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.
