_ . local interests. ;-.**d—as
an evening paper—a great public eon- j
ver.iencc. They seem as nnconsciou? • t
its advantages as an advertising meui *
mn, as they are indifferent to its success.
We have no expectation of receiving
universal favor ; but iro have a confi
dent hope that with our earnest efforts
to establish a cheap mtdßum of popular j
intelligence hero, where no such enter- .
prise was ever before attempted, we may !<
net long long rely for its chief support ,
upon distaut patronage. e adapt our ! (
terms to the means of the humblest cit- [ j
i»n—fending the paper by the month |<
or quarter—and delivenug it anywhere |
within the limits of the city. A four
dollar daily ought to have one thousand ’
subscribers in Augusta. Its columns
are chiefly made up from the morning
nails, and from dispatches received dur- (
iug the day '■ hence its contents are
fresh tv the readers of the morning pa
jh- , and we endeavor to adapt the tone
Os the paper to the evening fireside.
We shall throw the present number
of the paper into most of the stores and j
residences of the city, and in a day or I
two, some one connected with the office j
will call in person to renew expiring ;
subscriptions and to obtain new ones.— j
May we not hope for an increase among ;
our city readers in keeping with that
which the mails are bringing from the
interior.

It is a little annoying that on the j
present occasion, fatten we are anxious i
to present our friends a readable nnm- J
bev, we should be deprived of the usual j
s ources of news, having failed to re- j
ct-ive our latest Washington and »-'cv>
York papers. There is a special barren
ness in the world of news around tty—
the state papers being signally destitute ,
of their usual paragraphs of local
incidents. We shall wait with be- |
coming patience for a moving in th c
stagnated current of events and like j
desperate wreckers, seize the floating
fragments as they present themselves. '
Generals Walk.*'r ami Hennlngsen* j
The Washington correspondentof thc ‘ I
New York Times, says : “In the course
of a conversation with Gen. Hhorsg- |(
n» last evening, he assured me that the j i
supposition is entirely erroneous that P
there is, or has been, the slightest disa- L
greement between him and General jc
Walker in relation to the command e
in Nicaragua, or any other subject. Id
confirmation of this statement he re
fers to the well known fact that when
Gen. Was.kek recently arrived at New ;
York on his parole, he proceeded at (
ence to Bexmnosun’s house. i

|ST During the year 1867, the num- *
her of case 6 brought before the Police '
Court of Boston was nine thousand two (
hundred and si . In 1860 the number t
was eight thousand five hundred and j
three. Increase of cases iu 1857, seven [
hundred and three. The principal j i
offences were drunkenness, assaults, and j<
larcenies. ; 1

Deaf andDuuift A.ylnm.
We notice that the Board of Comm is- ! j
licners of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum I j
have issued their announcement that
the institution is now in readiness for i
pupils They have published the card|
in five of the Democratic journals of the ‘j
State, and no others. We are curious I
to know whether it is because the 4»t
lum is a political concern, or whether
they presume all the deaf and dumb
persons in the State are Democrats.

These figures 6bow enormous fluetua
-0 tions in the quantity anti value of ex
■ portfed cotton in years closely following
- each other. Tables we havu not space
, to give show this very forcibly. We
take for comparison an exact cycle of j
> ten years, and the result is particularly I
striking. The crop of 1847 was a short!
lone, hut brought an uncommonly good j
price. The export was 527,219,955]
pounds, at 10J5-4cents average price,,
making an aggregate of $53.415.848.
Glancing at the return for 1857, it will
be perceived that the export ,was more
than double- —namely : 1048 mil
lions tor 627 millions, and the total
j value had increased one hundred and
ififty per cent., exceeding those of 1847
Iby the vast sum of more than seventy
(eight millions of dollars.
| This is an instance.. >f extreme changes
J —1846 and 1847 being exceptional years ]
jof a succession of small crops, the ex-1
ports being nearly the same—but the
j average price varying nearly 4 cents a
'pound, with a difference on the value of
] more than $10,000,000.
'Two years after, viz : in 1849, there
'w as the concurrence of a very largo ex
|port, at a very small price. The quan-
I tity was nearly as large as that of 1857.
j being 1,020,602,269 pounds, but the |
average price wasonly 6,04 cents, and
the aggregate value only $63,096,907,
or only about one-half of that of 1857.
The same number of bales in 1857
| brought $05,000 000 more than they
did in 1849.
Moths In Carpeti,—Another Remcitj .
An experienced housekeeper who
i reads the Tribune says:
‘ 1 Camphor will not stop the ravages
!of moths after they have commenced
■eating. Then they pay no regard to
!the presence of camphor, cedar or to
i bacco—in fact. I rather think they en
joy the latter, if anything else than hu
manity can. Nor will the dreaded and
;inconvenient taking up and beating
i always ensure success, for 1 tried it
faithfully, and while nailing it down
■ found several of the worms ‘alive and
] kicking,’ that had remained under the
pile unharmed. 1 conquered them whol-
Jiv in this way . I took a coarse crash
towel and wrung it out of clean water
l and spread it smoothly on the carpet,
(then ironed it dry with a good hot iron,
i repeating the operation on all suspected
places, and those least used. It does not
injure the pile or color of the carpet in
the least, as it is not necessary to press
I hard, heat and steam being the agents ;
and they do the work effectually on
worms and eggs. Then camphor will
doubtless prevent future depredations
of tbe miller.’’
Breach of |Promise.
Bertha Blattmacher has been awarded
$5,000, in Brooklyn, N. Y.. as the
amount of damage done to her heart by
John A. Saal, by a breach cf marriage
promise. Saal isa married man. About
tbe time the marriage was to take place
with Miss 8., Rial’s lawful wife acci-
Ideutly found a marriage agreement be
tween her husband and the young lady
in one of the pockets of his overcoat
This attracted her suspicions, and upon
making inquiries, theascertaincd the resi-:
dence of the young lady and waited up- {
on her; An explanation and exposition '
ensued, which resulted in Miss Blatt
inaeher commencing the action.
Early Marriages Advocated.
Rev. Dr. Bellows, in his last lecture
before the Lowell Institute, strongly i
urged the necessity of early marriages
as the only remedy for that licentious
ness so prevalent among the youth of
our large cities, and soundly berated the
fair sex for tireir extravagant tastes and
expensive habits which, as he alleged,
i deter young men of small means from
'entering the matrimonial state, and
! thus lead to illicit indulgences.
A Kovel Turn-Out.
Among the novelties observed in
I New York on New Year’s Day was a
'carriage propelled by steam, and opera
■ ted bv tv. > fast young men, in their bu
Isiness of making calls. They doubtless
; considered the old fogy turn-out of four
jin-hand as altogether too slow for the
j times, and the accomplishment of the
ifull c implement of live hundred
;calls. "

According to the correspondence of
i the Courier St Enquirer, the Republican
members of Congress, in caucus, last
week, “resolved, upon the adviceof Gov
' Seward, not to agitate the slavery ques
tion, hut attend to Legislation.” 'This
is a very remarkable resolution, and
seems very inconsistent with the creed
of the party by whom it was made.

A few day 6 Bince Mr. Q. Beckwith, of
Beckwith Landing, Missouri, accompani
ed by his negro man, started for Hick
] man in a skiff, for the purpose of collec
ting a debt of some fifteen hundred dol
lars , this being accomplished they star
i ted for h me. They had proceeded but
!a short distance, when Mr. B, from some
unaccountable reason, concluded to get
out and walk/the money being in coin,
was left in the boat. Scarce had he
touched the shore when the bank caved
in, erigulfiing negro, money and skiff.—
Mr. B esi aped uninjured. Nothing has
beer, seen or heard of either negro,
money or skiff since.
In one of the courts, lately, there was
a long and learned discussion as to

was, “Notaword.”

One of the plans for building railroads
in Wisconsin has been to induce the far
mers along the route of n road to be
built to mortgage their farms to the
raliroad company, and then the com
pany sells the mortgages to raise money,
guaranteeing to pay the interest anil
1 lie amount of the mortgage when due
It is said that from 2,000 to 3,000 farms
are mortgaged to railroads in Wisconsin;
that the railroads earmot pay, and to re
lease their farms wiil strip nine-tenths
of them of the hard earnings of many
years.

tive.— I Thi.i wonderful preparation is having an |
r extensive sale in ail parts of the Union. It is i ■
■ one of the few patent medicines which are new | i
t wW over the country, that are ready what their
s inventors claim for them. Wherever it had t
l a fair trial, the result hits been precisely lh
i j Wood predicts. It ha*' never failed to turn the
white hair back to the natural color, where th( j -
- directions have hoen strictly followed, and in
uun erous cases it has restored the hair upon ! .
heads tha; Lad be?n bald for years. It is not j**
pretooided that it will make th« hair grow in ev-j
ery case ; 1«! whore it fails there is certainly no
; remedy. The restoration of tto hair has been!
effected in so many instances whore thecbse]
: seemed utterly hopeless, that it is certain y:
worth while for all who have lost their hair to | I
i try the experiment of using a bottle or two of!
Wood’t Restorative. —Moline Wori-man.
