Sunday Services at tub Churchbs. —
The weather Sunday was quite pleasant for
the season, the sun shining brightly and
the atmosphere clear, while fans were not
very much In demand for cooling the effects
of the natural heat incident to this time
of the year. For some reason there was
apparently not so many out as on the pre
vious Sunday, but, in proportion, there was
an equal if not larger display of late styles
of spring goods, fashionable makes of new
dresses, hats, and In fact everything per
taining to the female toilet; while on the
part of the gentlemen, and even of the boys,
it appeared that the majority had donned
their spring attires.
At nearly all the churches the usual Sun
day services were held, and at the Metho
dist Churches and the Protestant Episco
pal, this being the regular communion day,
the Iloly Communion was administered to
the members of each of those denomina
tions.
Rev. W. H. Clark, Rector, conducted
services at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church—
In the morning delivering a very Interest
ing sermon from 2st Corrintlilans, 15ib
chapter, 58th verse. This being the llrst
Sabbath In thegmonth,"jthe usual commu
nion day, tlie Holy Sacrament was admin
istered. At the evening service the Rector
lectured on the 27th verse of Ist chapter of
the Epistle to James.
At the Church of the Atonement (Epis
copal), the Rev. E. G. Weed, of the Church
of the Good Shepherd, Summerville, oiM
ciated at the 5 o’clock evening service, and
baptised two children.
At the Greene Street (First) Baptist
Church, in the morning, the Rev. Dr. Sum
ner, of Marion, Ala. (Corresponding Secre
tary of the Mission Boar«J), preached from
the 20th Psalm, Ist and 2d verses (more
particularly the latter verse) upon the sub
ject of the “ Necessity of Adhering to the
.Sanctuary.” At night the Pastor (Rev.
Dr. Dixon) continued his sermons upon
the marriage of Boaz to Ruth, from the 4th
chapter of Rutli. Tic has delivered four
sermons on this subject, and will conclude
<if h« is In the city) on next Sunday eve
siing, when he will give a general review
of the Book of Ruth.
At the Kollock Street Baptist Church
we understand that the usual services were
held, but we failed to receive a report,
which we regret. There is a very large
membership attached to this Church, and
by reason of its situation, being near the
Augusta Factory and In a thickly popu
lated neighborhood, together with the ef
fort* of its earnest Pastor, Rev. Mr. Wil
liams, it Is calculated to do much good.
At St. Patrick’s Catholic Church the
usual early Mass was celebrated with
High Mass at 10:30 o’clock, and Vespers
In the afternoon. At the 10:80 service,
Rev. Father Hamilton preached an elo
quent and instructive sermon on the rc
relation between the Virgin Mary and the
Saviour, and the duty due from Christians
to each.
At St. John's Methodist Episcopal
Church, Rev. A. T. Mann, the Pastor,
delivered, in the evening, in his usnal
Interesting manner, a discourse from
Phillipians, 3d chapter, 20th and 21st
verses, and at night, from Galatians, Otn
chapter, Bth verse. At each service there
was the usually largo congregation, while
the singing was excellent.
The pulpit of St. James’ (M. E.) Church
was rilled by the regular pastor, Rev. H. H.
Parks, who, as at every meeting, delivered
a most excellent sermon from Lake, 14
chap., 25th to 38th verse. The congrega
tion was as large as usual. The pastor’s
remarks formed a common sense exposition
of “ What we are required to do to become
followers of Jesus.” The text upon which
he founded his remarks on this occasion is
found in Romans, Bthjchap., 24th verse :
“ For we are saved by hope.” The choir,
as usual, acquitted themselves finely. The
singing, accompanied by the orgaD, is a
great attraction at this church—the choir
*>eing composed of very fine singers—which,
with the interesting pastor, generally Alls
Jhe seats, especially on Sunday evenings.
At Asbnry (M. E) Church the pastor,
Rev. Mr. Davies, held forth In the earnest,
interesting style peculiar to him. He en
deavored to convince bis hearers that to
love oue a not bar was the duty of all Chris
tians—“ A new commandment 1 give unto
you to love one another.” At night he
continued his sermon upon the same sub
ject to the congregation which always rills
the church. We regret ttiat we could not
obtain his text. This church is situated In
the same neighborhood as the Kollock
Htreet Baptist, and has been of great bene
fit in improving the morals of that portion
of the community.
Os the Christian Church—Rev. J. S
Lamar, Pastor—we are unable to give a
report, as Mr. L. resides out of the city,
and our reporter was unable to reach him
or any of the members of the congregation
in time to close this report. The Pastor
of this church is considered one of the
most earnest ministers In this city, and
through his efforts he has acquired a large
membership lor his church, who are ener
getic and conscientious in the advancement
of religion.
At the Jewish Synagogue Saturday noon,
Rev. J. Roseufeld, of Savannah, delivered
h most Interesting lecture upon the “Unity
of God ” to a very full audience.
Between 1 and 2 o’clock on Sunday the
Thankful (colored) Baptist Church bap
tized thirty converts In the Savannah river
In the presence of a very large number of
colored people, with some white spectators.
Withal, the Sabbath passed off In An
gusta quietly and pleasantly.
THE HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITION.—Au
gusta is the only city in the Booth that has
regular horticultural exhibitions. Her fa
cilities for making these exhibitions suc
cessful are great, and wc trust that our
people will take that Interest in them
which they deserve.
Augusta Tins Week. —This will be a
gala week in Augusta, and strangers, as
well as our own citizens, can rind many
attractions in her midst. At this season
of the year Augusta is one of the most
beautiful cities of the South, with her ave
nues of green trees and her thousands of
flowers. The lower portion of Broad street
and the entire length of Greene are espe
cially noticeable, and are always admired
by visitors.
To-day commences the excitement of the
week. At three o’clock the Augusta Sa
bre Club, In full uniform, will parade at
the Parade Ground. At four, tho beauti
ful banner which has lieen on exhibition
for several days in the window of Messrs.
F. A. Brahe & Cos., will be presented to the
Club by Davenport Jackson, Esq.—one of
our most talented young lawyers—on be
half of the fair donors. This will be a
most interesting occasion, and a large
number of spectators will doubtless be
present. Later in the afternoon, the Club,
on foot, will proceed to the Union Depot to
welcome the Savannah Sabre Club, which
will arrive by the Central Railroad train.
Wednesday morning the gates of the
Fair Grounds will be opened, and the
Horticultural Exhibition inaugurated. As
seen by the programme in another place,
the two Sabre Clubs will proceed to tho
Grounds at an early hour, and commence
the tournament., which has been the all
absorbing topic In the two cities of Au
gusta and Savannah for some time past.
This will probably lie one of the most ex
citing affairs of the kind that has ever oc
curred in the Southern States and will be
warmly contested. Both Clubs arc in ex
cellent training, and will each strive to be
successful.
The convention of the stockholders of
the Georgia Railroad will also commence
on Wednesday. It is expected that there
will be a more than usually large attend
ance. Probably the principal matter of
general interest that will come up before
the convention will be the proposed en
dorsement by the Georgia Railroad of the
bonds of the Port Royal Railroad to the
amount of $1,500,000.
Tharsday the Horticultural Fair will be
continued. As on the day before, the
Sabre Clubs will proceed to the Grounds,
and the contest will be resumed. On this
day, however, it will be between individual
members of the different clubs.
The Georgia Railroad Convention will
probably also be in session on Thursday.
At Lafayette Race Course a trotting race
will take place under the direction of the
club which now has charge of the course.
A race will also occur at the Fair Grounds.
In the evening a grand ball will be given
at Floral Hall. The successful knights
will crown their chosen ladies and a bril
liant assemblage of the elite of the city and
other places will doubtless be present.
Each evening during the week there will
be an exhibition at Girardey’s Opera House
of Col. Johnston’s panorama, the “ Tour of
Eu rope.”
Our readers will perceive from the fore
going that they will have ample oppor
tunities for enjoying themselves this week.
Everything will be dono to make the occa
sion one to be long remembered. Our mer
chants have received large stocks of spring
goods, and the dry goods stores will be
filled with all the choicest novelties of the
season. Strangers will fluil that several
pleasant honrs can lie passed in numbers
of our large mercantile establishments.—
We extend a cordial welcome to all visit
ors, and trust that their stay in our midst
may be altogether pleasant.
At James A. Guay & Co.'s.—Visitors
and citizens will rind at the magnificent
establishment of the above firm a full sup
ply of all the newest styles in llama laee
paletots, silks, percales, &e., as well as a
quantity of real old laces.
The editors of the Albany News, who re
cently visited Augusta, gives a glowing
description of the establishment of Messrs.
James A. Gray & Cos. We clip the follow -
ing extract from his article:
“A Southwestern merchant visited the
establishment with us, and was so aston
ished at the low prices that he proceeded
to make a large bill, and assured us that
he did as well as he could do in New York.
Their retail prices are also far more rea
sonable than in any other Georgia market
—by at least 20 per cent. This we assert
upon positive knowledge, and with the
proof at hand.
“ Wc write thus strongly, not in the way
of a puff, but because of our earnest pur
pose to foster and encourage home enter
prise, and give assurance to capital and
energy that Georgia will not neglect them.
One such House as that of James A. Gray
&Cos , is a glory to a city, and If Georgia
merchants would patronize it, there would
soon be another aud another till every city
In the State could boast, of magnificence,
and the State herself grow rich in her mer
chant princes.”
Tub Frbdeuickbbtjrg Stour —One
hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth
of dry goods, consisting of everything
usually kept In a first class dry goods es
tablishment will be on exhibition this week
at the Fredericksburg Store. This is one
of the most complete establishments of the
kind in the Southern country, and is splen
didly conducted. Everything is arranged
in the best order on the different floors, and
the visitor may rest assured that he or she
will llnd there anything from the smallest
to the largest article In the dry goods line.
Great bargains arc offered, and our readers
would do well to examine the stock. The
Messrs. Richards are thorough going men
of business and have done much to im
prove our city. They have established
themselves firmly in the favor of the
people, and are extensively patronized,
as they deserve to be. Head their ad
vertisement and pay a visit to their estab
lishment.

ber yesterday afternoon, at 3 o’clock.
Present: His Honor Mayor Estes, and
Aldermen Meyer, Rogers, Barrett, Evans,
l’ournelle, Philip, IDnnett, Yonng and
Walsh.
The minutes were read and confirmed.
PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS.
A petition from W. J. Napier for a free
liquor license was, on motion of Mr. Walsh,
referred to tho Mayor with power to act.
A petition from S. J. Davis, E. D. Wing
ard, and others, for an extension of Gardi
ner street from Kollock to Marbury street,
and also for a bridge across the canal at
the foot of Pine, street.
The Mayor said he had examined the lo
cality and found that the land on which
the petitioners wished the bridge to be
built was piivate property.
On motion of Mr. Walsli, the petition
was referred to the Streets and Drains
Committee, to report back.
A petition from Samuel Levy, President
of the Hebrew Congregation of this city,
asking Council to rescind the decision of
the Police Conjmittec fixing the site of the
proposed police stable in rear of the Syna
gogue, as such stable would be a nuisance
to the Congregation.
Mr. Meyer moved to refer the petition to
the Police Committee.
Mr. Walsh said that if the matter was
put before Council he should certainly
vote to grant the petition.
Mr. Moyer withdrew his motion.
Capt. Young said that he did not think
the Committee had ever decided to put the
stable in the rear of tho Synagogue.
On motion of Mr. Barrett, the petition
was referred to the Police Committee, with
power to act.
A communication from George A. (Jus
tin, agent for Naylor, Vickers & Cos., of
Sheffield, England, and Naylor & Cos., of
Boston, New York and Philadelphia, man
ufacturers of steel bells, calling the atten
tion of Council to a number of proposi
tions for replacing the broken fire alarm
bell now hanging in the tower, on motion
of Mr. Walsh, was referred to the Engine
Committee, to report back.
A petition from the First Ward Baptist
Home Mission Sunday School fora lot In
the old city hospital lot.
Mr. Barrett said that lot. was to pay the
city $25,00, but it seemed to him that the
$25,000 was going the wrong way.
Mr. Rogers said that nearly all of the
lots were advertised for sale. He thought
it best not to act in this matter for the
present.
Mr. Meyer said that It was true much of
this land had been given away, but it had
been given for a good purpose.
Mr. Barrett moved to refer the petition
to the South Commons Committee.
Mr. Meyer said he would like to know if
the petitioners made up their minds to buy
one of the lots, would Council give them
time to pay for it.
Mr. Barrett said that he was not opposed
to giving the lot to the Baptists. Ho did
not belieye, however, that Council had the
right to give the property away to any de
nomination. The Widows’ Home was for
all. lie was willing to give them six
years to pay for it, but was not in favor of
giving the lot to them.
Mr. Walsh said that if a petition of this
kind came from the congregation to which
he belonged he should oppose it on princi
ple. He believed it was a wrong precedent
to establish. Like Mr. Barrett he did not
think Council had any right to give city
property away, lie, however, was in favor
of letting them pay for it in any length of
time they wished.
Mr. Barrett moved that the Committee
on Booth Commons be authorized to sell a
lot on Greene street, and if it be purchased
by the Baptist mission that they be allowed
pay for it in six annual instalments. Car
ried.
Mr. Rogers from the South Commons
Committee asked for permission to sell a
lot on Taylor street.
Mr. Mi yer moved that the matter be re
ferred to the South Commons Committee,
to report back.
Mr. Rogers moved that the South Com
mons Committee be authorized to adver
tise the lot to be sold on the first Tuesday
in June next. Carried.
A petition from R. S. Agnew, agent of
Mrs. Mary Harrison, asking for reduction
of assessment on real estate.
Mr. Walsh moved to refer the petition 1o
the Finance Committee, with power to
act.
Mr. Meyer moved as an amendment that
the petition be laid on the table.
Mr. Walsh said he thought it far best to
refer the petition to the Finance Commit
tee. Laying it on the table would be a
summary way of disposing of it.
Mr. Meyer thought it should be treated
in a summary manner. Mr. Agnew had
acquiesced in the assessment as made by
the Board of Assessors.
The motion to lay on the tabic was put
anil lost.
The original motion to refer to the Fi
nance Committee, with power to act, was
adopted.
A petition from sundry citizens for a
lamp on the corner of Telfair and Lincoln
streets was, on motion of Mr. Barrett, re
ferred to the Lamp Committee, with power
to act.
Mr. Barrett said that he had understood
that the lamp on the corner of Walker and
Centre streets was seldom ever lighted.
Mr. Walsh moved that a lamp be placed
in front of the Good Templars’ Hall on
Fenwick street. Carried.
Mr. Evans moved that the Lamp Com
mittee be authorized to place a lamp on the
corner of Watkins and Centre streets. Car
ried.
REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES.
Mr. Meyer, from the Streets and Drains
Committee, said that he had an estimate of
what it would cost to place a barrel drain
on Centre streot. It would cost $1,350 for
the brick, to say nothing of the work and
the cement. The drain In front of the
Cemetery would cost about $1,500.
Mr. Rogers moved that the report of the
Chairman of the Streets and Drains Com
mittee be received for information. Car
ried.
Mr. rournellc, from the Market Commit
tee, said that the committee had concluded
to make some slight repairs upon the Mar
ket In the way of plastering, whitewashing,
&c. They had also decided to discon
tinue the office of Deputy Clerk of Lower

RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES.
By Mr. Ponrnelle :
A resolution that the Mayor and Market
Committee be authorized to appoint a De
puty Clerk of the* Lower Market to hold
office under the present regulations of
Council until the Ist of October next at a
salary of fifty dollars per month.
Mr. Pournelie said that he offered the re
solution because he felt that this year there
would be a great necessity for a Deputy
Clerk.
Mr. Rogers said, to show how much the
Market was making, lie would state that
the Scale fees alone, this year amounted t*
more than the tota> receipts last year.
Mr. Walsh said that when the question
came up before the committee he had voted
for Ihc removal of the deputy clerk upon
the recommendation of a gentleman who
was posted In the matter and who did not
think that a deputy clerk was necessary.
The fact that only $l,lOO had lieen received
from the Market last year ami $4,000 this
year was very commendable, but it did not
show the necessity for a deputy clerk.
Mr. Meyer said that he was sure any
one man could attend to the duties to be
performed at the Market at this season of
the year. They had increased tho salary
of the Clerk of the Market, and he did not
see why they should now make anew
office for his benefit.
Mr. Rogers thought that in two or three
weeks’ time a deputy clerk would be im
peratively necessary.
Mr. Walsh moved to amend Mr. Pour
nclle’s resolution by authorizing the Mayor
and Market Committee to appoint a depu
ty clerk whenever they should deem neces
sary.
Mr. Meyer said if a deputy clerk was to
be appointed, he would be in favor of put
ting the Clerk’s salary where it was origi
nally.
By Mr. Philip—
An ordinance to prevent cows, goats,
Ac., from wandering about, the streets.
Mr. Barrett moved that the rules be sus
pended and the ordinance be read the third
time.
Mr. Rogers objected, and the ordinance
went over under the rules.
Mr. Barrett said that he had purchased
rive fountains to be put up in tho place of
pumps, and he would like to meet, the Com
mittee on Pumps and Wells at some ap
pointed time, in order to know where they
wished them placed.
Mr. Meyer moved that a vote of thanks
be tendered Mr. Pewcen, the Keeper of tho
City Hall, for Ids beautiful floral decora
tion of the Council Chamber. Adopted
unanimously.
The accounts and salaries properly aud
ited were ordered to be paid.
There being no further business, Conn
ell, on motion, adjourned.
A Totrn of Europe. —Col. Johnston’s
“ Tour of Europe,” which was exhibited at
Glraidey’s Opera House for the first time
last evening, is undoubtedly one of the
best panoramas that has ever visited Au
gusta. It is, in fact, a collection of fine
paintings, giving one a vivid idea of Groat
Britain and the Continent of Europe.
Paris, London, Naples and other cities and
noted places were put before us in all their
beauty. Col. Johnston is not only an ar
tist of fame, but a great humorist. Ilis
sallies of wit last evening drew forth fre
quent shouts of laughter, and put the au
dience in the best of humor. We advise
our readers not to neglect the opportunity
to witness this panorama this evening.
Wiiat is the matter at Powklt, & Mul
ler’s, and why are they selling goods bo
cheap ? We answer : Because our South
ern dry goods house is now lielng enlarged
to make room for increasing friends and a
larger stock. It being absolutely neces
sary to diminish our well selected variety
of Dress Goods, Notions, Domestics, &c.,
we will make it to every one’s interest to

L-NGION the following peculiar advantages, which recommend it to the Bouthcrn Public
Ist. It is a PURELY SOUTHERN COMPANY, under the management of Southern Gen
tlcmen of high standing, both for integrity and business capacity.
2d. No institution in tho South has ever attained the same amount of success in Life In
snrancc. 1 his Company lias Issued iu about, six years MOKE THAN Cti 000 POLICIES.
3d The PIEDMONT AND ARLINGTON 19 now doing business In some TWENTY
SEVEN STATES AND TERRITORIES, beside a prosperous Agency in Loudon, England
thus giving it an extent of surface which places it beyond the liaz/.ard of local influences a lie el •
ing its prosperity.
4th. THE PIEDMONT AND ARLINGTON is tho only Southern Company which his
passed the rigid scrutity of the Northern and Western Insurance Departments, including New
Yoik, Missouri, Ohio, California, &c., thus giving its Poliey Holders every security that cm be
claimed by any Northern Company.
sth. All of the money paid to this Company over end above expenses and losses is Invested
in the State from which it is derived.
oth. It Is, and always has boon, prompt in the payment of all claims against it, having paid,
within tho past four years, more tliau 1600,000 iu Matured Claims, ol which more than O,(W
has been paid iu tbc State of Georgia, and iu no case has there been any litigation or unm eeV a
ry delay, and the Company is now more than 25 per ceut. below its expectancy of loss.
7th. The terms of Insurance in this Company areas favorable to the intern! as cxic
rieucc has proved can be safely offered. It tikes no busiucss at the risk of safety, and oilers
no inducements which cannot bo fully complied with.
Bth. Its teservo is ample and wc 1 secured. Us management is economical. Its invest
ments arc sate. Its Assets large. Its Surplus abundant, and Us Annual Income more than
One Million and a Quarter. It hsues Policies on the ordinary Life, Limited Payment, Endow
ment, Term, Children’# Deposit Plans, it also issues on Stock Rates.
These are facts which cannot be controverted, and we (oel that wo have the right to ask of
Southern men: Why should they place the Interests of their wives and children in the hands
of Northern Insurance Companies, managed by men who have no especial interest- in their
prosperity; who are strangers, without anything in common with us, and whose frelinr«, il
they have any, are Inimical to all wc hold dear, when such Cornpauics as the PIEDMON T
AND ARLINGTON, of Virginia, offer them every advantage and Inducement timt can la; done
with safety by any Company—with this advantage, that it is identified with every interest ne
cnliar to Southern people.

A CARD.
At THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE SECOND YEAR wc offer our thanks for
the cordial and gratifying marks of encouragement and approval which our first year’s
business lias received. It was conceived and started under the conviction that there
was ample room In Augusta for a FIRST CLASS MERCHANT TAILORING ES
TABLISHMENT, and such a house would receive the hearty endorsement of all who
arc wide awake to their own interest. We found they were prompt to welcome the ap
pearance of such a house, devoted entirely to the business. Wc have earnestly labor
ed to meet their expectation, and we cordially state, as flattering as were our hopes in
the outset, success has, in all respects, far exceeded oar expectation.-
Thanking yon for past favors, we hope you will continue to favor us with your
orders.
