(gh I H’» Cold!
Yesterday was decidedly chilly, It made
one think of overcoats, comfortable fires,
and hot toddies. The thermometer in the
Risri'BLiCAS office fell at the rite of a de’
gree for every three hours ; nn ’ it continues
to grow colder. If the weather was fair we
should doubtless have a visit Irom Jack
Frost this morning. Very likely the rascal
will be here soon. MsSbe, when ho does
come, with all the othcrsinurdcr he commits,
be will kill the chills.
<lmnl*nic«.
A very fat lady, on getting into an om
nibus. heard a gentleman [?frenmrk, “Om
nibuses were not made for elephants.”* To
this she replied, "Sir, omnibuses are like
Noah’s Ark, intended to carry all sorts of
beasts.”
Army and Navy.
A~young man told Dr. Bethune that lie
had enlisted in the Army of Zion.
"In which one of the churches?” asked
the doctor.
‘■ln the Baptist,” was the reply.
“I should call that joining the Navy,’’
was the doctor’s response.

How lo Judge Use Weatber.
The color of the sky at different tunes
afford wonderfully good guidance. Not only
does a bright sunset presage fair weather,
but there arc other tints which speak with
clearness and accuracy. A bright yellow in
tbe evening indicates wind ; a |iale yellow
wet; a neutral gray color constitutes a
favorable sign in the evening—aii unfavora*
ble one in the morning. The clouds are full
of meaning in themselves. If they are soft,
undefined and feathery, the weather will be
tine ; if the edges are hard, sharp and defi
. nite, it will be foul. Generally speaking,
any deep, unusual hues betoken wind and
rain, while tbe more quiet and delicate tints
bespeak fair weather.
Simple as the maxims are, the British
Board of Trade has thought fit to publish
them for tbe use of sea-fairing men.
Careless Poisoning.
Cyanuret of potassium is in frequent use
for the purpose ol dissolving out the black
marks of indellible ink, of which nitrate of
silver is always an essential ingredient.
This compound of potassium, when pure,
resembles porcelain in is freely
soluble in water, and when taken into the
stomach, acts as deadly poison. Il is like
wise liable to cause ulceration on any p t
of the flesh that comes in uontact with .t
Hence, great care is required in the use of
this substance, not to touch it with the band,
unless it is in a very weak solution ; and
above all, not to touch to the lips any vessel
that has contained it, till it is thoroughly
washed out.
- • <1 ■> ——
Tbe Indian Dilficultiea.
The hostile Indians arc estimated at
78,800, comprising about 25,000 warriors.
There are eleven tribes in all included in
this estimate, and others, counted friendly j
are more or less hostile. This gives us
some idea of the difficulty of keeping them
under subjugation, scattered as they are
over immense tracts and thoroughly ac
quainted with every mile of the country.
With nothing like fixed habitations, having
no homes to defend, but wandering from
place to place, and keeping up a predatory
style of warfare, the conflict with them is a
very perplexing and hazardous one, and
necessarily a very expensive one. Il will
probably be some years yet before the ad
vance of civilization will have pushed the
Indians into a sufficiently narrow circumfer
ence to allow of their complete subjugation
or the possibility of their extermination, as
ths emergencies of the case may demand.
The probability is that hunger, disease and
whiskey will have finished the Indians long
before the sword can possibly reach them.
‘ Lo, the poor Indian I’
Herulstdur.
The fae.t that WinteY,- bleak and dreary
• Winter, is so near at hand should awaken
our well-provided people to a sense of their
duty to the. suffering poor in this community.
They are nameless, and their wants have
been greatly multiplied by the continuous
tightness of the times. We know there is
Augnsta wealth enough, if not charity suffi
cient, to relieve all our worthy poor, and
enable them to live in comparative comfort
throughout the Winter mouths. Shall this
Christain duty remain unperformed ?
It would be a most excellent idea il a
committee of youug aud energetic men
could be formed by delegates from eaeh of
our pity churches, who might meet together
and form a Christian Board of Relief, whose
duty it should be to collect aid and assist
ante from tbe kind-hearted and benevolent,
and distribute the same in such directions
as circumstances might demand. The really
Poor and suffering could have thus their
wants supplied, and but little trouble would
lall upon the shoulders of any one member
of the Board, provided they worked iu puison.
Ihe Howard Association of New Orleans is
ample proof that young men with kind hearts
can do a vast amount es good, and we
earnestly hope that a Benevolent Society, to
relieve the wants of the poor, may be orga
nized in thia city forthwith. ■ There is great
need of stick an institution, and the sooner
dis got up tbe mere good can be aecom
pliahed.

[AUlanta Intelligencer.
We leant fiotn a gentleman who has
passed through the country on the Alabama
side, for thirty or forty miles below this city,
near the river, that tbe destruction of cotton
by tbe caterpillar is very great. The fields
arc nearly stripped, and the work of destruc
tion is still going on. We need hardly add
that this terrible enemy has greatly cut short
the crop in that region.
[ Columbus Enquirer,
We regret to learn that on Saturday last
as Mr. William Cox was riding in his buggy
his horse became frightened and ran. Mr.
Cox was unfortunately thrown out and so
severely injured that he lived but a fuw
hours. Thus has been cut off in the vigor
of early manhood one of our best citizens.
[Sandersville Georgian.
On Tuesday the following gentleman were
admitted to the Bar; Thomas H. Whitaker,

acquitted themselves with credit.

The engine on the Selina, Rome and
Dalton railroad came up to Big Cedar Creek

eight hundred pounds.— lbid.
