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 other lot of those unique stationery packages—all for fifty cents. Recokper's Court. —ln this Court, yesterday, the following cuses were dia. posed of: One 18th section case, fined $7.50 and costs. One 18th section case, fined $5 and costs. One 18th section case, fined $lO and costs. One 134th section case—ltinerant Trader—dismissed on compliance with terms of City Ordinance, and payment of costs. One 18th section case, fined $5 and costs. One 18th section case fined $5 and costs. "[These were man and wife, fam ily quarrels, etc.] One 51st section case—throwing ever greens in the streets—fined $5 and costs. And one 18th section case fined $1 and costs. Oue 18th section case was examined and the party requirtd to give bond in the sum ot S3OO for his appearance before the next term of the Richmond County Superior Court, on the charge of assault with intent to murder. 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. Bn fcfUgtctpl). TO TUB ABUOOIATBID I 3 XtEiBS. FBOM WASHINGTON. 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. .ttiscel tun eons. 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 their Wisconsin reservations. Washington, Feb. 15—P. M. Gov. Jas E. Brown and Judge D. A. Walker were admittad to the Supreme Court. FROM ROCHESTER. Rochester, N. Y., Feb. 15. — P. M. The ice broke and jammed against the bridge. Water rising rapidly. Unless the ice yields, the city west of the river will be flooded. FROM NEW YORK. 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 taking his vessel to sea while under attachment for debt. The owners of the steamer “Perit” were allowed, by the Admirality Court, twenty-five hun dred dollars for towing the “Delaware” into port. Fenian* at Valentin. The Government has advices of the landing of two ship loads of Fenians at Valentia. There is a wild rumor of their intention to cut the Cable. AUGUSTA MARKET. Friday, Feb. 15—P. M.
