Southall has ‘ n appointed Postmaster for Hamburg, vice Geokoe Damm, Esq., resigned. Commliilons Arrived. Judge Levy, Ordinary, has received the Commissions of the several county Officers of Richmond county. —— • • Col. E. W. Cole. This accomplished railroader has been elected to the Presidency of the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad, in Tennessee, and, we learn, will accept the position. In this event, the Georgia railroad will lose his services as Superintendent, which office he has filled with eminent ability for several years. The Nashville and Chattanooga road is Col. Cole’s “ first love,” he having been its Superintendent before the war. Investigation Closed, The investigation of witnesses in the case of Lieutenant of Police, Chas. Evans, charged with being an accessory to the murder of Red, was concluded yesterday it being the eighth day of the trial. Mr. Picquet, on the part of the prosecu tion, and Col. Wm. R. McLaws, for the defence, addressed the Court yesterday. Attorneys Hook, ’Aldrich and Twiggs, for the defendant, and Mr. Hilliard, for the State, have yet to speak. It is to be presumed that the case will be finally disposed of to day. Deaf and Dumb Asylum. We have received the “ Twelfth Report of the Board of Commissioners of the Georgia Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, at Cave Spring, Georgia." There are’ forty-three pupils at present in attendance —twenty-seven males and sixteen females. Mint Julep. Attention has recently been drawn to the fact that Milton more than two hundred years ago mentioned in his “ Com us” the American drink of “ mint julep,” in tire following lines: „ . . “ And first behold this cordial julep here, That flames and dances in his crystal bounds, With spirits of balm and fragrant syrups mixed.” A Suggestion. The street railroad company arc now sell ing commutation tickets in the shape of coupons—the conductor tearing off a coupon for each ride. This coupon plan is a good one; but one of the regulations connected with it is wrong. This regulation is, that if the purchaser of a lot of tickets separates the coupon himself, the coupon thus sepa rated is valueless. Inasmuch as the com pany receives pay for every coupon issued, it should follow that each one should be gftod for a ride, whether detached or not. The conductors of the line are very competent gentlemen, doubtless, but it strikes us that citizens can tear off coupons they have paid for just as well its agents of the railroad company. • • Henziae, An article used in Paris for cleaning watches, under the name of “ Essence Lemoine," proves to be nothing but pure benzine, combined with some substance to give it a more pleasant odor. Benzine, however, answers a most excellent purpose in this connection, as it certainly removes all the grease and dirt, without disturbing the gilding or affecting the shellac cement used for fastening in the jewels. ——♦» Gambling. The gold gamblers are on the rampage just now in spite of the dog days, and have jumped up the price among the fifties. The tide will soon turn, and the sharpers will laugh at the wrecks high and dry upon tho shore. This whole trade of buying and selling gold is nothing more than a game of faro. The grain gamblers in Chicago bet upon the price of wheat, and fortunes are made and lost in a day. The propensity of mankind to run the hazard of the die seems as irresistible as that for strong drink. Gold happens to be the article best adapted at this juncture for the game of chance, owing to its inconvertibility into paper money—that’s all of it To-Day’s Eclipse. The solar eclipse that is to take place to day will be total. Special expeditions Os astronomers and photographers are to be sent out the Governments of Great Britain, France, Austria, Germany and Italy, to observe and record the important phe nomenon, which is to be of nearly seven minutes’ duration. As it will be visible in its totality only from the portions of the surface of our glo*be adjacent to the equator, Ihe various expeditions will have to undergo the hardships of a summer journey to tropi cal regions. Most of them are already under w ay. At Aden, at the mouth of the Red Sea, where the eclipse will be observable at sun-rise, as the most convenient point from Europe, the greater number of these special scientific envoys will congregate. In the course of the day, the total eclipse will be visible in India, on the islands of Borneo and Celebes, the Spice Islands, and toward si’o-sel io New Guiana. In all of these ■ocanties careful observations are expected to be made. Coroner** Inqueutt, There i* a geperal impr*NHHi Ural the coroner’* pffic 9 is used to l|rge merely to make fees uptJfi dealt bod les (Hliat inquests and autopsies are made where there can be no question of the cause of death ; where the cause and manner are known to many where the canto is a natural one and can bo certified by the attending physician, and where the causes and circum stances preclude any supposition of crime. It is the public belief that the duty of the coroner y to ikquiri jtjfo deaths, where tho cause 08 manner is unknown or mysterious, or where there is reason to suppose that a responsibility attaches to other parties, or where there is cause to suspect that a crime has been done, for the purpose of finding out tho unknown cause, tracing thoresponsi bility in case of casual death, and tracing the criminal, in easo of death by foul dealing. We notice that, in a late statistical report, the coroner of New York states as an omission needing reform, the disposition ta ignore the fact of intemperance in rendering verdicts, as a producing cause of casualties, and of hastening death by disease. If such an inquiry were pursued, where would it end ? It would expand the duties of tho coroner vastly beyond his public province. In cases of violent death, where an inquest is necessary, if intem perance is the cause, it naturally comos under inquiry and into the verdict. But if in cases of death from heart disease, apo plexy or any other disease where intem perance may have been un accelerating cause, the coroner is to inquire and report on that habit, why not into all the habits which are supposed to be in violation of tho laws of health ? This would be an infinite extension in the line where the Coroner’s inquiries have already been too greatly extended. The law does not make him the supervisor of the health or habits of the community, nor even of its dead. It allows people to die and be buried without his revision. It mgajis that he shall not permit people to be taken mys teriously out of the world, nor buried, with out an inquiry, when there is a cause to suspect that a crime has been committed. If restricted to this public duty, the expenses of the Coroner’s office would be greatly re duced. We consider ail that is done outside of this illegitimate. The • Morpheus.’ We paid a brief visit, yesterday, at the Union Depot, to this aptly termed palace on wheels—the ‘Morpheus’—which is to be run over the Georgia Railway, by the enterprising managers of the Pullman, Kimball & Ramsey Company. The ‘Morpheus’ is fifty-six feet long, teti and a half feet wide, and fourteen feet, six inches high. At either end of the car is an elegant toilet saloon, with marble slabs, silver trimmings, splendid mirrors, and all necessary fixtures, for ladies and gentlemen. These saloons are divided from the main portion of the car by an elaborately finished partition of embossed plate glass and black walnut. The centre of the car is divided into ten sectious of two double berths each, one state room, and one elegantly fitted drawing room, which has ope single and two double berths, two large easy chairs, table, large mirrors, etc. The inside wood work is of black walnut, surmounted w.th handsome carvings, tastefully embellished with gilding. The ceiling and upper berths are elegantly frescoed, which gives a very cheerful appearance. Each berth is furnished with a handsome mirror, and at the end of the car is a long mirror giving full length view. In centre of the car are two large closets, the fronts of which arc fine plate glass mirrors. The sofas are trimmed with moquett, and the carpets and curtains ate the finest ever brought to this country. Each bed or berth is furnished with a good, thick hair mattress, linen sheets, large pillows, and the most beautiful blankets we ever saw. In brief, the entire internal arrangement and appearance of the spacious coach resembles the saloon of an elegant first class steamer, so little has it in common with the cramped and confined look of ordinary coaches. The taste displayed in every particular is not susceptible of any improvement. The ‘ Morpheus’ was built at the works of the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, Nashville, Tennessee, at a cost of somq $28,000. Conrlciiaa lion. In America, and also abroad, the tendency of literary manifestations, for several years past, has been towards condensation. This is notably the ease iu Ahe newspaper press, daily and weekly, and it is also displaying itself in magazine literature. The average length of articles has been materially re duced. The uewspapcr with short, pungent paragraphs, io which the intelligence that is to be given is boiled down into the fewest possible words, is always preferred to one which stretches its articles but irfto columns of useless adjectives. People who want to find out what is going 0:1, prefer to do it in as short a time as possible, and from a sheet filled with scores of condensed paragraphs,, they can learn much more than if the same, space is devoted to a small number of lengthy articles. • • Good Advice. An editor once said to a young man who was about to wed the scissors and paste : My young friend, you are about to become, I learn, an editor of a newspaper. Permit an old man to give you this advice. If you desire success in that capacity, you should in each paper publish one column for a sensible man and two for a fool.” New Dree*. Two young ladies were holding converse over a new dress. “ And does it fit well ?” asked one. “ Fit ? Yes, as if I’d. been melted and poured in 1” Chalk Lin*. Ants, black and red, have a great antip athy to chalk- A line of ibis substance, half an inch wide, drawn around any vessel, either of stone. or wood, is a “dead line,” which they dare not cross.

Augutla Republican : .The provision market during tho week past Jias remained in about the same condition as last iuted, with very slight advances on some arti cles, and a generally firmer feeling on the part of holders as to tho future, especially for Bulk and Bacon moats. Tho demand has been small au JaUogotber consumptive, speculators standing aloof for further developments. Tho cattle dis eascpanic is about at an end, and its influence on the hog product done. The market closes firm on the part of holders, but buyers do not como forward, even at the small advance asked over quot.rtjc'is, while slight concessions would lead to a fair trade. JI ESS J’OKK is generally held at $28.75, but is not salable at more than 28.50 for City. There 4s no Country offering. LARD has beou very quiet thia week, owing to the advance asked; it is not salable at over 181 for City EUtled, though generally held j higher.

Dsatii of the Largest Man in Ken tucky.—A correspondent of the Louisville Courier says: I will give you a small sketch of the life and death of tho largest man, perhaps, that ever lived in the State of Kentucky. William G. Willis died at a small village in Boone county by the name of Bullittsville, qn Wednesday, the 20th of July, of apo plexy. He was sick but a few hours. He was without doubt the largest man in the State, weighing five hundred pounds on the day he died. Hia average weight varied during the las’ few years from five hundred and twenty down as low as four hundred ninety pounds, but he was weighing even five hundred pounds at the time of his death. His height wa* about six feet. He was keeping a toll-gate at the time of his death, and the passers by had to go to him to pay their toll in place of him going to them. He of late has been in Barnum’s Museum, m New New York, but left there about them about the time the museum was burned last fall. Cows that hold up milk, Mr. Johnson says, can be cured if they will drink sour milk. After drinking, and as soon as they begin to lick the pail, they will give down freely. He has tried it with cows that would give about two-thirds the proper quantity, retaining the other portion. Then lie uives them the milk tj drink, and waits until they begin to lick the pail, when he has no trouble in obtaining the remainder. He has tried meal, salt, and various things, but found nothing to produce s*ch an effect as sour milk.— N. K Tribune. —The Wine Grower’s Association of Ohio want Congress to plaee a duty of $1 50 a gallon on foreign wines. |BY. [Special to tho Augusta Republican. Georgia Legislature. Atlanta, August 17, 1868. The Senate consumed nearly all the morning in reading bills for the first lime. Campbell having the floor, moved to lay his motion to reconsider, in the Bradley case, on the tabic, which was agreed to. A bill to amend the Constitution was in troduced, so as to carry the Capitol to Mil ledgeville. Also, a bill to increase the capital of the Georgia Railroad and define its powers. This bill authorizes an extension of their road from Athens to Clayton. The Senate adjourned until Wednesday. Preparations are increasing for the Con vention. A section of U. S. artillery is now near the railroad, ready to welcome the arrival of delegates with a salute. W. Washington Items Washington, August 17.—Mrs. Trum bull is dead. Internal revenue for the present fiscal year, commencing July Ist, $25,800,000. Attorney General Evart’s opinion is pub lished ; it favors the President’s power of appointing a Collector for New Orleans, and officers for Alaska—tho commissions terminating with next session. Senator Rollins has returned, and it is authoritatively announced ho has no in tention of vacating his office, except to a successor acceptable to the Radical party. A provision of the new tax bill forbidding distillation and rectification in buildings within six hundred feet of each other, gives rise to an interesting legal question which shall cease operations. Many extensive establishments of each class are within the territorial interdiction. The Star says that several of the new Governors of the Southern States have made requisitions on the Secretary of War for arms, under a law passed in 1796, but the Secretary has declined to furnis them until further legislation is bad on the subject. The Governors, in consequence, have united in an appeal to Congress to meet on the day which they had adjourned, to take action in the matter. The French and Prussian Embassies here have advices indicating trouble between ti e two countries. Rosencranz has received part of his in structions. The poliby toward Mexico is to be conciliatory.

Advices from Jacmcl, Hayti, to August Ist, state that the Picos have been defeated at Bainch. and forty of them taken prisoners, including General Aleygandcrc, who was shot by his captors. South Carolina Legislature. Columbia, August 17.—The House passed a bill putting the negroes of the State on an equal footing with the whites. The negro members demanded the right of hotel tables, beds, and licensed places. Several white republicans voted against it, declaring that on a question of race they must go with their own color. Seventy sections of tho tax law passed without opposition to day, a majority being too ignorant to discuss it. The State is practically bankrupt. The Government can raise no funds. Japsn News- San Francisco, August 17.—The steamer Colorado has arrived from Yokohomo, with dates to the 26th July. One hundred and fifty Christians were drowned at Nagauaki.
