RiYEit News. —Express arrived Mon
day night. The Two Boys, Express,
and Baudy Moore left for Savaunah.
River 5 feet 8 inches.
Cool. —We received a note yesterday
from a publishing house saying: ‘‘We
have sent you one ‘Polar Sea.' ” What
a delightful thing that would be to have
in the dog dtiys. Everybody ought to
have one. It will enable them to “keep
cool,” in the hot season.
The II r nlons, —This popular Com
bination continue to astonish their
audiences by their marvellous and
varied performances. Anew feat is
described in their advertisement, which
will he performed to night. As this
week positively closes their engage
ment, parties who wish to see them
should secure seats at once.
“Quick Sales and Small Profits.”—
This is the motto of the new Boot and
Shoe Store of E. F. Blodgett & Cos.,
next door below Bones & Brown. They
select their goods from the best manu
facturers, being determined to give sat
isfaction, and sell them at such rates as
as will induce customers who try them
once, to continue their patronage, f
Trunk Robbery. —A trunk was stolon
from the premises of Judge Gould, on
Monday evening last, shortly after dark.
The parties, who were freedraen, were
seen to enter and take the trunk out,
but it was not suspected that they had
no business with it at the time. We
understand that the trunk has been re
covered liut the contents were gone.
Fraternal. —The Masonic fraternity
ot Charleston, gave the delegation of
gentlemen of that order, who recently
visited Columbia with gifts to the lodges
of that city, a banquet at the Mills
House. The occasion was entiuened by
a happy interchange of speeches ami
toasts; many of the latter, published in
the Charleston papers, are singularly
happy.
We are requested by Dr. Couturier
to say in reply to the communication
addressed to him a few days ago, which
appeared in this paper, that he is per
fectly willing to do everything in his
power to assist in the proposed enter
tainment for the benefit of the family of
Jefferson Davis, and the only thing
necessary for the same being success
fully carried out, is the consent of a few
ladies to introduce vocal and instrumen
tal music. i
Recorder's Court. —There were
quite a number of cases up before this
tribunal yesterday.
“John Barleycorn and Mr. Key,
Had evidently got on a spree,
And sipping strongly of Bacchus* cup
Found themselves in the lock up.” t
Four members of the 18th Section
brigade, were filled $5 and costs, one
$lO and costs, and one dismissed.
One of the Corpa D'Afnqne, 18th
Section, also joined in the general
chorus of $5 and costs ; one struck off
on a $lO stretch, “ all alone, ’’ as John
G. Saxe says, and two others who had
just been “ projickin” with each othen
and one of whom bad a pair of arms
that would have done themselves credit
aaapairof sledge-hammers, paid $2 00
and costs, each. They expressed the
upinion that the fun which they had had
was “ worth it 1"
One 17th Section case was fined $5
and costs.
Ond 2d Section case was dismisssd;
and one 16th and one 18lh Section case
were continued.
and cost*.
Inscltiso.—We rccoi’ed a commu
nication yesterday from an individual
recommending to lh« liberality of the
people, a lady «fe» bad loaf a ten ia the
Confederate army, and who it nowin
destitute circumstances. In* bis com
munication he wes the following lan
guage.
“ She and her family are as worthy
objects of eharity as Jefferson Davit and
family.” »
Tbi* juxtaposition—it ia very evident
—ia intended as an insult to oar peopfe.
If its author wished to | the lady
referred to, any good, it was onlytnedfc
sary to stats th* faei bf her indigence
to the public to secure asaistanen for
her. The people of Augusta ore Open
handed and charitable, And they make
SO distiuctious iu dispensing assistance
to the needy, but they do not ask their
enemies to tell them their'duty, or to
taunt them with wbat they choose
for the family ol their captive fellow-cit
izeu iu Fortress Monroe. If our people
choose to give of thsir own means to
Mr. Davis and family, it ia no business
of this individual, They do not ask
him, and it he will attend to the busn
ness of those who employ him, he will
havo euougti to do, jyi(hoat interfering
with the Charitable movements (ftf the
benevolent people of Augusta. , .
Homicide. —A man named J. W.
Lockwood, residing in Barnwell Dis
trict, was shot in the hpuse of, E. B.
Rose, Solomons, one day last week.
Both were gentlemen of good standing.
Solomons was arrested, and is the jail
at Waterboro’.
As Bad as Andsrsonville.— There
are eighty cases of scurvy in the South
ern Indiana prison, and some Os the
men are so badly affected that their
teeth are falling out. Several men have
died. They were fed on pork damaged
at a fire. Better eat less pork, whether
damaged by fire or not.
Mr. Peabody's Donations.— The
following is a list of the donations re
cently made by Mr. Peabody: To the
poor of London, $2,250,000; Town of
Danvers, $60.0,00;, Grinnell Arctic ex
pedition. $19,000; City of Baltimore
$1,000,000; Phillips’ Academy, $25,
000 ; Massachusetts Historical Society.
$20,001) ; Harvard Chllege, $150,000;
Yale College, $150,000 ; to the South,
$1,500,000. Total, 5,165,000.
The Ctt.tVue of Cotton.— The suc
cess which attended the Culture of cot
ton last year in the vicinity of Peters
burg, as well as in Other parts of lower
Virginia, has so favorably impressed
the agricultural public as to lead to its
probable introduction into districts where
the plant has hitherto been an entire
stranger. It is stated on good authority
that the tobacco planters of the fertile
Danville district—the finest tobacco
producing region in the State—have
made extensive arrangements, by the
purchase of fertilizers, for exchanging
their former favorite crop, iu considera
ble part at least, for that of cotton.
Money Okdkbs.— The postal money
order system is proving a great con
venience, and is increasing in all our
cities where such offices exist. In Sa
vannah, the News says the Post Master
averages twenty orders a day. Orders
are issued in any amount not exceeding
SSO; and not exceeding $l5O can be
issued to the same person on one po3t
office in one day. The fees of money
orders are: 10 cents for an order not
exceeding S2O, and 25 cenls for over
S2O and not exceeding SSO. This s ys
fein of transmitting small sums of mon
ey is rapidly increasing in public favor,
and Postmaster Harris now sells some
20 orders per day.
Alabama Immigration Bill. A
bill has been submitted to the Alabama
Legislature by the Planters Convention
at Selma, propasing that, upon the ap
plication of parties before the Probate
Court of any county lor laborers, accom
panied by a bond to indemnify the
expense incurred, the Judge may pledge
the State to pay the necessary
expenses of the immigrants applied
for. That upon receiving the certificate
of the Judge, the Governor shall issue a
Treasury warrant in favor of the Judge
sending the certificate, and that money
shall be paid over to Commissioners of
Immigration, of whom three shall be
appointed—one to reside at Montgom
ery, another at Mobile, and the third at
such point as may be indicated by the
Governor. Upon these commissioners
will devolve the duty of obtaining and
forwarding to the applicant, the immi
grant laborers he desires.
Singular Case. —The New York
Times publishes a strange story ol a
young lady in Brooklyn, who nearly a
year ago was severely injured by her
'hoop skirt catching as she stepped from
the cars, dragging her some distance.
She suffered intensely from list injuries,
and was thrown into spasms, aud finally
her eye-lids and teeth closed, her limbs
curled up, her right arm resting under
her head. In this way she has lain
about nine months, without taking
nourishment. She appears to be in a
clairvoyant state—reads any hook with
out opening the lids—writes cheerful
letters with her left hand—crotchets
even in colors, holding the material
back of her head, so that she can use
the thumb and forefinger of her right
hand which cannot bo moved. It is
said that instead of becoming emaciated
she is growing more handsome and
healthy. It is stated that she is attend
ed by one of the most eminent physi
cians in Brooklyn, but ns uo names are
given, we are not disposed to believe
the story, which is going the rounds of
the papers to tho extent ot a column,
and we therefore trust our readers will
excuse us for giving them only this
i taste of the marvelous morsel.
T- dny Twna fa doit
The

A Good Naml—Somebody, ini al
luding to tins habit of naming American
localities after living or deed
after cities of the old world, says it
would be better to adopt the nam«|i of
the aborigines. He would call Gotham
by its .Indian aune, Manhattan
of New York, and urges that it would
be most appropriate, too—since the
meaning of Manhattan K “ The place
where we all get drunk t”
T a*ing Brbajd,—The impolitic course
of the Radicals can only be explained
on the old idea that ‘‘whom the gods
destroy they first make mad”—dor
legislation is of such a reckless Char
acter as-cuqnat fall to tiring speedy* ret
ribution, For instance, iu their late
revision of the tariff the New Hjaven
Register refers to the fact that the duty
oh wheat was doubled and'placed at 40
cents per bushel; on jlour, etc., the duty
was raised to 30 per cent, ad valoreifi 5
10 cents per bushel were imposed upon
oats, and upon malt 40 per cent, ad va
lorem.- An equally oppressive tax is to
be imposed on another article of fore
most necessity—that ia, upon salt. The
present tariff is 160 per cent., which ia
much higher than it should be; but the
bill which has just past the Senate,
raises the tax to 200 per cent. A tax
on salt, much less oppressive than this,
brought on the French revolution. But
our people are less mercurial than those
of France, and will wait more patiently
for a Constitutional remedy ol their
evils.
GEORGIA ITEMS.
The Georgia Citizen is to be moved
to Americas.
“Live Oak Clnb” is the name
adopted by a Savannah Club.
The Hernandez Troupe has been per
forming in Dalton.
A correspondent of the Cartersvilfe
Express suggests the name of Lewis
Tutnlin, of Bartow county, for Gov
ernor.
The Federal Union says that a little
bov.employed in driving a cart on the
Milledgeviile and Warrenton Railroad,
near that city, was run over by his cart
and killed, on Friday last.
. The Dalton Georgian notices the
completion of a foundry and maehine
shop, and a grist and saw mill, in that
city. The latter will manufacture fur
niture.
The Macon Telegraph notices the
death of Rev. Milton Tillinghast, a
.Colored preacher, of that city. He was
a man of pure character, of great
personal worth, and considerable talent.
The Savaunah Advertiser says the
British ship Pilgrim, from Liverpool,
bound to this port, got ashore at Iloboy
Inlet on Wednesday last, and now lies
in a very critical condition. She was iu
ballast, and consigned to Mr. E. A.
Soullard.
The same paper states that the ship
Thomns Freeman had gone ashore at
Valentia, on the coast ol Ireland. This
ship was cleared on the sdi of Decem
ber lor Liverpool, by Messrs. Brigham,
Holst & Cos., vith a cargo 0f3,870 bales
of upland Cotton and 19 bales of sea
island.
Alluding to the large amount derived
from the last cotton crop, the Federal-
Union says it is all gone, all passed
away, and gone to enrich other people ;
all gone in the pockets of our oppres
sors. A large portion of it has gone to
buy provisions, which the Southern
Hunter could have made, and saved the
money he got for his cotton.
The Davis “ Tombola” is proving a
great success iu Columbus. A great va
riety of goods have been contributed by
the merchants and citizens—among
which is a bale of cotton. Every ar
ticle contributed is to be labelled as a
prize, and a ticket will lie distributed to
each one who altcndg the concert to be
given on the 2<?th.
Mr. Peabody’s Gift.
The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, “ Leo,” in his let
ter of Feb. oth, says :
The city, and I may say the country,
turns aside from the ordinary routine oi
ideas and occupations, to recognize the
benefaction and benevolence of the
great American Banker and Philanthro
pist, Mr. George Peabody. The dona
tions of Mr. Peabody for charitable and
educational objects in England and
America, have been unprecedently large.
The commercial princes of modern days
far excee'd in wealth and power the
princes of the feudal ages. As we have,
for good or bad rensons, destroyed the
primogeniture love of the ante-revolu
tionary period, no family ill the country
can loug hold its wealth. Mr. Peabody
Was never married. He adopted in his
latter years his country as his child aud
heiress. I saw tbe old gentleman to-day
standing between Governor Aikin, ot
bouth Carolina, and Winthrop, of Mas
sachusetts. A more benign counte
nance or more affable manner than
wbat distinguished the Bourbon prince,
liquid not well be imagined.
On every side the congratulations
were exchanged upon the bappy advent
of an era of better feeling iu the coun
try, aud the early and final restoration
of the Union to its former condition of
peace'and union, with the prospect of
evet advancing power and prosperity.
It is positively asserted here that the
advent of Mr. George Peubody, and the
expression of his good wishes for the
South, as well as nis benefactions, has
softened the feelings of the Radical
extremists, and will lead the way to an
ultimate restoration ot the excluded
States, and the general prosperity of the
whole country. Simultaneously with
the promulgation of the great benefac
tion by Mr. Peabody, was the defeat of'
the extreme Radical pfirtv as led by
Mr. Thad. Steven*ln (be Nbusfe.
Tins too, opens to us anew and pleas
ing piospeet. The rally.
The Radieals divide and disperse. A
few weeks, if the prqgeqt good feeling
prevail? will lead ns intofhepfoper track
to restoration, upon honorable 1 terms. ,/

Mr. Howard aaid there should be no 00m

from extreme aides—one holding that ti)e
States arc now entitled to representation,
the other that ’twas too liberal.
Mr. Hendricks 4idno{:think the President

him.
Mr. Pomeroy repeated Mb belief that it
would not become a law this.session, either
by eenftriaea or«t her wise.
Mr. Lane opposed the Committee. The
difference was elemental, fundamental. He
was unwilling to abandon the Senate’s po
sition. * ** • (% '
Mr. Wade thought tho matter too grave
to entrust to a Committee at this stage of
the session. Ho preferred beginning the
matter again. Alluding to Mr. Fessenden,
Mr. Wado said Mr. Fessenden's course iu
being silent here, then going to tho House
to try to defeat the bill might be honorable,
but Mr. Wade did not like it.
The discussion proceeded at great length,
and w&s mostly of a personal character,
showing an utter want of harmony.
The Senate finally insisted on its amend
ment, and refused a eommittou without a
division.
HOUSE.
The House was full—the galleries crowd
ed. Mr. Banks introduced a resolution
allowing a national vessel to oarry contri
butions of olothing and provisions to the
dejtitute of the South'. Mr. Spalding ob
jected; lest debate should follow.
Mr. Sherman’s bill came up. A motion
to lay the whole matter on the tablo was

Mr. Stokes attempted to read a telegram
he had received from Tennessee, but was
cried down. Taken on motion to coucur

A militia bill, giving a standing army of

Tho Southern Loyalist’s Association, by

The Senate struck out the clauso of the
West Point appropriation, forflidding ap

Democrats and extremists voted against
concurrence. Lovell H. Rosseau voted to
oonenr.
Unless both Houses act before midnight
a pocket veto follows.
Both the New York 7W6«weand Chronicle
favored concurrence, but Stevens was too
strong. No action is now probable
after the Connecticut election, which occurs
March 10th. If that goes Radical, harsh
measures are deemed certain.
Surratt is still on board the Swatara, off

Washington, Feb. 7—P. M.
Surratt has been eonfintd below deck,
