We are indebted to flic courteous
att< ntion of the effiicient Clerk of

Esq., fi r a copy of the above pamphlet.
It is a well written uttd neatly printed
document.
Burning of Vauci.use Factory.—
We alluded briefly on yesterday to the
destruction of this valuable property by
fire on Friday morning. The lire was
discovered in the sth or upper story, in
or about the dressing room. The attic
and roof were in flames in a few minutes
alter the alarm was given by the watch
man. Ihe mill and machinery was
entirely destroyed.
The Vauclu.se Factory was situated
on llorse Creek, three'and a half miles
Irani Graniteville, utnl was the property of
Win. Gregg, jr , and Jos. J. Gregg, E.sqs-
It was a fine granite structure, and con
tained 4.000 spindles. It had long en
joyed high repute lor the character of
its fine yarns and doth, and had recent,
ly been furnished with new machinery
from England, at a very heavy outlay.
One hundred and fifty hands were em
ployed, and at least three hundred and
fifty fifty persons are left dependant by
th.s calamity The factory was insured
for $147,000, and the loss bevonj insu
rance will not exceed SIIO,OOO. We
understand that insurance companies,
represented by Messrs. Marshall, Brod
nax, McOav and Evans, share the loss.
Da. Bernhaldt.—We are informed
by Dr. Bernhardt, the eminent Opti
cian, that he positiv ly cannot remain
in Augusta beyond Thursday next.
His stay has already been prolonged
to the detriment of engagements further
South, and be /eels compelled to leave
us. Our cizens who have neglected,
up to this time, to secure his services,
should do so imme liately.
The following letter from a distin
guished citizen of Augusta, Ga, to
Prof. Bernhardt, testifying to his profes
sional ability, is certainly deserving of
more than passing attention :
Augusta, Ga, Jan. 4, 1837.
I take great pleasure in saying that
the glasses, I have obtained irom Prof.
Bernhardt have giv-n me eve y satisfac
tion. I verily believe them tar superior
to any I have used before.

New Men. —The Richmond Whig
has a leading editorial advising the
people to give up the ohl politicians. It
says: “We are biginning anew era,
and must have tie v ideas and new
men.’’ The article is significant, and
attracts general attention.
True, —The National Inlelligsncer
srys truly that it is not the Unionism of
the so-called “loyalists” to which the
Southern people object, but their base
ness. The honest and consistent Union
men of the South are every * here re
spected.
Which is it?—“Hermes,” the Wash
ington correspondent of the Me cury ,
says the Democracy are out ol heart
and despair of making headway against
the oath bound organization of the Re.
publicans.
In another letter, of recent date, he
says the backbone of the Republicans is
weakening.
A Descent Upon Lower California.
—We hear it stated that J. Ross Browne
will leave California on the Ist of Janu
ary, at the head of an exploring and
surveying party to commence operations
in Lower California, for a company of
Americans who have purchased that
extensive territory ol the Jaurez govern
ment. The parties interested in the
operation are sail to be General Ben.
Bailer, Richard Schell, of New York,
Geo. Wilkes, of the New York Sjjint of
the Hon. Holliday, of overland
mail route renown, and several New
York capitalists' It is uuderstood that
the exploring party will be of sufficient
strength to he able to enforce their claim.

Washington Jan. 4.
The bill repealing tho 13tb Section of the
bill to suppress insurrection, etc., was taken
up. An ameudinent was proposed 1 6 repea*
the entire act.
lieverdy Johnson spoke elaborately. lie
bad urged the executive to issue a general
amnesty. Some of the first jurists of the
country, many of them Republicans, and
some of the best English jurists, expressed
the opinion that the moment belligerent
rights wore granted, the commission oC
treason was impossihlo. Speaking of Mr.
Davis* trial, lie said, no matter whose fault,
it was a blot on American civilization that
the prisoner was retained. Should he die
the nation would be responsible.
The amendment was lost, and a bit! re
pealing the 10th Section was passed by a
vote of 27 to 7.
Washington, Jan. 5.
Brig. General S. Q. French, of Missis
sippi, a graduate of West Point, has been
pardoned. It is said that yesterday’s re
peal of the amnesty section will not affect
the President’s clemency programme, the
best legal talent declaring that the Constitu
tion gives him tho power, and that the
section repealed was originally a mero Con
gressional flourish.
Washington, Jan. 9.
The Senate is not in session. The House
is doing nothing but listening to.speoches,
Stevens having tho floor. He was sharply
catechised with regard to the non-finality
of the amendment. He said ho voted for
tho admission of Tennessee, but would vote
for n o other. State, without negro suffrage.
Northern States disfranchising negroes
should blush.
It is stated that Stevens will* introduce,
on Monday, a resolution instructing the
Judiciary Committee to a bill de
claring the Southern Districts in a state of
siege, suspending the writ of habeas corpus,
and providing military governments until
the States are regularly admitted.
The Veto Message.
Washington, Jan. 5.
Tho Veto Message takes strong ground,
m iking the poiut that Congress has no
power to force nogro suffrage upon any
State, Territory, or District It has not yet
been made public. ,
Revenue I'ruuds.
Washington, Jan. 5.
The Committee on Revenue Frauds aro
here, but will return to New York in a few
days. They report, frauds of the most as
tounding character as regards number and
amount. Many of them so cunningly
covered as to be past finding out. The
Committee say their labor is endless, and
they recommend reduced rates, so as to
reduce temptation.
Dcuih of an old Officer.
Washington, Jan. 5.
Robert Broom, long in tbo Clerk’s office
of tbo Supremo Court, is dead.
Tlte Arkantai Delegation.
Washington, Dec. 5.
Part of the Arkansas delegation visited
Mr. Stevens to-day. The interview is de
scribed as somewhat frosty. Mr. Ste\cns
asked many questions, and enquired of the
visitors if they had soeu his Enabling Act.
Ho furnished a copy and advised them to
study it, as it would bo the policy of Con
gress. At least, said the ruler of tho Radi
cals, it is the policy which I shall support.
The interview closed with an invitation to
call to morrow. The Arkansas delegation
found little to comfort thorn in Mr. Stevens’
words, .tone, or manner.
Mr. Rice, of Maine, was also visited. T’e
received his visiters very politely, and
ta'ked quietly of the condition of the coun
try.
The dinner nt Mr. Reward's is described
as a brilliant affair. In addition to the
delegation and their host., Secretary Brown
ing, of the Interior, and Col. Seward were
at the table. Tbe conversation was gene
ral and the dinner very good. During tho
evening, every member of tbe Cabinot and
(lon. Grant visited tiie delegation in Mr.
Seward’s parlors. The conversation was
mainly p ditical, but of a non-committal
ill iraeter.
Gen. Grant expressed himself moro heart
ily than is bis custom, hoping for speedy
res'oraliou of political and social relations.
The members of the delegation were much
encouraged. They find affairs more bupo
ful than they expected. Without receiving
absolute assurance from any member, they
are satisfied that tho Cabinet is a stubborn
unit in opposiiion to Itadiuul measures.
They have no doubt of violent action in
Congress, but they say the Republican
party is by no meuns a unit, and they have
confidence in restraints more potent than
two-thiid rules and Presidential vetoes.
The reduction of a sovereign State to the
condition of Territorial dependency, they
think is repugnant to law, justice, and the
Constitution, aud should the Radical policy
find two-thirds of Congress in its favor, it
wilt find a potent cheek in tho Supreme
Court.

Grain Swi.ndlks ix Chicago.—The
Chicago 'Jitccs contains a scathing ar
ticle on tho rascalities practiced by the
grain dealers ol that city. That paper
accuses the warehou-emen of keeping
two sets of scales, by which they ste >1
when grain is received uud when it is
shipped ; of tampering with i spectors to
cheat tlic farmer or country shipper out
of his proper grade; of mixing grades
after they are received ; and of making
false returns of tho difference in the
price of the different grades. In fact,
il half the Tinu» says is true, the grain
dealers of Chicago are an arrant set of
knaves, who ought to he iu the peniten
tiary. The editor cu’ls upon the anti
monopoly convention, soon to meet in
Springfield—upon tue Legislature, anil
upon the people, from Cairo lo Chicago,
to unite in one grand protest against
the way the grain trade of ’he entire
Northwest is conducted. If the article
in question does not create a sensation
among the grain dealers of Chicago, it
will be because they are ; roof against
all shame, and willing, for the sake of
the spoils, to be denouuccd as thieves
and swindlers.
The peo| le of the whole i ountry are
interested in the collection of the ev.ls
complained of, for lie have an impor
tant influence in enhancing the price ol
breadstuff's.
Dividends and Iniehest. —The
Tin tea says the semiannual dividends
advertised by the New York banks ex
hibit great prosperity. The highest is
that ot’ Broadway, which announces
twelve per cent.; the Chatham comes
next with eight per cent.: Tradesmen's,
seven and a half per cent.; the Park
seven per cent. The other rates are six
and five per cent., respectively, the only
one below these being the Phoenix, which
pays lour per cent. Os the savings
banks the Fast River yields the highest
interest. The United Slates Trust Coin
pany aud the Farmers' Loan pay each
five per cent.; the Union, four. The
Telegraph Companies have fallen some
what lrom their high estate, the Western
Union proclaiming a modest two per
cent. Among the railroads, tbe New
York aud New Haven, the Michigan
Central, and Reading, severally pay live
per cent.; the Harlem, and Norwich and
Worcester, four; and the New York,
Provideuce, aud Boston, three per cent.
Some lucky concerns figure conspicu
ously with quarterly dividends. The
Bull's Head Bank pays four per cent.,
with two aud a half extra. The Panama
Railroad can boast ot six per cent., aud
the Hertford, and New Haven, and
Fort Wayne, respectively, four and two
and two and a half per cent. The Pa
cific Mail, which has recently paid a
quarterly dividend of five per cent., de
lights its stockholders with a handsome
stock dividend.
What Mean Tkiflls Cost.—The
Rev. F. M. Sharpe, West Hoboken, N.
£. y ill a recent sermon, said :
Luxury may never plead with her vo
taries. Every heart and every purse are
open when the devil presents his entice
ments. Civilized man drinks every year
30,000,000 bottles of genuine and 15,-
000,000 of spurions champagne; or
nearly $200,000,000 worth. Yet the
total expenses of Christian propagation
may he roughly estimated at not more
than that Sura, if half as much. Tobac
co is nauseous to every unsophisticated
sense of inau, «a medicine *s strychnine
is a medicine ; hut, on the highest med
ical authority/ the origin of nine out of
every ten cases of real heart disease,
originated or inherited—a concentrated
drop of whose essential principle, if
placed on the tongue of a dog, will cause
him to die in convulsions. It destroys
tl e power of mastication by draining
the salivary glands, and by its exciting
propensities is the gentleman usher of
intoxicating drink. So long ago as
1830 there were raised in the Uuiled
States 109,000,000, ihs., or what would
now lie equivalent to about $200,000,000
worth, and it is safe to say that the pres,
eut consumption is ueselv3oo,ooo,ooolbs_
Suppose an ordinary case: A business
man uses four, or sometimes many more
cigars a day, worth lo cents each, or sls
or S2O a pound ; this, of itself, leaving
out pipes, chewing tobacco, lost time,
and lost opportunities, at the very low.
est estimate, $250 a year.
Happy Foasth juuhi'.— The clothes of
a little girl, named Eimna Hall, took
fire at the house of her mother in
Charleston the other day, when she run
down siuirs into the kitchen with flames
higher than her head. A man, named
John Hoffman, saw her, and seizing her,
pressed her face lo his breast to prevent
her from inhaling the flame, and suc
ceeded, with the aid of one or two other
parlies, in tearing olf her clothes, aud
saving tlie child's life. All parties were
more or li-ss burned.
