Blobbs. —We don’t know if any of our readers remember Blobbs. If they don't, W e do. Blobbs was river reporter for a city cotemporary, and spread himself out on a flood one day. Fortunately the flood did not spread itself on him, for if it had, alas! there might have been an end to Blobbs, god the readers of his luminous productions would “ne’er have looked upon his like again.** But Blobbs has had some hair breadth adventures since that memorable day ; and we should like to recount them if we had the time and the space; but vje haven’t. We will only say, therefore, that when the war broke out Blobbs volunteered his services to his country —that is to say, the conscript officer and a detachment of soldiers asked him to volunteer and actually did him the honor to escort him to Camp Randolph; where he did “ guard duty, marchiug and countermarching” ad in Jini~ turn. When asked for his “papers,” he im mediately replied that he had but one, and pulled out the Daily Blank, for which he had the honor to report; but the conscript officer, although not blind, “couldn’t see it,” and so Blobbs had to volunteer. Well, he managed to work his way out of the army, however, and taking up an idea that he was destined for the stage* joined a dramatic company, and did the heavy parts—that is removing the tables, and chairs, and doing up the “attendants, citizens, guards, etc.,” in the plays, all for a compensation. After the war ended, he became private secretary to a small pox cart, but as that didn’t pay much and was rather hazardous, be soon re linquished it: and wc have now the honor to announce that we have secured the pro fessional services of Mr- Blobbs—Major Blobbs we believe he was during the war— and will give some of his lucubrations as they transpire. The Griffin Tri-Weekly Star. — Mr. Fitch, the editor of this enterprising journal, is in town and will call upon the wholesale dealers for advertisements. This paper, has a very extensive circulation in middle Georgia, and is becoming extremely popular. The merchants of Augusta formerly did a large jobbing business in the section of country where the Star is published, and it only needs the necessary energy to bring hack their old customers and new ones with them, and they always bring the cash now. We bespeak for Mr. Fitch a profitable as well as pleasant sojourn while in Augusta. A Handsome Specimen Book.— We have just received a large lot of new type, and with it a handsome specimen book of printing type and material from the well known foundry of L. Johnson k Cos., Phila delphia. This book is one of the prettiest specimens of typography we have seen lately, and would be an ornament for a parlor centre table. Freedman’s Court.—The preliminary examination of John Mitchell, colored, for the murder of Juriah Mason, colored, on the 27th ult., took place before Judge Davis, at t]£ Freedmen’s Court, on Friday and Saturday last. The Judge gave his deci sion yesterday morning, discharging the accused. The defence was ably conducted by A. D. Piquet, Esq., and John D. Reilly, Esq. Straw and Millinery Goods.— Messrs. Levett k Haworth, importers and jobbers in straw and millinery goods, No. 232 Arch street, Philadelphia, have a card in this morning’s- Pres*. We ask the atten tion of dealers generally to this house. They bav#i branch at 118 Bryru street,Savannah, where all orders will be promptly and liber ally filled. Insurance.

Soldier Killed.— A private soldier was shot and killed by a Sergeant, near the Academy Barracks, on Telfair street, on Monday night last. Coroner Rhodes held an inquest on the body of the deceased yes terday, and returned a verdict in accord ance with the facts elicited. A Nice Qciet Place.— John Chen nell says that tho Hole in the Wall is a nice quiet place, where you can smile and smile, and smile and smile, without being inter rupted. If you want to smile accept John’s invitation and drop in. Coal.— G. B. &G. W. Lamar, No. 92 Berry street, Savannah, Ga., offer for sale various kinds of coal in amounts to suit purchasers. See their card in another column. Administrator’s Notice.— See Ad ministrator’s Notice—F. C. Barber. Grand Fete—Costume or Shoddy.—< We clip the following amusing caricature from one of our esohangee: “The lady of the mansion wears a dress of golden tissue over yellow satin,, which flashes like Are . to match this gaudy robe, her brow is band ed with a coronet of actual flame. This last hut crowning surprise for her darling, en vious guests, has been affected by conceal ing a bag of gas beneath her ample skirts, and conducting it by a flexible tube through her luxuriant hair, into the jetswwhich form the crown. Sapphires and opals gleam upon her neck aud arms, and stud the fan of golden oriental plumage which she car ries ; diamonds flash from the clasps of her gilded slippers; diamonds, again, worn out side of her flame colored kids, flash from the fingers of this imperial dame. There she stands, a monument of bad taste and superfluous wealth, blazing away like some gigantic candle, and inspiring every one with an uecomfortable desire to rush and clap on an extinguisher.” Consignees per Central Rail Road.

Robbery.—A freedman was arrested yesterday charged with stealing $1,500 from the drawer of Mr. Ilaughton, on Ellis street, near Jackson. The Hon. A. H.

COTTON.—The market has been unusua ! - ly dull to-day. Strict Middling, which brought 36 cents yesterday, could not have been sold lor more than 35 cents to-day. —lt is a sublime spectacle to see a man like Alexander H. Stephens, just returned from the confines of a North ern prison, wasted in health and in means, exhorting his countrymen to patience and Christian forbearance. Let all Christian men emulate his noble ex ample. Good government is what we want. Thh can be obtained only through patience, forbearance and charity, by partizans of both sections.— Atlanta New Era. —A learned young lady astonished a a company by asking for the loan of a “dimunitive, argentifferous truncated cone, convex on its summit, and semi perforated with symmetrica! indenta tions.” She wanted a thimble. —Old master Brown broughthis ferule down; his face was angry and red. “Now, Anthony Clair, go seat you there, along with the girls,” he said. Then Antony Clair, with mortified air, and his chin bent down on his breast, crept slowly away, and sat all day by the girl that loved him best. —Jas. L. Butler, Commissioner of the State of Missouri to the Paris Exposition, has written a letter to Secretary Seward announcing that Missouri will be well represented, and hoping that other States will not be neglected. A. Ward thus describes his perils at sea: “l)eth stared us into the face. But we had rather the advantage ov Deth. While Deth stared us in the face thar was about 70 ov us starein Deth in the face. The prospect wasn’t pleasin’ to us. Not much. I don’t know how Deth liked it.” Southern Medical & Surgical J'OXJK.INrA.X- I Third series— kditkd by JOSEPH JONES, M. D. Pmfestor of Medical Chtmiatri/ in tt\t Medical College of Georgia, at Augusta; and formerly Surgeon in the Provisional Army of the Confederate States. Tho SOUTHERN MEDICAL and SUR GICAL JOURNAL, of Augusta, Georgia, was established in 1836, by the late Professor Milton Antony, the illustrious founder of the Medical College of Georgia, and has al ways commanded the respect and patronage of the Profession, not only as one of the oldest and largest American Periodicals, but chiefly by those valuable original com munication, contributed by the most eir.i neut, scientific men and practitioners of the Southern States, which have enriched its pages during the past thirty years. Tho volumes already issued, embrace over six teen thousaud closely printed pages, con taining more than six. hundred origiual communications from professional men throughout the Southern States, besides an immense number of valuable articles, select ed from its ample list of American aud foreign exchanges. During the recent civil war, the publica tion of the SOUTHERN MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL was necessarily sus pended. At the close of a bloody and dis astrous war, which has ended in the destruc tion aud surrender of the Southern armies, and in the destruction and capture of the archives of the Confederate Government, and of the immcise stores of medical facts and observations accumulated by the Medical Officers of the Confederate Army, under the direction of their intelligent and efficient Surgeon General, it is believed by medical men of the highest standing in this section of the .South, that it is important to estab lish at this time a Medical Periodical of sufficient size to furnish ample room for the publication of the valuable experience of the Medical Officers of the late Confederate Army. It will be the earnest effort of the Editor to sustain the former usefulness of this Journal as a medium for the communica tion of the discoveries and advancing trines of science and of all the departments of Medicine, and of the facts and discove ries tending to develop the material pros perity of the South, and especially of tfye valuable Medical statistics find observations of the recent disastrous revolution. In view of the good accomplished in times past by the publication of the SOUTHERN MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL, the Editor feels no hesitation in urging its claims upon its former patrons and friends. The SOUTHERN MEDICAL AND SUR GICAL JOURNAL will he issued every TWO MONTHS, commencing Ist of July, 1868, and each number will contain ONE HUNDRED'AND SEVENTY-SIX PAGES of printed matter, (octavo) ; the yearly publication will therefore number One Thousand and Fifty-six pages, and be equal in size to the largest American aud Euro* pean Journals.
