LOCAL MATTERS.
Suicide.
A German, by the name of John Axe,
living in the upper part of the city, a
shoemaker by trade, committed suicide |
last night, by shooting himself with a
pistol. We understand he leaves a wife
and children. An intpiest was held
over the body this morning by Coroner
Henry Baker, and the Jury brought in
us their verdict—“that lie came to his
death by a pistol in his own hands, put
ting the muzzle to his mouth and firing
it off, causing instant death.”
We learn that Mr. Axe was a sober
and industrious man, and no cause is
assigned for the horrible tragedy.
Vheattcal.
We learn from Dr. Girardet, that
Mr. Marcuani has leased Concert Hall,
and will bring his Charleston Company
here during a portion of the Winter.—
Our theatre going community were fa
vorably impressed with Mr. Marchant
during his sojourn here last winter,
both for his gentlemanly deportment,
and his enterprise as a Manager. We
trust that he will make arrangements
to give us the full strength of his
Charleston forces —for we assure him
that a well-appointed company will be
appreciated and patronized in Augusta.
We learn that he has engaged a first class
stock company, and made arrangements
for a number of the leading stars. We
hope to announce the commencement of
the dramatic season at an early day.
Augusta Hotel.
Fer some time past this house has
been undergoing a most thorough reno
vation. It is said that a new broom
sweeps clean ; but the presiding genius
of this spacious establishment has
called in painters, brushes, paper hanc
ers and upholsters, and completely
changed the aspect of the whole house,
from basement to atic. The Augusta is
now in fine order and, with about 100
rooms, offers most desirable quarters for
hoarders or the traveling public. Mr.
Whhelock, tbe gentlemanly proprietor,
is already well known from his former
connection with the Globe Hotel, and
other public houses, and we predict for
the Augusta a popular “season 1 ' under
bis “management.”
Weailier.
The weather continues “clear as a
hell”—and we learn from the Chairman
Os the Board of Health that the report
of interments this week lias been even
lighter than ■ usual. Even tbe most
timid have no longer any fears that we
shall be visited by “Yellow Jack” this
season, and absentees are constantly re
turning. We notice a 1 irge number of
country merchants in the city this week,
and trade is lively.
Last evening was clear, and in the
West there was not a cloud to obstruct a
good view of the Comet, which most of
our citizens took advantage of.

The editors of tire Federal Union pro
pose publishing a daily paper hi Mil
iedgevillo during the session, if they
meet with sufficient encouragement by
the 25th pros. A good daily in Mil
ledgeville, during the session, is much
needed, and the low price at which tbe
Daily Union is offered ($1) should insure
it success. If well conducted, it will do
a good business, and be sought after,
but if close application and industry is
not bestowed on it, the Augusta, Savan
nah and Columbus papers will be looke i->
to, even by the members of the legisla
ture for the latest „intelligence by both
branches of the General Assembly.
Sad Accident to Archbishop 10am .
We are pained to hear 0 f a sei ions
and most distressing accident which be
fell the Kight lfev. ArchPisop Blanc,
at Doimldsonville, on Saturday night.—
He had been down to B ayo n Lafourche
on the steamer Dresden -and leaving
that steamer for the L a fit’te, at Donald
sonville, in order to return to the city,
he got his foot accidentally in a hole in
the deck of one of the "boats—which
boat is not reported —and fell in such t
manner as to break both bones of his
left leg. He wa3 attended to at. once
with all that alacrity and medical skill
could provide ; and yesterday he reach
ed the city on the Latitte, and was ta
ken to his residence on Conde stieet
suffering the most excruciating pain.—
Apart from his suffering, he was doing
as well as could be expected under the
circumstances; being under the very
best medical care. Widely known and
beloved as the reverend gentleman is—
being bead of the Catholic church in
this State—the news of his misfortune
created a deep sensation throughout
the city.—,Y. O. Crescent.
We are gratified to be able to report
that Arebbishop Blanc, says the New
Orleans Picayune, the painful accident to
whom, on Saturday, was announced on
Monday, is stated to be rapidly improv
ing, and that his early and full lecov
ery is confidently expected.

Judges Disagree.
In the case of the captain of the slaver
Echo, at Boston, Judge Story has decid
ed that this class of cases could bo tried
in any district of the United States, but
Judge Sprauue decides that they must
be tried in the district to which they are
1 1 first carried. This would send the cap
tai* back to Florida, where his lawyers
■ are trying to get him. A final decision
was to be made on Monday last.
(Sj” Hopewell Presbytery convened in
Macon on the 22d inst., and granted the
, application of the Rev. Mr. Brkck, for
. his dismission from the pastoral charge
! of the Presbyterian Church in that city.
Mr. B. and family left the next after
noon for his new home in Indiana.

Two yellow fever cases resulted
fatally at Milton, Fla., last week. The
i Courier, of the 20th, says there were then
. four cases under treatment.
|lffltis asserted that the President
will restore the whole batch of suspend
ed naval officers to tne active list. The
' examination of the cases is nearly con
cluded.
Kansas has had seven Governors;
Reeder, Dawson, Shannon, Geary, Wal

No day in the three hundred and
sixty-five could surpass yesterday in its
brightness and beauty, its contort for
• j the body and cheering influences for the
! mind. It opened with a stiff, bracing
breeze from the North and the mercury
at 55°, and at no time did the ther
: monieter indicate a higher tempeiature
i than 70° in the very heart of the city.
; A friend who spent the night at White
Bluff, informed us that it was as low as
53 ° when he left there at an early
hour. A few more such days will be a
“settler” under the fifth rib of “Yellow
Jack,” to which he will be obliged to
succumb. —Savannah Republican 29 th inst.
Hog Mortality.—lt seems, says the
■ Hopkinsville, Ky., Mercury , that a
legion of devils have taken possession
of the hogs in Davies, Muhlensberg,
McLean and the adjacent counties. A
gentleman who has been traveling
! through these counties informs us that
the mortality is astonishing. In some
places the dead are piled up by hun
dreds, the air is black with crows, ravens
and buzzards, and the stench is over
powering.
Disappearance.—John Etheridge, for
merly Chief Clerk in the Navy Depart
ment, mytseriously disappeared from
his home in Boston onMonday, the 13th
instant, and has not since been heard of.
From the circumstances surrounding
this affair, it is thought that he has, in
a moment of mental aberration, destroy
ed himself.
“Thanksgiving."—As, on the 26th
of April. 1859, forty years will have
elapsed since the organization of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows up
on this continent; the U. S. Grand
Lodge has set apart that day to be ob
served bv the entire membership under
its jurisdiction, as a day of thanksgiv
ing to Divine Providence for the unex
ampled prosperity which has attended
the Order si nee its organization on the
American continent.
Cotton Moving!—On Saturday the
Girrard & Mobile Railroad brought up
more than five hundred hales of cotton
and the freight train of this eveningis
expected to make to day’s receipts by
the same road about as lartre. A thou
sand bales in two days’ will do for a
“piney woods section,” and its rapid
movement to market from a region
that all was a savage wilderness twenty
years ago, is a striking illustration of
the unparalleled progress of our coun
try.—Columbus Enquirer, 27 1 h inst.
A Law-abiding People.—The citizens
of Milwaukee, Wis., are the most law
abing people in the world. One of them
being asked why so many people were
drowned in their river,replied that it was
on account of an ordinance of the city,
j which forbids swimming in the city
limits. When one of them slipped in,
he recalled the ordinance at once, and
rather than violate it, went cheerfully
to the bottom without a struggle.

Heavy Sentence. —McCary, who was
tried for murder at the recent term of
the Fluvanna county (Va.) Cir
cuit Court, was found guilty of justifia
ble homicide, and was fined $5,000. —
The Judge added to the sentence, twelve
months’ imprisonment in the county
jail.
Female Equestrianism. It is stated j
that Miss Walters, an English equestri

Southern Sports.—The young ladies
of Petersburg, Va., arm themselves
with bows and quivers, and spend their
leisure moments in the pastime of arch
ery; and (adds a crusty old bachelor) leave
their stockings uudarned.
A Large Increase.—The receipts of
cotton at Galveston. Texas, for the year .
just closed exhibit an increase of 48,428 I
bales; the amount for 1857 having been
only 71.399 bales; while for the year
just closed, it has been 119.820.

Tile Value of a Candid Witness.
Some of the queerest incidents which
take place in the court house are brought
about by the obtuseness of witnesses.—
Judge Ludlow had a case of divorce be
fore him last Thursday,at which Active
was a spectator. The plaintiff was aMr
Nicely. Mr. Nicely sued Mrs. Nicely for
a divorce on the ground of crim. con , in
i which a retired sea captain was the al
leged participator. The esse created a
great deal of interest in Philadelphia,
as the parties were well known and
moved in good society. The prosecution
made rather slow work of their case for
some time, when they called up the
last witness, who facilitated matters in
a very unexpected degree. The witness
was a coachman formerly in the employ
of the Nicelys. lie had como down
rough from the backwoods,and was dis
charged because Mrs. Nicely didn't con|
aider him sufficiently stylish. His name
is JerryJSlade. Jerry took bis place in the
witnesses box gave a very knowing look
at the lawyers, bowed to the court, and
told them he was ready. I annex the
examination which followed : “ You
know Mrs. Nicely ?” “Ido.” “And Mr.
Nicely ?” “ Like a book.” “ Now
state to the jury what you know about
this crim. con., case. “ I don’t know any ’
such person as Crim Conn at all. / '
know Mr. Conn Jones, at St. Lawrence i
Hotel. I used to drive team for his ]
father once in the country.” This reply
raised a roar in the court. Judge Lud- '
low crammed a white handkerchief in- \
to his mouth, and almost strangled
himself in the effort to convert a horse
laugh intoa sneeze. While the judge
was doing this, a fat juryman rolled off
his chair in a paroxysm of the
Bftme sort, and split the back of a sear
sucker coat he had on from the waist
band clear up to the collar. The law
yer, having recovered himself from his .
surprise, resumed : “What we wish to '
know, Mr. Slade, is whether you know
of an intimacy between Mrs Nicely and
Captain Bumper?” “ Well,” said Jerry, i
“ I lather guess they was pretty tolera- 1
ble intimate— I should.” “Ah! then,
you think they were intimate,
do you ? What was the nature of that <
intimacy ? State to the jury what you
ever saw pass between them.” “Spon- !
dulix—lots of ’em.” “ Sponduliz /” ex- ;
claimed Judge Ludlow, “ what do
you mean by spondulix ?” “You’re a
pretty judge, you are,” said Jerry,look
ing wisely, “ not to know what spondu
lix is.”
You mus’n’t address the court in ,
that way,” said the lawyer. “ Explain
what you mean when you say that you
saw spondulix passing between Captain
Bumper and Mrs. Nicely.” Here the
lady friends pricked up their ears like
so many mules in a goose pasture.—
“Why,” said Jerry, “spondulix is spend
ing money. When a man ain’t got no
spondulix, he’s broke. I thought every
fool knowed plain English like that.—
You had me jest now on your crim con.,
old feller, but Ireckon I've fetched you on
spondulix /” Had you seen the merry ;
twinkle of Jerry’s eye as he said this, j
you would have followed the example ’
of judge, jury,Active and all hands,and
have indulged in the highest old laugh
you have had this season. In trying to
regain his composure, the counsel for
the defendant took a drink out of a gal
lon ink bottle, and didn’t discover his
mistake till the drippings fell on his
dickey. The examination was then re
sumed. “So you saw Captain Bumper ]
give money to Mrs. Nicely, did you Mr.
Slade?” “ I did, sir.” “How much j
money do you think he gave her ?”
“ Two saw-horses.” “ And what do
you mean by saw-horses ?” “Why x’s, 1
of course—two ten dollar bills.” “And ]
where were the parties when the money
was being transferred ?” “ Coming out |
of the grove back of Gloucester.” “And
do you know the reason why Captain
Bumper gave Mrs. Nicely those two '
saw horses, as you call them ?” “I
don’t sir. I heard him say that them
ere spondulix would buy a silk frock ‘
like Mrs. Wetherell’s and she said yes, j
it would ; but I ain’t a-goin to swear to |
anything more’nthis.” ‘ Did Mrs. Nice
ty's dress appear disordered at the time?” 1
“ Disordered? I guess not. it was d-~d
badly torn, I recollect. Mebby you mean i
that!” “ I do, and am much obliged i
to you for your straightforward ;
testimony. How did you come to see
the parties in the grove ?” “ Well,l was ;
there myself, a lay in’ off under an old -
tree, an’ I seed Mrs. Nicely a-kissin old 1
Captain Bumper, and es you want to know
anything further, jest turn them wimmen out of
court, that’s all !” It is needless to say, i
after this, that Nicely got a verdict.— j
Nicely is a free man, while Mrs. Nicely
is—nobody kuows exactly where. Jerry
has been taken into the employ of Nice- 1
Iv, and made his appearance on Sunday
with more “ spondulix” in his pocket
than he has had before in a whole year. •'
Jerry is now a lion with his compeers, '
who brag upon him as the man who [
stumped one judge and nine attorneys. .
Jerry is as honest as the day is long.—
All the “spoudulix” he has got are
richly earned Long may he wave !

SHINGLE MACHINES
Reduced to a Fraction!
SAMUEL M. KING'S|
Shingle Machine,
Now on exhibition at WM. 11. GOODRICIT S CARP ENTER SHOP , Reynolds-street,
Augusta, Ga ., where it can be seen in operation , from the hours of 8 A. M.
to 1 P. M. , and from 2to6P. M.
THE principle embraced in this Machine corresponds exactly with the old and
wi • ,uowd process of splitting and dressing by hand labor, working directly with the grain
in the timber. It produces an article not liable to warp or check from exposure. This Machine
was patented January sth, 1856, anil has already obtained a celebrity possessed by none other.
The whole Machine can be built for one-third the cost of any other, and will rive and shave from
the bolt from 8,000 to 15,C00 Shingles per day. For this purpose it only requires a Iwo-Horse
Power to work it; at the same time you can make any required length, and it is adjustable to
any required thickness or taper ; it is simple, cheap and durable, any ordinary mechanic can
make it, and a boy may work it.
To Sh'ngle Healers, Lumbermen. Capitalists and Speculators, this Machine is a safe, sure and
profitable investment. We invite all io call and see it in operation. Any further information can
be had by calling on the Patentee or his Agents, one of whom will always be found with the Ma
chine or at the Giobe Hotel.

Augusta, September 8,1858.
Mr. S. M. King—lu compliance with your re
quest, I take pleasure in reporting my experience
in tbe use of one of your Shingle Machines. My
machine is located about seventeen miles below
Augusta, near the Augusta and Savannah Rail
Road ; the material used is cypress ; power, a
small portable engine, on wheels, which can be
conveniently moved from place to place by a
pair of mules or horses. The machine works
admirably, fully up to all you claimed for it, and
far beyond my expectation. This machine is op
erated by one white mail, (having no experience
in the use of machinery) and common planta
tion negroes, it turns out from 7,000 to 12,000
Shingles per day (often working hours) depend
ing entirely upon the supplying of wood to the
machiue. Your ob’t serv’t,
L. HOPKINS.
Augusta, September 8,1858.
Mr. S. M. Kmc— Dear Sir : Your Patent Shin
gle Machine has been in operation at my shop
for two months, and I have watched it closely.
To make Shingles, it far surpasses any machine
I have seen It does its work well, and can, in
my opinion, be made to turn out from ten to fif
teen thousand per day. Its simplicity and its
durability I do not think can be excelled.

MR. & MRS. D. F. GRIFFIN tender
their thanks to the patrons of the Augus
ta Select Academy for the very liberal patron
age bestowed upon it for the past four years, and
they hope by a strict personal attention to their
duties as teachers, to merit a continuance of the
same. , , , .
At the urgent solicitation of many of their
patrons and friends, they have been induced to
change their institution from a mixed to a fe
male school exclusively.
Having been engaged in the business of teach
ing for the last fourteen years, ten of which have
been spent in Augusta and its vicinity, they Hat
ter themselves that, by experience and energy,
they will be able to make this a school of the
first order.
No labor or expense will be spared in giving
their pupils as good, thorough, and practical an
education as can be acquired in tbe best female j
seminaries.
The Course of Studies embraces all the branch
es required in a complete English education,and ,
a thorough preparation for any class in College.
Prof. F. B. MARCHY will take charge of the
classes in the French and Italian languages.
The school rooms are large, convenient, and j
easy of access.
This institution is furnished with a very com
plete set of Geographical and Astronomical Maps,
Charts, Globes, &c. Also, Chemical and Philo
sophical Apparatus fully sufficient to illustrate
those studies.
Pupils wll be admitted at any time, and charg- 1

Mr. James L. Coleman— Dtar Sir .- I have seen
the Shingle Machine of Mr.S. M. King in opera
tion, and from wbat I saw of its performance, I
can safely say that it is the best Shingle Machine
I ever saw, doing its work in the best possible
manner, and being the simplest machine of \be
kind in use, I think it peculiarly adapted to the
successful manufacture of shingles or heading in
the Southern States, where negroes are the most
available open tors ; and if properly attended, I
believe it will cut 12,000 Shingles per day.

never saw one that accomplishes the work as
well, with the sumo economy, or one so simple 1
:in construction, or one so well adapted to be 1
used by inexperienced workmen.
Truly yours, M. J. GILBERT,
Superintendent Augusta Works.
Augusta, Ga., September 9th, 1858.
, I have seen Mr. S. M King’s Shingle Machine
irrive” fi teen shingles within thirty seconds,;
and without hesitation I assert that if well at-'
tended, it will “rive, draw and joint” in the j
jmost complete manner, 15.000 within twelve
hours. It is the best kind of machine for the
purpose that I have seen in motion.
