■ Qiiinn, news and book dealer, for several of
the latest publications :
"The Debatable Land Between This
World aud The Next,” by Robert Dale
Owen, anthor of “ Footfalls on the Boun
dary of Another World,” Is one of those
mystic works which endeavors to carry
man into the abode of spirits, or rather to
inculcate the doctrine that disembodied
souls, can be called back to earth at the
Wilding of mortals, and made to perform
the most fantastic antics, such as elevating
and whirling heavy tables In the air, writ
ing almost illegible scrawls without the aid
of pen or pencil, and other things equally
strange. If we throw aside the light of
reason and receive as truth the teachings
and pretended revelations of the so-called
mediums mentioned in works like this, we
will indeed find ourselves face to face with
a “ Debatable Land.” The book, however,
is well written and worthy of perusal. It
Is published by G. W. Carlton & Cos., In
their best style.
The same firm have just published Rich
ard b’. Kimball’s Address on Collegiate
Education, delivered last Summer before
the Alumni of Dartmouth College.. A con
siderable portion of it is occupied in de
fending a Classical Course, which, as we
had a right to expect from the author, is
done n an able and scholarly manner.
The attractive point in the address—the
very pith we may say—is in the bold and
trenchant demand for anew element In our
college instruction, namely, what Mr.
Kimball terms the education of the Kgo—
the me— which he declares is entirely ne
giectert. “A college studeDl," (we quote)
“Is for four years Individualized by his
class standing. Beyond It, he is as little
known a* the prisoner who exists as No.
"A” A singular hut stremg comparison.
The whole address Is of marked power and
originality. We commend It to all think
ing minds.
Joshua Marvel is a novel by B. L. Far
lion, author of Grip.” It appears to be a
moat interesting work of Action. The de
'Tiption of Joshua’s Arst entrance into a
printing office is exceedingly amusing and
entertaining.
Immigrants. —A day or two ago 117
Swedisli immigrants passed through this
city en route to various points on the Geor
gia Railroad. They all seemed to be hardy
wit intelligent, and it is with much gratl
fratlon that we record the fact of their
Irving, determined to reside in the Empire
Mate. Their coining hither Is due mainly
the efforts of Mr. Foss, one of their coun
trymen, who lias lived in tills State for
maDv wars, and therefore knows all about
its resources and advantages. Many of the
Emigrants will procure homes of their
which they will improve and beautify,
'tbers will become Held laborers, cooks,
*nd house servants. In whatever capacity
'bey may serve, however, their coming cer
ulc!y benefits Georgia, not only by adding
l!lit number of industrious and thrifty
Plants to her population, but also by en
abling many others In the Old Country to
become better acquainted with this State
'brough the medium of letters from their
r ‘euils now become denizens upon her
sill We welcome their advent, there
ore, with much pleasure, and trust
*' iat the day is not far distant when
hundred of others will follow their exam-
P'C lu assisting the cause of lmmlgra
hon our people are but adding to their
cwn strength and wealth, and it is to lie
10 ped that they will extend a helping hand
and give every encouragement in their
P°wer to all worthy foreigners, of what
ever nation, who may desire to establish
ibemselves In Georgia. The old system of
mmense plantations must become, under
fbe force of circumstances, obsolete, and
w e, therefore, desire as many people to
fo me into the State as possible, in order to
cultivate the waste lands that under care
ul culture and manipulated by industrious
binds and willing hearts, will return ample
Melds for all the time, money and trouble
upended.
Correction.—The notice in our special
column, yesterday, of the meeting of stock
holders should have been headed National
b vchange Bank of Augusta. Ga., Instead of
National Bank of Augusta. The notice
(‘Pptars corrected this morning.
Girardeyh Opera House -Last evening’s
performance being for the benefit of Mrs
(■Watkins a fine bill was put before the
audience.
The entertainment commenced with " A
Warrior s W ife,’ anew play written by
Harry Watkins and founded on an incident
of the late war.
Mrs. Watkins, in the character of Mrs.
Colonel Hood, the warrior’s wife, impressed
upon all who were so fortunate as to wit
ness the performance, the conviction that
it is not in Irish plays alone that she acts
well, but that she is one of those finished
actresses who can sustain whatever part
she assumes.
Septimus Blackstone, by Harry Watkins,
whs rendered with that vim and earnest
ness which are eminent characteristics of
this noted comedian.
Mr. and Mrs. Watkins were well sus
tained by Mrs. Jami«on, as Mrs. Hood, Miss
Wallack, as Lucy, Miss Pearl Clifton, as
Florence Hood, Mr. Cooper, as Clarence
Sedgewick, Mr. Paul, as Briefwit, Mr.
Curtis, as Primo.and Mr. Lewis, asGrabera.
“ Divorced ” was the next piece put upou
the stage. Harry Watkins, as Augustus
Hotwaughter, convulsed the audience with
laughter. Mrs. Watkins, as Angelina Hot
waughter was admirable, and was well
sustained by Miss Pearl Cliftou as Kitty
Sharp.
The performance concluded with the
musical extravaganza entitled “ Nilsson’s
Come,” which was mirth-provoking enough
to make the most miserable man in the
world laugh.
To-night another fine bill will be pre
sented.
The Concert.— Madame McCulloch-
Brignoli’s Concert last evening was a per
fect success. The hall was crowded by an
appreciative audience, who greeted the ap
pearance of the charming Southern Prima
Donna with an enthusiastic burst of ap
plause. The singing was of the highest
order, and was listened to with rapt atten
tlon. Those sweet ballads, “ The Last Rose
of Summer” and “Coming Through The
Rye,” were exquisitely sung by Madame
Brignoli, and thrilled through many a heart
The voice of the Prima Donna, though sort
and sweet, can rise to the highest pitch of
music.
The piano solos of Mr D’Auna were very
fine.
The aria “La Do nna e Mobile” was
splendidly sung by Signor Maccaferri, who
was repeatedly encored.
Signor Pacini, the tenor of the company,
is a fine singer.
The concluding trio, “ Atilla,” sung by
Mad. Brignoli and Signors Maccaferri
and Pacini, was the crowning piece of the
evening's entertainment.
The Catholic Fair.— Next Monday
night the Fair given by the ladies of St.
Patrick’s Catholic Church of this city for
the benefit of the new Parsonage will com
mence at Masonic Hall. It. is expected
that the Fair will prove a great success.—
It Is worthy or note that the ladk sos this
congregation have never met with a failure
in anything of this kind, and that I heir ef
forts have contributed much towards erect
ing the fine edifices that are such orna
ments to onr city. The new Parsonage
will be a very handsome building when
completed. It has been long needed, as the
house now in use by the priests is a
shackling affair, but the congregation
has contributed so much within the
past ten years for building purposes
that the Pastors of the Chnrrh concluded
to bear with the discomforts of the old
Parsonage for a time. The want of anew
one, however, became at last, imperatively
felt, and the congregation was asked for
means to construct a suitable building. A
large portion of the necessary funds was col
lected in one day, and the amount realized
from the Fair will probably complete the
Parsonage.
Stray Bits.— Yesterday was a great
contrast to Tuesday and Wednesday. The
weather was as mild as it is in April or
May.
Handsome ornaments : The old barrels
forming a line from the north side of Broad
street at its intersection with Elbert, to its
centre
Local items were as scarce as nuggets of
gold yesterday.
This evening will be the last of the en
gagement in this city of Mr. and Mrs.
Watkins.
Harry Seymour, the tragedian, appears
in Richard 111, at Girardev’s Opera House,
next Monday evening.
The toy shops will soon commence to do
a thriving business.
North Carolina apples are being brought
to the city in large quantities.
With the exception of a small amount to
be paid for the Powder Mills tract, the
city of Augusta has no floating debt. This
speaks well for last year’s administration.

1 From tho Missouri Republican.
Indian Affairs.
ffleasage or Lewis Dow ning, Chief of
the Cherokee*.
Lewis Downing, Chief of the Cherokees,
has issued his annual message to the Coun
cil of that nation, and says in the course of
his observations:
Since the adjournment last session of the
National Council, the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas Railroad has entered our country
on the north and passed through it and
none several miles south iuto the Creek
Nation.
The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad has
also entered our nation on the cast, enter
ing it at the corner of the Seneca Nation,
ami It has been completed to its junction
with the Missouri. Kansas and Texas Rail
road. At this point, on the west side, the
Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company
have established a depot, and on both sides
of that road the commissioners, provided
for by an act of the Natioual Council at its
last session have laid off the town of Dow
nlngville. Also four miles east of the con
fluence of Spring river with the Neosho,
or Grand river, on the Atlantic aud Pa
cific Railroad, they have laid out the town
of Rossville. Lots have been gold at a
good price in each of these towns, and there
is a prospect of their becoming places of
importance.
The M. K. and T. is blamed for avoiding
Fort Gibson and for its exorbitant rates of
fare and freight, and both roads are cen
sured for taking wood ties Illegally.
Asa remedy, I would suggest, first, that
we confer with other tribes of Indian Na
tions, through whose country this road
may pass, aud by the actsN of the ational
Councils of the several nations, establish
uniform and reasonable rates of fare and
freight on the railroad through the whole
Indian country for citizens of the country.
Secondly, that the Cherokee Nation char
ter, in some form or other, another railroad
to run from north to south, through the
Nation on the east side of Grand river, and,
if possible, have Tahlequah and Fort Gib
son designated as points through which it
shall ruu, and thus bring dowu the high
rates by competition.
This second proposition probably con
templates an extension of the M. R., Fort
S. and Gnlf Railroad.
The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Com
pany require more than two hundred addi
tional feet granted by treaty, at stations,
at the junction of the two roads, in order
to form a Y, or switch, to connect the At
lantic and Pacific Railroad with the Mis
souri, Kansas and Texas Railroad, as will
be seen by reference to the plat of Down
ingville. This seems to be a necessity, and
I would recommend that it should receive
your sanction under certain restrictions.
Mr. John L. Adair, who was elected by
the National Council at its last session, as
commissioner on the part of the Cherokee
nation to survey and mark the boundary
lines, separating this nation from the States
of Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas, has
been diligeutly engaged in the work assign
ed him in connection with Hon. James M.
Ashley, commissioner on the part of the
United States.
The work of surveying said boundary
line is now completed, and the making anil
setting up of monuments will be completed
in a short time. I learn that portions of
what was claimed as parts of the adjoining
States have fallen into the Cherokee Na
tion, at several important points, and car
rying with them several valuable Improve
ments which by a law of the nation, ap
proved November 8, 1869, arc public prop
erty, and are subject to be sold to the high
est bidder by the sheriff of the district in
which they are situated, after fifteen days
notice. But the circumstances are of such
a nature that I would suggest a suspension
of the law in respect to these improvements
for a definite period, while I would sug
gest means be taken to secure these im
provements to the use and benefit of the
Nation.
A CtTßTocs Bet.—At Newberry, Eng
land, Sir John Throckmorton recently
made a wager of a thousand guineas that
at eight, o’clock on a particular evening he
would sit down to diuuer iu a well-woven,
well-dyed, well-made suit of clothes, the
wool of which formed the fleece on sheeps’
backs at five o’clock that same morning.—
Two sheep were shorn, the wool was wash
ed, carded, stubbed, roved, spun, and
woven, the cloth was scoured, fulled, tent
ed, raised, sheared, dyed and dressed, the
garments were made, and at a quarter past
six in the evening Sir John sat down to a
dinner, at the head of his guests, in a com
plete damson-colored suit, thus winning
his wager with one hour and three-quar
ters to spare.
The Senatorial contest in the California
Legislature this week is likely to be very
lively. The prominent aspirants are Sar
gent, Cole, Egerson, Estee and Phelps.
Their chances stand in about the order in
which they are named.
