that onr City Fathers have been filling
many vacant places in the fine rows of
shade trees that adorn our principal

matter will soon add greatly to the
beauty and comfort of the City.
Concert Hall. —The pupils of Mad
ame Ballot will give an entertainment
at Concert Ilali, this evening, for her
benefit. It will consist of piano music,
duetts, etc., by children ranging from
five to twelve years of age and will no
doubt be very interesting. We bespeak

English's Patent Tweezer. —We
have been presented by the manufac
turer’s agent, Mr. H. L. Backus, with
a uuique little article, known as ‘‘Eng
lish’s combined knife, tweezer, and ear
spoon." It combines all these articles
in oue, and is also very useful tor ladies
iu drawing through the thread on a
sewing machine. It is the neatest
Yankee notion we have seen, and is
bound to come into general use. Whole
sale depot at 15 Mclntosh street.
Entertainment of the Augusta
Benevolent Society. —The dramatic
entertainment at Clara's Hull last night
for the benefit of the poor of Richmond
county, was a brilliant Buccess. The
bill presented was Taylor’s Comedy of
“Still Water Runs Deep,” and Morton’s
capital Farce of “Poor Pillicoddy.” The
dramatis persons consisted of ladies
and geutlemen of this City; and while,
we do not feel authorized to indulge in
a critical review of the performance, it
is but just to say that all the principal
characters were sustained with admira
ble tnsto and spirit, and some of the
delineations were highly artistic. The
audience, which was large and select,
evinced their appreciation by hearty
and frequent applause.
Shooting a Policeman. —About half
past seven o’clock last night, Mr. Jones,
Proprietor of the Augusta Hotel, called
ou Policeman Dewaii to arrest and take
off his son, John Jones, who was be
having in a most disorderly manner in
the Hotel. At the suggestion of Mr.
Jones. Mr. Dcwao called another Po
liceman, Mr. T. Callahan, to his aid,
and they entered the Hotel together.
As they approached young Jones he
told them to stand back, and com
menced shooting a self-cocking re
volver, first at one, then the other. The
first shot struck Mr. Callahan in the
breast, near the region of the heart,
and, as was afterwards learned, glanced
around unde* the arm. One of the
other shots passed between the arm of
Dewan and his body. By the time the
fourth shot was fired, Mr. Dewan had
succeeded in knocking him down and
disarming him, when he was taken to
the Guard House, where he will be
held tor examination.
The coolness of these officers under
the exciting circumstances of the arrest,
elicited the admiration of all who were
present.
Emigration to Venezuela.—Atten
tion is directed to the special notice of
Col. A. T. Kudler, who has been ap
pointed Agent for the Venezuela Com
pany. From the evidence he has sub
m.tted to ns, it appears to present a
very desirable field for those who have
determined to leave our torn and strick
en section. Upon the payment of S6B
in gold, poor ex-Confederates can secure
passage to Venezuela, and a grant to
1.280 acres of land. Shares of stock in
the Company will he sold for SIOO, with
a land coupon attached, entitling the
holder to 160 acres ot land. The sec'
lion of country granted to the company
is very large—two or three times as
large as the State ot Georgia—hence
these liberal terms are held out as in
ducements. Col. Rudler, who is famil
iar with Central America, informs us
that the climate of Venezuela is delight
ful, and the soil most productive. When
companies of 50, 100 or more are made
up, vessels will be sent to any port for
them. Any other information desired
may be obtained of Col. Rudler. '
California Floor. —Last Saturday
a firm in Portland, Me., received a lot
of California flour, forty days from San
Francisco. It came in sacks of fifty
and one hundred pounds each, in capi
tal order, the flour being put first into
cotton sacks, and then these sacks being
placed in gunny bags. Portland papers
state that flour can be obtained quicker
from San Francisco than it can be from
Chicago, railroad facilities from the
West being so very poor.
Steamboat Explosion. —The Mem
phis Avalanche, of the 20th, says that
the steamboat David White, which lelt
New Orleans on Thursday night for
Louisville, with 300 passengers and 500
tons ol freight for Nashville and Louis
ville, exploded her port boiler on Sun
day noon, near Columbia, 225 miles
North of that city.
The forward part of the boat was
literally torn to atdms, and many of the
passengers and crew were blown one
hundred feet in the air, together with
fragments of the boat.
The scene is described as heart-rend
ing ; the clothes were blown off of some
of the officers.
Capt. Kinney was hurled one Hun
dred feet in the air, and lauded in the
river much bruised and scalded.
The clerk of the boat reported a loss
of sixty-five passengers, many of whose
names are unknown, as the books are
lost.
John Plaster, who was assaulted by
some parly or parties unknown, near At
lanta, ou Friday, has died of his wounds.

The Open Polsr Son; A Karrative of a Vay
»*« of Dweovafjr, tuiraiils the North Pole,
in She UehaoMr I’nited Bute./' by Dr.
J. J. Have., New York. Pnbli.hetl by
Hurd A Houghton, 401 Broadway. 18*7.
We have received from the publishers
a copy of thia interesting work. It is a
detail of adventures in a region of the
globe so little known, that it possesses
a novelty as troll as a general interest
on account of style. Dr. Hayes is a
pleasing writer, and has woven a web
of narrative that cannot fail to gratify
all who read it. The work itself is got
ten up in a style at once handsome and
substantial—a style which characterizes
all the publications of Messrs. Hurd A
Houghton. We advise all who are seek
ing for something new, instructive, and
interesting In literature, to purchase a
copy of "The Open Polar Sea." It is
for sale at George A. 0 ites’ Book and
Music Store in this City.
Hymns in Prose for Children. By Mrs. Bnr
bnuld, author of “Lessons for Children,"
Illustrated. New York : Hurd A Hough
ton, 401 Broadway. London : John Mur
ray. 1857.
This is a handsomely printed, hand
somely illustrated, and handsomely
bound volume, designed for the instruc
tion of children. The authoress takes
the position that ‘‘children should be
kept from reading verse ’till they are
able to relish good verse.” and hence
she has arranged the hymns in an easy
and rythmical and pleasing style of
prose, which cannot fail to please the
youthful mind, while the engravings are
profuse and attractive.
Tho Thirty-third Psalm. Hurd A Hnngh
ton Publishers, 401 Broadway, New York,
1866.
In this publication we have a very
attractive specimen of the Lithographic
Art. On each page is one verse of the
thirty third Psalm, in a colored orna
mental border, constituting altogether a
volume suitable for a present, or for a
parlor ornament,
Mr. Oates has these publications for
sale.

A CARD.
Mayor's Oefice, 1
Augusta, Ga., Feb. 25, 1861. j
The undersigned acknowledges the
receipt of Thirty Two Dollars, ftom the
Messrs. Hanlon, being one half the
gross receipts of the entertainment
given by these gentlemen at Concert
Hall, ou Saturday evening last, for the
benefit of the poor of this City.

A Field for Bachelors.—The follow
ing circular has been issued by com
mand of Gen. Grant:
“Hereafter none but unmarried men,
who arc not less than five feet five
inches in height, will be enlisted into
tho Army of the United States for any
arm o! the service.”
It would seem by this that an abun
dance of men are offering themselves
for the regular army; and that the mil
itary authorities are able to discriminate
in a manner impossible to any other
country of the world.
The "Di.d New York
Times says that advices from Rio Jan
eiro state that a disturbance had occur
red between the emigrants in Brazil
from the United States. A party of
Northerners attacked and attempted to
burn a saw mill belonging to the South
erners.
To Maimed Soi.niEits —B. A. Thorn
ton, Esq., of Columbus, announces in
the Suit of that city, that he will give
the necessary information and aid to any
maimed soldier who may desire to enter
either of the Colleges at Athens, Ox
ford, Mercer, Oglethrope, or Bowden,
under a recent act of the Legislature
to educate free of charge this patriotic
and unfortunate class.
A Freight Gorge. —At last aceonnts,
The Virginia and Tennessee Railroad
was unable to remove the freight that
had accumulated at Bristol, and the
President of the East Tennessee and
Virginia Road had notified Western
shippers that he would receive no more
freight for the present. Merchants in
upper Georgia and Alabama, are inter
ested in this notice,
GEORGIA ITEMS.
The Greensboro Herald alludes to
the .great mortality among the freedmen
in that vicinity—especially among chil
dren.
The young men from Rome, recently
imprisoned in Atlanta, received quite
an ovatiou from their friends on their
release.
The number of ears which arrived in
Atlanta over the State road last week
was 950, with 7,600 tons of freight—
the largest business ever done, save
perhaps while it was used as a military
road by the United States.
A gentleman in Hawkinsville, Ga.,
has just bartered two bushels of peas for
a dog. It is not mentioned that he has
any peace.
The Brunswick Courier says, having
still no mails, it goes to press without
news —never expects any—don’t want
any: The country, the editor says, has
gone to the Devil anyhow, and the less
our people hear of the transactions ol
that mongrel set, yclept Congress, the
less they will have to deprecate.
Richard Pounds, freedman was killed
by another Freedman named Johnson, in
Macon, on Friday. They fell into a
dispute over a small bill, ist which
Pounds attacked Johnson, when the
latter shot him.

Cooper’s Minority Carolina Murder lie
por says it is true that Gens. Thomas
Sickles, Wood, and Baird, in their testi
mony state that Courts do not administer
full and impartial justice where Union men,
soldiers, or freedmen, are litigants, and that
these are not safe. But they, in answer to
direct questions, furnish but one case in
Tennessee, one in Mississippi, at Grenada,
one in Louisiana, nono in Virginia, except
Watson’s case, or North Carolina, Florida,
Georgia, or Alabama. All testify explicitly
that there is no fault to find with the Gov
ernors of the respective States, or high offi
cials, or Judges of the Supreme Courts, or
intelligent well informed citizens. Geueral
Schofield testifies that negroes are arraigned
for crimes aud dealt with loniently, rather
than harshly. The general feeling of the
respectable people of Virginia is pity for
the freedmen. The report takes strong
ground against the policy and constitution
ality of the proposed military governments.
Hale, Stanford, Murphy, and Morris,
Ministers abroad, and Consols McMath and
Perry, iudignantly deny the truth of Mc-
Cracken's charge, that they never permit

Johnson and Members of his Cabinet.
Washington, Feb. 24.
The President is urged with warnings by
