Hotel Registers.—We have seen a
specimen of some hotel registers reoetif -.
ly issued from the Daily Press Job
Office, which is decidedly unique in its
way. Oil the margin of each page are
neatly displayed cards of thirty of
our business houses—which will meet
the eye of hundreds of persons daily,
throughout the year. The books are
splendidly printed, and will be credita
ble to the hotels, as well as to the estab
Bailment from which they are issued.
Fire Arms.—A freedinan who was
“fooling” with a shot gun, down the
River, yesterday, accidentally discharged
the piece, tbe contents tearing off a
finger that chanced to be over the
muzzle at tbe time. It was a painful
illustration
“Os the perils whieh environ
Those who triße with cold iron.”
New York Papers.—P. Quinn, of the
News Depot, offers to deliver any New
York daily, to regular subscribers in the
city, on very favorable terms. Quinn’3
has become an institution in the world
of news and current literature.
Excise and ftbamboat.— Messrs.
Beall & Hankinson offer a twenty-horse
power engine, in good order; also, a
small steamboat, on favorable terms.
Corn and Oats.—Those extensive
and reliable dealers, C. A. Williams &
Cos., have a large lot of corn and oats to
arrive, which they are offering, low.
Dancing.—Prof. Strawinski has re
opened his Dancing Academy, at Ma
sonic Hull. He hi endorsed by all liis
patrons as a thorough and efficient
teacher and a polite and worthy gentle
man.
Trunks, Shoes, Etc.—M, Cohen ha*
a variety ol trunks, valises, and carpet
bags; also, boots and shoes for all ages
and conditions of people—all at low
prices.
Receipts or Cotton.—'Tbe Charles
ton Courier gives the receipts ol Cotton
nt all the ports, to latest dates. 788,024
bales, against 951,569 Bam e time last
year.
ifest ly the Oliitfd Buttes authorities
in the education of the colored people
of the South is very proper and com
megrim bie. Indeed, having mad* Ui*m
•ftm, mw4'deprived omAf the pwtec
tion and support of their masters, it if
iooiMuiient oa the Government to B*4
every possible means of preparing them
to support themselves. Education
ameliorating tfceir condition, and prev
paring tlicm for tM boom of citizenship,
so suddenly coulerred. Therefore we
l-nim,.»ml Iby
ftiiivernment Ur the educaiio#
port of the “nation's wards.” While so
much is being done for the blacks of the
South, it worth! be Bpasonable to expect
that the Government would at least
throw no obstacles in the way of tb4
education of the whiles; and we havn
been surprised that the most conimsdi
ous school building in the city—the
Richmond Academy—has been so long
otfrirpted by troops.
The government buildings around the
city certainly afford ample accommoda
tions for the small garrison here, aud it
is difficult to conceive of any good rea
son for tAp continued ppejupfjicy of the
Academy grounds top barracks. It is
true that the necessities of the tvar
caused the appropriation pf the Academy
for hospital purposes. That was a ques
tion of humanity. Indeed,: during the
war many of our. schools were sus
pended, and there Was no special need
of tho Academy for educational pur
poses. We learn that there are teachers
anxious to secure it now and earmsitly
hope that it may be restored to the
trustees, and speedily opened as an edu
cational institution.
Not Hiring.—We learn that the
planters of the vicinity are experienc
ing great difficulty in obtaining lyjnds
for the next year. The rtesuhs of, the
last year were so unfavorable that fneed
men are not disposed to work for a share
in the crop, and the tempting wages of
sered by the agents of Western planters,
have induced large numbers to leave
the State. We wish the freedmen well
—and blame no man for making any
change which betters his condition ; but
it is very questionable whether their
dreams of prosperity in the West will be
realized. The advice of Gen. Howard,
on this point, is very sound ami timely,
and should be brought to the attention
of every freedman who lias the Western
fever. Gen. Howard is the Cbiel of the
Bureau, and has no interest save to pro
mote what he believvs to be the welfare
of the freed people.
A New Humorous Work.—We
learn from a,circular recently received,
that Mr. Wm.E.T>oyle,"tlie spicy Police
Court Reporter, and Town Trifler of the
Louisville Courier, is about to issue a
humorous volume, to bejeptitled• “Til
tereena,” and containing ail the current
jokegof the prevailing fashions, Tilters,
Waterfalls, Rats, Mice, etc., etc., etc.,
together with a Comic Almanac, and
several funny sketches. From. Mr.
Divle’s well-known huinor and literary
talent, we anticipate a capital book in
the humorous line. It will be issued
early in the present month.
Largest Circulation.—For some
time pa3t we have kept the notice stand
ing at the head of oor columns that we
hud “the largest city chrculation."
We did this in no boastful spirit, but
in simple justice to the paper—knowing
that the advertising public would natu
rally enough think the circulation bf the
old papers mightexcel that of the Daily
Press, in the first year of its existence.
The recent contest for the Postoffice
Printing, which required a sworn state
ment of the City circulation, has vindi
csited the truth of oor deckiraiion. This
printing, though unimportant in itself,
is a standing evidence, to the business
public— wji ich canntl be yainsf/id —that
the paper containing it has tho most
readers, and is, therefore, thd best
medium for advertising.
The Daily Press is emphatically the
people’s paper, and being at
half the price of the other pafidrs. it is
useful to everybody. Its circulation is
rapidly extending in the country also.
The truth is, anybody can afford to pay
$5 for a daily D%per, and thousands will
do it, v.-ho would not take a daily at
double the price.
s' Reviving.—There are glimmering
evidences of improving trade during the
last few days, in spite of the decline in
cotton. The weather has been favora
-1?1b, the road* are improving,and wagons
are again to be seen on the Streets.
The receipts of cotton . continue! quite
light, and opinion ip general that
over half the receipts at this,point have
come to market.
Recorder's Court.—There was but
one case disposed of in this jCourt yes
terday. A French gentlemoi! drove his
horse and cart over a grass plat, and
was fined $1 and costs. He offered to
compromise on 60 cents, but the Re
cdfrtet Avas inffxrtrabld, knd he settled up
and left. Several other cases were con
tinued.
Matters in Ireland.^— A Dublin
correspondent, writing on the 19th of
December, represents the city and king
dom of Ireland gtamMlly »s ifill seriously
excited by the Fenians. It is alleged
that tibo agents oT Stephens have under
mined Dublin to a very great extent, by
working from the banka,of the river
Liffey, and that the revolutionists pro
pose to blow up the Castle and either
kill or carry off the Lord Lieutenant.
AUGUSTA HABKETi
' Friday, Jan- 11—-P. M.
COTTON—The market has been
dull, with a declining tend-ncy. Prices
were nominal—324 to fH for Strictito Qood
Middling.
GOLD—DuII and unchanged—3s| to 85.
SlLVfiH—There wee. little demand, the
nominal prloes being 28 to 32—th* former
buying, and the latter' selling ratee by
bMkers.
What Radical Congressmen Said
AT NAEJRTIr,L»—Tfcn reception »t Nash

A dinner was given in the evening that
called together in the large dining.room
of the hotel the representative men of

Union and its glories, Vice President
Foster said that if the reception of this
evening were au assurance of what
they should get elsewhere, the
pectations of their hosts would be
realized.
Senator Wade, when called to his

the resolution, he must confess to a
most agreeable surprise at the cordiality
of the reception.
Senator Ramsay, on being called for,
expressed his gratification at the unex.
pected kindness received at the hands of
the citizens of Nashville, and hoped for
a speedy settlement of all difficulties.
. His remarks Were wafmly received. 1
Senator Lane, in reply to the call for
him, stated that civil war had passed,
and passed forever. The people of the
North and South should unite, as did
their sires,iwhose resources were from
the same ever-springing fountain. His
recollection of this reception should
always haunt the greenest spot of mem
ory's waste.
Ex-Governor Brown, of Tennessee, in
reply, stated that he heartily shared the
sentiments expressed, and did not desire
to discuss the ethics of the recent con
troversy dfebided ‘by at-ms ‘ hot 'he !

General Howard and Representatives
Lafin, Thomas, and Kerr made'speeches
of a similar character, and were most
happy in their efforts, uud greeted with
great applause.
Du. M. Bernhardt Remains One
Days Longer.—ln consequence of the
great number of applications for relief,
and at the earnest request of many of
our prominent citizens, Dr. Bernhardt
has consented to remain in (he City
until this afternoon, at three o’clock.
Persons suffering from defective vision
should call at once at his office, Plant
ers’ Hotel. He is able to give relief
to nearly all diseases of the eye, and to
strengthen and restore the sight of those

them, as the best adapted to remedy
defective vision that have ever been
