Hicks, the St. Louis meteorologist, sends to the Philadel phia Press the following weather fore cast for September: Cool nights, with probable touches of frost to the northward, will prevail in most pans at the opening of the month. From the 3rd to the 7th storm conditions will develop and run their regular course from west to east. By the evening of the 5th or 6th these storm movements will havejpassed the central regions of the Mississippi val ley, and a cool wave will follow. A dash of cool northwest wind and weath er will supplement each disturbed pe* riod in September. It will grow warm and threatening, with reactionary storms on and next to the iolhoriilh. From these reactionary days forward until we pass be, ond the center of the earth's equinox, about the tid, gener al storms and gales may be looked lor. From the 14'h to 17th we count dan ger days. Seafaring folks who fail to exercise a prudent watchfulness may p y a heavy penalty. From about the 19th very warm days may be expected in the west, growing warmer and traveling cist- ward, with very a.live storms on sea, lake and land from the 20 h to 23d 1 Note rlijs period—be prepared tor the sudden and perhaps severe develop ments it may bring, and do not be caught altogether unaware should a cold wave with the frost come early freezing follow in the days immediate ly beliinJ the storm area. Earthquake phenomena at and about thii time, alto,need be nd'cSuse Tot surprise or alarm. From the 26:hto 30th the elements will undergo the last storm movements ql the mouth. We name the 27th, s8ih and 29th as probable danger days. The month bids fair to end in cool nights, with cold and frost to the northward, sufficient to justify proper watchfulness and preparation agaiost damage to immature vegetation. In answer to numberless inquiries fron all carts, we state here that we believe ,the early autumn will bring very cool weathtr, and that the cc m- ing winter wil’ much more severe than last. Such conclusion is only a part of deductions drawn and printed six years ago, call for the wet season and the mild winters through which we have passed, and for the change to dry, warm summers and colder winter lor at least three years, dating from the solstice in June, 1890,’’ You can accept as much of the above .is you like. Election of Officers. In pursuance on order ol E. L. Wight, l,t. Col. Comd’g 7th Ga. Batt.. an election will be held at the office of W. H. Bibb, Esq-, in this city, on Monday next, 22d iust., between the hours of 2 p. m. nnd 5 p. in., for 1st and 2d Lieutenants of the Thomas ville Guards, to fill the vacancies caus ed by the resignation of Lt. Wilder and Lt. Smith. By order ai 0|IA8. P. HANSEU., Capt. Comd’g Thomagville Guards. Pat Walsh says Gordon will bo elected Scoator by an overwhelming majority, no matter who opposes him. Pat Walsh knows as much as. anybody about bow the political oat will jump. The unterrified democrats of Con necticut, have been in convention. They cheered the mention of Cleve land’s name to the echo. Norwood says he will meet Gordon- That’s oil right. There were only two fights in the Radical convention at Waycross. What’s the matter with the boys any how, they seem to have lost their grip? A colored Baptist church in Sa vannah is all torn up, literally as well as figuratively. The Pastor had to flee for his life by a convenient exit in the rear of the pulpit. Chairs and pews were broken up, and used as weapons, nnd knives, sticks, fists, pistols and anything that came to hand. Nothing but the fact that most of them wero hit on the head, kept the coroner from having a busy day. Mr. Harry Brown is a ‘‘fixer.” He alludes to Mr. Norwood, as “our next Senator.” It is extemely kir.d of Mr. Brown, to inform the people of Georgia, who their next senator is to be. Thanks, awfully. No news of the result of the primary in Brooks was received last night. It was doubtless a close call between McCall and Humphreys. The tariff bill will not he reported till next week, and congress will not adjourn till some time in October. The citizens of Colquitt county arc enthusiastic over the new road. Pine lands are in big demand. Now wo may look for a lively en counter of words. Your Uncle Tom mie Norwood has challenged Gon. Gordon to n joint discussion. Quay will keep his mouth shut but many people think him a scoun drel all the same. The house would not adopt Eu’oe’s resolution to rebuko Kennedy. Brunswick has a sensation: her mayor is in jail.
