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 time honor* 1 1 greetings peculiar to the Opening your.

Therefore it is the duty of those who on; blessed with Steady incomes, to be merciful to thos who, from any cause, may be in want.

Such lmve peculiar c*l:»im. upon the considerate bounty of the benevolent. In alt ages, ibis has been the period for the exercise of the offices of kindness urd charity. If the oM year has been marked by errors, let them be corrected ; if !»v vices let them he abandoned ; if by wrongs, let them he forgiven, and let' the new year inaugurate an era of re form and good fellowship. We have been triml by common suf ferings—beset bv common dangers, and depressed by the apprehension of com mon calamity in the future. Therefore let us sink considerations of malice, revenge, or selfishness, in the loftv resolve t;' v’se above *'l.s that beset and signal •.«* the opening ye *.r hy i th. exercise «*f those sterling virtues make ns proud ot tho history of pur ancestors, and which u <* the surest guarantees ot happiness in the future.

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.

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.

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 ren have a pleasant way of greeting ’ their friends of the interior press, in ! evidence ot which we reproduce the following paragraphs from the iScws and Mercury of yesterday : “We have had the pleasure of greeting Mr. vireuorv, of tin; Augusta Daily Press, who visits thu city on business connected with Iris paper.

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. Th*’ genuine Perry Davb . ’ L. • :•< now put up in pane! bot'lcs, with th° words Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer 1” nin the glass; and with two steel tmgruA ccl labul? «>n each bottle—ono an v \‘client likeness (;t avi» inal tried.ri no, the other a steel engraved note of j hand.

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 liberal and enterprising proprietor.— T> on’ an,,, i, Herat .tdvir/iVr. bold U all Medicine Dealers, de-b —-iu v Planters’ Hotel, LADIEd' ENTRANCE, parlor NO. 3, (Second Floo».)

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. 11. 11. BIG NON, M. D., JOHN L. COLEMAN, M. D. W. H. DOUGHTY, M. D. WM. li. CLARKE, GREGORY DUGGAN. 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 1 ptician. a%d 1 would recommend him toV-l y> !h >c vision is impaired either through age or disease.
