Auction Sales.— Messrs. Day & lu
man announce another heavy catalogue
sale of groceries, boots, shoes, clothing,
and dry goods, this morning. Also, at
11 o’clock, a fine pair of mules, wagon,
And harness. These sales are worthy of

Gibson havilig resigned his position

an election to fill the vacancy will

New Year's Calls in Cincinnati.
—A party of gay aud festive young
men in Cincinnati, on new years’ day,
procured a wagon drawn by a pair of
ntuies, and proceeded to make their
formal calls. A valet, in livery, deliv
ered their cards, being a sheet of paste
board 12 by 18 incites in size, contain
ing the names of the party. They car
ried a supply of Bourbon and cigars,
anti reversed the custom of the day by
inviting those on whom the.y called to
“smile” with them.
New Meat House. —Those who have
responsibilities to meat are interested in
knowing that Joint Fay, an experi
enced meutist, has opened a meat mark
et at the corner of Campbell and
Greene streets, where families can be
supplied at all hours with all kinds of
fresh meat and sausages. These estab
lishments are multiplying in that part
of the City, and are proving a great
convenience to housekeepers, rendering
it unnecessary to pay a visit to the
Market these cold mornings.
The Out Shades.—This establish
ment has been reopened by Mr. W. B.
Beavor, an experienced and accommo
dating gentleman, who has supplied his
bar aud dining rooms with all the
modern improvements, good liquors, aud
palatable eatables. The very best of
ales, wines, and liquors can be obtained
there; and also a capital breakfast,
dinner, or supper. Board by the day or
week is also furnished.

Mclntosh streets.

Thr Kki'ohdkh’s Court. —lu this
Court, yesterday, there was a light
docket. A couple ot 10th section cuses
were tried, found guilty, and fined,
respectively, $1 and $lO and costs. A
few other cases were continued.
Steam Ploughing. —A. writer in the
Charleston Courier, alluding to the
steam plough about to be tested in New
Orleans says, that some twenty or
twenty five years ago a steam plough
was invented and patented by Mr. E. C.
Bellinger, of Barnwell district. It was
found to be unsuited to the rough and
stumpy condition of the Carolina lands
of that period, and was littio used.
Very Much at Home. —A travelling
Jeremy Diddler left one of our hotels
the other day without paying his bill,
und when overhauled about it, lie snid
that the landlord made him feel so much
at home, that he really forgot to call lor
his bill. The landlord accepted the
apology and the greenbacks, and hopes
that his good offices may not often so
overwhelm his guests.
Narrow Escape. The Barnwell
Sentinel tells of a family in the lower
part of that district who had converted
a bomb shell, found lying in the yard,
;nto a firedog. One day last week the
missile exploded, tearing things about
the bouse up promiscuously, but strange
to say, inflicting no injury on the family
who were in the house at the time.
Milk for a Pound of Butter.—
Some agricultural experimenter has
been keeping an accurate account with
a Jersey cow, and finds that tour and one
third quarts of milk will make a pound
of butter, the feed being English hay,
corn stalks and two quarts of shorts per
day.
Personal. —We are pleased to learn
that His Honor, Mayor Foster, is rapidly
recovering, and hope that lie will soon
be able to attend to his official duties.
Mr. Estes, in the meantime, “wears
the honors with becoming grace,” and
makes an excellent Mayor pro tern. The
City is fortunate in possessing such able,
energetic, and good hearted gentlemen
to coutrol its affairs.
New Fibric for Thread.— A New
Orleans experimenter has discovered
that thvead as strong and fine and plia
ble as that made from flax can be pro
duced from cotton stalks. One hundred
and twenty pounds of stalks turn out
forty pounds of thread. This discovery,
if found to be practicable, will very soon
pot King Cotton on bis legs again.
Cutting Timber.— We doubt if suffi
cient attention is paid by planters and
builders, to the period when timber is
cut. It has been found by long experi
ence that timber felled in August is
much more durable for all purposes than
when cut at any other season. Rails
made from white and black oak cut in
August have been known to last forty
years, and yet be sound, while those cut
in winter do not last on an average more
than ten or twelve years.
Theatre.— Crowded audiences wit
nessed the two presentations* of the
thrilling drama of “Griffith Gaunt" last
night, and the night before. The plot
of the play is exceedingly interesting,
comprising a rapid succession of stirring
incidents, which are brought out with
strong effect by the Company. Mr. and
Mrs. Watkins appeared to admirable
advantage in the leading characters,
and were well sustained throughout.
The piece will be repeated to night.
Union Point Hotel.— We are pleased
to learn from Mr. Nebhut, the
landlord of tbis hotel, that he has
renewed his lease for the current year.
He furnishes a first class dinner, to the
up and dqwn passenger trains, and his
house offers a very desirable resting
place for wayworn travellers, in which to
enjoy wholesome living and pure air.—
Such a dinner bouse is creditable to any
railroad, and we trust the schedule rauy
continue to run so that travellers may
enjoy the good things which always
grace his board.
Richmond County Superior Court.
—Tbis Court was engaged all day
yesterday in the trial of the State vs.
Get rge Harley, charged with the murder
of McCauley, some few mouths ago.
The Attorney General, Capt. John P.
C. Whitehead, au able and indefutiguble
prosecuting officer, is assisted by Judge
Win. Gibson, for the State. Messrs.
Barnes and Gumming for the defense.
The testimony was purely circumstan
tial, and the case was*given to the jury
without argument. They returned a
verdict of not guilty.
SVKDAX SCHOOL CELEBRATION. —It
has been suggested that a grand union
Sabbath School celebration take place
in May, the beautiful month of flowers—
a pic uic, at some convenient point, say
Allen’s Station, on the Augusta and
Savannah Railroad. In this celebration
it is proposed that the Sabbath Schools
of the city and the country should all
unite and have a pleasant re-union to
gether. There is plenty of time it is
true, but the subject is broached thus
early that the Superintendents of the
several schools should have ample time
to take it into consideration and, if they
agree with the suggestion, to adopt It.
Mexican guerrillas threw a railroad
train from the track on Thursday, Jan.

“Xylon." —“Quondam,"the able and
conservative August* correspondent of
the New York IHines, in his letter of
Jan. Bth, says of our contributor ‘‘Xy
lon
A gentleman, who is said to be a law
yer of high distinction, and an ex-Judge,
is writing a series of letters in the Daily
Pkes.s, of this city, over the signature of
“Xylon,” in which he is giving his fel
low citizens earnest advice against the
“masterly inactivity policy, and in favor
of doing everything they can to obtain
peueo on any terms which honor and
self respect will allow. I have only
been able to see one of the letters, but
that one was so conservative ns well as
conciliatory, I desire to see more, and
believe that they will do good.
Bonus-a-um. Somebody lias said
that the electricians are experts in flash
literature. From their skill in “working
the wires” they ought also to be good
politicians. Be this as it may, we have
numerous illustrations of their ability to
point a moral and adorn a tale, with
pen or pencil, upon occasion. The press
dispatches are often enlivened with cari
catures and choice bits of humor which
only the engraver’s art can properly con
vey to the public eye. Since the late
bonus exacted of us, by the two old and
respectable papers (so called) of the
City, the telegraphers have been im
pressed with the idea that somebody
ougi.t to give a supper, and on the mani
fold copy sheets, furnished to all the
papers of the City, are daily emblazoned
delicate hints, designated to keep alive
a sense of their inalienable rights in the
premises. Last night the following
jeu d' esprit was appended to the mid
night report —lt is surmounted by a
grinning and bread faced profile, with
arms akimbo, and hat awry, looking like
a veritable son of old Gambrinns, who
is supposed to personify the “telegram
mers,” in the constant expectancy of
that supper. And then comes the “ar
guraent” tluisly:
“Bonus—bonus—bonus—whar's that
bonus—whar’s that supper?” And then,
as if in reply to his own feeling inter
rogatory, the artist proceeds : “We are
happy to he able to Chronicle the fact
that the Const itutioiud(ist) amendment,
relative to the SIOO supper to tbe tele
grammers lias been adopted by a three
fourths majority, and is now a law.
'Dam vivimus vivamusV —we shall
imitate the example of Oliver Twist, and
ask for ‘Moore.’ ”
The author of so classical and perti
nent a piece of pleasantry as the above,
is clearly entitled to a supper—and if
the Constitutionally/) vote of the
electricians, • above recorded, is over
ruled by a veto, it will be a case of
shocking ingratitude.
Cheap Daily Papers.— A gentle
man from an adjoining town, in sub
scribing for the Daily Press, a day or
two ago, expressed surprise that we
could publish so good a paper at so
cheap a rate. He also stated that many
of his friends were deterred from takiug
the paper through fear that it could not
be sustained. In reply to our friend,
and to meet the apprehension of all
w ho doubt the stability of the paper, we
deCm it proper to review the history of
cheap dailies in this country, and to
present a few thoughts in illustration of
the practicability of maintaining them.
The New York Sun, Philadelphia
Ledger, and Baltimore Sun, are living
examples of the success of cheap
dailies. They have amassed large for
tunes tor their proprietors, and have
been recognized as the influential or
gans of the masses, who have not the
lime to read or the money to pay for
the large and expensive dailies. So,
too, in smaller cities, the Richmond
Dispatch and Petersburg Express grew
into the front rank of Virginia journal"
isin, with a subscription price ot $4.00
a year. Here in Augusta the Daily
Dispatch, at $4.00 a year, lived and
prospered for years, and fell under the
financial shock and enhanced price of
paper, attending the war, which pros
trated even old and vigorous journals
in ail parts ot the country. We have it
from the best authority that at the time
of its suspension it had a third more
subscribers than any daily in the City.
But the prostration of business cut off
advertising, which was its main sup
port. And this brings us to the
point where the theory of cheap dailies
may be illustrated in a few words.
Their price very soon brings them a
leading circulation ; that alone is not
remunerative, but it commends them to
the favor of advertisers, who are not
slow to seek the channel which brings
them before the most readers. There
fore a cheap daily of moderate size,
well filled with a varied condensation of
the news, and a well displayed array of
lice advertisements, may yield a more
solid income than papers of larger size
and price, known to the business public
to have inferior circulations.
This is the correct theory of daily
journalism. A cheap daily is practi
cable wherever there is a live holiness
community, and practical newspaper
men to conduct it. All these condi"
tions are met in the Daily Press. It
is allied with the fortunes of no plaved'-
out politicians, or clogged with the dead
weights of owners who know nothing of
the business. It is in the hands of
earnest workers and practical thinkers,
who are familiar with the tastes and
wants of the people, and have the
industry to meet them. It relies neither
upon its venerable ago, the birth place
of its owner, nor bonuses from its co
temporaries. Self sustaining and self
reliant, it has entered the field as the
organ ol the musses, the vigilant ally
of the mercantile and industrial interests
of the City and section, and only asks
the measure of support which it merits
at the hands of a just and discerning
public.

Mr. Boutwell spoke in favor of the bill.
He argued that if five judges of the

self-respect to adopt rules to exclude
