The Nomination for Mayor.
The Republicans and working men
last night unanimously nominated
Hon. Foster Blodgett for Mayor. A
more deserving, or more competent
and popular gentleman could not have
been selected to make the race. The
Democratic and anti-working man’s
party have been for more than a week
feasting on the hope that he would
not. yield to the solicitation of his
friends in becoming a candidate. But
they arc disappointed. He is in the
field, and will be elected. Being of
die people and for the people, the
people are for him.
lion. Foster Blodgett was born
in the city of Augusta, and has for
more than twenty years taken an ac
tive interest in its welfare. Hie work
ing men and citizens of progress have
always looked to him as a leader and
a defender and friend. They have
never been disappointed. ,
Mr. Blodgett has been prominently
connected with every public enterprise
that advances or benefits Augusta.
The Augusta Water Works, chiefly
constructed through his exertions, con
stitute an enduring monument to his
lame; to his efforts the city has a
supply that only 7 can be exhausted
when the Savannah river runs dry 7 .
The people have repeatedly acknowl
ged his invaluable services by elect
ng him to various offices of honor and
trust. He is the same Foster Blod
gett to-day that he was then. That
being the case, why cannot, and why
will not, his old friends, uninfluenced
by slander ahd unawed by 7 proscrip
tion, once again rally around him as in
the days of “ auld lang syne?” We
are gratified to know that many of
them are. Mr. B. has been more tra
duced ami abused than any other of
our citizens, ft is all politics and
prejudice. If he was not in the way
of oflice-seekers nothing would be said
against him. Will not an unselfish
people rebuke these defaraers? We
had intended to say something in ex
planation of Mr. Blodgett’s services
in the organization and management
of the Republican party, and his
manly defence of the rights of the
colored people. But it is needless.
Everybody is advised.
The ticket for Aidermen is worthy
"I the confidence of the people. Now
let the rallying cry be—Blodgett and
Eiji’al Taxation I
Southern Life Insurance Co.
We call attention to the advertise
ment of this Company in this morn
ing's edition. It is an institution in
which the people of Georgia are par
ticularly interested, and it is worthy
their patronage and confidence. Its
nil airs are controlled and directed by
gentlemen of ability, Integrity and un
blemished reputation. Its features and
mode of insurance are most liberal.
J. 11. Miller, the general
agent of the company, is well known
to be a most efficient and energetic
agent, and we feel sure the agency un
'ler his administration will become
prosperous and attain an enviable sue-

Dau Castello’s Circus.
The advent of Dan. Castello’s great
Circus Troupe and Abyssinian Cara
van, which is extensively advertised,
through the daily papers and by mag
nificent posters, to take place on Mon
day and Tuesday, December 7th and
Bth, suggests some thoughts. If suc
cess is the mark of genius, Dan. Cas
tello is certainly 7 a genius of a high
order, rising head and shoulders above
all competitors, in fact the Show Giant
of the age. This results from the
strictness with which every pledge to
the lovers of amusement is faithfully
kept. His coming is a signal for a
geheral rush. Rich and poor—old and
young —white and black —all greet
him with enthusiasm. His great show
eclipses all former exhibitions of the
kind, promises a rare treat to amuse
ment seekers, and with the assurance
that nothing will be said or done to
which the most refined eould object, we
are sure that the mammoth pavillion
will be daily and nightly crowded with
delighted thousands ou the occasion of
their exhibitions on Monday and Tues
day, December 7th and Bth.

To Postmasters.
Postmasters throughout the country
will save trouble by obeying the laws
in regard to newspapers, eto. When
a paper remains dead in the office for
four consecutive weeks, it is the duty
of the postmaster or his deputy to
send the publisher of the paper a
written notice of the fact—stating, if
possible, the reason why the paper is
not taken The returning to tlie pub
lisher of a paper marked “not taken,”
“refused,” or “uncalled for,” is not a
legal notice. Postmasters who fail to
comply with the law in this respect
are liable for the subscription for the
time said papers remain in their
office.
Not Just Now.
An elderly gentleman friend of ours
who is extremely fond of children,
having a large family' hinvelf, meeting
a number of little golden-haired, rosy
cheeked elves, in charge of a tidy, and
good looking nurse, stopped, and
having admired the children, kissed
them good-by. He was just about
starting off, when Madge, the cun
ningest little witch of the group, with
a puzzled expression, inquired, with
the utmost naivete : “Aint you going
to kiss the nurse?” The question
was so unexpected that our friend de
clares he felt the blood mount to his
temples while he stammered out,
“Not just now.”
Pulling a Tooth.
A young, almost unfledged, dentist,
who has lately displayed his shingle
in the immediate vicinity of Cincin

evening last week, and was introduced
to the fashionable Miss K——. The
proud beauty was surrounded by hope
less admirers, and was .nothing loth to

tractor proceeded to address her: “A—

Gov. R. B. Bullock.—Wc had the
pleasure yesterday of an interview
w ith Hon. R. B. Bullock, Governor of
Georgia, who passed through this city
on his way eastward. While he con
firms the sad accounts we have heard
from all sources as to the cruel intol
erance of the rebels of the State, he
represents that the Union men are
firm and undismayed, and are deter
mined still to present an unbroken
front to the enemy. With such a
spirit as that of their Governor infused
throughout their ranks, it is safe to
say that it will not be easy to conquer
them. The disadvantages at which
they now find themselves results from
the scurrilous and unprincipled dodge
by which the rebels obtained posses
sion of the State Legislature—a palpa
ble fraud, which it will be among the
first duties of Congress to rectify.—
Washington Chronicle, Nov.&W.'
’
The Oldest City.—Damascus is
the oldest city in the world. Tyre
and Sidon have crumbled on tho
shore; Baalbec is a ruin ; Palmyra lies
buried in the sands of the desert;
Nineveh and Babylon have disappear
ed from the shores of the Tigris and
Euphrates. Damascus remains what
it was in the days of Abraham—a
centre of trade and travel, an island
of verdure in a desert, “a predestined
capital,” with martial and sacred as
sociations extending beyond thirty
centuries. It was near Damascus that
Saul of Tarsus saw the light from
heaven, above the brightness of the
sun ; the street which is called Strait,
in which it is said he “prayeth,” still
runs through the city-; the caravan
conies and goes as it did one thousand
years ago; there is still the sheik, the
ass and the water wheel; the mer
chants of the Euphrates still occupy
these “with the multitude of their
wares.” The city which Mahomet
surveyed from a neighboring height,
and w-as afraid to enter, “because it is
given to man to have but one Paradise,
and for his part, he resolved not to
have it in this world,” is to this day
what Julien called the “Eye of the
East,” as it was in the time of Isaiah
“the head of Syria.” From Damas
cus came our damson, or blue plums,
and the delicious apricots of Portugal,
called Damascus ; damask, our beauti
ful fabric of cotton and silk, with
vines and flowers raised upon smooth,
bright ground; damask tosh, intro
duced into England in the time of
Henry VIII; the Damascus blade, so
famous the world over for its keen
edge and remarkable elasticity, the
secret of the manufacture of which
was lost when Tamerlane carried off
the artists into Persia; and that beau
tiful art of inlaying wood and steel
with silver and gold; a kind of Mosaic
engraving with sculpture united, called
damascening, with which boxes and
bureaus, and swords and guns are
ornamented. It is still a city of flow
ers and bright waters; the streams
from Lebanon, the “rivers of Damas-
■ cus,” “the river of gold,” still sparkle
in the wilderness of “Syrian gar
dens.”

[ From the Detroit Free Press, Nov, 21.
A Widow Married to Her Own Brother
Whom She Had Never Seen.
There passed through this city y cs
.* terday, en route to Chicago, a lady
i whose history is the most remarkable
ever brought to public notice. It has
’ been well said that truth is stranger
than fiction, and the details of this
1 lady’# liistory abundantly verify tiro
- adage. For reasons which all will
. see die propriety of, we witlihold her
name, merely relating tho facts as
they were communicated to our re
porter by one who had heard her
“ strange, true story,” from her own
, lips. In 1838 her parents emigrated
r to this country 7 from England, leaving
behind them an only son, some ten
years of age, who had engaged as
cabin-boy on a merchant vessel in the
I Jia st ludia trade—they lauded in New
i York, when, s few months later, the
t subject of this sketch was born. While
she was yet a helpless infant, both her
, parents died, and she was sent to the
Foundling's Ilome, where she remained
some time, when she was finally
adopted by a lady and gentleman who
then resided in Elmira, N. Y. Os
course she knew nothing of her sailor
brother, and she grew up in the belief
that she was really tho diild of her
foster parents. At the age of eighteen
1 she married an industrious young
: mechanic, and set out for the great
’ West. After tiavelling in various
, States, they finally settled in Missouri,
where they continued prosperous and
’ happy until the storm of war burst
> upon the country.
, Then her husband, in common with
, the thousands of his misguided coun
trymen, enlisted in the service of the
rebellion, and was assigned to General
Price’s army. He served faithfully
during the first eighteen months of the
war, but was finally killed in one of the
Southwestern engagements. From
the breaking out of the war, the lady
of whom we write had lost all trace
of her foster parents, owing to the dis
turbed condition of that portion of the
country in which she resided, and after
her husband’s death she removed to
St. Louis, where she sought to main
tain herself by sewing. In 1863, she
again married, and her husband em
barked in business in St. Louis. This
last marriage was a thoroughly happy
one, and in the course of time two
children were born unto them. Tho
husband gradually extended his busi
ness operation, so that much of his
time was necessarily spent in travelling
about the country, and during one of
his business tours he visited Chicago,
where he became acquainted with a
lady and gentleman, who, by a fortu
nate chain of circumstances, he ascer
tained were tho foster parents of his
wife. Delighted at the discovery- he
made, and pleased no doubt, with an
ticipations of the joyful surprise he
should give his wife, the husband at
once concluded his business with the
intention of returning to St. Louis,
and bringing her to Chicago for the
purpose oi reuniting her With her
friends, without having first prepared
either party- for such an event.
On the night of his contemplated
departure for home, while conversing
w-ith ME and Mrs. —it happened
that he waft led into a recital of his
adventures about the world, and be
fore the narrative was finished his lis
teners knew that their adopted
daughter had married her own brother,
who, before she w-as born, had sailed
for East India. Horrified beyond ex
pression, the wretched man fled from
the house, and from that hour no
tidings of him have ever reached his
friends.
This was in March last, and a few 7
weeks later the wretched sister-wife
w-as rendered comparatively poor by
the destruction of a large portion of
the property left in her hands, by fire.
Although written to by her stricken
friends, their letters never reached her,
and a few w-eeks since she started for
Elmira, her early- home. Upon her
anival here she learmxl the address of
her foster parents, with whom she at
once communicated, giving them full
details of her exyierience since she had
first bade them farewell, upon setting
out for her Western home. Their
answer to her letter contained a state
ment of the terrible discovery of the
identity of her husband and brother,
together with an affectionate invita
tion to come to them with her chil
dren and share their home.
Heart-broken, and nearly- crazed by
the strange denouement of her happy
marri<M life, the wretched woman has
tened to accept the offer, and this
morning will doubtless see her re
united to her earliest and dearest
frieuds.
—They have some curious speci
mens in Boston. A man lately-applied
for a marriage license, and on being
asked the name of the lady, said he
did’nt know; that two girls had agreed
to have him, but he hadn’t yet con
cluded whicli he would haVe. lie pro
posed to buy n license with, his name
inserted, and when he came to a con
clusion would fill up the blank with
the other n aine. He seemed some
what disappointed when informed that,
such a style of doing business was not
customary in Boston.
—The largest dog in the world, ac
cording to report, w-as one raised in
I’ennsylvania from the Siberian blood
hound stock. This dog, when but a
year old, had attained the length of
seven feet nine inches, was thirty-six
and a half inches high, and weighed
two hundred pounds. A challenge of
a thousand guineas was offered in
i 1862, when his owner exhibited him
in London, for the production of a
■ larger spccinieu, but the article was
’ not forthcoming.
—The Prince and Princess of W alee,
according to die Army and Navy
Gazette, intend to make an extensive
tonr during the coming winter. They
will visit Paris and Copenhagen, and
I then Germany, Italy, Greece, Syria,
■ and Egypt, where, accompanied by
the celebrated African traveller, Sir
> Samuel Baker, they will ascend the

Gibraltar and Portugal.
