All seats wili be free on the occasion, and the public are respectfully invited to attend. Lecture Postponed. —ln conse quence of the inclemency of the weather the lecture announced for last ni"ht, at Concert Hall, by Bishop Lynch, was postponed, and will, if the weather is favorable, be delivered to-night, at Masonic Hail. The W e atiikr,— ,-It is an old maxint to preserve silence when nothing good can be said—and consequently we have nothing to say of the weather on yes terday, for it was good for nothing, unless for ducks and other birds and animals of aquatic proclivity. It has rained pretty steadily for ti e last thirty six hours, and bids fair to rain as many more. Paradise Lost and the Apocalypse. —This attractive Exhibition wiil re open this evening at Concert Hall, To morrow afternoon there will be an exhi bition for the benefit of families, ladies, and children, who cannot visit it of an evening. J hose who have uot yet seen this beautiful production of the artists’ pencil and brush should avail themselves of the present opportunity, and enjoy the gorgeous spectacle. Sale or Horses and Mules. —Mr. Dehoney’s second great sale of horses and mules at anetion, came off on yester day. About fifty horses and mules were sold, among which was some fine family stock. Horses brought from $lO5 to S2BO. Match pairs brought from SBOO to $515. Mules brought from SIOO to S2OO. One pair brought $425. The sale will be continued on Thursday the 14th instant. The liECoiowtu. - *. Coubt.—We don't know if the bad folks, having found out that there was anew Recorder, are anx ious to test his qualities, or what is the cause; but the attendance has been con siderably increased since bia installation into office, and they generally get jus tice, sometimes vulgarly called “jessy 1” On yesterday morning, the 18tb sec tion was tbe favorite section for viola tion. One freed man for licking another wag fined $5. He probably belonged to the “Kiekapoos but he’joined tbe ‘•Paw nees,” for he had to pony up tbe cash. A couple of others who had a difficulty were required to pay, respectively, $2 and $1 and edits. * Another for kicking up a ruction had to pay $5 costs. And another of the same sort- was required to fork over u V also. The Hanlon Brothers. — These ex-* iraordinarv Athlete* and Gymnasts will givd a aeriea of entertainments in this City, commencing on Monday evening next. The Charleston papers are laviqh in yi raise of thtam ami the other portions of theif Combination, and our amusement lovers have raaaoat lo expect a very rich treat while the Brothers exhibit here. Seat* cab be secured in advance at Messrs. So|iriiii*r & Sons’ Music Store. A Word to Merchants. —We have recently henrd of a number of merchants from the interior who, having tried the Nctv York market, ex pressed themselves satisfied that they could do quits as well in this city. They moreover declare that hereafter they in tend to renew their stocks in this market. When the fluctuations in gold, aud con sequently in goods, are considered, it is evident that it is true policy Ibr dealers to ktep their stocks as nearly ns possible down lo the immediate wants of trade. They have lost heavily by holding large stocks on the declines that have more than ouee occurred during the last two years, and have determined to buy in smaller quantity, aud keep their slocks fresh. The expense is too great to justify frequent visits to New York, and they, therefore, have resolved to buy in this city. We believe the conclusions of these gentlemen are wise, and have no doubt that country merchants generally would find it to their interest to adopt the same course. In this connection we cannot with hold a suggestion to the who esaie deal ers here. It is one w hich may not seem entirely disinterested, but we are satisfied ot its importance. It 13, to let the country merchants know, by liberal and judicious advertising that you have the goods they want. Some of our largest dealers are the most liberal advertisers, while others seem not to realize the importance of this agency in building up trade. Next Governor of Alabama. —The Mobile Advertiser suggests the name of Alexander McKinstry as a suitable can didate tor Governor. He is said to be a mau of mark and of brains—of indtis. try and energy, and with every quality requisite in an executive officer. CiißiSTsiAp Presents. —The Ashtabula Sentinel says: ‘‘A highly respectable lady of Detroit has, on three Christmas days out of the last four, presented her delighted husband with a little ‘respon sibility.’ Date of births—December 25, 1863, 1865 and 1866.” Memphis Appeal. —This excellent daily has just been purchased by Messrs. Hogan & Cos. Albert Pike and St. Clair Hearing, Fsqrs., are announced as Editors. Mr. Hearing is, we believe, a brother of Dr. Hearing in this city. We hope his old Georgia friends will remem ber him in his new capacity. Tax on Advertising. —The Com mittee on Ways and Means, at a recent meeting, among other modifications of the tax bill, agreed to abolish the tax on newspaper advertising. Other ma terial changes are recommended, which will greatly reduce the revenue from internal sources. Memphis and Charleston Railroad. —The following are the receipts and expenditures of this road for the month of December, 1866 : For passengers $166,182.72; freights, $64,155.07; mails. $1,700; express. $6,200 ; other sources, $662. Total, $l7B 848.79. Expenses, $82,753.19. Net revenue, $96,096.60. With such a revenue it would seem that this road could well afford Ao unite * . W with other lines in reducing the present oppressive tariff of freights to the West. Freaks of the Types. —Our Macon cotemporaries give the following good humored turn to a typographical error: Too Emphatic. —ln the article of yesterday upon the “Deadlock” we were made to represent the Radicals as climbing ud to the ‘summit of universal dam nation.'' Domination, Mr. Printer. —Jdiirnal & Messenger , Gth. We do not think the “Mr. Printer” made much of a mistake, except that the place of “damnation,” is generally located at the base, instead of the sum in it, of the universe. By his slight infusion of brimstone, he has rather improved and galvanized the “Dead lock.”— Citizen. A Visit to Augusta. —Brother With ington, of the Savannah Advertise r, writes pleasantly of his late trip to Au gusta, t'rotn which we extract as fol lows: On reaching Augusta we put up at the Globe, kept by Mr. W. C. Hewitt, of Virginia, and well kept too. His rooms are comfortably furnished, his table well spread, servants attentive, and above all, be eives bis personal supervision to the comfort of his guests. We do not say this by way of a newspaper puff, for we paid our bills there just the same as any other guests, but because we hon estly think that he deserves tbe good opiuiou of the travelling public. On Saturday, happening in the Plan ters’, we were laid violent hands upon by our old acquaintance T. S. Nicker son, formerly of the Mills House in Charleston, and now running Nicker sou's hotel in Columbia and tbe Plan ters’ in Augusta. We accepted his invi tation to test the quality of bis dinner, and it is useless to say that we found it such a one .a* Nickerson knows how to set belore his guests. Our friends of tbe “art preservative” were overjoyed to see us, and we take occasion to tender ourthanksto “Admi ral” Nelson, of the Chronicle, “Commo dore” Stockton and Messrs. Ells and Judge, of the Coiistiluhonaliet, and Puglie, -Blome, Atkinson and all the balance of tbe Preen, for many favors shown, as well as for their exceedingly flattering notices of us. We owe you one, brothers, and hope soon to have the pleasure of nfeeting you in tbe Forest City, where wo will be üblo to reciprocate. We noticed many improvements in Augusta since our last visit, in the way pt modernizing the fronts of stores ; but there is still room for imprbvement, and our neighbors are uot, yet up K> Savan nah iu this line. GEO&GIA ITEMS. A detachment of United States sol diers has been sent to Dahlouega *‘to afford protection to life and property, and induce capital and labor to concen trate there to work the mines.” II The Dahlouega titynal contains a Communication recommending General day.to ratify the amendment in the’ city charter authorizing elections by wards, (he vote was 258 for ratification and 5 against it. Gov. Jenkins has ordered commis sions to issue to Wm. M. Sessions, Hi ram Warner, Wm. B. Fleming, Carlton B. Cole, Wnt. Gibson, Augustus Reese and John Clark, who hare been elected Judges of their respective cir cuits, Thomas J. Simmons is appointed temporarily Solicitor General for the Macon circuit. Win. 11. Hulsey, Albert B. Smith, S. Wise Parker, W. B. Ben nett, Etuory P. Edwards and N. A« Smith are elected, and commissions ordered to be issued to them. The Bainbridge Argun says that $30,000 of the subscription necessary to insure the completion of the Gulf Rond to that point has been put down, and the remaining $20,000, it is be Ijeved, will be forthcoming. The Marietta paper mills have under gone a thorough repair, and are now turning out a superior article of print ing paper. There are now forty or fifty business houses in Marietta, embracing every variety of merchandize. Captain De la Mesa, who lords it over the people ol Rome, has ordered the keepers of the Star Saloon lo take down their sign of a lone star. He also ordered another saloon keeper to re move his sign—the “Confederate Sa loon.” He is the great man who has six young men- of Rome in jail in Atlanta- for exhibiting a Confederate Flag in a tableaux representing the soldier's grave. Three small wooden buildings in Atlanta, between Marietta street and the bridge, were destroyed by fire yesterday about 4 o’clock, supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. The loss was small —probably not ex ceeding $2,000 for the buildings and contents. Americas Securities.— A writer in. the London Times explains why it is that American securities are so low in Europe, compared lo those of other countries of far less wealth and in lluence. The chief reason is alleged to be in the fact that Congress passed an act authorizing the issue of inconverti ble paper, and declared it to be legal tender. Every State in the North, with the honorable exception of Massachu setts —faithful it among the faithless found—availed itself promptly ol this law. and paid its creditors in a depre. ciated currency. Thus the English creditor who had lent SI,OOO in gold to the State of New York upon the promise ot six per cent, interest—that is, of an annual payment of s6o received S6O in paper, the value of which was at one time no more than $24 in gold, and even now is very little more than S4O - than this, if the bond became due, he was paid off with a sum varying from two fifths to two-thirds of what he had lent. Instead of getting back his thousand gold dollars, he received from four to six hundred. Massachusetts alone has paid in coin. Telegraphic News.— The Atlanta Intelligencer and Macon Telegraph , who used the weight of their influence and support to drive Mr. Craig from the field, evidently begin to realize their mistake. The Intelligencer introduces a paragraph from the latter paper as follows: There are no good and substantial reasons occurring to our mind at this moment why we should not endorse the paragraph subjoined, which we find in the Macon Telegraph of yesterday, with the remark that the quantity is not only largely reduced, but there is quite a perceptible depreciation in the quality. Then follows this extract 'front the Te'egraph: Our dispatches, since Mr. Craig’s op position got out of the way, have become “small by degrees and beautifully less.” We cannot now get even the markets, in which onr commercial friends are par ticularly interested, with anything like regularity. As the New Y’ork Associa tion has now the entire Southern press in its own hands, and that by the action of many of us who stood by it in its late contest for existence, it is due to its own reputation,as well as to us, that it should use every effort to supply us with all the important news of the day. German Pacification. —The work of pacification moves steadly on in Germany. The greatest obstacle in the way of pacification is the disposition to make social distinctions. In Frankfort, while the business peo ple,—tbe men of sense, who see and ac cept the situation—acquiesce in the new order of things, the ladies refuse to reco gnize Prussians in society. To such an extent has this aversion been carried, that ball tickets wear the initials “O. P.” (Oliiie Prtussen," without Prussians) nnd more than once the patricians of the City of Frankfort have bought up all the seats in the Theatre, to keep the Prussian officers out. On the other hand, the men of busi. ness—those who are to rule Frankfort, have petitioned the King to give them' the Prussian municipal system, though there is no Prussia party, so-called in the City. The press and the people, are working for the great end of unity, and it is believed that Inless than ten years North and South Germany will all be Prussian. —The Supreme Court at Washington has decided that Arkansas canot tax swamplands exempted by act of Con gress. Bn vEclccjrapl). I*o THT! ASSOCIATED X'lt KBS. FROM WASHINGTON. Congressional. Washing ton, Feb. 7. SENATE. The clerk read a dispatch from Nash ville, announcing universal suffrage in Tennessee. The Judiciary Committee reported bills enrolling and calling out the militia, and preventing corporal punishment. '1 he appropriation bill was taken up and discussed to the recess. HOUSE. After unimportant business the Re construction Committee Bill was taken up. Mr. Stevens had not made np bi s mind beyond desiring to.vote as early as possible. Would not agree to post pone a vote till Monday. Mr, Lctllond said the bill struck down civil government in the South; ignored State lines, aud broke down the Judi ciary, Mr. Raymond proposed, in view of its importance, to allow twenty minutes. It wns finally agreed to hold a night session for discussion. Mr. Ashley rose to an explanation re garding the newspaper correspondence, in which he took occasion to denounce the President, but denied complicity with Gen. Butler, or any intention to stab Gen. Grant in the back. 'I be Retrenchment Committee re ported favorably to the official conduct of Mr. Van Dyke, Assistant Treasurer of New York. Messrs. Stevens and Brandegee made characteristic speeches in favor of the bill. The latter says the bill commences where Grant left off two years ago. lie saw a promise that the sword of the Republic was about to be again un sheathpd. Mr. Lcßlond Finch opposed, and Mr. Pike favored the bill. Mr. Farnsworth followed on same side. Mr. Rogers spoke an hour in opposi tion, saying “Rather than see a military government established in this country, he, for one, would use the power the Almighty gave him in resisting an invasion of his liberties.” Mr. Thayer interrupted Mr. Rogers about its costing bis neck. Rogers continued, it the South had had the blood of Washington, Jefferson, and Madison, sages aud heroes ot the revolution, they would protest as their fathers had protested, by their blood against the despotism ot King George. He hoped the President of the United States would resist; would use the powers the Constitution gave him to compel traitors to obey the laws. If Andrew Johnson, added Rogers, would submit to see the country destroyed, his name w.ould go down with ignominy to posterity as a coward and a traitor, Bingham spoke very briefly, placing himself squarely in opposition to the measure, when the House took a recess till seven o’clock. Convention of Tobacco Manufac turers. Washington, Feb. 7. Tbe Tobacco Manufacturers’ Conven tion has been organized. J. A. Prague, of Ohio, is President; and there are seven Vice Presidents from as many States. Resolutions were adopted favoring a um'orm tax on all kinds of manufac tured smoking tobacco and snuff.

The Pennsylvania House passed the Constitutional Amendment' by a party votfe. The President has approved the hill punishing persons tampering with se curities and currency. It punishes printing thereon any advertisement; also the habeas corpus bill, from the behefit of which persons now held for rebellion are excluded. Fred Seward has arrived as mysteri ously as he departed. The Internal Revenue receipts to-day were over half a million dollars. FOREIGN NEWS. London, Feb. 6. Lord Stanley has asked Secretary Seward to state plainly the points ol claims on which arbitration is desired. Anew Atlantic Telegraph Company is forming via Azares and Halifax. FROM MEXICO.
