CITY AFFAIRS
FRIDAY MORNING. DEG. 22,1871.
Seating Rink open every night from half-
past seven to half-past nine o'clock.
Collision.—Yesterday afternoon as the pas
senger train on the Central Road was moving
out from the shed, and the train on the Macon
and Western moving in, they oollided near the
entrance to the shed, but both trains moving
slowly no material damage was dona A few
bumpers were broken end a brakeman slightly
hurt is the extent of the oeaualties.
Anotukb Cold One.—Yesterday was another
wintry day. Daring the forenoon the eon shone
brightly but in the afternoon it became cloudy
and damp rendering it exceedingly unpleasan
A few minutes before sunrise the mercury indi
cated 21 degrees in YineviUe, which is, exoept
in rare cases, about aa cold weather as we usu
ally have in this latitude.
The Stolen Mzlodzon.—We call sprcisl at
tention to the advertisement of the ’feuperin-
dendent of the Presbyterian mission school,
offering a reward of ton dollara for the melodeon
that was stolen from the chapel last week. Tbe
Superintendent and teachers have labored zeal
ously in behalf of their echool, and they feel
the Ion of their melodeon greatly. Look out
for it.
Sale or Paintlvos.—The oonoert ia Bah. ion's
Hall attracted the elite of Macon, and the sale
of the beantifnl painting in the old poatoffioe
building was a failure. The visit of so dis
tinguished a vocalist as Mrs. Moulton, we were
oonfident beforehand, would eclipse any and
everything beeida To-night we feel assured
that the sale will be largely attended. To
those who have not visited and examined those
gems of art we recommend a visit to the
plaoe to-day, aa to-night will be offered tha
last oppprtnnity to make a purchase. They
are, in truth, real gems, and we once more
urge our citizens to attend the sale to-night.
Come Back.—We are glad indeed that the
South Georgia Conference have returned to the
people among whom they labored so faithfully
this year, the beloved pastors of the Mulberry
andFiiat Streets Methodist churches—Rev. J.
O. Branch to the former and Rev W. W. Hicks,
D. D., to the Utter. Tbe smiles of Frovidenoe
eeem to have rested upon their labors this year
and great success has crowned their efforts to
npbnild the earthly kingdom of the Redeemer.
We know that their flocks are greatiy rejoiced
to have them abide with them and brea^ to
them the bread of life another year. They ere,
each of them, able and zealous ministers, and
we trust that they may continue to see the
work of ths Lord prospering in their hands.
The Moulton Concebt.—A large and fash-
ionable audience greeted Mrs. Monlton and her
talented assistants at Ralston's Hall last night.
The programme for the evening consisted of
the rarest genu of musie, and was rendered
with charming grace and masterly skill by the
accomplished Udy. Her assistants, too, ao-
qnitted themselves well, and fnlly sustained
their boundless artistio renown. Each singer
greeted with hearty encores from the audi-
e. The lateness of the honr forbids an ex
tended notice of the concert, bnt Mrs. Moulton
certainly won the admiration of her entire au
dience, and we hope that she and the talented
artiste who accompany her, may, at some f attire
time, again charm th9 citizens of Macon with
their wonderful vocal powers.
Tbavel Incbeaeino.—We learn from the
conductors on the Southwestern Road that the
daily number of passengers has been greater
for the past two weeks than at any time in
many months. We leant also from onr hotel
proprietors that they are doing a thriving
business in tho “transient” line. We are
glad to hear that somebody is prospering. The
day trains on the Southwestern Road are
crowded to their utmost capacity every day.
With such asoommodating {gentlemen as Mat
thews, Dasher and Bass to superintend the trains
we do not wonder that parties who can pos
sibly arrange to pass over that road should do
With the oonduotors on ths night accom
modation trains we have no acquaintance, but
three nicer gentlemen than the conductors of
the regular day passenger trains can not be
found.

Sabbath School Meetino.—A meeting of aU
the sabbath schools in the city will be held in
tbe Presbyterian Church, on next Sunday after
noon, at 3 o’clock. Rev. Jno. McCulloob, cf Ken
tucky, Secretary of the Southern Department of
the Amerioan Sunday Sobool Union, will deliver
an address on the oooasion. He ia an eloquent
and impressive speaker, and we bespeak for
him a large audienoe. It is a subject in which
eveiy professed Christian should feel and man!
fest a lively interest—the religious training of
the young. Much good has already been ac
complished through the medium of the Sunday
School, and much remains yet to be dona We
hope onr people will not forget the meeting at
the Presbyterian Church next Sabbath. We
will mention the subject again, and try to put
the people in remembrance of the day and
h0Ur - -
Aobicultubal Meeting.—We hope our citi
zens will remember that the Bibb County Agri
cultural Society hold their next regular monthly
meeting in the City Hall, on Saturday next—
Business of much importance will come before
tho meeting. The labor question for 1872 will
be discussed. This is, in onr opinion, the most
important subject that can possibly be present
ed for practical solution. The present labor
system, or rather want of system, is doing in-
calenlable damage to the agriculture! interests
of the country. We want, and muBt have, if
wo ever succeed in agriculture, concert of ac
tion among the planters. There moat be some
practical plan adopted, whereby capital can
control labor. We must realize the fact that
individual effort will be of no avail in an at
tempt to systematize free labor, and that an
universal, thorough understanding must be
made among land owners before it can be re
duced to anything like a proper system. Fences
have gone to wreck, low lands have been ren
dered unfit for use by inundation, and broken
lands by washing into gullies, from a want of
proper ditching; and the farming interests
of the country generally are sorely crippled,—
There must be some remedy proposed and re-
dueed to practioe. Ths fence question will
probably be discussed also. Delegates will be
elected to the next Agricultural Convention.
Some advance steps will be taken with regard
onr County Fair ter 1872, and perhaps other
items of importance. Wo hope our citizens
generally will realize the importance of the
meeting and turn out en
The Late Mishap on the Ctntbal Road.—
On the night ot the lStb instant, as the up pas
senger train on the Central was passing Walnut
Creek bridge the bell was rung wrongfully and the
train stopped. Before it oould get headway
again on the np grade a freight train, which was
following the passenger train, cams in collision
with the latter and inflicted some little damage
—Tery little beyond breaking some of the coup
lings. Common report, however, magnified the
mischief, and seems to have been embodied in
local article in this paper next morning. The
next issue corrected that aooonnt,but we received
yesterday the following upon the aubjeot, from
the Savannah office of the road :
Savannah, Ga., December 20, 1871.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:— The no-
tioe of an accident on this road, published in
your paper of the 19th inst, conveyed the im
pression that the damage was much greater
than really happened, aa yon will admit, when
I inform yon that the rear car, which reoeived
the whole shock from the freight engine, was
brought to Savannah that night with passengers
in it. In fact, tha entire passenger train of
five cars that came to Savannah on the night
of the accident was in the train when the acci
dent occurred, and every car that was in the
train could have been brought to Savannah
that night by carrying them wi th chains instead
of the ordinary coupling?, which were broken.
You will, therefore, see that instead of a “com
plete wreck of two care of the passenger train,”
there was, in reality, no car in the train seri
ously damaged. And instead of a man with a
lantern being placed in the rear of the passen
ger train, he was sent back as rapidly ss possi
ble for the purpose of stopping the freight
train, and bet for the difficulty of passing
quickly over Walnut Creek bridge, he would,
without doubt, have succeeded in giving such
timely notioe as to prevent the Accident
In reference to the lady with five children
that remained in the car. If the rear car ia
meant, I can only say that I entered that car
Immediately after ths aocidest, and if there
were any persona in it I foiled to see them.
Tho whole difficulty woe caused by ringing
the bell as a signal to stop tbe train. This, I
believe, was done by some one who wished to
get off the train, and not for “ malicious ”
The result was, however, the same.
Gzaxd Rattle at Caelos’.—On Monday
night next, at the saloon of W. P. Carolos, will
be raffied a fine horse worth three hundred
dollara, a beautiful diamond pin valued at
one hundred and fifty dollara, and a fine gun
valued at one hundred. Fifty-five chances will
be sold at ten dollars per ebaroe, and there
will be three chances to win a prize. Tha
highest number takes the hone, the second the
pin, and the third thtLgun. Don't foil to be
on hand, as the boxircxjwct lota of fun, and
the winners are to treat the crowd to on oys
ter supper.
Chzbbt Stbeet.—Perhaps there is not
street in Macon on which more business
done than on Cherry. Wagons are crowded
together every day, and groceries and dry
goods are turned out in quantities. Bnt the
house that does the heaviest business of them
all is the Georgia No. 2. Casey keeps a first-
class saloon, and it ia the place to get some
thing good.
