Auguota Police.
A good police are essential to the quiet,
good order and security of a large town.
They are eyes by day and night for the con
gregated masses. The inhabitants are
attending to their diversified pursuit# by day,
and they sink into slumber at night, depend
ent upon the watchful guardianship of the
police. Crime is thus cheeked in its careel
of mischief, or brought to the bar o! justice
for the retribution of its perpetrator. We
have had frequent occasion to notice the
activity and energy, in detecting crime in its
various degrees and enormities, displayed
by our present chjpf and his deputies. We
have not alluded to the subject now to bring
any special cases to public notice, but
merely, in general terms, to refer to the fact
of the untiring watchfulness the
good order and safety of our city is guarded,
by its excellent police. This gives a con
stant feeling of security to the citizen, and
confers character upon the morality of the
city abroad—both of which are essential to
its prosperity and the well being of its in
habitants.
False Report.
Rev. L. B. Carter (colored) sends the
following, which we insert as a matter of
justice to a worthy colored man :
Augusta, Ga., September 4, 1868.
Notice to all:—It has been reported by
some mean persons that I have turned
Democrat. I have never and never will be
oue. No one can truthfully say that I ever
advised any of my race to join that party
lam a Minister of the Gospel, and have
.itflt to do with such things. All I have to.
say to my race is, to stand together as ono
man, and vote for Grant and Colfax. This
is the best thing for the country.
Rev. L. B. Carter (colored).

The City Hospital.
Hospitals for the maintenance of the indi
gent sick and insane are necessary for all
cities, and in some instances are sources of
considerable expense to the communities in
which they are situated ; but an enlightened
benevolence erects them everywhere, where
stricken poverty, afflicted with disease, places
its victims beyond the help of personal labor
and exertion. A hospital, then, is a mono,
ment to the charity and benevolence of any
community in which it is found.
We were led, recently, to visit that of our
city. To our surprise, we found but five
patients within its walls. These were com
fortably situated, and . appear pleased and
contented with the treatment which they
receive at the hands of the attentive keeper,
Dr. Jbanes. The buildiug is well adapted
to the purpose, being large, airy and com
modious, consisting of two stories and a
roomy attic.
The house is kept in neat and good order,
and every requisite attention is paid to those
who, for a time at least, have to make it a
home of relief from the oppressions of dis
ease and poverty. We were gratified to see
this useful and charitable provision made by
our City Council, so well adapted to the
objects to be effected ; as also to know that
the keeper is not wanting in those attentions
so essential to the proper protection, the
comfort and restoration to health, of the un
fortunate poor who arc placed under his
charge. Nothing is wanting--so far as the
building, manager, and medical attendance
are concerned—to carry out the philanthro
pic purposes of the city authorities. It ia
gratifying to know that while every meansis
afforded to take proper care of those who
need public charity, so few are uecessitated
to seek its assistance'within the reach of this
humane asylum.
MaiiMe.
Wo notice that the Protestant Churchman,
organ of the low-ehurch wing of the Epis
copal denomination, requests its contribu
tors to use tho phrase “ our church/’ or
“ Episcopal Chureh,” instead of “ the
church,” because it considers tho latter
phrase as absurd as it is unchristian, and
“as a part of the' numerous progeny of
high church popery, they hope that
evangelical men will cease to use it in their
writings.” j
There is common sense, common de
censy, and Christian charity in the recom
mendation.
‘The Grecian Bend.’
The latest fashionable folly is christened
the Grecian Bend. It seems to be a vulgar
style of posture which Miss McFlimsey as
sumes, in order to set off her style of dress
to greater advantage. A correspondent at
Saratoga describes it is as irresistibly sug
gestive of a lame kangaroo. The protuber
ance behind, known as the panier, sur
mounts a train from four to six feet in
length. High-heeled shoes dispose the
wearer to incline forward, and she is thus
more readily enabled to elevate her hips
unnaturally behind, enhancing the aspect
of the panier, and forming au 8-like curva
ture of the upper part of her body, throw
ing out her chest, drawing back her shoul
ders and bending forward her head. 8o
bent and deformed, the belle constrains her
elbows against her sides; and, with hori
zontal forearms, and little gloved hands
dangling from limp wrists, tilts painfully
along. The Grecian Bend is said to be
quite painful and wearisome, and some
girls adopt artificial contrivances to aid
them iu preserving .the posture for several
consecutive hours,

The Georgia Legislature.
A»j.a*ta, September 3, Ifi?.
SENATE. * .
Mr. Hinton moved to reconsider so much
of yesterday’s proceedings as relates to tho
bill for tho relief of Mrs. Margaret W.
Crew.. Ho made Alic nivtiqu for the pur
pose of amending flic bill.
The previous question was called, and
tho motion to reconsider was lost.
The Augusta bill was then taken up, Mr.
Wooten in the Chair.-
Mr. Nunnall having the floor, said ; I
hope that this will not lie made a party
measure. It'should bo dunobjeci to got an
election that will suit the citizens of that
city.
(He commented very closely, pointing
out many olyectionablc grounds.)
Mr. Higbee said there was a printer’s
mistake in the bill.
Mr. Nunnally thought there was a mis
take in the author, and could not see how
tho gentleman could make sense by correct
ing the mistake he proposed.
Mr. Merrell—l think it is not right to
require a certificate of registration. This
has been tried and found not to work well
in Augusta. He had been informed that
while the law was in force tint# little boys
had boon ;hlHd aad giked as much as ten
dollars to slip this certificate from votert
while they slept. He was informed of this
recently, by citizens of Augusta.
[He spake in favor of Mr. Conley’s sub
stitute.]
Mr. Harris—l feel as much interested as
liny one in the good of Augusta; it has
been iny place of trade for a number of
years. If the bill offered by the Senator
from the 39th meets the views of a majority
of the citizens of Augusta I have been mis
informed ; they want the election as soon as
possible.
Mr. Holcombe —When the bill was first
talked of, the Senator from the 27th (Mr.
Harris) said he would not vote for it, because
it proposed to bring on the election too soon;
now he says the time is too far off. I fear
that the party lash has been applied to the
Senator from the 27th, that, makes him so
ready to now go directly opposite to his
former views.
The vote was then taken on the House
bill, and it was lost.
On motion a message from the Governor
was taken up and read, in regard to tho con
dition of the finances of the State. Also, a
letter from the present Treasurer, stating
that there was no funds on hand, and wait
ing a settlement with the former Treasurer.
Mr. Hungerford moved it be referred to
tho Finance Committee, which motion was
agreed to
The special order of the day was an
nounced, and on motion of Mr. Holcombe,
the Air-Line Railroad bill was taken up and
read.
Mr. Holcombe moved to amend the House
bill so as to require the road to run by or
near Gainesville. He spoke in favor of this
amendment.
Mr. Holcombe—There has been three
routes surveyed for the Air-Line Railroad
one that makes an air line to Anderson
Court House, another that goes byway of
Gainesville, and a middle route. My reason
for asking this amendment is, that should
this road be built by these routes the people
who live in Northeast Georgia would fail to
be so benefitted unless the road runs by the
Gainesville route. This route is twelve miles
shorter than either of the others.
The amendments were adopted and the
bill as amended passed, and was ordered to
be transmitted at once to the House for con
currence in the amendment. [This bill is
not the one granting aid to the Air-Line
Railroad, but the one to amend its charter.]
Mr. Speer moved to suspend the rules to
take up a bill to incorporate the Nutting
Banking Company, of Macon, Ga.
The rules were suspended and the bill
taken up. The report of the committee was
agreed to. The Constitution requiring the
yeas and nays, they were called, and the bill
lost, not receiving two-thirds, as required.
Mr. McArthur—A bill to give persons who
furnish timber, and employees of steam saw
mills a lien on the .mill. Bill read the first
time.
The following message was received from
the Governor:
Jfr. President —The Governor has signed
the following act, to-wit: nn act to authorize
the holding of the Superior Cpurts at the
ensuing fall term, and tv provide [dries there
for.
The following message was received from
the House:
Mr. President —The House qf Representa
tives has concurred in the following resolu
tion of the Senate, to-wit: a resolution re
questing the Governor to prohibit armed
and unlawful assemblages, which I aui
directed to transmit forthwith to this branch
of the General Assembly.
Mr. Brock—A bill for the relief of A. L.
Sutherland, of the county of Whitfield.
Read the first time.
Mr, Smith, of the 36th —An act to regu
late judicial sales of real estate.
Mr. Nunnally—A bill for tho relief of
persons whose lands were sold under tax fi.
fa.’s for the year 1860 to 1865 inclusive.
Mr. Hinton—A bill for tho relief of Mar
garet W. Cross, of the county of Marion.
Mr. Candler—A bill to alter the line be
tween the counties of Henry and DeKalb,
so as to include the residence of John Cal
loway in the county of Henry.
The Senate adjourned till 9 o'clock to
morrow.
HOUSE.
The House resumed tho unfinished busi
ness of yesterday, it being the eligibility of
colored members.
Mr. Turner (colored) obtained the floor
and requested that the House extend the
time in his favor.
Several propositions were then made,
relative to the request, by different mem
bers, and finally
Mr. Shumate rose and said that inasmuch
as the House had previously consented -to
give Turner as much time as he desired, he
moved, as a compromise, to fix some time,
that he be allowed two hours for his defense.
The motion w»s agreed to.
Mr. Turner (colored) having the floor,
made a lengthy speech, and closed his argu
ment as follows: 11 a war was to break out
to morrow, I would use my influence to pre
vent the colored man from raising an arm
in defence of Georgia. If I happen to get
killed in this campaign, my colored friends,
I tell you to-day never to enter the ranks of
warfare in defence of Georgia. Don’t fight
for a country that refuses to recognize your
rights as citizens. If this Legislature turns
us out, 1 will call for a convention of colored
men, and we will send to the North for more
carpet-baggers, to Ireland for more Irish
men, in order to regulate the government of
Georgia so far as to mete out justice to the
colored people of this State. Black nton,
hold up your heads. Other men, in times
past, have been persecuted, and thank God,
they have arisen above the prejudices of
their adversaries. White men, stop your
war upon the black man. I will pall the
silver veil from off the face of the Democ
racy when I leave Mere, aud will poison the
black man against its ignoble principles-
This (thing means revolution. After we
leave, the next thing will be to turn out
carpet-baggers aud scalawags, impeach the
Governor, and Tipturn the whole State Gov
ernment just inaugurated, aud the result
will be —God only knows where it will end.
The House then adjourned to 3 o’clock
this afternoon.

Culture of Wheat.
A variety of reasons urge the planters of
Georgia to a more extensive eultivation of
Wheat. We presume at thia <lay that no
one will dispute the importance of n greater
division ol labor and n judicious rotation of
crops, as far as soil, climate »nd markets
will permit them. The South is waking up
to the importuned of a greater diversion of
labor and capital. Hence the increase of
manufactories, the erection of foundries and
mills of various kinds throughout our bor
ders. Il affords a proud satis fact ion to
Georgians to see the asteaueu which our
Stale is making in these important respects.
Os course, as labor nud capital is variously
distributed, there will be a greater demand
for the various productions of lhe respective
pursuits of the people. Our people are
allured into manufacturing industry by the
diminished value of agricultural productions
and the greater profits which the former will
yield. Hence the products of tha soil will
necessarily command better prices lo supply
the demand of those who do not aid in pro ;
'ducing them.
The constant cultivation oi eoru and cut
ten tends to the impoverishment of tho aojl,
and the general deterioration of the wealth
of the State. If there is any truth in these
general statements, we can with safety
urge a greater cultivation of wheat than is
now practiced by the planters of Georgia.
It appears to be a truth, judging from the
prise of wheat and flour, that their cultiva
tion and manufacture have not kept pace
with the advance of population and the de
mand for tlieir consumption. Thia we infer
from the price of this valuable article of
food. We have been led to the foregoing
remarks from the consideration of the in
ducements which are offering in this State
to cause its increased culture not only in
the consumption of. flour, but its excellent
preparation for, market.
