The Board of Managers, Principals, and Pupils af the Augusta Free School, will make their first visit to the City Cemetery, to commemorate the virtues, and decorate the graves of the late lamented Principals of the Male and F'emale Departments of the institution —Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Snowden— Wednesday afternoon, the 22d inst., at 0} o’clock. An address, suitable to the occasion, will be delivered by Rev. James S. Lamar. Fortner pupils, the parents of present pupils, aud the friends of the school generally, are cordially iuvited to be present. Things lhat arc Impolite. We cannot do our young friends, of both sexes, a better service than to invite their attention to the following eighteen things w r hich are very impolite : Reading when others are talking. Cutting finger nails in company. Leaving meeting before it is closed. Whispering in meeting. Gazing at strangers. Leaving a stran ger without a seat. A want of rever ence to a superior. Reading aloud in company without being asked. Receiv ing a present without some manifesta tion of gratitude. Making yourself the topic of conversation. Laughing at the mistakes of others. Joking others in company. Correcting older persons than yourself—especially parents. Commencing to eat as soon as you sit down to the table. Commencing talking before others are through. Answering questions when put to others. And not listening to what one is saying in compauy, unless you desire to show contempt for the speaker. IVnrui Weather. A warm spring is about to give place to a hot summer, and every one who has not yet provided himself with a suit of thin clothes ought to go at once to the Faucy Bazaar, J. P. Weathersbee, proprietor, and order a suit. Mr. W. has also on hand a full stock of dress and dry goods suitable for this seasou of the year. Give him a call. Theatre. Macbeth was effectually presented last night to a small but appreciative audience. The great spectacular drama of the ‘•Seven Sisters" is up for to-night, with new scenes, ballet, and dramatic effects constituting an attractive bill. Judge Kelly. We learn from a private dispatch that Judge Kelly delivered a speech in Atlanta, on yesterday, which was con siderate and conservative, and was attentively listened to. We presume he will speak here soon. Honorable A. H. Stephens. We kuow how averse th is gentleman is to having his views dragged into print, but since it is done, we deem it proper to let his friends see what is said of him. The New York Times has the following : It is stated that A. H. Stephens, who since the close of ihe war has been living in retirement, is engaged in writing a history of the war. He may throw light on the internal administra tion of affairs in the Confederacy, and as an open opponent of the Davis ad ministration, would doubtless be able to set forth the detects in the conduct of affairs to which very many Southern men attribute the failure of their attempt at independence; but beyond this we do not see how this book is to add much to what is already known. A correspondent of a Western paper, who had an interview with Mr. Ste phens, says that while he is extremely anxious for the restoration of the Union, he still believes in the abstract right of secession—but also believes that it is a right which it was, is, and always will be, madness to attempt to exercise. War, he says, never decides any principle—bnt only the practica bility or impracticability of assertiug it. He holds, therefore, that while the war bus decided nothing so far as the abstract right to secede is concerned, it has decided practically against any future effort in that direction. Probably this is the case with the great body of those wbo engaged .in the war against the Union. Some of our extreme men apparently indulge in the hope that by severe measures they can change the hearts aud opinions of Southern men on the whole subject of secession; but they will find themselves mistaken. Indeed, they have no right to make any such attempt by political means. All that law can properly regulate is tbe actions of men ; with their opinions it has nothing whatever to do. AUGUSTA MARKET. Monday, May 20 — P. M. COTTON—The market has been quiet, with a weaker tone. A few sales were made at 25 to 251 cents for Strict to Good Middling. GOLD—I3S to 137. MLVBR—I2B to 131. » CORK—Quiet at *1.60 to 1.65. BAOOK—Quiet and unchanged. Hirer News. The Baudy Moore and Two Boys arrived. Bn tJclcgrapl). FROM WASHINGTON. Sllacrlluneoua. Washington, May I^. Tbe Bureau of Statistics is malting preparations to take the ceusus of 1870, through the Internal Revenue organi sation. A series of reports have been ordered to perlect the Revenue organization for this service. These reports show an increase of three mil lions iu the population since 1860. Tbe Southern States show a decrease. The Eastern States have increased Blightly. The Western States largely. The printing of the three per cent, loan certificates is completed. They consist of two denominations only—five and ten thousand dollars. Only fifty millions of these certificates can remain outstanding. The delay in Attorney General’s iuslrnction regarding the military bills, has been occasioned by the reception of very many letters from the South, pointiug out cases liable to be affected, and asking advice and information. It is the object of the to cover the whole, and at every step new issues and perplexing questions have arisen. It is now thought the work is complete. A private letter from a high officer in Gen. Sickles’ district says: “ All is quiet in this domain. No riot, but tranquility, order and concord.” Chief Justice Chase will preside at the Circuit Court for Nortn Carolina, commencing the 6th of June. Chase has nominated registers in bankruptcy for Louisiana and Georgia, but as nominations require confirmation by the District Judges, the names are withheld. Chase has instructed the District Judges, that in case local objections exist to nominees, to reject them. General Sickles has been Brevetted Major General in the Regular Army, for gallantry and meritorious services. The President has recognized Joseph Auguste Hughes Poileou, Consular Agent of France. The Attorney General has been be. fore the Judiciary Committee all day, and this and other pressing public business postpones the completion of bis opinion npon reconstruction mat ters. Various statements with regard to the character of the Attorney Gene ral’s opinion, mere speculations, are published without aathority. Elaborate investigation and patient reflection are devoted to even minor points. FROM RICHMOND. Richmond, May 19 —P.M. General Grant and staff visited the battle fields around Richmond today.

Violations of public peace and existing order will be dealt with by the military. Out-door congregations after nightfall are prohibited. When public demonstrations are intended, notice must be filed at tbe Mayor’s Office in season to permit the presence of such police force as is essential.

Yesterday a German Princess, wife of one of Maximilian’s Aids, presented herself at Gen. Dias’ headquarters. She proposed disband ing the Austrian and Belgian corps, on the guarantee of the lives of its mem bers, with permission to return home. She also solicited the guarantee of Maximilian’i life. With reference to the first point Dias replied that he was disposed to entertain such proposals, but he had no power to pardon Maxi milian. The report adds: Nothing of note is occurring. During the day we have occasional change of shots. On the arrival of our mortars, should the city not have surrendered, we shall open our batteries on it, aud push hostilities vigorously. (Signed) A.
