City Printer—Official Paper
LVR6EST CITY CIBOILATIOW.
AUOUBTA. & a>i
I TUESDAY MORNING -Aug. 28.1868
To our Friend* and the Publio
Generally.
The Dailt Press has now been pub
lished about eight months, and Its suc
cess has fully equalled the most san,
guine expectations of its Proprietor; in
deed is has become one ot the institutions
of our city, and, we are proud to know,
a favorite with all classes of our citi
zens* It was at first but an experiment,
being published as a free circulating
paper, and many predicted that it could
not exist as such for any length of time.
Our experience has proved the reverse.
We can publish it indefinitely in its
present size and style, as a free paper,
because our merchants and business
men have learned ks value as an adver
tising medium, and with the moderate
ness of its advertising rates, has caused
them to fully and liberally appreciate it.
But some of our warmest friends and
most liberal patrons have urged us to
make it a “subscription" paper, in order
that we might produce it in a style
more suitable to the times and the re
quirements of the public, by enlarging
and otherwise improving it.
In accordance with this advice, we
propose, on the first of October next, at
the opening of the business season, to
enlarge the Daily Prbss, by the addi
tion of several columns, and lengthen,
ing them proportionately, so that the
addition will be equal to TWO PAGES
of the present size, or twelve of our pres
ent columns. We shall also publish the
latest telegraphic news; and devote more
particular attention, even than at pres
ent, to our editorial, general news, and
local columns —thus giving additional
interest to our journal.
Greater facilities will also be fur
nished to our advertising patrons in the
increased space, latest styles of display
type, and all the advantages of modern
improvement. For all this we shall
charge only the moderate sum of Five
Dollars per Annum ; Three Dollars
ro B Six Months ; and Two Dollars
for Three Months.
This, we believe, will enable all who
desire to takeuft newspaper to do so, at
a trifling expense. They will get all
the latest news of the day, editorials on
leading subjects, interesting locals, and
miscellaneous reading matter generally,
in a neat journal, printed on large and
clear type. Anew press has been or
dered for this purpose, aud is now on its
way hither.
It is our intention to make the Daily
Press every way worthy of public pat.
ronage, and worthy of the City of Au
gmta; and if our friends will only sus
tain us, as we have every reason to be
lieve they will, we shall succeed in pre
senting them with such a paper, at a
price which will place it within the reach
of all of our citizens.
Our country friends should send in
their Subscriptions at once.
Address E. H. Pcghk,
Publisher Daily Press,
Augusta, Ga.
—Miss Anna Dickinson is writing a
lecture for the coming season, on the
‘•Mission and Duty ot Andrew Johnson.”
It is to be hoped that Miss Dickinson
will hurry up the publication so that the
President will know his duty and mission.
Meanwhile, he and the country are in
anxious suspense.
—A young girl in Hudson, Mass., was
killed by lightning daring the recent
showers. She was washing dishes and
the bolt struck a tin pail that was in fler
hands, made quite a large bole in it, and
then glanced and struck her. She was
found dead, but there was no trace of
the lightning upon her person thatcould
be discovered.
—Simmy, my son, don’t stand there
scratching your head; stir you stumps,
or you’ll make no progress in life.”
“Why, father, I've heard yon say the
only way to get along in this world was
to scratch ahead.”
GRANITE
The Union Army nnd the South.
There is something about the military
character which clothes it with a degree
of chivalry and magnanimity that makes
it grand and attractive. In the true sol
dier, all the noble qualities of our na
ture are supposed to exist, and none
stronger than the lovo and practice of
honor. We are ready and willing to be
lieve, therefore, the statement of the
New York 7«mes,that nine tenths of the
Union soldiers are in favor of the Con
stitutional policy of President Johnson.
If they are true soldiers, and brave
men, they must respect a fallen but gkl
lant foo. They must obey the behests
of honor and magnanimity, and not take
the coward’s advantage of stabbing a
man who is powerless for defence. If,
then, we judge the Union soldiers cor- 1
rectly, and if the New York Times
speaks advisedly, the President will
exert a roost powerful influence in the
approaching elections; and even if the
worst should come, and the Radicals at
tempt the overthrow of the Government,
they will have the military power of the
whole country against them. We hope
that this will not be necessary; but that
at the polls in the Northern States, at
the approaching Fall elections, the
Union soldiers will achieve a peaceful
and bloodless victory for the Union of
the Constitution-
The Times says at the conclusion of
an article on this subject:
Bat this is not the only indication of
the course of sentiment and action
among the officers and soldiers of the
array of the Union. There have been
two important meetings of officers of
Conservative politics within the last few
days, the latest of which was held at
Washington. The attendance was large
and distinguished, and preliminary pre
parations were made for holding in a
short time a National Convention of the
Union officers of the late war who are
in favor of the policy of President John
son. A gentleman, who was present at
one of these meetings, and who has the
most extensive acquaintance in the
circles of. which we speak, savs that the
assemblage was one of the most impor
tant and significant character, and
gives it as his opinion that it will soon
be seen that at least nine-tenths of the
bravo men who lately led our armies
are in favor of the Conservative policy
of the administration, and will be found
supporting President Johnson as warm
ly in the political campaign as they
supported bis predecessor on the field
of battle. By this we can judge of the
course of the rank and file; for, as the
feeling of officer and soldier was once
on the field, so now it is one when
both have returned to the position of
citizens.
We believe that to-day the great
body of patriotic citizens who last
year wore the army blue, are now
united in sentiment with the Conserva
tive Union Party of the nation. They
do not desire that the splendid heroism
they displayed against the Rebel soldiers
should be followed by such a mean and
contemptible war as the Radicals are
now waging against the Southern peo
ple. They fought their foes like men,
but when these foes succumbed they
would treat them like men and citizens,
and with a magnanimity worthy of the
victors. It is a mistake to suppose that
our soldiers'are filled with revenge and
malice against those who were arrayed
on the other side. On the contrary,
they are anxious to stretch forth the
hand of fellowship, and ask them to
join in promoting the prosperity of the
country, and securing the freedom and
glory of these United States. The vast
importance and influence of such a feel
ing upon the politics of the country will
soon make itself apparent in a manner
that hut few expect.
The owner of a store in Montgomery,
for which he has been receiving three
thousand dollars rent, has voluntarily
fallen one thousand, and rented it for
two thousand dollars. When he gets
tired of Montgomery, we would he glad
to see him in Mobile.— Mobile Register.
After he is through in we
would be glad to see him in New

we will give him a cordial welcome in

When Nashville is done with him,
send him here immediately, and as many
more as can be found. One such man
will not suffice for this place! We’ll
take a dozen, or more I — Atlanta Intelli
gencer.
And when you have got through with
your cordial welcomes, send him here,
and we will wind him up on champagne
sherry and port. Send him and the
“dozen or more” along; they are all
wanted here.
A peddler in Arkansas attempted
improper liberties with a lady, and was
pitched into a well, his pack bearing
him company. The pack was saved, but
the man was not. — Exchange.
It would be well not to drink water
from that well, as there is no telling
what was in the pack.
Gen. Butler is expected to visit Mil
waukee this week, on business connected
