AIGISTA ITEMS.
From the Augusta Constitutionalist ot the
irati and 16th, we take the following:
Outrages.— The following outrages oc
curred in Augusta Monday night:
George Deas, of this county, w as kuocked
down and brutally beaten over the bead, in
the vicinity of the factory, from the eflect ot
which we understand he (lied yesterday. The
deceased w T as a cripple, having lost a leg
trom a railroad accident during the war.
Win. Phillips was knocked down, severely
beaten and rescued by a tew colored men
who happened in the neighborhood, belore
the assailants, who were white men. could
rifle his pockets.
A party going home in a buggy was ac
costed on Green street by three white men,
who attempted to pull him out of the vehicle,
but he fortunately succeeded in making good
his escape after a short struggle in which he
gave at least one ol the party a lew hard
knocks on the head.
Another citizen was attacked by three
white men on Kollock street, I vet w ecu Ellis
and Broad street, but not being of a pugilis
tic disposition, and being fortunately swift >1
foot, he succeeded in retreating in good or
der.
Dr. VV. S. Jones, while visiting a patient
on the Sand Hills yesterday, tied bis horse
and buggy on the road, in tront of the house.
During his visit two men jumped into the
buggy and drove off Up to last night the
thieves had not been airested.
There is, we understand, considerable il
licit traffic going on in certain portions of
our city in the way of stolen cottnu, dorues
ties anil government goods. The military
authority, with commendable zeal, are work
ing to break up this trade, and bring
the guilty parties to justice.
On Saturday morning, a white man repre
senting himself as coming direct from Sa
vannah, offered him some goods for sale.
Our friend, not suspecting any rascality on
the part of the seller, and thinking he had a
perfect right to purchase from a white man,
closed the trade, and paid the lull maiket
price for the goods. Yesterday a guard en
tered the place of business of our ttiend,
seized the goods, arrested the purchaser and
placed him in juil, who, for the first time in
his life, found himself arraigned before a
military or civil tribunal.
Appropriation to the Poor. —We learn
that Major General Steedman has appointed
the following gentlemen a committee to dis
burse to the poor of Augusta the appropria
tion of $11,000; Messrs. John Davison, S.
B. Robbins and A. Paullaine.
Cask of Sun Stroke. —We regret to learn
that E. E. Schofield, Esq., was sun struck on
the wharf yesterday morning about 11 o'clock
from the effects of which he suffered severely
for a time, but towards evening he was in a
fair way, and considered out ot danger
Charleston Items.
We take the following paragraphs trom
the Charleston Courier of Thursday:
Military. —We learn that in accordance
with the late military changes ordered by
the War Department, Major General Hatch
will be relieved of the command of this Dis
trict and will be succeeded by Brevet Major
General A. Ames.
Direct Communication North. —We take great
pleasure in announcing the prospect of a
speedy re-opening of direct railroad commu
nication with the North by the North-eastern
and Wilmington and Manchester Railroads.
The latter is now finished and the schedules
of the roads arranged to make the former
connections on Friday next. By the present
route travelers go from Florence to Wilming
ton, thence, via Goldsboro' and Raleigh, to
Petersburg, Richmond and Washington.—
The old and much shorter route via Weldon
will also soon be finished.
of Government Stock at Augusta.
The Constitutionalist oi Tuesday says, the
sale of Government stock which commenced
in that city on Tuesday morning last attracted
one of the largest assemblages of people that
had been collected there for years. The
editor says :
The planters and farmers from this and
other counties were present, all expecting to
procure cheap stock. Thu Freedmen were,
however, the heaviest, aud iu many cases the
strongest, representatives of any class in at -
tendance. We were somewhat puzzled at
first how to account tor the hundreds of this
class wending their way iu droves up Broad
street, long before the hour ot sale; but a
friend explained it to us in this way; Reports
were in circulation throughout the neighbor
ing plantations that the government stock
would he sold to tiie Freedmen on a credit
of five and ten years; and they accordingly
flocked here, each expecting to ride home a
horse or mule ; but in this they were sadly
disappointed, for cash down was the motto
and the rule strictly adhered to by our friend
Col. Walker, the Auctioneer.
The number of persons present was esti
mated at from four to five thousand. So great
was the crowd and the pressure, that it was
almost impossible to get within one hundred
yards of the Auctioneer's stand at 10 o'clock,
the hour at which the sale commenced.
The bidding was spirited and the prices
realized by the Government for the stock un
usually high. Some idea of the h igh prices
can be formed trom tiie following : Six mule
teams, wagon and harness, complete, sold
from $660 to $1,240, and single horses and
mules from S3O to $l6O each. These figures
are very high when it is considered that some
were inferior and broken down stock. But
horses and mules are scarce and the planter
and farmer must have them even at any
price.
The sale was continued on the following
day. The freedmen having ascertained that
the stock was only to be sold for cash, retir
ed to their homes, yielding the sale grounds
to the whites of whom 1,500 to 2,000 were
present. As on the first day of the sale, the
bidding was lively and the prices realized for
horses, mules and wagons were high, vie:
Mules, SBO to $115; three hundred wagons,
sls to sllO each ; four mule teams, $360 to
S7OO each ; saddles, $2 76 to $8 75.
Diamonds have beeu found in Manchester
opposite Richmond Virginia. They are said
to pe not of a first rate quality. The most
