The latter gen tleman is still running the machine. W< were misinformed when we made a note otherwise a day or two since. The Richmond Hussars, Maj. Jos. B. Cumming commanding, made their usual monthly parade, mounted, last evening. As usual, they looked splen did, and drilled with true soldierly pre cision. Georgia Railroad. The admirable manner in which the very heavy excursion trains over the Macon branch and main line of the Georgia Rai l oad have been handled by the employees of that corporation, during Fair time, without a single acci dent, has been the general theme of praise with the thousands who travel led over the road. Such skilful man agement, reflects the highest credit upon S. K. Johnson, Esq., Superinten dent, the conductors and other em ployees of the Georgia Railroad. A Villainous Act. Day before yesterday, Mr. Terry, of South Carolina, came to Augusta to at tend to some business. After transact ing his business, he thought he would partake of a little “red eye,” which got his head in a wandering state, and after dark, he went over to Hamburg, and w;is arrested by Allen Attaway and Charles Harden, town marshals; the former is also County Commissioner of Aiken county. They took the man to the river, and, it is alleged, robbed him of 335, his hat and other articles, and threatened to throw him in the river if he made any noise. While they were there, a negro from Augusta passed, wbom they recognized, and they fired at him to scare -him off. Mr. Terry, after being released, came to Augusta, and yesterday morning went over to Hamburg, and had a warrant taken out for the parties referred to, and they were bound over to the next term of the Superior Court. If the charge of robbery can be sustained, it is to be hoped these two black rascally officials will spend a term of years in prison. Condition of Hon. A. H. Stephens. A visit was made yesterday to Craw fordviile, by a representative of the Con stitutionalist, who ascertained that the “Great Commoner” is still in a condition to excite the apprehensions of his friends. "Dr. Steiner was hastily sum moned to bis bedside on Saturday night last, and remained in close attendance until Wednesday night Dr. Kent was with Mr. Stephens when our represent ative visited “Liberty Hall.” Painters are engaged in painting the outside of the house, and the interior has evi dently just been painted and renovated. The writer is a sufferer from colic where ever painters are using whit? paint, and the idea occurred to him, that the ill ness of Mr. Stephens might be traced to this cause. Still, Dr. Steiner, from his diagnosis of the case, decides that his patient is suffering from a neuralgic affection of the chief organs of the stomach, and it was reported yesterday, gouty symptoms have manifested themselves. No person outside of Mr. Stephens’ family circle, are permitted to visit him, as it only excites him. Any cause which occasions excitemem to him, rushes his pulse up to 110, and as the healthy normal pulse is from 60 to 75, our readers can judge of his con dition. Doses of morphine, of about one-eighth of a grain, are adminis tered to give him relief from the pain he naturally suffers. Major Miller, his secretary, informed our representative that the second attack occured last Saturday as Mr. Stephens was chatting with some friends, especially in relation to his la bors on Johnson’s Encyclopedia, which has alreadv reached the letter “M.” Tne discussion of all subjects likely to excite Mr. Stephens, have been tabooed since he was first attacked. Every one having the welfare of the country— particularly the South —at heart, can ikt but view with intense interest the stato of Mr. Stephens’health, for his opinions at this juncture of affairs, will be invaluable in pointing out the true course for patriots to pursue. Notice. —Eor the convenience of cus tomers, the Globe Hotel Barbershop and Bath Booms will be kept open every Sunday, from 6 o clock a. m., to 10 a. m. Sheridan & Mack. One of the most re lined variety en tertainments which has visited Augus te., is that of Sheridan & Mack, who, under the novel title of “ The Mimiques,” last night, gave a fine per formance at the Opera House, to a very good audience. We remember, but a short time since, Sheridan & Mack’s performance was given in a style suit ed to please the groundlings, but there is a noticeable change in the right di rection. The character songs and changes were original; the rapidity of the execution and faithfulness of the portraits of Lee and Stonewall Jack son in crayons was surprising; the musical proficiency of J. D. Kelly was exhibited in a variety of ways, espe cially in playing a violin in a dozen dif ferent positions, none of them laid down in the school of instruction for that instrument. Sheridan & Mack were excellent, of course, as were also Miss Belle Howitt, Miss Rosa Leigh, Miss Alecia Jourdan, and the gentle men of the troupe. Another perform ance will be given to-night. Personal. Brigadier General Thomas W. Swee ney, TJ. g. A., (retired,) has arrived with his amiable lady and family to remain here during the winter months. The General is quartered at the Globe Hotel, and has received many calls from our citizens, who respect him for the manly course he took while commanding this District during the reign of terror un der Radical rule It will be remem bered that the Radicals charged Gen eral Sweeney with being too partial to our oppressed people. General Swee ney expressed regret, that he was un able to be at Macon to on Wednesday, in the meeting of the Vet erans of the Mexican War. In that war (1846), he bore a gallant part and lost an arm there. General Sweeney is now entirely relieved for the balance of his life from active duties. Our citi zens cannot fail to welcome such a dis tinguished and honest gentleman to our city. First Baptist Church. Dr. J. H. Mclntosh preached in the new Lecture Room of the First Baptist Church last evening, from the text of II Corinthians, v chap, and 2lst vs.; “ For He hath made him to be sin lor us, who knew no sin ; that we may be made the righteousness of God in him.” The doctrine of substitution was evolved with as much power and sim plicity as is given to man. His sermon was one of those efforts that speak to the heart. For elegance of style, earnestness of manner and power of conviction, the Doctor’s sermon will long be remem bered, and will be a reminder to make “ our lives sublime ” by words of love and deeds of kindness. The Doctor ha3 our best wishes in his work. An Efficient Police. It must be a bold man—in light of the splendid order prevailing in our oity—who would assert, that our police was not one of the most efficient on this continent. The statistics of crime show that at no time since the city was incorporated, has the criminal record been so light as at present. Thanks, Chief Christian, and Messrs, policemen, for your efficiency! Communication. Mr. Editor: Inasmuch as the canal is built, and the bulkhead almost com pleted, would it not be well for “Many Voters” to tell the people of Augusta where the foreign capital is that was to be brought here to build it? Those foreign capitalists would surely prefer investing their money in factories than in a canal. Now the canal is nearly built, without foreign capital, and the next best thing to do is to build up Au gusta. Give the public your informa tion, “Many Voters,” and oblige A Tax Payer.

It has given us books of fiction for the sentimentalist, learned books for the scholar and professional student, but few books for the people. A book for the people must relato to a subject of universal inteiest. Such a subject is the physical man, and such a book ‘‘The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser,” a copy of which has been recently laid on our table. The high professional attainments of its author—Dr. B. Y. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y.,—and the advantages derived by him irom an extensive practice, would alone in sure for his work a cordial reception. But these are not the merits for which it claims our attention. The author is a man of the people. He sympathizes with them in all their afflictions, efforts, and attain ments. He perceives their want—a knowl edge of themselves —and believing that all truth should be made as universal ofj God’s own sunlight, from his fund of learning and experience he has produced a work in which he gives them the benefits of his labors. In it he considers man in every Dhase of his existence, from the moment he emerges “from a raylese atom, too di minutive for the sight, until he gradually evolves to the maturity of those Conscious Powers, the exercise of which furn ishes subjective evidence of our immor tality.” Proceeding upon the theory that every fact of mind has a physical antece dent, he has given an admirable treatise on Cerebral Physiology, and shown the bear ing -of the facts thus established upon indi vidual and social welfare. The Author be lieve? with Spencer, that “as vigorous health and its accompanying high spirits are larger elements of happiness than any other things whatever, the teaching how to maintain them is a teaching that yielns to no other whatever,” and accordingly has introduced an extensive discussion of the methods by which we may preserve the integrity of the system and' lifetimes pre vent the onset of disease. Domestic Rem edies—their preparation, uses, and effects— form a prominent feature or the work. The hygienic tr atment, or nursing of the sick, is an important subject, and receives at tention commensurate with its importance. Nearly all diseases “to which flesh is heir" are described, their symptoms aua causes explained, and proper domestic treatment suggested. To reciprocate the many favors bestowed upon him by a generous public, the author offers his book at a price ($1.50) little exceeding the cost of pub lication. Our readers can obtain this prac tical and valuable work by addressing the author.— [New York Tribune. octl9-tuthsa&clw The Maintenance of Health.—The maintenance of health is often more difficult than its recovery. Vitiated conditions of the atmosphere, un healthy occupations, extremes of heat or cold, and constant exposure to rough weather, are all so many provo cations of disease. There is but one sure way of effectually guarding the system when thus subjected to influ ences, prejudicial to health, and that is to establish, by judicious tonic and alterative medication, vigor of the body and regularity of its functions. The properties of an lnvigorant and cor rective are happily combined in Hos tetter’s Stomach Bitters,, which, at the same time that it infuses unwonted vitality into the system, overcomes all tendency of the atomach, liver, bowels and urinary organs to deviate from regularity in the discharge of functions upon which the welfare of the entire physical organization is dependent. Health cannot be more effectually maintained chan by using the Bitters. oc!9-eodlw. FINANCE AND TRADE. WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE AU GUSTA MARKETS. Constitution a list Office, ! 6 o'clock P. M., October 22,1875. f Remarks. Business continues good and shows an improvement from week to week. If the price of cotton continues to get higher, we may look for an average Fall trade, while to the contrary, should prices decline, we cannot expect a good trade as it will take all or more than the planters have made, to pay their debts. While compared with the same time last year, the business of this week, is not solactive or extensive, yet it has been much better than our merchants some weeks back hoped for. Bacon is in good demand, bat prices in sympathy with Western markets, have somewhat weakened, and we may look for a still further decline as the time is fast ap proaching for the new crop to be-marketed. Wheat is in active demand for choice lots, while inferior lots are dull, a heavy stock being on hand here. Corn is dull and nominal, while Oats are in good retail demand. Bagging continues in good demand and the same can be said of cotton ties. Flour is fairly steady with demand suffi cient to absorb offerings. Our city mills have a line field to operate in, owing to the small amount of Western Flour now being shipped here. The rapid sales of cotton as it arrives, ex hibits a marked effect on the business of Augusta, and cause? a general activity that would not otherwise have been shown. The planters sending cotton to market, show a disposition to realize at once and settle with their factors and others whom they owe. As we have a number of times before stated of late in this < olumn, there is a gen eral disposition on the part of planters and farmers to act on a cash basis entirely, and hence our merchants will all the better be enabled to give better terms to their custo mers, and as a necessary consequence fewer or no failures iu business will occur. Augusta has been singularly fortunate since the late financial panic, in having so few failures of business men to occur in its midst; and this, we are sure, can be attrib uted to the fact, that our merchants work on a substantial basis, and are not scared off from this policy by the cry of “old fogy ish,” applied to the city by outsiders. The Dry Goods Market during the week, has been fairly steady, but the trade has not been quite so good, in a jobbing way, as at the same time last year. Country merchants, as a rule, buy cautiously, pay ing cash as far as possible or giving good collateral. Their cautiousness reflects, in a great measure, the disposition of the people in the country about Augusta to economize as 110011 as possible in the pur chase of all household articles. Our mer chants are showing their willingness to meet this spirit of economy on the p.irt of their customers by charging as little as possible above the cost of the goods sold by them—in fact merely making a living profit. We think Augusta can offer greater advantages to merchants in the sections of country tributary to this city and in a long distance beyond—than any other city in the interior of Georgia and South Carolina. Augusta is one of the leading interior cotton markets of the South and it is to her interest to sell all goods at the lowest prices. The line weather that has prevailed this week has caused many planters and far mers from neighboring counties to come to town and lay in their winter supplies before the fall rains set in. - CALL AT THE AUGUSTA EXCHANGE—I P.

In his Flavoring Extracts the characteristic taste and freshness of the real fruit is preserved, and by his process so highly concentrated that but a small quantity is required to im part their peculiar flavor to any article in which they may be used. Ladies that wish something superior in the way of flavoring extracts or baking power should purchase Dr. Price’s, for we can assure them that they have no equals.

With Maps and Engravings. Complete in Sixteen Valumes. Edited by GEO. RIPLEY and CHARLES A. DANA. THE NECESSITY FOR A CYCLOPEDIA: Every one that reads, every one that min gles in society, is constantly meeting with allusions to subjects on which he needs and desires further information. In conver sation, in trade, in professional life, on the farm, in the family, questions are contin ually arising, which no man, well-read or not, can always satisfactorily answer. If the facilities for reference are at hand, they are consulted, and not only is the curiosity gratified and the stock of knowledge in creased, but perhaps information is gained and ideas are suggested that will directly contribute to the business success of the party concerned. But how are these facilities for reference to be had ? How are the million to pro cure a Library ? How are they to obtain the means of informing themselves on every point -n which they may be interest ed; of satisfying themselves with respect to persons and places, questions of art and science, reiigion and politics, literature an philosophy, agriculture, commerce, and manufactures V How can the working man hope to bring within bis reach the whole circle of sciences, and every point of human knowledge as developed up to the present m< meat ? W e answer, by sub scribing to the AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA A Cyclopaedia is pre-eminently tne work for our country and generation. No one lias time to grope among a hundred differ ent works lor ever.i fact required, withe- t the certainty of finding it at last. W’ ' Cyclopaedia, embracing every J v , norf . int subject, and having its topics - mhahetierLl ly arranged, not a mom*-; Tho matter in question >' found at once di gested, stripped of all that is irrelevant *Vnd unnecessary, and verified D ‘vi i c<>a ' Vii-rison of the best authorities. Moreover, while only meu of fortune can collect a library complete in all the depart ments of Knowledge, a Cyclopmeia, worth I hi it self, for purposes of reference, at least, a thousand volumes, is within the reach. of all—the clerk, the merchant, the profes sional man, the farmer, the mechanic. In a country like ours, where the humblest may be called to responsible positions re quiring intelligence and general informa tion, the value of such a work cannot be over-estimated. HOW TO GET A LIBRARY. The “American Cyclopaedia” is In fact a library in itself. It is a knowledge of the centuries boiled down;, the essence of a jl books crystalized. It stands on the she’ ves ready to answer briefly every conceivable question in physics, history, polities ’ art philosophy, and what not; to furnish pre cisely the information wanted on almost every possible subject; to turn your child ren’s wide-eyed wondering into the best of schoolmasters; to make of every question sprung in the family oiicle an instructive lesson; to convert your guesses into posi tive knowledge; to give you in brief para graphs the result of other men’s years of toilsome investigation. It is everything in little, and no skill is necessary to the raid ing of the particular thing its owner mav happen to want. It is far more truly one of the necessaries of life than are many of the tilings which we commonly mean bv that phrase. The work lias been entirely rewritten by the ablost writers on every subject, printed from new type, and illustrated with seve ral thousand engravings and colored lith graphie maps. It is issued every two months, beginning July, 1873, and will be completed in sixteen volumes —ten volumes now ready—which are payable only upon the delivery of each volume, so that the cost, wnieh prevents most people from buying a Cyclopaedia, is thus divided W, small instalments, which will be scarcely noticed. It is not obligatory to take r, the volumes now published upon al i deliverery; a volume qh” ' oucea ' ~, -- oe delivered te ~*onui, or Ouce in two months. >*7 optit nof the subscriber.
