I*. >*«• Angtuta Aflbire. “ Nabob," the August* correspondent of the Louisville (Kt ) Omtrirr , in a late letter to that journal say*: “Tha good citixena of August* are trying to get up a at reel railroad. Sub scription books hare been opened, and the worthy Superintendent of the Geor gia Railroad, Col. E. W, Cole, ia the President. But where ia the money to come from ? Money can be loaned here today on good security at five per ceuU a month. We also talk of builJiug an opera house, and declare that it will pay I I think it would pay better to invest our spare dimes in corn for the starring thousands of our State, many of them the widows and children of soldiers who died fighting for Georgia, and do without Italian operas foe the present.” The money to build the Railroad will come from the pockets of the capitalists, if not of the South, then of the hortk, Propositions have come from both sec tions. The point in regard to supporting the poor of the State in preference to build ing an opera house, ia apparently, a good one; but the latter enterprise will do good to the poor, also, by enabling clerks and laboring men, with a little spare means, to iurest in a profitable enterprise, and by giving employment to mechanics and laborers in the erec tion of the building. It is not a good argument that the improvement and beautifying of a City, or the prosperity of a community should be entirely stopped in order to support the poor. The argument works better the other way. Build up, improve, work, work. This will give employment to the needy, circulate cnpital, increase business, and do more to relieve the ne cessities of the poor than to give them a few dollars every now and then, barely enough to furnish provisions for a short time, without giving them employment to provide tor the future. Let as, then, by all means help the poor; and by all means have the opera house, the street railroad, new manufac tories, and any and everything that will tend to build up the City, increase its trade, and support the poor. An Opera House. We suggested, some time since, the propriety of building an Opera House in this City. We then set. forth the ad vantages arising from the existence of such a building in our midst. Now, we have a suggestion to make. It is this : Purchase the present building known as Concert Hall, and enlarge it to the proper dimensions; add the necessary improvements in the interior, and make a handsome entrance either on Broad or Ellis street, as may be deemed best. Competent architects say the work can be done at a reasonable expense. Let a Joint Stock Association be organized, with the shares so small that all who feel disposed can take stock in it, and go to work at once with the bnilding. This plan is a feasible one, and, we have rea son to believe, can be accomplished. The enterprising proprietor of the Hall is a gentleman who would throw no ob stacle in the wav of the City’s improve ment ; but would, on the contrary, do all in his power to advance its interests. Hence our reason for the opinion that an acceptable arrangement could be made with him in this regard. The existence of such a place of amusement is a necessity. People will enjoy themselves, and merchants and others seeking a place to trade or to re side, will oftentimes prefer to visit a city where such places exist It thns is advantageous in a commercial point of view, as well as in the other respects wc have named, and should receive the prompt and earnest consideration of our citizens. < , As Ibtbeesiixo Law Case. —The following report of an interesting law case is from the New Orleans Times of a late date: Jean Baptiste Allison, a frecdman, was indicted for committing a murder on the 15th of July, ISGS. The defense moved to (jaash the indictment, on the ground that, at the time the defendant is charged to have committed the mur der, he was a slave, subject to the laws of Louisiana relative to slaves, and amenable to a special tribunal created for their trial; that the effect of the amendment of the Constitution of the United States was to set him free and abrogate all laws enacted for the pun ishment of crimes committed by slaves. The prosecution held that, under the Louisiana Constitution of 1X64, the de fendant had become a frecdman, and was therefore amenable to the laws for freed men. Judge Fred Gates held that the Con stitution of 1864 was illegal, and that slavery was uot abolished iu the Parish of St. Martin until December 6th, 1865, when the General Assembly of the State ratified the Constitutional Amendment prohibiting slavery j that the defendant was therefore a slave at the time he is alleged to have committed the murder, and that the motion to quash must pre vail. The validity of President Lincoln's proclamation was not decided upon, as St. Martin was one of the parishes ex cepted from its operation. —The following is one of Josh Bi'- lirigs’ very best sayings : “A man run ning for office puts me iu mind of a di g that's lost; he smeiis of everybody be meets, and wags himself all over," Removal*. The past week has bosa ons of great confusion to the many good people of Augusta—-more particularly her mer chants ; numbers of whom hsve, bom choice of necessity, changed their places of business.

A R*lk\—The annexed letter ex plains itaslf, and shows of what Southern soldier* were made: CuoKvsxiicaaic, Macon Cos., A15.,1 September 26, 1866. j Editor National Intelligencer: Sir t 1 take this method of informing you that I have in my possession a belt reputed to he the property of Gen. Mc- Pherson. I cannot vouch for its iden ty, but will describe it, and probably some of his staff officers will know whether it is genuine. On the left of the buckle is a lion's head in bas-relief, from the mouth of which three gold chains are-attached to a shield. In the 'center of the shield is au e igle holding in bis mouth a streamer, which bears the motto: “E pluribus uniim.” The belt is gilt, with the exceptiou of two narrow blue stripes running its entire lecgtli. * I would have made known this fact loag ere this, but I was not positively certain whether it was really tbe pro perty of Gen. McPherson, nor am I yet, but if i( is genuine, I am confident it will be prized and cherished .by those who are near and dear to him, as he was loved an<l admired not only by his awn soldiers, but by every true soldier of the Southern army. It may not be amiss to state that I came in possession of the belt imme diately after the battle in front of At lanta, having bought it from a soldier of the Texas Brigade. Any relatives of the deceased entitled to it can obtain the belt by addressing me at Chuunennuggee, Macon county, Alabama. G. Elmore Bukukss, Late Captain U. S. Army. Dame Fashion’s Latest Dbcrxes.— A New York correspondent of a West ern paper says that the mysterious mem bers of the handicraft which carries out the decrees of Dame Fashion, and at once furnishes taste and clothing to the American people, have just issued the following regulations for winter wear. The fall openings are justover, and these decrees are the result and are in conso nance with the latest displays : DECREE I —OS DRESSES. There is to be no anarchy in the cut of ladies’ winter apparel. * They are to have two distinct costumes for morning and evening wear—the former short; the latter, for dinner toilets, soirees, etc., are to have trains, and such trains as they never had. The two extremes, of course, will be favored on the same day. The evening robes are to be richly trimmed with every kind of silk em broidery and chenille, and are to have both bodies and waistbands, in prefer ence to the Princess form, which is all body and skirt in one. DECREE ll ON CRINOLINES. There are to be worn with these dresses two distinct crinolines ; one a little, round, insignificant hoop, as flexi ble as a willow, for the short morning skirts; the other, a long train crinoline, like a peacock’s tail, expanding out, for 'the evening splendor. Ladies, bo it un derstood, are never to goon foot in their trains, and consequently there will he no necessity for tying up skirts with strings nnd loops. DECREE 111 PANTALETS OB TROUSERS. Trousers are to be actually and posi tively worn, but not exactly ala Bloom er, but to avoid the exposure consequent on the use of niters. These trousers will be worn with elastics at the anklesi not the knees, ala Turque. They are to be made of taffeta, the same shade as the short under petticoats. DECREE IV —BONNETS. Tho newest bonnets are the Marie Antoinettes, and they will go through the winter. They have flat crowns and hat rirns, which, however, come down at the ears. Catalaines, decrees Madame Railings, of Canal street, who is the great authority here among milliners, as Madame Deinorest is among dress makers, and has the superior taste and stock of New York—Catalaines, she says, will last a long time. Her richest are made ot velvet and edged with velvet vino or oak leaves, having jet pendants at all points. The most lash ionable flower is the nasturtium, which is of & rich apricot glow and looks so well iu velvet and lace drapery. It is not true that the ladies are to wear those horrid coal-scuttle shapes which have been seen in shop windows. DECREE V —JACKK+S, St.EF.VEB, TRIM MINOS, ETC. Jackets are to be rich velvet patelot sac* or pcplum casaques, both richly embroidered. The narrow and wide mediaeval sleeves will be equally fash ionable ; but where the latter is adopt ed, a small, narrow undcrsleeve tnuAt be worn for warmth, and sit close to the wri»t. Nothing ever seen in passemen terie can equal the richness of the mantle trimmings—cord, jets, tassels, streamers, rosettes, chains, brande bourgs—anything and everything that is expensive and extravagant. DECREE VI—SILKS. The newest silks are striped, plain, and figured. A favorite stripe will be shaded grey or bright grass green. The best dress-makers advise -plain silks for fall dress, on account of the latitude left for trimming. The Day the Lkoisi.atube Meets.— The Macon Telegraph baa tho fol lowing : . - ■ 1 ; ' r • Macon, Oct. 5, 1866. M KBBKH. Editor* : By reason of the diversity of opinion which prevails in relation to the time ot meeting of the next General Assembly of t(ie State, I Havre been requested to call attention of all concerned to the following provisiou of fte new Constitution : “The first meeting of the General As afltqbly under this Constitution shall be on the first Monday in December next, after which it shall meet annually on the first Thursday in November, or on such other day as the General Aisembly may day having been prescribed, die .first Thursday in November is the day of meeting. Very respectfully, John B. Weems, Secretary of the Senate. "Padvrs Bete.”—There is a French song which has for a chorus, the words: “Jbunre Betel I’auvre Betel" (literally, poor beast 1 poor beast!) and after read ing the following awful hits at “poor Ben,” the reader will feel disposed to apply the French ohorua to him, and exclaim, u Panvre Betel Pauvre Belt /” The Louisville (Ky.) Courier says: Ben. Butler was expected in Evans ville tho other day to make a speech in behalf of-the Jacobins. The Courier of that city squibs as follows of the prospective coming: Take “ Time by the Forelock." —Silver and gold watches should be buried with care and at ouce. Put them down in the holes at least thirty feet deep. Reasou—Thief Batler is coming 1 Bury Your Valuables.— lt is by no means certain that by burying gold and silver ware it is safe from discovery Oiir wealthy citizens should attend to the interment of their valuables at mid night, and let no one about the premises have the least information as to the lo cality. If you are not very discreet, Butler will get them sure. Change of Table Cutlery.—Vi e learn that the proprietors of the American House, Sherman House, Kentucky House, and other hotels, have buried their silver table-ware, and are now using iron spoons, knives and forks. Cause—Butler is coming. Sensible men! Hide Your Spoons. —The announce ment that “Picayune Butler is coming to town,” made in the Courier from a rumor in circulation in the city day be fore yesterday, has occasioned great uneasiness among house-keepers. The people generally yesterday were employ ed burying their valuables. We hope they will be successful in getting them out of his reach. Italian Marriage Brokers. —ln Genoa, these are regular marriage brokers, who have pocket-books filled with the names of the marriageable girls of the different classes, with notes of their figures, personal at tractions, fortunes, and other circum stances. These brokers go about endeavoring to arrange connections in the same offhand, mercantile manner which they would bring to bear upon a merchandise transaction; and when they succeed, they get a commission of two or three per cent, upon tho portion, with such extras or bonuses as may be voluntarily bestowed by the party. Marriage at Genoa is thus oftentimes simply a matter of busi ness calculation, generally settled by the parents or relations, who often draw up the contract before the parties have seen one another; and it is only when everything else is arranged, and a few days previous to the mar riage ceremony, that the future hus band is introduced to his intended partner for life. Should he find fault with her manners or appearance, he may annul the contract, on condition of defraying the brokerage, and any other expenses incurred. The New Orleans Riot.—The New York papers contain two dispatches giving further and contradictory ver sions of tho origin of the late riot at New Otleans, but with the partizan purposes now in view with some, it does not seein that any real good is to be gained by following the matter up. Mayor Monroe, in a message to the City Council of New Orleans, contends that the following facts are conclusively established by eye-witnesses: First. That the Police were first fired upon on the neutral ground, while discharging their duty, by members of tbe Convention. Second. That the first shots fired at the Institute were trom the windows of the edifice, by white and black people within; and asserts that it was reserved for General Baird to unlock the prison cells and let the black and white ringleaders loose upon the city, without hope of identification, to make political capital for Radical enemies of the reconstruction policy of his commander, President Johnson/ On the other hand, the Military Com mission who undertook to investigate the riot, are said to have just made a report, declaring that three-fourths of the mob was composed of the late Con federate soldiers, and that the action of Mayor Monroe precipitated the riot and the consequence that ensued. The New York Cotton Circulars. —A New York dispatch, dated October 3, »ays: Wright’s Circular, per the Java, to-day, says the accounts this week from nearly all parts of the Cotton growing regions have been more dis couraging than any yet received, Neill Brothers say great and general injury has been done during the past three or four weeks by rains or worms, or both, in some part of nearly every Cotton State, except the more Northerly ones, and whatever may have been the prospects or possibilities heretofore, a large reduction will have to be made for these disasters. This circular pre dicts a break down in the great specu lative mania here, unless it is supported by a stronger movement at Liverpool than appears probable while Stocks in Europe are so heavy. Cotton pui chnsed in this market to-day could not be laid down in Liverpool for less than while the latest quotation from the latter market(lhat of yesterday) reported the price as only 16d. The advance in this market during the week has been six cents per pound. —The proposition made to send from California a section of the “original big tree?' to the World’s Fair at Paris, is said by Dr. Macgowan to bo impracti cable, for want of a sKw long enough to cut it. The cutting would require a saw forty feet long. —Ladies who aro fond of cultivating flowers in the house, will find great ben efit to the plants by spreading a coating of moss over the eitrth in their Power pots. This keeps the water from evap orating, and tho temperature more uni form. Treasitrb Trove —A Curious Relic. —An ancient gold cross wss found last wiuter in an excavation in the ruine of Clare Castle, in England, of which the Queen desired to know tbe history. As treasure trove it became the property qf -the Crown, and by the Queen’s com mand, tbe antiquarians have found out all about it. There is strong reason, they say, for believing that it formed at one time a part of the royal collection of jewels belonging to King Edward 111, for it is recorded that he had among his jewels, kept tor safe preser vation in the Tower of London, “un croys <Tor double overe de trijftire que est de la croys Jhesu Crist, et ne puit esire preise" (A cross of gold which represents the cross of Josus Christ, set with pearls, and cannot be valued). This description folly answers to tbe cross found at Clare, for that had four large pearls, one at each transverse section of the cross, while the cross itself, with the figure of our Saviour upon it, was most beautifully foliated ; at and the chain, about two feet long, was of the richest description. How this precious royal jewel came to be found in the ruins of Clare Castle is thus ac counted for: “It was the common practice of our sovereigns in former ages to bestow on their children and grand-children, as wedding gifts, rare jewels and relics; and as Edward Ill’s grand-daughter, Phillippa, was married to Edmond Mor timer, the Lord of Clare, and upon her marriage came to reside at tho Castle, she in all probability had this jewel given to her on this occasion, and it was by her taken to the Castle, where it got lost. What confirms this history beyond all doubt, is the fact that this particular jewel, before described in old French, disappeared from that very time from the numerous inventories which are extant of the Royal jewels. Thus this once royal jewel, which has been buried at Clare, lost for five hun dred years, has once more come into royal possession. THE second suow storm of the season commenced this morning about daylight. Don t know when it will stop. Judging from present indications, the clerk of the weather has lost the stopper. It would seem strange to our friends in America, after being blessed(?) with two or three snow storms at this time of the year, to see green-corn, tomatoes,, green-peas, etc., for sale at stores and on the streets, and last, but not the least, we to day saw a gentle youth, over whose preco cious head scarce a dozen summers has gently passed, seated in quiet and con scious dignity—on the ground—eating a “chunk” of water-melon, undisturbed by snow, cholera or any other man. Such is life—in Colorado. —Black Hawk, Colorado, Mining Journal, Sept. 19. As an astonished Teuton once ob served : “Vat a beebles ! Vat a goon, dry.” The Famine in India. —The progress of the famine iu India is still continu ing, and the mortality is ever increasing. The state of tbe country is said to be frightful. A correspondent of the Cal cutta Guybilvar, of the Bth, who has made a tour of the Mefueil, sends a nar rative of suffering and death which has rarely been paralleled even in the his tory of such calamities. In four vil lages which he visited, there were not ten houre that did not contain one or more dead bodies. In another small place there were four or five hundred dead, most of them unburied. —Wm. Jones is collecting materials for a Religious History of the Army of Northern Virginia. Charles Gavarre is writing a History qf Louisiana, and William Gilmore Simms a History of South Carolina, both of them for schools. —The Board of Aldermen of New York have adopted a resolution direct ing the Street Commissioner to enter into a contract for the erection of a monument in Greenwood Cemetery to deceased soldiers, at a cost not to exceed $ 15,000.
