AUGUSTA, Q-A.,‘
THURSDAY MOIIN’G, DEC. 20, 18G0.
Messrs. Boggs & Parker, at the solicitation of
•uiany citizens are induced to announce one more
sale so take place this evening of that large and
elegant stock of Silver Plated Ware, Watches and
fine Jewelry now in their store. This is a fair
opportunity, and we would advise our readers to
avail themselvss of it, to purchase beautiful gifts
for Christmas.
CONCERT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE POOR. — Wo
are glad to learn that the Augusta Choral Society,
at their rehearsal on Tuesday evening, decided to
give a Concert on New Year’s night for the bene
fit of poor children living in the suburbs of the
town, fte object is most praiseworthy, and
from the known energy as w'ell as musical talent
of the members, we predict for the Concej-t a
(parked success. We shall probably be able
shortly to announce the programme.
We are under obligations to the Managers of
the Suuday School, connected with the Asbury
M. E. Church, for an invitation to attend their
celebration on Christmas day.

The Hamburg Difficulty. —Mr. Shaw, the man
who was shot in Hamburg on Tuesday, was still
alive at 5 o’clock lust evening—although very
low, and beyond hope of recovery.
James Reynolds, one of the principal actors in
the affray, we learn, received a blow upon the
head from a bludgeon in the hands of Samuels,
which fractured the skull; and it w#s thought by
the physician who was called to attend him yes
terday, that he could not live.
Death of Hon. Chas. J. McDonald. —This mel
ancholy event took place at Marietta, Ga., on
Sunday last. Gov. McDonald has served the
people of Georgia in many high aud responsible
positions, and his death will ‘.be mourned by a
large circle of friends and political associates.
Col. AVllliam’Henry AValitor.
We are reliably informed that this gallant and
distinguished officer has resigned his commission
in the army of the United States. He is a native
of the State of Georgia, and we have reason to be
proud of the, high and honorable position which
he has acquired. Georgia has manifested her ap
preciation of his services in the field, by present
ing him with a sword, an unusual mark of favor
by the Legislature.
In the existing condition of political affairs, he
has been prompted to take this step by motives,
which must appeal strongly to the heart of every
Georgian. Feeling that his first and highest alle
giance was due to his native State, he has relieved
himself from the embarrassments of a federal
office and resumed his rights and duties aS'a pri
vate citizen.
Georgia, we are sure, will not willingly permit
one, so capable of public service in this emergen
cy, to repose upon his well-earned laurels, and
retire to the obscurity of a mere private citizen.
She knows his ability, and the highest regard for
her best interest forbids such retirement. We
kuow from the history of the country, in which
he has performed no inconspicuous part, that his
sense of fealty to the State w ill force from him a
prompt and efficient resumption of his sword in
her service, whenever her voice may call, and
wherever the death-dealing balls of her enemies
fall thickest. His past life assures us that in the
hour of Georgia s peril, he
Will victor exult, or in death he laid low,
With liis hack to the field and his face to the toe ;
And leaving in battle no blot on his name
Look proudly to heaven from the death bed of fame.
The Crayon. —Our readers are referred to the
advertisement of that excellent Art Magazine—the
Oiayon —in another column. Being mainly de
voted to the development and elevation of Am
erican Art, to the encouragement and guidance
of Artists, to creating a love for the pure and the
beautiful, to honest, manly criticism upon Artists
and their Works, and to that line of policy which
looks to the highest interests and rewards for
genuine talent in Art-labors —it has the strongest
claims upon the patronage of an intelligent Amer
ican public. Many articles of value aud interest
have appeared in its pages the past year —trans-
lations, reviews, correspondence, sketches,
Ac., &c. The circle of cultivated readers to which
it particularly addresses itself, is, we are happy
to know, rapidly widening and augmenting; and
we shall expect it to receive such liberal support
in the future as to establish its permanence and
usefulness beyond peradventure.
Hon. L. M. lleitt, member of Congress from the
third district of South Carolina, Ims resigned his
seat.
The Army Bill op South Carolina. —The ap
propriations, for the defence of the State, made
by the South Carolina Legislature, amounts to
over #2,500,000. The various items are as fol
lows :
General officers $5,5G8
Field and other officers lo: ten regiments 100,228
Horses for all the above 4,128
10,000 privates, pay, rations, aad clothing. 2,480,000
Musicians 97,200 1
Cavalry horses 288,000
Artillery horses 19,280
Total $2,657,324
This does not include the cost of guns, pistols,
swords, caunon, powder, and other essential re
quisites for a military establishment.
Great excitement, was occasioned at Boston on
{Sunday, by the delivery of a lecture on “Mobs
and Education,” by Wendell Phillips. He was
frequently hissed during the delivery of the lec
ture, aud at the close the mob made a rush on
him. He was protected by the police and escort
ed home. The military were under arms, but
their services were not required.
More Arms for the State. —The steamship
Alabama, which arrived hfere yesterday, brought
250 boxes of muskets and 80,000 ball cartridges,
for the State of Georgia. As each box contains
20 muskets, there are 5,000 in all. They were
taken iu charge by the Military Store Keeper, and
deposited in the armory to await the orders of the
Governor.
We had no opportunity of examining this con
signment of arms, but from indications on the
ontside of the boxes, we are inclined to suspect
that the Governor, like his Alabama contempora
ry has stumbled on a George Law speculation.
The date of their manufacture ranges from 1825
to 1839, from which we infer that they hardly boast
oftfnany of the “modern improvements.”—£ar/f.
Rep., 19<A.
From the Southern Recorder.
I would respectfully suggest the name of Judge
Charles J. Jenkins as a suitable candidate for the
suffrages of the people of Baldwin county for
the approaching State Convention. I have not
seen Mr. Jenkins’s name mentioned by the citizens
of his own county. The salvation of our country
and perhapg of other nations may hang on the re
sults of this Convention. We have no lack of
suitable men in our own county, but w r e wouMr
honor ourselves by selecting as one of our dele
gates, the author of the Georgia Platform , whose
calmness and wisdom willl be needed in the Con
vention.
A Baldwin Voter.
Quitman County. —At a meeting of the citizens
of Quitman county, the following was adopted :
That we deprecate every movement which has
for its object immediate separate State seccession
as a mode of resistance, as hasty, uncalled for,
and full of mischief to the people of such State. ■
That the time has come when the vexed ques
tion of slavery mnßt be settled, together with our
rights therein involved, upon a firm, unequivocal
and lasting basis.
Matters in Baltimore.—Baltimore, Dec. 17.
Messrs. Kirkland, Chace A Cos., among the largest
Shippers here, suspended to-day. Their liabilities
are supposed to reach nearly a million of dollars.
A decline in Coffee, Sugar and Molasses, was the
cause. „ , .
The chief business men of Baltimore are now
petitioning the Governor to call an extra session
of the Maryland Legislature to consider what is
bast to be done in the present crisis.— Chas. Cour.
England Proposes to take Care of Captured
Africans. —The State Department has received
a proposition from the English Government, of
fering in future to take all the negroes captured
by the United States on board slavers for ap
prentices in the British Colonies. Congress wffi
call for information on the subject.— Ch. Courier .
Bonton Edition of Bacon’s Works.
The Works of Francis Bacon, Baron of Verulam,
iscount of St. Albans, and Lord High Chan
cellor c£ England. Collected and Edited by
James Spedding, M. A. of Trinity College, Cam
bridge; Robert Leslie Ellis, M. A., late Fellow
of Trinity College, Cambridge; and Douglas
Denon Heath, Barrister at Law, late Fellow of
Trinity College, Cambridge. Boston : Brown
& Taggard. 1800.
We have received from the Publishers the two
volumes issued of their superb edition of the
works of Francis Bacon. These are the first and
second volumes of the “ Literary and Professional
Works,” but Vols. XI. and XII. of the series,
which will be completed in fifteen volumes. The
eleventh volume contains the “ History of the
Reign of King Henry VII.” with an Appendix ;
“ The Beginning of the History of the Reign of
Henry VII.;” “The Beginning of the History of
Great Britain and “On the Fortunate Memory
of Elizabeth, Queen of England,” in Latin and
English. The twelfth volume embraces the three
following in Latin with English translations: “Me
morial of Henry, Prince of Wales,” “ Character of
Julius Caesar,” “ Character of Augustus Caesar
besides “Additions and Corrections inserted by
Bacon in a Manuscript Copy of Camden’s Annals,”
and the celebrated “ Essays, or Counsels Civil and
Moral.”
Macaulay says of fihese Essays: “ They have
moved the intellects which moved the world. It
is in the Essays alone that the mind of Bacon is
brought into immediate contact with the minds of
ordinary readers. There, he opens an exoteric
school,Jand he talks to plain men in language
which everybody understands, about things in
which everybody is interested. He has thus ena
bled those who must have taken his merits on
trust to judge for themselves; and the great body
of readers have, during several generations, ac
knowledged that the man who has treated with
such consummate ability questions with which
they are familiar, may well be supposed to de
serve all the praise bestowed on him by those
who have sat in his inner school.” Os the great
work, Novum Orgarvum, hereafter to appear, the
same high authority says: “In our judgment,
Bacon’s greatest performance is the first book of
iife Npmrn Organvm. All the peculiarities of his
‘extyiiwMinary mind are found there in the highest
perfection. Man}’ of the aphorisms show a nicety
of observation that has never been surpassed.
Every part of the book blazes with wit, but with
wit which is only employed to illustrate and deco
rate truth. No book ever made so great a revolu
tion in the mode of thinking, overthrew so many
prejudices, introduced so many new opinions. * *
But what we most admire is the vast capacity of
that intellect which, without effort, takes in at
once all the domains of science—all the past, the
present, and the future, all the errors of two thou
sand yeais, all the encouraging signs ot the pass
ing tunes, all the bright hopes of the coming age.”
It is hardiy necessary, however, to multiply
quotations in praise of such a man as Bacon— a
man whose reputation is brilliant and enduring
and who, despite his faults, occupies, and will con
tinue to occupy, a high and honorable position
amid the world’s great men. It was truthfully
said of him : “ From the day of his death his fame
has been constantly and steadily progressive ; and
we have no doubt that his name will be named
with reverence to the latest ages, and to the re
motest ends of the civilized world.”
In common with many thousands of our coun
trymen, we thank Messrs. ’Brown & Taggard for
this magnificent edition. Aud we are pleased to
learn, that this great enterprise of issuing in this
country Spedding’s edition, (unquestionably the
best of the numerous editions which have ap
peared in England,) in this beautiful dress, with
all the adornments of elegant paper and typo
graphy, is meeting the heartiest welcome from
scholars, professionals, and literary men, all over
the country. In cur own Southern land, its mer
its are beginning t- be knor . and acknowledged.
The Publishers inform us that a number of sets of
the work have been subscribed for at Charleston,
at Norfolk, Va., and other Southern cities. We
are glad to chionicle these facts; and our pleasure
will be still further enhanced by the knowledge
that our own citizens—people of taste and cul
ture as we know them to be—have subscribed lib
erally.

Gen. Scott on Secession.— Gen. Scott lias giv
en the President an elaborate opinion in reference
to the present condition of the military defences
of the country, and what should be doue in view
of possible contingencies. He deprecates seces
sion, he begs his own State of Virginia to pause
and bear the ills she has rather than fly to those
she knows not of. But if secession occurs, lie
says, it will resVilt not in the formation of two, but
four distinct nationalities. These are, as near as
I can recollect, as follows : New York, New Eng
land, Pennsylyunia, Michigan, Wisconsin, lowa
and Minnesota. Except what 1 will next meution
as one, the second will consist of Indiana, Illinois,
Ohio, Western Virginia, and so along down the
Blue Ridge, taking in Western Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Arkansas, Ken
tucky, Missouri, and Texas. The third will con
sist of South Carolina, Georgia, East Florida, East
ern Virginia, and perhaps Maryland and Dela
ware. The Pacific States will constitute the
fourth.
The General treats the exclusion of the grain
growing States of the West from a direct commu
nication with the Gulf of Mexico as an impossi
bility. They will have free course to go down the
Mississippi, and will insist upon Pensacola as a
naval depot.
The General also gives an elaborate statement
of the disposition of the military forces of the na
tiou, and the condition and needs of the fortified
places.
~Fort Moultrie. —It appears that the President
has given orders to have the sloop-ofwar Brook
lyn held in readiness to proceed to Charleston,
to aid in the defence of Fort Moultrie, at any
.time which he should command it, hut declined to
do any thing immediately by way of reinforcing
the garrison there at present.
Central Bank Suspended. —The Central Bank
of Alabama, in this city, suspended specie pay
ments to-day, in accordance with the request of
the Governor, some days ago. We learn that the
“Eastern,” at Eufuula, and the “Commercial,” at
Selma, have also suspended, under the same ar
rangement. — Mont. Mail , 17th.
Gin House Burnt.— Mr. Wm. Seay, of this
county, had his gin house burnt on Friday morn

happened to the same misfortune last year.—

Charleston, Dec. 10.—The Convention assem
bled at the usual hour this morning. The day
was spent in preparing business to be accomplish
ed after the Ordinance of Secession shall have
passed. The Committee appointed to draft the
Ordinance of Secession will probably report to
morrow and it will be passed by the Convention
on Friday. After this is done, it is probable that

proceedings of to-day was a leugthy discussion
on the subject of postal arrangements. The Con

Mr. Elmore, the Commissioner from Alabama,

Some discussion arose upon a motion to admit
reporters. Several propositions were submitted.
Among others, was one to admit only those from
Charleston and the South, but the further consid
eration of the subject was postponed.
The policy of sitting with closed doors was also
discussed, aud w armly opposed.
The subject of the admission of Reporters was
finally disposed of by leaving it to the discretion
of the President to issue tickets to such Reporters
as he may choose.
It was proposed to refer the subject of sitting
with closed doors to a Committee.
CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, Dec. 19.—Senate. —In the Senate,
