The iiuuioilinlo taus* of the <lo»th of this l imouU'il Prclato waalho rupture of an import...! blo.al vossol noarthe heart. Such, at least, Is the opinion of those Post able to «ee, tint lor the strange event. The burial service upon his tvn.a.ns wasperfortneJ in Savsmtah.it> the loii.-a j ntf order. Just before eleven oVlock, A. M., on Christmas Jar. thej were taken from his late residence, proceeded br tour Stirpliccd Priests, attended by the appointed pall-bearers, consisting of two clerical members of the Standing Committee in surplice ami stoic, the Wardens and Vestrymen o! Christ Church and the wardens of St. John’s and St. Paul’s Churches. Savannah, all on foot: and followed by the immediate relatives of the deceased in carriages. At the entrance gate of Christ Church, the body wss met by five Priests, who went “before it into the Church,” the Rev. 0. H. Coley, Assistant Minister of Christ Church, saying : “ 1 am the re aurrection, vie., etc. The united choirs of Christ and St. John's Churches, then sang very effec tively the funeral anthem, “ Lurd, let me know my end,” etc. The pro per lesson having been read by the Rev. Mr. Pinkerton, Rector of St. Paul’s Church. Savannah, the words : “ I heard a Voice,' etc., were sung to an appropriate melody. Prayer was then offered by the Rev. W. C. Williams, and the hymn. “I would not live alway,” sung by choir and congregation. A procession was then fortnod to at tend the remains to the Laurel Grove Cemetery, the officiating clergy lead, ing, the others ranged oil cither side, or immediately behind the hearse, all on foot, aud in surplice and stole. These were followed by members of the “Georgia Historical Society,” also on foot, and a long line of carriages. As it passed along the streets, the bells of several churches were successively tolled, aud the pavements filled with sympa thizing spectators. The Rev. Mr. Pinkerton repeated Iho opening sentences, as the body was finaliv borne to the grave ; and while it was “made ready to be laid into the earth," a number of male voices sung the words, “Man that is born of a woman, etc.” The Rev. Mr. Mcßae, Rector of St. John’s Church, Savannah, used the “form of committal,” substituting for “b-other" the words “venerated father in God ” The Rev. Dr. Henderson said the sentence, “I heard a Voice, etc.,” and the Rev. Mr. Coley read the con cluding prayers. After the work of j interment was completed, the hymn j ‘'Rock of Ages” was sung, and the Rev. Mr. Williams dismissed the sorrowing I assemblage with the “Blessing of Peace.” The solemnity of the closing rites, and the hushed stillness of the vast | multitude surrounding the grave, left an ! impression upon mind ami heart which no one present i3 likely to forget. It was a noteworthy incident, to all who remember the life-long interest of the late Bishop of Georgia in the welfare of our black population, that ten colored men, communicants ol St. Stephen’s Church, Savannah, were allowed the honor of lifting the heavy burial case, whenever it became necessary to move it from place to place, and thus testily their sense of obligation to that faithful friend and adviser, to whom, as a con gregation, they owe 30 much. Beginx'.no to She. —The Albany Evening Journal, u strong Radical paper, observing the dangerous, bead long tendency of Mr. Stevens, in bis leadership in the National Legislature says with considerable force : “There is a great and growing dan ger that, in carrying forward the pro cesses of reconstruction, a tendency will be constantly exhibited to go fur ther and faster than the condition- of the country, or the sentiment of the people, warrants. The electors of the North have decided, and rightfully decided, that the Governments of the Southern States are not Republican in form, and that they should be made conformable to the Federal Constitu tion. This is a state of facts resulting from the condition ia which these com munities were left by war, . and the action contemplated is justifiable only in view of the emergencies which were created hy war, and the action contem plated is justifiable oniy in view of the emergencies which were created by war, and the power that war conferred. Rut in recognizing the existing prerogatives of Congress, the people did not intend to confer power upon it to remodel lhe Government, reconstruct all the States of the 1 j nion, or revolution!/.*: tin; sys tem upon which it has thus far been maintained. If Thud. Stevens nnrl his followers thus interpret the decision of the laio elections, it will not take them long to discover that they have made a supreme mistake.” We agree with tlie Buffalo Connner mercial Advertiser that it would have Been wiser in the Journal, il it had taken this moderate tone of policy earlier in the day, Indore the men whom it now condemns had grown into such prominence ami influence in tiic party. But we hail it now as ait able co worker in the cause ol moderation, conciliation, and prudence, for which we have always earnestly labored.— Vha.rlt.don News, Dec. 27. —Au English paper says : A well known author has lately made a prison his temporary home, to be enabled to giv : bin experience ot life in a jail.” Municipal Election*. I We have heretofore urged upon the ! City Council and the people, the pro | priety of extending the term of -(lice ol , the Mayor and Members of Council. This policy, the City authorities hav” it in their power now to inaugurate, and we respectfully suggest that the election Ordinuure be so amended us to extend the term of office ol the Mayor tt „d Council both. We know that this idea, as well as that of an extension of the term of officers under Council were favorite ones with Mr. Gardiner, when he held the office of Mayor, and they wore to constitute a part of his official 1 [hi ict. We do not know how the present Mayor vnd Members of Council stand upon this question, but we can see no reason why they should object to the proposed plan. It will enable the Conn' cil to carry out its policy more effectual ly and successfully, aud will avoid the cotruption of too frequent general elections, and will always secure good men for office. Wo are well aware that the present Mayor and Council tire men eminently suited to the position ; and if they could hold their offices lor a number of years it would be well for the community. But who can tell w hat changes may take place ? what party contests may arise? and what unfit men may take their places? Let us, therefore put good men in office aud,keep them there. The present Mavor and Council, unfortu nate] v for the good of the community, cannot legislate themselves into power j any longer than for their original term |of office; but they can legislate lor future elections, and we hope that they j will not fail to do so. The Legislature 1 i Georgia has given them the authority I in an act approved February 28th, ■ which is as follows : AN ACT j To authorize the City Council of Au gusta to change, alter, equalize, or create new Wards in said City, and to change the mode and manner of the Election of Mayor and Councilincn of Augusta ; and also to change and in crease the fees and salaries of any of the officers in said Citv, and the terms and times of their election. Sec. I. The General Assembly of the, State of Georyia do enact , That the City Council of Augusta shall have power, at any time, to create, change, alter, and equalize the Wards in said City, and to provide the mode, manner, and time of elections of Mayor and Members of the City Council thereof; also, to change or increase the salaries and lees of any of the officers of said City, elected, or to be elected by said | City Council, at their discretion, and to fix by Ordinances the. terms aud times of said officers’ election. This is amply sufficient to enable them to effect the necessary change, and it should be effected. It lias been sug gested to make the term of office four years; and, on the other hand, to have three terms —electing one third of the Council every three years, which would always keep some experienced members in Council. Either one of these plans would secure the desired object; and if is to be hoped that one of them will be adopted. They have been approved by some of our most experienced and thoughtful citizens, and, we are sure, will be by the whole community, when properly tested. We need not elaborate the subject any lurtlier. It is worthy of serious consideration and adoption. The lolly o! frequent elections has been fully de inotist rated in our national affairs. Let us drop them in our municipal affairs, and try the more effectual system ol long terms with efficient officers, [communicated.] Professor Stratvinski. Mr. Editor: Permit me, as an act of simple justice to a courteous and de serving gentleman, to refer briefly to the dancing school of Prof. Strawinski, which has for some weeks been in pro gress at Masonic Hall. 1 have been au observer and a patron of dancing schools in the city for several years, and greatly prefer Prof. Strawinski’s style and mode ot teaching to any that I have ever seen. Ilis great aim is to dcvelope the form and cultivate the manners, rather i ban to teach mere fancy dances of questionable character and tendency’ He is himself a gentleman of culture, haviug been bred in tbe best circles of Hungary in her better days, anti is so pleasant and winning in his manners as at once to secure the interest and regard ot his pupils. His school, I believe, ta > recess until after tbe holidays, when anew term will open, and all who wish to take a course of lessons in this polite accomplishment should avail themselves of the opportunity. * Thuth wii.i. Out.—Once upon a time a nobleman gave a great supper. While the guests were at the table, two maskers came into the hall, who were no larger than children of five or six years old ; one personated a lord, the other a lady. Their dress was as splendid as could be, and they danced very skillfully, to the great diversion of the guests. Every body said they could not admire the dexterity of those polite children enough. Then an old officer took au apple and threw it between the dancing couple Suddenly the lord and lady rushed after the apple as though frantic. In the •struggle they tore off' each other's masks, and behold 1 instead of children a couple of monkeys. All the company at the tabic laughed heartily, hut the old officer said very gravely : “Monkeys and tools may dress themselves splendidly, Init the day soon comes when it is known who they are.” Gifts von Education.— ln a single issue ot one ol our exchanges we note a donation to New York University of t? 100, bull ", to Harvard I uiversity ol $ I .'>0,000; and to Yale Oullege of *IOO,OOI) —a total of $400,000. ts the sons of the Puritans tire cute in their devices for making money, it cannot he denied that their munificent eoutribu lions to public charities of every kind are worthy of imitation. Shopping. It ia a mistaken notion to suppose that ladies always go “shopping” for the pur|Hwe of making purchases. Plea sure, amusement, exercise, needed alike for their physical good and their mental comfort—the desire to see uud be seen, to gossip a little with their female friends, and to chat with the “handsome voting gentleman behind the counter’ — not unfrequently take them on a round of shopping. Let us look into one of our dry goods houses on a bright pleasant morning. Every thing looks neat and inviting. The goods on the shelves are systemati ealiv arranged, counters well dusted, show cases and windows tastefully deco rated with glittering finery and dazzling with radiant colors. The “knight of the yardstick” has just stepped in from breakfast. Look at the tout ensemble. “made up regardless of expense,” of the gentleman whose business it is to wrap up pins and needles, nud measure off cambric and calico, for angels in crino line. Ilia coat is the very “latest style, ’ bis linen faultless, his neck-tie perfect, boots polished tike a mirror, every hair on his head in its right place, the ends of his carefully brushed and well oiled moustache stand out at the proper angle, and from “top to toe” he is the btau ideal of a dry goods salesman. A lady enters; with Chesterlieldian politeness and grace he salutes her and awaits her orders. An article is called for and quickly transferred to the coun ter, but before a word can bn said in praise of its beauty and cheapness, another, aud still another, and now three or four together, until the house is alive with tillers and waterfalls, and the salesman's ears are greeted with calls for a dozen articles at once and the same time. Soon the shelves are bare, and the counter piled with silks and satins, laces and lawns, borages, and bobbinels, muslins, poplins, cballies, cambrics, calicoes, corsets, hoop skirts, kerchiefs, slippers, halmorals, cuffs. I collars, and a score of other articles i needed or used lor feminine adornment. And now, amid a chattering equaled only by that of an aviary, begins tbe work of inspection. Each article is examined—some hastily, others close!v. This is too common, that too dear ; this rather light, that a shade too dark ; this io i gay, that too sombre. “Mr. Smith,” says one, “offered me this very article at five cents less in the yard “and Mr. Brown,” says another, “has a piece of this goods much prettier and cheap erand so they go on, pulling aud hauling at this and that thing, praising one, finding fault with another, passing judgment upon all. A few purchases are made—a paper of pins, a bunch of tape, a yard or two of ribbon, and one by one, or in a body, as if moved by a common impulse, tbe “dear creatures’’ turn from the counter, and with a slight nod of the head and a short “good morn ing,” vanish out of the door. What a change comes over our sales man now ! There is a dark frown upon his face, and naughty words issue fr,,m those lips so lately wreathed with plea sant smiles. He casts a hasty glance at the contents of the drawer increased by the addition of a few dilapidated frac tional notes, proceeds to refold his goods and restore them to their places, to be again overhauled bv the next comers, and as he works he growls and grumbles, and mutters something about “trouble for nothing," “women hard to please," and so on. Aittkm us Wai.d's Threshing Ma chine—My wife’s a exceedingly prac tyeal woman. I luv her muchly, how ever, and humor her little ways. Its a reeklis falsehood that she hen-peeks me, and the young man in our naborhood who said to me as 1 was distendin my distrain with a gentle cocktail at the village tavern—-who snid to me in these very langwidge, “Go home, old man onless you want another teapot throwd at you by B. J.,” probably regrets hevin said ii. I said, “ Betsy Jane is my wife's front name, gentle youth, and I permits no person to allood to her as B. J. outside ol the family circle, of which lam it principally myself. Your other observations I scorn and disgust, and I must polish you off” He was a able bodied young man, and, removin' his coat, lie inquired if I wanted to be ground to powder? I said yes, if there was a powder grindist handy, nothin would ’ford nte greater pleasure, when he struck ine a painful blow into my right eye, eattsirt me to make a rapid retreat into the fire-place. I hadn't no idea that the enemy was so well organ ized. But I rallied and went for him in a rather wigris style for my time of life. His parents lived near by, and I will simply state that fifteen minutes had only elapsed after tlie first hit, when he was carried home on a shutter. His mamma met the solemn procession at the door, and after kcerfully looking her oft'-pring over, she said, “My son, f see how it is distinetually. You’ve been foolin around a thrashin machine. You went in at the place where they put the grain into the thingamyjig nud let the horses tread on you, didn’t you, my Son?’ The pen of no living orthtir could describe that disfortuuit young man’s sitiwation more clearer. But I was sorry for him, aud I went aud missed him till he got well. His reg’lar original father Imd been sent to the war. 1 told him I'd he a father to him myself. He smilt a sickly smile, and said I'd already been wuss than two fathers to him. —The death of a rcmakable ltabbi of the Jewish Church of Germany is an nounced. M. Prank was a native of Wilms, horn in the year of 17f>8, so that lie had attained his one hundred and eighth year. At that advanced period of life he was without any of the iuliriunties ot old age; his hearing was perfect; he read without spectacles, and took long walks up to the last, week of his life. Freedmen Emigrating Almost every paper wo take up eon tains some reference to the "emigration of freedmen to Elorida or the West, i his results in part from the disappoint ment of the tree I people at the results of the last year’s labor, but chiefly from the ability of the owners of the fresh lands of those localities, to pay more than those who lid our thin soil think they can afford. We regard this drain upon our industrial resources a great misfortune. The amount of labor is entirely inadequate to the proper culti vation of the soil, and development ot our mining and manufacturing resour ces, and every laborer we lose is an actual drain upon our productive capac ity. We should, therefore, be tolerant of the caprices of the freed people, and not ullow tln-ir temporary discontent to render us indifferent to their retention among us. They are the best laborers available, and under rational control, are, we believe, better suited to our sun and soil than any on earth We, there fore hope, that our planters will look well to the future, and determine whether they can best afford to increase the wages of their laborers, and thus retain them, or allow the present tide of emi gration to go on, which must inevitably render labor scarce and thus increase its cost. The discouragements ot the past, great and depressing as they have been, may yet be overcome, it we car. get a stable Government and a good crop year.

TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDATIONS From Medical gentlemen. Professors of the highest Opthnimic talent in Augusta, Ga., and in the Union : Atgcsta, Ga., December Sth, 18flti. I have examined the Glasses of Dr. Bern | hnrdt, and find them of good quality. ilia testimonials are very numerous and exceed ingly flattering. L. A. DUGAS, M. D. At GtSTZ, Ga., Dec 7, 1865. I do most willingly bear my tes'.inmiyin ! favor of the superiority of the Australian ; Crystal—single and double vision spectacles— | over all other kinds. T hey are constructed | upon the best established and understood prin ciples of optics, and their ada) tatiun to the hu oan eye in its different conditions of vision : is so perfect, as to render sight easy without I effort. In my opinion, none others should he us-cd. since t lie eves once used to th use do not Seem to grow old, and by having a f„cus at any point of the surface, they appear to re si-.re the eyes to their youthful energy. LEWIS D. FORD, M. I). AT'GtTsTA, Ga. Dec. 7. ISS6. I have examined a great variety of Glasses manufactured by Professor M. Bernhardt, and in justice to the Professor, must sav thal his Glasses are of a superior quality, adapted to meet the wants of atmust every eye, where tho vision is in any- way imperfect. The Professor selected for me a pair of his Australian Crystal Glasses, which are of a very superior quality and workmanship, rendering vision very dis tinct, alines Perfect as in youth. I yield this lose ■ favor of the Professor’s Glasses mos; tvo u'.iy. C. C.' PRITCHARD, M. D. Aggi sta, Ga., Dec. 7, 1856. I very cordially recommend Prof. M. Bern hard; tv who may require Glasses. DbSAUSsUKK ford, m. and. Avgistv, 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 relievo the weariness of vision which constant study produces. Many of the Glasses are of new and ingenious contrivance. We cordially recommend the Professor to all those who require scientific optical assistance. 11. 11. BIGNON, M. 1)., JOHN L COLEMAN, M. D. TV. H. DOUGHTY, M. D. WM. 11. CLARKE, GREGORY DUGGAN. ArcrsTA, Ga., Dec. S, 1866. I have examined the Glasses of Dr. M. Bernhardt, of Europe, and havo tried them. They are very remarkable for their beauty of workmanship, and for their power to assist the vision. Dr. M. Bernhardt has made Optics the study of hts life, and is evidently most thoroughly acquainted with the science. Hois a native of Berlin, Prussia, and has studied there, but has for several years been a resident ot New \ork. The diseased and aged will find great relief from ihe use of his Glasses. I have seen t timorous testimonial* n> the ex t ellcnco o’ his Glasses, and to his skill as an < ptician, and I would recommend him to all chose vision is impaired either through age or and sease.
