Aid for Jefferson Davis.
Editor 11-iily Press : I see by the
papers, this morning, that an appeal
has been made to the citizens of Au
gusta —and the ladies particularly—to
interest themselves in raising funds for
the relief of Jefferson Davis. Feeling
confident that the kind hearted people
of our City will give their aid and en
couragement in the matter, and that
those who go to work in good earnest
in such a noblo cause will have their
labor rewarded, and being willing to aid
in any undertaking for the benefit of
Mr. Davis, I venture a suggestion
through your columns, which, I trust,
will meet the approval of every one.
Our City certainly contains a goodly
number of fun-loving people—if we may
be allowed to judge from the patronage
that has been so liberally extended to
Calico Balls, Masquerades, the Theatre,
and other places of amusement —and
certainly among the refined and intelli
gent community, the suggestion we
make will be carried out, and those who
relish fun will prove, too, that they have
a taste for music and literature, par
ticularly when it is known that the
cause is a noble one, and one in which
every citizen of Augusta should feel an
interest. There are many in o.ur City
who do not attend the ball room or the
theatre, who would share in the enjoy
ment of a varied entertainment, such
as tine music, select songs, and choice
literary productions ; and who would
extend their encouragement and aid to
a fine Literary and Musical Entertain
ment, gotten up for the benefit of Jef
ferson Davis. Nor will those who
patrouize other places of amusement
stand back upon such an occasion.
The suggestion I offer is this :
That the musical and literary talent
of our City may be united in giving, at
some some suitable time and place
agreed upon, for the benefit of Mr.
Davis, an entertainment that the public
generally wiil patronize, and that will
not only do credit to those interested in
the matter, burTbe the means of in
creasing, to a large amount, the funds
now being raised in onr midst for that
purpose. And we hardly think there
is one lady or gentleman in Augusta
who would refuse the aid of their talent
on such an occasion.
Now I make through your columns,
the suggestion that Dr. Couturier, who
lias so kindly aided upon so many occa
sions of the kind, will give his assistance,
and not only this, but that he will make
I,is willingness to do so known, by call
ing on some of the ladies and gentlemen
o! Augusta to unite with him the literary
and musicrl talent of the city, and give
for the benefit of Mr. Davis, such an en
tertainment as has never before been
witnessed in our midst—one that will
meet the approval and generous patron
age of the citizens at large, and that will
be to those who surely cannot fail to
appreciate such an entertainment, “a
least of reason and a flow of soul.” 1
offer the suggestion in the sincere hope
that it w,ll be acted upon, and one in
which I will unite with others in giving
the strength of heart and hand. Will
not Dr. Couturier respond to the sug
gestion ? and will not those who have
so liberally patronized “ Ladies Dalis,”
for the benefit of the poor—and “ Mas
querades, for their own fun, en
courage an entertainment in which all
% may share a part? Georgia.

Inconsistency.
Mr. Editor: I see that Charles
Estes, has become a great writer for the
papers, and I would—though an humble
individual—like to put one question to
him. Did you vote against giving the
poor watchmen ten dollars more a
month, and then, a meeting or two af
terwards vote one hundred thousand
dollars for the Columbia and Augusta
Hail Road ; I’d have you to know that I
have no objection to the Hoad! but
still, 1 want to know how you can, as
an expert in financiering, explain your
self? Refuse ten dollars increase for
the watchman, and vote one hundred
thousand lor the Kail Hoad I I want you
to explain yourself. None of your
blarney now, hut give js a pluin, square
answer and oblige One of 'em.
A Novel Ken hat ion. —The people of
Albany, New York, had u novel excite
ment a few days ago, over a pig, which
was turned loose on the ice. The sen
sation consisted in catching him by the
tail, which was greased. Thousands oi
men, women, and children collected to
witness the novel sport— amoug whom
were many of the grave members of the
State Legislature. After an excited
chase, in which piggy and his pursuers
cut some very ludicrous figures, the por
cino hero was captured uud borne in
triumph from the lake.

The Public Boads.
Mr Editor: —The communication
of “Traveller* iu yesterday’s paper, is
well-timed and judicious. I heartily
eudorae the suggestions in the roaiu.
Last year the county paid for roads,
$2,800, and bridges, between $5,000
and $(>,000. The roads are in awful
condition now, and the bridges not in
good order. The Inferior Court has
not shown any disposition to work them
this year, alledging “no funds" as the
excuse, wheu they applied to the Legis
lature for powerto levy an extraordinary
tax of 200 percent., which was granted
them, for this very purposo. I would
amend the suggestion of “Traveller’ as
follows: The bridges to bo included,
with lumber, with the roads, to bo in
spected by the Commissioner for that
road. The Commission! rs. if deemed
best, to select such assistants and su
perintendents, with power to compel
them to discharge their duties, by fine
or dismissal. No Commissioner to act
ns Superintendent. The following is
suggested us comprising a good Board
of Commissioners:
Savannah Road, (from Red’s to Me
Bean) —R. A. Allen.
Savannah Road, (from Red’s to Au
gusta—J. E. Burch.
Middleground or Waynesboro’ Road
—A. Sego.
Louisville Road—A. W. Rhodes.
Patterson Bridge Road J. A-
Rhodes.
Murray Mill Road—Janies McNair.
Walker’s Bridge and Farmer’s Bridge
Roads—James Brandon.
Milledgeville Road—Thomas Wylds.
Washington Road—Thomas Skin
ner.
If the Court cannot work the roads,
let them sell out to somebody who will.
Yours, truly,
Work Dorse.
Kentucky Harmony. —The Louis
ville Courier alludes with warm approval
to the action of the Legislature of that
State in enacting such laws as will tend
to quiet asperities and disturbances
growing out of the late war.
The sound common sense which has
characterized every movement in the
Legislature in its treatment of matters
referring to the rebellion, will, the editor
thinks, speedily work out its legitimate
result; and, despite the efforts of a dis
affected few to the contrary, peace and
good feeling will prevail, and all the bit
teruess and irritation resulting from the
war will soon entirely disappear.
This is most gratifying, and when we
consider the deep feeling engendered by
the divisions in that State during the
war, is quite surprising, and in the high
est degree creditable to the Kentucky
character. What a pity it is that a
modicum of the same fraternal good
sense cannot be diffused over the bor
der, among the people of Tennessee,
who seem not to have learned that the
war is over.
Masonic. —A Mason's Lodge is the
temple of peace, harmony, and brotherly
love. Nothing is allowed to enter which
has the remotest tendency to disturb the
quietude of its pursuits. A calm in
quiry into the beauty of moral geometry
may be prosecuted without excitement
and they constitute the chief employ
ment in the tile recesses of the Lodge.
The lessons of virtue from the East)
like rays of brilliant lights streaming
from the rising sun, illuminate the West
and South ; and as the work proceeds,
are carefully iinbided by the workmen.
Thus, while Wisdom contrives the plan
and instructs the workmen, Strength
lends its able support to the moral fab
ric, and Beauty adorns it with curious
and cunning workmanship. All this
is accomplished without the use of axe
hammer, or any other tool of brass or
iron, within the precinct of the teinple
to disturb the peaceful sanctity ot the
same.— Morris.
A Good Hog Crop. —The total hog
crop of the West for the Winter of 1866
is stated at 1,495,239, as compared with
1,391.518 during the Winter of 1805.
Chicago packed 382,000 the present sea
son ; Cincinnati, 380,000 ; St. Louis,
136,050; Louisville, 162,000; Milwau
kie, 86,000, and Indianapolis, 00,139.
In 1865 Chicago packed 501,463 ; Cin
cinnati 354,079, St. Louis 116,760,
Louisville 91,000, Milwaukie 92,000,
and Indianapolis 36.000,
Morai.s in Gotham. —Fighting the
tiger appears to be elevated to the rank
of a respectable and legitimate business
in Gotham, if we may judge from the
following advertisement, which appears
in the Herald of the 22nd:
“For rent, an elegant suite of parlors
on first floor on Broadway, between
Eighth and Tenth streets, suitable for a
Faro Bank. Address G. 8., Box
Postoffice.”
An official in Toronto received a bank
note, on the back of which the follow
ing was written : “This nolo is the
last of forty thousand pounds sterling,
all gone iu fun within four years. Hur
rah! I’m a mau again. Now for hard
work. Hell’s not far from here. Roll
up your sleeves, Tom. Breakers ahead !
All friends have disappeared like rats
troin an old ship. Never say die—
buckle to—grin and bear it. Thank
God for health and strength and good
spirits —spirits of the light sort. No
more old rye for this boy. Keep up
heart, old fellow, and go to work. Who
wants a hired man, ready for anything
that’s honest ?—T. H. R. 0.”
—A thick-headed squire, being
worsted by the Reverend Sydney Smith,
in an argument, look his revenge by
exclaiming :
“Jf I had a son who was au idiot, I
would muke him a parson.”
“Very likely,” said Sidney ; but I see
your father had a very different opin
ion.”
—A pair of liiiputians were brought
into the world by u lady of Preston,
Connecticut. One of the infants
weighed less than one pound and a half,
and the other a little over two and a
hall pounds. A lady's finger ring fits
their anus nicely.
