Suit. Winter ban come, and the time for game has arrived with it. Wc love to play al games very much; but there is a gome called Partridge, which is played by the help of a gridiron, a fire, a plate, knife and fork— which we like the best of all winter evening amusements. A game of Partridge is a kind of solitaire ; it might be played by two, but only one can have a real, good, solid time playiug it, and it is the only way we ever allow ourselves to frequent the gaming tablo. Pardoned by the President. Wm. McMahan, a native of Greenville District, S. C., who was convicted previous to the war, aud on trial before Judge Msgrath, of embezzlement of moneys from the postoffice at Greenville, and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment, has received an unconditional pardon from President John seii. The prisouor, during the war, effected his escape from jail, bat was recently recap tured aud recommitted to jail in Greenville to servo out the balance of the term of imprisonment for which he was sentenced. The Trade of Mew York. The total trade returns of the port of New Tork for 1807 are published. During 1807 the exports, exclusive of specie, were $180,799,025 as compared with $192,329,554 for 18G6. The imports during 1807 were $252,548,475 as compared with $306,613,184 during iB6O. The receipts from customs during 1807 were $114,085,990.34 as com pared with $128,079,761.00 during 1866- The shipment of specie from New York during 1807 were $51,801,948, whibt the receipts from California were $27,982,785, end the imports from abroad, $3,306,339 showing a net loss during the year of $20,512,824. Cake*Sland«. The “cake stand” is an institution of the city. From time immemorial, aged colored women have vended gingor-cakes, pea-nuts and apples on the corners and thorough fares of the larger cities, and Augusta can now claim her fair proportion of these little floating stocks, in whiek is, perhaps, in vested all that the poor Cake-woman has of earthly goods. Let us feel kindly towards these old women. Their occupation teaches a lesson of trial and poverty, and shows that Kfo is but one continuous struggle against adversity. The earnings of the little Cake-Stand are small; but, perchance, they hush the cry of many little children for bread, and enable the old woman who sits behind it, with her sewing, from day to day, to live without appealing to the deaf ear of earthly charity. The “Conservative” Resolve- At a large and enthusiastic meeting of the “Conservatives” of this city, held on the evening of the 4th instant, Mr. A. Kanse Wright editor of the Chronicle d? Sentinel (Obstructionist), offered the follow ing Resolution, which received only one Black ball: “ liesolved, That from the past history and exemplary character as a gentleman and an officer of Major General GEORGE G. MEADE, we bcliovo that be will, in the disharge of the difficult duties which de. volve upon him as Military Commander of District No. .3, so administer the laws which he is sent to execute as to render fair play and equal justice to all classes of our people, and to that end we tender to him, in advance the assurance that, to the best of our ability, we will sustain and support him in his now and trying position.” Gold and Silver Product- Official figures, from the Pacific slope, show a steady increase in the production of the precious metals. The mint at Sau Francisco received in silver, in November last, 60-,860 ounces, against 59,797 ounces in October, 34,998 ounces in September, and 54,997 ounces in August. The increase promises to be regular and constant. Os gold, the receipts for eleven months, to the first of December, 1867, wera 950,- 717.03 ounces, against 913,068.75 ounces ior the same period in 1806. The coinage for the same time was in 1807, $18,195,535, and in 1860, $10,140,500, showing an increase of $,049,035.. Thus not only are our gold and silver increasing all the while, but the rate of increase is accelerating. When the Pacific Railroad penetrates a couple of miles further, the production will be very much greater. Encourage Home Industry. We are glad to see so many of our young men steadily applying themselves to me chanical occupations, believing that it argues well for the success of our country, and we hope that every citizen will feel it his duty to encourage home manufactures when ever in his power, Tbe labors of the me chanic should always meet with this encour agement. It incites them to industry, and aids greatly in securing that genial good fellowship which induces man to help his fellow man. Live and let live, is a capital motto that should be especially remembered at this time, and those who receive business favors in tho way of patronage are very apt to return them in some shape or other. Soon, very soon, we hope, business will receive a new impetus, and by honest industry and fair dealing, our city will, we trust, become at no distant date as lively and prosperous as in her best days. Wanted—Uiidly. A Board of Trade, in Augusta—and active, intelligent gentlemen to compose it, Wisdom is of little value to public affairs wben it is so old and decrepid that it has neither interest in busy life nor energy enough to take part in the actions of the day. Ob, for a Board—a Board of men In the prime of life, with good judgments, quick intellects, and great energy, who will take upon themselves its responsible duties. They should by all means be friends of improvement, advocates of every measure which can add to the growth and prosperity of Augusta—live men, full of energy, and endowed with far-seeing sagacity, so that they may be, as it were, the eyes of the city, discerning danger on the one hand aud discovering the way to improvement and prosperity on the other. Such a Board would he worth having—it would bo invalu able. Will we ever have itV in BHkraruy.

A married gentleman, aged thirty three, had suffered from a cough for six months; to such an extent as justly to excite the most serious apprehensions on the part of his friends. Ilis cough was frequent, attended with pain in 1# side, shortness of breath loss of flesh, pale, sunken face, and at times fever. AH the remedies he bad tried had not availed to meet his case, or even relieve his cough. He took one box of Humph reys’ Cough Pills No. 7 without experiencing but moderate relief; and, on consulting Prof. Humphreys, was advised to use the fever pills in alternation with the Cough Pills. He did so, taking three or four pills per day, and found immediate relief, and in three weeks considered himself entirely well, having regained his strength and vigor, and being free from his cough. f -T ■♦♦♦ [Advertisoinont.] Ilomccpatliic Insurance. We see that a charter has been obtained in New York, for Homiaopathiu Mutual Life Insurance Company, tbo books of which will be opened for subscription on the 27th of this month at the Tenth National Bank. The principal peculiarity of this new enterprise is that the lives of those who adopt the homoeopathic treatment of diseases are insured at “judicially reduced rates” in comparison with those who are treated in the old manner. The gentlemen who are engaged in getting up this company give, by adopting this feature, a very decided proof of their conviction that the homoeopathic method is the safest aud most efficacious. It remains to be seen whether the allopathic school will get up a rival institution. The capital stock of the company will be two hundred thousand dollars. It is to be paid in cash and invested in State securities. The stockholders are to receive seven per cent, interest, payable in gold. The enter prise is recommended in a circular by some of our ablest homueopatliic practitioners. x [Advertisement.] (looda at a Sacrifice.
