Elder Z. T. Sweeney, Maj. H. Cran ston and Mr. J. J. Lathrop, Reception Committee, will receive visitors in the ladies’ room, Union Depot, at which place visitors are requested to report, on arrival of their respective trains, Saturday morning and evening. Death in Cachinnation. John Morris, a young men about 28 years of age, living near Langley, went to a masquerade on Saturday night last. He has always been noted for laughing immoderately at any fun ny incident. Some ludicrous feature of the masquerade caused him to set up a fit of laughing, when suddenly he stopped and fell to the ground. He was picked up, and a physician sent for, but he pronounced the case hope less as Mr. Morris had ruptured a blood vessel. The unfortunate man lingered until Sunday morning, when he died. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his death. Mr. Morris was a member of a cavaliy or ganization during the war, and wrs a universal favorite among a large circle of relatives pnd friends. [Communicated.] Appeal for a Church. There are a number of Presby ter^an families residing in the neighborhood of Sparta, Ga., who, owing to distance, cannot wait the ordinances of re* ligion “ tbat city, and are, therefore, without the means of grace. Finding it absolutely necessary to erect a place of worship and naving ex hausted their utmost efforts, they still require some aid from abroad In or der to obtain such aid they have com missioned the Rev. Dr. and Mr. W. D. Seymour to present their wants and claims to their fellow-chris t'ans in Augusta. I know the cause which Dr. Mullal ly and Mr. Seymour represent to be the cause of Christ, and I hope his servants wi'l aid in supporting P R. Ibvtxe. Augusta, Ga., December 28th. THE COURTS, December 28th, COUNTY COURT. Jennie Anderson, a colored woman, complained of a negro man named Dan forth, for assaulting her. It appears she rented of Danforth, but they quar reled and she moved away. Return ing to secure a pair of tongs, she claim ed Danforth seized her and knocked her around like a bag of potatoes. There was a cloud of witnesses who swore to all sorts of stories. Col. Snead settled the matter by fining Dan forth $lO. recorder's court. Bedford Honusby and Major Wells, two negroes, quarrelled about a debt, and for which privilege they paid the city, through its Recorder, $2.50 each. Lizzie Jackson, a colored woman, for lingua mail, paid into the city treasury $2.50. _ Prince Bismarck received an auto graph letter from the Emperor William, condoling with him on the premature death of Count Eulenburg, who was shortly to have married the Prince’s daughter. The Crown Prince of Ger many added his condolences, and the Kings of Bavaria, Saxony and Wurtem burg sent theirs by telegraph. AH the chief officers of State and high officials called at the Chancellor’s residence to inquire after his health and express their sympathy with him. MINOR LOCALS. Jacob Whalley, the centenarian, is still alive. The Council meet to-night at seven o’clock, to consider taxation, etc. Cotton movements yesterday: one thousand five hundred and sixty-six bales received, one thousand and twen ty bales sold. The Coroner says no one has applied to him for any information relative to the negro girl Mary Taylor, who Was found murdered, in the canal. The girl’s parents, it is said, are living in Augusta. The Richmond Rifle Club has not yet determined where they will have their New Year’s match. The Schuetzen Platz would no doubt be the best place around Augusta. The worst case of malicious mischief we have seen lately, was the breaking of a large pane of glass in the show window of the store of Levy & Son, No. 218 Broad street, by someone firing a pistol ball through it. The prayer meeting under the aus pices of the Young Men’s Christian Association v\ ill be held to night, in the lecture roem of the Baptist Church, at half-past seven o’clock. There will be no services at the St. John’s, Presbyte rian or Christian Churches. The Clinch Rifles hope to see some of the Washington Light Infantry boys of Charleston in Augusta on New Year’s Day. The Charlestonians will have a warm reception. The boy Haley’s case will be examin ed into to-day before Col. Snead, County Judge. Undoubtedly the boy is of unsound mind. The case of Bar ret will be taken up in the County Court to-morrow. Don’t sneer at the bad writing in newspapers. It is often done in a room where four or five men are disputing about the last phase in politics—a state of affairs vastly worse than a toothache. Feminine typographers are not popu lar because male typos consider it un romantic to “set up” with any woman in a printing office. His thirsty som long crave and ior fat, “More copy.” was his cry: His case was hard—the Devil came And knocked his form in pi. “ Constant dripping will wear away a stone.” Part of the debris from the rear of the Globe Hotel lies reached Ellis street, but the city scavenger ; s so near-sighted that he fails to see the mound raised in the middle of the street. The city editor of 'the Augusta Con stitutionalist does not hesitate to apologize for the harsh manner in which he criticised our paragraphical criti cism of the recent deplorable duel near that city. We sincerely trust that our friends of the Constitution/ list will nevermore misinterpret our motives.— Savannah News. The Favorite Magnolia Route. We copy with pleasure the following notices from Western journals of the Magnolia Route, which is destined to be the route to Florida : [St. Paul’s Press.] What Italy and Southern France are to Europe, the Peninsalar of Florida is to the United States, and the number of tourists, invalids and pleasure-seekers who visit that perennial Land of Flowers is annually on the increase. In order to draw attention to the best mears of reaching the famous pleasure resorts in Florida, Mr. Thomas Magill, Western Passenger Agent of the great Magnoiia Route, has visited St. Paul, where he has succeeded in making a most favorable impression as to the superior advantages of the Magnolia Route over all others. Tourists leaving Minnesota and the West and Northwest for Florida will have no difficulty in reaching Louisviiie, Ky., from which point to Atlanta, Ga., there is plain sailing. From Atlanta, however, the great Magnolia Route is preferable, because it takes in the beautiful cities of Augusta, Savannah and ethers, and be cause it has better accommodations, surer connections, reaches more points of inter est, passes through grander scenery, and carries passengers safer and quicker than any other railroad in the South. This is the only route running double daily trains from Atlanta to Jacksonville, Florida, and making close connections, and affording the traveller the pleasure of making the entire trip by day—a superior advantage long sought for. After leaving Atlanta, the Chicago of the South, the passenger will pass through Augusta and Savannah, two of the most beautiful cities to be found in the South. The schedules are so arranged that the traveller can arrive at both places by day and depait by day, atwi'h The hotel accommodations of these cities are equal to any in the country, and afford the most comfortable and convenient resting places for invalids who wish to break their journey to Florida. [Milwaukee News.l When the thermometer gets down near or below zero, we very naturally wish our selves in a more congenial clime, and while casting about to know where to go and liow to reach the desired haven, a word from one who has been there may not be in appropriate at this time. Parties going to Florida, the great and most fashionable re sort at present (Cuba being under a cloud), should go via Louisville, Ky., a beautiful city, thence to Nashville, Tenn., Chatta nooga, and so on to Dalton, thence to At lanta, Ga., where you will be amply re warded by a few days stay, looking over the smartest inland town of the South. Don t fail to take the “Magnolia route” from At lanta to Augusta, and via Port Royal to Savannah, giving you a chance to visit these several line cities en route to Florida, also an opportunity to go through in pal ace coaches night or day over this and connecting roads to Jacksonvi'le and other inviting points on the St. John’s river. The railroad and hotel accommodations of late years have been vastly improved through out the South, which, together with the agreeable climate, makes it really a pleas ure trip, and all who can spare the time and afford the expense should not fail to pay a visit to our Southern States th'S winter. If all the officers of the “ Mag nolia Road” are as efficient and gentle manly “at home" as we find Mr. Thomas McGill, Passenger Agent, abroad, you will vote their route a grand success, es we have done. Mr. Gladstone wrote as follows to a correspondent who asked him to intro duce a bill for the inspection of con vents : “I cunceive that no Institution should be allowed in this country which restrains the personal liberty, as com monly understood, of its members or inmates; but I am not cognizant of the facts with respect to the liberty of the inmates of nunneries on which the jus tification of the measure you suggest would have to rest, and I could not, therefore, undertake to introduce a measure on the subject, even were I taking a larger share than is actually the case in the general legislation of the country.” GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS. R. O. Douglass will perform “ Rex ” in Atlanta. Capt. Peter Laßose, the commander of the steamer Lizzie Baker, will re ceive a benefit to-night at the Savan nah theatre. He deserves it. Since the connection of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad and the Savannah and Charleston Railroad, the business of each has largely increased, and Sa vannah has been materially benefited. A negro abused a white man named Granger on Christmas day at Eden sta tion, in Effingham county, on the Cen tral Railroad. Granger seized a double barrelled gun and shot the negro. The people in North Georgia are still emigrating to Texas in large numbers. One day last week fifty persons left Dalton for that State, and four days afterward six families followed them. A negro man attempted to board the train on the Perry branch road, on Monday afternoon, and fell between the cars and was run over and killed instantly. The crib of Mr. J. T. Redding, of Monroe county, together with five hundred bushels of corn, was burned last Thursday night. The fire is sup posed to have been the work of an in cendiary. Gov. Smith has accepted the follow ing resignations : Of Thomas C. Miller, as Sheriff of Troup county; of John Burrows, as Sheriff of Pulaski county ; of •Capt. M. J. O’Connor, of the Irish Volunteers, Augus f i, Ga.; of Second Lieutenant W. T. Jones, Albany Guards, Albany, Ga. Atlanta’s Chrstmas criminal record: Darkey sliced up with a razor ; dar key’s bead smashed with a rock ; po liceman’s head smashed with a gun : attempt to shoot an officer by an em bezzler. All caused by crooked whis key. Rockdale Register : The gross earn ings of the Georgia Railroad continue to decline, but owing to the superior economy and management of the pre siding officers, the net earnings have been largely increased. Savannah News : The Augusta Con stilationalisi kindly alludes to a lecent letter of Colonel Jones, of the Macon Telegraph, written from Savannah.— Really, we forget what the Colonel said; but wasn’t it something about the quality of the feed he encountered here abouts ? The Newnan Star in canvassing the merits of ex-Governor Johnson’s can didacy for Governor says : He starts thus early in order to be enabled to convass eveiy county in the State thoroughly. He is an old-fashioned Whig, a good hearted gentleman, a splendid lawyer, and we hope he will get beat. Franklin Pence, of Darien, last year, bought a shoat, for which he paid the high price of $6. He fed to it sixteen bushe's of corn, for which he paid $11.55. He paid fifty cents for butcher ing. Total cost of the pork, $19.05. The pig weighed when butchered three hundred and twenty-one pounds net, which he sold for ten cents, making $32.10. From this take the cost, $19.05, and he has $13.05 net profit. Que Taro, one of the principal mem bers of the Japanese troupe now per forming at the Savannah Theatre, was very badly injured by the explosion of a small toy cannon on Christmas eve ning. Mistaking the caDnon for a pis tol, Que Taro held it in his hand and discharged it. The result was an ex plosion, which tore the flesh off the in dex finger and thumb, and otherwise badly injured the hand. Macon Telegraph. 28th: A smart thunderstorm, accompanied by wind and rain, passed over the city about three o’clock yesterday morning. It was a regular April shower, and left the atmosphere as warm as ever it was in April. For nearly a week now we have had warm weather, more like spring than mid-w inter. We saw but terflies flitting about on Sunday, in quest of flowers, while at night the fa miliar hum of the mosquito suggested the necessity of resurrecting bars from their winter hiding places. “The old est inhabitant”—the only authoritative weather oracle—has no recollection of a similar “spell of weather” at this sea son of the year. Columbus Enquirer, 25th: That gal lant soldier and gentleman, Colonel J. G. Blount, died Thursday at his moth er’s residence, near Talbotton. of can cer of the “paucreas.” Physicians will understand the term. The deceased was a member of the firm of Blount, Haiman & Cos. The breaking out of the war found him at West Point, in the third year of the course. He at once tendered his resignation and re turned home. He entered the service as Lieutenant in Dealing’s battery, and participated ? n all the battles of the glorious Army of Northern Virginia. For brilliant and daring conduct in the capture of Plymouth, N. C., under com mand of General Hoke, he was promo ted, on the field, to the rank of Major of artillery. Then he arose to the grade of Lieutenant Colonel, and around Petersburg had command of the artillery defenses in front of Longstreet’s corps, and surrendered his sword at Appomattox with the rem nant of the noblest army the world has ever seen. Accepting the situation, Colonel Blount came home and engag ed in business, for a short time with Capt. Chipley.and then with the Messrs. Haiman in the plow manufactory.— Modest and unassuming, brave to reck lessness, gifted with business tact and an energy that was indomitable, gener uus and whole-souled, he was one of the truest types of the chivalrous sons of the South. Atlanta Constitution: There is a well defiued rumor prevailing in high cir cles that Gov. Sir’th has fully made up his intentions with reference to the troubles connected with the late ad ministration of the State Treasury. Suits against the sureties upon the bonds of ex-Treasurer Jones, it is said, will be instituted at an early day, and doubtless before the Legislature as sembles. It is understood chat all the necessary data and facts are being ar ranged for the attorney who may re present the State, and that all those named, upon f he bonds will be included in the suit. The first step will proba bly be to demand the amount claimed to be due the State from the ex-Trea surer, which will of course be refused upon the plea of the said ex-Treasurer that such amounts are not due. Then the suits will follow. Grant and Nutting promise to be the defendants in the most interesting suit. They claim that they were only tem porary bondsmen, and that therefore the filing of the second bond discharged them from all obligations. The Gov ernor insists that no notice of this was given at the proper time or to the pro per officers, and that they are bound for the full amount of the bond. This question of liability will be the main issue, and promises to be hotly contested. It is said that Grant and Nutting hold a letter from ex-Treasurer Jones, in which the latter admits to them the fact that they were only to be deemed his temporary bondsmen. The reader will readily see the point in all these matters by remembering that by the tax digest showing, the second bond was $70,000 short of the required amount. The Governor is extremely reticent upon these matters, and refuses to say yea or nay to any inquiries, but we deem the fact that suits will soon be instituted against the sureties to be beyond peradventure.

Address, Humphrey’s Homeopathic Medicine Company, 562 Broadway, New York. decs-d&cly Where Does it all Come From?— Pints and quarts of filthy Catarrhal discharges. Where does it all come from ? The mucous membrano which lines the chambers of the nose, and its little glands, are diseased, so that they draw from the blood its liquid, and ex posure to the air changes it into cor ruption. This life-liquid is needed to build up the system, but it is extracted, and the system is weakened by the loss. To cure, gain flesh and strength by using Dr. Price’s Golden Medical Discovery, which also acts directly upon these glands, correcting them, and apply Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy with Dr. Pierce’s Nasal Douche, the only method of reaching the upper cavities where the discharge accumu lates and comes from. The instrument and both medicines sold by druggists and dealers in medicines. deo2B-tutbsa&c Delays are always dangerous in mat ters pertaining to health as well as other interest. A slight cold excites no alarm, perhaps it will get well of itself if let alone, possibly it may, but per haps it will not. A bottle of the cele brated nome Stomach Bitters is a sure fortification against the attacks of this insiduous and universal foe. dec2B-tuth&c Letters from Druggists.— There is no case of Dyspepsia that Green’s August Flower will not cure. Come to the Drug Stores of Barrett & Land and F. A. Beall and inquire about it. If you suffer from Costiveuess, Sick Headache, Sour Stomach, Indigestion, Liver Com plaint, or derangement of the Stomach or Liver, try it. Two or three doses will relieve you. Boschee’s German Syrup is now sold in every town and city in the United States. We have not less than five hundred letters from Druggists, saying it is the best medi cine they ever sold for Consumption, Throat or Lung disease. Sample bot tles of both 10 cents each.

Strange that persons will use worthless extracts when such natural flavors as Dr. Price’s are to be had. They are really equal to his celebrated Cream Baking POwder. dec2B-tutbsasu&c A Valuable Medical Treatise. —The edition for 1876 of the sterling Medical Annual, knowm as Hostetter’s Almanac, is now ready, and may be obtained, free of cost, of druggists and general coun try dealers in all parts of the United States and British America, and indeed iu every civilized portion of the West ern Hemisphere. It combines, with the soundest practical advice for the pre servation and restoration o? health, a large amount of interesting and amus ing light reading, and the calendar, astronomical calculations, chronologi cal items, &c., are prepared with great care, and will be found entirely accu rate. The issue of Hostetter’s Almanac for 1876 will probably be the largest edition of a medical work ever pub lished in any countiy. The proprietors, Messrs. Ilostetter & Smith.; Pittsburgh, Pa., on receipt of a two pent stamp, will forward a copy by mail to any per son who cannot procure one in his neighborhood. dec23- tuthsa&c HOW AWFULLY CULPABLE MUS r be those afflicted w ith Consump tion, 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. Dr. 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-seated coughs. For several years 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 t.m now per fectly restored. It is about live months since" I began its use, and I bar. not aad an attack since. It has been a great blessing to me; I cannot afford to be without it anu heartily recommend it to all who have,lung or throat disease. Very respect fully, Mrs. A. M.

ENTIRELY REWRITTEN BY THE ABLEST WRITERS ON EVERY SUBJECT. P>'inted from New Type, and Illustrated with several Thousand Engravings and Maps. The work originally published under the title of THE NEW AMERICAN CYCLO PAEDIA was completed in 1863, since which time, the wide circulation which it has at tained in all parts of the United States, and the signal developments which has taken place in every branch of science, literature aud art, have induced the editors and üblishers to submit to an exact and thoro ugh revision, and to issue anew edition en titled THE AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA. Within the last ten years the progress of discovery in every department of knowl edge lias made anew work of reference an imperative want. The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the indus trial and useful arts, and the convenience and refinement of social life. Great wars and consequent revolutions have occurred, involving national changes of peculiar moment. The civil war of our own coun try, which was at its height when the last volume of the old work appeared, lias happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and in dnstrial activity has been commenced. Large accessions to our GEOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE Have been made by the indefatigable ex plorers of Africa. The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view a multitude of new men, whose names are in evury one’s mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the par ticulars. Great battles have been fought and important sieges maintained, of which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in PERMANENT AND AUTHENTIC HISTORY. In preparing tlie present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim of the Editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh pro duction in literature, and of the newest inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of of the progress of POLITICAL AND HISTORICAL EVENTS. The work has been begun after long and careful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful termination. None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been PRINTED ON NEW TYPE, Forming in fact anew Cyclopaedia, with the same plan and compass as its predeces sor, but with a far greater pecuniary ex penditure, and with such improvements in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowl edge. THE ILLUSTRATIONS, Which are introduced for the first time in the present edition, have been added not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explana tions in the text,. They embrace all branches of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarka ble features of scenery, architecture and art, as well as the various processes of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for instruction rather than em bellishment, no pains have been spared to insure their ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE. The cost of their execution is enormous, and it is belived they will find a welcome reception as an admirable leaturo of the Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its high charac- This work is sold to subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It will be complete in Sixteen Large Octavo Volumes, each containing about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous colored Lithographic Maps.
