Cotton States Life Insurance Company. By reference to the very complete and handsome advertisement of the company, it will be seen that it has established a branch office in Augusta, uoder the control and direction of that phenomenon in life insurance, Mr. J. H. Miller, and we predict for it fine suc cess, under his energetic administra tion. This is a Georgia company—or ganized and controlled by gentlemen, to the manor born. Its officers are among the best and most responsible business men in the South. It is thoroughly reliable and well establish ed, and ought to become the great life organization of the South. It throws around its patrons every security, in cluding a large deposit with the k State Comptroller. It is conservatively and intelligently managed, with large as sets, in addition to its guaranted capital of $500,000. The endowment policy at life rates is a novel feature and must become a very popular form of in surance. The advantage of this plan is fully shown forth in the advertise ment. Mr. Miller has already com menced business with very astonishing success, and we wish him well, and his new company deserved prosperity. Let us foster our own institutions and the insurance , companies of Georgia will always take the first rank among com petitors. Dr. Wharton’s Resignation. Yesterday afternoon there was a large meeting of the members of the First Baptist Church, in their chapel, for the transaction of business and to act on the resignation of their pastor, Rev. Dr. Wharton. The ladies pre dominated in number, and all appeared to deeply feel the importance of the matter to be acted on. After the trans action of some routine business, the letter of resignation was laid before the meeting for action. At once, a mo tion was made not to accept the resig nation, and after a debate, lasting for sometime, a resolution was carried, that on account of the present ill health of Dr. Wharton, the usual Sunday night service be dispensed with, and he be requested to withdraw his resigna tion. This action appeared to be a signal for general felicitation, and the members of the church left the chapel, evidently highly pleased. It is hoped this appreciation of his labors will in duce Dr. Wharton to accede to the unanimous wishes of members of his church. Society Elections. The following officers have been cho sen by Jeptha Degree Lodge, No. 9,1. O. O. F., Daughters of Rebecca: W. H. Paul, N. G.; Mrs. B. F. Johnson, V. G.; Mrs. J. C. Roberts, R. S.; Mrs. Henry Rodgers, F. S.; Mrs. John H. Neiblicg, Treasurer. At a regular communication of Har mony Lodge, No. 67, A. F. M., held at Hamburg, S. C., on the 9th inst., the following officers were elected for the ensui. g Masonic year: P. M. M. Simon, W. M.; W. M. Murphy, S. W.; L. A. Ransom, J. W.; P. M. Geo. Damm, Treasurer; P. S. Jacobs, Secretary; A. P. Butler, S. D.; M. D. L. Miller, J. D.; A. Levy and M. Sallat, Stewards; J. C. Haintz, Tyler. Mayor Estes and Cock Fights. We think a vote of thanks should be tendered Mayor Estes by Augusta’s citizens, for his prompt action in sup pressing that most demoralizing, bru tal sport of cock fighting. The match which was to have taken place in Au gusta on the 20th Inst, has been pro hibited by him. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals cer tainly owe him a debt of gratitude for taking the matter in hand, and should, we think, make some acknowledg ment. CITIZBN, BOARD OF EDUCATION. Interesting Debate on the Proposed High Schools—The Board Favor Bet ter Schools bat not increased Taxa tion-Appointment of a Committee to Consider The regular monthly meeting was held yesterday morning in the Council Chamber at the City Hall. Hon. John T. Shewmake presided. A quorum of the Board was present. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. FINANCIAL. The report of the Finance Committee, giving amount of salaries, etc,, was re ceived and read by the Clerk. On motion it was ordered received and paid. THE PROPOSED HIOH SCHOOL. Mr. Calvin offered the following pre amble and resolutions : Whereas, We have progressed far enough in the establishment of the strictly elementary schools to warrant, iu the near future, the inauguration of High Schools which will give completeness to the system of public instruction now in operation in this county: therefore be it Resolved , That George R: Sibley, J. J. Pearce, Edward O’Donnell, John S. David son. Francis Gogin, Berrien Rachels and M. J. Carswell be and they are hereby ap pointed a committee, charged with the duty of presenting a plan for High Schools for boys and girls, and reporting on all matters really germain to the subject in hand, either at a called or next regular meeting of this Board. Resolved, That the President be requested to respond to any request which said com mittee may make as to the time of said meeting. Mr. Pearce said he thought the time had not arrived on account of the hard times, for the establishment of a high school. The people were not fully on their feet yet. Those who wanted high schools could well afford to send their children to a pay school. The estab lishment of a high school would hurt the other schools. He was not opposed to the establishment of a high school, but was at this particular time. John S. Davidson, Esq., said the objec tions could be easily met. He felt sure I that no gentleman in the Board would vote to increase the taxes of J the people of Richmond county. This matter had serious thought by j some of the Board. Since the es tablishment of the Board, some s ’ opposition had been urged against some of its undertakings, but time has proved the Board to be right in its action. What was the duty of the Board? There were, many citizens who paid large taxes, who could not enjoy any of the advantages of the pub ; lie schools. The reasons were that the locations of the schools were not con venient, and the grade of the schools was not high enough to benefit their children. If this scheme can be put into operation without increased taxa tion, it was the duty of the Board to meet the wants of the large number of tax payers, who desire these proposed high schools. He felt sure the members would do full justice to the subject, and carefully guard the interests of the people of Richmond county. It was time enough to object to the project when this committee report. Judge Levy said he approved of high schools; the appointment of the com mittee did not intend to increase the taxes. He was anxious to hear the re port of the committee. Mr. Pearce said the Board was ap pointed for the education of the poor only; at least he thought such was the intention of the Legislature in passing the law. Mr. Davidson said, “Oh! no, not at all.” Mr. Pearce resumed. The board should not experiment with the school fund. If there is a committee ap pointed, let them make the common schools better. If the common schools are not good enough the rules should be revised, and they should be made better. Dr. Barton said he favored the reso lutions as offered, because he wanted to have a higher grade of education. He differed with Mr. Pearce. He, how ever, wanted the chair to appoint the committee, instead of having them named in the resolution. Let the com mittee report, and then say what can be done. The wishes of the large body of tax-payers, who want these schools, should be respected, as they pay the major part of the taxes. Mr. Fleming did not favor the ap pointment of a committee in the man ner proposed by the resolutions. Judge Shewmako said he would pre fer that the manner of the appoint ment of the committee would remain as proposed in the resolutions. There was only one name he would wish added. It was accordingly so ar ranged. Mr. Fleming took the same grounds as Dr. Barton. It was not good econo my to oppose this matter of establish ing a high school. A great deal of money now spent abroad in sending children to Baltimore and other places, would remain at home, if proper grades of schools were established, so that the children of the heavy tax payers could be educated in a properly graded school here. Mr. Calvin said he was actuated by tho highest motives in offering the resolutions. Referring to the “hard times,” he said that it was tho duty of the Board to lift these burdens from the shoulders of the tax payers. He favored turning the Richmond Academy into a High School. He had nothing to conceal. Ho had gathered facts and figures which he could submit to the Board at some future time. He was in favor of affording education as cheaply as possible. The resolutions were then put, and passed. TEACHERS. Favorable reports having been made in the cases of Catharine Palmer and Thomas Lacy, colored, it was ordered they be licensed as third grade teachers. Applications were received from Georgia M. Swift and Lavinia Clark, colored, for positions as teachers, and they were passed for examination. The Board then adjourned. Col. A. 11. Lamar. We were glad to welcome to our sanctum yesterday Col. A. R. Lamar, the distinguished Solicitor General of the Eastern Circuit. He,is the picture of health and happiness, and may he prosper a thousand years. THE COURTS. SUPERIOR COURT. Decembiji 11th. The case of Caroline Taylor vs. Gar rison Taylor, a suit for absolute di vorce, wan decided in favor of the wo man. Thu parties are colored, and on the judgment of the Court being ren dered, Caroline left the City Hall with a broad grin on her face. In the case of the executors of J. Danforth, deceased, us. John S. Nelson (J. Whitman, garnishee), the certiorari was sustained, and the judgment of the Justice’s Court was reversed. The court then adjourned. No calendar was set for Monday. RECORDER’S COURT. The following cases were disposed of: Josephine Sheery, quarreling with a man in the streets, fined #3.50; K. Mc- Gin, for quarreling with Josephine, was fined $5. Albert Williams, colored, for quarrel ing with a white man, was Coed sls. Eli Mason, colored, for fighting with another negro and threatening him with a knife, was fined $25. W. L. Eving, a school-master, was fined $2.50 for acrobatic whiskeying. Edward Jinklns surrendered himself for drunkenness, and was fined sl. Mrs. Felicity was fined $25 for going on a spree. Visitors to the Pair. We had the pleasure of meeting on Wednesday night, Mr. Chris. Gray, from New York, well known by the people of Savannah under the firm of Gray, O’Brien & Cos. We aliio met Hon. Judge Gibson, Messrs. James- A. Gray and A. Mullarkey, from Augusta. All these gentlemen got a call from almost all the ladies who had books for chances, and we are glad to say that the liberality of the visitors mentioned above surpassed the expectations of the claimants. What a pity that there are not many such visitors. Tho good Sisters would pray for them. The .pocket-books of these gentlemen were very plethoric when they entered the hall, and, like an “ aurora borealis,'’ they illuminated the faces of the ladies volunteering to assist the fair, who, like bees (or mosquitoes), swarmed around the gentlemen to suck out the sweet honey of their charity. May God send more suck bCes to Savannah, where drones are so abundant.—South ern Cross, Savannah, Ga., Dec. 11. Broad Street Notes. Great preparation is being made for the holiday season by our Broad street merchants, and notwithstanding the cry of “hard times,” it seorqs to make little difference in the supply of toys, fancy goods, fruits and fire works. Nowhere in the city is this more appa rent than at the French Store, No. 224 Broad street. The Doll department is better than ever. Large dolls, small dolls, expensive dolls and jsrery cheap dolls, dressed and undressed, are here in every known variety. Not only the doll themselves, but very thing that a doll or its owner .should have, can be found in this part o 2 the store. Beautiful doll’s houses and pretty dolls clothes, all similar to those pro vided for the amusement of the chil dren of the Royal princesses of Eng land and Germany. This ‘ store was established in 1859, and under direc tion of its courteous proprietor, S. Guerin, has attained a splendid repu tation as a place where can be found cakes, crackers, potted meats, [sardines pigs feet for lunch, French and domes tic candy, Malaga grapes, bananas, oranges, apples, nuts, fire crackers, prize boxes, toys, French and domestic candy, wholesale and retail, He also supplies parties at the shortest notice. His stock of toys can not be excelled. i ) At the millinary establishment of Mrs. M. Rice, No. 198 Broad street, can be found a beautiful assortment of ladies millinary. No more acceptable present to a lady, either old or young, could be made than a handsome hat. Mrs. Rice has an endless Variety, and sells them at very low rates! Dr. Frank J. Moses has, completed the arrangements of his eljegant new drug store at No. 280 Broadistreet, and exhibits as fine assortment fof articles incidental to a first class est&blish ment.

Dr. Moses is to be congratulated upon his location, his elegantly appointed establishment, and the heavy run of patronage which has already been given him.; By reference to our advertising col umns it will be seen that Messrs. J. B. White & Cos., No. 228 Broad Street, have an extensive stock of dry goods, which they offer at very low prices, and among them is an elegant assortment of neck ties and kid gloves, which are very ap propriate for holiday Those who make “practical” presents will find at this store blankets that are just the thiDg to keep one warm in this nipping weather. — Stonewall Jackson’s Daughter. It will be seen that a movement has been organized for the bestowal, by the people, of a benefaction on the daughter of the great Southern Chief, honored in his glorious memory by all who speak the English tongue, and all who value the embodiment ie one man of unselfish virtue, earnest arid devoted godliness of character and the renown ed soldier chief.

The Common Council will make an official visit up the canal on Monday morning. The alarm of fire at eight o'clock last evening was false. “Big £teve” did not ring. All day yesterday the New York quotations was marked “firm” on the bulletin board of the Augusta Ex change. There was some talk yesterday of a called meeting of the Common Council to pass an ordinance forbidding cock fighting. But, as the parties owning the mains of game chickens promised to abide by the request made by Mp,yor Estes, the meeting was postponed. Of Kev. H. H. Parks, the LaGrange Reporter, says: This gentleman, who has served as pastor of the Methodist Church iu this place for the past year, has been appointed to the charge of St. James’ Church In Augusta. By his efficiency as a minister and devo tion to his calling, he has greatly endeared himself to tho members of his tlook, whose best wishes go with him. Change of Schedule.

Mr. Editor : On Saturday. 4th inst., the Richmond County Council of Gran ges held its third quarterly meeting at Rosney Chapel, Dr. R. C. Griffin pre siding. Although the day was damp, chilly and gloomy, three Granges were repre sented, but not so fully as they would have been, had the day been more auspicious. In the absence of speakers expec ted from abroad, the annual addresses of Worthy Master Adams and Worthy Secretary Kelley, of the National Grange, were read. After which seve ral subjects of interest to the Order were discussed. The meeting then adjourned for busi nes, and repaired to the Festive Hall, which was crowded with the pleasant company of beautiful maidens, gallant young men and smiling matrons. Seated around the sumptuous board, groaning beneath a profusion of choice delicacies and more substantial food, the afternoon was spent in that social ity which constitutes the most pleas ing and useful feature of the Grange. The next convocation will be on the second Saturday in April next, at the same place, at 10 o’clock a. m. Qui 'Vive. —■—- Hephzibali’s Fine Concert. Mr. Editor : Hephzibah has been busy as bees for several days prepar ing for a concert, charades and supper. And as I promised you on leaving the city, I hastily give you a few dots concerning the entertainment. Exercises were opened with prayer by the Principal of the High School. The programme was announced at the inception of each scene. The per formance was conducted well through out, each one vielng with the other as to who should do the best. All did well, and the cause for which the en tertainment was gotten up advanced materially by the acquisition of quite a snug little sum of money. Much credit is due the President, Mrs. S. C. Carswell of the Missionary Society, for her untiring zeal and industry in so fully accomplishing what wa3 done. * I apprehend a better selection of performers for the different characters to be represented could not have been made. The instrument.:i portion of the music was rendered as follows: On the piano by Miss Moll and Miss Maggie Ys. Rhodes, as principals, as sisted by Misses Hudson and Kilpat rick and Misses Davis, and violin by Messrs. Wallace and Murrow. The playing of “Carnival de Veriise,” by Miss Rhodes, was excellent, and at once stamps her as a performer of no little merit. Messrs. Wallace and Murrow are good performers, considering their age. The different scenes in the charades were well rendered. Mention should be made, however, of Miss Emma Carswell as “Aunt Peggy,” in Mrs. Vatican Smythes’Party,” and of Miss Ida Davis and Messrs. W. J. and J. E. Carswell, in play of “MarryiDg for a Fortune.” “ The Young Recruit,” by Miss Mor riss, and “ Fly Across the Ocean Birdie,” by Miss Fryer, were well sung. Both of these young ladies have good voices, and being possessed of grace ful movements, merited and received the applause of the audience. “Helter Skelter.” by Miss Rhodes and Messrs. Murrow and Wallace, could, not have been excelled. “ Golden Chorus,” by Miss Rhodes and Miss Hudson, was very good. In “ Misadventure ” Mr. W. J. Cars well did well as an Irishman ; while Mr. J. C. Carswell fully sustained the character of an old bachelor, and they were ably supported by the accom plished Miss H. L. Davis. “The Girl I Left Behind Me,” by Miss Kilpatrick, was well rendered. The exercises were concluded with “ Katy Kiliairs,” by Miss G. Q Carswell, assisted by Miss Fay and Messrs. W. J. Carswell and C. J. Wallace, and when I say it was well done, I only express what every one says of it. An excellent supper, oysters, ice cream, etc. etc., soon caused the au dience to desert the chapel and repair to the rooms prepared for the recep tion of each as wished to refresh the inner man. I had the honor of an introduction to Mr. Hubbard, of the Waynesboro Expositor. During the exercises, he was busy jotting down an occasional item and talking with the ladies, who thronged around him. Everything passed of pleasantly and all seemed to fully eDjoy themselves. May the Mis sionary Society of Hephzibah have many more such occasions is the wish of a Visitor.

They com manded the admiration of the true and the brave in every land. But how few admire a fine 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 hair. 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 groat that it can be found on the shelves of every druggist in the land. ootl3-eawedfr&cly Dyeing and Cleaning, IN ALL ITS BR4NCHES.

Bronchitis, Asthma, or any dis ease of the Lungs, Throat or Chest, who neglect to use Dr. Tutt’s Expectorant after reading the following letter, written by one of the most estimable ladies in the South: Savannah, Ga., April 28, 1872. Db. Tutt In gratitude for the benefit received by the use of your Expectorant, I do cheerfully add my testimony to its won derful power in curing deep-soated coughs. For several year. I suffered dreadfully with a cough, attended with great difficulty of breathing. I was induced to try your Ex pectorant, and it gave almost immediate relief. I took six bottles, and am now per fectly restored. It is about five months since I began its use, and I have not had an attack since. It has been a great blessing to me; I cannot afford to be without it and heartily recommend it to all who have,lung or throat disease. Very respectfully, Mbs. A. M.
