H,y Fight.—The latest and most amusement about Augusta, is fly fighting. The modus is as follows: A couple of ‘ splinters arc prepared and in pieces of cork, so as to stand with the sharp points up. A v-BHple of house flies are then caught impaled upon these points close to )*HUier, with their heads up. A couple straws or brush hairs are pro- and a tiny piece of cork attached end of each. These represent which are placed in the hands flies, whereupon a regular fi-ncing . takes place, until, from exhaus |M or some other cause, the swords are by the belligerents. It will be that thi3 is a very rational and affords a great deal ot to the bystanders. But it must be unpleasant to the little insects, they have said nothing as yet the subject, so far as we have We can't recommend any- that is cruel, and therefore we advise any one to indulge in this business. We only mention one of the latest popular amuse- Hints at present engaging the attention our people. If the flies desire to pro ■t against it, our columns are open to of E. Wii.mot Wai.tkr, Esq.— some days past we have heard of Mb extreme illness of E. Wilinot Wal- K, Esq., and this morning we are called -■Bon to discharge the truly melancholy of enrolling his name on the list of |» estimable citizens who have been to render an account of their stewardship.

He Blow resting after long years of toil. "Vp tender our condolence to his family in their bereavement. — Charleston C'ou- SeptUJh. WSPnnTivn.—The painters seem to have to do just now. Indeed, many have elapsed since There was so house painting going on in our ■Bored city. On every hand we bear exclamation : “hard times !” yet one IBuld suppose, ia passing through our and observing the gay dress of A citizens, and the strenuous efforts ■w are making to put their houses in | order, that Augustans are not Sell embarrassed thereby. Ihe pro, K U are, that Augusta will present a BK re than ordinarily fine appearance, 'Efr„B Wholk Batch— Our readers will that a short time ago the of Mr. Z.

It class. _ Hikcisc.—This fashionable and accomplishment is taught by IHStrawinski nt Masonic Hall, t K all grades. Somethtxo ws ai.i. OCbm to Know. Tho Treasury Department will not re cognize ns of full value torn greenbacks. If any part of a bill is lost, a discount is made in proportion to the missing por tion. Take for an example : one fourth of a fifty dollar greenback is torn off, the value of the note is worth $37.50. The uatnes of the signers may be legibly written upon the face of a bill, but that will not avail anything if a portion of the note is lost. There may be a rea son, and il is probably a good one, why this difference is made, but we cannot see the necessity of it. Take Your Skat. —Not very many months have been numbered with the past, since a certain School teacher was questioning his scholars upon Scrip tural history, on which occasion he in terrupted a little urchin as follows : “How long were the children of Israel in the Wilderness?” “Ufftil they found their way out,” responded the youth. “What calamity hefel Nebuchadnez zar for his wickedness.” “He was obliged to turn Grahamite, and live on vegetables. Teacher—“You may take your seat.” Honors to the Dead.—A number of the ladies of Marietta, Gn., have or ganized a Memorial Association for the purpose of ornamenting the graves of the patriotic soldiers whose remains lie in the Confederate Cemetery, near that place, and for collecting the bones ol those who fell on the various battle fields in that vicinity. The Memorial Association appeals to their generous friends at a distance, and asks them for contributions to assist in forwarding to completion so com mendable an enterprise. Moonlight.— We are having beauti ful moonlight nights now, and many are those who enjoy them. As Miss Barber says, the moonlight is sleeping upon the hill and Hooding the vallies—weird, white, beautiful moonlight. Lovers are abroad in it, whispering their vows of eternal constancy, and the night bird seems inspired by it to pour forth a richer and faller tide of melody. The poets from time immemorial have sang of it, and everything, animate aud inan imate, seems to love to bask in it. Joke on a Georgia Girl.—A senti mental young lady in Northern Geor gia, indited the lollowing to some of her admirers in the “ Kidgament” : “ ’Tis hard for yonans to sleep in camp, 'Tis hard for yonans to fight, ’Tis hard for youuus through snow to tramp, In snow to sleep at night. But harder for yonans and weans to part, Since you have stolen weans’ heart.” Not Dry. —An artist invited a gentleman to criticise a portrait he had painted of a Mr. Smith, who was given to drink. Putting his hand toward it, the artist exclaimed : “Dou't touch it— it is not dry.” “Then,” said he “it can not be like my friend Smith.” County Court Closed in Burke.— Heman H. Perry, Judge of the County Court of Burke, gives notice through the columns of the Waynesboro Times, of the 22d inst., that the said Court is elosed, and its operations suspended sine die. Cause—conflict between the civil and military authorities. M. Cohen has in store a very fine stock of goods, consisting partly of hand-made Boots and Shoes; Red Shoes, for children, perfect beauties ; and red top, with patent leather bot tom, Boots, for small boys j and every variety of shoes for Ladies, just received, which he wishes to dispose of cheap. Also, HaU and Caps, of the latest style. Call and look at his stock at No. 182 J Broad Street, opposite the Southern Ex press office. f Newspaper Change.— Mr. A. F. Crutchfield has sold out his proprietary interest in the Petersburg (Va.) Ex press, to Messrs. Oakley P. Haines and Wm. Campbell. The Express is a cap ital journal, and deserves success. Beast Butler.— The Vicksburg Her ald advocates the election of Beast But ler to Congress, for the reason that many Southern members, who have crows to pick with him, would be glad of an op portunity to meet him. Israelitish Schools.— The Israel ites of Baltimore have been holding meetings to take into consideration the establishment of schools for the better education of the children of that faith. The State Tax.— Comptroller Gen eral John T. Burns has announced that the State Tax has been fixed at one sixth of one per cent. Amende Honorable. — The United States have made an amende honorable to the Brazilian Government for the seizure of the Confederate steamer Flo rida at the port of Bahia. MEAL, Etc: The True Course to Pursue.— A young friend, who lives near Mcßcan depot, informs us that the young men in that neighborhood have determined to seek their fortunes where their fathers won theirs—in cultivating the fields in stead of moviug to town with the inten tion of becoming “counter clerks.” The majority of these youug gentlemen have been working hard during the past spriug and summer; and they are now receiving the fruits of their labors. Some of them anticipate a pretty fair cotton crop this year; of corn they do not com plain. Next year they expect to go largely in for making ootton, corn, peas, etc., and to that end many of them have already rented tracts of land adjoining theirs. That is the course to pursue. Don't venture with your money, if you can rent, on shares of the crop. Stay in the country where you are, and work out your own salvation on that line. Contract With Them. —Our plant ing friends would do well to cast about them now for laborers for the ensuing year. Search out the most reliable and quiet among the freedmen, and contract with them at once. Let tho terms be fair. It is hoped that the lessons of the year now almost at an end, will not be lost upon fanners or laborers. Lars’e numbers of the blacks have realized the ill-success attendant upon an at tempt to live without work, and we be lieve that the majority of them will be more disposed to work as they ought to this year, than they were last. Frank Leslie’s Magazine. —We are indebted to our enterprising friend, Quinn, of the Literary Depot over the way, for a copy ot the October number of Frank Ijeslie's Magazine. It is re plete with interesting reading matter, fashion plates, and pictures. Mr. Quinn has also Demorest's Ladies' Magazine for October—a handsome and popular monthly. All the latest publications cau be had at Quinn’s. River News. —The river stands six feet four inches at the bridge. The Ex press arrived from quarantine grounds yesterday. The Hard Times is still at the wharf. Fancy Bazaar. —The attractions of fered at Buehler’B Fancy Bazaar con tinue unabated. Bargains can be had there, and the public consequently go there to purchase goods. f Arrested. —A negro woman, who made a raid on * variety store down town, and stole therefrom two or more hats, yesterday, was shortly afterward arrested by the Police. Committed. —A cushite was com mitted to jail yesterday, to await trial at the next term of the County Court, on the charges of assault and battery, and larceny from the house. ■ New Advertisements. —We call at tention to the following new advertise ments, which appear in this morning’s Press : A house, containing four or five rooms, is wanted to rent.
