Hiller will hear of some thing to his advantage by calling at the Dsilt Press Job Office. A New Steamboat for our River.— The Charleston South Carolinian of March #th says : “Our busiuess i-oinmunity will be glad to learn that Messrs. Willis k Chisolm hare determined to open a steam boat line between Charleston and Augusta direct. During the interruption of railroad communication it will be a great advantage to the merchants of both cities to be able to ship freight from one place to the other without the inconvenience of reshipments along the route. The steamer to be em ployed on this line is tho “Zebulon B. Vance,” anew iron boat, built in M'ilming ton, Delaware, with ample accommodations for passengers as well as froight. No firm has done more to relieve the commerce of our city Chau that of Messrs- Willis k Chis olm, and, consequently, they deserve in the highest degree the favor of our community. The same journal contains an account of a moonlight excursion trip of the Z. B. Vance around the harbor, which trip was very agreeable and very satisfactory. This enterprise will be a great accommo dation to our business public, and will, we hope, prove successful and remunerative to the energetic proprietors. Dry Goods. lf any of our lady friends wish to see some of the finest and handsomest-goods ever brought into this market, they should go to Mrs. Pughe’s dry goods, fancy and millinery store. No. 190 Broad street. We took * peep in there yesterday and we found everybody busy, waiting on customers, opening new goods, and presenting great attractions to the ladies especially. Mrs. Pughe has a fine assort ment of hats, bonnets, ribbons, and every thing usually kept in a first class dry goods and millinery establishment. She offers them on reasonable terms, cither at whale sale or retail, and ladies and dealers should give her a call. She is constantly receiving additions to her already large and varied stock. The South Carolina Rail Road.— We find the following gratifying intelligence in the Charleston South Carolinian of March 7th : “It is encouraging to hear that, in a very short time, the trains of the South Carolina Rail Road will he running along the whole length of the line from Charleston to Hamburg. The officers are concentra ting all their energies upon this most im portant work, and are rapidly closing upon the breaks, now traversed by wagons, a dis tance of twenty-five miles, from lilackville to Johnston’s Turn-Out. We congratulate our public upon this prospect, and Messrs Magrath, Peake, and their officers, upon that energetic working, which, in spite of embarrassment, aparently invincible, has enabled them to do so much. The Weather.— We have had for several days past a succession of pretty wcafber—a fore-runner of “mild, ethereal spring,” and the fairer portions of creation hare taken advantage of it to promenade Broad street, adding so much to its hand some appearauee by their handsome faces, sweet smiles, and gay dresses. Fact is, its rather difficult for a poor editor and printers who work at front windows, to do much work of an afternoon. But they can’t help it; therefore nobody should blame them. We don’t. Bnt then if a man stands by a window, and gases forth at the pretty girls, and doesn't make wages that’s his look-out, not onrs. Loss of the Steamer R. H. May.— We regret to learn that this steamer, built in this city, and named in honor of our pop ular Mayor, was destroyed by fire, some two miles below Poor Robin, 140 miles below Augusta, on the Savannah River, on Mon day evening last. She had a cargo of 336 bales of cotton and six bundles hides, all of which was lost. The fire is supposed to have originated from sparks lodging in the cotton. The R. H. May was owned by Messrs Geo. T. Jackson A Cos., of this city. Iler cargo was valued at about SIO,OOO was not insured. The Constitutionalist. —We notice with pleasure, the evidence of success which oar old and respected cotemporary aeross the way exhibits. It come out yesterday morn ing arrayed in a handsome garb of new type, and is every way worthy of the enviable reputation whioh it bears. May its merits and its success never be less. They have a Horse Insurance Com pany in Louisville, Ky. It was chartered by the Legislature last winter, and is said to be doing a swimming business. It was chartered solely for the purpose of insuring horses, mules, etc., against death, theft and peril of inland transportation. We believe in insurance, and we have agencies in this city—look at their cards. Great Sale of Govemuxt Prop rrtt—We call the attention of builders, machinists and others, to tho greet sale of Government property which is to take pleee at Macon, Ue., on Wednesday, April 4th, 18##. It will embraoe copper, wrought, pig and cast iron, chains, cloth, bolting, powder, machines, besides harness, saddles, etc., paints, oils, ete. Catalogues can ba obtained from the Chief of Ordinanne, at Washington, D. C., and from the Command ing Officer of tho Augusta Arseual, Colds in the Head.—As this is the season for these troublesome and annoying little maladies, a remedy pointed out by the I tenoh Iloepilal Gazette may be of consider able interest and nse on this side of the At lantic. It consists in inhaling the tincture of iodide by bolding a vial of the tincture under the nose. The warmth of the hand volatiles the tincture. It is to bo thus breathed at intervals of tbreo minutes, and the malady is soon conquered. Theatre. —The enterprising Man agers, faithful to their promise, have already giveu a succession of plays ; and present an admirable bill for this evening’s enter tainment. It will consist of the pleasing comedy of “Satan in Paris,” and the amu- Bing farce of “Slasher and Crasher.” At Concert Hall you can spend a very agreea ble evening. If you want a good seat, se cure one and go early.

If any. he need not bother himself about it; but those who do love them, and want a really nice article, to all such we say go to W. H. Potter’s and get some. In case of ship fever or contagion of any kind on board of vessels, no better dis infectant can be obtained than Darby’s Prophylactic Fluid—better than any fumi gation, and no danger with it.

Professor of Medical Chemistry in the Medical College of Georgia, at Augusta; and tormerlu Surgeon in the Provisional Army of the Confodeiate States. The SOUTHERN MEDICAL and SUR GICAL JOURNAL, of Augusta, Georgia, was established in 1536, by the late Prolessor Milton Antony, the illustrious founder us the Medical College of Ueorgia, aud has al ways commanded tho respect and patrouage of the Profession, not only as one of the oldest and largest American Periodicals, but ohiefly by those valuable original com municatiojs, contributed by the most emi nent, scientific men and practitioners of the Southern States, which have enriched its pages during the past thirty years. The volumes already issued, embrace over six teen thousand closely printed pages, con taining more than six hundred original communications from professional tnen 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 JOURNa\L was necessarily sus pended. At the close of a Moody and dis astrous war, which has ended in the destruc tion and surrender of the Southern armies, aud in the destruction and capture of the archives of the Confederate Government, and of the immense stores of medical facts and observations accumulated by the Medical Officers of tho 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 he 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 doc trines.pfscience and of all the departments of Medicine, aud of the facts and discove ries tending to develop the material pros perity of the South, and especially of the valuable Medical statistics and observations of the recent disastrous revolution. In view of the good accomplished in times past by the publication of th<* SOUTHERN MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL, the Editor feels no hesitation iu urging its claims upon its former patrons and friends. The SOUTHERN MEDICAL AND SUR GICAL JOURNAL will be issued every TWO MONTHS, commencing Ist of July, 1866, 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 bo equal in size to the largest American and Euro pean Journals.
