The BIII.Y PBKSS Is ale® Ike Official Paper '•« Ike City of Anfetlßi haela* keen .leered by Ike City Connell ae tbelr Official •rfaa- THE MAYOR’S ELECTION. It has not been usual, for many years, for our City papers to take any direct part in the municipal elections; and we at present see no reason to justify a change in the time honored usage of leaving the matter to the free choice of our citizens. Appreciating the impor tance, nt this time, of sinking individ ual preference, and uniting upon some capable and acceptable candidate, we have favored a public meeting, ns the iairest mode of securing an expression of the popular will; and we were grati fied at the resolution adopted by a re cent meeting of citizens to submit the choice of the Ward Committees to a meeting on next Saturday night. This plan gives promise of harmonious ac tion, which, it is evident, cannot he se cured in any other way. It is so easy to m mipulate private meetings, and ward caucuses to the pro motion of this interest or that, that such a choice cannot secure the harmony desired. Therefore, let the people come together in their sovereign capacity ; let the friends of all who have been named in connection with the office be on hand ; let an expression ot the popular choice be made, and all good citizens will acquiesce in the result. This is fair—and the only fair or effective way of settling the question ; and those who counsel or adopt any other course will become responsible for the conse quences of any division that may result from their action. Tn the present crisis the responsibility will be very grave, and we cannot doubt that it will be deemed wise, and prudent, and just, for all who desire to preserve the City from disgrace and misrule, to coflperate in the meeting on Saturday night, and abide by its choice. An Alabamian on the Crisis. The Mobile Advertiser and Register publishes the following extracts from a letter recently received from an Ala .bamian iu Washington. The editor says the views of the writer do not accord with those presented in his columns, “but at a time like the present honest advice is worth listening to.” * * * “Ihe iniquitous ‘military bill,’ passed over the veto, as you are doubtless iulormed, without debate. That masterly production (the veto) was regarded hy Congress as a studied insult, and was flung in the President’s teeth with the utmost scorn and con tempt, and be can no longer stand as a breakwater between us and utter de struction. The Supreme Court will be as utterly powerless, even were that body disposed to interfere, or interpose in our behalf, which is, to say the least, doubtful. There are checks upou the Executive and upon the Supreme Court, but none upon Congress. It is, as at present composed, despotic and politi cally irresponsible, and as bitter as the dose may be, as onerous as the military bill may be, as destructive as it may prove of all our rights and happiness, it has been saddled upon us. and we must bear it, in all its terrible and yet undeveloped import. What then ought the people ol Alabama to do ? Shall we fold our arms and quietly sink to annihilation with those dependent on us for the bread they eat. I mean oar wives and little one3, lose our lands and what little the wreck of war has left us ?—or promptly act upon the requirements of a military despot ism. We have in my judgment, butene alternative, and that is prompt action, and secure, if possible, a return to the Union—in other words do that which, if we do not, others will do for us. I know the reply is, let us lose everything but our honor. This applied very well, when we were required, or rather, when it was proposed to adopt the Constitu tional Amendment. Upon this ques tion we were Iree to act upon our own volition, and we declined voluntary de degradation ; but alternatives are now presented wiLh the bayonet at our throat. * * * * * * * “ My opinion is that we could get in by fairlv and squarely accepting the bill, if we act promptly. We know that the old leaders must be laid aside, that all magistrates, judges, military and naval men, who took the oath to the United Slates Government, und after wards went into the Confederate service, will be disfranchised, and that anew set of men must be brought to the service. Are there not enough in Alabama to form anew government? In my opinion there are. ****** “ If the people fail uow to act, then a government will be made to hand for us by the baronet, and general confiscation will inevitably follow. That (.ill is al ready prepared. The property of those who ore disfranchised by the Constitu tional Amendment pill go first, and nf terwards the musses. I have not heard from the South', hut feeling my own responsibility on this subject I shall act upon my own judgment, without refer ence to those who have been our leaders heretofore." Mr. Henry Bergh has had a man arrested for torturing cows, by keeping them on swill in filthy stables. The New York Tribune suggests that he should go after the tenement house land lords.' (communicated.} ■The Augusta Canal. “ Under the spirit of the time* which then prevailed, the Cotton factories did not pay a cent foe their mill Mica. They have for twenty two year* p.id no City tax, and ter nil* yesr* no c*"* l rent. All the other mills, except these, have purchased their own sites, and pay about Sl9 per horse Purer per year tor their water power. The three mills ex cepted were built upon leased sites, and were, and are, nuisances caused by the war. Having escaped uiinnie balls, they should be prompt with their " greei * hacks," and pay their water rents with out mueh grumbling." Mr. Editor: We fii and the shore para graph in jour issue of the 17tb, orer the signature of Mr. Wm Phillips, Engineer ol the Augusta Cansl. As we hare lenrned that ours is one of the three mills referred to above, we have the right to ask why Mr. Phillips deiignates our establishment "a nuisance.” and why he implies, by iuuendo, that we have not been prompt with our green backs in payment of our water rent ? Not possessing the scientific acumen of Civil Engineer », we confess we “ can’t see it" ourselves. Will Mr. Phillips en lighten us T A nuisance, forsooth 1 If producing the ** bread that giveth life” be a nui sance, then our mill is one; if haring successfully established a branch _ot manufacturing industry, never belore attempted in Georgia, be a nuisance, then our establishment is oue; it tur nishing the means whereby several families in our poverty stricken commu nity exist be a nuisance (let the opera tives in our employment answer), then we acknowledge the “ solt impeach ment ,f and ‘‘glory in our shame," and while we are thankful for the dis tinction, let Augusta curse the fates that have not saddled many more such “ nuisances" upon her, in which event some of that immense water power (600 horse) which Mr. Phillips sadly com plains of running to waste, might lie absorbed. It ia true, our building lacks many of those elaborate architectural embellishments that the eye ot the con noisscur loves to rest upuu,and of which a city may be justly proud ; ours being hut a plain substantial building. How ever, it answers onr purpose admirably, and we thiuk ire are the parties most interested. With reference to the water rent and the “greenbacks”—und we address ourselves now especially to our friends, the Public—our hill for water rent, due on the Ist of January, at the rate of $lO per horse power per annum was paid upon presentation, or at least as close upon it as merchants and busi ness men generally pay their bills. Then why does Mr. Phillips undertake to place us in a false position before the public? We confess, we can find no solution to the problem, and as this is a matter upon which men are generally very sensitive, we do not claim to be any exception to the general rule. We feel that Mr. Phillips—unadvisedly, we hope —has done us a serious injustice, equally as unmerited as uncalled for, and we trust that gentleman’s well known courtesy and better judgment will dictate reparation to us, in a man ner equally as public as the offence we now complain of. Nelson & Mcllwaine. [communicated.] Mr. Editor of the Daily Press: Dear Sir :—You given pub lication in your columns to a communi cation from Mr. Wm. Phillips, in which he makes use of an expression, branding my own. and two other establishments in close proximity to me, ns nuisances, I hope you will give this communication the same showing. So far ns I know, 1 have kept my works in a perfectly .-afo condition. One thing is certain, I have never been notified by Mr. Phillips tha. any repairs were needed about tny works. Again, he says the three mills ex cepted were built upon leased sites, and were, and are nuisances cause l by the war, etc., which was certainly a most unjustaml ungenerous attack upon a man who had always looked upon Mr. Phil lips as a perfect gentleman. As to the Augusta Bobbin Works being a nuisance caused by the war, I must say that he is slightly under a mistake: and if he or any one else, curious on the subject, will call at my office, I will convince him, or fhem, by the showing of a diploma awarded me by the South Carolina In stitute in 185 G. that I was engaged in this same business at that time. And by various premiums awarded me from time to time, by the different Fairs held in this State, from that time until the commencement of the war, that I am, at least, if a nuisance, not a creature of the war. I send you herewith a communication by myself, Messrs. Nelson & Mcllwaine, and i)ay & Hopkins, addressed to Mr. Phillips', and his reply to the same— which I hope you will also publish, from which an intelligent public can judge the ground upon which an old and much esteemed public functionary takes upon himself, without cause, publicly to denounce three industrial establishments as nuisances. Verily out or his own mouth cometh his own condemnation. Respectfully, H. T. Nelson, Proprietor Augusta Bobbin Works. [communicated.] Augusta Ga.. March 18. Messrs. Kelson dk Mcl waine, It. T. Kelson, JJay & Hopkins : Gf.stlemzn: Your noie of this date is at hand, in which you say : “ Our attention has been called to your article in the Dam.y Press of yes terday, and we enclose a paragraph ot that article, the offensiveness of which must be apparent to every one. If the term ‘‘nuisances,” opprobiously applied to three of the manufactories, was iu any way a mistake, and we were the parties indicated, your sense of courtesy and justice will dictate a retraction as pub lic and candid as the slur itself has been open und insulting. If, on the other hand, you meant what you said, and are determined to thus publicly decry and injure us, we feel that we must, also, use the public journals for vindication. "Awaiting your reply, we remain, “Very respectfully, “Nelson & McTi.waine, “H. T. Nelson, “Day k Hopkins.” * “P. S. Your answer during the day would oblige us.” The above note was received this fore noon, with the following slip enclosed: “ Under the spirit of the times which then prevailed, the Cotton factories did not pay a cent lor their mill sites. They have for twenty two years paid no City tax, and for nine years no canal water rent. All the other mills except these have purchased their own sites, and pay about $lO per horse power per year for their water power. The three mills ex cepted, were built upon leased sites, and were, and are, nuisances caused by the war. Having escaped minnie balls, they should be prompt with their “green bteks,” ni;d pay their water rents with out much grumbling.” Now, geutlcmcn,us you have marked the word nuisance, ss a quotation, I presume the extent of my offense lies is the use of that term, and while I canuot retract it, I offer you the following qualification, which may, perhaps, meet yowr views of couiteny ami justice: *As Hngieeer of the Augusta Canal, though I do aoi choose to address you in that capacity, I am perfectly familiar with the origin of the works referred to, Rnd am satisfied that you have not complied with the terms of your contract, which requires that jou shall, at yosr own proper charge and expense, ktep all your works connected with your mills, and especially the headgates and flume, penstock, wheels, raceway, and other parts connected with the use of water granted, in good order and condition; and I feci at perfeet liberty to refer you to the existing shabby and dangerous condition of your raceways, to justify myself ill the use of the term nuisance. With your private affairs I have nothing to do, and until it is mr duty or interest to do so, enn make no effort to ascertain what they are, consequently I could not express any opinion con cerning them. At present lam free to admit,lf you claim it, that yOu are doing a prosperous business with the water of the canal, that you are employing a large number of workmen, paying your city taxes, and all 'other demands, promptly, and, in short, that you may be considered pnblic benefactors instead of nuisances, and if you would only fix up your mill races and relieve me of the constant fear I have of a “cave in” or “blow up" at your mills, it would afford me the greatest pleasure to withdraw the word altogether. Respectfully, your ob’t serv’t, William Phillips. FUNERAL NOTICE. Jfta f'lhe friends and acquaintances of Mr. and Mrs. R. V.

The Mayor stated that the meeting hsd been called at the request of Mr. Crump, who then had the following communication mad: Augusta, Ga., March 9, 1867. T° t\c City Council of Auyucta : The undersigned, a committee of the Faculty of the Medical College of Georgia, b:g leave to call your attention to, and ask your co-opera'ion in, the establishment of ttta following enterprise, the scope of which gives it a public intercut. On or about Ist of April proximo, in order to increase their clinical facilities, the Faculty contemplate organising a Charity . Clinic, to be known as the “ Medical and Surgical Poli-Clinio,” to be held at the College, several times per week, atwhicl, such of the poor indigent sick of the City as present themseWes, will be furnished with “ the best professional advice the Faculty can affbid, and necessary medicines free of charge/* It is intended as a institution, having regular officers to preside over and conduct it so as to secure its highest effi ciency. At least two officers will attend each session, togethor with a pharmacutist, and it is to arranged, that such of the sick as, having ence presented themselves, and atterw&rds become temporarily unable to do so, will be visited by an assistant, at their home, if desired. We hope to make it a public necessity, high in favor with its beneficiaries, and worthy of thPgenerons confidence of the communi ty. Some expense must be incurred in its execution ; on (heir part, the Faculty will give their time, services, and the service of the pharmacutisr, and respectfully ask, on your part, an appropriation to meet the cost of medicines. Tbis, we are led to be lieve, will not require more than $290 per annum. A register of patients, medical racord, and prescription book will be kept, to which the Mayor, or a Committee of Council, might bave access, and if need be, the President of the Clinic, Prof. Dugas, might return vouchers for the expenditure of the mouey thus appropriated. Os the necessity for tbis auxiliary institu* tion, we need n»*t speak, for besides foster ing incidentally another which has brought into the City during the past thirty years, more than $500,000, four fifths of which has gone into the pockets* of the citizens at large, it will supply to a large and deserv ing class, a tangible, dispensing charity w .ich involves no conflict between duty and mtereßt on the part of those conducting it. Earnestly invoking your favorable con sideration, we roinain, Yours very respectfully, Wm. I'. Doughty, Edward Gkddings. On motion of Mr. Crump, the petition was grauted, and an appropriation of S2OO ordered to be made. Mr. Crump asked if anything bad been done in reference to certain poor persons kept in the City Hospital, but not sick, which was referred to at the last Regular Meeting of Council. Tbe City Ordinances do not allow persons out.-ide of tbe City to be sent to the Hospital, but char ity sometimes required that this rule should be overlooked. The Mayor stated that he would confer with the Judges of the In ferior Court on the subject, and it was agreed that the Chairman of the Hospital Committee should have some discretion in such cases, and the bu-iness was, on motion us Mr. Robertson, laid over until the next Regular Meeting of Council. The following Report from the Committee on tho City Cemetery was read: REPORT. The undersigned, to whom was referred the application of Tbos. A. Kunze, City Sexton, with power to act, have acted in the matter by increasing tho City Sexton a fees or charges to the following rates : For digging a grave. $2.50; for attending a funeral without the hearse, $2.00 ; sos at tending a funeral with the hearse, $5.00 ; which action they report to Council, aid ask its ratification, or adoption.

'T'HIS ARTICLE IS BEING PREPARED BY US AT OUR PLACE OF BUSINESS A in this City, where we invite Planters and others interested to call and examine our stock, and witness the preparation of the above named MANURE. It is composed eutirely of pure and unadulterated GUANQ6 (of which 25 per cent of the whole mixture is warranted to be pure No. 1 Peruvian Guano), and we warrant each and every package of it to contain the exact ingredients and same proportions as the sample analyzed bj Prof. Shepard, whose analysis and report we annex, as follows: Charleston, S. C., February 16th, 1567. Jlestr*. Wilcox , Gibb* & Cos. : Gentlemen : The following is my analysis and report upon the sample you have placed in my hands, of Wilcox, Gibbs A Co.’s Manipulated Guano : Hygromctric water 18.60 Combined water and organic matter rich in ammouiacal salts 18.00 Phosphate of lime 44.50 C. rbonate of lime j.SO Insoluble tilicinus matter, with considerable traces of per oxide of iron 15.80 Chloride of sodium, sulphates of ammonia, lime, and soda, with loss 1.30 # 100.00 The present sample shows a very advantageous mixture. It has enough of Peruvian Guano (say 25 per cent.) for any soil or crop ; while the great bulk of the preparation is obviously an unadulterated natural Guano, rich in organic matter, with considerable already formed Ammonia (and the material for its continued production as required by the crop), together with 44.50 per cent, of Phosphate of Lime, nearly two percent, of which is in a soluble state. If kept up to the standard of this sample, there is no hazard in predicting that lands treated with 250 or 300 pounds of it to the acre, will be placed in an effective condition for any crop. Very respectfully, yours, CHARLES UPHAM SHEPARD. Knowing the composition, as well as judging from the analysis and report of Prof- Shepard, we are confident it will prove to bo an excellent MANURE, and P®y Planter handsomely who uses it judiciously. We would recommend the use of 175 to 201 pounds per acre for Cotton or Coru ; 250 to 300 pounds for Wheat, and that it be the same as other Guanos—under the bed for Cotton, in the hill for Corn, and broadcast lor Wheat. Thi* Guano is ready for use, all the lumps having been thoroughly ground* and the whole passed through a seive before packing, and it is a very handsome article in appearance ami condition. It is packed in barrels ol about 300 pounds, and bag* « 200 pounds, ami the price will be uuiform, as follows : $65 per Ton of 2,000 pouods, Cash. Our Agents will sell at the same price, with necessary expenses added. We are now prepared to deliver this Guano in quautities to suit, and solicit orders for tho same, which will bo promptly tilled.
