Hanlon Matinee —Of course the
little folks will all be permitted to see

attractions of this capital troupe this
afternoon at 2 o’clock. Admission for
adults SI.OO, children 50cts.
Smoking Seed Corn.—An Indiaman
says that hanging seed corn in a smoke
house, and leaving it there while the
meat is being smoked, will keep moles
and field mice from eating it after it is
planted.
Receiving Stolen Goods.-A “Bridge
Rower" was placed under bail to the
tune of SSOO, before justice Ker, on
yesterday, on a charge of receiving
stolen goods from negroes. The ease
will be brought up at the next term of
the City Court.
In Town. —A pleasant party of about
twenty persons came down from Madi
son yesterday morning, and after spend
ing a pleasant day about town went to
see. the Hanlon’s at night and returned
on the midnight train. We hope they
will come frequently and stay longer.
Daily Press Letter Sheet.—Our
Letter Sheet Prices Current will be is
sued at 12 o'clock to-day, containing a
careful review of the Augusta market.
This is the only Letter Sheet now pub
lished iu the City, and is furnished at
low the price of $3.00 a hundred. Orders
should be sent in on Friday.
Another Gift from Mr. Peabody.—
The Boston correspondent of the Spring
field Republican states that George Pea.
body, the London banker, has made a
gift of $140,000 to the Essex Institute,
located in Salem, Mass. SIOO,OOO for
the endowment of professorships and
SIO,OOO for buildings.
Who is it ?—We learn that, yesterday
n Broad street grocery merchant, on
being solicited to contribute to the relief
of the tatnily of the Honorable Jefferson
Davis, refused. The query is, “ Who is
it?” The ladies will be apt to tell.—
Constitutionalist. loth.
While we heartily sympathize with
the ladies in raising a fund for the re
lief of the family of Mr. Davis, and have
cooperated with them in the good work,
we do not believe it is discreet or proper
to attempt to extort contributions by
threats of popular odium. There may
be many in the community who are not
disposed to contribute to the fund, and
Mr. Davis would certaiuiy scorn any
offering, not the voluntary tribute of a
hearty sympathy.
For the past two weeks the Augusta
Constitutionalist has almost daily had a
communication from some party desiring
information about the City finances, or
answering the questions asked. The con
troversy has at last assumed such a per
sonal character that the Constitutionalist
has been obliged to shut down on them.
If the City Council of Augusta would
follow the example of ours, and publish
once a year a detailed statement of
receipts and expenditures, it would
save all this trouble and bad feeling.—
Sav. (Ga.) Advertiser.
The City Council of Augusta has
published, for several years past, such
a statement. But the question now
under discussion seems to be, what is
the bonded debt of the City, what the
bonds are given for, and what is the
amount of interest due upou them? We
believe that that is the point discussed ;
and we believe that it will all be settled
without “trouble and bad feeling.”
There is no necessity for either of the
latter conditions, aud wo are pleased to
be able to announce that all is serene at
present.
Coi-LtsioK.—The train on the South
Carolina Railroad was delayed about
two hours, yesterday, by a colision be
tween two freight traina beyond Fort
Mott. Nobody hart.
Goldkic Stationery Packages.— P.
Quinn, at the News Depot, opposite the
Daily Press Office, has received an

The Hanlon Combination. —With
the performances ol to-day, the Hanlon
Brothers will close their stay in our
City. They will give two exhibitions—
one at 2 o’clock, P. M., tor the accom
modation of families and children, uud
one at night as usual.
They have been very successful
during their brief stay in our City, and
have earned a deservedly professional
reputation, both for themselves and the
other portion of their entertainment.
They go hence to Atlanta, and we com
mend them and their Agents, Messrs.
Bruce and S mmouds, to the good
graces of our brethren of the press
abroad. They are courteous and ac"
commodating to the press, while their
exhibition is well calculated to attract
large audiences and please their pat
rons.
P. S. Since writing the above we
learn that in consequence of the contin
ued success of this excellent combina
tion, they have concluded to remain
next week, when a number of novelties
will be presented.
The Southern Relief Commission.—
The New York Evening Post , of Satur
day, says the Southern Relief Commis
sion met this afternoon. The sum of
$21,188 has has been collected. The
committee will make a report in a few
days.
Orders have been given for the pur
chase of 20,000 bushels of corn, 9,000
bushels of which will go to three points
in Alabama, 5,000 bushels to two points
in Georgia, 3,000 bushels to South Car
olina, aud 3,000 bushels to North Caro
lina.
This corn will be shipped, except that
for North Carolina, from a Western
market. The transportation will be
free. The committee needs funds to
•xecute much larger orders.
Sad Bereavement. —We are pained
to learn of the affliction sustained by the
family of our esteemed friend, Colonel
Thomas P. Stovall, of Augusta. Only
a few short weeks ago, his lovely and
accomplished daughter, Effie, stood
at the altar of St'. Paul's Church in that
city, the happy bride of Thos. P. Branch,
the well-known Banker. On yesterday,
her loving friends once more surrounded
her beautiful form in that consecrated
place—the bride of Death 1
May God sanctify to the fond parents
this translation of their only child, and
vouchsafe to the stricken husband a
full assurance of a blessed reunion
with the loved and lost in the Better
Land where partings are unknown.—
Macon Journal and Messenger, loth
instant.
Census Coming Homk to Roost.—
All accounts agree in'representing busi
ness as excessively dull all over the
North. It is said young men are pour,
ing by hundreds into New York for
employment, only to swell the ranks of
the thousands who have nothing to do.
Discharges from stores, factories, and
warehouses are taking place every day.
It hears especially hard, says
one, on laboring people, on mechan
ics, the better class ot workmen,
sewing women, and girls, who just live
under the best of circumstances. Heart
rending instances of suffering and want
are detailed daily. Those who make
their rounds among the homes of the
lowly, recite touching cases of want
among the honest poor, who would be
glad to earn a living if they could.
It is stated also that these evils are
attributed to the doings of the Radical
Congress, and that there is a growing
bitterness of feeling against that body.
It is believed, from the nature of things,
the lawless and violent measures they
are attempting to carry out, must un
hinge and unsettle the great business
interests of the country, and bring ruin
and misery upon the laboring classes.
If the youug men who are flocking
to the cities hunting in vain for employ
ment, will come South, they will find
promising employment iu our fertile
fields, and we will freely forgive any
agency they may have had in bringing
these hard times on them and us.
—Two highwaymen shot and killed
a man iu his buggy near Cincinnati on
Thursday night, and the horse taking
fright, run away with the corpse still iu
the vehicle until he was stopped by some
citizens. The murderers escaped with
out any of the booty they expected to
obtain by the muider.
Distress ik Viroinia.— A Washing
ton paper says that in consequence of
the prolonged cold weather, there is
great suffering among the whites and
freedmen in Virginia. It is reported
that over two thousand freedmen have
been thrown out of employment by the
•uspensiou of work in the tobacco fao"
toiies. The Freedmen’s Bureau is
issuing rations to the destitute, aud
Gen. O. H. Browne, Assistant Commie*
sioner of the Bureau, is in Washington
endeavoring to procure relief for them.
Manuriko Trees. — Now is a good
time, says the Maine Farmer, to put
some manure around your fruit trees.
The fall and early spring rains will carry
the soluble elements into the soil and
cause them to sturt with fresh vigor in
early spring and summer. Apple trees
will send out their roots a distance for
food. We recently cut off roots a dis
tance of forty feet from an apple tree.
Thus a single tree may extend its roots
across the diameter of a circle two hundred
and fifty feet in circumference. We are
inclined to the belief that manure should
uotbe placed close to the trunks of the
trees, but at a distance of a few feet
from them.
Fire in Savannah. —The extensive
milling establishment of Mr. J. M. Mul
ler, wus entirely destroyed on Thursday
morning. The building was situated at
the corner of Barnard and Gaston
streets. The grist mill contained 500
sacks ot corn and meal, besides 100
barrels of vinegar, etc., all of which was
consumed.
The News and Herald thus alludes to
the efficacy of a steamer on such an
occasiou :
The steamer Metropolitan was on
hand in good season and did effective
service. It is on such an occasion as
this that the steam fire engine is appre
ciated. It never gets tired; all it re
quires is water and fuel, and will work
as long as there is any occasion for it.
The Wheat Crop in England.—
As the supply of food in England effects
the demand for American breadstuff's,
the following statistics, furnished to the
London Times, may possess interest to
our readers:
The annual consumption of wheat
and Hour in the United Kingdom may
be taken at 18,500,000 quarters, of
which our average home growth is
12,000,000 quarters. The crop of 1866
is one eighth deficient—namely, 1,500,-
000 quarters, leaving 8,000,000 quar
ters to be imported between harvest
1866 and harvest 1867. The average
annual cost of wheat ami flour for the
last three years has been (at 41s pel
quarter) £37,925.900, and the probable
cost of the current year’s consumption
(at 58s per quarter) will be £53,650,000,
showing an excess of cost ol wheat and
flour beyond the average of three pre
ceding years of £15,725,000. This
makes no allowance for diminished con
sumption, as the higher price is more
than met by the general high rate of
wages, and these figures apply to wheat
and flour only, and do not include the
increase of price on other descriptions
of corn.
Last of the Confederacy. —There
were sold in this city on Saturday at
public auction, says the Lynchburg
Virginian, on account of the United
States, a lot of hospital or field stretch
ers, the property of the late Confederacy.
They were purchased by a commission
merchant at sixteen cents a piece, -and
will be converted, the cloth into grain
bags, and the wood into garden frames.
It was a sad sight, and suggested mourn
ful reflections. It spoke of pale faces
aud bleeding forms ; it spoke suffering
and anguish ; it spoke of battle and car
nage—of deleat aud victory; it spoke of
hunger and thirst aud exhaustion; it
spoke of blighted hopes aud broken
hearts—of vacant seats and mourning
homes ; it spoke of turled banners and
shattered lances, and it spoke of a brave
people ground beneath the heel of des
potic power. We turned from the scene
under the influence of these sad memo
ries.
Railroads in the United States.—
The progress made in the construction
of railroads in the United States is one
of the marvels ot the age. Within a
period of less than forty years, upwards
of fifty-one thousand miles ot steam
railroads have been constructed iu the
United States,' at an aggregate cost of
§1,502,5G4,000. In the six New Eng
land States there are 3.851 miles of rail
road completed and in use, constructed
at a cost of $150,091,483. In New
York, 3,025 30-100 miies, which cos 1
$152,670,769.
Iu Pennsylvania, where the first rail
road in the United States was construct
ed in 1800, 4,037 miles are in operation,
which cost $210,080,000. Iu addition
to her 4,037 miles of railway. Pennsyl
vania possesses upwards of 700 miles of
underground track, leadiug to coal
mines, iron ore beds and furnaces.
Efforts are being made by the au
thorities to put a stop to the semi-slave
trade which has for some time been car
ried on in Hesse-Darmstadt and Nassau.
Children of both sexes are hired or pur
chased from their parents and guard
ians. The boys are exported to the
principal European cities, where they
are employed in begging, playing the
hurdy-gurdy, and selling common ob
jects. The grown up girls are brought
to this country, and dance at the low
saloons.
—ln 1561, Philip 1., sent the young
Constable de Castile to Rome to con
gratulate Sextus V. on his advance
ment. The Pope said, “Are there so
few men in Spain that your King sends
me one without a beard ?” “Sir,” said
the fierce Spaniard, “if his Majesty had
possessed the least idea that you im
agined merit lay in a beard, he would
have deputed a goat to you, aud not a
gentleman.”
—A crinoline manufacturer iu Saxony
has made, during the last ten years, no
less than hoop skirt springs,
or enough to go around the world thir
teeeu times and a half.
—The largest plough factory iu the
world, is at Louisville, Ky. During the
working years since 1860, including the
present season, the factory has turned
out over 200,000 ploughs, and has at the
present time, a capacity of 100,000 a
year.

Congressional.
SENATE.
Washington, Feb. 15 —P. M.
The Judiciary Committee reported a
bill regarding the appeals removing
the statute of limitation in cases arising
in the rebellious States, and extending
the time one year from the passage of
the act.
A bill was introduced providing for
the removal to the District Court of
any case over SSOO, when one ot the
parties lives in one of the unrepresented
States.
Mr. Williams moved to take up Mr.
Stevens’ bill. ,
Mr. Sumner hoped the Louisiana bill
would take precedence.
Mr. Wade favored both, and was
indifferent which came first.
Mr. Stevens' bill was read.
Mr. Williams withdrew his amend
ment, fearing it would endanger the
bill. He hoped to reach a vote to
morrow night.
Mr. Johnson offered Mr Williams’
amendment. It is known as Mr. Blaine’s
amendment.
Mr. Stewart regretted that Mr. Wil
liams had changed his mind. Ho
wouldn’t vote for it unless amended.
He did not case if he stood alone, he
would vote for no bill leaving no escape
for the people of the South.
Mr. Wilson moved to amend Mr.
Blaine’s amendment, giving equal
rights in professions, schools, etc., to all
classes.
Mr. Wilson favored the bill, as it
came from the House, but if amended,
desired this addition. He regarded the
battle for impartial suffrage fought and
won.
Mr. Howard objected, because the
amendment acknowledges the validity
of State Governments.
At 4.30 o’clock, Mr. Williams moved
a recess till 7 o’clock, when he ex
pected the Senate to act till it passed
the bill.
HOUSE.
A number of private bills were
considered.
The Bounty bill was resumed. Its
provisions exclude prisoners who joined
the Federal army. The course of argu
ment arrayed the West against New
England. Considerable bitterness was
exhibited.
An amendment provoking the discus
sion was defeated 74 to 85. The bill
passed. Estimates of money required
to pay the bounties range from two hun
dred and fifty millions to six hundred
millions.
The Bankrupt bill was up. A vote
to table the Senate amendment was lost
63 to 65.
A recess was theu taken.

Washington, F
The Senate 1.. :t night r
authorizing ... nbmaiino
the Mississippi at St. Louis. J
The House struck out the whiskey
license, leaving it as now.
Mr. Bingham voted for Mr. Steven’s
bill, notwithstanding his opposition
to it.
The movement in favor of Mr. Blair's
amendment, making the adoption of
the Constitutional Araeudment, and with
universal suffrage appended, a finality,
gains ground. Several Republican
Senators will help the Democrats to fight
the bill, unless the amendment is added,
which will take it back to the House.
There’s really some hope that the bill
will go over. As the crisis approaches,
Senators are becoming serious over the
responsibility of fathering the bills.
The Land Commissioners have re
ceived returns from Jackson, Mississip
pi, showing 96 farms, aggregating over
5,000 acres added to the productive
force of that State. The Stockbridge
Indians, have by treaty, relinquished

New York, Feb. 15.
The Herald's Washington special
says : The Southern loyalists are getting
afraid of Elliott’s bill. They have appre
hensions of having negro Governors
and Legislators.
Capt. Olney of the steamer “Washing,
ton Irving,” has been arrested on a re
quisition of Gov. Pierpont, charged with
