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.

C., Robert Wilson ; Mem phis, Tenn., J. B. Hutton; Houston, Texas, 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 : AUGUSTA FACTORY.

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.
