(Hit Bailji Jtlrcss. 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.

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 with the Soldier’s National Asylums. It is proposed to invite him to address the people during his stay.— Exchange. If he accepts, his subject should be “Spoons.” MILLS Special Notice*. Dr. J. P. H. BROWN, Dentist, formerly of Atlanta), Offloo 189 Broad Street, next house (MHk below the “ConitltutlonalUt" Oflee.
