Rumored Effort to Remove the Geor
gia Railroad Headquarters.
A writer in the Chronicle and Senti
nel, yesterday morning, states that it
is rumored that at the approaching
May convention of stockholders of
the Georgia Railroad, an effort will be
made to have the headquarters of that
road removed from Augusta to At
lanta.
It is said the rumor originated from
the fact that Mr. John H. James, the
Atlanta banker, has lately been mak
ing heavy purchases of Georgia Rail
road stock, though Mr. James'has not
stated what his object is. Another
cause is said to be that the action of
the City Council at its last regular
meeting in determining to compel the
road to pay for the use of Watkins
street where it is has given
the advocates of removal a basis on
which to work.

A Young Men’s Christian Association
has been formed in Columbus, and
very interesting meetings—conducted j
by Messrs. J. A. Hall and T. K. Cree, of ;
Washington, D. C., who recently visited j
Augusta, have been held this week at
different churches. These gentlemen
were assisted by Mr. M. J. Cofer, Sec
retary of the State Association, and
several clergymen of Columbus.
MESSES. HALL AND CTREE
were to hold a Young Men’s Christian
Association meeting in Macon, last
night, at the First Street Methodist
Church. It is expected that these gen
tlemen will again visit Augusta next
Monday, on their way to Washington,
and will remain here a few days and
conduct meetings. This will be welcome
news to the members of the Augusta
Association, Messrs. Hall and Cree
having made friends of all whom they
met by their earnestness in the cause.
The Ladies’ Memorial Association.
A committee of the Ladies’ Memo
rial Association of Augusta called on
the Hon. A. H. Stephens at the Central
Hotel, yesterday afternoon, for the
purpose of ascertaining at what time it
would be convenient for him to deliver
the lecture promised by him for the
benefit of the Memorial Association.
Mr. Stephens assured the committee

promised last Fall) about the Ist of May.
At a meeting of the officers of the
Association the following resolutions

The Edgefield Advertiser says :
We hear that our gifted fellow-citi
zen of Ridge Spring, the Rev. Richard
Furman, D. D., designs delivering in
Augusta soon his beautiful lecture,
“ The Uses of Poetry.” A fortnight
ago only this lecture enchanted the
people of Winnsboro. If this rumor
be true, the people of Augusta have in
store for them an intellectual treat of
the purest and highest kind.
Mrs. D. H. Porter, relict of the Rev.
David H. Porter, died in Savannah on
Tuesday, after a long illness of con
sumption. The Advertiser, of the 11th,
noticing this event, says :
It will be remembered that previous
to the death of Rev. Dr. Porter, the
beloved pastor of the First Presbyte
rian Church, that his cherished wife
was at one time considered in articvlo
mortis, and on this occasion her ago
nized husband gave vent to his feelings
in a beautiful gem entitled “ Drifting”
—and yet she, whom he thought des
tined to pass away from him, survived
to mourn over his grave. Her recov
ery, however, was only temporary, and
the fell disease which attacked her has
finally claimed this pure Chiistian as a
victim.
Her funeral took place yesterday af
ternoon from the First Presbyterian
Church, and was very largely attended.
The services were conducted by Rev.
Dr. McFarland, and were-very solemn
and impressive.
Mrs. Porter leaves seven children,
I the oldest about eighteen years of age,
and the youngest about three years of
age. She was most affectionately es
teemed by those who knew her as a
most exemplary Christian, wife, mother
and friend.
Col. Tom Hardeman is in favor of
giving the negroes exact justice. To
show how this would work, in the mat
ter of the school fund, he thus figures
up in a communication to the Macon
Telegraph:
Let their taxes (other th in their just
proportion in carrying on the govern
ment) be set aside for their benefit and
improvement, and that of the whites
for the wants and necessities of the
whites. The aggregate value of their
property in the State was 86,157,798,
and the tax assessed upon it 830,788.99.
The value of the whole property of the
State (last year yas 8273,093,292. Now
deduct theirs, 86,157,793, and you have
the value of the property of the whites
8266,935,494. The tax assessed upon it
8814,027.82; less tax paid by colored
people. 830,783.99: — or, 8783,238.83,
amount paid by whites. Now, the funds
appropriated for school purposes hist
year by the State was 8265,000 —out of
which 84,673 white and 37,267 colored
children were schooled, at an average
monthly cost paid by the State of 81. 09
per scholar. Thus it will be seen, that
if all the taxes paid by the colored peo
ple in Georgia was appropriated ex
clusively to the support of their
schools, it would be exhausted in less
than one month. But the school fund is
derived from—half yearly rental of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, the
poll tax, and some specific taxes. From
rental, 8150,000 ; polls, white, 115,330,
colored, 84,220 —from which we cannot
reasonably expect over 8100,000; about
835,000 of which will be paid by col
ored people, or about a sum sufficient
to run their schools one month in the
year.
T COMMUNICATED. 1
Gen. Schenck and Poker.
Mr. Editor: Your issue of Wednesday
morning treats the foreign correspond
ent of the New York Tribune with too
much consideration, by quoting his
scurvy abuse of our minister at the
court of St. James. He has told the
story of Gen. Schenck’s poker-playing
propensities so often that its iteration
and the injurious use sought to be
made of it has become disgusting to
the mass of the people. It has been
known for twenty years that the Gen
eral was fond of a game of poker, just
as it was known in Henry Clay’s
lifetime thathe had a penchant for brag,
and just as it is known to-day that our
own pure-minded and distinguished
Stephens loves a game of whist. This
indulgence on the part of Gen. Schenck
was never spoken of as derogatory to
his own or the country’s character,
until he condescended to introduce the
game into British society. Had he
condescended to introduce the Tribune
writer into the same society, we would,
no doubt, have been spared this vitu
peration ; but it is not possible for
Gen. Schenck to procure for every
American the privilege of shaking the
Queen’s hand, nor can he always share
with newspaper reporters the privi
leges and hospitalities accorded to him
and his diplomatic staff by the court
and nobility of England. He has as
much influence in these matters as the
Representative of any other nation,
but there is a limit to it.
A gentleman, recently from Europe,
referring to the malevolent reports of
the General’s mania for poker, gives
this reason for his teaching the game
to a party at a gentleman’s country
seat in Wales, where he and his
daughters had been invited to spend a
few weeks, according to the custom of
English hospitality. Whist being the
national game among the aristocracy
of Britain, the General’s family were
always at a disadvantage. So he, like
a skillful strategist, succeeded in
changing the play to a game “ which
he did understand.” In all this, of
course, there is nothing to warrant the
persistent and mean attacks of the
London letter writer, and we are sur
prised that a paper so dignified and
just, as the Tribune professes to be,
would tolerate such vilification of a
distinguished official when it is mani
fest the vilifier lias no motive other |
than to gratify a vicious taste or a low ;
grudge.
Hm latest contribution represents our ;
Ambassador’s “ monomaniacal” con- J
duct, at a country residence, where, .
after a certain repast, he sprang from
his seat at the table, seized a poker
from the. hearth, and shouldering it,
with a shout of “in hoc signo vinces
called upon the astonished guests to
follow him to the drawing room. On
such occasions he is represented as ad
justing the card tables with his own
eager ministerial hands, in shocking
disregard aristocratic rules, which
give the servants a monopoly of such
menial duties. Hitherto we have sup
posed this correspondent’s pictures to
be the creations of his own distemper
ed brain, but his reference to the ser
vants leads to the belief that he has al
lowed himself to be made the dupe of
buttlers and liveried footmen. The
Tribune should obtain its scraps of
high life scandal from a better source.

Business for Business Men.
Attention has been called, during
the past few days, to the little Porta
ble Furnace now on exhibition at 51
Jackson street, near the Post Office,
which possesses so many good quali
ties, and capable of performing so
much with a nominal expenditure in
fuel, either wood, coal or chips—say
not to exceed three cents per day if
kept constantly burning—its cheapness
places it within reach of all. Its utility
is beyond a doubt, as many of our
most reliable citizens will testify who
have seen it in full practical operation
We predict an extensive sale. Thous
ands are required to supply the de
mand in Augusta and vicinity. Can be
used on any stove or in the open air.
Weight only 16 pounds, and cost 83.50
each. A portable oven for baking
bread, &c., can easily be attached.
Business men of Augqsta should care
fully examine the merits of the little
wonder, and make this the depot of
sale for a large portion of the South.
Let nothing pass that tends to the in
terest of this city as a representative
mart of the South.

The Multiplication of Diseases.—
Diseases multiply. One begets an
other. A trifling indisposition may,
therefore, originate a complication of
dangerous maladies. Indigestion be
gets far more formidable diseases ; a
multitude of ailments are traceable to
constipation; fever and ague unhinge
the entire nervous system, and are there
fore the source of the protean ail
ments which affect that portion of the
human organism. Hostetter’s Stom
ach Bitters, however, whether resorted
to at the inception of those disorders
of the stomach, bowels or liver, which
give birth to the majority of diseases
and disabilities, or taken when they
have ripened into formidable maturity,
are alike powerful to cure. The pro
cess of recovery is, of course, longer
when the malady has gained headway,
but it is none the less certain. Dys
pepsia, constipation, biliousness, kid
ney complaints and intermittent fever,
invariably yield to the operation of the
great alterative and invigorant.

SOLD BY
EDWARD BARRY & CO.,
288 Broad Street, Augusta, Ga.
THE EVIDENCE presented in the statements of the rospectable and intelligent plant
ers of the surrounding counties will satisfy Southern men that this CONCENTRA
TED CHEMICAL FERTILIZER may claim to be equal, if not superior to any in the
market; that being composed of a base of raw-bone, decomposed with Sulphuric Acid,
and a combination of Chemicals, it is devoid of the enormous amount of inert matter
which all Phosphate Rock preparations must contain; and that it presents the best
guarantee of a large profitable return, as testified to by all who have used it. We refer
to our Pamphlets for this evidence, as it is too voluminous :’or our advertisement. The
preparation is varied in composition to meet the condition of the two great classes of
our soils:
Our C. FERTILIZER adapted to Clay Soils.
Our 0. FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.
When ordering please say which KIND is require!. *
