SUNDAY JAN 23. 1«*« —OnSSRVATIONg KxTHAORniNAWY.— Washington pupers furnish the following minutes of Senator Williams' “ Southern t,,iir of observation:” “He left Wash* iegton on Saturday, Dec. 22, and reached Richmond Saturday night. Left Richmond Sunday evening, and made his report next Monday morning in Washington to Forney's Chronicle. This illustrates the speed with which a man who has made tip his mind before hand, can ascertain ‘the popular senti ment of the Southern people. ” Probably the gentleman had a large spyglass. —On Saturday night the Hon. Charles Sumner had a box sent to him at his rooms, which, on opening, he found to contain a human finger, accompanied by a note in the following, words: “You old son of a , I send you a niece of your friend’s finger. If your bill passes, I will have a piece of your body. A Union Man.” No clue has been discovered whereby to trace this strange missive to its origin.

SAG BROAD STREET, (Opposite Planters' Hotel), AVGUSTA, Ga. (SPECIALLY AND EXCLUSIVELY OPTICAL), This is the only properly constructed office in the South where accurate and minute measurements and adjustments, optically, can be made, upon which depends the proper treatment, and hence preservation of sight. Is it wise to ruin permanently the eyes to save a few dollars, or a short walk up town to the “Optical Djcpot?” Do you choose medicines without judicious advice? Equal ly absurd to choose your Spectacles. lam impressed that the evils resulting from the injudicious use of Spectacles suld by mer chants or charlatans, ought to be remedied by law, unless the seller can prove before a Medical Board his competency in this Speci alty. Alas, many learn this truth only too late. Born in your midst, the total loss of one eye necessitated this study for fnearly twenty years, and the entire proceeds of ar duous tabor for that period has been sunk in bends of my couutry, upon a Arm and unal terable conviction of right. Hence I have no regret, though compelled by force of cir cumstances, under great disadvantages, to elect this profession for support, not envy ing any man who eame out of this war full or //'handed. I shall prosecute it with strict reference to consiencwns duty, und its uses to this community. ja3—lm HENRY J. OSBORNE. W. A. RAMSEY. j B. F. HALL. yyr A.
