MINOR LOCALS.
Freightage, taxes the capacity of our
railroads.
The atmosphere was pleasant last
evening, and Luna wore her most en
gaging aspect.
Jupiter Sluvius opened his flood
gates on Tuesday night, and the dust
has been most effectually laid.
The fall travel southward via At
lantic Coast Line, is steadily increasing,
and bids fair to be heavier than last
year.
The Cotton Exchange in New York
was closed until 11 o’clock yesterday, in
consequence of the death of F L.
Rich.
A slander suit between two well
known citizens will be one of the inter
esting features before the County Court
this morning.
At the minstrel performance last
night the conundrum was put, “Why
are our police so pious?” “Because
they have a Christian for a chief.”
As the police paid no attention to the
duellists, they concluded that arrest
being improbable, they would not come
down.
The old buildings on the site where
the new post office is to be built are be
ing demolished, and in a few days the
uew building will be commenced.
The dearth of fires frets the spirits
of some of our gallant firemen. “ It’s
an ill wind that blows nobody good,”
quotes our insurance agents in reply.
The schooner “May Morn”, Captain
A. Phinny, II days out from Baltimore,
after a stormy passage has arrived on
Port Royal “safe and sound”, with a
cargo of Guano, consigned to Gen. M.
A. Stoval of this city.
Anew sort of seat was observed in
one of the cars of the South Carolina
Railroad yesterday. It is of the re
clining style similar to a barber’s chair,
easily regulated, and one calculated to
be very popular with the travelling
public.
We understand that a car load of
Kaolin was shipped from Berzelia per
Georgia Railroad to St. Loifis. This
may be a source of considerable rev
enue to the people of this county if
energetically pushed. This car load
was ordered by our former fellow citi
zen Capt. Stovall, and was shipped at
most liberal terms by the Georgia Rail
road, Superintendent Johnson, who
is at all times ready to aid in develop
ing the resources of the country.
There will be a quarterly meeting
of the Board of Education at the City
Hall, next Saturday. The Commission
er’s report will be read, and matters
of very great importance to the educa
tional interest of this county, will be
discussed.
Buiming of a Blacksmith Shop.
A blacksmith shop belonging to a ne
gro named Jackson, situated miles
from Augusta on the Washington Road,
was burned to the ground at pn early
hour Tuesday morning. It was sup
posed to have been set on fire. Nothing
remairs but the anvil.
Attempted Suicide.
About noon yesterday, a well known
shoe dealer visited Kendrick’s drug
store, and asked that five grains of
morphine be furnished him. Dr. Ken
drick having a suspicion that the man,
who had been drinking, wished the
drug for an illicit purpose, asked what
he wished it for. Reply was made that
having the neuralgia, he w’shed to
put it in a pitcher of water and
take a spoonful every three hours.
This answer being satisfactory, the
morphine was handed him. After the
departure of the man, Dr. Kendrick feel
ing uneasy about the matter proceeded
to the shoe-dealer’s store and informed
one of the employees that he feared
the morphine purchaser intended sui
cide. The clerk hastened out and
found his employer in a neighboring
saloon, on the point of raising a glass
to his lips that contained whiskey in
which was mixed the fatal drug. Dash
ing the glass to the floor he induced
the shoe-dealer to return home, and a
watch was placed over him.

Our merchants have made extensive
purchases in New York for the fall and
winter trade, and a visit to their maga
zine shows that a novelty in laces is
furnished this season in a combination
of Duchesse and point, or Duehesse
and Valenciennes; the groundwork of
the fabric being of Duchesse with me
dallions and figures of the point, or
Valencieunes. Occasionally, a piece of
web shows all three of these varieties,
though as a general thing the combina
tion comprises but two. A creamy
white lace known as Russian lace, and
largely introduced in the garniture of
dressy hats, is another novelty, as
is also a black Russian lace,
not unlike the Spanish in make.—
Valenciennes lace, always ala mode
because of its adaptability, in its wide
range of qualities, to any toilette, is
much used in handkerchiefs, which
show fresh designs in the arrangement
of the borders and insertions. A favor
ite style for the former is a double
ruffle of wide lace, and a double ruffle
of linen cambric edged with narrow
lace. The insertions are made to form
figures and medallions instead of run
ning around the handkerchief in par
allel rows. Double ruffles are not con
fined to the lace handkerchiefs, but are
a frequent border to linen ones. Some
times embroidery and sometimes col
ored linen cambric furnishes them.
Two inches is the approved widtli
for a plain, hem-stitched border.
Ordinary neck-scarfs, much narrower,
in the several black laces, are worn for
both house and street. Lace barbs, al
ways convenient and tasteful, are
brought out in exquisite materials and
designs. Fichus are smaller than here
tofore, and more like a deep collar or
cape. Sleeveless jackets retain their
place, but do not exhibit any novelties.
All manner of pretty devices in neck
ties were seen in the stores, and fur
nished a number of entirely new styles.
They come wider than before, and long
enough to tie about the neck. Ties in
anew silk material called silver cloth
(probably from the silvery sheen,) in
white, pink and a delicate blue, with
ends of the new lace, French organdy
ones, finished with Chantilly lace and
black silk grenadines, also silk grena
dines in soft colors, with white lace
ends, are among the novelties in this
article.
Cuffs are made smaller and do not
flare as much as the imported ones.
This tendency to diminution is owing
to tho small dress sleeves which no
longer admit of a wide flaring under
cuff. In colored lingerie, a novelty ex
ists in Grecian patterns, and plaids
worked in colored embroidery cottons.
These sets are usually accompanied
with organdy neck ties, embroidered to
match. Embroidered sets in white are
offered in a great diversity of patterns,
while those ornamented only with the
old-time hem-stitched borders are also
fashionable.
Boots for fair weather promenade,
are furnished with cloth uppers, show
undefined checks and lines, but the
regular winter walking boots have their
uppers of French kid or heavier
leather, with extension soles and the
broad English heel. Waterproof boots
come with calf or kid uppers, morocco
foxings and double cork soles. These
do away with the necessity of over
shoes of any kind, and are (owing to
the cork soles,) as light as an ordinary
shoe. Snow bools, designed for travel
ing and continued exposure to the
weather, button on one side and extend
nearly to the knees; there are also
waterproof.
Slippers of French kid show tho
square or round box toe and Louis XV.
heel, which heel, by the way, is found
on most of the fashionable house and
dress shoes, the broad English heel
being reserved, with the extension sole,
for regular walking boots. Slippers
are cut higher this season and are
ornamented with full velvet bows aud
pearl and steel buckles. Bronze slip
pers, with their delicate inlaid embroi
deries, are permitted only with a morn
ing toilette,
Military.
A. J. Twiggs has been chosen Orderly
Sergeant of Company B, Oglethorpe
Infantry. Sergeant Twiggs comes from
a family distinguished in the military
annals of the South, his grand-uncle
being General David Twiggs, and his
father, Colonel Twiggs, bore a conspicu
ous part in the late war as an officer of
the Confederate army. Sergeant Twiggs
is a graduate of the Virginia Military
Institute. Success to him !

Georgia Minstrels.
Last evening, the Georgia Minstrels
composed of colored men, gave a per
formance at Girardey’s Opera House.
It being a first performance, it was
natural to expect some stiffness and
mistakes, but on the whole they gave
evidence of considerable natural talent.
The audience was a fair one in size, and
appeared to be satisfied. A quartette
was a pleasing feature of the entertain
ment, the tenor particularly having a
very good voice, and one of com
pass which practice will undoubtedly
develop. The troupe are better in those
things which exhibit the darkey in his
natural element, and if they will stick
close to this line, they will no doubt do
better than trying the higher raDge
of minstrelsy. Jennings and Horton,
the clog dancers, were good. Priest
Thomas, the comedian, caused con
siderable merriment, and Carr, one of
the end men (bones), was excellent.
To-night, the troupe give another per
formance at tho same place.
A woman is very like a kettle, if you

The teller confessed he did not. “Then,”
said Mr. Smith, “it is evident that you

A Clergyman Refuses to Confer w r ith
Moody and Sankey.
The Rev. Joseph A. Seiss, Pastor of
the Evangelical Lutheran Church of
the Holy Communion, Philadelphia,
has written a letter protesting against
the unauthorized use of his name as
one of a committee of pastors repre
senting the various Evangelical
churches of that city to confer with
Messrs. Moody and Sankey, the revi
valists, in regard to their proposed
visit to Philadelphia. Of the revival
ists, Mr. Seiss says:
“They may be very sincere, benevo
lent and well-meaning men, and may be
trying to do what they can according
to their notions and impulses. But, as
they are not clergymen, and belong to
a class of operators who prefer to exer
cise ministerial functions apart from
ministerial authority and responsibili
ties or the ordinary guarantees justly
demanded in such cases, declining the
restraints of the care which they yet
propose to exercise after the freedom
of their own self-will for our extraor
dinary benefit, order and the conserva
tion of proper Christianity demand that
people should beware how they
arrange, in the name of evan
gelical churches, to commit the
most sacred interes's of mankind,
e/en temporarily, to the spasmodic
waves and irregularities of a little pop
ular furore, headed by a few zealous
and irresponsible men. The extraordi
nary evangelistie power and commis
sion which your demonstrations award
to these men, and on the virtue of
which it is that the ‘representative
clergy and laity of the city’ are asked,
and, nolev s volens, marshalled out, to
stand as godfathers and body guard
for a series of unwholesome experimen
tations with honest people’s religious
emotions, also super-exalts them so far
above the laws and proprieties to which
I feel obligated that it would likely be
dampening to their spirit and hinder
ing to their doings were my counsels
and convictions to prevail in the con
templated arrangements for their ex
pected advent. Hence, gentlemen, I
beg thus publicly to return to you the
distinguished appointment which you
have tendered me.”

Medical Adviser, in plain English; or, Med

Counsellor-in-Chief of the f f.ard of Physi

struggle with its inherent weaknesses and
diseases, to bear or cure, is s benefactor.
Ignorance is not only of itl lf a cause of
disease and mortality, but 9, is the enemy
of every effort to cure or mi agate. Nothing
will so speedily remove this Muse as knowl
edge—an elementary one, ; least—of the
diseases to which w : are ijur, as well as
those supei induced by own impru

diagnosis of the diseases tr‘sited of, and in
tho presentation of the philosophic princi

that it is shut up beyond i he domain of
warning to all but uhysiciai, so accursed
in its results in modern soei ty, he is most
