Friday, 2lst, betokened an inauspicious day for the Parade of the 22d. To bo sure, Firemen arc not afraid of water, but the only “fire” they wish to encounter at their semi-annual review is that issuing from the bright eyes of their favorites—the beautiful girls of Augusta. At the hour of sunset (Friday), however, we have pleasing indications of a delightful day on the morrow, and there is very little doubt that, at the grand parade, the rule will be reversed—the Firemen will call out the Belles! The Meal Store. The last Grand Jury want the Meal Store (where poor people are supplied gratuitously) abolished. Well, we promise to aid in its abolish ment—on one condition, to-wit, namely, i. e„ as follows : Let those gentlemen (there may be some on the Grand Jury) who so nobly and em phatically offered to take care of the fami lies of tho Confederate soldiers, “if any thing should happen to them,” now ap pealing for aid as the widows and orphans of the aforesaid soldiers, many of whom entered the army relying upon the promises of the gentlemen who remained at home— we say, (/'those gentlemen will redeem their solemn pledges in behalf of the destitute families of the Confederate dead from Richmond county—then we will be willing to “ shut up the Meal Store.” Till then, wo suggest that the fault-finders “ shut up” themselves. Stirring up the limbers. When the war came to an end one of the most distinguished Confederate Generals said to the New York Post, of certain portions of the South who were still full of fight, that they had probably not been in the army during the war. Those who fought, he added, are ready for peace and not anxious to fight agaiu. The justice of his remark was generally acknowledged by the Southern soldiers, who ridiculed the Bobadils under the name “bombproofs.” It is to comfort these “bombproofs,” probably, that Mr. John Mullaly, of the New York Metropolitan Re cord, is now lecturing in the Southern States. He was at Augusta lately. These persons are stirring up the embers ; but they will scarcely be able to rekindle the fire. It is too late for that. There is com mon sense enough in the country, and in all parts of it, to settle all our disputes, hence forth, without resort to arms ; and the Mul lalys and Chronicles are behind the age when they recommence that old system of misrep resentation, and “firing the Southern heart,’ which answered a very bad purpose eight years ago, but is now, to use a common phrase, “played out.” “ When a man talks about anew war, be sure he did not fight in the late one,” said Longstreet, not long since to a friend, and he but echoed tho opinions of most of the Southern Generals gathered at New Orleans. He was doubtless right. The soldiers of both armies are at work earning their living. It is the “ bombproofs” whose voices are heard inciting to new vio lence. They are perfectly safe in doing so, for even if their efforts should bring on anew struggle, they have, predetermined upon the line of their retreat into Canada or Mexico. There are many of our Democratic friends whom tho above remarks will suit exactly. Industrial Reform. England is slow in adopting progres sive measures, but when once she is waked up to the necessity of reform, the work is certain to be thoroughly done. For years past, the most horrible stories ot tho suffering of very young children in her mines and factories have shocked the civilized world, but all that state of things is effectually remedied by a recent act of Parliament, which contains some features worthy the attention of our legislators in portions of our country. It enacts that no child under eight years of age shall be employed in any handicraft; that no child shall be employed over six and a half hours a day, and these hours must be between six a. m. and eight p. m.; that no young person or woman shall be em ployed over twelve hours, with inter vening intervals for rest and meals, and that this shall be between five a. in. aud nine p. m.; that no child, young person, or woman, shall be employed on Sunday, or after two o’clock p. m. on Saturday, except in establishments where not more than five persons are engaged in making or repairing articles to be sold on the premises at retail; and that no child under eleven shall be employed in grihd ing, in metal work or in fustian cutting. The “ After all that baa been said about com pelling England to pay for the ravages of tho Alabama among American shipping, it is a little singular to find that Europeans, and not Americans, will bo tho chief claimants sot compensation when it comes to be made. According to a statement in the London Pall Mall Gazette, the Lon don, Paris, Rotterdam, and Hamburg un derwriters had large sums insured upon the vessels destroyed, and those of Glas gow, also, though not to so great an ex tent. Os course, these underwriters, hav ing paid the insurance money, will be entitled to recctvo whatover is awarded to the owners. The Caltou lilng. Anew feature, in fact quite an innovation in the Savannah cotton market (if we may credit the Republican of that city), is what is technically known as “The Ring.” It is an unknown body that has its representa tives in commercial circles, who are chary of acknowledging their connection with the organization. Their mode of operation is for each and all of the members to pick up about the town, wherever they find a free seller, such lots n3 meet their judgment. They then take the samples by which they bought,and concentrate them in the hands of some one firm selected out of the organiza. tion to sell, and they have offered very large lines. To say the truth, “The Ring" has weeded a very “wide row,’ ’ and some of the unsuspecting have gone in and purchased from it. Thus far, “The Ring" has been a success; but we must say that it is not in such “high feather” to-day as it was a fort night ago, before their operations were un derstood. “The Ring” has no doubt made money, and the capitalist who furnished the “backbone” has reaped bis reward. He is well known to the initiated as bolstariug the organization. And where’s the harm ? Let a man earn an honest dollar or two. Some say they will not sell to “The Ring,” and some say they will not buy from it, because of the frequent manipulation of the samples. However, the thing is working its own end, and we leave it to those most interested to “inwardly digest’’ what we have written, and make such reflections as they please. [Advertisomout.] Cohkli and Ilronchitis, A young man, twenty-two years of age, had a cough and hoarseness for fifteen months. During cold weather his voice was lost so as only to speak in whispers, pain induced on coughing, cough dry, or raising only a trifle in tho morning, quite feeble and emaciated. Had taken several medi cines, with but little or no benefit. He commenced with Humphrey’s Cough Pills, no 7 —one pill three times a day, and soon founil himself improving—his cough milder and softer, hoarseness passed off, strength and appetite improved, and in a few weeks was entirely well, having taken no other medicine. feb2ltf ■ —- [Advertisement.] Professor (tobertx, The Great M»s liclixer, Will heal the sick by Animal Magnet ism, at Augusta Hotel, from February 17th to March 17th, 1868.
