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 relished it “eonsuinedly,” as the oid Knickerbocker would say. and, hereby, touch our ''beaver'* to him of the Shades, Miles Make. —The ladies all declare that there is nothing on earth in the way of a shoe, equal to " Miles’ make.” M. Cohen has just received a large va riety of that celebrated manufacture. The Floods. —Late reports state that cars will run through, on the East Ten nessee road to Knoxville, by to-day. The damage to the Nashville road be. tween Chattanooga and Stevenson is very great—much of the track still un. der water, at last accounts to the At. lanta pipers. No bridges were swept away beyond Knoxville. Chattanooga suffered immensely— the whole city was under water, and it wasßev cn feet deep at the car shed on Sunday night. Last Florida. —We conclude to-day die interesting descriptive sketches of the “Land of Flowers,” from the Talla hassee Sentinel. They give a good idea of a section of country that is now attracting a good deal of attention. I 'ghk s Augusta Directory is now ready, and can be had ot all Booksellers in tbe City, and at this Office. At Bi.odgett's will be found a full assortment of boots and shoes for the Spring trade.

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. En tulcgcrtpli. Tociija Xafeooi FROM WASHINGTON^ ('•ugrrxionul. k9f*9i' m r —Jr ■ W AMIKTM, M arch I»—P. M.

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. The Rome Courier says that during the thirty six hour* preceding Thursday morning last, five inches of water fell in that place, being the largest amount ever known for the same length of time. - THE MILITARY LAW.
