This action will, no doubt, be sustained in the Senate, and the Columbia A Augusta Railroad thus receive the benefit of capital tb the amount of SIIO,OOO. This will, of itself, secure the completion of the Road The subscription of SIOO,OOO, or, if preferred, a loan of that amount, by the City Council of Augusta, will secure its completion to this City, aud the location of its depots anl machine shops here. Dr. Bernhardt. —People who have any affection of the eyes, no matter of what nature, which prevents their seeing as well as they might wish, should not fail to visit this celebrated optician, at his office at the Planters’ Hotel. A life-long study of this peculiar branch of surgery enables Dr. Bernhardt to tell at a glance the nature of the defect: and the great discoveries which he has made ensure a speedy remedy. t Tiik Southern Opinion.—' This is to he the title of anew literary and politi cal journal about 1o be established in Bidiniond by H.

FvtlHY tnf.T.FcK.— Th*s follow \ n now fully organized in operation with a Faculty as follows: J. It. and lumiß3, 1). 1)., President and Professor of Moral and Mental Philoso phy and Belles Lettres; A. Means, M. S I)- 1)- A U“ H-> Emeritus Professor Nikural Science; Rev. L. M. Smith, A. M., Professor Greek Language and Lit' eraturc; Rev. G. \V. VV. Stone, A. M. Professor Mathematics; Rev. Josiah Lewis, Jr., Professor ijatin Language and Literature; \V. B. Sfiaw, A. AL. Superintendent Preparatory School, In the language of tho *epoft, of ihe Committee ou Education, made to the Georgia ’Conference daring its recent sesssion : “It will be seen that this old and favorite Institution has again entered fully upon its work ofeducation and offer* facilities for a complete collegiate course of Study, This is done under Circum stances which strongly emphasize its claim to the favorable consideration, especially of the Methodiht public. The faculty, most of whom have long beeu connected with the College, have held their position, to the detriment of their own personal interest, and now at the earnest request of the Board of Trus tees, with no hope pf a monetary eqtiiv aleut for their labors, consent to’give to the College their time, their talents and their reputation.” As is generally known, Emory College is lbcn’ted at Oxford, a very pleasaut and healthy village, on the Georgia Railroad, about lorty utiles below , iAt licit t . There are, we believe, several voung men, in our city, who are now preparing for College, and the attention of these the writer would respectfully invite to the educational advantages offered by his Alma Mulct' —advantages that are at once shown iu the names of the Faculty. Dr. Thomas, the President, in his Conference speech, said : “The country needs men—that is, just now, hergreatest want. Send us the boys, and we will give you the men,” Not Crelhhle.—lt is said that the increased price of bird seed, is measu rably accounted for in its having come so generally into use by so many of our Indies,’ for the purpose of improving their form. A religious contemporary says : “It seems by the manner of its use it will deceive the most wary. It is said to he inclosed in small bags adapted to the proper size and shape, attached in some peculiar way to the underlining so that at the motion of the body the bagged bird seed moves so as to resent ble very much the living flesh.” Wiped Out.— The ex-King of Hano ver, under advices from England, has released his subordinate officials from tbeir allegiance to his throne and Ins house. His kingdom is no more one of the kingdoms of the world. Bismark has wiped it out. - New York Herald. And is it to be so with the States of the South ? Is it to be recorded that Radicalism has wiped them out ? Pause Bismarks of America, before you com mit so fatal an error. Tribute of Respect. At a meeting of Gazelle I l ’. E. A H. Cos., held at their Ilall, on Friday night, the I4th instant, the Committee pre viously appointed, V. W. Smythe, (). F. Gregory, and E. R. Rowley, sub mitted the following report, which was unanimously adopted: preamble and resolutions.

Hetnh-ed, That in token of the es tceai iu which we bold the memory of our late brother Fireman, that tho Compuny wear tho usual hadgo of mmining for thirty days, and that the Hall, furniture, Reel, and apparatus, be draped for six months. Kenolved, That his name bo con tinued on our roll, and a blank page in the miuutc book bo dedicated to the memory of COLUMBUS E \STERLING. Uetolved, That- a copy of- these reso lutions be transmitted to bis family, signed by the Committee and attested by the Cap taip. ftnolved, That these resolutions be published in one of the daily papers of this City. 11.

Opkict: PA*ti.Y t'nrss*, I Augusta, (Ja., Dec. 15, ISCG. j At the close of our Inst report there fleemed to he more life ruanifestod in trade than there bad b**eu for Home time previous; hut during the week ending to-day, we are obliged to report a falling off. Reports reach us from every quarter of stagnnn l an,| our merchants Jiave failed to realize tlifir iwitldjj.atioijs of a brisk winter trade. The prfTiHpal part the* done during this week has been iu a retail way; wholesale transac tions have boon limited. l omiug with thie decline of business is a still further reduction in the pricea of Bacon, Lard, and Com. Cotton, however, has not been so affected, hat, ou the contrary, considerably revived, and has risen with a feverish rapidity. The demand has also been much better than for some time back; and were it. not for the great scarcity of money, much more business wonld be transacted. In the compilation of these Trices Cn.rent, we have endeavored, so far as possible, to have our quotations ou actual sales, and having carefully reviewed the market, we that we can coiili deiitly refer you to the table of quotations. It ehoutd be borne in. mind that our quo tatioiis represent wholesale prices. Small, bills, to Planters and others, are filial at a shade higher rates. FINANCIAL. Money not only continues to be scarce, but is growing worse and worse day after day. In conse quence of this paucity of money, securities (ex cept strictly first class) have been exceedingly dnll of sale; in fact, concessions have been made, to effect s«b s, at even less than our quoted rat"s. New York Sight Exchange is checked by the Banks at par. Out door rates if to per cent discount. Thirty Day Bills are taken at M per cent, discount; Sixty Day Bills, at per cent discount. But little is done in IJncurrent Bank Notes, and quotations are considerably off. For a full table of reference, s t; e table. Stocks and Bonds are but slow sule. Specie, after taking a sudden start upwards at the dose of last week, has, since then, steadily declined. When We close our report the fuliowiug are Brokers’ rates: (mid, buying 1 fit) Hold, selling . 1 42 Silver, buying 1 33 Silver, selling 1 40 PROYISIOXS. It will he seen by the following remarks that many of the principal articles of trade have again met with a heavy decline. BACON—Has suffered a more severe tumble thau any other article. The market is dull and drooping, and we note a full decline of at least 2c. per lb. on Shoulders and Sides. Hams, which have for so long a time held their own, are from 5 to 7c. off on former figures. The demand is but limited, and we quote Shoulders at ; B. B. Sides, 13b4)13>5c.; C. R.

In a spirited oolloqnv on the w - ord white, in the Nebraska Constitution, Mr. Sherman would not go behind the enabling act. They had authorized white people from that State, and it would be unwise to violate the agreement. He adds that the deliberate proposition made to the Southern States last session was a very grave and serious proposition. If the Southern States accepted the proposi tion, it should be carried out. If they accepted the .Amendment, he didu’ dream of refusing their a .mittance. However the Amendment disappoints some Senators, the people-would hail its adoption as the most joylul thing since Lee’s surrender. He was grieved that the President and Southern States were unwilling to accept it, hut they would change. Mr. Sumner denied the iinaliyt of the Amendment. The issue made by Mr. Sherman is considered very important here. The Committees are hard at work this morning, but nothiug has transpired. A party of Congressmen, Senators, and newspaper tneti, have accepted an invitation to visit New Orleans during the holidays, over the through road, via Grand Junction.
