Akerman closed his address last night prevents an extended noti.'e of it. W e can IW> not, however, refrain fnm saying that it (du’was a capital speech ; somd in logic, pow erful in facts and argumtnt, chaste in lan guage, and eloquent indelivery We re gret that there were not t larger number of our Democratic friends out to hear it, as we are quite sure all would have agreed with us that the Coknel is a profound thinker, an honest mar, and a fearless de fender of the right. His reference to the valiant Gen. Toombs, though couched in temperate terms, was nost withering, and his defence of the colaed man’s right to the franchise eminently just and conclusive. If time permitted Col. Akerman should be induced to reped his address in every county in the State lefore the election. It could not fail to conduce honest men of the folly, if not criminally, of longer following the lead of such tnei as now mis-lead the Democracy. A Hint. Blobbs, one night, sitting at the back of the boxes with a gentleman of his acquaint ance, an underbred lounger stood up imme diately before him and shut out the sight of the stage entirely from him. Blohms patted him gently on the shoulder with his cane, and with much seeming civility, requested that when he saw or heard anything that was eutertainiug on the stage ho would, let him and the gentleman with him know of it, as at present they must totally depend on his kindness. This had Hie desired effect, and the lounger walked off. Dr. Hard to Speak in Augusta.

Cure, effectual. Pains in the Head, Sore Throat, Hoarseness, a sudden attack of Diptheria or Influenza, apply the Relief to the throat and chest- Persons suffering from Rheumatism, Tic Douloureux, etc., should not hesitate to apply Radway’s Ready Relief, both externally and internally. Nothing better in the known world. Create a sense of heat and irrita tion, or burning, you may feel perfectly sat isfied of a cure. For Sprains, Cuts, Wounds, Bruises, nothing like the Relief. Rub the pint or parts where the disease or pain is seated is all that is sufficient. Aside from all this, the Relief will be found to be a splendid tonic when used with wafer. If yon have Lameness, Swelling of the Knees, Feet, Joints, etc., use nothing else. In case of Asiatic Cholera, the Relief loads all other preventives. So in attacks of Cholera Mor bus, Bilious Cholic, Fevers, Sick or Nervous Headache, Foul Breath, Purging, Dysen tery, painful DiarrhtßA, Vomiting, Convul sions, Bad Dreams, and Genera] Debility, Radway's Ready Relief is a sure cure.

Mrs. Pughs:, 190 Broad street, lias just received an assortment of Hats and Bonnets, including the “ Grecian Bend.” “Tit for Tat.” —The pious editor of the Augusta Republican and the Reverend Di vine of the Neto Era are engaged in a sort of theological discussion, in which we feel no interest beyond a wicked disposition ter enjoy a little fun. It is an outside quarrel, on the issue of which we have not so much as the wager of a pea-nut. Wo are deter mined not to say a word, unless it be an occasional cheer for the “dog on top.” Tbe Republican maliciously impugns the ortho doxy of our neighbor. It is equally light in Its actuivoto of its peJiitC*! ht. Hm..- it t “ Heaven help the Republican party or Georgia if the Era, is the “hope” of the party in the State! Now tell us of one prominent Republican that relies upon the Era as the “hope” of the party. You can’t name one, by authority. It the Era was to come out for Seymour to-morrow, it would not lose Grant a hundred votes.” Now, we believe the Republican is at least in ninety-nine of the truth. Seriously, we do not think the Era’s deflection would exceed the loss of one vote to the Radical party —its own. But pray, Mr. Republican’, don’t afflict us with it; we don’t want the Era on our side. It would play the i yil with our party, as it has doue with year's. [Constitution- Value ok Personal Neatness.—Many worthy women who would not for the world be found wanting in the manner of personal neatness, seem somehow to have the notion that any study of the arts of personal beauty in family life is unmatronly. They buy tboir clothes with simple reference to ccoqpmy, and have them made up without any ques tion of becomingness; and hence marriage sometimes transforms a charming, trim, trip ping young lady into a waddling matron, whose every-day toilet suggests only the idea of a feather-bed tied round with a string. For my part, I do not believe that the sum mary banishment of the graces from the domestic circle as soon as the baby makes its appearance, is at all conducive to domes tic affection. Nor do 1 think that there is any need of so doing. These good house wives are in danger, like other saints, of falling into the error of neglecting the body through too much thoughtfulness for others, and too little for themselves. If a woman ever lias any attractiveness, let her try and keep it, setting it down as one of her domes tic tijents. *«*- —- — What Our Baby Did.-The other day Nettie was eighteen months old, and she celebrated the event in the following style, with a regularity and promptness which almost defies competition : Ist, upset a quart of milk upon her bran new flannel gown ; 2d, put the hair-brush in the slop-pail ; 3d, took a spoon from the table and plastered the carpet and floor with soft lard, and then wiped it off with a clean dress just put upon her; 4th, she did not ‘‘string spools on the cat's tail,” but took another form of ex pressing her devotion to that pet by trying to cram it into her father’s boot; stb, found her way into the pantry and upset the kero sene into a pail of meal that had just Jieen sifted for use ; and, to clap the climax, Ijreascd her little red shoes with the mixture; Ctb. ate some bread and milkaud went oft to sleep. These things were done in spite of careful watching, and (as we have since learned by experience) is but a fair sample of everyday life. Babies are mischievous. What can a mother do with three or four little fellows at a time and keep the house in order? We’ve resolved never to find fault, if supper isn’t readv just at the right time. Monroe (Wis.) Sentinel. The Sick Room.—The sick room should be large, lofty, and, if possible, with a northern aspect, in order to avoid the heat of the mid-day or the afternoon sun ; the windows should be capable of being opened by drawing down the uppermost sash an advantage, however, that can not always be obtained, as this mode of opening windows is too generally neglected in the construction of modern houses. No room, however large, should be used as a sick room unless it has a chimney; but neither the chimney-board nor the soot-board of the apartment should be put up, even in summer. No article of unnecessary furnilure should be permitted to remain in the room ; and that which is left in it should be of a description fitted to administer to the i nnrt-nionce of the invalid Josh Billings on Courting.—Courting is about half natur and about half science. The natur in it is simply energy. You must begin slow, but by and by if will bo best to agitate things. Wimmiu, as a lump, had ruther be took by storm than siege. Wim min never surrenders, nor are they ever ex actly won, but rather captured. They “tight it out on this line.” I am talking now of sensible witumin. There is wimmin who are as easy to couit as lint, “{.uv at first sight” is like eating honey. Il duz seem cz tho you could never git enuff uv it. This kind uv luv is apt to make blunders, and it is bard to back out uv as well. But there aint no such thing ns pure math ematics in courting. If it is all natur, it is too innocent for earth, and it it is all science, it is too much of a job. Perhaps the best way to court is to begin without much uv any plan where you are going to fetch up, and see how you and she likes it, and then let the thing kind uv worry along kareless, like throwing stones into a mill pond. You will find one thing strictly troo, the more advice you undertake to follow, the less amount of good courting you will do. A correspondent of. the Aurora Gazette gives the following account of a mirage lately witnessed on Cayuga Lake : “As I drove out of Auburn I saw very distinctly— not Cayuga Lake exactly, for that was some eight miles away, out of sight over the hills but a ven- complete and exact counterpart of the lake, lying apparently some three or four mites away, and with au unobstructed view. Some four miles of the eastern shore, with its deep bay at Mr. Yawger's, and one or two miles more of the western shore, ex tending opposite our village, was visible, showing the trees along the shores, and all its indentations and curves. The spectacle lasted about h alf an hour, and was a sight worth seeing.” jjkqy Hou.

Horseback racing has been introduced into several New York institutions for the education of young ladies. —The Empress of Russia is having the Villa d’Este, on Lake Como, fitted up in gorgeous style for her own use. —ln England 270 acres are devoted to lavender farming, from which 17,000 gal lons of lavender are made. • —The Parliamentary canvass throughout Great Britain is becoming very lively. Several Tory members of the last House of Commons have withdrawn their names as candidates, and retired discouraged. The Liberals are confident of a large majority. A Cooperative foundry, established iu Rochester, N. ¥., last year, has proved very successful. Only SIB,OOO was paid in, and the profits for the first, six month amounted to $8,392.

Jar Andy Writes to Horatio. Execvtivk Mawhion, ) Wa hinoton, October 22, 1868., j Hon Horatio Seymour: I sen it announced in the papers this morning that you will enter tho Presidential canvass in person. 1 trust this may be so, as the present position of public affairs justi fies and demands it. It is hoped mid be lieved by your friends that all cnoinieA of Constitntional Government, whether secret or avowed, will not be sparer], and that their arbitrament and unjust usurpations, together with their wasteful, profligate, and corrupt use of the people’s treasure, will be sionally exposed and rebuked. The masses of the people should be aroused lunl warned against the encroachments of despotic power now ready to enter the citudel of liberty. I trust that you may speak with an inspired tongue, and that your voice mny penetrate every just and patriotic breast throughout the land. Let the living princi ples of the violated Constitution bo pro claimed and restored, that peace,’ prosperity and fraternal feeling may return to our divided and oppressed nation. Andrew Johnson. A Congressman Murdered. St. Louis, October 24.—A report reached here that the Hon. James Hinds, member of Congress, and Hon. James R. Brooks accompanying him, were assailed in Monroe county, Arkansas. Hinds was kilted and Brooks wounded. The Democrat has a dis patch attributing the outrage to Democrats. The Republican has a dispatch representing that Hinds had split the Republican party, and attributes his death to Republicans, if, indeed, report be true. It says that further efforts to fix his assassination on the Demo crats will be fruitless, her--use they hud more to gain by Hind’s living than death. The St. Louis Times says there arc ten thousand stand of small arms now in St. Louis, purchased by the Governor of Arkan sas and other Southern Governors, but says it is impossible to ship them by any regular line or charter a steamer to take them.

J flencral'Ootcre, No. 27. “Whorous, by au act of Congress of the United States, approved March 2, 1865, it is made tho duty of the military authority to preserve tho pence at the polls at any election which may bo held in any us tho States ; and, whereas, this duty h's bcoouic the more imperative, from tho existing political excitement in tho public mind, 1 from the recent organization of civil govern ment, and from tho fact that Congress lias, by statute, prohibited tho organization of military forces in the several States of this Department, it is therefore ordered, “Ihat the several District commanders will, as soon as practicable, on the receipt of this order, distribute the troops under their commands as lellows: .» * • » « (n the District of Georgia : Ono company 16th Infantry, to Albany.

Conmianding officers are permuted to hire quarters, temporarily, when it can be <L>ne for reasonable rates ; but this will not preclude, the necessity of carrying tents, as the commands, in all eases, must be in readiness to move at the shortest notice, with all supplies required for their efficiency. “District Commanders wt-1 instruct Pest Com manders in their duties, ant the relative position of the civil and military powers. They will impress on Post Commanders that they are to act in aid and co-operation, mid in subordination to the civil authorities ; that they are to exercise discretion and judgment, unbred by political or other prejudices ; that their object shdUld bo exclusively to preserve the peace and uphold law and order, and they must be satisfied such is the object o7 the civil officer calling on them for aid , that they must in all cases, where tune will permit, applv for instruction to superior au thority, but they must at all hazards preserve the peace, and not be restrained by technical points, when, in their conscientious judgment, under the rules above set forth, it is their duty to act. Post Commanders on being notified or the proposed holding of political meetings, may send an officer, and it necessary a detach ment, to watch the proceedings and see that the peace is preserved. “To the people of the several fctatos compos ing the Department, the Major General Com manding sppeate that they will co-operato with him and the civil authorities in sustaining law and order, in preserving the peace, and in avoid ing those scenes of riot and bloodshed, and the wanton destruction ol property and life which has already, in sumo instances, been enacted m this Department, fle urge, abstinence from all inflammatory and incendiary appeals to the pMsiobs: discountenaueirfg the keeping open of liquor shops on days of political meetings and of election; the abstaining from carrying arms, and assorting the individual right of construing laws by force of arms. No just cause is ever ad vanced b" resort to violence. Let there be cbaiily and forbearance among political oppo nents, whatever may be the result. Lot each good citizen determine that all who, under the aw have the right to the ballot shall exercise it undisturbed. If there arc disputed points of law let them be referred to the Courts, and let nos mobs or political clubs, or other irresponsi ble bodies, construe and undertake to execute the law. This appeal is made in the earnest hope that the Major General Command ing can rely on tha good sense and correct judgment ot the mass of the people, and that he will not bo compelled to Ycsort to the bxeroiso of the power with which be is entrusted, and which ho will most reluctantly employ. But he thinks it his duty to make known- “ . t far “ power uader his command will admit, he wiU not permit the pence to bo broken, and that ho will not be restrained in the conscientious dis charge of his duty by technicalities of law, made wh<n the pret»ont auomaloiw condition of aftoirs were neither anticipated or provided for.’ By order of Major : A .
