From a special notice in another place, it will be seen that the officers ot Registration in this district will com mence their labors next week, and con tinue them at the place designated.

On Friday last the Augusta Water Works furnished the city 420,000 gallons of water—being the largest quantity ever used in a single day. Conuting the population at 25.000, each inhabitant could have used 16 1.20 gallons. Flour from New Wheat. We are indebted to our enterprising friends Clark A Martin, of the “Augnsta Mills,” for a sack of Flour from New Wheat, of rery superior quality. This firm are preparing to do a large business, and the public have, in the past char acter of their flour, an ample guarantee of its quality in the future. Superior Court. The Court was occupied a portion of the day on civil docket. In the case of M. Cohen vs. Moore A Wright, the jury brought in a verdict for the defendants, with a set off. This was a caEe in which J. R. W. Johnston borrowed a sum of money from the plaintiff, as Business Manager of the Chronicle & Sentinel, which the Proprietors refuse to pay, alleging that he had no authority, aa Business Manager, to contract such obligations. The case goes to a special jury. Ihe criminal docket was taken up, and the case of the State vs. J. Web ster, charged with burglary at night was tried. V erdict guilty, with a recom mendation to the mercy of the Court J he Court discharged the juries, and adjourned until nine o’clock Monday morning, when the appeal docket will he taken up. Speech ot (lev. Brown. At the request of a number of our subscribers we lay before our readers, on the outside page to-day, the able speech of Ex-Gov. Brown, recently de livered at Milledgeville, and commend it to the careful perusal of our reader*. Gov. Brown, and those who agree with him as to the policy of accepting the Sherman Bill, have been the object* of uiore coarse and wanton abuse than has ever been heaped upon a public man, or a political movement in the State. Ihe Governor and bis adherents are e 1 up to public obloquy as false to I '■ *J unor ’ traditions, and interests ot tle ou, | l .

Dear' Press Greeting, and at soeh a time I” One ot the many at tractive features of your sprightly daily, in my humble judgment, ts the corres pondence from Tarious portions of our loved old Sta—Territory. [Would that I could have finished that word “Stale.’' But I have strong faith in the abiding intelligence of the bona fde citizens of Georgia—the men identified with her future weal—and nm hopeful that their ballot! will call for a Convention ; that the Convention will be composed of our best representatives ; that, acting upon the true Bentham philosophy which inculcates “ the greatest good to the greatest number,” our people will disarm all fanatical opposition by a manly acceptance of the issue of the wager of battle; and thns reclaim for “ the last of the ukl thirteen,” her former proud distinction of ■* Empire State of fne Sooth.’* So may Heaven grant] Bat I am no politician—only my pen run along with mv thoughts while musing on our “ situation,” And right here, dear Press, another thought comes up: *• Politician*— ah, that's what’a the matter—politics! Am I too sanguine in the belief that the people— l mean, the great mass of laboring men, the “ handled and forty and four thousand ” and more—the muscle, who love peace and prosperity, as well us their wives and little ones—in the belief, I say, that these voters of Georgia, tired of strife, are determined to come aboard the tow boat Reconstruction, every man in his place, shoulders to the wheel, hope in bis heart, and gladly aid in bringing our old ship of State once more in Union harbor? I‘ll not believe it. There are too many of ug who, Bailing o’er the stormy main of a five-year's billow-tost voyage, are beginning to realize the established legal maxim —the safety of the ship is the mother of wages. Macon is quiet, just now—not much doing in the way of trade, though oar merchants are anticipating lively times pretty soon, as Providence is smiling upon the labors of the delighted hus bandmen all over the country. It is ready gratifying to note the innumerable improvements progressing in this pleasant City of the Hills and vicinity. Neat cottages are going up, almost as if by magic—the homes, sos the most part, of the true noblemen or oar gunny land, those who earn their bread in the manner indicated by the Great Architect of the universe—ftind whose divine Son. while he dwelt among men, stamped the impress of dignity upon honest toil, in that he labored with His own hands in the vocation of the husband of Mary the mother of God. • The paragraph in the letter of your Atlanta correspondent, 10th instant, alluding to the Mayor of your City, is attracting considerable attention in this locality, where that efficient officer and worthy gentleman baa troops of friends.” If 1 bare scanned the horizon accurately, and reliability is to be placed upon the comments of the multitude, the conviction is apparent that should Mr. Blodgett consent to serve the people of his native State, his promotion as Chief Magistrate thereof may be re garded as a settled fact. Hurried. More anon. Yonrs, Richmond. GEORGIA ITEMS. A child of W. W. Lee, of Dawson, Ga., wap drowned in a tan vat a few days ago. The Macon Telegraph says that the largest lumber firm in Brunswick are about to move to Colonel's Islaud, on the opposite side of the bay. This island is said to he an admirable location for a town, and is several miles nearer to the Atlantic and Golf Railroad than Bruns wick, and the titles to the laud are unquestioned- The Savannah News notices the busi ness of the toll house at Jenks’ bridge, on the Ogecbee river, and murder of the keeper, an honest old negro, who has had charge of the gate for many years. His body was found in the ashes, tbe morning after the fire, burned to a crisp, and it is supposed he was murdered lor his money, aa he bad, besides hie toll fees, an amount of gold Which he had saved from the earnings of former years. flg ®rtegrajrt). FROM WASHXHGTOE. Ml iucellsuswmaa. Opinion of the Attorney' General. Washington, June 15, P. M. It is understood in official circles that the Attorney Geeeral, in bis opinion, jnsl prepared, holds that the Recqp struction Acts provide for two Govern ments—military and civic—that both are provisional, and to be obeyed, hut to cease when reorganization of the State governments take place. He also takes the poailiou that the military is only to protect all in their rights of per sonal property, and for the preservation of order, and the suppression of violence and crime. There is no authority in the law for removal by the military commander of the proper officers of the State—neither Executive nor Judicial—or the appoint ineut ol their successors. The military com maader is not author iaed to destroy, but is bonnd to protect civil officers—a military commander being regarded as a conservator of the peace, sad not an abrogator of the law. A Jury was obtained in the Surratt cass to-day, which will secure a trial of the accused, beginning on Monday. An agent for the Pacific Railroad, California side, has arrived here, to ob tain through the Freedmen’s Bureau th» services of from 1,000 to 1,500 colored laborers on that road. Stevens has written a letter, urgently recommending a session of Congress. The amount of gold in the Treasury of the United States to-day was $103,000,000; of which $35,000,000 be long to the Government. The President has received a memo rial from citizens of Texas, regarding the restoration of Judges Bacon and Stribbling, reinstated by Sherman, after their deposition by the Legislature. The memorialists say the military com mander at El Paso disregarded the laws of Texas, denied connty officers the right to execute State laws, refused to recognize officers appointed by Gov. Hamilton, and that he appointed magis (rates, with authority to render judg ments and issue executions withou t allowing debtors the stay provided by law. They also state that Bacon is unfitted by lack of learning for the position; also that property of citizens of El Paso county, Texas, has been confiscated and suld since the dose of the war, under processes issued by the Federal District Court of New Mexico. FROM HEW YORK. Nxw York. June 15—P. M. Sir Wm. Napier, brother of the ex British Minister, was arrested here on a charge of purchasing of one C. P. Mendenhall, of Baltimore, goods amounting to $3,300, and giving in payment a worthless order on an Eng lish bank. He denies his guilt, and agreed to be examined on the 24th in st, EROM TEXAS.
