AUGUSTA, GA: \
Saturday Evening. October », IW3W.
Wo think that newspaper Teports of i
crimes, and premature disclosures of
suspicions, do more than all other caus
es to prevent the certainty of punish
ment in our large cities.
We are also of opinion—and the
opinion is confirmed by daily observa
tion —that our twkich of them tricnd
Courier?) newspapers are too much oc
cupied with “police practices,’’ and
with the doings or misdoings of crimi
nals, to the neglect of many whole
some topics of instruction and enter
tainment.
The above comments we find in the
Charleston Courier of yesterday, noti
cing a paragraph which recently ap
peard in the Dispatch, headed “Police
Practices.’’ We have observed of late,
that the Courier seems inclined to as
sume the position of monitor over the
press in general, but it is a position, in
our humble judgment, it is not well
qualified to fill. The Courier is a good
readable, commercial paper, and is well
conducted, but the ideas it advances
sometimes would suit twenty years ago
much better than the present fast age.
This is only our private opinion public
ly expressed—we mean no offence.

A telegraphic dispatch from Washing

The assumption is, that if the object be
effected, he will return immediately to
Washington, with a convention ; but in
the event of a failure, Com. Shubkick is
to send up a fleet and carry out the dis
tinctly defined policy of the administra
tion. The fleet, after the settlement
of its business with Paraguay, will show
itself at several South American ports,
particularly those which may have un
settled accounts with this country.

The Southern Arithmetic.
We find the following commendation
of Looney’s Arthmctic in the Crusader,
and cheerfully transfer it to our col
umns :
Morcian H. Looney —Dear Sir ■ We
have carefully examined your Arithme
tic, and do .unhesitatingly recommend
it as being the best and most thorough
treatise on the science of numbers that
we have ever seen. It embodies the
essence of all the practical and useful
rules of arithmetic ; excludes the per
plexing and worthless routine of ster
ling money—indeed, all worthless mat
ter which stocks most of our arithme
tics, is judiciously excluded from yours,
and its place supplied with original
ruleß and practical examples, eminently
useful to the student and the wan of
business.
The rules are plain and easily under
stood ; the mode of solution analytical
and practical, rendering the most ab
struse problems easy of solution.
The "Southern Arithmetic was got
ten up by Southerh ability and indue
try, designed by the author to supply
the wants of our schools und peo
ple of the South; therefore, let all
who are in favor of a series of Southern
text books, adopt the “Southern Arith
metic’ ’ as oue of the series.

Tub Dedication at Norfolk.- -A cor
respondent of the Petersburg (Va ) De
press gives the following account of
the dedication of St. Mary’s Church,
Norfolk, Va.:
Hight Mass was said by Bishop McGill,
while that finest production of Mozart,
the grand 12th irmßS, was performed by
the choir.
After the gospel, Bishop Lynch, o
Charleston, S. C., ascended the pulpit,
and read the following \er cs from
the seventh chapter of 2d Paralipome
Don (or Chronicles) 15 : ‘My eyes also
Shall he open, and my ears attentive to
the prayer of him that shall pray in
this place 16: Fori have chosen, and
have sanctified, this place, and my
name may bo there ever, and my eyes
and my heart remain there perpetu
ally'!
The Bishop preached a fervent, elo
quent and very appropriate sermon he
gave a brief account of the trials of the
early Christians and their places of worf
ship; also adverted to the lime, energy
and riches expended by Solomon, in
completing the temple before its con
Herat ion it was hut-a thing of earth—
and said that the name Psalms were real!
at the dedications that took place in this
day as were sung at the cnnseciation of
the Temple of Jerusalem. The ceicmo
nies were finally concluded about half
after one p. m.. and the immense crowd
quietly wended their wav homewa-d -
Througnout, the most perfect order was
observed, and a deep solemnity and im
divided attention seemed to rest upon
the vast congregation.

Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 7th, 1868.
Mr. Editor.— l presume it will not
be amiss if I give you a few items from
the “ Railroad City," inasmuch as it
bids fair soon to be referred to as the
autocrat of Georgia.
Nearly a month has elapsed since
rain has fallen in this place, and I
would venture to assert that there is
not a more dusty mass of animated na
ture in the South, than is daily exhib
ited in our streets. It would seem that
such oppressively warm weather, aided
by the protracted drought, would be
productive of' sickness, however such
is not the case in Atlanta.
The Superior Court is now in session
here, with a crowded docket. The
most important criminal cases, are those
of John Cobb, Jr., and Gabriel Jones,
charged as being particepts criminis, in
the murder of Samuel Landrum, seve
ral months since. Their trial is set for
Tuesday, 12th October.
The revival and its good results are
among the principal topics of interest
here now. When it will terminate is
an “enigma” which time alone can
solve. Its “foot prints" here will be as
indellitle as the history of civilization.
Many Bonis will have the happiness to
refer to 1858 as the period at which they
were rescued from the clutches of Sa
. tan.
I I have to-day visited the “Bolling
Mill” of Messrs. Blake & Scofield, and
I trust you will permit me (disinterest
ed as I am) to use your valuable paper
as a channel through which to commu
nicate to the public a few facts relative
’ to this stupendous enterprise.
e This mill is expected to be in full
3 blast in le6B than a month from this
1 date. Its capacity is 45 tons per day,
8 and ttrey have already a considerable
amount of work engaged. No one
here. I believe, pretends to doubt the
entire success of the undertaking, sim
' ply because it is under the management
1 of men of superior business qualifica
tions. The machinery is of the best
quality, and is being put up by expe
rienced machinists. The mill is well
worth seeing, and those who have vis
ited it, express themßelves amply re
munerated for their pains.
By the way, I notice your enterpris
f ing fellow-townsman, I. H. Stearns, is
just completing his contract of cover
ing the Bolling Mill with mastic roof
ing. We believe he is about to pro
s ceed to Washington City to sink an ar
-1 tesiau well, after which he will proba
- 1! bly graduate in medicine at Pliiladel
phia. What he will do after this, time
| alone will develope.

A well edited daily paper, if it is re

Hurtling of III® S«w Votfc Crystal
I'ttlttCC.
New Yobk, Oct. 6, P. M.—The lire
in tiic Crystal Palace broke out in the
lumber room, and is believed to have i
been the work of an incendiary. The
flames spread with astonishing rapidity,
creating an intense excitement among
the vi itors, of whom some two thou
sand were present. It is feared that
many have been killed.
One dead body has already been ta
ken out. The heat was intense and
the firemen were of no avail, ’lire
whole building was valued at $250,000
and-the contents at double this sum. 1
A Miracle op Honesty —At a party
one evening, several contested the hon
or of having done the most extraordi
nary thing ; a reverned gentleman was
I appointed sole judge of their respective
pretensions.
Ono party produced his tailor's bill,
with a receipt attached to it. A buzz
went through the room that this could
not be outdone, when
f A second proved that he had just ar -
rested his tailor for money that was lent
* him.
“ The palm is his," was the general
. cry, when a third put in his claim.
“Gentlemen,” said he, “1 cannot
’ boast of the feats of my predecessors,
lint I have returned the owners two
umbrellas that they left at our house.”
“ I’ll hear no more !" cried the as
tonished arbitrators. “This is the very
acme of honesty, it is an act of virtue
of which I never knew any one capa
hie The prize ”
“Hold!” cried another. “I’ve
d lie sti I more than that.”
“Impossible!" cried the whole com
-1 pany. “Let us near !"
“ I’ve been taking my paper for
twenty years, and paid for it every year
in arl vaoce.”
He took the prize.
The Murderer of Clark Taylor.—
i The Montgomery Mail learns, on what
it considers goo I authority, that Aiken,
tile brutal murderer of Hibbits, in
i Ui vn les count), not long since, has re
. cent Iv confessed that he alao murdered
‘ Mr. A. G. Tavlor, of Montgomery coun
t\, who wasfound butchered in his own
house liken. we hear, says that he
saw Mr. Taylor receive about $1,500 in
Montgomery, and that therefore he and
two or Ihree others here conspired to
rob and murder him. They lay in am
bush about the premises for two or
th ee nights before he caino home. At
length he came and was murdered ; but
they got no mouey. Aiken says that
the negroes kept the dogs out of the
way for them. This wretch is now ini
Haynevillejail, and will surely be hang-1
ed.
Macon Thirty-live Years Ago. i
We clip the following" opening para
graphs from an interesting historical
sketch of the Presbyterian Church of
Macon, read by the Pastor, Bev. 11. L.
Beck, at the dedication of the new
church building on Sunday, the 12th
ultimo ;
At the beginning of the year 1823, the
only population within the present lim- 1
its of the city of Macon, was on the east
side of the river. Fort Hawkins, no ,
longer garrisoned, was occupied by a
number of families for residences, and
contained one or two Mores. Upon the
level, nearer the river, was a village of
several hundred Inhabitants, called New
Town. The Fort was the Post office of
the village, and a newspaper established
that year in the village was published
from Fort Hawkins.
In February, 1828, a new town was
laid out on the west side of the river, to
be the seat of justice of the new comity
of Bibb, created by the legislature the
preceding year, out of portions of the
counties of Monroe and Houston. This
town was called Macon, in honor of Hon.
Nathaniel Macon, of North Carolina.—
The first sale of lots was made in the
following month. In December, of the
same year, the town was incorporated,
the act of incorporation including the
places on both sidesof the river in one.
The town of Macon grew with great
rapidity, having within five years from
itR incorporation attained a population
of more than three thousand:
The first place for public worship was
the court house, a small wooden build
ing about thirty-five by forty-five feet,
not sealed or plastered, which stood on
the corner of Mulberry and Third streets.
This, for several years, was the preach
ing place of ministers of all the several I
denominations, who occasionally
cd, or were thrown transiently in the
place. In this room, on the 18th day
of June, 1826, twenty five persons a
. considerable portion of whom were |
gaLhered from the surrounding country
—were organized into a Presbyterian j
Church, by Bev. Benj. Gildersleeve and:
Bev. Joseph C. Stiles. Os these twenty-!
five original members the greater por
tion have been called to their places in
the Church triumphant. Whilst several |
survive, only one remains in connection i
with the Church.
The Exchange Bank of Griffin. —
The Governor has directed the Solicitor
General of this circuit to institute pro
ceedings against this bank,for the pur
pose of having itR charter declared for
feited as the law directs. The proceed
ings, we learn, have been instituted on ;
the complaint of Mr. Jones, the Editor j
of the Augusta Chronicle k Sentinel, the
bank having proved defaulter on a de- j
mand madeliy him upon the redemp-j
tion of one of its one dollar “ promises!
to pay.” Fatal default on the part of j
that institution, for “Wild Cats” are!
an abomination in the sight of the Ed- j
itor the Chronicle, who tolerates hank:
suspensions only when the tame species I
are guilty thereof! No mercy will be
shown this little monster in our city.—
His Excellency and Brother Jones being
both after it with a sharp stick, it must!
surrender its charter, and had best do;
so without a struggle. Our city will bei
lid of it, at which all identified with
her interests should rejoice. Banks, ■
like the one referred to, are an injury,
to any place in which one is unfortun-;
utely located. In their establishment, j
generally, the chances of failure are
duly considered, and good care is taken
in advance that the bill holders alone
shall suffer. To forfeit their charters is
but poor punishment for the swindling
which they perpetrate upou those who
hold their “promises to pay.”

Important from Japan. —The Paris
Pays publishes intelligence from Japan
to the 10th of July, according to which;
the authorities were doing all in their
power for the faithful execution of the
terms of the treaties. An imperial de- j
cree authorized the erection of cominer- j
eial exchanges at Simoda, Nangaska, j
and Hakodadi, and appointed a number
of merchandise brokers to facilitate!
commercial intercourse with the various!
nations included in the treaties.
It will be recollected that the Ameri-i
cans presented a railroad and a telegraph j
to the Emperor. The latter has been ]
put up by a Japanese engineer,and is in)
successful operation. It is five leagues |
m length. The Emperor is so well
pleased with the invention that he has
oidorcd telegraphic communication to
be estabished between Jeddo and the j
Provinces of Gokiuaih, Tokaido.Fekuro |
Kudu, Sangodo. and Saikaido. An j
American house established at Simoda |
lias offered to furnish the requisite ma
terials.
The most important act of the reign- j
■ing Emperor is the revocation of the'
edict against the Christians issued by the
Emperor Daia-Fusam in .1614. Iu future \
foreign agents accredited at Japanese!
ports, will be privileged to bring with
them one or more Christian preachers, ■
for their own and their countrymen's;
benefit.

kard, a Presbyterian minister, died in
. Casswell county, N. C., on the 11th ult.
Rev. J. 1. Parker, a minister of the
- Protestant Episcopal Church, died at

Among the indictments found by the
grand jury of Pulaski county, Va., was
one against two men, one a Baptist
preacher, and the other a member of

which offence being considered contrary
to the good morals of the common
wealth, they were all presented.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
have ordered twenty station indica
tors, to be placed on the cars of that
road. The indicator is so arranged that,
after passing a station, the conductor
pulls a cord and the name of the next
station appearß. The sound of a bell
calls the attention of the passengers to it.

the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralysed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created iu the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by tbe
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down aud dispirited by that
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack oi;
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain <
or disability arising from the unnaturalcondltion j
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
cry member with the source of sensation, mo
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit!
from the useof this Cordial, which at once calms, |
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous j
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous iu •
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that j
woman has ever received from the hards of
medical men. ,
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir, has a direct, im-,
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite j
While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid material:
which is to bo subjected to their action. As an .
appetiser it has no equal iu the Pliarmacopia.
If long lile and the vigor necessary to its en* j
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed oi,
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
man of business, the victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general de
bility or from the weakness ot a single organ j
will all find immediateand permanent relief from'
the use of tb’S incomparable renovator. To
thOse who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete aud unfailing safe guard
against that terrible malady. There are many
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond tbe reach
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
erence to the causes, and will not only remove
tbe disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution.

, Seth W. Fowi.e—Sir : You are at liberty to use j
the following statement for the benefit ol the as-;
flicted:
1 was attacked with the liver Complaint, <
which apparently brought me to the brink ot
j the grave. During my sickness I was attended
! by three physicians in our place, but received
|no help. I also tried the various remedies re-
I commended for such complaints, but they as-.
i forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was
j persuaded to try Wutar's Balsam of Wild.
i Cherry , and by using four bottles I was restored 1
| to better health than I have enjoyed before for
’| ten years. This statement may be relied upon
: us strictly true. Betsey Perris.
The above certificate was given in the pre
’ \ sence of Dr. A. Strong, ol Honesdale, who is well
r known in his vicinity us a successful practitioner.

Hr Prof. Wood, 312 Broad
way, is ruining the Hair Dye trade. People
1 will not use dyes when a natural restoration to
■ the original color of the hair can be produced by
natural remedies. Dyes are artificial agents,.
■ and dangerous in their application, but WOOD’S
HAIR TONIC is a healthy stimulant, and causes
a healthy growth. A growth of gray hair on n
i young pcr.-><in’s head is unnatural, and to apply
a coloring fluid produces an unnatural result:
the color is changed, to bo sure, but not through
the roots of tile hair. Ladles, do you see tb it
j geranium plant in the window yonder? how yel
i low and faded it looks? It is alive and growing;
1 j yet where is the beautiful, rich, dark green that
l j belongs to it? Gone. You can color those leaven
! j by an external application of chemicals, but
| they will not remain colored. Do you desire to
do it naturally ? Make a solution of guano water,
1 apply it to the roots, and the plant will take it
up into the system, and then you will see a rich
green, permanent hue. Professor Wood’s Hair
1 Tonic works on the same principle. The roots
of the hair drink up that application, and high
health and beauty result.
Cactio.n —Beware of worthless imitations, as
several are already in the market, called by dif
ferent names. Use none unless the words (Pro
fessor Wood's Hair Restorative, Depot St I/mia.
