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 South. Bn CclfgVajJt). TO THK AHHOCIATKDPRKBB. 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 Kaw Indians to leave Kansas. Their destination has not transpired. THE MARKETS. Financial. New York, Feb. 13.
