Cbolbra in Richmond. —The Board
of Health of Richmond announce that
there were six or seven cases of cholera
in tliut city, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Several coses are also reported to have
occurred among the Yankee troops at
Camp Jackson, some of which were
fatal.
This fearful and fatal epidemic is
spreading itself slowly, but steadily, over
the country. Wc cannot tell how long
it will bo ere we shall witness its devas
tating, death dealing hand waving over
our own households. Its onward march
should admonish us to give our undi
vided and constant attention to the sani
tary condition of the city. The authori
ties here have left nothiug undone that
tends to secure the city’s health. Citi
sens now must vie with the authorities,
to the end that the exertions and watch
fulness of the one party bo made of no
avail through the negligence of the other
party. Denizens should see to it that
their premises generally are kept in per
fect order, ami very cleanly. They should
also be cautious in eating and drinking,
so as not to cause a predisposition to
the disease. To be forewarned is to be
fore-armed.
A Poptn.Au Fallacy —That out-door
exercise before breakfast is healthful.
It is never so, and, from the very nature
of things, is hurtful, especially to per
sons of poor health; although the very
vigorous may practice it with impunity.
In winter the body is easily chilled
through and through, unless the stomach
has been tonified with a good warm
and in warm weather, mias
matic gases and emanations speedily act
upon the empty and weak stomach in a
way to vitiate the circulation, and induce
fever and ague, diarrhoea and dysentery.
Entire families, who have arranged to
breakfast before leaving the house, and
to take supper before sundown, have had
a complete exemption from fever and
ague, while the whole community around
them was suffering from it for having
neglected these precautions.
Editorial Courtesses. —Bennett, of
the Herald, thus speaks his mind con
cerning Marble, of the World, the hit.
ter the most brilliant newspaper wiiter
in New York:
Marble is the meanest man we have
ever met in the newspaper business ;
but we understand that he was not
brought up to the profession of journal
ism, and therefore may, perhaps, be
excused for his want of knowledge of
the courtesies which should prevail with
gentlemen in ihe conduct of respectable
newspapers and the rules which govern
their action in their exalted professional
career. We belieTe he was educated
for a parson, and that may account in a
great degree for his pie-eminent mean
ness.
Great Atlantic, Seahoard, and
Gulp Rocte. —This route is open from
New Orleans to New York, and affords
excellent facilities for travel and freight
transportation. Mr. Isaac Levy, so well
known in this community, is the agent
in Augusta for the route, and has a card
in another column, giving some particu
lars concerning it. See the advertise
ment.
Claghorn k Herring. —These gen
tleman have re-rented the commodious
store known as No. 7 Warren Block,
together with the warehouse in the rear,
and will continue to give their personal
attention to consignments to them, either
at Augusta, Ga., or Philadelphia, Pa.
We invite particular attention to their
card in this day’s Press, and commend
them to our readers and the public gen
erally.
Gone to Brazil. —Dr. E. L. Me.
Tyre, a prominent citizen of Bainbridge,
in this State, has gone to Brazil, for the
purpose of locating in that distant coun
try. He left Bainbridge on the 13th.
An established belief in his mind, that
the current of events is rapidly tending
to anarchy, blood shed, and irretrieva
ble ruin in this country, induces the
step.
The Wide Guage Completed. —The
first train through from Georgia to
Montgomery, Ala., arrived in the latter
city on the 16th—the wide guage of the
Montgomery and West Point Rail Road
being completed. This is a vital im
provement in the . West Point Road.
Through trains can now be run from
Montgomery without change of cars.
W. B. Griffin. —Our friend Griffin,
the well-known auctioneer, announces
that he is prepared to carry on his bu
siness again, and that his charges will
be very moderate. Mr. Griffin is an ex
perienced and well-known auctioneer,
and is sure to do a large business.
Jcbt So.—To be negligent of the
requirements of fashion, is to court ex
communication from society. A silk
dress adds greatly to a lady’s appear
ance. I. Kahn k Cos. offer all who will
purchase $5 worth of goods at their
store, a chance to obtain one of the de
sirables without money and without
price.
Pretty Impromptu.—Burns, goiaufj
into church one Sunday, and findjagtiW
difficult to procure a scat, was kl’iiilly
vited by a young lady into her pew.
The sermon being upon the terrors *if
the law, and the preaeher being particu
larly severe in his denunciation of'sig
ners, the lady, who was very attentive,
became much agitated. Burns, on per
ceiving it, wrote with bis pencil on a
blank leaf of her Bible the following rj
“Fair maid, you need not take the bint,
No idle texts pursue ;
’Tivas only sinners that he meant, . i
Not angols such as you.”
We think the above should be credited!
to “Se De Kay,” of the Louisville
Courier.
PpLiTEKBSS. A yotfhg MiTy was
sweeping the street with a trail two
yards long. A young man stepped
upon it, partly tearing it from her waist.
She turned shortly upon him and said :
‘ Sirpveu are a rowdy.” :He retfirttd,
‘‘Madam, you are a dowdy.” “If I
was a man, I would-thrash you,” said
she. “If you were pretty I would kiss
you,” saitf ,lie. “This is insufferable,”
said the lady, gathering up her calico
and turning away. “That is true,” be
replied, “whether your remark applies
to yourself, your dress, or the weather.”
Recorder's Court. —-In this Court,
yesterday, the following eases were dis
posed of:
One 17th Section case, shooting a
pistol in the city limits—fined $1 and
costs.
One 35th Section case, keeping a
store open on .Sunday—fined $1 and
costs of Court.
Onh 18th Section case, slapping a
little boy’s lace for-ringing door bells—
dismissed on payment of costs.
One 18th Sactiou case—Dismissed.
Two 18 th Section-cases—continued.
One 18i,h Section, case—fined jio and
costs.
Mr Foster’s Speech. —ln our report
of Mr. Foster's inaugural address, in
yesterday’s paper, the types made him
say: “My least efforts shall at all
times,” etc. He said: “My best efforts,
etc. As our readers 'are all intelligent
people, they must have made the proper
correction in rfeading the paragraph.
Still, to keep the record clear, we make
the correction here r aud regret that the
error should have occurred at all. But
the mischievous types will play strange
freaks sometimes.
OsE TaxEN a<V» this Orasu LEFT. —
The boiler of a locomotive on the Erie
Rail Iload exploded lately. The engi
neer, insured in the Travelers’ Insurance
Company, escaped with slight bruises:
the fireman, not insured, was killed.
Therefore, the inference is, that if you
insure in the Travelers’(B. H.Brodnax,
Augusta, agent) you will not get killed.
Cholera Infantum. —The Nashville
Board of Health has decided that the
lady who was seized with the pangs of
labor the other evening, in the Louis
ville depot, in that city, and imagined
she had the pangs of cholera, was at
tacked with cholera infantum.
Magistrate’s Court. —Washington
Brown and Daniel, two freedmen, were
examined before W.* G. Whidby, Jus
tice of the Peace for the 123d District)
on the charge of killing a heifer belong
ing to Mr. Sherman, of this County
They were committed to jail to await
their trial.
A Poor Vagrant. —Half a bushel of
old rags were taken from around the
waist of an old vagrant in St. Joseph’s)
Mo., recently, and wrapped in the rags
was found concealed $1,224.50 in specie,
and $329 in currency. He said he had
some of the coin forty years.
Quandary. —To sit on a sofa between
two pretty girls, one with black eyes,
jet ringlets, and rosy cheeks,; the other
with soft blue eyes, sunny ringlets, and
red cheeks and lips, and both laughing
at you at the same time. We know of
nothing more trying.
If you want fancy Ties, Slippers,
Gaiters, Shoes or- Boots, go to Cohen’s,
182} Broad street. If gou want a neat
Cap or Hat, go to M. Cohen’s, and you
will get it cheap.
Held for Postage. —Among the
letters held for postage in the Chatta
nooga (Tenn.) Office, is one addressed :
Miss Rebecca Lead, Mulberry Grove,
Ga.
H. Caffin advertises that he wishes
to sell off his entire stock, consisting of
meat safes, bird cages, second-hand
furniture, and a little of everything.
A. H. Ketcham advertises that he
keeps constantly on hand corn, bay,
oats, and family. Hour, which He sells at
the lowest market price.
Day, Russell & Benjamin will sell
in front and inside of store, this morn
ing, a variety of articles, consisting of
groceries, dress goods, furnishing goods,
etc. Be ou hand at the appointed time.

—The Portland Relief Committee tell
of a man who, two or three days ago,
applied for aid. He was requested to
answer several questions like the follow
ing: “Did you lose your house and
furniture by fire?”—“No.” “Was your
place of business burned ?” “No.”
“What grounds, then, do you ask aid
upon ?’’ “Well, a man owed me a note.
That man ha? lost all liis property, and
I had to settle with him at a discount,
and I thought you might make it up to
me.” - k
—A young lady recently returned
from boarding school being asked at
tabla if she would like some more cab
-bnge, replied : “By no means, madam.

that I have arrived at the ultimate culi
nary degitation consistent with the code
