Th« Augusta City Tax ou Cotton.
A letter in the Constitutiouilist of the 19th
complains loudly of the extraordinary meas
ure of the Augusta City Government of im
posing a tax of oue dollar per bale upon all
cotton coming into the city, as follows:
“ Mr. Editor .-—We see from a recent issue
of your paper that the City Council of Au
gusta ims imposed a tax of one dollar per
hale ou all cotton entering the city limits,
front \vhich it would appear that “King
Cotton” had at last actually become a nuis
ance, and in order to effectually drive it from
your market a heavy tax must he resorted to.
Well, if it is any satisfaction for your city
fatb rsto know tuat they have accomplished
their object, so lar as this section of country
is-comeraed we think they have unquestion
ably succeeded.
We have seat cotton to Augusta and Sa
vannah lor many years past, and the idea of
taxing cottfio on entering a city is something
new to us, but perhaps your citizens have be
come wise men by the experience of the past
four years, although we think they dont yet
know the Planter's of tnis section it they ex
pect t > collect a iy svfch revenue from them,
and we would here remind you that the ex
penses on cotton tr<>m Waynesboro to Sa
vannah, a dls ance of over one hundred miles
is not greater than to Augusta, although one
quarter the distance. Now what sensible
man can be expected to send his cotton to
Augusta, au interior town, aud pay one dol
lar per bale tax, not exicted elsewhere, in
addition to all other charges equal to any
city, New Yotk not exeep ed.
In tormer years your warehousemen charg
ed only twenty-five cents per bale for selling
cotton, but they were glad to get our busi
ness ; now the commis.-don is 2 1-4 per cent.,
aud we are expected to pay their taxes in ad
dition. Surely you caunot expect this to
fleece any Piauter who is able to avoid you.
• You may build and rebuild railroads in
every direction, but you must make it to our
Interest to patroeize you, else Planters' will
spurn your railroad facilities and seek other
cuusnels of trade.

M AN«tioual Dank of the Right Stamp."
A writer in the Augusta Constiiuticnalisl
proposes a somewhat original plan for reliev
ing the present and prospective currency
difficulties of the Southern States. As there
are aow no banks in operation to issue paper
representing a metallic currency, the impor
tant question if, bow shall such currency be
supplied ? Tbe writer answers :
1 “By a national or United States bank, with
a capital of one hundred millions, thirty or
forty millions of which should be located in
the several Southern States. Subscriptions
should be limited to one or three shares of
one hundred dollars to each person, as an
inducement to a general subsc iptiou of the
people throughout the United States, and re
serving a certain amount for five years to the
citizens ot the Southern States, giving them
time to recuperate and be enabled to sub
scribe to tbe bank stock. After that time
tbe subscription might by filled by any per
sons desiring to do so. The United States
government, should own one-fifth of the
stock, aad appolut five directors to the moth
er bank, and two or three to its branches.—
We used,a national bank of the right stamp.”
As Incident not on the Bills.— At the
Hooley minstrel concert at Griswold Hall
last evening, the large audience present had
a bit of sensational entertainment that was
not down in the bills. A fancy dance was
in progte^—F- Abbott, in female character,
gomg through all the movements of the bal
let, When alt at once the danseuse was lost
to view. She (or he) had not gone off by
the wings, but the stage was certainly va
cant. Those who bad quick eyes realized
that the fascinating contraband charmer bad
accidentally stepped on the trap door, and
descended through the opening down which
Maib th’s cauldron, the Colleeu Bawu, Corsi
can brothers, the ghost in Hamlet and other
dramatic institutions have been made to dis
fippe.tr. What must have been bis feelings
at finding himself apparently landed in tne
lower regions. Fortunately, Mr. Abbott was
only bruised a trifle by his sudden descent.
The trap closed so quickly behiud him that
many of the auuience thought it was part of
the performance. It seems that during the
day. Manager Van Aruam had walked over
the identical spot many times, and the door
bore hi# weigi*; but tuere is
between “Herr" V.’s gossamer tPead, and

How a Woman writes about Men and
, Women. —M. C. A., the New York corres
pondent of the Springfield Republican, talks
thus plainly in one of her last letters:
What do you think that I read in a news
paper not long ago, Republican ? Speaking
of George William Curtis reminds me to tell
you. There was a quotation from a Repub
lican letter speaking of Curtis, crowned by
an editorial notice that “M. C. A. was evi
dently in love with Curtis, or she never could
have written on him like that!” Ob, yon
stupid! When a woman is in love with a
man, does she proclaim it on the house-tops
and publish it in the newspapers? It strikes
me that you kuow precious little about wo
men, or you would know that the man that
they love the most is the one that they talk
the least about. Love ia proud and shy, and
waits for one to listen. Admiration is gener
ous and general, and enjoys a large congre
gation. Now it is utterly impossible for me
to admire men generally, because, as a sex,
they fall so far below*the highest standard ot
mauhood that I hold larger admiration ia re
serve to bestow upon men in particular.
I know gitted men as conceited as popin
jays ; handsome men who are as vain as pea
cocks, thriving on the delusion that every
woman who smiles on them is in love with
them; strong men who are never tender;
manly men who are tyrannical In all that
makes life lovely; good men who ignore the
religion of fine manners, the gentle courtesy
which is charity. When I behold a harmo
nious naan I cry Eureka! where all may hear.
Holding my admiratiou at a wise distance, it
discovers no flaws, strikes no angles. When
every other school girl that I knew adored
Curtis as a literary Adonis, he seems to me
affected and supercilious as Adonises usually
are. Now deep life-lines have worn from his
face some of the early curves which took
school girls captive. He has grown to
thoughtful, serious, earnest manhood, with
out losing the rare charm of manner, and the
exquisite perception of the beautiful which
made the grace and glory of his youth, I
supposed it to be an eminently proper period
to praise him as the most harmonious of all
our literary men, a man 'Bathetic, tender,
strong and true; when 10, in spite of the cot
tage on Staten Island, the wite with the face
at rest, the goat-drawn chariot with load of
bright babies, I read to my infinite amuse
ment in a newspaper that I am “in love"
with this gentleman.
What quality is it in society that makes it
necessary for a man to spice his praise of a
charming woman whom he truly respects
with some disparaging comment, lest peo
ple shall accuse him o? being “smitten," and
which makes it impossible that any woman
under forty should utter hearty praise of a
man worthy of admiration, without incurr
ing the suspicion of being “in love ?” What
ever the quality, it is mean aud despicable.
If there can be no sincere admiration, no
true reverence and friendship between men
and women, that does not generate into
shilly-shally sentiment and idle love-ma
king, the Lord pity the world ! But there
can be, and is. In the course of my life I
have found so few men that I cared to
praise, that I never neglect an opportuuity
when I can. It makes no manner of differ
ence to me wuo says I am “in love,” while
I know that lam not. I dare say that Mr.
Cur.is can be disagreeable enough ; most
people can when they try. But while I
remember his “American Flag,” and find re
pose and inspiration each month in the pa
thos, poetry and patriotism, the music and
the beauty whidh envelopes his Easy Chair,
I shall praise him to my small congregation
from sheer gratitude.
Escape From an Iceberg.— The Scotia,
which sailed from New York May 17, met
with a narrow escape which is thus described
by a passenger, in a letter to the Boston Sat
urday Gazette:
On the Sunday after leaving port, at 10
o’clock, a. m., saw a large iceberg on our lee
bow, about half a mile distant, but quite
near enough to satisfy the many who had ex- 1
pressed great desire to see oue of the wonders 1
of the Arctic regions, the terror of the sea to
all sailors; but how little did they think
what imminent danger was approaching us
from this source X>f their great curiosity.
Soon after If o’clock, a. m., the fog so thick
as to cut off all sight beyond the ship's length,
the sailor on lookout gave sudden alarm of a
large iceberg “dead ahead” aud almost un
der the bows of the ship.
The signal whistle of danger was sounded
instantly, while the first officer, who was on
deck, cried in a voice of thunder, “hard-a
port, jhard-a-port your helm," but another
officer, in the confusion of the moment, who
probably took another view of our danger,
sung out, “starboard, bard to starboard."
Meanwhile the captain was signalling to the
engineer to “stop her," “back,” and other
impatient orders, which were skillfully and
rapidly obeyed, before even the passengers,
were aware of it. so completely checking our
speed that the striking of the ship against
the mountain of solid ice scarcely scarred
the black paint on the ship's port bow, and
surging round alongside the ponderous and
gigantic mass, it came quite near enough to
the quarter deck to satisfy every beholder,
for it could be touched with a common boat's
oar. As we opened the distance, and the
danger passed, there was never before seen
such a ship load of thankful, grateful souls,
as rendered up their praise to Him who had
vouchsafed them their great deliverance.
When the iceberg was first discovered we
were on deck and quite near the forward
smoke-stack, and as we were looking for
ward, saw the approaching danger quite as
soon as the sailors on tire “lookout." The
sight was such as to fill our hearts with fear,'
aucl the horror with which we instantly real
ized our awful situation can neither be imag
ined or described. Our complete destruction
seemed inevitable. So near were we to tbe
iceberg that it appeared the ship would strike
it and sink before the passengers could run
aft, which they ail commenced to do, being
as anxious to get as far from the concussion
as possible. Not one on board who saw the
danger but fully concluded ws were lost.—
Tbe day closed without turthejnnterest, save
the sight of still another immense iceberg
about six miles distant, sufficiently near to
keep everybody on board awake through an
extremely rough and stormy night.
Central Railroad.— The Maeon Telegraph
learns from the President of this road, that
tbe work of reconstruction is being pushed
forward rapidly. The Company have iron
sufficient along the line to complete the track
from Savannah to No. 4G, and enough at
their command to finish the entire road. By
the first of October tfie road will be in run
niug order from Savannah to Apgusta, and
by the first of January the whole work wifi
be completed.
The Napoleonic Quarrel —Appocntmeht
of a successor to Prince Napolkon. —The
Paris correspondent of the Nonl says: “The
choice of Prince Lucien Bonaparte as presi
dent of the commission of the Universal Ex
hibition is confirmed. Prince Lucien bears
the title of Imperial Highness as son of Lu
cien BoD«parte and nephew of Napoleon I.
He is fifty-two years of age, a senator, and
grand cross of the Legion of Honor; often re
sides in London, and enjoys much consider
ation there.”
The Paris correspondent of the Daily Npws,
writing June 21st, says “Prince Napoleon,
having sufficiently recovered from his acci
dent to leave Meudon for the Palais Royal,
has had an interview with the Emperor. It
was a very short one, and, although chroni
clers say the Prince looked pleased when he
came out from the presence, there is nothing
like a reconciliation, and there is no chance
ot his resuming the functions which he has
resigned. He will very soon go to his Swiss
estate at Prangins, and it is said that he con
templates a reduction in his household. The
offices of first chamberlain to the Prince,
held by Count de Rayneval, and of first lady
of honor to the Princess Clothilde, the titu
lar of which is the Duchess d'Abrantes, are
likely to be suppressed. f,
“A pamphlet, entitled ‘Forty Days of Re-,
genev,’ will appear to-morrow, and is likely
to make some noise. Its object is to glori
fy Prince Napoleon and establish a solidari
ty between him and the Duke de Persigny,
both of whom it represents as the firmest and
best friends of the Emperor and his dynasty,
but now under a cloud, owing to the in
trigues of hollow men in power. This pam
phlet makes bold to affirm, that the Emper
or’s severe letter to his cousin was pot in
reality written to him, but to the public—in
fact lor “Buncombe.”'
The Police and B#ool-Pigeon Systems.—
The present condition of the city, so far as
the criminal statistics are concerned, would
incline us to ask whether we have fallen back
upon the days of “One-Eyed Thompson,”
the prince of stool-pigeons, who, when he
was detected in his collusion with other less
notorious criminals, put himself out of the
hands of avenging justice by committing sui
cide. We have kuown for thirty years past
that a regular system was in practice by
which the police aud the leading burglars
were in league, and we have before now ex
posed it. The stool-pigeon plan worked
profitably for the police and their confeder
ates, although thousands of unfortunate
thieves and burglars of minor repute or un
tractable natures were made flie victims, and
served by martyrdom in the State Prison to
give eclat to the apparent vigilance of the
police. It was quite common for the po
lice to • form a connection with the most
prominent burglar?, who would employ
others more inexperienced to break into and
rob houses. The leading conspirators would
then inform the police where the property
was deposited. It would be seized of course;
the police would get the credit of great ac
tivity, and a pretty good share of the stolen
property, too; and in an occasional instance
spme unsophisticated victim, would be ar
nested and sent to the State prison, while the
police and the chief conspirators would share
the spoils. Fortunes have been made before
now by this system. Judging from the nu
merous burglaries, highway robberies, &c.,
which have been committed in this city tor
some time past by persons “well known to
the police,” it would seem that the days of
“One-Eyed Thompson” are come again.— N.

Mh. Seward’s Health Entirely Restored.
The Secretary of State continues his duties
in almost perfect health. The novel and ex
traordinary splint was removed from his face
by order of his surgeons and proves to have
been a marvelous success, and very few
traces are to be seen of the original accideut
and the subsequent assault of the baffled as
sassin, with the exception of a slight swel
ling on the side of his right cheek. Mr.
Seward’s friends and the country will be glad
to learn that he has entirely recovered the
use of his aims, one of which Was fearfully

“The Criminal Era.” —Some of the news
papers are industriously collecting and print
ing all the criminal news from all parts of the
country, and are attempting to make & greaj,
panic and sensa'tion about the prodigious
growth of crime. They get the largest sto
ries, the wildest rumors, the most bwrid de
tails, and really succeed, we suppose, in
making some people believe that we have
now fallen upon what they call the “criminal
era." But neither the records of this city,
.nor, so far as we can judge, any other large
city, give countenance to the idea that there
is any extraordinary prevalence of crime at
this time. Our court and police reports do
not by any means show it. The tact is that
during the progress of tbe war, with its great
battles and tremendous issues, the newspa
pers had no room for long and harrowing de
tails of every case of violence, and a murder
was then recorded in ten lines, is now
made tocover sensational columns.

The Result Acknowledged. -»Those who
read the address or Governor Brown to the
people ot Georgia, cannot fail to be impress
ed with the fact that he accepts the verdict
of the appeal to arms, in its full sense—to the
extent not only that Georgtn must again
unite with the States of the Union, but that
slaveiy, tbe leal bone of contention in the
late sanguinary struggle, is obliterated, the
social condition ot the South entirely changed,
and anew system of labor must be at once
organized to restore to the agricultural inter
est of the State its full and necessary impor
tance. ■ • ' ■
We think that at the time Qqyerpor grown

Cormick, residing on Montgomery, west
side, second door south qf Liberty street,
while at a front window of the third story,
opening the blinds, lost his balance and fell
from the window to the pavement beneath.
The injuries sustained were very slight, be
ing chiefly contusions on the head and face.
The iojured man was immediately picked up
and the services of Dr. Wm. G. Bulloch se
cured. This morning Mr. McCormick was
considered out of danger.
The Sale of thb' Amazon.— The well
known, iron-hull, light-draught river steam
er Amazon was sold at auction this morning
at 12 o’clock, by Isaac D. Laßoche, Thomas

bids made, of $25,000, $25,100 and $25,200,
at wl ich figure the steamer was bought by
J. W. McAlpin for a company. The Amazon
will continue her trips to Augusta without
interruption, and will probably leave to-mor
row, as her freight is already engaged.

Abraham Lincoln a Representative Sian.
Frazer’s Magazine, for June, says :
“It is not wonderful #at Abraham Lin
coln should have been almost idolized by
European peoples. For a long time Europe
had been receiving from America only wbat
she had given, and without much usury.—
American literature was a thin travesty of
her own ; and statesmanship at WasliingtQn
did but repeat the worn-out diplomatic tricks
of European Courts. The old world seemed
about to have a poor double iu the new ; and
the Goethe had a right to sav to the youth
who talked of emigration, ‘Your America is
here or nowhere.’ But there came tidings of
a man who had never gone over in any ship.
Anew nation was to be founded, and for
that work had emerged a Romulus, who had
been nursed by the genuine American she
wolf. He had hewn his path to wisdom
with an ax. He had acquired intellectual
sinew by splitting rails. He had found the
golden fleece of thought and character, by
sailing the Mississippi on a raft. In him
many wild half- savage traits ascended to
their transfiguration, and old dreams and
prophesies ol anew race were stirred to build
their tabernacles. He was not the duplicate
of any Old or*New Englander : there was a
prairie breadth to his speech, and his princi
ples were related to the Rocky Mountains.
What if the first reptile is neither so swift
nor so graceful as the latent fish ; it is a
higher type. I dfnot wonder, then, that
democracy gained a credit mark with Europe
for putting forward, in its great emergency,
so distinctive a man as its representative.—
The accuracy of his judgment has been*
proved by the almost purely personal nature
of the shock caused by the President’s death
in America. No one seemed to apprehend
any serious complication of events; stocks
were almost unaffected; the subscriptions to
the Seven-thirty Loan were $77,950 more on
April 15 than on the day before. Gold, the
pulse of commerce, remained steady; the
people were prostrated by grief and stirred
with personal indignation. v The chapters of
the life so cruelly closed were the chapters
of American History and destiny.
emergence from the lowly lot of a poor white
in the South, who never in any one year had
£100; the North-western emigration; the
path cut through the forest for the wagon •
the coveted book earned by three days of
manual toil; the splitting of rails hereafter
to be torn from old fences and borne iu civic
processions; the voyaging of the Ohio and
Mississippi on a ftgt-hoat; captainship in the
Indian wars; the lawyer making his services
valuable at the bar; the backwoods legisla
