Keeper of the City Clocjs, Mr. F. A.

utes ahead at 5 o’clock yesterday eve
ning. Thil *dl 4griu; with Washing
ton time; and wilt be advantageous
particularly to those who wish to go
away on any of the Railroads from this
city, as their time was ahead of the
city’s. Now, however, it is to be hoped,
they will all agree better.

Drawing Room Entertainment.—
Dr. Couturier will give a reading at the
Masonic Hall tomorrow (Monday)
evening, on which occasion he will be
assisted by Mrs. John Sloan, the tal
ented and accomplished Comedienne,
who will on this occasion, make her first
appearance in this City.
Dr. Couturier will recite several po
ems, including a travertee on Richard
111. by John 0- Saxe.
The elegant Comedietta entitled “A
Morning Call” will be performed, in
which Mrs. Sloan will appear as Mrs.
Cfcillingtone, and Dr. Couturier as Sir
Edward Ardent.
An entertainment of so intellectual a
character should prove exceedingly
attractive, aud the attendance at Ma
sonic Hall on this occasion should be
creditable to the good taste and intelli
gence of the community.
Gaulle Fire Company, No. 4.
This Company will meet in their new
engine bouse to-moirow evening for the
first time. We congratulate them on
the handsome ajipearanpe of their mew
quarters, and 1 ire sttre that they'deserve
all that has been done for them, and
more too.
charge of Hon. W. R. McLaws, given to
the Grand Jary of Richmond County
Court, with which the U.ut.Y Phess, of
Augusta, crediis the Waynesboro’ Times,
rightfully belongs to the Hawkinsvtlle
Dispatch.—Hawkinsville Dispatch.
We apologize to our cotemporary,
and assure it that the error was unin
tentional. ■
The Fihemkx’s Library.—What has
become of the Firemen’s Library pro
ject which we mentioned some months
since, as having been set on foot?
Surely there are literature loving, time
improving gentlemen in the different
fire companies in this city, to take the
matter in band, and carry it to a happy
and speedy consummation.
Witty. —The Greenville (Ala.) Ad
vocate is, unintentionally, wo suppose,
very witty in the following paragraph.
It says that in a previous issue, there
were “a good many unavoidable typo
graphical errors,” and adds:
One very apparent error was found
in our notice of the Message. The
word paternal , instead of
inserted by the compositor. lheie
were others, but not so apparent.
The word paternal is certainly more
apparent than “paternal.”
B&‘ Merchants and business men
wishing to secure Market reports
through the United States and European
News Association, will bo promptly
served, on leaving their names (during
the absence of the Agent for a few
days) with Mr. Pughe, at the Daily

City Council. —As we received the
Council proceedings nt a late hour, aa
error op two occurred, one of which we
propose to norrect now. A few lines
of Mr. Robertson’s Minority Report were
omitted. We, therefore, republish the
Report this morning corrected:
Au«usta, Ga., Dec. 5, 1866.
lo Mayor and Members of Council:
The Finance Committee, to whom
was referred the petition of the Watch,
or Police, asking additional compensa
tion for services faithfully rendered the
city, respectfully report aud recommend
that the City Council, in consideration
of the high prices of provisions, house
rent and wood, and many of them serv
ing the City faithfully being blessed with
wives and children to provide for, sup
port, clothe and care for whomitia their*
duty, find the present compensation
inadequate for th ;m and their lamilies’
support. Eoi the reasons above stated
it is recommended to the City Council
to p&ssthe following resolution :
Resolved by the City Council of Au
yusta, That the wages of the Sergeant
of Police be SBO per month and that
the pay of the Police or Watch, be
raised to s7o per mouth, with deduction
pf all lost lime. ;
[Signed}. A. P. IJoiiEitTsos,
Member Finance Committee.
The Richmond Academy. —Wo learn
that there are good reasons for the belief
that the military authorities will, on the
Ist of January, prox., turn over to the
trustees of the Richmond Academy, the
building occupied during the war as a
Confederate hospital, and since the war
as United States barracks.
—We congratulate our cotemporary,
the Daily Press upon his “Triumph
ant.” His exclusion from the Tele
graphic News we have ever regarded as
illiberal, and We are glad to find that the
spirit of monopoly, which ruled for a
while, has at last gone the way of the
wicked, and that justice again assumes
triumphant sway.— Warrenlon (Cr a.)
Clipper.
Thank you, brother Clipper. Weap
preciatu your kindness, and extend you
our very best wishes.
Dropped Dead. —A negro boy fell
dead on Thursday morning last, while
engaged in cutting wood on the prem
ises of Mr. Crocker, near this city. The
boy’s father and brother were at work at
the same time and place, and saw him
shortly after his death, but made no
mention of it until the sad discovery
was made by his mother.
Real Estate Raffle. —The raffle of
Real Estate, by Capt. T. P. Stovall, near
this City, is exciting no little interest iu
the various cities in the Union, aid the
prospects are that the chances will ad
soon be taken. We have already alluded
to the" important advantages of the
property to be raffled—its location, the
progress of the City In that direction,
and the probability of railroad improve
ments in that neighborhood. These we
need not recapitulate here. Our object
at present is to urge all who want the
opportunity of getting a good eligible
lot, at a nominal cost, to get a chance as
soon as possible before they are all taken
elsewhere. By the way, this is a good
chance to obtain a . holiday present.
Purchase a chance, or more, and pre
sent it, or them, to some friend. It
would be very acceptable—particularly
if it should be a lucky number. Try it.
Os Pictures. —lt has become an es
tablished custom in this blest City of
Augusta, on the occasion of the retire
ment from office of a Chief Magistrate,
to have prepared, in the highest style of
penmanship, the complimentary reso
lutions usually adopted by the Common
Council, which, being nicely framed, are
presented to the Lx - M; 1 y or. Now, we
approve all this, most heartily, and
recur to it simply to invite attention to
•the idea of having every Board of Al
dermen, together with the Mayor and
C.C. photographed —the picture to adorn
the walls of the Council Chamber. Sup
pose we had such a photograph of the suc
cessive councils—from first to the pre
sent —that have guarded the interests of
our beautiful city—would they not be
highly esteemed ? Most assuredly.
We should like very much to see the
idea carried out, even at this late day.
The excessive modesty of City Fathers )
generally, would cry down all such
young Americanisms, and it is, therefore,
not to be expected that they would or
should move in the premises. We are,
somehow or other, impressed with the
belief that it would pay a good pho
tographer to adopt and act upon this
suggestion. But very few of our pub
lic spirited citizens would be found with
out such a remtmbrancer, were it
within their reach, and we are pretty
confident that one would find a place in
the hall of every fiio company in this
City.
Plan for a New Railroad.—lt will
be scan, by an. advertisement in another
column, that application will soon be
made lo the Legislature of this State and
Georgia for a charter of a railroad to
run from some point near Saltketcher,
on the Charleston and Savannah Rail
road, to Millen, in Georgia. Such a
Mb eouacetion wit* the Charles
ton ant) Savannah Railroad, will open a
shorter, route tp the West than any
We no* hare, aad will lead to couipcti
tloa for the freight and travel to and
from Charleston in that direction, which
is a want that has been long and
seriously felt by this community.
We are glad to be authorized to say
that this application will be mode by
capitalists who have an abundance of
means, and who are determined to open
this great thoroughfare, and by the short
est route and best accommodations
induce travellers and producers to select
for themselves" (ho tnost "advantageous
aad eomfortabtestopjing places.c
This-scheme hssfoilg'been a raWi}e
one with some of the most enterprising
and practical men ot this city, and we
congratulate them that they have at
last found capitalists of enlightened
viewsio carry out lb« plan wjiiclwthej.
7m A* oil jy r^, °““u«O'Hd— Charles,
It is the prospect of this Road and
one in another quarter that led us to
advocate subscription to the Columbia,
and Augusta Railroad. The advocates
aud friends of the other rival routes will
no doubt, go to work at once, and the
commitce appointed by the Council on
Friday last, in making terms with
the officers’ of “ the Columbia and
Augusta Road should insist on a
part of the contract, upon the comple
tion of that road to this City within the
earliest possible period.
IteS?" Advertisers will consult their
own interests by sending their favors to
the Daily Press office. Everybody
reads it—very I tody takes it. Subscrip
tion price, only Five Dollars a year.
Arrival of a Distinguished Opti
cian.—Professor M. Bernhardt, the cel
ebrated Optician and Oculist, of Berlin}}
Prussia, and recertify from New York,
has arrived in our City and taken rooms
at the Planters’ Hotel, where he intends
to remain for a short time. The profes
sor comes highly recommended by the
medical faculty, and by other gentlemen
of the best standing in society. We
also find by his advertisement, which
will appear Tuesday morning, that he
has received testimonials from some of
our most emiatnt physicians and 'clergy
men. Perhaps if would be as Well for
the public to improve the opportunity
now afforded, and for those who require
them, to secure a pair of the far-famed
double vision spectacles now offered by
Professor Bernhardt. His office for a
short time will be at the Planters' Hotel,
ladies’ entrance, and will be -open for
the public on Tuesday morning. f
Pictures Restored. —Mr. J. J.
Browne, carver and gilder, at No. 136
Broad street, is fully prepared to restore
old oil paintings to their original beauty
Our citizens who have such paintings,
dimmed by age or dust, should take
them to Mr. Browne aud have them
cleaned up. He also fixes up frames ol
all kinds.
Turn Verein. —The Germans of
Atlanta have organized a “'Turn Verein”
Association, and have already prepared
an extensive hall, fitted up with all
the appliances of a splendid gymna
sium.
There used to be a society of the
kind in Augusta, but we have heard
nothing of it since the close of the war.
No Bragging. —Mr. A. Hett says
when you meet with professional
Glaziers, you witl find that most of
them can do more or less bragging.
For instance, each will say that he can
do more than another. Mr. Hett says
that he has put in at Mr. Goodrich’s
Sash Factory as many as fourteen hun
dred lights in ten hours, with a little
boy as an assistant. Every and any
one who has glazing to he done—and
done well and quickly—send for him at
once.
Any one doubting his ability to put
in as many lights in the time above
mentioned, can get such a bet as they
may wish. Give him a call at 117
Reynolds street, between Jackson and
Campbell. n625-12f

In trial to-day of Conover, for perjury,
having sworn falsely before a committee of

contrary to the distribution of powers by
the constitution. He asked to have this
point argued as on it the case would turn.

investigate tho point. If decided against
the Government, and the decision be sus

The news from the Rio Grande thought
the indication of implacable hostility to
American intervention in affairs in Mexico,
and that any effort of the kind would cause
more united opposition than is now made
against the French intervention or Empire.
Both the Ortega and Juarez factions in
Mexico condemn Sedgwick’s occupation of
Matainoras. Several men belonging to tho
United States forces, were insulted in Mat
amoras on the 2d, and one, belonging to
the 114th Colored Infantry, was almost
beaten to death by some of Cortinas’ men.
