Boots and Shoes.—There is no thing like dry feet for preserving the health in this wet weather. To have dry feet, buy your shoes at Blodgett & Ci.’s. Personal. —His Excellency, Charles J. Jenkins, was in the City on yesterday, on his way to Washington, for the pur pose, we presume, of consulting with the authorities there in reference to political affairs. Jvdge Lochkane —This gentleman was in our City on yesterday. We learn from those who conferred with him, that he favors the line of policy indicated in the meetings recently- held at Atlanta and Tbomasville. Ladies Attention. —D. R. Williams A Cos., invite especial attention of the ladies to their spring styles of bonnets, and misses’ and children’s hats, at their Hat and Millinery Store opposite Ma sonic Hall. Recorder’s Court. —Four cases for violatiou'of the 18tb section were tried yesterday, and fined §7.50, §4.00, §3.00, and §2.50. Two cases for violation of the 18th section—hitching horses to the market railing—were required to contribute $1 each to the contingent fund, and sent on their way. Valuable Table. —We publish in another place, a table, showiug the value, per bushel, of different grains, under the new cental system, recently adopted in the Western markets. It will be valuable to all who are interested *u any of the markets where the new system prevails, and should be preserved. Copies on card board may be had at our counting room. Arrested. —A freedman, named Dave Johnson, implicated in the rob bery of the store of J. & T. A. Bones, a lew nights ago, was arrested, and a portion ot the stolen goods recovered. ibe “taking ways” of our police force are becoming proverbial, 'iheir vigi lance in terreting out offenders and bringing them to justice, ought to satisfy law breakers that this is an unhealthy latitude for them. A Candid \ new.—A liadical corres pondent of the Pittsburg Chronicle, who a few months ago passed through iialti more, Norfolk, Richmond, Petersburg, Raleigh, Charlotte, Columbia, Charles ton, Augusta, Atlanta, Montgomery, Mobile, New Orleans, Jackson, Mem l phis, Louisville, Frankfort, and other places, alludes to the kind treatment everywhere extended him, though he everywhere urged the acceptance of the Constitutional Amendment. He taya that Mr. Monroe expends more than his sa ary in benevolence, and about four ousand souls are dependant upon his employment for daily bread. He was permitted to mako a speech in the North Carolina Legislature, im me late 'f adjournment, and re prove them for rejecting the Constitu tional Amendment. In his whole trip « card hut two men express a desire ui more fighting. He says though (in his opinion) they ginned in taking up arms, the people honestly surrendered w hen they laid them down. Th* “ee«*e**blj** orgaa” (so called) up the suget, of Friday, say* that: The greateat danger which threaten* oa just uow, ia the poMihility of ditia ions among ouraelves. Let every man in the State strive to prevent auch a con dition of affairs. It i« too apparent, that if we divide, Radical amisanries. aided hy a few mean Southern whites, aril! b<*in to manipulate and cajole the blarka. If we but remain united, the black element in cur midst will ha as day in tlie [-otter's hands, taking such impressions nud directions os we may cbooes to make and direct. If, hy remaining united is meant iuactioe under the Sherman bill, is there not a very strong and reasonable probsbiltty that “Radical emissaries” will be the only potters allowed to manipulate th* “black element ?” and does not the following from the county organ across the way encourage “the greatest danger which threatens us just now"— “the possibility of divisions among ourselves ? A Speech. — Joseph, not the ancient Joseph who lost his coat and saved his honor, but Joseph E„ the modern Mil ledgevillean, who used to egg Morse on in his abuse of Mr. Davis. (Morse ought to intercede with Th&d. Stevens- for Joseph); Joseph who interfered with the transportation of food over tbe State Road to starving Confederate soldiers; Joseph, who, scouted Mr. Davis’ ideu of freeing the slaves and enlisting them in the army ; Joseph, who, in violation of the Confederate Constitution, which he swore to support, sought to force for eigners and aliens into the service of the “sovereign” State of Georgia (Joe. Gov.) thereby compelling many to flee to South Carolina tor refuge; Joseph, who, while Georgia was one of the United States, seized Fort Pulaski; Joseph, who preached and prseticsd secession, while Gov. Jenkins—a Union man—boldly attempted to stay the tide and influence his State, but weut with her out of the Union, stood by and still clings to her —Joseph, this Joseph, speaks a piece, and advises Chas. J. Jenkins, Governor of Georgia! o,tem jx>ra! 0, Joseph! A Chance for Young M n.—ln dis cussing the question as to who would be disfranchised under the reconstruction bill, Ex-Governor Brown, in his speech on Monday evening, said : No man under twenty seven years of age is disfranchised; because a man had to be twenty one years old to hold office that required him to take the oath to support the Constitution, and it has now been six years since the war beguu. The Richmond Dispatch says : “One advantage, we thitik, which may grow out of the disfranchisement will be the bringing into action a number of young tnen who have both energy and hope to take the places of some.who have little if any of either hope or energy. The men we need now are men of spirit and confidence in their ability to work out a prosperous future for their State.” Is it Blarney ?—The Constitution alist of yestt rday contained a number of unhewn flings at Ex-Gov. Brown, of which tbe following is a sample : Joseph, who, in violation of the Con federate Constitution, which he swore to support, sought to force foreigners and aliens into tbe service of tbe “sovereign” State of Georgia (Joe. Gov.), thereby compelling many to flee to South Caro lina for refuge. * * This Joseph, speaks a piece, and advises Charles J. Jenkins, Governor of the State of Georgia. O, tempa/ra. O, Jo seph. tt'e do not remember that the Consti tutionalist—which thus shows up the indifference of the Governor to the Con stitutional rights of foreigners, made any protest against it at the time. - We doubt if our adopted 'citizens, whatever they may t,link of Gov Brown, will appreciate the wit or wisdom of the paragraph from which the above is an extract. Indian Affairs. —Major Wynkoop, in charge of the upper Arkansas Agency reports that tbe rumors of Indian out rages in his section are totally false- The only complaint with the Indians is that the captured Indian children are not returned, and the Government has not been prompt in fnlfillitig its prom isos, especially in annuity goods. They also complain of the stoppage of the supplies of amunition, promised them in their treaty, and Maj. W. says the small quantity allowed can do no harm, as it would be of no service in case of hostilities. The Commissioner on Indian Affairs on Friday last concluded a treaty with the Cherokee Indians of Kansas, modi fying the treaty of July 19, IBG6, so as to allow the tribe 10 sell what is known as neutral lands, comprising about eight hundred thousand acres, to the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company. This morning a treaty was entered into with the Shawnces of Kansas, in which pro vision is made to remove them into the Indian country. Treaties have now been made with all the Kansas Indians providing for their removal. Revenue Receipts. The receipts from internal revenue during the last few days show a decided improvement. On Saturday, they footed up $1,273,. 106.87. The receipts during the week ending on Saturday anioutited to $4, 662,251.01. The receipts daring the month of February amounted to $14,- 836,411.90, and the aggregate receipts from this source since June 30, 1866, the commencement of the present fiscal year, are $201,175,393.30. A Recoxstadcteb Reb.—The Talla hassee Sentinel tells an amusing story of a noble dog which followed the Con federates during the war, aDd lost a leg ‘‘in the eervice j" who has now become a great favorite with the Federal soldiers quartered in Tallahassee, Kindness won him Over. No degrading condi tions, repulsive to his animal instincts were exacted of him, and he is now a good Union dog, “so called.” The Sentinel thinks it is a pity that the oaths and sacred pledge of our people have not been met with as much considera tion as has been extended to a three legged dog! OEOBQIA ITEMS. The Athens Waitkman says wheat in that put of tba country iu very proton iug. On Tuesday last, at executor's sale in Talbotton, 49 acres of laud sold for f>3, M 2) acres for S6O. f w; _ The Hswkinsviilo TKspalcK say* Har rison Vinson killed Augustus Drown ia Jeffersonville on tbe 23d. T he editor of the Brunswick Courier complains that th* people of that city do not patronise him, and offers to sell out cheap. TheOriSa Herald has succeeded in obtaining (ha> publication of tbe official list of letters, mueh to the chagrin of tbe man of the Star. The Wurreoton Clipper says a dead baby was found near that place Inst week, by some dogs belonging to Mr. Burkehalter. No clue to its abandon ment. * v .. The Millegevilie Recorder advises its readers to desist from Cotton culture and go to raising provisions. Sensible advice, if our planters would only heed it. , The planters of Dougherty and sur rounding counties were to have met at Albany yesterday to have organized an agricultural society. A good move, and one that should be followed iu every direction. Judge Fleming, presiding in the Chatham County Superior Court, sen tenced in Savannah, on Tuesday, two negroes to death ; Jack Jewett and Mo ses Bayfield, who were implicated in the murder of Mr. Seckinger, some months since. A communication in the Albany Ketos from Milford, Baker county, says: Onr planters are busily employed preparing their farms for planting. The freedmen are doing well. I hear of no com plaints against them. Our country is very quiet. The Columbus Sun says that several citizens of that city went into the lumber business at Brunswick and Pensacola, thinking they would make fortunes ; but the result proved that they were mis taken in their calculations. One party sunk nearly $25,000, and others have probably come out largely behind hand. The Rome Courier gives an account of a novel chase after a horse thief a few miles from that city. Three men had been arrested in Milton county, for horse stealing. Two turned State’s evidence, and the third—llamsay by name—was sent to jail. The two then started to Alabama to recover some stock they had stolen. On their way back, witli the stock, they met Ramsay, who had broke jail and was on another stolen horse. They ordered him to hall —he fled—they fired on him seven times and he escaped to the woods. Insane Suggestion. —The Georgia Citizen, in a recent article ou the agita tors who control Congress says : Pick off the tyrants who are destroy ing the nation! They are outlaws, in every sense of the word. They are traitors to the Constitution and the Gov ernment. Bring them to the block— swing them as high as Human—treat them ns political bushwhackers—guer rillas and Ishmaelites whose hands are against every honest principle and every honest man. Take them out into the woods and lose them ! Suppose you lead off iu the “losing - ! game, Doctor? It is such foolish ranting as the above that inflames these agitators to increased violence towards the South, and in the name ot the press and of out- distressed people, we protest agaiust such absurd and idle utterances. The Right Spirit. —The following resolution, which was adopted at the meeting of citizens on Monday night, in Atlanta, breathes a liberal spirit, which is worthy of comineiidatiou. It is the true policy. Men and money are needed to develop our resources, and we should welcome to our borders all w.’io come to cast their lot among us : Resolved, That we, the citizens of Fulton county, do hereby proclaim to our fellow citizens throughout the entire Union, a sincere purpose on our part to heal the wounds inflicted by the un happy past, and we take this method of extending to our fellow citizens of every State a cordial and hearty invitation to come and settle in our midst, assuring them, in the name of everything that is sacred, that they shall be received and treated as friends, and as citizens of a common country. The Young Men’s Christian Associ ation of New Orleans is about to be re organized. How about the one in Augusta? Is it dead,or only sleeping? A Fire occurred in-LaGrnnge on the Bth, consuming two buildinus, next to the Sims’ House, one occupied ns a milinefy store and Revenue office ; the other a work shop. A man named Jerome Cheshire was found just out of Atlanta, on Thurs day, in an insensible condition, having been assaulted by a negro for the pur pose of robbery. Rev. J. S. Lamar. —This gentleman was announced to deliver a lecture at the Second Baptist Church in Atlanta, on Thursday night, for the benefit of the poor of that city. Subject: “Home, Sweet Home.” Deliberate Action. —The Athens Watchman, in a discreet article on the situation, urges the avoidance of pre cipitate action, and in conclusion says : If, after deliberation, we conclude that we will never conseut to or be com pelled to adopt the Constitutional Amendment and negro suffrage at the dictation of Congress—why, then, the sooner we act the better. But let ue first deliberate, and then act wisely. The Late Storm. —The Atlanta pa pers report two bridges near Tunnel Hill, on the State Road, swept away by the late storm, also the city bridge at Chattanooga, by which five men on it at the time came near losing their lives. A bridge a few miles beyond Chatta nooga (previously noted by telegraph to this paper) and the city bridge at Knox ville were also washed away. It is stated that the damage to the railroad bridges will be repaired in two or three days. The storm appears to have been exten' sivd, and the damage very pfeat. —At a printer's festival lately, the following toast was offered: “Woman —second only to the press in the dissem ination of news!” Swartjr Johnson’* Vote Explained. The fudtfen and astouading support »iv#n by Reverdy Johnson to Sherman’s Dili is at last explained. He discovered, it is credibly stated, that it was tbe pur pose of the next Congress, which is tenfold more remorseless, violent and praeoriptive than the present, ,to press the passage of a wholesale confiscation bill if the present plan for reconstruc tion fails. He quailed before the reve lation of tbis Moloch spirit, and the vision of confiscation and beggary of millions of his conutrymen extorted from him ths reluctant support of an infamous measure. He saw an unarmed, noble, and defeated section powerleaa, in the grasp, and at the mercy of an unfeeling foe, more remorseless than Goth, Hun, Hessian or Turk,- and he made, as he believed, a timely sacrifice of-opinion to save a people whom he loved, and for whose wrongs his heart bled. There may be men cast in unusual arid heroic mould, designed doubtlessly by God to play the part of mariys, who find in this conduct of Mr. Johnson suffieieut ground for denunciation but we do not. If this explanation of the reason for Reverdy Johnson’s course is true, we think he h is committed one of those sins which the Recording Angel will blot out with a tear for the weak ness of a generous heart, when the books of the Chancery of Heaven are opened for the final balancing of all earth Ij accounts. The South has been scourged terri bly enough for all sane men to pray that confiscation—that last sad vial of Apocalyptic wrath—shall not be poured upon our heads. The world is suffi ciently full of the tales o( the heroism of this blighted nttd impoverished sec tion, for ns, iu the moment of extreme peril, to wish to protect our wives, our children, and our desolated firesides, from the horrors of absolute destitution. Secure as he is in his own life and property from the malice and greed of the modern Goths, the menaced South should surely listen with charity to the excuse which the friends of Reverdy Johnson offer for his support of the ‘Sherman Bill.” Gratefully remember ing that able gentleman’s generous sympathy for us during the war, and his heroic and frequent denunciations of the outrages on the South from his seat iu the Senate, we regret that we should have prematurely denounced him to our readers for yielding to the dictates of a heart full' oi kindness for us. — Richmond Times. Homestead Laws. —We are pleased to see the general interest manifested by the Legislatures of the Southern States, in the enactment of liberal Homestead Laws. The Virginia Legis lature has had such a law under consid eration, and both North Carolina nnd Alabama have lately passed Homestead acts, the former reserving 100 acres of lands, with buildings, if in the country, and one acre, with dwelling and out houses, if in a city or town. The Ala bama bill reserves $1,200 worth of real estate, including the Homestead, and $1 ,000 worth of personal property. No Land for Rebels. —To the bill amendatory of the act of June 21, 1866 for the disposal of public lands in actual homestead settlements ia Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Florida, the House of Representatives added an amendment excluding those who had voluntarily given aid and com fort to the rebellion, but not those who had afterward enlisted in the Federal army and been honorably discharged therefrom. The End of Their Rope.—A Wash ington correspondent ot the Richmond Dispatch says: The extremists i ave now gone to the length of their rope; but they aro not yet hung. They cun go no farther, and when the States hold their conventions under the new statute, and elect representatives to Congress, they are bound to admit them. They cannot disregard their law on this point, with its obnoxious provisions. Promi nent men among them assert that the people cannot be educated to stronger grounds than they now have. So there are evidences that the Radical race is nearly run. —ln chemistry, the best way to sepa rate two bodies is to introduce a third. The same holds true in other depart ments. To increase the distance be tween a pair of lovers, all that’s required is to let little Willie walk into the back parlor holding a lighted candle in his band. AUGUSTA MARKET. Friday, Feb. B—P. M.
