A Mpyt in tu Right Direction.—
Public attention haa been attracted,
during the past lew days, to the new
and enbetautial iron front’ now being
placed in the building of T. 8. Metcalf,
Beq., on the corner of Broad and Mc-
Intosh streets (formerly the Daily
Press Office). The peculiar and novel
feature of the improvement consists in
the fact that the entire preparation of
the structure is the product of Augusta
artizans and Augusta enterprise, the
whole work of manufacture having
been turned out of the extensive foun
dry and machine-works of Mr. F. E.
Timmons, of this city.
Truly, we may regard it as an aus
picious omen when we see our solid
men—our capitalists—giving the sane
tiou of their influence and means to the
encouragement of homo industry; and
no less true is it that the works of Mr.
Timmons have developed the fact that
“some things can be done as well as
others.”
Let the ball of encouragement to
home industry roll on, as that is the
true, the only road, to real substantial
independence. - «
There are too many in our midst who
send abroad for things that can be done
as well at home. Follow the good ex
ample of Mr. Metealf, and thereby im
prove the'busioess of the good old City.
An Ascending Stab. —The Griffin
(Ga.) Sta{ is in the ascendant, and its
popularity is evidenced by the fact that
its editor is so overwhelmed by the
presents of his numerous friends that he
is compelled to ask them to desist. But
you shouldu’t do that, brother Star.
Take them all as compliments to your
energy and ability, and don’t offend
your friends by refusing their compli
mentary testimonials. Take them,
titter and all, and don’t run a tilt
against your liberal citizens. Your
brethren down this way will not be
envious of you, for they are pretty
much iu the same fix.
But just hear our Griffin friend :
We have once more been compelled
tc hide our head—this time in a most
magnificent plush hat, the gift of anoth
er of the enthusiastic friends of the Star.
We hope our friends will discontinue
these embarrassing manifestations of
favor. We are actually almost getting
ashamed to go in a store or look a man
in the face, for fear of a present being
thrust upon us. Only a few days since,
we had a hoop skirt, of great dimensions
and first quality, thrust upon us—ami
all around us. It tilted, and showing
our ankles, made us blush all over. In
a few days came onr splendid trouser
loons; now the fine hat. What is to be
done ? Are we to lose our indepen
dence ot character ? Are we to be the
subject of the envy of our newspaper
brethren ? Iu the language of the illus
trious General Grant at the theatre in
Cincinnati, “these demonstrations are
very painfnl and quite offensive.” We
are no politician—although we stated
some time ago that we might run for
Congress, yet we were only joking. We
have therefore decided to receive no
more presents —at least nothing larger
than a comfortable house and lot in
Griffin. Gentle friends, spare, oh spare 1
our tender sensibilities 1
Recordeu’s Court. —There seems to
have been a “rattling among the dry
bones” in the above Court yesterday.
The attendance was pretty large. How
vigilant the police have been in ferreting
out and bringing to trial violators of the
City Ordinances, the following array of
charges and sentences, att iet:
There were fourteen white defend
ants. One was amigned for not
not having taken out a business license,
plead guilty, and was discharged after
complying with the provisions of the law
on license. The remaining thirteen had
(ailed to take out dray licenses--paid
costs of Court and were then discharged.
Four freedmen were up for violating
sundry Ordinances; the case of each
one was disposed of according to the
law, made and provided.
Reward. —Governor Jenkins, by pro
clamation, offers a reward of two hun
dred dollars for the arrest of William E.
Archer, or Freer, who was sentenced to
confinement in the State Penitentiary
for life, by the Superior Court of Fayette
county, at its late term, for the murder
of J. M. Padget, of that county. Archer
broke jail recently, and is now at large.
Here is a description of him : William
E. Archer, or Freer, is about 45 years of
age, about six feet high, weighs about
150 pounds, thin and spare in figure,
black eyes, has a fierce expression, dark
hair, somewhat grey, usually wears a
heavy beard which is mixed with grey,
quick spoken, with rather a coarse and
harsh voice, easily excited with liquor,
and when so excited, quite full of mo
tions and gestures, walks light, with a
quick step, and had a sore thumb when
he escaped.
The Daily Press.—This paper, de
servedly so popular in Augusta, came to
ns, a few days since, enlarged, and full
ot spicy editorials and substantial news
items. This paper is one of the largest
advertising mediums of the city, and its
proprietor, Mr. E. H. Pughe, seems to
be indefatigable in his efforts to make it
the most acceptable journal in the South.
The peculiar origin of this paper speaks
for its founder a degree of nerve and
energy unsurpassed by any newspaper
proprietor in the South. —Georgia ( War
renton) Clipptr.
Preaching, So-Called.—Rev. Drs,
Cheever and Spear preached “sermons”
in their respective churches, in New
York, last Sabbath, from the text:
“Constitutional Amendment,” saying it
was the ultimatum of the South. Rev.
Dr. Smyth delivered a discoure, at the
same time, and in the same city, upon
the vices of the clergy.
Dead.—Rev. D. Baldwin, author of
“Armageddon,” died of cholera, recently,
in Nashville. He was recovering from
his attack, when imprudence caused a
relapse, which terminated as above
stated. A good man has beeu gathered
to his fathers.

As the Eagle’s. —We sought the
Chief of Police, Chris Inn, yesterday,
and find that h's youth had been renewed
as the eagle's. Instead of in locks and
whiskers, “sprinkled with grey,”- he re
joices in those of a color like the raven.
So young did he look, we could not
first recognize him.
Something for Little Girls.—A
very jaunty little affair has just appear
ed for little girls. It is silk or fancy
cloth trimmed with velvet, buttons or
braid. It is somewhat like a zouave in
front, with the distinction that it does
not slope off as suddenly. It is cut
slightly up on the hips, and at the back
it describes a little coat-tail. This same
style of jackets is worn by little boys of
three to five years of age. For them it
is generally made of pique, or the same
material as the dress.
The Rural Southerneb.—We have
received the first number of a literary
and agricultural journal bearing this
title, and published at Columbia, South
Carolina, by R. M. Stokes & Cos., at
$3.00 per annum. It is a neatly printed
and interesting sheet, containing a
large amount of varied and interesting
reading matter suited to the Agricul
turist, Horticulturist, Teacher, Mechan
ic, Family Circle, and general reader,
and has our best wishes for its success.
Brutal Murder in Calhoun. —A
brutal murder was committed at Cal
houn, on Wednesday evening last. We
learn from the Atlanta Inlelliyencer
that the unfoiiunate victim was Mr.
Echols, a highly respectable citizen,
and for eight or ten years the Clerk of
the Superior Court of Gordon county.
Three East Tennesseeans—a Captain
Duff, an ex-Federal officer, and two
others, names unknown, are the sup
posed murderers.
It is Impossible.—Au exchange sen
sibly remarks that there is both point
and wit in the apology a Southern wo
man makes for the ill-behavior of (some
of) the people since the close of the war:
“We are exactly irnthe same position
as the little-boy whose father had given
him a severe whipping, and then told
him to stop crying immediately. The
little fellow gave three or four loud
streams; the father applied the rod
again; whereupon the child stopped
crying, and looked piteously into his
sire’s face, saving: ‘Pa, you are mighty
h ird on a fellow ; do you expect me to
ease off all at once !’ ”
The Metp.opolitans.—We have al.
ready announced that this Company
will be present at the parade of the
Augusta Fire Department next month.
Their Presideit, Mr. James
who used his utmost exertions to form
this Company and get a steam fire en
gine for them, resigned his office at the
meeting last Saturday night, and Gapt.
John F. Wheaton was unanimously
elected to fill the vacancy thus occa
sioned. The retiring and incoming
officers are both well-known and re
spected in this city, and: we wish the
Metropolitans the success they so well
deserve.— Sav. Advertiser, Oct. 9.'
The Municipal Election. The
election for Mayor and Aldermen took
place yesterday, 2,246 names bad been
registered, but there were only 1,402
votes polled. The tickets were badly
split, and as it will consume many
hours in counting them, the judges of
the election have decided to postpone
the counting till this morning. It is the
general impression among those best
posted, that a majority of the “White
Firemen’s ticket” is elected.— Sav. Adv.
Oct. 9tA.
—Emmigration Agents—friends to
the colored man—are to be seen in
almost every town in this State, looking
up that portion of Ham’s race who have
no homes. They find homes for them
in the far off West —in a firm! But
for the “greenback” with which they
expect to fill their pockets, Sambo
might go to the and —l. All the expense
and trouble at least comes out of the
negro, when he leaves his native land.

Do not Despair.— There is alwnys
a bit of green in the desert to show
that God is there.
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed band;
One will fade ae others greet thee,
Shadows passing through the land.
Do not shrink at life’s long sorrow;
See bow email each moment’s pain;
Qod will help thee for to-morrow,
Every day begins again.
