wiuu At cm.
A gentle man in business in this city has
for-several yoars made a practice, which is
common with many, of itWTling his cun
tenners aud friends out to “taka a drink” or
a cigar. A friend endeavored to couvittco
him that he was speeding too much in this
way, asule from other and stronger objec
tions to the practice. The gentleman in
sisted that tho cost was a mere trifle, but to
make euro ol it, ho adopted tho following
plan; Each time he spent anything for this
purpose, he deposited an equal amount in
a box in his safe, Keeping no aceouut of it.
At the end ot three mouths he counted this
deposit, and found there, to his amazement,
over three hundred dollars. The friend who
related the incident to us said he had just
loft the surprised man, who was still looking
at the pile of bills and thinking deeply.
Perhaps he was reckoning the amount of
comfort and pleasure the sunt would have
brought to the homo circle, if properly used,
or how it would have helped iu taking up
some note when he was “short.” Probably
he has received some new ideas which will
do him much good, and not injure his
customers.
Public Schools of this tily.
In continuation of this subject, we shall
confine ourselves, for the preseut, wholly to
the general outliue, and not bote our read
ers with statistical facts, which are more in
the way of tltc report of a Superintendent
to the “Board of Public Education” than a
local editor’s province, in our opinion;
therefore, we shall content ourselves, for
the present, with calling, briefly, attention
to the great, wants of the schools of the
city. In the first place, then, we visited the
two schools of Mr. Gordon and Mr. McCar
thy, in the District of Dublin (so called),
and found the former occupying two small
rooms—one twelve by eight feet, which
held fifty-two boys, and the other twenty by
twelve, with fifty-six girls in its crowded
dimensions. There was neither room to
breathe, to study, to recite, or to discipline
the school. Mr. G. does the best lie can
under the circumstances, for he lias to pay
the rent of the building himself, out of his
badly paid salary ; and while lie would, if
possessed of the means to do so, enlarge his
borders, he is compelled to content himself
with his present cramped quarters. A
description of this will answer also for Mr.
McCarthy’s arrangements, although he has
rather more room. In those two instances
there is an opportunity for philanthropy to
exercise itself aud open its purse. Out
readers can have no idea of the great num
ber of children in the 4th Ward, and, w T e
presume, in all the other wards of the city,
who are unprovided either with sehool
houses or teachers, and arc idling about the
streets. The Factory school, under the care
of the Misses Coffin, has a mote comfortable
room, aud, with fifty-five pupils, has it
sufficiently filled.
We regret that time would not allow our
visiting four other schools of whites, two in
the First Ward and two others in the Fourth
Ward. There are several private schools in
the city, besides those we have already
alluded lo—these we have not visited. Wo
will now write of the schools for colored
children, without being too prolix, if we can
help it. In the first place, then, we will
say that the buildings are well arranged—
with ample light—and ventilation—comfor
table seats and desks--maps and charts of
various kinds adorn the walls, and the lady
teachers understand well th e task of instruct
ing the children from the Primary classes to
the higher branches of education, but the
discipline of the schools was astonishingly
apparent; and-the perfect obedience ol the
pupils in especially one of the schools,
reminds one of a Prussian Regiment on
drill, compared with raw militia. Vocal
music is one of the features in these schools,
and the perfect time kept in this exercise is
wonderful.
These cultivated ladies, who are doing
this educational work, are not laboring for
money, but from higher motives, for far
grander objects, and to gain nobler ends.
Their deeds of mercy and acts of charity to
the poor of this city,-during the past winter,
are well known to a few of our citizens, not
only of the colored but of the white race.
We learn, that with all the self sacrifices
these ladies have made, and are daily
making, and the examples of industry as
teachers they evince, they arc prescribed
and insulted upon the streets by the white
loafers on the town, who, if they possessed
one particle of self respect, would easily
remember that no gentleman will wilfully
insult any one, much more a lady, and that
these ladies set an example of laborious
work that loafers would do well to follow.
Magnanimity*
We are great advocates of the exercise of
this virtuo, in all cases, but that of giving
the offices of the country to any one but
out and out, reliable Republicans, ot known
past record ns such, and who tought the
recent political battles in the State fear
lessly and without regard to bullying Tory
ism or weak-kneed quasi friends. It amuses
us much to see already an effort being made
in Georgia, ore the smoke of battle has
passed away, or the foes retired from the
field, seeking to preach up magnanimity to
the conquerors 1 This is impudence unpar
alleled, and Democracy may rest assured
that neither whining nor blubbering, nor
any other thing they may say or do, will
change the fiat that has gone forth—“ Put
none but Republicans on guard.”
We have the power now to make the State
of Georgia a tree State, amt require that
every office shall be filled by those men only
who have won this great honor—hail from
where they may—so that they are now, and
as we said before, have been true to the
principles of government we advocate, and
which, we are well satisfied, will redeem the
State Irom the usurpations ot the past.
So gentlemen of the “so-called,” don’t
make any preparations at all ; some of you
are very good looking, and very clever, and
all that, “but you can’t come in.” We may
consent to receive you into our churches,
upon probation, lor the term of tour years on
good behavior, but not otherwise. Could we
think of consenting to any arrangement by
which you might become troublesome and
I disgrace the ritual ?
* ADDRESS
On tin occasion of «*• decoration of the grace, of
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Snowden, bg the Pa pile of
the Augnetn Free School, Mag 4, 1808.
Tho pleasure afforded ine by your invita
tioo to address you upon tbo occasion of
your annual tribute to the memory of depart,
ed friends and benefactors, is saddened only
by the reflection of tho inability of your
speaker to do justice to the characters and
virtues of the lamented dead. But, having
been a witness to the fidelity and zeal with
which they labored in the discharge of the
arduous duties bf their profession,and 1 trust,
grateful recipient of Hie benefits of that
labor, I would havo done violence to my
feelings, bad I refused to add my humble
abilities to that of these children, who are
here to discharge somewhat of the debt of
gratitude we owe to the dead for the services
they rendered our city, State and country
iu the cause of education.
Believing it to be a sacred duty I owe
alike to the living and the dead, that their
honored names and exemplary characters
should be put upon record for the admira
tion and emulation of the living, still I
regard it no part of my duty, and this not
the occasion nor place in which to indulge
in ill-timed and unmeaning praise aud
commendation. The spirit of the occasion
would lebuke the recourse.
The names of our honored dead need no
such resort; for their integrity of character
and virtue of life shines brightest when por
trayed in the simple and unostentatious garb
of truth and candor. Their services forming
a prominent part of the history of our citv,
it would bo idle and presumptive in me to
comment upon their qualifications for the
duties of their profession. It stands cou-
Icssed iu the reputation of the Institution
over which their genious presided. Os the
success of their labors—the standard by
which the masses judge of merit—there are
living monuments, whose accomplishments
are far more eloquent in their praise than
any language could possibly be. Os the
integrity and consistency of their lives let
the example they have left us speak. Os the
disinterestedness and humanity of their
labor, let the number and circumstances of
their pupils tell.
Os them, it may be truly said, their lives
were devoted to the public good ; not to that
class of the public whose social and pecuni
ary position foreshadows the certainty of
reward, but to the hedges aud by-ways of the
city, where the poor and destitute, the
ignorant and the orphan were found—there
they were iirstdevoted, and there their kindly
offices and ministrations were bestowed, and
if there be names at whose mention the
orphan’s teat- will start, or the poor’s blessing
be pronounced, these ate they—lor where
was the work of chatity in which they had
not a part, or the cause of humanity in
which they had not a share ?
The conception taken by Mr. and Mrs.
Snowden of the duties of their- profession
was lofty, yet characteristic of their nature.
The possibilities of tire future were ex
changed for the realities of the present, and
their instruction was of that eminently prac
tical and useful character which the circum
stances of their pupils required.
For those who desired employment, situa
tions were secured, and with parental ad
monition and affection they were sent forth
to the discharge of its duties. And to-day
many of these stand the respected head and
genior of responsible firms, to which years
ago they were put as clerks or messengers—
itself an irrefutable prool of the success of
their efforts in the development of their
minds and characters.
We might follow the same figure in the
other professions, where many ol the pupils
have attained positions of prominence aud
honor in filling places of public trust and
confidence.
But the brightest feature in their charac
ters was the life long devotion with which
they leaned upon the strong arm of Omnipo
tence, and the crowning glory of their
system was the earnestness and zeal with
which they labored to impart the same
attributes to their pupils. But why should
I attempt a rehearsal of their virtues?
Yonder sun would sink behind the Western
hills ere half tho story was told. They are
indelibly written in the affections ot this
people, whose representatives have paid
the tribute of that affection in the ceremo
nies of this occasion—the grateful recogni
tion of their legacy of spotless names.
The spirits of our friends have gone to the
rewards of well-spent lives, and are blessed
in the Associations of the better land. Their
example is with us for our admiration and
emulation, ns beacon lights on the high sea
of life, by which we may be enabled to
guide our own frail being through an honored
life, to the same happy port.
As worshippers at the shrine of virtue, by
these ceremonies we have incurred the sacred
obligation of emulating their lives and ex
ample; the faithful performance of which
will render your annual tribute tit and
appropriate—otherwise, it will be but lip
service, and our recreancy will be a solemn
mockery of the virtues of the honored dead.
Their mantles have fallen upon two of
their respective pupils, of whose qualifica
tions, both in character and ability, it is the
pleasant duty of your speaker to bear testi
mony. And if their pupils will but faithfully
perform their part of the obligations, I feel
confident shut the future reputation of the
school will be we.ll worthy its past fair lame
Their >r.:, my young friends, are for your
advancement, their example for your present
emulation, and your future will depend very
much upon the manner in which you assist
in the one, and follow the other.
Your present is fraught with far more im
portance to your future than many of you can
perhaps, realize. If you slight the present
it will be only when too late to remedy it,
and the cares and responsibilities of life
are fully upon you, that you will discover the
criminality of the indifference of your boy
hood, in the neglect of those preparations
which are to qualify you for the duties and
honors of manhood. God only can tell the
number of that numerous class, who, hav
ing passed their brightest years in indolence
and depravity, find, in the bitter disap
pointments of manhood, their inability to
assume its responsibilities and discharge
with honor its obligations. And their own
saddened hearts alone can conceive the
value of a single year of boyhood, with its
endless train of opportunities, pleasures
and duties.
Then take heed that you do not slight the
golden opportunities of your youth, but
make this the occasion when your vow will
be recorded iu the sacred dust ot affection,
to pledge yourselves to an earnest and hon
orable emulation of the virtues of your
departed friends, that you may grow up to he
honored and useful members of society—the
boys the hope aud glory of their country,
whilst beauty boldly marches in their wake,
to ornament, by the purity and affection of
their lives, the sacred relation of sister, wife,
and mother.
The Radical Scalawag-Negro papers of
this State are making piteous appeals and
indignant protests against the social and
business ostracism, which, they fear, will be
shown toward them, and which their own
consciences tell them their infamy demands.
We will bet anew Irish Potatoe that the
writer of the above, which we clip from the
“respectability,” Chronicle & Sentinel, would
not be received in any respectable family in
the city of Augusta.

AUGUST A^MARKETS.
Tt kidat, May 5—P. M.
The markola are too precarious and too quiet
to demand a report. The financial part is in
etatn quo, and Cotton, Corn, and Bacon, arc
wholly unchanged in price, so far as we can
learn. Therefor#, we refrain from giving any
figures to-day.
Greenbacks are scarce, and consequently
there oan be no very great exchange of com
modities.

House to reverse Constitutional usage, that
he might keep an office got by arts not the
