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.

COX, Ag’t 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 v c * iain them confederated Frc*r!< to & et her, it must needs fly to ' . pX>IHMUNtCATi».] 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.
