Tuk JoitN.vy Hkus.—rThis Uaud of
Southern Ethiopian Minstrels will give
their third outertainment at Conrart Hall
this evening. We hope that wo are doing
these Confederates no injury iu saying that
they are Southerners; though wo are a little
ashamed to say that wo believe if they came
from a few States farther notth than South
Carolina, they would be more successful.
Our citlions should patronize these young
men. They were in the Confederate artny,
aud have no employment at present but
this ; am) while we do not suggest patronage
of them solely on this ground, yet it is one
which should uppoal to the liberality of our
people.
The Columbia South Carolinian commends
them to the eare of tho Augusta press and
to tho patronage of the Augusta people ;
nnd we bespeak for them this eveniug a full
house. There is nothiug vulgar about their
entertainments. On the contrary, they are
chaste and amusing, and wo hope that they
will be liberally patronized wherever they go.
Gen. Sherman's Speech. —A corre
spondent of the New Haven Courier explains
Geu. Sherman’s Yale College speech, in
which bo referred to future fighting, as
follows: “Tho General was not croaking,
nor had ho, as understood by the many at
tentive listeners whom I hare consulted,
tho slightest roferenoe to our public affairs.
His point was to assure the students that
opportunities for distinction were not ex
hausted—that they would find enough to do
iu every departmeut of service—that if they
wanted fighting there would be likely op
portunities even for that in their day ; for
himsoif, he hnd enough of it.’’
Manhood and Womanhood.—Who
are you, young man, young woman, living
in this age and country, and yet doing
nothing to benefit others? Who are you,
blest with the powers of body and intellect,
and yet an idler in the busy workshops of
life? Who aro you, with an immortal soul,
and yet that soul deaf to the myriad voices
all about you, that call to duty aud to labor?
Arise ! aud boa faithful toiler. God calls
you, and they both have a right to all your
powers. Arise ! make your whole lifo one
scene of industry. Arise ! aud go forth ;
aud every moment your feet shall press, or
your hands touch, some pedal or key in the
“ organs that, shake the universe.’* Arise!
there is work for you to do. Y'ou were
croated to toil aud hear a hand where the
hammers of time are ringing as they fashion
the fabric of Eternity.
Confederate Bonds and Notes.—
Not content, says tho New Y’ork Newt,
with compelling the people of tho Confede
rate States to repudiate their obligations,
the Radicals propose now to go a step far
ther, and make it an offence, punishable
with fine and imprisonment, for any one to
have Confederate bonds or notes in their
possession. A bill containing this pro
vision is now before Congress, and it fur
nishes a striking illustration of the infinite
meanness of Radicalism.
Edgefield jS. C.) Itesis.— The fol
lowing items arc from the Edgefield, S. C.,
Advertiser : f
It is said that our u District Courts,” as
established by the Code of Laws passed by
the last Legislature in relation to “persons
of Color,” will soon be put in operation.
Mr. James M. Lanhara, so lately returned
from Federal imprisonment in Charleston,
died at his residence in our District on
Monday last.
How to be Fashionable.— One who
professes to kuow whereof lie speaks says,
that to be a lady of fashion all that is ne
cessary is to buy everything you don’t want,
and pay for nothing you get ; smile on all
mankind but your husband; be bappy every
where but at home ; neglect your chiidron
and nurse lap dogs; go to church every
time you get anew dress.
A Philadelphia newspaper warns
Southern delegates to the Convention there,
that perhaps the presence of late “traitors
and rebels,” in their city, is more than
Philadelphians may be ablo to stand. This
is a call for a mob.
Dlobbs recommends that the Southern
delegates take a copy of the fsth section
along with them. He thinks that the Phila
delphians will not “be able to stand” that.
The River.— The river continues at
an extremely low mark. Tho bed is visi
ble in many places about the bridge. It is
almost impossible for the boats to navigate.
The Eclipse came up yesterday. She bad
to discharge part of her cargo at the Sand
Bar Ferry to enable her to reach the city.
Recorder’s Court.— There were but
two cases in this Court yesterday. A white
man, who acted in a disorderly way was
lined $lO, or fifteen days work on the
Streets; and a freedman, arrested under
the “Idle and Dissolute” Ordinance, was
fined S6O, or 90 days work on the Streets.
Halt 1 and before you go Riiy farther
in your hunt for summer goods, fans or
parasols, just stop ia at the Fancy Bazaar,
No. 253 Broad street. There you can ob
tain what you desire at low rates, as the
proprietor is selling off at very reduced
prices.
Select Stock.—By reference to an
advertisement in another column it will be
seen that Mr. A. Prontaut has just received
a select stock of jewelry, all of which is cal
culated to please ladios and gentlemen.
Preserve Yodr Sight—Prof.Cohen,
the renowned Optician, who favored us
with his visit in this city, will positively
leave on Sunday next. All those having
deficient sight will do well to call at his
office at the Augusta Hotel reception room.
Turtle Soup, made from one of
those line fellows, will h" served up in good
style, this morning, at th; “Office” baloon.
The Advantages of High Uknts.—
One of tho chief adveutages to bo derived by
BVariaions landlords is the eurtainty which
they possessor getting their pay. ,Os course
n* one could think of not paying his house
or stors rent, of course not; but, uufortu
nately, parlies arc sometimes found who uot
only think of it, but actually-put their
thoughts into execution. Ilor® is a couple
of cases in poiut, a little comedy for the
Augusta laudlords. Scene: Savannah. Time:
Nineteenth Century—after dark. Dramatis
persona): Influential business men from
the “ big Norrard.” The Savannah News
and; Herald gives the plot as follows :
Siiarp Operations by a Wholesale Li
quor Firm.—Sometime since a now firm
made its appearance on Bay street, in the
wholesale liquor and commission business,
with several specialities, good address, fine
stores ot Northern influential business con
nections, liberal with their samples, modest
in their drumming, and courteous to all
whom they met. They succeeded after a
while in buying soiuo goods in town on
time, nearly trebling thcir.stock, but recent
ly began very suspiciously selling them at
auction. A week or so since they sent their
wives North, from tho hotel where they
were stopping, and on Friday night the
firm itself stopped out by the Central Kail
road, leaving numerous creditors to whistle
for their pay. On Saturday morning their
sudden departure was discovered. The col
ored factotum was found in charge of tho
store. On being informed of the state of
things ho quiotly seized the ice cooler in se
curity for seven dollars wages, and othor
parties secured a few perquisites ou account.
Four barrels of whiskey constituted pretty
much the whole stock left worth attaching.
A similar stftry is told of a retail morchant
late from the North on a street parallel with
Bay street, further up town, but we forbear
giving names at present in either case.
A Welcome Shower.—For the past
three or four days clouds have arisen in
the West, South, and East, only, however,
to excite our hopes for a glorious rain, and
then move off,tauntingly. Yesterday after
noon tho long desired was visited, in a
measurable degroe, upon us. There was a
fall of rain sufficient to the laying of the
dust, and enough to make the atmosphere
a little more pleasant than it has been
lately. It would take fully a week’s rain
to saturate tho parched earth aud enliven
vegetation.

—“Well Tom, does your girl continue
to love you “Yes, more than ever.’ 1
“Indeed! what evidence have you of
that?” “Why, she makes me presents.”
“ What has she given you lately ?” “Oh,
she has made me a present of my pic
ture which I paid five dollars for, before
I gave it to her.”
—A down-east editor wants to know
why editors are not blessed with dona
tion visits, as clergymen, for editors, it
is well known, are proverbial for their
kindness ofheart, works of benevolence,
and excessively tender disposition to
anybody and evevybody who has an
awfully dull axe to grind.
—To live to ourselves, take pleasure
in the misfortune ot others, to have no
heart for devotion when in prosperity,
and to regard our own goodness as ex
traordinary, are !our unmistakable signs
of a bad heart.
—G. Hosaphat has a plan for paying
off the national debt. His proposition
is to convert the entire indebtedness
into greenbacks and keep them in circu
lation until they naturally wear out.
—“ The man humane and charitable,
augments his eonsidereration by bis
generosity ; the man without humanity
and charity, augments his wealth at the
expense of his consideration.”
Original Anecdote. — VAven Dick
Almz first crossed into York State from
tha Canada side, lie took lodgings at an
inn iu Canandaigua. A waitiug maid
sat at tho table with them, and Dick
spoke of her as thq servant, to the
no small scandal of mine host, wlm
told him that in his house servants were
called “help.” Very well; next morn
ing tlie whole house was alarmed by a
loud shouting from Dick, of “Help 1
help 1 water 1 water ! help I” In an
instant every person iu the inn, equal
to the task, rushed into Dick’s room
with a pail of water. “I’m much
obleegcd to ye, to be sure,” said Dick,
“but here is more than I want—to shave
with!” “Shave with!” quoth mine
host, “you called ‘help’ and ‘water !’
and we thought the house was on fire.”
e tould me to call the servant ‘help I’
and do ye think I would cry ‘water’ when
I meant ‘fire ?’ ” “Give it up,” said
the landlord, as he led otf the line of
buckets.
—A new arrangement has been
placed on the cars of the Portland &
Kennebec Rail Road lor indicating the
name of the station at which the train
is about to stop. It consists of a glass
case, conspicuously posted, containing
a roll of white linen, on which is printed
in bold type the names of all the sta
tions on tlie Road. As soon as one
station is passed the brakesman turns
the roll with a key until the name of
the next station appears.
—At Gazettesvifle, near Buffalo, N.
Y., a natural gas spring was discov
ered a year ago. Since that time
various experiments have shown that it
is of remarkable purity, and flows over
forty thousand feet per day. The well
has flowed in this manner for over a
year.
—Pounded alum possesses the quality
of purifying water, and a teaspoonfufl of
it thrown into a pailfull of torpid or muddy
water will precipitate the impurities to
the bottom, leaving the water clear
and all the better for drinking purposes
on account of the alum.
—A prize fight took place in New
Y’ork on Saturday between Mary Lynch
and Catherine Wallace. The bystanders
decided in favor of Mary, but Judge
Dodge decided against her.
—Thirteen objections were once given
by a young lady for declining a match;
twelve ot them being the suitor’s twelve
children, and the thirteenth the suitor
himself.
—A clerk in a music store was lately
overpowered by a fastidious young lady
who wanted to purchase “ Mr. Hood’s
—a —song of the —a—gentleman’s un
dergarment 1” The clerk is still alive.
—A witch being at the stake to be
burnt, saw her son there, and desired
him to give- her a drink. “No mother,”

drier you are the better you will burn.”
—A little hoy in San Francisco had

fined.
