There was a full attendance of spectators alibis tribunal on yesterday, drawn together h? an eighteenth section case, in which a well-known citizen was prosecuted at the instance of a lady in the First Ward. Able counsel appeared on both sides. After a patient and-impartial hearing, the defendant was fitted and costs.

We would remind our church-going lend ers Unit one ol tho peculiur features of the working of the celebrated Spurgeon's church is, Hint its members go out among the lowly and wretched, the poor nnd vicious, and not only give Christian counsel, but also contrib ute to their bodily necessities, thus creating a bond of love and friendship between them. tuiaily I’ic-Biict. In this delightful season, “Pic-Nics” are the order of the day. Most ol the Secular and Sabbath Schools have had theirs—some going to Schultz's Hill, and others to Berze lin. Wc also notice that, since the comple tion of the Augusta and Summerville Rail way, many families go to spend a day at the Sand Ilillj—taking their little cherubs and big baskets. This is an excellent idea ; and wo have often thought that the citizens of the most favored climate in the world give far too slight attention to wholesome recrea tion. Man of business, turn your back for twenty-four hours upon your counting-rootn, office, or shop, nnd enjoy a “Family Pic- Nic” iu some of the pleasant shady groves of Summerville. The Present Era. If we were t > accept the asseverations of certain newspapers, we would bo obliged to admit that the country witnesses a “revolu tion" at least once a day during the entire session of Congress. At least once a day, the Constitution, or some institution or principle is overthrown, turned over, left upper side down, mid put standing on its head ! Amid all this topsy turvyness, however, m titers appear to go pretty much as usual, and every returning sun finds said constim tiou, institution anil principle restored to their normal position, none the worse appa rentiy for the previous day’s “revolution.” Reduced to unimaginative, mat ter-of fact language, all this means simply that Con gress is vigorously pushing forward its patriotic work of reconstructing the Union, and that its efforts are attended with success, which foreordains till defeat and ruin of the sham Democracy. That’s nil. Atlantic and Cult Kuilroad. The losses of the above road, resulting from the recent floods throughout the coun try it traverses, have been very much exag gerated North and elsewhere, arid have naturally caused a misunderstanding in the minds of many as to the extent of damages, and the cost of repairing them. Wo under stand, from the Savannah Republican, that the expenditures have been comparatively small, not reaching the originally low esti mates made, and that the road is now in complete and satisfactory running order from Savannah to Bainbridge.

We have been reading a long dissertation, by a Frenchman, who contends that groan ing and crying arc two great operations by which nature allays anguish—that those patients who give way to their natural feel ings more speedily recover front accidents and operations than those who suppose it unworthy a man to betray such symptoms of cowardice as to groan or cry. lie tells of a man, who reduced his pulse front a hundred and twenty six to sixty, in the course of a few hours,by giving full vent to his emotions. If people are at all unhappy about anything, let them get into their rooms nnd comfort themselves with a loud boohoo, and they wil' feel a hundred per cent, better afterward. In accordance with this theory, the crying of children should not be too greatly dis couraged. What is natural is always useful > and nothing can bo more natural than the crying of children when anything occurs to give them either physical or mental pain. Probably most persona have experienced the effect of tears in relieving great sorrow. It is even curious bow the feelings arc allayed by their free indulgence in groans and sighs. Then let parents and friends show more indulgence to noisy bursts of grief—on tho part of children as well as of older persons —and regard the eyes and the mouth as the safety valves through which Nature discharges her surplus steam. Affray at Dalton, On Wednesday last a shooting affray came very near proving fatal to two citizens of Dalton, (Jol. Tibbs and Mr. J. 15. Christian. The shooting was dond by a groeory keeper from Cleveland, Tennessee, by the name of J. 11. Scott. The difficulty had its origin during the war. When the Federal army took possession of Cleveland, John Tibbs, n sou of Col. Tibbs, and at that time thirteen or fourteen years old, was arrested, and this man Scott, a citizen of Cleveland, volunteered to guard him. Tho young man, Tibbs, claimed that Scott performed the duty in a way that he has not been aide to forget it, nor forgive him. This old difficulty was referred lo by young Tibbs 011 meeting Scott, which resulted in the shooting. Col. Tibbs, in an effort to keep down the difficulty, was unfortunately involved in the quarrel, and shot through the leg just above the ankle. Mr. Christian who was at the time near by, and having nothing to do with the difficulty, was hit over the right eye, the bell pawing through tho eye brow* and flattening against the thick frou tal bone which form* the upper wall of the eye. Both gentlemen ere in e fair way to rocorer. Scott waa immediately arrested. rue Sou*-BlriU. We hare already mentioned that our beautiful street* are carpeted with the soft, green velvet which ie ever the Spring’s con fession ot her amorous temperament in the first fervor of the rising blush, and the trees and shrubbery are reflecting that deep, lower strip of emerald which the steadily increas ing farm lh of sunlight burrows front the rainbow so beautifully and typically for the adornment of the land. The vines that trellis the front of many of our residences are indicating their thanksgiving in the leafy (lush—while nosegays of flowors are a grate ful reminder of the deep dells and mossy rivulet banks where cowslip, buttercup, and violet (“though darling of the April rain !”) just begin to thrill the brown, bare bosun of the soil, like the intuition of maternity in a Woman's breast. But the pleasantest accompaniments of this season of birth and beauty are the Song Birds. Careless minstrels ns they are, they never lurk in the train, but flit in the van guard, o( the blithe yonpg year. Already our public squares are musical with their varied song, and thousands are nest building among the old elms and bushes, with a world of whistled counselling and twittering debate among the boughs. It is, likewise, pleasant to know that in this respect we have nn element of gladness nnd cheer which is attainable by the most lowly of our citizens. Heel. Os course we need not tell our city readers that the beef we get from the “market” is, generally, miserable. One would think from its appearance that there is no grass in Georgia. We believe that much of this is attributable to our butchers, in not pro viding lierdage or sufficient pasturage for their beeves after they are delivered, and in neglecting to otherwise properly care for them. A beef that is bought to sell again can not, with impunity, be kept from grass ami water without loss to its owner, and positive injury and injustice to the consu mer. And such beef, too, is unwholesome. Had we not the healthiest climate in the world, at Augusta, this thing would tell in other effects than producing a growl now and then among our citizens. But we sup pose, practically, it makes no difference, as many are dependent on tho daily markets for their meat, and they will have it of what ever quality offered. Our butchers know this as well as anybody can, and they, like other trading people, are not slow to profit by the necessities of others. And yet, we venture to assert, that the one. among our butchers who will take the pains to provide well for his beeves, and at all times furnish at his stall fresh, fat beef, will secure a reputation in a little while that will make him a fortune. Cotton Culture. Systems change, and new modes and new channels are opened up to labor and to the industries of the land—and lie is the wise man who recognizes tho change and avails himself of its benefits at the earliest oppor tunity. The South just now is passing through one of these transition periods which will frequently happen in this world of change. Her system of labor and servitude is at an end. It is useless to argue whether as ail economical system slavery is better than freedom, or freedom is better than slavery. Leaving the moral aspects of this question out of the nccoutit as a system of labor, slavery is dead, and can not he revived— tour millions of people onec in vassalage have become free, and must henceforth remain free. During the existence of slavery large cotton plantations could be cultivated, and the planter made rich from the products of the soil. It may be done again. Butin order to insure the success of carrying on large plantations, two things arc ncccessary. First, there should he sufficient wages to command labor; and, secondly, a prico for the staple in the markets of the world which will enable the planter to pay the wages of the laborer, and pocket a sufficient profit to warrant the neccessary investment. If this can not be done—and just now there is much doubt about the success of tho large plantation system—then let these plantations be cut up into farms of forty, fifty, or one hundred acres each, and those who till the soil raise what will pay —a few bales of cotton, perhaps, the cereals, fruit, vegetables, etc. In short, let the Southern farmer do as does the New England and the Western firmer—make the most of the crops that will pay. The o-.v: ers of large tracts of land in the South may sit down on f'neir plantations and complain that their lands don’t pay. They will nut pay unless they seek to make them pay, by disposing of them in the way which the times nnd the altered circumstances of affairs demand. Some assert that tho freed men will not work. Others declare that the reason they will not work on the cotton plantation is, they are not pan! a sufficient sum to sustain life There is probably some truth in both of these statements. It is a fortunate circumstance, however, that neither party can hold out forever. Hunger will break through a stone wall—bread is a necessity that no mortal can ignore and live. Our firm conviction is, that the division of the large plantations into small farms is the system which will and ought to prevail in the South. .Klim Insurance Conipuiiy, HARTFORD, CONN., Incorporated, 18l'J.

Two thousand shocks occured ; that on the 2d of April lasted three minutes and was so severe that no one could stand. Churches and houses, in Uiwaii, China, were thrown down. Following the shook came a tidal wave sixty feet high, sweeping everything before it. The earth opened with bottom less fissures; thirty persons were swallowed in the yawning chasms ; the earth opened under the sea making tho water red ; vast land slides meantime occured, destroying life and property. The summit and side of a hill fifteen hun dred foot high, w s thrown thousands of feet over the tops of trees into the valley below. Gases issued afterwards destroying animate and vcgitablc life.

One hundred lives, and a half million dollars worth of property was distroyad Washington Items. Washington, May 9. — An absolute un certainty exists regarding the tesult of the impeachment. Senators keep their own counsels. Judicious people applaud the Senators for their conduct in this respect. Meade telegraphs to Grant that both branches of the Georgia Legislature are Radical; nlso, that the Florida election was quiet, resulting in the adoption of the Con stitution. Both branches of the legislature are Radical. Fifty thousand dollars worth of fractional currency was shipped to New Orleans during the week. Neither House iu session.

The Abyssinian tac tics and courage was good. Theodoras now sent, a flag demanding peace. Napier demanded his unconditional sur render.
