To' those who are not accustomed to reading, h : s well substantiated criticisms of the Re- pnclican nominee were, to say the least, amazing; while, on the other hand, bis description of lliat superb hero, Winfield S.

Robert Wayne, who mar ried a grand daughter of Governor Tronp, was at that time proprietor of the old mansion; hut at the time of the fire, be and Ids family were absent from home.' The origin of tlie fire mnst, from snr- romnding circumstances, have been from the carelessness of a servant. Colonel Wayne left in the morning, and ordered that dinner be served by bis return abJ5 o’clock. Preparations were being made for it when the cook was called to the Jror.t gate, which was about two hundred yards from the house, and at the head of an avenue of large spreading water oaks. It Is supposed that she must have built a large fire, which heated the stove pipe, and ignited in this way. Nothing scarcely was saved, as no one was at home. Neigh bors came a distance of two miles. The family pictures and silver ware of the old Governor were lost. The large oaks, the pride of the old homestead, were many killed and others badly injured. Colonel Wayne’s loss, he informs us, cannot be replaced with less than $0,000, and only insurance. Colonel W. has cer tainly been unfortunate, this being the fourth fins within the last eleven years in thib county.

The price was never known to be less than a dollar per. bushel until this season. It seems that speculators have taken it in hand, and for this cause many of our planters will abandon its cultivation to some ex tent another year. Eighty-five cents hardly pays the producer for his trouble. Tjiomasvjlle Post: A Hancock and English dub was organized in Thomas- ville last night, with Judge W. D. Mitch ell as president, and K. T.

Between Jesup and the St. Mary’s river, thirty-four miles, convict Jabor has been employed, and it is thought now that tha river will be reached by the first week in December.

The grading from the St. Mary’s river to Jacksonville, thirty-seven miles, will be finished last, but the rail road company intend to have the whole work finished, and trains running by Jan uary 15pif possible, with February 1st as the outside limit for the completion, as money will nqt be spared in pushing it through; At present fully J,000 men are employed along the line in grading, etc. Twc extra last engines with five and a half feet drivers have been oiriered, and quick time will be made between Savan nah and this city.

I arrived in Atlanta Sunday at noon, and found the streets thronged with men, and the entire city gaily decorated with flags and bunting of every hue and de scription. It seems as if every point from which colors can be displayed, has been utilized. At the Markham I found a crowd, but fortunately secured a berth in room 'in which were only friends, Mr.- Herbert Lane, Col. C. M. Wiley, and Captain I. H. Adams, of tbe' Putnam Ri fles. Having shaken off the dust of trav el,and secured an excellent dinner, I start ed out to view the sights. Naturally^ the first point of interest was the grand encampment, and thither, in company with a ‘ Macon mao, I strolled. The camp is located about a mile and a half from the depot,"and consists of about two hundred fine government tents, stand ing in the valleys and on hills, where the Thirteenth infantry formerly camped. To the left Stands agrtind circus tept^ beneath which is arranged an immense restaurant and dining room. The smaller tents had plank floors, and straw for the sleepers thereon. But one essential thing to make the situation pleasant was wanting, and that was warm weather. Over those hills Yhere blew an icy blast that, chilled the marrow, and lifted the tents just high enough to make life, for the dwellers therein, a burden. I tried to imagine the Volunteers spread ont in those tents asleep in that chilling wind, but the draft on imagination was too great. They jsay the Southern Rifles all sleep spoon fashion in one tent. I saw Mum- ford at the hotel—everybody kno ws Mum- ford and his aldermauic proportions—and was at d loss, to understand why so much caloric was allowed to remain in town. It turned out th at the sway back man who was to be the spoon in front of Mumford had to remain at home, and as Mumford would not fit anybody else, but, on the contrary, broke the line’ aad allowed the air to cir culate too freeiy, they voted him an end position, which rather than accept, he re paired to the hotel. j AROUND THE HOTELS, . and coi^equently around tho depot, a tre- moudous crowd was assembled all day long. A fair sprinkling of uniforms be gan to be seen as train after train rolled in, but hot the grand military display an ticipated. A detachment of the “Old Guard” of New York, consisting of five members, was present, their showy uni forms making them conspicuous. A few Floyd Rifles, also were to be seen. The Southern Rifles of Talbotlon, the Mont gomery Grays, Esfaula Light Infantry, Mobile Rifles, Governor’s Guards, Colum- bia,South Carolina, Richland Light, Wash ington, (D. C.,) Light Infantry, Sherman Cadets, Lawrence, Massachusetts; Putnam Phalanx, Hartford; Scdgewick Guards, Hartford; Detroit Light Infantry; Nash ville Light Dragoons; Company B. from Chicago; (Jreenville Light Guards, Zanes ville; Wisconsin Guards; Governor’s Guards, Springfield, Illinois; Rockland. (III.,) Rifles, and Company II. Cin cinnati, were the companies wliieh to-day had arrived or were cu route. : Many of these companies were represented by detachments, and it is doubtful if the total number of uniformed visiting soldiers will exceed 500 men. The Phalanx of Hartford is made up of old men. Their nnifonn is of the old Con tinental pattern. Tho Sherman Cadets wore a blue uniform with sole leather leg. gings. i The Montgomery Guards present ed a fine appearance .and drill well. THE FAIR ITSELF Is very handsomely arranged under Moody & Sankey’s grand font, which has beei( erected in tlie rear of the Markham Its booths and stalls'lire' named after the various States, and beautilully decorated There is a.fine restaurant aud dancing platform attached, and everything is pre sided over by scores of pretty girls. The tent is to be lighted at night by the elec tric light, wires having been run from the apparatus at the factory. The effect of this powerful light shed from three sepa rate globes is said to be exquisite. What ever may be the result of all the wind and printer’s iuk expended on this fair, there is no doubt ot the fact that the Guard themselves have labored manfully. For two or'thrce days and nights they have been In uniform, receiving their guests and meeting the various trains. I. am very much afraid, however, that the mili tary is going to be dissatisfied. I think some of the Massachusetts party are tired rout already. One of them exclaimed this mornjng, “This may be ’the ‘Sunny feouth,’ but- nevertheless I wish I had a blanket” OTHER OBJECTS OF INTEREST. In the course of my wanderings I came before the Young Men’s Library building, now latking only a few finishing touches -.within. The. building is a magnificent one,three stories high,with a mixed Golh- ic and Elizabethan front. The lower floor wili be rented for stores.' The scc- ond contains a spacious ante-room or ves tibule, from which rise circling stairs to the story above. This room is finished off in walunt, the stair «ay offering a fine opportunity fbr’strikiug arrangements of design; This room opens into the libra ry, which extends back the entire length of tho , building, with no ceiling in the centre,-tlie space above extending up to the'-ceiling over tho third floor, but relieved by carved arches thrown across On tj^is second floor alcoves are arranged on botli sides, above the entrance to each ot which |s an arch containing in gilt let ters the name ot the division in literature jo“which it is devoted. At the end of this lia/his a dais on which the librarian’s desk willbe located., Tbe reading and chess Thera is some talk of bringing one of laugh too. He laughed only a little. The the Massachusetts companies to -Macon, j head slipped from his shoulder, and he Jf it is done, there will be a _spread_ in- wed . caught it by crooking bis elbow. The Hi S. E. cold sweat came back on his brow. She l was about to foil In his lap. I suggested | that he “hump” her a little. He humped l he j once, and the head went up and fell low er,' and she muttered something about “Charley.” Logan started like a u'man shot, and' then sat still in agony. It might. be louder next time. One of the girls behind her inquir- eff orher-coinpanlou: “Is that the gentle man’s wife?” Poor Logas-i Intense re lief flooded his face when the other re plied: “I think not.” And then I asked him,'“Wbat made you bring her along?” and they heard it and exchanged whispers. One said she was very young looking to be married. .All this time Logan held up that heaa withhis elbow, and I.do believe the head got to weighing one hundred and fifty ponnds. His shoulder was a way up' above the back of the pew, and he was positively tlie worst looking man in Atlanta. Fortunately at this moment a bang on the pulpit, as the minister described the death of a fatted veal, disturbed tbe sltimberer, and she straightened. She never got Logan again. He crowded me into nothingness when her head began to bob toward him, and after ineffectual efforts' to find a resting place, she straightened up again and fell over on .her mother like a 4*tarter of beef. When the benediction was pronounced, there was. a youth in'my neighborhood who .jammed his hat over his eyes anfi fought for the front door like a madman. iatisfieU with the former race, nearly'*all believing that Buckshot should have vfon easily.

The Brunswick Extension. The doubters are now beginning to ad- mit that tbe management of the Macon' and Bruuswlck road mean business. The surveying party are progressing finely, and are approaching Clinton. The camp is located about three miles 'This side of the town. The people along the line- are taking heart again, and really beUeve that they are to have a railroad,'notwithstand ing all the prophecies of evil which have hitherto attended their efforts.» We hope they will not be disappointed:; Tfie' peo ple of Jasper county are awaiting.-with patience the cominguf the railroad. This once accomplished, her rich, lands and fertile fields will command the attention of the outside world. Some of the finest plantations in middle Georgia are in Jas per county, and some of the cleverest people in the -world Uve within its bounds. “ ' Y? ' 1 I Tbe Wheat Market. For some unaccountable reason wheat and flour markets are both agitated. Flour is higher in Macon to-day than it has been for a long time, and ever^ indica tion points to an upward tendency. We saw a letter from-*- mill manTn - TenffiS^'eff'opser'eompSHfon see, who reports advances In prion and difficulties of transportation, so {.hat theatock will be greatly reduced, before' another, shipment can be made. It is with great difficulty that millers can get wheat, and the market is very uneasy. Mr. Keene may be trying to make another “corner,” but one would suppose that his past experience would teach him the dau- ger of such efforts. Let the ‘course be what it may, there certainly does not ex ist a single reason why there should b£ any advance in price, for the- receipts at the leading wheat markets are enormous. This excitement of the' market cannot last long. The Suspended Policemen Reinsta ted. Last evening the city council held a meeting to take action upon the suspeu-, sion of officers Ricks and Fennell from the force, for clubbing Toni Battle upon the previous evening. No written eharges against these officers having been brought, and thijre heiug no prosecutor present, a motion to reinstate was made and argued. Alderman Hendricks was in favor of keeping tbe case open ufitil it could be investigated. Alderman Dunlap 'upheld the police in their action, and was in fa vor of reinstating them at once." • Alder man Fitzgerald thought the clubbing ille gal, and was in favor of farther investiga tion of the affair. The motion to rein state was carried. . ; . Yesterday a Telegraph reporter call ed upon Mr. Tom Battle, at his home on Bridge Row, and was surprised to find him cheerful and able to talk freely, he having been represented as in a dying condition. His statement of the dubbing is as follows: He liad gone up town to get his horse, which bad been loaned, and having taken one drink, was returning, when he was thrown. Then the police got hold of him and tried to carry him to. the barracks. He resisted, and'in his struggles to get loose, tore Ricks’ pants. Tfiey then beat him to the ground With clubs and stood on his neck. The Irish element of tha neighborhood in which it occurred (near the foot of Mul berry) was very much excitei yesterday over the affair, and claimed that Battle could have been carried to the barracks without being clubbed. . The statement of Mr. Fennel is that the police had had trouble with Battle the greater part of tbe day, and that when he aud Ricks went on duty, Battle was drunk and began riding his horse up and down Mulberry like a racer, until he fell oft’. They picked him up and offered to carry him home, Imt he promised'to go ifthey would put him on the horse.Thisthey did, but he.continued his racing until they threatened to take him in charge, when he descended to whip out the forcte. They took hold of him aud put the nip pers on liis arm, and tried to carry him off, when the struggle began, In the course of which he kicked Ricks in amused as usual. Racing always attracts men. There is no trouble whatever in getting a crowd of them together, bnt what the club wishes, is to have the ladies lend their presence to the scene, and as sist them to lift “the turf ’ from the disre pute into which it has to some extent fal len. Tfiey wish to make racing in the South, what it is iu England, and with this view they begin by asking their lady friends to attend. The dub is compos ed of some of Macon’s first men, and they pledge themsel ves to cany out their prom ises. Aliy lady may eater the grounds free of charge, and enjoy the sport per fectly ' free from annoyance, other than that of seeing their favorites beaten, per haps. A large section of the grand stand has been devoted to ladies and their es corts, and the whole park, during the race week, will be in the hands of men who will enforce order regardless of race, col or, present or previous condition. A Griffin Xnu as a Pillow. “Man that is born of woman is of few days and full of .trouble.” Somehow that funeral sentence haunted lue Sunday night in Atlanta, throughout the whole of au exceedingly lODg and interesting ser mon, It does ‘ seem as though trouble should spare a conscientious mau, but it did not spare Logan (of Orillia) that night aud I presume it spares ho one. You see Logan and Ij feeling as though Sunday would not bb completefeven In At lanta | without a little church service, went around to one of the roost fashion able edifices in tho city and to the , inspir ing strains of a fine organ, were mareh«l up to a front seat, already crowded. We managed to squeeze in, however I had the end seat with Logan next .to me, and a fourteen-year-old, cliubby-faced girl next to Logan. Next to the girl sat a nice looking lady. The service be gan, and about ten minutes had passed when Logan stirred uneasily, and I no ticed a pallor overspread his face. I turned aud saw that the little girl’s head had sunk down on hi3 shoulder. At this-moment some girls in the seat behind us snickered, and thinking to make Logan feel at home I asked him if we were in his family pew. I thought he was going to pitch the girl on the floor, but he only set her up, hop ing she would 3tand or fall the other way. No use; she dropped back on him, and again that snicker. Logan cast an ap pealing glance upon the mother, but her stony gaze was riveted on the minister, who was drawing life-size pictures of the prodigal getting a free lnnch off of husks. No relief from that quarter. He then glanced hurriedly around, and found himself the centre of a dozen pair of eyes, all smiling. The poor fellow’s face was like fire, and he sat bolt upright stiff as a rod, and only added to the fun. As the preacher was saying something about tlie prodigal, I handed Logan my stick and suggested that he prod a gal. The people behind heaid this, and laughed again. Logan XBE OUT AltD THX BLUE. Kuna Extend* m Welcoming U»od to Hartford—Tbe Putnam Phalanx Invited to Attend n Oeergia Ban quet. la :ht* • i- i| Yesterday morning it was suggested that Macon invite to her table, the Put nam Phalanx cf Hartford,* Connecticut, or some representative Northern company to spend a day ip the city and banquet with us in the evening. , The suggestion was considered and the plans-proposed looked so feasible that a committee to raise thfe necesssaiy funds'was at : once or ganized. and started upon its labors, The committee consisted oi N. M. Solo mon, representing, thd di y goods division of the city: W. R. Cox, representing the grocery aud liquor branch; N. M. Hodg kins the Banks,and,H.S.jpdwards the press. There was no time to call a meet* ing of citizens; all that it was necessary to do must have been done in a few hours, and the committee went at once to ■work. A day’s entertainment, with a grand banquet at night, was determined upon, and the cost'figured.out at seven hundred dollrs, for no one-horse affair Would be considered. J . Tne plan, when laid before the business men, was in nearly every case enthusias tically received, ancUu.av.esy instauceibut two was met by ready financial assistance. In three hours and fifteen minutes,-the committee raised five hundred and thirty dollars, aud saw comparatively few of the business men of tha city. By refer ence tfithe be seen that there were many heavy sub scribers. It is doubtful if ever before in this city, a like sum was contributed in so short a space of time. To-day the committee will conclude its labors, and give every citizen a cbiuce to assist in the reception, for only tickets Will be issued to those who subscribe.' ‘ Authority to invite in the name of the business men of Macon,'-the Putnam Pha lanx theirgnests, and a detgfhment of the Old Guard of New York, was telegraphed Captain Carnes last evening, and low spe cial rates for the expected guests made with the Central road. If the invitatfou is accepted, ourguests, eighty in number, will arrive in Macon Fridav at seven a. in., and be quartered at the Brown House. After breakfast carriages will be :fur- nisbed the guests, and they will bi shown the city and suburbs. After dinner, it is expected that the Phalanx, Volunteers and Rifles will bave arshorP street parade This feature will be omitted or carried out at the pleasure of the guests. At 91 o’clock a champagne banquet Will be spread for the guests and their hosts in the dining hall of the Brown House, and Col. Thomas Hardeman and others will make addresses. On the following morn ing the guests will depart. Up to 12 o’clock last night nothing had been re ceived from the Phalanx. The following are the subscribers torhe funds: I. C.

HIXPXV vram. •conns of Fan at Ralston's Hall Inst Night. >3 i 'fri And that is not stating it strong enough either. Never did’a better pleased audi ence assemble in that theatre, and there were present many who bave grown old in being amused. We prophesied that this performance would be a success, and were not surprised to find the prophecy verified; for where tragedy and the opera goes by at times unappreciated, the good old-fashioned shows that produce fun never fail to draw crowds. There were men present last night who laughed fifty dollars’ worth of trouble out of their con. stituiion, and went home happy. If there is any one thing in which .the show may be open for criticism, it is tbe small amount of clothing some of the troupe are compelled to appear in. We see no use in stinting-an--octrees-in clothes, even though She be a fstry. Roto hit the nail square on the head, when he said tlie troupe had three downs and one pantaloons. Grimaldi, Dromioand Pedro, the three clowns, were immense. Their laughable fad*l expression and their thousand and one pranks and tricks kept the audience 'convulsed. The characters of Pantaloon, • Harlequin aud Cofombiue, were well sus tained, and met with good receptions Prof. Charles Omweg,tlie manseipent, in his curious contortions was certainly one of the best features of the evening. Some of his positions were simply indescribable. He got himself tied into hard knots, bow knots, running knots and slip knots, until- people were willirlf to believe that be was indeed boneless. “Tbe great Cool Bur gess” fully sustained his wide reputation last evening. His songs were good and imitations inimitable. In all he enter tained the audience a half hour with his specialties, which included tlie celebrated laughing song and a temperance lecture. The Mendozo brothers were also loudly applauded. Their -‘perch exercises” were beautiful, and the perfection of strength and skill displayed was very great. The Etzeltine sisters, in thfeir “rtnb exercise,” were graceful and pretty. They handled the heavy clubs tw though they were deliver addresses.
