Augusta, Feb. 12ih.
It is at this season of the year that the
foiliitry editor, throwing aside his well worn
,]iiiil, and discarding his inky bandana, rubs
LACONICS.
Past week very “ springy.”
Judge Rice “frescoing” the evil doers.
We took their photograph’s whilst they
were seated on the verandah, how happy
and how handsome they looked.
Died, of paralysis of the brain, caused by

his eves and begins to reflect that perhaps
the merchants of the “ great cities” would be
highly benefited by an exposition of the
excellencies and advantages of his lively
weekly. He accordingly gathers himself up,
•• washes his face, dyes his moustache” and
liegitis his journalistic jaunt in style. Join
ing the throng of this worthy clan, your cor
respondent found himself ou his way to Au-
gusta. not however without being attended
nnd surrounded by other responsibilities and
pleasures than those of an editorial nature.
At Crawford we visited, for the first
time, the office of that spicy sheet, the
Oglethorpe Echo. Here we found our
friend Gantt busily engaged in making up
liis paper nn«l we were lo the to disturb him
in his work. He is certainly a hardwork
ing deserving young fellow and his labors
are each week crowned by the production
of a lively paper.
Our delay at Union Point, was certainly
<|uitc a long one, but as a delightful travel
ing companion rendered this detention
ve y agreeable after all, we shall make no
complaint, save to throw out the sug
gestion, that a peanut fount or a billiard ta
ble would pay well at this place. We hope
that the lion. Mr. Peagrccn will have such
an enterprise incorporated. lie could
count upon the patronage of itinerant news
paper men.
The Planter’s Hotel was our stopping
place in Augusta. This excellent house
which for some time past has been closed,
was reopened by Mr. B. P. Chatfield, on
the 25th of November last. It has been
remodelled from office to parlor, from kitch
en to dining room. Rooms have been re
moved so as to admit light and thereby
avoid all dark or uncomfortable apartments,
cozy chambers have been substituted for
lo:i g bare halls, floors are bright with bciu-
tiiiil carpets and w lls arc tinted with
charming colors. Everything has au air of
lM.uness and cleanliness which we have nev
er seen equaled in any public or private
lions-*, and one feels at home upon entering
ihe hotel, so attentive are the waiters, so
pohle and courteous the su|>erintcndcnl8.
With Mr. B. F. Brown we were particular
ly pleased, and can truly say that no clever
er man or liner gentleman can anywhere be
found. The “Planters” is what Augusta
lias long needed, viz: a first class hotel.
Augusta is remarkably dull at present,
business of nearly every kind is at a stand
still and marolun.s seem more anxious to
get in their money from the country than
to encourage trade. The spring trade of
dry goods will soon revive and a concomi
tant improvement in other branches may
he looked for. Many new buildings have
been erected during the last year indeed her
improvements though quiet are markei,
and her progress though slow is decided.
Augusta is unquestionably a solid city.
That's what Geo. II. Pendleton says, and
he is correct.
A large and well stocked music house is
an enterprise which is now under full head
way in that place. It is owned by G O.
Robinson <b Co., and is complete in all re
spects. Every variety of musical instru
ments can here be procured at New York
prices, and all standard music is kept in
lull supply. Mr. Robinson’s success is
evident, from the number of pianos and
other instruments which he sells weekly,
and his orders for music arc abundant from
every portion of the State. Ho is a firm be
liever in printers’ ink, a fine musician and
a square and upright business man.
In our advertising columns this morning,
will be found the pronunciameuta of that
popular fertilizer, the “Patapsco,” which has
[“viinedsuch a wide and favorable reputation
in Georgia and South Carolina This com
pany have erected spacious warehouses in
Augusta wVore will be kept large quantaties
nf this guano a*d “Grange Mixture.” Gen.
•Stovall of the latter city is resident manager,
and under his able supervision the company
are prospering in our ritatc.
Mr. August Dorr, merchant tailor, is well
and favorably known throughout the State
and in his dealings will give satisfaction in
every particular.
We had the honor of meeting Col. Jas. R.
Randall, rf the Constitutionalist, one of the
mo?t accomplished editors in the United
•States. We were pleased to learn from a
gentleman ot the place, that this elegant
journal is now in a flourishing condition and
prospering finely under its present manage
ment. Mr. Gregg Wright of that staid old
paper, the Chronicle was busily engaged upon
that “Executive Committee.” He is firing
away with perseverance and energy, and is
■still pouring hot shot into their ranks. Mr.
Wright is a very young man, but a vigorous
writer. Ed. Snelfon and Mont. Sale, smile
upon their friends from Richards dry goods
store. A centennial leap year party at pres
ent engrosses the attention of the good peo
ple of Augusta, married men seeming to be
extremely fortunate in securing escorts.
An entertainment given by the U. 8. Navy
officers at Port Royal, on board of one of the
vessels was said to have been a most enjoya
ble affair. The brave and fair of the blue
and the grey, mingled in n delightful con--
vivium, flowing punch and flying feet mark
ed the festive scene. Some ronmmasand
papas, however, have since doubted the
propriety of such a show of amnesty from
Augusta’s fair beauties to strangers and for
mer foes. But then you know there’s no
great harm done after all. Athens belles
are the admired of all admirers in Society
cncles. The good people down here, say
oniith, will be our next Governor. Colquitt

met at ten o’clock this morning. President
Colquitt presiding. About one hundred
delegates were present. The Convention
was opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Atkin

half of the citizens of Brunswick, in a few
brief and appropriate sentences welcomed
the officers and delegates of the Society, and
extended to them the hospitalities of the city.
General Browne responded to the speech of
welcome in one of his happiest nnd most
graceful efforts. General Colqnilt then
arose and delivered an able, earnest and
eloquent address to the Convention, in which
he made many excellent suggestions, which,
if heeded by Georgians, would do much
towards restoring our glorious old common
wealth to her former grand position oi
prosperity and happiness. His speech was
frequently applauded, and is spoken of by
all in the highest terms. The Convention
then proceeded to business, and amon? the
first acts of importance was the unanimous
passage of a resolution praying the Legisla
ture to enact a dog law. About one hun*

Summary of Or. Pendleton’s Address.
We have brought to your consideration a
number of important propositions, some of
them satisfactorily demonstrated, and a num
ber of them only partially so. We have at
least succeeded in convincing ourselves that
we may cheapen the production of cotton by
cheapening the production of mule feed;
that more nutriment can be raised with less
labor in oats and fodder corn, than in corn
and fodder; that the oat forms a better ro
tation for cotton than the Indian corn, and
that it husbands nitrogen, while the culture
of both corn and cotton destroys it; that
more land may be brought up remunerative
ly Jo double its production the first year, and
considerably above it by the third Tear; that
land thus doubled in its productive caj
will enable us to complete successfully
the West as to labor; that a man cult!
