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 He desires to have it stated that the Council has repealed the requirement ol two year's citizenship in the St3te, and restored it to one year, so that no one need keep away on that account.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. Xu a Tear, Fiklo, ami Fa«m. —We qtet <u> ywHamUj, Mr. R. F. McGregor, |*i, who is o*-a eantetsskiftour through the West and South, in behalf of this journal. The JV/, Field, and Farm ia a paper of elevhted tone, free from low detaile of the prise ring, mud is in Vh# iMOysfnaa tkc Amer ♦ nHf roan's Jiaper, It ie published M ‘s. D. llruce atid Hr HitThnl, 87. Park Row, New York, at $5 a year. Mr. Bruce, is, we learn, a Kentuckian, and the toap of the paper as liberal qpd fraternal toward the South. We left Bo reason -why it should not bo liberally patronised by our people. % 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. Immigratiox. General John A. Wagner, of Charleston, has been ap pointed Commissioner of Immigration, pursuant to the Act of the last Legisla ture, and will enter upon the duties of his Bureau at once. Two foreign Agents will also be selected to take charge of the interests of the State, which concern [ immigrants lrom Ireland and Germany, • gives an aeeowat •f tha killing ft * man named Detroit Welch, by a policeman. Weleh was beating a man named Freely, when Policeman Bradley Mm. Welch resisted, and after awhile Bradley shot him in self defence. The Next Congress. —This body wiil meet with seventeen of the thirty-six States unrepresented in the Hotter Besides tho ten Southern States exclu ded, seven others have not elected. rep resentatives for the fortieth tioagress, wrd Will not elect them in mosif cases, before next Fall. The new Congress, therefore, will for a time claim repre* sentatives from but nineteen of the 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 (S. C.) Advertiser, Feb. 20th. —An irish ostler was sent to the stable to bring out a traveller’s horse ; but not knowing which of the two strange horses in the stalls belonged to the traveller, and wishing to avoid the appearance of ignorance in bis busi ness, he saddled both animals, and brought them to the door. The travel ler pointed out his own horse, saying, that’s my nag-” “ Certainly, yer honor, I know that very well,* said Pat; “ but I didn't know which was the other gen tleman’s.” —lrish criminal statistics indicate a better moral condition. The year 1865 presented a smaller number of persons for trial than any year during the past ten, being a reduction of 34 per cent, on those Os 1856, or 22 per cent, allow ing 1? pgr cent, for the reduction of the population.
