As this is anew system to our people, and understood but by few, we append a brief outline of its work ings, which we gather from an ex change : The smallest order granted is for one dollar, and the highest thirty dollars ; but more than one order may be ob tained. A person in this city, wishing to pay a in a distant town, deposits the sum with the Postmaster here, and fills up a blank in accordance with the instructions furnished at the time. An order is then given him, which he remits to the proper person, who obtains the money from the Postmaster where he resides. No one can draw the money but the person to whom it is pnyable, unless a written transfer is made. In either case, the party must clearly prove his idcutity, for the Postmaster will by no means consider simple possession of the order a proof of ownership. Should the order he lost or stolen in transitu, the possessor benefits nothing, for it can be caslied only at the office upon which it is drawn, and under the condition above mentioned. In three months every order becomes invalid, and if one should be missing, it can, at the expira tion of that time, either be renewed by the person making the remittance or the money will be refunded to him. Only a single transfer can be made of a postal money order, two transfers ren dering it void, and compelling the holder to make application to the Department at Washington for the reimbursement of the amount. The commission charged is very small. The whole system is well matured, and it is almost impossible tor fraud to be perpetrated on the Post Office De partment—quite impossible for the payer or payee to be defrauded, if they com ply with the regulations, for the Post master is the loser if h« pays to an un authorized party. Administration Os the Sacrament. —“lreneus,” of the New York Observer, describes a morning service which he attended at Mr. Spurgeon's Church in London, and says : “Closing with the Apostolic benediction, he invited all members of sister Churches to meet him and his Church in the room below, and unite in the Lord's Supper, and tickets “Would be given to strangers applying at the door. Desirous of joining my brethren in this ordinance, and wishing to be certain that the invi tation included other than Baptists, as this is the largest Baptist Chnrch in the world, I went to the room where the deacons were distributing the cards, and I said, ‘ I am a Presbyterian, from New York, shall Igoin ?’ * Certainly,’ said the deacon, with a smile of wel come, and he gave me a ticket of ad mission to the Lord's Table in a Bap tist Church, a regular orthodox Baptist, of the purest, most scriptural typo of any in which 1 have worshipped. The service was brief, simple, but very beau tiful, tender, and refreshing. It is ad ministered every Sabbath.” On Doty Again. —The public will be pleased to learn that the tall young Guardian of the Night, who was sus-. pended from office some ten days ago tor a slight violation of police regula tions, in allowing himself to be charmed by music, emanating from a richly toned piano, over the ivory keys of which swept the heavily jewelled fingers of a beautiful young lady, who has A brow whose frowns arc grand, Aneyebf sun lit brightness; A swan like neck, an arm and hand Os most bewitching whiteness— . is again on duty. The Sergeant of the beat came upon the pol'ceman aforesaid, whilst the latter was repeating to himself Mrs. Norton’s words: “Music, the tender child of rudest times, The gentle native of all lands and dimes; Who hymns alike man’s cradle and his grave, Lulls the low cot, or peals along the nave. '* And when he was questioned as to the degree of quiet that reigned in the Dis trict, the music-struck watchman only exclaimed: O ! what a gentle ministrant mnsic is. Mae L’(ook)more to the left and right, and be careful that you fall not. Cotton. —Letters from Southwestern Georgia, says the Macon lelegraph, give gloomy accounts of the cotton crop. After long suffering from drought, the recent contiguous wel weather is doing immense damage by forcing the growth of the plant and causing it to shed its fruit. The planters are steering this year against wind and tide, but they have the consolation of knowing that if they make but little, it will command a big price. Repairing the Church. —The ladies of St. James Methodist Church are having that edifice thoroughly reno vated, white-washed, and painted. The Sabbath School Room will receive merit ed attention. BRAN, Etc. Street Education of Boys. Mr. Editor: —ln passing through tho •trouts of tho city, it frequently happens that men and boys, or groups of them, are met with, who unblushingly make use of bad language and exhibit bad manners, and tbe question bas often occurred to me, do these men and boys learn auoh things at borne or in the streets ? It ig hardly .possible that tho low and Vulgar slang, oaths, etc., I hare so often heard, can be tolerated in any home worthy of that designation, and especially if it happens to cover a mother or a sister; yet I am unwilling to believe that in any of the by-ways of the city a sehool for any such vice can he found. Taking it for granted that Editors know some tbiug about every tiiiug, I beg leave to ask your attention to this matter, and if you please give us some advice on tbe sub ject of the “street education of hoys.” Hexagon. Augusta, September 4th, 1866. On*correspondent’s premise is rather extensive in “taking it for granted that Editors know something about every ; thing.” It is true that They frequently enjoy facilities for obtaining information on various subjects which the public do not; but, in the present instance, we fear that our facilities for complying with Hexagon’s request are not conve nient or sufficient. We have, however, laid it down as a rule, that the language of children, as a general thing, is moulded at home. It is often the case that parents and others will, in the hearing of children, use some slight expression, which, though it may not be an oath in itself, yet has that form, and its effect upon the youth ful bearer is almost as bad. And why ? Because he hears these expressions from those whose words and actions are his guide-boards and copy-books, as it were) and by using them frequently is the more readily led into these more vile and disgraceful foims which have so naturally shocked the ears of our esti mable correspondent. We need not re peat those “mild expressions” to which we have alluded. They will suggest themselves to our readers ; for they are heard in some, even in the most, polite households, and are familiar to all. They are, as we have said, not bad in them selves, but they prepare the youthful mind for the reception of worse. Our advice, then, is to parents and guardians to allow no expressions having that ten dency to he used in the hearing of chil dren. They should, on the contrary, take every occasion to impress upon the minds of the youth the folly and the wickedness of oaths, and giving no bad example themselves, the child will not be apt to use vile language any where. If, however, as is often the case, de spite proper teaching and good example at home, children learn improper lan guage in the streets, there is an easy remedy for that also. Keep them out of the street. Make home pleasant and attractive to them. If they have a taste for music give them plenty of it. If they love reading, encourage that. If they want to play, give them plenty of room at home to play; or, if your yard is small, let the playground be where the parental eye can overlook. Thus, hv proper precept and good example—by great care and watchful ness, the propensity for using bad lan guage may be cured, or, if the habit is unfortunately already acquired, it may be broken. “Where there is a will there is a way,” but it mustbe a right, a prompt, and a positive way, otherwise it will not be an efficacious wav. We hope that this advice may be satisfactory to our friend and to our readers generally. It is from experi ence that we write : and we only regret that want of space and time prevent us from enlarging further on the subject, It is one of great importance, and is worthy of discussion. If our corres pondent has anything better, we shall be pleased to hear from his able and more experienced pen on the subject. Correction. —ln a paragraph about “Cotton Sales and the Revenue Tax,” in our paper of yesterday, the types made us say “Cotton Factories,” in three instances, when we wrote it “Cot ton Factors.” Sometimes the types will make us say what we do not intend. All that we can do, afterwards, is to cor rect it. Shooting Scrape. —James E. Tant, constable, while engaged in executing a Distress Warrant, yesterday, shot Patrick Brennan, the ball taking effect in the hips. Tant was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Crump, yesterday evening. As the matter will undergo investigation we make no comments. Inferior Court. —Yesterday the In ferior Court met to investigate the fol lowing cases of lunacy. In lie—Ed ward W. Blease. In Re —Martha Ann Hart. The juries in both cases having found them to be lunatics, they were accordingly ordered to' be carried to the Asylum at Milledgeville. Sermon — Dr. Pierce will preach at St. John’s Church this (Wednesday) evening on the “Polity of Methodism.” For Sale by Our Annual City Directory. We issued last year our first Directo ry of the City of Augusta. We stated then that we intended to issue 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 lasl year.’ The Directory is a most useful publication, not only to the business 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- 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.

C.—A report was current on the streets, yesterdav, to the effect that, on Monday afternoon, some two or three hundred armed negroes, from the surrounding country, marched in to Barnwell village, and behaved in a very unseemly manner—insulting and abusing *the citizens who chanced to come in their way. Several of the ne groes were arrested and disarmed. The others left the place immediately on discovering the fact that the whites were making preparations to secure them all. It is said there would have been no little blood shed, had not the counsels of the more elderly citizens prevailed. Customs. —The receipts of customs at the ports of New York, Boston, Phil adelphia, and Baltimore, for the week ending the 25th ult., were upward of $5,80 't'O. At New Orleans, from August 13th to 18th, inclusive, the re ceipts were nearly $300,000, thus making a total of over $4,000,000 in gold for one week. The aggregate for the month at these ports will reach nearly $17,000,000.
