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. fn K a Talc a L. — An exchange says that Manager Flynn is dramatizing “St. Elmo” for bis Mtcon Company. To this the Savannah Advertiser says : Guess not. The last we heard of him. be had adsqi a elated from there, swin” dung a numie- of his actors ontol thei r pay. He also forgot, when he left here, to settle his printing and other bills. Mr. Hynn left similar evidence of a short memory in this City. Messrs. Raymond k Hamilton, who made a dramatic tour through this State ahoutayear ago, also left here in arrears to us for a large amount, which Mr. Raymond pledged his honor as a gen tleman should be paid before he left Savannah where he subsequently performed. Wonder if he is in Savan uah jet l 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 will have his fourth auction sale of Hone* bad Mole* at the Palace Stables unlay. Persona iu want of stock of any kiud, should be oa hand. 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 ment of Washington No. 1, 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 hare charge of tho Dwvdi 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 first two week* in thia month was s6l,ooo—the largest ever known —874 cars reached Atlanta over the Road last weok. 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. LA*r.r_We noticed a few daya since, this admirebft travestie on "Griffith Gaunt." Accompanying the book ji a am%ll sheet, containing, on on* tl6'“opiaioM oT the Press," and on the ather page the following, which is, of itself, auch a capital hit, that we give it as we find it: OPlNloifOor THE PRESS. “Liffith Lank" is Written by C. H. WEBB, Illustrated by Ettinoi.k, gn yraped by Davis A Spbeb, Printed by .John A* Gray 4 Green, and Piibtishdi by Carletom. ...A. •Tlie author takes pleasure in spread ing before the world the opinions of various persons, peculiarly well qualified for the utterance of unbiassed judg ment in regard to the menu ofthia little book. - “ Perhaps the best thing of the kind ever written.**—C. H. Webb. “ The illustration cannot fail to attract attention. The artist has indeed made bis mark.”—Hot. Eytingle, Jr. “The letter press does not strike us forci bly, nor does the drawing of the designs impress us very favorably, but about the engraving of tha latter there can be no question.’’—J. 1* Davis * Speer.

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 he struck the corporation line, by the danger of breaking his neck every twen ty steps. Sfl gtclcgtaplf. TO THE ABBOCIAT£DI>BBSiS. FROM WASHINGTON. t- - - - Congressional. J. SENATE. id Feb. 25. The Senate wss engaged on district bills sstil a massage from tbs House announced the passage or Bherman’s bill with amend ments. Williams moved that the Senate concur. Several Senator’s regretted the disfranchising olanse inserted by the House, but would vote to concur* notwithstanding. Johnson said if bo had his wish, ho would immediately reeeire Southern Representa tives but would yield to Ihe He would vote for the bill because be saw in it a mode of rescuing the o. mu try from the P»»'U* which now threaten it. Tae Senate then took a recess. HOUSE. 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, be excluded from voting for members or being member of the Convention to form State Constitutions. Shellaberger offered an amendraont de claring that until the rebellious States are admitted to representation, any civil gov ernment shall be deemed provisional and •nhject to the authority of the United States, to be abolished, modified or super ceded at any time; and all eleotions under civil government are to be conducted by parsons delignnted ia the sth section, and no person shall be qualified to hold office under the provisional government, who was ineligible under the provisions of the 3d section of the Constitutional amendment of last session. Adopted, yeas 93, nays 70. k A resolution to concur with the amend ment then passed, 125 to 46. Hawkins of Tonn., and Hubbell of Ohio, being the only Republicans voting nay. The militia bill was recommitted. The army appropriation bill was taken np and adopted, ineluding a section in re lation to General of tbe army, which con tains in addition to points telegraphed last night, that orders and instructions relating to military operations, issued by the Pres ident or Secretary of War, shall bo issued through the General of the army. Tbe House went into Committeo on the internal Revenue and then took a reeess. Miscellaneous. 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 D l pan till BU tor Drt cWontj within Otan* ton’s kuowledgo. 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 President last night to prevent a pocket veto. 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 er receipts, two million three hundred thousand dollars. Total, thirty five mil lion dollars. Not profit to tho United States, 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 son and Shollabarger’s amendments aro attributed to Steven's strategy. It is generally concluded that the President will waive the advaotages of time aud voto the bill in time for Congress to act. FROM NEW YORK. New Youk, Feb. 20.
