Dehouey’s advertisement, in another column. A number of amateurs in New York, composed entirely of South Carolinians, are rehearsing the play of “Married Life,” to be performed soon at the pri vate residence of an ex-Charlestonian. A Rebel Journal, — It is stated that a weekly journal, written in the Magyer language, with great force and spirit, is secretly printed and circulated in Hun gary. Ail effort toyliscover who prints or edits it have been unavailing. 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 attention by our merchants,as the goods must be sold. 'Election of Recorder. Judge Gibson havilig resigned his position as Recorder of the City of Augusta, an election to fill the vacancy will he held at the next regular monthly meeting in February. Candidates will make a note of it, and govern themselves accordingly. 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. 1 he “Old Shades" is at the same old stand, Ellis street, between Jackson and Mclntosh streets. I Dr. O. W. Houses, it is reported, is about to raaign the Turkman Professor ship in Harvard College. By the incorporation of certain Polish provinces by Prussia, Poland has ceas ed to exist. Thk Charleston papers announce the death of C. F. Mat ill i esse n, Esq., u retired merchant of thut city, of high and well known character, aged 84 years. 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. 10, not far from Vera Cruz, sacking the traiu, aud cutting up the French soldiers on board. “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. Bj) tEclcgcapt). TO THK ABBOCIATEDPREBB. FROM WASHINGTON.™' Couf[re»elonal. SENATE. Washington, Jan. 22—P. M. The session was spent in receiving and discussing unimportant petitions. After a short Executive session the Senate adjourned. HOUSE. A leave of absence’ was granted Mt. Wnsliburne, of Illinois, for tbe balance of the session. A bill declaring valid certain acts and proclamations of the President, from 1361 to 1865. It shields officers from acts committed in discli irge of duty, and declares that all officers shall be presumed to have acted under orders. The Bill was recommitted to the Judi ciary Committee, with the privilege to report at any time. The same committee reported a bill declaring it tbe rule of all United States Courts that persons guilty of treason, murder, bribery, or other felony, or who had given aid, comfort, or coun sel to enemies of the United States, or had engaged in the rebellion, shall not he allowed to practice in said Courts.— Mr. Boutwell spoke in favor of the bill. He argued that if five judges of the Supreme Court did not have sufficient self-respect to adopt rules to exclude rebel traitors, it was time for Congress to step in and make rules for them. A regular fielding ensued. Every device was used by the minority to stave off a vote. The House is still in session at seven o’clock. The bill malting a rule for the Su preme Court has been read a third time, and the Democrats, thirty-five strong, are calling the yeas and nays on all kinds of questions. At half-past nine most of the mem bers are dining in their seats.

Point of order was made on Mr. In gersoll, that smoking was out of order in the Hall. At half past ten a motion was made to adjourn, with five amendments.
