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.

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,” he said, it would do you harm; for the drier you are the better you will burn.” —A little hoy in San Francisco had his head horribly torn by a lion, which seized his arm, and drew him up to the bars of the cage in which he was con fined.
