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). r- 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, (From-the Atlanta (Constitution. 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. . ' —The cattle plague has broken out in Humboldt, Tenn. Augusta Prices Current Augusta, Ga., September 4,18G8.fi FINANCIAL. GBOROIA BANKS.

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.
