Recorder's Court.—ln this Court, yesterday, a gentleman who left bis cellar door open, contrary to the provi sions of the 16th section, puid £1 and costs for the offence. Mrs. Dash, who had made a dash at a colored woman, who was so much reconstructed that she was nearly white, paid $3 and costs lor her dashing pro jM-nsities. It was all about a dress and a sack which the colored woman had to matte for Mrs. D. The latter sent for iho sack, but did not get it; she felt as though she was sacked, and as she didn’t get the dress, she sought redress. The seamstress, it seems, didn't like things stitched up iu that way, and when she got hemmed up, she didn’t want to be whipped over, or felled to to the ground ; so she reported the ease to the Recorder who settled it as above. A colored gay Lothario, went to his lady love, but in order to permit “a young lady” present to retire, he kindly with drew for a while: and*, on returning, being in spirits of some sort, said he got hold of the wrbng gate. The" con sequence was he alarmed a lady in the neighborhood who called for help. A colored man, who was just returning from the fire, went-to see what the fuss was all about, was tired at, and another colored man who was aroused, wont alter the Police, and, after some diffi culty, succeeded in arresting Jim. Jim was fined S3O and the costs of Court for violating the 18th Section and dis. turbing quiet citizens. A vio ator of the 17th Section was fined $3 and costs. The practice of carrying loaded pistols in the street and shooting promiscuously is getting to be so common that we are gratified to oh serve the course of the Recorder. It is a practice that ought to be broken up.

IVs Aoou«TA Pswc BiAaoL.— This school, we are pleased to learn, Ts in a flourishing condition, umlur.tha manage -oe|.t of Martin VI Crlttn,’ bi.4q., in the Boy's Department, and Mrs. Joaephine Jokca in the Girls’ Department.

Rus sell, hsq., ns Secretary and Treasurer. They contemplate, we learn, having the School building thoroughly renovated during the approaching Christmas holi days. This is very much needed for the ooiutort and I'uoveiiience ol teachers and pupils, and stiould ho Well and promptly done. . This school is an flTiportnut iiutititiou of otlr Cftyj ams has always been an object oj pride aud .eucoiiragcineut with our ckiieiis. It should still be ku. The system ot Common Schools adopted by the Georgia Legislature is so imperfect, if the original bill has been passed, that it will not be operative in (he Stale, at least not in this City. ’We should, therefore, take cane of our own Free Schools, and set to it that the.teachers arc remunerated for their services. The fluid of the Augusta Free School « so Small that it does not afford an ad equate support to the teachers. Would it not be well tor our wealthier citizens to contribute something toward this fund ? The City Council hus always, heretofore, made an annual appropria tion to the same object, and will, we presume, do the same this year. If something of this kind should he done, it would enable the Board of Trustee,, to give the teachers a regular salary which they certainly deserve, and ought to have, instead of the present system of pro rata payments for attendance of scholars. The Principals have adopted for tui tion hours the one session per day system —from 8} o'clock, a. m., to 2 p. m. a system which has been adopted in some of the principal frigate schools, and which has always been found to work well. It gives the children ample time to play and take exercise, a very impor tant consideration, fur there is no little truth in the old saying ‘‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy;'’ and it at the same time lessens the inducements and occasions to pHty truant. The same system ought to he adopted in the Houghton Institute, and we commend it to the consideration of the Houghton Institute Committee of Council. * In conclusion we need only congratu late the Trustees aud patrons of the School in having secured the services ot such competent and energetic teachers as Mr. Calvin and Mrs. Jones. They impart instruction in spelling, reading, writing, mgntal and written Arithmetic, Grammar, Geography and History ; and their pupils show very commendable proficiency in these branches. The people of Augusta should take an active interest in their Free Schools. Locals.— When the sun is smiling in beauty over the City and surrounding country, all nature is rejoicing in the Being that sprung it into existence, and there is a dearth of news in the land—it is raihey fatiguing business—this hunt ing up some occurrence, about which to write a local paragraph, and it becomes the more cheerless and burdensome when the skies are overcast with lower iug clouds, and the rain is falling in torrents; for vmbrilla-less, ye Local must go iu search of these items, ex posed as he is to wind, aud rain, and el cetera s almost innumerable. Will no one contribute to his relief 7 Pastoral. —Rev. George 11. Patillo, the minister recently appointed to the pastorship of St. James’ Methodist Church, arrived in the city yesterday, and will enter upon his official'duties to-morrow. • The late Pastor; Rev. Mr.JCramer, left for Madison this morning.

Gift. —Thursday eve ning, as Rev. George Kramer was leaving St. Janies’ Church Reduce Room, where he had been conducting a Prayer Meeting, he was met at the door by the Sexton —a colored man—who presented him, with a China cup and saucer, which he begged would be accepted by the minister as a slight testimonial of the donor’s friendship aud love. The present is, ,in One sense of the term, of inconsiderable value, yvliich, however, becomes intrinsic, when the Inotive Aud circumstances are duly cou sidered. A Good Idea.— The -Macon Journal rs; Me.tscw/er has notified the Agent of the United States and European Newr Association that he is not only satisfied' with the superiority of Mr Craig « news arrangements, blit thinks it will be a great advantage to have reports differ ent from the other morning paper: lie bps therefore di*olVed his relations with tho Asshciuted Press, und will receive his fepol'U from the new Associ ation. We have no doubt, if the old Association should survive, that the press of the other cities will adopt the policy of the Macon press, a part taking news from one, and a part from the other. In this way, the interest of the papers in every city will he much en hanced with the reading public.
