Southern Medical and Surgical Journal. —It will be seen by reference to the prospectus in this morning's Daily Press, that this valuable Medical publica tion is shortly to be resuinod. Some thirty years ag*' it was established by the illustri ous founder of the Medical College, the be fore J physician, Dr. Miltou Antony ; and it has ever since maintained a high position in the ranks of the Journals of a like character in this country. Some of the brightest or naments of the profession have contributed to its pages, and helped to make it the valu able work which it was. Tbc war, which prostrated so many enterprises, caused the suspension of the Medical and Surgical Journal. But it is now proposed to resume it, and to make it every way equal, if not superior, to what it was in the past. It will be nnder the editorial management of Dr. Joseph Jones, one of the most accomplished Physicians and experienced Chemists in the Southern States. He is now Professor in the Medical College, and enjoys a reputation of which he has reason to be proud. He will be assisted by some of the ablest Medical and Surgical writers of the country ; and the experiences of the late war will furnish avast deal of matter, of the greatest impor tance and interest to the Profession, which will find its way into the pages of the Jour nal. It will bo published Bi-Monthly, at Five Dollars per annum, in advance, and will contain 176 pages of printed readiug matter; octavo. As each number will con tain a guaranteed circulation of 1006 copies, and no doubt much larger, it will present an excellent medium for advertising, for which liberal arrangements will be made. The Journal will be printed at the office of the Daily Press, which is sufficient evi dence of what the typographical appearance will be. The attention of the Medical Profession is earnestly solicited to this enterprise, and advertisements from all quarters are so licited. Will our Brethren of the Press, favorable to the cause, give publicity to our Pros pectus ? “Charity Covereth a s/cltitude of Sins.”—We beard of an incident, yesterday, which deserves to be recorded. A man and his wife died recently, leaving three children orphans, with no protection and no means, waifs upon “the wide, wide world,” to be tossed about, as it were, by the winds of fortune, objects of wordly charity. One of the children, tho youngest, soon followed its parents to the ‘‘valley of the shadow of death,” leaving the other two, a boy and a girl, still to be provided for. A woman whose errors have justly placed her under the ban of society, yet whose heart still burns with tho pure flame of womanly love and charity, saw the helplessness of the little orphans, sent food to them daily, and raised a fund, hy her own exertions, to send these poor wanderers to Philadelphia, where they have relatives,who will, probably, take care of them. She expects to be able to send them off in a day or two ; but yesterday a party rented the house where these orphans reside, and ordered them to leave at once, threatening to pitch them into the street if they did not go! What was to be done for them ? The “one more unfortunate” would not take them to her bouse, because, as she justly says, it is not a home for an innocent girl, whose virtue, whose reputation,is every thing to her. Though abandoned to a life of pleasure herself, she cannot and will not he the instrument of another’s ruin ; yet she threatens her wrath upon the cruel ones who would cast away the orphans to wander, helpless and unfriended, through the streets- She was, yesterday, seeking the friendly offices of our kind hearted Sheriff to aid her in protecting these little ones from violence and injustice! What a contrast! Virtue and uncharitableness on one side—vice and charity on the other! We hope that the good hearted woman succeeded in her be nevolent mission. We hope that in the day of her final trial it will be favorably remem bered of her; for verily, “charity covereth a multitude of sins,” and the cheerful giver is promised a blessing. The Registry List.—Now that the “horses are in the field,” as a friend face tiously alludes to the Municipal candidates it will be to the interest of voters to register their names. To do this, they must first pay all city taxes and make all returns. The number registered, so far, is small; but the interest in the election will soon be suffi ciently aroused to increase it to its fullest capacity. Those who want to rote should register at once and not wait until the latter day*. CHURCH RECORD FOR TO-DAY. First Baptist Church— Corner Greene and Jack son streets. Preaching at half put 10 A.

There must be labor which can be depended upon—there must be an abun dance of it, otherwise a blight will fall upon every interest, and poverty cause wide spread ruin through the land. W’e cannot dcpcDd upon the Freedman. If we have free labor, it must be an intelligent freedom —a labor which we can control, without the annoyance and machinery of ponderous Bureaus, and irresponsible contractors. To furnish such labor as this, is the object of the organization of the Georgia Immigration Company. The books for subscription will be opened until March 10th. when an elec tion for officers will be held, and the Compa ny go into operation. Somo of tho best farmers in the State Lave taken stock in it, we understand, which will be a guarantee of its success aud the fulfillment of its promises. One of the great advantages of this Company will bo, that stockholders will be supplied with white laborers at much lower rates than under the contract system of the Freed men’l Bureau; and much more reliable. Besides this, tbe introduction of white labor will bring into our State an industrious, thrifty class of emigrants, who will not only aid in the development of our vast resources, but become good and useful citizens, valua ble additions to the population and wealth of the State. The Ballad Concert.—We have much pleasure in calling the attention of our numerous readers to Mr. Gustavus Geary’s Ballad Concert as advertised in our columns, to take placo on To morrow (Mon day) evening in Masonic Hall. Both Mr. Geary and his daughter, Mina, are vocalists and musicians of considerable celebrity and on this occasion they will be assisted by our favorites, tbe Queen Sisters. The pro gramme is of a very attractive character, introducing several of tbe newest and most pleasing ballads, which we can confidently state will be rendered in such artistic man ner as to insure all those who attend a de lightful musical treat. Theatre.— Concert Hall will be again opened for dramatic representation on Mon day Doxt, under the auspices of the popular managers, Raymond A Hamilton, with an efficient Company. Tbe play selected for this occasion is the great moral drama of “ Ten Nights in a Bar Room,” founded upon T. S. Arthur’s beautiful story of that name. The management jromises a succession of interesting plays for a short season only, and none of them to be repeated unless by special request. They have already scoured the favorable consideration of this commu nity, aud may reasonably hope for a success ful season. An Improvement in the Post-Office. —We observe that our worthy Postmaster, Foster Blodget, Esq., has placed a bulletin board in tbe Post-Office, upon which is painted the time of arrival and departure of tho quails, office hours, price of boxes, etc., and a space left to give notice of tho non arrival of the mails, whenever a failure oc curs. It is a very neat and a very use ful board. A gas light has also been plaeecL in the entrance room, so that the board can 1 be read at night as well ashy daylight. A Splendid Piano.—Such a one can be had at J. C. Schreiner A Sons’ Music Store, Broad street. It is seven-octave, from tho celebrated Manufactory of Soebbeler A Schmidt’s, and the tone is enchanting. An examination of this instrument will satisfy the lovers of good music. ' Boots and Shpes, of the finest quali ty and at extremely low rates, can be had of Bones A Henderson. These |gentlemen kave just received a large and substantial siuck. A call from the ladies are especially solicited. See advertisement; Another Ball.—We understand that our Irish felloa-citizenß are going to give a grand ball on St. Patrick’s Day Eve. We wish them a pfieasant time of it. A little of Everything is adver tised to be aold to-morrow at the People’s Mart. Safety Fuse, for blasting purposes, it advertised for sale at 187 Broad Street.

This GUASiO was used very extensively in 1861 with such general satisfaction that, in offeriug it to the planting public now, We deem it unnecessary to publish any of the many certificates which we have received from planters this spring, testifying in the very strongest terms in its favor. All that we can say is to guarantee that we will pledge ourselves to furnish an article PURE AND UNADULTERATED, such as was analysed by Professors Joseph Jones, of’ Augusta; Charles A.
