customers at the lowest rates.
Arrival of the Mail. A short
time since it was announced that one of
our worthy City Fathers had became
indeed a father. To-day we have 10
record a similar circumstance in the
history of our excellent Post Master,
Foster Blodgett. Esq. He is now what
Artemus Ward, we suppose, would call
a Foster father, and as he is in the pos
tal service, it is right we should an
nounce the new corner as the arrival of
the Male. It is a fine boy, and has our
best wishes.
The Hanlons.— The interest in their
wonderful performances still continues.
Their programmes this week have been
more varied, and, if possible, even more
interesting than those of the past week.
Their gymnastic feats are unequalled,
while the Pantoinine ate capitally per
form ed, and the dogs and monkeys con
tinue to amuse everybody who sees
them.
This evening, anew gymnastic feat,
called "Zampiilaerostation,” (whew!
what a long name!) will be introduced,
iu which Mr. Wm. Hanlon will appear.
It is said to be one ot his most daring
feats.
Seats can be secured at Sehriner’s
Mu ie Store today ; and all who desire
to see tree Hanlons should go early and
get good seats.

Mr. Hynn left similar evidence of a

Funny Items.— We have some
funny fellows in our City, who have a
very keen appreciation of the humorous
and ludicrous, as witness the follow
ing :
In the upper portion of‘the City is a
small pond of stagnant water, which
has, somehow or other, been overlooked
in the general overhauling a „a repair
ing of the streets aud drains. A day or
two ago, some wag stuck up a piece of
board in the pond referred to, with the
following intcription, in charcoal let
ters, upon it: A list pointing to the
water, and the words, “Cholera Creek,
six feet deep, and rising J”
In the lower part of the City, in front
of a store, another wag, having no fear
of Radicalism before bis eyes, has
placed a bust ot Thad Stevens. It.
consists of a coeoanut shell, painted
black, with red mouth and eyes, moss
for hair, and a paper hat, on it, with
the inscription, “Thad Steven*." It i B
a funny looking thing, and would make
old Thad himself laugh if he was to see
it;
Fourth Stock Sal*. —Mr~T>*honey

Fianttv’a Parade.—The different
Fire Companies were baey last night
testing their machines, and putting
them ia order lor the Semi-Annual
Parade on Friday, ?ld.
We learn that the Companies will
form at the Bell Tower, at halt part
two o’clock P. M., and, we presumat
will march through the principal street#.
There will be no contest for prises,
and the festivities of the day will con
elude with a ball, under the manage

A Memorial Concert. —lt has been
suggested that a Memorial Concert or
Entertainment be given in this Oily at
as early a date as possible for the ben
efit of Mr. Davis and lainily. I>r. Cou
turier ha* kindly proffered his
services, and the ladies will not reftise
theirs iu assisting personally or securing
musical talent fbdjhe occasion. The
idea is, we think, a very good one, and
we cheerfully place it before opr read
ers, anil particularly tbs Indies who

A Memorial Concert for this object
was recently given in Wilmington, N.
C., at which some SBOO 0r41,Q00 were
realized. Why cannot as muck bo-done
in Augusta? It only needs the proper
efforts to secure success ; and these the
ladies can best give.
At the Wilmington Concert, an inter*
esting feature of the programme Was
the following song, written by Walter
It. Langdon, Esq. The sOBg is a very
pretty one, and if the proposed Concert
is given here, we venture to suggest
that it form a part, of the programme.
I is as follows :
MEMORIAL CHANT.
WORDS BY WALTER R. LANGUOR.
Music arranged fium 11 Trovatore.
Ilow shall we deck the soldier's grave?
With woman's tear*!
How shall we crown the fallen brave ?
With votive years
Os fervid prayers ?
How shall our lives their spirit save ?
By Manhood, Lore and Truth !
How shall we rear their lasting fame ?
- By Love alone!
How shall wo speak the Martyr’s name?
In fondest olio
From Honor's throne!
What shrine should deeds of heroes claim ?
A woman’s vestal heart f
With prayers, and woman’s tears, each grave
We ll deck and crown ;
Let love’s perpetual vigil save
The hallowed ground
From other sound
Than sorrow’s low, celestial stave
Sung by the Southern Heart!
Sfottsyj.vaxia Memorial Associa
tion.—The ladies of Spottsylvaniu Coun
ty, Ta, and vicinity have organized a
Memorial Association for the purpose
of rescuing from oblivion and desecra
tion the Confederate dead, and of paying
to their memory that respect and honor
which they have so justly deserved.
That this objet will commend itself to
the sympathies and co operation of the
Southern people we feel assured. The
ladies say in their circular, ‘‘For those
scattered ashes were once your own
flesh and blood—are the remains of
your own dead —the relics of Father,
Husband, and Sou. They have more
over perished in behalf ot a cause once
inwrought with every fibre and sympa
thy of onr souls ; and to which they aud
we sacrificed, ineonseious rectitude, every
interest, and they eyen life. To leave
them unhonored and uncared for would
be to stultify every conviction of our
conscience, and trample upon the most
righteous and ; sacred emotions of our
humauity. The perview of our Associ
ation is National. It covers the great
batdefield of Chancellorsville, the Wil
derness andSpottsylvaniaC. H., together
with the scattered and solitary dead of
the vicinity, and this is seen to include
this entire region, with the exception of
Fredericksburg, Among the dead
braves of the Army of Northern Vir
ginia are representatives of every
Southern State.”
These good ladies have already done
much to further the object of their Asso
ciation, and with the exception of S3OO
which they received from other places,
altogether at their own expense. Shall
their appeal be unheeded? We believe
not. The people of Augusta, of Geor
gia, of the South, must do their share of
the noble work—they must contribute
to the funds of the Association, and so
assist and cheer them on in their self
imposed labor ot love.
Messrs. V. Richards & Bro. have been
appointed agents for tbe Association in
this City and vie nity, and will be pleas
ed to receive contributions in its behalf.
They should be enabled to return a
handsome sum.
What Stevens Wants. —“ Leo,” the
Washington correspondent of the Cou
rier, says that Mr. Stevens has not relin
quished his policy, which he avowed
two years ago, and has repeatedly urged
since, of confiscating all the lands of the
people of the late Confederate States,
for the benefit of the negroes and the
Federal Treasury. He and Boutwell,
and other leaders, still intend that the
“organizers of the rebellion” shall be
brought to execution as traitors. These
are the terms of adjustment which the
Military Bill and its authors look to
ward.
The freight business alone on the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, for the

A Test.—The Herald of the 18th,
when the Sherman bill was pending in
the House, said that if tho President
should dare to veto h.’his impeachment
1 wa» certain.

on the ather page the following, which
is, of itself, auch a capital hit, that we
give it as we find it:

The Bankrupt Bill.— The bankrupt
bill, as it passed the United States Sen
ate, has sundry amendments, which
required its return to the House of
Representatives for the concurrence of
that body. It is believed the House
will adopt the amendments.
State University, The Athens
Watehman says the University of Geor
gia opened on Friday, the 15th, with
one hundred and fifty students. Seventy
new students were examined and admit
ted. There are also thirty maimed
Confederate soldiers, who will be
eutered at the University High School,
and taught by members of the Faculty-
Those Rumors. —The Washington
correspondent of yesterday’s Mercury,
thinks the proposed compromise be
tween the Radicals and the President
isn’t worth a copper. He says the Pres
ident can’t afford to compromise. He
is believed to have the support of Grant,
aud if he stands linn, is master of the
situation—if he falters he is goue.
Another Plan. —John Minor Botts
has prepared a "plan” for reconstruction,
which contemplates a restoration of
martial law, aud which it is said, is to
be presented to Congress. The New
York Herald of the 18th says there is
nothing new in it except its extensive
length, which is not embraced iu the
other bills before Congress.
Swinish. —The Cincinnati Price Cur
rent estimates that over 700,000 more
hogs havo been and will be packed in
Cincinnati,- Chicago, and Indianopolis
this season than the last one. That is
good news to planters who will not raise
their own meat, and it ought to justify
a decline in pork aud bacon.
Eclipses this Year. —There will be
four eclipses during 1867—two of the
sun and two of the moon. The first
eclipse of the sun will occur March 6th,
and will be visible in America; the
other, August 26th, will not be visible
on this continent. A partial eclipse of
the moon may be witnessed from all
parts of the United States, March 20th.
Its time of beginning will be about
2:20 in the morning, aud ending at
5:30. The second eclipse of the moon
will be on Friday evening, September
13th, visible iu all parts of the United
States.
What Does it Mean. —The Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore
Gazette says that an official notice has
been issued fiom the Treasury Depart
ment, announcing its requirement of the
test oath as a preliminary qualification
for employees, thus repudiating the gist
of the decision of the Supreme Court.
It is known that the Secretary of the
Treasury has recently appointed a negro
to a clerkship and assigned him a desk
among the other clerks. It is stated
that in the appointments of the inferior
postmasters the recommendation of tho
member of Congress in whose district
tbe vacancy occurs is held to be conclu :
give by the Department, and that in the
departments generally the voice of the
Radicals is potential. It is also known
that several Senators of the most rabid
stamp have, within the past day or two,
discountenanced any further proceed
ings in the great impeachment; and
lastly, Forney’s Chronicle make* the
following announcement:
“ There was a well-authenticated ru
mor last night that the President had
finally resolved to abandon his costly
Copperhead allies by proposing impar
tial suffrage and the ratification of the,
constitutional amendment.
On the other hand, a Washington
tetter in the same paper, says that the
President is yet cheerful and hopeful of
ultimate triumph, and so far trom evin
cing a disposition of acquiescing in
the insane legislation of Congress, is
more determined than evcr> since their
attrocious designs hare become devel
oped, of firmly adhearing to his consti
tutional position.
—A beggar woman died recently in
Paris, and SB,OOO were fouud under
her hearth.
A CoifPHoMTSR.—The Waehlngtou
correspondent df the Richmond Dis
patch, writing ou the 16th, says:
Therq *m variottk reports and specula
tions in progress concerning the proba
bilities of a compromise between the
President and Congress, and it is known
that the Republican members have been
represented in several informal caucuses
of late, the object of which has been to
mteH np-e .truee aud establish, some
thingakiulo harmony between the ex
ecutive and legislative branches of the
Government. Various propositions have
been submitted iu these caucuses, but I
have been opnbie to learn that any
agreement' has been entered upon.
Banks and Bingham were both in attend
ance; but it really seems that both of
these representatives have a wholesome
dread of Ihe ire of $ towns and other*,
and do not care to make any -overtures
towards conciliation. It is proclaimed
to-day that the President will yield bis
views to the exteut of appointing anew
Cabinet, to be oomposed of such men
a* Horace Greeley and other Republi-
but what difference there is be
tween Greeley and the most radical
members of Congress (unless it is on
the theory of universal amnesty and im
partial suffrage) remains to be seen. I
think there will be other developments
next week. Not a single word can be
obtained at the White House of the dis
position of affairs.
Ax Englishman Amq*q the Mormons.
—Mr. Hepworth Dixon, the editor of the
London Atheneum, has iu course of
publication in London an account of his
trip to Salt Lake last summer, and of
bis observations in A.merica in general.
The following is & passage touching
Mormonisin :
hor a man to have twenty boys and
girls in his house is a common fact. A
merchant with whom we were dining
yesterday could not tell ns the number
of his children until he had consulted a
book then lying on his desk. One of
his wives, a nice English lady, with the
usual baby at her breast, smiled sweet
reproof on his ignorance, but the fact
was so. and it was only after counting
and consulting that he could trive us the
exact return of his desceudents. This
patriarch is 33 years old.
Women, he reports, become drudges ;
they are transferred to the kitchen.
They wear an unnatural calm. "They
never smile except with a wan and wea
ried look, and, though they are all of the
English race, we have never heard
them laugh with the bright merriment
of English girls.” And the practice of
marrying a plurality of wives is not pop
ular with the female saiuts. Mr. Dixon
is emphatic on this point, and quotes
from conversations which he had with
the women in corroboration.
The Death of Gerard, the Lion-
Killer. —About two years ago the
newspapers announced the death of
Jules Gerard, the famous lion killer,
during an exploring visit in Central
Africa, but gave no accounts of how it
occurred. According to information
given by M. Hucliard, a French mer
chant established in the Shuboro, and
by Ali-ben Mahomed, Gerard’s inter
preter, the explorer fell a victim to the
-cupidity and ferocity of the negroes
whom ha had engaged as his guides and
protectors. His baggage aud provisions
were at first pillaged repeatedly during
his journey from Seraboo to Mama by
the cfcief of the lormer village. Being
thus deprived of what was necessary for
him to continue, Gerard sent back his
interpreter for a fresh supply. On his
way hack to rejoin his master he learnt
at the village of Nio Japan that lie had
been drowned by the Kosos, who had
Conducted him from W.oola to Maknlav,
anti that Ins body was found in the
river Jong, which flows on the territory
of Shuboro. According to Ali’s account,
the body, when found, was quite naked,
the arms tied behind the back, and a
piece of wood, with a large stone attach
ed, was fasteded to his waist. Ali tried
to recover his instruments, but could not
do so. The provisions ho had were
taken front him by the negroes, aud lie
himself beaten, bound, and kept as a
slave.
Daily Press, Augusta.—We arc
pleased to receive this live and interest
ing journal. Notwithstanding the ef
forts to crush it out by its cotem oor u-ies,
it is still able to furnish a much superior
paper at $5 per annum. It claims the
largest circulation, pays the government
tax, and is the official journal of the
city. But a little ove r a year old, it has
overcome all obstacles, and now ranks
among the first dailies of Georgi i.
Success to the Press and its enterpris
ing proprietor. But don’t forget to
mail it to hs again brother Pughe, (we
failed to receive it fur a week) as we can
not get along without it. —Atlanta
/Southern Advertiser,Feb. 15.
Quatity of Eggs.—Few people ever
think there is any difference in the qual
ity of eggs they eat. Yet there is quite
as marked a difference as there is in the
flesh of fowls. Fowls that are fed on
the finer kinds of cereal grain furnish
much better eggs than those that subsist
on grass and oats and buckwheat.
Wheat, or wheaten dough or bread al
ways makes tbe richest eggs. C. N.
Bement writes on this subject: "Though
most farmers keep fowls and raise their
own eggs, there are many who have not
learned the difference there is in the
richness and flavor of eggs produced by
well fed hens and those birds that, have
been half starved through our winters.
There will be some difference in the
size, but far more in the quality. The
yolk, of one would be large, fine color,
anil of good consistence, and the albu
men or white, clear and pure, while the
contents of the other will be watery and
meagre, as though there was not vitality
or substance enough in the parent low!
to properly carry out and complete ihe
work nature has sketched. In order,
therefore, to have good eggs, the fowls
should be well fed and provided w th an
almndance of fine gravel, that they may
be able to grind and prepare their food
for digestion.
In regard to raising chickens, Mr.
Bement says : “It is a fact that most
old women who live in cottages, know
better bow to rear chickens than any
other persons ; they are more success
ful, and this may be traced to the fact
that they keep but few fowls, and these
fowls are allqwed to run freely in the
house, to roll freely in the ashes, to
approach the fire, and to pick up any
crumbs or enable morsels they may find
on the grouud, and are nursed with the
greatest care and indulgence. By
warmth and judicious feeding, a heu
may be made to lay as many eggs in
two years as she would under ordinary
circumstances in three ; and every one
knows, or ought to know, that a fowl
fatted at two years old, is much more
tender and palatable, tliau one that is
older." — N. Y. Observer.
—lt has been wittily said of Nash
ville that a perfect stranger would know
he had arrived at the city, the momeut

Sherman’s bill came up, and Wilson’s
amendment was adopted—B9 to 60. It
provides tha*. persons exoludod from office
by the proposed Constitutional amendment,

State Constitutions.
Shellaberger offered an amendraont de
claring that until the rebellious States are

Washington, Feb. 20.
The President’s answer to Senatorial
questions, regarding the violation of the
Civil Rights Bill is, that the Secretary of
the Navy is aware of none ; the Secretary
of the Interior has received no information
of any ; the Secretary of State has none ;
the Post Master General has none, and the
Attorney General has reported none to the
President. Has the case of William Fisher,
of Georgia, under consideration, which was*
referred to tho Attorney General’s office by
the Secretary of War. The Secretary of
War 6ays the necessary military orders
were issued, and no neglect or refusal has
boon reported to the President, and only
three have occurred, that of Dr. Watson,
of Virginia, William Finsber, of Georgia
and Perkins, of Texas.
In response to tbe Senate enquiry, Stan
ton reports three cases involving latno exe
cution of tho Civil Rights Bill, including
Dr. Watson’s, for killing a negro. None
others came to the knowledge of the War

Mr. Cowan made a defence of the Presi
dent and of tho South, bused on Stanton’s
report, asking why Senators did not go to
Secretary Stun ton for redress for alleged
outrages, instead of pouring them into tho
public ear. Pvespoct for the country’s fair
fume should induce them to seel: redross
through Stanton before proclaiming them
as u means of maligning the President.
Mr. Sherman, in urging h»6 bill, said
we give the negro the ballot, schools, pro
tection, and law, luit the nation never will
consent to put white men under his domi
nation. Ho designated Stevens’ and
Elliott's plans os horribly defective.
On the landing of Surratt, the Marshal
said to him, “Is your name John 11. Sur
ratt ?” He replied, “It is, sir.” The
Marshal then served a warrant, and took
possesion of the prisoner. He bore his
head elect, and maintained a fearless air.
He was handsomely dressed iu a grey zouave
suit, with white loggins, fur lap. He has
a light moustache and a long goatee, lie
was handcuffed. His case aud custody are
entirely under the civil authorities. Kx-
Governor Thomas II- Ford, of Ohio, and
Colonel Sol. Ilinckle will defend Surratt.
The tenuro of ofFce bill was hurried to the

tYASiHNorox, Feb. 20 —P. M.
A delegation from the Boston Board of
Trade had an interview with McCulloch
to day, relative to depression in cunraeree,
trade, and shipbuilding.
It appears from a communication of tho
President to the Senate, that tho gross pro
ceeds of seized Cotton is twenty five and a
half millions dollars. Sales of miscellane
ous property, ono million, oight hundred
thousand dollars. Kents and abandoned
property nearly half a million dollars. Oth

thirty five million dollars.
It is concluded that the Senate will pass
Shermaa’s bill with the House amendments.
Tho increased stringency developed by Wil

generally concluded that the President will
