RESIDENT DENTIST,
R ES I* El TFULLY informs his friemls, and
the public ffonornllv, that he continues
the practice of DENTlS’f'R Tin all its branch
es, and has fitted up an office, over the store
of M**Guire it Pinson, where ho is prepared
to execute all operations appertaining to Den
tistry, in the most approved manner.
He would also call the particular attention
of those in want of Artificial Work, to hi* su
perior style of teeth, set on gold plate : for
beauty, strength and life-like nppeaennee.
they are not surpassed. As an impression lias
been made that, my prices for dental opera
tions are higher than the usual run of Den
tists, I beg leave to say that they an: the same
as charged by Dentists at Augusta, Mncon
and Savannan. For Artificial Work my char
ges are as follows:
Entire Rets Upper and Lower from$l 00 to $231
Half Sets, Upper or Lower, from 30 to 130
Temporary S ts. Upper and Lower, 23 each.
Partial Sets in proportion to the above.
As I am well posted in all the late improve
ments of the day. T feel confident that I can
meet the want* of al’ who may need the ser
vices of a Dentist, and if reforone-sare want

from tliose who have tested my skill, for the

febll. TCRNLEY. No. 3 Cboie. House
From the Augusta Daily Republic.
The facts in Re.ation to Taking the
United Stales Arsenal near Angusta,
Georgia.
1 here has long hcen a great excite
ment existing in the public mind in re
lation to the occupation of the Arsenal
near this city bv Federal troops. That
excitement, which was almost uncon
trollable prior to the secession of Geor
gia, was, of course, increased as the
Stars and .Stripes continued to flout af
ter she had declared her independence,
and becume the all absorbing theme
upon the arrival of His Excellency,
Gov. Joseph E. Brown, on Tuesday,
the 22tid inst.
It was owing to the state of the pub
lic mind that his Excellency came, and
in order that the fonrtnl demand, by
the highest authority in the State,
might prevent loss of life on either
side.
We are authorized to state that the
demand of the Arsenal, together with
the order for the city troops to appear
at their drill rooms under arms, was
not, either in fact or intention, a man
ifestation of hostility towards the Gov
ernment of the United States, but. sim
ply carrying out the plainest duty of
the Governor of this State in the preven
tion of a foreign power from the occupa
tion ofa military position within horbor-
d is. T1 e three p tints mad* in the first
communication, which we g.vo here in
full,are simply : first: The courteous hut
firm demand that the United States
troops retire from the State. Second:
l’he pledge of Georgia to receipt and
account lor the arms to the Federal
Government, the receipt to be given to
the officer late in command, the settle
ment to he made diplomatically, with
the Federal Government ut some futuro
day. Third: That the retaining of
troops after remonstrance, would be
judged by the established usage of na
tions, an act of hostility.
[copy . ]
Augusta, Ga., Jan. 23, 1801.
Cupt. Arnoi.d Ei.zev, U. S. A.:
Commanding Avgusta Arietta/:
Sir: I am instructed by His Excellen
cy, Gov. Brown, to say to you that Geor
gia having seceded from the United
State of America, and resumed exclu
sive sovereignty over her soil, it has be
come my duty to reijuire you to with
draw the troops under your command,
at the earliest practicable moment,
from the limits of the State.
He proposes to take possession of the
Arsenal, and to receipt for all public
property under your charge, which will
hereafter ho accounted for, on adjust
ment between the State of Georgia
und the United States ot America.
He hogs to refer you to the fact that
the retention of foreign troops upon
the soil of Georgia, after remonstrance,
is, under the laws of nations, an act of
hostility ; and ho claims that the State
is not only at peace but anxious to cul
tivate the most amicable relations with
the United States government.
I am further instructed to say that an
answer will be expected by to morrow
morning at nine o’clock. 1 am, sir,
very respcstfully your obedient servant,
Henry R. Jackson,
Aid-de-Cump, ect.
The above demand was sent up on
the morning of which it bears date at
an early hour, by the aid whose name
appears to it—he being attended by two
other member; of the Executive Staff.
There was seine preliminary and some
subsequent conversation, but the result
of the conference was a refusal to give
up the Arsenal and stores.
In the mean time, the companies of
the Augusta Volunteer Battalion, the
companies of minute Hen, A and E,
were ordered to meet at their drill room
at an early hour. The Militia in some
of the districts were ordered to arm ;
and all wore ordered to assemble in
front of the City Hotel, at 9 o’clock.
wp) ] A. M„ of the 23d inst. Such a turn out
of citizen soldiery was never witnessed
in this city before; for it is usual for
the men to have other engagements,
wiiich they prefer to a mere street pa
rade ; but the ranks of all the compa
nies were full, and scores of citizens
were doing all in their power to borrow
uniforms and guns. From every part
of the country around, the troops came
in as they heard the news ot the proba
ble battle. The total number under
arms and in line, were not less than sev
en or eight hundred, while, with the
armed citizens, the number was not less
than a thousand.
The whole force was under the im
mediate command of Lieutenant Colo
nel Gumming of the Volunteer Battal
ion. Brigadier General Harris directed
the"movements of the troops, and, the
Uov ernor, as G'ommander-in-Chief held
his head-quarters at the 1’lantei’s Ho
tel. Brigadier General Williams, of
Muscogee, was in the city, and although
a senior officer, still being out of his
own Brigade, only ms.Btedby his advice.
Hon. Hetny R. Jackson, of Savannah,
and Col. Phillips, of Fulton, were
here, as members of the Governor’s
Staff'.
After consultation, the Governor did
not deem it advisable to attack the place
on the same day the demand was made,
but ordered the troops dismissed until
yesterday, the 24th inst., at nine o’oloek
at which time they were ordered to ren
dezvous as appointed to Battalion order
No. 1.
It is supposed that the officer in com
mand ot the Arsenal, sent by telegraph
to Secretary Holt, at Washington, lor
instructions, but the foundation of the
supposition is his subsequent action.—
Yesterday morning the otdersto march
had just beenUgiven, when a messege
was received from Capt. Elzey, requests
sage was brought by a lieutenant, and
owing to the recent illness of Capt. El-
sey, as well as the manifest impropriety
of his leaving his post at such a time,
the point of. etiquette was waived,
and the Governor acceded to the re
quest, of which the following is a
copy t
HeauQuarters, Augusts Arsenal,)
Georgia, Jan. 24,1961. j
Sir : I have the honor to inform you
that 1 am directed by Captain Klzey,
commanding this post, to say, in reply
to the demand of theGovernor of Geor
gia made through you yesterday, requir
ing him to withdraw hu command be
yond the limits of the State: he begs to
request an interview with his Excellen
cy, the Governor, for tlio purpose of ne
gotiating honorable terms of surrender
at as early an hour this morning as
possible.
1 have the honor to be, very respect
fully, Your obedient servant,
J. C. Jones,
Lieut. 2d Artillery, Adjutant.
To Col. U. U. Jackson, Aid-de-Camp.
It may be imagined that the request
ed interview was generally agreeable to
us, for notwithstanding the vastly supe
rior force opposed to the seventy cr
eighty Federal troops, the impossibility
ol reinforcements owing to the great
distance from the seaboard—the cer
tainty of being starved out, even if suc
cessful of resistance—the hopelessness
of holding a place, the walls of which
could l>e breached by our artilleiy in
ten n.in ites, or escu'a ,ed iu bait the time
—still the known hostility of Secretary
Holt to the South, the desperate deten
tion of Fort Sumter, and the well
known bravery and determination of
Cupt. Elzey, made it not unlikely that
he would conclude to hold the place or
perish, and the prospect for a few of us
to get shot was, for u while, quito lively.
At ten o’clock IIis Excellency, with
Gens. Williams and Harris, and the
following Aids-de-Camps, Col. Henry
it. Jackson, of Savannah, Col. Wra.
Phillips, of Fulton, and Lieut. Colo
nels M. C. Fulton, of Columbia, C. V.
Walker, and Henry Cleveland, of Au
gusta, rode up to the arsenal, and were
politely recoived by the Captain and
his officers. After some preliminary
conversation, the following agreement,
in substance, was signed in duplicate,
by the Governor and Capt. Elzey :
terms of retirkuent.
First, The United States flag to be
saluted and lowered by the company
late in occupation.
Second, t he company td march out
with military honors.
Third, A receipt to he given for the
public property, with a view to its be
ing accounted tor hereafter on adjust
ment between the .State of Georgia
and the United States of America.
Fourth, The compiny to retain its
arms and company property, to be al
lowed quarters and the use of the or
dinary transportation wugon until the
withdrawal from this State, and their
unobstructed egress by the wry of Sa
vannah to the sea.
The company of United States troops
retain all personal effects and their
proper arms, have time to make ar
rangements to leave, have safe conduct
from the pluco, via railway, to Savan
nah, and tzeuce by sea to New York,
or any other destination ; the Captain
Likes the receipt of Gen. Karris for all
stores on hand, to be accounted for to
the United States, at any future settle
ment, and the right was reserved to
sulu.o the Federal colors.
On the part of Georgia, the only ob
ject was secured by the possession of a
fine battery of two twelve pound howit
zers, and two cannon, and some twenty-
two thousand muskets and rifles, many
of them of the best kind. There are
also large stores of powder, cannon
balls, grape, etc.
The terms aro considered perfectly
honorable to the brave officers in com
mand, and we hope are satisfactorily to
them.
We have met them as friends in oth
er times, partaken of their hospitality,
and rejoice in the adjustment. After
the arrangements were completed, Col.
Wm. Henry Walker, late of the U. 8.
A., crossed the room, and taking the
hand of Captain Elzey, stated that, as
an old brother an arms, and lately an
officer in the same army, he felt it his
duty to state that the honor of the
officer he held by the hand was in no
