Prof. Fowler’s Lecture.
There was a large and appreciative
audience last night to hear the lecture
of this gentleman, on “Self-culture
and the taming of children.” He illus
trated the necessity of vigorous bodies,
if we would have vigorous irileTTects;
and presented important practical limbs
in reference to Jaws of life applied to
the culture and control of children.—
He urged the importance of guiding by
precept, example and love, rather than
... ky fear A His lecture comprised a

Phrenology to the development of all
the faculties, and the importance of fol
lowing out, the laws of nature, indica

• ugustu—Her Trade.
Ever since our paper has existed, we
have eride ivored to as far as a brief res
idence in the city has enabled us to be
come v ith its interests and ad
vantages, to present the claims of Au
§Usta as a husines city, before our rea
ders. believing that public attention
has not been sufficiently directed by
the press of the State, to the localities
that give marts, markets, and general
progressive facilities to commercial bus
iness, and the arts. Our neighbor, Col.
S;A!pkins, of the Edgefield. Advertiser, iibfi
has “ an eye ” for the attractions ai*K
advantages of Augusta, and wc iWKe
no apology to make for appropumtiog
his observations after a recent visit here
into our local column, thus :
Wc of Edgefield should hold ourselves
fortunate in being so conveniently near
to this brisk, enterprising and useful ci
ty. IV.-dde boidg decidedly the most
promioeuc and popular business mart of
Georgia An unta is rapidly growing to
be one of the most important market
towns of the Southern States. Her
railroad connections, now running out
in almo>t every direction, are making
her one of the most considerable depots
of Southern produce ; and this central
position, under the atispieies of good
banks and a high order of business en
ergy and skill, is steadily working out
for her a commercial future, which
must redoftnd greatly to the prosperity
of her own people and to the advantage
of all her surrounding country. Al
ready does she ttford facilities in many
departments of trade which few North
ern towns, and none in her own lati
tude, can surpass. Her cotton mer
chants, her produce dealers, her dry
goods men. her manufacturers and her
mechanics, are superior to those oi any
city of her size from Maryland to Texas
In some respec.s she has the advantage
of even her larger competitors of the
seaboard - especially so in the impor
tant department of country produce.—
She is unfortunate moreover in possess
ing an active and enterprising class of
leading business m< n, —men who are
ambitious of well-grounded success for
their city, and who spare neither pains
nor the outly of their means to attain it.
To back these laudable aims of her cap
'itiilists, she also numbers a long list, of
vigilant accommodating und skilful
dealers in the various branches of trade,
—dealers who, acting upon the idea
that “ a nimble sixpence is better than
a slow i-hilliug,” present inducements
that not only draw custom from the
country around, but tend materially to
assist the growth of the city’s popula
tion and her consequent pr minence and
Usefulness. It is from this point ol
view that wc regard the beautiful city
of Augusta, in congratulating the peo
ple of )dg<field, and others on ’.he
8o ith Carolina side of the Savannah
wiio arecoiiVenn nt to her, upon the:r
good fortune in being thus ailvanta
geously located. It is heciusc they thus
joe in the enjoyment of facilities which
fe v communities in the South, and none
certainly in Carolina, can claim to pos
Bess. Is tin re any room, fir instance
to com pure the facilities offered by Co
lombia with those of Augusta ? And if
n t—(as every one must concede) —a
c uitrast cannot surely be instituted as
t aamdeiq or Newberry, or Winnsboro.
or any other of our rising points of
t ade Augusta nan overwhelmingly
the advantage of them all whether as
to location, ability, or strength of popu
lation ; and the people of Edgefield,
lailroad or no railroad, have in her
such a commercial emporium as no oth
er community in South Carolina en joys.
r l no * cven cxc eptthe surroundings
of Charleston herself, partly for the
reason that they consist chiefly in
swamps and frog ponds ; but even if in
place of these there were a population
like our own, it would be only in a few
things that their position would excel
ours.
It may perhaps be suggested that wc
overslaw old Hamburg in these allu
sions to Augusta. Not at all. Ham
burg and Augusta arc one and the same
city in effect; and we are glad to know
that the people of the two places arc
willing to he regarded thus, of course
we mean us to all commercial purposes.
Whether our Hamburg friends are wil
ling to this construction or not, is it
not true that Augusta is gradually ab
sorbing botli them and their trade?
Hut however this may be, the two
places are as one to ns in the remarks
we here make. We have them both
in view, when we say that Edgefild is
better located, as to market privileges,
than any other district in South Caroli
na. Wc hope that Hamburg’s lamp
may hold out to burn, particularly in
the cotton-buying business ; but if it
should not, Augusta’s certainly will.—
As an established southern city, her
place upon the map is likely never to
be less prominent than it now is. The
chances are many that it will become
more und more conspicuous with every
succeeding year. We trust'so at any
rate, not only for the sake of the ad
vantages our people would thus have
insured to them as it were, but on ac
count too of her own clever population
and their most laudable spirit of pro
gress.
Let us hope then that the people of
Edgefield will not be slow to appreciate
their advantages in this respect, and to
profit by their use. In encouraging Au
gusta, we encourage a young city whose
future prosperity can but act most fa
vorably upon our own welfare ; —we
help to create not only an emporium of
trade at our doors, but a place where’
we and our children may occasionally
hear und see whatever of excellence the
tine arts may display or science iviay
bring to light, and that too without ei
ther loss of time or of money;—wo as
sist in creeling (it may be) a southern '
j metropolis almost within view of our
homes ; and we also thus show our
selves to our Georgia neighbors in the
light of brethren whose social and po
litical affinities are nottramelled by ter
ritorial limits, or at least whese husi-1
Ji css negotiations, are not held subject i
Id such metes and boundaries. Once
more then we say, let us help Augusta,
i® in so doing we help ourselves and j
encourage southern progress.

\ What I Have Noticed*
I have noticed that all men speak
well of a man s virtues when he is dead,
and the tomb stones are marked vvTfh'
epitaphs of “ good and virtuous.” I*
there any particular cemetery where
the iW are buried ? ■" • .
1 have noticed that the prayer of eve
ry selfish man is “forgive us our debts,"
but he makes everybody who owes him
pay to the utmost farthing. ! .
1 have ffotiml that death is a merci
less judge, though not impartial. Eve
ry man owes a debt. Death summons
the debtors to down with the dust in
the currency of mortality.
/ l have noticed that he who thinks a
man is a rogue, is very certain to see
one when he shaves himself. J What a
big rascal Diogenes must nave been
at that rate. X ' '•
I have noticed that money is the
fool's wisdom, the knave's reputation,
lhe wise man's jewel, the rich man’s
trouble, the poor man’s desire, the co
vetous man's ambition, and the idol of
I have noticed that merit is always
measured in this world by success. ,
I have noticed that in order to be a
reasonable creature, it is necessary to
he downright mad.
I have noticed that uSwe a pr
wishing instead of working forfortunes,
we are disappointed, and call Dame For
tune blind - hut it is the very best evi
dence that the old lady has the most
capable eyesight, and js no old granny
with spectacles. \ A X.
I have noticed that putseg will hold,
pennies as well as pounds.
I have noticed that tombstones say,
‘ Here he lies,” which no doubt is often
true; and if men could see the epitaphs
their friends sometimes write, they
would believe they had got into the
wrong grave
> Shocking Affair.
At Grass Valley, on the night of the
22d Feb.. Michael Brennan, formerly
connected with the press in New York
city, hut who left two years ago for Cal
ifornia, where he was president of the
Mount Hope Mining Company, was
found locked in his room, with his fam
ily all dead.
The Coroner's jury returned a werdict
that Brennan came to his death by ta
king prussic acid, administeied by his
own hands; that Lor.nda, his wife, Kl
im. Robert and Lorinda, his children
came to their deaths by prussic acid ad
ministered by Michael Brennan, while
laboring under temporary insanity,
. caused by financial embarrassments.
Some time since Bren ian became so
deeply involved that he despaired of
over being able to extricate himself;
t his is supposed to have pressed so heav
ily on uiH mind as to cause him to de
stroy himself and family. They were
fonnd lying about the room in different
' places. Brennan and his wife were de
voted to each other, and both of them
passionately fond of their children.-
Urennan was an Irishman by birth.
The Alta California publishes the fol
lowing narrative of the affair, written
by a lady in the vicinity ;
| The nurse, Kitty, went to church, and
j the cook took the two eldest children
| out to walk. Mrs. B. then took the
youngest child in her arms, and walked
up and down tho verandah, until lie
came and took it from her, when she
went and laid out the children’s cloth
ing ready for their bath when they came
hack from the walk. The last the cook
I saw of Mrs. B was when she left the
verandah and went into the house. It
is supposed that he did not tell his wife
that lie had lost heavily, and was deep
ly involved, more than ten minutes be
fore her death. As she was totally un
acquainted with her husband’s financial
condition, she knew nothing of his em
barrassment ; and when he told her of
his situation, and what he meant to do
with himself, the shock caused her to
feel faint, and she laid down on the so
fa. At this time he handed her a glass
of claret, with the deadly poison in it,
which she drank, thinking it was only
wine, and that it would revive her. A
loaded pistol was on the table, for use
in case she had not drank the wine.—
After drinking, she clenched her hands
and struggled some, w hen he put the
pillow over her face and smothered her ;
then saturated a piece of sugar with the
poison, and fed it to the child.
When the cook returned he took the
eldest child, a girl, and administered
the sugar to her. He then called the
hoy, Bobby, into the room, but he ran
out, crying ‘Oh ! mamma!' but the j
father followed him, calling him his lit
tle man, took him up in liss arms, car
ried him back, gave him some sugar,
and smothered him. The girl, who
was preparing lunch in another apart
ment, did not think any thing unusual
of any actions. After killing the entire
family, the father secured all the doors
and sat down to write, but hearing
i Martineau come, he stepped out, and,
holding the door in his hand, told him
the girls were at church, and that he
would not bother about lunch, but j
have dinner at 6 o'clock. He said Mrs. i
Brennan was not well, and had laid i
down. In the letter he wrote, lie said
he wanted Martineau, the Secretary of
the Company, to he sure they were all
dead.
“It appears ttiat Mr. Brennan was en
gaged in quartz mining at Grass Valley,
land had been unfortunate, lost heavily,
land was owing workmen and storekeep
| ers, and felt that he could not get out
'of his embarrassment. The citizens of i
| the place, knowing the family iveil, j
| and esteeming them highly, were very
| deeply affected with this dread tragedy, I
land could find no puliation for this
| wholesale murder of his family.
