would call attention of our
merchants and all others who have busi
ness to transact in Savannah, to the adver
tisement of Messrs. Kein & Cos. They
are ready to attend promptly to all busi
ness in their line.
Mayor's Court*— Mary, a negro girl, for
disorderly conduct and using obscene lan
guage in public, was sent to the guard
house on bread and water for ten days.
Glascon, for stealing peaches,. was or
dered to work on the street ten days with
ball and chain, and spend a hall hour each
day in the stocks
Lizzie, Jane and Sally, three nymphs du
pare, were before the Mayor on the charge
of public indency. They were sentenced
to five days confinement on bread and
water.
Greens.- Wc would suggest that the
ladies who can, will prepare a large quan
tity of this article, and send to the store of
J. H. Anderson, Esq., for the benefit of
the returning Confederate prisoners. Yes
tarday there were about fifty of these
brave boys supplied with eatables at the
store above mentioned, but the “ greens ”
didn’t hold out.. And while yon are pre
paring the “greens,” you might as well
prepare some other things, too, ’for all will
be needed that can be procured. Don’t
forget it. - ,
Swearing. —We would recommend to
the attention of all who indulge in this un
profitable practice, the following:
An oath is but the wrath of a perturbed
spirit.
It is mean. A man of high moral
standing would rather treat an offence
with contempt than show his indignation
by an oath.
It is vulgar. Altogether too low for a
decent man.
It is cQKHjprdly : implying a fear of not
being believed or obeyed.
It is ungentlemanly: A gentleman, ac
cording to Webster, is a genteel man—,well
bred, refined.
It is indecent —oftensive to delicacy, and
extremely unfit for human ears.
It is foolish. “ Want of decency is
want of sense.” *
It is abusive to the mind which conceives
the oath, to the tongue which ittters it,
and to the person at whom it is aimed.
It is venomous , showing a man’s heart to
be as a nest of vipers; and every time he
swears, one of them starts out of his head.
It is contemptible —forfeiting the respect
of all the wise and good.
It is wicked —violating the Divine law,
and provoking the displeasure of Him
who will not hold him guiltless who takes
His name in vain.
Bea gentleman. Swear not at all.

Folly of Atheism. —Lord Bacon says,
“ I had rather believe all the fables in the
Legend, the Talmud, and the Koran, than
that the universal frame is without any
mind. God never wrought miracles to
convince atheists, because his ordinary
works are sufficient to convince them. It
is true, that a little philosophy inclineth
men’s minds to atheism, but depth in phi
losophy bringeth them back to religion;
for while the mind of man looketh upon
second causes scattered, it may sometimes
° n them, and go nc further; but when

Macon, July 7th, 1805.
, Mem-8. Editors: For the past two or
three years, extortion in every possible way
and by every one who could extort on his
neighbor, has been practiced and pushed
to the fullest extent, both in Hie city and
country, until by this sinful and pernicious
practice numberless evils have fallen upon
us. . Soldier’s families, in many instances,
have been reduced to want and suffering;
the armies became demoralized, and confi
dence destroyed in every way between bus
iness men and in the currency of the coun
try. But now that the war is at an end, and
the people reduced to poverty, and in many
instances thrown out of business, is it not
high time that this mania for extorting
should be frowned down, or put down in
some way.
I must complain particularly of those
landlords who are exacting such exorbi
tant rents at a time that money is so scarce.
Houses that rented for twelve dollars and
fifty cents before the war (when money was
plentiful) cannot now be had for than
twenty-five dollars per month, and in fact,
one hundred per cent, is invariably de
manded on prices before the war, and this
at a time that the people cannot make the
money to pay; but must of necessity try to
keep their families Irom being thrown out
of doors.
Would it not be sufficient remuneration
to property holders to pay them at rates
before the war, or else pay in the present
currency at the rates that Confederate
money was selling at on the first of October
last ? I trust some steps may be taken by
which this evil may be remedied, or else
much distress will result. Justice.
painful and Strange.
A friend visiting our city relates to us
the following incident;
“ Coming,” he says, “to Atlanta on Mon
day last, I saw an old freed-woman lying
on the side of the road, dead , and two
younger ones standing by the remains. I
aßked what had been the matter with her?
The reply from one of the girls was: “ She
perish to defi sir , hut she free do .”
Alas, for such freedom ! The incident
affords room for grave reflection, and shows
how necessary that the sad delusion under
which the pegro labors in regard to free
dom should be dissipated, the sooner the
better, lie must be made to understand
that labor must follow his changed condi
tion, else perish he must. He must learn
that the freedom bestowed upon him, is
not to roam over the country in idleness
till, like the old woman referred to, be per
ishes by the wayside, but it is freedom to
labor and to reap such fruits thereof, as,
in equity, he may be entitled to; to sup
port and maintain with food and clothing
his wife and children, or, they doing their
part, his mother and his sisters. He is
not free to perish in idleness. This is con
trary to the divine fiat and so he must be
taught!— Atlanta Intelligencer.
Augusta Items.
We take the following items from the
Augusta Transcript:
Disorderly. —An altercation took place
on Tuesday between a few of the 159th
New York and some eight or ten colored
soldiers. One of the white soldiers was
struck w T ith the fist and cut with a bayonet.
The colored assaultants were arrested and
sent to Hamburg.
The Augusta, a steamer from New
York, now lies in the vicinity of our city,
about four miles down the river. Such an
arrival marks anew epoch. Steamer after
steamer also being launched from our
wharves, announce that trade with the
outer world has fairly begun.
Communication with Charleston. —The
Express wagon train runs from Johnson’s
Turnout, for Orangeburg, every Monday
and Thursday, on the arrival of the train
from Augusta. They take returning pas
sengers on Wednesdays and Saturdays, at
IP. M. Baggage is also carried.
Burglar?. —Last night the store of East
erling & Miller, on Broad street, was en
tered, and a quantity of bacon, sugar and
other groceries, were carried oft’, without
being paid for. The front door was prized
open.
The negro troops just sent to Texas
have become very mutinous; they have
boarded vessels and committed various
outrages; they are very indignant at hav
ing been sent to Texas.
>♦—
Beaten Oil—The biographer of Mr.
Elliot, the missionary, says of him, —“He
liked no preaching bat what had well
studied ; and he would very much commend
a sermon which he could peroeive had re
quired some good thinking and reading in
the author of it. I have heard him thus
express himself: Brother, there was oil
required for the service of the sanctuary ;
but it was to be beaten oil; I praise God
that I saw your oil so well beaten to-day :
the Lord help us always, by good study, to
beat our oil, that there may be no knots in
our sermons left undissolved, and that there
may be a clear light thereby given to the
house of God l” He likewise looked for
something in a sermon beside and beyond
the mere study of manj he was for having
the Spirit of God breathing in it, and with
it; and he was for speaking those things
from those impressions, and with those af
fections, which might oompel the hearer to
say, The Spirit of God is here! I have
heard him complain, “It is a sad. thing,
when a sermon shall have this one thing,
the Spirit of God, wanting in it!”
The Tennessee road is being repaired,
and by rail and hack a continuous line of
travel from "Richmond westward will soon
be established.
