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. Special Notices. jDr. J. P. H.

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 tbe estimate of the committ c», and sot 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 found to be smaller than anticipated. > larger per contage -than this can bo pa hereafter, as wo have nothing now to a; predate.
