Thanks.
We return our thanks to St. John’s
Methodist Sunday School for a basket
full of “good things” plucked from
their bountiful Christmas tree.
Robbery.
Jacob White, a negro, was arrested
yesterday on the charge of stealing
sls from a countryman from Columbia
county. It appears they put up to
gether at a house kept by Miranda
Davis, a colored woman, on Broad
street near Hawk’s Gully bridge. The
woman was also arrested.
Murderer Arrested,
Several weeks since a most [brutal
murder was committed at Warrenton,
by Josh Daniel, a negro. After the per
petration of the deed, Josh fled, and
brought up at Augusta, where our po
lice soon ferreted him out from his
hiding-place, and jailed him yesterday.
Burglar Gun.
Recently, we noted a burglary which
occurred on the Milledgeville road, by
which a burglar was shot or frightened
away by a patent burglar gun. The
weapon in question is an old musket
barrel shortened, which is fastened to
a table and revolves on a pivot, and so
arranged by a rod which is fixed over
the top, that, while it revolves the gun
towards the point where a shutter or
door is attempted to be opened, it re
leases a hammer which discharges the
gun. It is a very simple and effective
weapon. __
Masonic Installation.
On Monday night, at half-past seven
o’clock, the officers of Webb Lodge,
No. 166, F. A. M., recently elected, will
be publicly installed at the beautiful
Lodge Room, Masonic Hall. The cere
monies will be of a most interesting
character, and our citizens, especially
the ladies, will be afforded an opportu
nity to see how the Mystic Brother
hood conduct themselves. The hall will
be properly heated and ample accom
modations provided for all who may
desire to attend. There will be an ad
dress by Rev. Z T. Sweeney, and the
well known eloquence of this distin
guished divine will insure a rich intel
lectual treat. The music has been
selected for the occasion, and some
thing excellent may be confidently ex
pected. All Masons and our citizens,
and the ladies in particular, are cordi
ally invited. After the installation
ceremonies, there will be a sociable
down stairs, in Masonic Hall proper,
tickets to which may be obtained from
any member of the committee, for the
sum of one dollar.
T. F. Bonnett was arrested by the
police yesterday, charged with being a
fugitive from justice, and was handed
over to T. N. Shirley, the Sheriff of
Warren county. Bonnett is charged
Tvith committing a burglary and steal
ing a sum of money and a watch.
A JOURNEY TO THE SEA.
Port Royal —Beaufort —The Fleet —
The Surroundings, Etc.
A few days ago, we had the pleasure
of making one of an excursion party,
consisting of Col. Wm. Johnston, ex-
President C. C. and A. R. R.; Col.
T. B. Palmer, President C. C. and A. R.
R.; Superintendent James Anderson, of
the same; Hon. E. B. Wesley, of N. Y.;
Col. Williams, of N. Y.; Col. Biack and
Maj. Potter, of the U. S. A.; Col. J. B.
Johnson, Allen McCauley, J. M.
Mackay, W. W. Ficklen, Maj. S. A.
Pearce, of Columbia, and from this
city, W. M. Timberlake, Capt. W. N.
Mereier, W. T. Davidson, Esq. Colonel
D. C. Wilson, President, and Col. Flem
ing, Superintendent of the Port Royal
Railroad, to the termini of the above
road. We had a special train, and made
excellent time,leaving Augusta at 1 a. m.,
Wednesday, and arriving in Port Royal
in ample time for breakfast. We found
a most excellent repast prepared for us
at the Mansion House, by the pro
prietor, Mr. C. E. Warren, who,
by the way, has now a splendid
hotel with every convenience and com
fort, and commanding a fine view of
the harbor.. The hotel has been much
improved of late, and is now first-class
ia every lespect, and Maj. Warren de
serves much credit for his energy and
enterprise. After breakfast we were
to have gone down to the fleet and
lower sounds, but the steam launch
which came after us breaking one of
her pumps, we were delayed for seve
ral hours. President Wilson and Su
perintendent Fleming at once proposed
that we should visit Beaufort, and we
jumped aboard the cars, and, upon
going up the road about three miles,
found ourselves at the station, where
carriages were in waiting to carry us to
the village, about three-quarters of a
mile distant, and once so renowned for
its wealth and refinement. We were
driven through and around the town,
ani out to the National Cemetery. This
is a beautiful place, well laid out and
nicely kept, and in this city of the dead
there are buried about twenty thousand
soldiers. A short drive brought us to the
Sea Island Hotel, where we had a flue
lunch with accompaniments, which were
much enjoyed.
Beaufort is still a pretty place, not
withstanding carpet-bagger and negro
rale has made it look like only a wreck
of what it was war. We saw
at the hotel the new made judge, so
called Wiggins. He is regarded like “Old
Necessity,” so far as his legal attain
ments—if such a term can apply where
there is not the dream of the shade of
the shadow of legal knowledge to be
found—are concerned. We should judge
however, that he was all right ou first
principles, for it is said that a short
time ago, when he was acting Solicitor,
that an indictment was presented in
court and was so bungiugly drawn that
it had to be quashed, and upon being
reprimanded by the court for his care
lessness, he tried to shirk the responsi
bility by saying his wife drew it.
We returned to Port Royal in time
to enjoy a fine dinner, and after view
ing the shipping in port—quite a num
ber of schooners loaded with guano
and others loading with lumber and
cotton —we went out to take a view of
the “war ships at sea.” After a pleas
ant sail of about five miles down the
river, we boarded the iron-clad monitor
Dictator and were most kindly re
ceived and courteously entertained by
Capt. A. Weaver, chief surgeon John
C. Spear, assistant surgeon Dr. Austin,
Lieutenants King and A. J. Dab
ney, Henry Monahan, and in fact
all the officers were particularly kind
in showing us around, and many and
pressing were the invitations we had to
stay all night. Most of our party were
land sailors, however, and were afraid
to be around where there was so much
iron and so little ground for it to rest
on. The Monitor sets only about four
feet above water, and as you approach
her all that can be seen is a black mass
of iron with a turret, and which looks
at a little distance like a hogshead
painted black. This is about all that
can be seen from without, and it is
only when you get on board and enter
the turret engine room,furnace pit, etc.,
that any idea can be formed of this iron
monster. We will not undertake to
give a detailed description, for it
would take more time than we can
spare. She has in the turret two im
mense guns that will carry shot
weighing three hundred and seventy
five pounds, and there are now upon
her about one hundred and thirty
five men. She is probably the most
formidable vessel in the navy, and a
visit to her worth a trip to the
coast. She draws about twenty-three
feet, and every one aboard has to live
below the water line, but by reason
of the superior ventilation she is said
to be unusually healthy. From the
Monitor we went to the receiving ship
Pawnee, anchored a short distance off.
Here we were cordially welcomed by
the manly and dashing looking Paymas
ter Wm. C. McGowan and the handsome
and courteous Dr. Charles G. Herndon,
the former being £the paymaster and
the latter the surgeon of the ship.
Six of the party were pressed into
staying all night, among whom was the
writer, and if,ever men were handsome
ly entertained we were. These men
know how to make one feel at home
and were prodigal in their hospitality.
Colonel Johnston remarked, in the
morning, that he was very much in
clined to join the navy. This ship Is
used only as a supply vessel and on her
almost everything known to commerce
is to be found. Anchored a short ways
from the Pawnee is the Ossipee, a beau
tiful sloop of war carrying 6-nine inch
and 1-eleven inch gun. She has two
hundred and twenty men and looks the
picture of grace as she sets quietly at
anchor. We did not go on her as it
was too late. The Pintar, a ship of two
guns and about thirty men, completes
the fleet now in the harbor, but two
other vessels are expected very soon.
On Thursday Capt. Weaver very kind
ly placed at our disposal the steam
launch of the Dictator, and we went
around the harbor for about twenty
five miles, stopping at Trimbleston, a
beautiful and lovely spot about twelve
miles south of Port Royal, aud owned
by Col. Mackay. Here we went ashore,
and arriving at his commodious dwell
ing, found a lunch spread, which was
attacked with keen appetite. Here all
of the party concluded to remain for
the night, except three, and they went
back in a row boat. The writer was
one of them, and seldom recolbcts a
more pleasant trip. The night was
clear and beautiful, the water as calm
as a lake, and as the oars would splash
in them, looked like silver. We had
three darkies, who were as good oars
men as you often see. They made the
trip—twelve miles—in three and a half
hours, against tide, and entertained us
with their singing, which they kept up
incessantly, except when,they stopped
to ask of a friendly boat in passing
whether there was any chance to get a
little “bug juice,” which, we soon
learned, was their name for fire-water.
The party that remained expected to
go the next morniog( Friday,) to Spring
Island, a short distance from Trim
bleston, which is also owned by Col.
Mackay, and is said to contain about
six thousand acres, and to have
about five miles front upon deep
water and a magnificent beach, which
we were wholly unable to discover, but
presume it will be there when the
marsh is cleared away. All parties, we
believe, agreed that Port Royal was
, jusfr the place for a Navy Yard and the
Southern terminus of the Southern Pa
cific Road. The party are under spe
cial obligations to the officers of the
navy for their very kind and courteous
attention, and to the entire managers
of the trip, for it was a most enjoyable
affair throughout. We also had the
pleasure of meeting acting Mayor of
Beaufort, Mr. Geo. Gage, aud Captain
John Masson, of the Port Royal harbor
lightship.
Port Royal seems to be rapidly build
ing up, aud President Wilson and Su
perintendent Fleming, in their earnest
efforts to make the Port Royal Railroad
what it is, and ought to be, a great
success, are contributing no mean
part towards the development of what,
in time, must be a big place, for there
is no finer port on the South Atlantic
coast than Port Royal.

The newspaper agitation in regard to
the miserable mail facilities afforded
Augusta by the recent change of sche
dule, has not been without effect. We
understand an arrangement will soon
be made that will meet with general
approval, by which Northern mails will
reach here quicker than before tbe
present poor system was adopted.
Another View of the Case.
Mr. Editor— Please permit the fol
lowing reply to appear in your paper,
as an answer to an article in your col
umns entitled “a ju9t complaint:”
1. The change made by the Georgia Rail
road was the cause of breaking connection.
This change was not made for the accom
modation of the traveling public, but to in
crease the revenue of the Georgia Rail
road.
2. If the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad changed to suit the Georgia Rail
road It would break the Northern connec
tion, and passengers leaving Augusta
going North would have to lay over twenty
four hours, either in Columbia or Charlotte,
and mails from Augusta would be delayed
the same length of time.
3. If the Charlotte, Columbia and Augus
ta Railroad would run two daily trains
each way, there would only be one North
ern mail in, as the Richmond and Danville
Road, and the Wilmington and Charlotte
Road only run one mail train a day.
4. A freight train leaves Augusta for Co
lumbia every morning at six o’clock, and a
freight train leaves Columbia for Char
lotte every morning at eight o’clock, so
your “just complainant” can take the six
a. m. train, reach Columbia in time to at
tend to his few minute’s business, and
reach home next morning at nine o’clock.
So by looking on these points you will
find that to strike at the root of evil as it
is viewed in your article, you will have to
ask the Georgia Railroad to connect with
the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta, or
ask the roads from New York to Columbia
to change their schedule to suit the Geor
gia Railroad. The easiest can be seen at a
glance. Schedule.
Augusta, Ga., December 24th.
Christmas Celebra ions.
ST. JAMES SUNDAY SCHOOL.
The annual Christmas tree celebra
tion of St. James M. E. Sunday School
took place last night. The church was
filled with the scholars, their parents
and friends, every seat being occupied,
and a number of spectators being at
the doors.
Several of the scholars delivered ad
dresses and made recitations, which
well pleased the large audience pres
ent. The popular Superintendent of
the Sunday School, Mr. W. C. Derry,
presided, aud after the above mention
ed exercises were concluded, he an
nounced that the books which it was
proposed to present to the scholars
were not ready, but would hereafter be
presented. He stated that the presents
provided would be giveu to all the
children present, whether members of
the Sunday School or no|, and none
need feel any delicacy id accepting
them. Messrs. Dodge, Weigle and
Parks were .appointed to deliver the
presents to the children. Across the
centre of the church there was a hand
some evergreen festoon io >p e d at. the
ceiling, and below it were iae words, in
green: “ A Merry Christmas to All! ”
The following was the order of exer
cises ;
Voluntary, by the Choir; Reading
the Scriptures and Prayer, Py Rev. Mr.
Parks ; Music, by the Ch|ur and the
Children ; Reading, Extract from a
Speech on the Bible (Bisjiop George
F. Pierce,) by Miss Lou Lewis ; Recita
tion, “ Christmas Even ” (Capt. H. Cop
pee.) by Miss Susie Starns ; Music, by
the Choir and the Children ; Recita
tion, “ The Singers ” (Longfellow,) by
Miss Ida Adams : Recitation, “ Star of
the East” (Bishop Heberi) by Little
Miss Susie Derry ; Recitation, “ Who
is it?” by Little Miss AnniqHood ; Re
citation, “ Once in Royal David’s City,”
by Little Miss Lizzie Fermi; Music, by
tbe Choir and the Children ; Declama
tion, Extract from a Christinas Speech
(Prof. Derry,) by Master Willie Sher
man.
The tree and the audience room of
the church were trimmed and deco
rated in excellent taste by the ladies,
assisted by three or four young gentle
men of St. James Sunnav School. The
evening was delightfully spent by all
present, and by none mo>e than the
children.
KOLLOCK STREET BAPTIST CHURCH.
The annual Christmas Concert of the
Kollock Street Baptist Sunday School
was held last evening, in the church. A
very large audience assembled to wit
ness the exercises. It wm quite an
interesting affair, and the children
seemed to be very well pleased with
their presents. The following was the
programme arranged for tpe evening:
The exercises were opened by sing
ing the hymn—“ All hail the of
Jesus’ name;” followed by prayer by
Rev. J. S. Patterson; sieging by the
school of the song No. 14$, in “ Pure
Gold;” speech by Master Willie Marks;
singing by a class of young ladies;
song (selected), “ Ringing ; the Merry
Bells;” dialogue—“The Church Critic,”
by a class of boys ; singling by the
school of song No. 18, in “pure Gold;”
dialogue by two young ladies—“ Bea
uty. of Early Piety;” speech by Master
Willie Marks; dialogue-“No Rose
Without a Thorn.” The presents were
then distributed to the children, and
the evening’s entertainment closed by
singing “ The Old, Old Story.”
An Explanation.
The Augusta Constitutionalist calls our
explanatory paragraph in regard to the
recent duel in that city, “a manly apology.’’
It was merely an explanation. If an
apology is necessary it ought to come
from the city editor of our Augusta con
temporary, who, in his comments upon
our paragraph, imputed to us the worst
motives. If either our protests or our
sympathy could restore Mr.- Tilly to his
family and friends he would hot now be a
victim to an interpretation of the Code of
Honor that in all its phases is most cow
ardly and cruel. —Savannah News.
As our friend of the Savannah News
explains that his remarks did not ap
ply personally to the late Mr. Tilly, we
cheerfully accede to the request con
tained in the paragrapli quoted above.
The Constitutionalist office is a unit
in the expression of opinion put forth
by the editor-in-chief, who le editorial
utterances has received the commenda
tion of Augusta, the Stale, and the
country generally.
A Pleasant Affair.
The employes of Mr. JJH. Trump
yesterday presented to that gentleman
a very handsome testimonial, consist
ing of an elegant epergne land a very
fine strawbery or fruit The
presentation was made in a- few appro
priate remarks, and took |lr. T. com
pletely by surprise. The {testimonial
is altogether tasty and appropriate,
and tends to show the esteem in which
Mr. Trump is held by his <mployes.

that the day train would lie resumed

Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative
Pellets are so compounded from con
centrated principles, extracted from
rootd and herbs, as to combine in each
small granule, scarcely larger than a
mustard seed, as much cothartic power
as is contained in any larger pills for
sale in drug stores. They are not only
pleasant to take, but their operation is
easy—unattended with any griping
pain. They operate without producing
any constitutionai disturbance. Unlike
other cathartics, they do not render
the bowels costive after operation, but
on the contrary they establish a per
manently healty action. Being entirely
vegetable, no particular care is required
while using them.
SSOO Bewahd is offered by the Pro
prietor to any one who will detect in
these Pellets any calomel or other
form of mercury, mineral poison, or
injurious drug.
They are sold by Druggists.

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

WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE AU
GUSTA MARKETS.-
Constitutionalist Office, I
6 o’clock P. M., December 24th, 1875.)
Remarks.
Trade has been very good for the weok,
and merchants feel hopeful for the future.
There are no failures to announce, and
collections are reported good.
In cotton the market has been quiet but
steady. There has been no variation in
prices, except in the lower grades, which
nave sold at rather low prices. The better
grades, particularly above middling, have
held their own well, and there is a good
demand for them at full prices.

ENDOWMENT INSURANCE AT LIFE
RATES.
Low Premiums--Definite 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 commend 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 nremiums, and the fact
that the insurance is payable within the
ordinary period of life, makes it
The Most Desirable R rm of
Policy Now Offered
the Public.
The premium is as 1 >w as the usual iife
premium where the insurance is payable
only at death, or tfyp age of ninety, and
the time for payment of the insurance
ranges from the age of 61 to 73 years, or at
death if prior. This period may be 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 aid the usual endowments, the fol
lowing is sufficient:
In 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, is $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. It 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 age.
4th. There can be no loss. In case pre
miums should be discontinued, paid-up in
surance is given for the amount paid 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 be
