A negro who came from Washing ton, Ga., on Sunday with an excursion party, was stabbed in the shoulder and side by a man he quarreled with. He was taken home by his friends. The man who did the stabbing made good his escape. Benefit for the Cavalry Survivors. The performance tendered by Happy Cal Wagner and his troupe to-morrow (Wednesday) evening, for the benefit of the Veteran Cavalry Survivors As sociation, promises to be a grand suc cess. While proving a great advantage to the Veterans, in affording them in creased means wherewith to aid their needy comrades and their families, it will at the same time increase the popularity of Cal Wagner and his minstrels. We are sure he will fully sustain the reputation he has previous ly gained in the South, and will give one of his most entertaining perform ances. The advertisement of the bene fit appears in our columns this morn ing. Masonic. At the annual convocation of Webb Lodge, No. 166, F. and A. M., held last night, NY. M., John S. Davidson, de livered a very eloquent address on the general condition of the Lodge and Order during the past year, which was listened to with profound attention by a large number of brethren. The elec tion for officers for the ensuing year was held with the following result: John S. Davidson, W. M; H. Brandt, S. W.; J. W. Broom, J. W.; Chas. E. Coffin, Treasurer; Geo. Adam, Secreta ry; Chas. H. Strickland, S. D.; Geo. W. Perkinson. J. D.; E. H. Pughe and J. T. Denning, Stewards; John B. Pournelle, Marshal; A. E. Blalock, Tyler. The officers elected will be publicly Installed at Masonic Hall on next Mon day night. The members of Social and Harmony Lodges, transient brethren and the public generally are invited to attend. There iwill be an address by the Rev. Z. T. Sweeney, pastor of the Christian Church, and a sociable. The affair promises to be a brilliant one, and we presume our Masonic friends will be greeted with a large audience. Tke Quintessence of Meanness. Mr Tilley, of Augusta, heard that some rme had been repeating certain slanderous JriEL concerning him. He found the person, ffiraJS him. and Mr.Tilley to .killed. And yet the “chivalry insist that dueling iJ “/ii wav to appease wounded honor. The outionKdid fir. Tilley get satisfaction? ft not, who did ?-Savannah News. We are of opinion that no other ma than the author of the above could be found in the State of Georgia, or pos gibiy the entire South, capable of pen ping such an outrageous paragraph. MINOR LOCALS. Anew Catholic pay school will be started up town soon. The Georgia Infantry (colored), were out for street drill yesterday. The banks of the canal near the Reservoir need repairs. The water has washed them badly. On Sunday night, a negro stole an overcoat from the Globe Hotel, but was pursued and caught after a long chase by one of the city police. Cotton movements yesterday: One thousand four hundred and thirty-six bales received; nine hundred and forty four bales sold. Pelot & Cole have presented us with a splen lid photo of the late Mr. Tilly. It is a perfect likeness. The Richmond Huzzars will have a tilt on Thursday and wind up with a coronation ball in the evening. Tickets for Oglethorpe, Cos. B, Plume Drill and Hop can be had from any member of the company, or at Brahe’s store. Springfield rifles, of the new model, will be used by the teams who shoot at the Richmond Rifle Club matches on New Year’s Day. J. B. Reaney, the engineer of the Georgia Railroad, who died from in juries, received while on duty, was buried in Augusta yesterday. He leaves a wife and four children. “To what complexion have we come at last.” A gentleman tells us that re cently he was iu company with about a dozen gentlemen, and, wanting some tobacco, he asked for a chew, and out of the dozen, not a single person, be sides himself, chewed tobacco. The fashion is evidently dying out. Messrs. Roberts & Cos., wholesale grocers of this city, have presented us with a picture of two “dead beats,” the Judge and the Colonel, which are per fect representations of characters we see in every day life. We have adorned our sanctum with this brochure. We have been shown a cabinet size photo of a group of the Clinch Rifles, from which an enlarged picture will be taken for presentation to the Washing ton Light Infantry of Charleston. The back ground is a most striking feature of the picture. This piece of art is the work of Pelot & Cole. The magnificent sleeping car “Con garee,” of the Magnolia line, went through last eveuiog. This car is of the Pullman pattern, and one of the finest ever turned out by that com pany. This new route is becoming a great favorite with tourists, and the “Magnolia line” bids fair to monopolize the largest share of the business Flori da-wards. ■ Concert and Hot Supper. The concert and hot supper, given last evening, by the ladies of Kollock Street Baptist Church, was a most en joyable affair. The singing of the Misses T. was certainly very fine. The whole entertainment was a perfect success. Below we give the programme for the evening : 1. Quartette —Professors Reese and Brown and class—sacred. 2. Guitar Duett—Messrs. S. and B. 3.

Yesterday afternoon, quite a large crowd gathered at the Fair Grounds to witness the closing heat in the race be tween the r. g. Basil Duke and g. m. Lucy, mile heats, best three in live. Four heats were run Saturday after noon, but on account of darkness com ing on, it w T as decided to postpone the last heat to Monday afternoon. A fair start was made, when the mare went slightly ahead, but was soon over taken and passed by the Duke. The latter, however, broke at the half mile, which gave the mare an opportunity to get even and pass him, but on the last turn approaching the home stretch the horse regained his lost ground and came in ahead, winning the heat and race. Time, 2:35 SUMMARY. Basil Duke 1 2 2 11 Lucy 2 1 1 2 2 CHICKEN DISPUTES. Considerable interest was manifested at the Fair Grounds in the main to be fought between fowls representing Georgia and Tennessee. Out of the twenty-one fights proposed sixteen were matched, and the first fight took place yesterday afternoon. The winning side was Georgia, represented by the Macon party. This leaves fifteen fights yet to be decided. It is expected that seven of tfiese will take place to-day and the balance to-morrow. A large amount of money, it is un derstood, is staked on the result of these fights. Generous. Yesterday Mr. J W. Harris received tho following dispatch : St. Louis, Mo., Deo. 20, 1875. To J. W. Harr is: Your letter of the 17th received. How is Tilly ? Draw on ns at sight for SSOO if he needs it. • Chas. P. Bubr & Cos. Messrs. Burr & Cos., are a prominent provision firm in St. Louis, and had had business connections with Messrs. Harris & Tilly. Major Branch also received a letter yesterday from a prominent merchant of Richmond, Va.. asking for particu lars of the duel, and offering to pay any bills that might be contracted in consequence of Mr. Tilly’s sickness. These two documents show that Mr. Tilly had warm friends in other places as well as Augusta. ] THE COURTS. SUPERIOR COURT. December 20th. Thomas Scott, a negro, for larceny from the house, was sentenced to the chain gang for twelve months. Daniel Cassin, another negro, was also sent on the chain gang for twelve months for stealing a suit of clothes. recorder’s court. On Sunday, for getting intoxicated, William Smith was fined $lO and costs. Yesterday, a negro was fined $2.50 for getting drunk, and another one for a similar offense, was reprimanded and discharged. —*•■ First Baptist Church. Rev. D. Shaver supplied the pulpit of the First Baptist Church on Sunday morning. The speaker treated the text—Job iii, 23—as the language of perplexity, wruug from a man, eminent alike for his virtues and his afflictions, who knew not at the time why God pursued him with stroke on stroke. A similar per plexity casts its shadow, at seasons, around all of us, aud the cry of the text is uttered by all human lips. It was the purpose of the speaker to sug gest the proper improvement of the events of Providence which startle, perplex and overwhelm us. He argued that we should remember their glorious origin. Nothing occurs on the earth which is not either the performance, or the appointment, or the permission of God; and when we are tempted to utter the cry of the text, this thought should strike dumb the murmur on our lips. He argued also that we should re member their appeal to our humility. They are parts of a divine plan which reaches from everlasting to everlasting, and ®f which every being and every event forms a part; a universal plan, and yet a unit; a plan which was de vised by infinite intelligence, and can be comprehended therefore by no other. This thought should prevent us from impeaching the plan, or the Author of the plan, because we cannot discern the signs and signatures of divine wisdom and love,in these events, and should strike dead the discontent in our hearts. He argued, further, that we should remember their final result. In the last day, the dark passages in the volume of Providence shall be ex pounded ; aud every soul of man shall be seen to have reached just the end which justice and wisdom and love ap prove. And the speaker summed up the lessons of the subject in the words of the poet: “With patient mind thy course of duty run; God nothing does, nor suffers to be done; But thou wouldst do thyself, couldst thou but see, The eud of all events as well as He.” The Last Correspondence. The following has been handed us for publication: Editor Constitutionalist :—I submit to you the last correspondence between Mr. Chew and myself, as proposed by the board, Messrs. C. W. Doughty and J. M. Turpin, received at 12 o’clock night of the 15th inst. J. W. Harris. * The following is the note submitted by the board, to be sent to Mr. Ratcliffe on the part of Mr. Tilly, and agreed to by Mr. Harris, the latter’s friend. “Remarks, detrimental to my character, coming to my ears as having been repeated by you, makes it obligatory upon me to demand your authority.” “Your note received. The rumors that you refer to came to my ears in the shape of a common report, and as such were re peated by me, so lint the difficulty that would attend an effort of the kind com pels me to decline to cite you any special authority. W. H. Chew, “For his friend.” Dec. 15th, 12 o’clock Wednesday night. New Books. Cartoons. By Mrs. Margaret J. Pres ton. Mrs. Preston is one of the sweetest and most artistic poets in America. We are glad tbat she has, in the volume be fore us, collected her verses, each one of which is a gem. The South has cause to be proud of this child of song, and her dainty volume should grace the library of every cultivated man and woman. We shall treasure it among our sanctissima and transmit it as a sacred trust to our children. We can not too much cherish and encour age a woman of the South who displays so much true genius and such fine cul tivation. This exquisite volume is from the publishing house of Roberts Brothers, of Boston. We are indebted to Messrs. W. T. Richards & Brother for a copy. The Chevalier Casse-Cou. A Novel. The Chevalier Casse-Cou is an admi rable specimen of French romantic lit erature, and is the ablest work of For tune du Boisgobey, a celebrated Paris ian literateur. It has been translated into pure English, with amazing force and rare eloquence, by Col. Thomas Pictou. Casse-Cou has a strangely in volved yet perfectly probable plot, and the characters are such as may be met with at any time, in either the salons or cellars of the wonderful City of the Seine. The author, though he de scribes the vicious as well as the good, never velitates with gilded criminality, but wages a war to the death with every species of iniquity. We are indebted to Mr. A. F. Pendle ton for a copy of this work. Currency and Banking. By Bonamy Price. Published by D. Appleton & Cos., New York. This work is founded upon Prof. Price’s celebrated Oxford University lectures. It is one of most masterly expositions of a great and absorbing question ever given to the public, and should he in the hands of all intelli • gent men. By one of our most practi cal merchants it is pronounced the “ best book of the kind he ever read.” We heartily endorse this commenda tion. The publishers, Messrs. Appleton & Cos., have our thanks for a copy. Mr. Pendleton. As the daughter of Hon. George H. Pendleton is convalescing, it will afford the distinguished Ohio statesman an opportunity of visiting Charleston for a couple of days. Some of our citizens are talking of having an excursion up the canal, in order to give Mr. Pendle ton an opportunity of seeing our cele brated water po • er. The Warrenton Clipper comes to us with the “inside” turned up side down. The Last Sad Scene. On Sunday, one of the -largest con gregations ever gathered within the walls of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, assembled on the occciion of t.he funeral of Charles Dawsofi Tilly. Rev. W. H. Clarke, D. D., the factor, officia ted, and after reading tUe burial ser vice, delivered the following address: He said : “Our service fa/ the burial of the dead is full and c covers en tirely all points necessary tobe considered, and there is; seldom oe>-&siiin' to say any thing in addition to it. But the raelancholv occasion which brings us togi-'iher here, may perhaps justify whav lam atput to speak. The law of the iritate settled the character of the occurrence itself, and I aeed not dwell upon that. This law ought always to be strictly enforced. The unfitness of the “Code ’ to settle dif ferences and redress wrongs has been clear ly set forth iu our city papers within the last two days, and I pass over that point also. VY r e are all very pro ierly shocked that such an event could ha\= ' taken place in a Christian and a civilized community. We ought to feel ashamed, d?-pressed, peni tent, that the condition of society among our people is such as to rne-ie that event possible, it argues the prevalence of pes tilential malaria in the moidl and spiritual atmosphere, which dem|m<s3 serious thought and attention, and i’hieh ought to be removed or remedied, so ;*s to render a similar occurrence among? us hereafter wholly impossible. * 1 call your attention, therefore, to two considerations, which are, I sear, generally neglected in our practice. * This life of man, what ijf, it? Whence comes it? Your life comes from God; be longs to God. Consider it *as emanating from Him, or as His gift, ifc still belongs solely and exclusively to Ifim. It is that by which we are capable of ; holding com munion with Him, and of whose use by us He is justly jealous. You rave no right, therefore, to take the life of {another, to in jure it, or lessen its capacity!for action aud enjoyment by any means whatever; nor have you any right to exjlose your own life to harm, or injury, or dthtruction, con trary to the law of God or iajin. But someone has injured! wronged you, lias forfeited his life to you, :by his wllfull Interference with your life) Be it so; but this gives you no authority to touch his life—a thing so sacred to Almighty God, so exclusively claimed and appropriated by Him, thatVou cannot have it save at the risk of offending Him, as Vontonly as if you should ascend to the fieavon of hea vens and lay a sacriligious Rand upon His eternal throne. I But, you ask, Does not thcLuilty deserve punishment? Is not the | wrong to be righted? “Dearly beloved? avenge not yourselves, but rather gi|e place unto wrath. Vengeance is mine l l will repay, saith the Lord.” > "Vengeance is Mine, saith the Lord.” Wrongs must be righted, punishment vis ited upon wrong-doers; but t should ever be done with strict justice; and the God “Who is Holy and just, a Arne can mete out punishment to transgressors with en tire impartiality. Admit that we have been evidently injuried, insulted, hurt in some feature of our life, yhieh we feel most deeply, and rightly s<<i. But can we safely, in our wratfi and shojt-sighteduess. unable for the time calmnsy to view the matter in all its bearings, ‘undertake to avenge the injury for our Self? Can we venture to inflict a vengance|which obliges us to lay hands upon thatjlife which be longs to God. If the manjwho wrongly invades the citadel of anothe| life, commits sacrilege,the man who interferes with God’s awful prerogative ot punishifig the guilty, regardless of consequences,i virtually re bels against the sovereignty of the King of Kings, undertake for tbedtime to wrest from His omnipotent handtthe sceptre of universal dominion. I Such an event as we now Consider must indicate a forgetfulness of i ? ie sanctity of life, and of the severe jt&lousy with which Giid reserves to Himself and guards against invasion, His exclusive preroga tive of avenging wrongs land settling differences among the children of men It becomes us all theiel’ore, and we should dp it to-day, sarioutmy to inquire how far our rule of conduct. i; v f what it ought to be in this connection; hollar we are al ways careful “to hurt nobo|iy by word or deed,” and to “do unto ad n tji as WC would they should do unto us.” It becomes us, aud by God’s help we can do it it ye will, never t > put in peril the life or liaf piness of an other, on account of leal ou supposed in jury which he may have o)ue us; and, above ad, never to give another just occa sion to take offense, or feel injured, by any thing which we may do or sa*/. And espe cially does it become all, instead of sitting in judgment upon what ha|i already oc curred, trying to form a sett;led opinion as to the comparative guilt oi- innocence of parties who have been invoiced in serious difficulties, rather lo look to-our own i rin cipie, and cultivate such reverence and love towards God, and such respect and obe dience to His authority, as will keep us al ways at pea-e with Him; ftjr only as we are at peace with Him can we, hope to make “peace, good will towards me|i.” So doing, we shall help to render public opinion what It ought to be, aad be able, junder God, to purify aud elevate the sentiments of so ciety, and render the recurrence of such an event as has lately amazuc*and humbled us literally impossible. ? The casket which held/the remains was a very handsome oneiof rosewood with silver handles aud tri|amings, and thfftop was covered witji beautiful flo ral tributes. I The following gentleman acted as pall bearers: J. O. Math|wson, Jesse Turpin, Melvin I. Branch, W. W. Wil cox, Marion J. Yerdery, Kent Bisell, Ker Boyce, Z. W. Carwile, lliarris D’An tignac. j The singing was fine, the funeral chant being selected from the Groterex collection. The solo parts pf the hymn “Jesus, Savior of my Soul/' were finely rendered by Miss Lizzie Qardner and Dr. Goodrich. The hyinn, j 'Nearer, My God, to Thee,” was also beautifully ren dered. The services were iYost solemn, and many were affected to tears. After the services in the church were over, the funeral procession was-formed, and proceeded to the City Cemetery. After the remains had been deposited in the grave, and bricked in, a inumber of young ladies strewed th< spot with beautiful flo.vers, consisting mainly of lovely camellias, and onthfj outer euge of the grave a border of gnjen was laid. It was a most touching aijd beautiful incident, and at its conclusion the crowd dispersed. | From earth all came, to earth must all return, ” ■ Frail as the cord, and brittle a? the urn.

Dr. A. Bos ehee’s German Syrup has Jately been introduced iu this country from Ger many, and its wondrous cures aston ishes every one that try it. If you doubt what we say in print, cut this out and take it to your druggist—F. A. Beall and Barrett & Land—and get a sample bottle for ten cents and try it, or a regular size for 75 cents. nov3od&ceow Our Family Bread. —Truly the most important adulterations to avoid are those which are calculated to injure the “staff of life,” our family bread. We know that merchants who supply their customers with pure articles like Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder and his True Flavoring Extracts, retain better patrons, have a larger trade, and make more money, than those who buy and recommend articles that are poor and cheap. Besides, its a pleasure to have articles that never fail to give satisfac tion, and that can be used with safety. Aside from its excellence, Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder is one-third stronger, two cans equal to three of other kinds. dec2l-thusasu Each generation sees some great in vention which is destined to have a never ending influence over all succeed ing generations. Our grandfathers saw the steam engine invented—-our fathers were the first to see the light ning chained and made subservient to man’s use, but it was reserved for the present generation to witness the crowning triumph of all ages, and the most valuable of all discoveries, the celebrated Home Stomach Bitters, which wiff always be regarded as man’s greatest blessing. dec2l-wedfr&c A Health-Promoting Stimulant.— Physicians, who certainly ought to be the best judges of such matters, de clare that wholesale stimulation is not only defeirable, but essential in many instances. When the temporary good effect of a sound stimulant is confirmed and rendered permanent, as in the case of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, by the action of tonic and alterative princi ples combined with it, it becomes infi nitely more efficacious as a renovant of physical energy and a corrective of those conditions of the body which invite disease. The Bitters have re ceived the emphatic sanction of midical men who have observed the effect of that popular stimulative cordial as a remedy for weakness, nervousness, dyspepsia, constipation, inactivity of the liver, malarious fevers, and many other disorders.

Policies Upon All the Various Plans of Insurance. All Policies Non-Forfeitable—Strictly a Home Company, with its capital and in vestments at home. ENDOWMENT INSURANCE AT LIFE RATES. Low Premiums—Deflnite Con tracts. The Cotton States Life Insurance Com pany, of Macon. Ga., desirous of meeting the demand of the insuring public for low rates., and contracts that can be under stood by all, offers the Endowment Life-Rate Policy, With confidence that an examination of the plan is all that is necessary to oomrnend it to the favor of all desiring insurance. This plan secures two objects: Ist. It provides for those dependent upon us in the event of death. 2d. It provides for our old age in case we attain a stipulated age. The low rate of premiums, and the fact that the insurance is payable within the ordinary period of life, makes it The Most Desirable F rm of Policy Now Offered the Public. The premium is as low as t'e usual life premium where the insurance is payable only at death, or the age of ninety, and the time for payment of the insurance ranges from the age of 01 to 73 years, or at death if prior. This period may he short ened at any time, at the option of the in sured, by ‘additional payments for that purpose. To illustrate the difference between this plan a> and the usual endowments, the fol lowing is sufficient: lu all Mutual Companies the ordinary premium at age 41, payable at age 68, is $42.75 per SI,OOO. The premium on Endowment-Life-Rate plan at age 41, payable at ago 68, i3 $32.47 per thousand dollars. Showing a saving of Twenty-five per Cent, to the Policy Holder. Reasons for insuring on the Endowment Life-Rate Plan : Ist. Iu gives the insurance at the lowest possible cost. 2 '. It provides for your family in case of death. 3d. It provides for yourself in old ag *. 4th. There can be no loss. In case pre miums should be discontinued, paid-up in surance is given for the amount pail in premiums. sth. It is better than a savings bank. The first premium paid secures a fortune, and if pa> ments are continued the accu mulations and amount insured will bo much more than could be earned by the most fortunate savings bank. 6th. It secures the amount at a stipulated age, within the ordinary period of life: and 7th. By this means it is no longer neces sary to “ die to win.” Endowments at Life Rates.

The Bible refers to it and says: “Were an angel to come down front heaven, ye would not believe.” It is the cause of much injury. We are disposed to doubt the sincerity of our best friends, and so far is it indulged, that i often leads to misanthropy This is particularly applicable to the vir tues of many truly valuable remedial agents, however strong they may be en dorsed.
