“OUR TERMS.
Wc invite the attention of our subscribers to our
terms. The paper, after the first of January, will
only be sent to those who pay in advance. This
course we have found to be absolutely necessary to
enable us to save the expenses of extra clerk hire;
the expenses of traveling or collecting agents; the
losses sustained sending papers where payments
have not been paid in advance—and, in a few
I words, much trouble, annoyance, and great loss of
money.
Our intelligent subscribers, we feel satisfied, will
approve our course.
We return our thanks to those who have already
■promptly responded, and also for their favorable
remarks about our paper, as well as approval of
»>ur terms of publication.
To Warehousemen.
The warehousemen in Augusta and Hamburg
are requested to have their stocks of cotton count
ed to-day.
New Year’s Day.
In accordance with custom, we appropriate this
as one of the holvduys, and therefore, will issue
no paper from this office to-morrow. Our tri
weekly aud cvemug edition subscribers will be
furnished with this morning’s issue.
Concert Hall.
There will be a performance at Concert llall to
day, commencing at two o’clock 1\ M., by the
Mar.hu children, who will appear in the Naiad
Quten.
Tlie Marsh Juveniles—Last Night.
For the past week Concert Hall has been nightly
tilled with intelligent and appreciative audiences
to witness the performances of the talented chil
dren under the direction of Mr. (}. W. Marsh. The
galaxy of beauty which beamed from the dress cir
cle, and thecrowd of rougher diamonds which fill
ed the parquette, might well recall to mind the
days of yore, when the “legitimate drama” was in
its zenith, and when stars of great brilliancy gave
lustre to our stage. And though these stars have
vanished from the dramatical firmament, or have
b ecorne dim and obscure, our “Old Drury” was still
lighted up, through the past week with an attraction
bright enough to till the house in spile of incle
ment weather.
The Marsh Juveniles need no further encomium
than to be seen once. Their performances are ele
gant ; and we have no hesitation in recommending
them to all classes of our citizens. The children
are of different ages, from live to fourteen or fif
teen years, and exhibit considerable proficiency in
their several parts. It must, indeed, have been a
work of uo little trouble and ditiiculty to ascertain
the qualifications of each child, and then to train
it according to its capacity for certain particular
parts; but there is evidently a master workman
that guides and directs them in all their move
ments.
That some of these little comedians have faults,
is to be expected; but compared with their merits,
it is not worth while to allude to them, for they
are such as will continually diminish with time
and care. That they have given general satisfac
tion here, is apparent in the targe audiences that
nave attended, and the enthusiastic applause
which has greeted their performances nightly.
That they have made a favorable impression, is
equallv true; and should they return to this city,
they will doubtless find an increased patronage
extended to them.
At two o’clock to-day there will be a perform
ance for the benefit of those who cannot attend at
night, consisting of the Naiad Queen ; and the
evening’s entertainment, which will be the last
representation by the Juveniles, will consist of the
Forty Thieves, and Wandering Miru'rtl.
Our readers should bear in mind that these are (
the two last opportunities which they will have, ,
the present season, of witnessing these talented
children, and should govern themselves accord
ingly-
Terrible Hail road Accidents.
The particulars of the terrible accidents on the
Muscogee railroad, as far as we have been able to
gather them, will be found in our telegraphic col
umn.
A portion of this news will be found on our first
page. It is tlii tiling, and will doubtless be in
teresting to our readers.
Another Accident.
We have another item to add to our chapter of ac
cidents. As the night train on the Georgia railroad
was within eight miles of this city last night, the
wuck of the hindmost car gave way, causing the
car to break down and tilt partially on one side.
There were several ladies in it at the time, but
fortunately there was no injury done, save a few
scratches from the broken glass in the windows.
Young Men’s Christian Association.
While in some sections of the country the early
interest manifested in establishing Young Men’s
Christian Associations has somewhat abated, yet
in our city the pioneers and active members are,
if possible, more devoted and energetic than they
were at the outset, and the members generally
evince an interest in tlieir organization, highly
complimentary to their intelligence and moral
u orth.
The election of officers for the ensuing year
takes place on Monday evening next, at the rooms
if the Association ; and on the same evening the
annual reports of the present officers will be read.
It is expected tnat every member, active, associate,
ifo and honorary, will he present on that occa
sion, unless prevented by illness, or other unavoid
able cause.
At all meetings of the Association the members
would be pleased to witness the attendance of the
tublic. The library, the social prayer meetings,
uid business meetings of the society, are always
rnpen. The Association is composed of Christians;
ana their objects swell laudable works as should
be expected to engage the attention us Christians.
Every devoted member of this Association is pro
tected from the approaches of wickedness anil 1
dissipation by walls of fire, which can only be d> - i
stroyed and extinguished by the immorality and
turpitude of the individual himself.
The moral sentiment of our community approv
ingly sustains the Yoitug Men’s Christian Asso
ciation ; and all associations based on good mor
als, charitable deeds, brotherly kindness, and
sound Christian philosophy.

While we sympathise with the people of our af

we have cause to be thankful for the favors which
Providence has mercifully extended to this com
munity, and in a great measure, to our whole State,-
the past year. To our readers, one and all'we wish
a continuance of these favors—an increase of
wordly goods, and an abundance of spiritual bless
ings. To them all we hope the new year may
prove one of unalloyed happiness and prosperity.

Americaa Fillibusterism lor Irelaud.
About fifteen men were arrested in Ireland on
the morning of December 9th, charged with be
longing to a society which had for its object the
invasion of the Emerald Isle by American fillibus
ters. This idea may have arisen from the fact
that the Irish-American volunteer regiment of
New York city had some notion of paying a visit
to the old country; but they have concluded to
give it up, as we learn from our exchanges, be
cause the government of Great Britain is opposed
to the landing of so large a body of armed men
in that country.
The ribbon system, a secret political organiza
tion, is said to prevail, and to have its ramifica

The London Tones says that no attempts ctn be
made, with any prospect of success, to lift the old
•able until the return of rulni weather, at the end
of April or May, and even under the best circum
stances, the expectations with regard to theopera
tion are not favorable. Meanwhile it has been
definitely ascertained that the existing damage
was not at the shore end. The laying of the new
end has been completed to a distance of twelve
miles out from Valentia, and the portion taken up
was found to be in a perfect condition for all elec
trical purposes. Experiments lately undertaken
by a person previously unconnected with the en
terprise, strongly support the original inference,
that the main fault is about two hundred and sev
enty miles from the Irish coast, at a depth proba
bly of nine hundred fathoms. There is also a fault
on the other side, which is thought to be about
three hundred miles from Newfoundland. Cur
rents, however, still continue to be received, al
though of a kind so feeble and uncertain as to he
useless for any practical purpose.

To Ed. of Evangelist: In your number of the
loth instant, you say—“A correspondent asks us
our opinion of the preparations advertised by Mrs.
S. A. Allen, in our paper;” but, in the use of
which, except the “ Zylobalsanium,” you profess
to have had no experience. As I have tried a fair
experiment with those articles, it may be of some
use to others for me to communicate the result.
My age is sixty. One year ago, my hair was
very grey, and has been gradually falling, until,
on the crown, it has become quite thin. About
the Ist of March, of thepresent year, I commenced
using Mrs. S. A. Allen’s “Restorer,” No. 1, ac
cording to the directions, and have continued to
apply aslight dressing of the same once in three or
four weeks, on retiring to bed. My hair is now al
most restored to its original color, and the hue ap
pears to be permanent lam satisfied that the pre
paration is nothing like a dye, but operates upon the
secretions. My hair ceases to fall, which is cer
icinly an advantage to one who was in danger of
becoming bald.
The “Zylnbalsamum” I have found the best and
most agreeable hair dressing of anything which I
have ever used for that purpose.
REV. M. THACHER,
Pitcher, Chenango Co., N. Y.
Rev. \V. B. Thorxklok, Prescot, Lancashire, Eng
and.—“Your Hair Restorer is a perfect marvel.
After having used it for six weeks, my extremely
grey hair was restored to its natural color—not
the wig-like appearance produced by dyes—but to
its own natural color: which satisfies my mind
that it is not a dye. I can strongly recommend it,
und shall feel happy in answering the queries of
any you may refer to me.”
[The above Clergyman is well known throughout
Great Britain, and to many in the United States.}
President J. H. Eaton, L.L.D., (Union Univer
sity,) Murfreesboro', Tenn. — Madam —“l would
state that some time last spring, I fouud my hair
falling off, I concluded to purchase a bottle of
your “ Hair Restorer,” <fcc., and give it a trial. 1
commenced using it, but very irregularly, but not
withstanding this irregularity, I found that its
influence was distinctly visible, the falling off
of iiair ceased, and my locks which before were
quite grey, were changed to black. Fre ni what
1 have seen of its effects in my own case, I have
reason to believe that it is capable of accomplish
ing what it jiroposes to do, viz: to prevent the
hair from falling off, and to restore grey locks
TO their original color.”
Rev. Mrs. E. C. Andrus, [many years mission
ary to Havti] Mmiinsburg. A*. Y. In consequence
of her long residence iii aforenamed island, her
hair and scalp was in a very unhealthy condition.
After trying various articles without success, and
eventually using Mrs. S. A. Allen’s, she writes to
the “American Baptist”—“l have derived much
benefit from the use of Mrs. S. A. Allen’s World’s
Hair Restorer and Zylobalsamum; I have tried
various other remedies for my hair, but never
anything that so materially and permanently bone
fitted me as lias those of Mrs. S. A. Allen.”
Rev. C. A. Buck bee, (Treas. Am. Bible Union—
Ed. Bible Union Quarterly) N. Y. City. —“ 1 very
cheerfully add my testimony to that of numerous
other friends. 1 have found the Zylobalsamum
superior to anything I ever used for the hair, and
would fully commend it to all.”
Rev. 11. V. Dkgk.v, (Ed. “Guide to Holiness,”)
Boston, Mass —“ Mrs. S. A. Allen’s World’s Hair
Restorer, found among our other advertisements,
we insert from actual experiment. That it pro
motes the growth of the hair where baldness had
commenced we now have the evidence of our own
eyes. We can testify to its effects.”
Rev. R. 11. Pollock, (Ed. “ Presbyterian Wit
ness,”) Cincinnati, O. —“it is our settled policy to
advertise nothing till we know it is what it purports
to be. Having opportunity, and becoming satisfied
of the merits of Mrs. S. A. Allen’s World’s Hair Re
storer and Zylobalsamum, would be pleased,” Ac.
Rev. E. R. Fairchild, I). 1)., (Cor. Sec. Anter.
and Eor’n Christian Union,) N. Y. City. —Mrs.
S. A. Allen’s World’s Hair Restorer and Zylobalsa
mum have been used in my family with beneficial
effects; and I take pleasure in commending them
to such as have occasion to use such preparations.”
Rev. A. Webster, (Ed. Christian Era,) Boston,
Mass. —“ Having used numerous specifics to little
purpose, I discarded all, believing them to be of no
value. So 1 regarded your World’s Hair Restorer
and Zylobalsamum, yet personal friends prevailed
on me to use it. 1 itave done so for several mouths
past with good effect and entire satisfaction, lam
now neither bald nor gray ; my hair was dry and
brittle, but has regained the softness of my earlier
years,”
Rev. Daniel T. Wood, Middletown, Orange Co.,
A’. Y. —“M v hair has greatly thickened upon my
head, and put on a very lively, healthy appearance.
The same is true of my daughter; her hair had be
come thin, and came out constantly, until we thought
the head would be almost bare ; her hair has handsome
ly thickened up, and has a healthy appearance. We
are thankful to you, and feel that we have full
value of our money.”
Rev. ,T. A. 11. Cornell, (Cor. Sec. Bd. Ed’n R
1). Church,) 337 Broadway, A’. Y.,and At w Balti
more, Greene Co., A’. Y. —“ Some time since I pro
cured a bottle of your World's Hair Restorer, Ac.,
for the use of a relative, and 1 am happy to say
that it prevented the falling of the hair, and re
stored it from being grey to its original glossy

Rev. S. B. Morlby, Williamstown, Mass.—" 1
have used Mrs. S. A. Allen’s World’s Hair Restor
er and Zylobalsamum. The effect of the Hair
Restorer has been to change the “Crown of Glory”
which belongs to old men to the original hue of
youth. This was done by a single bottle used ac
cording to directions. Others of my acquaintance
have used it with same effect. The Zylobalsamum
I regard as an invaluable dressing for the hair.”
We might quote from others of the numerous
letters we have, and are constantly receiving; but
we deem the above sufficient to convince the most
skeptical that we have at least the best pre
parations in the world for the Hair of young or
old. We manufacture no other preparations. Oc
cupying the large building, corner of Broome and
Elizabeth Streets, exclusively for office, salesroom
and manufactory, ;e have no time or inclination
to engage in other manufactures.
These are the only preparations exported in any
quantity to Europe.
We also would call attention to the fact that we
have always avoided all charlatanism. Our prepa
rations are the highest priced, but the cheapest,
because they last longer and do more good ; the
expense, in the end, less than others. We aspire
to have the best, not the lowest priced. One bottle
of Restorer wilt last nearly a year, if 1 50 per bot
tle. Balsam, 37}£ cents per bottle.
Address all letters for information, Ac., to “ Mrs.
S. A. Allen’s World’s Hair Restorer Depot, No.
355 Broome Street, New York.” The Genuine
has “ Airs. S. -4. Allen,” signed in Bed Ink to out
side wrappers, and in Black Ink to directions past
ed on bottles. Restorer bottles are of dark purple
glass, with the words, “ Mrs. .S'. Allen's World’s
Hair liestorer, 355 Broome Street, New York,’
blown on them. The Balsam bottles are of green
glass, with “ Mrs. N. A, Wien's World’s Hair Bal
sam, 355 Broome Street, New York,” blown on
them. Circulars around bottles copyrighted
None other is genuine. Signing the name by
others is forger}-, and will be prosecuted by us as
a criminal offense.
Some dealers try to sell other preparations instead
of these, on which they make more profit: insist on
these.
