E. 11. PUGHE, Publisher Daily Press, 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. White Corn 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. Special Notices.
