€'Jk Bailn |)rrss. City Printer—Official Paper LARGEST CItV('IRCULATION. FRIDAY MORNING Sept. 14. 186* There’s Work Enough to Do. The black-bird early leaves his nost To meet the smiling morn, And gather fragments for its nest From upland, wood, and lawn ; The busy boe that wings its way ’Mid sweets of varied hue, At ev'ry flower would seem to say— “ There’s work enough to do/* The cowslip and the spreading vino, The daisy in the grass, The snow-drop and the eglantine, Preach sermons as we pass. The ant, within the cavern deep, Who would bid us labor, too, writes upon its tiny heap— “ There’s work enough to do.” To have a heart for those who weep, The sottish drunkard win ; To rescue all the children, deep In ignorance and sin ; To help the poor, the hungry food, To give him coat and shoe, To see that all can write and read, “Is work enough to do.” The time is short—the world is wide, " And much has to be done ; The wondrous earth, and all its pride, Will vanish with the sun ! The moments fly on lightning wings, And life’s uncertain, too ; We’ve none to waste on foolish things, “ There’s work enough to do.” The planets, at their Maker’s will, Move onward in their cars, For Nature’s wheel is never still, Progressive as the stars ! The leaves that flutter in the air, And summer’s breezes woo, One solemn truth to man declare “There’s work enough to do.” Who, thon, can sleep whon all around Is active, fresh, and free ? Shall Man—creation’s lord—be found Less busy than the bee? Our courts and alleys aro the field, If men would search them through, That best the sweets of labor yield, And “ work enough to do.” Rail Road Schedules. Change of Schedule on Georgia Bail Road.

VEGETABLE jEfelP AIN Killer. .We beg to call the attention of the pub lic to this long tested and unrivalled FAMILY MEDICINE. The PAIN KILLER is a purely vegeta ble compound; and while it is a most o - cient Remedy for Pain, it is a perfectly safe Medicine even in the most unskillful hands. FOR SUMMER COMPLAINT, Or any other form of bowel disease in chil dren or adults, it is an almost certain cure, and has, without doubt, been more success ful io curing the various kinds of CHOLERA than any other known remedy, or even the most skillful physician. In India, Africa and China, where this dreadful disease is ever more or less prevalent, the PAIN KILLER is considered by the natives, as well as Eu ropean residents in those climates, a SURE REMEDY. Asa Tonic for the Stomach, it is unrivalled. A few doses will relieve se vere cases of INDIGESTION, and it is often a perfect cure for DYSPEPSIA, in its most aggravated forms. Its tonic and stimulating properties, arousing the system to vigor and action, render it a most effec tual cure for COLDS AND COUGHS, when used according to directions. For external applications, it is unsur passed by any medical preparation. Rheumatism and Neuralgic Affections are quickly relieved and often cured by it. Any Soreness in the Muscles or Joints can be relieved by its application. It cures in stantly the most violent TOOTHACHE. It should always be kept near at hand, to be used in cases of severe BURNS or SCALDS. If applied immediately, accord ing to directions, if will give instant relief, and prevent blistering. It is peculiarly adapted to the wants of SEAMEN, and persons making sea voy ages, and no vessel should sail without a supply of it. One Captain writes us: “I have made several voyages—often with emi grants, and though I keep a good Medicine Chest, and I have several times had a good deal of sickness on board, I have found tho RAIN KILLER so efficient in all cases, as to entirely preclude the use of all other Medicines.” Prices—2s Cents, 50 Cents, and $1 per Bottle.

This institution has been paying, for the past year, fifteen cents on tho dollar for the Certificates of Deposit which it issued during the war in exchange for Confcdorato money. This per centage has been paid on the recommendation of a committee, composed of Dr. Joseph Milli gan, Josiah Sibley, Esq., and W. J. Owens, Esq., three disinterestedcitizensof Augusta, of high character and position, who exam ined and valued all tho assets of tho Bank. This valuation did not amount to fifteen per cent, of onr circulation, but the com mittee estimated that wo might bo ablo to pay this per centage on the supposition that many of tho bills had been lost or de stroyed. Since their examination, all the Exchange, Coin, Bullion, Bank Bills, Bonds, Stocks, Coupons, Cotton and Merchandise held by the Bank have been sold. Some of these have proved to bo less valuable than the estimate of the committee, and some more; but on the whole an advanee of nearly twenty per cent, has been realizod; so that the Bank will bo able to pay eighteen cents in the dollar for its change bills, unless the number destroyed shall be fouud to bo smaller than anticipated. No larger per centage than this can be paid hereafter, as we have nothing now to ap preciate. r We have recently investigated the amount received by the Bank for its Certificates, counting the Confederate money at its value when received, and find that it was less than eighteen cents in the dollar; so that this Bank will pay hereafter not inly to its depositors, but to its bill holders, the full amount received.
