Arrested.—A dispatch was received
on yesterday, stating that (our nieit were
arrested at White Pond, in South Caro
lina, charged with burning the Vau
cluse Factory, a few weeks ago. They
were brought to this city for safe keep
ing.
Library Association. —There was a
very good attendance at the meeting at
the Library and Reading Rooms last
night, in regard to furthering the inter
ests of the Association, etc. Commit
tees were appointed, and it is hoped that
the effort will meet with abundant
success.
To the Ladies. —The Ladies are
especially invited to eall at the new
Shoe Store of Blodgett & Cos. —old stand
of Richards & Bro.—and look at their
new and elegant styles of Gaiters. They
are believed to be the most elegent
article of the kind ever brought to this
market. t

ral cases up before His Honor yesterday.
A 17th section case—shooting in the
City limits—was fined $5 and costs.
Three 18th section eases were fined
each, $5 and costs; another $1 and
costs; and two others continued. They
were not very sjrious affairs, and so got
off light.
The Hanlon's—Reserved Seats.—
The sale of reserved seats to this popu
lar entertainment will commence to-duy
at Schreiner & Son's, book and music
store. Price $1.50, secured by a check.
As the demand for seats is likely to be
very great, we advise our friends to
secure reserved seats, and thus avoid
unpleasant delay in the crowd at the
ticket office.
The Deep Snows. —A St. Joseph,
Mo., dispatch says that persons recently
arrived from the Northern plains report
the snow deeper than for many years.
In places along Little Blue River there

floods may be looked for in the spring,
when these huge bodies of snow melt.
Western emigrants, who are fascinated
with the bottoms’ of the Mississippi
should make a note..
Nice Mutton.— Mr. Baker has, at
his Meat House, some of the finest mut
ton that we have ever seeu. If any
body wants something really nice let
them go early this morning and get a
piece of it. They will not regret taking

handsome paintings to-day. One at 3
o’clock, P. M., for the accommodation
of those who cannot attend at nighty
and the other in the evening, which will
close their exhibition in this City for the
present.
We remind Our citizens of this fact,
aud advise those who have not yet seen
these really beautiful panoramas to avail
themselves of the present opportunity ol
doing so. Aud to our brethren ot the
Press abroad we commend the exhibi
tion aa a most praiseworthy one, and its
Manager, Mr. Wat as a courteous
and liberal gentleman.

'•Music HIS CttaafU,’ Etc.—So

shown their great appreciating qt
Divine afflatus by tabling thg Ordi

and Organ Grinders from playing in.
the peblic streets, Janes, aad alleys of
this City. Oh yes I by oil means let
us have tho "harp of a thousand

Just “men made** perfect”'with it; and
the fiddle, and the flute, and the hand
organ, and the innocent little Laza

who grinds out the delicioup strains,
and the dear little intelligent Moukey,
wit.i his fantastic tricks and his intelli
gent countenance and—tail ; and the
tamborine, and the handsome little girl
(generally about thirty or forty years of
age, you know), who beats it so nimbly,
and dances so gracefully, and asks you,
with such a sweet smW, for a small
contribution for the pleasure reudered !
Think of having all this and more
swept away at one fell swoop 1 Verily,
should we not exclaim, ‘‘Can such
things be and overcome us like u mid
summer's dream ?'’ Ratber unseason
able, but it’s the beat we’ve got at
present, and we think not How the
little juveniles, and the gay and festive
freedmen. will praise and thank the
Council for permitting this free amuse
ment to go on. It is true, it is some
times an annoyance, but it pleases some
folks and does no great harm, and so it
is well to let them go it on the free list
for the benefit of the admirers of those
styles of muslt*
The Hanlon Brothers. —These un
rivalled acrobats will give their first
entertainment in this City Monday
night, 11th instant. The following,
from the Savannah Advertiser, of a
recent date, will give some idea of
their power of attraction, when it is re
membered that the performance de
scribed was at the end of a long and
successful engagement :
"To say the Theatte was filled last
night would be giving but a faiut idea
of the vast concourse assembled at the
benefit of these daring performers.
The house was packed—full from pit to
dome—and was made to resound
throughout the entertainment with such
bursts of applause as has not been
known within its walls these many
days. The great serial feat of the
“Three Flying men of the Air” held
the auditors spell-bound with wonder,
fear, and admiration, and only gave
relief from painful suspense when the
daring gymnasts “returned again to
earth” at the conclusion of. certainly
the most dangerous and hazardous
perlormanee ol tbe kind ever attempted
within our recollection.
“Many new things were introduced—
all pleasing, wonderful, and marvellous.
In short, the Hanlons must be seen to
be appreciated ; words are inadequate
to do them justice, and we can only say
to our citizens that they present an
opportunity of witnessing the most
miraculous feats within the power of
man.”
Bishop Lynch’s Lecture.—Not
withstanding the inclemency of the
weather, a very respectable and appre
ciative audience was assembled at
Ma.-onie Hall last night, to listen to the
Lecture of Bishop Lynch.
The Bishop was introduced to the
audience by Jos. Ganabl, Esq., in a few
neat and appropriate remarks.
The Lecture was a most interesting
and learned one, and full of instruction
to those who had the good fortune to be
present, tracing the early discoveries in
America from the supposed voyages of
the Phoenicians to the more certain
and authenticated journeys of the Scan,
dinavians; concluding with the hope
that we should pass through all our
troubles and trials to a more glorious
season of peace and temporal prosperity.
We sincerely hope that the learned
Divine will favor our citizens with a
repetition of this lecture, or one on an
other subject; at some more propitious
time.
Affairs in South Western Geor
gia.—We had the pleasure of meeting
an old friend from Lee county, a few
days ago, whose name is familiar to the
people of the State, as au officer in
Lee’s army, and as an officer and mem
ber of the State Senate—nnd were
gratified to learn from him that.the in
dustrial interests of that section are far
from hopeless. He represents society
as quiet and well ordered; and the
freedmeu as doing far better than could
have been expected. The supply of
labor is not equal to the wants of the
county ; but with a proper degree of
energy, among whites and blacks, he
looks for good results in the future.
The Albany Xciox also gives a cheer
ful view of affairs, and says that every
thing in the farming line is moving
along smoothly in Baker. All are de
termined to make a good crop, the
season permitting. Those who have a
lull set of hands are planting a full
crop. Those who were not so fortunate,
are planting according to their force.
The despondency that prevailed some
weeks ago in reference to the planting
interest, in consequence of the difficulty
of obtaining hands; has given way to a
firm resolution that if they can’t make
a “whole loaf,” they -will be satisfied
with a “half one.” We are glad to sue
this spirit taking hold of our people. It
augurs well for the future. Let us
throw aside the false idea that labor is
disreputable, and take hold of the plow
ourselves, for by so doing we will induce
our laborers to work more, and infuse a
spirit of contentment among them.

. y v Cars Tt. Steamboats.
August a, Feb. ti, 1807.
To Hu Honor, the Mayor, and the Gen
tlemen of the City Council of Au
gusta :
Dear Fathers: Yon will excuse me
addressing you Ss Fathers. This I
d* in compliance stith public opinion.
»u fro called tbe City Fothem, I,
claim the privi
lege of calling you Fathers.
Well, it al.uoat makes me smile. I
know some of you will burst loose, right
and left, at my calling you Fathers.
You have pleased your childreu on
Washington street by passing a resolu
tion forbidding traius of curs drawn by
steam passing through our once quiet
city. •
There ire a great many nervous peo
ple in our family, some ol the feminine
gender who feel very thankful. lam
pleased to know you have a fellow feel
ing ; doubtless, our neives, your nerves >
and their nerves all chime. So far, so
good.
Now, you will please require steam
boats to unload at Sand Bar Ferry, or
to blow off ste tm and pole up to the
city. The latter is doubtless preferable,
for you know well when they used to
pole the boats all tlie way from Savan
nah here. Then poling was all the go.
Dear Fathers, things are not now as
thqy used to wa's. To, please, stop the
steamboats, for their snorting and blow
ing has done much mischief in our
family. If you was sleeping with me,
that terrible noise would drive every
seed out of your bead, or the brains out
of a gourd.
Oh ! it is perfectly terrifying. Dear
Fathers, do, don’t forget to let ofT steam
at the Ferry. By so doing yon will
oblige your child, Nf.lly.
P. S. If you can’t stop them all at
once, be sure and stop the "Two Boys"
aud one moare.
GEORGIA ITEMS.
The city tax on sales of cotton, in
Columbus, is one-tenth of one per cent.
Central Railroad stock sold in Savan
nah on Monday at sl)2 a share ; Atlan
tic and Gult Railroad $53; Southwestern
Railroad, $95 50.
One thousand and fifty-nine.' small
pox patients were receive*! at the
Atlanta S. P. Hospital from Jan. 1866,
to July, 1866.
Flynn's Star Dramatic Company are
performing in Macon.
Mr. Henry, an old citizen of Colum
bus, died of apoplexy, while at dinner
on Monday.
George McGinnis, a silversmith, died
of apoplexy in Albany a tew days ago.
The regular mail from this city to
Edgefield C. H., has been resumed.
Tbe Rome Courier says that the un
precedented large crop ol wheat sown
in this section of country looks remark
ably well.
The South and the Ohio Cities. —
The Louisville Journal notices the arriv
al in that city of Messrs. A. McDonald
and William H. Wilson, representatives
of capitalists in Canada and England
for the purpose of putting iu a bid for
twenty-five miles of the railroad line,
from Louisville to Knoxville. They
propose to part of the work
from Knoxville to the Kentucky line.
Their arrival in Louisville was the
occasion of much satisfaction to the
people of that city. A telegram from
Colonel Terry, the engineer at Knox,
ville, dated January 29, announced that
the letting of contracts would be delayed
for their arrival.
The great lino here alluded to is that
in which Louisville and Cincinnati tire
both interested, and is intended to com
municate with Charleston, S. C., and
constitute a most important outlet for
Western business. It is this road that
will render the Savannah Valley Road a
necessity, and make Augusta a great
railroad centre and a great depot for
Western produce.
How to Resume Specie Payments.—
A savan named D. M. Richardson, of
Detroit, has suggested a means whereby
the Government may resume specie
payments. It is nothing more nor less
than an export tax of ten cents a pound
on cotton. The crop of 1867 is put
down at 3,500,000, three-fourths of
which, he assumes, will be taken abroad,
and would yield, $105,000,000 in hard
rocks. The crop of ’6B will, he predicts
be 4,500,000, and the duty on the por.
tion exported would be $135,000,000.
This added to $80,000,000, which might
be derived from the present crop, would
make $320,000,000, which amount is
said to be enough to justify a return to
specie payments.
And we doubt not there are thousands
of just such simpletons as Richardson,
who not only think it would be right to
thus tax the great staple of the South
but that it would still be produced under
such an exaction.
Worthy of Imitation. —The Mobile
'JYibune tells of a wealthy landlord in
that city who deducted one third ot the
amount due Irom his tenants on notes
given the past year —receiving two thirds
of the amount and giving a receipt in
full, much to the gratification of poor
tenants. In view of the prospect aiiead
for the next four months, we hope to be
able to record the names of many fol
lowers of the above noble exumple in
this city. ; r> . _ .
Butler. —Brick Pomeroy publishes
ihe following for the edification of his
readers:
“X would like to be a General,
To search those wealthy rooms,
And like old General Butler
Steal Southern people’s spoons !
I would like to be a jGeuernl,
Covered O’er with brttliant blue,
To insult those Southern women,
As Butler used to do."

He says : “With my advancing years,
my attachment to my native land Ims
but become more devoted.” He gives
to the gentlemen addressed, in trust, an
income to be used for the formation
and encouragement of intellectual,
moral, or industrial education of the
young of the more destitute portions of
the South and Southwestern States. Be
sides this income, he authorizes them to
use 40 per cent, of the principal, within
two years. In addition, he places in
their hands Planters Bank bonds of
Mississippi, amounting, with interest,
to $1,100,000, the proceeds to be
added to and used for the purposes of
this trust. He leaves details with the
trustees, requesting that Mr. Winthrop
may be Chairman, Governor Hunt,
and Bishop Mcllwaine Vice Chairmen.
The trust has been accepted, and an
organization already effected, of which
Mr. Winthrop is Chairman. Commit

The speculation regarding the fate of
Mr. Stevens’ bill, is that it cannot reach
the Senate before Monday, where it will
be detained as long as its opponents
have wind to speak against it, as there
will be no Senate machinery curtailing
speeches. If kept lrom reaching the
President until after the 24th, it will die

THE UNDERSIGNED REG AGAIN AT THE Ot ENING OF THE SEVENTEENTH
YEAR of the existence of our House in the
STOVE AUD BOOSE FOIISHIHG
Trade, in its present position, to present its facilities and claims upon that patronage that
has, for many years past, placed it far in advance of all competitors.
STOVES.—In this department our stock is so large and varied that newspaper enu
merating in detail is impracticable. As our leading
FIRST CLASS COOK STOYE,
i WE OFFER THE
“GOOD SAMARITAN”
Which ia indicated by the above cut. This Store we have been selling for six years past,
in every case with PERFECT SATISFACTION to the buyer, and in beauty of design,
perfect adaptation to all the requirements of a
PERFECT AND COMPLETE COOK STOKE,
it stands to-day without a rival, as an inspection will convince the most careful exam
iner. AmoDg our other Cook Stoves we enumerate the*
“QUEEN OF THE SOUTH,” “MARION,”
“HAIiVEST QUEEN,” “RED JACKET,” Em, Etc.
All these are FIRST CLASS STOVES, well known throughput Georgia and South
Carolina. We have also a large variety of medium and seconders goods iu this line,
warranted to PERFORM \YEIL, but lighter weight and less expensive than those
enumerated.
HOUSE FURNISHING GOODS.—Our stock in this department is so LARGE aad
varied, so w©4 known during our long existence here, consisting of
PLAIN, PLANISHED, AND JAPANNED TINWARE.
WOOD, WILLOW,
AND
HOUSE FURNISHING HARDWARE. Etc-,
that we deem special enumeration entirely unnecessary. No pains will be spared to sus
tain the reputation, in this connection, that has, for sixteen years past, been so fully ac
corded us.
MANUFACTURING.—Strict attention will, as heretofore, be givon ip oar EX
TENSIVE W/ORKSIiOPS to everything pertaining to this department of our trade. In
thus branch of our business we promise NOTHING NEW. That same punctuality snd
caro for details that has been a well known characteristic of this House in times past will
be rigidly observed and continued.
TIN ROOFING.—Owing to the general stagnation in mercantile affairs just now,
we shall, MORE THAN EVER, give our closest and must ENERGETIC ATTENTION
to all kinds of
Heavy Oat Doors Work
in onr line. Our facilities and way of doing things in this connection are pretty well
known. We GUARANTEE, for soy REASONABLE TIME, all work done by us,
and wo are pleased to find, as our rapidly increasing patrouage in this diieclion abun
dantly attests, that.the public are beginning to appreciate this guarantee, aud to find
that it means JUST WHAT IT CARRIES ON ITS FACE WITHOUT DISCOUNT.
