BP of more than ordinary Albums can Hless than half the prices ' • '•> fine chance i- thi ; l!,at H to out- pc jple tu alum 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. HOTEL ARRIVALS, globe Hotel. W. C. HEWITT.... .. PROPRIETORS Friday. Oct. 13, 1866. W H Dickinson, Burke Rev G G N MacDonell, Savannah I, W Lyon, Georgia J W Bryan, Atlanta B J Mosely, Lincoln E L Weems, Miss L D Palmer, Dalton H C Harper, Burke A W Summers, Sand Hills Mrs Sallie Lanier, Edgefield J M Bryan, Washington, Ga S F Finerty, Chicago, 111 John L Smith, Alexander, Ga J A Mays, Warrenton Ga F G C Peek, Crawfordville, Ga C W Cutting, Atlanta, Ga G W Sapp, Alexander, Ga Maj C F Trowbridge, USA J M Toole, Columbia co Mrs Eichelberger, Edgefield, S C S R Palmer, Washington, Ga J J Hightower, Macon, Ga A G Whitehead, Burke co 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.
