Ritkr News. —The Two Boys left on
yesterday. The Hard Times is at the
wharf. River, five feet four inches.
Fiendish*—A step-mother in Chicago
has been indicted for burning, scalding,
whipping, starving, and freezing a little
step-daughter seven years old.
Latest Styles. —You will find at
M. Cohen’s, opposite the Augusta Ho
tel, a very full assortment of Boots and
Shoes. The new styles for ladies and
misses are the very thing.
It is said that an editor in the oil
region is going to light his office with
gas from an abandoned oil well. We
know editors who are gassy enough
without any such contrivance.
Important, if True.— An exchange
says that turning down the wiok of a
kerosene lamp for the purpose ol leaving
a low flame on going to bed, or on
leaving the room of an evening, is
highly unsafe. The low flame generates
a poisonous air in the room, different
from, but quite as bad, if not worse in
its effects, than gas from a coal stove.
Kerosene Oil. —The New York
Herald says that several accidents have
recently occurred from explosions of
kerosene lamps, caused by the lamp
falling and breaking ; thinks there must
be some impurity in the oil, perhaps
burning fluid; and suggests that the
article should be tested wherever sold,
and those selling the impure, punished
for the offeuse. We beiieve that the
merchants of Augusta usually submit
their supply to a test before selling.
Good Idea. —The Tuscaloosa Monilor
urges that the wisest way for the State
to aid the destitute poor of the State,
who are able to work, is for the State to
aid the railroad enterprises which are
suspended ior want of means, and give
employment to the poor ; thus, while
feeding the needy, she will be also
adding to the productive capital of the
country.
. The Fireside and the Ledger.—
These are two capital literary papers
published in Lynchburg, Va.—pub
lished alternate Saturdays, the first at
$2 per atiuum, and the second at $1
per annum. They are published by
C. C. de Nordendorf, and contain por
traits and a great variety of interesting
reading ; and with each number of the
Ftreslie is sent a piece or two of sheet
music. We bespeak for these journals
a liberal patronage, North and South,
but particularly the latter.
Boses.—Relative to the exactions
made upon us by our cotemporaries in
the matter of telegraphic reports, we
Are diposed to address one of them with
the words which Shakspeare puts into
the mouth of Brabautio, addressing
Othello :
"Come hither Hoor(e),
I here do give thee that with all my
heart,
Which (but thou hast already) with all
my heart
I would keep from thee.”
[Othello, Act 1, Scene 3.
Gpon Farhug.™Some years ago
Dr. Cloud, etHtor of the American Col.
ton Planter, by manuring and i areful
culture, raised 6,898 pounds of seed Cot
ton to the acre on pine land in Macon
bounty, Alabama* By the same system
of culture, Gen. Dunlup, of Mississippi
picked five pounds of seed Cptton by
weight from a single stalk. It dots pay
to f»rm well, anywhere, In anew or old
country. Facts like these should induce
planters to Mail themselves liberally ot
such artificial manures as arc adapted
to tbeir soils.
March or Events. —Three little
eve nta Me looked for in the history of
tbs rsysl family in March—one by
Princess Christian, Princess of
sod Pi incess Mary, respectively.
* Liberal.-—A HAudidate for the office
of City Recorder offers to give one half
of his salary to the poor, if elected. That
Is certainly very liberal. We have heard
of another gentleman who, previous to
the laie Council election, offered to give
the City SSOO a year, for the privilege
of keeping the Bridge. The spirit of
liberality is commendable and should
have its weight with tha City Council.
Novki. Way or Reducing the Debt.
—Some modern political economist sug
gests that there are twenty millions of
people in the North. If each one of
these would destroy a five cent currency
note daily, it would amount to a million
of dollars in a day toward the removal
of the national debt If this were done
every day tor a year, it would diminish
the debt by three hundred and sixty five
millions of dollars yearly, which is more
than the whole internal revenue pro
duces. We know a man, says an ex
change. who thinks it his duty to burn
a five-cent bill every day on this ac
count It is less than the tax on a glass
ot whiskey,
“Who’s to Blame?”— Some printer
who doesn’t wear Bernhardt's Australian
Pebble Spectacles, made us say some
queer things yesterday morning. We
wrote, or rather we tried to write, “C-
Amory Bruce, ye Working Agent of the
Hanlon Brothers;” but him of the stick
and rule made us say “Ainouy Bruce,
ye Walking Agent of the Hanliti Broth
ers” 1 Queer, wasn't it? Perhaps, after
all. it was the fault ot the writer, and
not of the poor printer. “Pity the prin
ter, says my Uncle Toby;” and so we
do. It is no easy affair to read bad
writing By gas light, and sometimes
(very seldom, ahem 1) we do write a lit
tle badly, and so it is no wonder that an
error or two will creep in. Hence our
query, “Who’s to Blame?” Nobody, of
course. So send us anew bat and don’t
say anything more about it. That’s all.
Letter from Marietta. —We pub
lish, this morning, a letter lrora one of
our subscribers in Marietta, which is
exceedingly gratifying to us, as showing
the kindly sympathy which our country
friends feel for us, and the practical ap
preciation which fhey exhibit for the
Daily Prebs. They may rest assured
that we shall spare no pains to keep up
the reputation of our journal, and to
make it worthy of their continued sup
port and encouragement. “Kiokeo” will
please accept our thanks for his cheer
ing letter. We shall be pleased to bear
from him often. And, by the way. our
country friends, generally, who have the
time and the inclination to write, will
confer a favor us and the readers of our
paper by writing us a letter occasionally
for publication, embracing a statement
of the condition of the crops, and the
local news of their respective neighbor
hoods.
Recorder's Court.—A pugnacious

somebody makes him mad, and some

wag dismissed.
A couple of brothers, who had what a
City Local ca Is “a happy tight,” and
resulted in an unhappy fight—no, not

of the City.
A couple of gentleman who rode rath

One came down with one dollar and

Swinburne's L*ua Veneris, and
other Poems and Bai.lads.—“There is
a music of strength in these poems, out
spoken honesty, a sturdy love of free
dom, earnestness, poetic insight, truth,
and beauty of expression beyond any
thing attained to by other of the young
poets of the day. * * * In some of
the poems are the passions of youth
fearlessly expressed, and stirring depths
that have been stirred hitherto by no
poet in bis youth. * * * •Heis a
young poet with sterling qualities, and
the outcry that has been made over his
volume is not very creditable to bis
critics. * * * It is the ferment of
good wine, and we must think they are
no skilled judges of the wine of thought
who shake their heads over it.” * * *

Suffrage in the Several States.
—Only five States—Maine. Vermont,
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island—make no legal distinction
among their citizens on the ground of
color. In New York, colored citizens,
to be voters, must be owners of a free
hold worth $250. All the other States
deny the right of suffrage to the negro.
Indians have a right of voting in the
New England States, in Michigan, Wis*
cousin, California, and Minnesota.
Chinamen are expressly excluded in
California, Oregon, and Nevada. In
diana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota,'
Oregen, Kansas, and Illinois, admit as
voters those not yet citizens. A vote to
extend the right of sugrage to negroes
was taken in 1865 in Connecticut
(Ofct. 2), Colorado (Sept. -), Wisconsin
(Nov. 7), and Minnesota (Nov. 7)., All
these four States declared against
negro suffrage.

Thrilling Scenes on the Ice, —The
New York correspondent of the Charles
ton Courier gives the following gruphic
description of the adventures of the
people of New York and Brooklyn, on
the ice in East river, during the late
“ccld snap: ”
New York, Jan. 24.
Yesterday winter indulged in another
merry freak. It consolidated the ice in
the East River, and gave to the Brook
liu people, lor several hours, a bridge
between the two cities. The ferry boats
were locked up in their docks, and who
would cross must needs go on foot. At
least ten thousand people availed them
selves of this opportunity. The scene
was novel in the extreme. From shore
to shore passed a procession of human
beings of both sexes and all ages, look
ing very much like a stream of busy
black ants over a sand hill.
About eleven o’clock in the forenoon,
the ice commenced to move again, and
then began a sense of confusion and
dismay. Several hundred people were
on the river, and suddenly found them
selves separating (torn each other on
cakes of ice, and floating out toward the
ocean. Death, in one of its most horrid
shapes, stared them in the face, and
there were shrieks of fright, wild gestic
ulatious, signals of distress, and even
getting down upon knees with the hum
bling of prayers. Crowds of people
lined both snores and were quite as
much alarmed as the unfortunate
voyagers. It never occurred to the
victims of misplaced confidence, to
imitate the example of the fugitive slave
of Mrs.' Stowe’s veracious novel, and
leap from cake to cake to freedom.
Seeing the danger, however, ferry boats,
lugs, and row boats put out in all
directions, and succeeded in rescuing
the frightened people, with the excep
tion of one man, who went under.
Among the well known persons who
were ieewrecked, were the wife of
Henry Ward Beecher and the wife of
Mr. Beach, of the New York Sun.
These ladies thought it would be jolly
tun to cross the river on an ice bridge,
and, against the remonstrances of some
of their friends, attempted the feat.
But they were carried away on a lump
of ice, and, to their terror, tound them
selves off the Battery. They were, how
ever, happily rescued, but very scared,
very wet, very cold, and very repentant.
White Labor.— ln reply to the popu
lar delusion that white people canDOt
raise cotton, especially on alluvial land,
the Baton Rouge Advocate instances the
case of a friend in that Parish, who, not
being able to procure .freedmen last
spring, set to work with his own boys
and one white man, and the result was
a crop of thirty bales of cotton.
Thousands of the planters of the
South, who had grown rich on the pro
ducts of their broad acres, made with
their own hands the Crops whose pro
ceeds bought their first slave.
Field labor on the alluvial lands of
the South is unquestionably trying to
the constitution, and especially to the
will; but very much of the popular idea
that white men cannot stand it, is bosh.
The Federal armies were exposed to the
severest hardships, all along our coast
and river swamps, and the statistics
show that the mortality among the
blacks was much greater than among
the whites. ‘Such labor 1b repulsive to
the will—trying to the energies—and
requires the pressure of strong necessity,
or of somewcoercive power, to make it
continuous and effective. The pressure
of necessity is upon our people, and tha.
result will be shown in the future pro
ducts of white labor at the South.

MOTLEY CORRESPONDENCE.
Washington, Nov. 21,1866. ,
Sir: i. citizen of the United States
addressed a letter to the Presi
dent from Paris, which repre
sents that he had travelled in
Europe last year, and had occasion
to see the ministers and consuls of
various countries; most of them are
bittariy hostile to the President and ad
ministration.
He adds that you do not pretend to
conceal “your disgust,” as he sayt you
style it, at the President’s whole eon
duct. That you despise American
democracy, and loudly proclaim that an
English gentleman is a model of human
perfection. That the President has
deserted pledges and principles in com
mon with Seward, who, you say, is
hopelessly degraded. Yonr denial or
confirmation is requested.
(Signed) Wh. H. Seward.
Motley replies: "His first impulse
was to content himself with a flat de
nial of the truth of the reports; but on
farther reflection, he did not wish thut
there should be a doubt as to his politi
cal sentiments. He always believed
that strong guarantees should be taken
against a recurrence of the rebellion,
and the re-cstablishment of slavery,
before the seceded States should be re
admitted to Congress. Latterly he in
clined to the opinion that the noblest
and safest course would be the Amend
ment ot the Constitution, prohibiting
any distinction of rac-e or color in the
franchise, together with general amnes
ty. These opinions in the privacy of
her own household, and to occasional
American visitors, he had not conceal
ed. He never thought, because a public
servant of the American people, that he
was deprived of the right of discussing
within his own walls, the grandest
subject that can interest freemen. Had
always been careful in such conversa
tions to avoid expressions disrespectful
towards the President or Cabinet. He
warmly denies the other allegations.
In conclusion, he tenders his resignation
of the post of Minister to Vienna.
