Aid for Jefferson Davis.
The Meeting at Masonic Hail on yes
terday, for the purpose of forming an asso
ciation, for the aid of the family of the il
lustrious prisoner who has lost his private
fortune, aud now suffers confinement in
our behalf, was attended by many of the
most influential ladies of the city. They
have enlisted heartily in the grateful
work, and exhibit the earnest and patri
otic devotion which has ever character
ized the ladies of Augusta.
For the purpose of accomplishing the
object of the Association with dispatch,
it was deemed best to select officers, and
appoint committees, to canvass the
City and suburbs for contributions to
the proposed fund. The following are
the officers of the Association :
President, Mrs. D.D. Steiner.
Secretary, Miss Saliie V. Hall.
Committee.
First Ward —Mrs. Alexander, Mrs.
Russell, Mrs. Wm. McLaws, Mrs.
Benj. Ficquet.
Second Ward. Mrs. Campfield,
Mrs. J. Jefferson Thomas, Mrs. Meyers,
Mrs. Potter.
Third Ward —Mrs. Wm. E. Jackson.
Mrs. John D. Butt. Mrs. John
Mrs. Jacob Danforth.
Fourth Ward —Mrs. Geo. T. Barnes,
Mrs. Hyams, Mrs. Frank Miller, Mrs. T.
N. Johnston.
Sand llii.ls —Mrs. Edgar, Mrs. Arte
mas Gould, Miss Sue Battey.
Woodlawx —Mrs. H. W. Hilliard,
Mrs. Col. Lallerstedt.
Pixey Woods —Mrs. Jesse Turpin,
Miss Saliie Twiggs.
Theso ladies will call on all our citi
zens, and afford them an opportunity of
contributing to the proposed fund. We
deem unnecessary to make any special
appeal in their behalf, believing that all
classes will esteem'it a privilege to have
an opportunity of giving expression to
their sympathy lor Mr. Davis in his
present position.
Erratum. —We have got an estima
ble young friend, Jno. W. Taliaferro,
Clerk of the City Court, tekeeping bad
hours. His advertisement stated that
his office hours would be from 9 A. M.,
to 1 P. M., and from 3 P. M., to 5 A.
M. Now that latter part doesn’t suit
John at all, and so we have changed it
to read from 3 P. M. to 5 P. M., which
will he more agreeable to the Clerk and
to those who have business with him.
Be Cautious. —At this season, in this
climate, the susceptibility of the system
to take cold is perhaps greater than any
other. The changes of the temperature
are more sudden aud severe, and tbp
temptation to carelessness is a constant
source of danger. In the morning,
when the sun beams out with almost
summer wa.rmth, we are apt to leave our
overcoat at home, or wear a pair of thin
boots; and the chances are that the
chills of evening will send us home with
influenza, or the seeds of a genuine con
gestion. A most dangerous, as well as
most common practice is that of dispen
sing with underclothing too soon. It
needs no medical authority to sanction
the suggestion, that these should he con
tinued—where worn at all—until all
danger of a return of chilly weather is
over. Better to suffer a little inconve
nience from surplus clothing occasion'
ally, than to contract, consumption, or
rheumatism, or other of the numerous
ills resulting from colds.
Thu Hanlon Brothers.—ln the
brief and necessarily hurried notice*
given after the close of their wonderful
performances, we cannot do this Com
pany as full justice as they merit. They
have certainly given our citizens the
most varied and interesting exhibitions,
which wo have seen for some time ; and
the delight of those who have attended
their performances is best endorsed by
the frequent plaudits Rtid shouts of
laughter which greet each phase of the
entertainment.
The performances of the three broth
ers is really wonderful. The agility
and dexterity of their gymnastic move
ments must he seen to be fully appre
ciated. They climb up on each aud
assume the most difficult positions with
itu agility and a dexterity which cannot
fail to surprise the beholder; aud ull
the time they keep up a running fire of
small talk, which serves to amuse the
audience, while their uimbleticss and
difficult positions astonish them.
The tight rope performance ol Mdlle.
Rosita displays considerable daring on
the part of the fair performer, and elicits
the frequent applause of the audience.
Mdile. Augustin is a graceful and
pleasing danseuse.
Mous. Agoust, as the Juggler, is
amusing and w onderful, tossing oranges,
plates, dishes, iron balls, eggs, aud bot
tles about iu a most surprising manner.
The Sphynx is curious, and the Shadow
Pantomine amusing.
Last night the three Flying Men kept
the audience iu a state ot breathless
astonishment, aud was received at its
close with a round of applause. It is
truly a wonderful feat.
Altogether, the entertainment is one
well calculated to please the publie gen
erally, and a visit to Concert Hall du
ring their performance here will not he
regretted.
Special Train. —We learn that
thirty or forty persons in Madison have
chartered a special train, which will
bring them to the City to see the
Hanlon’s tonight—returning after the
close of the performance.
To Medical Students. —We advise
ull students in medicine to read the ad
veitisement in our special column this
morning, headed as above. Dr. Wm.
H. Tutt, with a view to aid the young
practitioner in his start in life, has laid
in a complete Physician’s outfit, which
is offered ut. the extremely low rates of
from $25 to SIOO ; besides a full assort
ment of Saddle Bags, Vial Cases, Prof.
Dugas’ Pocket Instruments, etc. Read
the advertisement and give him a call.
The Fancy Bazaar, No. 253 Broad
Street is again iu full blast. Mr. Wea
thersbee is receiving a supply of new
goods by every steamer, anu iu addition,
is now manufacturing clothing and
gents shirts of every description and
style. Give him a call.
Lunatic Freedman.—A lunatic freed
man was arrested by the Police, yester
day, in the upper part of the City, where
he had been endeavoring to fight all
who came in his way, and fighting pecu
pie generally. He appears to be a dan
gerous lunatic, and should be taken care
of.
Recorder’s Court. —Only two cases
were before this Court yesterday—one
white 18th section, and one colored 18th
section. One was fined $5, ami one
$lO.
Stone Mountain, Feb. 10th, 1806.
Mr. Editor: — l must congratulate
you on the appearance of prosperity
which characterizes your valuable jour
nal. Is it due to that bonus which you
paid your generous City rivals ? Has
that stimulated you to renewed exer
tion ? Well, it was pretty hard on you,
Press, but you will make it all up,
if you will only keep on in your present
course. You ought to have an agent
through the country, to canvass for
your paper. It would do you a great
deal of good.
Yours, truly,
Amicus.
Ax Ugly Cat. —One of the principal
salesmen in an up town grocery store
who is proverbially fond of a little fun
recently had a cat of remarkable size,
and somewhat pugnacious disposition-
It had long been a custom with the firm
to have a couple of boxes in front of
the store, on which to display goods.—
These boxes at length were monopolized
by a set of loungers, who were annoying
to the whole establishment. One day
as .the window was up, our waggish
friend took the ferocious tom cat and
threw him out of the window into the
midst of the group on the boxes. The
explosion of a bomb shell in their midst
would scarcely have caused, more con
sternation than was occasioned by the
antics of the infuriated puss. The wag
gish clerk walked serenely to the door,
as il to see what was the matter, and
when told by several of the disturbed
loungers what had occurred, he coolly
remarked that “Tom was tho audacious
est cat he ever saw, anyhow—that he
had to vateh him all the time to keep
him from jumping on the customers.”
The loafers immediately changed their
base, and have never been seen on those
boxes since.
DehoSey’s Sale.—The third great
slock sale at the Palace Stables, will
take place this (Thursday) morning, at
10 o’clock. About sixty horses aud
tnules will be Bold without reserve.
At the same time, about sixty hogs
heads of dry salted bacon will he sold.
Heavy Snow. A correspondent
writing the Editor of the Savannah
News from Princeton, Mass., says he
had been obliged to shovel away the
snow for three days in succession to let
the light in at the highest panes of the
1 windows. In some places the drifts
tfere 30 feet deep.
Snlliko off at Cost.— Attention so
directed to the announcement of Mrs. E.
H. Pughe, offering a large and attrac
tive stock of dry goods and millinery at
New York cost, for the purpose of
changing’ tho business. The goods are
of recent selection, and embrace a great
variety of fashionable and desirable
styles. She respectfully solicits an in
spection of her stock.
Candidates. —We hear quite a num
ber of names mentioned in connection
with the caudidacy for Mayor at the
approaching Municipal election. They
are all those of old war horses, in Mu
nicipal politics (if a Mayor can be
a wor horse), and all that either one of
them will need to put him in office will
bo votes. Take our advice, gentlemen,
secure enough of these, announce your
names in the columns of the Daily
Press, rend our paper attentively, and
got your tickets printed at our Job
Office, aud get elected—if you can.
T hat is our advice. “Be virtuous aud
you will be happy.” Get voters enough,
and you will be Mayor.
P. S.—Only don’t, allow more than
fifty candidates to a Ward.
River News. —The Baudy Moore ar
rived yesterday, aud will leave at 12
o’clock to-day. River, about 8 feet.
Immigration. —The Senate of Kansas
passed a bill for the creation of an Im
migration bureau, and has appropriated
SIOO,OOO to carry out its object. If a
State of the West, to which the tide of
immigration has been setting for years,
finds it to her interest to extend such
inducements to settlers, how much more
important it is tor the States of the South
to adopt a like policy. It may be ar
gued that the condition of our State
Treasury does not warrant such an ex
penditure by the State ot Georgia. The
real question should be, will such an
appropriation add productive resources
enough to justify the expenditure ? It
is pretty evident that if we mako no
effort to attract immigration to make up
tor the loss we are sustaining by the
exodus of freedmen from our borders, we
shall lose in the depreciation of our
lauds, ten, aye, an hundred times more
than the cost of a judicious immigration
Bureau.
No Money for the South. —The
Federal Union refers to a letter written
to Edwin Q. Bell, of Npw York, by a
lady in Baldwin county, seeking to ob
tain a loan ou real estate. Mr. Bell
wrote her that “ every effort to effect
loans on real estate South, had been
unsuccessful. Capitalists are indisposed
to advance on such security while affairs
iu that section are so unsettled.”
The Eight Hour System. —The eight
hour system does not work in Indianap
olis, where it is enforced by the city and
the foundries. The employees are paid
by the hour, and do not earn enough to
support their families. It is pretty evi
dent that it will not work well anywhere,
for there is no law making the proceeds
ot eight hour’s labor worth as much as
the proceeds of the labor of ten hoursi
and therefore the loss must fall on the
labor interest, whether employed by the
piece or by the day.
Gen. Grant and the Indians.—
The corruption and imbecility of the
Indian Bureau Agents is attracting
considerable attention. It is stated
that the great cause of restlessness and
violence among the Indians is the fraud
practiced upon them by these sharpers.
Payments are made them in worthless
gewgaw's, and contracts made in good
faith are violated with impunity. Gen.
Grant is reported to have used the
following language, while writing to the
Secretary of War, concerning the way
the Indian affairs are managed:
“If the present practice is to be con
tinued, I do not see that any course is
left open to us but to withdraw" our
troops to the settlements, and call upon
Congress to provide means and troops
to carry on formidable hostilities against
the Indians, until all the Indians or all
the whites of the great plains, and be
tween the settlements on the Missouri
and the Pacific slope, are extermi
nated."
As Opinion as is an Opinion. —Gar
ihaldi has written a letter to an Ameri
can, which is published in the Paris
Union, wherein he applauds the elec
tion of black representatives by the
“generous population of Massachusetts,”
and promises to praise all similar de
monstrations of liberty and progress.
He hopes also that the President wil]
come to an understanding with Con
gress—in other words that he will offer
no objections to the agrarian legislation
which puts up the black, regardless of
the Constitution or the interest of the
whites. Garibaldi is doubtless a very
good fighter, hut writing is evidently
not his forte.
Music. —Every woman who has an
aptitude for music or singing, should
bless God for the gift, and cultivate it.
with diligence; not that she may dazzle
strangers, or win applause from a
crowd, but that she mRy bring gladness
to her own fireside. The influence of
music, in strengthening the affections,
is far from being perceived by many of
its admirers; a sweet melody hinds all
hearts together, as it were, with a golden
cord; it makes the pulses heat in
unison, and the heart thrill with sym
pathy. But the musie of the fireside
must be simple and unpretending ; it
does not require brilliancy of execution,
but tenderness of feeling—a merry tune
for the young—a more subdued strain
for tho aged—But none of the noisy
clap trap which is Bp popular in public.
— Arthur's Home Magazine.
—There are now at sea, homeward
bound from all parts of the world, an
American merchaiitile fleet of four hun
dred vessels of all kinds, of which two
hundred and two are bound for New
York, sixty-eight for Bos.ton, thiriy-two
for Philadelphia, the same number for
New Orleans, sixteen for Baltimore, and
the remainder lor other ports North or

FROM WASHINGTON.
Congressional.
SENATE.
Wasainoton, Fob. 13—P. M.
Mr. Pomeroy presented a petition
from Arkansas loyalists, asking an
amendment to Elliott’s bill, to include
Arkansas.
Mr, Wade moved to take up Elliott’s
House bill, hoping Senators would be
brief in their arguments.
Mr. Lane asked to proceed with the
regular business.
Mr. Wade said, “If the bill is not
acted on immediately, it could not
become a law this session.”
The Chair decided the bill could be
read at once, but required a unanimous
consent to go further.
A vote to take up prevailed, by 23
to 1!).
The bill was read.
Mr. Hendricks objected to further
proceedings. It lays over.
The Military Committee were tlis
charged from further consideration
of the bill to pay Tennessee Home
Guards.
The League Island bill was dis
cussed.
The Secretary of War was called on
for authority to appoiut a Commission
to adjudicate war claims of loyal Ten
nesseeans, and the amount and nature
of claims adjudicated.
Mr. Wade read a dispatch from a
Colorado mass meeting requesting ad
mission.
HOUSE.
The proceedings were generally unin
portant.
Mr. Stevens’ bill came up. He moved
the previous question, which was nega
tived.
Mr. Stevens proposed an amendment,
which, on objection, he withdrew, saying
he had tried vainly to satisfy geutlemeu
around him.
Mr. Boutwell argued that the Supreme
Court might decile that States were
still States, and entitled to representa
tion, which would cause a hazardous
conflict, but if the bill passed, the Su
preme Court would have no Government
to reorganize. Congress would keep iu
its own hands the political reorganiza
tion of the States by passing the bill.
At two o’clock Mr. Stevens again
moved the previous question, which was
negatived.
Mr. Bingham spoke iu opposition. Ho
took occasion highly to eulogize Mr.
Elliott’s bill.
Mr. Blaine moved the previous ques
tion, to refer the bill to the Judiciary
Committee, which was seconded.
Mr. Stevens spoke half au hour ; com
plained pathetically ; defended the Re
construction Committee; abused Bing
ham; opposed Elliott's bill, because it
mentioned something to be done which
looked like a finality leading to admis
sion. This position was greeted with,
“No, No.”
Shellaberger explained that there
was a special provision in Elliott’s bill
requiring the assent of Congress to the
proposed admission.
Mr. Stevens seemed regaining his
lost power, when the main question was
taken on Mr. Blaire’s motion to refer to
the Judiciary. The Democrats gene
rally voted with Blaire, but there were
two majority against it. Blaire’s bil
then passed 109 to 55.
Mr. Stevens exulted over the final
success of his bill, and asked the speak
er if it was in order for him to endorse
the declaration of “good old Lozertes,”
that heaven yet ruled and that there
were Gods above.
Adjourned.
Miscellaneous.
Washington, Feb. 13.
Counterfeit tens, National bank notes,
have appeared. Their general appear
ance is very good. The back is not well
executed, but the imita ion of blue is
excellent. The engraving of De-Soto’s
discovering the Mississippi is rather
inferior.
The District registers decide that a
Presidential pardon does not restore
Confederates to the franchise.
To facilitate the conversion of seven
thirties, due in August, the Treasury
Department proposes paying express
charges until the first of April to Wash
ington, and on bonds returned.
The steamer Cuyler, recently seized
at New York, will be permitted to sail
on the owners giving bond to twice tbe
value of the vessel. She is claimed by
Colombia as a war vessel and manned
by Confederates.
The Minister of Colombia is endea
voring to get better terms.
A negro was appointed to a first class
clerkship in the Treasury and a desk
assigned him to-day.
Mr. Steven’s hill as passed reads, “So
called Confederate States,” instead of
so called States.
Indiiui Treaty.
Washington, Feb. 13.
A treaty has been concluded with the
