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.

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.
