PUGiIE, Proprietor, 190 IJroad and 153 Ellis street. Pughe’s Augusta Directory is now ready, and can be had of all Booksellers in the City, and at this office. J. A. Signaigo.— This genial gentle man and versatile journalist—for many years connected with the Memphis press—is stopping for a few days in this city. He was water bound for sev eral days in Chattanooga, and we are indebted to him for the particulars of the flood in that section, which appears in another column. We should bear the affliction of a small deluge with re signation, if it secured to us a few days of his agreeable company. Still we will not wish that he may be beset by the perils which attended his stay in Chat tanooga. Ths Mayor’s Election.— This is a topic of absorbing interest in the city at this time, and all parties appear to be actuated by a desire to unite upon some candidate who will be acceptable to all and who will possess the capac ity to administer the affairs of the city successfully. We understand that a caucus, or se lect meeting of conference was to be held last night, at the Central Hotel, to take the subject into consideration and endeavor to harmonise conflicting in terests and preferences. We regret that this plan was adopted. We do not regard it the best method of securing harmony, which is so important in tile present crisis. The days of caucnsses have past. They are too suggestive of the old political issues of the days when a few men marked out the policy, and selected the leaders for a party; or rather, when a few leaders thus concen trated the support of the party. The issue presented iu the Mayor’s election is too grave to be controlled by personal considerations. The man should be selected who, possessing the requisite qualifications, is the manifest choice of the community. It seems to us that the proper mode of securing expression to that ehoiee, would have been to call a public meeting and invite the friends of all candidates to participate on a per fectly equal footing, with the distinct understanding that the choice indicated by the meeting should be supported by all parties. No other course will secure the harmony which all seem so much to desire, and which is so important under the circumstances. On this subject we admit a communication from a respon sible merchant, of long standing, which, though containing some expressions that we do not approve, is indicative of the wish of a large portion of our com munity and worthy of consideration. SofTHKRN Press AssoctATiox.—The next annual meeting of this Association will be held at Atlanta on the third Wed nesday in April next, fnr the election of officers (or the ensuing year, and for the purpose of consultation in reference to the improvement of telegraphic facili ties, and the organization of an inde pendent association, with reciprocal he-, lations between the New York and Western Associations. The opportunity now appears most iavwable for im proving the character ol our telegraphic arrangements, and probably diminish mg their cost, and, therefore, every da.ly paper south of the Potomac should be represented in this Convention In addition to the business interests ot ths press, the grave political iaauts now presented for our consideration invoke a spirit of harmony, and render a free and fraternal interchange of opinions eminently desirable. Xba w*ath«r opened juttrd morning with n heavy stoat, and settled info an oil fashioned /k>l| fain, which continued op to a lale hour laat night. Mobs Shoes.— Blodgett ft Cos., re ceived yesterday, eeveral cates of shoes for the spring trade.

River about 20 feet, and rising. Suffering in Chattanooga. —Thai people of Chattanooga have suffered terribly by tho late storm. A dispatch in the Atlanta Intelligencer says that nineteen dead bodies were seen by' one man while passing from Lookout mouu to the city in a skiff. Psgiik’s Augusta Directory is now ready, aud can be had ot all Booksellers in the City, and at this Office. The Barnwell Sentinel says that 1,800 cases were returned to the present term of the Court for that District. The Charleston Courier has authon ity for saying that Gen. Meade will, probably be assigned to the command of that district, Hon. Linton Stephens, of Georgia, ia among the arrivals at one of tho New York Hotels. He is on his way to Bos ton to be married to a young lady of that city. So says an exchange. Superphosphate for Potatoes. —A writer in the Country Gentleman says that in an experiment with super phos phnte for potatoes, ho found a spoonful to the hill gave double the yield over those receiving none. Pughe’s Augusta Directory is now ready, and can be had of all Booksellers in the City, and at this Office. A Legal Tender.—A proposition has gained favor iu Virginia to make produce a legal tender.— Exchange. Snch a measure wouldn’t help us much down this way, for produce is about as scarce as greenbacks. Conciliatory .—The House of Com mons, by large majorities, has decided to open up the highest judicial office— that of Lord Chancellor—in both Eng land and Ireland, to members of the Roman Catholic faith. Catholics, by the same measure, are declared eligible for the post of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. And another liberating bill opens up the professorships in Dublin University, and abolishes their secta rian character. Now, this sort of liberalizing work should not stop here. It should go on till the State Chnrch in Ireland is left to stand on its own legs—on till non-resident Irish land lords are taught that their tenants have rights which the law recognizes. Some more vigorous and sound legislation of that sort would far sooner make an end of Fenianism than playing hide* aud-seek with small bauds of Fenian peasants in the mountains of Kerry.
