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. County Court. Yesterday, Judge McLaws committed Mat. Milner (col ored) to jail, for larceny from the house. Mat. took some horse shoes from Pat. Sharkey’s house. A Fine Stock of Ladies' and Chil 1- ren’s Shoes, at low prices, just opened. Call and examine them at the “Fancy Bazaar,” 253 Broad Street. f Recorder’s Court. —There were two “Eighteenth Section” cases before the Mayor, yesterday. The parties were fined $1 and coats, each.
