A passenger on the down train from Florence to Kingsville, Friday, 3?st July, informs us that, when two miles North of Sumter, South Carolina, they encountered the wreck of the u"p train, caused by the breaking of an axle under the engine tender. The tender was thrown from the track and badly demolished. Two cars were 'also thrown off—the broken axle and wheel remaining between the rails and created sad havoc with the brakes and under-rigging of all the cars. Nobody hurt. The passengers were transferred to the down train, which turned back to Florence, while conductor Evans soon arrived with a train from Kings* ville, and brought the passengers of the down train to Augusta., arriving at three o’clock Saturday morning.

The following is going the rounds of the papers: One of the most annoying and painful little troubles is a felon. A genuine remedy is worth circulating. It is said that a poultice of Onions applied morning, noon, and night, for three or four days, will cure a felon. No matter how bad the case, lancing the finger will be unneces sary if the poultice is applied. The remedy is a sure, safe, and speedy one. Toothache. At a meeting of the London’ Medical Society, Dr. Blake, a distinguished prac titioner, said that he was able to cure the most desperate case of toothache, unless the disease was connected with rheumatism, by the application of the following remedy '• Alum, reduced to an impalpable powder, two drachms; nitrous spirits of Other, seven . • drachms ; mix and apply to the tooth.

The recent college sports at Worcester remarkably illustrate the change which has taken place in our ideas concerning physical education. It was once thought that fine bodily development and intellec tual success were incompatible with each other. Twenty-five years ago, to be sun burned was only a mark of country breed ing ; to day, the boys at our colleges will sit out in the summer sun for hours studying, with hare neck and arms, in order to obtain the brown hud which is viewed as a sign of strength in boating men. Instead of wearing gloves to keep their hands white, they are proud to have them tanned the color of leather. We are also beginning to realize the value of these physical exercises as a very important aid in a man’s actual success in business or professional life. They secure to him health, without which some of his abilities must be wasted. The few and exceptional instances in which men of weak constitutions and poor health have risen into distinction, are now properly regarded as showing what they might have been, and ought to have been, but for their lack of physical power. It has been often said that men who are first in these manly sports at school and in college arc poor scholars. This is not true. At Oxford and Cambridge, in England, the oarsmen frequently rank well ; and at one time the senior wrangler, or first-honor man, at Cambridge, was stroke of the meDlberS Os the ifhtvaw -Dasd 'ball Club, which was victo rious at Worcester last week, graduated high in the year's class. William Blaikic, who pulled stroke in the Harvard crew in 1866, took a prize this year at the Cambridge Law School. The time devoted to exercise takes away of course from that given to study ; but the increased chances of future health secured thereby, as well as the tone of manliness ’which athletic sports impart to young men’s lives, form an ample compensation. So long • as our youth are Sufficiently studious to graduate at institutions where the course is so severe as at Yale or Harvard, andean also row or play ball, boating and base ball ought never to die out among students. The adoption of manly sports has already done nfeat good. It has taught young men not to despise hard work ; and in the future the Preservation of health will occupy a more Prominept position in plans of education. 'rake Care of the Children. During the ‘heated term,’ such as we passed through recently, and imiy experience again at any moment, the following will be found good advice, and we beg such otjior readers to peruse it who have the care of children : Animal food, quantities ot fruits, raw vegetables, ano, above all, cold water, or other chilling beverages, must be avoided. " Farinaceous foods, which can be varied in sort and manner of preparation to the inclination of the child, and wprip drinks, are the propfcr aliments, and, if absolutely necessary, at intervals, a small dose of syrup of rhubarb ns a tcmic. Avoiding too much covering by day and night, as also excessive exercise ; bathing daily in tepid water. These, and the usual care dictated' by common sense, are the certain means of keeping a young child in a healthy slate and precluding predisposition to most of the “diseases of childhood.” The Bankrupt I.aw Amended. The “fifty per cent, clause” Os the Bank' rupt law, as it is called, was so amended by a bill passed in the Senate, on Saturday last, as to allow all persons who apply before the Ist day of January, 1869, to have the benefit of the Bankrupt law whether they pay fifty per cent, of their debts or not. The bill is as follows : Be it enacted, etc., That the provisions of the second clause of the thirty-third Sec tion of said act shall not apply to the cases of proceedings in bankruptcy commenced prior to the first day of January, eighteen hundred and sixty-nine, arid the time during which the operation of the provi sions of said clause is postponed shall be extended until said first day of January, eighteen hundred and sixty-nine. And said clause is hereby so amended as to read as follows: In all proceedings in bankruptcy commenced after the first day Os January, eighteen hundred and sixty nine, no discharge .shall be granted to a debtor whose assets shall not be equal to fifty per cent, of the claims proved against his estate, upon which ho shall be liable as the principal debtor, unless the assent in writing of a majority in number and value of his creditors to whom he shall have become liable as principal debtor, and who shall have proved their claims, be held in the case at or before the time of the hear ing of the application for discharge. Sec. 2. And be itfui thcr enacted, That said act be further amended as follows: The phrase ‘presented or defended’ in the four teenth section of said act, shall read, ‘prose cuted or defended;’ the phrase ‘non-resi dent debtors,’ in line five, section twenty two of the act as printed ni the Statutes at Large, shall read, ‘non-resident creditors' ; that the wofd ‘or’ in the next to the last line of the thirty-ninth sectiqd of the act shall read ‘and’; that the phrase ‘section thirteen,’ in the forty-second section of said act, shall read ‘section eleven’; and the phrase ‘or spends any part thereof in gam ing,’ in the forty-fourth section of said act, shall read ‘or spends any part thereof in gaming’; and that the words ‘with the senior registrar, or,’ and the phrase ‘to be delivered to the registrar,’ in the forty seventh section of said act, be stricken out. Sec. H. And be it further That the registrars in bankruptcy shall have power to administer oaths in all cases, and in relation to all matters in which oaths may be administered by Commissioners of the Circuit Courts of the United Slates, and such Commissioners may take proof of debts in bankruptcy in all cases; subject to the revision of such proofs by the registrar arid by the Court, according to the provi sions of said act. The bill goes to the President. Postal Money Order System. Very few people are aware of the rapid increase of the money order system in con nection with Postoffice Department- From a statement presented to the House of Representatives a short time since the fol lowing facts are gleaned : Whole number es orders issued in IS6B 893,846 Whole number of orders issued in 1866 243,709 Increase 560,137 Amount received for orders issued 1868.- 15,555,327.74 Amount received for orders i ; ucd 1866 3,977,259.28 Increase ...$11,575,068.46 Amount fees received in 1868...-. 117,784.98 Amount foes received in 1866 35,799.98 Increase $81,985.00 Amount cxpensesFallowed in 1868.. 63.940.47 Amount expenses allowed in 1866.. 28,664.27 Increase $35,276.29 Net revenue accrued in 1868 $53,84-1.51 Net revenue accrued in 1866.- 90.82 Increase $53,753.69 The system is one of great economy and usefulness, and when it becomes fully understood by the entire community the business transacted under ii, Trill be vastly multiplied. Cheap Living.—An interesting experi ment in regard to cheap living has been tried lately, with success, at the Working woman’s Home, 45 Elizabeth street. It is well known that this large establishment, capable of containing five hundred persons was started last October, with the view of affording cheap board for women who work for their own support. It was calculated that with two hundred persons only, a charge of $3.25 a week would cover the expenses of food, attendance and rent, and experience has proved the correctness of the calcula tion. The house now contains two hundred and thirty inmates. Some time ago it: Was de cided to adopt the restaurant principle, in order to enable all to economize. One dol lar and a quarter was therefore charged for room rent, and food was furnished at whole sale cost, with a slight addition for the ex pense of servant’s wages’ fuel, breakage, etc. It is found that coffee and tea, with sugar and milk, can be furnished for two cents a cup; milk for two cents; meal for thrpe cents a plate (in quantity to that of a cheap eating house, where fineeu cents is charged); a slice-of bread about five inches square and an inch thick for one cent; several potatoes for two cents; a plate of peas, beans or other vegetables, for three cents ; a pat ol butter, two cents ; pudding with sauce, four "cents; pie, three cents; strawberries or blackberries, three cents; and other eatables in proportion; The provisions are bought of wholesale dealers in Washington Tuarkel. The House offodustry at the Five Points, supports and clothes a constant average ol a thousand children at about forty dollars a year each. The lood is plain, but a trifle more would-afford luxuries. The public does not realize the vast economies of living effected by a participation of large numbers. . t | New York Post. 4* ■ ' ——l The Suez Canal is about 75 miles long ; it cost nearly $60,000,000.

A Republican Convention of the county of Richmond assembled at the City Hall, at 2 p. m., yesterday. The Convention was called to order by Colonel J. E, Bryant, on whose motion Colonel John Bowles wa-< appointed Chairman, and Colonel E. F Blodgeit requested to act as Secretary. lq taking the Chair, Col. Bowles made a few appropriate remarks. Colonel Bowles announced a letterJroin Hon. Foster Blodgett, which was read, as follows: Augusta, Ga., August 1, 1868. To the Chairman of- the Richmond County Republican Convention. S IB —Tfatf object of your meeting is to appoint delegates to the State Convention, io nominate candidates for electors on the (jrant uud .Colfax ticket; and as the com mon eriemy is predicting a division iu our ranks, I beg leave, in this manner to counsel the utmost harmony, and trust all your pro ceedings will be of the most brotherly char acter, ever keeping in view the great fact, Chat the salvation of the country depends upon the success of the Republican party ; and the success of the Republican party depends upon perfect harmony among our selves— pulling together, as one man, upon the lino that shall bring to us victory, full and complete. The want of unity in the Republican ranks of the Georgia Assembly caused the disastrous consequences in the late Sena torial coolest. Let such a result bo never repeated among ourselves. While 1 must say I was chagrined at that result, let me here declare, that the success of the Repub lican party is dearer to me a thousand fold than my owu advancement; therefore, let there be no crimination, no denunciation ; but, iu the language of our glorious stan dard bearer, General Grants “Let us have peace I” and let m have victory I Very respectfully, Foster Bloduett. leading of Mr. Blodgett’s letter was received with great enthusiasm. On motion it jrttas ordered to be printed with the pro ceedings of this meeting. On motion of Mr. White, a committee of sewn was appointed to suggest suitable persons to represent the people of Rich moud county in the Republican Convention to assemble at Atlanta on the 18th hist.

F. Blodgett, Mr. W. J. White, and Mr. E. M. Brayton, were added to the list of delegates. On motion, the meeting adjourned. TWO THOUSAND citizens in council. Immediately upon the adjournment of the Republican Convention, yesterday, a Mass Meeting of citizens was organized by the appointment of Col. J.E. Bryant as Chair man, uud Col. E. F. Blodgett as Secretary. Mr. E. M. Brayton introduced the follow ing preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted, with much enthu siasm : Whereas, at a public Democratic meet ing, field at the City Hall, Augusta, on Thursday, 30th ultimo, at which L. D. F ord. presided, sundry resolutions, were adopted asserting that Augusta is virtually without a municipal government, alluding to the tragedy on the night of the 27th ult., and ’ appealing to the Legislature for relief from the alleged mismanagement of the present Mayor aqd Council; therefore, Resolved, That the citizens here assembled d enounce the action of said political meeting, as a partisan attempt to stigmatize and cause the removal of our efficient Mayor and Aldermen who are known to be true Repub licans, and in whom we have implicit confi dence ns men and as officers. Resolved, That for the untruthful state ments relative to mismanagement of the City -firiances, promulgated in the said resolutions, we respectfully refer the Geor gia Legislature to Hon. Ben. Conley, of the Senate, and Hou. Ephtaiqi Tweedy, of the House, both of whom are members of the Gity Council of Augusta- After the passage of the resolutions the meeting adjourned. i— y Suggestions. It will be safe and profitable to follow this advice during the next two mouths:— Walk on the shady side of the slgeet; mind your stomach ; spend no money foolishly ; avoid crowds; be temperate in all things, and don’t get excited. A correspondent commends Onions as a specific against epidemics—not as an escu lent, but sliced and kept in a sick room, where they will absorb any atmospheric poison. They should bo replaced by fresh ones every hour. It is noticed that in the room of a small pox patient they will blister and decompose with grert rapidity, but will prevent the spread of the disease. Their application lias also proved effective iu the case of snake bitos, INDUSTRIAL ITEMS. The English people are gre-.it egg caters.
