We acknowledge the recoipt of a
catalogue of this honored Institution of
learning, and are pleased to note its
prosperty at its present locality. From
the catalogue (which includes Mercer
High School at Penfield and Crawford
High School at Dalton) we learn that
there are 150 students in attendance
upon the various departments of -the
University proper, and 244 at the High
Schools. These facts speak well for
the Baptist of Georgia. We congratu
late them upon the success of their ed

Messrs. Moore & Go.,
Hardware merchants of Augusta,
have recently moved from their old

building on Broad street, near the
Bank of Augusta- Whije in the city,
a few weeks ago, we were shown
through their fine establishment, and
were astonished to find it so extensive.
They keep everything in the hardware
line aud their goods are of the very
best make aDd quality. They arc too
well known for their honesty and fair
dealing to render a commendation at
our bands necessary. We call the

A Scare.
On last Monday it was noised around
that one of our citizens bad received a
letter from Maxey’s station, on the
Athens Branch of the Georgia Rail
road, informing him that a number of
negroes had left that vicinity in the
early morning for Greenesboro’, and
enquiring if our people -were apprehen
sive of trouble with the negroes. Of
course, in the excited state of the coun
try, the intelligence created a consider
able stir in our city. Upon investigat
ing the matter, we found that the ne
groes to whom the writer referred com
posed a deputaticn, that had been sent
by the colored Baptist church at that
place, to inquire into certain reports
touching the conduct of their pastor,
who indulged too freely in liquor aDd
became intoxicated during his attend
ance upon the session of the association
which convened at this place some
weeks ago.
