River News. —The Moore left yester day morning, and the Swan is expected to day. River in good boating order. Richmond County Superior Court. —ln this Court, yesterday, there was nothing of special interest done. Thad. Stevens says that while he lives the South will catch h—ll. When he dies, h —ll will catch him. An Ice Boat. —The Baltimore papers talk about an ice boat in their harbor. We have more nice boats in our harbor than there is business for them to do. Personae. —We had the pleasure, yesterday of meeting with our old friend Ex-Governor Brown, who visits our city on business. Boots and SnoEs. —M. Cohen’s is the place to buy anything in the hoot or shoe line, from a dancing pump to a brogan. Their goods are made to order) and are of the best quality. Fkeedmen’s Bureau. —The office of the Freediueu’s Bureau in this City lias been removed Irom Ellis street to the old City Hotel Building, on Broad street, below Washington. Dead Duck Forney is Secretary’ of tho Senate, and Drake will soon tread the floor as Senator from Missouri. Such a conjunction portends had eggs, and the hatching of more rotten schemes. The Oyster Trade.— The closing of the bays northward has greatly enhanced the price of oysters. They are selling at from three to five dollars a in Baltimore. Those who take them on he half shell have to shell out. The Augusta Daily Press is now the official organ of the City of Au gusta, having the largest circulation in the required limits. Indeed we could not do without the VaKsa.—Dahlonega Signal. The Recorder’s Court.— ln this Court, yesterday morning, three colored men who had violated the 18th Section were fined $5 and costs each ; and otic for furious driving was required to pay the costs of Court. Nothing of much consequence was done. Neoro Testimony. —The Ch trleston Mercury gays that the tiew law admit ting negroes to testify in courts in South Carolina, has been attended with more than the expected success. The colored witnesses seem to be impressed wilh the obligations placed upon them, and their evidence has been generally given with an evident desire to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. There was but little tendency to prolixity and dis cursiveness, and the testimony Ims, in the late criminal trials, been clear, in telligible, and to t|t» point Crosby s Opera House Art Associ. ation, Chicago. —The drawing of prizes in the Crosby Art Association took place on the 21st. There were a large num ber of strangers in the city and the opera house was densely crowded, Tlte drawing Commenced at 12:30. Ticket No. .08,600 drew the opera house. A. H. I.ee, of Prairie Du Ilochc, Ran dolph county, 111., about fifty miles south of St. Louis, is the lucky holder of ticket 58.600. The ticket was sold by et f & Lealhe, of StV Louis, who im mediately on the receipt of tli* telegram from Crosby, announcing the drawing, r m T!> ,er 0D horseback to no ify Lee of hi. good fortune. Lee held hut one ticket. Trouhi.r im Wall Street.—Ad vice* were received iu this City on yes terday, of reported failures in Wall street, which had caused considerable sensation among the bolls aud bears of that locality. Our preaa reports make no allusion to them. Meats and Groceries.—OuP popu lar friend, Josiah Miller, has recently opened a meat store opposite the mar ket, at Clark's otd stand, where enn always be found choice fresh meats of every kind, with a varied stock of gro certes and produce. Auction Sale.—Day & Inman ofTer another lerge and attractive stock of Guods at unctiou to-day, consisting of Groceries, Liquors, Boots. Shoes, Cloth ing, and Fancy Goods. They will also sell twenty shares of Loan Association stock, which is now in demand. Burglary. —Last night, just after dark, some cool individual stepped into the hall of the residence of Foster Blodgett, Esq., and helped himself to two overcoats. It is to be hoped that the clutches of the police may freeze to the greedy fellow. The Sugar Crop ok Louisiana.— The New Orleans Times says : ‘‘The sugar crop of Louisiana this year will reacli silty thousand hogsheads, against sixteen thousand last year 5 that only extraordinary obstacles will prevent a production of one hundred thousand next year, and that the old average of four hundred and fifty thousand hogs heads will be restored in three years.' 1 The Prisidknt't Restoration Pol icy.— The President lately in conver sation with a friend, expressed his una bated confidence in the final triumph of his restoration policy. He also took occasion to condemn the project that was being agitated in Congress for the overthrow of the present State govern ments at the South, and dcelnred that it would release those State governments from the payment of their State debts, and impose them upon the United States. Mr. Seward has recently ex pressed the same confidence in the tri umph of the President's policy as was expressed by tho President himself. Theatre—Benefit.— To-night has been set apart as the occasion for a benefit tendered by a number of our promiueut c tizens to Mrs. Watkins. In all the qualities which constitute tbe lady, as -well as in histrionic accom pli shinents, Mrs. Watkins is an orna ment to her profession, and we look for such an audience to-night as will unmis takably attest the high consideration entertained for her in this City. The role selected is one in which she has won high plaudits from the most omi nent critics of the time, and iu which we are assured she will be well supported by the company. Fire in Walker Street.—Shortly before three o’clock on Thursday morn ing, a fire brake out on the third floor of the building No. 119, Walker street, in the premises occupied by A. 0. Mc- Kinley A Cos., manufacturers ot brass cocks and plumbers’ work. The flames sprend to the second floor, when the root and walls fells in, and the firemen soon after extinguished ihe fire. McKinley A Cos. sustain a loss of about $2,000, partly insured. Tbe first and second floors were occupied by Charles E. Hartshorn, fire engine maker, who also owns the building. His loss on machinss, etc., will be about $12,000; only insured for $3,000. The loss on the building will be about $5,000 ; in sured for $1,500 —Mew York Herald, Jan. 18. - ' Mr. Hartshorn, whose name is men tioned above us the principal sufferer by the fire, has built the fire apparatus of this City for the past fourteen or fif teen years, and was engaged in getting up an engine, and three Hose Carriages for our department, all of which were more or less injured. The entire appa ratus were in two weeks of being ready tor shipment. A letter to Chief Engi neer Platt, however, states that the dam ages is not so serious but that it can be soon repaired, and the greatest Injury is in the delay which will necessarily occur in their completion and delivery. The firemen of Augusta will sincerely sym pathize with Mr. Hartshorn in his se. vere loss, and will heartily indorse the the wish that bo will soon recover from its effects, and enter again tho high road to success and prosperity. Sportino Item. —The last number of Wilkes' Spirit of the Times contains an editorial statement that in the next issue of that paper will appear an offer from Mr. Leouard Jerome to run Ken tucky against any horse in tho world. The editor believes that the distance of the race will be anything from a two mile dash to four mile heats. There will also be so large margin iu the amounts proposed, that a mail of mode rate means can meet the lowest, while nobody is likely to allege that the highest is too small. [communicated.] EDUCATION. Mr. Editor: —Your editorial in to day’s Daily Press, on Education, re minds me of a duty I had neglected to perform. Your suggestion is a good one, and I would propose that the lead ing educational men pf the Slate take the matter in hand at once. The Rev. W. H. Davis, one of the Principals of Summerville Academy, is an advocate of the proposed measure, and it would be advisable to suggest to him through tbo Daily Press, the propriety of set ting on foot a plan by which tbe end in view could be accomplished- Miss Mattie N. Rhodes, who has charge of tbe Music Department of the same Academy, is also in favor ol tbe same plun, and has often suggested the reme dies, etc., etc. It would he well for these two worthy teacher!, who it seems have the happy faculty to a large extent of imparting to the mind of those in their charge, the rudiments of an education that will last as long as time, to take matters in hand. Patron. Jan. 24, 1867. That Little Bonus.—The Savannah DaUg Advertiser, iu an article on oar telegraphic trouble* has the following. We thank our Savannah cotemporary for their kindly notice; and hope that we shall always deserve their approval. The Advertiser says: “This seenu to us a most outrageous demand, amt we can look upon it in no Other light than as an attempt to orufh out a rival. Mr. Puglie ha* made the Daily Press a live paper, and lias fur nished it at half tbe price of the others. Notwithstanding he considered the de mand a very unjust one, yet, in accord ance with liia determinstion to publish a paper equal to any, he felt compelled to accede to it, and accordingly paid tbe Associated Press ageut $1,119.05, SI,OOO to be 'divided between the Chronicle and the Constitutionalist , and the balance being for bis proportion of tolls. Justice to the Living; Then Hon ors to the Dead.—The movements in various localities, for the erection of monuments to the memory of the Con federate dead is creditable to the grate ful sentiments of our people; but in view of the prevailing distress among the living, is it not possible that we niny best honor the memories ot those who have fallen, by extending our present limited means to the relief of those they have left behind 7 The brave deeds of those who gave up their lives for their country have monuments more lasting than marble in the hearts- of all who recognize their patriotic devotion ; and in due time it will be proper to mark their resting places with appropriate tokens of appreciation. But it is mock ery to pile marble over tbe poor clay of the dead hero, while tho soldiers' loved ones are allowed to suffer with cold or hunger. Receipts and Stocks of Cotton.— The New Y"ork Weekly Chronicle of the 18th gives the following cotton state ment: Receipts since Sept. 1 ; 888,851 Foreign Exports 376,830 Coastwise shipments 367,766 Stock on hand 356,150 Justice to Freedmen.—The Mercury says that Judge Dawkins is assigning the senior members of the Charleston Bar to the defence ot those colored prisoners who were without counsel ; and they have in many instances dis charged tho duties imposed upon them with the same zeal, fidelity and consci entiousness which have so long made the Bar of Charleston deservedly emi nent for legal ability and personal in tegrity. The same practice ha§ been pursued in the Courts of Georgia. During the last week several of the most eminent attorneys of our State have appeared iu the Superior Court of this countv as vol. unteers in defence of freedmen charged with aggravated offences. The failure of conviction, in one or two cases where the evidence by colored witnesses was very strong, shows the scrupulous care with which our Courts give the full ben efit of possible doubt to this class ofour population. Getting a Jury.—One of the great est perplexities of the constabulary force of this county, is in making up the J*)iy panels for the numerous courts, it may be consoling to those officers to know that others have had similartrials, Thomas H. Benton several years ago was travelling through one of the bor der counties of Missouri, when hearing that Court was in session at a certain point, he concluded to pass that way and give it a call. Passing through forest ami briar, he was directed to a “clearing,” where a rough frame of a house, without roof, might be seen, surrounded by stumps of trees and sup ported by splices of sapling. The Judge was seated on a log without his coat. Presently the Sheriff made his appear ance. “Mr. Sheriff,” said the Judge, “have you got lhat jury ?" The Sheriff, blowing aud sweating, replied: “Got nine of ’em, your honor, out here in the thicket, tied with hickory wytliL'3.” “The hellyou have," roared the Judge, “where is the other three ?” “E/, for them," answered the Sheriff, “I’ve done all I coaid do—set two dogs and three niggers on their trail, an’ reck’n they’ll fetch 'em by ’n by." He*vy Dkut. —The public debt of the State of Virginia, on the 30th of September last, was $36,928,804.50. Besides this debt proper, the State has gu 'ranteed the bonds of several rail road and canal companies, amounting to $1,953,455. This docs not include interest accrued and not funded up to Jan. 1, 1867, which amounts to $6,237,- 391.93. The State Auditor says that while the magnitude of the debt need excite no apprehension as to the ability of the State to pay it, he deems it due the creditors to say that the losses grow ing out of the war had been such that it will be impossible for the State to pay full interest for some time to come. He, therefore, proposes to scale the interest for thirty years, beginning at 3 per cent, for the first four years, 4 per cent, for the next four, and so on up to 9 per cent, for the last four. This will make an average of 6 per cent., and the plan is based upon the prospective appreciation of property. It is not be lieved this plan will be udopted. How tiikv no Things in Chicago.— Theodore Tilton recently lectured in the virtuous city of Chicago. Being ad vised in the after.iOou that colored la dies of the highest respectability bad been refused tickets, he went in person to the office and demanded explanation. The salesman referred him to Mr. Crds by, who assumed the responsibility. Mr. Tilton appealed to the President of the Young Men’s Association, who imme diately issued complimeutary tickets to the beßt reserved seats in the house which Mr. Tilton insisted upon person ally delivering to tbo ladies in question. On <£tlcgvapl). TO fHti ASSOCIATED PRESS. FROMWAEHINGT ON * Congressional. BENATE. Washington, Jan. 24—P. 11. Petitions from Ohio wool growers were presented, asking increased pro tection.

After unimportant proceedings the bill giving Agricultural College Scrip to Tennessee, was taken up. Amend ments to extend tbe operations of tho bill to all the States provoked debate. Mr. Maynard disliked having Tennes see yoked to the rebel States. Mr. Stokes also spoke, and was taunt ed with his early secession letters. Mr. Stokes said he had repented and entered the Federal army. Mr. Stokes said he was ready to enter the saddle and stay there three years longer—when Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, said: “Oh, bosh!” and the regular report says in parenthesis (Laughter.) The bill was further discussed, and Mr. Kelly, of Tennessee, maintained that his was the only Southern State with a Republican Government. Soutn Carolina, Texas, etc., he maintained were not States. The debate progressed, and an amend ment was agreed to that no Confederate should be a professor. The President was called a usurper. Mr. Cooper, of Tennessee, was called to order for calling Mr. Kelly, of Penn sylvania, a liar, and the bill passed. The Enabling act was taken up. Mr. Stevens said he did not regret the length of time spent in debate on the Enabling bill, but he found such a diversity of opinion on his side of Ihe House -upon any question of reconstrtic tion, that did not change his mind, he would relieve the mind of the House of any question with regard to it, And would to-morrow cull it up, and move to lay it on the table. Circular from ficii. Howard. Washington, Jan. 24—P. Af. General Howard has issund the fol lowing circular: Hereafter, and until further orders, no tees or charges will be exacted by officers of this Bureau for services ran— dered in making contracts between freedmen and employers, either in ex amination, approving, witnessing, or registering contracts, or otherwise. He requests Assistant Commissioners to instruct their subordinates to the above effects. He recommends written contracts in all cases. Verbal contracts occasion much confusion. Bureau agents are urged to do all in their power to secure contracts for freedmen, and in tendering their services for this object, they should let it be understood that thev will be rendered without charge to par ties concerned. miscellaneous* Washington, Jan. 24—P.

FROM’NEW YORK. New York, Jan. 24. A special to the Now York Times says since November, leading politicians North and South, republicans, demo crats, and ex-Confederates, are alike working op a plan of conciliation be tween the North and South, the Execu tive and Congress. Suffrage and am nesty form the base of the proposition. For instance, South Carolina will adopt Massachusetts suffrage ; the President will issue amnesty. South Carolina, under Massachusetts suffrage, will elect loyal representatives, and Congress will determine their admission. The Administration is seriouslycco s sidering the proposition. The Tribune’s special says Gen. Ashley is busily engaged accumulating impeachment evidence.
