NationalUepnblicnn Official City Paper. LiRSEST CITY CIRCILATION. AUGUSTA.

We learn that it has decided that the pews iu St. James (Melmnlist) Church, in this city, arc to remain as heretofore — /'«■• Religion* Jfotlrr. At the Greene street Baptist Church, to day : preaching at 10$ a. tn.. Sabbath School at 3 p. m., and preaching at 7$ p. ro. It will be seen that the evening services are to be resumed. The Street Cara. For several days these new means of loco motion have been traversing the routes, well filled—mostly with little folks, who seemed to eujov their free ride. We are not advised as to when “fare" will be required. Query for Kailwari. Touching the late railway disasters, a correspondent asks: “Why not have two flanges on the ear wheel, instead of one, as they ave at present constructed ? Any obstruction that unseats the wheels of one side could not then easily unseat those of the other.” Augusta nortatily, 1867. During the past year, there were seven hundred and thirty-six intermeats in the Augusta Cemetery. Os this number, six hundred and twenty-two were deaths in the city—two hundred and sixteen whites, and four hundred and six blacks. Illuminating;. We sec it stated that a French surgeon has invented a means of illuminating the inside of a man’s stomach. If he could only introduce his apparatus into some people’s head, he would be a benefactor to the race. January Coupon*. The Treasurer of the Macon & Augusta Railroad Company gives notice that the January coupons of the Bonds of that corporation will be paid on presentation iu this city, or at the office of M. K. Jessup A Cos., New York. Delightful weather. This paragraphist has been an inhabitant of the world thirty-seven years to-day—and he can not call to mind another such de lightful spell of weather, at this season of the year, as our citizens have enjoyed for several days past. The atmosphere is charming, overcoats are unnecessary, and such weather must be very acceptable to poor people who have to purchase fuel. Hymeneal. We happen to know that several wed dings are on the tapis in this good city and vicinity. That’s right. There’s no better remedy, young man, for the mueh-talked-of hard times, than to form a life partnership with some considerate charmer who will help you to economise. And wo notice, too, that most of the “cards” are being printed from E. 11. Pugbe’s press, 190 Broad street —the place to have them neatly executed. Superior Typography. We have no hesitation in asserting that the “Calendar for 1868,” issued by E. 11. Pi'GHE, of this city, is, in point of artistic execution, equal to any similar publication from any establishment in the United States—and surpassed by none. Indeed, our citizens all are fast finding out the facilities enjoyed by Mr. Pughe in the matter of neat printing ; he is thoroughly posted concerning all improvements at the best type foundries, and is invariably in the van, in this section, in introducing novelties in printing. A Faithful Officer. We know of no one, in the City's service, who has performed his duties more faith fully than B ons Morrison, the efficient Street Contractor. When he took hold of the work, oar streets and drains were “in an awful fix,” hut John went at the task before him with characteristic energy, and has won golden opinions from our citizens for the comparatively excellent condition ol the thoroughfares. For the past few days his attention has been given to the improve ment of Broad and Jackson streets, in the vicinity of the Globe Hotel, having laid a foundation which, we think, will prevent in future accumulations of mud in rainy reasons. Nebliut,at Berzelia. We take pleasure in reminding the travel ling public, and others, that Mr. E. Nebiiut, well and favorably known as a Hotelist, has taken charge of the entertainment-house at Berzelia, on the Georgia Railroad, twenty miles from Augusta. Our friend Nobhnt won deserved praise for the management of his famous House, farther up the line of this popular thoroughfare, and we feel confident that abundant patronasre will be bestowed upon him at Berzelia—especially in the season when parttics mostly congregate at that charming w atering-plaee, whose present proprietor is eminently capable of keeping a hotel. Publication of tlic Letter J.i.t The Postmaster General, in view of the fact that so few of *he advertised letter i are ■ delivered, has decided that from and after [January Ist, 1808, no payment will bo made | for inserting the lists, provided, “any pub-' I lisher of a newspaper can be found willing Fto do the work with out charge, Also, that I all newspaper men offering to publish with out charge, shall have the privilege of copy | ing the same simultaneously A circular to this effect has been sent to all the postmasters of the country, with instructions to notify the newspapers in their localities of the decision of the De partment in the matter, The tiemervhitve meeting. At the meeting, last night, at the City Hall, Mr. John Phinizy, sr., presided, ami Mr. Win. C. Jones acted as scribe, Mr. A. R. Wright (one of the delegates to the Macon Convention), modestly offered a resolution, that the people o( Richmond county heartily approve the doings*ot that body—which was carried. Mr. A. U. Wright offered a resolution—in substance: denouncing the Reconstruction measures of Congress ns unconstitutional, unjust, cruel, and vindictive. Ex-Jadgc Bothwell, in a very sensible speech, proposed to amend by striking out the words “unjust, cruel, and vindictive." Mr. A. R. Wright said he was “willing,” he appreciated Judge B’s motives, and would accept the amendment on the idea that when he went a-fishing, he wanted to get in all he could, etc. Mr. Roswell King vehemently opposed the amendment, insisting upon retaining the aforesaid adjectives ; whereupon, amid cheers and whoops, the original motion was carried. Mr. A. R. Wright offered a resolution, thanking President Johnson for remov’a; General Pope, etc., and also, tendering to General Meade (in advance) the hearty sup port of the “Conservatives of this county” if he should prove to be all right, and give the white people of Georgia a fair chance at the coming election, and remove the Radi cals from office—which was carried. Mr. J. C. Black was called upon, came forward, and made a speech: eulogized Gen- Brocken ridge, and expressed his dis sent to the resolution thanking General Meade before he was weighed in the balance and not found wanting. Mr. B. is a genuine orator, and made a first rate speech—but the resolution of thanks was not revoked. Speeches were also made by Mr. Roswell King and Judge Bothwell—the latter gently rapping “the young men” for their excess of zeal, and the former declaring that the Conservatives didn’t want the sympathy of any man who wouldn’t endorse every word in Mr. Wright’s resolution, adjectives included. Mr. A. R. Wright moved the appointment of a committee to frame a Constitution and by-laws for a Conservative Club—to report at a subsequent meeting, to be called by the Chair—and Messrs. A. 11. Wright, J. T. Bothwell, Dr. W. S. Jones, Geo. T. Barnes, Roswell King, Claiborne Snead, and two or three others, were appointed. Mr. A. R. Wright was called on for a speech, but ho declined, averring that he was “unaccustomed to public speaking.” There being no further business, the meeting then adjourned, amid loud calls for a prominent citizen (Colonel M.), who didn't respond. Prospecting Tour, It is announced that Mr. John Mullaly, editor of the Metropolitan Record, of New York, will probably visit (and make a speech in) onr city, during his prospecting tour through the South—liis ostensible object being “to acquaint his readers with the actual conditiou of affairs” in this as yet unreconstructed portion of the Union. Commendable. It is gratifying to note the interest which is apparent in our community for tho hun dreds of children who must go untaught except what they may learn iu our Sabbath Schools. To search for these little ones and induce them to attend such places of instruction, is a work for the philanthropic heart. Do not too many of us, lellow citizens, ignore the reflection that these young immortals—the embryo men and women of our commonwealth—constitute the hope of our country, and that the for mation of their character is, in a measure, committed to our care ? Let us aid in placing them underall the influences which will cheek their youthful passions, and assist in fitting them for usefulness in the world and the realities of the life to come. Payments in Gold. Official notice is given that after the 2d of January (last Thursday), the bonds of 1847, payable after twenty years and now due, will he paid in gold by the government. No one, wo presume, opposes the payment in this manner. Everybody assumes that it is right and proper. This is the third pay ment on the principal of the national debt since the suspension of specie payment. Ail the payments have been made in gold- That is according to the instincts of all men. It is a response to the popular con science. WHi*Key Frauds. The statistics, which were elicited by the investigations of the Ways and Means Committee into the practical working of the Tice and other spirit metres, show that, instead ot a tax of two dollars, the Gov. ernment has actually collected only about eighteen cents per gallon on spirits up to the end of the last fiscal year. It is confi dently asserted that receipts have materially fallen off since June 30, and that the detailed statement of revenue from this source called for by the House will show that less than nine cents per gallon has been received on the production of the country during the present fiscal year. The advo cates of low tax claim that it is much better to fix the rate even at twenty-five cents than to retain the present enormous nominal rate, which only results in benefit to corrupt offi cers and fraudulent distillers. (Advertisement.] Catarrh A clergyman, aged forty-two, had long suffered with Catarrh, [vhich had not only been a source ol annoyance, but began to excite uneasiness in regard to its effect upon his general health. There was a frequent and sometimes a profuse discharge from the head, frequent sneezing, and an almost entire loss of smell. He procured a box of Humphrey’s Specific Catarrh Pills, No. lit, and was entirely cured, even to a return of his sense of smell, in the course of a few weeks. t [Advertisement.] Houghton Institute —The exercises of this school will he resumed on Monday, the oth of January, at half-past 8 o’clock. Parents desiring to send their children will please sec to it that they arc at the school promptly at half-past eight. J. T. Derry, Principal.

Hard Times. Wc hear a great deal said of the hard times now, and the harder ones to come. That business is dull, employment scarce, and prices are declining is certainly true; but not nearly to the extent that might have been anticipated after the high pres sure of t lie past four years. Extended busi ness nnd large profits, begat extravagance in every department, and the return to old prices and smaller wages necessitates a cutting down of expenses, and a curtail ment of luxuries. Much of the complaints of hard times arises, not from any actual offering, but from the deprivation of some extravagance which we find it difficult to leave off. Still there is an increasing stagnation, and frequent suspensions are announced—factories are reducing their time tables and labor is in great excess of the demand. Certain knowing ones pre dict large additions to the number of fail ures before the winter is over, from the continued quiet of trade, and the inability of merchants to realize in time to meet their maturing liabilities. Wc can only advise our readers to take in sail, reduce expense*, and keep well up into the wind when the blow comes. AUGUSTA MARKETS. Satubdav, Jan. 4, 186S. FINANCIAL. —No change in Gold or Silver.

Grant, covering letters from the South, don’t credit the wide-spread destitution repre sented ; it says, last year Southern gentle men estimated that it would take two mil lions, whereas half million met necessities. Thinks this year's distress wont prove so stringent as represented by Governors Orr ( Humphreys and others, but before Spring there will doubtless ho suffering in South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, and small sections o! other States—urges the President and Congress to inaugurate a system of re lief which wont pauperize the people. Howard, with Grant's approval, has direct ed sub commissioners to relieve absolute dis tress, and has directed the purchase of corn (or distribution in the most, needy sections. No bureau officers will be re tained South except upon representations of sub-commis sioners that their services are imperatively needed. Cable Telegram*. London, January 4. The Fenian Head, quarters at Paris were discovered, and im portant documents captured and sent to England.
