LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
A.UQUBTA.. »A.»
FRIDAY MORNING SejjtJlUJlM*
The Elections.— Vermont has gon*
Republican, as usual. The present
Legislature will elect two U. 8. Sena
tors, to fill the eacancies occasioned by
the death* of Collamer and Foote.
In Vermont the Democrats expected
defeat ( they only run a ticket to keep
up the organisation in the State.
No other result could hare been
looked for in Maine than that which is
already known. The State has always
been overwhelmingly Republican.
These elections will give the Destruc
tionists the prestige of victory in the
opening of the campaign, but it is confi
dently believed that the result will not
in the least affect the more important
elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
Indiana. Pennsylvania elects a Gov
ernor, twenty-four members of Congress,
and a Legislature, which ia to elect a
U. 8. Senator.
One of the Herald 1 * correspondents,
who was not aware of Bennett's last
turn, has lately written letters from
Pennsylvania, giving a very eucour
nging account of the prospect in that
State as touching the success of the
Conservative candidates.
In Ohio there will* be Congressional
elections for nineteen The
Democrats expect to gain several Con
gressmen.
In Indiana the chances are in favor of
the Conservatives, thoughjthrough fraud
Morton carried the State in 1864 by
20,000 majority. Eleven Congressmen
and a Legislature are to be chosen. The
latter will elect a U. S. Senator.
These three States, with lowa, vote
on the 9th of October. lowa elects
State officers, Legislature, and six mem
be sos Congress.
Taxation. —The collection of the
direct tax laid by the Federal Govern
ment having been suspended, we learn,
says the Milledgeville Recorder of the
18th instant, that the Governor does not
feel authorized, by the action of the
General Assembly, to suspend the col
lection of the State Tax. To do so
would, in his opinion, be a usurpation
of power properly appertaining to the
representatives of the people. The as
sessment, we understand, will be light,
not exceeding twenty cents on the hun
dred dollars. The returns of property
subject to the ad valorem tax this year,
exceed those made in 1860 (exclusive
of slaves) but little more than twenty
millions. But for this falling off in
value of taxable property, as returned,
the assessment would have been still
lighter.
A Time for All Things. —A gentle
man who, from being very poor had be
come very wealthy, on being interro
ated as to how he had accumulated his
riches, said : “My father taught me never
-to play till my work was finished, and
never to spend money till I had earned
it. If I had but half an hour's work to
do in a day, I must do that the first
thing, and in half an hour. And after
this, I was allowed to play with much
more pleasure than if I had the thought
of an unfinished task before my mind.
I early formed the habit of doing every
thing in its time, and it soon became
perfectly easy to do so. It is to this
habit I owe my prosperity.”
There is a lesson for boys—let them
heed it.
The Daily Press, published in Au
gusta, Ga., is soon to be removed to No.
190 Broad stroet, and greatly enlarged
and improved. The Press is a good
paper, and we wish the enterprising pro
prietor, E. H. Pughe, great success.
Those in want of an Augusta Daily will
remember this sheet.— Miss Barber's
Weekly. ‘
Cotton Factory at Charleston.—
A paragraph is going the rounds of the
press to the effect that a company of
English capitalists, with a capital of
$2,000,000, are about to start an enor
mous cotton factory establishment, for
supplying European trade at Charles
ton, S. C. They design this to eclipse
all others throughout the entire sea
coast. They are backed by the wealth,
iest firms in England and France.
—Josh Billings says: “There is
only one advantage that I can see in
going to the devil, and that is the
road is easy, and you are sure to get
there.”
—Gen. W. R. Cux has been re-elected
President of the Chatham (N. C.) Itail
road Company.
