The New Era, Atlanta, comes to this of fice very irregularly. Why (is- this thus, Doctor ? A Treat in Store. We learn that our distinguished fellow citizen, Hon. Henry W. Hilliard, is to deliver an oration before the Literary So ciety at Oxford, on Wednesday, 22d instant. Our Police. Messrs. Editors —In your issue of ibis morning an article appeals, copied from the the Savannah Republican, seriously reflect ing upon certain police officers of this in connection with the arrest of three thieves from Savannah. It does great injustice to the arresting officers, as well as myself, as officer of the night, and I must ask that you publish the following plain statement of the sac s: Upon the arrival of the train from Sa vannah, on last Sunday morning, the con ductor called the attention of Messrs. Palmer and Reynolds (pblicemea) to four suspicious persons hailing from Savannah, and remark ed that a dispatch would doubtless be received from Savannah during the day. Three of the party were arrested and brought to Police Headquarters, where they were searched, and the money counted in my presence, amounting to thirty one dollars and forty cents. On the next morning one of the thieves complained of having had more money than we had received from him, but accounted for it by allowing the thief who had made his escape, to take charge of his money on the train. The statement was also confirmed by Herschel, .another one of the thieves. The statement, as published in the Re publican, upon the whole, is a base lie, and must have emanated from the thieves, and, doubtless, at the instigation of some one who is an expert at the business. I am only surprised that the Savannah editor should allow himself to be made the tool of such parties, for it is well known that no thief has a good opinion of the law or its officers. Charles Evans, • Lieutenant of Police. Wo find the above in yesterday’s Chroni cle—it speaks tor itself. Os course our amia ble cotemporary up street was actuated by no improper animus in copying the Savannah Republican'a article without making any inquiry as to the facts in the case. But our efficient policemen need no de fence. The right-minded citizens of Augusta 1 know them to be men of the right stamp ( and they algo know that our constabulary will compare most favorably with that of any city in the Union. . r*~ - • Itloaqnitnes. These little plagues are now becoming quite furious in their assaults on mankind. We think, therefore, that we will repress many bad adjectives, and deserve well of our fellow-sufferers, by publishing the fob lowing simple means of driving them f;om the room, for which we arc indebted to the Gainesville (Fla-) New Era, and which vouches for its efficacy: “Take of gnm camphor a jiieec about one-third the size of an egg, and evaporate it by placing it in a tin vessel, and holding it over a lamp or candle, taking care that it does not ignite. The smoke will soon fill the room and expel, the mosquitoes.’’ Coal OH .Occidents. Almost every day we read of accidents caused by the explosion of coal oil lamps. Too much care can not be exercised about procuring first class oil; and the lamp should be securely placed in a room. Three fourths of the coal oil refined—we are assured by the best authorities in such matters—are exported, and three fourths of the oil used is of an inferior quality, and dangerous to the lives of the people. Dealers who retail oil that will not bear the fire test—a test that all persons are competent to make and understand—should be dealt with iu the most severe terms known to the law. And then a lamp should not'be placed on a table or stand which does not stand steadily, or whore it is in danger of being Tt by young folks. A coal oil lamp ould not be lighted in a room where there •s a party, unload it be placed out of reach °f the festive young people. But be sure that your coal oil will stand a heat of at least one hundred and ten degrees. We repeat the test: Fill a tumbler about two thirds full of water—not too cold—and put 'ate it about half a teaspoonful of coal oil. Stir the water well with the teaspoon, and then light a match and hold it over the water on a line with the top of the tumbler. 11 the vapor takes fire, return the coal oil to the dealer from whom you obtained it, and get your money. By no means use it. - r<• ipmciuj - r ■ City Council Pwcoedings, LEGULAR MEETING. > Augusta, July 14—5 P. M. $ Council met. Present: Hon.

There has been largo amounts expended during the last year, in the building and repairing of dams, embankments, and the building and repairing oi bridges, of which there are twenty-four or more connected with and kept in repair by the canal hands. Most of the works connected with the canal are now in a good state of repair, and, with careful attention, it is believed that the expenses may, for several years to come, bo materially reduced, unless Council should decide to remove, by dredging or some other means, the sediment deposited, and bring deposited, in the bottom of the canal, which is materially and gradually filling up the bed of the water-way at several points, thereby diminishing the quantity of water furnished, as well as destroying its effective force Respectfully submitted.

That portion of it relative to an auxili ary steam engine was referred to the Special Committee on Water W’orks. Auousta, Ga., July Ist, 1.36& Hon. Sumu'l Itry, Ci S- Committee o» Punier Wbrfcs r €ia—The works under the charge of your Conrmitteo are in their usual working order. The work at the Basins has been steadily pro gressing, and the middle banks, as they are called, may now be considered safe.; As oppor tunity offers the outside banks will be made up, and it is hoped the work of sodding them will soon be commenced. . Here I beg leave to most respectfully suggest to your Committee the discuuien of the question as to whether it will M best to carfy out the intention of sodding with grass, or to make the receut arrangement for procuring stone for the “Chain Gang” avail able in this case. There can be no doubt us to the superior advantages of securing our basin banks with stone ; and if the “Chain Gang” can be used economically for that purpose, as I think it e»u, I hope your Committee will use its influence to give the labors of that gang that direction. The present repairs, finished with sodding, will protect these banks probably for another ten years; but with stone they may be made permanent, and with very slight repairs be made to last for an indefinite period. The Augusta Water Works could,.perhaps, claim some preference, but this Is a matter I leave to your Committee, only hoping that at the proper time the merits of our Weeks will be duly ac knowledged. Daring the mouth just passed we have had considerable trouble with the 16 inch pipe lead ing from the Pump House over the 3d Level of the Can'al. This pipe being exposed to all the variations of the temperature of the present sea son, has leaked considerably and require* con stant attention to keep tho joints tight. The only remedy is a covering of earth—this has been suggested from time to time, and it is hoped the financial condition of tho Treasury as wellas the acknowledged importance of keeping these Works fully up to their standard of usriulness, will seen justify the expense of filling up with earth, and thus protecting this part of the work from failure. In immediate connection with this matter I may as well remind your Committee that I have for years solicited permission to make some ar rangements for an aux Hilary steam engine for these works. For near ten the present works havo been in constant operation, and as in the nature of things, even oast iron, of the best workmanship, will wear out, it is reasonable to expect that the ten years es constant work of our water wheel and pumps would indicate the ne cessity for overhauling aud repairs. To stop those works for a day uow, or perhaps ten days, would be a groat and very serious public inconve nience, and your Committee must feel with me the great responsibility of meeting the public censure in case of a sudden and unprovided for breaking down of the works. I hope your Com mittee and tho City Council will take this matter into tho consideration it merits, and by some systematic management of the water-supply to eity, provide for all the contingencies to which such works are liable. There were three fires during the monib, at all of which the water from our works was suc cessfully used. As the work on the Basins progressed, andjjie middle banks were properly secured, it was deemed oxpedion t to reduce the force of laborers, and we have now only thirteen hands at work. At the request of the Chairman of the Powder Magazine Committee, I have loaned him these hands, and they are now and will be engaged for a few days more, in grading and fixing up tho grounds and approaches to the Magazine. I beg leave to submit the accompanying re port, of the Assistant Engineer, of the work done in June, 1866, 1867, and 1868, showing that in June, 1866, the supply by these works to tho city was 5,809,525 gallons; in 1867, for the same month, the supply was 7,675,695 gallons; aud for tho present year, 10,562,825 gallon* in June. Th id indicates a large increase in the use of water from our works, both for public and domestic purposes, and I hope will have some effect in showing how important it is that the works should be completed as early as the financial condition of the city will permit. Respectfully, your obedient servant, William Phillips, Engineer A. W. W. The accounts, salaries, ettf., properly audited, were ordered to be f aid. Council then adjourned. • Attest: JAMBS N. ELLS, Clerk of Council. OUR ATLANTA LETTER. Atlanta, Ga., July 13, 1868. Mr. Editor: After a holy Sabbath day of rest, during which, no doubt, eager and anxious politicians were busy in pressing their claims upon those who hold their political destinies in their hands, the work of the Legislature was resumed; in right good, earnest, th’s morning. The ball opened by a resumption of tho unfinished business' of Saturday, viz.: the considera tion of the motion of Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, to reconsider the resolution ap pointing a committee to investigate the eligibility of members. Mr. Bryant, having the floor, resumed his argument, and for thirty minutes dealt some sledge hammer blows upon his prede cessor, Mr. Scott. The leadership of the Republican party in the House is being contested by Messrs. Bryant and O'Neal. Both Reserve it, aud for the sake of harmony it is hoped that they niay consent to divide the honor. After some cursory remarks by Messrs. Harper and Terrell, and Shumate, of Whit fie'd, the question was called and the motion to reconsider was lost by a vote of— yeas, 78; nqys, 82, , which is, doubtless, a strict party vote. The committee appointed under the reso iiftiod to investigate the eligibility of mem bers o'Otieiste of O'Neal, of Lowndes; Shumate, of Whitfield ; Harper, of Terrell; and LeG and Bryant—two Republicans, two Democrats, and one conservative, After this action, the House adjourned till 10 o’clock a. nt., Thursday. The gallery is crowded daily with whites aud blacks of the male persuasion, and, notwithstanding the House has appropriated one ha'f of the gallery to the ladies and gentlemen attendants, noue honor the House with their presence. Perhaps the hot weather, and the close, hot atmosphere of the hall, is the cause—for I assure you it 'is hot—awfully hot, both iu and out of doors. The House, as you already know, has adjourned till Thursday neat. By that day Iho committee will, doubtless, have investi gated the cases of all who are charged with ineligibility. Baldwin.

Buchanan, New Orleans, July 14.—After the in auguration, yesterday, Gov. Warmoth sent a communication to Gen. Buchanan official ly notifying the latteb of the ratification of the XIV Article of the Amendment, also, of Warmoth’s inauguration. On receipt of this commnnication, Gen.. Buchanan issued an order, of which the following is an ex tract : “The Commanding General having been officially notified of the ratification of the ratification of the XIV Article of tho Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, by the Legislature of the State of-Louisiana, on the 9th inst, it be comes his duty, under an act of Congress which became a law June 25th, 1868, and ths orders of the General of the Army, to an nounce to the people of the State and to .the troops under his command, that the provi sions of the Recouslruelion Acis of Congress will cease to operate in Louisiana from this date, and military authority will no longer be exercised under the Reconstruction Acts in said State, and all officers commanding posts or detachments are forbidden to inter fere in civil affairs unless upon a proper application by the civil authorities .to pre serve the peace, or under instructions duly received from the commanding General of the district.” Military law no longer exists. The civil law is supreme. An order states that all civil officers, acting under military appointments, will transfer their offices, and everything per taining thereto, to their successors, who have been declared duly elected, and who have qualified under the laws of the State. The order concludes with congratulations to the people of Louisiana upon restoration to the Union and good wishes in future. From North Carolina. Rai.kich, July 14.—The proceedings qf tbo {Jenera!

Governor Holden, yesterday, without notice, appointed a new Board of Commis sioners for this city, thus supplanting, with out law, the municipal authorities of tie city. The authorities, believing that the Governor had usurped or transcended, his powers, referred the case to the following counsel: Messrs. B. F. Moore, Col. E. G. Haywood, and. Judge Merrimou, of, this city. The counsel were unanimously of the opinion that the Governor was acting without law oi authority, and so advised the city authorities; upon which the city authorities notified the new Board that they should not give place to them until they were legally elected or appointed. • It is rumored that Governor Holden has called upon General Cauby to allow him military support to enforce his order. — - South Carolina Legislature. Columbia, July 14.—The Legislature, to day, elected Thomas J. Robertson as United States Senator for the short term, ending 1871. The Senate, on the fifth- ballot, elected F. A.
