TuMßaker’s Pauadisk.—Dropmore. Rail grades. 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.

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.
