River Newn. The river commenced rising about noon yesterday, and, we take it, will boa pretty lively stream very soon, in consequence of the recent rains. The steamer Katie arrived from Savannah about 6 o’clock yesterday evening, and leaves this morning about 10 o'clock. Johannien’i Garden. Our friend Johannsen is fixed up quite cosily in his * Garden,’ on the Mauge Survey, and many of our first-class citizens often repair thither to indulge a game of billiards, roll on the bowling alley, shoot the air gun, or quaff some of his No. 1 lager. County Treasurer. Wm. H. Stallings, Esq., on yesterday, was duly qualified as Treasurer of Richmond county. Street Improvements. It is with considerable pride and gratifies lion we notice, in passing to and fro through the city, the improvements made by the paving of the streets and footways, as well as the laying of sewers, etc.; and these seem to be of a much more substantial character than many others that have been contracted for and completed within only a few years past. Three Things. Before there will be much prospect of a millenium, three things will have to be secured: a new material from which to make paper—a system of ventilation that will insure an abundance of pure air—and the production of illuminating gas at prices much below those now paid by the consu mere in Augusta. Press Dispatches. We see it stated that “ the expenses of the Associated Press, notwithstanding the extra cost of cable dispatches, are $50,000 a year less than they were two years ago.” Glad to hear it. Hope the reduction of expenses will go on. Perhaps our readers may be interested on learning that The Republican pays from sixty to seventy dollars per week for our telegrams. li lack wood, We are indebted to the Leonard Scott Publishing Company. 140 Fulton street, New York, for the current number of this Edinburgh Magazine—containing : The Right Hon.

The Solicitor-General pro tern, being absent, from indisposition, A.C. Holt, Esq., was appointed in his stead by the Court. Seven verdicts were rendered by special jury, on the Appeal docket. Two cases were settled, and one con fession of judgment entered, on Common Law docket. William Russell made his report and oath of intention to become a citizen, and Eugene Labiche was naturalized. The Grand Jury returned a true bill against Samuel Levy, for malpractice in office. It was agreed that on Friday next, in Chambers, will be argued the motion for a new trial in the case of Lieutenant Jas. B. Ramsay, convicted of false imprisonment. Court adjourned till ten o’clock this after noon. a _ The Difference. It has been noticed that those who ‘travel’ present great contrasts in the quantity of luggage they carry. For instance, Mr. I'xipPEiis takes a valise, in which there is a fine-tooth comb, a pocket handkerchief, and nightcap. Mrs. Splurgmore takes fourteen trunks, seven valices, and about a dozen miscellaneous packages. Mr. Gusborn starts Jpr Silvertop Mountains with a dog, an umbrella, a gun, a shirt, and a tooth, pick. Mrs. Shiner goes to the same locality with a caravan of duds too frightfully numerous to mention. Jollygolong starts ou a tour with a shirt-collar and a clean conscience. Mrs. Horsepefflhs takes four three-story trunks, five big wooden boxes, two sable servants, a patent tea-pot, two pet dogs, two umbrellas, six demijohns, and a husband. As a general thing, a man desires little but his akin, a shirt and a lead pencil to start for the antipodes; while a man doesn’t like to start for a two-days’ visit, a mile off, without a cord and a half of 1 'raps.’ Jab Declined. .

All physical bodies arc affected by it and it is the very same in all eases, but as physical bodies vary,so do its effects, thus for instance, iron expands and clay contracts when caloric is applied to them. Hence it is easy to see that a man Hiado up of clay, dirt if you please, exposed to a high dogroe <>f heat must contract, and this dbntraetion tfiay be the cause of such obstructions to the natural circulation of the blood, etc., as to produce disease and death.

Caloric, as you arc aware, becomes latent in some bodies, and will be given out from time to time under certain circumstances. Black bodies absorb more caloric than white.

Our political friends >cpi 104 be anxious to try some experiments in this line, :tnd are soliciting black votes to make a white man’s government, satisfied, no doubt, that there is not latent caloric enough among their Democratic allies North to keep up the steam for their Seymour and Blair machine. lam afraid, however, that in stead of solar heat they will get nothing but moonshine. Serio LudriCO.' —< [Correspondence Augusta Republican. WASHINGTON LETTER. The Presidential Campaign—dll the Talkers on the Stump —The Prospect—Democrats Greatly Demoralized—Bets Offered on Grant, with no Taken—Affaire at the While /touee—Munici pal Affaire—A Centenary Memorial Church — The “Great Conflict of Races”in the Capital. Washington, August 24, 1868. The Presidential campaign is now fairly opened ; nearly all the talking politicians on both sides are engaged in the contest, and it is as lively throughout the Northern States as if the Democrats really thought there was the slightest chance of electing Seymour and Blair. Information has been received at the Republicah headquarters in this city from the different States, showing that the Republican party is belter organized to-day than any party ever before, since the organ ization of political parties in this country* Tire work of registering voters and classify ing them, by political organizations, has already been commenced in some of the States, anß will be carried out fully in al' doubtful localities. The names will be pu l down under the several headings, “Repub. licau,’’ “Democratic,” “Doubtful.” Through this means, the organizations wi 1 know just where their influence is most needed. This plan has been partially carried out in some particular localities in previous elections, but never on so extended a scale as is now contemplated. Indeed, long before the election, we shall know very nearly what majority of the popular vote Grant will receive, and exactly how many -electoral votes will bo cast for him. The Republican leaders will be sadly demoralized if Grant is only elected “by the skin of the teeth,” and they have, during the last two weeks, pul their shoulder to the wheel and resolved in earnest to give him such a majority as no previous President ever had. The Democrats who flutter about the Capital, ouly to get their wings singed, are inconsolable, particularly since the last speech of George 11. Pendleton, at Bangor, Maine. They realize now more fully than ever the mistake in throwing aside Pendleton for Seymour. The latter’s best friends now concede that he can not possibly carry more than six small States, and probably not more than four. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been offered on the election of Grant, with as yet not a single taker. There are straight forward offers without any loop holes for “hedging.” The latest is the proposition of John A. Blair, candidate for Governor of New Jersey, who offers to bet from five to fifteen thousand dollars eaclip that he will be elected Governor of New Jersey and Grant President of the United States, and offers to give a similar sum Ip any person who will obtain a taker of the bet. The offer remains open until election day. Gue hundred, thousand dollars is offered by Wilkes, of the 7'imes, on Grant, aud although three weeks has elapsed since the offer was made, no takers have presented themselves. Affairs’ at the White House* remains instatu jw. Mr. Johnson is waiting, Micawber-like, for something to turn up. Almost every week a fresh batch of seedy ex-rebel politicians visit the White House to impress upon him tha importance of carry ing out his policy by sustaining the rebel Democratic nominees; but he does not see the matter clearly in that light, as yet; or, at all events, he pretends not to do so. One day last week, a Mississippi delegation became so overbearing in their demands for Executive interference to overthrow the Reconstruction measures of Congress, that Mr. Johnson cut short the conversation abruptly, and the “chivalry'’ left, wiser, if not better men, for the snuffing they* re ceived. The whole truth of the matter is believed to be that the President does not see any opening yet in which to thrust his head, and, like any animal watching for prey, he is waiting for the turn of events, lie does say, however, that he desires to do nothing to provoke Congress to come together iu September. Rid of Congress, he will then be comparatively free to act as the whim of the moment may suggest. But, unless he does something for the Democracy soon, the leaders threaten to denounce him worse than they did in 1864, and to expose his treason to the party electing him. He is thus exposed to two fires—a very awk ward position, as every one knows, who has been so situated. The charges against the Commissioner of Internal Revenue have been prepared, re prepared, and re-copied over and over again. Mr. Evarts is not half so willing to do the President’s bidding as was Stanberry. The latter paid little or no attention to what the President said, but was governed in his action by what he meant. In this way he always succeeded in pleasing his master. Mr. Evarts does not propose to do this, and hence there is already a misunderstanding. The ultimate destination of the charges will also depend upon the reassembling of Con gress in September. That recess has given the President a kind of nightmare, and it haunts him as did the ghost of an assassin one year ago; and it went "down” either at his bidding—and that is just what’s the matter at the White House. Mr. Johnson still sticks to his post, not withstanding the hot weather, and the ab sence from the city of nearly all public men, excepting those who have some axe to grind. I saw him this morning riding out in a one horse buggy,and he appeared to be,in belter health than at any time during the last two years. The secret of this is, the President does not indulge in the use of stimulants as formerly. Whiskey has ached a fearful part in the affairs of this country. But for whis key the Southern heart never could have been fired in 1861; but’ for whiskey A. J. never would have been so imprudent as to make his 22d of February speech to a rebel mob. ' Our municipal affairs arc still at a stand still. The Rebakcpnservativc members of the Board of Ademicu reftisc to moot with th* other members, the business of the city can not bo proceeded with. They threaten to hold out during the whole year. A disturbance occurred a few days since in Pennsylvania Avenue, near 21 st street between a party of roughs and a company of!colored soldiers known as the Butler Zouaves, which has been grossly misrepre sented by the Democratic press here and elsewhere. The Zouaves have their head quarters in Georgetown, and on several occasions when coming to Washington they haw been assaulted with stones and other missiles. On this occasion the company, it seems, had determined if not protected by the police to defend themselves, and reach ing 2 let street, stones were thrown at them and; the vilest terms of reproach was heaped upon them. Some of tne Zouaves fired. Several of the assailants got hurt, and the matter is now undergoing a legal investiga tion, and the parties, both black and white, guilty of any offence will nndooubtedly be punished. The whole disturbance did not last five minutes, and upon this small foun dation is based the exaggerated reports under the heading of “Great Riot in Wash ington”—The Conflict of Races Bogun, etc. The Methodist are about erecting, in this city, a Centenary Memorial Church, the vestibule to be paved with marble from the temple of Moriah, and the altar and pulpit of cedar of Lebanon; the windows of the edifice to be dedicated to the memory of prominent members of the church, and in each window an appropriate design, but no likeness of any person, dead or alive. A Bostonian has furnished a grand organ for the edifice, a widow lady in New York a solid silver communion service, and every member of the denomination will hove an opportunity to contribute something.

The Eligibility Question. DEATH OF HOH. J. B. MOON* Atlanta, August 28, 18C8. In the Senate, the special order was taken up—the consideration of the bill reorgan** izing the municipal government of Augusta. A message was received from the Governor, with the request that the same be considered in Executive session. The motion to go into Executive session was agreed to. The Senate eon firmed Honorable Noel B. Knight Judge of the Blue Ridge Circuit, and 11. P. Farrow, of Fulton, Attorney General. The doors were then opened, and resolu tions adopted in respect to the memory of Hon. Mr. Moon, deceased, Representative in the House from Madison. Senate then adjourned until Monday. In the House, the consideration of the eligibility of colored members was re*- sumed. Bryant delivered a speech of two and a half hours. At the ch>Be of Bryant’s speech, Bethune offered a resolution as a substitute for the whole, setting forth that, inasmuch as'the question was in doubt, and as there is no judicial proceeding settling the same, and as it is important it should be settled at an early day, that the House postpone further action until the next meeting of the General Assembly. The Judges of the Supreme Court are requested to give thejr decisions in writing, and the Clerk of the House is required to furnish each of them with so much of the Journals as will enable them to comprehend the question without delay. The death of the Hon. J. B. Moon, repre sentative from Madison county, being an nounced by Mr. Price, further action was susfiendcd mid . appropriate tesolutions adopted. Air. Price pronounced a very ef fective eulogy- in respect to the memory of the deceased, the House adjourned until 10-uiorrow. - • Washington Items Washington, August 28.—Gen.
