A NEW FEATURE.
Ifeeklg National Republican.
The first number of this new candi
date for public favor was issued frou
this office on Saturday, October 31st
1868.
Tlie Weekly contains all the latesi
News by mail and telegraph ; full Mar
ket Reports ; the Editorials and Cor
respondence of the Daily Repu bluan
Miscellany, 'Poetry, etc., etc.
It is furnished to subscribers at the
verv low price of Two Dollars a year
or to clubs of ten, or more, One Dollai
and fifty cents each—always in ad
rance.
Our friends are earnestly requested
to aid in securing for our Weekly" a
large circulation. We pledge our best
exertions to make it worthy of the
patronage of all good Republicans
everywhere.
All letters should be addressed to
E. 11. Pu’GHE,
Augusta, Ga.
4'itj- RegiM ration.
Twenty-seven whites and two col
ored registered yesterday—making
the total up to date, viz: Whites,
1,316; colored, 1,59!).
Lumber in Railroad Cars.
We see it stated that live thousand
feet of lumber arc required to make a
freight car, and ten thousand feet for
a passenger car.
The City,
For the last week or two, has looked
lively, busy, and city like. The
weather has been fine, and the country
products have been coming in rapidly
and the people have been purchasing
from our merchants largely, almost as
in the good old times. What a beau
tiful. country—what a genial climate—
what ,a fair chance we have for a rich
and prosperous city if we would only
be friends; if we would only respect
one another’s honest opinions and treat
one another right.
• •
Military Movement.
Major St. Onge, with his Company
of the Sixteenth Infantry, leave this
morning lor Atlanta. We think the
thanks of the city are due to the
Major, that no greater disturbance oc
curred-during the election, and we very
much regret his departure before our
municipal election has taken place.
But we do not believe that Governor
Bullock, or the military, authorities,
will fail to have a force here for the
preservation of the peace at that time,
should it be deemed necessary by our
well-meaning citizens.

A Beautiful Store.
We dropped in a moment, yester
day, at the new stand of F. A. Brahe
<fe Co., on the corner of Mclntosh and
Broad, and were very much surprised
to find what a beautiful place it is.
The whole place has undergone an
entire change; a new iron front has
been put in, very neat in design ; the
windows and doors arc heavy plate
glass, single lights, without crack or
flaw in them, extending from floor to
ceiling, and the sash, if it may so be
termed, is plated with silver. Inside
is a most magnificent display of beau
tiful show-cases, counters, mirrors, gas
fixtures, and the extensive stock of
jewelry kept by’ Messrs. Brahe & Co.
The outside work has been done by
W. 11. Goodrich, our well known
contractor and builder. The plate
glass windows cost S6O or $75 per
light; (don’t break them, boys, unless
you don’t know what to do with your
money.) The elegant counters, and
most of the frame and filligre work
inside are the labor of that gentleman
of taste and handicraft, J. J. Brown e,
dealer and worker in pictures, mirrors,
frames and other such nice things.
Messrs. Brahe & Co. have not quite
done fitting up their store, but, in a
few days, they will be able to show
one of the prettiest, yes, we will say
one of the most magnificent, establish
ments in the South.
The PrcMidcnt’M Salary.
The Savannah Republican., of yes
terday, thus lilierally and handsomely
endorses a proposition of the New
York Tintet to increase the s>lpry of
the President of the United States:
We fully agree with the Timet. The salary
of the President, never large enough, is the
; atne to-day ns it was when he could five
respectably "and lietter at one-fourth the cost.
By all means, fix it at SIOO,OOO. and the
sooner the better. We have no objection to
starting the change with Gen. Grant.
Beautiful Fancy Good*.
In great, variety, at 100 Broad street.
John Robinson’w Circus and Me
nagerie.
This best of Circuses and Zoological
eiltablishnients gave the last of their
series of excelsior e.xibitions to another
full house on last night, and the satis
faction evinced by the recherche audi
ence in attendance was of tho liveliest,
keenest character. The leaping of the
great voltiguer, George M. Kelly ; the
bare-back riding of la petite Cordelia ;
the performance of Mons. Francoi
with his stud of dancing horses; the
double summersault and four-horse act
of John Wilson; the corde tendue of
M’llc Francis; the ball and trance of
George Sloinan; the local and pun-,
gent fnnnyisms of Pete Conklin,’
Frank Robinson, and Archie Camp
bell ; the superior hurdle act of the
negro boy Lends; the performance of
John Robinson’s “Lucy Bertram”;
the vaulting and tumbling of Messrs.
Barker, Rivers, Jacobs, Ashton, and
the arenic corps from the bateoute
board; the posturing and contortion
act oi W. 11. Ashton, Willie and
Frank, and the summersault riding of
Master Frank was the best in point of
artistic greed and excellence ever seen
here. The Menagerie is full, complete,
and all the picture bills promised.
Need more be said? I ice la John
Robinson, say we and the Augusta
public.
A novel feature, and something not
down in the bills, was enacted on the
outside, of the canvas, after the per
formance was over. A young gentle
man of this city successfully rode the
mammoth elephaht from the tent to
the Railroad, without doing either the
elephant or himself any damage.
■■■ " * - ■
Thanksgiving.
The Governors of Georgia, Ala
bama, South Carolina, Michigan, Mas
sachusetts, Maine, Vermont, Pennsyl
vania, and perhaps other States, have
designated Thursday, the 26th inst.,
as a day of Thanksgiving—this being
the day set apart for the same purpose
by the President of the United States.
We trust that the day will be generally
observed by our people, and that all
will then unite in imploring the pro
tection of the Almighty for our
country and our State.
IhcHtli of a Good Man.
We regret* to learn that the Rev.
Jeremiah F. O’Neal, Jr., (better
known as Father O’Neal,) departed
this life at St. Agnes Hospital, near
the city of Baltimore, on Friday of
last week. The Macon Journal and
Messenger says:
Farther O'Neal was a nephew of the ven
erable Father of the same name so well
known and so highly respected by all de
nominations in Georgia and South Carolina.
He was about forty-two years of age, and
was born, we think, in Ireland, but his par
ents came to this country and settled in Talia
ferro county when he was very young, and
his widowed mother, a venerable lady, now
resides in that county. Nather O’Neal has
been in bad health for some years, and had
been travelling Forth for its benefit. It is
understood that his body will be brought to
this city for interment.
The Stnte Railroad.
The North-Gear gift (Ntlien, refer
ring to the fact that Superintendent
Halbert paid into the State Treasury
$25,000 as the net earnings of this
Road for the month of October, re
marks:
This is quite a neat income to our impo
verished State, at present, and notwithstand
ing it is made a great “political machine” in
our elections, the benefits are much greater
than tlie evils connected therewith.
In connection, we arc pleased to announce
a very beneficial system on this road, to those
having occasion to travel. Commutation
tickets of two hundred miles and upwards
may be procured at three cents per mile, at
all agencies, thus making a deduction of live
dollars in a round trip to Atlanta and return,
from this point. The same tickets may be
used to all points on the road, and are only
cancelled for the distance used.
We think the system of commuta
tion tickets might be adopted on the
other Roads of the State with equal
benefit to the public and advantage to
the several Companies. The public
have a right to expect this, or a mate
rial reduction of the rates of travel.
The Cartersville JJ;cprtss hasa short,
article in reference to the payment
above-mentioned, in which it says:
We wish Superintcndont Halbert great suc
cess in the management of it, as the eyes of
the people of the State arc upon him. We
take pleasure in giving him credit for man
aging it well—in fact, more than in ‘‘cussing”
him for ‘ mismanagement.”
Hallow !
We have’ before us a copy of tho
North-Georgia Citizen, published at
Dalton, by Messrs. .1. T. Whitman
and 11. A. Wrench. It is exceed
ingly neat in appearance, and, though
espousing the Deinocratic-non-inter
coursc-with-thc-North policy, is quite
readable. We know Mr. Whitman
of old as a first class printer.
ll■ - ' * ■
< a oo<l Advice.
The Now York Tribone extends a very
cheerful salutation to a number of young
Treasury clerks, who have resigned, in antici
pation of the reduction of the force in the
Department. It guys: “Young gentlemen,
we congratulate you! You are free! You
no longer groan under the burdens of office!
The free West awaits you! Its boundless
prairies yearn for your nmung, with the
shovel and the hoe! lletter raise a dozen ears
of good corn than twist a thousand yards ot
nil tape! Happy boys,gQ and enjoy your
freedom, and know the f< Huty of that work
which brings the sweat to ywr brows ;md
makes sweet your daily bread.”
The alx>vc is such good advice, that
we offer it to some young men in this
city, whom we see every day holding
up some street corner, with their hands
in their pockets, apparently with no
thing to do, find without anrtlring to
do it with.

A bright little boy was asked by a

“Oh,” said she, “you must study

“Yes, ma’am,” he replied, “but I

The American Tract Society.-
The American Tract Society of Boston '
is permanency separated, in action
and feeling, from the .\merican Tract i
Society at New York. In the recent
adjourned annual meeting, held at 164
Tremont street, Dr. Patton, editor of
the Jffcance, Chicago, was one of the I
speakers. “The plain truth is,” said
he, “the churches and ministers of the
West have lost all confidence in the
New York society; not bn the ground
of slavery alone, but with regard to •
its whole ch.uacteristic policy, as man
ifested in the manufacture and side of
books, the treatment of colportage, '
the equivocations, and tergiversations,
and denial of debate, etc. Nothing !
has occurred to restore confidence, and •
nothing now can.” Resolutions, de- ,
ciaring the former agreement between
the two societies dissolved, were g
passed, with but two dissenting votes.

—A man in New Haven, Conn., who
was married some mouths, wore :i new
white satin vest on the occasion, and
put a ten dollar bill in one of the pock
ets, with which to pay the officiating
clergyman. At the close of the cere
mony he banded over the money, as he
supposed. A few days ago, however,
he put on the vest again to wear to a
party, and thrusting his fingers into the
pocket, drew out the identical bank
note. “ What could he have given the
parson on that occasion ?” He ascer
tained, the next day, that he bad given
him a strip of satin two or three inches
long, which the tailor had left in the
pocket of the vest. Explanations and
a hearty laugh followed.
—Under the name of “Jumpers,” a
new sect has been formed in West
Prussia. At their “Marriage with the
Heavenly Bridegroom,” as they call
it, they fall into ecstacies, expressed
by wild jumpings. Tlie whole congre
gation rises at a certain moment, iu
order to imitate David’s dancing be
fore the Ark. This new sect is chiefly
recruited from a village near Ssatzig,
where some years ago a virgin com
menced prophesying with great suc
cess, until the government sent her to
the Workhouse.
—The researches of Helmholtz, the
distinguished German physioligist,
show that the nervous fluid or wave,
whatever it may be, travels at the rate
of 97.1 feet per second. If, then, a
man six feet high, were to step on a
nail,, it would lake a little less than an
eighth of a second for the information
to be carried by the sensor nerves to
the brain, and for the order that the
foot be lifted to be returned by the
motor nerve to the suffering member.
