Whatever is said of this firm in Colum bus is fully sustained in Macon. Tho house is one of tho largest in the South. It carries an'immense stock of good*, buys strictly for cosh, and consequently at tho very lowest prices. They had a mammoth stock in store a short while ago; hut so greatly line it been reduced that they havo been forced to enter the market again, and by tho first of Jan uary will havo in store a bran new and very largo stock, bought for cash when tho market wa3 most depressed by tho panic. Hero is what the Enquirer says; and that paper might have added that Ross A Coleman sell moro Eagle and Plienix goods than any other house on tho conti nent : In these days of general dullness and stagnation of trade, it is pleasant to sio a live house, and to know that it is thriv ing.

A cutting affray took place over in E.iit Maeon yesterday evening, in which Charles Bowers received pretty rough treatment at the hands of Roger McCall. The fuss grow out of a dog light. Bow ers wa? cut with a knife, in the head and also in tho stomach, both wounds being severe ones.

Nmall-I'ov In Nunrnr fount). A negro man living on Mr. Mark llol- li-?' place in Monroe county, was taken ill u-few days since, but no one knew the nature of his malady. Suddenly he.was mi . si'll from liis cabin one morning, and upon searching for him, he was found dead in a field near by and his body cov ered with sores. He was removed to his cabin and laid out in state, where he was visited by nearly every negro in the neighborhood. When a physician arrived to examine the corpse, he uiseovorod that j the man had died of small-pox. We learn learned that the order was bales of checks and .tripos—all ctsb. for being close buyers, this house appreciates tho advantages of cash purchases. The extent of business done by this, tho lead ing house of the central city, can be bet ter appreciated when ouo knows that they use of Eagle and Phenix goods alone over $100,000 worth per annum.

Maeon is justly proud of this model house, and we can but ad mire their sound discretion and good judgment in knowing where to buy their goods. * Open To-day.

This is a rare oppor tunity for consumers of that article to invest, and a?l should supply themselves at once. Mr. Hall does not believe in doing thing? by halves, and lie has put Tine MrliooHiousev -Tlie Purchase of the Polhill Property. ft'ommunlcateit.l Sailort Telegraph and Messenger: Tlie wri ter of that article opposing the erection of fine sohoolhoiises, such as you described in your comments, is needlessly alarmed, i Wo have gotten over tlie old notion that anything that has tho name of a house is good enough for school purposes. It is now believed that there ia oa much rea son for building schoolbouses with ex clusive reference io the purposes for which they nre intended as there is for so constructing dwelling-houses. But it is not in reply to this part of tho communication that this article is written. Tho objoet is to correct the eironous im pression that the rolhill lot was pur chased with a view to erecting thereon, at this time, a school-house corresponding . to tho one for which tho foundation is being prepared in South Macon. The object of the purchase was to secure a central location tor our high school; and by purchasing this property not only was one of the best location* in the eity for the purpose secured, but the buildings on the lot can be so utilized as to make it unnecessary for the city to erect a build ing there for several years. We will need another grammar school building in the northern part of the city corresponding to tho one about to be erected in the southorn section, but City Council has the assurance of Hon. Jos. T.
