THE
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
OF AUGUSTA, GA.
SUBSCRIBE FOR IT.
The present Presidential campaign in
volves more momentous consequences than
any previous political contest in the history
ot the country. The people of Georgia are
deeply interested in the result, and will,
therefore, look forward to the developments
of the campaign with increasing interest.
The dissemination of reliable news, and of
sound constitutional views on the important
issues of the day are essential to the success
of the Republican party.
To supply in a measure this need, we wil
mail The National Republican for any
four months prior to January 1, 1869, at the
low rate of $1.50.
We appeal to the old supporters of the
Republican to aid' us in extending its
circulation. We pledge ourselves to devote
all our energy and ability to the suecess’of
the great cause in which the Union Repub
lican Party is embarked; and to spare
neither labor nor expense in making The
National Republican a useful and reliable
newspaper.
Specimen copies sent free to any address.
Col. C. It. llanlcller.
We take pleasure in announcing that we
have perfected arrangements whereby the
typographical superintendence ot this office
will be under the management of Col. G. R.
llanleiter, the veteran and well known
Printer who has no superior, in his avoca
tion, on the continent. In the absence of
Mr. Pughe, Col. 11. will be found at the
office, 190 Broad street,- prepared to receive
orders and contract for all kinds of Printing,
which will be executed in the best style
and on the most reasonable terms.
Recorder’* Court.
'One more unfortunate’ colored damsel,
for a bfeach of the peace,, yesterday, was
sent to jail.
Health.
So far as we arc able to learn, the health
of the city is in a remarkable good condi
tion. Yet our people can ’ not be too pru
dent during the existence of the heated
term. Use limo, and clean up. Self,
preservation is one of the first laws of nature-

Mr. Quinn sends us u copy of Godby’s
Lady's Book, for August. Every one fond
of polite and elegant literature should seek
an opportunity to procure this magazine,
Quinn can supply you, at his literary depot,
on the other side of the Street.
Huckleberry.
Webster’s definition is “ The berry called
also Whortleberry." His definition of the
>laut is “ A plant or shrub of the genus
i’accinium, called more commonly huckle
berry ; much esteemed for food.” The same
is heart-berg in Saxon. The Germans call
it heidle beere. In conversation the ma
jority ol persons call it the ‘ huckleberry,’
but in writing will spell it ‘ whortleberry.’
We believe it is as allowable to write the
word ‘huckleberry’ as to pronounce it so.
Potion Kolla.
Governor Pickens has left with the editor
if the Edgefield Advertiser two full grown
Cotton bolls, plucked ou the 11th, from hik
fields on which neither guano or bone dust
were used. The Governor says the drouth
cheeked the growth of the Cotton, but that
it is fruiting and bearing well, and is only
about six days behind a good crop year.
The Governor predicts that the crop of 1868
will not exceed 2,000,000 bales.

'iiiutuer Complaint of Children.
This is the season of the year when cholera
infantum stud diarrhea are very prevalent
iniong infant children. We, therefore, give
m excellent remedy, and ask for it publicity,
owit: An equal part each of laudanum,
tincture of rhubarb, essence of peppermint,
and spirits of camphor, (mix.) Dose for a
child six months old, two drops; dose for a
child 12 months old, lour drops ; dose fora
child two years old, eight drojis. Co -be
given in sweetened water, and repeat the
lose, if necessary, onee iu 12 hours. This
is a very eheap medicine for the poor, as
half an ounce of the mixture (a drachm
each ingredient) will cost but a few cents.
I'e Purify a Room.
Set a pitcher of water in a room, and in a
lew hours it will have absorbed all the
respired gases in the room, the air of which
have become purer, but the water utterly
hhhy. The colder the water is the greater
opacity to contain these gases. At ordinary
leinperatures a pail of water will contain a
fiut of carbonic acid gas, and several pints
of ammonia. The capacity is nearly doubled
hy reducing the water to a temjlerattrtte of
* ce - Hence, water kept in the room awhile
is always unfit for use. For the same reason,
the water from a pump should always be
pumped out in the morning, before any of it
ls used. Impure water is more injurious
than impure air.
Labor.
0 i- t are well aware that in torrid
ufocio Btutcj Inwsjl sponta
neously feeds the people, there is nothing
like the energy or skill which is displayed
by the denizens of more inclement climates.
The former bfong. called upon for no great
exertion to supply thdiifoelves vAlh food,
raiment, or shelter, suffer their powers to
attain a listlessness which is incompatible
with vigor of body or mind. They arrive at
puberty early, and as early decay. Their
muscubr developinenj, >• indoiuplelo for
want of exercise, and their mental powers,
for want of- proper stimulation, remain dor
m limit.
The laboring classes, while they desire
employment, must understand that their
efforts are beneficial to. their employers.
If not, their worlFis performed with listless
ness, and is unsatisfactory, both to them
and to those who employ them. They,
as well as their more favored brethren,
are bcund to repair the waste which is
constantly going on. This is the condition
of human ■ tfevi lopnient, and it applies
equally to the Hch and ly the poor. If
the wealthy do not supervise their
estates, those estates will speedily fall
into ruins. If the ““poor discontinue their
accustomed labor, they must either steal or
Starve, unless they are provided for by
eleemosynary aid. And to just the extent
that such aid is provided, they are rendered
useless members of society. They lose their
Self-respdbt, and become the lowest grade
of non-produeers. They arc a burden to
society, and also to themselves. To say
nothing of the consciousness of living
without contributing their proper.quota to
the advancement of society, idleness begets
recklessness, and crime almost invariably
foMows. Better, far better, to provide some
steady, beneficial occupation than to offer a
premium to idleness through our eleemosyn
ary institutions, which should be devoted to
the aged, the infirm, and to those who have
dot the mental or physical capacity to keep
up with the demands of the age. All others
should be provided with employment of the
kind which they are qualified to perform,
and they should be compelled to perform
slich labor both for the benefit of society
and for their own.
••G.C.”
There has been a great sneculation
among the country psopfo in regard to the
cabalistic letters Which bate appealed upon
the wings of the locusts at their different
advents. Happily we are now prepared to
settle this question, for the present, at least.
It is this: the G and C so universally seen
on the wings of locusts hereabouts, are the
initials of Grant and Colfax. This is a
most startling and wbolespme revelation,
when we take into consideration the mar
velous revelations made by these singular
little insects in'The past. In 1783 they
appeared with a W on tbeir wings, which
indicated the election of the illustrious
Washington to the Presidency ; in 1800
they wore an 31 which predicted the election
of James Madison ; and in 1817, again an
M, which indicated James Monroe; in
1834 it was pretty badly mixed, owing to
-“Matty Van” and others, but in 1851 they
came out strong with a P which pointed to
Pierce, and now in 1868, the G and 0 settle
the question.
The “Heated Term.”
Ihe prevailing weather is somewhat war
mer than is usual at this season*, and it seems
to tell with more than the ordiuary effect
upon the people of this community.
Every one who can slfoufd avoid undue
excitement while the heated term prevails.
-The use of strong drink should in every
case be avoided ; but where it may be im
possible to cpld-shoulder it altogether, it
should be partaken of very sparing. The
man who inflames his blood and excites bis
nervous system with alcohol, wbifo foe’
mercury ranges towards the nineties, is
almost as culpable as if he took small doses
of arsenic or strycliine. Copious draughts
of iced drinks ought .to he eschewed also.
No human being needs to drink after the
fashion of the horse.
Thirst is quenched by wetting the lips and
mouth, and not by drenching and deluging
the stomach. There iB no great objection to
iced water, providing the individual partak
ing of it is cool. It is tempting -sudden
•death, or, at least, a serious attack of illness,
to swallow iced waiter while yon are in a
condition of.extreme heat.
Exposure for longer than two or three
minutes at a time to the power of the sun's
rays should be fqared and shunned. ’
All violent exorcises at this time is evil,
and will make serfous disturbances with even
the strongest constitutions.
Keep quiet, calm-minded and sober ; eat
sparingly; don’tl ‘MWiIV’ <fven temperance
beverages ; walk at a moderate pace ; carry
an umbrella if you can; live on fruits as
much as possible ; go to bed and rise early,
and you will-get through with the “'heated
terta” safely and happily.

Mr. Editor: The Republican party of
Georgia is fortuqate in possessing one so
clear beaded ami able as the Hou. J. V* .
.O’Neal, repreaenfMivo, in the House «f
Representatives, from the county of Lowndes.
Mr. O’Neal possesses all the elementsofa
party leader, and is unquestionably destined
to become our leader in the body of which
he is a member. He is modest, unassuming
and willing to work harmoniously with the
majority of his party, and never threatens to
head another Republican organization nt the
expense of disastrous defeat. The party
expects modi of Mr. O'Neal, and from my
knowledge*of the man, they will not be dis
appointed. E.

AGRICULTURAL.
Facts for the Farmers and Gar
desers. —English farmers believe that “hill
ing up’’ potatoes reduces their yield one
fourth. They do not ripen as well.
Soft Soap suds will be found valuable for
gardens aud yards of sandy soil—and almost
any other, for all that. Suds from bar soap
are of less value-
Every farmer ought to know that cut
nails, heated red hpt and dropped into
water, will clinch as well as wrought nails.
Currants, to do their best, must be freely
pruned aud heavily mulched.
Beans are a most nutritious food for man
or beast. For men and dogs they should be
cooked ; for sheep, raw.
Many women are becoming bee keepers
asd making ffioney at it. They are Act the
kind t hpwever, that squeal at the sight of
spiders.
Sheep kept with cows lire not so apt to be
killed by dogs as when alone. The cows
light for them.
Potatoes can be grown much earlier by
sprouting them. Piace them on,a layer of
mianitre and cover them with sand. Trans
plant the middle of May.
It is said that the last cup ol milk drawn
from the cow —the ‘'slrippings”-—ci>ntuins
sixteen times as much eream as the first cup.
We will not vouch for tlje exact figures, but
the true ones are large.
It ta just as easy to raise n. bushel of good
apples as a bushel of poor ones. What is a
dollar or two of extra prel*minary expenses
in getting good trees?
The Department of Agriculture says that
ten million bushels of wheat are wasted in
this country auuualfy by bud sowing—too
deep, to shallow, too thin, too uneven.
Clean out the cellars “about this time,”
an<l give them a thorough airing. It is about
as safe to live over a gunpowder magazine
us over the filth afld poisonous odors of some
cellars. But sucJ stuff doesn’t poison your
it there.
The apple trey, makes a geod hedge, but
die wilder aud poorer the variety, the thorn
ier and better for that purpose.
Solon Rofopion says: t’Food should never
be given to fowls nnlese they are hungry
enough to go crazy after it.” Doubted
hens will do first rate with corn lying by
them all the time.
John Johnson says that one load of ma
nure as top dressing is worth two plowed
under on stiff Lind.
London dairy men have decided that the
most profitable cows are graded short horns.'
Nqt that they give more milk, but they
miflte "the most beef when past milking.
Multitudes of farm accidents happen
belauije nuts on ruluiing gear are not looked
affor and kept tight. Five minutes attention
eadli day, wrendi in hand, is the remedy,
Early hatched chickens make early layers
nest winter.
Whete bees forage on grazing lands, all
thel honey they get is so much sweetness
