ftllt fails Ittss. City Printer—Official Paper LAMEST OPrrcHWmATIOM. AUUUItTA. QA..I SATURDAY MORNING Oet. S«, 18*« A Good Work Intugonted. A number of Indies of Columbia recognising the necessity ol finding em ployment for that large class of persons whose means have been swept »wbt by the calamitous termination of the war, hare determined to organise an asso ciation for the purpose of obtaining "in' terials and encouraging the manufac ture of a description of clothing seldom met with at the North, and sending it for sale to those points where money is abundant and wealth can afford to P*7 for such luxuries of the toilette as our ladies know so well how to fabricate. It ia propoeed to attach to the institu tion a home store in which articlee may be deposited lor sale—(the name of the depoaitor to be withheld if desired) and where our citizens and strangers may go to purchase the trimmings and fancy articlee ordinarily to be found at such establishments. The profit upon the •ale of these staple articles will, h is be lieved, pay the expenses of the manage ment, and thus leave the sums accruing from the sale of articles fabricated and deposited by our own people, to be de livered intact. When it in remembered that a very large number of ladies would to-day make up hats, collars, embroidery, etc., if there was an opportunity to dispose of them at anything like their real ▼aloe, and that this association of ladies have it iu thei »wer to establish cor responding agencies iu Baltimore, New York, St. Louis, New Orleans, aud elsewhere, it will be apparent that they may be instrumental in disposing of a large amount, if not all of the work f which may be left with them for the purpose. We are requested to say that contri butions of money or material may be sent to Mrs. Dr. Howe, or to any of the following ladies, who will acknowl edge receipt of the same: Mrs. John Bryce, Mrs. McFee, Mrs Dr. Fisher, Mrs. Bauskett, Mrs. E. W. Green, Mrs. John Adger, Mrs. Dr. Fair, Mrs. F. G. DeFontaine, Mrs. Wil liam Martin, Mrs. Reynolds, Mrs. J. Devereauz, Mrs. Shand, Mrs. J. Levin, Mrs. B. E. Levy, Miss Kate Hampton, i Columbia South Carolinian. The organization of snch an Associa tion as is mentioned above, is most commendable, and worthy of imitation everywhere. “ The poor we have al ways with us;” and it is the duty of the more fortune-favored of every com munity to provide and support those thus entrusted to their care. Tfcere are widowa*and orphans made sue* by the cruel ravages of a desolatiug war, with no one to provide for them; some will ling to work, but unable to obtain it ; other willing, also, but disabled by sick ness, infirmity, or age. These must be provided lor; aud we know of no better plan than the one just organized in Columbia. There was something of the kind in Augusta before the war—called “The Needle Women’s Society”—but we do not know whether it still exists or not. At all exents, we invite the earnest consideration of the ladies of our City to this subject, and commend to them the example of the noble-hearted women of Columbia. In the plan proposed, it appears to os nn immense amount of good can be accomplished, in giving work to those wbo can work, and providing a charity fund for the support of those who can not. Tbe ladies of Augusta, never backward in well doing, nor deaf to the calls of charity and patriotism, should go to work at once, and inaugurate some praiseworthy enterprise. They can certainly count on the aid and countenance of thia generous commu nity. Ex President Davis.—A gentleman who saw Mr. Davis, in the past week, tell* us that he was much shocked at the change in hi* appearance since last June. There waa a marked decay of strength and rigor. The grasp of the hand waa feeble, and everything showed that a protracted imprisonment was tell ing upon the life of the captive. Even ■were Mr. L»avi* to be released to-morrow, the treatment to which he has been sub jected baa so shattered his health that we roach question whether he would survive a year. The work of malice is nearly accomplished, and there is little left for the executioner to work upon. How long is this disgraceful business to go out-— Richmond Examiner, Oct. 10. The National Intelliyencer has the following in reference to the trial of the distinguished prisoner: “We do not see how the trial can well take place before next spring. The Chief Justice will be engaged in the Supreme Court for several months after the open ing of Congress, and it will scarcely be practicable for him to hold a session of fko Circuit Court at Richmond until after the adjournment of the Supreme Court “We are glad to ascertain, as we do from the correspondence, that the charges of complicity with the assassination are abandoned. We never had any faith in these charges. We have regretted very much that Mr. Holt’s zeal ii» this branch of the subject hurried him into steps in reference to procuring the testimony of Conover aud others; which, to say the least of it, have served to wound Mr. Holt more than Mr. Davis. ’ Quashed. —The indictment for treason again* Hon. J. F. Bullitt, in the United States Court at Louisville, has been quashed, the United States/ttoruey en tering a nolle prosopU. I From Us Saw York Ilsrald. Th« Southern Bt»te»— Sign* of a Wholesome Benetton- A correspondent from Charleston sajs that Governor * Onr, ie nnticipati|n pf the caihrscmcut of the restoration policy of Congress in the impending Northern elections, i* inclined ta try the expert' ment of calling the Legfclattire together for the ratification of the Constitutional Amendment, and to move also in behalf of anew election for members of Con gress, to the end that men may be chosen who can take the test oath, which is a law of Congress. We are gratified to bear this goejd news as to the inclinations of Governor Ore. If the Northern October and No vember elections (the first ot which came oIP in Pennsylvania, Chip, Indiana and lowa to-day) should 1 result decisively in favor of the Constitutional Amendment, we trust that this intelli gent and practically disposed Governor of South Carolina will put into practice his aforesaid inclinations; for we expect that President Johnson will cordially snpport him in the course indicated. The initiative, too, of the ratification of the plan of Congress by the still ex cluded States caunot be undertaken in a better quarter than South Carolina, the State which contrived, fomented and led off in the late rebellion, and the State which has suffered more from her revo' lutionary lolly than any other one of the States involved in it. Let South Caro lina, with her mischievous record before the 'y&r, her, bloody record during the war, and her creditable record since the war, lead off for the Constitutional Amendment, and there will be no diffi culty in bringing all her late insurgent confederates into liue. The example o f Tennessee binds Congress to the equiva lent of admission for the ratification by South Carolina, Florida, Texas, or any other out-lyiug State. It is a precedent, we say, which binds Congress, all the teachings of Stevens, Sumner, and such fanatical Radicals to the contrary not withstanding. We arc pleased to discover that the views of Governor Orr are beginning to be ventilated in various Southern jour nals in North and South Carolina, Geor gia, Louisiana, and elsewhere. After the Northern October elections, we ex pect that such views will rapidly become the ruling public opinion of the South.— The ipse dixit of any such old unrecon structed Southern Rights politician as Governor Sharkey, of Mississippi, has bad its day. Old things have been cast overboard in the South by the war, and all things have become new, and new ideas and new leaders are demanded to meet the new order of things. Such a preacher at this day, for example, as Judge Dawson, of Georgia, who made a long speech on Southern rights and Southern wrongs at a Democratic meet ing in Brooklyn the other night, is not the man to teach the ways of reconstruc tion South or North. He would have us believe that Congress has no authority over the subject of restoration, and that the rebellion was nothing more than a matter of State Rights after all. He preaches the preposterous doctrine of “ the Union as it wai,” or the world be fore the flood, and the sooner such blind leaders of the blind withdraw, North and South, the better it will be for all con cerned. Ahmikal Semmks on Yankee Ener gy.—Admiral Semmes uow editor of the Mobile Gazette, says: “ We have been beaten in all our con tests with the Northern people by want of energy. While we are day dreaming or sleeping they are at work ; at work like so many beavers or bees in a hive. If they have a railroad to build they set energy at work, and it is built; witness the great Pacific railroad, now stretching itself like an immense serpent across the Rocky Mountains—a work scarcely re tarded by the war. They are as energetic in polities as in political economy. We picked up the Detroit Post the other day and among other things the energetic worker in the great bee hive of Michigan politics informed us that it was putting “ out a campaign paper,” and that it had received eleven hundred subscribers to it in one day I At the last census (18(i6) Detroit contained a population of forty five thousand, and was therelore, a little larger than Mobile. The Pont is a Re publican of the blackest stripe. This is the way in which the Republican majori ties are maintained, and even increased in the North. Every man subscribes to a newspaper aud reads; and as the news papers are Republican machines—nine tenths of them—run by the giant energy, do we wonder that all the people are Re publicans ? What a pity it is that this giaut does not live among us.” Cube nob Lockjaw. —The Abeille Medicate publishes a paper by Dr. Fau caud, of Pout-Ste. Maxence, on a ease of lockjaw caused by an earring which had created a little local irritation, and by some accident was pulled so hard that the ear lap was slightly torn, got inflamed, aud suppurated. The subject was a boy of 11 ; his jaws were firmly closed, his head and spine bent back wards, and his whole muscular system in a state of rigidity. He had been in this state for three days, when the doctor was called in, who immediately admin istered one gm. of sulphate of quinine and fifteen gmS. of syrup of morphine. The sulphate was gradually increased by one half, aud at the end of the third day the tetanic shocks had ceased, but tho rigidity continued. To get rid of this, Dr. Foucaud applied elastic collo dion all along the spine, which produced an excellent effect in the course of U hours ; and this being repeated, the hoy recovered in the course of the following fortnight, ' _M. Gamier Pages has addressed a letter to the President, urging the obo lition of capital punishment .in the Unitod States. Somxthiko Nbw Ultima the Sue. — Tbe fashionable ladies of New York, have invented Something new under Bqp.” It lea “mother and infant recep tion.” Thn Exprtss gives full particu lam of tbo latest affair of the kind, minutely describing the habiliments of the happy mother and her child, worn on the occasion. It says: " The young wife of one of our distin guished lawyers invited her lady friends to see her beautiful infant when it reached the advanced age of four weeks. The rosy looking baby was attired in a beautiful dress of lace, sleeves looped with gold, and a broad blue sash around its virgin waist. “ The mother wore an elegant French gown, of deep lavender, made in broad plaits at the back, and floating from the ueck in a long train. Broad lavender ribbons were fastened on ench shoulder, brought down to the waist, and finished with a bow and long ends. The point of the robe opened over a skirt of cam bric, tucked with cluuy between each tuck, and lined with laveuder ; lavender gloves and some colored ribbons on her hair completed a most distinguishing toilet. “ The reception was from 2 until 4 o’clock, and during those hours the street in front of the house was lined with elegant carriages. Bcnoiton was in the ascendant. Fair forms floated from the carriages, dressed in the latest style. Bonnets which looked like head dresses, basques deep-pointed, shawls of lace and cashmere, dresses of moire and corded silk, and diamonds, lent their riehes to the occasion. “ The perfume of the sweetest flowers filled the rooms, and the ladies glorified in enjoying themselves all the more within, when the nearest pair of panta loons was on the coach-box ontside. The conversation was uuique. The re ception was not even profaned by a man waiter appearing. Many rich presents were given to the unconscious little cherub on whose account so much fuss had been made. Even the invitations were novel: : Mrs. C C. L , asp Daughter,; • At Home, ; Thursday, October -Ob, • From 2 until 4 o’clock, No. —W— st. ■ Civilzation Weakens as well as Strengthens. —Society never advances; it recedes on the one side as it gains on the other. It undergoes considerable changes; it is barbarous, it is christian ized, it is rich, it is scientific, but this change is ameliorated. For everything that is given, something is taken. So ciety acquires new arts, and loses old instincts. What a contrast between the v/ell-clad, reading, writing, think ing American, with a watch, a pencil, and a bill of exchange in his pocket, and the naked New Zealander, whose property is st club, a spear, a mat, and an nndivded twentieth of a shed to sleep under 1 But compare the health of the two men, and you will see that the white roan has lost his aboriginal strength. If the traveller, tells us truth fully, strike tbe savage with a broad axe, in a day or two the flesh shall unite aud heal as if you had struck the blow into soft pitch, and the same blow shall send the white man to the grave. The civilized man has built a coach, but has lost the use of his feet. He is supported on crutches, but lacks the support of muscle. He has a fine Wal tham watch, but be fails of the skill to tell the hour by the sun. A Greenwich nautical almanac he has, but being as sure of the information when he wants it, the man in the street does not know a star in the sky. The solstice he does not observe : the equinox he knows as |ittle, and the whole bright calendar of the year is without a dial in his mind. His note books impair his memory; his libraries overload his wit; the insurance &slice increases the number of acci dents ; and may be a question whether machinery does not encumber; whether we have not lost by refinement some en ergy, by a Christianity entrenched in forms and establishments some vigor of wild virtue. GOV. 011ß AND THE NEW YoRK IIeR AI.D.I—The following remarks of the New York Herald, in regard to its Charleston correspondence, will he read with interest by the people of this State The Herald's correspondent may, for aught we know, be correctly informed of the opinions of Governor Orr; but those which he has attributed to him are certainly not such opinions as he has seen fit to ventilate before his con stituents. In this matter, then, the correspondent of the Herald may be right, but in two other points he is cer tainly wrong. lie says that the Legis lature has given negroes all civil rights, except the right ol sitting on juries. This is a mistake. There is no such exception in the Civil Rights Rill of this State. And the idea of another extra session of the Legislature before the regular one in December, is prepos terous. — Charleston Daily News. Wha* Next.—We have noticed for some time the purpose to rush through the “Constitutional Amendment” by bluffing and imposture. First, it was telegraphed that the New Orleans Pica yune had come out in favor of tlyi amend ment. In due season this was positively and authoritatively contradicted. We were not deceived by the statement for a moment. Next it was claimed that the New Orleans Times was preparing to change front on the question. Mr. King, the editor, sends a dispatch to tho Na tional Inlelliyencer, branding the as sertion as an “unmitigated falsehood.” Fortunately, Colonel Nixon, the editor of the Crescent, was in New York lately, or, we suppose, there would have beeri a similar Radical fraud in regard to that paper. What next t—Richmond Ex aminer. Kihbino a Giant s Wive undkuFai.sk Pretences—During the past week the giaut Anak has been exhibiting himself in the St. Margaret's Music Hall, Can. terkury, and with his wife and followers, has occupied apartments at the King’s Arms Inn. In connection with his vi*t an amusing incident occurred. At tbs above well known hostlery a party of tradesmen are in the habit of meeting once in each week ; and it having come to tbe knowledge of these geullemen that so distinguished a visitor as “Ansk the Anakim” partook of hospitality under the same roof, they suggested to the landlord that ho should be solicited to join their select party. To this Anak willingly assented, and accordingly, one evening last week, he enjoyed the de lights of Bacchus with several old citizens of Canterbury. Whilstthe giant was so engaged, his wife—who, by-the by, it is said, is a comely woman of Irish extraction—was engaged in the bar parlor below, enjoying a tate-a-tete with the landlady, and several other ladies who happened to have “just dropped in." At this juncture a Scotchman who was staying in the house entered, and on being introduced to the wife of Anak> expressed his surprise that a person of less than ordinary stature should become the spouse of a giant. At this some what rude remark “Mrs. Anak” showed dissent, when the Scotchman held up bis arm, and declared that, standing erect, the lady could walk uuder it. To prove the incorrectness of this assertion, she presented herself within reach of the Scotchman, who so far forgot himself as to kiss her. The lady at this naturuliy became very indignant, and at once in sisted on the delinquent entering the room whereiu sat her husband, and there openly admitting his offence aud craving forgiveness. To this proposition the ScoWhinan at first demurred, but when told that non-compliance would entail upon the personal interference of the giant, he made his way to the room, and there publicly and frankly made a “clean breast” of the matter,offering, of course, every apology for his indiscretion. The giant as frankly forgave him; but not so Ihe lady, for, having followed the repent ant offender, much to the amusement of the company, she declared that had not the kiss been obtained under “false pre tenses,” she would not have felt so much aggrieved. —Dover Chronicle.
