ti;nln City Printer -Official Paper r nrrawTuiiox. > i V*. . 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. —N.

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. Valuable Medicine —We presume no medical preparation ever offered to the pub lic h •« been more tin-; _hiv tv-ted tl a » PERKY DAVIS’ I’AiN KILLER. Thou 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\- dtner (jmerttl Advertiser. 8o and by all Medicine Dealers. dc2S—2in* NEW GALLERY OF F I NE A TITS.

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.

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 11. 11. BIG NON, M. D., JOHN L. COLEMAN. M. D. W. ii. DOUGHTY, M. D. YVM. 11. CLARKE, 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.
