We regret to announce that a personal difficulty occurred between two of our citi zens, yesterday afternoon, near the Christian Church, on Reynolds street—in which one of them was badly shot'by Ihv other. The assailant immediately gave himself up to the authorities, and was admitted to bail. There are conflicting rumors as to the origin of the difficulty, and as the affair will probably undergo legal investigation, we re frain at present from comment. Men Wanted. The great want of the age is mon, who are not for sale; men who are honest, sound from centre to circumference, true to the heart's core ; men who will condemn wrong in friend or foe, in themselves as well as in others ; men who can the tell the truth, and look the world and the devil right in the eye ; men that neither brag nor run ; men who have courage without whistling for it, and joy without shouting to bring it; mon in whom the current of everlasting life runs still ?nd strong; men too large for sectarian limits, and too strong for sectarian bonds 5 men who do not shiver or cry, nor cause their voices to bo hoard in the streets, but who will not fail nor be discouraged till judgement be set upon the earth ; men who know their message and tell it; men who know their duty and do it; men who know their place and fill it; men that will not lie ; men who arc not too lazy to work, nor too proud to be poor; mon who are willing to eat what they have earned, and wear what they have paid for. —— • • Political Truths. No man can be an honest believer in equal rights and equal suffrage, and yet vote to place the Government in control of the party which has so bitterly opposed both. No man can honestly desire recon struction, and yet vote to entrust the Gov ernment io a party controlled by copper heads and rebels. No man can honestly desire the safety, peace and honor of the nation, and yet vote to entrust the Govern ment to a set of men whd demand a coun ter revolution and are only restrained from demanding repudiation by a fear of defeat. In brief, the Republican who votes a Democratic ticket, as mutters now stand, simply gives the lie to all his past profes sions, abjures all his avowed principles, and admits that some personal motive —ambi- tion, passion, or prejudice—has more weight with him than any re sard for principle. Prise Fighting. The English police have lately been quite successful in their efforts to suppress prize fighting, while the reverse has generally been the case in this country, and, as a con sequence, there has been a regular exodus of the fighting fraternity to America. The business is entirely exotic here. There are few Americans among the votaries of the ‘ring.’ At the present time, quite a number of coming fights are being freely advertised in the papers, and as they come off, one after another, the most respectable journals sully their columns with minute reports. There can hardly be anything more corrupt ing and demoralizing, especially to the young. Il England can put down prize fighting, America can do it, and the law against it should be rigidly enforced. Pickling 'i'omuloeo. Select ripe tomatoes, with unbroken skins. Smooth ones are preferable. Put them into a weak brine, and let them remain in it thirty-six or forty-eight hours. Then put them into a pickle composed of one part of vinegar and two parts of soft water. These proportions are for good strong vinegar. Keep them pressed under the liquor. A bad smelling scum frequently collects on the surface, but it will not taint or hurt the fruit. To prepare for use —wash, skin and sweeten to taste. This has bee/tried for years, and haabeen found reliable and satisfactory. The testi mony of all who eat of the fruit so prepared is: “They taste so much like fresh toma. toes.” Enterprise. What does it mean? Does it mean to expend an immense amount of money with the view of obtaining the golden egg, and afterwards make people pay a large per centage on tbc investment, provided it suc ceeds ? Does it mean to work for nothing but glory, trusting to posterity td do justice to the memory of the foolhardy man, who had Enterprise on the brain, and hoping to break down competition and thereby get tbc field to himself, and when that is done make others pay the deficiency that lias been ex pended ? Now wc like to see enterprise, properly directed. We like to see every man and every woman successful. But that success must not be predicated on the idea of breaking down every thing and every body opposed to them in the business; for the enterprise would inure to the injury of many and to the advantage of one. Not a street cleaner, scavenger, huckster, butcher, or merchant, that would not like to have the say and the do in this particular business, who would not take advantage of the ncces. silies of the people to make his own business large and remunerative. If this is enter prise, throw it to the dogs. The people at large would rather be without it. They will make more by casting it overboard. Cool. * : " It is somewhat coal to offer a lady a four-inch seat in a horse-car, when the least she can effect a lodgment on is fourteen. The Illustration and Warning. ‘ Reconstruction is a failure,’ say the Democratic journals, and they point to floor gia as an evidence. So they pronounced the war fer the Union a failure; the South ern Democrats pronounced the Union a failure, and the enemies of freedom have time and again pronounced republican insti tutions a failure. Rut, are they? Is this what Democrats mean when they pronounce reconstruction a failure, simply because the old enemies of the Union and of free institu tions oppose it ? If so, it is but another manifesto oftho mad folly that has possessed them for the last ten years. Let them not be too fast and hopeful of the worst. The Republican party, sustained by the patriotic masses everywhere, have successfully op posed the hosts of treason for seven years. With the same support, they arc competent to finish what they have begun —restore peace and harmony, and secure credit and prosperity to the nation. They can take care o£ Georgia and liberalize Kentucky. It was necessary to have both of these, that the people might see, by their example, what modern Democracy meaiis, ’and thus be wnrned in time to avert fatal disaster. The lessons will be heeded. Democratic Trick. Prominent Republicans have spoken of the annoyance they have received recently from reports put in circulation that they had declared their intentions of voting for Seymour and Blair. It must be a des perate cause whose advocates seek to make c upital for it by such paltry means. It is a course of conduct which must react and hurt only the cause it is intended to sup port. Horatio had better write a letter forbiding such conduct, and recommending his friends to “ push the debt and taxa tion.” True, they have already pushed them up by their disloyal conduct to a pretty high figure ; but it. is possible that they may be able to push them u little higher. They can try. The JewiihNow Year. Bosh Ilashanah commenced yesterday evening, and will continue for two days, t, until the stars make their appearance to morrow evening The Hebrew year consisted of •twelve unequal mouths, which, previously to the exile, were lunar. The twelve solar months made up only 354 days, constituting a year, too short by eleven days. To remedy this, a month was intercalated every two or every three years. This supplementary month was added at the termination ol the sacred year; the twelfth mouth being Adurt the thirteenth was called Vendar, or Adar the second. The year began with the month Nissau, according to an express direction given by Moses (Exod. xii., 2, ami Numbers ix., 1); but this the Jews consider only the commencement of the ecclesiastical year, and the month of Tishri as the beginning of the eivil year. From Chambers' Payers for Ike People, we extract the following description : The period of Rosh Ilashanah is the most solemn of the whole year. Scripture and tradition unite in impressing upon it the character of profound awe. The latter de signates it as the anniversary of the creation of the universe, and as the day when the Supreme Being judges mankind, and pro nounces their doom for the year to come. It is, therefore, a period of repentance, for which a month’s previous preparation is made by additional prayers, services per formed before daybreak, and the blowing of theshofar. This primitive musical instrument consists of a ram’s horn cleaned, smoothed j and made bright by the known processes; having a tapering shape, and bent like s hook in the lower part, with a narrow opening at the top, and a wide one at the bottom. The shrill sounds to be produced by it have been arranged into various classes, each of which is designated by a special name ; and the party appointed to blow the horn must know these names, so as to be able to sound the particular tone required. Sacred as this festival is, it is yet only preparatory to that celebrated on the tenth of the month, culled the Day of Atonement. The whole of the ten days are for this reason called the Ten Days of Peni tence, and the holy days themselves the Days of Awe. The religious Jew looks for the avent of that period with feelings of rejoicing, mingled winglcd with uncom mon awe and reverence. He prepares himself for the due celebration of these festivals by a scrupulous self-examination, by the endeavor to compensate for any wrong he might have inflicted, to obtain the pardon of those be might have offended, and by fasting and penance for the purpose of expatiating the sins committed, lie holds that the Day of Atonement expatiates only sins committed against God, but does not affect offences committed against fellow men, unless their pardon be previously ob tained. Touching instances are recorded of individuals high in station, and eminent for learning, having at the approach of the Days of Awe humbly and repeatedly craved the pardon of persons in every reqpect their inferiors for the use of an opprobrious expression uttered in the heat of passion. Before draybreak a public service is held in the synagogue, and in the afternoon, be fore the advent of the festival of the new year, another is performed, after which the religious bathe. The evening service is not distinguished by any particular feature.— At the evening meal, some rare fruit, com ing in season, and an apple with new honey, are always present. The eating of the former is preceded by the solemn benedic tion, ‘Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, who has kept us alive, and preserved us, and allowed us to attain to this period.’— The eating of the latter is typical of a sweet new year. The morning service begins at daybreak : the faithful hasten to the syna gogue before tasting food. The devotion with which he implores divine mercy for the forgiveness of hissins is most exemplary. With his ample prayer-boolr before him, he turns his face toward the wall, and wraps himielf up so completely in his scarf that nothing but his face remains uncovered. The more scrupulously religious put on the white robe mentioned above, and those officiating in the service always appear in it. The most sacred part of the service, as mentioned before, is the blowing of tbc shofar. It is the duty of each adult Israelite to hear its son nd, and no one in good health would venture to break bis fast before his ear has caught the sounds of the shofar. An awful stillness prevails before this part of the service begins, during which every one prepares himself in silence for the act, while a special prayer is offered up by the party appointed to blow the horn. At last the solemn silence is interrupted by the bid ding of the minister, “blow and" the sum mons is obeyed. Thrice the minister bids, and thrice the horn sounds, after which a prayer is recited, when the same ceremony is twice repeated. —Grass is growing in the streets of J-ynchburg, Va. [From the Atlanta Constitution. The Georgia Legislature. Atlawta, September 15. SENATX. Mr. Urock moved to reconsider so much of the journal ol yesterday as related to the action of the Senate on the rejection bf the bill to amend the oath of grand jurors. On motion to reconsider the yeas and nays were taken. There being a tie, the Presi dent voted yea, and the motion to reconsider prevailed. The House bill authorizing the Governor to borrow money for the payment of officers and members of the General Assembly, which the Senate committee amended by adding the words “and other expenses,” was taken up. Mr. Candler moved to amend the bill so as the amount borrowed should not exceed $200,000, and' the rate of discount uot to exceed 7 per cent. The amendment was lost, and the report of the committee agreed to. The bill, as amended by the committee, was passed, and ordered to be transmitted. Mr. Moore, of the joint committee ap pointed to examine the books of the late Comptroller General and Treasurer of tho State, was read, taken up, and adopt ed, and ordered to be transmitted to the House. The report proves that no money has been misapplied. Senate then took up the special order, which was the House bill granting State aid to the Air Line Railroad. Mr. Holcombe spoke in favor of the bill. Mr. Nunnally opposed it on the ground that the Legislature had no right, under the Constitution,To extend aid to any railroad, until certain provisions shall have been com plied with, of which, in the present instance, no evidence had been shown. Mr. Welborn argued that the bill complied with tho requirements of the Constitution, and was in harmony with the interests of the people. Mr. Brock followed iu favor of the bill. He thought it would be one of the best pay ing roads in the United States. Pending the discussion of the bill the rules were suspended, and House res dufion ex pressing the sense of that body on the death of Hou. W. A. Ballard, one ol its members, was received and read. The Senate concurred in the resolution, and adjourned in respect to the deceased. - House. Mr. Bethune moved to reconsider the ac tion of the House iu the passage of the sub stitute offered by Mr. Duncan, providing the manner of drawing juries—3-aid substitute continuing in force the law as it now stands in Irwin’s Code, with Constitutional provi sions. He spoke in favor of the motion to reconsider; said the substitute could never become a law; it would never pass the Senate and the Governor. The motion to reconsider prevailed, Mr. Williams, of Dooly, moved to recon sider so much of the proceedings ol yester day as relates to the bill to reduce the bonds of county officers. This bill was indefinitely postponed yesterday. Mr. O’Neal spoke in favor of the motion to reconsider, because the great bulk of the property in the State had been destroyed, and the people were not now able to give large bonds. The Homestead protects so many people that if it was necessary to get a good bond in many counties it should be reduced. The previous question was called, and the yeas aud nays required, and were yeas 71, nays G 4. So the motion to reconsider pre vailed. On motion of Mr. Shumate, the message of his Excellency was taken up and read. It was a veto of the Augusta Municipal bill. The veto states that the objections to the bill are of a Cunstitulioiml character. Mr. Shumate called die previous question, and the vote was taken on the bill to pass over the Governor’s veto, and resulted as follows: Yeas IW, nays 45. It being a tie, the Chair voted in the negative, and the bill failed to pass over the Governor’s veto. The Committee appointed to investigate the eligibility of the four remaining colored members who claim to have less than one eighth negro blood, report that Fyall, of Macon county, has more than one eighth negro blood iu his veins, and therefore they recommend that he be declared ineligible to a sent iu this House. Mr. Bryant called for the evidence. The Chair ruled that it was not neoes sary to produce tho evidence, us the com mittee was appointed for the purpose of examining it. Mr. Rawls then moved that the evi dence be read, as it was short, to satisfy all parties. The evidence was read. Fyall swore that his parents were French, and came to South Carolina during the days of nullification. Mr. Alley swore that he knew Fyall well; that his mother was a mulatto; that she was half white and half negro, and that he could produce three hundred persons that would swear to these facts. Fyall was sold to Judge Lochrane before the war, and also to Dr. Thomson. The yeas aud nays were required, and resulted as follows: Yeas 22, nays 0— Republicans refusing to vote. Byall's seat was declared vacant. A communication was read announcing the death of the Hon. W. A. Ballard, of the county of Monroe, a member of this House. Mr. Phillips offered resolutions on the death of Mr. Ballard, and moved the House do adjourn till to-morrow morning nt nine o'clock in honor of the memory of this gentleman. A committee was appointed to accom pany the remains to the family burying ground in the county of Jasper, consisting ofMessrs. Phillips, Lane and Glover. Mr. Harper moved to take up the resolu lution amended iu the Senate, authorizing the Governor to borrow money to pay the members of the Legislature, nnd called the previous question. The vote was taken, and the resolution, as amended, was adopt ed. Mr. Scott wanted the yeas and navs called. The motion to call the yeas and navs was lost. Mr. Shumate—There is a resolution to give Mis’s Williams, of Cblumbus, and Miss Green, of Ressaca, a free pass over theq State Road, acted upon iu (he Senate, move that we concur in this resolution- Con curred in. Mr. Dunean, from the committee to inves tigate the books of the former Treasurer and Comptroller-General, announced that the report was ready, and moved that a suffi cient number of copies be printed lor the use of the House, and laid before the House to-morrow, which motion prevailed. On motion of Mr. Sanssy, the House ad journed, in respect to the memory of Hon". Mr. Ballard, till to-morrow morning, nine o’clock. ♦♦♦■ Chiguonn, For the information of the large number of our readers who patrouize Chignons, we would state that a French ship lately arrived al Havre, from Vera Cruz, with a cargo of hair only, which consisted principally of Indian scalps.

In the Semite, the bill granting aid to the Air-Line Railroad passed. Yeas 31, nays 3. Also, the bill granting aid to the South Georgia and Florida Railroad. Yeas 30 nays 4. A bill amending the charter of the M. & N. Railroad [>asscd. « Also, to increase the capital stock of tho Georgia Railroad, and allow the Company to extend tho road from Athens to Clayton. A resolution was adopted in reference to the surrender of the charter of the Bank of Savannah. The bill organizing the District Court will be the special order for Friday next. In the House the right of the Chair to vote when two-thirds is counted, by which the veto of the Augusta Municipal Bill was sustained, was discussed. The Chair ruled that be had a right to vole. An appeal was taken, and the decision of the Chair was overruled ; so the bill passed over the veto by just two-thirds. Two more new members were sworn in to-day. The hill in relation to the selection of upright and intelligent jurors was taken up and discussed until the hour for ad journment. Washington Items Washington, D. C., September 16. The Paymaster General’s report fur the fiscal year ending June last, shows the cost of reeoruiruction to be one million nine hundred and forty-three thousand dollars. Nothing official has been received from Maine. The Commissioner of Agriculture has perfected arrangements for the exchange of seeds with nearly all the Governments' of the world. A quorum in the Senate on Monday is thought improbable. If there is no quorum Congress stands adjourned to the first Mon day in December, by •irtue of the terms of the resolution authorizing a September session. * Revenue to-day two hundred and ten thousand dollars. Alabama Legislature- Montgomery, September 16. The Legis lature met in extra session to day. McCraw, Speaker of the House, having been appointed Chancellor, resigned the farmer position. G. F. Harrington, of Mpbile, was elected Speaker without opposition. Major-General Howard is in the city, and was invited to a seat in the House. He will address the members to-night at 8 o’clock. Governor Smith sent in a short message. It relates almost entirely to the duty of pro viding a registration law. Cablegram*. Beiu.ix, Sept. 10 -Bismarck has been ordered to England by his physicians. Kiel and King William will review the fleet here. Kiel, in replying to the address of the University, expressed the hope of continued European tranquility. King William said: “1 do not see any cause for the disturbance of the peace of Europe. In the army and the navy I be hold the vigor of the Fatherland. They have proved that they do not shun the com bat, and if compelled to engage iu conflict they will fi. l.t it out.” London, Sept. 10. The importation of hay from the United States will only here after be permitted <>n lieenso Irom the Privy Council. The cattle disease, in various parts of the United States, is the cause of this.
