As Erroxeous Impression.—An im
pression has got abroad in the city, that
licenses can bu taken out for a quarter
of the year, or that they cau be paid
for quarterly. This is an error : the Or
dinance recently passed by Council de
clares that, licenses may, after the first
quarter, be taken out for the vnexpired
portion of the year, and that any part
of a quarter shall be counted as a whole
quarter. So that licenses will have to
be taken out now for the whole year.
For tho information of our readers
we give the prices of city licenses which
are taken out on-the first of October.

Mr. Milledge is a young lawyer
whose affable manners and talents

in tho world’s history. Drawn from
original sources, aud approved by tho
most distinguished Confederate Loaders,

of the Richmond Examiuer during the
war; witii numerous splendid steel por
traits. Sold only by subscription. New

J. F. Fuller. 1806.
A full, correct and impartial history of
the late struggle for Southern Inde
pendence is what is needed, not only
for present reading, but for future refer
ence. The work before us fills the bill
in two ofThese particulars, but does not
in the other. It is, indeed, full, aud so
far as the record of facts is concerned)
correct. Commencing with the political
history of the Union from the time of
the disruption of the ties which bound
the American Colonies to the Mother
Country, the author gradually and agree
ably leads the reader down, through
succeeding periods, to the commence
ment of the Second Revolution, when a
new nation, Minerva-like, sprang com
pletely armed from the brow of the
United States Jupiter, and claimed its
place among the nations of the earth.
It is in this prelude to the real subject
matter of tho work that we find cause
of complaint. The author is a Virgi
nian and a States Rights man of the
strict construction school, and he per
mits his State and political prejudices
to bias bis pen, too much—looking up
on all political leaders who differ with
him as demagogues, and finding fault
with Mr. Davis and denouncing Mr.
S’ephens. An advocate of Democracy
and States Rights ourself, wo yet always
had charity enough to believe that
others who differed with us were as honest
ns we ; and we believe that this charity
should be the practice of all, but more
particularly of the historian.
with Mr. Pollard’s work is, in our judg
incut, a serious one ; but not sufficient
to lessen its value for the historical facts
which it records, and the interest creat
ed by the pleasant and fascinating style
in which it is written.
It is tho only standard history of
the late war, and should be in the hands
of ail who desire to procure a full and
correct record of that ever memorable
and bloody struggle. There arc, it is
true, Northern publications on the same
subject; but they are one-sided affairs,
giving only the Northern view ol events
as they occurred, alluding to the South
erners as Rebels, and doing our section
only injustice. Mr. Pollard’s history is
a remedy for this evil; and if it were
not for its State and political partisan
ship, we should pronounce it a perfect
work. Justice requires that we should
notice its defects as well as its merits; but
in doing so we hope that wc shall not
deter any one from procuring and read
ing it. With Mr. Pollard’s political
views the reader is at liberty to differ
or to agree, as ho thinks fit, and these
lie eau pass over; for otherwise the work
is, as we have said, interesting and val
uable. Its style is captivating, and its
dramatic effect most excellent, while its
statements of facts are correct and in
disputable, and its portraits of distin
guished Confederates a pleasing feature.
To all, therefore, who desire a standard
history of the. War for Southern Inde
pendence, wo have no hesitation in re
commending “The Lost Cause.” It is
sold only by subscription, at $5.00,
$6.00, and SB.OO, according to binding:
and can be obtained at the Literary
Depot of Mr. 51. Markey, at tho Library
Rooms, Mclntosh Street.
Mr. Markey has all the latest publica
tions, and a variety of interesting read
ing, to which we invite the attention of
our citizens. Courteous and attentive,
he will be always pleased to serve them
with anything in his line; and if they
wish an)' publication not in bis estab
lishment be will promptly order it lor
them.
Revival. St. John’s Methodist
Church was crowded last Sabbath
morning and night, and the strict at
tention given by the congregation to
the Preacher, induced tho fact that no
little ’interest was felt by them in his
theme. The Pastor has determined to
preach every evening during the week,
commencing at 7.1 o’clock. lie staled
on Sunday night that he had written
to some of his ministerial brethren, in
neighboring cities, inviting them to
come and assist him. They reply that
they would be happy so to do, but that
revivals are in progress in their Church
es, which hinder them.
Who Jack Hamilton is.— Searching
in an old file of newspapers, reveals the
fact that Jack Hamilton, who is now on
a rampage through the North, in com
pany with Tennessee's curse—Brown
low —once presided over a meeting of
Texans at Austin, which adopted reso
lutions thanking the lamented Preston
S. Brookes, ot the Palmetto State, for
caning Sumner, and ordering him to
be presented with a cane of the toughest
wood that grew in Texas, which with
manifest proprietry, should be applied
with the full force of a stout Southern
arm upon the backs of our hypocritical
aud slanderous enemies.
The Fire at Summerville. —ln our
last issue, mention was made of the fire
that occurred at Summerville, ou Thurs
day morning last. On that occasion
efficient and valuable aid was rendered
by Col. Flagler andjthe U. S. troops un
der his command. It was through their
kind instrumentality that tho residence
of Judge Starnes was saved from burn
ing. Great credit is duo the Colonel
and his companions in arms for their
efforts to arrest the progress of the
Statistics of Augusta.
Under this head we propose pub
lishing, from official records and other
sources, a series of statistics connected
with the growth, prosperity, and indus
trial pursuits of our city and its vicinity )
which will be useful and interesting,
both for reference and preservation. In
the present issue we publish a list of
Manufactories and Flour Mills on the
Augusta Canal, from a report made by
the courteous and energetic Engineer of
that work, Mr. Win. Phillips. It will
give our readers some idea of the char
acter and extent of manufacturing in
this city. There are other enterprises
not located onjthe Canal, statistics and
•particulars of which we should be pdeased
to give in another issue. It the obliging
p{ojeciors and owners of manufacturing
establishments, foundries, etc., will fur
nish us with such information as the
following, as brief 1 )’ stated as possible:
viz:
1. Character and extent of the enter
prise ;
2. Number of operatives employed ;
3. Motive power used ;
4 Amount or value of annual pro
ducts, and such other information as
they may deem ot public interest, we
shall cheerfully add them to the list.
The publication of such enterprises must
do good to the city and to the parties
engaged in them ; and we earnestly hope
that they will not fail to comply with our
reasonable request.
slr. Phillips states in the following re.
port, that ou tho 15th of March, 1845,
“An Ordinance to .provide for the con
struction of a canal for manufacturing
purposes, and for the better securing an
abundant supply of water for the city,”
was passed ; and the following statement
will show wliat has been accomplished :

To Oust Country Friends,— We
shall ho pleased to receive communica
tions from our country friends in regard
to crops and other local subjects of gen
eral interest. Such will always be
thankfully received.
The Opera.—ln all the refined com
munities of the old world, the Opera is
pre-eminent. It i* admired and patron
ized by all who have any musical taste,
and is the principal source of amuse
ment for the intelligent and educated
people. In this country we have bad
but few opportunities for acquiring a
taste for classic music, aud hence we
find comparatively few who really ad
Opera. Os late years, however,
these opportunities have been increased,
and we are sure that we have in Au
gusta musical taste and talent which
will prove more and moro encouraging
to the appearance of Opera Troupe in
our midst.
The Opera was well attended last sea
son, and generally admired. This sea
son the same troupe, with some new ar
tists arid an increased chorus, will again
appear before our public. Madame
Ghioni aud Sig. Susini’s Troupe, as will
be seen by the advertisement in another
column, will open a very brief season
at Concert Hall} on Thursday evening
next, with the grand opera of Norma.
This will be followed on Friday evening
by the new comic opera, written by the
Ricov. Brothers, entitled Crispino yla
Comare (the Cobbler and the Fairy),
full of lively music; and on Saturday
evening, Lucretia Borgia, the general
favorite, will be given.
We regret that tho Company’s stay
is so short; still our music-loving citi
zens will have an opportunity of enjoy
ing themselves in listening to a capital
company while they do stay.
We clip the following-from the Rich
raond Whig, of Friday, September 28th :
“The opera of II Trovatore was bril
liantly rendered on Wednesday night.
It is not extravagant to say that the se
lect, cultivated and large audience was
electrified. We missed—all missed, the
magnificent Susini, whoso stately pres
ence and surprising gifts of genius
mark him as one, once seen and heard,
ever to be remembered. We also miss
ed tho fascinating aud accomplished
Prima Donna Canissa ; nor did we have
the pleasure of seeing the talented Ar
davani, who looks” as much the gentle
man as he is the accomplished artist.
But then we had M’me Ghioni in all
her power; M’me Strakoscii, whose rare
genius, perfect acting and charming
voice, never fail to leave a profound im
pression ; Matrn, (at last), with his ele
gant figure aud superb voice; Coletti.
who, the preceding night, acted rihl
sang in such a manner as to achieve a
high reputation, if he had not already
done so ; and last but not least, the in
imitable Irfre 1 It is impossible by mere
words to give an idea of tho overpower
ing, almost intoxicating, effect of his
thrilling voice. In the third act it rang
like a trumpet; all through the pieee it
asserted its power over every heart. He
was encored, aud still encored. Ho liter
ally took the house by storm. The
whole opera passed off like a dream of
rapture.
The Fall Trade. —Very many cir
cumstances combined to make trade un
usually vdull, during the summer just
closed. Those who have not beeu labor
ing under great pecuniary embarrass
ments, are few indeed. All have strug
gled on, however, hoping that out of an
exceedingly unpropitions future, some
good might arise. The faith of our
merchants in the old saying: Judge
of the future by the past, seems not to
have diminished aught; for they have
been hard at work preparing for the Fall
trade, lucre is hardly a business house
in the city, that has not, iu some man
ner, been repaired. Our citizens arc
rising superior to the antiquated notions
of the “long ago,” and, instead of being
content with store-rooms, no matter how
miserably looking, they give more a'ten
tion to appearances, and vie with each
other in keeping nice, tidy establish
ments. Our merchants are alive to the
"gioat truth that display, in these latter
days, wields an influence in the business
world almost equal to that which it
aheds in the social. In acknowledge
ment of this truth, they are prompt to
advertise, both through the newspapers
ot the day, and by means of placards
and the exhibitions of goods at their
respective places of business. At the
present writing these advertisements are
well displayed—witness the appearance
of our most enterprising houses. Our
grocery, dry) goods, millinery, drug,
hardware, boot and shoe, and other
establishments of the line, are, or in a
few days will be, heavily stocked with all
desirable articles. Our merchants have
made such arrangements as will allow
them to supply country dealers with
goods at figures very little above those
quoted iu the Northern or Western
markets. Merchants in the country ad
jacent to aud surrounding Augusta,
would do well to pay our city a visit be
fore going to other markets to make
purchases. Augusta’s wholesale and
retail dealers will do cleverly by all such,
vide the advertisements iu the Daily
Press of to day.
Facts Speak Louder than Words.
—One of the most popular business
houses in this place (and well deserving
of patronage) is the Fancy Bazaar, No.
25J Broad street. The store, though
small, is one of the neatest and best
arranged, while their assortment- is
•equal, and wo believe their business
transactions not far behind any of the
largest houses iu the city. Goods are
constantly arriving for the house, and
the proprietor, an excellent judge of
goods, manages always to suit his cus
tomers in quality and prices. For Dry
Goods, Noiions, Fancy (mods, Clothing,
Mats, Boots and Shoes, we advise our
friends to go to the Fancy Bazaar, and
we feel assured they will be w ell suited.f
Tiiynks. —l)r. Dennis lias onr thanks
for a bottle of his deservedly renowned
Sarsaparilla, which we can conscien
tiously recommend as a groat prevenla
tiyc ot sickness, and excellent purifier
of the blood.
Thanks.— We acknowledge tl^H
ceipt of a bottle of Heidsick, just
kind to make those who imbibe it
at “hide and seek,” with zest. The i
well known and popular firm of O’Dowd
A Mulherin have placed us under obliga
tions for that splendid liquid, and will
please accept our thanks for their kind
remembrance of the Daily Press. In
their new store, at Maude & WrigF,
old stand, they will gain increased popu
larity aud an immense trade.
Savannah Advertiser Price Cur
rent. —We are in receipt of the Savan
nah Advertiser's Price Current for Sep
tember 28th. It is an admirably gotten
up list, and for those of our merchants
who are desirous of keeping themselves
posted on the state of the Savannah
market, is a desirable document. Messrs.
E. O. Withirigton & Cos. are the pub
lishers.
A Sliout Mistake. —A lady in La
fayette, Indiana, recently, in preparing
her Sunday dinner put some beans
in a pot to bake. In a hurry to get to
church, she inadvertently put her hymn
book in the pot, and wrapped a piece of
pork in her pocket handkerchief and
took it to church with her. Her morti
fication was intense upon discovering
her mistake during service ; so was her
husband's at the singular pious composi
tion of his repast
From Barnwell District. —Rumor
had it a week or ten days since that
there had recently been born in Barn
well District, S. C.j upward of fifty nino
babies—all “fine boys,” except one.
That was, perhaps, an exaggerated re
port. We ‘are credibly informed, how
ever, that the nurrtber is thirty two—all
boys, save one.
Chance Editorial. —The Abbevillo
Banner, a live weekly, published at
Abbevillo, S. C., has changed hands.
The former proprietor and editor, Mr.
James S. Cothran, says, in retiring, that
the retrospect is so full of blasted hopes,
perfidious promises, delusions, pain,
anxiety, trouble, that he shrinks from
bolding it to view. Messrs. M. M. and
W. W. Farrow are the proprietors now.
Ratification Mektings.—Meetings
for rhe purpose of ratifying tho action
of the Philadelphia Convention of Au
gust 14th, are being held throughout
this State. They are represented as
being largely attended. Resolutions
supporting the President meet with en
thusiastic approval. ,
Ova Advertising Columns.—A
glance at our advertising columns thi3
morning will explain the meagre amount
of reading, matter in this issue of our
paper. W§ shall make up for it in our
n ext. In the meantime, we refer to the
several sd ertismeuts, which are of
general interest in themselves. Do not
fail to read them.
