The days for plowing, building, traveling and marrying are laid down with the greatest minuteness. The whole period of four seasons is divided into twenty-four solar terms, uu possessing a characteristic name, and corresponding to the day on which the sun covers the first or fifteenth degree of one of the twelve signs of the zodiac. As the Chinese is a lunar calandar, the places of these solstices, equi noxes, etc., which regulate the three great festivals of the year, are changed every year. There is also the intercalculation of the arrears of the Chinese year of 354 days, which, in a period of thrily-two or thirty three mouths, amount to a great month ol thirty days, which is introduced every two or three years in such a»vay as to preserve the order of these twenty-four periods. Instruments Requiring Stamps, All notes and evidences of debt, five cents on each $100: if under SIOO, five cents; if over SIOO, five cents on each ad ditional SIOO, or part thereof.

Mortgage bonds need not , be stamped if stamps are affixed to the mortgage. All appraisements of estate or estrays, five cents on each sheet or piece of paper. Affidavits of every description are exempt from stamp duty. Acknowledge ments to deeds, etc., are also exempt. Con tracts and agreement's five cents, except for rents; when for rent, fifty cents for each S3OO of rent or less, if over $300; fifty cents for S2OO or over S3OO. Any persons interested can affix and cancel stamps. Itimedy for Insects’ Bites, When a musquito, (lea, gnat, or other noxious insect punctures the human skin, it deposits or injects un atom ot an acidulous fluid of a poisonous nature. This causes an irritation, a sensation of tickling, itching, or ot pain. The tickling of fleas wo are comparatively indifferent about; but the itch produced by the flea or gnat, or other noisome insect, disturbs our serenity, and, like*?he pain of a wasp or bee sting, excites us to a ‘remedy.’ The best remedies (or the sting of insects arc those which will instantly neutralize (he acidulous poison deposited in the skin. These are either ammonia or borax. The nlkalihe reaction of the borax is scarcely yet sufficiently appreciated. However, a time will come when its good qualities will be known, and more universally valued than ammonia, or’, as it is commonly termed ‘hartshorn.’ Borax is a salt of that inno cent nature that it may be kept in every household; it can be recommended as a j domestic and harmless chemical. The solution of borax for insect bites is made thus: Dissolve one ounce of borax in one pint of waler, that has been boiled and allowed to cool. Instead ot plain water, distilled rose-water, elder, or orange-flower , water is more agreeable. The bites are to be dabbed with the solution so loitg as there is any irritation. For bees’ or wasps’ sting the borax solution may be made of twice the above strength. " •- "• ■ How Hampton Gained Hi* Buds. The most iiyudicious thing done by the Democrats since they began the attempt to resuscitate their dead party, was the ad mission of many unrepentant rebels into their National Convention. The cele brated Philadelphia Johnson Convention was much wiser in not allowing Vai., landigham ami other leading rebels to take conspicuous part in the doings of the occasion. In New York the relx-ls had it all their own way, greatly to the disgust of thoughtful Democrats throughout tire country. By their interference with the platform they destroyed all its chances of success with the people. By putting Blaiu on the ticket they left no chance for its election. By the reckless comments made upon the platform and the candi dates in their speeches, they give them the final blow which consigns them to de- I struction. Wade Hampton, in a speech at ton, in which he reports to his constituents his doings in New York, tells them how he infused the virfis of his treason into the platform. “I knew that I was representing the feelings of my people,” said he. “1 said I would take the resolutions if they would allow me to add but three words, which you will find embodied in the plat iorm. I added this: ‘And we declare that the Reconstruction Acts are revolutionary, unconstitutional and void.’ (Immense cheering.) When I proposed that, every member of the Committee—and the warm est men in it were the men of the North— came forward and said they would carry it °ut to the end.” How much like the old, imperious, plantation style that sounds, “I would take tfte resolutions." When Hampton con eluded to accept the resolutions ‘‘the men °f the North” came forward to the Pat metto chief, and paid him their respects, pledging themselves to subserve his pur poses “to the end.” —The aristocracy market is glutted in Msia. There are only 10,000 princes. Augusta Prices Current Avgusta, Ga., September 18,18G8- FINANCIAL. ÜBOHGtA HANKS.

The Senate took up the message of the Governor in reference to the action of the Senate on the resolution declaring the seats of George Wallace and T. G. Campbell (colored) vacant. The Senator from the Second Senatorial District, Mr. Gignilliat, appeared, was qualified, and took bis seat. The message vetoeing the Atlanta City •Court bill was read and the veto susiained unanimously. Mr. Canaler offered a resolution that, inasmuch as the Senate was solo judge of the qualificatien of its own members, end that a simple request had been made to the Governor as the custodian of the election returns to furnish the names of these elected in tbo place of those claiming tlic highest number of votes, therefore, that the portion of the message only giving the desired information be entered upon the Journa\ und thrt the balance be expunged. Mr. Candler claimed that the Governor had, under cover of the Exective Depart ment, insulted the dignity, lie ]wblishcs to the world that this body, no matter by what vote, has violated the Constitution, and also our oaths. Mr, Brock thought the resolution un unjust assault on the Governor. Mr. Smith, of the 30th, considered the resolution discourteous. He would- vote against it. Mr. Nunnall said, ■ while he should vote lor the resolution, thought that the lan guage should bo somewhat niodittcd. Mr. Harris spoke in opposition. Jlr. Merrell —What! Is the Governor to be censured for merely expressing an opinion which has been expressed by gen tlemen here three months ago. Mr. Adkins called the previous question, which was sustained. On the main question the yeas any nays were called and rasulted as follows: Yeas 16. nays 18. * Those who voted in the affirmative are— Messrs. Anderson, Burns, Candler, Collier, Fain, Griffin (21 st). Hinton, Holcombe. Les ter, McArthur, McCutchen, Moore, Nisbet, Wellborn, Winn aud Wooten—l 6. Those who voted in the negative uro- Messrs. Adkins, Bowers, Brock, Coleman, Corbitt, Dickey, Griffin (6tl>), Harris, Hig bee, Jones, Merrell, McWhorter, Bichard son, Sherman, Smith (36th), Speer, Stringer and Welch —lB. So the resolution was not adopted. The rules were suspended and a bill was taken up amending an act incorporating the town of Lumpkin, in the county of Stewart. The bill was passed and ordered to be transmitted. The rules were suspended and a House bill incorporating the town of West end, in tlie county of Fulton was road the finst lime. Also, a bill to appropriate money for tho educitiou of the deaf and dumb in this State.” The tax bill was read the second lime, and referred to the Senate and finance committee. The regular order was proceeded with, being the reading of bills for the second lime. The rules were sir-pended fi>r the purpose of taking up a bill to provide for the pay ment of the indebted less of lhe people of the State of Georgia.

Boston, September 18.—John Quincy Adams accepts the Democratic nomination for Governor. In his letter of acceptance, he says: '•I think that two matters of national in terest are involved in this election, one of which is important, and the other vital —die former of which 1 take td be tire tiunncial question, which was not treated by the New York Convention in a manner which satisfies my judgment. By providing for a payment of the bonds known as five-twenties by the surplus revenue alone, thus ignoring what seems to me a valuable part of Mr. Pendle ton’s plan, viz : a withdrawal of the issues of the National Banks, the Democratic party appeared to commit itself to an indefi nite extension ol the into'eiabln uuiouiiceof an irredeemable paper currency. I am too much a Democrat to regard any such pros pect with patience. I believe in hard money, and therein hold myself to be a true Jack sonian Democrat.” Adams criticised the Reconstruction measures of Congress as the vital question, saying “1 will not argue t|io unconstitution ality of Reconstruction ; the almost unani mous disinclination of the Republicans to allow it to undergo the scrutiny of the Su preme Court would seem to confirm the re ported statement of the lamented Stevens, ‘that only two d d fools in the party be- lieved ihe Reconstruction acts to bo consti tutional.’ Even if Constitutional I should deem them unwise. The union they im pose, is, to my eyes, no more like a true union of hands and hearts than a galvanized corpse resembles a hearty man,” Tho letter closes as follows : “I think that neither the interest nor destiny of this people will allow, 'permanent domination to the African race in any State * but the Re publican party is irrevocably pledged to this idea. They have staked their existence as a party on its triumph. To this idea they have sacrificed their constitutional ob ligaliußS, mid for it they must make fresh offerings. In the future the blacks must have lands, arms and a standing army to maintain them in their position—they are clamoring for them now —the United States must furnish them. The path upon which Congress Ims entered permits no halt—re treat is ruin. We must begin anew, takin" the Constitution for our guide, and natural laws for our limitation,” —« Washington Items- Washington, September 18.—The At torney General decides that officers mus tered out, but continued in position as Bureau functionaries, are entitled to pay and allowances pertaining to their previous rank.
