This enterprise will enable our citizens to build up “rural houses,” bid defiance to the exorbitant exactions of landlords, and enjoy the healthy and rural atmosphere of the country. This project will soon be brought before our City Council, and will, without doubt, meet tho sanction and en couragement of that intelligent body; and it may not be long before it can bo said of Augusta, as it is now of St. Louis, that “numerous cozy little cottages along our rail road’’ testify its popularity and benefits. The Democrat says: One of *he many, and not tho least, of the conveniences of rail roads, is tho facility they furnish for attention to business in the city, while one’s residence may be many miles distant in the country. In the East, where rail roads have been longer in exist ence, this facility is well understood, aud is much improved. Along tho lines of roads leading into New York and other Eastern cities, beautiful villas have sprung up, and charming residences greet the eye in every direction. To these delightful retreats, the man of business, when his day of toil in the dusty city is over, retires to seek that contentment and repose that is nowhere so refreshing as amid green fields and waving trees. With such scenes about them, and breathing an untainted atmosphere, fami lies grow up healthier and happier, freo from numberless accidents, and uncorrupted by the swarming vices that make our cities sink holes of depravity. About St. Louis this system has not grown yet into general practice, hut it is already bocoming popular, ns numerous cozy cottages along our rail roads can testify. A young lady, aged sixteen years, was punished in a shameful and cruel man ner, at Cambridge, Mass., a few days sinoe, for whispering in school. One teacher clasped his band on her mouth, another beld her in her seat, whilo another beat her with a strap. While this was going on, a fourth was playing a lively tune on tho piano, to servo as an accompaniment to the screams of the sufferer. The case has been brought before the courts.— Exchange. Poor girl! She wasn’t black, and had no Bureau to protect her. If that had been done in the South, and the victim a negro, what a howl of indignation would have gone up from righteous New England! But, as it is only a white girl, it is coolly announced, without any extraordinary dis play of exclamation points or expressions of indignation. Horrible Murder in Atlanta.— The Atlanta Neu> Era gives an account of a horrible murder in that city on Saturday last. A Mr. Johnson W. Bridewell, a prin ter, disappeared very mysteriously. On Sunday morning his body was discovered in the woods terribly mutilated. By tho exertions of the polico, the murderer, a young man named Wilson, has been dis covered, and confessed to the crime. lie states, in his confession, that Bridewell took undue liberties with the former’s aunt, and, on boing ordered to desist, refused to do so, whereupon Wilson shot him and killed him. With the assistance of a negro man, he hid tho body, but all tho parties assert that they knew nothing of tho muti lation of Bridewell’s body. Coroner’s Inquest.— Yesterday, Cor oner Rhodes held an inquest over the body of a man named Alexander Moffitt, who was found dead at No. 83 Greene Street, above Elbert. The testimony adduced was that he came to his death by tho use of ardent spirits and an overdose of laudanum, and the verdict of the jury was in accord ance with the testimony. Mr. Moffitt was about 50 years of age, was in the employ of the Telegraph Company, and, it is said, leaves a family in Washington City. Juleps.—Our worthy host of the Au 'gusta, with thoughtful solicitude, sent us, yesterday, a number of juleps, which were properly dbposod of by all hands, (except Blobbs, who “couldn’t see it in those glasses,” as he was “absent, hut ac counted for.”) Mint juleps are said to have been invented by a Virginia editor who had kissed a pretty girl, and tried to discover 1 iomething that would be equal to it. After various experiments, ho invented tho julep . ; and all old bachelors who can’t kiss pretty girls, and old married men who have for gotten the bliss of courting days, have ever aince effected mint juleps. Being a Virginia invention, all the Virginia boys in our office take to it hugely. Health to friend Wright, and success to the Augusta Hotel. B Good News for the Ladies. —The ■Fancy Bazaar is still in existence, and Esverything in the dry goods and fancy line > Poan be found there cheap. A few more of ■those loves of parasols and fans aro left. KCall soon and examine for yourselves. Ex-President Davis and His Fam ily.—The Local of the Petersburg (Vo.) Index visited Fortress Monroe on the 4th of July, and in the course of his report, •ays: “A largo number endeavored to obtain admittance into this stronghold, but only a few wero enabled to gain the de sired permission, and being one of the for . tunate number, we entered Fortress Mon roe, and were ushered into the presence of General Miles, Commandant of the post. General M. is apparently about 2S or 30 years of age, rathor handsome in appear ance, and quite pleasant iu conversation, but has an extremely stern and austere look, and one from whom wo would not readily expect a favor. Everything within the Fort looks noat and quiet, and the regular tramp of the soldiers here and there denote the utmost rigidity existing. The greatest object of attraction being Mr. Davis, with permission, we visited his room, which is now situated iu Carroll Hall, but be being at his wife's apartment, which is in another part of the Fort, we failed to see him. Mr. Davis’'present apartments are as neat and comfortable as oould be furnished within these walls, and is undoubtedly a great relief to him from the miserable cell to which he was so long confined. Ho is now allowed the privilege of the Fort during the day, and at night isoonfined to bis quarters, with two sentinels outside, but who have their walkway embedded to the depth of some two or three inches with saw dust, thus breaking Iroin the cars of ihe prisoner the noise of their ceaseless tramp. A friend, who was personally acquainted with Mr. Davis aud family, was fortunate enough to shako the bauds of both himself and lady, and to ‘kiss tho baby.’ 11c repre sented Mr. D. as being in comparatively good spirits, attributable, no doubt, to the presence of bis beloved family, but as re taining tbe same defiant bearing which has always characterized him. We might here add that General Miles condemns in most unmeasured terms Dr. Craven’s book, de claring parts of it to be without founda tion." Laying it on Thick.— The Lynch burs: (Va.) Neica says. “Wo deplore and denounce the miserable spirit of monopoly exhibited by our Tennessee and Kentucky cotemporarics in deuling with Browulow. If this thing is to bo permitted, when Un derwood next afflicts this State with his presence, it will be out of our power to do more than to say, ‘you're a Brownlow/ or at the most, ‘you're a Brownlowest/ so ut terly have the powers of the language been exhausted on the notorious Knox-villain parson and Pub. Func.” The following, from the Knoxville Com mercial, is almost equal to Prentice: You poor old humbug, you silly old os trich, did you expect to escape the public odium and merited contempt by sticking your addled pate under such a bush as that? Get out, “you threadbare juggler/* and run on through, tho little remnant of your dis graced and disgraceful life—an arch apos tate, a brawling braggart, a leprous liar, a moral monstrosity, an ungracious upstart, a wind-broken wranglor, a yelping yahoo— hooted, hated, despised, contemned, ridi culed, pointed at, cursed, abhorrod, and scorned as tho offspring of all depravity, and unprincipled, low, and dirty in iniquity. You crooking old hypocrite ! you sniffer ingold liar! you ungodly perverter of tho truth ! you overflowing fountain of unmiti gated falsehood and vile calumny ! you old “chronic diarrhoea of lies!” * * * The most ungodly liar and the biggest fool liar now alive is Parson William Gannaway Browulow —the shame of Tennessee—a hu miliating burlesque on the high office of Governor —the instigator of crime—the con sort of felons—the coadjutor of assassins— tbe boon companion of murderers —the burning scandal to religion, and the foulest blotch on the civilization of the country ! Oxe of the most important decisions made by the Georgia Supreme Court, which adjourned last Saturday, is that a failure of consideration on account of emancipation cannot be plead against recovery on a pro missory noto given in the purchase of slaves. It is held that tho purchaser bought with tho risk, and must, become the loser. There are thousands of just such cases through out the South, aud we apprehend that the late decision will be allowed to control gen erally. Recorder’s Court.— ln this Court, yesterday, one freedman was fined $o and costs for striking a colored boy who was impudent to him. The boy tried to throw a brick at the man, and the latter says he attempted to ward off tho blow with a stick, which hit the boy in the eye and swelled it up. The Recorder does not want people to tako the law into their own hands* Tho Courts will administer it properly. Another freodman, “idlo and dissolute,” was fined S3O, or forty-live days’ work on the streets. At 190 Rhoad Street, Summer Goods are being sold for a mere song. Mrs. Pughe wishing to close out a lot of goods, to make room for her largo stock of Fall goods, bargains can bo had at 190 Broad Street. Mr. H. Caffin, wishing to return to his home in France, will dispose of his en tire stock of Coffins, second-hand Furni ture, etc. He can bo found at his store, No. 143 Broad street. Strayed or Stolen.—Any person finding a strayed or stolen horse (as ad vertised in this morning's Press) and re turning him to Edward Scott, colored dray man, will receive a suitable reward. Picture Frames and glasses are pre served from flics by painting them with a brush dipped in a mixture made by boiling three or four onions in a pint of water. Flour.—W. H. Potter offers for sale in another column a fine lot of Extra Michigan and Ohio Flour, at 181 Broad Street. A New York paper alluding to the numerous advertisements for the recovery of lost poodles, says a lady resident of Madison avenue advertised her pink-eyed poodle, which had wandered away, offering a reward and no questions asked for the re covery of Fido. A boy of ton years pre sented himself one morning at the residence of the fair disconsolate, with tbe long lost and sadly mourned animal. The reward was paid, and then' the lady’s curiosity over coming her promise to ask no questions, she “would really like to know where her Fido was found.” “No questions, you re collect, madam?” “Oh, but if you tell me where you found him, the darling, I will give you teu dollars more ; poor pet, and he is so cold and wet. I wonder where he has been all the time!” “Well, Miss, if I must tell, I suppose I must (pockets tho X), the fact is, I found him on Fifth avenue.” “Why, what was be doing away orer there, the pet?” “Well, Miss, I don’t want to hurt your feelings, but a negro man had him tied to a long stick, and was washing windows with him.” “What, my poor, dear, darling Fido! they made a mop of him! naughty man and the poor sympathetic creature burst into a perfect flood of tears. Tho boy had stolen the dog, dipped the animal in aj pail of water before apply ing for the reward, and concocted the story for tho occasion. Augusta.— A correspondent of the Petersburg, Va., Express, who signs him self “Squire,” in the course of a letter from this city to that journal holds forth as fol lows on “other things:” As I have given you what occurrod in the order of tho celebration. I will only dot an item or so about other masters; and for the benefit of those of your citizens who should come in this direction, I would re commend to them the Augusta Hotel, un der tho control of Wm. A. Wright & Cos. Mr. Wright is well known in your section, having kept the American Hotel, of Rich mond, in former da}’B. Mr. Editor, give Augusta a visit, and rest assured you will bo handsomely entertained at this institu tion. To-day they had an open house, and many a one did justice to the well-filled boards of delicacies spread before them. Iu Augusta there are a goodly number of Virginians doing business, among the lead ing houses here is Branch, Sons <£• Cos., of your city. This firm enjoys the confidence of the whole community, and their business capacity is appreciated. Young Tom is a perfect hero. His gentlemanly deport ment and business tact has won him a largo number of friends—the ladies espe cially have an eye on him, and it is sur mised that he is about to be captured by Cupid's darts. Geo. R. Crump A Cos., Blair, Smith & Cos., Neal, Whitlock & Cos., Geo. F. Kidd, V. Richards A Bro., and a host of others are all men of high social aud business staudingin this community. Last, though not least, the Craft is well represented, there being about twelve out of forty typos in this city from Virginia; all of whom are cordially taken by the hand here. Business of all kinds is dull, and goneral despondency seems to take hold of the mer chants. They are now between two fires— no sales, and anticipation of heavy house rents being imposed by the unrelenting landlords. Little, if any, cotton is coming into the city, and those who have it stored in the WHrehoußes are indisposed to sell at present prices—thinkiug that the coming crop will be a short one, aud that the prico of the staple will be enhanced. Produce of all kinds is plentiful and prices good. Fruit is beginning to make its appearance in our market houses, and command exorbitant rates, watermelons and peachos especially. Wortii the Charm.— Young men are mistaken when they think good looks their principal recommendation to women. A woman admires a handsome man for a time, but it needs something more than a goud looking face to retain this feeling. A wo man is, as a general rule, more stroDgly drawn by the intellectual qualities of the opposite sex, than by any thing else. What is above said, is also true of the gen tler sex. A man frequently says: “Yes, she is very beautiful, but thank Heaven she isn’t my wife!” Women like to be admired for their loveliness, and we do not mean to blame them for it; but it requires some thing more than more beauty to enable them to retain their influence over men.
