H. PtJGHE, Proprietor,
190 Broad and 143 Ellis street.
Pcohe’s Augusta Directory is now
ready, aud can be had of all Booksellers
in the City, and at this office.
River News.—The Steamer Express
left for Savannah on yesterday, and the
Baudy Moore arrived. River 18 feet
and rising.
Pociie's Augusta Directory is now
ready, and can be had ot all Booksellers
jn the City, and at this Office.
Recorder’s Court.—ln this Court
yesterday, an 18th section case was
fined $5 and costs.
And a couple of gay Lotharioi, of the
colored persuasion, who had got into a
difficulty about a damsel, and one had
challenged the other to mortal combat,
and the other had accepted the chal
lenge, were bound over to the Superior
Court for misdemeanor.
Sad Accident.—About four o’clock
yesterday evening, Mr. Philip Prcval
came to his death under very distressing
circumstances. He was employed at
the machine works of Macmurphy &
Thompson, and while oiling some of the
machinery, was caught by some of the
wheels and literally torn limb from limb,
causing his death immediately. Mr.
l’reval was, we learn, a worthy young
man, and leaves relatives in the city,
to mourn his untimely end.
Scientific Lvcture. —We are pleased
to learn that the Misses Sedgwick have
secured the services of Prof. Geo. W.
Rains to deliver a course of Scientific
Lectures, accompanied with experi
ments, before the pupils of their school.
The course will commence on Friday,
March loth, at half past twelve o’clock,
at the lecture room of the Medical
College, and will be continued every
Friday, at the same hour. These lec
tures will be highly interesting and
instructive, and constitute anew and
most valuable addition to the superior
advantages afforded the pupils at the
seminary of which the Misses S. are the
principals.
A Nice Tea Party.— A party of
United States soldiers were arrested
yesterday morning soon after midnight,
by the city Police, while in the aet of
robbing the commissary store in Warren
Block. It appears that the watchman
on that beat observed suspicious move
ments among several soldiers in the
rear ot the store before midnight, and
on inquiry what so many were doing
there at that hour, was told that they
were “just having a little fun”. At 12
o’clock the new guard was notified to
keep a lookout for the boys in blue, and
in a short time several men were
observed with chests of tea, mov
ing stealthily away, while a stalwart
guard, with gun in haud, brought
up the rear. O n being halted by the
I ol.ee, they pretended they were taking
the tea to headqnarters. Thinking it
an unreasonable time lor tea-taking at
headquarters, the Policeman, whose
name was Waters, rapped for help,
aud ordered the tea party to halt. The
valiant guard, whose name was Jones,
took to hu heels, and was fired upon as
he ran He was met by Policeman
May, who succeeded in disarming him,
but in the scuffle Jones escaped. Mean
time, the tea toaters were ordered not to
stir, and like good soldier, they obeyed
order, and were taken in charge and
lodged in the Guard House for exanvi
nation. The number of soldiers impli
cated in this nice little tea-part, was
eeven-six of whom were “captured”
and Jones is still at large.
These reinforcements ‘make twelve
soldiers now under confinement for civil
offences.
Fresh ARRivALa.-Quinn has a fresh
lot of books and periodicals. Among
them is Hiss Evans' “St, Elmo." the
“Child's History of the Utaited States,"
and a great variety of periodicals. Tbs
comic papers far Jbe week are unusu
ally rich and amusing.
I\li»h*'» Auuj;sta Dtnfecsoar is now
ready, and can be bad of all Booksellers
In the City, and at this" Office.
Let's go FlSHUro.—We have’nt
dropped a Hue into the water in ten
years; bui'w# cat) truthfully aav, with
brother Black, of the Eufaula uVetrs,
that it there ever was a time wliea we
felt like turning from the cares of busy
life aud seeking the dreamy yet happy
forgetfulness of the angler, now is that
lime. If you want to forget the world
aud its care, go a-fiahing. Han is born
a gamester, or, to put it mildly, a specu
lator. Asa boy he gambles for mar
bles or pennies at pitch-and-toss, or
risks his top at peg-in the-ring, or gives
his tender mind to the tnyteries of
*• swapping." Asa man of buniness, he
speculates on a grander scale, that’s all.
Well, fishing is all a lottery. Thero is
a glorious uncertainty about it that ap
peals to the gambling instincts of hu
manity. The blanks are many, the
prizes comparatively few, and the pas
time has the rare merit of being at once
innoceut and exciting. The angler,
while awaiting the result of his subse
quent investment loses sight of all his
graver ventures. No thought of the
sharks, gudgeons, or suckers of the
mart crosses his mind as he sits watch
bis float or cork—the silent atmosphere
that keeps en rapport with the fishy
world over which it is suspended. His
whole mind is concentrated upon the
cork. His rod and line are simply arti
ficial combinations of his nervous sys
tem. A bite thrills every fibre of his
frame, accelerates the circulation of his
blood, and even quickens the peristaltic
motion of his bowels.
Lay your linger gently upon an an
gler's pulse wheu engaged in his voca
tion. In bis abstraction he will be un
conscious of your touch, and the instant
the float bobs you will feel the artery
bound. In short, there is nothing that
so completely enchains and enthralls
all the observing faculties as fishing.
There is one objection to the sport how
ever ; it sometimes, tor example, when a
“socdologer" snaps the line at the criti
cal moment, leads to the use of unhal
lowed interjections. We have known
very exemplary persons to ventilate
their vexation in a volley of profane
expletives on such occasions. Let us
hope that when the ministering angels
report cases ot this nature in Heaven’s
Chancery, the recording angel puts the
ejaculations in the same categoiy with
uncle Toby'3 oath, and wipes them out
with a sympathizing tear. We are sure
he does, if he has ever been a fishing ;
for to lose a noble trout, cat or perch,
after he is fairly hooked, is enough to
provoke even an angel.
An Enterprising City. —The value
of property which the city of Augusta,
Maine, gives to the Spragues to estab
lish manufactures there is $552,000.
The city bonds, amounting to $250,000,
have been taken to Boston and New
York where their sale will be negotia
ted.—Lxcliange.
In the City of Augusta, Georgia, the
policy has been to charge manufacturing
establishments largely for land rents
and water rights, and we understand it
is under consideration to increase the
rates heretofore exacted. We commend
the example of her Maine namesake, to
the City Fathers of our City, as worthy
of consideration. Few places in the
country have a Gner water power than
this City, and jt used to its full capacity,
would soon put anew phase owthe busi
ness prospects of the place.
Telegraphic Error. —We find the
following despatch in the New York
Sun:
Augusta, Ga.. March 4.
Meetinge are being called to consider
the recommendations of Gov. Brown.
Public opinion is divided ; three fourths
of the papers are in favor of the accept
ance ; but the majority ot the people are
stronzly opposed to it.
We presume this despatch should
have read three or four papers—instead
of three tourths—though that was short
of the number, as nearly a dozen papers
of the State favor tho recommendation
of the Governor, aud we believe that a
large majority of the people also em
brace it, and are anxious for prompt
action.

amendment proviJing that at eleetions

er they desired a Convention or Bat should
be taken. The amendment gave rise to mo
earnest debate. The ohief argument in its
favor being that suck a vote favoring a
convention would make it constitutional.
It was opposed principally on account o f
opening tbe door for delay and irregularity
in restoring tbe States to representation.
Tbe debate Indioated that a majority 00a
sidored early restoration vital to the finan
cial interests of the country, and a matter
too important for technical trifling.
Mr. Johnson doubted tbe long existenee
of the Government with ten States out.
Mr. Morton opposed the rebels
to say whether they desired a convention.
