Ak Opcha House. —lt may be
urged by some that there are more im
portant enterpriaea awaiting out atten
tion than the building of an Optra
House. Very true. But, still tli«
building of an Opera House io Augusta
will, certainly, do much good. It will
give work to our mechanics anil labor
ers ; it will enable parties of limited
moans to invest in a profitable enter
prise ; and will be an ornament to the
city, at the same time affording a com
fortable and convenient public place of
amusement.
In Memphis a very handsome one
has heeu built; and in Atlanta, as our
readers are already aware, one is how
biing put up. TJiis latttr is being built
by a Joint Stock Association, the price of
the shares being so low, and paid for in
such installments, as to enable clerks
and working men geuerally, as well as
merchants and others, to invest. In
this way the work will be accomplished
at a comparatively trifling expeiise ta
the stockholders, and as profits accrue
dividends will be made for tbe benefit
of those stockholders.
Why cannot some of our enterprising
citizens take the matter, in hand, and
see what can be done? We feel confi
dent that the attempt will prove success
ful, if properly inaugurated, and the
institution profitable if completed.
Tbe 1 .'a ily Press. —Our esteemed
cotemporary, the Savannah Daily Ad
vtrtiser, thus alludes to our proposed
enlargement of the Press :
Enlargement. —The Augusta Press,
One of the spiciest of our exchanges, an
nounces that on the Ist of October next
it witl enlarge, by addition of matter
equal to two pagds- ; of its present size.
This will make the Press in size, as it
already is in ability, one of the most
desirable-papers in the interior. At tlie
same time, in accordance with the
wishes of numerous friends, it will he
come a subscription paper, but places
its price at the ridiculously low rate of
five dollars a year.
The l‘iess was started on the plan of
the Daily Advertiser, as a free circu
lating journal, depending upon the pat
ronage of the business men of Augusta
for its means of support. After an
experience of nearly eight months, in
which its success has fully equalled the
most sanguine expectations of its Pro
prietor, it now changes to a subscription
paper.
Our old and warm friend, Pughe, has
our best wishes for his continued suc
cess, An acquaintance of mauy years
with him, as a practical printer, all
industrious and good citizens, and a
thorough us to prophesy
for his paper a high place in journalism
in Georgia. Those of our merchants
who desire to advertise in Middle Geor
gia can find no better medium than the
Augusta Press in which to make their
business known.
The Bridges. —Our country friends
request us again to call the attention of
the County Road and Bridge Commis
sioners, to the condition of the crossing
at Turpin’s Place and Double Branches.
We understand the material for the re
pair of these bridges is at hand—why
not do the work ?
Recorder’s Court. There were
three freedinen up before the Mayor,
yesterday. One was fined $j and costs
for violating the 18th Section ; the other
two for violating the 134th Section, in
not taking out a dealer's license before
engaging in business, were fined $1 and
costs, each.
Coming South. —Brick Pomeroy, the
incomparable editor of the La Crosse
(Wis.) Democrat, contemplates taking
a tour through the South ere long.
When you do so, Brick, fail not to come
hither.
County Court. —Judge McLaws com
mitted a i.egro woman to jail yesterday,
to answer to the charge of larceny from
the house—she having stolen a silk
dress from the residence of a citixgn.
Mrs. Pughe, 190 Broad street, has
now in store a handsome and se
lected stock of Fall and Winter Dry and
Dress Goods. The ladies are particu
larly invited to call and examine them.

ly purchased for the Augusta Factory,

Boys and Charles S. Hardee, from
Savannah, on Sunday afternoon.
River News. —The flood in the river
lias subsided. The water mark shows

A Remarkable Man.— Physically as
well as mentally, President Johnson is
a most remarkable man. He has now
been absent from Washington more than
two weeks ; travelling far enough daily
to fatigue the strongest frame; making
speeches every hour or two ; meeting
thousands of people and shaking hands
with so many that it is a wonder he has
the use of his arm ; serenaded and dis
turbed by visitors at night, so that it is
impossible for him to got the requisite
rest, and yet on Tuesday last, after a
ride on the cars all day, and having
made six speeches on the route, he
seemed as fresh and vigorous when he
appeared on the stand at Willard’s
Hotel as any one near him, and deliver
ed his speech with as much vim and
unction as if lie had not performed any
labor for a month.—[ Louisville Cour.
—“Do you propose to put Ike into a
store, Mrs. Partington?” “Yes,” replied
the old lady, “I am pestiferous to know
which. Some tell me that the wholesale
trade is the best, but I believe ringtail
will be the most benefieious to him in
his present abdominal condition.”
—An alligator, about two feet in
length was discovered in a cellar, 543
Broadway, New York, recently. It was
supposed he was hatched from au egg
accidentally dropped during the recent
stay of Van Amburg’s menagerie next
door.
—“Does whistling annoy you ?” ask
ed an individual who was addicted to it,
ofliis friend.
“No,” was the reply-, “provided you
whistle the right tune.”
“What is that!” was the query.
“Over the hills and far away” was
the response, with meaning.
—Fashion's alterations tends to a
strict contraction, not expansion. We
are informed that before next autumn,
ladies “will move about in skirts made
as tight as they can conveniently walk
in.”
—Gardeuers mind their peas ; actors
mind their cues; but churchwardens, in
stead of minding their “p”s and “q”s,
very often give their attention to their
pews and keys.
—A rich lady in Nashville, a large
real estate owner, has voluntarily reduc
ed her rents 33J per cent. The usual
plan is to voluntarily increase them.
—The Boston Post says: “The gen
tleman who sent us fifteen thousand dol
lars in good wishes,” will be indignant
to learn that a butcher refused us a
quarter of mutton for them.
