E. 11. PUGHE,
Publisher Daily I’ross,
Augusta, (la.
Our country eotemporaries will con
fer a favor by giving the above a few inser
tions.
Southern School Books. e
A great deal has been said and writ
ten on this subject, but it cannot be
discussed too often. The South has
been accustomed to procure all of its
school books from the North, without
regard to their tone or character. Thus
the Southern child has been often re
quired to stultify himself in his studies
by studying and reciting that which
was false, and insulting to him and to
his section. To obviate this evil, great
care should be taken in the selection of
school books. If they are to be sec
tional let us get those which are South
ern in tone and character. If we wish
to avoid the inculcation of sectional
sentiments, let us select thoso which
are truly and really national and con
servative.
But there need be no difficulty on
this point. There is quite a variety
of Southern educational publications
which should be used in our Southern
schools. Wo have, for instance, a spell,
ing hook by our fellow-citizen, Rev.
John Neely ; we have a series of educa
tional works by Professors of the Uni
versity in Virginia, now in course of
publication ; and a history of the late
war from the press of the- New York
Day Book. Why not use these books,
and thus encourage Southern authors in
their laudable work ? The subject is
one which, we think, is worthy of the
most serious attention of Southern
teachers and of Southern parents and
guardians.
We should have preferred that all
these works were published in the
South; but if we will not encourage
home industry and home literature, let
us at least encourage home talent, and,
above all, home education.
PEACE.
Peace is a blessed word, and we love
to hear it and to repeat it. We have
been told that peace reigns throughout
the United States, and it is a joyful
sound. It must also be joyful news to
the people of Germany to be told that
peace reigns throughout those States
once more. After a brief, but fearful,
struggle, the war between Austria and
Prussia has closed with triumph to the
latter, and humiliating defeat to the for
mer. The treaty of peace was signed
by the respective Plenipotentiaries at
Prague, on Thursday, August 23rd,
1866. How long this peace will last
cannot be foretold; but it is already
hinted that the feeling in Austria is, the
war has ended only for the present, but
war in the future to re-establish her sui
premacy in Germany. To gain this su
premacy the Emperor will adopt a wiser
and conciliatory policy toward her sub
jects—a policy inaugurated in his de
mand that some of the conquered Pro
vinces shall return* to the authority of
Denmark, if these people desire it, and
jn the granting of anew Constitution
and Ministry to Hungary, The adoption
of this policy by Francis Joseph will
give him strength and-popularity among
the German States, while a contrary one
by Frederick William will rdnder Prussia
•weak and distasteful to her dependencies.
Peace, therefore, it is to be feared, is
not permanent; still it is pppee, q«d it
will be hailed with joy and gladness.by
all who come under its blessed influence.
Reunited. —After a separation of
nineteen years, the Grand Odd Fellows’
Lodges of Southern and Northern New
York have re-united, and held their
regular annual meeting under the old
name of “Grand Lodge of the State of
New York,” in Odd Fellows’ Hall, New
York city, on Tuesday. There were
about one hundred and ninety-six lodges
in attendance.
GRANITE
Our Annual City Directory.
We issued last year our first Directo
ry of the City of Augusta. Wo stated
then that we intended to isaue it annual
ly, and in accordance with this promise
the second number will be issued as soon
after October as possible. Our canvas
sers will wait upon our citizens, and will,
we hope, be received with the same cour
tesy and attention as they were last
year. Tho Directory is a most useful
publication, not only to the bnsiness
men of this community, but of other
cities with which Augusta has dealings.
The second number will contain a
colored map of Georgia and a large
amount of statistical and political infor
mation, which will be found generally
useful. We intend that our City Di
rectory shall be one of the institutions
of Augusta, and shall spare no pains nor
expense to make it as correct as possi
ble and useful to the public.
Advertisements inserted on very lib
eral terras.
Informer’s Fees. —The Secretary of
the Treasury, under the recent Act of
Congress, has presented a schedule of
informer’s shares. Os the first five hun
dred dollars of any penalty, the former
shall receive 50 per cent.; of the next
fifteen hundred dollars. 40 per cent.; of
the next two thousand dollars, 30 per
cent.; of the next two thousand dollars,
25 per cent.; of the next two thousand
dollars, 15 per cent.; of the next two
thousand dollars, 10 per cent.; of all
above twelve thousand dollars, 5 per
cent. Thus, if the penalty is five hum
dred dollars, the informer will receive
$250 ; if one thousand dollars, $450; if
two thousand dollars, $850; if three
thousand dollars, $1,150; if four thous
and dollars, $1,450; if five thousand
dollars, $1,700; if six thousand dollars,
$1,950; if seven thousand dollars, $2,150;
if eight thousand dollars, $2,350; if
nine thousand dollars, $2,950 ; if eleven
thousand dollars, $3,750; if twelve
thousand dollars, $3,850; of every ad
ditional one thousand dollars, up to fifty
five thousand dollars, SSO.
Matter of Curious Wonder. —ls it
not a matter for curious wonder that
when a person goes to purchase as in
significant an article as an earthen dish,
he or she will examine and test it in
every way to see that it has no cracks or
crevices in it. And yet the same per
son is entirely -careless in the choice of
a friend, and is content to take him
without looking for the flaws of vice in
his character. In this consists the great
error in tho life of the vast majority of
people; for surely a person’s companion
is a second genius to sway him to the
right or wrong way. How important
then, it is lobe circumspect and cautious
in the choice of a friend.

Augusta Savings Bank.
This institution has been
paying, for the past year, fifteen cents
on the dollar for the Certificates of Deposit
which it issued during the war in exchango
for Confederate money. This per centago
has been paid on the recommendation of ■
committee, composed of Dr. Joseph Miili •
gan, Josiah Sibley, Esq., and W. J. Owens,
Esq., three disinterested citizens of Augusta,
of high character and position, who exam
ired and valued all the assets of the Bank.
This valuation did not amount to fifteen
per cent, of our circulation, but the oom
mittce estimated that we might he able t
pay this per centage on the supposition tli
many of the hills had been lost or dr
stroyed. Since their examination, all t!
Exchange, Coin, Bullion, Bank Bills, Bout! *
Stocks, Coupons, Cotton and Mcrcbandi,
held by the Bank have been sold. Some • ,
these have proved to be less valuable tbp

more; but on the whole an advance •
nearly twenty per cent, bah been TeelUei
so that the Bank will be able to p»
eighteen cents in the dollar for its chan;
bills, unless the number destroyed shall 1
