MACON, GA. Thursday, January 21,1858. FIRE AND WATER. In tlia City Council proceeding* of the 15th inst., appears the annual Report of George S. Obear, Esq., the efficient Chief Engineer of the Macon Fire Department. The Report speaks quite favorably of the present condition of the different Fire Companies, which are said to be well and systematically organized ; and contains some excellent suggestions for supplying Hie various sections of the City with that great desideratum, a “good supply of wa ter for Fire purposes.” We arc glad to hear that the plan proposed by Mr. Obear is very favorably received by the City Fathers. The interests of the City demand that no time should be lost in carrying his suggestions into effect. THE CAMPBELLS Have not come, but “ are coming.” They will be here next week according to their no- j tice in another colnnin. This celebrated Troupe need no commendation from us—their own reputation being sufficient to draw crowded houses wherever they go. HARD TIMES-PAY VP. As an instance of the “hard times,” we are told that a clerk of an extensive mercantile establishment in town started out last week with a lot of accounts for collection, amount ing to several thousand dollars, and after run ning about the streets all day he returned home nt night with the prodigious sum of a dollar and a quarter! As another evidence of the tightness of money matters, a gentleman from one of the largest and wealthiest connties of South-West ern Georgia assures us that, apart from what is iu the hands of the Tax Collector, there is not ready money enough in his county to buy a prime negro fellow at present prices. As still another instance of the scarcity of the “Rhino,” we will mention that out of a large number of accounts for ’57. presented at the State Press office, not one has been paid i yet. Subscribers will please take due note of this interesting fact, and send in their subscrip tion money without delay. THE DELUGE. I .list week this section of country was visit ed by heavy rains which continued up to Sat- ' urday when the weather cleared off and has since been very pleasant. The flood appears j to have l»een very general: large quantities of . stock have been drowned, and the mails have been greatly deranged by washes on the Rail Roads. According to our Exchanges the va rious water courses were higher titan they ! have been since the great Harrison freshet of] 1841. CONCERT. The lovers of music will be pleased to learn i that the renowned violinist, Vieux Temps, will soon give a Concert in our city. Jpro/ion, we would direct the reader's atten tion to the hinLsof a fair Correspondent on the subject of “Concert Manners," [COMMI SICATKU.j LADIES’ CHARITABLE ASSOCIATION. On Monday the 11th inst., the Ninth Annu al Meeting of the Board of Managers of this ’ Society was held at the old Methodist Church. ■ in this city, at 4 o’clock, P. M. The b«MM«as first in order being the election of Officers and a Board of Managers for the en suing year, the following ladies were elected: Mrs. C. W. SMITH, Sup’t. 1858. Mrs. 11. K. Ghees, Secretary. Mrs. J. 11. Oi.nr.RsiiAW, Treasurer. Managers for 1858. Baptist Church. I Methodist Church. Mrs. S. Rose. Mrs. S. Cou.ins. “ G. W. Adams, “ C. W.

Vineville. Mrs. W. B. Parker, “ J. 11. OI.DERSHAW, “ T. Hardeman. The business of the meeting over, the Society adjournod to meet on Tuesday 12th inst.. for the purpose of establishing a Sewing Depository, ! and to receive the report of the Committee ap- ] pointed to procure a supply of work and en gage some competent person to take charge ot and distribute it. The recommendations of the committee were received and agreed to. The managers are happy in being able to state that they have been so fortunate as to obtain the assistance of Mr. William Fife, who w ill dis tribute the work. They have been equally fortunate in securing an immediate supply of work from Mr. G. W, Adams, and promises of ordere from others, who frel Iwcreated in the Micceaa ot thia laudable undertaking. This is but a begintjmg, and the Board of Managers would take this occasion to appeal most earn estly so the ladies of Macon to aid them in making tlie sewing Depository a permanent resource, to those for whose benefit it is established. Without their co-operation we can do but little. There are mjiny poor but worthy women in our midst whose only means of support is the sewing they can ob tain. They often spend whole days in search of B ork and finally disheaj toncd by repeated failures, and being in pressing need of the ve ry necessaries of life, us a last resort apply to the Charitable Association for procuring assis tance. The Board of Managers whose hearts prompt them to give the needful relief often find themselves in a most embarrassing po sition, when they reflect that the object of this Association is, not to relieve those who are able to work, but to succor the sick and afflicted, those who are debarred by their in firmities from maintaining themselves, and to supply work to such applicants as are gbig to earn a support. To enable ns to do this the citizens of Macon must contribute work as well as money. We believe it to be the duty of all who am rich in this world's goods, not only to distribute alms to the poor, but give them em ployment and thus to alleviate to some extent, the distress which appeals so impressively to every benevolent lioart, The Sewing Depository of the L. O. A. is lo cated at the residence of Mr. William Fife, Corner of Poplar street and Cotton Avenue. Mr, Fife will receive and distribute all orders confided to his care, and the Board of Mana gers pledge themselves to have them properly executed. This report is respectfully submitted. T. GREEN, Secretary. For the State Press. CONCERT MANNERS. .Ifr.ws. Editors:— A notice which I read of Thalberg’s Concert in the “Telegraph," suggests to me to-day a few words in your paper, on a outyect on which I think the Maconians, in ooiuninn with the people of other cities in Georgia, need a little lecturing. The subject is ' Concert Manners; ami ns we are soon to have some fine concerts, the occasion seems appro priate, and I hope the lovers of good music, who are so often annoyed by the bad behavior of people at concerts, will be benefitted by my remarks. In places where these sort of amusements are very common, those who frequent refined society are aware that there are certain regula tions tacitly observed by all who wish either to be, or to appear, well bred, and one who vio lated them, might, with as much certainty, be put down as nnnsed to refined society, as the person who dipped his own knife in the but ter dish, or wiped his month on the table cloth, might be considered to be a person who had not frequented polished dinner tables. In places, however, where a concert is not an event of nightly occurrence, such bad manners I are only the result of a want of reflection and it requires but a word to set right, those who possess that essential quality of gentlemen and ladies—not merely courteous and polite man ners, but that greater and far more essential matter, courteous and polite hearts and souls. In good concert manners, as in good manners on all other occasions, the soul of the thing lies in,feeling a proper regard for the comfort and pleasure of others. To be well bred at a con cert, requires, however, rather omission than commission. It is sufficient to remember that people have a right to their own ears, and to avoid, in every possible way, all noises which may interfere with their enjoyment of the mu sic—all beating of time, in any way, is ill-bred— nil exclamations of approbation, even in the right place, which those are guilty of, who af fect the connoisseur, or those still more know ing ones, whose motto is nil admirari, and whose expressionsof disapprobation are intend ed to wiu for them the same character. Al! , young ladies who “have no music in their souls," and who go to concerts to indulge in the "treason, stratagem and spoils" of flirting and talking with their attendant lieaux, ought I to remember that unless they wish to appear I ill-bred, they should defer that pleasure until I the music ceases. ] The etiquette of concert manners demands absolute and entire silence during the perform- ; mice of the musicians, even a whisper being ; considered ill-bred —every liody has as much a right to whisper ns you have yourself, and if every body exercises that right or rather infringes that rule of good breeding, why of course, no one can listen. Loud or very continued talking, even in those intervals between the pieces when remarks are j not improper, is ill-bred. The proper spirit and ] manner is quiet, watchful for the first note of i the music, the first drawing of the violinist's 1 bow across his instrument when instant silence should ensue. Verbum sat wj/ienti, and of course we may I in future conclude that all young ladies, who! are seen or heard laughing and talking with their beaux to the inconvenience of all around I them, are young Indies who have not enjoyed ; the advantage of the refined society of Macon, ] but strangers ii bo have arrived that day by R. R. from the extreme corner of the backwoods. I Or it known to be Maconians, they can only be I ,et down as those resolute Misses rather con temptously called/lot ladies. who set good I breeding at defiance. Vieux Temps and the other musicians expect ed have played before the most refined and ]a>- ’ lite audiences and we hope they will be so [ treated and listened to that they may conclude ! that there is one town iu Georgia where people can behave themselves like gentleman and la- I dies at a concert. Let it be remembered that the opinions of those musicians who visit us must be mainly derived from what they see of us at concerts, and let us so act that they need not conclude they are among hoosiers. AMATEUR. THE COTTON CROP. We copy below some remarks from the Au- i gusta Constitutionalist, in reference to the Co- j ton crop. There are many gentlemen within our knowledge whose* means of intelligence are reliable and ample, who concur witii the writer in his views, and who attribute the re- I duceii receipts at the seaports to the scarcity I of Cotton in the country : If the receipts of Cotton, to the latest dates, at the several ports, can be regarded as signifi ; eant of the extent of the crop that will reach the shipping points by the first of September ■ m xt, the crop will not exceed 2,500,000 bales. The ipiantity less than last year at the same time, appears to be too great to be attributed 1 to any action on the part of farmers to with -1 hold their Cotton tor better prices. In a meas ure. wears' free to admit that planters have ' withheld their Cotton, but they did the same ; thing last year, and haw done so for years be fore, We look at the decrease as an evidence of the shortness of the crop, caused by the late spring, wet Augm-t. and unfavorable weather Iju the West for picking Cotton. Whether I these causes have been sufficient to reduce the i quantity to 2,500,fi1'0 bales, will appear more fully during the next three months.

How is it now? Tim News from Mexico. —From the Mexi can journals and letters received by the N. O. Picayune, it appears that the recent revolu i tionary proceedings of Comonfort, assisted by ; Gen. Baez, in the city ot Mexico, has been re -1 ceived with mind, disfavor in many of the in terior portions of the country, and a large num ber of States had openly declared in the most violent manner against the new order of things. Many of the principal towns, including Vera Cruz, had also joined in opposition to Comon fort, ami a formidable military coalition was in ! process of organization to assist in the move -1 nrent against him. In several portions of the ' republic, troops were already in motion, and another change in the executive power ap peared at the date of the latest advices, to be imminent.— Savannah News. The Alabama LkiiislatoM and Kansas.— A series ot resolutions embracing the Georgia Platform (the 4th resolution of our State con vention) and instructing the Governor of Ala bama, to call a convention of the people of that State in case Kansas is refused admission into the Union with the Lecompton Constitution, were unanimously passed by both Houses of the Alabama Legislature on Thursday. The Governor is to issue his proclamation calling the convention within ninety days after he shall receive satisfactory evidences of such ac tion by Congress.— lb. From the Savannah News.

LEBRUN otters to those suffering from deaf* nesshis infallible aural remedies, which have I l>cen successful in nearly three thousand cases of con firmed deafness ! These retßetiies hare been pro nounced bv Drs. Khramer, of Berlin, and Deleau, of Paris, and Curtis Pilcher, of Loudon, us the «no.*t wonderful ever applied for diseases of internal and middle ear. Tl»< y comprise different courses fur the various diseases that affect the external and middle car. Dr. Ix-brun .rarranbt a in every rare, when 1 the car is perfect in its formation. He has eighteen certificate* from those who bad been deaf from infan y, w hose hearing is now completely restored, and they ; are m»w enabled to learn the language! Over twen • t v-seven hundred cases of deafness have been success | fully treated by him. Certificates tu that effect may 1 be seen on application. In all cases of deafness arising from inflammation, ] thickening, or even perforation of the “membraua ■ trmpani, usually called the‘drum’ 4 inflammation of ’ mucus membrane of the tympanum and custiebain tube, with accumulation of mucus; nervous aflectiuns, ! polypus growths, Ac., or when the disease can be ! traced to scarlet, typhus, billions or intermittent fe i ver, colds, the use of quinine or mercurial medicines, 1 gatherings in the ears of childhood, Ac., the sense can, in marly every instance, be restored. When a ; want of Mcrvtiun is apparent, the “Auditory canal,” j being dry and scaly : when the deafness is accompa nied with noises in the ear, like rustling of leaves, chirping of insects, falling water, ringing of bells, pulsation*, discharge of matter; when in a stooping position a sensation is felt as if a rush us blood to the head boil taken place ; w hen the hearing is perfectly acute where there is much noise, or less acute in dull, cloudy weather, or when cold has been taken, the course pursued by Dr. Ix-brun is considered infallible. Dr. DUFTUN, the only practitioner in the United States who practices the new, painless, ami success ful nu thod in treating all diseases to w bich the Eye is subject, where every other means Lave failed to , afford relief, he asks from such a fair and impartial trial. Patients sending a few particulars of their case, can have remedies sent to any part. Testimony. “We the undersigned, practitioners of medicine in the city of New Yorir, having had occasion to witness the practice of Drs. and Dufton, in diseaanr of the Ear and Eye, laving aside aii professional jeal ousy and prejudice, freely admit the course pursued by them in treating diseases of those delicate organs, from the unparalleled success which has attended it, ;is w ell worthy the attention ofour professional breth eu throughout the United States. Their system us ': culiug ducuaes of the middle and internal ear, by the usc k of “medicated vapors,” particularly iu ebrou i ic and complicated cases, forms a new era in the j practice of aural surgery, and fillsup a void which 1 has long been felt by the general practitioner. In dis ; eases of the eye, they seldom require to resort to an 1 operation. As skillful Aurists and Oculists, and en ■ thusiastically devoted to their profession, we cordial ly recommend them to such as may require their aid.’* Signed, Alkxandkh K. Mott, M. D. Gkokob S.
