7th. hue the following editorial J'»r»-

Tint Hihlftiav C\rPr* I*m>-,

have resolved among other thiu._> in I
caucus to provide bv lew :
/i ml —That no name -hall be placed
on the roll ol the next t'nnpre-* r*vef t
from States vutil'ed to represent, lion by ■
law.
Second —Thai uo cioctural votes shall
be counted for Fresi.h-i t aid Vic's' t’resi

irotn Cuu^rcsi.
i'Wnrf-eThat the first session ol the
KoHieth Congress, liisna i ol meeting
in l*ecember, ns usual, shall meet on
the -Ali* of March next, at the close of
the present Congress.
Cooeidtiw, therefore, that the House,
bv an overwhelming majority, has resol
ved to adhere to the pending, constitu
tional amendment as the basis ot South
ern restoration this programme simply
means that the excluded States ahull
have no voire in Congress or in the ap
proaching Presidential election, tiniess
thev abandon meantime their present
declared purpose ot holding out against
the amendment. “To this complexion
thev roust come at last," and the sootier
the better. This is the whole ease in a
nutshell.
The Kadical programme will no doubt
be carried e#l tit the fullest extent, and
the President and the Conseratives of
the North, and the people of the South
wH! have to submit so it with the best
grace possible. It is therefore, perhaps
unnecessary to argue upon a subject
which has been thus prejudged and pre
decided; still until final action is taken,
there is room to hope that the voice of
reason will be heard, ami not without
good otlirct.
The caucus programme as given above
does not include all that the party in
power intend to do, in regard to the
South; but it affords the ground work
upon which they intend to build, as they
progress. 'As evidence of this, it is only
necessary at present, to cite the follow
ing resolution introduced into the House
ol Kepreseutalves ot Congress by Mr.
Broomall of Pensylvania, and adopted
by a vote of yeas 107 ; nays 37 :
Resolved, That the Committee on
Territories be instructed to inquire into
the expediency of reporting a bill pro
viding territorial governments for the
several districts of country within the
jurisdiction of the United States, for
merly occupied by the once existing
•States ot Virgiuia, North Carolina.
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mis
sissippi, Alabama. Louisiana. Arkansas,
and Texas, and giving to all adult male
inhabitants born within the limits of the
United States, or duly naturalized and
not participants in the late rebellion,
full, equal political rights in such terri
torial governments.
This, of course, effectively deprives
the States named of representation, and
secures ‘'impartial suffrage,!’ so called.
Now, the question for Congress and for
the people of the North to consider is.
whether in punishing the South, for a
political offence, they are not, also,
punishing the whole country ? The
unsettled condition of affairs works
injury trade and finance. Busi
ness lags, trades cense and capitalists
fear to invest in any enterprise. This
reduces the amount of taxable values,
retards the payment of the National
debt, and reflects injuriously upon the
character of the Government and of the
Republican system. '1 lie Government
suffers. Individuals suffer. Andso r
what? Simply to gratify revenge, to
exercise power because possessed, to
force measures unwise and unjust.
Against this the South protests, appeal
ing to the teason ot her enemies and
their sense of justice. Will they heark
en to it, and adopt a wise and liberal
policy,, by which the pacification of the
whole country, and (he unity and har
mony of the Union will be secured ? Let
us hope tbut they will. Let the work
ing people, the business men, rend tbe
capitalists of the North bring their influ
ence to bear to save their country and
theih-'elvcs from political, commercial,
and financial injury.
Agricultural Societies.
It is gratifying to know that tbe Rich
mond county Agricultural Society is in
a flourishing condition. It meets regu
larly, and its ureetiagsare well attended.
Subjects of agricultural interest are gen
erally discussed, and thus information of
great kapertanee to aii ml* rested is
elicited.
These societies are of great utility!
and every farmer ought to take an in'
rest in them, and not only become a
iroller, hut be a practical •member--
giving the benefit of his experience and
views and so adding to the general stock
of useful knowledge.
Lvfry county in the Stale should
organize such a society at once,
and in every Congressional district there
should be a district Society, to be com
posed of delegates from the county so
cieties, »hd a StatevSociety ot 'ielrgates
from the district societies. These should
all meet ns often as convenient, or as
may be deemed necessary for the inter,
cats of agriculture in the State. Once
in a while a general convention of all
the bwilh'.ru Staten could bo bold to
advance the general intercuts ol tbe hi.
tire section. Thus, we notice, one such
has been suggested by a Virginia paper ;
and the suggestion, we thinjti should be
adopted. J hero are important question*
to be decided now—such, for irtstange,
ns tbe question of Inbor, wfeout which it
would be very advontfifo-ons to have a
general understanding. Utber subjects
could be discussed, and much good ac
complished thereby. It ia to be hoped,
therefore, that, the funner*; of the Slate
will lake this whole subject into consid
eration, organise societies, hold conven
tions, and gel up f«irs,nnd.ln lad, take
everv step re. useWY ;>ron»ot» the
great interval wMch they represent,
St. .lauxs - K.M. Cm ki ii.—Uov. Geo.
Kramer, who. during the two years just
passed, served so ably and acceptably
the ccißregiUfoa worshipping at the
aliovc church, rioted his ollicial cornice
tion therewith, on Sunday morning last,
bj preaching, in his usual eloquent
I stjie, front the text found in the 28lh
chapter of Matthew, Ift, 19, ami 20th
verse*. In concluding his discourse,
which waa attentively listened to
throughout, the reverend gentleman
alluded to the man tier in which his
bearers and the citizens of Augusta
generally, are twined around his heart.
Duly calls him to anew place of labor,
vet he will be ever present with them in
spirit; lie will pray God’s choicest bless
ings up, n them, and Ids desire is, that
they will constantly make supplication
for him at the Throne of Grace.
In the afternoon Mr. -Kramer ad
dressed a few parting words to the mem.
bent of tbe isobath School, whose voices
he said, had often made him happy, as
they united in singing the songs of Zion-
The groat hope of the Church is the edu
cation of the young, and the place tor
properly educating the heart is the Sab’
bath School. St. James' Sabbath School
has an excellent reputation, at home and
abroad; this, he was confident, the pu.
pit’s and teachers would always strive to
sustain. Addressing the Superintendent
Mr. Derrv —Mr. K. said in substance:
Brother Derry : You know not the ex
tent of the good you are doing here i
vou will never know it, until the great
Bav of Judgment, when the books have
been opened, and the roll called. 1 here
will be many who will reter to this
School as having been the means of their
salvation.
In taking leave of the School, Mr. K.
craved their prayers and promised thorn
bis.
A hymn was then sung, when Mr.
Derry arose and repeated Mr. K's, refer
ence to himself, lie did so because
the honor of the school's success, and
the good it is doing, or may have done,
did not belong to him but to the teach
ers and pupils. If he had accomplished
any good he thanked God for it. lie
appealed eloquently to the young men,
ladies, and children present, to get their
hearts full of religion, if they would be
well fitted for this life and the one to
come.
We cannot close this imperfect report
of the very interesting and edifyiug
exercises conducted at the above men
tioned Church and Sunday School on
Sunday, without endeavoring to chron
icle the feeling ot regret, created in our
heart, by the departure from our City
ot so estimable a gentleman, and so
faithful a pastorj as Rev. George Kra
mer. Coming among us, almost a
perfect stranger, he lias, by his amiable
ness and eloquence, won a fast hold
upon the affections of all with whom he
has chanced to be thrown. Blest with
intellectual faculties of rarest brilliance,
and a heart as great as his mind is
powerful, lie is destined to yet greater
celebrity, and to be the object of the
love of thousands more, whom, we trust,
he may be the instrument of successfully
pointing the way of salvation.
To the Voters of the Middle Judicial
Circuit.
In consenting to become a candidate
for the Judgeship of the Middle Circuit,
i do not intend to canvass tor au elec
tion. Were I assured of the propriety
of such a course, neither time nor means
would permit me to adopt it.
The past ten years ot tny life have
been almost exclusively devoted to the
Service of the State. This service has
been in both military and civil life—in
the legislative halls and on tho battle
field—in war and in peace. I have
always endeavored to discharge my duty
faithfully, honestly, honorably. What
ever 1 have accomplished, I have been
made to feel that it has not advanced
my pecuniary interests. 1 desire to
abandon tbe field of politics, and sin
cere!) trust tbut tbe tocsin of war will
net cr again be sounded, nt least in onr
day and generation, i wish to pass the
remainder of my life engaged exclu
sively in the duties of that profession to
wnieh 1 have been attached from youth.
Age, physical condition, aud considera
tion tor the interests of my family, de
mand it of me; bull shall ever feel
proudly grateful to the generous and
noble people who have so often honored
mo with their confidence and support.
It is not without diffidence and dis
trust that 1 have submitted my name as
a candidate for the Judgeship of the
.Superior Court of ibis Circuit. Pure
and impartial justice, aud a firm admin
istration of tho laws, demands the high
est qualities of the head and heart. I
can only promisd an honest and constant
endeavor to discharge faithfully the
duties ol the and to preserve the
sanctity and dignity of the position so
long, so well, and so worthily filled by
the late lamented Judge Ilolt—the
model Judge.
Relying upon the active ami generous
support which the brave soldiers residing
within the Circuit have ever given me,
ilud upon that confidence with which
the people have so often honored me, 1
tiust to your active sympathies lor sup
port, at the,election on Wednesday, the
2d day of January next.
Your fellow citizen,
Wm. Gibson.

Important hew Invention !
AUSTRALIAN CRYSTAL,
SINGLE AND DOUBLE VISION
SI FSOTAOIjBS
llic Only Perfect Lens in Existence!
Superior to any other iu use—constructed
in ttoi’cordanee with the scienoc and philosophy
of i at ure in the peculiar form of a (’ONOA VO—
CONVEX ELLIPSIS. Admirably adapted to
tho Organ of Sight, and perfectly natural to
tbe cye t affording altogether tho best artificial
help to the human vision ever invented.
Sold only by tho Professor of Optics and
Fjectacle Manufacturer.
THE ADVANTAGES of these Spectacles
over till others, aie—
l*t. The only true Lens known, being per
fectly free from chromatic light, so well known
to be the cause of injury to the vision, and
which makes the change from Spectacles to
Glasses of stronger powers, so often required*
while both near and distant objects are seen
with equal facility through the same Glasses.
2d. Can be worn with perfect ease for any
ength of tuno at one sitting, giving astonish*
ng clearness of vision, particularly by canule
or other artificial light—comfort to the Spec
tacle wearer hitherto unknown.
3d. When the eyes ache or pain through the
action of a bright light, such as is reflected
from snow, sunny weather, white paper, and
in reading, writing, or sewing, or vivid colored
bodies, these Lenses, by softening tbe rays,
effect n| most agreeable sensation and give
great relief.
4lh. Iu all nervous affections of the eyes
causiug dull and startling pains in the eye
ball or temple, appearance of luminous
and dark spots in the atmosphere, aching
<»r feeling like sand in the eye, the disturbed
nerves are quieted and soothed.
6th, Ground by peculiar machinery, got up
at great cost, mathematically calculated ex
pressly for the raauulucture of this Lens, so as
to produce it with the true spherical accuracy,
ana its focus is at tho exact centre, a point
of vital importance, aud which no othor Lens
possesses.
6th. Proof of Superiority over tho old kind
of Spectacles. They arc used exclusively at
all the hospitals for diseases of the eye, in
Berlin, Prussia, and elsewhere.
TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
From M«diual gentlemen, Professors of the
highest Opihulmic tuieut iu Augusta, Ga., and
iu the Union :
Augusta, Ga., December Bth, 18GG.
I have examined tho Glasses of Dr. Bern
har It, and find them of good quality. His
testimonials are very numerous and «xceed
iugly flattering. L. A. DUGAS, M. D.
Augusta, Ga., Dec 7, ISfifi.
1 do most willingly bear my testimony in
favor of the superiority of tho Australian
Crystal—single and double vi9iou spectacles—
over all other kinds. They are constructed
upon the best established and understood prin
ciples of optics, and their adaptation to the
ftu < au eye in its different conditions of vision
is so perfect, as to render sight easy without
effort. Iu my opinion, none others should be
used, since the eyes once used to those do not
#»ecm to grow old, and by having a focus at
any point of the surface, they appear to re
store the eyes to their youthful energy.
LEWIS D. FORD, M. D.
Augusta, Ga. Dec. 7, 1886.
1 have examined a great variety of Glasses
manufactured by Professor M. Bernhardt, and
iu justice to the Professor, must say that his
Glasses arc of a superior quality, adapted to
meet the wants of almost every eye, where the
vision is in any way imperfect. The Professor
selected for luo a pair of his Australian Crystal
Glasses, which are of a very superior quality
and workmanship, rendering vision very dis
tinct, almost us perfect as in youth. I yield
this testimony in favor of tho Profossor’s
Giussos most cheerfully.
C, C. PRITCHARD, M. D.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7, 1866.
I very cordially recommend Prof. M. Bern
hardt to all who may require Glasses.
DkSAUSLUre ford, m. and.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7, 1866.
We have examined the Lenses of Professor
Bernhardt, and consider them superior to any
we have seen. They are admirably adapted not
only to improve the imperfections of impaired
sight, but to relieve the weariness of vision
which constant study produces. Many of the
Glasses are of new and ingenious contrivance.
Me cordially recommend the Professor to all
those who require scientific optical assistance.
li. 11. BIGNON, M. D.,
JOHN U COLEMAN, M. D.
Augusta, Ga., Doc. 7, 1566.
The Glasses inspected by me are apparently
perfect iu workmanship and iu their apapta
ti«n to the particular diseases and con
ditions for which they are intended.
W. 11. DOUGHTY, M. D.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 8, 1866.
I have examined the Glasses of Dr. M.
Bernhardt, of Europe, and have tried them.
They are very remarkable for their beauty of
workmanship, and for their power to assist the
visiou. Dr. AL Bernhardt has made Optics
the study ot his life, and is evidently most
thoroughly acquainted with the science.
lie is a native of Berlin, Prussia, and has
studied there, but has for several years been a
resident of New York. Tho diseased and aged
will find great relief from tho use of his Glasses.
1 have seen numerous testimonials to tbe ex
cellence of his Glasses, and to his skill as au
Optician, and I would recommend him to all
whose vision is impaired either through age or
disease. JOSEPH R. WILSON,
Pastor l irst Presbyterian Church.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 8, 1866.
I have exam ; nod Professor M. Bernbardi’a
very complete assortment of Spectacles and
Lenses, aud find them admirably adapted to
remedy such imperfections of vision as cau be
benefhled by tLo skill of the Opticiuu. The
material used iu tho manufacture of his Glasses
is oi remarkable purity and beauty, and adds
very much to their value. 1 recommend him
with great choertulness to the confidence of
all who may require his services.
W!l. 11. CLARKE,
Rector of St. Paul’s Church.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 8, 1866.
T can recommend with entire confidence the
1 yo-Glasses and other expedients lor assisting
impaired vision, of Professor M. Bernhardt’s.
The nit chan leal execution of his work is very
beautiful, and tho excellence of his Glasses
unsurpassed. After personal inspection and
use, L can truly say that I bave'uscd nothing
which assists impaired vision more perfectly.

Pastor of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church.
