AUGUSTA, GEORGIA.
SATURDAY MORNING, NOV'R 11.
The Weather, &.c.
We had yesterday morning a slight fall of rain,
aud during the day it was warm and cloudy, the
thermometer at 2 P. M. marking 66.
Absentees are daily returning to the city, and
all is hustle. Nearly all of onr stores are open,
and our merchants are busy unpacking goods
and cleaning up. By Monday morning our city
will present its usual aspect of activity, and bu
siness wiH, generally, be resumed.
Among the absentees who have reached the
city we had the pleasure, yesterday, of taking
by the hand the editor of this paper.
His numerous friends will be gratified to know
that he is in the enjoyment ot good health, al
though still suffeiing from a sprained ancle. —
He will enter on bis duties to-morrow, and, after
Monday, we hope the Constitutionalist and
Republic will prove more interesting to readers,
than it has been for the past two months.
Death of Mrs. Hamilton.
We regret to perceive, says the Charleston
Courier, from a telegraphic dispatch, that Mrs-
Hamilton, the venerable widow of the illustrious
Gen. Hamilton, Secretary of the Treasury under
the Administration of President Washington,
died at her residence on New York Avenue, in
Washington, yesterday, at the advanced age of
ninety.-sixty years. Dr. Hall was her attending
physician, and her affectionate daughter-—Mrs
Holley—was unremitting in her efforts to soothe
and comfort her beloved parent. Two sons of
Mrs. Harniiton—James A. and John C. Hamil
ton, Esq-., ot New York—were also present.—
The distinguished lady was the daughter of Gen.
Schuyler of revolutionary fame.
Charge of Attempt to Kill—The Accus
ed in Jail. —The Savannah News of the 9th
says: Not a little interest was excited yesterday
morning in this community, by the announce
ment of the return of Dr. R. A. J. Repiton in
the custody ot 2J Lieut. Wylly, ot the Mounted
Police, under a charge ot having conspired with
Mrs. Mary (P. D.) Hilzheim to compass the
death of her husband, Mr. P. D. Hilzheim, a
clothing merchant, of this city. We have* not
learned any ot the particulars of the assault or
whether such was made, and only know, from
reliable sources, that on Monday last, Mr. H. ap
peared before Justice Raiford, and swore to the
charge. A warrant was immediately placed in
the hands of the City Constable Galloway for
the arrest of Mrs. H. That officer proceeding
to its execution, found Mrs. H. at her store, in
the act of packing her goods, with, as she told
him, the intent of leaving the city the next
evening. Meanwhile another warrant was is
sued lor the arrest of Dr. Repiton, and placed
for service in the hands of Lieut. Wylly who
proceeded to Macon by the night train, and ar
rested the Dr. in that city by nine o’clock, A.
M. Tuesday. And returned with him to this
city yesterday morning. Bath the accused are
now in jail waiting fuither examination.
Os the merits ol the case we know nothing.
We may say, boii’vm, oi~Hr R
been actively engaged as a member ot the
Young Men’s Benevolent Association of Savan
nah during the ejademic here. As an investi
gation of the affair may not he had for a few
days, we bespeak for the accused, a suspension
of opinion until a judical examination can be j
obtained.
Coanterfeit Quarter Eagles, which almost de
fy detection are in circulation in New York.—
They are said to be made from a.genuine New
Orleans Mint die, stolen some years since and
bears the “O” under the talons of the eagle.—
Professor Torry, Assayer at New York, has an
alyzed the coin and find that it is made of a cast
ing of pure gold, filled with silver and probably
ptatina, to increase the weight. The weight is
60 5-10 grains*which is only 4 grains light, and
the casting of gold weighs 30 1-10 grains. It is
therefore worth §1.17 in gold and 8 cents in sil
ver, or $1.25 in raw material, beside the labor of
making. The maker and the vender could not,
therefore, realize' msre than $1 each which would
seem to be a small profit, except that the coun
terfeit is so well done that there is but litile
risk or detection.
New Biunswick papers received at Boston on

To Prepare Starch for Shirt Bosoms.—
Take two ounces best pulverised gum Arabic;
put it in a pitcher, or other convenient vessel,
pour on it one pint boiling water, cover it, and
let it remain twelve hour!, then pour it carefully
from the dregs into a bottle, cork, and keep for
use. A table spoonful put into a pint of common
starch prepared as usual. This will give the polish
we see on the bosoms of shirts &c., when new,

Some dark corner land brought nearly 10 dollars
per acre. A lot in the town of Hamburg (the
Spout spring lot,) containing within ismall trac
tion of twenty acres, went lor $1450. Mr. C.
Harmond was the purchaser. The well known
and very valuable situat.en on Saluda, known as
“Mt. Willing,” was purchased by Messrs. Ar
thur and Louis Youngblood. We observe that
Dr. R. G. Mays, of Florida bought a thousand
acres or so in the same vicinity—hope it is an
indication of some disposition an the Dr.’s part
to get back home again.— Edgefield Advertiser , 9.
Fine Cotton Picking. —Mr. H. B. Gallman,
manager for Col. F. W. Pickens, on his lower
Saluda plantation, sends us the following state
ment ot cotton-picking among his hands on the
26th, ult. We must add, what Mr. G.’s modes
ty forbade his saying, that it is very hard to beat
for this country.
“Twelve hands,” says he, “picked out four
thousand and thirty-two pounds, making an av
erage of 336 pounds to the hand. The whole
number ot hands in ths field on the same day
was 36, and the total weight of cotton gathered
was 7513 pounds. They all began after sun rise
and stopped picking at sunset. Cotton dry and
day hot.” .
Had the Col.’s whole force picked on that day
in proportion to the above, he would have had
near forty bales gathered, at one sweep as it
were.— lb.
Prospects of Gold. —Several good prospects
of a golden harvest are lising up before the en
raptured vision of certain citizens of our district.
We have seen specimens from a mine, ol Mr.
Musco Samuel, and-also from one worked by
Mr. John Lyon and others of our town. The
pure stuff shines out palpably enough in both ca
ses; and all interested are filled with hopes of
brilliant gains. May none be disappointed !
“Our Galls ” —We have a good many big,
fat, fine-looking girls in Edgefield, and no unpie
judiced person vfcill deny the fact. But we know
of one not eight miles from our town who “fakes
the rag off the bush,” lor size, so completely, that
the rest of our pretty ones must all slug low for
the future. She is only 14 years old, and is 6
feet high nearly and wears No. 13 shoes. We
are permitted to make this statement by those
who have the best right to grant that permission.
Talk no more of woman's degeneracy while we
can raise such Amazons in old Edgefield.— lb.
Frost, or no frost, the air ol business which
pervaded our streets on Friday and Saturday
last, from Lawrence Street to the steamboat
wharves, indicated very plainly that the scramble
for dollars had commenced, and that the panic
caused by a dread of the satfron-hued giant was
at an end. All was bustle and activity —cotton
and other articles of commerce came in freely—
the steamer Ariel was at our wharves on Fri
day, and the Jenny Bealle on Saturday, dispen
sing “goods, wares and merchandise” to smiling
consignees—draymen wheeled said goods, wares
and merchandise off to various store houses,
whence they will soon diverge in divers direc
tions an<| be lost to our view. In short, the tide
oi Business has set in with a velocity of vising
J vim «hat would do honor to all who may have

. yet; we may not have one before Christmas.—

A “Com Cracker” at the Opera.
Mr Editors—According to your invitation I
begin to give my thoughts to the opera perform
ances, which Master Field is showing up at the
V arietiestheatre, fora few nights only. I never
seed an opera before Monday night last, and in
course everything about it was most attractable
to my eyes. You may know when I came to
the city some weeks ago, you tolthme that Mister
r ield was going to bring Max Ma-root-suck, or
Make-a-rat-sick, on Jo St. Louis about the Ist of
October; and so I laid off, and thought I would
not come over until Max arrived. But then I
heard agin that Mix fizzled out, and Mr. Field
was in a bad way; and I was thinking that
maybe I couldn’t git to the opera at all. How
somever, I peeped into your paper one day, and
the first thing I seed was that Mr. Field hid
begged another opera, and that it would begin
to show on the night of the 16th instant. So I
tolu brother Jabe to tend to stock, and watch out
tor rain so thathe could go to. plowi'n for
wheat, while I’d go over to Saint Louis and see
the opera a bit. I arrived in town on Saturday
night, as you know, and put up at Barnutn’s a
fust rate tavern, by the way, exceptin they make
a leller walk up so high to lay down in his bed.
Well Monday night come; Ido suppose if I
done it once I done it fifty times—that is, read
the big opera bills on the corners and sides of the
walls, and by the time night had come, I
knowed all the singers’ names. There was a
singer Giab-and-toe, and singer Low-in-eye,
who the bills said was prime on the Ass-o-lute—
a new kind of instrument, I suppose. And then
there was singei Ross-in-your-eye, and singer
Cut-yoir-gye, and singer Brat-in-your-eye, and
Rock-you-oh! and Pick-you-oh ! and Boss-you
oh ! and so forth, and so forth, but I can’t think
of half of ’em.
A dollar I thought, was a big price, but I had
been layin up for a good while, and felt a little
flush, and so I planked right down at the door
keeper. In I walked. I had been to the Va
rieties when I was at the city before, to see the
theatre perform, and in course, the place wasn’t
strange to me. 1 got in pretty late, and most of
the men and women had all filled up the boxes.
I couldn’t see any vacant seats excepting
those in the boxes fastened up by
little pine bars across’em, and so I just walked
around the row of seats as bigas any of’em.
But 1 mus nt stop to tell of these things any
longer. 1 want to write how the opera per
formed. The first motion I seed in the neighbor
hood of the stage was a whole lot of fellers com
ing up out of the orchesTWs hole, with fiddles
and bows. I had heard ’em before, so I know’d
that it wouldn't be long before something else
come.
The feller that sits on the high chaii* com
menced a sawin’ up and down, just as I had seen
before, and the music begun. They played a
little while, and up rolled the curtain, aud in
coTr.e what the bills called the chorus—a lot of
men with feathers and caps, striped linsey coats
and nothing oti their legs. They sung very
well as 1 thought, and 1 guess all the people
thought so too; for all ot them commenced nod
din’ their heads to one another just as I have
seen old fellows at Methodist meetings nod
and bow to one another when the preacher
give it to the devil and talked of glory. Well,
the feller without breeches soon went off the
stage, and here come a great big feller, dressed a
little better than the choius men, and he begun
to sing also. Heavens! what a voice he had.—
It was just like our presidin’elder’s, and he is
J&lr ***.''"•* rrrptmfe mg opeia teller com
menced a singing too, and one of the chorus fel
lers sung back at him, and nobody to line tor ’em
either; and then, every now and then, the big
opera would come steppin’ up to the gas lights,
and hold his hands over the fiddler in a high chair
and sing away without any particular metre,
going last and slow, high and low, just as it suit
ed him, until .1 swear 1 begun to feel bad tor
him, but when he got done and turned his big,
broad back to the people, they all commenced
clappin’ like thunder. Wasn’t it strange?—
Where’s the opera? says I to myself. Why
don’t he come out and go through the regular
theatrical motions and quit singing? They
kept on singing though, and the people seemed
to take it all easy; and so, thinks I, I’ll not both
er myselt about it, either. I always liked good
singing, such as Hail Co *mbia tunes, and Away
Down on the Sawnee River, and Jerusalem’s
rny Happy Home, but I’ll be dad if I could sto
mach such hop-step-and jump singing as the
big feller done, anyhow ;. I couldn’t hear a word
he sung nuther. He just kept sayin over and
over, ah ! oh ! uh ! i-i-, ker-r-r-r-r, and sich like ;
but all the ladies laughed and looked at each
other, and they stuck their goggles out at the
teller, and looked right at his legs—which
wasn’t much, either, for I’ve got bigger ones
myself, and better shaped, too, excepting they
are a little knock kneed, and then looked around
to the gentlemen siltin’ along with them and
smiled, and said, “beautiful —delicious!” Well
under the circumstances, I had to believe the
feller was seme myself.
Well, the curtain went down after a bit, and
then it was jerked up*again, and here comes out
two who, a teller by my side said was the
pnmy donny’s. I looked at my programme and
saw that they was the ones that was to play on
the Ass-o-lutes, but they had nothing in their
hands, and as soon as the music commenced they
commenced singing too. Ihe one that sung the
most I liked the best; she had such hearty look
about her; but thenjshe played the fool so, caper
ing aiound the stage—Equaling like a wild mare
on°the prairies—grabbin at the air with her
hands, ketching the other woman, who didn’t
seem to have many verses to sing, by the amis
and jerkin her about. I laughed lit to kill at her.
She had on one of “those peesy dresses too, that
slipped down over her shoulders, and seemed to
feel awful bad about it at times, for when she
stood over the gas lights, every once in a while
* she would put her hands up over her bosom and
„ive her body a wriggle and twist to get the
dress up again, and then lindin.it wouldn’t come,
ghe would give an awful screech and run away
up the stage, just as if she was tearing mad, and
then all the people clappeWit her for doing so;
and then she’d come back and do the same thing
over again. Wasn’t it strange? I kinder liked
the woman for her spunk, and my blood fairly
biled as I was coming out of the theatre and
heard one of the ladies who wasn’t half as pret
ty as the prima donny, say that “she looked just
like a chambermaid, and had no look of soul or
intellect about her at all.” Now, as (ur as I
could see, she had a big place for a soul, anyhow,
and as fur as intellect is concerned she must have
been smart, for I saw a good many St. Louis
l lawyers listening to her, and they couldn’t take
’ their eyes away from her. Weli, she sung along.
- gittin a leetle higher than the big feller did, but
l not quite so low, until a good many other opera
r fellers came on the stage.
One of ’em I liked mighty well. They call
him Singer Benny Ventano. If he only behav
ed himself, and just give us one or two good
speeches, or a little Shakspeare, and then instead
of throwin’ his sword down on the floor, ii he
had only stuck it through the pesky big feller
with his pipestem legs, I’d like him ten times
better. But he kept a singing-too, and I could at
understand a single line or verse.. He had
almighty sweet voice though. It made me trunk,
sometimes, of the night when my good old
mother died—when she asked sister Jane to set,
down by her bed-side and sing to her, and sister
Jane sung so low and sweet, and her vuce
trembled so, as the tears run down her cheeks,
that 1 fought it might have been an angel sing
ing to mother. I like Benny Ventano first rate.
It made me feel bad, though to see him stick
himself just before the curtain fell. I wanted
to hear him again, but now in the language o
Shakspeare, he has gone ''to be born in a coun
try from whence no traveller has been discover
ed,” an<l, in the language of that little ugly teller
of the Republican, “over his body the wild waves

A Confidence Man.
A young man, w th a modest exterior, who
gave his name as Henry Holmes, crossed “over
from the city to Algiers about three weeks ago,
and took board at the Telegraph House kept by
Mrs. Thompson. '1 lie reason given by him for J
deserting the city w«o> that he wished if possible
to avoid all contact ’"nth the yellow fever; and,
moreover, he had In-ome disgusted with the'
fashionable d vice which prevailed
in New Orleans To uch an extent. At the
Telegraph House, y ung Holmes passed for a I
man of great consequ nce and wealth. He was
also remarkable for tus religious deportment, and
on Sunday never lost n opportunity of mingling
with worshippers, ait- of joining with solemn
mein in all sacred exercises. In fact, Holmes
became quite a con fid nee man, and, as he con-
fidently informed the lady of the house that he
bad, in a recent visit lu California, become poss
essed of exhaustless h ealth, and was then en
gaged in negociasing . ie purchase of a million
acres of land in Te as, the attractions of the
wealthy stranger became whispered abroad, aud
invitations to dine am sup began to pour in up
on him from the elite cl our right-bank vis-a-vis
Within a week he was engaged to be married to
the fair , ai d had employed a fellow
boarder, at a salary et SBOO per year, with a
bonus of |4OO acres oMaud, to attend his estate
in Texas. This fellotV boarder had previously
been engaged in teaching the “ young idea how
to shoot,” and had saved up about $l5O, and
when he and his employer were packing up to
start. Holmes displayed several boxes of what
he called gold dust, bn; which may reasonably
be supposed to have be a brass filings. He also
showed a sealed box which, he informed his
newly employed secretary, wasf’fiilled with S2O
gold pieces. Then, at Lis employer’s suggestion
the ex-schoolmaster gav*> his funds into the safe
keeping of the supposed millionaire, and went to
visit a friend prior to his departure to the Far
West. In the meantime the confidence man re
moved the greater por urn of his effects to a j
steamboat, and stated that he would be back in
just an hour and a half tn pay his board, and de
part with his secretary. He, hoA'ever, never
returned, and the ex-sch.olmaster, when he got
back, discovered, to I*3 gm*at regret, that he had
been defrauded by a swindler, and the landlady
at the same time discovered that she had been
cheated out of three weeks board. Such are
some of the doings of one of the “.confidence
men’’ who have recently- been operating in our
goodly city.— N. O. Delta, 2d.
Crops and Famine.— For the last few gionths
the short-crops and starvation croakers have had
full sway and every section where rain has been
scarce or crops unpromising, from Maine to Tex
as, seems to have had its evil genius to report
the worst, often exagerat**d, in a paragraph for
the two thousand newspajiers of the country to
publish ami copy, and send out to their millions
ol readers, all over the Union, while no pen was
ready to give circulation {o the excellent crops
ol a thousand sections which are never heard of,
until a posafive panic on the subject, almost na
tion wide has resulted. But we are glad to see
that croakers are growing fewer, and feebler, the
I’anic subsiding,'and a better, and healthier state
ol public feeling is beginning to prevail. The
fact is, the deficiency in the crops ol the season,
hr s not, at any time during the gloomiest period,
justified a tittle ol the complaint so lreely indul
ged. The wheat crop, taking the country over,
was ty no means to he complained of. The
corn crops, iri some sections are greatly below
the average, is good in the West and South-west,
in tha ••• i—• m * ,
throughout the territory of the worst ol the
drought. The hay crop is far from being a fail
ure. Oafs were very good. Out of the various
articles used for winter feeding of stock, a very
respectable supply has been laid up. Besides,
trans-Atlantic crops are abundant, and we will,
of necessity, become our own consumers. Much
less will therefore be required to supply home
necessities. It may not be amiss to mention al
so that by the late reciprocity treaty, Canada
has access to our markets on terms that will
render the supplies of her good crops available to
our large cities iu the North-east.
Upon the whole, we think there is no need of
alarm, economy is the most that is required.—
By promptly taking care of what is produced,
there will be plenty. The hog crop is abundant.
The supply of pork, however, will depend in a
great measure upon the grain crop. Some sec
tions will latten but lew hogs, in order to save
grain ; but take the country over, we do not ap
prehend either a scarce supply, or an extravagant
price. The corn crop in some places has been
excellent, and some of»the pork packing States,
it is stated, will have more than twenty percent
above the average quantity. On the subject of
meat and breadstuftis, we think the country may
rest easy. —Knoxville Statesman.
A Tame Whale. —An eastern traveller, in a
newly published work, entitled “Notes of Tra
vel,relate, the following singular (act which
•came under his observation at Muscat.
No vjsitor to the harbor is better welcomed by
the natives than the “Muscat Tom.” This name

whale which has made an habitual practice for
over forty years to enter, feed, and frolic about
the cove several hours in each day, always leav

oAfis tribe, supposed to be a female, accom
panied him. His length may not be less than
seventy feet, and that of his companion fifty.—
Since his arrival signalizes the departure ol the
sharks which infest the harbor to the prevention
ot sea bathing by the natives, the most stren
uous caution is observed not jto interfere with
his pursuits and diversions. -He shows no fear
of such vessels as trespass upon his watery field.
One day as he came rolling leisurely and jblily
alongside of a vessel at anchor in the harbor,
and on which 1 wa«,one ot the crew threw with
considerable impetus a stick of wood into his
open mouth, as he raised his head out of the
water. This breach of the good treatment which
he had been wont to receive did not draw any
signs of dfspleasure from his whalefihip, although
moie than one malediction was bestowed upon
the imprudent tar by the exasperated natives
who had obseived his censurable conduct.

Among which may be specified “Dr. Hooflands
celebrated bitters,” for sale by C. M. Jackson—and
used with remarkable success in Liyer Complaint,
Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Nervous Debility, and a gene
ral derangement of the stomach. The Stinday
Dispatch says of this medicine :
“Wefeel convinced, that in the use of the Ger
man Bitters the patient does not become debilitat
ed, but constantly gains strength and vigor to the
frame—a fact worthy of great consideration. The
Bitters are pleasant in taste and in smell, and can
be administered under any circumstances, to the
most delicate stomach. Indeed they can be used
by all persons with the most perfect safety. Itwould
be well for those who are much affected in the ner
vous system, to commence with one teaspoonful or
less, and gradually increase. We speak irom ex
perience, and are, of course, a proper judge. The
press far and wide, have united in recommending
the German Bitters, and to the afflicted we most
cordially advise their use.” 12 sept!9

Sea Island at the same time last year,
i The receipts though considerably below those
of last year for corresponding season are about
double thoso of the previous week, and within a
short time we trust to bo able to report an increase
over those of last year. The extension of the South
western and opening of a part of the Mobile and
Girard Roads will undoubtedly have an influence
to increase our receipts during the season, and we
think the present deficiency is caused in a great
measure by the fine weather which keeps all of the
planting force busy in picking out the crop.
The market has been animated with a better de
mand for the higher grades which have slightly ad
vanced. The limited stock now offering prevents
heavy operations, but there are more buyers than
sellers, and if the planters would sond forward their
