A New -History op the Late War
by Hon. A. H. Stephens.— The Na
tional Publishing Company of Rich
mond, Virginia, have in press, and will
shortly publish, a work by Hon. Alex
ander H. Stephens, entitled “A History
of the late War between the States—
tracing its origin, causes, and results.”
It will be a valuable addition to the
historical literature of the country.
Recorder’s Court. — In this Court
yesterday a very bad boy, was fined S3O
or set to work for 90 days. He fought
another colored boy, and has been a
practitioner at this bar before. The
Recorder thought a little recreation in
Gen. Bunch’s Brigade would greatly
improve his "moruale karackter.” It is
to be hoped that it will.
A violation of the 6th section— riding
too rapidly for the personal safety of
pedestrians—was fitted $1 and costs.
And a violator of the ordinance of
June Ist, 1866, was fined S3O or 60
days work on the streets.
Commercial Dispatches. —ln the
compromise between the United States
ami European News Association and the
New York Associated Press, Mr. Craig

liable system of market reports from all
the commercial centres of the world.
In the meantime, 4 atn receiving seve
ral dispatches, daily, embracing reports
of the Liverpool, London, and New
lork Cotton and Money Markets,
fuller and more frequent than the re
ports heretofore furnished. I respect
fully invite the Co-Operation of those
interested. Reports furnished by the

The Test. —The Chronicle & Senti
ncl, of Sunday morning last, in a local
paragraph says:
“Ihe major part of our readers, who
worship in St. James’ Methodist
Church.”
Now if the congregation of “St.
James’ Methodist Church” constitute a
major part of the Chronicle <fi Sentinel's
readers, as may be reasonably inferred
from the foregoing, we can pretty nearly
arrive at a knowledge of their list of
bona Jide subscribers.” 'I he number
of readers at St. James must be about
three hundred; that being a majority,
the rest must be about two hundred. o li j
get out, neighbor, with your bona fide
subscriptions.’ VV’hca your bona fide
circulations gets anyways near that Op
the Daily Pkkss, you can put on airs
Dont let our SSOO make you too proud,
neighbor. Ihe public doesn’t care two
straws about bona fide subscription.
All that they are interested in is to know
which puper lias the largest bona fide
circulation. That the Daily Pkkhs has
got, and the people know it and appre
ciate it.
Bkxkity or thc Poo*.—We under
stand that Mr. Watkins, the generous
Manager of the Theatre, intends shortly
to give an entertainment for the benefit
of the poor of this City. He has given
similar charities elsewhere; and the
people of Augusta will show their ap
preciation of his generosity by an in
crease of the patronage now so liber
ally extended to him.
Direct Trade Between the Sooth
and Liverpool. —The Atlanta Intelli
gencer has bqen favored with the follow
ing extracts of a letter from Gen. Wm.
Mshoue, President of the Norfolk and
Petersburg, and Soutli Side railroads,
dated January 14, 1867, to Mnjor C.
Wallace. Superintendent Western and
Atlantic Railroad:
“We have lately sent forward one
steamer from Norfolk, fully laden for
Liverpool, and we are uow loading
another.
“I want to arrange to grant bills
lading in your place (Atlanta) for Liv
erpool direct, free of all charges, except
freight and insurance. Railroads ta
collect of steamers, and the latter to
arrange for insurance and advances on
shipments. We can and must have di
rect trade for the South.”
Effects of Emancipation on the
Neuro. —General Howard, in his late
report, estimates the number of colored
people in the eleven Slates—Virginia,
North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Mississipoi, Louisiana. Texas,
Missouri, Arkansas, and Tennessee
at 3,057,000. The Nashville Union
says that, by the census of 1860, there
were 3,335,000 colored people in those
States, showing a loss of 268.000 in the
effort to better their condition. But
this is not the real loss. At the aver
age rate of increase from 1850 to 1860,
there would have been, in June, 1866,
a negro population of 4,375,000 in the
States named ; showing a deficit in
these eleven States of 1,308,000. What
more startling and melancholy picture
could be presented to the true philan
thropist than this 7
Spring Wheat.—'l he commissioner of
agriculture has received a large quantity
of the celebrated Amantaka (spring)
wheat, from Odessa, Russia, imported
for distribution among such farmers of
the country as desire to test its merits.
It is maintained that its general intro
duction will prove of great value to the
wheat growing interests of the country.
We believe that spring wheat has not
been considered well adapted to this
latitude, but the new variety is worth
the experiment.
The difficulty in obtaining hands for
the cultivation of Cotton, renders it
especially important that we devote
more atteution to labor saving crop.
It may be practicable to obtain labor
sufficient to put in a wheat crop, even
though hands will not make permanent
engagements for the culture of Cotton.
Farmers who desire to procure this
wheat may do so by writing to the
“Commissioner of Agriculture,” Wash
ington City.
Richmond County Superior Court.
—ln this Court yesterday the following
case was set for trial. “The State vs.
George Washington, Henry Isdal, Wm.
Isdai, Henry Ansley, James Ansley,
and John Palmer, for the murder of W.
E. Lazenby, an Enrolling Officer in
Richmond County, in March, 1865.
John P. C. Whitehead, Esq., Attorney
General, for the State; Messrs. Piequet
and Milledge for the defence. The
speeches were forcible and pointed and
reflected much credit upon tbe counsel
on both sides.
Our young friend Whitehead, thc At
torney General, is one of the most prom
ising lawyers at our bar; and in the
management ot bis cases displays a
taleut and an energy which would do
credit to older iieads. If parties accused
of crime have not been convicted, it
surely was no fault of his; for he has,
in our opinion, performed his duty faith
fully and zealously, und is entitled to
great credit lor it. If he will continue
to apply himself in the future to the
study and practice of his profession, as
he does now, he will ere long achieve an
enviable fame.
The Last of the “National.”— The
Lynchburg (Va.) Feus, of Jan. 21st,
says, that Constable Lee performed the
"last sail riles” over the office effects o*
the National Express Company on
Saturday, acting under a distress war
rant, in favor of William H. Hell, for
rent. It was a melancholy Beene to see
a Company, which started out with so
many aspirations for success following
after it, thus early in its career, before
it had attained even to a respectable
infantile age. brought to such hope
less “grief.” The articles sold remark
ably well—much better, it is said, than
similar property of the Company sold
elsewhere ; and ns the ouly tribute in
our power to pay to tbe memory of
the defunct, we append the list ot
prices:
'1 wo P. P. chests, $22.50; 2 messen
ger boxes, $1.55; 3 paper clips, $1.00;
l lot sundries, $1.75; 3 messenger safes,
$111.50; 1 letter press, SSO 00; gas
fixtures, $4 25 ; counters (cost $300),
S3O; 1 iron safe, $150.00; stove and
pipe, $11.50; patent scales, $32.00 ; 4
trucks, $23.00; 1 bucket and pan, 25
cents; 2 signs, $3.50 ; 1 table,ss.oo ; 1
wagon sheet, $7.00 ; 2 keys, SI.OO.
The whole amounting to $455.80, not
enough to satisfy the execution.
To day the splendid span of horses
belonging to the Cotnpauy will be sold
by Cuptain Lee to satisfy an execution
ol George M. Bruce for feeding them.
1 here will be nothing remaining here
then but the Company’s wagon to tell
that the National ever existed. That,
too, we suppose, will soon follow the way
of its brothers iu misfortune.

came hunting him, saying he had stolen

get his wife back. Tlie party of the first
part had a paitner in business, who
talked with the party of the second part,
and filially persuaded him to accept ten
dollars, to be paid in whiskey and leath
er, which he took and departed, leaving
the parly of the first part in peaceable
possession of the absconding wife.
The Augusta Chronicle, in a notice of
the dramatic performance of Mr. and

churn will produce butter in one minute.

A Good Example. —The following
“act of amnesty and oblivion,” passed
by the North Carolina Legislature at
the close of the Revolutionary War, is
worthy of commendation to those who
are now proposing to degrade the South
with test oaths and Territoria'ization.
During the revolutionary struggle all
the evil passions of the human heart
were stimulated to the highest pitch,
and the miserable atrocities which were
enacted during the late war in portions of
Tennessee, Alabama, and a few other
localities, where the people were much
divided in opinion, were then enacted
with more or less frequency in all the
States, and in none with greater energy
and vindictiveness than in the State of
North Carolina.
The passage of this act, immediately
after the treaty of peace, was, therefore!
a most remarkable example of modera
tion and clemency in the victors. The
North Carolina papers have reproduced
it as follows:
AN ACT OF PARDON AND OBMVION.
Whereas, It is the policy of all wise
States, on the termination of all civil
wars, to grant an Act of pardon and
oblivion fur past offences : And, as di
vers of the citizens of this State, and
other inhabitants thereof, intl.ecouise
of the lute unhappy war, have become
liable to great pains and penalties for
offences committed against the pe«ce
and government of this State: And the
General Assembly, out of our earnest
desire to observe the articles of peace,
and on all occasions disposed to forgive
offences rather than punish, where the
necessity for an exemplary punishment
has ceased :
Re it therefore enacted by the Gene
ral Assembly of the State of North Car
olina, and it is hereby enacted by the
authorities of the some, that all man
ner of treasons, misprison of treason,
felony or misdemeanor, committed or
done since the 4lh day of July, 177 G, by
any person or persons, whatsoever, be
pardoned, released, and put in total
oblivion.

of bushels will be entirely abandoned by
