An Augusta oorrespondent of Mr. Matt O’Brien's little son thus nommenoes his letter: “Dear Mark: Your long and welootned letter came just in time for gun-wads.” Now, the query is, did he appreoiate it or nol? lu one way he moat oertainly did, as his words imply, for gun-wadding. It is certainly a norioe in the way of a prelnsory. American Usmsaeistn Club Their grounds are on Front street, about fifty yards north of the Mobile and Girard Railroad.

Urnnoh preaohed at this meet ing last night, from Luke 18th and 7th. viz : “Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, behold, these three years I oome seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none; out it down; why oumberetb it the ground?" Many were present and a goodly number went forward for the prayers of tho Christians, both members and non-members of the oburohps. There’s but one feature deficient and that is Binging. Come out to-night all you “singors" and assist in this beautiful mode of praising the Deity. RAILROAD AFRICAN Major John Colvin, while ooming down Broad street yesterday, saw a negro mau snatoh a bolt of oalioo from a pile in front of J. Kyle * Co’s and walk down the street with it under bis ooat. The Major gavo obase, but finding the “gen tleman of Afriean (de)'scent’” gaining ground gavo vent to some yells that would have made a Oomanohe brave siok with envy. “Catch him, eatoh him !’’ sounded and resounded in our usually quiet neigh borhood and brought forth many from their quiet abodoB expeoting to bear of some horrible murder. The darkey ran on, and finding he wbh pretty closely pressed, threw the goods in the yard of Mr. N. L. lledd, from whence it was brought and returned to the proper owns era, by the gallant Major. That's right. Major, you gave us an itom, so run an other when you feel like taking such re- freahing exeroise.

CHORAL UNION. AN IMPROMPTU rONVKBT IN HONOB OF MISS ANNIE MATS. Last evening at Springer's Opera House the Choral Union gave an impromptu conoert to Miss Annie Mays, who leaves to-day for Europe. The fair lady is the step daughter of H. W. Hilliard. The ocoaaion was a happy one. Present were about three hundred—mostly honorary members. the pboobammx. First on the programme was a number of fine choruses by the Union, “Now the roll of the lively dram,” “Anvil Chorus” and “Pilgrim Chorus,” after whioh was a tenor solo by Mr. S. D. Moore; next a so prano and alto duet by Misses Mary Kiv- lin and Mary Goetchius. The audience was then favored with a bass solo by Mr. W. C. Coart, “The Par ish Sexton.” 'Tis but a faded flower,” by Mr. Matt O'Brien, came next. Miss Mays sang in a sweet and plaintive style that elicited much applause, “Way down on the Suwanee River” and “We met by ohanoe, the usual way.” Mr. J. L. M. Estes then sang very sweetly “Farewell." Mr. Matt O'Brien favored the audienoe with some of his most delightfnl special ties. The programme dosed with a chorus by the female members "Charity.” BESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. During the evening the following reso lutions were adopted by the Union : Whereas, Miss Annie Mays, a member of this organization is shortly to leave this city and resign her place among us, therefore; Resolved, That we, as members of the Columbus Choral Union and as personal friends and acquaintances to Miss Mays, do hereby express our regret at losing a valned member. Resolved, That we wish her all health and happiness wherever she may go, and that should it ever be our good fortuno to have her again reside in our midst, we will most heartily welcome her back to onr ranks.

Trial 50, large 1.50 Sold by all Druggists, i mh24 eodAwly HOW WR SPRND THE DAY. It may be interesting to some of the thousands who peruse this journal to know how a first olass daily paper is pre pared and presented to its many readers —bow the twenty-four hours of each day are disposed of. The working force of the Enquibeb-Sun consists of thirty-three men and boys, classed as editors, report ers, printers, book-keepers, devils, car riers, etc. Every hour of the day will find some portion of this force at work in our establishment. To tell how we spend the day, we must have a beginning, so we will start at six o'olock a. M , Monday, when our business office is opened. At that hour our busi ness man makes his appearance, has the office cleaned and prepared for the day's work. While so engaged he is often busy selling papers to some early birds, who are eager to get a glimpse at the best paper ever published in the town, and whioh is second to none in the State. The business offloe is kept open from six a. m. until dark, but up to two o'olock at night a rap on the front door will bring some one ready and willing to increase our subscription list or to take a new ad.” About 10 o'clock a. m., the printers and devils cominenoe straggling in and engage in distributing type Bnffioient to supply their cases. At 11 a. m. the Managing Editor takes his easy chair and prepare copy by a free use of bis shears and ponoil, shortening and condensing. At 12 m., our Forman makes his ap pearance, and by 2 p. m., has everything in readiness for the printers to draw for copy. The “shears copy" and all in baud is used until 8 o'olock p. m., when the telegrams are given out, and suob editorial msttor as haB been prepared, sent to the hook. The Reporter and Local Editor travels the town over during the day aDd gathers what news of interest he can. The Managing Editor takes tho papers ooming by eaoh mail and selects snoh items as are of interest, and sends to the hook, making the news matter as short and embracing as muoh as possible. At 1 o’clock p. m.‘, the form of one side of the paper is made up and turned over to tho pressman. The midnight dispatohes and Bpeoial telegrams and latest looal news is put in shape and sent in by the different editors. At 8 o'olook a. m. the Managing Edi tor begins to yawn and gives signs of ex haustion. He oarefully goes over the proof of the editorial matter and news, and excludes suoh as he thinks stale or of no interest, then informs the Foreman that he has nothing more to offer, and gathering up his boots, hat, coat, shirt collar, aud oravat, he marobes slowly to his bachelor apartments, and in three minutes and 80 seconds he is in bed and INFANTICIDE- THE DISCOVERT OF THE BODY. SATURDAY. WE PARTED BY THE RIVER SIDE, About 4 o'olook a. m the form for the remaining side of tho papor is complete and given to the pressman. The printers a short time previously have put ou their ooats and hats, gather up their little bundles and depart. Tho Foreman, after seeing the last hide of the paper well nnder weigh, wakes up tho mailiug clerks, then makes his way to his widow and orphans. The mailing clerks get to work prepar ing their mails. At o'olook a. m. the carriers appear. They engage themselves in folding the number of papers required for their route, and by 5$ o'olock they have all left the offloe and are delivering papers to our city subscribers. At G o'olook ▲. m. the business office is opeued and one day has gone by, to be repeated six times during the week. Thus is a first olass daily gotten up. We are truly workingmen ; yet there are thou sands of people ready and willing to an noy and plague us. If we make a mistake, hundreds are ready to take advantage of it, and endeavor to hound us down. Charity for a newspaper is unkuown. If our readers could see us as we are, they oertainly would not be so free to censure. We work and strive to give readers full value for their money, and feel confident wo do onr whole duty. Columbus has never had snoh a paper as the Enquirer Sun is at presout, and has been under its present management. No trouble nor expense is spared to secure the latest and most relia able news. Onr selections are made with great oare, aud nothing appears in cur columns that is not chaste and moral. We expose vice and applaud virtue. We have au opinion, and freely ptess ourselves regardless of the wishes or thoughts of others. Our motto is to si ways bo ou one side or the other of every thing that oomes up. We think this a truer and better plan than to “set on the fence'' holding ourselves ready to get on the side that pays best. Our reading matter, while choice in quality is nat meagre in quantity. Take our paper and lay it beside say other daily paper in the State of Georigia or Alabama and few of them will be found to contain as muoh matter. Put the reading matter and our price together and none will gainaay our assertion that the Enquirer. Sun is to-day the cheapest paper published in the South. We work to make our paper the best and to succeed. We are appreciated by a goodly subscription list and by a liberal advertising patronage, yet we are open to more appreciation. RIVER NEWS. The steamer Jordan* from Apalachicola arrived yesterday wilh 10 bales of cotton consigned as follows: Fontaine, 4; Ala bama, 2; Alston, 1; Watt A Walker, 2. She also brought abont 75 barrels of New York freight and 25 barrels from different points on the river. The passengers were: Cot. Phil Harris, J. Ooben, Miss Julia Sandford and H. T. Jackson, Chattahoochee; H. H. Hodges and T. B. Williams, Navy Yard; Mrs. Calloway and daughter, Mrs. Cottier, E. E. Pearree, J. A. Bowdon and Miss L. E Pearree, Gordon: J. O. Simpson, Fort Gaines; D. F. Scarborough, J. C. Porter and Miss D. F. Whitten, Florence; R. B. Hardy, Mr. Forgey, Mr. Tunstal! and Mr. Virnelson, Eufanla: Mist Mollie Smith, I ' Blnfftown. She will leave Ihie morning at 9 o'olook. Sunday night about 9r30 o'olook, after returning from the open-air meeting, we heard in the beck yard of Col. W, L. Salisbury, at wboee borne we reside, • cry which at first sounded like that made by a small goat. Such a creature is on the premises, bnt as the sound become more distinct, though upon close listen ing ws discovered thst it could not be the bleating of this animal, onr conolnaion was thst it was tbs voice of o ohild in suppressed or smothered tones- We be gan to make close search, and upon ap proaching the privy ws deteoted, with attentive ear, that the sound oome from the pit thereof end thot it certeinly was mode by on infant. Wo immediately in formed Ool. Salisbury of the circumstan ces, and we two went with a lantern and let it into the pit, wberein-the infant was seen lying upon its book. A oolored man was sent for, who descended the pit and brought ont the creature, whioh had not quite expired. ITS MOUTH WAS MUTTLID with an ordinary cotton towel. Dr. Stan ford was then Bent for, and on his arrival he ordered warm water with whioh to resuscitate the intent. The application was made bnt to no effect, as it died el' most by the time tbe water was nsed. He prononnoed it an eight months ohild whioh bad been born bat s very short time ea every indication showed. COBONBB B. O. LLOTD was sent for in the meantime, and the body of the infant was turned over to him, and he oarried it to the oity guard room where it was kept until yesterday morning for " AN INQUEST. The jury was summoned and the extmina tion began about ten o’olook. The wit nesses testified the above feots. THE CLUE OBTAINED. In addition to what has been men. tioned it waa shown by two witnesses that on tbe night on which the infant was dis covered suspicions traces were noticed on the clothes of ELIZA LEWIS, a colored woman in the employ of Col (Salisbury, and this led tbe jury to have brought before them said garments whioh npon examination told very saspi oious things. This woman was .oarried in the pres enoe oi the jnry, where she wee told by the Coroner that she had been snapeoted of the horrible crime, and that she could say anything she desired abont tbe mat ter, bat need not oriminete herself. She protested her innaoenoe, end professed an anxiety to have a thorough examina tion gone into, and toll where her dis robed garments could be fonnd. She doubtless was not aware throngh wbat a oritioal pass she was to go. DBS. TEBBT AND FLEWELLBN Investigated tbe woman’s person to the exolnsion of everybody and found that Hhe had given birth to an infant and that she had nsed sure and unheard-of, bnt dangerous means perhaps to avoid detec tion. THIS WAS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE for the jury end they gave tbe following verdict: Geoboia—Musoooeb County—An in quisition taken this the twentieth day of August, 1877, before S. O. Lloyd, Coro ner in and for said county, npon the view of tho body of a oolored ohild (malatto) then and there lying dead at the Court House in said county, npon the oaths of G. E. Andrews, forman, and others, whs teing duly sworn according to law as jurors; and farther, oharged by said S. O. Lloyd, Coroner, to inquire when end how, and after what manner the said oolored ohild, aforesaid, came to her death; now, we, the jnrors aforesaid, do npon our oaths, say that the said colored ohild late of said oonnty aforesaid, oame to her death at the hand of Eliza Lewis, mother of said ohild, by throwing it into a privy or sink ten feet (10) in depth on Mr. W. L. Salisbury’s lot and also by neglecting to tie the umbilical oord which caused a sufficient loss of blood to pro duce death. Iu witness whereof, we, the jnrors aforesaid, in presence of the Coroner aforesaid, have hereto set onr hands and seals the day and year aforesaid: S. O. Llotd, Coroner. Geo. E. Andbewb, Foreman, J. W. Howell, J. H. Conner, E. T. Long, Jas. E. Davis, J. B. Ivey, R. A. Wore, Jr., Louis WellB, W. R. Bedell, J. E. Booth, L. J. Harvey Ohas. J. Howell. This woman, Eliza LewiB, baa been in the employ of Col. Salisbury for ten years and was his most trusted servant. By her gentleness of manner and faithful ness as a servant she had endeared her self to the family of her employer, who were terribly shocked at the development made criminating her. The result of the inquiry waa that the Coroner secured a warrant for her arrest and bad her sent to jail to await the so tion of the grand jury.

BAT OATOHINO A FAILURE AT THE MABKET HOUSE AND WHAT WAS SAID FOB 0OMFOBT. It was an exciting day to as, we were more stirred np than we have been “lo these many days.” The weather was pleasant and we conld move abont with out being annoyed by an overabundant emission throngh the ezoretories of onr hide. Onr first effort was to the wharf to bid a sad farewell to a warehouse friend who had been foroed by his wicked partners to undertake a commer cial tour to tbe land of flowers, aliga- tors and chills. We aided in getting bis Rosenante on board the steamer Wylly Scarcely had the feat been accomplished when the shrill whistle of the steamer let itself loose, whioh frightened the poor an. imal ont of its wits and caused it, in its efforts to get ont of danger, to get astride a hogshead of bacon. With the assistance of the crew and half dozen lookers on, the animal was soon brought into shape and found nnhnrt. We bid onr friend a sad farewell and sympathized with him as beat we knew how, and promised to remember him kindly to inquiring friends, and if he shonld be gobbled np by an “amphibions 1 aligator we wonld colleot his life insar anco for a small commission and see to it that his wicked partners go down to their graves sorrowing. “Let her go' from the Oaptain caused ns to step ashore, and we moved slowly and sorrowing homeward. We were soon interrupted by a stento. rian voioe hailing the steamer, which by this time was in tbe middle of tbe stream, The oanse of the commotion was that one of oar grooory merohsnts had shipped a horse to Neal's Landing, and had forgot ten to provide the animal rations for the trip, and desired the boat to round to and wait nntil he conld go up town and get a conpte of bandies of fodder and a peck of oorh. Our friend, with the wioked partners, took in the sitnation, and os the Captain would not heed the merohant' request, he shouted as loud as bis weak and saddened voioe wonld permit, that he had forage for his own horse and wonld divide the last blade of fodder and the lest grain of corn with the merchant’s aDimal. The merohant waa not happy. He said he preferred a division of forage before the last blade of fodder and grain of corn was reaohed. We assured him our friend wsa a kind and charitable man, when away from his wicked partners, and he need have no fear for his horse’s well being. We again started homeward, meditating on the immutability of the hard timeB and the upward mutabilty in the prioes of wa termelons when we were disturbed by the ary of “kill him 1 catch him!" We tamed, expeoting to sec something dretdfal, bat were gratified to disoover some twenty men and boys hallowing and ohasing a huge rat that bad attempted to cross the street. The chase was soon stopped by the rat running into a small wood sewer. John Wells, the ool ored blaoksmitb, was in the lead of the chase, and when he fonnd his game gone he gathered a pole and ran it into the sewer. Suddenly he palled out his arm to find that he bed missed the rat, bnt tbe rat had not missed him, bnt had bitten his hand and arm severely. Longer poles were seonred by the anxious pursuers and the rat was foreed to come ont. Twenty pairs of brogans essayed to orush the life ont of the varment, bnt he evaded them all and hastily entered the store house of A. L. Harrison and disappeared among the barrels. Disappointed in not seeing the rat fall a victim to the fury of tbe enraged owners of tbe brogans, we left tbe spot and was Boon at onr market negotiating for onr Sunday melons and peaohes. We fonnd plenty of fine melons, peaohes, grapes and vegetables offering, but at higher figures than a week ago. The meat mar ket was bountifully Bnpplied with good beef, mutton and pork. “There's a load of Albany beef,” said our old friend Johu S. “Where ?” said wo. He pointed lo a wagon loaded with sturgeon, which had been cleaned and dressed ready for sale. We were tired and worn ont and jnst going to rest ourselves npon the connter of a vaoant stall, when we heard the musi cal voioe of tbe Clerk of the Market say, “Call a policeman and make him bring yon a chair. It's against the rales to ait np there." These remarks were not for ns, bnt for an old darkey who had oomfortably seated himself on one of the vaoant oonntere and waa entertaining a lot of friends with some ohoioe tale. We felt the foroe of tbe few words, and oonclnded we wonld rather stand, but standing soon became monotonous, and we sauntered ont of the market and were soon in onr easy ohair. The American People.

It appears that after the demonstration last night they had a meet ing and resolved not to wait upon the battalion of soldiers in the dining room. They became antagonized with the soldiers from the very beginning, and seemed de termined to carry their feeling to the extremes of violence if neoessary. When the ball had oommenoed and all the as sembled guests were intent upon the festivities of the oooasion, a riot was averted by the aoolness and self^possession and de - termination of Lieut. Aleok Tomlinson, of Oompany G, First Virginia regiment. This was the crisis of the affair. An in famous threat had been applied by a por tion of tbe negro mob to one of the sol diers, who at once rushed toward them to resent the insult. Before he reached them, and while they were standing ready to reoeive him, Lieut. Tomlinson jumped in front and, by main foroe, as well as exerciping bis military authority, foroed the soldier back, while the negro mob continued to hurl defiant yells at him. Had the soldier ever reaohed them a riot wonld have been precipitated, in whioh the ontire battalion and negroes would have become involved. Happily, it was averted by this gallant officer; but to this moment the immense oompany at the Springs are in blissful ignoranoe of the imminent danger of that moment. This morning the waiters were surly and insubordinate, and expressed their unwillingness to wait upon the soldiers. The managers coaxed and threatened them alternately, but to no purpose, and it was not until Walker Lewis, a oolored head waiter, appealed to them that they beoame orderly and began their work of the day, whioh opened with serv ing the breakfast of the military. A number of (hem positively refused to wait upon the soldiers, alleging that they had personal grievances which would not permit them. These were excused. Iu no instance have they evinoed any feeling toward the guests or the proprie tors. As the military euoampment will be broken up on Saturday, all apprehen sions of a strike have ceased.
