Jilt Bitilu frtss. THE LARGEST CIRCULATION. AUGUSTA, GA.I SUNDAY MOHKISG March 11, 1866 To Correspondents. All communications on every business connected with the Daily Prkss, must be addressed to the Proprietor, E. H. Pughe, Augusta, Ga. lklobbg Writes to queen Victoria. Dear Queen Vic.: It was a very great pleasure to us to receive the package of English papers which you sent to us, us it is a very long time since we had heard from you. VVe would have pre ierred to have received a letter ; but we will try aud make out with the papers, though we can assure you, it is a great bore to us to have to rehd such large sheets as you have in the old country. Whv don’t you get out neat little jour nals, like ours, for instance, from which a person can glean all the news of the day in a brief space, without wading through ponderous gloomy columns of chaff to secure a very little wheat —say ? By the way, hope you get the Pbess regularly. If it is not left at your Palace regularly don't hesitate to complain, because the enterprising and liberal proprietor wants everybody to get it and read it, and Blobbs doesn’t wish him to be disappointed. So when you write to us again let us know if you re ceive it promptly. By the way, how are things getting on over your way? Have the Finne gans had a wake yet ? Hope they wont “wake snakes” in “otild Ireland” when they do ; though we are afraid they will. Pity they can’t take warning from the fate of the Coufedereight States and let lions alone—that is, rebel-lions. No doubt when the subject is investigated it will turn out that some enterprising Yan—we mean Northerner —is at the bottom of it, and that somebody, or somebody else, has made a snug little fortune out ot it. Yes, Vic., Fin-nian istn is rather a fishy concern, we're a thinking : and when the scales drop off of some people’s eyes, in certain circles, and the centre movement comes to a head, the ‘whole affair will fizzle out and you wont have to behead anybody. In the South we are not given to isms muchly ; and Finneganism is very sickly about here. A good many of us would like to see “ould Ireland” free and aisy; but we advise them all, “if they can't be aisy to he as aisy as they can be,” and let Finnegan and his isms alone. But enough of that. We see you have the cattle plague over your way. Well, we have had it here for a long time. The cattle break through the fences, ail we can do, and get into tlie neigh, hop's pea patches, and the neigh bor’s cattle get into ours, and we can assure you, it's a deuce of a plague. The best thing for it, if you can’t keep them out, or in, as the case may be, is to shoot the cattle and they wont plague you any more. But don’t shoot the Finnegans. We also observed something in one of the papers about a negro disturbance in America. Well, the niggers have disturbed us for a long time and do so yet. ' But we are going to bring over a number of ladies and gentlemen from the old country to transact our labor ious business for us, when we hope that we shall not be so much disturbed by the negro. Hope the Irish disturbance will not be as annoying to you. Education in India seems to be at tracting your attention. We are glad of it. Spread the blessings’of education, and the Indus-tvy of your India pupils will, it is hoped, be crowned with suc cess. Over here we have education in Africa on the brain, and quite a num ber of schools have been established through tlie South, where the innocent littl' colored “ideas are taught to shoot.” That’s a paraphrase, you know, but it’s been altered to suit the present condi tion of affairs. Although our young African embryo statesmen' and philoso phers have been but a few months en gaged in the pleasing task of drinking of the waters of the Pierian Spring, it is expeSted that they will soon be placed in Latin and > reek—fact is, it seems to he all Greek to them now, for notwithstanding the untiring exertions of those philanthropic people who “Come from Greenland’s icy mountains” and other places, to circulate Webster's Spelling Book and innocent little freedmen with a-b ab’s, they can t be got out of the old habit of saying de for the, sont for sent, and so forth. But never mind, they are free now ; and that’s what the Irish people want to be. Advise them to let it alone. If you should make them free, however, Vic., don’t give them a Bureau. Under the head of Local News, in one of the Liverpool papers, we saw the head ing of an article, “Mersey Docks Board.” We were about reading it “Mercy 1 Duck's Board." But as the Dock’s Dead, you couldn’t board him, though everybody over here is bored by the expression ever since President John son gave Forney that appellation. We are sorry to perceive that some of your Church folks are quarreling be cause some of their ministers put on vestments during service. Say to them it’s a poor in-vestment to quarrel about such things. They should pray for and not prey upon each other. By the way, we had the Italian Opera here last week. Sorry you were not here to go with us. Know you would have been pleased. Presume, though, vou have a theatre or two in London. But you should see ours. It has to be seen ttf be witnessed. Our Local calls it “our Old Drury.” . Respects to the Prince and all the other children. Yours, truly, Bi.obus. Municipal Election. ffigPa.

Southern Medical & Surgical I Third series— EDITED BY JOSEPH JONES, M. D. Professor of Medical Chimistry in the Medical College' of Georgia, at Avgusta; and Pormerlv Surgeon in the Provisional Army of tlie Confederate States. The SOUTHERN MEDICAL and SUR GICAL JOURNAL, of Augusta, Georgia, was established in 1830. by the lute 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 tbe (ddost and largest American Periodicals, but chiefly by those valuable original com municatio is, 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 men throughout the Southern States, besides an immense number of valuable articles, select ed from its ample list of American and foreign exchanges. During the recent civil war. the publica tion of tbe SOUTHERN MEDICAL ANI) SURGICAL JOURNAL was necessarily sus pended. At the elose of a bloody and dis astrous war, which has ended in the destruc tion and surrender of the Southern armies, and in the destruction and capture of the archives of the Con federate Government, and of the immense 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 tbe 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 tbe former usefulness of this Journal as a medium for the communica tion of the discoveries and advancing doc trines of science and of all the departments of Medicine, and of the facts and discove ries tending tdevelop tbe 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 the SOUTHERN MEDICAL ANI) 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 be issued every TWO MONTHS, commencing Ist of July, 1806, and each number will contain ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX PAGES of printed matter, (octavo); tbe yearly publication will therefore number One Thousand and Fifty-six pages, aud be equal in sizb to the largest American and Euro pean Journals. TERMS— Five Dollars Per Annum, in Advance. Subscribers are requested to send forward their names at once, as-ifc is important that the Publisher should have some idea before hand of the number of copies to be printed.
