The New Catliolic School House.
Next Monday, the new school house
adjoining St. Patrick’s Church will be
opened with about one hundred schol
ars. In consequence of the inability
of Bishop Gross to visit Augusta for
some days, this religious ceremonies of
dedication will not take place until the
middle of January. The course of
studies at this new [school will be very
thorough, and will be graded high
enough to prepare young men for a
collegiate course.
A Hint to Parents.
The brazen conduct of a
ber of small boys whojjppeared in the
Superior as spectators,
yesterday J(( ><< ! the preliminary exami-
boy Barrett charged with
-erfurder, was offensively prominent.
They coolly took possession of the
lawyers’ chairs, many of them spit to
bacco juice on the matting, with the
air of Burke county veterans, and ac
ted generally in such a manner as to
cause unfavorable remarks. They
should have been turned out of the
Court Room, and sent home.
Tbe Georgia Railroad.
It will be seen from our advertising
oolumns that the Georgia Railroad and
Banking Company declared a dividend
of four per cent., payable on and after
tbe 15th of January next. This time
was required to make up the list, over
fourteen thousand in number—no
small job, with a small
clerical force. But it’s done, and now
we leafn they are ready to pay to all,
on demand, so as to avoid the rush
and liability of error and confusion,
upon the 15th of January. But it
might have required even until that
date to verify balance, correctly,
its stock list.
False Report.
It was rumored in town yesterday,
that Mr. George Damm, of Hamburg
had%een killed in a brawl the night
previous. We dispatched our reporter
to the ancient burg, who took two
“Lagers” with the so-called defunct.
For a dead man, Mr. D. was very lively.
Mr. D. is well known to our people as a
quiet, unobtrusive citizen, who minds
his own business, and allows others to
do the same. The facts are, that
three or four young men from
this city went to Hamburg on
.“breeze,” purchasing their “tangle
on the other side of Jor-
Going up Schultz Hill, one of the
y fired his pistol at Moses W. Sql
i, an innocent colored man, Who
wending his way in the direc-
Moses had the party aßj&sted
expating the law by firing a pistol
‘ <£he ca\?- They were fined §5
\ ndeth Mr. Damm’a death. |

Business over the Port Royal route
is increasing. Next week two steam
ers sail from New York for that point,
viz : Tuesday and Thursday.
We beg to acknowledge the receipt
of a package, bound round with white
ribbon, containing some elegant wed

Arrangements have been made by

A few weeks since, we notecl the pe
culiar movements of a class of persons
who employed their leisure time, in

We received yesterday a nice basket
of lettuce, raised by Maj. Dickson at
his place near this city. We tested
them at dinner, and pronounce them
the most delicate we have seen, lo!
these many days. They are hot-house
raised, which fully accounts for their
tenderness. We understand that Jud
kins & Shaw, between the new post
office and the Christian Church, will
have a supply for sale every day.
Ben Hill on tbe Situation.
Noticiug, yesterday, on the registry
of the Planters’ Hotel, in neat chirog
raphy, the entry, “B. H. Hill, Athens,
Ga.,” we sent up a card to the gentle
man thus registered. Receiving an
invitation to walk up stairs, we found
the honorable gentleman in the ladies’
parlor, and after a few moments spent
in general conversation, of his own ac
cord, Mr. Hill commenced to review
the situation of affairs at the National
Capital. He said that of all the public
men in Washington, Senators Thurman
and Bayard were the only ones who
rose to the level of statesmen. The
Democracy in the House of Represent
atives were thoroughly united, and
would not be driven into any foolish
actions by the desperation of the Re
publicans, who already see that the
power is rapidly slipping from their
grasp. Mr. Blaine was the leader
of the Republicans, and his di
rections were implicitly fallowed under
any and all circumstances. The out
look for the Democracy was a promis
ing one, but he thought that the true
policy would be not to attempt to cor
rect the mistakes of the Republican
party, but to indicate what would be
done by the Democracy if placed in
power in 1876. He then entered
into % very full explanation about
the probable action of the Democracy
in dealing with the financial questions,
and measures shaped to bring around
retrenchment in carrying on the Gov
ernment. At least $30,000,000 a year,
yes, $50,000,000 could be saved by cut
ting down expenses, and the Commit
tee of Ways and Means, of which he
was a member, would take hold of the
subject in the most determined way.
He spoke of the chairman of the com
mittee, Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, in the
highest terms, and said he was a gen
tleman in eveiy way fitted to carry on
the duties of his very important posi
tion with acceptability to the Demo
cratic party.
Leaving National politics, he spoke
of the case of ex-Treasurer Jones, and
said he had been retained by the bonds
men of Col. Jones. He defended the
ex-Treasurer very warmly, and said
there was not a more honest man in
the State of Georgia. No doubt the
State had been swindled out of the sum
of $170,000, but it was through no fault
of Col. Jones.
Emancipation Celebration.
To-morrow, the celebration of the
issuance of the emancipation procla
mation will occur. The colored mili
tary companies and societies will
parade, and enjoy their usual speech
ifying in the Superior Court room.
The orator will be Edwin Belcher, and
we trust that he will give the colored
people more sensible advice than Dr.
Turner and Jeff Long gave their co
adjutors a few weeks since, at the same
place.
The Edgefield Meeting.
We look forward with great interest
to the proceedings of the mass meet
ing to be held at Edgefield Court House
on Monday next. The course indicated
then and there will indicate to us the
spirit of South Carolina.
In Gen. M. C. Butler and Gen. Gary,
and in Col. H. D. Capers, who will shape
the proceedings, we have confidence,
and are assured that ihe'jbest interests
of old Carolina, the land of great men
in the past, will be fully subserved.
We will endeavor to give a full report
of the proceedings.

A contemporary asks: “How far

been determined long ago. <
Rifle Shooting To-Morrow.
Noariy all the teams were out at the
Platz practicing, yesterday, and they
all shot admirably well. Although
using refilled cartridges, stili they made
good scores. There will be a splendid
contest if the day is fine, there being
at lsaut twelve hundred shots to be
fired. The Club has offered another
magnificent prize, open to all vsitors—
that elaborate fruit stand, on exhibi
tion with the other prizes This will
yield an opportunity to all desirous of
trying their markmanship. It will be
decided at the one hundred yard range,
ring target, three shots for each entry.
It will be the last prize shot for. En
tries can be made at any time duiiog
the day. The gentlemen comprising
the teams will pleese bear in mind
that “ hair triggers,” or covered sights,
are not allowed, and no rifle can be
used except a three-pound trigger-pu)l,
with open sights. This regulation will
be strictly enforced. The same regu
lation will govern the team and indi
vidual contests. The members of the P
R. C. will see that their rifles are up to the
regulation which governs their shoot
ing, viz: Six pound trigger-puH and
plai i open sight.
There was an individual match ar
ranged last evening, to take place im
mediately after the other matches are
decided. It is not confined to any team
or club; it is left open to all; distance
two hundred yards; average score from
centre of bull’s eye. There are seven
entries already made, and it is sur
mised that there will be at least twenty
of Ihe best shots on the ground to
participate in this contest.
Every arrangement is perfect in re
gard to shooting, so that there will be
no delay in firing, and we hope the
matsnes may be decided early enough
to get through with them all. The
teams are requested to meet promptly
at 8 o’clock a. m
The Savannah Rising.
The rapid rise of the Savannah river
has caused some anxiety, and consid
erable damage. At 5 p. m., on Tues
day, the river at the city bridge only
marked six feet five inches, but at noon
yesterday the water rose to twenty
seven feet, and four hours later the
indicator marked twenty-seven feet ten
inch 3S, and at 9 p. m. last night, twenty -
eigh , feet, and still slowly rising.
Dt ring Wednesday night, the large
amo int of float-wood pressing against
the pile driver near the city bridge,
caused it to tip over and sink. A large
number of colored men assembled
aroiind the bridge, and gathered a large
quantity of wood which had floated
down. Boatmen report that there was a
heavy rain fall up the river Thursday.
It was reported that severe injury had
been done the new canal dam, but the
only damage was the sweeping away of
about one hundred feet of the frame
work of the coffer dam, which had not
been fastened by cross planks. The
water rose five feet higher than the
new dam, and it was a grand sight to
observe the rush of waters over it, and
it stood like the rock of Gibraltar. The
water rose to within five inches of th*e
top of the old bulkhead. There was
some apprehension that thS sudden
rise would cause damage to the canal,
but it was the easiest thing in the
world to control the depth of water in
the canal by opening the gates from
Rocky Creek down as a precautionary
measure.
The water flowed into Pond street as
far down as Springfield Church. At 10
o’clock last night no serious damage
was reported. This sudden rise of the
river is unusual.

Tlie Ramsey Murder.
In the County Court yesterday, be
fore Col. Claiborne Snead, the prelimi
nary examination was had in the charge
of murder against John Barrett, a hard
faced looking white boy about eighteen
years of age, who killed George Ram
sey. a colored boy, on the evening of
the twenty-fourth instant. After hear
ing the testimony, Judge Snead fully
committed the prisoner for trial at the
next term of the Richmond Superior
Court, for murder.
W. Fred. Eve, Esq., County Solicitor,
conducted the examination on behalf of
the State, and the prisoner wes defen
ded by H. Clay Foster.
The testimony was as follows :
Sarah Ware (col.) sworn— l was, on
the 24:th December, between nine and
ten o’clock, on South Boundary street;
went after my boy, and when I got to
Brown’s store I met Geo. Ramsey; he
said, “I want no fuss; I don’t know
what I have done;” I then saw a crip
ple white boy make a rush but did not
see anything in Ids hand; I would not
know the cripple boy; deceased said
nothing; deceased said “Oh! oh!”
placing his hands to his breast when
he fell; I saw the blood; I saw but one
white boy make the rush; there was a
number of them; this was in Richmond
county, Augusta, Ga : the boys all ran
directly from us; I heard no quarrel;
no disturbance.
Cross—l cannot tell how many boys
there were at the pk.ee; there were
three or four ; when the cripple boy
ran three ran with him ; I live on
South Boundary and Campbell streets;
deceased was cut at Browr ’s corner
(diagram was here shown witness); de
ceased was on Brown’d side ; when de
ceased was cut all the boys broke and
ran out of sight; I did not look long
at them ; the boy that did the cutting
ran with the balance; there were a
great many colored people in the crowd
with the boys ; the first time I saw de
ceased I looked back and saw him in
the crowd of boys ; when the remark
was made I was about thirty feet off,
anfi while looking at them the boy
made the lunge ; the bfoy who made
the lunge stepped behind the others ;
saw no lamp ; I knew the boy was crip
ple by his limping when running ; after
deceased fell I took hold of his shoul
ders, got a cart and carried him home ;
the man that pushed the cart was
colored.
Re-direct —When I heard the remark,
“I am not troubling anybody,” I turned
around and saw the Uiage.
Jesse Jackson (col.) sworn—On the
24th of December I was at home; I
saw the cutting; I was about ten feel
from the deceased; I identify the pris
oner; there was no crossness passed
between them; there were three boys
together; I heard no remarks from any
one; I was about ten feet from the
boys; I saw the knife; the largest of
the boys ran off; another walked off in
the dark; Barrett walked to Brown’s
store; I stood still a few moments, and
then came down the street from Mr.
Brown’s in this direction; cutting was
done on Campbell street; I do not
know the name of the little street run
ning from the corner; there was a lamp
at the corner; it was burning; a gath
ering of women came up and carried
deceased off; I did not see him fall; I
did not go any nearer than ten feet; the
women carried him out Campbell street
towards Yerdery’s Hill; I saw Barrett
in jail on Saturday evening.
Cross—l came down to Protestant
Church, this side of Cauaan bridge,
and remained until about five o’clock
next morning; I was standing when
cutting was done, opposite Brown’s
store, on Campbell street entrance, on
the outside of the pavement; the boys
and deceased, at the time the cutting
was done, were standing near the
lamp-post at the corner; I was by
myself; Prince Ward went with me to
church; Prince was at Mr. Brown’s
store at the time of the cutting, and
joined me afterwards and went to
church with me; when I came up
Prince was in the store; I went in the
store for a minute, and then came off
to the church; Prince Ward and Mr.
Brown were in the store; I called
Prince and walked off; that was all
that transpired in the store; came this
direction on Campbell street; I do
not know whether I left Prince Ward
at his house or at the church;
I went in the store after Barrett
left; this is all I recollect happen
ing at this time; before the boys
came there Prince left me and went in
the store; I stayed on the pavement
until the boys went away; I told Prince
about the cutting between the corner
and his house; Prince knew nothing
about the cutting until I told him;
Prince and myself were standing on the
corner when the three white boys came
up with a little colored boy; the boys
passed us, and myself and Prince went
up to them; the little oiored boy was
screaming, and Prince asked what are
you doing; defendant said you had bet
ter not put your hands on me; I said
boys I would not have any fuss, it is
Christmas, have fun with your poppers;
defendant then turned the boy loose; I
was in ten feet of the boys when the cut
ting took place; I was noarer when they
turned loose the little colored boy; de
fendant’s knife was in his left hand when
he did the cutting; deceased was stand
ing with his left side to the front of
Barrett, the deceased facing the other
boys when the cutting took place; I did
not know Barrett’s name; have seen
him often; never spoke to him; I know
Brown; I went to Brown’s door to call
Prince; while in the store I saw no ne
gro woman come in, and I heard no
woman say that a negro boy had been
cut by some white boys; I did not say
to Mr. Brown or in the store by God
this one-sided thing had to be stopped;
I told Mr. Brown that the boy Rooney,
that lives around Cotter’s corner, cut
the deceased; Mr. Brown said Mr.
Rooney had but one boy and he had
him in the store; I knew Barrett and
thought his name was Rooney; I
thought it was that cripple boy that
lived around the corner named Rooney;
Ido not know that this boy Barrett
ever lived around the corner; did not
know where he lived; I saw the boy
that did the cutting when he went away
limping; the Coroner carried me to the
jail to see Barrett; I work at the Geor
gia Railroad; when I went to the jail
with the Coroner he asked me if that
was the boy; I said yes, sir; he asked
me if I would swear to it; I said yes,
sir; this was after the inquest.
John Martin sworn for State—l ar
rested Barrett by order of Lieut. Pra
ther; I held out no hope of reward and
made no threats to defendant; when I
found defendant he was on the corner
of Campbell and Walker streets; Mr.
Cobb, a policeman, was with me, and in
searching him a knife—l thought it was
a razor—dropped out of his pocket, and
Mr. Dermond, a policeman, picked it up
and handed it to me; Barrett said to
me, “You policemen seem to have some
spite against me;” and I said I arrest
ed him by orders of Lieut. Prather for
cutting a negro, and defendant said he
did it; if I am not mistaken I asked
him why he did it; he told me that the
boy shot a Roman candle in his face,
or in the face of a little boy, and he
went to see about it, when deceased
attempted to draw a pistol on him,
when he cut him; I gave the knife to
Lieut. Prather.
Cross-examined—Barrett began cry
ing and seemed to be scared, and I
asked him how it happened; I to£l de
fendant not to be scared if his state
ment was correct; I do not thsk I
asked Barrett how old he was; I iuade
14
the arrest after twelve o’clock at night.
Dr. H. J. Baker sworn for State—l
was called to see deceased on the night
of the twenty-fourth December; I
learned his name next day was George
Ramsey; he was lying in a semi-con
scious state with a wound in the right
side of his chest; I was called upon by
the Coroner; the wound was on the
right side, about an inch from the
-breast bone, ranging downwards and
backwards, breaking the rib in its
course and injuring the middle lobe of
the right lung; my business is physi
cian and surgeon; from my knowledge
the wound caused the death of de
ceased.
Cross-examined—The wound ranged
downwards and backwards; the wound
entered the front; one of the ribs was
cut in two and entered the lung.
James Brown sworn for defense—l
know Jesse Jackson; I saw him Christ
mas Eve night; Prince Ward and Dick
Jackson were also there; there was a
colored woman came up and said a col
ored boy had been cut; I saw a white
boy come in; his back was towards me
in the store; Jesse Jackson said that
this boy that cut the colored boy was
young Rooney, that lived around Cot
ter’s corner; I said confound you, is it
the boy that stays in my store, and he
said it was either Rooney or one of the
Dublin boys. I said to Jesse, you ought
to know who it is before you call the
boy’s name; the boy Rooney that stays
with me had been gone from the store
about twenty minutes; Jesse also said
this one-sided thing had been going
along enough, and it should be put a
stop to.
Cross by State—l do not recollect
Jesse saying anything about a cripple
boy; he might have said it was a crip
ple boy; there was a great many in my
store on that night; there was no ex
citement until the women gave the
warning; I mean by the boys in the
store, Jesse Ward, Dick Jackson and
Prince Ward; I do know that Jesse
Jackson was in the store befor the wo
men gave the warning; I believe to the
best of mj' knowledge it was the de
fendant who backed in my store; Jesse
Jackson was in the store before the
boy left and when the warning was
given by the woman
Re-direct—l do not pretend to iden
tify the prisoner as the one who came
in the door.
By the Court—l believe it to be the
defendant by his features as he now
appears.

The Education of Children.
Messrs. Editors: There are numbers
of parents in Augusta who are anx
iously alive to their obligations to God
and to society for the education of
their children, and, consequently, feel
most deeply their owu inability to
give the necessary attention to the
matter. The rich even are put to a
strait to find faithful servants, and the
poor recognize the great difficulty of
training children when they cannot
keep them out of the streets, so I pre
sume none will object to a few re
marks ou the subject.
Education commences almost at
birth, and often its effects in a
few weeks. The French, whom I ad
mire as the most practical philanthro
pists in the world, understand this, and
have their "creepe” in every considera
ble town. It is a roomy apartment
with grass plat, shrubbery, flower-beds,
etc., attached, to which children from
a mouth to four or five years old are
b ought early in the morning, left in
charge of proper servants and super
intendents, and given back to the
mother at night. The children are
cared for, taught to behave properly,
to control their little tempers, respect
the feelings and rights of others, keep
their hands off forbidden things, etc.,
etc. After that they are removed to
the “infant schools,” where they learn
to read, to repeat the Lord’s Prayer,
Creed, the Ten Commandments, etc.,
till about eight years old; at eight
years they enter the primary school.
If the public feel any interest in this
matter, I will try to explain moi’e
fully. H.
