TUESDAY MORNING Jan. 1. 18*7 i
"new year s day.
Another year bus boon gathered to
“tho past—the eternal past;** Rtul
another L-bnv taken its place in the
great rnleixlnr of Time. Ihtiti, with nil
its carca mid joys has departed. 1S«»7 j
commences to day, freighted with present |
ami future hopes. Let us hope that I
toll that is good and wise may be]
realized, all that is evil and foolish he j
averted.
ll is an occasion for serious reflection ;
on past conduct, :u»d of good resolutions ;
for future conduct. Let us make good j
use of it for repentance ami improve* j
ment. It. in private life, we have
been remiss let us now resolve to amen
and to commence the new year with
high resolves and faithful promises. It
in public life we have been negligent,
let us determine upon more caretul con
duct for the future. If in our national
at fairs we have been unpatriotic and
ungenerous, let us resolve now* to u- •
nil our efforts to promote re union and
harmony—banish vindictiveness and
vituporatHMi—and secure the peace and
prosperity of the whole country. Let
old fueds be forgotten and forgiven, and
old friendships renewed and cemented.
Let the poor be remembered and pro
vided for. Let all work together for the
general good. 'This will be the best and
the most profitable celebration of this
popular festival that we can suggest, or
our readers adopt ; and it will, we hope,
meet with their earnest approval and
adoption.
The question of harmony and recon
struction is one which affects both sec
tions—the North as well as the South ;
and we cannot forbear the hope that the
festivities of the present, holiday s- ason.
and the suggestions of this day, will
have a salutary effect upon the people of
the North, and particularly of the Mem
bers of Congress, and induce them to
deal leniently and fraternally with the
South.
To all of our readers and friends we
wish a Happy New Year—health, pros
perity, and happiness.
Tr.ko Care cf the Poor.
The severity of the season is sugges
tive of the necessity of providing for the
poor. These are with us. and to take
care of them is an imperative duty
upon those who are bless 1 . 1 with means*
The principal question is, hoar to do this
best? Our Hebrew* tellowci.izens have set
the proper example in this respect, and we
respectfully suggest it for general adop
tion. At present the poor are compelled
J. charity from the City authorities,
a*. 1 the Mayor is burthened with the
dm. if dispensing this charity—a
dutv which more properly belongs to
Charitable Associations and benevolent
iud'viduals. A gentleman of experience
and kindly disposition has suggested
tint tlie City Council, at its first reguL:
meeting in January in each year, ap
propriate u certain amount —say five or
ten thousand dollars prr annum for
charitable purposes, ordaining that this
amount he divided between the fcevera*
religious denominations, who .should ap
point Committees, and these Committees,
with the respective Pastors, should dis
tribute the* money to their needy mem
bers accordim: to their necessities and
the number in their families. Our
Hebrew fcllowr-citzens practice this sys
tern now. We doubt whether a Jew has
ever gone to the Mayor of Augusta tor
assistance." If he or she needs help,
the members of that ancient Faith con
tribute according to their means, and so
relieve the needy member.
We believe that the Catholics anc.
some of the other Christian denomina
tions, practice this policy to a limited
extent; but it should be general, and it
the plan proposed were adopted, they
would be enabled to do much more
good than at present, and with no
trouble to the City authorities who have
enough of other business to attend to.
The latter, wo know, do not object to
the trouble. Our good hearted Mayor
never tires of helping the poor, and o*
devoting his time to consul ring their
applications ami relieving their wants;
hut it is a laborious duty, and if it were
transferred to the proper parties it would
be a "reat relief to him and to others.
We submit the subject to the consul
eratiofi of Council, and hope that they
will take such action in the premises as
will secure the greatest good to the
greatest number of the s'.iff*-ring poor of
our City.
Seasonable Reflections.
We shall enter the home - rele of
our readers this morning, amid the

the duty of those who on; blessed with
Steady incomes, to be merciful to thos
who, from any cause, may be in want.
There are households bereaved by the
war, who are dependant for daily bread
on the little earning* of the children, or

shrink from revealing their necessities,
and who patiently endure the trials of

If the oM year has been marked by

We have been triml by common suf

CARRIER'S ADDRESS
TO TIIK CATRONS OK
THE DAILY PRESS,
Augusta, *ri i., %f>tnu>rry 1. 1807.
Kind patrons of tho Daily I’rkss.
\ greeting to you all,
A. n 1.1 1 the Carrier’.** Address
1 make my morning call.
}‘ut ere I venture further now
To write tin.-* simple lay,
To each and all 1 wish for you
A happy New Year’s Day !
And with the DAily Prkss each morn
You’ll find me at your door,
With all tho richest gems of thought
From learning’s treasured store.
There’s wit for those who relish tun,
And wisdom for tho sago;
There's something that will suit each one
Found sure on overy page.
For those who do not feel inclined
To read the daily news.
Why, hcre’s a column—just the place,
To revel in the Muse.
Thin there’s the latest Cable news—
\ wondrous ikiug, indeed.
To keep up with it one must run
Faster than railroad speed.
’Tis true the Cable’s very fast,
JJ at faster is the tr/e :
And since the Paris fashions nro
This winter all the rage;
Why, if you’d like to know where you
Ciiu find a handsome dress,
With velvet trimmings, bugles, laco,
You’ll Hud out from the Press.
Put then it’s useless, well T know,
To mention such thins? here;
I know you all intend to take
The Press another year;
So a-* 1 would not weary you
I’ll close this New* Year’s rhyme,
Lest you should think that I’ve encroached
Too long upon your time.
Soto you all again I wish
Avery happy year :
Freighted with many a blessing bright,
Unclouded by a care!
And if some generous offering now
Your kind hearts will bestow,
Then Heaven will bless you for the aid
You give tho suffering poor!
Remember, while you gather now
Around the festive heard,
Ye who with more than miser grasp
Your store of riches hoard ;
Upon this joyous New Year’s Day
There’s many a cheerless hearth,
While you may twine tho festive wreath,
And revel in your mirth.
Then crown the New Year on this day
With >onie kind, generous deed
‘ '*f pity for tbo helpless ones
Who may your pity need.
'Twill make each happy heart, I’m sure,
More joyous and bright ;
And Charity will weave for you
A crown of glory bright!
And now, my triends, I’ve ended
The Carrier’s humble task,
May I some little offering
Os each kind patron ask ?
And well I know this bounty
You will not now refuse
To one who, every morning,
Has brought you all the news.
Then gladly on my journey
Another year I’ll go ;
Through all the Summer’s melting heat,
And Winter’s rain and snow ;
And with the Press each morning
You’ll surely find me hero—
Perhaps I’ll greet you with a song
Upon the next New Year.
DEATH CF THE OLD YEAR.
IIV TENNYSON.
Full knee deep lie? tho winter snow,
And the winter winds are wearily sigh
ing ;
Toll ye the church-bell, sad and slow,
And tread softly and speak low ;
For the old year lies a-dying.
Did year, you must not die.
You came to us so readily.
You lived with us so steadily,
Old year you shall not die.
He licth still; he doth not move;
H.j \v ; ll not see the dawn of day—
He hath no other life above.
Ho gave me a friend and a true, true love,
And the new year will take them away.
Old year, you must not go :
. So long as you have been with us,
Such joy as you have seen with us—
Old year, you shall not go.
He frothed his bumpers to the brim ;
A jollier year we shall not see ;
But though his eyes are waxing dim,
An ’ "ugh his foes speak ill of him,

Our Poaition, our Danger, and
our Duty.
NO. I.
To the Editor of the IUII/T Press ;
All must admit that the present posi
tion nt the excluded States ot the South
is ruinous in its effects upon ull their
best interests, and that so lar from the
future promising any ameliorating
change, it only portends fresh calamities
and increased suffering. Every branch
of trade, every species of enterprise
every department id’ industry languishes
or is at a stand still, and poverty alone
grows and spreads throughout the
country.
Under such circumstances, what is the
duty of the people? Is it in their power
to better their condition? Can they
secure pence?
Twenty months have elapsed since
w laid down our arms and abandoned
every hope of achieving separate inde
pendence, We have home our del* n;
with manly resignation. We have ac
cepted the situat: u, with all its hard
; M idi* its, in perfect good faith. We
havi conquered our prejudices and
; adapted t uisclvi st< *»ur altered condi
tion. with th • arnesi desire to prove the
“•’■verity of oe.r professions and our in
teution to fulfill in letter, and spirit, all
the obligations of the allegiance which
we have renewed io the laws and Gov
ernment of the United States: and we
Ltdi vc that we have done everything
that could be reasonably asked to enti
tle us to the full enjoyment of all the
rights, privileges, and immunities which
the Constitution guarantees to the Stales
of the Union.
This is our belief. It is just. We
know that we are sincere. Wo ask
nothing but peace, security, and the
power to manage our own affairs. Hut
the States of the -North to whom we
surrendered in battle, refuse to credit
our sincerity : persist in regarding us
as rebels; misrepresent our acts and ;
words, and designs, and insist on our
.giving, as yet undefined, guarantees,
before they will consent to our re admis
sion into the Union on terms of equal
ity. We have protested, but our protest
has only been treated as an evidence of
our disaffection. We have been silent,
but our silence lias been construed as
sullen defiance. For twenty months we
have been ot\ but not in, the Union. We
have had all the burthens, but none of
the* privileges of free citizens, and we
are now told that not only will those
privileges be indefinitely withheld, but
our Dolitieal existanee shall be destroy
ed, our whole system of State govern
ment be effaced, and that we shall be
compelled tA yield obedience to laws
and rulers, to he imposed upon us hy
our conquerors.
We know that this is cruelly
unjust, hut is there any chance that our
convictions will stay the hand ot those
who hold the sword of power?
We believe that all the schemes which
Congress has proposed for the so-called
reconstruction of the Union, are viola
lntive of the Constitution. l>ut will our
belief change the hearts of the dominant
majority? >hal! we fold our hands and
wait for the blow which is to overwhelm
us, because we know that it will be
unjustly inflicted, rather than try while
a hope remains, to avert and escape it?
We must banish, as utterly delusive,
all hope of “a revulsion of feeling at
the North/’ of which we hear so much
The dominant majority may not lie as
yet prepared to go the full length.to
which Thaddeus Stevens is prepared to
go, but they .are determined to impose
conditions on our restoration to the
Union. To suppose otherwise is to shut
our eyes to palpable fact. There is no
reaction at the North. The tendency of
the people is rather to approve than
comb inn tlie harshest measures of Con
gress ; and there i * tar more probability
that. Mr. Julian’s Territorial hill will be
commended than that Northern senti
ment will approve the unconditional
recognition of our rights.
We must abandon the fatal error of
“passive resistance.*’ Such a course
may flatter our pride, or accord with
our resentful impulses, galled as we are
by insult and injustice ; hut it can do us
no goo I. It is all very well to say that
we can mind our own business, cultivate
our lands, rebuild our homes, and repair
our fortunes, even if we are kept out of the
Union and excluded from political associ
ation with the represented States; hut is
this tr te ? Will Congress allow us to have
even this limited liberty? It. says posi
tively that it will not, and that, with or
without our consent, it is determined to
settle the question as it pleases. It may
not have the legal authority to do this,
bn? has it not the physical power?
What is l" ;•!■ •. •!.■ ’? The Presidetu’g
There is a majority of more than
the i j bred two-ibirds to override every
v*-i i. i iie popular'voice ? It is but a
j few weeks ago that that voice loud!)
'ui: <-i th" C'/iigressionr.l policy and
renewid if.; lease of power.
If is our first duty to endeavor to ob
tain from Congress an authoritative and
definite expression ot the terms upon
\% liieh we can secure peace and equality
in tho Union, tin u t > decide whether we
can or cannot accept them. Let us
avoid ail irritating tuples ol discussion,
all crimination and recrimination, all
threats, defiance, and abusive language.
Let us strive for conciliation by concilia
tory menus, cease to indulge delusive
expectations, and look our danger square
in the face. To stand still and complain
will not help us. We must help our
selves, and the first step is to try to find
out exactly wlmt the North wants. When
we aseertain that, it is time enough to
think of martyrdom or suicide.
X YI.ON.
—The secret of Prussia’s power is in
her military M education—not in the
needle gun.
I l or the Daily I'tnou-I
Jottings by the Way—A Pleasant
Trip from Washington.
Mu. Editor: Having recently re
turned from a hurried visit to the Na
tional Capital, I l»eg leave to offer a
few jottings hy the way. The through
route from Washington, via Acquia
Creek. Richmond, Virginia, Charlotte,
North Carolina, and Columbia, South
Carolina, to this City, is a very pleasant
and agreeable one.
Leaving Washington at 7 o’clock, A.
M., by the line steamer Key fort, Capt.
llolliiigshcad, a whole-souled and thor
oughly efficient officer, after a three
hour’s trip down the Potomac, we ar
rive at A quia Creek. The time was
occupied in viewing the picturesque
scenery which borders the river—the
classic shores of Mount Vernon, and
the grand old slopes in whose shades
the “stray pickets” long guarded the
ou’po. is of both armies. At ten minutes
a ter ten, we stepped aboard the cars of
the Erederieslmrg and Poto
mac Roads—o l which Samuel Ruth,
Esq., a most efficient railroad man, is
superintendent—and in four hours, we
reached the capital of the OM Domin
ion—made historic by the events of the
last five years. It is cheering to ob
serve the almost magical progress that
1 has been made in rebuilding the burnt
district, and the establishment of new
and important enterprises.
The work of reconstruction has thus
assumed practicable shape, and Rich
inond is fast recovering from the rude
>hock of war which so bruised and dis
figured her former lair proportions. At
2.20 we took the Danville Road, under
the charge of Col. Thomas Dodarnead, a
most energetic and thorough-going
railroad man.
Wo arrived at Greensboro’ at mid
night—fit hour for a few sombre
thoughts of the gloomy drama enacted
in this vicinity at the close of the war.
Faking the North Carolina Road, we
reached Charlotte about 5 o’clock. This
; oad is in good order, with courteous
conductors and well-ordered sleeping
cars. Leaving Charlotte by the Char
lotte and South Carolina Road, we
reached Columbia at 1.20 I*. M. This
road is under tho management, of Col.
Win. Johnston, whoso experience and
skill ns a railroad man are widely j
acknowledged. Taking the South Caro- ;
lina cars at 1.40 I*. M., we reached j
Augusta at midnight—forty-one hours ;
from the time of our departure from
Washington.
I feel justified, from experience—
having made myself familiar with all
the lines North —in favorably noticing
this rout**. The time by the route from
Augusta to New York is 47} hours,
it is through a healthy and attractive*
country —affording a view of several
pleasant cities, and a number of noted
battle fields—to which space has prej
vented me from making spf
reference. Travku.kk.
Euatkrns r,. ~ Our Charleston breth

’ their friends of the interior press, in

KILLER
STILL TRIUMPHANT !
A ND AFTER A THOROUGH TRIAL
Ai by innumerable living witnesses, has
provt i i’self to be
TIIE MEDUINE OF THE AGE.
Although there have been many medici
nal preparations brought before iho public
since the first introduction of Perry Davis’
Vegetable Pain Killer, and large amounts
expended in their introduction, the Paiu
Killer has continued steadily to advance in
the estimation of the world as the best
family medicine ever introduced. As an
internal and external remedy, it is truly a
source of
Joy to the World!
One positive proof of its efficacy is. that
the sales have constantly increased, and
upon its own merit?, as the proprietor? have
not resorted to advertising to gain for it the
rank it now holds among the great number
of preparations of the present time. The
eficct of the Pain Killer upon the patient,
when taken internally in case? of Colds,
Coughs, Bowel Complaints, Cholcia, Dys
entery, and other a fleet ins of tho system,
has been Tuly wonderful, and has won for
it a name umong medicinal preparations
that can never be forgotten. Its Mtecessin
removing } a’.i.s, as an external remedy, in
cniM of Burnt. Louises, Sores, Sprains,
Cols, Stings of in.-ects, aud • u r causes of
suffci ing, has secu-.rd fr.r it sucl- a bust of
testimony, as an a >.••.-( ir.fftliibb r.: .rdv,
that it will l»o handi-d. u v.n L> y -t rity as
one of the greatest mcdicai disc-, ’.eric* of
the nineteenth century. The magical ef
fects f tho Pain Killer, when taken or used
ac-’ording to directions, are certain. You
have only to bo sure that you buy the
genuine article and adhere to the lire lions
m its use. and you will admit its wonderful
medicinal properties.

have used it for various ills, -vith the most
satisfactory success. It is within our own i
knowledge that an immense amount of stii |
’ ring has been relieved by ’t It? pro- j

observe tor most uniformity in the man- :
utactt!re of their celebrated Pain Killer, j
Tl.o material- . ! which it is . imposed are
carofuilv selected-- none but the best quality
being used. By there means the high repu
tation which the Pain Killer ha? long since |
acquired is. at ari. times, triumphantly ?«»-
t.viued. In view of these facts, we are by i
no means surprised to learn that Messrs,
jiuvis A Son’s sales are constantly and
rapidly increasing. Wbile we con•.latulate
our friends generally that so valuable tv
preparation as the Pain Killer is placed
within their reach, we must he permitted to
rejoice at th© w©U-meritud success of its

THE ADVANTAGES of tbeee Spectacles
over all others, are—
-1 nt. 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 tbe change from Spectacles lo
1 i ,v?s< v ~f stronger p* wers. so often required,

possesses.

TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
From Medical gentlemen. Professors of tbe
highest Opthalmic talent in Augusta, Ga., and
in the Union :
ArcrsTA, Ga., December Bth, 1566.
I have examined the Glasses of I)r. Bern
hardt, and find them of good quality. His
testimonial? are very numerous nnd exceed
ingly flattering. L. A. DUGAS, M. D.
At*crsTA, Ga., Dec 7, 1866.
I do most willingly bear my testimony in
favor of the superiority of the Australian
Crystal—single and double vision spectacles—
over all other kinds. They are constructed
upon the best established and understood! prin
ciples of optics, ami their adaptation to the
human eye in its different conditions of visiou
; is so perfect, as to render sight easy without
effort. In my opinion, none others should bo
used, since the eyes once used to those do not
seem to grow old, and by having a focus at
any point of the surface, they ©appear tq re
store tho eyes to their youthful energy.
LEWIS D. FORD*, M. I).
AruusTA, Ga. Dec. 7, 1866.
I have examined a great variofy of Glasses
manufactured by Professor M. Bernhardt, and
in justice to the Professor, must say that hi3
Glasses are of a superior quality, adapted to
meet the wants ot almost every eye, where the
vision i- in any wav imperfect, 'j h - Professor
selected for me c. pair of his Australian Crystal
Glasses, which uro of h very superior quality
and workmanship, rendering vision’ very dis
tinct, almost n»" perfect as in y« uth. 1 yield
this testimony in favor of the Professor's
Glasses most cheerfully.
C. C.’PRITCHARD, M. D.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7, 1566.
1 very cordially recommend Pr« f. M. Bern
hardt to ail who may require Glasses.
DaSAUSdUKE FORD, M. D.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7. 1866.
We have examined the Lenses of Professor
Bernhardt, a* J consider them superior to nity
wo have .u. They are admirably adapted not
■ * ly to improve the imperfections of impaired
sight, but to relieve tbe weariness of vision
which constant study produces. Many of tho
Glasses are of now and ingenious contrivance.
We cordially recommend the Professor to all
those who require scientific optical assistance.

Augusta, Ga., Dec. 8, 1566.
I have examined the Glasses of Dr. M.
Bernhardt, of Europe, and have tr>ed them.
They are very remarkable for their beauty of
workmanship, and for their power =o assist tho
vision. Dr. M. Bernhardt las made Optics
the study of his life, and is evidently most
thoroughly acquainted with the science,
j He is a native of Berlin, Prussia, and has
studied there, but has for several year? been a
resident of New York. The diseased and aged
will find great relief from the use of bis (Hasses.
I have seen numerous testimonials to the *x
- ellenco of bis Glasses, and to his skill as au
