Augusta, (la.
Jftt~ Our country mtcmporarics will con
fer a favor by giving tho above a few inser
tions.
The War Spirit Still on the
Rampage.
It seems very difficult for the war
feeling throughout the world to become
again quieted. In our own country the
Radicals still breathe vengeance against
the subjugated and ruined South, and
even arouse the mob spirit against tho
President and the Conservatives of tha
North. In South America, the Allies
and the Paraguayans continue the war
with varying success. In England there
are riots; in Candia there is revolution;
in Liberia revolt; in ‘Fenian Circles"
threats of another Canadian war: while
in Europe "the prospects are that the
conflict of arms will shortly be renewed.
Austria—so the dispatches say—shows
bad faith towards Italy, and makes un
measurable demands in regard to the
debts of Venctia, to which Italy will not
submit. Prussia, proud and defiant,
because of her recent victories, emphati
cally notifies Austria that she will not
sntrer her ally, Italy, to be defrauded
and insulted. And so the preparations
for peace are stopped, and preparations
for war renewed.
Thus it will be seen that the sangui
nary sacrifices of the past five years,
both in America and Europe, have not
appeased the great war spirit. The bad
passions of men have been terribly
aroused, and will not be appeased.
The cry is for blood—more blood—
‘‘blood, sago, blood !" And when it w ill
all stop, and the blessed Angel of
Peace spread its wings over the world,
are events locked up in the great womb
o. the future.
No Other Settlement for the
South.
The New York Herald, in a recent
article, argues that there is no other
settlement for the South but the adop
tion of the Constitutional Amendment
by the several States, and recommends
that the Governments thereof convene
their Legislatures at once and ratify it,
so that, with the December meeting of
Congress, the ssid States may he all
restored to both Houses. The llerald
asserts that this Amendment applies to
the Northern as well as the Southern
States ; and concludes as follows:
What has been done in the case of
Tennessee amounts to the adoption of
a rule of admission. The way rs plain,
the door is open, and in this simple act
of ratification the South will be restored
to its balance of power. It is the ulti
matum of tho victorious North, and the
South will lose much and gain nothing
by delay in its adoption.
Our own opinion is that we had bet
ter not be too precipitate in taking any
action, which may be eventually forced
upon us; and that we had better wait
patiently until the Fall elections are
completed. The South will then be
better able to judge of what is neces
sary to be done.
The Financial Future.—Tt is sup
posed that we are rapidly tending to a
resumption of specie payment, on the
part of the Government. There are
now over sixty millions dollars in the
Treasury vaults—to say nothing of
private deposits. At twelve millions
per month, seven months will add to
this' sum eighty-four millions; so that
by the Ist of April next, there will be
in the Treasury one hundred and forty
four millions dollars, less the payments
to Vie made in the meantime. Esti
mating these, for half a year's gold in
terest, and for payment of the principle
of the bonds of IHGT, due next January,
at forty-five milliotis, there will remain
on the Ist of April, one hundred mil
lions.
PRIME
The Riatori Excitement.
Telegraphic dispatches from New
York announce that the Ristori excite
meat in that city has reached a high
point, and that tfckets are selling by
speculators at from sls to S2O premium I
Madame Kistori is au Italian lady—a
distinguished tragedienne—a rival of the
great Rachel. She, with her company,
present a number of tragedies,including
Medea and Macbeth, in Italian and
French. For each play there ia a
libretto similar to that of an Italian or
French Opera, in which are contained
the Italian or French words, with au
English translation.
To the student of modern languages,
these performances will be very interest
ing ; and, perhaps, even to those un
learned in the languages of the play—
as showing the elocutionary and emo"
tional powers of the distinguished ac
tress. But we do not believe that,
should she favor Augusta with a visit:
she will be able to produce such a
furore os New York and Boston get up;
though we could promise her, we think,
a warm welcome and a liberal patronage
at the hands of an appreciative com
munity.
Tub Partheniax.— The July num
ber of the Fartheniaa, a young lady’s
magaziue, published by the pupils of
flic Baltimore Female College, is before
ns. It contains a biographical sketch
of General Samuel Smith, with en
graving, by Prof. N. C. Brookes, the
President of the College; Salutatory
Address by Miss Leonora Kimbrough,
of Georgia; Valedictory Address by
Miss Effie M. Hoffman, of Baltimore
City; and some twenty-six additional
and highly respectable effusions on
various subjects.
It was with peculiar pleasure that
we perused and re-perused Miss Kim
brough's inaugural thesis, and we feel
no possible hesitancy in pronouncing it
to be }>ar excellent. Columbus—her
native city—and Baltimore Female Col
lege—her alma mater —may well be
proud of Miss Kimbrough. Uie degree
of “Mistress of English Literature,” w-as
conferred on the Georgia graduate.
In the Sophomore Class, Miss Emma
M. Hand, of Americus, was awarded a
silver medal for excellence in Latin.
This Class now becomes the Junior,
and we notice on the roll of its mem
bers, the names of Miss Bcttie O. Price,
of Americns, and Miss Julia Montgom
ery, of Ellaville. We trust they may
all sustain, and also add to, the reputa
tion of the Empire State, on the occa
sion of their graduation.
Proposal to Unite the Protestant
Episcopal Churches of Europe and
America.—ln an interesting letter to
the Richmond (Va.) Christian Advo
cate, written from England by Rev.
John Bayley, the annexed paragraph
appears:
At a late convocation of the Province
of Canterbury a communication was re
ceived from the House of Bishops of the
Protestant Episcopal Cliurdh in Amer
ica, concerning which the eloquent
Bishop of Oxford said it would be im
possible for that House to receive such
communication without deep thankful
ness. lie thought that everything
should be done to strengthen the bonds
of Union between the Church of Eng
land and her daughter in America; and
after a lengthened discussion it was de
cided that four of the Bishops should
he appointed to draw up a fitting an
swer to the communication. This an
swer I have not seen, hut I am persuad
ed that it could not lail to be one calcu
lated to promote feelings between the
two churches, and so to advance the in
terests of Loth countries.
Nominated for Congress.—Hon.
George 11. Pendleton lias beeu unani
mously renominated for Congress by
the Democrats of the First Ohio Dis
trict. This is the sixth time Mr. Pen
dleton has been thus honored. For the
good of the country and the sake of
justice, we devoutly hope that he may
be triumphantly elected ; for no more,
able, no more true man ever raised his
voice in defense of the Constitution
in its pristine purity than George 11.
Pendleton, of Oh io.
—Mrs. Porch, living in the mountains
of East Tennessee, is perhaps the oldest
woman in America. Her age is one
hundred and twenty one years. Al
though entirely blind, she is hale and
hearty, and walks without assistance.
Her mind is not impaired to any great
extent, and many of the most stirring
anil thrilling events of the Revolution are
still fresh in her memory, and are dis
cussed with an accuracy as to date and
memory which are truly remarkable.
—The people of Egypt, who are very
much troubled by the swarms of locusts
infesting that country, have discovered
that anew and easy way of getting
rid of them is to eat them. They are
becoming one of the most fashionable
Egyptian dishes.

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 ourcitiaens, and will,
we hope, be received with the same cour
tesy and attention m they were last
year. The Directory is a most useful
publication, uot only to the business
men of this community, but of other
cities with which Augusta has dealiugs.
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 oue 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.

Making the Hands White. — In
order to preserve the bands, soft and
white, they should always be washed
in warm water with fine soap, and care
fully dried with a moderately coarse
towel, being well rubbed every time to
insure a brisk circulation, than which
nothing can be more effectual in pro
moting a transparent and soft appear
ance. Almond paste is of essential use
in preserving the delicacy of the hands.
It is made thus : Blanch and beat up
four ounces of bitter almonds; add to
them three ounces of lemon juice, three
ounces of almond oil, and a little spirits
of wine. The following is ft serviceable
pomade for rubbing the hands on re
tiring to rest: Take two ounces of
sweet almonds, beat with three drachms
of white wax, and three drachms sperm
aceti ; put up carefully in rose water.
—A hard-shell Baptist preached in
Washington city lately, and took for his
text: “God made man in his own
image.” He thus commenced: “An
honest man is the noblest work of God.”
Then he made a long pause and looked
searchingly about the audience, and
then exclaimed: “But God Almighty
hasn’t had a job in this city for nigh on
to fifty years.”
—A petition is being circulated
among, and very generally signed by,
the people of the lower counties of
Maryland, soliciting the pardon of Doc
tor Mudd, convicted by the military
commission of complicity in the assas
sination of President Lincoln. This
petition will, it is understood, be present
ed to the President upon his return
from Chicago.
