1859, and made his first campaign as

Iris generally asserted aud believ-

ion will witness within the next three
or four years q return to the old style
of knee breeches and long stockings,
for adult males. We refer to this
matter little in advance of time in
order that those of our readers who
are not peculiarly gifted in their
lower joints, or who are "fearfully
and wonderfully made" may have
time to prepare for the impending
crisis, or, if possible, build up their

What is Macon doing to keep

nothing. Unless our people bestir
themselves Macon will,in few years,

We regret to learn that there is a
lack of enterprise among our friends

feel compelled to accept the situation
as pictured by the Sun, and reluc-
family consent to the "bats and owls"

IT is reported that Bismark con-
templates remodeling of the entire
Constitution of the German Empire.
The fact that the Emperor never
granted Constitution to his people
has been a terrible thorn in the side
of the naughty and domineering pre-
mier for years, and he is not likely to
allow any opportunity to escape that
will enable him to contract the pow
ers held by the assembly that aims to
be parliament, but that he seeks to
reduce to the ignoble role of merely
registering the will of the sovereign
or the whims of the ministry.

WE learn from the Gulf Coast Ad.

WE learn from the Gulf Coast Adj
vertiser that Capt. Poitevent has COM
menced the building of steamer for
the Pearl river trade that will have
freight capacity for the storage and
transportation of twelve hundred bales
of cotton. Now if Pearl river receives
the attention it merits in future River
and Harbor bills, this steamer and
those already there and the others
that will be temped to embark in the
trade, will build up such competi-
tion for freights between the river
and the rail roads as will enable
Jackson to ship her cotton to port at
the lowest figures compatible with
paying running expenses and decent
profit.
The improvement of our rivers and
harbors and coasts is regarded by the
Examiner as paramount to all other
State interests at present, and if the
dintinguishdd editor of the Clarion,
who is a member of the 4Sth Congress,
shall succeed during his present Or
future terms in materially advancing
these good works, he will be remem-
bered with gratitude long after the
matter of estate Supervision of Rail
Roads" has been relegated to the
museum of antique heresies, and the
transfer of the iron workers to the
virgin mines Of the South and West,
and the cotton mills to the vicinity
of the cotton fields, have thrown the
advocates of protective tariff out
of court by giving us the control of
the markets of this country and the
Eastern world.

IT is likely that the majority of
the iron mills in Pennsylvania and
the West will suspend business this
month and many of them will perhaps
never again resume work. The
market is overstocked with iron at
present prices, but in the regions of
virgin ore and coal mines, work can
be continued and iron sold at profit,
even at thirty per cent. reduction
below present rates. So the stock
on hand will continue to grow, and
the suspended mills are likely in
many instances to remain silent for
years if not forever. Their owners
tried to negotiate with the operatives
for reduction in wages that would
enable them to compete with new
but failed.

"What splendid show of toys and dolls you haye," is the remark that has been made, we might almost say by hundreds of the vis- itors to our Toy Bazaar in the basement. In former years we could never do justice to this very interesting and very popular class of holiday goods, simply because we could not spare the room This year by dint of great exertions we have managed to clear a part of our basement and make a salesroom large enough to display quite an ex- tensive stock to advantage. We &C., knowledge gratefully the very large amount of patronage we have received and the numerous spontaneously offered congratula- tions on the success of the enterprise. We don't expecs it to pay 8 large profit, for we are selling the goods cheap, but we like to see so many of our friends pleased and their wants supplied in our store, and we believe it will pay in the end. The toys are all new and we think well selected. We know they arc cheap. Come and see them and bring the children. There is plenty of room, light and air. You may enter either from the store or the street; we think it is most con ducive to the comfort of customers to come in from the street and leave by passing through OUT main store. We would respect fully suggest that intending purchasers should try to come early in the day. as the Bazaar has been very much crowded every afternoon and evening.
