Stamps on Deeds.—To holders of, or
parties to, deeds, the records of which
were destroyed during the war, it may
be interesting to know that Commis
sioner Rollins has decided that instru
ments executed and delivered prior to
October Ist, 18611, though they may be
recorded afterwards, are not chargeable
with stamp duties.
He further decides that any instru
ments issued after the above date, with
out the proper stumps, may be presented
to the Collector by the parties, or any
persons interested, iu order to have the
requisite stamps affixed and cancelled.
Such an instrument issued at a time
when, and in a place wheoe, no Celec"
tiou District was established, may be
stamped by tho party who issued it, or
by any party having an interest therein,
A*, any time prior to January Ist, 186?.
Wheu originals are lost, the necessary
stamps may be affixed to copies duly
proven.
To odr Country Friends. —Greatly
exaggerated reports, relative to the ex
istence of cholera iu our midst, have
found circulation in the rural districts,
and the effect upon the people accus
tomed to trade in the Augusta market
has been to deter them from visiting
the city. Many of them are sacrificing
their own interests by remaining at
borne. We assure our friends that
there is no possible cause for fear; that
they will run no risk by coming here.
Not a single case of obolera has been
reported among our citizens. When it
did develop itself here, some weeks
since, the disease wag confined exclu
sively to a detachment of troops, who
were promptly removed from the city.
Banish your fears, then, country
friends, and come hither. Bring with
you whatever produce you may wish to
dispose of. Eggs, chickens, vegetables,
etc., are in good demand.
The Boys in Grey. —We see it stated
that Mr. DeFontaine, of the Columbia
South Carolinian —the gentleman who
won such distinction as an army corres
pondent, over the signature of “Person
nel”—has in press a book, entitled “The
Boys in Grey, or Life under the Stars
and Bars.”
Mr. DeFontaine wields a facile pen,
and we doubt not that his book will be
an exceedingly interesting one. It is
well, for the sake of truth and justice,
that every fact and incident relating to
the late civil war, as showing the tem
per of the South, should be put on
record, and it becomes the bounden
duty of every true Southron to help iu
the matter.
The Mills IIoCsE. — On a recent visit
to Charleston, we took up our quarters
at the Mills House, and had an excellent
opportunity of judging of its merits as
a first-class hotel. We have tried seve
ral of these institutions during our per
egrinations abroad, and therefore we
feel competent to.express an opinion on
this point. Our opinion, then, is, that
the Mills House is one ot the very
best ot its kind in the Southern Slates.
Its courteous and energetic proprietor,
Mr. Jos. Purcell, does indeed “know
how to keep a hotel.” His experience
and his urbanity eminently fit him for
the position, and make his house as de
servedly popular as it is. His assistants
are all polite and attentive, and any
guest who leaves there dissatisfied, either
with the lodgings, fare, or attentions re
ceived, must be hard, indeed, to please.
To our friends visiting Charleston we
earnestly and emphatically recommend
the Mills House as a stopping place.
Imrortant to Farmers and Cotton
Dealers. —All our cotton planters may
not be advised of the fact that cotton
in this District can be weighed and
marked by the Internal Revenue In
spector at the place where it is. It can
then be carried to any market in the
District without the tax being first
paid.
Sams in Elbert County.—On the
first Tuesday in September, two hundred
and eighty acres of land, lying in
Goshen District, Elbert county, was sold
for twenty-five dollars. A horse was
put up and brought nothiag. Readers
can divine the cause.
The Daily Press. —Our country
friends will remember that on and after
the Ist of October next, the Daily-
Press will be a Subscription paper, to
be published at Five Dollars per annum,
in advance. Send in your names.
To the Ladies. —At Mrs. Pughe's,
190 Broad Street, can be found the
latest styles of Dress Goods, Hats,
Fancy Goods, Notions, and every other
article found in a Dry Goods Store.
The First Bale. —The first bale of
new cotton received in Wetumpka, Ala.,
was sold on the 11th, at 24 cents per
pound. The bale weighed 628 pounds.
Meal, Etc^
New Advertisements. —We call at
tention to the following new advertise
meats which appear in this morning a
Press :
Fisk, nearly opposite the Post-Office,
“does up” all - kmds of painting in a
handsome manner. All who wish any
thing done in his line should make him
a visit. '
Any person having land for sale on
the line ot the Georgia Railroad, be
tween Augusta and Berzelia, can find a
purchaser by addressing “O. P.,” care
of the Daily Press.
Mrs. Tweedy invites the attention of
the ladies to her stock of fall and winder
styles of bonnets, hats, flowers, ribbons,
etc., etc. She also advertises for a good
milliner.
A parlor and two bed-rooms, on the
Sand Hills or vicinity, together with
board for a gentleman, wife and infant,
nre wanted. Address key box 72.
A meeting of the German Lutheran
Congregation will be held this evening,
at 7 o’clock.
A stray pet sheet can be recovered by
applying to Mr. J. P. Foster.
E. W. Cole, Esq., announces a change
of schedule on the Georgia Railroad, to
take effect on and after to-day, Thursday.
A fine dwelling and farm, one mile
from Hamburg bridge, is for rent. Ap
ply at 182} Broad street.
Messrs. Branch, Sons A Cos., bankers
and commission merchants, will sell ex
change on New York. Also, bills of
exchange on England, Ireland and
Scotland, and the principal cities of
Europe. Bank notes, gold and silvert
etc., bought and sold.
Williams, Covert & Cos. have in store
something to suit the ladies, consisting
of the latest novelties of the season.
Now style bonnets, hats, velvet ribbons,
flowers, and fancy goods, in great va
riety, have been received.
Death op Thos. Ryan, Esq.—Thei
Charleston Courier of yesterday says :
The death of this old and esteemed citi
zen takes away another of the few re
maining men of his age in our city who
took an active part iu, and were identi
fied with, the Florida war. Mr. Ryan
was Captain of the Irish Volunteers of
this city, who participated in every cam
paign of that memorable conflict. Few
men have been more earnest and de
voted in' their love and attachment for
the South. Asa citizen, he was plain
and unassuming in his manners, but
fearless in the expression of his opinions.
As an Alderman, he gave his vote and
influence to every measure that tended
to beautify and improve the city or en
hance its prosperity. His health had
been shattered long before he resigned
his position in the City Council, and his
appearance gave evidence that he was
not destined to remain with us much
longer. Peace to his ashes.
Turning Everything to Account.—
These are hard times, and, even with
the more fortunately circumstanced, it is
difficult to obtain a living. If the well
to-do complain of these times, what may
not the poor be allowed to say ? Times
have always been hard with them, but
these are the hardest of all. Our own
impoverished . people found it to be al
most impossible to live during.the better
days preceding the war, but now they
are more than ever embarrassed; for
let them turn their attention to whatever
they may, they meet crowds of compe
titors, and the profit of all their labor is
but a pittance. We are not of those
who believe that those who strive to
make a living often fail. Apropos , we
have lately observed on our streets
many worthy whites—mate and female—
engaged in retailing chickens, etc. By
this means they slowly, but surely, se
cure enough to live on from day to day.
Attemut to Assassinate Napoleon.
A strange rumor comes from Rome to
the effect that a conspiracy to poison
the Emperor of the French at Vichy
was discovered before he left that place.
The poison was to have been adminis
tered -in a potion which the Emperor
was accustomed to drink after his hath.
It is asserted that a man named Valen
tine was to have carried this design into
effect, but when it was discovered,
through a warning letter sent by one of
the conspirators in Rome to the Em
peror, Valentine committed suicide.
Revival.— Weare pleased to learn that
a glorious revival has been progressing
for the past ten days at Bethesda (Meth.
odist Episcopal) Church, in the Poor
House district, in this county, under the
charge of Rev. John A. Reynolds. Over
sixty persons have been added to the
Church.
The rapid accumulation of gold in
the Treasury will, if continued, soon
afford a melalic basis for the Treasury
notes in circulation. It is estimated
that, by the end of the month, the
Treasury will have nearly, if not quite,
one hundred millions in gold.
For Sale by
Horse Thieves Discovered. —On
the 19th day of March last, three horses
were stolen from the stable of Middleton
Scago, Esq., in this county. One of the
horses was shortly afterwards obtained
near Hawkinsville, from a man to whom
he had been sokl. Recent information
has been received that two men, Moses
Quick and Elias Garis, were "confined in
Albany, Gi, jail, on charge of horse
stealing. Two of the horses stolen from
Mr. Seago were found in their possession.
A warrant was issued for them yester
day, and they will be, probably, tried
before October term Richmond court.
Robbery. —On Wednesday afternoon,
the house of Mr. Davis, who resides in
the lower part of Greene Street, was
robbed of a lot of clothing and other
valuables. The theft is supposed to
have been committed by a negro woman,
whom Mrs. Davis, in going out visiting,
had left on the premises.

McLaws committed Mat. Milner (col
ored) to jail, for larceny from the house.
