Fame J A six line puff in a newspaper—a ficti tious prominence—oftentimes created by fortuitous circumstances wholly unexpected and wholly undeserved by the recipient. The Weather. No rain yet. A good sized shower would produce glorious results, cool air and dust- Iree streets, which would be gratefully appreciated by everybody and evefything. 34th Day of Jnne. This is the anniversary of the ncccssion of Queen Victoria—the model Queen of the world—to the throne of Great Britain, and js observed in England and the other British possessions as “Accession Day.” St. John’s nay. This day is the usually observed Masonic Anniversary of the birthday of St. John the Baptist, who together with St. John the Evangelist, were two of the most ancient patrons of Freemasonry. It is usually observed by an address and other ob servances peculiar to the institution. Ilain Is much heeded in some portions of our State. The crops in some places have had no rain for five or six weeks. YYc were afraid that from the great abundance of the rain which fell during the winter and spring months there was great cause to fear a lack ol it when the hot months of summer arrived. t lotliei>l.inc Thieves Around, A gentleman, residing on Greeno street, between Elbert and Lincoln, met with the misfortune, yesterday, of having the clothes line in his yard robbed—in the daytime at that. [ Where was his dorg ?] We have come to the conclusion that there are not a few persons prowling around town on thieving purposes intent, and it behooves onr citizens generally to keep a sharp look out for the miscreants. Demurest’* Yennjj Atiicricu. The number for July is a gem. Its pic tures, its games, its puzzles, render it uni versally popular among the little ones, while its varied and instructive character equally recommends it to the attention of parents and teachers. The series of French lessons, or the Music, which is a feature, arc alone worth several times the cost of the book. $1.50 yearly. Address W. Jennings Demo rest, -173 Broadway, New York. Sanitary. We are glad to see our sleepy headed city cotemporariea sufficiently aroused, at last, upon the question of drainage, incited by a fear that cholera may stride in this direction. L is pleasant to know, however, that the proper authorities are at work, doing all in their power to remove deposits, etc., which *ould have % tendency to promote disease ,l Ihis season of the year. It now remains for our citizens to do their duty, in seeing that their own premises are in good order; *od for our people, individually—including e ' tors to be prudent, abstemious in diet “hd temperate in fluids, keep cool, pay their ttehts, and all will be well. •“•rterUtoarl. ** Beve ra | alleged violators ol the clauso ot te Ihirty Sixth Section which refers to sc ling liquor on the Sabbath, were before we Court, yesterday : Joseph B.

The youthful Conductors on tho Augusta Street Railway do not become wearied In vicing with each other in the matter of politeness. In this important respect, thoy set an example worthy of imitation by many older heads. Public Hoads. "* We learn with pleasure, nnd note tho fact, that tho Public Roads ol Richmond county never were before in such good condition ; and those indefatigablo officers who have brought this about, deserve, and should receive, the commendation and thanks of onr citizens generally. The County Poor House. We havo thought for eorno days that wc would call attention to this admirably man aged institution, and at a future time design to get together some facts and figures in regard to its presont manage ment and public utility. In tho meantime wo will merely say that it is in a flourishing condition. Hnsonic Female College. The commencement of tho Masonic Female College at Covington comes off to day, and a more appropriate time could not have been selected. Onr readers will re member that the faro on the Georgia Rail road has been reduced one half, to give parties a pleasant recreative ride. Tlirollgli I'nucugfr Arrangement. On the first of July through passenger trains will be run from Augusta and Savan nah to Montgomery, via Millen, Macon, and Columbus, This makes the Montgomery and West Point Railroad a branch from Opelika to West Point, and necessitates two changes of cars by passengers from Mont gomery going North via Atlanta—ono at Opelika and one at West Point. The War of the Skirls. There tile two camps iu the world of Fashion—the fair belligerents contending over the very important question whether Long Skirts or Short Skirts shall carry the day. Les japes comics, or Ic bid des comics jupes —go it, ladies! Couldn’t a compromise be effected? Lot the Shorts prevail for street wear, and the Trains conic in for home and evening costume * Importance of Newspapers. The newspapers of a town or city are its corner stone, its very life blood. Without them it can not prosper. Tho belter they are supported at home, the more powerful their influence will be abroad. The news papers have done more to aid the building up of towns in which they are published, and to rouse their business, than all the merchants together. To the merchants they are indispensable, as those who have used them as a medium through which’ to reach the public well know. And they contribute largely to the prosperity of every citizen, for their influence is felt in a thousand different directions. Insurance Companies a* Detectives It is beyond doubt a fact that Joseph Brown, who was hanged at Hudson, two or three weeks ago, would have gone s :ot-frce, and his horrible Crime escaped detection, but for the Travellers’ Insurance Company, of Hartford, which was interested to the amount of a $5,000 policy. James McCormick, who is to be executed at Fort Dodge, lowa, on the 10th of July, not only committed mur der, but he murdered a policy-holder of the Travellers’, which cost the Company $5,000, and he was brought to speedy justice. The same Company recently brought to life a captain of the late so-called Confederacy after being seven months “drowned.” Eighty thousand dollars insurance in various Life and Accident Companies was the weight that sunk him—which weight was Tetnovid by the prying sharpness of the aforesaid insurance company, which found the captain alive and well, rusticating in Florida. And the Railway Passengers’ Assurance Com pany, not long ago, put an ex M. C. in* jail, and a dishonest agent in the State prison, for forging insurance on a dead man. So long as such companies shall aid the cuds ol justice, in detecting and punishing criminals, as well as conter benefits upon their patrons, we shall rejoice in their success. The modern ‘Gentleman.’ John Ruskin says : “It tuny bo proved with much certainty that God intends no man to live in this world without working”- but, he adds, “it seems to me no less evident that lie intends every man to be happy in his work.” Those are golden words: ‘‘God intends every man to bo happy in his work !” Let us see how this applies to the present state ol' society. Let us look at the ‘young gentleman’ of the period—at the model which multitudes of lads have before them, and which they seek to imitate. Art has done much for him. Rut it is artful, not genuine art. It is the barber’s art, the tailor’s art, the hoot-maker's art, the dancing master’s art, the blackguard’s art, often the art of the bawdy-house pimp 1 This young gentleman of the period has a brain, we suppose: but it conceives no honest work. It has some vigor, and it is not utterly idle. It is not aimless. It has one great, over shadowing aim, desire, end—namely: how to avoid work. A more degraded being can bardly be conceived. A more useless being can not be imagined. A more dangerous person in the community can scarcely ho found. Aguinst an open, disreputable villain you can be on your guard. Not so with the gen tleman of the period. He appears well. He moves gracefully. He is gcorgeously appar elled. One of Solomon's lilies would bear no comparison with him. And he is not without knowledge and culture. l!ut it is the knowledge and culture of everything that is vde and unworthy and contemptible. Excursion Tickels. We find the following in a Macon paper, and publish it, that it may bn generally known by our readers who may design attending the National Democratic Con vetitioa : Important to Know. —Mr. John R. Peck, at Atlanta, writes the following noto to Mr. 11. W. Rronson, of the Macon and Western Railroad : Atlanta, June 20th, 1868. 11. IV. Bronson, M. rfc W. It.

[From the Circular ol Wm. Bryce & Cos. New York Cotton itcvleiv. New York, June 19, 1868. Our last Circular reviewed the market to tho 12th instant, when we quoted Uplands at 10Jd. in Liverpool, and 29c. in this rnarkot. On Sat urday Liverpool was quoted Id. lower, and the market hero was much depressed and fully a cent lowor on grades below Middling; 28c. being t' e price at which the grade itself was offered. On Monday the cable quoted Liverpool 10$ald., with sales of 19,000 halos. No particular change was to bo noted in this market, which was rather steadier on Middlings, but depressed in the other grades. The sales only reached 1,300 bales. On Tuesday the market opened decidedly better, Liverpool having advanced id. on a more active business. The sales here footed up 1,000 bales, I, going to spinners. On Wednesday Liver pool was again quoted better, Uplands JOjalld. On this news holdors demanded fully one oent advance, but were not sustained by buyers, the business being done on a basis of 29Jc.; sales 3,500 bales. On Thursday Liverpool advanced id. Uplands llid.; sales 18,000 bales. On this our market became fairly active, and an advance of ono cent established. To day tho markot has been iirmor and Je. higher on the Liverpool nows. Tho pretensions of holdors havo rather frightenod buyers, and tho transactions are smaller than yesterday. Liverpool closes at lljjtl. for Uplands. Sales of to-day 20,000 hales. Man chester activo. Cablo advices siuco our last report an activo market in Liverpool. Salos of tho week foot up 89,000 bales, of which 15,000 went to exporters, 11, to speculators, and 03,000 to the trade. The stock in port foots up 615,000 bales, of which 364,000 are American. On the water for Ureat Britain there are 561,000 bales, 71,000 being from this country. Our own market for tho week under review, as it will ho noted from tho summary abovo given, has been irregular, but closes decidedly higher than the quotation given in our last circular, fbe demand has been altogether from spinners and speculators. Tho former class still operating with the greatest caution and taking only enough for immediate use. Tho stocks in Balti more, Boston, Providonco and Philadelphia having been reduced to so low a figure, buyers irorn all these points havo been compelled to appear on our market, and it seems likely that the buying for the rest of the season will bo concentrated hero. Tho offering stock on the dull days early in tho week was very fair, but as prices advanced offerings were withdrawn, and at the closo tho assortment on sale is very poor. Middlings are exceedingly scarce, and are rela tively higher than tho grade below. Hood Ordi naries continue abundant, whilo tho demand is extremely limited. Sales for future delivery were quite numerous curly in tho week on a basis of 29c. ior Middling in Scptcmbor, and 2.3 c. fur tho balanco of the season ; delivery at sellers’ option. At the close higher ratos are asked, but we hear of no transactions. Vory fine cottons are not to bo found, hut tho demand for them is equally small, and quotations are nomi nal in tho extreme. - [Advertisement.] IC. it. IC. ltadway’s I'ills, Are the only purgative, alterative, and cathartic medicine that secures a vegetable substitute for mercury or calomel. They cure with astonishing rapidity liver com plaints, kidney diseases, irritation of the bladder, piles, biliousness, Jaundice, dys pepsia, costiveness, ladies’ complaints, and all diseases indicating the necessity of a purgative medicine. Aged people, subject to costiveness, or paralysis of the bowels, are quickly cured by these pills. A gentleman, aged eighty years, who had not enjoyed a natural discharge from the bowels for nearly 40 years, and was always compelled to resort to injections, was re lieved by one dose; and by taking four pills each night for one month, was restored to sound health and regularity. These Pills purify the blood, remove all obstructions from the bowels, liver, skin, spleen, bladder, etc., and purge out all corrupt and acrimonious humors. A few days’ use of these pills will make the skin smooth, clear, pure, and healthy. They increase the appetite and flesh. Dose—For regulating the liver, stomach, bowels, and promoting digestion, one pill at night. For obstinate diseases and chronic complaints, 4 to 6 every 24 hours. Price, 2o cents per box.

Washington, June 23.—The attempted ousting of Edgar Needham from the Louis ville Asscssorehip is making a big light. Nearly all of Kentucky is engaged. In the Senate, the credentials of the Arkansas Senators were presented and read, but no action taken. Paine offered a resolution that the oath be administered lo the Arkansas members, but, on the suggestion of Maynard and ochers, the resolution was 'modified, and passed, referring their credentials to the Committee on Elections. Sumner’s amendment to tho bill protecting American citizens erases the clause author izing the President to imprison foreigners in retaliation. During discussion, Sumner told Conkling that his manners suited the House better than the Senate. Cablegrams.

O O HAD THE FOLLOWING LETTER FROM Xtßov. K. Telford. Missionary in Qiina, now visiting his home in Pennsylvania: Pa., June2s, 1860. Messrs. Perry Davis & Son, Providence, It. 1.: Dear Sirs—Daring a residence of some ten years as a Missionary in Siam and China, I found your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable remedy for that fearful scourge, the Cholera. In administering the medicine, I found it most effectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a gill of hot wp.ter sweetened with sugar; then, after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table spoonful ot the same mixture every minute until relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to the extremities. Bathe the stomach with Pain Killer, clear and rub the limbs briskly. Os those who had the cholera, and took the medicine faith fully iu the way stated above, eight out of ten recovered. Yours, truly, R Telford. If au attack with Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or Cramp Colic, don’t delay the use of the' Pain Killer. Sold by all medicine dealers. Price, 25 cents, 50 cents, and? 1 per bottle. Manhattan, Kansas, April 17, 1860. Gentlemen— * * ' I want to say a little more about, the Pain Killer. I consider it a very valuable medicine, and always keep it ou baud. I have travelled a good deal since I have been in Kansas, and never without taking it with me, In my practice I used it freely for tile Asiatic Cholera, in 1849, and with better success than any other medicine ; I also used it here for cholera in 1855, with the same good result. Truly, yours, ' A. HUNTING, M. D. Swato, China. Cholcia! * * * I regret to say that the cholera lias prevailed here of late to a fearful extent. For the last three weeks, from ten to fifty or sixty fatal cases each day has been re ported. I should add that tho Pain Killer, sent recently trom the Mission House, has been used with considerable success during tbis epidemic. If taken in season is generally effectual in check ing the disease, Rev. CHARLES HARDINIG, Sholapore, India. [From the Portland Monthly.l Summer Complaint and Dysentery. Bowel complaints seem just now to he tho prevailing element, and any medicine that is everywhere acceptable, aud that is reliable, is a very desirable acquisition. From what we have seen, heard, and experienced, we believe Davis' Pain Killer is tiiis desideratum. For the best method of using it, we quote from the directions: “For common bowel complaints, give one tea spoonful in a gill of new milk and molasses, in equal parts, stirred well together; lessen the dose lor children, according to the age. If the pain he severe, bathe the bowels aud back with the medi cine. This mode of treatment is good in cases of the cholera morbns, sudden stoppages, etc. Re peat the dose every hour. “The quickest way 1 ever saw the dysentery cured was by taking one spoonful of the Pain Killer in one gill ot milk and molasses stirred well together aud drank hot, at the same time bathing the bowels freely with medicine. Let the dose he repeated every hour until the patient is relieved.” If every person who has reason to fear this disease would provide themselves with a bottle of this medicine, and use as occasion required, we believe a great amount of suffering and sickness would be saved. jel2—2m INSTJIANC Fire, Marine, Inland AND ACCIIMIIIMd jEtna Insurance Company, .
