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.

SIMON, W.\ M.\ LEVY HILL. S.\ W.\ LOUIS SCHILLER, J.\ W.\ JOHN BENDER, Treas. WM. HILL, Sec. 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.

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.

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 Puesh office, 190 Broad street.

St 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 Piano-Fortes Timed. rpO MEET THE TIMES, I HAVE RE JL duced the charge for TUNING to TIIKEE DOLLARS.

In trial to-day of Conover, for perjury, having sworn falsely before a committee of Congress, Judge Fifth** inquired whether tho act of authorizing oaths be fore investigating committees was not an invasion of the judiciary department, and contrary to the distribution of powers by the constitution. He asked to have this point argued as on it the case would turn. The district Attorney asked time to investigate tho point. If decided against the Government, and the decision be sus tained by the Supreme Court, it shut£ dowu on Congressional investigation. FROM NEW ORLEANS. Nkw Orleans, Dec. B—P. M. 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.
