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 retained the right to distribute commer cial news ; and in a few da\s he pro poses to inaugurate a complete and re 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 week or month on liberal terms. S. A. Atkinson, Agent. 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. ITEMS, f One thousand negroes passed over the State road last week for the West. The Rome Ooui-ier says, the ladies of Clay county, Missouri, have sent $1,500 to Messrs. Underwood and Smith, for the relief of disabled Confederate soldiers and their families. Snow fell in Rome on Sunday last to the depth of four and a half inches—the heaviest snow storm since 1837. Mr. King, ihe father of Col. Hugh King, of Columbus, died of apoplexy, Monday morning. Os the “Spalding Grays,” which left Griffin, Ga., at the beginning of the war, one hundred and fifty strong, only eleven could be mustered last week to assist at the reinterment of a gallant comrade. Atlanta has a “Jiff Davis” debating club. Dr. Roper, n few days ago, stated in the Columbus Sun, that there were not over on* hundred cases of small pox in Coluinbns. A negro man made application on Thursday iu the Superior Court for Chatham county, Georgia, to be admit ted to practice at the bur. His applica tion was denied. Rev. Dr. Stiles has accepted a call to labor the present year as an evangelist in the churches of Missouri. Captkin Crisp and his talented com patty are expected in Griffin soon, to play a short engagement. The Rome Courier mentions a singu lar case which happened in that vicin ity. Some few weeks since a man came from South Carolina and entered into business. Last week another man came hunting him, saying he had stolen lus wife and he intended to kill him and 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 Mrs. Harry Watkins, says that Mr. Wat kins won fresh laurels as “Capitola,” in the ‘‘Hidden Hand.” We lmd always thought that this was a female part, but it is possible that Harry can do it.—Sa vannah Advertiser. An old lady named Mrs. Mary Ste vens, of Savannah, has mysteriously disappeared. Henry C. Buttler has written to the Editor of the Federal Union f r infor mation as to the whereabouts of his father William L. Buttler and family.— They came to Georgia from Tennessee while he was in prison during the war, and he cannot find them. His address is Loyehili. Tennessee. A patented churn, called the “Expe dient," is on exhibition in Atlanta. The Era says, about two gallons of milk were introduced, and the churning oper ation produced butler in two minutes. "Tbis may be considered rapid work, but it was done under unfavorable circum stances and in our office. We are assured that, in the spring and under the influence of pleasant weather, this churn will produce butter in one minute. The Federal Union says that the resi deuce of Mr. Everett Arnold, 34 miles from that city, was consumed by fire, on Thursday last. We are glad to learn that Mr. A. succeeded in saving his fur niture and household goods. On the evening of the same day an out house at the plantation of Mr. Na than Hawkins was also consumed. An old negro woman, being left nlone in it, (her daughter having gone visiting,) and being blind and unable to rescue heaself, was burned to death in the flames. The Inferior Court of Baldwin county have in contemplation the establishment of a County Poor House with a farm attached. 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. —lt is probable that the old measure of bushels will be entirely abandoned by the first of April in the grain markets of the country. $8 Ctlegrapt). TO THE A SSOCIATKD PRESS. Teom^washihgtoh. Htuie in Session oil Klgfcl—An Exciting Bond Lock. Washington,. Jan. 23—P. M. The House remained in session till this morning. Forty votes by yeas and nays were taken —only one third as many as during the famous fight over the Kansas Ne braska Bill. The majority final!) yielded. Mr. Boutwell proposing an adjourn nient to eleven, and that the House, between that hour and noou should be at the disposal of the Democrats who wish to debate the bill. There was no promise, however, ou the part of the Democrats, that they would allow a vote at noon. The Post Master General responds to the demand of the House by reporting ten appointments which had been re jeeted by the Senate, and twenty on which the Senate failed to act. The President approved the bill fixing the time of meeting ot Cougress, adding the fourth of March to the present time for meeting. Some New England railroads refuse to renew mail contracts on former rates. The mails are transported by horse in several instances. These difficulties confirm the Post Master General in favor of postal telegraphs. The Nebraska and Colorado vetoes were considered by the Cabinet yester day. Three unsuccessful Senatorial ballots occurred in Kentucky for Senator. Da vis withdrew, and the last ballot stood, Powell, 39; Harding, 46; Bristow, (?) Boutwell’s bill, making a rule for the United States Courts excluding from practice Confederates and others, passed —lO9 ayes to 42 nays. The National Tobacco Manufac turers’ Convention will meet here on Wednesday, Feb. 6. A prominent Republican member in the House, in a recent letter to a friend, touching impeachment, says, my own opinion is, and has been, it will amount to nothing. All the reports that the Judiciary Committee have taken evi dence bearing hard on the President, is false. Not a single witness has been examined, and the committee is proceeding very cautiously. The Lobby is filling with representa tives of various interests affected by the tariff. James F. Wilkinson, late manager of the London Joint Stock Discount Com pany, well known in the banking world, has been found guilty of robbing his company of two checks, and sentenced to five years penal servitude. The steamer City of Boston has com pleted ten voyages between New York and Liverpool, the past year, running seventy thousand statute miles, a per formance never before equalled. The Admiralty are preparing esti mates to build a first L-lass armor plated ship, seven second class, and four to eight turret, ships, a coast defense ship, fourteen smaller vessels, and twenty gunboats. The new Japanese embassy have ar rived in Paris, and would remain there a week, then go to St. Petersburg via Berlin, thence to America. A spirit of intolerance was showing itself in Route. Services by Scotch Presbyterians ivas interdicted, and it was hinted that those held by American protestauts would also be suppressed. Congressional. SENATE. Washington, Jon. 23—P. M. Various petitions were read, inclu ding one for the reimbursement ofntoney taken by the St. Alban Raiders. A bill extending Daniel Woodberry’s Horse Power Patents. Referred to Pat ent Committee. Mr. Long's bill, defining homestead laws, was referred to the Committee on Public Lands. The bill passed'by the House at noon to-day, prescribing rules for the qualifi cation of lawyers practicing in United States Courts, was referred to the Judi ciary Committee. A bill for the relief of the heirs of John E. Bouligney, formerly a member of Congress from Louisiana, was passed. It confirms titles to 75,000 acres of land in Louisiana to the heirs. The tariff bill was taken up, and long speeches made. Adjourned. HOUSE. The Republicans voting against Mr. Boutwell’s bill, were Hale, Lathan, Me Lure, and Stilwell. The Committee on Ways and Means were instructed to inquire into the expe diency ot repealing the tax on tonnage. The Judiciary Committee obtained leave to report tbe eight hour system of labor at any time. A bill providing the yearly term ol the United States Circuit in October at Little Rock, Arkansas, was passed. The Judiciary ■ Committee reported adversely to the bill regulating tbe time and manner of electing United States Senators. Two hours were consumed in hearing excuses, etc., of those absent last night without leave. A hill providing fora successor to the Presidential office, was taken up, dis cussed, ordered to be printed, and refer red to the Judiciary Committee. The House went into Committee on post office appropriation, and adjourned. FROM NEW ORLEANS. New Orleans, Jan. 23—P. M.
