C., is dead. Mr. Miles was a tailor, in the seventy-second year, aud was probably the oldest native residing in Columbia at tl>c time of his death. The Forge in Operation, A low, dark, mysterious-looking place, into which one peers through the half open door from the bright sunlight outside, which is in such strong contrast to the ■gloom within. It is not a large building, but the darkness presents its real limits from being seen, and gives an indefinite idea of size, made still more impressive by the heavy cranes, cranks, and other ma chinery, that fill every portion of the available space. These also obscure the light, and gite a misty, shadowy appear ance to everything around. On all sides lie ponderous pieces of metal, castings and half-finished work. Beside them stand the mighty trip-ham mers, that lately, with quick and heavy blows, have wrought these large masses into shape. They arc silent now, but will soon exhibit their wonderful power. Ad joining these are the; furnaces, glowing , with suppressed heat, which at intervals escapes in little tongues of flame between the clay packing of their mouths. Among all these mighty engines many men are moving, looking powerful and calm—their faces grimed with coal-dust and perspiration. Among them stands one who, with an air’of authority, directs their operations. No word is spoken, but. a simple gesture or nod is sufficient to direct them, and thus these sooty Cyclops labor on in silence. Let us witness au ordinary forging. At a sign from their leader a gang of men move to one of the furnaces, which is uttering, deep, suppressed sighs, as if in pain, and within whose fiery embrace a large shaft has been resting for the past hour. Removing the bricks that protect the entrance, they seize the near end of the shaft, which is poised in a largo crane, and swing it round so as to bring the heated part beneath a trip-hammer near by. ' Slowly the windlass revolves which effects this movement, and like a fiery dragon, or some vast crystal of purity before unknown, the white-hot metal emerges, clear as the sun and dazzling the eyes with its brilliance. Steadily it moves through the air and is laid upon the anvil. Then with deep inspire ■ tions the piston of the trip-hammer begins to work, with short movements at first, then light, and next resounding blows that shake the roof with their forc§, aud can be heard afar off.' Every blow falls with the force of tons, and the shaft quivers and groans with the shock. A beautiful spray of sparks flios out in all directions, and the whole scene is lit up with the glare from the still open furnace, and the red and augry-fookiug iron. Fast falls the hammer, and at each stroke the shaft is turned a little by the men at the end, so as to be evenly forged. Now they pause for a moment, and the foreman meas ures the size with a calliper, and then the blows are resumed, but more lightly and carefully ; now a tap, next a heavier stroke, and then a blow that shakes the building. Next comes forward four stalwart smiths, and while the foreman bolds a long-handled wedge against the glowing metal, they strike with heavy successive blows, all together, with marvellous accuracy, though they are so close together that it seems they can hardly fail pf strikiug each other. t A superfluous piece being thus removed, the shaft is withdrawn from the anvil and again inserted in its fiery bed—where we will leave it and the forge together. , Swearing in Hebrew. A lady, recently, riding in a car on a certain railway, was disturbed in her rcadiug hy the conversation of two young men occupying the seat before her. One of them seemed to be a student of some college, on his way home for a vacation. He used much profane language, greatly to the annoyance of the lady* She thought she would rebuke him, and, begging pardon for interrupting them, asked the young student if he had studied the languages. “ Yes, madam, I save mastered the languages quite well.” “ Do you read and speak Hebrew ?” “ Quite fluently. ’ “ Will you be so kind as to de a small favor ?” “ With great pleasure ; ‘am at your service.” “ Will you be so 'nd as to do your swearing in Hebrew ?” —' - ■■■ The Weather. It shines— raius, , Thon shin os again. What doos the woatbe'r mean ? It hangs in doubt— Tbo sun comes out, With drizzling mists between. Now dark, mow light, Like day, like night— ’Tis changing, fickle Weather; It mists at times, Then rains or shines — And, sometimes, all together. f City Court of Augusto. Cihminal Cases.—State vs. James Lule, Assault and Battery. Sentenced by the Court to a fine of fifty dollars and costs of suit—to stand committed until paid. State vs. Wm. Levy, using opprubfous words aud abusive language. Sentenced to coufiuemeut in jail for ten days, and then to pay the costs of prosecution and be dis charged. State i’S. Wm. Gloveb, simple larceny. Sentence of the Court —that he do woik upon the Chain Gang for the space ol six months ; then, upod p»ytoi»>t of costs, he be discharged. Citizenship.—Bernard Carroll and John F. Armstrong received tligir papers of naturalization. Adjournment.—The Grund and I’otit Jurors"were drawn, and the Court adjourned to the Court in course. Drones* The fact is undeniable that iu this city public nuisances are neither few nor far be tween. To enumerate all the different varieties would require more time and space than many of them are worth. But there js one class of nuisances specially deserving of a passing notice. In all that pertains to the make-up of a successful loafer, the Vagaboud stands prefimiuCnt. He is not to be excelled iu his profession, nor outstripped in his efforts to reach the goal of absolute useless ness. He is more industrious than a mos quito, for he is on duty more hours iu twenty, four. Iu addition to all his other qualifica tions, heposseses that of übiquity, and hence comes nearer being everywhere at one and the same time than almost anything huinub or inhuman. Such are the professional loafers, scores of whom infest our city and obstruct the channels of business without ever paying storage to the authorities or rendering any equivalent for the monopoly of space which might-be deviled to some useful purpose. Theyvliang around the depot, the places of amusement, the street corners generally— with uo definite *053601 in view, no business to do, no honorable aspic rations to gratify. These worthless, aimless, and impudent creatures may be seen at all hours of the day, and many hours of the night, vigorously employed in doing nothing. ’How they live is a mystery, but it would be a blessed thing for the com, munity if they didn’t live at all. They are stumbling blocks in the way’ of industrious, respectable people, aud eye-sores to every body but themselves. They delight instating impudently into the faces of ladies, uttering coarse oaths, ayd manufacturing obscene jokes and stories. There is no excuse for loafing in the city> and he who indulges in jt docs so from choice. Idleness begets’erimc as sure as filth produces disease, and the present crop of loafing vagabonds who hife-st our streets are jailbirds and State prison convicts in embryo. It would, be a, blessing to them, as well as a good thing for the community, to drive them out into the pure air of the country, where the opportunities for honest labor might, perhaps, overbalance their tendcnei es toward vice. Diarrhoea It eci pc. ‘ A Public Friend' contributes the fol lowing sovereign recipe for diarrhoea, dysentery, etc. He declares it has been in use in his father’s family for the last twenty years, and has never failed to effect a cure: Put in a large pitcher two tablcspoons ful pf carbonite of soda and lour of loaf sugar, pour on these a pint of hot water, when they are perfectly dissolved add half a pint of cold water, then put in a tablespoonful of pulverized Turkey rhu barb or two ounces of the tincture, a small teaspoonful of laudanum, eight drops of the oil of peppermint, or enough of the tincture to give it a taste, and lastly, half a pint of good French brandy. Bottle up carefully, and administer to the patient in doses equal to half a wine glass full three times a day, or as often as the bowels are moved. In extreme cases, accompanied by griping pains, double the proportion of brandy and laudanum and use freely.- Give it a fair trial. No family should be without it. A Good Advertisement. We notice in a Western paper the fact that there is a merchant in the towh in which the paper is printed, who, whenever a man buys a good bill of goods from him, makes the purchaser a present of the paper in which he advertises, for one year, and thus he manages tt> kctfjf the customer reminded of his business —and he will never forget such a present. Should that man give his customer two dollars in green backs or in goods, it might be forgotten ; but when.he is once a week, for fifty weeks, placed in receipt of his friend’s bounty, can any one doubt it's being a good way to advertise ? Th"is is worthy of imitation by business men. REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COM Mil TEE. Hon. Foster Blodgett, Chairman. Hon. Benjamin Conley, Treasurer. W. H. Watson, Esq, Secretary.

Hoyt —lt is rumored that the Democrats whl nominate “Brick” Pomeroy against C. C. Washburn, in the Sixth Wisconsin Distriat. [From tho Atlanta Era. The Georgia Legislature. Atlanta, August 28, 1868. SENATE. Thi rules were suspended on motion of Mr. Lester, and a resolution in reference to life surrender of the charter of the bank of Savannah was introduced and referred Io the Committee on the Judiciary. Mr. Welch iutrodueed a resolution that the Governor bo authorized to furnish four copies to each county of Hines’ forms. • Re ferred to a special committee. The Senate took up the special order which was the consideration of the bill reorganizing the municipal government of the city of Augusta. A message being received from the Governor, which he desired considered in Executive session, Mr. Spear moved that the Senate go into Executive session, which was agreed to. The doors being open, tho death of the Hon. Mr. Moon, of Madison county, was announced from the House,and the Senate, after the passage of appropriate resolutions, adjourned in respect to bis memory until 10 o’clock Monday morning. The Senate confirmed Neal B. Knight as Judge of the Blue Ridge Circuit, and 11. P. Farrow as Attorney General. HOUSE. Tho memorial from the Ladies’ Cemetery Association of Jonesboro, was presented by Mr. Cloud, of Clayton. It was read, and referred to a special .committee of five. A resolution to pay committee-clerks was read aud adopted. The House resumed the consideration of the resolutiou relative to the eligibility of members. Mr. Bryant, rose and signified that he represented Mr. Colby, colored member from Greene. He said this was a question of constitutional law and of political impor tance. Nineteen Christian centuries look down oil us to-day. That man must be an infidel who does not see the overruling hand of Providence in the affairs of this nation for the last seven years. The spirit of the age is opposed to the speeches made on this sub ject yesterday. Mr. Scott appears to be a young Tuan, but he is nil old fogy ; he has forgotten this is an age ol progress. The precidchts of the past belong only to old fogies. Tne ideas of tho past are exploded. When we prate of negro supremacy it shows wc are afraid. If we are airaid that four millions of negroes will control thirty six iniliionu of whites, we are not deserving of our Anglo-Saxon blood. He said that at the time tho original thir teen States formed the Constitution, negroes voted in them all but South Carolina. Where the Declaration of Independence says, “We, the people,” it means negroes us well as whiles ; and when the gentleman says other wise, he belies history, and attempts to im pose upon our credulity. We are in less danger of social equality now than in the days of slavery. He said that nearly every one of the members now under trial had in their veins some of the very A oglo-Saxon blood’pf which the gentleman boasts. If the negroes were such as the gentleman from .Floyd represents, they would never listen to carpet-baggers aud scalawags. The gentleman aud his constituents have been fightin g. to take away tlie negroes’ rights. The Republicans propose to give them their rights. He believed his principles right. He wanted every Republican, now, in this their hour of need, to come up and stand up to the principles. He wanted no rotten timber in the party. The men who came into the Republican party to gobble up all the offices were au injury to the party, and this was a good time for them to leave. He then pro ceeded to argue the constitutional points involved. He said those who voted to turn out these men cemmittcd perjury Il you decide, said be, that these men are ineligible, is anything we have done legal ? Is not Georgia yet out of the Union? Governor Bullock Provisional Governor, and General Meade Commander-in-Chief? To turn out these men is revolution. When the Supreme Court of the United States admitted a negro attorney to practice in said Court, it admitted negroes to be citizens. Publicly and privately he had done all ho eould, ever since he hud been in the State, to prevent disturbances. He said should disturbances occur, the Democrats are responsible fur them. He said Mr. Cobb, Mr. Hill, and others were stirring up the people to another revolution. Mr. Bryant closed with a glowing compli ment to President Lincoln, etp. At the close of his speech Mr. Bethune offered the following: Resolved, That in view of the doubt rest ing on the minds of many, in regard to tbo question of. negroes holding office iu this Jstato under the new Constitution, and being no judicial decision settling the question, and it being important that this question should be settled at as early a day as practicable after sufficient time has been given for investigation, and desiring all light that can be shed upon this great issue; therefore, this House postpone further action on the amendment before tin; House, and being now discussed, until the next meeting of the General Assembly, and that the Judges of tho Supreme Court be requested to give their opinion in writ ing to this branch of the General Assembly til its next meeting, apd that the Clerk of this House do furnish each of the Judges of the Supreme Court with a copy of so much of the journals of this House as will enable them clearly to comprehend the question under-consideration without delay. Mr. Price rose to a question of privilege and offered the following : Whereas, Intelligence of the death of the Hon. J. B. Moon, Representative from Mad ison county, has been communicated to the House ; and Whereas, it becomes us as individuals and as members of this branch of the Gen eral Assembly, of which the deceased was lately a fellow-member, to bow sabmissively to the will of that Providence which has so inscrutably deprived us of his society and assistance, whicli has deprived his constitu ents of a worthy Representative on this floor, and which has removed from the bosom of bjs, tamily, a beloved husband and father. Be it, therefore, Resolved by the House of Representatives, That as a body, we deplore the death of the Hou. J. B. Moon, Representative from the coupty of Madisou, and cheerfully record our appreciation of his modest worth, his high integrity and sterling virtues as a man, a citizen and Representative. Resolved, That wc tender to the stricken widow aud bereaved children of the deceased our sincerest condolence. Resolved, That the Clerk of this House transmit to the family of the deceased a copy es the foregoing preamble and resolu tions. Resolved, That the House of Representa tives do now adjourn until to-morrow morn ing at 9 y’clock. iu honor of the memory of . the deceased. The House adjourned to 9 a. tn. to morrow. Hambnrg. On Wednesday the Legislature of South Carolina passed.a bi’l to repeal tho charter of the town of Hamburg—over the river. A petition, it is said has been sent to tire acting Governor asking him to veto the bill. __ •_ ' ’ ’ —Two hundred English pick pockets are said to have come over within the last month. Special to tho Augusta Republican.] From Atlanta. Atlanta, August 29, 1868. The House spent all its session in the discussion of the eligibility of negroes to hold office. Mr. Sims, of Chatham county, spoke during the entire session, and has the floor on Monday. A vote will not be reached before Tues day, or probably Thursday. The House concurred in the amendment of the Senate to the bill bearing on the municipal election in Savannah. The amend ment of the Senate allows three ballot-boxes instead of two. With this exception, the bill is exactly as the House passed it. ♦ ’ Washington Items- Washington, August 29.—1i0n, John U. Burch ami Colonel L.C. Beech, were recently appointed a delegation by the Tennessee Conservatives to visit tbc President. Burch was unable to come to tho delegation, «6 he. transferred his powers to Colonel David Looney, who. with Colonel Beech, had ti pro longed interview with the President. The President referred the delegation to the recent orders as limit executive power, but assured them that cvi ry power authorized by the Constitution and laws would be used to secure freedom of ballot, without inter ference from State or Federal troops. The President takes the grounds that tho Consti tution forbids the maintenance of standing • armies in any Slate, and that the act of 1865, disbanding and forbidding militia and volunteer force, is absolute in the South. Tho President's ground is that militia duty is incumbent upon every citizen, that it is an emergency force subject to be called from tho plow or loom at any mo ment, and from which no citizen can escape, but that a standing army of paid troops in any State unless called for and controlled by Federal authority is repug nant to the Constitution and laws. Every power of the Government will be used to put down standing armies of paid troops in the States. Beauregard and daughter are at Wil lard’s Hotel. Senator Morgan had a conference with Rollins and other Republicans to-day. W. W, Warden, heretofore short hand writer to the President, has been promoted to assistant private secretary to the Presi dent. Nothing definite regarding the September session. It seems to be generally conceded it will be too late to arm the Southern militia in time for the election, and there appears to be no other business meeting probable. Attorney General Evarts has advice that a habeas corpus for the murder of Spangler and Arnold, has been applied for in the Southern District of Florida. Rosencranz visited the President. Revenue to-day four hundred aud eighty thousand. Louisiana Legislature. New Orleans, August 29.—1 n the House, yesterday, an act was passed amending the charter of tho city oi Jefferson, and pro viding for the election of city officers on January Ist, empowering the Governor to remove the present incumbents. The latter were elected under Hie present Constitution. The House also passed a bill prohibiting any distinction, on account of race, color or previous condition, on routes of travel aud at places of entertainment and public resort. Marine News.
