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 gentleman, who doesn’t fight only when somebody makes him mad, and some body did make him mad and “got his dander up,” and he did fight, was fined y ery lightly and so let off. His vis a-vis 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 exactly a fight, but a disorderly contest ot words, for which each was required to contribute 11 and costs to the support of the City. A couple of gentleman who rode rath er Gilpiu-like in the streets, were up. One came down with one dollar and costs. The other was let off - with nix. One colored 17th Section case, was fined one dollar and costs ; and a few other cases were continued. 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.” * * * —London Examiner. Mr. Quinn, Broad street, has the above work for sale. 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. A daughter of a Bt. Louis chimney sweep is shortly to be married, and the, father has issued ho less than eight hundred cards ot invitation. He is going to make a clean sweep, one time. GEORGIA ITEMS. Five citixens of Rome were arrested a tew day* ago, bv order of General Thomas, at the instance of the Bureau agent, for displaying a Confederate flag. Their names are R. J. Hutchings, L. T. Mitchell, M. J. Pate, H. P. Wells, and W. 8. Gibbons. They were taken to Atlanta, and are confined in the barracks. The LaGrange Reporter ot last week notices the death of Mr. Wiley Alford, One*of the oldest citizens of that place, which occurred the previous week. He was 75 years of age. The Roswell Manufacturing Company is doing a good business in Jeans, and is about to go into making prints. Suc cess to them. The Albany Patriot says the negroes have generally gone to work in that vicinity. Similar reports reach us from all Southwestern Georgia. A suit was brought in the Supreme Court in Macon the other day for repay ment of a debt which had been cancelled in Confederate money The jury dis missed the case, requiring each party to pay an equal part of the costs. The Greensboro’ Herald says the iron bridge over the Oconee river, being built by the Georgia Railroad, will be done in a short time. If any substantial evidence is needed to show that Georgia welcomes foreign ers to her borders, it is found in the fact that the laws denying foreigners the privilege ot holdiug real estate have been repealed. A correspondent of the Kentucky Gazette, writing trom Forsyth county, Ga., says that considerable interest is being’ felt in Middle and Southwestern Georgia in regard to the repudiation of old debts. In our fall elections he feels assured the issue of repudiation or no repudiation will be made generally. Mr. G. W. Gannar.y informs the editor of the Savannah News that the Emi grant Agencies in New York offer to furnish male emigrant laborers, who will contract to work at'the moderate charge of ten dollars per month. Mr. Garmany suggests that if neighborhoods will unite and bring out one huudred or more in a neighborhood, they will be contented, and make agreeable and profitable la borers. The Hawkinsville Dispatch announces the opening of the “spring fights” in that interesting little village. The Thomasville Enterprise is again urging the projectof the “South Georgia and Florida Railroad,” which is to run from Albany, through Thomasville, to wards Florida. 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. Bg Qfiegrapt). TO’JHE’A.aaOOIJIL’nKXY PBKDB. FROM WAEHIHGTOH. CM(r«il*aal, BBN ATE. ' Washington, Jan. 29—P. M. Correspondence relative to th« Aus trian Minister’s resignation was received aud laid on the tabte. The Colorado veto was read. Motions to postpone its consideration occupied the time of the Senate to the expiration of the morning hour, when the tariff bill was taken up and the Semite adjourned- BOUSE. The following are the yeas, commit ting Mr. Steavens’ bill to the Recon structiou Committee: Abcona, Baker, Banks, D. R. Ashley, Bingham, Blaine, Boyer, Buckland, Bundy, Campbell, Chanter, Conkliug, Cooper, Darling, Dawes, Dawson, Defrees, Delanot Denting, Deunison, Dodge, Eggleston, Eldridge, Farnsworth, Ferry, Finck, Garfield, Griswold, Hale, Aaron, Har ding, Harris, Hawkins, Hill, Hise, Hogan, Hooper, C.

H. Ward, Warner, H. D. Washburne, W. B- Washburne, Whaley, Walker, Wingfield, Wooldridge, Wright—Bß. The President submits the correspon dence relative to the Fraser Tren* holm & Cos. settlement. It involves unsatisfactory and contradictory orders to the agents of the Treasury, but shows no new facts. Allen B. Magruder applied for ad' mission to practice in the Supreme Court of the District. Judge Carter refused action, setting the case for a fall hearing before a full bench. Magruder is a member of th e Federal Supreme Coart, but cannot take the Test Oath. The Nebraska veto confines th 4 argu ment to inconsistency with the Enabling Act and Constitution, of the {additional section conferring suffrage on all citi zens by legislative action ; contrary to the Constitution, regularly adopted, on which Nebraska claims admission. He maintains indirectly, bnt positively, the right of States to regulate the franchise within their borders, and urges that or ganie changes proposed by Congress be submitted to the people of Nebraska. The House Committee on Elections asked (o be relieved from the considera tion of the illegal voting c.se in Mary land. The Committee could only en quire into the acts of the President and the Judiciary had him in hand. The Committee was -relieved, and the matter was referred to the Judiciary. The Retrenchment Committee re ported an elaborate bill regulating civil service. It provides that all appoint ments, except those constitutionally confided to the President, shall be made by three commissioners, who shall hold office five years, and be styled the Civil Service Examining Board, with five thousand dollars per annum salary each ; clerk two thousand, and messen ger six hundred dollars. Mr. Jackson made a long speech in favor of the bill, when it was postponed. The Speaker appointed Farnsworth on the Reconstruction Committee, vice Washburne, who lias leave of absence during the session. The Secretary of the Interior was called on for information relative to the Indian massacre. Schenck called the Indian Department ot the West thieves. The House went into a Committee on Appropriation, aud passed amendments prohibiting payments to Harvey, at Lisbon, or for the Minister at Rome — the latter in view of the prohibition of Protestant worship in Rome. Adjourned. Miscellaneous. Washington, Jan. 29. W. L. Sharkey, of Mississippi, was admitted an attorney in the Supreme Court. The Reconstruction Committee is hopelessly inharmonious. The phraseology of the exception to the bill securing habeas corpus to per sons imprisoned contrary to the Consti tution and treaties, is as follows: “And that the provisions of this act shall not apply to the case of any person held by the military authorities of the United States charged with military offence, or with having aided or abetted the rebel lion against the Government of the United States prior to the passage of this act.” Wheeling, Virginia, has elected De mocratic municipal officers, except the Treasurer. In the Maryland Legislature, the bill for a Constitutional Convention excludes preachers as delegates. Mr. Ashley is mooting the question whether the acts of Mr. Johnson, before becoming President, render him liable to impeachment. A letter from Mr. Guthrie expresses the hopelessless of physical ability to resqtne his seat. Gen. Grant was in consultation with the Committee on Military Affairs on yesterday. The Senate took no action whatever on the Colorado veto. Gen. Sickles will return to North Carolina in a few days and resume his command. A,hundred negroes from Saulshury, TV. C., left here to day en route for Ar kansM Colton plantations. 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. FROM NEW YORK. New York, Jan. 29. A meeting of the Executive Commit tee of the Southern Relief Commission was held at the Merchants’ Bank, W. M. Vermilye acting temporary Chairman.
