. <r(!t BailH snjs. jity Printer-Official Paper 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. PRIME Special Notices.
