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. [From the Atlanta Constitution. The tieergia Legislature. Ati.awta, September 16. SENATE. Mr.,Hinton resumed the discussion of tbe bill extending aid to the Air-Line Railroad.

Mr. Shumate moved to perfect the journal so fur as relates to the point of order made by Mr. Duncan, of Houston, on the passage of the Augusta bill by a two-thirds vote over the Governor’s veto. The Chair decided that he had a right to vote on the question. Mr. Shumate appealed from the decision of tbe Chair, and read the clause in the Constitution relating to the duty of the Qhair. Also, the second rule of the House on tbe duties of the Speaker, which is as follows: "Iu all cases of election by the House the Speaker shall vote. In other cases, he shall not vote, unless the lljuse shall be equallydivided, or unless his vote, if given to the minority, will make the division equal, and in such cases of equal division, the question shall be lost.” The yeas and nays were required, and were —-yeas 82, nay 44. Mr. Bethune raised the point of order that on a vote of two-thirds to change the decis ion of the Chair, it would not require a two thirds to reverse. The Chair ruled that a was only necessary.

He moved to lay the amendment on the table, The amendment was, on vole, laid on the table. The vote was taken on the bill on its passage, and stood—yeas 127, nays 1 (Platt Madison.)

Mr. Harper, of Terrell, spoke in favor of the substitute offered by Jlr. Duncan. He was not willing to vote againt a law because the Senate would not pass it or that the Governor would veto it, a* the gentleman (Mr. Bethune) had charged they would do. He came hero to vote as he thought proper, aad intended to vote as he thought, not as the Senate or the Governor said. He was emphatically opposed to ignorant negroes being drawn on the jury. It was proper and he would vote for no bill that did not prohibit them from sitting npon tho jury.

Blood worth, Griffin; Littleton R. Brewer, Griffin; Thomas Ogletree, Spaldiug county; John P. Stewart, Spalding county; David Thompson, Butts county; Larkin D. Walton, Butts connty. The issue docket occupied the greater portion of the setting of the Court, a number of cases being disposed of—none of them of any very general interest. One verdict of $406 was given where $502 were claimed. Hon. Wm. M. Reese, of Wilkes county, was admitted to practice in the United States Courts. Three individuals were convicted of dis tilling in violation of law, and were sen tenced to imprisonment for terms varying from four days to two months. [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, of Milledgeville, Ga., Edward L. Lewis, son of Hon. Miles W, Lewis, of Greene. We were not present al the examination, but learn from members of the Bar that they acquitted themselves with credit. [ Greensboro Herald. The engine on the Selina, Rome and Dalton railroad came up to Big Cedar Creek last Tuesday. They expect to cross that stream to-day and will probably reach Rome in about one mouth.— Rome Courier. Who Can Beat It.— Mr. R. W.'White head, of Lake Creek, Polk county, has laid upon our table a yellow yam potato that weighs 44 pounds, mid o( symetrical pro'- |H>rtions.
