City Election. —lt will be seen, by reference to the list of recently elected Municipal Officers, that several of the late officers have been re-elected. In fact, there have been but few changes. Among them is Isaac Levy, Esq., Oity Sheriff. This gentleman, is a wor thy and efficient officer, and has held this position for a number of years, satis factorily to Council and creditably to bitnself. Our old friend, James Mullen, St*, it gives us no little pleasure to an nounce, has been re-deftted Keeper of the City Hall., A more faithful and attentive officer can not be found ; and every Council recognizes the old gen tleman's merits by keeping him in a position which he so honorably filis. May he long live to enjoy the honors which he so well deserves. Mr. W. D. Tant, the Keeper of the ~ City Hospital, is the son of the late worthy and respected Keeper, Wm.

The police bore the frail and fallen Lizzie to the guard house, where, we trust, a little reflection on her erratic habits will have a salutary effect. New Boot and Shoe Store— Messrs. E. F. Blodgett & Cos., will open on Wednesday next, at 279 Broad street, one of the best selected stocks of Boots and Shoes ever brought to this market!

Outrage.—As a daughter (about six years old) of one of our citizens, on Friday morning, was goiug to a neigh bor's house, she was accosted by a negto girl, who politely addressed her, saying r “Sissy, your ear rings are loose—let me fix them for you.’’ The little girl yielded. But instead-of se curing tke ear rings tor the little girl, the sable damsel secured them for her self, and then took to her heels, saying, at the same time, “I ain't got no time to fool wid you, Sissy.” The negro was arrested and recog nized by the girl, aud brought before Justice McLaws for trial. County Court.—ln this Court, yes terday morning, Judge McLaws pre siding, the following cases were dis posed of: Charlotte ms. Stallings, application for habeas corpus to recover a daughter of the former, a child of thirteen years of age. It appears from the evidence that the plaintiff parted from her daugh ter some eleven years ago; and now comes to Augusta from Columbus to recover her. Hence the application for the writ. The, Court will give its dfe cision on Tuesday next. A colored man, charged with cheat ing and swindling qnother colored man, by attempting to piss upon him a brass coin for u S2O gold piece, was bound over.
