Last night, a colored man named T. H. Walker brought to our office the advertisement of the nomination of a colored man for Councilman in the Fourth Ward. He stated that the nomination had been made at a large meeting held at Gardner’s Park, and that the meeting also agreed to sup port Colonel C. V. Walker and Dr. M. J. Jones. The original resolution which we saw, contained the names of the above named gentlemen, but we presume, without their knowledge or consent, as the bearer of the advertise ment stated he did not wish their names published with the notice. ••Music Notice.” It will be seen, from our advertising columns, that Miss Mattie Morgan, of Washington, Ga., will arrive In our city next month for the purpose of giving instruction in vocal music. The notice states that she has been under the care of a celebrated teacher in New York, who has well qualified her for training singers. Of the lady herself, there is no need for us to speak. She has among our people friends without num ber, who cheerfully recognize the skill ful energy, pleasing social attractions and “gift or song” of which she is pos sessed, and we do not question but they will join each other in the hope that her success may be all she desires and so highly merits. Personal. T. E. Gilbeit associate editor of the Sumter Watchman , S. C., called at our sanctum yesterday, but our absence prevented our meeting him. We were sorry not to have had an opportunity of conversing with the gentleman about the affairs of his down-trodden State. G. H. Yan Wormer, the advance agent of Hall’s Combination, we are glad to note, is still with them. He was offered inducements to travel for anpther Company. Hall’s Combination is fortunate in keeping the services of so valuable an agent. Among the many gentlemen attend ing thoraces we note John E. Benton, William Harrison, Homer Sturges, B. A. Embree, W. H. Murry, Benjamin Reese, Hon. Jno. H. Scott, G. B. Sut ton, from McDuffie county; T. H. Rem senof Lincoln county; Geo. W. Gray, Oliver Hardy, Judge James Harris, R. J. Blunt, Peter Wright, George A. Zachary Hon. S. C. Lamkin, S. A. Gib son and George A. Hill, of Columbia county, (who, rumor says, is the comiDg man for member of the Legis lature from Columbia county), were in the city yesterday. P. McCormick the Agent of the Royal Yeddo Japs is in town, arranging for the presentation of his company to our people. He represents a first class company. An “Intellectual Combat.” A correspondent of the Covington Star thus speaks of an Augusta insti tution : The heavy deliberations frequently had at the meetings of the Augusta Exchange always elicit the most learned and philoso phic reflections on the vaned subjects of financial import. In keeping with this high spirit of Intellectual combat, an important question was sprung and hotly contested by two dignified bankers at a meeting who, ignoring the silly and unimportant little requisitions of parliamentary usage, and the fastidious idea of ordinary decorum. elevated themselves to the exalted state of persona’ities, and would absolutely have attained the grandeur of a personal alter cation, but for the rude and untimely inter ference of other more practical and leas pthenal members. THE JOCKEY CLUB RACES. Fine Sport Yesterday—Every One De lighted With the Races—Brisk Pool Selling—To-Day’s Programme. Considering the dullness of the times and the scarcity of money, there was manifested an unusual degree of spirit in the betting line, by the owners and backers of stock, particularly in the races of yesterday. Both at pool-sell ing at the Globe the evening before, and immediately before the races yes terday, the speculations for both races were lively indeed. The first race—a dash of one mile— was certainly a beautiful event of the kind, considering the fact that the en tries were only two years old. And from the recorded time made, it will be seen that the contestants are very promising stock, and the own ers have good reason to feel well satisfied at the result. About half-past 2 o’clock p. m., the horses came to the string to receive their errand of speed, and from the appearances made, many and varied were the criticisms of the “knowing ones." Libbie L. being the favorite, she having had a splendid record from her race in Charlotte, was of course the conjectured winner; but the chestnut filly seemed to have a i good share of admirers, among them first-class judges of horseflesh. This being her first trial, and only a baby I in arena of the turf, little could be ex pected from her first effort, but she more than surprised her admirers by her effort yesterday. The boy who rode her deserves a special notice, as he showed splendid nerve in his man agement of her. Johnnie B, was in good condition, and proved himself a very promising colt. He and Libbie L. had the advantage of being better worked than the filly, and they placed it to their credit In a gamely form. SUMMARY. Colt stakes, two years old. Entrance, §25 p. p., with §2OO added by the A. J. Club. The following horses came under the string for competition. Mile dash—Libbie L., Johnnie 8., Bohler’s chestnut filly, Mark Twain and Santuc. Promptly at the word “ go,” they dashed off at a splendid rate. Libbie L. got the lead from the start, and it was evident, from her splendid style, that the race was hers. She was fol lowed closely by Johnnie B. and the filly, who pushed her hard, but were unable to head her during the race. Libbie L. undoubtedly showed that the faith of her backers was not misplaced, and landed her rider under the string in the creditable time of 1:52}£ —carry- ing three pounds overweight, two lengths ahead of Johnnie 8., who was one length ahead of the filly; Mark Twain fourth; the other not placed. SECOND RACE. Mile heats, for all ages. Entrance 5 per cent. Purse, §2OO. There were four entries for this race : Egypt, Mary Long, Larry Hart and Century. First heat—After one false start, the horses got off, Larry Hart leading. At the half-mile post, Egypt took the lead and kept it throughout the heat. Mary Long second, Century third and Larry Hart fourth—time, I:4B>£. Second heat—At first start, they all dashed off, Egypt taking the lead at the one-quarter mile post, which he main tained throughout. On the last quarter, he was gallantly pushed by Mary Long, who evinced a gameness in both heats, which created a lively enthusiasm among her friends. Century and Larry Hart making a dead heat for third place—time, The pools sold about the same on the course as at the Hotel. Libbie L. and Egypt being the favorites. The attendance was very fair, considering the times and weather, and many beautiful ladies graced the occasion with their presence. Alto gether, it is rarely that a crowd of spectators are so universally pleased as were the attendance at yesterday’s proceedings. There was nothing what ever to mar the enjoyment of all—no jockeying, no unpleasantness of any kind; everyone was satisfied that there was fair play and well contested races. The Jockey Club can pride themselves on securing first-class stock to compete for their prizes, and our citizens should encourage them by contributing what they can towards the funds. Barton & Medinger sold pools for to-day’s races, last evening, at the Globe Hotel. There was a large at tendance, and the following is the re sult : Ist Race—Vanderbilt 25 10 55 Field ...17 6 30 2d Race— Springlet 85 35 55 Field 60 20 25 The pools aggregated about §1,200. To-day’s programme is as follows : First Race—Stake for three year olds. Mile heats; §25 entrance, P. P. If two or more start, the club to add §250; second horse to receive §SO from stakes. Closed with three nomina tions ; Ist. Barton & Medinger names b. c. Charley Cheatham by Lynchburg, dam by Lightning out of Elizabeth McNary. Colors—white with blue spots, blue cap. 2d. Gen. Johnson Haygood names b. f. Katy Lee, by Lynchburg, dam Little Ella, by Lexington. Colors—red and white. 3d. L. A. Hitchcock names ch. f. Springlette, by Australian, dam Spring book, by Lexington. Colors —blue body, black sleeves and cherry cap. Second Race—Dash of two miles for all ages. Purse, §200; §l5O to first and §SO to second horse.* W. R. Babcock names bl. h.

Busy Bee, 4 years old, by War Dance, dam Laura Spilman. Colors, blue body, black sleeves and cherry cap. “Professor” William D. Jones lec tured, last evening, at the Bethel A. M. E. Church, on the very important question: “Whence Came We, and Whither are We Tending?” In view of the scarcity in the turkey market, we leave it to the poultry dealers to answer the second branch of the ques tion. MINOR LOCALS. Mr. Austin Mullarky declines to run for member of Council. The walls of the first story of the new Post Office are up. The Augusta Exchange and all the Banks will be closed to-day. The price of admission to the races has been reduced to fifty cents. Cotton movements yesterday, 1,411 bales received, sales, 866 bales shipped. A gentleman up town indulged in ripe strawberries yesterday morning, grown in his garden. A shooting match came off several evenings since at a ball given near the Augusta Factory. No deaths. The Merchants Protective Associa tion will be organized some time next week. It will be a sure protection against imposition. Rev. W. H. Clarke, D. D., has offi cially declined the appointment of Bishop to Africa. Major Bacon of the Edgefield Adver lisei'waa present at the Clinch Rifle I Concert first evening, evidently an ap- I preciative listener. The difficulties between the Augusta Exchange and the Southern and At lantic Telegraph Company have not been settled. For two days the Ex change has had no quotations in the morning. In the absence of the Recorder yes terday, no business was transacted be fore that court. There were several cases of plain drunks. M. D. Bridges, “marker” of Ogle thorpe Infantry, Company B, has been promoted to the honorable position of “private.” A bale of cotton that was being rolled into the warehouse of the Plant ers’ Union Agency, yesterday after noon, was found to be on fire. The Planters’ Hotel will be opened to-day, under the proprietorship of B. P. Chatfleld, Esq. The occasion will cause a real Thanksgiving among the travelling public. The sale of Girardey’s Opera House by the Sheriff, advertised to occur on the Ist of December, will not take place. No sale can take place until Judge Gibson disposes of the case which caused au injunction to issue. “Deposites” is anew word invented by some disciples of Richard Grant White, connected with one of our lite rary institutions, and printed on a number of labels. The largest flouring Mill in America is owned by Hon. C. C. Washburne, of Minneapolis, Minn. It is seven stories high, and crowded w r ith machinery from top to bottom. Its cost was three hundred thousand dollars, has forty run of burrs, and turns out one thou sand barrels of flour per day. On Tuesday afternoon, a small white boy attempted to board a train of the Central railroad, while it was go ing toward the depot. The little fel low’s head came in contact with a platform step, and he was knocked almost senseless. It seemed -a miracle he was not killed. The locomotive “North Carolina,” of the C. C. & A. Railroad is one of the best engines that runs through this city. It always look handsome, for William Fell the engineer seems to take great pains to keep the brass work cleaned to an extreme degree of br'ght ness. Mr. Fell says he commenced his duties “on the night that Sherman en tered Columbia.” The registry list closed yesterday. The aggregate is two thousaud five hundred and twenty-one, divided as follows : First Ward, five hundred and sixty-two. Second Ward, five hundred. Third Ward, five hundred and sixty eight. Fourth Ward, eight hundred and ninety-one. There were registered last year, one thousand seven hundred and nineteen votes, showing an increase this year of eight hundred and two. Recent orders from the Postmaster General, direct that the issue to a sin gle applicant, in one day, or more than three orders, payable at the same office and to the same payee, is positively forbidden. The applicant must, in all cases, write his own given name and surname in full. When the given name of the payee is known, it should also bo stated in full; otherwise, initials may be used. The given names of married women must be stated, not those of their husbands. For example : Mrs. Mary Brown must not be describ ed as Mrs. William Brown. Runaway. The “blowing off” of steam of a locomotive, yesterday, caused a dray horse, driven by Robert Butler, colored, to run away. At three o’clock yesterday after noon, a team of horses attached to a country wagon ran away in Broad street, but were stopped near Monu ment street. No hitching posts could be seen in the vicinity of the place where they started from. A Remarkable Professional Success. —Among the notable professional men of this country who have achieved ex traordinary success is Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. The prominence which he has attained has been reached through strictly legitimate means, and, so far, therefore, he deserves the envi able reputation which he enjoys. This large measuro of success is the result of a thorough and careful preparation for his calling, and extensive reading during a long and unusually large practice, which have enabled *him to gain high commendation, even from his professional brethren. Devoting his attention to certain specialties of the science he has so carefully investiga ted, he has been r&warded in a remark able degree. In these specialties, he has become a recognized leader. Not a few of the remedies prescribed by him have, it is said, been adopted and pre scribed by physicians in their private practice. His pamphlets and larger works have been received as useful contributions to medical knowledge. He has recently added another, and perhaps more important work, because of more general application, to the list of his published writings. This book, entitled “The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser,” is designed to enter into general circulation. Dr. Pierce has received acknowledgments and honors from many sources, and especially scientific degrees from two of the first medical institutions in the land.— [Missouri Republican (St. Louis). nov2B-tutha&fc Clinch Rifle Concei t. The concert for the benefit of the Centennial Fund of the Clinch Rifles, took place yesterday evening, :>nd was largely attended. Masonic Hall was filled with the friends of the Clinch boys, and with the admirers of the ladies and gentlemen announced on the programme. The concert was' under the direction of that veteran musician, Prof. John Weigand. The pfUno used was of the Bacon & Karr man ifacture, and was loaned by George A. Oates. The opening Solo of Mr. T. H. 0., was but another proof of the gentle man’s remarkable adaptation to instru mental music. His time is well meas ured and his execution excellent. The Bridge—song—Miss Liri, bay, did great credit to Mr. J. H. M. Its rendi tion was excellent. * The three pieces on the programme, “Let me Kiss Him for His Mother—Ordway—-was to have been rendered by Mr. J. D. C., Dr. E. C. G., Mr. H. P. W. and Mr. A. A. P., but owing to the indisposition of Dr. G., his place was filled by Mr. T. W. B. The Quartette was rapturously encored. Rose-Bush—song—was the next. Mrs. J. T. M. We can never hear this lady too often. Her singing is but a continuation of sweet and melodious sounds, of which one never wearies. The song “Do I Love Thee,” as ori ginally intended, was replaced by “Sad and Lonely,” by Lieut. J. D. C. Lieut. 0. has a remarkably line voice, and was repeatedly applauded. The quartette, composed of Mr. J. McC., Mr. A. P. 8., Mr. C. T. and Mr. G. J. F., received particular favor at the hands of the audience. They were recalled several times. Mr. A. A. P.’s solo, “There’s Life in the Old Land Yet,” was doubly valued, both through association and the merits of its rendition. The last verse is from the poetic pen of Mr. Jas. It. Randall, and is regarded as the most beautiful of the song. Mr. H. P. W.’s “Stirrup Oup” was also enthusiastically received. “The Swallow’s Farewell,” duett, by Mrs. J. T. M. and Mrs. G. G. 0., was charmingly rendered, and those pres ent expressed their approbation by a repeated encore. Miss L. R.’s “Venzano Waltz” was music in the real acceptance of the word, and decidedly a happy selection. “The Midnight Bells” closed the con cert by Miss L. R, Mrs. G. G. 0., Mrs. G. G. and Mr. A. A. P. It was a val uable conclusion of this musical enter tainment, which will not soon be for gotten by the Clinch boys and their frieLds. Primary Election for Members of Council. We learned on yesterday that a very general desire existed on the part of a very large number of voters in the Third and Fourth wards to havo the members of Council nominated by a primary election on Monday next. It is claimed that there are many reasons why such a course is desirable. It will afford those of the voters v-ho cannot attend night meetings an opportunity to express their choice. It will tend to prevent any disturbance or improper conduct, which sometimes occurs at ward meetings upon the part of irre sponsible parties. It will secure a full expression of all the registered voters, and thereby prevent even the show of right for independent candidates. These reasons appear to be weighty ones, and no doubt influenced the judgment of a large [number of our citizens re siding in the wards referred to, as well as elsewhere in the city. Such a course as the one thus indicated, will certainly relieve this important matter of the many objections which year after year are urged against lightning nominations. We presumi? from the very general expression, that the pri mary election system will ha adopted, more especially as it can be operated within the control of gentlemen, ap pointed by the meetings, And will in volve no expense to the city, or candi dates. | As will be seen from outadvertising columns a negro man named Johnson has been formally nominated for Coun cil from the Fourth Ward. If the colored voters intend to concentrate upon him, it becomes the citizens of that ward to harmonize upon throe good men and elect them. There must be no disorganization in the face of such a possibility as the above nomination presents. Without thorough preparation, and a universal turn-out of the registered voters ot the Ward, there is great danger that we may loso a member. Ho# necessary, then, that the very best men should be nominated, in a fair and satisfactory manner, and that after the nomi nation, they should receive the undivided support of every voter who desires to see the unity and harmony of the party preserved. With a registered vote in the Ft urth Ward of eight hundred and ninety-one, thero are nearly four hundred colored votes. The evidence is therefore very clear that a long, strong pull, all together, will be necessary to retain control. “A word to the wise is sufficient,” Georgia Railroad Stock. An Augusta correspondent of the Atlanta Herald in speaking; of the Geor gia Railroad and its directors says; I learn they do not want the stock to be speculative stock, or to see It concentrated in the hands of the few. but to remain as it new is, in the hands of the many, and to have its value depend upon the actual bus iness of the road. They have no confidence in, or use for, the “ bulls and bears ” of Wall street. John Davison, Esq., the clear-headed banker and flna icier, said to me that much of the stock of the Georgia road was now in the hands of children of parties who received it when first issued, and that he held shares wh ch had been is sued to members of his family ill 1831. Atone time this stock was sllO, is s <>w SBO, with an upward tendency, and can see no reason why it should not in two years stand at sllO per share. The fall was never as great as that of the Central—from $.15 away down to .51 or .52; now it is .57 and going upward. The two great causes of the c - opping down of the Georgia Railroad sto:k was, first, the efforts of the directors, -too soon after the war. to relieve the suffering and wants of the stockholders by paying too large dividends; they allowed th. ir feeling to warp their judgment; and tint second was the endorsement of Alabama and Western Railroad bonds. They are ti nv in a great measure relieved from that “pull-back,” as, in all probability, the road will hereafter pay all its expense account. From the number of trimmings now put on ladies’ dresses, it is reasonably predicted that the coming Winter is to bean uncommonly hard one—for hus bands and fathers. Amusements. Ben de Bar and a talented company, will present Shakespeare’s Henry IV. to an Augusta audience in about a month. The impersonation by Mr. de Bar of Sir John Falstaff, is said to equal the performance of the world renowned Hackett. The Savannah paper gives Hall’s company a half column critique and re marks : The trite saying that “ oft expectation fails where most it promises,” was not verified last evening at the theatre, as the anticipations that were shadowed in our notice yesterday of the performance of Hall’s Combination concerning a crowded house were in their full measure realized. To the appreciative lover of the legitimate drama it is not only a pleasure to greet a talented first-class company upon the stage, but to witness in the auditorium a reflex of the intelligence and refinement of the community, and such was our gratify ing expet ience last evening. The audience was a striking proof of the assertion we have repeatedly made, that first-class com panies visiting Savannah can have no cause to complain of lack of patronage. Hail’s Combination are emphatically entitled to distinction in the rank of line dramatic companies, and we have no doubt that there will be, if possible, this evening—the last of their engagement—au improvement in the house. The great strength and talent of Hall’s Combination enable the presentation of the powerful play of the “Two Orphans” with extraordinary effect. Among the favorite artists of the Combination we may mention Mr. Louis L. James, one of the most popu lar and polished young actors on the New York stage. He was, until the present sea son, for four years the leading actor of Daly’s fifth Avenue Theatre, ami is one of the most attractive and pleasing actors in the country. The following allusions to this artist are copied from the New York Evening Post, one of the most dignified journals in that city, and one that uever bestows unmerited praise: 1 he absence of Mr. Louis L. James from this city durin ; the ensuing dramatic sea son will be generally regretted by intelli gent playgoers. Mr. James is one of the most gifted of our young actors, and lie has steadily grown in favor here since he first appeared at the Fifth Avenue Thoatre as Captain Lynde, in Divorce. In the old comedies Mr. James has displayed accurate perception and refined taste, and liis im personations of “Mr. Page,” “Joseph Sur face” and “Dorricourt” will be remembered witli pleasure, while in the lighter plays of later times, which have recently been pro duced, he has succeeded equally well. Mr. James is now acting at (Mr. Hall’s) New Theatre. Of the drama of the “Two Orphans” the New York Graphic remarks: Were the clergy to witness such performances they would be less severe in their denunciations of the stage; although the play is French in its origin, the story presents such a pow erful sermon against vice that its influence must be altogether for good. The writer has often seen, on the Metropolitan boards, many of the mem bers of this splendid organization, and can vouch for their being all that is represented by the Savannah paper. ———— New Books. “Young People’s Illustrated Bible History.” By the Henry Bill Publish ing Company, 1875. A. J. Merrill, Ageut. Mr. Merrill having placed a copy of this work in our hands for ex amination, we gladly give our opinion of its merits. It is a somewhat remarkable fact that in giving a revelation of his mind to the.world, the author of the Bible should havo occupied so much of that revelation with mere biography. Yet, this can be accounted for. The Bible was intended for the young as well as the old ; and God, gave a revelation, and gave it in a way that would inter est both young and old. Biography is the first subject that children seek to know, and the Bible is the best of books ; therefore it is given in such a way as to meet the wants of the young mind. Again: The biography of Scrip ture embraces the mere alphabet of Bible truth. Biography is simply truth in earnest—truth at work. It is the gospel of a holy life. Hence, the doc trines of the good and the devout are deduced from, as they are illustrated by their lives. The doctrines of Christianity are wrapped up in biography for which we are indebted to the pens of Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. They are taught practically by the Evangelists, as they are taught .dogmatically, by Paul. So the whole range of inspired Biography }s designed to inforce the great saving doctrines and inculcate the grand prac tical duties of the Christian. To attain a knowledge of doctrine and duty, the lives of the men, women and children of the Bible must be road and studied. Now, the volume before us is one of the very best aids to such a study. In three hundred and sixty-three chap ters, covering five hundred and eighty four pages of royal octavo, we have an analysis of the whole Bible, so far as history and biography are concerned. The book is, therefore, worthy of a place in the domestic library of every Christian family. The Augusta Exchange. Mr. Editor— We have been pleased to learn through the daily papers that some members of the “Exchange” have become dissatisfied with the manner in which its affairs have been conducted recently, and that a commendable effort has been made towards reforma tion. We have for sometime been watching the movements of this insti tution with considerable interest, and fully intended (with your permission) to give your country readers a chapter on the “outs and ins,” that they might know exactly what reliance could be placed upon its authenticity for the value of any of our first-class securi ties. I say country readers, because no city reader could possibly be deceived as to what was daily transpiring be fore his eyes. But parties interested, at a distance, would naturally be led astray, and wonder where we were drifting to on seeing valuable stocks and bonds apparently “going a beg ging” in the hands of capitalists. We have known some cotton buyers (not a thousand miles from here) to sell a few hundred bales at very reduced prices expecting thereby to purchase thousands at proportionately low fig ures. It is to be hoped such tricks are beneath the dignity of a board com posed of responsible Augusta mer chants. Thanks to the reform movers and success to institutions established upon moral and legitimate principles. Augusta. Augusta, Nov. 24, 1875.
