TO THE PUBLIC. On the first of January, 1860, the Avgusta Daily PkEss will % bo re sumed, and its publication continued thereafter as an Independent News, Commercial and Agricultural Journal. The Daily Press will he published by Col. C. R. Hani.eitek, a gentle man whose name is familiar to the people of tho State, as the editor and proprietor ol’ the Soulhern Jliscel lany aud Satipiud Aineriean, at At lanta, from 1.812 to 1861, ami whose superiority as a newspaper manager is recognized by the profession throughout the entire ,South. The Local and Commercial depart ment, which will l»e a speciality of the paper, will be under the general super vision of Mr.»John M. Weigle, a >Southron Ijy-birth aud education, and who has been personally known from childhood to allour people, as a steady, upright, intelligent and honorable member of the community. The Daily Pjiess will notchampion any politician wr p< JUical organiz.atidp. It bet/MfcjxTp/eaiHiA its. comments on efirrent events. It.willxSijervftl.be right to commend that wl 4 Mt is con' 1 mendable, and to rebuke, in dignified language, that which may be detrimen tal to the public interests. To con tribute to the restoration of the old fashioned prosperity of Georgia, and the happiness of its people, and to publish the best and cheapest newspa per in the State, will be the highest ambition of all connected with it. I only ask that the paper shall be judged by its merits. Tho Augusta Weekly Press — containing all the Nows, Market Re ports, Editorials, and other interesting matter of the Daily Press —will be issued on Saturday, the 2d of Jan uary, 1860, and coniinuotl regukirly mere >Baturday morning thereafter. Terms: Daily, one year, Five Dol 'laus; Weekly, one year, Two Dol lars—invariably in advance. • E. 11. PUG HE. Important, if True. Wc see it stated, on what seems to be good authority, that Gen. Grant informed Hon. E. B. Wasiiburne and another Congressman, that if Congress did not repeal the Tenure of Office bill, he jvould call Congress to gether after the 4th of March, and recommend its appeal in a special message. The law should be repealed, as it is of at least doubtful constitu tionality, and ties the hands of the President to an extraordinary extent. The Now York Sun thinks it can not be wrong in announcing that Hon’. E. B. Washhurne will be Secretary of the Interior, under General Grant, ami says that he “will start upon his duties with the reputation of an hon est statesman and a merciless friend of economy in the public expenditures.” It is very probable that the Sun has no better authority for publishing this statement than have had other news papers for making similar statements with regard to other aspirants for Cabinet )>ositions. Tub venerable Dennis H«ahit will retire from the editorial chair of the Hillsboro (N. C.) Recorder on the first week in January. He hits pub lished the Recorder forty-nine years, and is probably Ihe oldest editor in the United States. A red-hot Democratic editor of Bellefonte, Penn., named Kiebolf has in press a work entitled, “ Brick Pomeroy Unmasked.” Klerolf is said to be a poor imitator of Brick’s style.

They inn.-t say lo their fellow sens of other States, “We propose no aoct?^, sion—no scpamlion from the Union—Uh ft* sistance to flic Constitution of the UlNtgd States, nor its latest 'aiiK mlnientsy but We will not submit to see our State government, while working in perfect jiencewilh the Fed eral authority, pulled down and set up at the dictation of a reckless cabal, ns is proposed tp be done for the third time since the Cqnfod erateforccs laid down their anus.” This ap peal, in that contingency, they must make, and they will get such a response as will glnddeti their hearts and promote the realiza tion of hopes Ion*; since believed to be dead. It will be seen that “Willoughby” writes very confidently of Northern assistance. The people of Georgia have heard such promises before. Those men who were loudest in prom ising aid to the South in 1861 gener ally turned out to be the most active among her enemies. If these people arc in earnest, let them get up an or ganization with bayonets and cannons, and trust to the South tt> help them. Unless they do this, the people of the South would prefer to cultivate their farms, and rely on peaceful means to restore, iu a measure, the old order of things. The people of the South are familiar with hardships connected with the militaiy service, from which “Willoughby’s” bomb-proof position protected him.

Certain parlies from Georgia, and auAig them her present Governor, with the avowed purpose of inducing Congress to destroy the present organized government of that State and remand her people to military rule or to the dictatorship of a Provisional Governor, with the army and navy of the United States to enforce Ins edicts, are representing here the imperative necessity of a change m the government of Georgia, on account of law lessness, anarchy and lack ot protection to life, liberty and property, and the pcrsoca tion and cruelty which the white people are inflicting upon innocent negroes in tluit State. It is important to (he .character and inter estsof Georgia that the truth should Ixku**’™ on these subjects, and <>ne of her n pi'e sentativwm Congress 1 take the liberty to ’.-’isk you, as an officer of the State, to furnish me with a brief statement of your personal knowledge of tie tin'h or falsehood of the re-presentations which arc being made of af fairs in Georgia and your opinion of the effect upon the interest's of Georgia and the United States of the adoption of tlic above measures, which are now beifig urged upon Congress. My object in thisconimunication is to place vour testimony Itefore tlic Reconstruction Committee, which will meet here January 5, 1869, and subsequently, if necessary, before Congress: 1. Arc the laws of Congress faithfully and impartially administered ? 2. Is there any organized or unorganized resistance to the law ? Are the officers of the law faithful to their duties? 4. What is the disposition, feeling and i treatment of the white people toward the bhicks ? 5. What toward Republicans ? 6. Wltat toward Northern men visiting or desiring to settle in Georgia? 7. Do the people desire peace, and a re storation of their proper relation to the States and Govemn ent of the Union 8. Is there, in your opinion, any necessity or justification for the proposed destruction of the present government of Georgia, and the establishment of a military or pro visional government? Please answer ns early as practicable. • Very respectfully, YourWbedient servant. Nelson Tut.

Marriage 4f Miss LeVert The New Y Mail comes to us with a long atjeofint of the marriage of Clarß N«ita, youngest daughter of Madame Walton LeVert, to Mr. Rigml Reap, of Augusta, Ga. For hearty enjnytnet?, the number of distinguished tests present, etc., this wedding may be considered one of the social events of the season.— Notwithstanding the rain the large chapel was filled with hundreds of people anxious t<> witness the cere mony. At half past seven o’clock the bridal party entered the church, Miss Octavia LeVert leaning ,on the arm of Mr. Jefferson, leading. She was dressed in rose-colored silk, cut en tntib. Pompadour waist, and trimmed lace; roses in the hair. The dress was jjery becoming to her dark imir aud'cycs and fair complexion. Madame LeVert followed, leaning on the arm of a nephew of Dr. LeVert, Dr. Skillera, of Philadelphia. Madame L. was dressed iu a rich pearl watered silk cut en train and decolette, with short pulled sleeves edged with laces Tho dress was trimmed with white Brussels lace imd brilliants.’ She wore a lace underwaist, fastened at thc> throat with a ..cluster of diamonds.— The hair was puffed. A beautiful lace shawl fell from her shoulders. Tlic whole formed a rich and beautiful costume. The bride and groom fol lowed. Mr. Reab is a young looking man, with a mild blue eye and light moustache. His family is of French extraction. He was dressed in the usual suit of ’ black. His bride, Miss Clara Netta, was very hand tome, in an elaborate muslin dress, with an immense train, edged with three rows of fluting. The skirt was composed of aleinatc narrow tucks , and pullings of insertion. The waist wRs tkcolctte, and edged ‘ with lace. A htCe underwaist fastened at the throat. A-Vide, white satin sash passed &gflnd the waist and fastened behind, site -carried a largo boquet of flowers, and a wreath of orange blossoms fastened the veil to the head. The bride was given away by Dr. Skillera, of Philadelphia. Tho music furnished upon the occasion was ex cellent. After the ceremony at the church, the party drove to the Cole man House, where a brilliant reception was held. Many very handsome toilets were displayed. Mrs. Senator Critten den leaning upon the arm of General Cabell, wore a biack satin dress, en train, with a rare and rich lace cap, and had diamonds for ornamente. There was a large reception at the Coleman House afterwards. The bride was the recipient of many handsome presents. Among others noticed a verv Doqttet from Dr. J. Marion Syms; a beautiful fan from Mrs. Charles O’Conor; a white lace morning dress from Mrs. Gen. Voile ;. a handsome set of ermine from Mrs. Judge Wells ; a beautiful set of coral from Mr. Darling, of the Fifth Avenue Hotel; a large and elaborately orna mented bridal cake from Mrs. Senator Crittenden; a table basket of rare flowers from the conservatory of Mrs. Barney Williams ; a shawl from Mrs. McKinley ; a lace pocket handkerchief from Mrs. Cabell, and many other presents from Southern relatives and friends throughout the North. | Courier Journal. A DEAD UI'SBANP HAS AXOTHEK Family.—The New Orleans papers tell of an unsoldierly trick played by one Captain Hukle, formerly of Spring field, Massachusetts Hukle cut a dash at New Orleans early in the war, and was a great ladies’ man. Very singularly one day the papers an nounced his death, and the Captain said it was too good a joke to be con tradicted. Soon after he married a New Orleans lady, resigned his com mission,. and began speculating in cotton, in which *he has been very successfully. All went smoothly until an unpleasant episode occurred, which is thus narrated: A few weeks ago a Mrs. Hukle, from Springfield, Mu&, arrived in this city for the purpose of conveying the remains of her husband, who died in the Spring of 5868, home for interment. But surprising as it may appear, the grave of the deceased could not be found. Almost in despair, she ap plied to the chief of police for information. The officer knew a man of the same name, aud it was Imrely possible that he might be a relative. Inquiries were set on foot, and the street and number of residence were found. Tn company with the chief the widow visited the house, and was hospitably received by the rosy-faced matron of the relative, lie was not in at the time, and she was courteously invited to stay to dinner. This she did, anil at the appointed hour the rela tive came in. But the scene that ensued is indescribable. in the supposed relative the lady'recognircd tier husband. Wife second went into' hysterics; wife the first was pale and calm. She talked like a preacher and to the point. Shi' tokl hint he had acted shabbily, and even ventured to call him .1 villain, bigamist and other epithets not exactly partaking of the description of en dearments. He didn’t attempt to deny them. She was, perhaps, quite correct; but he begged she would think, of the exposure. She would do this, 't he five years’ desertion entitled her to a divorce; a handsome sum wic put al her disjiasal, and the once sor rowing, but now incensed wife, took her de parture,' leaving the gallant Captain sadly contemplating the unlucky contretemps.
