POWELL. fourth 11 JACOB R. DAVIS, JOHN REYNOLDS, JOHN D. BAKER. 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- COSS, —• Hocking Mon of Angnsta, I ou have a ticket that will look out tor your interest.

There were registered, yesterday, forty white and twenty-one colored voters, making a total, up to date, of ’>664, as follows : whites 1,843 ; color ed 1,821. Beautiful Fancy Goods, In great variety, at 190 Uroad street West-End. I The Legislature, at its last session. " grmed &•" charter to the town of West-End, immediately jouiing the . city of Atlanta on the west. We learn from the ZyteUigtHcer that Col. A. B. Cl lbeb|>ox has been chosen Intendant 3 of the new 7 town, and Mjyor S. B. Wight, W. T. Demar, and J. T. Mims Oonncihncn. The Council have 5 passed a code of laws, are building a callaboose and convict house, and are going to have a street railroad, over $5,000 having been already subscribed for the latter project Arrival of Troops. Two companies of the 16th United States Infantry, under command of Major T. W. Sweeny, arrived in this city, yesterday morning, by the Geor gia train from Atlanta. They are quartered in the old Eagle and Phcrnix Hotel building, on Broad street, oppo ■ site Monument street. 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. ■ II- II ire re- . -re 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 nati, attended a social gathering, one 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 add another to her victims, but what was her surprise when the tooth-ex tractor proceeded to address her: “A— a —ah, Miss K—ah, ah—lI—I—am not —ah—-entirely unacquainted with you. I—l—ah —had the pleasure of pulling a tooth for your father only a short time ago !" Pliancy the phe links of the belle, whose acquaintance was “scraped” thusiy. Mee What Advertising Did. R. E. Dalzel, whose harness was ; stole from the barn in Garden street, ’ one night last Spring, advertised that 1 he had one set left, and asked the ’ thief to “call again.” On Thursday night lust, the rascal, or one of his species, did call, and took the other t ®ct. _ f The ‘"Masouic Orphan’s Home” t Lottery. .

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.” Inn-Keeper Arrested for Mur der. —P’he Bunker Hill (111.) Gazette says that in a farm attached to a place where a tavern had been kept many years, in the neighborhood of that town, tlie remains of three human beings have been found buried beneath the barn floor, and that the skeletons of five other persons, supposed to have been murdered, have been discovered 1 near the premises. The inn-keeper is ■ suspected of having been engaged in robbery and murder for years past. He has lieen arrested and imprisoned, ’ .waiting trial. ■— • <—■ I —. Farms in Florida. —Commissioner i Wilson, of the General Land Office, is in receipt of returns from the local office at Tallahassee, Florida, showing that during the past month sixty farms, embracing 6,535 acres, were added to the productive area of that State under ; the operation of the homestead act of s June 24, 1866. I ~ e —A hurricane in Tennessee carried t a brick church half a mile and tum bled it into a creek. a —A lady preacher in Chicago has v announced that she does not believe in the doctrine <»f man’s depravity. [ 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 i Nile, and return home byway of Gibraltar and Portugal. 7~ --2 Jr -■ ■ IT ’■ News from Washington. ■ „ WAsniXGTOR, D.> c , Ffcivembcr 28. e Hou.
