Itemizing.
It’s all very well, perhaps you think;, to
open your morning paper, aud throw it down
presently with a ‘ Pshaw 1 nothing in it.'
But what are you going to do -1 out it? Sup
pose nothing of peculiar interest transpires
in town within the past twenty-four hours—
no suicides, nor eighteenth-section violations,
nor runaways of horses, nor fires, nor fights
—what then ?
The Land, we Love.
The September number of this monthly is
on our table. It is printed on excellent
paper, and the typography is admirable. Its
contents, with the exception of the editorials,
are readable. The editor mistakes violence
for vigor, and abuse for argument. A re
form ia this respeet will add much to the
attractiveness of the magazine. t
Fire.
The alarm of ‘fire,’ between four aud five
o’clock yesterday, morning, was caused by
the partial burning of a wood tenement, on
the corner of Twiggs and Calhoun streets,
occupied by a couple ot females. We learn
that one of the occupants, overcome by
drowsiness, had to be carried, in an insensible
condition, from the burning building.
The tenement was owned by Mr. Hrn, of
Columbus.
Fillnff It On.
The ‘ respectable' members of tire Oppo
sition seem determined to see how much
their fractious schemes can make tho
Municipality of Augusta pay in the item of
legal costs. ‘ .Sergeant Bazfuzz,’ yesterday
engineered through the Grand Jury a true
bill against Mr. Levy, acting Recorder, for
‘malpractice in office’—said malpractice
consisting, on the night of tho 27th ultimo,
in declining, at ten o’clock at night, to go
into an examination of a man sent to jail
for violating tho 18th and 21st sections of
the City Ordinance.

Incorrigible.
A young man belonging to an excellent
family in. this city, and possessing all the
health and intelligence aud capacity to fit
him for any pursuit, has the fatal habit of
abuse of the ardent spirits, which often
brings him before the Recorder’s Court, and
subjects him to fines, varying in amounts
according to the gravity of the offence which
he may have committed in the way of dis
turbing the peace. Will he quit such con
duct ? '

Novelty iu Pliotoff raphe.
Wonders will never ceasa A novelty in
photographs is promised us: pictures visible
in the dark—portraits that must be taken
into tho coal cellar to be admired. There
are certain compounds' of phosphorus,
which, after a short exposure to light, retain
a certain amount of luminosity for days
and even weeks afterwards. Tho image
from the photographer’s lens is allowed to
fall upon a plate covered with one of these
preparations ; the light excites tire surface
to phosphorence wherever it falls; the
shadows of the image produce no effect.
When the plate is removed from the
camera and brought to the light, nothing
is visible upon it; but if carried into utter
darkness the picture developes itself with
an unearthly glow, as if it had been drawn
with the point of a lucifer match.
OrganlzatioM.
It is time for men who are loyal to the
Governfnent and mean to support the laws,
to be prepared in every county in the State.
Let there be thorough organization, so that,
in any case of actual violence, a sufficient
force can be had at any time to defend the
officers of the law and the rights of good
citizen?. If they are known to be ready
for any emergency, no trouble will arise.
If they are not ready, <a few bad men may
make a great deal of mischief apd cost
the shedding of much blood before order
can be restored. No cumbrous organiza
tion or particular formality is necessary—
simply such an organization as will bring
every true defender of law and order to
the front on short notice, whenever a call
comes from the proper person.
Warning- ta the Ladlea.
A few days since, Mrs. Loftin, of La-
Grange, having some garments to wash, in
which she wished to retain the colors, steeped
in the water in which the clothes were
washed fig leaves, making a strong solution,
and rolled up her sleeves and washed them
herself. The second day afterwards she was
attacked, from the fingers to the elbow, with
erysipelas of a very aggravated character.
Let the ladies take warning.

Occupations,
Wc do not belong to that class of people
who ignore those who happen to pursue an
occupation altogether different to their own.
The sailor in his shrouds when the wind is
piping free, the soldier with his musket and
knapsack stained with his patriotic blood,
the diver with his dangers from the shark,
the miner with exposure to noxious gases,
the mechanic, the artizan or the plough
man, has just as great a claim to our respeet
as the preacher, tho lawyer or the editor.
The latter may have development and cul
ture of mind, but his heart dues not beat
more warmly, nor do his pretensions weigh
one feather’s weight more in the scale of
Deity. What though the brow of the
ploughman be sun-burnt, aud the features
of the miner well blackened with coal 1 the
hand that made all will distinguish only as
to the will, the disposition and the heart.
The nobility of the one oftentimes depends
more upon the calling with which he is
identified, than upon his exertions. The
nobility of the other is undoubted, both as
to his culling and the manner in which it
is executed. Both classes arc in common
with one another, and though the keenness
of tire eagle’s eye be given to one, the
same Creator will render it useless unless
assisted by the stalwart and unfailing
wings of the other.
The Nutriment<>? Beer.
Professor Liebeg, one of the most emi
nent chemist in the world, assures us that
1,400 quarts of the best Bavaria beer
contained exactly the nourishment of a
two and a half pound loaf of bread. The
beer is very similar to the famous Ailsor’s,
and our more popular American beer. The
fact is, the-nutritious portion of the grain is
rotted before beer can be made ; and if the
fermentation of the beer has been complete,
Professor Lyon Playfair declares that no
nourishment whatever remains iu the
fermented liquor; and as the English
Alliance' News says, “No chemist now
disputes these assertions, for, except in
flavor and amount of aloohol, the chemical
composition of all kinds of beer is alike,
and brewers must laugh to hear doctors
advertise porter as more nourishing than
beer, when porter is nothing but beer,
colored by burnt malt; and often when
beer goes wrong in the making, and is
unsaleable as beer, it is converted into fine
porter.”

Cation.
Efforts for the cultivation of cotton in
various purls of the world still continue. The
West Indies, the Cape of Good Hope, aud
several districts in India are the scenes of
English attempts, while the French are at
work iu Algeria and Egypt, and examina
tions of soils and climates arc continually
reported from Sicily. Greeuu. Roumauia, aud
many other points in Europe. Meantime
our own prospects for the coming year seem
to be a reduction of acreage planted, but a
decided improvement in cultivation, more
extended use of fellilizers, and better care
generally. Alabama has out about the same
quantity as last year, and Texas about thirty
three per cent, more ; bntiu the other cotton
States the falling off is nearly ten per cent,
in area under cotton cultivation. Still the
advancement in culture gives reason to
believe that with a good season for weather
and freedom from Insects, etc;, the yield will
be fully equal to that of last year.
Slacked Lime.
A thrifty farmer, who believes in making
old things last in these times, says there is
one thing that nearly everybody knows,
and hardly anybody attends to —that is, to
sprinkle lime on their roofs once a year,
either in Fall or Spring. If the shingles
are covered ever so thick with moss, the.
lime soon clears it off, leaving the roof
clean and white', and good for a dozen
years longer. It ought to be put on pretty
thick, and a , rainy day is the best for the
work. Strong wood ashes will answer
almost as well to keep old roofs in repair
but they will not look as nice. To make
new shingles last three or four times the
usual period, they need only to be soaked a
few days in a tank half full of thick lime
water, which must be stirred up before the
shingles are put in the tank.

• We received the following note, lust
evening:
Dear Sir : In your paper of this date I
see published, under the caption of “ Law
and Older/’ a communication about the
disturbance of last Sunday afternoon.
Similar occurrences have happened on or
ueAr my place. It did not start here, but
at the Factory, from whence a few colored
boys were stoned out here, where their
home is.
Your correspondent is down on liquor
shops, so-called gambling hells and grog-
S cries. I don’t feel myself hurt—but I
ould like to let every respectable, honest
man know that 1 do not keep such low
down people in my establishment. If
others around me have such company, let
it be known.
You, however, know somewhat of my
Garden, and I ask you to publish this
note. Very respectfully,
C. H. Johannsen. .
Tito Late John 11. Reilly.
MEETING Os THE BAH.
The Bar of the City of Augusta deeply
regret the death of our late brother John D.
Reilly, Esq., who died iu this city on the
Bth day of August
Out deceased brother, for more than two
yeArs before his death, was the Solicitor of
the County Court of Richmond county. The
arduous duties of the position he discharged
efficiently, faithfully and fearlessly.
Possessing by nature Sue intellectual
faculties, he cultivated them by much
reading in ibe various departments of litera
ture.
As a soldier, he served his country during
the late war with such patriotism, constancy
and courage as to win the confidence of his
commander, and the admiration of his
companions in arms.
His wit and generous impulses, gentle
and kindly manner aud fine social qualities,
endeared him to a large circle of friends.
Resolved, That we sincerely regret the
death of our late brother, John D. Reilly,
Esq., whose life proved useful to his country
as a criminal lawyer and soldier, and whose
untimely end cut short a career of useful
ness, aud deprived his family and friends of
a warm hearted aud beloved companion and
associate.
Resolved, That our deepest sympathies be
tendered to his mother and sisters who have
thus lost a devoted son and brother.
Resolved, That we will wear the usual
badge of mourning for thirty days.
Resolved, That this Court be requested to
order the proceedings entered on the minutes
this morning, and that the Secretary be re
quested to transmit a copy to tho mother of
the deceased ; and that the Chairman of this
meeting present the same at the opening of
the next Superior Court for this county, with
the request that the presiding Judge have
them spread upon the minutes, and that
these proceedings be published in the city
papers. 11. W. Hilliard, Ch’u.
H. Clay Foster, Secretary.
Solar Heal.
The cause of the sun-stroke is as yet a
mystery. The intense beat (merely as heat)
Os the solar rays is nbt the agent of mischief.
The human body may be exposed to the
Turkish bath of 140 degrees, and remain in
it for an hour without injury. This is a
much higher range of .heat than that of the
atmosphere at which sunstroke most often
occurs, viz : from 100 to 110 degrees (in the
sun). Men working in zinc furnaces or iron*
foundries are subjected to a heat above 120
degrees, but they are not prostrated to the
ground with tho phenomena of the sun
stroke. The human organization is fitted to
endure a much higher pitch of heat than
any wc have named. Experiments are re
corded of men sitting quite comfortably in
ovens, while chickens were slowly browning
by their side. How does it happen, then,
that at a temperature of the open air com
paratively so low urea melt way (as the pop
lar saying is) with heat?
The reason, we th'uk, must be looked for
in the chemical character of the sun’s rays.
The heiii of the sun differs from every other
kind of heat, as tjre light of the sun differs
from every other kind of light. This is a
fact so well known as to need no demonstra
tion. The effect of the sun’s heat on planets
—as’contrasted with artificial beat—is the
most familiar and perhaps the most striking
illustration at hand. All animate and inan
imate things are subjected to precisely the
same great laws of nature; and the solar
heat which makes the flowers droop and
close their petals, as if to shut out the daz
zling rays, is not without its marvelous
chemical rays upon the sensitive brain of
man. The effect, we say, is chemical—just
like the effect of poison. Strychnine, cyanide
es potassium, arsenic, morphine and the
other deadly drugs do uot work more organic
changes than a inn-stroke. The countenance
of the victim is dark-colored and injected
with blood, and a post mortum examination
discloses congestion of the brain, lungs and
heart. There are the effects, varying, hi
degree, of the administration of poisons.
‘The Woman of the Period-’
Fashion is often foolish now, as it always
haaffieen. Assaults are far too common on
the freshness and nice instiifrts of natural
modesty. But neither has any stronger ally
than these extravagant reviewers. The las
civious ballet of our large cities has found its
chief support in more lascivious denuncia
tion of its sights aud suggestions. The
injustice and excess of the charges against
women, work a reaction in many minds, and
they do not accept the grain of truth there
is. With others, such vehement denuncia
tiou of foibles prompts to toleration of graver
acts; for no more severe censure cau be
incurred. Follies are follies, and crime* are
crjmes. Virtue does not prescribe the cut
of a dress, nor the measure of a skirt. Nor,
are those most prudish inattire always the
purest in mind or the most circumspect in
act. Fashions may be discussed, and may
be censured, without assuming that tire one
pattern or the other involves moral laxity to
the degree of impurity. Above all: no
graver crime against society can be perpe
trated, than to assail weman as a sex, and
seek by denunciation to drag them all down
to the level of the Anonyma of whom these
critics kuow so much.
Mr. Isaac Russell. —We regret to learn
that Justice Russell has received letters
from his sister and from Captain C. J.
White, stating that Mr. Isaac Russell is
very ill with fever, which; in the opinion of
the attendant physicians, was superinduced
by- the wounds received by him in hi*
recent rencontre with Wm. R. Hopkins,
deceased. Although these letters represent
his condition as not being at all critical, yet
they urge his father to proceed to Phila
delphia without delay, and be is making
active preparations to leave by the train
this evening, or to morrow morning, for
that city.— Savannah Republican.

Bostsxss in New Yoke.—A letter from
New York says:
“General trade is beginning to look up a
little, but only a little. The dry goods deal
ers report a fair business in woollens, at full
prices, but domestic cottons are dull and
drooping. Foreign dress goods are quiet;
prices are irregular, sympathizing with the
fluctuations in gold. The regular fall trade
is not expected to open for another week or
ten days.”
-—The editors of the Paris Magazine, a
very able, but not very prosperous, Paris
weekly, applied recently to Henri do
Rochefort, editor of the Lantern, tfnd the
most successful French journalist of the
day, for advice as to the steps they should
take in-order to make their paper financially
successful. He told them to shun, above all
things, long artiuies, and never to publish
anything containing more than one hun
dred and fifty lines. “Formerly.” he says,
“people went home with a magazine, put
on their dressing gown and slippers, and
read until dinner time : but now they keep
their boots on and read in walking. Pub
lish plenty of small items, enlrefiUts,
separated by considerable spaces. The
public does not thank you for giving it
more ‘copy’ than it demands. Our readers,
it is true, like good editorials; but most
of them, as soon as they open their journals,
leok in the local columns in order to see if
Mademoiselle Marie Bose has found her
little dog again.”
