( iLO M LOGAN St CO. would most respectfully
I inform the good citizens of Macon and the sur
rounding country, that they are not quite aell : ng off ,
their stock at New A r ork cost, nor do they loudly boast
ot under selling their neighbors The design of this
advertisement is to disseminate extensively this unde
niable truth, viz: that our assortment is rich and racy— .
rare and beautiful; comprising every desirable article of
Taney and Staple Dry Goods
usually found in store on speculation. ’Tis unnecossa
ry to enumerate the many, rery many extravagantly
beautiful articles on hand, and to comment upon intrin
sic worth, is deemed entirely superfluous. Suffice dto
say, that allour rich Fancy bressGoods, French Work
ed Capes, &c were purchased of A. T. Stewart &, Cos., ;
i New York, and differ materially in style and patterns
i from all others in Macon.
j All those who entertain the erronious impression
! that we hold up tor high prices, can receive occular de
monstration to the contrary by /nipping in and looking
for themselves.

! MISCELLANY.
Prescott, the Itlnitl Historian.
The last work of this distinguished writer,
his History of the Conquest of Peru, is repre
sented to be ns creditable to his reputation ns
‘either his ‘'Ferdinand und Isabella” or his
j “Conquest of Mexico.” We. observe that it
is very highly ro amended in the July num
ber ol Blackwood’s. The United States may
well he proud of a citizen who has thus ue
quired ft cosmopolitan fame.—And when we I
consider the remarkable disadvantage under j
which he has laboured in all his researches, ;
jof being nearly blind it is impossible to with- ;
hold the warmest admiration of his noble per- I
J severance. In his Preface to the Conquest of !
Peru, he thus touchingly describes the diffi- j
; culties he has had to encounter from the im- !
perfection ofhis vision.— Rich<nonil Tim**.
‘‘Before closing these remarks I may be per- ‘
mitted to add a few lines of a personal nature. !
|ln several foreign notices of iny waitings the J
author has been said to he blind; and more j
, than once I have had the credit of having lost i
my sight in the composition of my first history. !
When I have met with such erroneous ac- j
counts I hnve hastened to correct them. But
the present occasion affords me the best means
of doing so; and I am the more desirous of this
as l fear some of my own remarks, in tlie pre
face to my former history have led to tlie mis
take.
\\ bile nt the University I received an iniu
ry in one of my eyes which deprived me of the
sight of it. The other, soon after was attack
ed by inflammation so severely that for some
time I lost sight of that also; and. though it
was subsequently restored the organ was so j
much disordered as to remain perm mently ;
debilitated while twice in my li r e since I
have been deprived of the use of it for all
purpose* of und writing for several
’ years together. It was during one of these
periods thru I received from Madrid (he mate
rials for the ‘IJi.-tory of Ferdinand and Isabel
la.’and in my disabled condition, with my
transatlantic treasures lying around me I was
j like one pining from hunger in the midst of
abundance. In this state. I resolved to make
: the ear. if possible, do the work of the eye.—
I procured the the sendees of a secretary, who
: read to nte the various authorities; and in time
I became so (hr familiar with the sound of tlie
ditlerent foreign languages, (to some of which,
! indeed I had been previously accustomed by
a residence abroad.) that I could comprehend
his reading without much difficulty. Ar the
reader proceeded I dictated copious notes : and
when these had swelled to a considerable a
mount. they were read to me repeatedly, till I
’ had mastered their contents sufficiently (or the
purpose of composition. Tlie same notes fur
nished an easy means of reference to sustain
! tlie text.
•Still another difficulty occurred in the me
chanical labor of writing, which I found a se
vere trial to the eye. This was remedied by
means ofa writing case, such ns is used by
the blind, which enabled me to commit my
thougts to paper without the aid of sight ser
-1 ving me equally well in the light.—The ehar
j aeters thus formed made a near approach to
hieroglyphics ; but my secretary became ex
pert in the arl of deciphering, and a fair copy—
, with a liberal allowance tor unavoidable blun
ders —was transcribed for the use of the priti- I
ter. I have described the prongs with more i
minuteness, as some curiosity has been repeat
edly expressed in reference to my modu* oper
avrli under my privations, and the knowledge
of it nitty be oi’ some assistance to others in
similar sirrumstances.
•Though 1 was encouraged by the sensible
i progress oi iny work it was necessarily slow.
| nut in time the tendency to inflammation dim
i ashed, and the strength of the eye was confir
med more and more. It was at length so far
j restored that 1 could read for several hours of
’ the day, though my labots , u tins way an
sitrily terminated with daylight. Nor could 1
ever dispense with the services of a secretary
or with the writing case; for contrary to the
| usual experience, I have found ivri'ing a se
verer trial to the eye than reading— a remark,
however, which docs not apply to tlie reading
of manuscript; and to enable myself, there
fore to revise my composition more carefully,
[caused a copy of the ‘History of Ferdinand
and Isabella, to he printed for my own inspec
tion. before it was sent to press lor publication.
.Such ns I have described was the improved
. state of my health during the preparation of
the ‘Conquest of Mexico,’ and. satisfied with
’ being raised so nearly ton level with the rest
ol mv species. I searely envied the superior
good fortune ofthose who could prolong their
studies into the evening and the later hours
or ue utgitk.
• But a change has again taken place during
the last two years. Tlie sight of my eye has
i become gradually dimmed, while (he seusi
tulity of the nerve has been so far increased
1 that for several weeks of the last year I I uve
not opened a volume; ami through the whole
i time I have not had the use of it. of an aver-
I age. for more than an hour a day. Nor can 1
cheer myself with the delusive expectation
that impaired as the organ has become Irani
, having been tasked probably beyond its
strength, it can ever renew its youth, or he ol
‘much service to me hereafter in my literary
, researches. Whether I shall have the heart to
enter as I had proposed on anew and more
extensive field of historical labor, with these
impediments. I cannot say. Perhaps long hab
it, and a natural desire to follow up tlie career
whirhl have so long pursued, may make this
in a manner necessary, as my past experience
lias already proved that it is practicable.
“From this statement —too long, I fear, lor
his patience —the reader, who finds any ruri
| osity about the matter, will understand the
i real extent of my embarrassments in my his
’ toricul pursuits. That they have not been
I very light will be readily admitted, when it is
considered that I have had but a limited use
| of my eye, in its best state, and that much of
I the time 1 have been debarred from the use
•altogether. Yet the difficulties I have to Con
tend with are very far inferior to those which
, fill to the lot ofa blind mini. I know of no
historian, now ulive, who can claim tlie glory
of having overcome such obstacles but the
, author ot “La Coquette de I’ Angleterre pur
| les Nommndsj” who, to use his own touching
I and beautiful language, “has made himself
’ the friend of darkness;” and who. to n profound
philosophy that requires no light hut that
1 from within, unites u ciipncity lor extensive i
and vurioUM research that might well demand |
the severest application of the student.”

Taking in a Native.
A ludicrous scene occurred the other day in
Anthony street, near where the new theatre
is in course of construction, which if a brief
description may convey an adequate impres
sion ot it, is well worth telling.
One of the laborers growing thirsty under
the influence of a hot sun, went hastily over
to the nearest hydrant for a drink, and clap
ping his capacious mouth to the spout. imbib
ed the Croton just as it came in the most
lorciblc and plenteous manner imaginable.—
Hardly had ooor Paddy, however, tasted the
gushing flood that distended his cheeks when
lit strati and bolt upright and. with a look of
agonized horror commenced a series of pun •
tomitnie contortions which were absolutely
painful to witness.
“Ow—ow—ugh !”he groaned convulsively,
at the same time clawing at hia throat in a
frenzied manner, while be spirted the water
forth again with the energy of n wounded
W’liale ; then suddenly recovering the use of
his speech he shouted— Och, inurthrr! but
he’s i/one ; it’s all over wid me now 1”
hat’s gone !” exclaimed ti: ■ crowd that
hud gathered around him. “What's gone 1”
“I’ve swallowed him !Oh howly St. Pat
rick !—l’ve swallowed him !’’
“And what the deuce is’t ye’ve ■wallowed?”
‘•A snake!” A murthering snake! oh. how
ly St. Patrick protect me !”
“Sure, then, ye’ve made a savin’o’ yer din
ner!” said a fellow laborer, more alive to fun
than sympathy; while n shout of mingled
laughter and incredulity followed, in which
even the poor sufferer could hardly refrain
from joining.
“But was it alive man?’’ inquired a sym
pathetic individual when the confusion subs,
ded.
“Alive, did ye say ! By the blessed powers
ye don’t think that I’d he alter ating him dead
Alive, as it is! and did’t he jump down nn
throat in spite o’ me teeth?” Then clappin
his hands to his stomach, he exclaimed
“Och. hone, he’s squirming now! Oh how'.
St. Patrick! O why did’t ye do yer woi
intircly, and kill the snakes m this murthering
country, too ? —Help ! he’ll bite the inside
me ! Oh, howly Moses ! Help! murthe.
i tire! and poor l’at, distracted by fear, c t
more capers than a Camanche at a war dance.
“Tut,tut! Be quiet, man!” returned ano
| ther. “how do you know it was a snake ?”
“How does I know, it is? Didn’t I lb:
him wiggling his tale ? oh, howly St. Pntri.
j deliver me!”
A benevolent looking gentleman heressf;u f ;
I gested that it might possibly be a fish or per
haps an eel; and remarked that there ought
to be a filter attached to every hydrant in the.
city ns tiie water is full of all sorts of animal
cule, etc.
“It’s an ail!” shouted a hodmnn. catching
at the idea. “Mike, it’s an ail! Run for a
phnlter. and ye’ll catch the rascal prisintly.”
“A filter! a filter!” was the general cry.
“Run, Mike, for a filter!” Without pausing
to inquire into the feasibility of using tiie arti
cle in question for the purpose desired, the
poor distracted son of Erin strated with the
speed of a race horse for tiie office in Broad
: way where the figure of Hebe standing in
! tfie window ‘pours her never ceasing fount.”
A what d’ye call’em!” crid he, rushing
tVixntu ally into the establishment.
j “A snake catcher, for the love of ! A
I snakecatcher! Oh howly Saint Patrick!”
he continued, snatching up one and applying
jit energetically to his lips. “Come out wid
! ye, ye thief o’ the world!”
“My pood fellow,” said the .astonished
knight of Diaphragms, “what’s the matter
with you ?”
“Matther, is it! Isn’t every thing the mnt

“An eel! How came an eel in your stom

And didn’t the varmint jump into my mouth

Hut my man. that won’t do any good now.
It ehoud have been attached to the hydrant,
and then you might have drank with perfect
safety.’
And won’t it catch him now?’ asked Mike,
in a piteous tone, turning aghast as he drop
ped the instrument in despair.
‘Of course not —how should it 7*
Och. murther! what will become of me!’
exclaimed Mike, with un agony truly pamful
to behold.
Get a sockdolager tish-hook ?’ shouthed a
wag from the crowd.
Kun for the doctor,’ said another, ‘and get
a stomach pump.’
This suggestion was instantly followed,
and he started fora drug storet ar by.. The
apothecary however, applied an emetic, in
stead of the. pump, a nil the poor fellow, after
violent retching, ejected a lively black eel,
about six inches long.
•Oh. howly Bt. Patrick!’ he exclaimed, ex
periencing immediate relief. ‘Why didn't you

And. with sundry other resolutions which
would huve shocked the ears of a temporal’
man. poor Mike, pule mid trembling with ex

them to come into this city, where she would

than their straitened circumstance* would

bark immediately. The noble hearted ern

and joined herself and brother here; and the
