Ona week Ago we pnt this old paper in t new drum at oraddemble ezpenoo to ,,-irwlTf*. It Ukoa at loaat a ton and a quartos of costly type to complete thi* ration, and the meat remarkable thing i hnat thi* purchase i* that it waa all for u. in hoodoo, England, at the ngh Messrs. oL P. Hoei'll A Co., of Hew York, their agent* ; n ihk country. It ia rcry clear und typ*a and the whole great t;.- r ..ty and bnlk of it eante through packed in metal lane* inclosed in wood—aafely _ nithout a letter miaaing, ao far aa we jf at present adrined, cieept some of the printer, contend there ia a deficit in the letter x in one font, but we tell them to wait and see, or ootint tho number of i'. used in composition and loam bow rely few go a groat way... Sow we bought this English type, not l.esuw! it ia any bettor than American !rpe,hut juattoeawc money—it inchsapor. That i* to my, a man cun pay the exorbit .nt protootiro duties exacted on foreign trpc.and still find the typo cheaper than ti.r probetod American typo. It Ls not u I. dutiful illustration of the workings of a hi|>h irtrained protective system thut, at th" hint, it ia practically destructive of the very industry it is designed to protect. True, thu law proscribe* a heavy loun- tv op American type to be pnid by tho ,-itin n who promimea to buy typo not manufactured in America. Hut tho law a)*o provide* a similar bounty on the ■rotal* which compose tho type—tho t oh, machinery and appliances with which it i* m do; and then, too, aa tho inovitahlo lesnlt of this false and vicious .y.tein, the coat of production is increased in every other particular, till at lost tie bounty is more than off-act, and tho foreign manufactured article staggers in with all the legal burden* on its shoulders anil in apito of them. So it is that foreign types are bought new. when under a light duty nobody over thought of buying them. So it is, that feraign book* have become almost as com* men in Amerioan marts a* American honks, while before the war it wan hard to find a foreign hook on tho shelves of an Amerioan bookseller. And if tho coun- try will only continue thi* silly busmens hmg enough, it will ooufusc and break down the whole range of American man ufacture*. ■ But this ia a digression. Wo are ox- trvmely grateful to the Georgia press for their kind and very complimentary notices of the paper in its new apparel. We liavo made no allusion to the matter heretofore from an extreme aversion to the system of wilf-pufllng which baa become too fash ionable uf late among a portion of the press, and which, as Mr. Toomlis would say, absolutely fatigues public dingust. Bitt we am rejoiced to aay that tho T*i.z- uuru ha* a good many friend* and read ers, and was never in a more prosperous 1.111(11(100. Some of our most valued patrons say they regret the change of typo and the loss of much of the distinctive peculiar ity in the appearance of tho paper. Let niu-h remember that although tho type could easily be rood when it was aban doned, it would have been soon past that condition. It had been four years in con stant use printing ten editions a week, and waa pretty thoroughly worn out. A change soon was inevitable, and it is not graceful to lie /erred into anything— oven into a new dross. We trust os the eyes of our readers become again famil iar with the new lineament., they will turn toword the old journal as heartily as ever; and wo shall strive to make it worthy of their affection.

A Hallway Livery Establish ment. General McClellan is general manager of a company just established in New York, which is called tho United Rolling Stock Company, and might be denomina ted a railway livery establishment. It builds and buys, and keeps ready to loan such rolling stock as railway companies may ne d, such as locomotives, passenger cam, baggage oars, freight cars, coal cars, etc. A railway company just established, which ba* not the moons to stock its rood* properly, may have locomotives and cars to any extent from t his novel corporation, which has. or shortly will have, over cue hundred locomotives ready for use, and cam ad UkUmm.

Capt. T.G.-IIolt. who has just returned from the North, report! exceedingly en couraging prospect* for the approaching State Fair in Macon, and says it cannot fail to be an exhibition for exceeding in magnitude and attractiveness anything which lias ever been witnessed in this State. Wherever ho went among the manufacturers, merchants, former*, stock raisers, poultry and racing men of the Northern, Eastern and Middle States great interest was felt in the exhibition. Almost evoxy department of trade and manufactures in New York City will be elegantly und abundantly represented at the Fair, and the goods on exhiostion will also lie on sale at the same time. The Fair will be a grand baxar, combining a magnificent exposition of cTery variety of goodtv waxes and inotehandixo. .such os never was seen before in Georgin, with every opportunity for purchase. Such shopping on a grand scale, in the midst of such an endless and puxtling variety of the rich, rare, beautiful and useful, will bo enough to craze the ladies and drive pupa and husband to despair. Tho display in embroideries, fancy dress goods, carpetings, furniture, tap estry and upholstery, military goods, boots and shoes, carriages, musical instru ment i. jewelry and silver ware, furnish ing goods of all kinds, form and garden utensils, and machinery of all kinds, will far exceed any existing conceptions. The leading houses in all these departments will be handsomely represented. Going to New England and to New Jersey und Delaware and Maryland lie found preparations on foot for an abun dant representation of the choice cattle, sheep, Hwino and poultry of those States, and lively inquiries for room*nnd accom- lll'-l.ltii'U-. In short, the only question is provision for the crowds who will be here, and it will be necessary for the honor of Macon to bestir ourselves to the utmost to secure sleeping accommodations for the' vast multitude of-visitore. These accounts from Capt. Holt agree with the facts apparent here. The exhi bition spaco has been nearly doubled, and t it is all engaged. Provision for 2i0 iiorscs has 1-ecn made and is making, and it is all applied for. The rush will be extraordinary. The spectacle—milit ary, civic and equine, the display of all that is gorgeous, beautiful and useful in every department, will exceed anticipation and description. The amusement, fun and excitement will be great. Only let us have good weather, and Macon will play the host to the best of her ability. IxmcTMrxT or Gex.

Kimball House between Mr. Richard < "»rk of this city, and Mr. Tknoitou. who h attending Mcore’fi Bmdnoss College, of tills phtce. The fight rcsnlt-sl in Mr. Thornton re ceiving a very painful but not dangerous wound in the right arm. The quarrel originally commenced between Mr. Chav. Pemberton and Mr. Thornton. The dif ference arose from a lsit mode on a game of billiards. Pemberton claimed, ofta the bet was lost, that it was mud- iu jest, and Mr. Thornt.-m insisted on the pay ment of it. A dispute was entered into, and a good deal of abusive language used, especially by Mr. T. Tho Iielliger- ents armed tlicmsciv- with biUiard lialls, cues, und other such weapons as were convenient. Had it nut l>oen for the ef forts of Mr. Connor, the proprietor of the saloon, to keep the jsiace. a fight would have certainly ensued there. Mr. P. then left the billiard-room in the company of Sir. Bichani Clarke. Here tho accounts differ a little, but the following details are corroborated by the majority of the narrators: Thornton, accompanied by two friends, approached Pemberton, who was stum ling in tbo vicinity of the cigar stand, renewed the dispute, which was entered into by the whole party. Clarko warned Thornhio to be careful about tho language he used to Pemberton. Mr. Thornton then asked Clarke what ho laid to do with it, »nd followed the. inquiry with a gross insult. The consequence was that the wools were scarcely uttered before they hitchod. As they came to gether Clarko inflicted a very ugly wound with a pocket knife, cuttin g a deep gash through the muscle of Thornton’s arm, just abovo the elbow. Tlie parties were then separated. Mr. T„ whose arm was bleeding profusely, was carried into Pull man ,t Low's drug house, and Dr. AVest- morelnnd called in to dress the wound. After examining too wound and attend ing to the wants of the wounded man Dr. W. stated that nothing serious could possibly result from the cut. Tut same paper says that Mr. Phillips and his party from that city, who have gone to Florida on an affair of Honor, were at Neal’s Landing on Wednesday, but that Col. Waddell and his friends bad not arrived np to that time. The Phil lips party will remain in Florida until to day, when, if tho other side do not make their appearance, they will return to Georgia. Col. L. E. Bleckley, of Atlanta, con tradicts a statement mode by a corres pondent of the Constitution that tront ore not found “in any Atlantic waters of Georgia.” He says he has often caught mountain trout in the upper tributaries of Warwoman’s creek, a Rabun county stream, and that, they have always been found there. A perfectly white crow has turned up in Harris county. The doctors in Hamilton, Harris county, offer ton per cent, premium to their first patient who will pay up bis account for this year. ■ Col. Thomas B. Loxc, special agent of the Postoffice Department, has recently written a letter to the postmaster at Grantville, of whom complaint had been made for non-delivery of newspaper mat ter from his office, from which we extract the following. We move a vote of thanks to the Col. for this much-needed moni tion: I do not consider it irrevelant to call your attention to tho close business rela tionship which exists la-tween the Post- office Department and tho Press. It is certainly very onoying to gentlemen who invest their time, money and talent in attempting to develop the resources of their respective localities to find that for want of promptness on the port of those whose duty it is to deliver the mail, that arti-les that have cost weeks of study, and talent of the first order to prepare for the public eye, ore carelessly over looked, or not delivered until the time has uassed. when good could have boon obtained by their perusal. Tho manu facturing. mercantile, agricultural, and in fact, all business suffers by such care lessness, and I trust, hereafter, you will not allow the patrons of your office to complain if in your power to prevent it.

Austin, September C.—The following are the leading points of the platform adopted by the Democratic State Conven tion after the usual preliminaries. The Convention congratulates the people! on the repeal of many odious and oppressive aets passed by; the Republican Legisla ture. They proclaim that when the Democratic party comes into power, they will administer the government in the in terest and for the benefit of the whole peo ple, and not of party; and however much they have been provoked to hostile and retaliatoy measures by outrages com mitted on them by the Republican Legis- laturc* and State Government, it will )»• part of their great mission to rise su perior to their just resentments and administer the Government in such a manner that every citizen, of whatever politics, religion, nationality r 0£ color, shall feel that hois really protected ia his life, liberty and property; that the Dem ocratic party affirms the past opinions and policy it lias ever pursued; that it is the bound en duty of the ..State to main tain an efficient system of common schools and ensure the means of securing a com mon education to every child in the State. And that every adopted citizen may enter into the spirit of perfect free dom aud action in matters of conscience, the Democracy of Texas declare it to be their firm conviction that legal interference with merely social habits of any class of citizens of native or foreign birth is contrary to sound policy, to genuine democracy and the enlightened spirit of the age. They favor the calling of a constitutional con vention by the next Legislature. The Democracy of Texas adhere to their past policy of developing tho material wealth of the State, and of advancing the best interests of the people by encouraging the construction of railroads. That to this end and to encourage the invest ment of capital in such enterprises. horse-power screw.

New York, September G.—There was a good deal of excitement in Wall street to-day, both in gold and stocks. It was reported that the clique for bulling gold had gone into liquidation, the decline of yesterday having been construed as an evidence of it, and the price at one time during the day fell to 12 7-8c, but after wards rallied and closed at 13 l-8c. Be fore noon rumors that the bank state ments would be more unfavorable than was expected, were current, and by the time tho statement came out the ex citement increased, and there was a rush to sell stocks. Money also advanced to seven per cent., gold and commission. During the excited times of the day failures were rumored, but the day closed without • corroboration of them. The foundation of these, it is said, was that the gold clique did not provide for car rying all their gold until after the usual hour. • From this, it would appear that the clique had nob succeeded in selling the gold. Bankers .seem to think that most of the flurry is over, and that tho disruption of the gold clique will leave plain sailing for all during the autumn. The.day closed with streets full of ru mors and with market comparatively quiet. The Mexican War Veterans. At a meeting of the Committee of Ar rangements for a celebration by tho sur vivors of the Mexican war this afternoon, it was announced that delegates would attend the celebration from Pennsylva nia, Maryland and District of Columbia.
