( E. H. PtTGHE. t —— - < A “Star” Cost. ] A policeman was yesterday picked up in such a Biahs-Iu! state of oblivi .ousness that he didn’t seem to under stand anything at all about his mag nitude. He has been removed from the city constellation, and will here after ornament a different orbit. This is a pity, as he is represented to have boon a very bright “ star.” Flue C rops. A Mississippi paper says that the crops that have not failed this year in that State, are Pumpkins and Boy Babies. The latter has succeeded well in this locality' also—three gen tlemen connected with this establish ment having been presented with one each within the last lew weeks. DeciNioiiN of the Supreme t'ourt. We publish elsewhere, from the At lanta Constitution of yesterday, an official report of. the recent decisions of this Court. We arc glid to lay these decisions hefore our readers, as much anxiety has been felt and ex pressed in regard to them. The ••People’s Organ.” The National Republican very properly lays claim to the above title, and is determined to keep the people posted in everything that occurs in ami around the city; as an evidence of which we publish in this morning’s issue the list of letters remaining in the Post Office, and will publish it every week. Recorder’s Court. The following cases were called and disposed of by this Court yesterday morning: William Hill (white), for peddling without license. Plead guilty. Fined $5 and costs.

Do Wot Boil Your Coffee. The old fogy plan of boiling coffee can now be dispensed with. Messrs. Kavanagh & Harp, tinsmiths, opposite the Post Office, have sent us the inimitable Eureka Condensing Coffee and Tea Pot, the operations of which for the manufacture of coffee and tea arc based upon an entirely differ ent process to that employed by our grandmothers. A trial of this pot has fully convinced us of its utility and economy—saving at least thirty per ' cent, of coffee used under the old regime. We advise everybody, who drinks coffee, to get one of these pots from Messrs. Kavanagh & Harp. „ Now Advertisements. Situation Wanted. — By an old and experienccd book- keeper.

Ah Ordinance —To provide for the control and management .of persons condemned to labor on the public works of Augusta. Something to be Proud of. The Charleston Hews reports that Senator Sprague, of Rhode Island, at a dinner party given to him the other day at the Charleston Hotel, by a few leading citizens, said that “it would surprise the people of the South, and still more surprise the people of the North, to know —what is a fact— that the best cotton factory of its size and kind in America is to be found in the. city of Augusta, Georgia; am - . that in looking at the subject from a manufacturer’s point of view, taking the productions per hand -and per spindle, and comparing them with the work in other mills running on the same class of goods, he found that these Southern goods were equal to any of their kind in t lie Northern mar kets.” Our Book Table.

The first number gives earnest of n just conception of all that pertains to its title, and is filled with matter peculiarly adopted to the circle of home—not too much of the sentimen tal, but plain practical suggestions, profnotivc of the highest degree of artistic taste in farm and garden, coupled with much that is calculated to render the fireside cheerful. It is a publication of sixteen folio pages, at 84 per annum. ■■ f » A Prisoner Escapes. Yesterday afternoon Justice Phinizy deputized Special Bailiff Rhodes to bring before him Joe Patterson (color ed), who had been committed to jail, to await trial, on a charge of forcibly cutting a pistol from the person of Patrick Gibbons on the 2d instant. The prisoner gave officer Rhodes the slip, and made good his escape, not withstanding Mr. Rhodes fired three shots at him. The prosecutor made his appearance promptly at the appointed hour, half past three o’clock. He was muchly “in for it,” and threw himself around the sacred temple of justice in such a de cidedly loose manner, that he was taken in tow by a “star,” and now finds himself completely' metamorphos ed—thrown from the position ofoprosc cutor to that of a defendant. This defendant claims no affinity with Father Mathew’s disciples. Buniuenn Activity. Our streets arc daily alive with produce wagons from the adjoining counties of Georgia and South Caro lina, and the best of feeling seems to pervade our entire business community. Our merchants, in every class of trade, seem to have on regular Christinas faces, in consequence of the very large influx of buyers which daily visit our city. The liberality and general busi ness courtesy of our merchants are well calculated to promote the pros perity of Augusta, in drawing hence liberal and fair-minded trades from the surrounding country. Long may it continue. Did You Know That Last night some robbers broke into a colored man’s house, found his trunk, broke into that, and' stole a hundred dollars—and miglst have taken more.* He was a little more than have two dollars, with eight dollars interest, safe in the National Freedman’s Sav ings and Trust Company. When it is so-unsafe in boxes and trunks, it is strange.that all the colored people do not place their money in this responsi ble institution. Money deposited there is paid only to them, and they may be sure they can get it. Even though the bank is robbed or burned, no l«u shall happen. Their funds are safe. t Internal Revenue on Tobacco. We published, yesterday, the law in relation to the above article, which stated that the law would go into effect on the first of January We have since learned' that the time has been extended to the 14th of Feb ruary, 1869. Hymeneal. We find the following announce ment, copied from the New York Express, in the Savannah Republican of yesterday. Wc heartily wish the General and his bride dong life and much felicity: Married.— Hugh W. Mercer, Esq., Banker, late Brigadier General in the Con federate States Army, and Mrs. Bessie Cuyler net Steinberger, tsotli of Savannah, Georgia, were married to-day in Trinity Church. The Rev. Telfair Hodgson, oi Keyport, N. J., formerly a Major in the Confederate Army, performed the ceremony. Au Augustan Married. The marriage of Miss Cara Nctta Le Vert, daughter of the well known authoress, Madame Le Vert, to Mr. Rigail Reab, of Augusta, Ga., took place at Trinity Chapel, New York, on Wednesday evening. The bride appeared in a trousseau made and presented to her by an old negro nurse, who was formerly a servant of her mother. When this old negress heard of the approaching marriage, she bought with her own earnings the finest muslin she could find in the South, and with her own hands made up the bridal dress. She also pro cured the veil, and twined the wreaths of orange flowers. Each one of the old servants contributed some article of clothing, or a present, and then with many good wishes they packed theta in a trunk and sent them to New- York. The bride elect at once set aside her more costly trousseau and ac cepted the gift which had been ten dered to her. There was a large and fashionable company present, both at the ceremony' and at the reception in the Coleman House- The bri«lc and bridegroom started for the South im mediately after the reception. Imposter*. We are rejoiced at the commend a 14b hburaiity our Uty illuviating Imj disfroMßd poor tlju that their charity is misapplied in many instances We do to lay the charge of wilful misappli cation of provision, fu*l, eUh, upon the shoulders of our Honorable Mayor and Council. We Amply moan to condemn the plan under which they dispense their charity. So far as we arc informed, us a genera! thing, all that has heretofore been necessary to secure their donations has been a personal application of parties for relief. If those parties are outside of the personal knowledge of His Honor the Mayor, he has no means of ascer taining who or what they are. In the goodness of his heart, he credits their tale of distress, and they take rank as, regular recipients of the generous bounty of the city. This easy pro cedure necessarily opens the door to a large number of imposters, for whose care and support the city, is in no wise bound. They feed and fatten on -a charity in which they should have no part. We submit.that it is jio. part of charity to give the children’s bread to the dogs, and that under the plan re ferred to, a strong parallel to this case is daily occurring. Growing out of the present arrange ment for the distribution of the alms of the city, there is another evil, of little less that already instanced. There are many persons, doubtless; whose tonds“ susceptibili ties and high forbid their entering into the scramble— for it is little else—which occurs with many of those who are foremost in claiming the bounty of the city. Some provision should be made for the re lief of persons who arc thus retarded from mingling in the crowds which daily besiege the Mayor’s office. Let the application of this charity be full and complete, but let it be made to worthy objects' Th Ire are, God knows, quite enough of this class in the community, without permitting the number to be augmented by the addition of a large class who do not need or deserve the assistance of the city. Let a reformation take place at puce in this matter. If need be, let an officer be appointed to canvass the city and take down the names of all the actual sufferers, with a view to a distribution of the city’s alms among those who are really needy and de- serving. job AN D BOOK-BINDING.

[From the Circular of Win Bryce & Co. Weekly Cotton Review. New York, December 18. Our market for the week under review on spot cotton has been steady, and fairly ac tive, considering how small a stock is in port. The late improvement in goods has led to an active spinning demand, and specu lators liave lieen forced into buying, to cover short sales, where delivery was demanded. Very large orders could be executed for Southern account, in the Atlantic States, at one cent less than going rates, while from Southwest, where the crop is good, prefers are here to sell. For fine cottons the market is strong, and good prices are paid Mid dling is scarcer than ever, and might with propriety be omitted from quotations. Low Micidlings have met the readiest safe, being most abundant; Good Ordinaries and Ordi nary arc very scarce, and prices have been very irregular. Gold has been quite steady, but seem to tend downwards. Money has been in good request, and it may be tliat efforts wfll be in>de to get up a/‘squeeze" as, the day for quarterly statement approaches. Contracts sot forward delivery have been largely dealt in during the week, and this system of betting seems steadily on the increase.

It spread over the country, even in St. Louis. Many of our most enterprising and seemingly prosperous merchants had to suCcomb to the pressure of the time. Among them was araerchat whom we shall call Smith. His real name and some of the circumstances we are about wilj doubtloss bp .recollected by many w < veiytoqjay/lle kept an extensive ntercammmlbfw, menton street, and by his en- terprise and promptitude won the con fidence of the best supply houses in the East and the West. 1 lis business was good, his credit was good, and everybody thought be would survive the troubles of that long-to-be-remem bered winter of’s7. But he too, had many smaller merchants largely indebt ed to him for goods he had furnished them. He had a young, beautiful and high ly accomplished wife and three smiling, innocent babies, enough to inspire an affectionate father’s ambition and energies for their maintenance and education. They lived in a neat little villa of their own , in a fashionable por tion of the city, and the neighbors said a happier family did not exist in the State of Missouri. The crash came; his debtors were unable to meet his calls, and as a con sequence he was unable to meet the demands of his .creditors. -He sud denly became moody' and fretful, even in the bosom of his lovely family. What was he to do ? He had not much time for ruminating on his posi tion, and something should be done quickly. His first resolve was to make over the villa to his wife and family, and secure an annuity of S6OO a year on liis wife for the support of herself and children, and leave the city secretly- he' knew, he carefl’not •vbifher. Tattle Sine elapsed between the resolution and carrying it into effect. So one night afterward kiss ing his wife and little ones, but with out biddingthem good-bye, he sallied forth, determined to rebuild his fallen fortunes or perish in the attempt-Hia remaining stock was soon gobbled up by his creditors—but how as to him self ? What become of him ? Did he make away with himself in -a fit of temporary insanity, or was he made away with, asfeebres are frOln year to year that tall into the banfla of “roughs'’ who would murder a man and stow his Ixxly' away for $10? family, the public and press of St Louis at the tiini. No account of th< missing man could be ferreted out I‘roclamatiyiis and rewards were of nc aifiiP; the A»riiri r>W s**»litt wai “myfeerioiis disappearance.” OOf* • ili . Mrs. Smith mutinied her hunbaud an <1 nd for the weckoand months of two 4 Ung year*, till her flair feature* licgai to grow sallow and ftifrowixl by the effusion of scalding tears. She wisely it waa useless to mourn any more, so taking a practical and inter ested view of matters, she decided to rei’vivo the lung-iuofiicd iftentionK of Win Bradford, an old bachelor, companion merchant of her late Ihim haiul. He was doing a profitable lawinesa on street, having weath- ered the financial storm already alluded to. ' In a very few weeks after this reso lution she was hailed as Mrs. Bradford —the bloom again adorned her cheeks and a placid smile sat on her brow and lijis—she was again happy. In her new alliance she was blessed with beautiful children added to her household, and bearing the name of BradfoYd. But her happiness was not destined to be perpetual, for Wm. Bradford wasurfllloted with consumption, and gradually sinking under it, died during the last spring, leaving his wife for the second time a widow. To her and her children fell his business, which as she could not conveniently attend, she converted inter Cash, realizing a sum that placed herself and her children in easy’ circumstances. During all these long years, what became of “Smith? Me made his way to Montana, worked in the mines, where his intelligence and natural en terprise soon put him on the road to wealth. Some years after ho went there the small-pox broke out among the miners, and he caught the infec tion, from whicn he recovered, but so pitted that his mother would not know’ him. Day and night he labored and figured and prospected ou the realiza tion of the object of his ambition— independence, which is synonymous with wealth. ;i Last Spring his good star favored him. He struck a rich vein, and beheld in the bags of rich gold-dust around him enough to liquidate all claims against him, and place himself and his family, if they were still in existence, in luxury for the rest of their days. He sold out, packed up, and reached St. Louis about the first of June. Preserving an iucognilio, ho in quired for Mrs. “ Smith.” Nobody knew her or knew of her. His heart sunk within him. Did his fair wife and beautiful children sink into sor rowful graves while he toiled to make them happy? The thought was de pressing in the extreme. At length he met a person who was acquainted with the circumstances of Mr. Smith’s second marriage, and when Mrs. Bradford was pointed out to him he recognized the form and features of his long lost wife. After some difficulty he obtained an intro duction to her, and concealing his name and the knowledge of his im mense wealth, he wooed and won her. She gave her consent to be his, on the promise that the children of the two previous marriages should be well treated by him. On last Thursday evening, to the old villa, a clergyman was summoned to tie the nuptial knot, when the real name of the new suitor, and his former relationship (was disclosed; although the bride fainted, it was a happy re union. He was happy to see his child ren well grown in body, soul, and in telligence in the eleven intervening years. Words cannot picture the happiness of the twice married couple ami their family, and notwithstanding tftc traces of the small-pox, she loved her husband better than ever. May their happiness continue. The facts which we have learned from the clergyman who performed the ceremony, area romance that beats Enoch Arden to pieces. The Counterfeiters. • United rstmvß pi c ks on arrived here on the -21st instant with Williams and Frank McAnany in charge.
