senate only Morton favors Blodgett. The rest favor Norwood, in the contest from Georgia. 5I6UT DISPATCHES. C'onirresalonnl. Washington, December 18.—Senate.—The New York salt manufacturers protest against the redaction of the salt duty. The whole day was consumed in tho discus sion of tbe character of the Committee of Be- trenchment. Bayard insisted there should be two Democrats on the oommittee, and Sumner denounced the exclusion of bis wing from the committee. The Senate is still in session. House.—No bills of general interest intro duced under tho weekly call. Holdeman introduced a resolution regretting the severity of Thier’s government towards the Communists. An objection waa raised, when Holdeman moved for a suspension of the rules The vote stood 95 to 86—not two-thirds—and the House refused to suspend the rules. A resolution sympathizing with foreign people straggling for self-government was adopted unanimously. Columbia, December 18.—In the Ku-klux trial to-day, the case of Hoye:; Mitchell was closed by tho elaborate argument of Reverdy Johnson, who expressed the utmost horror at the outrages to which the witneti.-ei had testi 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 Jim Williams for having voted in 1870. The defence gave notice of a motion for a new trial. In the House of Representatives to-day the report of 0. C. Bowen’s investigating committee arraigning the Governor and otho^itato offi cials for alleged fraudulent over-is^M of Stats bonds, was holly discussed for four hours. Tho Speaker ruled that a two-thirds vote was re quired to adopt tho report as tho sense of the House, because the adoption of its final recom mendation would be a first step towards im peachment. The dooision waa overruled and tbe report adopted aa the sonso of the House. At six o’clock Bowen introduced a resolution that R. K. Scott, Governor of the State of South Carolina, be impeached of high crimes and mis demeanors. He also introduced a similar reso lution impeaching tbe State Treasurer, Parker. Tbo resolutions woro laid ovor under the roles. There was a large attendance and great excite ment. Washington, December 18.—Tho Supreme Court in the case of Semmes vs. the City Fire Insurance Company, of Hartford, Gonn., holds that when parties fix a limitation by contract within which an act is to be done, and the per formance within tbe time was prevented by war, and the time expires without its perform ance, tbe court will not interfere to make a new oontract, but will leave the controversy to be determined by the local statute of limitation. This in the Hartford is six years. Judgment re versed and a new trial ordered. Tho case ia from Mississippi. Paymaster Genoral Brioe is retired at his own request. Major Alvord, the acting Comptroller, has called for bank statements at the close of busi ness on the 16th mst. Tbe Southern Claims Commission resumes its session immediately after New Years’ day.

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. THE GEORGIA PBKSS Tho Grand Jnry of Fulton oonnty have fouud a tree bill agaimt Foster Blodgett for larceny after trust The Atlanta papers note the death, on Satur day, of Frank, a yonng eon of ex-Governor Brown. We clip these items from the Atlanta Contti tattoo, of Sunday: High-Handed Measures.—We learn that J. A. O’Neal, Thomas Wilson and McKenzie Nich 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 were ordered discharged this morning, in the trial before United States Commissioner John L. Conley: B. Haney, W. L. Stewart, W. Amos, J. Moreland, J. G. Hale, J. W. Blevins, W. P. Sharrock, T. W. Sbarrock and Alfred McBryar. The announcement was made in open court. Yet, one of the offioers refused to allow tbe parties to pass out. W. F. H. Tatnm and G. W. M. Tatnm were bound over in a bond of $2,500 each, to appear at the next term of the United States District Court, to answer to (he charge. Jas. Warner and William Yanoy, two negro barbers of Atlanta, being short of customers hashed each other with razors on Saturday, by way of keeping their hands in. And then the police oame to the front, and “the bugles sung twioo.” As iron safe belonging to MeCIuakey 4 Witherspoon, stock dealers of Atlanta, was blown open Saturday morning about 3 o’clock, and $300 developed thorefiom. No trail. Savannah shipped 5,379 bales of cotton, val ued at $183,620 14, to Liverpool, Geneva and Barcelona, on Saturday. Augusta and Athens both had slight snows, last Friday. Augusta is flush on frosli pork. Two firms or that city have butchered 1,200 hogs this sea- n. 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 ger and stronger. They had put a ghost down there a few months ago which appeared in woman’s clothes, but now it takes (Jie shape of a dog with a bail of firo for a head. We'll go the beer that it’s a moDksy or a snake, next time. 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 street, occupied by Appel 4 Son, clothiers, and Wm. M. Davidson, wholesale fruiterer, both were destroyed. Davidson lost from $800 to $1,000. Appel 4 Son were fully covered by insurance. The houses were folly insured. The Methodist church at Cave Spring was damaged to the amount of $200 by fire, last week. The Borne Courier says tbe wholesale hard ware trade of that city has increased 40 per cent, within the last three months, wholesale dry goods ditto, 25 per cent., drugs, 30 per cant., groceries, 33 per cent. The nail factory is now turning ont 120 kegs of nails per day, against 40 or 50 last year. We qnote this item from the last Blakely News: 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. FINANCIAL AAD COMMERCIAL Dolly Review of Itie Market.
