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. \ Meeting.

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.

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.
