We shall give full explanations in he j morrow’s paper. ■ • EnctuTiox or SoiJjier’s Chii.dskn. —An appeal in behalf of the education of the poor children and orphans of sol diers, by J. H. Campbell, is being ex tensively copied by the press of the State. He estimates that there are at least 50 000 children of indigent or de ceased soldiers, who 'are not enjoying adequate educational privileges, lhe actiop of the Legislature, providing for common schools does nyt go into opera tion until 1868 ; meantime, these youths are growing up in ignorance. He simply commends them to the considerate care of the benevolent, and instances the noble example of Hon. A. U. Stephens, who, he says has spent nearly all he ever made in the education of the worthy poor. Mr. Campbell appeals earnestly to the people of the State to take up this subject, and not wait for the tardy bounty of the Legislature. He urges toe Ministry to present it to their con gregations, and the press to exert its power, iu enlisting prompt and liberal action. He would remind the people that the latent talent of a Davis, a Stephens, a Pierce, a Palmer, a‘Mercer, or a Mallory, may be slumbering in the brain of many a worthy youth, who needs only the opportunity to fit him to shine as they have shone in the world of intellect. , , The earnest and manly appeal of Mr. Campbell is creditable alike to his head and heart, and, if our space will justify it, we will present it to our readers in a day or two. Keep to the Right.—lt is often amusing to sec persons, in meeting on the street, dodge from right to left to avoid collision. First one eoes to the right, only to be again confronted by the other, who turns to the left. Then turning to the left, the other dodges to the right, and thus a continued see sawing is kept up, as ludicrous as it is unnecessary. If everybody would re member to turn to the right, there would be no difficulty, and the throngs moving up and down our broad pavements would pass along like clock-work. Keep to the right; it is a good motto in nil things, and especially sensible in walking or driving. Cdonty Coukt. —Yesterday. Frank O’Keefe, colored, was brought before Judge Mcl.aws, charged with stealing one pair of shoes, and two hats from the store of Davidson & Cos., nud was hound over to the next Cjunty Court in a bond of S2OO. Charlotte Jones, (colored), vs. Winnie Stallings, Habeas Corpus, at common law, for custody of colored child. Judge McLaws decided that Charlotte was the mother of the child, and as such was entitled to the custody, but the court would not transfer the custody of the child immediately to the mother because the sensibilities of the child would be shocked by placing it at ouce with its mother, a stranger to her, and would hold his judgment as to the time when the child must he transferred—until the first of April, when the child must be produced in Court—child and mother must have free access to-each other. City Ai.xs House. Mid ?Hy of Atlanta has recently passed an ordi nance creating a city alms house, with a Superintendent, whose salary is SI,OOO a year. It is evident that a large portion of the liberal donations* annually dispensed to the poor of this City, coaid be nuare judiciously ex pended through such an institution. We earnestly commend this subject to the attention of our City Fathers. Fibe is Chari.estok.—The building known as the Old Sugar Refinery, in Anson street, was burned on Saturday. It was the property of W. C. Dukes ( and was insured for SIO,OOO. The con tents, consisting of several thousand bushels of grain," belonging to R. H. Riker, were consumed, bet were covered by insurance. John Long had a plumb er’s shop in the building, and saved his stock. Crowded. —lncredible ns it may appear, there are tenements in New York city for one hundred and twenty five and on* hsudrod aud fifty families, which are occupied by at least eight hundred persons. These houses do not contain a single loom having proper ventilation, and are so dark, owing to adjoining tenement buildings, that on a cloudy day the inmates can neither see 10 read nor * e * without artificial light.

No census has been taken since 1861, Wiart Aki> Bt.crx Labor.—A writer in the unreliability of negro labor, sdvise*. planters to “consider the negro sbtol •eMynjri hiye whit* W*r." -« , Writ Wvi» w coW»idir mo* ntiwise and untimely. The argument is, list the negro is not disposed to work, and can not be relied on. There is tot much truth in this imputation against (be freedmen, but uafotieiMgtely for the country, bset&st that it afeo applies in a large measure to the whites. The , vast niunjw»«-*£ somsmmb aarl aid then | <r teat/ than farming, is one of the moat deplorable features of our condition. Our yqflfns and cities- are full of half paid clerks, mechanics, and men with professions, who have been raised on farms, but shrunk from the continuous labor necessay to farm suc ce|efrj]y. qov be too ready to condfeasn the F® Bet him an example Os indOsbry, and give him a fair trial. We candidly believe that if the idle whites of the country will them selves go back to the old plantation fnd take hold with energy, working with, and properly.managing the; freedmen, that ‘they constitute the bast laborers' that can be had foe the sun and soil of this latitude. This was the great argument in defense of slavery. We urged, as a people, that the black was peculiarly adapted to the Sooth, and it was reli giously believed aud taught, even fronf” the pulpit, that Providence had wisely, provided the black tnau to aid in the development of this portion of his heritage. We freely admit that the negro worked much better under the old system than he will under the new, but it does not follow that his labor now can not be made profitable. We should not bfi discouraged by his . temporary Rest lessness, or .by one unfortunate crop y e » r - ' ’ ' ■ liKAVWG Reluctantly.—A South Carolina pnper says that the negroes who are etnmigrating in such large numbers, leave reluctantly, and the writer observes that “a proper effort would doubtless have secured aud re* tained them all.’’ We fear our planting friends do not all properly appreciate the responsibility resting upon them isF this matter. The popular reason for not making an effort to retain the freed’ men is that we cannot afford to pay them as much ns they are offered else where.! The )rue question should be— can we afford to lose them, as laborers. The drain upon our laboring class will unquestionably make JM* higher, and the result will be, our planters will have to submit to an increase of wages at least, or abandon their farms. Are they prepared for the last alternative? If so, then indeed are we in a deplorable coil dirion. The disasters of the last crop year, coming upon our people when they were tired and depressed by the losses inci dent to the war, were indeed dishearten ing. But we may not expect the iiext year to be so unfavorable—and at the present price of cotton we are unwilling to believe that farming cannot be made profitable at the prices usually demanded by freedmen. Therefore we appeal to our planting friends not to allow the weight of past and present misfortune to cause them to part with laborers who are willing to remain on the old sod.— Let it not be said that those who staid faithfully with us during the war, and helped to feed our families, and our sol diers, and are still disposed to remain and help to rebuild our shattered fortunes arc leaving reluctantly for want of em ployment. - ’ • Female Preachers.—Our benighted friends of the “city by the sea” iare, with nil tln-ir misfortunes, favored now and then with a benignant ray from the pale star of destiny. Harlan has recently been there for the purpose of fanning the dim embers of loyalty into iff more fervent heat, ana then they have a few local blowers who are to assist in the good work. The latest beam of civili zation which has been vouchsafed to them is from flic benignant countenances of three Quaker dames from New Eng land, named respectively Miss Sybil Jones, of., Mary Metcalf, of Rhode Island, who rtcentljtreashed the etfy un&sr the care of Dr. Mendenhall, of Greensboro’, N. C., and took quarters at the Charleston Hotel. One of these Apostles, or rather Apostlesses, announced that she would prench at Trinity Church, in the even* ing, and she did preach, to a very |arge j congregation, and judging from the comments of the News, she must be a very fair preachist. Her munner wns cool—she was from 'a cool country, where Byron says the dames arc cooler than they are farther South—her voice clear and distinct, etc., etc., from which we.infer that the News man was deci dedly impressed—though he tries to dis pel the illusion by declaring at the close that the sermon was in no way remark able. Wb should think any sort of a sermon in Trinity Church, Charleston Jcoyn n wandering spinster from ( New ‘Hn’glanfi, was in it Self sufficiently re markable. The world moves. Snop Lif'ting. —The art of appropria tion—as Dr. Hines' used to call it'—is being redneed to a science. Nearly every day we hear of some attempt by freedman to slip goods from tbe counters while several confederates attract the attention of the olerks. A case occurred on yesterday in whTeh several pairs of shoes, and ether goods, were taken from the store of Davidson & Cos. The thief was pursued -and the goods recovered. Merchants cannot he too vigilant, and evem all possible vigilance will mot always avail to prevent the sihernes o* these adroit negroes. TO > MEN AND THE Advancing Community Qcooftlly.

If there be any sech State as Georgia, if there be anything la I colored line'Job which divides Gfeorgta from Alabafoa, if the people living in Augusta have any other legal position than the people the fret timt Georgia is a State, and a different State from Alabama.

Rains upon' the subject of testing soils, manures, etc. The Executive Commit tee were authorized to examine th e Premium List and appoint Committees The Society meets at Rosney Chapel, second Saturday iu February, at T 1 -o’clock A. M. Sixoular Decision. —Tbs Court of Appeal* in the case of Tomppcrt, vs. the city of Louisville, involving the le gality of the last Mayor's election in that city have decided in favor of the plain tiff ; consequently Mayor Lithgrow will havetb vacate. The Courier thinks this decision will raise more important points in connection with the city government during the past year. It is not unlikely that an act of the Legislptnre will be necessary to legalize some of the acts of the city officials. The decision takes the citizens by surprise, for but very few of them anticipated any such result. Morals oe Gotham. —The following suggestive statistics are taken from the anntfil report of the New York Police Department: “Number of houses of ill repute in New York, 721; number of inmates, 2,670; number of concert saloons of bad reputation, 75 ; number of inmates in ditto, 620; drinking sa loons in which female waiters are em ployed, 11; female attendants, 127.” The total shows the whole number of women of known bad character in New York, is between three and four thou sand, * j if* Kt V » f Accommodation Train.— We learn that the citizens along the line of the Augusta aud Savannah Railroad are getting up a petition to that Company to run an accommodation train between Augusta and Waynesboro’. To leave Waynesboro’ at 7 o’clock ,A. M., and arrive at Augusta at 9. To leave Augusta at 5 o’clock P. M„ and arrive at Waynesboro’ nt 7 o’clock. We trust, the people of Waynesboro’ will also move in the matter. A High Old Skater. —Mr. Joseph Cobb,' ninety .five years.old, was one of the skaters on the Muskingum River at Zanesville, on Thursday last. He bor rowed a pair of “dtimpeys,” the. wood of which was cut front the first apple orchard planted in Ohio, at Marietta, and struck out first right, then left. After its fijw turns he challenged a juve nile of seventy to a race, but the banter wns declined.
