City Printer—Official Paper
LARGEST Cm CIRCULATION.
AUOUBTA, OA.I
SUN DAT MORNING Oei. 14. IMA
The Colombia and Aogoita Rail
road.
A great deal ha* been said about this
road of late, and on some two or
occasions it has been before tho City
Connctl, by its President, asking for s
subscription on the part of the City. In
another rohitnn we publish nn article on
the subject, from the Columbia South
Carolinian, and also the official report
of the Railroad Committee of Council ou
the Petition referred to.
Our Columbia cotemporary is mis
taken in two points. The amount of
bonds asked for is SIOO,OOO, uot $130,-
000 ; and thia investment would, by an
Act of tho Legislature, have* to be
sanctioned by a vote ol the people of the
City before the Couucil could effect it-
And again, the City is not free from the
effects of the war. Its losses were large,
its outlays heavy, and numerous enter,
prises commenced before the war, but
not wholly paid for, have to be paid for
now. In order to meet these expenses
thus incurred, and new and unavoidable
ones occurring, it was iouud impossible
to aid this enterprise at this time. This
will be seen by reference to the Report
of the Committee, which we publish this
morning. It was from no want of ap
preciation of the importance of the road,
that the asked for assistance was re
fused; and we are not sure but that
some arrangement may be effected yet.
If it can, the City Council and the peo
ple of Augusta will not refuse their aid.
Indeed, they would be blind to their own
interests if they had the ability, and yet
refused to assist iu the completion ot
thii work ; for it needs no extraordinary
discrimination to discern the advantages
which will accrue to onr City by its com
pletion. It will greatly shorten the route
of travel between the Southwest and the
North, and thus attract trade and travel
this way. It would opeu up new sources
of trade for our City, and prevent the
injurious effects which must certainly
occur if the enterprise fails and certain
others iu contemplation are completed.
If the City lends its credit to the
road, the bonds thus issued will, doubt
less, he among the most valuable of
its securities, because they will be
based upou a work which must prove
profitable to its stockholders, when
completed, and popular with capitalists
seeking investments in stocks of this
character. It will be no argument,
therefore, to say that the multiplicity of
City Bonds issued will depreciate the
credit of the City, and lessen the value
of a!i its issues iu the market. It will,
on the contrary, secure to them an ad
ditional basis of sec iritv, which must
improve the market value of all of
them, by increasing the value of this
particular issue.
Siiil, while we fully appreciate the
advantages to be derived by this com
munity in a commercial and business
point of view, bv the construction and
early completion of this Road, we are
well aware of tightness of the money
market, and of the onerous burthen of
taxation under which our people are
laboring, to urge the adoption of any
measures which may increase tbeir
burthens, or involve the City, in finan
cial embarrassments. As we have al
ready said, however, the question is or.e
for the City Council and the people to
decide for themselves, and if they can
so arrange as to give sufficient aid to
the enterprise to ensure its completion,
they will find the investment a profita
ble one, and, we are confident, will not
refuse that aid.
“Tue Davis Family." —Under the
above title, we notice that the Savannah
Republican, and one or two other
Southern papers, are giving currency to
a letter, published originally in the
Chicago Tribune, purporting to describe
the habits, occupations, etc., of the refu
freed household of our lamented ex-
President. Interesting as it may be to
our Southern people to know the cir
cumstances of a family who belong es
sentially to the South, and who are en
titled to our adoption, we have no sym
pathy with that Yankee, Jenkins, who
pries into the private circle and reveals
to the public eye incidents connected
with any of its members, which are re
hearsed simply to gratify an idle curi
osity. There is something of the black
guard and the villain about a writer
who invades the holy privacy of a home,
and introduces its ladies and children to
tie criticism of * public whose chie
passion is to urge that the father and
honored head, shall be to the
scaffold Hi the executioner. «e nepe
that our exchanges will make a note of
this. —Columbia South Carolinian.
Those are our scutiments exactly.
We fully agree with our Columbia
cotemporary on this point, and are
pleased that he has so plainly and forci
bly expressed hi* opinion on it.
Pkepakatiox or Cotton yob Mabket.
We took occasion, it few days since, to
suggest briefly the importance of taking
more care in the picking, ginning, and
packing of Cottou. It is largely owing
to carelessness or indifference in the
preparation of the staple lor market,
that anticipated prices are not realized.
Many thousands of pounds ure lost by
the insecure manner in which Cottou is
baled by many of our planters. I his
carelessness is most singular, when it
must he known that wastage is inevi
table, and that bagging sells on the bale
at one half its original cost. What
folly, then, as a coteuiporary says, in
planters to stint the use of bagging in
properly protecting the bale of Cottun.
And yet, for the want of such protection,
loss is constantly ensuing in classifica
tion and price. —Savannah Newt As

Jamu Gahdnkh, fcso. —We had the
pleasure, • day or two since, ol meeting
up with our friend end respected ettiven,
James Gardner, who, as onr renders al
ready know, is about to leave thia State
tor the North, where he takes a position
as Vic-President ot the Carrington For
warding and Kx press Company. Wo,
in common with this community gener
ally, will regret to part with him. His
gentlemanly deportment, his urbanity,
aod hi* editorial aoomplishmeuu, hare
all won I r him the respect and friend
ship of his fellow citiseus. There are
few who do not remember the ease and
dignity with which he presided over the
columns of the Owntits/sswlid, and it
was by his tact and judgment that was
secured lor it a name and a power among
the leading journals of the country.
In his new location and business the
Colonel will carry with him the best
wishes of his fellow-citisens.
The Columbia South Carolinian, in
a notice of Col. Gardner’s association
with the Carrington & Co.'s Agency,
says:
“Our former contemporary, Col. Jai-
Gardner, of the Augusta Constitution
alisl, has exchanged the sauctuui for
the counting-room, and politics for mer
chandise. We miss him; but he carries
to his new position, the warmest wishes,
the kindest sympathy, aud an earnest of
success in the support of hosts ot friends.
Associated, henceforth, as \ ic-President
of Messrs. Carrington & Co.’s General
Purchasing Ageucy, No. 30 Broadway,
New York, he will be prepared to servo
our people in a more practical way than
ever, aud we cannot do better than com
mend our readers to the explanatory ad
vertisement which appears elsewhere-
Citizens who desire mi agent in New
York for the purchase of anything, great
or small, cannot be more effectually or
economically served, than by Col. Jas.
Gardner, the high toned Georgian.
Important. —We are informed by
some of our farmers who have recently
sold Cotton in Augusta, that a City Tax
had to be paid upon all Cotton sold in
the City. Other planters state that
they hhve sold their Cotton recently in
Augusta, without any demand for City
tax being made. Now we would be
greatly obliged to some Augusta friend
if he will inform the people of Warren
county as to the amount of City Ta-Ufs
(if anv are exacted upon Cotton). It
is apprehended by some of the planters
of Warren, that a’ system of swindling
in regard to this matter is being carried
on by Cotton Factors, or somebody else,
to a very considerable extent. — tbarren
ton (Ga.) Clipjtcr.
In answer to the above request, tor
information, we will state that the tax
on Cotton in this City is twenty-five
cents on every one hundred dollars of
gross sales. On every one hnndred
dollars of the commissions of Comm s
sion Merchants and Cotton Facto r s,
there is a tax of three dollars. There
is no Cotton Factor in Augusta, we feel
justified in saying, who would knowingly
swindle the good people of Warren
county. Some parties may assume that
business for unworthy motives, but they
are not among the known Cottou Fac
tors of Augusta.
Letteh From a Colored Max.—
The following letter from a colored man
is published in the .Columbia South Ca
rolinian. The a lithography is bad, but
the sentiment is good, arid we therefore
give it a place in our columns:
Mr. ETiitor: I take the privileg of
riting a few lines to say to yon that I
saw yesterday a white lady walking with
a man of my own color in our streets.
She wore what you call a littin whoop
and a big waterfal and I noo she wasn’t
one ol our own people. I felt a disgust
for her, but a good deal more for the
colored nugp who put himself on an
ekwalety with bier, becaus I noo it
wasn't right. I wish to say to you that
t.e old servants of our people though
they know they arc free have not forgot
ton there position, and wish to give them
the respect which they are entitled to.
School marm.s are welcome for the pur
pose of teachin our children, but let
them kep thare places. Please print
this.
Person al. —We had the pleasure of
meeting on 11 roau street, yesterday, our
former Captain in the C. S. A., Mitchell
G. Hester, than whom no more gallant
officer ever drew sword. During the
Dalton campaign, the Captain received,
J 1 his right wrist, a wound, which has per
manently disabled him. Since tl|« close
of the war, he has been faithfully work
ing with ht3 own left arm, in order to
the support of himself and his interest
ing family. Last fall, he was one
amongst the most active merchants of
the Gate City, but at the present
writing, he is connected with the house
of O’Bannon & Bashaw, Commission,
Produce, and Provision Merchants, 95
Main street, Louisville, Ky. Our best
wishes attend the Captain.
We had, also, the pleasure of grasping
the hand of an esteemed collegiate
lriend, Mr. James B. Duke, of Burke
county, who was distinguished at Col
fur his learning and eloquence,
and, in the army, for his unwavering
courage. He has turned his attention
to the work of “tenchingjthe young idea
bow to shoot," and farming, in both
of which undertakings we wish him
abundant success.
Thf. Alarum. —The National Intclli
gencer sounds the note ot warning. It
says •“A project is on for the over
throw of constitutional liberty in the
United States. We charge the class of
uartizan zealots, known as Radical
. leaders, with compassing an early and
violent overthrow of the Government.
They know that this charge is.true.
Jtechanfft.
Hupp''sc President Johnson, or some
other Conservative man, assumes the
Dictatorship temporarily, uud crushes
out this “class of partizan zealots?"
What then ? Why Constitutional liberty
could be re-established on a secure at,d
lasting basis. Radicalism should not
go too far. Its “vaulting ambition may
o’erleap itself." That, however, is per
haps, after all, no business of ours.

Gextlkmkn :—Your kind letter of the
9th inst., requesting the delivery by
myself of a lecture iu this City on some
topic connected with the literature of
this State has to-day been handed me.
Relying for a merciful judgement of my
poor effort on that kind consideration
prompting your request, it wili afford me
pleasure to lecture at Masonic Hall, on
Thursday, the 23th of this month, on
‘‘The Wits of Georgia”—using the term
mils in its old Addisonian sense to desig
nate those who have illustrated the State
by an exercise of the lighter imagina
tive talents.

Very respectfully yours,

and others.
One ok us in Augusta. —Business
requires attention, and one of us, had
the pleasure ol visiting the beautiful
City of Augusta, on business matters,
and we congratulate ourselves on the
happy trip, but am nuhappy to state we
did not get our free ticket from the
Georgia Railroad Superintendent; how
ever, 'hat lias been promised, and we
hope to enjoy tho felicity of not letting
our empty purse suffer the next time we
go away from home. But that has
nothing to do with Augusta. When we
first arrived, of course wo went to a
hotel, aud having been there before and
accepted of Col. Geo. H. Jones’ hospi
tality, we paid our respects to him, aud
am fuily convinced of his kuowing how
to keep a hotel (the Augusta we mean).
The first night, we sauntered around to
our brethren of the quill, to let them in
form the community that the Clipper
man was in town, and the young mar
ried man of The Daily Dress (by the
way, this is one of Augusta’s favorite
newspapers now), had tho following say:
“Editorial Call. —We were much
pleased to meet iu our sane him, last
evening, Mr. Henry S. Hill, one of the
editors and proprietors of the Warrenton
(Ga.) Clipper. Mr. Hill will call on our
merchants to-day for the purpose of re
ceiving their favors in the way of adver
tisements lor his paper. Business men
will find the Clipper to be an excellent
medium for communicating with the
country people.— Warrenton [Ga.) Clip
per, Get. 10th.
And we don’t intend to take it back
either. “We repeat it, sir 1 We repeat
itpi “The Clipper is an 1 excellent
medium for communicating with the
country people.”
“ Advertise.— Advertisers are the
men, says the Columbia South Caro
lirUan, who now adays make the
money.” “Without duo notice to the
public, a stock of goods might lie and
rot on the shelves, while ajudicious sys
tem of making their presence known to
the community, creates at once a ready
demand. We are daily reminded by our
merchants of the gratification they en
joy from patronage due to advertising.
No matter where a merchant may be—
whether in his little establishment built
up among the ruins or in the more ele
gant edifices recently erected, people
will seek him out when led-by that in
evitable guide—the newspaper.”
And we may add that The Daily
Press, enjoyinga a Irge circulation, is a
most valuable medium for making the
wants of our people known. Let them
advertise with us, and they will find the
result profitable to them.
A Brtee and Pointed Criticism.—
The “Rockland Gazette ” in announcing
the receipt of anew work, spoaks thus
briefly and to the point: “We have re
ceived a book entitled ‘Arabella, a Tale
of Tenderness.' The author is a fool.” —
Exchange.
If the author of “Arabella,” gets after
that fellej, he may takehis umbrella,
and hitblm on “the smeller,” while he
makes him yell, oh! Perhaps be was a
little "mellerbut that- won’t do to tell,
ah! Therefore let him slide 1

From tho Columbia South Carolinian,
October IS.
Augusta and Columbia.
While tho people of Columbia are
pursuing their voeatioua, mindful only
of the direct iullueuces which conduce
to present prosperity, and fascinated
only by present means and ends, a great
work, almost unkuowu to the mass, is
going on just beyond our city limits; a
great enterprise is in progress of com
pletion. Wc refer to tho Columbia and
Augusta Railroad. With a zeal that
has not been abated by the destruction
of war, and with energies that have not
been paralyzed by the ruined condition
of the country, its projectors have pushed
forwsrd iu the face of difficulties
until they begin to see their way clear
t > the magnificent results which await
the termination of thoir labors. The
road bed has been nearly comple
ted; a magnificent bridge is in course
of construction near this city, and thou
sands ot dollars are every month dis
bursed to laborers who expend their
earnings in our midst. In one year from
to-day there is every probability that
the irou horse will be performing its
mission, and another great commercial
link will bo established between Augus
ta and Columbia.
The powerful influence of such a
direct line upon tho prosperity of these
two cities is not a matter ot snrmise.
Opening anew avenue of trade, new
regions of supply, bringing us in more
active relation with other centers of
business, inviting capital, fostering en
terprise, reducing freights, and creating
healthy competition, from which both
Georgia and South Carolina will deri' e
substantial benefit, no sensible man can
withhold . his support and sympathy
from an undertaking so vital to our
interests.
Thus far, the Railroad Company have
been enabled to carry their own bur
dens, but hereafter they must have aid.
A comparatively small amount is re
quired—some one hundred aud fifty
thousand dollars, we believe, and this
has been asked for as an investment
from the City of Augusta. Columbia,
as is known, can do nothing. Many of
her public-spirited citizens are already
deeply interested, but the corporation of
the city itself is not in a condition to
employ its limited resources away from
home. Augusta, on the other hand, has
uot materially suffered. Her citizens
can pay taxes ; her Council can transfer
certain railroad bonds, already owned,
without teeling the change, and thus
really, without the outlay of a dollar,
most valuable aid may be rendered in
putting the Augusta aud Columbia rail*
road beyond the power of any ordinary
pecuniary contingency. We hope this
assistance will be forthcoming. We
know that the Georgians, always gene
rous in public undertakings, feel no
little interest in the success of the enter
prise, and it is gratifying to observe
that the press of our sister city are
urging upon the Council the importance
of granting the necessary aid.
With the connection established, tha
human mind cannot measure the com
mercial prosperity that will be ex
perienced. Although interior towns,
Columbia and Augusta will enter upon a
race for supremacy over even the cities
by the sea—Savannah and Charleston.
Manufactories will grow apace. The
grain of the great West will come
whirling into our midst; the products of
the North will seek a resting-place in
South Carolina and Georgia, aud wealth
will fiow into the coffers of a people,
whose energy has so plainly marked
them as worthy to become it3 possessor.
• •
The Cordova Mexican Colony.—
A number of reports have been pub
lished in reference to the Confederate
colony, at Cordova, Mexico, going to
show that the colonists were dissatisfied
with their location and condition, that
they were anything but comfortable and
satisfied and were anxious to retnrn to
the United States. The following au
thorative statement of one who has been
with the colony, will set the Report at
rest, and gratify the friends of those
settled in that far-off country, to know
that they are doing well and are satis
lied :
“We had the pleasure of meeting
yesterday, says the New Orleans Pica
yune of the 6th, a gentleman, recently
returned from Cordova, Mexico, where
since the close of the war, he has been
engaged in business. He fells us that
all the colonists are well, with the ex
ception of Gen. Price, who has been
down with a severe fit of sickness, but
when our friend left he was convalescent.
The rest of the colony, and the employ
ees on the railroad were in excellent
health. Their crops, morever, are good
and promise large returns. Many of
the colonists will make a great deal of
money. Their superior knowledge aud
tact have enabled them to realize largely
from the peculiar labor and cultivation
of Mexico. So satisfied are the colo
nists who remain in the country with
their prospects that none of them think
of returning to this country. They
receive their supplies principally from
this port.”
The Milledgevili.k Railroad.—
The Warrenton (i a.) Clipper, of the
11th instant (by the way, a lively, go
ahead little paper, up the Road), in
alluding to the Milledgeville Railroad,
says of its new President:
“ Mr Heard Is a gentleman of ability
and great energy, and he has assured
the Directors that the Road shall be
built immediately. The train went out
yesterday morning to bring Mr. Heard
from Camack; he is already on the
“war path,” and we may expect to see
dirt fly soon.
