Timely. —Yesterday about 12 o'clock,
while the atmosphere was close and
‘‘muggy, '’ and the least exertion put
one in a melting and dilapidated mood,
friend Beavor, of the ‘'Old Shades,”
came to our relief with a nice biggen
of ale, and the trimmings to match. We

DI.MTO.TI..™
R»r. J. O. A. Clare's Lbctur*.—
The lecture at Masonic Halt on Mon
day evening was listened |o by an ap
predhti* awdietfa with greet pleasure.
The Reverend gentleman traced the
gradual development of the idea of God,
as illustrated in the history of Uis an
cient people, and manifested by the
service ol l*t the Altar, 3d tho Taber
nacle, 3d the Temple; culminating in
the glorious announcement that “God
i* a spirit, and they that worship Him
must worship in spirit and in truth.” He
gave special emphasis to tho musical
portion of the Temple service, and pro
seated an array of sciiptural testimony
in (aver of Instrumental music in sacred
worship, greater than we have ever
heard before. We were truly sorry that
so many of our citizens tailed to hear
this very suggestive and interesting
address, presented in a style so happilv
conceived and beautifully expressed ;
and trust the Reverend gontluman may
be induced to repeat it.
Pug he's Augusta Directory is now
ready, and can be had ot all Booksellers
iu the City, and at this Office.
Let Every One Vote. —We cheer
fully publish the communication of
‘ Citizen” on the duty of every city to
secure registry tickets, and vote in the
coming municipal election. We have
repeatedly urged this subject upon the
attention of our City readers; but re
cent events have made it more impera
tive titan ever. Rut a few days remain
in which to register—let every one who
is qualified go early and comply with
the law.
The Alexandria Elec ton. —The
Radical papers are exceedingly severe
on President Johnson for allowing the
negro vote to be excluded in the Alex
andria election. The Tribune says the
authority of the government has been
insulted and defied, and when he con
siders that the President allowed this,
his apologies for the massacre of New
Orleans, and his indifference to the dis
regard of the Civil Rights bill, cease to
excite surprise.
The Bishop of Georgia. —The Rev.
Dr. Wm. Pinckney, of Maryland, has
been suggested as one worthy to wear
the mantle of tho lamented Bishop
Elliott, as any living clergyman. The
Rev. John Bcckworth, of New Orleans,
Rev. Dr. Hall, of Washington, 1). C.,
and Rev. Mr. Euer, of New York, have
also been spoken of in connection with
the vacant Bishopric.
A Timely Suggestion. —lt is said
that a little quicksilver mixed with
ordinary lamp oil, and applied to crevi
ces in bedsteads, with a feather, is
about the best preventive of bedbugs.
Proportion of Wohkino Men.—Ac
cording to the census of 18G0 there were
102 cities in the United States, having
each a population of more than 10,000.
The aggregate population of those cities
was 4,763,717, of which number, 557,-
920 were mechanics. These figures
prove, says the New York Sun, that
nearly two thirds of the male adult pop
ulation of our cities are mechanics, and
if the whole field of manual labor be
included, it is probably safe to say that
three-fourths of the adult males in the
cities are what is commonly called
working men, men who “earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow." In
New York there is a population of about
1,000,000, and we doubt not that fully
three-fourths of that number are work
men and their families. Y r et, with all
this numerical advantage, the interests
of labor can hardly obtain a respectful
hearing in our legislative bodies.
Workingmen have to bear the burden
of bad government, and to stand the
effects of official imbecility. For this
state of things, however, the workingmen
have nobody but themselves to blame.
If they will continue, year after year, to
allow themselves to be divided and led
by politicians, as many of them do, they
can expect nothing better than they re
ceive.
Maximilian os the War Path.—
The latest advices from Mexico state
that Maximiiian has gone to the field
with about 6.000 men. It is stated also
with a shadow of reliability, that Mira
mon, Marquez, Maximilian, Mejia, Gas
tello, and the supporters of the Empire
and all their troops, started from Quere
taro, and were met and completely de
feated at Abaco, on tho 16th ult., by
Gen. Escobedo.
Juarez and his followers are concen
trating for the capture of the Capitol,
and Maximilian is evidently on the short
road “to glory or the grave.” His suc
cess, under the circumstances which
surround him, would be one ot the
grandest achievements ol the age. and
we cannot help feeling that it would
mark the brightest page in Mexican
history —for he is evidently, in all the
qualities that fit a man to rule, a head
aud shoulders above any and all the
leaders of the factions arrayed against
him. -i • -
Sombthixg For Thought. —The
Winnsboro’ (S. C.) Tri-Weekly News,
makes the following extract from a
letter from a distinguished gentleman,
whose opinion is worthy of deep con
sideration. He says:
As to politics—if the South without
delay organize new State governmenfs,
under the law just passed by Congress,
letting the blacks vote, they can end the
revolution. If not, the next thing will
be confiscation au.d a larger disfran
chisement.
The Columbia Phoenix publishes the
above, with the following comment.
A recent visit to the North, during
which we took Washington by ilia way,
confirms the truth of the above state,
moot. The best thing we can do is to
slide off as easy as possible; to attend
to our own affairs, aud leave politics to
those whom it benefits.

RECEIPTS OF COTTON—According
to tho weekly table of the Financial Chron
icle, the receipts of Cotton for the week
onding the Bth, were only 61,294 bales,
against 73,574 bales the week previous, and
60,030 bnies three weeks since—making the
total receipts since September, 1,390,917
bales, against 1,391,611 bales for the same
period in 1865 6. The reports this week
indicate an approaching exhaustion of the
supply in many quarters; this view is con
firmed in tbe decreasing of interior stocks.
—s ;
On last Tuesday, there were sold, at
public outcry, in Bleakley, Ga., some
three or four lots of land, none of which
brought over one dollar per acre —some
of it very good pine land.

ever known for the same length of
time. -

—Concerning Barnum and his Con
gressional aspiration, a Connecticut
paper says, that “sewing a monkey’s
head and a fifth’s tail together, to make
a mermaid, is a performance well calca-
Inted to make a man notorious, but it
affords no evidence of statesmanship.”
