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. ■ v v ■** ■ ■ 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 ? ' City Conn of Augusta, • The following True Bills were returned by • tire Grand Jury : State vs. Jack Blaylock alias Johnson. Simple larceny. State vs. William Glover. Larceny. State vs. Francis Cheny alias Lans, Assault and battery. State vs. William Levy. Opprobious words. State w. James Luke. Assault and bat tery. State vs. Samuel Levy (acting Recorder). Malpractice in office. State rs. Joseph B; Ramsay (Policeman). False imprisonment. State vsi Phil. Steger. Assault aud battery. • Thirty-two awards by the Court, on Com mon Law docket, and eight verdicts by petit jury on the same docket. 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. The Southern Expreaa Company. The Allanta-45'0 announces that Colonel M. J. O’Brien has succeeded . Governor Bullock as Superintendent of the Southern Express Company. Mrs. Kemble begins her reading tour at New Haven, Sept., Ist. Mr. Joliuunsou Speaks. • 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.

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.” —Alf.

Special to the August* Republican.] Atlanta, Ga, August 25,1868. There was considerable debate in the Senate on an effort to reconsider the rejected bill granting exemptions to two fire compa’ nies in Macon. The question was on the constitutionality of the motion to reconsider, which prevailed. The rules were suspended, and the bill providing for au election of Mayor and Com* oilmen of Savannah discussed. Letter moved to substitute the House bill passed on the same subject, ns no time could be gained. After debate to withdraw, it and original bill was laid on the table for the present. The unfinished bnsirtess of yesterday was resumed : to alter and amend the usury laws.
