An Opera House.—There are seve ral projects on foot here to erect an Opera House in some elligible location in this City. Between them all, it is to be hoped that one at least will be success ful. The Registry List. —Gen.

Jno. D. Butt k Bro., are prepared to (urnisli these approved fertilizers in any desired quantity. They have 4 been used in Ma ryland and Virginia for many years, and are highly approved by the intelli. gent planters of those States. The price commends them to public attention. S6B to SY2 per ton. Dissolution.— Mr. H. C. Covert, of the popular firin of Williams, Covert & Cos., has disposed of his interest in the house in this City to Messrs. D. R. Williams and Geo. A. Jones, his late partners.

His career in this country was .neither ns long nor akbrillktut a# tbni of Kossuth. We doubt whether he made as much money as the Hungary patriot. Kossuth raised quite a handsome little sum here, upoh which lie has continued to exist abroad, and occasionally amuse his leisure by eloquent (eliminations against the Emperor of Austria.

New Banks. —The Charleston Courier says anew National Bank is about to be established in that city, with a capital of $300,000, nnd the privilege of making it $506,000. Assurances have been received from the Secretary of the Treasury that the requisite securities would be allowed to the bank, and most of tbe stock will be taken at tbe North. The necessity is very groat lor more banking facilities here, and it is probable that if the proper steps were taken, one could be organized. New Daily in Atlanta. —Wm. L. Scruggs, formerly of the Era, is about to issue anew daily paper iu Atlanta, to be called the Daily Opinion. He announces in his prospectus that his paper will contain the latest telegraphic reports. It is fortunate for Mr. Scruggs that the proprietors of the Atlanta pa pers nre so very unlike the two respec table dailies of Augusta—else he would have a bonus, say of a thousand dollars to pay for the privilege of dividing their telegraphic expenses. Remains of Captain Holland.— The remains of Captain Gill G. Hoi land, who was killed in the Confederate service May 7th, 1884, near Mobile, reached here on yesterday. Captain Holland was a member of an Alabama Regiment, and was a gallant soldier and efficient officer. He was well known and widely esteemed in this City, where hj had long resided before the war. 3he funeral will take place at three o’clock this afternoon, from tbe Ceme tery Chapel. After their Money.—Head Centre Stephens, of Fenian notoriety, now savs he never intended to commence the war in Ireland by the Ist of January, and that he only promised to do so, to keep up interest in the organization. In other words, the only way to make bis confiding countrymen “fork over’ was to deceive them. They will hardly be deceived again. Gen. Tillson.—lt is announced that, this efficient and popular officer, who has administered the affairs of the Freedmen’s Bureau in Georgia with so mnch skill, under the perplexing cir cumstances which have surrounded him —has resigned. He has purchased a plantation in Bryan county, and will make Georgia his future home. He is succeeded by Col. C. C. Sibley, of the 16th U. S. Infantry, who is commended by the Savannah press as an accom plished gentleman, and experienced officer. Buckwheat Cakes in Ten Minutes.

Jocknal. —The' January number of this valuable periodical is before us, replete with useful and interesting infor mation. The leading papers in this number, are from the pens of Drs. W*. H. Doughty, L. A. Dugas, DeSaus sere Ford, T. Fox. and H. Bence Jones. In addition to these, there is a great variety of editorial «nd miscellaneous articles, all of which are valuable to the medical profession.

It is published every alternate month at $5 per annum, in advance. It is worthy pf a liberal patronage. Liberality. —An exchange snys that the celebrated American English banker, Gporge Peabody, has since 1852, given away s4,ooo,ooo—an average ot übout SIOO a day tor fourteen • years, if we omit Sundays and holidays. If this wealthy and liberal man wishes to give any more where it is needed and will Ju a vast amount of goo<J> b't him send a few thousands of his sdrplus mil lions to the poor starving people of the upper part of this State, whom ‘‘Sher man’s burning’ fobbed of their last horse or mule, .took the lijtjfl they had left to five onj hud then destroyed their housed, turning them out to depend upon the charity of tbeir neighbors. Such . donations might not get his namo so prominently in the papers as if hd had given them to collegesaik| schools at the North, but we think they will be better placed to his ersdit On the big hooks above.— Havanmh Advertiser. A Harminizino >Suuukk.—W« have been informed that Tko proprietors of the Constitutionalist end Chronicle .<£•• &nti*el gave AJUQgppr on Fri day -night ffast, at tme of the City Hotels, at which several merchants and others were invited. It is said to have been a brilliant affair j and that Mr. Stockton, of the Constitutionalist made, a very conciliatory speech, in the tdui«el of which he expressed himself as friend ly disposed to all the papers,in tbe City —that he bad no-enmity.toward any of fheni, and wislidd them all well. We could very well reciprocate such senti ments, if Mr. Stockton had backed them op with action, for actions speak loudor than words, and are more convincing. If he had no enmity toward the Daily Press, or did not desire to crush it out, why’require us to pay a bonus of SI,OOO to himself ami Mr. Moore, lor that which bad cost them no bonus? Thpy did not have to pay it when they were admitted to tbe Associated Press. The Charleston Mercury was uot required; to pay it; and yet tbe Daily Press was forced to give it or do without the telegraphic news. Was this kindness and ! conciliation? Was it right? Was it legal? Was il harmoni*iug to give a supper for which our money doubtless paid, anti not in vite ns to partake of it? These are questions which if properly explained might lead to conciliation and harmony,- Wo have no enmity to gratify—no re venge to put in execution. All that we ask for is justice. Give us that, and we shall be as harmonious ms possible,- and join our coteinporaries heartily iu working for the good of the community. But what is the use of talking about harmony and kindly feelings unless they are put in practice ? That is what we desire to know. Yankee Decadence. —A Dr. Allen, of Lowell, Massachusetts, has expressed fears that the Yankee race is being run out of New England. He says that, in 1765, Massachusetts had 222,00(1 popu lation ; in 1860, it had 1,231,000 in habitants;. of whom 260,000 were of foreign birth, not including the children of foreign parents born in Massachu setts, the latter amounting in 1860 to nearly 1.000 more than the entire American population of the State. The births of Americans, he says, are ac tually less in number than the deaths of Americans, and with each successive generation, the foreign born population and their descendants add to their nu merical supremacy in Massachusetts. These facts apply to all tbe other New England States, and he argues that ultimately the unerring progress of events will result in what lie calls ‘■running the Yankee out ot New Eng land.” It is probable that the same rule holds good for all parts of the Union, and that at present tbe people ot foreign birth and. their descendants are in much greater numbers in the l ■ cited States than the descendants ot tbe people who were American citizens al the time of the adoption of tbe Con stitution. Immigration has added to our population and wealth enormously. —Exchange. The Chronicle and Sentinel published the above, with tho following addenda : Save us from the affliction. Run them to , but not here, if you please. Thus, while the leading journals of the South are pressing upon the North the assurance that emigrants from that section arc desired here, and will be not only protected, but welcomed and re ceived on terms of such social equality as tbeir intelligence and worth deserve —we find this “old and respectable paper”—thrusting in the faces of emi grants from New England taunts of the above contemptuous and insulting char acter. While our fields are being aban doned, and whileour mechanical and mi ning interests are dormant for want of capital and labor—this “conservative or gan” spurning tbe idea of New England immigration says: '“Run them to out not here if you please.” There is no illusion in tbe article quoted, to Radical and fanatic Yankees —but all men from New England are sent to-r at one dish.of the pen of the “native Georgian,” who counsels conservatism (?) in the columns ot the Chronicle <4?
