Some three or four warrants were issued for absent violators of the law. New Front.— Our friend George A. Oates, determined not to be outdone by bis neighbors, it having a handsome new iron front put into his store, which will give it a verv attractive appearance.

Still, our Firemen always know how to get up grand displays,quid the approaching one will doubtless, be one of that sort. Monroe Advertiser —We have re ceived a copy of the prospectus of a new paper, of the above title, to he published in the town of Forsyth, Mon roe county, Georgia, by James P. Har rison, Esq. Mr. Harrison lias purchased the Forsyth Journal, and will merge its subscription in the Advertiger.

Runaway. —A four horse team took fright just before dark yesterday on Broad street, and dashed down the street at a furious rate. At the corner near the Market they ran into several wagons, throwing down two of the tuulcs, and putting an end to their wild career. Among the vehicles with which they collided, was a buggy in which Dr. Felder was riding. He was thrown out, and received some painful bruises, and his buggy was badly damaged. It was fortunate that the damage was not more serious. i.ivkß News. —The Julia St, Clair left yesterday for Savannah. llie Baudy Moore ia expected to day. Pkbonky's Stock Sal* To-Day.— The attention of our readers ia directed to the third great stock gala at the Pal ace Stables to-day. Tbe stock offered at this sale is first rate and in fine condition for present use. and we are assured that these sales are to be conducted in a spirit of the utmoit candor and fairness—that par ties will not be allowed to put off a spu rious for a genuine article. That all known defects hi either mules or horses, will be frankly given to the crowd- Upon this basis only, is It hop.-d or desired to establish n new fea ture in the method of supplying stock to our planting (riends and others in wuntot them. Therefore we would advise our friends if they want to buy or have stouk to be on hand to-morrow. From the Altar to the Tomb.— Wc have seldom recorded a more touch* ing dispensation of the destroying angel than the death of Mrs. Kill.;, the young and beautiful bride of T P. Brafieh, Esq., and daughter of Captain Thomas P. Stovall, of this City. She died very suddenly, on yesterday, of acute rheu matism. It is but a few weeks since she was led to the altar, in the bloom and freshness of health and beauty, with such promise of happiness as elicited the congratulations of the wide circle in which she was a cherished favorite. How true, that— ‘-Death loves a shining mark.” The whole community sympathize with the husband and family of this lovelv young lady, in their crushing affliction. The Hanlons.—We have seldom, i ever, had an entertainment in Augusta presenting such varied and striking ex cellencies. as are embraced in the Han lon combination, which have just opened at Concert Hall. Unlike too many ot the dramatic companies which have favored us with one or two actors o merit, while, the balance bore us with their mediocrity—Every member of this Troupe is of the first order of excellence, and the mind is kept in constant play of admiration and wonder as each succes sive feature of the varied programme is presented. Senorita Rosita illustrated the poetry of motion in her light rope and fully proved the claim to the high praise bestowed on her by the press. The great feature-nf the evening is the wonderful posturing and acrobatic manoeuvres' of the the three brothers who are as perfect in their physical de velopment us in their marvelous acting. Tiie tricks of the performing dogs and monkeys were very amusing, and showed the surprising aptness of those animals in the hands of a patient and devoted master. The grace and skill displayed by tbe Juggler is an attractive feature of the programme. The Sphynx and Shadow Pantomime are amusing and ingenious novelties. Indeed, the whole performance is worthy of praise, and we cordially endorse tbe . following farewell allusion to this com pany. by the Charleston Courier, at the conclusion of a most successful season in that city: “Their performances, whilst combining the miraculous in tbe aerobatic art, tbe ludicrous and wonder •ful in the juggling line, and perfection itself in the exhibition of the sagacious in monkeys and dogs, aie all free from anything which can offend the most sen sitive taste. If our neighbors in Au gusta fail to patronize the Hanlons, they should only be excused by pleading the ‘contraction of the currency.’ ’’ St. Valentine’s Day. —To morrow— 14th—is the day set apart for the t!is patch of love-laden missives, by modest maids and pensive swains who may avail themselves of this delicate mode of placing their offerings on tho altar of Cupid. We are told that St. Valentine was a holy priest, aud that he was arrested by Claudius 11. for his intoller ant persecution of those who repudiated his faith, aud after ineffectual attempts to make him recant and renounce his religious belief, was beheaded, on the 14th of February, by the Prefect at Rome. We do not understand why the fickle goddess of love should have selected this grim and incorrigible old prelate as tbe patron saint of the tender passion. Rut it is said that love works by contraries, and we may accept its time-honored decrees and ask no pro fane questions. It is enough for us to know that Cupid will assert his preroga tive on the occasion, and that lie will bear any number of tender missives to tbe members of his court. The coarse jests and vulgar cariea. tures which obtain currency on this day, are perversions of its priviliges—for the sentiment of love is too sacred to be trifled with, and the tender associations which relate to the union of hearts and hands should not be made the agencies of inflicting pain, or indulging a spirit of jealousy or reveDge. But, since practical jokes have be come a part of the pastime of the day, let them he conveyed and received in the right spirit, that no pangs may lin ger in the yo.sy bowers where Cupid twangs the bow and points the arrow. Stepping into our friend Quinn’s, at the Literary Depot, on Broad street, opposite our office, we found there a great variety of these missives, em bracing the beautiful, the sentimental, the offerings of friendship, (he sarcastic, the comic, the ludicrous, and the sug gestive caricature, in fact something to suit the tastes of all classes of people, and all sizes of purses, ranging in price from ten cents to ten dollars each. The number of immigrants arrived in New York from January Ist, to Feb ruary G, was 7,883, against 11,260 same time last year. County Court.— Yesterday the fol lowing cases were tried by the County Court: State M Bon. Allen, '(coi’d) Larceny from the house—Verdict, not guilty. State vs Frederick Hudson, (coVd) cheat and swindler—Verdict not guilty. State vs Isaac Hatcher, (col’d) simple Larceny—Verdict guilty. State w Ann Stnilie, (col'd) Larceny from the house—Verdict guilty. State si John Goodwyn, (col’d) I.nr ceny from the house—Verdict guilty. Staters John McKewen, (white) Lar ceny from the house—Verdict not guilty. Coi.oßßi> Child Drowned, —An in fant child of Delia Wright, a freed womnn, was drowned in the river at the lower end of the City yesterday morning. The circumstance as detailed to us was as follows; A small colored boy was nursiug the infant, on the hank of the river, and allowed the latter to crawl too near the edge, whence it rolled down th e bank and fell into the river, breaking its neck. A white man who was in a bateau at the time saw the occurrence and went to the rescue; but it was too late to do any good. He, however, suc ceeded iu recovering the body of the infant. At an election held the 11th instant at the Town of Hamburg, S. C., the following Intendant and Wardens were elected to serve the ensuing year : J. J. Kennedy, Esq., Intendant. Titos. Dunagin, 0. McDonald, George Damm, • Levy Hii.l, S. E. Bowers, E. R. Cunningham. Wardens. To Cure Chilblains. —lt is stated that .the skin from the leaf lard in the hog, will prove a sure cure for frozen feet, bunions, and chilblains, if worn over the part affected, and inside the stocking for a week or ten days. The Augusta Daily Press is one of the liveliest and cheapest dailies in Georgia. Our brother, Mr. Puglie, is a preserving man, and notwithstanding his “drawbacks,” lie is pressing onward with energy and zeal.— Greensboro (Ga.) Gazette. Anecdote of J. Caesar—By the Same.— Csesar stood upon the highest pinnacle of «his glory, and reviewed bis adamantine legions. As the countless multitudes passed before him, sad thoughts crowded into his mind. “Alas !" thought he, “but a short while, and all these will have passed away ; a thousand years from now, and scarcely one ot them will survive. Alas! and is it so? Alas! Alas! Ha! Ha!” A Tombola in Columbus.—The peo ple of Columbus have organized what they call a Grand “Tombola,” by which the rich and poor can aid in raising a fund for the relief of Jefferson Davis and his family. Each person can give anything he or she wishes, from a paper of pins lo a bale of cotton. These arti cles are to be numbered us received, and the drawing conducted as follows: On the night of the supper the tickets sold will be placed in a box, and the first one drawn will take the prize numbered one —and so on till all are drawn. Provided the sale of tickets reaches 2,000, a library of a hundred volumes will he awarded to the holder of the last ticket drawn. The names of a number of leading ladies and gentlemen ot Columbus are published iu connection with the affair, and contributions are solicited. Appli cants for tickets by mail must address W. B.

TO THE ASSOCIATEDPRESS. FROM WAEHIIfGTOIL Coll tt rcm. loiml. SENATE. Washington, Feb. 12—P. M. Before work the bill of Major Gen, Mower, Bureau Commissioner of Louis iana, was assigned to duty according to his Brevet rank. General Kiddoo, Bureau Commis sioner in Texas, was relieved, and ordered to report to the General Com manding the Department of the Lakes. General Jeff. C. Davis, Bureau Com missioner of Kentucky, is relieved. The bill retiring compound interest notes was referred to the Judiciary Committee. Tbe Commerce Committee reported favorably to the bill amending tbe bill for the safety of passengers propelled by steam, Mr. Morrill introduced a bill regu luting the distribution of Freedraen’s Bureau funds. The Judiciary Committee were di rected to report on the expediency of a Constitutional Amendment, extending the Presidential term six years ; for bidding reeiectiou ; abolishing the office of Vice President and the Electo ral College. The bankrupt bill was then taken up. Mr. Sumner urged his Test Oath Amendment, leading the discussion on the affairs South. Mr. Howard learned from a gentle man just from Texas, that fifteen mur ders had been committed and no con victions. Mr. Doolittle defended the South. Mr. Chandler gave notice of a bill repealing the tariff, and establishing a uniform tariff' of fifty per cent, ad valo rem on all importations. The Bankrupt bill passed twenty to ten. Mr. Wilson introduced a bill to pay The Senate is in session to-uight. for quartermaster stores taken from loyal people. Committees to be ap - pointed for each Sta e, to whom all claims are to be referred. The bill was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. HOUSE. The Committee on Ways and Means were instructed to enquire into the expe diency o! allowing an abatement of ten pier Cent, of the tariff on goods imported in American bottoms. Mr- Elliott’s bill was resumed and amended by striking out tbe provision lor one representative to Congress. A long eoloquy ensued, the Democrats asking time for debate. Mr. Stevens ineffectually asked a postponement for the consideration of his bill. The motion was rejected by -10 to 89. Boyer and Harden spoke against the bill. Mr. Elliott read a lettev from Julian Neville, of New Orleans, a grandson of the revolutionary Neville, appealing for a loyal government in Louisiana; also resolutions of the Southern Loyalists Association, endorsing the bill. The House passed the bill 113 to 48. Re publicans voting nay —Baker, Bingham, Kuykendall, Stillwell. Thayer, Whaley. Mr. Stevens’ bill was resumed, and the House adjourned. Miscellaneous. Washington, Feb. 12—P. M. The Mexican Minister discredits the reported defeat and capture of Presi dent Juarez. The Republicans are tar from hope ful of getting Elliott’s bill through the Senate in time to become a law this session. It is popular with them, mid is considered an initiatory step. They expect to apply it to all the States. The District Supreme Court decides the Magruder case, who, after disavow ing allegiance to Great Britain and affirming his belief in the Christian Religion, swearing allegiance to the United States, was admitted to practice, and subsequently became a Confederate officer. In extenuation of his breaking the oath, Magruder plead that he be lieved that lie owed fealty first to bis native State, and next to the Federal Government. This Judge Carter main tained, itself would bar his admission, even if the test oath did not exist. The constitutionality, propriety, and necessity of tlie oath is undoubted by the Court. They did not argue the mandatory char acter of the Supreme Court in the deci sion of cases claimed to be different. These questions were regarding existing members here, and their original admission. He claimed the right intent in the Court to admit or reject appli cants, while the action of the Supreme Court itself, ruling by a bare majority of one, left the Court free to form its own opinions ot the rule regarding the test oath, and Magruder’s application was rejected. The committee to investigate tho Custom House funds at Boston show doubtful practice, implicating four Gov ernment officers, compromised for over one hundred thousand dollars, of which $50,000 only reached the Treasury. The committee say and insist that the exam ple thereby exhibited is a dangerous one, and the precedent, if it shall go unchecked and unrebuked, will detnor alize, if not debauch the whole public service of the country.
