Burglary.
During some portion of Friday night the store j
of Lallbbstedt A Deming, situated on the comer
of Broad and .Jackson streets, was broken into, and j
goods stolen to the amount of SSOO, consisting of '
light colored silk robes, striped and plain chene silks
and solid colored silks, fine bareges, and tine linen
drill*. The burglars also carried oft'a brown paint
ed tin box, having the name of “L. C. Deming"
painted on it, which contained about $lO3 in mo
ney, and a number of valuable private papers.
The store was entered from Jackson street, by
prizing m a chisel betweeu the double doors, and
forcing oflf the iron catch which held the bolt of.
the lock.
This robbery was committed in one of the most
public places in the city, and it seems strange how
it was done without detection, when there must
have been some considerable noise made in effect
mg au entrance into the store.
Parodi’s Farewell Concert.
This attraction drew a large and fashionable
bouse on Friday night at Concert Hall. M’Ue. Pa
rodi, Madame Htrakosch, Mr. Strakosch, and
Signor Leonardi, more than confirmed the delight
ful impressions they made on Wednesday. The
ladies were encored and applauded with great fer
vor, and dTRAKOSCH came in for a large share of the
enthusiasm which pervaded the audience.
We were gratified to witness the considerate and
decorous deportment of the entire house during
an awkward incident of the evening. While Pa~
rodi and Mad. Strakosch were singing the conclud
ing piece, “ I’he Star Spangled Banner,’’ the gas
suddenly gave out, leaving the fair vocalists and
the stage almost in utter darkness. No one avail
ed himself of the safe opportunity to create anv
disturbance, but all listened with silent attention
to the close. The song was encored, as it well de
served to be, but in so respectful and decorous a
manner, that the ladies amiably complied, and
sang two more stanzas with thrilling effect, in the
dim light of a candle held from the side scenes
It would seem trivial to notice such good con
duct in an Augusta audience, as that ought to be a
matter of course. But as we have more than once
on similar occasions noticed in our city instances
of rudeness, if not rowdyism, by a few, found in
ull communities, unable to appreciate the proprie
ties due such an occasion, it gives us great pleasure
to compliment the handsome manner in which the
affair passed oiT.

company. We wish success and prosperity to the
Uichmond Hussars As it may be an inducement
to many to join, we state that the members are ex

cavalry.

To the Editor of the Constitutionalist.
Augusta, March 15, 1856.
Lear Sir: Having just returned from Elberton,
where I had attended the Superior Court for that
county the three first days of its sitting, I sup
posed that a line or two from that portion of the
State might be somewhat interesting. Judge
Thomas, of Hancock, presiding for the first time
since bis election, many were anxious to see his
business capacity tested. The Judge soon con
vinced them that he not only understood how to
dispatch business, but his profound legal know
ledge, united with his usual urbanity of manners,
gave the utmost satisfaction. I heard Messrs.
Toombs, T. W. Thomas and T- R. Cobb one even
ing in Chambers plead with great ability on a will
case, where the technicalities of the law were fully
discussed, and the legal knowledge of the parties
went back for two hundred years. I had supposed
that Mr. Toombs, front his long devotion to public
life, had become rusty in the law. In this 1 was
agreeably disappointed. He is a man of remark
able memory, and as powerful in the law as he is
,n polities.
An unfortunate affair occurred while I was on
he Court ground—that of a drunken man stabbing
i lad of some sixteen years of age, without provo
cation. The man was committed to jail; the lad
was improving when 1 left. The stab was with
rhe small blade of a pen-knife. It entered the
tower region of the stomach. It will be some da vs
vet before be can be considered out of danger, lie
is the son of the widow who keeps the Hotel.
Thursday morning I left, it being a rainv, cold
lay. i suffered from cold while on the road, and
•n arriving at Lexington depot the next morning,
L discovered a thin sheet of ice. The trees were
not in bloom, and, from the backwardness of the
season, I hope we will have a tine fruit vear. The
wheat crop is very little injured. I noticed the
hills and dales beginning to look green, as I pass
ed along the road. The farmers iu this as well as
other sections of the State, are much troubled to
procure seed sweet potatoes, they having nearly all
rotted. On reaching Union Point 1 learned that
the Court at Lnwreneeville, Gwinnett county, that
was to have been held this week, was postponed to
the first Monday in June next, inconsequence of
the prevalence of the small pox in the adjoining
counties.
In going and returning from Augusta to am
point on the Athens railroad, you have to pass
through a kind of purgatory, on account of a delay
of four hours each way. This, however, is, in a
great measure, softened down, by the anticipation
of a good dinner, and which is fully realized by all
who partake of the table spread out by the enter
prising proprietors, and particularly "Mr. Edwin
Platt, who gives the house his personal attention.
IB- is a thorough go ahead landlord. I would ad
vise all who stop here to give the Union Point din
ner house a trial, as 1 think they will get their
money's worth, even those of the most epicurean
appetites. Besides, the manners of Mr. Platt are
polite and pleasing. Success attend them. C.
An Up Ilill Bnsiiic ss.
The American press will have a heavy loud to
carry, in supporting Donelson for the Vice Presi
dency. In fact, the Major, while editor of the
Washington I,'n.ion, has furnished the opposition
with any amount of “grape and canister” against
Mr. Fillmore. The columns of that paper teemed
with abuse of the ex-Prosident, charging upon him
the sin of Abolitionism, and holding the opinions
that the institution of slavery was a curse, and
should not he extended into new territories. How
all this can he explained without stultification of
the Vice Presidential nominee, is not so easy to
perceive. We do not mean to assist in any such
bootless labor.
But grievous as is that transgression, there is vet
another still more offensive. Major Donelson,
while editor as aforesaid, pandered to thp until
American sentiment of the country, and favored
foreign immigration. Here is an extract from one
of his editorials, onlv a few years since.
“1 m migration.— I The Republic of Wednesday,
contains a long article on immigration to the Uni
ted States. It portrays in vivid colors the rapid
and unparalleled increase in the number of those
who are seeking our shores. The Irish emigration
is so great that tbe court journal classes it among
the phenomena of history. We i Andrew Jackson
Donelson j are glad to see this emigration from
the Old World. It brings to us the physical force
we need to fell the forest and to build our improve
ments. We have yet, and will have for many long
years, scope and range enough for their industv
and enterprise. But it was not our intention to
discuss this branch of the subject at the present
time. Tiie native party is now prostrate, and it
will be time enough to commence the discussion
when another attempt is made by the federalists
to revive the principles of the alien laws.”
V ital say you, Americans of Georgia, to such
an exhibition of the political opinions of the can
didate foisted upon you, by the late Philadelphia
Convention, for the Vice Presidency? Can you
consistently support a man who has" thus reviled
your principles? We trust not. We hope that
the American party of Georgia will act for them
selves, in this matter. If Mr. Fillmore be the
choice of a majority, so be it. We will yield our
preference so tar as he is concerned, but “in the
name of all the gods, at once,” do not place that
“greasy Tennesseean” asßrownlow calls him, on
the same ticket. Give us Crittenden; Clemons,
Stockton. Hilliard, Walker, Pike, Dawson, or any
other good man, tor Vice President, and we may
I have some heart for co-operating in the canvass
approaching, with our friends and for our princi
ples, but not otherwise. —Georgia < tizen
The New Bridge.
This handsome structure, spanning the Ashley
river, at the foot of Spring street, which has been
in course of erection for the last eighteen months,
was completed vesterdtiv, and will be open to-day
as a public highway. In August, 1845, the Com
pany advertised for contracts, and the proposals of
Mr. J. D Petsch, as architect and builder, were
accepted. The work was commenced on the 6th of
September, but was immediately interrupted by the
gale which commenced on the following day, after
which the work was again commenced, and was
again interrupted by the prevalence of the yellow
fever; and since that time the work has been often
impeded by the want of timbers.
The Bridge is two thousand three hundred and
fifty-five feet in length, and thirtv-five feet in
breadth, and is divided into four tracks ; two for
foot passengers, and two for horses and carriages.
It is supported by pile 6, which are driven into the
bed of the river an average distance of twenty
right feet, and is further sustained by strong iron
rods. The emire cost will reach SIIO,OOO, and the
number of workmen constantly employed was an
average of sixty.
Ihe )vork, as it stands, is a monument to the
skill, industry and perseverance of the architect
and builder ; and, in! nil probilitv, will stand the
storms of ages. The highest tide in the gale of
1854 did not reach the height of the flooring of
this bridge by four feet, and a severer one is scarce
ly within the range of ordinary events. The first
! bridge that was built on the present site, was de
stroyed by a storm in 1813 : the piles of which
were driven only six feet, while those of the pre
sent one are driven twenty-eight feet. We eon
| template, in a future issue, to give a fuller account
of this noble structure.

I3T” Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.—
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855. —Having noticed the
certificate of chemical analysis given by the cele

City, in favor of Rhodes' fever and Ague Cure, that
it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mercury or
Strychnine, and having received numerous appli

13?” A Perfumed Breath*—What Ltidy 1
or Gentleman would remain under the curse of a
disagreeable breath when, by using the “ BALM
Ot A THOUSAND FLOWERS” as a dentrifice,
would not only render it sweet, but leave the teeth
white as alabaster? Many persons do not know
their breath is bad, and the subject is so delicate
their triends will never mention it. Pour a single
drop ot the “ Balm ” ou your tooth-brush, and
wash the teeth night and morning. A fifty cent,
bottle will last a vear.
A Beautiftl Complexion may easily be acquired
by using the “Balm of a Thousand Flowers.'' It
will remove tan, pimples and freckles from the skin,
leaving it ot a soft and roseate hue. Wet a towel,
pour on two or three drops, and wash the face night
and morning.
Shaving Made East.—Wet your shaving-brush
in either warm or cold water, pour on two or three
drops of the “ Balm of a Thousand Flowers ,” rub
the beard well, and it will make a beautiful soft
lather, much facilitating the operation of shaving.

23’." Ladies ami Gentlemen:—VVe would
call your attention to the advertisement of Prof.
0. J. WOOD’S HAIR RESTORATIVE, which ap
pears in the columns of our present number.
From our long acquaintance with the proprietor,
and with numerous individuals who have used his
preparation with perfect success for the last two
years, we feel no hesitation in recommending the
article as superior to any of the preparations now
in use tor the same purpose, viz: for restoring gray
hair to itu original color, a sure and perfect cure
lor baldness, and a never-failing preventive for tin
falling of the hair.
It is decidedly the best and most popular in use
for beautifying, preserving, restoring and strength
ening the hair, relieving diseases of the skin, and
removing seurit, dandruff and all eruptions and fe
verish heat from the scalp.
We speak in relation to the above from what we
know, having been personally acquainted with nu
merous persons who have used the Restorative for
j the above purposes with iho most gratifying re
suits.
It is not often we notice a patent medicine. In
deed, we think we have never puffed one before ;
but Prot. \\ ood’s Hair Restorative is something so
superior to most of the preparations of the day.
that we cannot forbear asking the attention of oui
readers to it. - Catholic Vindicator.
