Rivek News. —There were no arrivals
or departures yesterday or the day
before. River about 5 feet.
Recorder's Court.—There were only
one or two cases in this Court yesterday:
nothing of importance.
Not Dead. —The “immortal J. N.,”
whose reported death we recently no
ticed, denies the truth of the statement,
and is still endeavoring to “relieve the
pressure,” and “lift the veil.”
The Cretans. —lt appears that these
heroic Christians have determined to
continue their efforts for independence.
They are removing the women and
children from the island, and preparing
for a vigorous and desperate struggle.
Ladies and Misses will find at E.
F. Blodgett & Co.'s, the best variety of
Shoes in the City. They have every
style, from the most delicate slipper to
the stoutest walking shoe. Their Con
gress Gaitere are really beautiful, f
City Court. —The February Term
of the City Court, Judge Snead presi
ding, will commence on Monday next.
February 25th. Jurors and others
should take notice and govern them
selves accordingly.
Registry List.—The Registry list is
stiil open and Gen. Green is anxious for
“more.voters.” He desires to have it
stated that the Council has repealed the
requirement ol two year's citizenship in
the St3te, and restored it to one year,
so that no one need keep away on that
account.
Charitable Concert. — We learn
that an entertainment is to be given at
Concert Hall, on Monday evening next,
for the benefit of the jtoorof the City.
1 he object is surely one which will
appeal to the charity of our community,
and under the management of the gen
tlemen in charge of it, will prove of
great assistance to those for whose ben
efit it was designed.
Semi Annual Fahadb op the Fire
Department. —The semi-annual parade
of the Fire Department will take place
this afternoon. The several Companies
wid assemble at their respective engine
houses at 1 o’clock P. M., and the
line will form on Greeue street, near
the Bell lower, at 2J o’clock. P. M., for
inspection and review. The display
will, like all our tiremen’s displays, no
doubt he a very fine ono.
A New 1 heatre. —We havp. under
stood that the Southern Express Com
pany, with the commendable spirit of
enterprise which characterizes that
Company, has determined to make a
handsome theatre of the building on
Broad street, formerly known as the
Lagle and Phoenix Hotel, and subse
quently as the City Hotel. With the
necessary alterations, it will be emi
nently adapted to tais purpose ; while
the location is an eligible one; and it is
to be hoped that the work will be done
in t,me for the next amusement season,
lbe building could be enlarged by an
addition in the rear, running to Rey.
nolds street; the f ro „ t and rear base
ments could be used as offices for the
Company, or for stores ; and on the
interior upper floors could be construc
ted a handsome and commodious
theatre with a large saloon for ball room
and meeting purposes.

P)KfW\ learn with
real regret that this gentleman has con
cluded to dose his Dancing Academy
after the present week, for the purpose
of opening for the'Summer in Sparta
awl'perhaps in Watrentdii. Our friends
in those places will find Mr. Strawjn’ski
an accomplished teacherTmth in dancing
and music, and a polite aud worthy gen
tleman. He has the very highest creden
tials from eminent families in South
Carolina, where he taught many years,
and the impression made by him here
has been most favorable. We are
pleased to know that he is likely to
return in the Fall. Prof. S. has received
more than the average share of the fciek*
and cuffs of outrageous fortune, having
fled from tyranny in Poland, to he sub
sequently Shermanized in Columbia.
He clings hopefully to the hopie of bis
choice, and we trust Le may yet realize
in it t*<e land of promise pictured in his
early dreams of life and liberty in
America.
The Poor.—The “old and respectable
journal” across the street, make, a very
strong appeal in behalf of the poor of
Richmond county, of whom large num
bers are in great need, and directs
the attention of those who are daily
wasting trifling sums, to the necessities
of these people. He concludes his
appeal with the question, “Do you love
your neighbor as yourself ?”
If the editor desires to show his faith
by his works, we suggest that he might
present the poor of Richmond county
that SSOO bonus, recently extorted from
us. It would’ not make him the
poorer, and we thiuk it a much more
worthy and pr per direction for our
money to take, than to have it go into
his coffers. We repeat the question :
“Do you love your neighbor as your
self? •
W hat does the old conservative organ
up the street thiuk about it ?
The Haxloxs. Benefit of the
Poor. —From the following correspond
ence, it will be seeu that this popular
Combination, desiring to attest their
appreciation of the liberal patronage
extended them, in this City, have set
apart one halt of the gross-receipts of
to-morrow night’s entertainment, for
the poor, to be placed in the hands of
the Mayor for distribution :
John Foster, Esq., Mayor of Augusta:
Sir: —-The Hanlon Brothers propose,
before leaving this City, to devote a
portion of one night’s receipts in aid of
the destitute families of the South, and
tender you one half of the gross receipts
of the performance On Saturday eveniug
next, Feb. 23d, for the above purpose,
to be applied by you. as in your judg
ment it will be most acceptable. Should
the above meet approbation, I
shall be pleased to hand you the amount
derived from the proceeds of the enter
tainment.
Yours, respectfully,
M. SIMMOXDS,
Manager Hanlon Troupe.
[reply.]
M. Simmonds Esq., Manager Hanlon
Troupe :
Dear Sir : In reply to your favor of
this date, which has just been received,
tendering a portion ot the’procecds of
next Saturday evening’s entertainment
of the Hanlon Brothers, for the benefit
of the Poor of this city, 1 beg leave to
state that I most cheerfully accept your
very generous offer, and will take great
pleasure in distributing to the Poor of
Augusta whatever amount you may
donate for this charitable purpose.
Thanking you in behalf of our Poor for
the friendly interest which you take in
their behalf, and wishing you much suc
cess.
I am. Very Respectfully,
Your Obedient Servant,
John Foster, Mayor C. A.
We have no doubt that the attractive
character of the entertainment, and the
object to which the proceeds are to be
appropriated, will call out a large audi
ence.
Black as Midnight. —The Macon
Telegraph saya that a very distinguished
Georgian, just returned from the Fede
ral Capital, when asked about the polit
ical prospects of the South, replied : “As
dark as midnight.” The President has
ceased to be considered. The moderate
Radicals would be compelled by the law
ot self preservation to fall into any
measure sanctioned by the majority,
and the most violent complained that
the spur of public opinion was pressing
them in the rear. They were behind
the call, and could not go fast and far
enough to satisfy their constituencies.
. —1 ,—.—.—-
“For Rent.” —Our exchanges from
all the principal cities report that these
significant words maj be seen at almost
every turn, and a general decline in
the rates charged during the last two
years is everywhere looked for. The
truth is, the business of the country has
nowhere warranted the rush made af
the close of the war to the towns and
cities ; and large numbers have become
disgusted with the prospect before them,
and are returning to more substantial
and certain pursuits of country life.

States unrepresented in the Hotter
Besides tho ten Southern States exclu

therefore, will for a time claim repre*

thirty-six States.' ,
An Editorial Staff —Some ittya of
the brain work requisite to get up a first
class (daily paper may. be formed from
the following list of the men employed
on the New Orleans Crescent:
Col. J. O. Nixon, editor in chief and
proprietor; .Judge Wm. M. Semple, first
assistant editor and manager; Puuant
DaPonte, principal writing editor:
Uen. S. B. Buckner, D. C. Jenkins,
writing and lilerary editors, especially
of Sunday edition ; E. W. Halsey, wri
ting editor; Dr. James Burns, night
editor; A. J. Wagner, J. T. Haines,
news editors, G. J. Punch, commer
tiaj-editor; Daniel Scully, N. Bartlett,
Geo. Carlin, C. O. reporters ;
V. Deutzel, river reporter ; George Dun
can, marine reporter; J. D. Lewis, fore
man; G. G. Cooper, J. C. Murray, F.
Owens, and R. T. Hall, assistants.
A comparison of this staff, with the
attaches ot the daily papers of our
smaller cities, where two or three meu
play the part of proprietors, managers,
writers, local, and news and commercial
reporters, should make the reader toler
ant of the short-comings of his local
p'ress. One swallow cannot make a
summer; and one* or two minds—
harnessed to the routine of continuous
duty, cannot meet all the requisites of
first class journalism. The truth is,
there are men of the very highest news
paper capacity, on even the obscurest
country weeklies—as ripe thinkers, and
as finished writers, as those who cater
for what are called the leading journals.
The only way to sustain the character
of journalism, is to give such support to
it as will justify an increase in the
editorial force. Editors do not feed ou
air—and proprietors with a few thousand
subscribers cannot afford to pay a large
number of assistants. Therefore if you
think your paper is not as good as it
ought to be, instead of stopping it, try
to get your neighbors to subscribe, and
thus encourage the publisher to improve
it.
Destitution in Richmond County.
—The Justices of the Inferior Court of
this county announce that there are
•150 families registered as entitled to
receive assistance from the county
They state that the limited fund, which
has enabled them to furn sh these peo
ple with meat and meal, is now ex
hausted, and without aid from some
source, the destitution must become
distressing.
The liberal attendence on places of
amusement, which has been observed
here for several weeks, and the lavish
expenditures on matters of taste in
di-ess, equipage, and style of living, do
not indicate that the scarcity of money
is such as to render the supply of food
to the destitute impossible. We do not
mean to condemn amusement, or cen
sure the gratification of all reasonable
and proper tastes for enjoyment, jn dress
or otherwise—for it is by these expendi
tures that money is distributed from the
hands of the fortunate few, and kept in
circulation. But those who have money
to spend so liberally on personal grati
fications, should learn also to derive
pleasure from alleviating the distress of
their fellows. If the giver of a good
dinner to a family In distress could look
in on the happy circle, as they gather
gratefully around the little store, would
not the scene produce more solid enjoy
ment than a like sum could possibly
yield in attendance and re-attendance
upon the varied and vorthy amuse
ments of the season ? We are too apt to
seize upon indulgencies that are selfish
and temporary in their character and
influences, when infinitely more satisfac
tion to ourselves, and happiness to oth
ers, might be attained by cultivating a
timely aud proper regard for their con
dition.
Southern Medical and Surgical
Journal. —This is the well known and
able medical journal published, every
alternate month, in Augusta. Its Janu
ary number is upon our table, and we
are glad to See that the editors and
publishers spare no pains or expense to
make it quite equal-to the best maga
zines of the kind in this country. Its
editors are Drs. L. A. Dugas, W. H.
Doughty and DeSaussure lord. The
number in question has an important
article by each one of these eminent
physicians, all of whom have won dis
tinction, each in his particular depart
ment of scientific labor. And besides
these said articles, the January number
of the Southen Medical and Surgical
Journal contains a large and attractive
variety of eclectic and miscellaneous
matter. It is published by E. H. Pughe,
Esq., the energetic and experienced
proprietor of the Augusta Daily Press.
Terms—Five Dollars per annum in ad
vance. This Journal should he in the
house of every physician.— Edgefield

—An irish ostler was sent to the
stable to bring out a traveller’s horse ;
but not knowing which of the two

brought them to the door. The travel
