At the Lady Washington Tea Party to-night, there will be no raffling nor cuting for any article. The lady managers of the tea party having invited our military to take part, Oglethorpe Infantry Company B, held a meeting last evening, and unani mously voted to attend ithe festival in full uniform. The presence of such a splendid body of military men in their handsome uniforms will add greatly to the eclat of the occasion. We trust other military companies will follow Company B’s noble example. Personal. We had the pleasure of meeting, on yesterday, the very popular and courteous conductor on the Athens branch of the Georgia Railroad, Mr. J. A. Moore Our Augusta folks are ever welcomed and well taken care of by Mr. Moore when they get on his line, and he is a great favorite with all who travel with him. Alexander Holmes, the travelling agent of the New York Daily Bulletin, one of the best commercial papers in the country, called on us yesterday, He is canvassing Augusta, and we trust will receive a liberal patronage. Auction Sales. There was not nf&ch of a crowd of bidders at the usual monthly auction sales on yesterday, held at the Market House. In some instances it is said, lots of real estate were “bid in,” as the prices offered were quite low. The following is a summary : By Bignon & Crump. For the City Sheriff—A tract of land belonging to the Augusta Tobacco Factory, $305. Twenty horses and mules, at prices varying from S3B to SIOO. By C. V. Walker. Ten shares Atlanta and West Point Railroad at 77%; ten shares Bank of State of Georgia at 50 cents for the lot; thirty-live shares East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad at five shares of Georgia Railroad at 81; one hundred and eight shares Mississippi Central Railroad at S6O for the lot; one bond Macon and West Point Railroad for 50 cents; one bond Mississippi Central Railroad for $320, at $67 per $100; two second mortgage bonds Mississippi Central, SSOO each, for fifty cents on the dollar.

Board of Education meet next Satur day, in place of Monday, as announced yesterday. The Augusta and Savannah Railroad has declared a dividend of three and a half per cent., payable at the Treas urer’s office in Savannah. Cotton movements yesterday—one thousand three hundred aud eighty-six bales received, and one thousand and sixty-eight sold. The British bark Edgar arrived at Savannah yesterday, with a large con signment of goods in bond for Boms, Brown & Cos. *• Tell me, ye winged winds That round my pathway roar, Know ye not some sacred spot Where drummers roam no more?" A Macon man, being alarmed about the small-pox, bought Gladstone’s pamphlet on Vaticination to read up on “ the derned thing.” As the Board of Council In an adjoin ing city burst into laughter, the Presi dent arose aud said, “Gentlemen, we will not permit longevity in a grave and reverend assembly. Something of a “ sensation ” was created on Broad street yesterday, by the appearance of a Chinaman in full fig : pigtail, two-inch soled shoes, blue blouse, etc. He was accompanied by our resident Chineser, and both ap peared to be in high spirits. Open a wash house, John, and laundry our clothes at a reasonable rate. The through express of the Char lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad was delayed about forty minutes yes terday morning, by a freight engine jumping a switch at a turnout near Graniteville. Beyond delaying the ex press, there was no damage done. John F. Quin has removed his fruit and candy store from Jackson street to No. 198}£ Broad street, where can be found a large assortment of tooth some candies aud fresh fruits. The ladies appointed to canvass tbe city in the interest of the memorial home for Stonewall Jackson’s widow, will probably commence their labor of love to-day. The very deserving ob ject of their mission should receive a liberal recognition. Many years ago, Prof. Longfellow contemplated making a collection of representative Christmas literature. He gathered much material for such a publication, but did nothing more toward it, until, loarning that another was at work in the same field, he gen erously placed his gleanings at the service of the latter, Mr. Philip Gates, of New York. His book, “Christmas in Song and Story,” will be published immediately by James Cockroft & Cos., in a large red-line quarto, with a hun dred illustrations by Foster, Dore and others. The poems selected number about fifty, from a wide range of poets, led by Milton, and these are supplemented by some Christmas sketches in prose, including the “Christmas Carol,” and pieces by Irving, Auerbach and Andersen. Thack eray’s “The end of the Play,” concludes the volume. Take Care ol‘ the Children. A mother writing in the Household, says that she made her little one’s night dress of cotton flannel, with legs to them, so that if he got uncovered he should not take cold. Observing that he lost flesh and grew cold toward morning, she called in a physician. She continues : “He said that cotton flannel was not the material for children, for when it gets wet it clings to them and is as sold as ice. He also denounced the idea of makiDg legs to the dresses; said that the limbs should not be separated; but should come together. His directions were to make a night dress of flanuel long enough to lay on the floor half a yard, just like a big bag; run a string in the bottom of this, and when the child goes to bed tie it up. In this way the legs can not get out, and there is perfect freedom of motion. We did so at once, and It worked like a charm. No more lying awake nights and won dering what the trouble is. The little fellow sleeps soundly, and wakes Iu the morning refreshed and with a good ap petite.” K . “Anything to Beat Grant!” When our neighbor, E. R. Schneider, sent in several colored “ puesons ” last eveniug, with a generous supply of stewed oysters, we felt, after reading about seventy-five pages of telegraph manifold, containing a portion of the President’s message, that such an in terruption was one could allow at any hour of the day or night. The bivalves were delicious, and we were going to add, our force of thirty per sons, from the editor-in-chief to the “ devil,” enjoyed them, when lo! and behold, in steps the “devil,” who, by the way, ain’t a bit like Me phisto, but, on the contrary, looks like the intelligent sort of a youth found in the “amen corner,” and declines to eat “the biled Eysters but likes ’em raw.” So we leave the “devil” out, and say, Schneider’s delicious oysters cannot be beat. This timely supply of rations is “a revival” which to our mind, beats the best efforts of Moody and Sankey, and reminds one of ante bellum days, when all]hands had a gen erous supper on the night when the President’s Message was received. Our employers, at whose expense the oys ters were furnished, will please accept our thanks; George, bring in another stew ! _ The Melon Trade. A gentleman of this city hands us the following statistics of the amount of shipments of watermelons during the past summer: Over the Central Railroad from Au gusta, Allen’s Station, Hollywood, and Mcßean’s, to Savannah 90,950 Over the C„ C. and A. Railroad 24,347 Over the Port Royal Railroad to New York 2,010 Over the South Carolina Railroad to Charleston and New York 48,857 Over the Georgia Railroad 80,286 By the Express Company 10,000 Total 256,450 Of the 90,950 shipped over the Cen tral Railroad, 32,768 were grown on the plantation of Pollard & Cos. Amusements. The Savannah News speaks of the I Holman Opera Troupe thus : A fine audience greeted the Holman Eng- j lish Opera Troupe last evening, on the oc- j casiou of their first appearance here this season. The popular opera, “Girofie- 1 Girofla,” was presented, and was received throughout with manifestations of ap- j proval. Miss Sallie and Miss Julia Holman ! were excellent in their respective roles, and their appearance on the stage was the sig nal for applause. They had fair support, and afforded the audience a most agreeable evening. To-night, the last of the com pany, will be given the favorite opera, Mad. Angot’s Daughter, a production replete with delightful musical gems aud amusing selections. Those who have not already secured tickets should do so without delay, and not let the weather deter them from attending, as we can assure them of a pleasant evening. A bold departure has been made by this company, in advertising that our Opera House will be thoroughly cleaned, so that ladies need have no fear of having their clothes injured. No one will com plain at this announcement. After play ing their Augusta engagement, they go to San Francisco, under Mr. Haverley’s management, to fill an engagement of ten weeks. • Haverley’s Minstrels appeared before a fine audience last evening at the Opera House. The fame of this supe rior troupe is so well established, that it is scarcely necessary to say their en tertainment was in every particular oue that gave entire satisfaction. We were disappointed at the few ladies present, because the troupe is com posed of a class of burnt cork artists, that have talent enough to please, without descending to vulgarity and low wit. There is not a feature of their performance that would offend the most fastidious. The handsome agent, Harry Clapham, and who is not above taking tickets at the door, is one of those gentlemen whom people are glad to meet. Frillman, the basso, a new addition, has a voice of great com pass, and was deservedly encored. Milt. Barlow and George Wilson, the best end men in the United States, were as usual, par excellence. Edward French, the baujoist, and Primrose and West, the cloggists, were encored several times. The song, “When the Moon is Out To-night,” was sung by Thomas B. Dixou, the tenor, and Henry W. Roe, the baritone, ren dered the song, “The Day when You’ll Forget Me,” in an artistic manner. Mr. Roe has a voice of extreme flexi bility. The whole company is superior, and the vocal and instrumental efforts can not be excelled by any Ethiopian com pany on the road. TIIE COURTS. SUPERIOR COURT. December 7th. The entire day was taken up in the trial of the cause of the Au gusta Mutual Loan Association vs. James McAudrew, and the matter was submitted to the jury at six p. m., but up to a late hour they had not agreed upon a verdict. On the application of Major I. P. Girardey, a temporary injunction v/as granted by Judge Tompkins, which prevented a sale of the Opera House yesterday by the Sheriff. Major Girar dey, through his counsel, Messrs. Hook & Webb, represents that at the time of the foreclosure suit, in admit ting service of the legal papers, he was not in his right mind. The following causes are set down for to-day: Wra. Gannon vs: P. H. Lynch ; Solomon Lewin m H. Morri son & Cos.; Wm. Harrall vs. D. R. Wright, Executor, and Anna N. Jessup, Executrix of William C. Jessup. ORpiNART’S COURT. Letters of administration were grant ed: To Joseph Myers on estate of Albert Mendlesou, to Dr. Lewis D Ford on estate of Joseph I. Milligan, to William C. Jones on estate of William C. Jones, to W. Fred Eve, Esq., on estate of Anthony B. Ferguson with will annexed. Letters of guardianship of property was granted to Joshua W. Butt for his minor children, Edward H., John TANARUS., Archibald W., Mary Ann, and Lewis F. The court adjourned to next term, COUNTY COURT. The usual monthly session was held for auditing bills against the county. recorder’s court. The following fines were imposed: Patrick Barrel, ixtoxieation, $1; Thos. Tiger, Case Tiger, Tim Malone, each $5 for intoxication; Milton Perant, Bud Brunett, and Alexander Wabble, three boys, for creating a noise, were fined $1 each. There will be an exciting session this morning, as a case will be tried in which politics are involved. Several well known lawyers will appear as counsel. Cavalry Survivors’ Association. The regular monthly meeting of the Cavalry Survivors’ Association, was held last night at the rooms of the Association on Campbell street, when resolutions of respect to the memory of Mr. Solomon a recently deceased comrade, were adopted. The Association will probably have a sociable or entertainment during the coming holidays. A special meeting will be held next Tuesday night to fur ther consider the matter and perfect the arrangements for the affair. This organization, but recently form ed, already has a large membership of survivors of the Confederate cavalry, living in and near Augusta, and its in fluence for good is felt in a marked de gree. Admitted to the Bar. The following young gentlemen have been examined and admitted to prac tice law in the courts of this State. George W. Warren, W. E. Jackson, Jr., and D. F. Myers. The examiners were Major Cumming, J. C. C. Black, Esq., F. H. Miller, Esq., and Davenport Jack son, Esq. It was a rigid ordeal to pass, but the young gentlemen passed a fine examination. Fashionable Gossip. Riding habits are now trimmed with gold and silver braid, with buttons to match. Anew evening dress for the ladies is made to button on the shoulders. It is without sleeves, and has arm-holes open to the waist. Vails fastened at the back of the hat and tied loosely around the neck, are quite popular. Soft hats for gentlemen are displac ing the hard stove pipes. FOR THE CAMPAIGN OF 1876. The Augusta Constitutionalist. The Proprietors would announce that the i Augusta Constitutionalist will take a leading part in the coming Presidential and Gubernatorial Campaigns of 1876. Next year an election will be held for President and Vice-President of the United States. * In Georgia a Governor and other State officers, memb ts of Congress and members of the Legislature are to be chosen. It is already known that the Presidential contest will be the most exciting, and cer tainly the most important which has oc curred since 1860. Upon a truthful press the people must almost wholly rely for accurate information, in order to act intel ligently and in eoncert. To our immediate section, it is of the first importance that its voice should be heard by the country at large, its necessities known aud the legisla tion it needs in Congress, and the future policy of the Government, through its Executive, made perfectly clear. The Constitutionalist has a stiong corps of editors and correspondents em ployed, and will devote a largo amount of its space to the Presidential and the Btate campaign. But it will not be altogether political—it will then, as now, publish each morning in its Daily, every other day in its Tri- Weekly, and its Weekly, the very latest news received up to three o’clock on the morning of publication. This will include telegraphic dispatches from all portions of the United States, dispatches by cable from the Old World, the markets at home and from Europe, a daily resume of Geor gia and South Carolina local news, the decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia, and, lastly, the local news of the city of Augusta.

Strictures on a Monopoly. To the Editor of the Constitutionalist: Dear Sir—Being a stranger in this city, and knowing your willingness to expose any imposture, I beg to call your attention to the following : I arrived in this city this morning, and, iu my capacity as Agent of the “ Holman Opera Company,” sent for the bill-poster—one J. F. Heuisler. The true character of this man had been told me by several of my brother agents, but, believing in the bid adage, “ Speak of a man as you find him,” I made up my mind to treat him as a gentleman. He came to see me, and made a very uujust demand l'or a pre posterous number of admission tickets, besides the regular price of bill-post ing. I tried to reason with him. but to no avail; be making the remark that he could do as he pleased, as he had full control of all the bill-boards in the city, aud that if I did not choose to come to his terms, he would do all he could to in jure my company, the reputation of which it is unnecessary for me to pass any remarks upon. I came to the con clusion that I would not be swindled, and consequently will not cover the walls with my large posters, knowing that you will use your best endeavors for the success of the Holmans, and that the time has come that. a merito rious entertainment will always meet a welcome in Augusta. Trusting that you will give the above spa’.-e iu the columns of your valuable paper, I re main, very respectfully, yours, Ernest Stanley, Agent Holman English Opera Cos. Particulars of Fetuer’s Arrest, On Sunday morning James Fetner, the engineer at whose door is laid the responsibility of the recent accident on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, by which was entailed a great loss of life and property, was brought td this city on the Air-Line t ain. He got on the train at Atlanta, and, it hav ing been ascertained who he was, the conductor, A. J. Vickers, and the bag gage master, H. Sidebottom, took him under arrest, tied him, and brought him to this city, in order to obtain the reward which had been offered for him. Fetner made no resistance, but stated that he was willing to go, since he was then on his way to Columbia to give himself up. Arriving in this city, his captors at tempted to put him on the Columbia train, but acting under the advice of friends, he flatly refused to go, and Deputy Sheriff Farrow was sent for. Tho officer hamffcuffed him iu the of fice of the Central Hotel and carried him to jail, where he now remains. A telegram was sent to Gov. Chamber lain, apprising him of tho arrest and confinement, and he will no doubt at once make a requisition upon Gov. Brogdeu for the prisoner. Fetner was drunk at the time of his arrest. There was quite a company of rail road men*in the office of the hotel when the man was hand-cuffed, and their murmurings were very audible. They were very free in their denuncia tions of the conductor and baggage master for having “gone back on a railroad man,” and these found few to take their parts. Fetner is unques tionably a guilty man and should bo punished, but when you look at it in the light of railroad men having captured an unresisting railroad man, for money, the affair does not show so very well for the captors. —[Charlotte Observer. Evolution and Religion.— Tho Cath olic Telegraph, at New York, comment ing on Professor Proctor’s ch singe of base, claims that “evolution,” in any but the most sweeping sense, is entirely compatible with the Catholic faith. It points out that St.. Augustine taught the development of life from the inor ganic, and that tho fathers were nearly all agreed that the creative days were vast periods, of which our days are only the faintest types. Even man, so far as he is an animal, may be safely viewed as a product of evolution. All thesejquestions, the editor claims, be longs to science, and not to religion. He insists only that the soul be re served for au Immediate act of the Creator. Suicide of a Minister’s Daughter.— Miriam, the youngest daughter of the Rev. Thomas Hanford, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Hamilton, Ohio, committed suicide by drowning on Saturday. She left home for school as usual, aud the first known of the af fair was a note left for her father at a grocery store. It is stated that she had maturely considered the matter, and was determined to put an end to her existence. The body was recover ed. No cause but temporary insanity is assigned. . —■ — It is a pity that the poet Childs should confine himself so strictly to the tomb in his writings. Tab mar riages as well as the deaths are en titled to the services of genius.; How neat, for instance, would be a fey lines like these at the foot of a Philadelphia matrimonial event: Truth is the shortest and nearest way to our end, carrying us thlljher in a straight line. r Sketches of Officers Elect. Mr. Kerr, the Speaker, was a most active member of the Forty-Second Congress. Ho is tall, thin and very spare. His face is thin and angular. His eyes glow from under strong pro jecting eyebrows. He wears a sort of lap-robe beard of a sandy color. He is considerably bald, with a thick lower growth of sandy hair. His dress is of rusty black, which flaps and clings to him like wet garments huug up to dry. He has a voice as clear as a bugle, aud, while he cannot be classed as an orator in the popular sense of the word, his friends ought to thank God for it. The day of froth and flowers is gone iu Congress. The era of cut and thrust, of sledgehammer effects, has dawned. Asa speaker suited to the demands of modern times, Kerr made a place for himself in Congress that has not been surpassed by the presence of any other member upon hi3 side of the House. He possessed dauntless cour age, and his power of logic made him a most powerful antagonist. His loug figure would swing to and fro, his arms swing iu the air in the most wonderful manner at times, but the substance of his remarks always overcomes his un gracefulness in capturing interest. Georgo M. Adams, the Clerk, was born in Knox county, Kentucky, De cember 20,1837; was educated at Cen tre College, Danville, Kentucky; stud ied law; was Clerk of the Circuit Court of Knox county from 1859 to 1861; he raised a company in August, 1861, aud entered the Union army as captaiu in the Seventh Kentucky Volunteers; in August, 1861, he was appointed pay master of volunteers, and served in that capacity until the close of the war; I was elected to the Fortieth, Forty-first | and Forty-second Congresses, aud was i re-elected to the Forty-third Congress as a Democrat, receiving 9,684 votes against 8,199 votes for Wood, Republi can. Mr. John G. Thompson, the new Ser geant-at-Arms, is a prominent citizen of Ohio; has been Chairman of the Democratic State Committee for a number of years, and is in the prime of life, and is an active, energetic man, of popular and agreeable manners. Mr. Fitzhugh, the doorkeeper, is a citizen of Texas, aud is well known in that section. He was Sergeant-at- Arms to the Confederate Congress. He will have the disposition of more patronage than any of the ocher officers, having some very good places iu his gift. Captain James M. Stouart, the Post master of the House of Representa tives, is a native of Alexandria, Va. He emigrated to St. Louis when quite a young man, aud accompanied General Price in the New Mexican expedition during the Mexican war. He afterwards located himself at Tuolumne county, Cal., aud served as sheriff until the breaking out of the late war, when he left California and rode on horseback through Mexico to the Rio Grande, and w'as, on his arrival at Richmond, chosen captain of one of the Alexandria companies in the Confederate service. At the close of the war he returned to Alexandria, and was soon elected City Sergeant by a vote substantially unani mous. He resigned before the close of his term, and has since been engaged in settling up the business. No man has ever been so popular iu his native town as he. He is over six feet in height and well built iu proportion. Rev. Mr. Townsend, the Chaplain, is a popular divine of Washington City, formerly from Connecticut. He is the rector of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Incarnation. BUSINESS NOTICES. Choice Good3 of all kinds, at private sale, at C. V.

The Cheapest and Best Fertilizer in Use in Georgia. VTOTHfNG in the way of a Fertilizer and JLN Renovator of old soils has been found equal to PURE OYSTER SHELL LIME. It is not only for one year, but its good effects are seen and continues for eight to ten years. Litne is greatly beneficial to all Grain Crops, applied as a top dressing, and also to Potatoes and all root crops, and should be applied in quantities not less than sto 30 bushels per acre. For Compost Heaps it is invaluable, and to the planters of Georgia this plan of using Lime is speci ally recommended to bring up our State to the front rank in Agricultural matters. The cheapness of our OYSTER SHELL LIME will recommend it to every farmer who has used fertilizers largely for the past few years. Its value is greatly enhanced by its long years of service, acting as it does for years after its application has been forgot ten. In soils abounding in vegetable sub stances the mauurial quality in Lime is more fully recognized. Nitrogen abounds in all soils of common fertility, but little of it is available—Lime unlocks this store house of Nitrogen and renders it readily available for plant food. A splendid and econo ical compost fertilizer may be made by thoroughly mixing one bushel of salt and three of Lime, and let the mixture stand six to eight weeks bofsre using. This is specially adapted to using in drills for Turnips. The cheapness and facility of procuring this wonderful renovator of the soil ought to make it one of the first objects of the farmer (who desires to improve his land) to obtain it. Nothing in the way of a fertilizer or renovator has been found equal to it, as proved by the increased yield of crops anrl permanent improvement of the soil at a cost less, by far, than any other manure. We are prepared to furnish PURE OYSTER SHELL LIME in any quantity at $lO per ton of 2,000 pounds, free of cart age, on cars in Port Royal, S. C. We also have a Compound for Prevent ing Hot iu Grapes for sale at SSO per ton. Give it a trial. TERMS STRICTLY CASH IN ADVANCE. Send all orders to PORT ROYAL LI 3kTS CO.. PORT ROYAL, S. C. W.

They com manded the admiration of the true and the brave in every land. But how few admire a tine head enveloped in grey hair and whiskers!—very few. We all love admira tion, and nothing in our appearance is more calculated to secure it than pretty hail - . If old age, sickness or sorrow has robbed you of it, you can regain it by the use of Dr. Tutt’s Hair Dye. Its populari ty is so great that it can be found on the shelves of every druggist in the land. octl3-suwedfrAcly Valuable Property for Sale. I OFFER FOR SALE the well-known Farm of MR. N. B.
