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- Godey. 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. r; — '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. —• A Cooling; Device.

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. • *♦* • V - [Froiii <be Intelligencer. The Georgia Legislature. SENATE.

Mr. Higbee offered the following resolu tion : Resolved, That the committee appointed to inquire into tin* eligibility of each Senator, be further instructed to inquire into the eligibility of officers of the Senate.

Mr. Candler offend the following resolu tion : Resolved, That, the Provisional Governor be requested to transmit at once, to the Senate, the papers and such other evidences whiSh may be in his possession, having reference to eligibility of Senators under what is known as the Constitutional Amend ment, article fourteen, and when received, the Secretary of the Senate be directed to turn over the same to the special committee appointed to investigate the eligibility of' Senators under said Amendment. Mr. Higbee moved to amend by striking out the word “al once,” which, alter a short discussion, in which Messrs. Candler, Higbee, Campbell, Adkins and Smith participated, was lost. The previous question was then called, and the resolution of Mr. Candler was adopted. The Senate then adjourned until Friday morning, 10 o’clock. 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 and nn|riment taken from the pasturage. It ip not certain that the loss is not a serious onsto the dairy. COMMERCIAL.

From North Carolina Raleigh, July 19. —Municipal difficul ties are quiet—old Board still in. The new Board is not disposed to press their claim. Gon. Canby refused to interfere unless shown that legal and constitutional authority was resisted. This not being done, the proposed raid on the old Municipal authorities missed fire. The Legislature has not done much general legislation. The temper of the Legislative body is decidedly against mixed schools or mixed militia. A bill is before the House authorizing the Governor to appoint Municipal officers. It is said to be an extraordinary affair. The Governor seems to have started in with the ideas he had when Provisional Governor as regards power to appoint officers. South Carolina Legislature Columbia, July 16. —Fred. A.
