THriISPAY MOKNIN<* J»o. 3. 1867
THE I* % 11. V CKKSS.
An Anniversary.
We are mUoeaU"* ot the ol'si’fvane*
of nnmver«»iip». We think that reli
jjions nnniv.-manea nbould be Mrietlv
observed. Thev iiicrram* the fervor ami
sincerity of religion* fiith. National
unnivef*arim should, aUo. Ih‘celebrated.
They serve to increase patriotism and
keep alive national tervor. And so
should social antiivt rtnri**. s«> h as
birth days, etc., be remembered and kept.
They serve to strengthen family affection.
l.et us take care to observe the nnniver
saries then ; and among those, is the
anniversary of the establishment of the
lUtt.Y l'atss.
Twelve months a<ro, to day, we com
mmeed the publication of this paper,
as a frbo circtdafinc journal, as an ex
periment, and it has succeeded beyond
our most sanguine anticipations.
It was sent around daily, gratuitously,
among the people, until it became to
them a necessity. Its little pages were
principally devoted to advertisements,
but there was always room enough for
well-written editorials, local news, and
the gist of passing events. There were
no ponderous articles, no lengthy com
munications; but everything was concen
trated, done up iu the smallest packages,
and so tilted lor those who had no time
to pore over the heavy dailies. Gratified
with this popularity, we desired to enlarge
and improve the paper, but to do this,
required the necessity of an outlay which
its free circulation would not warrant.
Our friends advised us to make it a
subscription paper: and upon this wc
determined to make the proposed im
provements, and to put the subscription
price at such a rate as would barely
cover the costs of the enlargement,
and yet enable all classes of the
people still to enjoy the privilege ot
reading a daily paper. Hence, on
the Ist day o( October last, we enlarged
the paper to its present size, and fixed
the ] rice at the almost uotuinai sum of
Five Dollars per Annum. But here a
new difficulty confronted us. The old
established Dailies of the Citv suc
ceeded in keeping us out of the tele
graphic news for some time, until a
difficulty between the Associated Press
of New York City and its General
Agent, secured the establishment of
anew Association, and to us the tele
graphic News. This now places the
Daily Pkess on an equal footing with
its cotemporaries, so far, at least, as
regards the news ; and we do not fear
to challenge a comparison with the
large Dailies of the City and of the
State.
In our Telegraphic columns is to be
found the very latest news from ai!
parts of the world, up to the hour of
going to press. In its general news
columns will be found the cream of
the current events of' the day. In its
commercial columns are to be found
full reports of the Augusta Market, and
reports of all the principal markets of
the Union, both by mail and by tele
graph. iu iu miscellaneous columns
will be always found a great variety,
embracing wit and wisdom, prose and
poetry, original and selected. In this
connection, we may be pardoned for
congratulating' ourselves and our read
ers on the poetical contributions which
grace the columns of the Daily Press,
from such writers as Miss Carrie Bell
Sinclair, on- 1 of Georgia's best and
sweetest poetical writer*, “L'lnconue,”
another graceful and charming writer,
“J, Evans F„” and others of equal
merit. In our local column, we have
the latest and most reliable news. In
the Editorial Department, we do the
best we can, and are willing that that
Department shall stand upon its own
merits before the people. Suffice it to
say, that the polity of the paper is con
servative and conciliatory—not wedded
to any particular party or measure, but
earnest in its advocacy of active meas
ures, and in Us opposition to “masterly
inactivity,” and useless vituperation.
We recognize the fact, in its fullest
extent, that we Os the South are a con"
quered people; that, when we appealed
to the arbitrament of the sword, and the
decision was against ns, we lost all power
to dictate terms or conditions to the
conqueror. iiow best to regain our
constitutional rights and our proper po
til ion in the Union, is the great question
to he decided now. Vituperation and
abuse of those in power will not accom
plish it. A “masterly inactivity,” sit
ting down patiently and with arms fold
ed, or like Micnwber. “waiting lor soim
thing to turn up,” or somewhat like the
Hindoos, for the Juggernaut Car of
Radicalism to run over us, will not ac
complish it- Iu our own judgment, the
best policy is to appoint (State Commas
sioners from every Southern State,
whose duty it shall he to repair to Wash
ington City, and there cn 1-avor, with
the ai l of tie- IV -i lent, t , mike good
terms lor the Si tlh. II to accomplish
them it be nec-Mury to eat! State- Con
ventions, h i. them he called promptly.
Rut we think a Convention ol the South
rn Coverte : , ml ndelegation from lh"ir
number to Washington, would h • just ns
efficacious and equally as satisfactory.
If there were nobody hut hale, hearty
men and penurious up dilators to suffer,
it might do to stand -.till and abide lit
issue: but we must remember that the
mothers, sisters, daughters, wives, and
children of the So lit ice nth-tin: irom
the present unfortunate n t■ 1 1 * if p diticui
a Hairs. Their sufferings mat p! ad
trumpet loiigued to us to put nside our
Bell-pride and obstinacy, and to move
lorward for the relief ol onr beloved
scclioU oi the Uu.ou. Re would adviay
uo action that would bring reproach or
dishonor upon our people; but We believe
that our policy is the best—that we must
meet Kadualism oh some half wav
compromise ground, that will restore
peace, quiet, and prosperity to the whole
country, enable business to more on in
its aecustomed chan oris, and all of our
gicut resources to be fully and profitably
developed. At nil events, the object is
worthy of n» honest and persistent
effort, nml the experiment of a sincere
and honest trial. If we then fail, we
will, at least, have the proud conscious
ness of knowing that the fault is none
ot ours.
In conclusion, we may he permitted
to reveri to the original subject of this
article—the anniversary of the Dal Y
Pkkss. One year ago our little bark
was launched upon the waters of Public
Favor, and its first voyage has been
satisfactorily successful. Prospering
breezes, in the shape of a generous
public patronage,have waited it smoothly
along, and the harbor ot Popular Ap
proval It is been reached. May we not
hope that its second and tuttire voyages
will be even more prosperous and sue
ccssful ? The experiment las been
tried and succeeded ; the little bark has
been safely launched and safely com
pleted its first voyage, thanks to a
generous public. To be ever worthy of
the favor and patronage of that public
will bo the constant endeavor of the
proprietor.
/ The Hebrew Race.
The liberalizing tendency of the age
is evoking a more tolerant consideration
for this prescribed people than formerly
prevailed, and we cannot, perhaps, pre
sent a more instructive and timely
column to our readers than is em
braced in the following interesting facts
concerning the Hebrew race. Our He
brew friends will find, perhaps, some
items of interesting information iu the
collation:
“The history of the Hebrew is, in
many respects, one of the grand episodes
of modern civilization. We cannot but
wonder at their persistent and eveutualiy
victorious struggle against implacable
persecutions, instigated as well by re
ligious hatred as by a desire to become
possessed of their great riches ; their
force of expansion, which led them to
emigrate to all parts of the known
world ; the concentration in their hands
of a large part of international trade;
the tripple agency—l, of an admirably
special aptitude for trade and finance;
2, of sounder notions of the power of
credit, at a time when unproductive
concealment and hoarding were the
methods of saving ; 3, the exclusion, by
the laws of countries which tolerated
their stay in them, front ali active em
ployment ; the adhesion to their religion,
notwithstanding the incessant endeavors
to proselyte, which were often strength
ened by the secular arm ; the not less
determined retention, in the land ol their
exile, of the manners, customs, and
traditions ot Judea; their refusal to mix
with the races by which they were sur
rounded; finally a certain vitality, su
perior to those races which enables them
to be readily acclimated in all [tarts of
the world.
* * * * *
Their sobriety has always been
known ; intoxication is rare—habitual
drunkards can hardly he found. We
see here a practical commentary on the
saying of the celebrated Haller, that by
far the larger number of those who
were noted for tlieir longevity were
sober and lived plainly.
******
The Hebrew population in the differ
ent countries of Europe, is estimated in
a table before us, to he 3,61)2.E12 —
Prussia not included. Russia contains
the largest number, 1,425,784. Next
comes Austria, 1.048,174. 'J bird on the
list is Poland, 5D9.K75. England shows
45,000, and Ireland, the lowest figure
of ail, being only 322. The National
Almanac for 18C4, sets down the He
brew population of the United States at
200,000. this is an estimate evidently
not too high.
The late war was not wanting in
illustrations ol Israelitish bravery and
devotion displayed in the service of the
South. Many fell gallantly on the field
of battle, and settled their faith with
their blood. Louisiana, we believe,
furnished an entire regiment, and
Charleston, New Orleans, and other
Southern cities, furnished hundreds of
Hebrew soldiers, and millions of Hebrew
wealth, to carry on the war, which
terminated so disastrously for them and
for us all. —Richmond Examiner, Oct.
YMh.
Executions Amonii The Jews. —The
Hebrews have no executioner. When
a man was guilty of homicide, the ex
ecution developed on the next kin, by
the right of blood revenge ; in other
cases criminals were stoned by the
people, tin: witnesses setting the ex
ample; and when the King or chief
ordeted a person to lie put to death,
the (.flice was performed by the person
to whom the order was given, and this
w..., generally a person whose considera
tion in life bore some proportion to that
of 'he person to he slain. Thus. Solomon
gave the commission to kill Jonh, tla:
commander in-chief, to lleniah, a per
of so much distinction as to he him
sell immediately promoted tothecum.-
m a lid winch Joab left vacant. In fact,
the olliee, even of a regular executioner,
is not by means di.-hoiiorahlc in the East,
The post ol ( hie I executioner is in most
Oriental chics, one of honor and dis
tinction.
'lion when there was no executioner,
it tame to he considered an honor to
put a distinguished person to death;
mid, on the oilier hand, the death in.elf
w,i.. I,oleiiable in proportion to the lank
of the person by whom the blow was
inflicted.
if was the greatest dishonor to perish
b, the hands of a woman or a lave.
Vic nee this feeling distimtly in tli
narrative where the two Prince* much
preferred to die by Gideon’s own hand
than that of a youth who had obtained
no personal distinction. As the hero
commissioning his son to perform this
office, it was perhaps, partly, to honor
him with the distinction of having slain
the chief enemies of Israel, as well as
that the rules of blood revenge made it
noceitsnry that the execution of those
who had slain his own brethren should
either be performed by himself or a
member of his own family. It seems
very probable from all that transpired,
that Oreb and Xeob had slain the
brethren of Gideon, after they had taken
them captives, the same way that they
were themselves slain.
Goon llauits or tub Jews.— lt is a
subject of remark in London that the
Jewish inhabitants ot the Bast-end have
escaped almost unscathed during the pre
valeto of cholera in that quarter. Only
three or four cases ol cholera have taken
place, and the cases of diarrhoea have
hardly exceeded those of an ordinary
summer. A similar exception was ob
served in 1849, when the Hebrew com
munity only lost about one in 2,000, as
compared w ith six in 1,000 of the gene
ral population of the iufeeled districts.
Then, as now, the immunity was as
cribed to certain observances and habits
inculcated by the Jewish faith.
For example, the houses of all Jews
undergo a thorough cleansing once a
year, and every room is lime-whited at
least ns often; more than one family
never occupy the same room (two or
three or more families occupy a single
room among the lower orders of the
surrounding population); considerable
care is taken with respect to the quality
of the food used, tainted provisions
being proscribed, and all flesh meat
being inspected by a religious officer
before being consumed ; and, finally,
the poorer members of the community
are liberally cared for through the
benevolence of the rich, applications
lor work house relief not being allowed.

PERRY DAVIS’
: .
VEGETABLE
STILL TRIUMPHANT !
A ND AFTER A THOROUGH TRIAL
by innumerable living witnesses, has
proved itself to bo
THE MEDICINE OF THE AGE.
Although there have been many medici
nal preparations brought before the public
since the first introduction of Perry Davis’
Vegetable Pain Killer, and large amounts
expended in their introduction, the Pain
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 merits, as the proprietors have
not resorted to advertising to gain for it the
rank i» now holds among the great number
of preparations of ttie present time. The
efiect nf the Pain Killer upon the patient,
when taken internally in cases of Colds,
Coughs, Rowel Complaints, Cholera, Dys
entery, and other affections of the system,
has been *ruly wonderful, and has won for
it a name among medicinal preparations
that can never be forgotten. Its micccssin
r»iin>v ng pains, as nn external remedy, in
cases of Rums, Rruisos, Sores, Sprains,
Cuts, Stings of insects, and other causes of
suffering, has secured for it such a host of
testimony, as an almost infallible remedy,
that it will he handed down to posterity as
one of the greatest medical discoveries of
tin; nineteenth century. The magical of
fcctfl of the Pain Killer, when taken or used
according to directions, are certain. You
have » uly to be sure that you buy the
genuine article and adhere to the directions
in its use, and you will admit its wonderful
medicinal properties.
The genuine Perry Davis’ l'ain Killer is
now put up in panel bottles, with the words
Du vis’ Vegetable Pain Killer blown in the
glass ; and with two steel engraved label"
on euch bottle—one an excellent likeness of
Perry Davis, the original inventor of the
medicine, the other a steel engraved note of
hand. None others can he relied upon as
genuine. Prices »f bottles 12$ cents, 25
cents, 50 cents, and sl, respectively.

sands o! persons, were they called upon to
do so, would cheerfully testify that they
have used it for various ills, with the most
satisfactory success. It is within our own
knowledge that an immense amount of suf
fering luiß been relieved by it. Its pro
prietors. Messrs. Perry Davis & Son, save
no pains or expense in order to satisfy the
fuhlic. Lieing strictly honorable men, they
observe the utmost uniformity in the man
ufacture of their celebrated Pain Killer.
The materials «*f which it is composed arc
carefully selected —none but the hot quality
being used. By these means the high repu
tation which the Pain Killer has long since
acquired is, at all times, triumphantly sus
tained. In view of these facts, we are by
no means surprised to learn that Messrs.
Davis & Son’s sales are constantly and
rapidly increasing. While we congratulate
our friends generally that so valuable a
preparation as the Pain Killer is placed
within their reach, wc must be permitted to
rejoice at the well-merited success of its
liberal and enterprising proprietor.— l*rov\-

LATE OF BERLIN, PRUSSIA.
Important hew Invention !
AUSTRALIAN CRYSTAL,
SINGLE AND DOUBLE VISION
SJPECTACIjES
The, Only Perfect Lens in Existence !
Superior to any other in use—constructed
in acccordance with the science and philosophy
of nature in the peculiar form of a CONCAV’D—
CONVEX ELLIPSIS. Admirably adapted to
the Organ of Sight, and perfectly natural to
the eye, affording altogether the best artificial
help to the human vision ever invented.
Sold only by the Professor of Optics and
Spectacle Manufacturer.
THE ADVANTAGES of these Spectacles
over all others, are—
l«t. The only true Lens known, being per
fectly free from chromatic light, *o well known
to he the cause of injury to the virion, and
which makes the change from Spectacles to
Glasses of stronger powers, so often required,
while both near and distant objects ar«- seen
with equal facility through the fame Glasses.
2d. Can be worn with perfect ease for any
length of time at one sitting, giving astonish
ing clearness of vision, particularly by candle
or other artificial light—comfort to the Spec
tacle wearer hitherto unknown.
3d. When the eyes acbo or pain through the
action of a bright light, such as is reflected
from snow, sunny weather, white paper, and
in reading, writing, or sewing, or vivid colond
bmUes, these Lenses, by softening the ray*,
effect a most agreeable sensation and give
great relief.
4tb. In all nervous affections of the eyes
causing dull and startling pains in the eye
ball or temple, appearance of luminous
and dark spots in the atmosphere, aching
<»r feeling like sand iu the eve, the disturbed
nerves are quieted and soothed.
sth. Ground by peculiar machinery, got op
at great cost, mathematically calculated ex
pressly for the manufacture of this Lens, so as
to produce it wiib the true spherical accuracy,
and its focus is at the exact centre, a point
of vital importance, and which no other Lena
| possesses.
j fith. Proof of Superiority over the old kind
j of Spectacles. They are used exclusively at
; all the hospitals for diseases of the eye, iu
Berlin, Prussia, and elsewhere.
TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
From Medical gentlemen. Professors of the
highest Opthalmie talent in Augusta, Ga., and
in the Union :
Augusta, Ga., December Bth, 18fi6.
I have examined the Glasses of L'r. L’ern
! hardt, and find them of good quality. His
testimonials are very numerous and exceed
ingly fluttering. L. A. DUGAS, M. I>.
Augusta, Ga., Dec j, 1866.
I do most willingly bear my testimory in
favor of the superiority of the Australian
Crystal—single and double vision spectacles—
"ver ail other kinds. 1 bey are constructed
upon the best established nr.d umh ritood.prin
ciples of optics, and their adaptation to the
human eye in its different conditions U vision
is so perfect, as to render sight easy without
effort. In my opinion, non*) others should bo
u.-e-d, since the eyes once used to those do not
stem t - gr-'\v old, m. I y having a locus at
ai y point of the surface, they appear to re
store the eyes to their vouthiul euergv.
LEWIS D. FORD, M. 3).
Augusta, Ga. Dec. 7,
I have examined a great variety «»f G hisses
manufactured by Professor M. Bernhardt, and
in justice to the Professor, must say that his
Glasses aro of a superior quality, adapted to
meet the wnuts ot almost every eye, where the
vision is in any wav imperfect. The Professor
selected for me a pair ol his Australia!! Crystal
Glasses, which are of a very superior quality
and workmulishi p, rendering vision verv ciis—
! tinct, almost as perfect as in youth. 1 yield
this testimony in favor of the Professor’s
Glasses most cheerfully.
C. C/ PRITCHARD, M. D.
Augusta, Ga.. Dec. 7. 1866.
I very cordially recommend Prof. M. Bern
hardt to all who may require (Hasses.
DeSAUSjsUKE FORD, li. 1).
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7, 1866.
Wo have examined the Lenses of Professor
Bernhardt, and consider them superior to auv
we have seen. They are admirably adapted not
only to improve tlio imperfections of impaired
sight, hut to relieve 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 scien lfic optical assistance

GREG OR Y DUUU AN.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 8, 1866.
I have examined the Glasses of Dr. M.
Bernhardt, of Europe, aud have 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 ot his life, and is evidently most
thoroughly acquainted with the science.
He is a native of Berlin, Prussia, and has
studied there, but has for several years been a
resident ol New York. The diseased and aged
w ill find great relict (run. the use of his Glasses,
lha esuen numerous testimonial* to the ex
cellence of his Glasses, and io his skill as an
Optician, and I would ree*mmoud him tvtll
whose vision is impaired either throug* age or
disease. JOSEPH U. WILSON,
Pastor First Presbyterian Church.
Savaxnaii, Ga.. Nov. 29. 1866.
I hereby certify that Mr?. Davenport has
been affected with Ainorouffis for about two
months ;it became almost complete On the
2d of November last, according to my own
advice, she placed herself under the charge of
Dr. M. Bernhardt. Her vision has rapidly
improved Mie can now road small pr?2>
with or without glasses.
J URIAH HARRIS. M. D.
I fully endorse what Dr. Harris has above
said. \Y. N. WARING, M. D.
Savannah, Nov. 26, 1666.
Projector M. Bernhardt , Optician and Oculint •
I cheerfully state to you that a further ac
quaintance, with you and your most excellent
(Hasses, has confirmed my first impressions as
to your »ktli unit their superiority over the
general run, and I recommend ’all whose
visiou is in any way impaired, as mine unfor
tunately is, to avail themselves of your science.
Respectfully, yours,
R. D. ARNOLD, M. D.
