The ‘Mars and Stripes” waving over a united and harmonious people—(Wo. p, rny and peace prominent every wl ere Churches and Public Schools thickly dotting every corner o! the scene; and the motto, well deserved ami proudly borne : "The land ol the iree and the home of the brave.” It is only a fancy picture, a very rough sketch of what might be very handsomely elaborated and sketched, il the artists of the country —the Ameri can people—wouid only devote them selves assiduously to the task. The daubers who are attempting to paint over this beautiful picture ought to step aside and give way to the real artists who know so weii how to give lile and beauty to “the National Landscape.” The Tax on liquor. It is staled that the present tux on liquor is very unjust and enormous, and that it is doing much injury to the mercantile interests of Augusta. This statement is -sustained by the exhibits o! those who are qualified to know. Thus, we are informed that one third of the taxable iiuuc ol merchandise is on liquor ami that tlie tax on iiqm-r amount* to about twenty dollars per barrel; while no such tax is levitd in any other .State in the Union, lienee, some of our merchants store their liquors in Hamburg, $. 0-, and sell it over then, | ayit g taxes on it to South Carol.na, thus diminishing the revenues of (ur county ami State, and keeping trade away from our City, tor, a merchant who comes here to buy ins liquors will be apt to purchase other goods at the same time.

Mr. Editor: Logicians seem dis posed to give instinct very little credit in teaching men,(not women), “to think, to judge, to reason, and to commuuicate their thoughts to each other witli pre cision and accuracy”—and it seems to me, that they are only, “shirking the question” when they admit that intuition is the instantaneous action of the mind iu perceiving the agreement or disagree ment of two ideas. The most amusing illustration of instinct is that of the hen who has hatched a brood of ducks, and her perfect manifestation of aston ishment on seeing the young ducks take to the water, their element, which she seems to dread. And :s to intuition, when a woman in the simplicity of her heart says, “a thing is so because it is so,’’ we have a special contrast between her and the philosopher who very com placently tells you that the half of any thing is less th in the whole. Instinct aud intuition, as I take them, is the fuundat ou upon which the super, structure oi conscience is raised, and if both are allowed their natural develop ments, unrestrained by the artifices i.f society, there can be no doubt as to the latter being our safe and proper guide iu all the transactions of life. Instinctively and intuitively, even be foie the Christian era, the foundation of morality was laid in this, “Do unto others, as you would others should do unto you.” This gn at principle ad dresses itself in its simplicity to all men, uutuuD.iind children at' the Human race, and is the triumphant test of a true conscience. What instinct and intuition have done for morality, they may do for the civil government of the world, aud it is fond y hoped that the era is not distant when it will be universally acknowledg and that “ail un n have a right to do aid act, anti think, and enjoy themselves as they individually please, provided th it, in acting, thinking, and enjoying th nil selves, they do not interfere with the same right in other These two great principles cover the whole ground of human happiuess, aud, with the aid of the strong urtn of religion, could be made at once to ameliorate the present I depraved condition of mankind. Musta id Seed. Bad Pay.—Under the abo e caption, we find the following in a Northern exchange, in relation to Southern Rail, roads: “Those of the Southern Railroads that were permitted to purchase loco motive!, cars, rolling stock, et •., aft< r the close of tl e war, on credit, have not been prompt in meeting their en gagements. 'f ile total sales were §7,444,073.22, on which, up to the 30lh of June last, the interest was s33t>,- 086 01, making a total indebtedness at that date of $7,770,150.23. “Os this, but $1,200,085.18 was paid, leaving $6,570,074.05 due, besides twice as much more for repairs and improve ments by the United Stat s. Con spicuous among the defaulting compa nies was the Chattanooga & Nashville Railroad, which, on the 30th ot .Tune last owed the Federa Treasury $1,40..,* 204.07.” —Every now ami then we see in our Southern and Western ext hinges a m: rriage notice, setting fort i l ow “Lieu tenant, Captain, or Major So-and-so,” of the late Confederate Army, “married Miss So-and-so.” Now, seeing that everybody in the country belonged to the said late so-called—certainly every one wfio is worthy to lead a bride to the altar—we fail to see the necessity or propriety of slili continuing tho use ot these “handles” to the names ol the happy men. If a distinction must be observed, let it be on the other side— somewhat after this wise: “Married, on the 31st day of November, by tho Rev. Judas Iscariot, Miss Rhoda Hudor to P. Liver, lisq., who did not aid or abet the ‘late so-called Confederacy.’”—Charles ton News. la it So?—“They say" that nn order inis been issued from the Temple of Fashion, directing the calling from tho dead past that hideous custom which required gentlemen to wear spudetuil coats and Jackson tights.

M. I consider these Readers admirably adopted to secure the end for which they have been prepared. The selections are judicious, and the ar rangement is excellent. Reading is here presented as an art; the cousccutive meth ods of instruction are thoroughly exhibited, while the principles of correct and elegant Reading, with the illustrations that em body them, are so happily introduced, that easy and natural progress may be made. I am particularly pleased with the KBW SIXTH READER. This work has pecu liar merits. It combiues, iu an eminent de gree, tbe best features of our most pbilo losphic systems of Elocutionary Reading; ami, apart from its other recommendations, is especially worthy of the attention of Teachers ou the ground of its eclectic value. I shall introduce the New Sixth Reader into tho Elocutionary Department of this Uni versity. A. A. LIPSCOMB, Chancellor.” “Butler’s Grammars impress me very favorably. So tar as I have been able to examine them, they strike me as very suc cesstul efforts to adapt the subject of Gram mar to young minds. They teach the pupil how to think in the study of Grammar; and us most Grammars fail at this point, I can very fully commend these books to tho at tention of Teachers. A. A. LIPSCOMB, Chancellor.” We could append the endorsement of theso rare Books from all the important Teachers in the City of Augusta, who will i uso them exclusively in the r schools. v.ur liuoks have recently been adopted as follows: Reudeis and Grammars into all the Schools of Texas, through the action of the State Convention at Houston, July 4th, 1866.

HV will make a Jew short extracts from the mauy Testimonials we have received from time to time, unsolicited. From Editors- The New York Examiner , says: Every mother and housekeeper must often act as a family physician iu the many ill nesses and accidents that occur «tim>Dg chil dren and servants. For many of these cases, I have used Davis’ Pain Killer, and consider it an indispensable article in tbe medicine box. In diarrhrea. it has been used and efleeted cures. For cuts aud bruises, it is invaluable. The Editor of the Christian Advocate » says: It is a real pleasure to us to speak favorably of this artiele, known almost universally to be a good and safe remedy fur burns and other pains of the body, it is valuable not only far colds in the winter, but for various summer complaints, and should be in every family. A. D. Miller, Editor of Messenger, Glena Falls, N. Y., says : There is no medicine at the present day I value so highly as Perry Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer. I have used it in my family for years; in every insuuce it has proved a sovereign remedy. I tested its qualities to-day on a severe burn, and found it all that could be desired. Mr. John Jackson, of the Calais Advsr* tiser, writes: 1 know it to be all it is recommended, having used it in ,iuy family six or seven yoars. The Salem Observer says ; No article of medicine ever attained to such unbounded popularity and extensive dilftftion. It has penetrated to every part, even the most remote, of the kuown world, beuring with it its healing influences more potent than those of the spices of “Arab/ the blessed.” We are informed by our principal druggists, that they sell more of this article fur exportation than of any or all others, and that the demand is constant/ increasing. Tho Cincinnati Nmpareil, Nov. 14, 1$40» says: Seme of our most prominent citizens and busiuess men strongly recommend it to the publio as nn article of great ynerit and virtue# and that they never knew any medicine to been me so deservedly popular in so short a time.
