I Major Braytou, Commandant of this Pout [has returned to the city from Atlanta, where [he was on duly as a member of the Military |Court for the trial of the Columbus prisoners. - The Hi gill Man Found. The public will remember the recent trial by court marshall of young Cody, of Warrenton, charged with the murder of a United States soldier in that town, in March hist. Mr. Cody was acquitted. We learn that the military are now satisfied they have discovered the really guilty party, in the person of a colored man. —, ♦ » A aiulluy Frustrated. At the Jail, on Sunday morning, quite a number of the colored prisoners refused fd_ don the ‘new clothes' which had been pre pared for the inmates. Alderman Levy, acting Mayor, was notified of this refusal, and he told the Jailor to act promptly in the matter as he thought best. The upshot of the mutiny was the “bucking” of twenty nine of the party adverse to wearing the new striped uniform. Yesterday morning, they, properly equipped, fell into line among the* rock breakers. Kcnconlre. At nine o'clock last evening a shooting affray occurred in front of Schneider's restaurant, in which two police officers (Chief Dili,on and Lieutenant Evans) and two citizens, 1 Coay.Lius A. Bel, and Alexander Phillip were more or less hurt. The facts, as we learned them from an eye-witness, are these : At the hour named above, two or three men were making a dis turbance in tbe street, and were asked to desist by the policeman on that beat.— The policeman was cursed by one of tho party, and told to go about his business. He then gave the signal rap, which was heard by officers Dillon and Evans on Broad street, who at once came to his rescue, while the disturbance was in progress. Chief Dillon told them the quarrelling must cease, when Louts Picquet cursed him considerably. The Chief started toward PtcquET, when a ball was fired through his body by a pistol in the hand of Red. Dillon then tired at Red, and several other shots were exchanged in the crowd, one hitting Phillip. Lt. Evans was cut in the forehead with a’cane. We deeply regret this occurrence, and Were pained*o learn, at a late hour last evening, that Mr. Red’s wounds were con sidered of a fatal character. A spectator issured us that Red showed every disposition o quiet the fracas, until PICQUET, by his persistent abuse of Dillon, caused the latter io threaten to put P. in the guard house and Started towards him. ’ PicquET was subsequently arrested and placed, in jail. It is thought the Chief will soon recover. The ball was extracted by Dr. Campbell I Os Mr. Phillips’injuries we could gather no reliable information. i Our Worklnß Min. That city which so shapes its policy as to attract working men, has, in the estimation ot all sound thinkers, solved »ne of the most important problems in regard to growth and prosperity. The working trfan is the indispensable essential; withont him there is no advance ment. A city made up of doctors, lawyers, politicians, bankers and merchants, would soon be overgrown with moss, moth-eaten, and would soon disappear. It would have no vitality, force, influence, or importance. The live element iu all communities is the working man. They carry forward the industrial enterprises of the world ; they level the forests,, bridge the rivers, tunnel the mountains, dig the canals and frame the locomotives ; they build the cities, and cul tivate the fields ; they invent and construct; they manipulate the keys of machinery, and 6,1 'hejrWe-i’ II Brasseil the P Floyd— D Scott, and M Ballanger civilization/firtr Uff l ' Wjlk sun-burnt face and brawny arms toespv. , Hat( •nan ‘for 'a that-’ There are ever coming forward from the representatives ot the plow, loom and anvil men who shape tbe destinies of nations—men n f large braiu views, who received their gradu'w Ng diplomas in work shops, and whose words on questions affecting the material interests of tbe State outweigh the unpractical themes and ephemeral logic °f the mere bookworm. Augusta needs men of this element, to organize and push forward industrial enter prises ; and still more Augusta needs a '•berai policy which will induce working men to make it their homes. Tho workingmen, whate'er tbeir task, To carve the stone or bear the hod— They wear upon their honest brow?* The royal stamp and seal of God ? An 4l brighter are their drops of sweat Than diamonds in a coronet! [Communicated. Mr. I'. 'i-urs- Is itßnt a little curjpu. :li it tho “Baby Wiiker” and “Bob Toombs,” who were so very conspicuous in the early days of the rebellion, should have paraded them selves in thy Dunoeratic day, at Atlanta?

In the assertion of their right), no matter by whom waked up, they may be assured that Grant will afford them all the military aid they may require, and Colfax will secure them from that bogus statesmanship which' while it preaches _• qutili'y, practically in3i cates subserviency amr slavery.

Highwaymen on the Augusta Road.— About noon, ofk'riday last, a farmer, named Clanton, from Screven county, who had been to tils city with produce, was quietly walkinghomeward, on the Augusta Road ; when, abouktwo miles from tho city, three neupeK armed-%ith guns, jumped from out of athiexet and assaulted nim. They benrt hirtt about the head and body very severely, lufllctlnw serious injuries, and also robbed hiin of a small amount of money which was in Kia pocket. It happened very fortunately that after disposing of his produce. Mr. Clanton had given the money received for it to his son and sent him on ahead in bis cart. He rcinained iu town awhile, transacting some business, and was walking with a view of overtaking Lis sou when attacked ; the high waymen were therefore baulked of the spoils which they anticipated finding upon Lis person. It is reported that these parties who prowl übenft hi. Idcklity where this outrage was cmnirfifti 9,- lak.t week, murdered and robbed a while man, wham they buried along the ruaffijiw'.* The report of the matter has been inii4ii,ji>Hie proper authorities, and we pre sung an iuvestigatiou will be made to ascer tain ibe truth ofrefie report. The tuitlit»ilies should make a vigorous effort to stop the ojicralions of, and bring thcteMghwaymcu io grief. Parsons traversing tbo.ft»ds had better be prepared for any emergency, and the midaot justice willsurely be satisfied, if these villains attack some determined party, who is prepared for them, and who knows how to shoot straight. [Sarannah Republican. |BY [Special to the Augusta Republican. Georgia L gislature. A’l'i Inta, Ga., July 27—I’. M. A THH'lirtlmi passed Ixith Houses, stopping levy and sale on debt contracted since the war. House parsed a resolulrox desiring the Governor to announce, by proclamation, thai'l military rnle is at au end, and civil authority has been restored. T|u: following bills were introduced in the House: Two bills prohibiting the sale of lottery tickets; three bills having reference to a stay law ; bill for reorganizing the militia ; bill aliqlishing pistriM Courts established by the new Constitution. The Senate refused to reconsider its action on Mr. Candler’s resolution for the Commit tee on Privileges and Elections to report whether negroes have the right to hold office. A• ‘ ” rqwMal Dispatch to the Augusta Republican.] U- S. Senatorship. viAi lasta, Ga., July 27, 1868. ’Fire House resolution iti reference to State -11 otwe officers' elealioit was amended so as to ihfltiHe United StntAs Senators. The Democwt# have selected as their candidates : Gen. Wofford for the long term, and W. H. V. Miller for the short term. Washington Items. Washington, July 26.—The bill reducing the army came up in regular order in the House, and, by a test vote, was referred to a committee by a majority of four votes. One section of the bill armed thef loyal militia of tin South. 'This result kills it for the present Session. • The Senate confirmed Robert A. Craw ford as Collector of Customs at Brazos de Santiago, Texas, and rejected Gen. Jeffries as Comntissionur of Internal Revenue. The hills arming the Southern militia and n the governments of Mississippi, Texas and Louisiana are undoubtedly dead until after the recess. Tbe President has nominated J. J. .Tohu son GoUeclor of Internal Revenue for die Third Louisiana District, and Dorsey B. Thomas Collector of Customs for New Orleans. There was quite an exciting time in the Senate lust night over the amount due Southern Senators. Mr. Trumbull’s motion j*ives them each some $7,000, but tbe rule as it eventually passed gives them about S4OO. Some of them' spoke in their own behalf on this important subject, and were alrnut to V»to in their own behalf but were check ed by the rules of tbe Senate. The House met ut 9 o’clock in the ntorn tngjand close»-«a n. No additional legislation »fiocti U £ the South is possible. Washington, July 27. —Congress has abolished export duty on coffee. The Funding bill has passed both Houses. The bill reorganizing Mississippi, Virginia and Texas came up in the Senate. Mr. But kulew took the floor to argue it, when Conkling said it was useless to try to pass the bill, and, on his motion, it was tabled. A bill passed removing the disabilities from’Nel sou Tift. Geti. Young was seated as Representative from Georgia, The House fillibustered on the Tariff bill to adjournment. Both Houses are adjourned to the third Monday ia Septemlaer. The Senate rejected Johnson and Sewell for Col lector and Assessor of the Third Lou isiana District, and reconsidered the vote copfiriuing Second V’irginia District, and rt jcyied Hill. There is so much confusion it is impossi ble to give the position of several important bills, but all affecting the South, of an ag gressive character, liave failed. Nelson Tift, from Georgia, has been admitted to his seat in the House. The Funding bill passed the House by a a votk of 102 to 32. Simeon Corley, a Represeutative from South Carolina, has been seated. The Senate confirmed Gen. Rosencranz as Minister to Mexico, Enos D, Hodge as Associate Justice of the .Supreme Court, Lewis Wolfley as Assessor of Internal Reve nue of the First District of Louisiana, and rejeoted Simeon M. Johnson as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. The President nominated Alexander Cum mings, of Pennsylvania, for Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Three more of the Express robbers have been hung by a mob, near Seymour, Indiana. The President called no special session of the Senate. This leaves many importantoffices vacant. The President was at the Capitol from 10J fo> 12 o’clock. All bills were signed except the Funding bill, which, however, the President can sign any time within ten days. The Republican members of Congress have signed an agreement that they will not be here in September unless advised to come by Senator Morgan and Representative Schenck, of the Congressional Republican kJ.— > —■—- Cholera. New Yoke, July 27. — Several cases ol diitfcra, including three deaths, have oc curred in What is known as Shanty District of this city. Cablegrams. Lisbon, July 27.—There is a report that a British gunboat landed men at a Portu guese colonial station on the coast of Guinea, and took possessiou of the place. The Por : tuguese guard were made prisoners, the flag hauled down, and British colors substituted. The government has dispatched two men of war to the scene of outrage. London, July 27. —Lord Cranewortb is dead. t Further advices from Japan, as late as the 30lh of June, has been received. All tho Ministers from foreign powers in Japan had joined in a protest against the revival, by Mikado, of decrees against native Christians- Tho civil war continued to rage with much violence. The troops of Mikado were in possession of all the ports opened to foreign ers by treaty. A brother of Stale Bashi, tbe ex-Tycoon, was at the head of the revolt against the spiritual Emperor, and had a large army under his command, with which he was gradually advancing on Yeddo, in which city the party of the Tycoon is very strong. ♦There had been some fighting between the hostile forces in the vicinity of Yeddo, but uo decisive successes are reported on either side. it was thought that the war between the two parties, where their respective strength and resources appeared so evenly balanced, would result iu the division of the country ipto two independent empires, governed respectively by Mikado afid the ’I ycoon. • Alabama Legislature. Moxtgomeby, July 27. Both Houses have passed an Act ratifying the Code of Alabama, except where it conflicted with the new Constitution. A debate in the Senate, this morning, shows a large number of Senators in favor of removing all political disabilities, and there is probably a majority in favor of such a measure in the House. Mr. McCraw, Speaker of the House, offered a resolution in favor of removing disabilities, aud it was made the special order for next Friday. Mr. Harrington, of Mobile, offered a reso lution iu relation to newspapers. It provides I hat, for publishing slanderous articles, the editors and proprietors shall be fined not Tess than one thousand dollars, and imprisoned not less than six months. The press and materials can be sold as soon as judgment is entered, to pay the fine. The Act applies to copied matter as well as original. The judge of the court is to decide what is slan derous. Gov. Smith has vetoed the bill fixing the pay of members and officers of this Legisla ture. He takes the ground that it is.an increase of rales over the rates fixed by the old law. He further takes the ground that the pay—eight dollars per day, and forty cents a mile as mileage—is exorbitant, and is uot iu proportion to the amount in the Treasury. —-■ Virginia Matters. Richmond, July 27. —Rev. Reuben J. Herndon, who was in jail ut Orange Court Ilupse, charged with tbe seduction and murder of. Miss Mary Lumsden, escaped last night. He left a confession ot the seduetinn, but a denial of the murder. A reward of five hundred dollars has been offered by the Governor for his capture. Gov.
