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 *Pt WW fes P o B. SAID. FRONTING ON THE PARK.
