Augusta Water Works.
The people of our city are the
most patient, submissive and amiable
souls in the world, or they would not
consent to pay the water tax for the j
present irregular and inadequate supply.
The water works of the city are at best,
* b H t little better than a nuisance. To
day we have a pitiful supply, and to-
IPmorrow we don’t; and yet we continue
to pay hydrant tax, while our servants
“tote” water from the street-pumps,
or poach on a neighbor's premises for an
accasional bucket-full. And yet, say a
word about a new system of water
works, in a crowd at the street-corner,
and these good-natured souls who pay
for what they do not get, will inconti
nently thrust their hands into their
pockets, clinch their purees and walk
away, exclaiming—“it will raise our
taxes —never ll do.”
Now, we think we can safely assert
that no city in the country is less bur
dened with taxes than Augusta. There
are few that are not better suppliedj
with water. And yet we have an abun-1
dance running to waste at our very i
doors, which, at small expense, could j
be made available for use. It is estima- i
ted that a reservoir could be erected and j
' mains could be put into the principle
streets in the city for about $50,000,
which would give us a constant supply j
from the Canal.
AVill some of our citizens suggest
a better plan ? AVe would be pleased
to hear from the numerous Council-
Committees, who, for eight or ten years, j
have been making surveys, and estima-!
ting the cost of supplying the city with j
water. The city is deeply interested in j
this matter. It is believed that the se
curity it would afford against the rav ,
ages of those disastrous fires which \
might always be stopped by our fire- j
y. men, if we had a supply of water—and j
W against the damage from dust, which
is the pest of our merchants as well as
of private families, would make it a
source of actual gain to the city, not to
mention the luxury of being permitted
to breathe air unmixed with impalpable
dust, and of having our sidewalks and
gutters washed sweet and clean every j
•day.!

But we’ll a moment stay !
Come close around the engine, row.
And help lue chorus f-ing.
And till the word is take her home,’*
Well make the welkin ring.
Chorus—For we know no sorrow.
We fear no danger ;
And while we are together,
We’re jolly fellows all!
We love to linger round the spot
Where we’ve the tire king slain,
And see around the bright eyes glance
More dazzling than the flame,

That they 're from danger free ;
O. what can be more glorious
Than the fireman’s victory !
For we knew, kc.
Yeu’ve known us long enough to know

In shine, or rain, or snow,

Prepared to meet the foe.

To man the rope all round
For all our friends we’ll give three chee *
Before we leave the ground ;
And for our volunteers we’ll give
Three more and a “ tigah 1”
Then start up for the engine house,
And try a fireman's fare !

Polygamy vs. the Book of Mormon. |
—The Utah correspondence of the New !
York Times developes some curious facts j
in relation to Polygamy among the
Mormons. It appears that the Book of 1
Mormon, the standard authority among
that people, expressly forbids and de- 1
nounces Polygamy and Concubinage ; I
and that in establishing the system of !
many 'wives in his community,; Brig- 1
ham Young has directly contravened
an explicit command.
A Western editor says : ‘-It is sup- i
posed that angels do not wear dresses, i
Our fashionable ladies are getting more
and more angelic every year.”
Sally Spikes’ Present,
Ami what Slic* d!<l with It!
The ripple that appears on the surface
of a small body of water, after a stone
has been cast into it does not more cer
tainly reach every part of it. than do
the fashions which spring up in our
commercial centres, extend, by slow de
grees, from city to town, from town to
village, and from village to hamlet.—
The Miss Flora McFlimseys of Fifth
Avenue have their admirers and copy
ists among the Polly Ann Wigginses and
Sally Spikeses of I’iny AVuods ; and if
the Miss Flora can boast a precedence,
by reason of proximity ta the great
centers of modern invention, the Miss
Pollysand MissSaliys, have this advan
tage : they pay less for their fashions
and enjoy much more what they do
get.
Os all those modern inventions which
the Genius of Fashion has conceived to
captivate her votaries, none, perhaps,
exceeds in breadth of popularity, the
Hoop Skirt. Although its advent
Amongst us dates hack hut a few months
yet to what an extent it has already
spread ! AVithered age ; ancient mai
denhood ; artless girlhood, aye, and
pratting infancy, offer incense on the
Altar of Crinoline. The “ young’un ”
that sports a hoop of Flour barrel di
mensions, and the elegant young Lady
who has just finished a course at Mad
am Fuliere’s, and wears a skirt that
would hive the “Philistine of Gath,”
all bow in adoration at the shrine of
Crinoline. Color makes no difference ;
for Dinah fresh from the Cotton patch,
with more self-importance, and extrav
agant conceit than belong to her young
mistress, sports her unobtrusive but
unyielding grape vine.
Uncle Billy Spikes, as he was famil
iarly called in his Deestrek, came to town
a few Saturdays ago, with a load of TFu
ttrmillions, a basket of peaches, a bucket
of honey, six pounds of bees-wax. and
a little of the old ’Oman’s truck. Find
ing a ready market for his products, he
set out at once, as hesaid, “ter git sum
thin nice for his gal. for she and Mose
McMillun was agwine tu git married
jnexSundy moru’n at the Rocky Spring
i cherch. and he lowd, how as Sal was
(entituld to er present frum her old Dad
sis it want no more an a fine tuthcomb.”
| Uncle Billy entered one store and an
other until he exhausted his own
strength as well as the patience of the
merchants. He looked at one thing
an another, asked the price of every ar
ticle and “ eluded he would’nt trade.”
As he was leaving the last store, his
jeye caught a glimpse of a “Patent-
Extension, with self-adjusting Bustle
attached,” swinging near the ceiling.
That was something he had’nt seen, so
he let off in this style :
| “ Now, Squire what du you call that
[ar fixin’ up thar, es I must be so quisi
| five to ax yerThe merchant, we
| suppose, intended to impress the old
J man with a sense of its novelty as well
;is its importance, so lie told him it was
a Crinoline. Uncle Billy nodded his
j head and began to think all to himself.
[He “caliated” he had seen the article
: used before, and as Mose ajid Sal would
| have to ride to the meeting House, he
[couldn’t see any better way to spend
i his money, and concluded to buy “ one
on ’em, at four dollars cash a large
; sum, to be sure, for a poor man to spend
on a wedding present, hut lie “lowd
Low as Mose wild soon takehis gal off’n
his hands, and ’twus but simpul jestis
to the poor crittur, enny how.” Uncle
Billy paid down the cash for his hoss
tackle’ and marched off with it under
I his arm, to the wagon. He got home
j about sun down ; and asAlose was down
in the orchard where Sal was drying
i peaches, the old man, together with the
j old ’oman and the hoss gear, were soon
jin pursuit of the happy couple. Yon
jder (Sim’s Dad, said Sal. “Yes, (re
’ turned the old raau) and gess Gal, what
I I hort yu. Taint nun of yer thrip kali
! ker, nur homespun nuther.” “My
sakes (said Sal) what kin it be—du tell
me, Dad, or I’ll git a fit—is it sum
gluvs, er Sam smelling water, er sum
j stockius, er some gingy cake, er sum
what; do tell me, Dad, for I’m er
jeeehin all over to see it.’’ The old
man slowly hoisted his old blue jeans
I coat tail, and produced the present to
J the excited and impatient lovers. He
[ told them what it was and all about its
uses. He said it was a “ Critter line ,”
’ and besides helping the looks of horses
in harness, it would “keep off n the
flies frum a peckin at ’em.” He told
Mose to come round early Sunday mor
i ning and hitch Blossom to the “chicken
waggin,’ put on the “Critter-line," and
drive Sal to church ; while be and the
[“old ’on:an wud wtirry along with the
little Bull in the Sliingul waggin.”
Sunday came, and with it Mose bright
and early. AVe will not attempt to de
scribe the outfit of our hero and bero
rine ae they appeared on the eventful
morning, set apart for iheir bridal so
[ lemnities ; that would make our story
as long f.* Lige Dad’s ball of twine that
I his dog swallowed, and Lige trod on
some deys after; which (the twine)
I “never did kept from a cqmlu’: an not
i withstaudin’ the dog run pow’ful fur,
! hilt on ter him.”
It is sufficient to say that they were
arrayed In the habiliments proper on
i such occasions and in such settlements,
j When Mose came to put on the Critter
\ line , he was puzzled sorely where to be
: gin, and where to stop. The old man
soon settled the “diffikility" by direct
ing Mose to tiethe "little eend” around
!the crillur's. neck, as that “wud give the
big eend a-diance to flop off n the flies
frum its tore back.” This ‘ldiffikilty
arranged, the wedding Party set out for
the meeting house at P.ocky Springs.
It is proper to say that Uncle Billy
was a leading man in the ektslreck, nnd
had a great many friends. And his
j “only darter” was going to be married,
iit may he well imagined that a large
crowd had assembled at the Church to
witness the interesting ceremony. Be
fore the cortege reached the Church, il
had gathered on its march a great num
ber., riders oil horse hack, foot atten
dants, and occupaats of little vehicles
like the old man’s Bull and Sliingul
cart.
j Being at a friend's house in the neigh
| borhood, we accepted an invitation from
[ his accomplished and beautiful daugh
j ters to accompany them to the Church,
’and be an eye witness of a genuine
j“ Country wedding." Os course our
I crowd was among the most eager antic
! ipants of the arrival of the Bridal par
ity. Pretty soon after we got down, the
j vehicle containing Mose and his intend
jed moved slowly out of the woods ami j
came directly up to the horse rack,'
about ten feet from the platform where
we stood with the young ladies. Slow
ly, solemnly and with great dignity,
Mose told Blossom ter icur ! And Blos
som i curd ter onct. Reader did you ever
see an old Roostor’s tail just after a
drenching rain? You have* Well
you know just hew we looked. The
I girls at our side looked with downcast
| eyes at each other and really seemed to
j feel more ludicrous in their position
’ than did Sally behind the new fashion
: ed fly not. “Hello thar,” said .Jim
Jenkins, “what is that on yer hoss,
I I Mose "? “Go ter li—ll, Jim Jenkins,
■sand speck when yer spokin ter," re
■ iplied the unterrified Moses. “Mose.
11 yer ain’t gwine sanein, is yer,” said Bill
• | Jones—“takeoff yer hoss kiver, Mose,”
i [said Wes Blunt, “fur it mout rain, and
jdurnedmi lites, es it dus, es that ar
11 cussed tiring don’t dry up so tite roun
: j Blossum’s neck it’l choke the critter to
] death.” These and similar expressions
;! greeted Mose from his intimate asso
s dates as lie was “lightin” from the wa
- gou. But Mose had’nt time or temper
i for a light, so he took Sally by the hand
i and led her in the Church. After a
while we heard a great noise just out
i side of the church as if a team was
I moving off rapidly. It increased, and
, pretty soon a crowd rushed for the door.
> AVhen we got in sight, we could just
t see a little bit of Cotton cloth flapping
5 in the breeze, and moving at the rate
’ of ten miles an hour. Nobody knows
. how' Blossom “cum to run away, sich a
1 steady hoss as every body knowd him to
■ be.” But certain it was, he had run
■ away, and nobody could tell how it
. happened. But AYes Blunt says, “he
• heerd Tim Simpson say, lie heered one
. of the niggers on Squire Jones’ settle
t ment say, he knowd whar tlier wasches
: nut burs closter ther cheich, and he
f j (Wes) suspecks, hut don’t know, es it
; i ain’t likely that sum of the boys put
, j one under Blossuin’s tail while Mose
. ! wa3 a gettin’ spliced in the meetin
r house.”
t Wes further says, he “fouu” some of
the “hoss tackil'’ on a crab-apple tree,
. about six miles from the cliercli on the
i Monday morning after the “scrape,”
. and that lie “tuk hit home wid him to
t keep fur a reelic of Mose McMullin’s
1 j bridal down at the Rocky Spring Cherch
. ihaltur.”

THE DULY DISP.ITfII
I Contains the latest telegraph!; am! intelllji
! gence, up to the hour of publication, and offers |
to merchants and the reading public a most dc-,
1 sirab>e medium of
Commercial, General
AND
LOCAL NEWS.
It contains accurate reports of the leading mar
kets of this country and Europe, and a careful
daily statement of the PRICES CURRENT in
AUGUSTA, based upon actual transactions. Its
reading columns will contain a full and reliable
summary of the
LATEST
\
Our advantages in this department are un
equalled. embracing, in addition to tbo usual
mail facilities, telegraphic communication with ■
all the princ'pal cities, and a large corps of spe
cial correspondents.
The rapidity with which the DISPATCH has
obtained a circulation, equalled by very few
Daily papers South, sufficiently attests the suc
cess and practicability of cheap papers. They
follow railroads as naturally as waterruns down
hill. The DISPATCH is located at the most fa
vorable point, and issued at the most favorable
I time for obtaining and disseminating the VERY
| LATEST NEWS. The telegraphic and mail facili- j
I ties of Augusta, and its proximity to the interior, ( .
| give it material advantage over any of its sifter! I
cities as a distributing point, and an Evening
| paper, furnishes news to Middle and Upper
i Georgia, parts of Tennessee and Alabama, and
! to South Western Georgia, and parts of Florida,
I twelve hours in advance of any other publica-
I tion. Merchants, Planters, Speculators, and the
j reading public would do well to test these asser
; tions for themselves
WEEKLY

i This paper is issued every Friday, and con-1'
tains 36 columns, (with few advertisements,) 1
! and in addition to the Commercial and General (
[ News of the day, and tho Prices Current in Au- j
i gusta, it always contains an attractive variety
i of pleasing Miscellany, Tales. Sketches, Poetry, j

j emphatically a SOUTHERN PLANTERS HOME

for a share of the patronage of the reading
