The Southern Express.— Mr. Van Buren
has our thanks for late Northern papers. Iu
one of them, the Richmond Examiner we find
the following:
Personal.— We were pleased to meet Mr. M.
J. O’Brien, of the Southern Express Company,
in our city yesterday. He is a genial, high-toned
gentleman, and cannot tail to have friends who
are glad to see him wherever he goes, and he
goes everywhere, and everybody knows him in
the South.
Exactually so.
Constable’s Election. —At the meeting of
the Inferior Court, held on Monday last, a re
solution was adopted “that at an election to
be held on the first Saturday in September
next, in each of the militia districts in this
county, for two < onstables for each of said dis
tricts, where there are not duly elected consta
bles, and that the magistrates of the several
districts be required to superintend said elec
tion, and take satisfactory bonds from 6aid
constables, and file the same with the Clerk of
this Court, as required by law.”
County Court.— The criminal docket was
continued yesterday. The eases were defended
very stoutly and but little progress was made.
The following were disposed of:
The State vs. Paul Jenkins, larceny from the
house—verdict of guilty. Thomas Dugas, jr.,
accessory before the fact of simple larceny—
plead guilty. William Johnson, larceny—plead
guilty. Janies Galphin, malicious mischief
verdict of guilty. Lem Thompson, larceny
from the person.
AV anted, a Farm. —In another column will
Jie found such a notice. Would that we had
the pleasure of calling- attention to such notices
more frequently. There are thousands of acres
of land in our State which will never he culti
vated again in large bodies. Let the owners of
such tracts and plantations divide them into
farms, and dispose of them on easy terms to
poor men who will cultivate them, and culti
vate them well.
“ Between You and I.”—A contributor to
the Macon Telcgragh blames the editor for the
use of this phrase in one of his communica
tions. The editor retorts that the contributor’s
MS. was at fault and the proof reading inadvert
ent. Many educated persons constantly sin
against grammar in the employment of this
expression. Between you and me —of course.
New Candidate for the Mayoralty. —lt
will be seen that Mr. John D. (smith is an
nounced as a candidate for the Mayoralty
election to-morrow.
Undelivered Telegram. —Jas. Well Hew
itt (club rooms).
Off With the Military Dead Heads.—
General Grant, says the Examiner , sometime
since very quietly revoked his order requiring
department commanders to forward copies of
papers containing anythiug hostile to any
branch of the Government. Under this order
the officers of the different departments in the
Bomb have been claiming a copy, free of charge
of every public journal published under their
jurisdiction. It is well to know that these gen
try have no longer an excuse for making such a
demand, and their names should be stricken at
once from the list of dead heads. The fact is
that General Grant’s order neither gave, nor
gould give, authority to his subordinates to
take a single paper from any office of publica
tion without compensation. The General
could rot do bitch a thing himself, nor could
he employ others to do it.
Getting Scared. —According to the Radi
cals, the country is in a sad plight. Brownlow is
to ho assassinated, Geary and Curtin arc to be
assassinated, half the people of the North and
nil the people of the South are rebels and trai
tors, and the President of the country is a Judas.
If these things arc true, this is the worst lost
country that ever took a stand among the
stations. The assassinations above named arc
the only jobs immediately in hand.
Sale of Point Lookout. —The Baltimore
Sun says: This well known point, situated at
tlie mouth of the Potomac river, much resorted
to previous to the war as a summer resort, but
which for some time previous to the close of
the conflict was used as a prison for Coulede
rate prisoners, has recently bceu purchased by
a company of New York capitalists, who design
putting everything in first rate repair by next
season, with a view of using it as a watering
place.
Moke Surgeons Needed in New Orleans.
—Major General Baird, assistant commissioner
ol‘ freedmen’s affairs lor Louisiana, telegraphs
to the commissioner to have two additional
surgeons detailed for duty in New Orleans,
with as little delay as possible. It Is suggested
the requisition is made for the purpose of meet
ing any necessity which may arise out of the
prevalence of cholera in that city. Perhaps the
General is preparing for another battle with
the white folks.
Chester Lord, a young man who, seven years

ing switch engine, but fell upon the track in
such a manner that his left leg was terribly
crushed below the knee, while his right suffered
a compound fracture near the ankle. Both his
feet will probably have to be amputated.
Terrible Storm in Rnanoke.— The Roa
noke Times gives an account of a terrible
storm of wind and hail which occurred in Roa
noke county on Saturday week. It exceeded
in violence, and in the amount of destruction
done, anything before known in that county.—
Corn and tobacco crops were destroyed, barns
and fences blown down and live stock killed.
An Italian boy, 10 years of age, had a tooth
extracted in Boston, in June, and as blood con

forty-five days, when he died from the effects.
A wrathful husband publicly horsewhipped

Look Alive. —By some curious coincidence
it appears that the coming year, 1807, has been
fixed upon by Mahomedans, Brahmins, and va
rious other sects, as well as by some few Chris
tians, as a period in the history of the universe
to be marked by some great aud marvellous
change.

Education in the North,
One of the many revelations, says the Rich
mond Whig, made touching the Northern peo
ple by the war, was that their boasted system
of universal education was the merest shamaud
pretence imaginable. The battle-fields in Vir
ginia, which were always, till Lee’s lines were
broken at Petersburg, held by the Confederates,
were generally strewn with letters to and from
Federal soldiers, wagon loads of which were
gathered up in the early part of the war, and
passed around from hand to hand among our
people. thing which struck every one
with astonishment was the amount of obscenity
and blasphemy they contained. The second
was the infan'ile grade of education the pen
manship, spelling and grammar betrayed. Nine
out of every ten of these letters showed an
amount of scholarship that would have done
no credit to a boy of seven years of age. Im
pressed as our people had been by the never
ending boasts of the North over its system of
free schools, and the contrasts with Southern
illiterateness continually drawn, it was with real
surprise the discovery was made that the grown
men of the North were for the most part barely
able to make themselves intelligible with pen,
ink and paper. Having obtained this informa
tion in the manner stated, we are entirely pre
pared (except for its candor) -for the following
statement made by the Hartford Press. Says
that journal:
‘• Men who have paid much attention to the
subject say that the education in our common
schools is wretched. We pretend to be able to
read, write and spell. There is not probably
one in ten who leaves the common school able
to do either correctly. Very few people can
read well enough to l ead aloud ordinary news
paper news intelligently and agreeably. Fewer
yet can spell correctly ; and as to writing, how
many letters does one see written fairly, with
decent punctuation, or knowledge of the ordi
nary rules of composition ? The standard to
which common school scholars attain in these
elements of knowledge is believed to be lower
than it was thirty years ago. The attention of
those interested in education is being excited
by these alarming facts.”
Make a Note of This. —His Excellency
Gov. Orr has received from Mrs. Abell, of St.
Joseps, Missouri, a draft for one thousaud dol
lars, being a portion of the proceeds of a fair
given by a Ladies’ Associaiion, which Mrs.
Abell represents, and which was organized for
the relief of the suffering poor of the South.
Similar drafts from the same Association, in
various amounts, have been sent to other States
of the South. The funds will be distributed
under the immediate direction, and at the dis
cretion of their Executives.

wheat. This specimen was grown at Alcar

An Attempt to Assassinate Gov. Curtin
and Gen. Geary, at York, Pa.—The Harris
burg Telegraph of Saturday morning, says:
It is horrible to contemplate, the fact, and
equally abhorrent to discuss it, hut it is never
theless true, that there was a deliberate, organ
ized and persistent attempt at York, on Thurs
day, August 9, to assassinate the present, as
well as the luture Republican Governor of
Pennsylvania. At least twenty reliable and in
telligent gentlemen corroborate each other in

Curtin, in the train carrying the Dauphin and

Significance of Mr. Davis’ Trial.—Black
wood's Magazine , for July, thus refers to the
significance of Mr. Davis’ trial:
The approaching trial of Mr. Jefferson Davis
will test the validity of State rights in a manner
worthy of the immense importance of the prin
ciple. A great defendant and a great cause will
compel a great verdict. The Southern theory,
,and it used to be the Northern theory nntil the
European element became predominant in the
Puritanic and despotic section of the Union, is,
that the first allegiance of a section is due to
bis own State. When the State of Mississippi
seceded from the Union by the legitimate ac
tion of Us Legislature, Mr. Davis would have
been a traitor to Mississippi if he had refused
his adhesion. Upon that issue his trial will de
pend. It will be a great cause in America and
throughout the world ; but greatest in America,
because the verdict will help to determine the
question that lies at the root of American lib
erty. If the first allegiance is due to the Fed
eral power in cases not external to the Union,
American Democracy is as dead as American
slavery, sud the future dictator has but to
sharpen his sword aud bide his time for his
inevitable triumph.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE CONVENTION.
Philadelphia, August 16.
The Convention met at 10 o’clock. The wig
wam was crowded to its utmost capacity. Half
of the audience are ladies. Senator CowaD,
from the Committee on Resolutions and Ad
dress, presented a declaration of principles,
which was unanimously and enthusiastically
adopted. It declares that the war just closed
has maintained the authority of tile Constitu
tion, and has preserved the Union with equal
rights, dignity and authority of all the States
perfect, unimpaired; that representation in
Congress and in the Electoral College, is a right
abiding in and a duty imposed upon every
State, and that neither Congress nor the Gene
ral Government have any authority or power to
deny the right to any State; that Congress has
no power over the elective franchise, but that
right belongs exclusively to each State; that
no State has the right to withdraw from the
Union ; that on all constitutional amendments
all States have an equal right to vote ; that
slavery is abolished and forever prohibited;
that the national debt is sacred and inviolable
and the Confederate debt invalid. It recognizes
the services of Federal soldiers and sailors, and
the debt due by the nation to them and their wid
ows and orphans, and endorses President John
son for his steadfast devotion to the Constitu
tion, laws and interest of the couutrv. The ad
dress was prepared by Raymond, of New York"
It was read by that gentleman and unanimous
ly adopted. The National Committees, Execu
tive and Financial, were then anuounced.
Senator Doolittle said, in opening address,
that the Convention was one of the greatest
events of our day. It was the first National
Convention iu six years, and in the interim
tlierc had been blood, agony and tears. Our
brothers had fallen and our resources been
wasted on a thousand battle fields; but, thank
God the assurances here tell us peace has come
at last. If people of the whole couutry could
see fraternal feeling here there would be no
struggle at the polls this'fall. (Great applause.)
But as the whole people cant be here to witness
what is transpiring, the greater work rests on
us. From this time until election of the next
Congress we should be untiring iu our ex
ertions to see that the next Congress of this
one shall continue to refuse this sacred right of
representation to equal States, that the next
shall recognize them. (Applause.) When that
is done Union is restored, and when Union is
restored we shall be prepared to enter upon a
higher and nobler career among the nations of
the earth than has ever yet been occupied by
any government upon which the sun of heaven
ever shone. (Applause.)

The Government Gold.
The following letter from some of the first
foreign banking and shipping firms of New
York was transmitted by mail to the Secretary
of the Treasury:
,l New York, July, 1566.
“ To lion. Hugh McCulloch, Secretary of the
Treasury :
“Bir: In view of the embarrassments and
impediments to the regular course of trade in
duced by the speculative movements in gold,
and aggravated by the accumulation of coin in
the Treasury, we beg respectfully to suggest to
you the expediency and propriety of disposing
of all gold actually the property of the Govern
ment beyond whatever amount it may be deem
ed essential to keep on hand for the payment
of the gold interest on the public debt.
According to general belief, iu which we par
ticipate, the sole ground for imposing duties
upon imports payable in gold was to provide
for payment of the interest on the debt, and
was not intended to convert the Treasury into
a savings bank for the hoarding of gold coin,
thus contributing to impede the legitimate
course of business, and to reduce all commer
cial transactions to the basis of speculation iu
gold, as is the ease at present. We therefore
further respectfully submit to your considera
tion, as the most effectual means of checking
inordinate speculation, whether it would not be
advisable to sell all your surplus gold at least
once a week.
“ We consider the rate of premium a matter
of secondary importance. Gold at 150 means
practically the repudiation of all debts, public
and private, to the extent of one-third ot their
whole amount, and we do not deem it essential
to the dignity or well being of the Government
to benefit to any great extent by that fact.
“ We have the honor to remain, sir, your
most obedient servants,

How to Groom Horses.— ln grooming a
horse men sometimes use a heavy currycomb
and a heavier hand, not because they are'neces
sary to the cleaning process, but simply to see
how the animal will “cut up.” This is all
wrong, and it is a pity that a groom thus abus
ing his power could not be made to change
places with the horse as often as this wrong is
perpetrated. Many horses, and good ones too,
are thin-skinned and peculiarly sensitive to the
touch of the currycomb. Such might well be
spared the infliction, since a wisp of hay and a
card with fine teeth will he found ample for the
purpose of cleaning and friction. A heavy and
rough instrument, used with an unsparing
hand, makes a horse suspicious, sours his temp
er, and sometimes induces disagreeable retalia
tion. A horse well and properly i roomed
twice a day will appear better, feel better, work
more vigorously, and be less likely to become
ill than if neglected or loft to snch grooming
only as a fence corner or a friendly rack may
supply.— Rural New Yorker.
Mu. hoi.pen and the Constitution.— We
begiu to thiuk, seriously, that if the new Con
stitution has been defeated, it is very much ow
ing to Mr. Holden’s advocacy of it. A friend
informs us that a product in an adjoining coun
ty, where the vote was almost unanimous against
it, the enquiry of flic people, ns they came up
to the election ground, generally was • “ Will
Holden vote for it ?” They acknowledged that
they had uot seen the papers, nor heard much
about it, and really did not know bow to vote,
but thought they could determine how to vote
right, if they knew how “Holden” stood. They
were told that Mr. Holden was for the Now
Constitution. That was enough—many ex
claiming, “ well, if Holden is for it I’m again
it. —Raleigh Sentinel.
A Duel on a Large Scale.—A letter from
Baden contains the following, which illustrates
the state of feeling in the lesser German
States:
“ Last week 40 students arrived near the Cas
tle of Durbacb, near Offenburg, from Friburg,
accompanied by a surgeon. They were armed
with rapiers, and retired into the interior of a
forest, where they selected a suitable spot for
fighting duels on a large scale, 20 to 20. They
fought for a long time, inflicting wounds on
each other. One is said to have had his life
endangered. What was the origin of this bat
tle ? Politics. Twenty for Austria and twen
ty for Prussia.

extensively used by Missionaries in India, Chi
na, Turkey—indeed, in nearly all the Mission
ary Stations, not only to counteract the climate
influences on the families of Missionaries, but
for the cure of cholera and fevers prevalent in
the East. It is used internally for all diseases
of the bowels, and externally for wounds,
burns, bruises, Ac. Sold by druggists gener

BOARDING
AND
DAY SCHOOL,
COR. WASHINGTON AND TELFAIR STS.,
AUGUSTA, GA.
The school will re open October
3<l. The Scholastic Year will consist of thirty-five
weeks of session and two of vacation, at Christmas.
The Misses Sedowtck desire to make their School
one of Superior Excellence, and no pains will be
spared to accomplish their end. Augusta, from its
central position, from the well known and universally
acknowledged refinement of its society, presents very
superior advantages as a place wherein to establish
snch a School.
The house secured is large and airy; the rooms
commodious and Weil ventilated, and attached is a
large omamontal garden, presenting a desirable place
for pleasant and healthful exercise.
There will be a French Governess in the family, of
established ability, with whom the young ladies will
be obliged always to converse in French. The pupils
will be under the constant supervision of experienced
and refined Teachers, and their moral and religious
training will bo carefully attended to.
The Course of Study will embrace all llie various
English Branches and Mathematics, necessary for a
thorough and accomplished education, and will also
include Instruction in Vocal and Instrumental Music,
Drawing, Painting, and the Latin, German and French
Languages. Vocal Music will be a daily exercise in
the School.
As the number of Boarding Pnpils is limited, pre
ference will be given those who apply to enter the
family for the Scholastic year.
Classes will be formed m French, Vocal and Instru
mental Music, and Drawing and Painting, for those
young Indies who do not wish to enter the School as
Day Pupils.
Circulars, containing terms and additional particu
lars for both Boarding and Day Pupils, may by ob
tained by addressing the Principals.
The Misses Srdwick having taught in Augusta for
the last sixteen years, have no hesitation in referring
to their former patrons and pnpils, and to the foiiow
fng gentlemen:

CONSTITUTION LIVE SYRUP
fIAS PRODUCED A REVOLUTION IN
MEDICINE.
What may seem almost incredible is, that many dis
eases hitherto considered hopelessly incurable arc fre
quently cured in a few days or weeks ; and we cheer
fully invite the investigations of the liberal minded
and scientific to cures which have no parallel at the
present day.
During the past five years we have contended with
obstacles and overcome opposition ns herculean as
were ever encountered by any reformers.
RAPIDITY OF CURE.
Some say, “ Your cures are too quick,” while others
doubt their permanence, and think that diseases can
only be cured by the slow, recuperative process of Na
ture.
This is our reply : In health, the body, like a well
balanced scale, is in a state of equilibrium. But when,
from any cause, down goes one side of the scale, we
have the effects of disease. What is requisite is to re
store the normal balance of Ihe scale.
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP
Is a positive and specific remedy for all diseases origi
nating from an Impure State ot the Blood, and for all
(hereditary) Diseases transmitted from parent to child.
PARALYSIS.
It is so universally admitted that Constitution Life
Syrup is the only effective means of restoration in the
various forms ot Paralysis, that we need not reiterate
that it is emphatically the great Life-giving Power.
DYSPEPSIA.
Indigestion, Weight at Stomach, Flatulence,
Liver Complaint, Want of Appetite, Bad
Breath, Constipation, Biliousness.
, SCROFULA.
Struma, King's Evil, Glandular Swellings, Ery
sipelas, Ulceration, Salt llheum.
This taint (hereditary and acquired) filling file with
untold misery, is by all usual medical remedies incu
rable.
RHEUMATISM.
[Arthritis,] Lumbago, Neuralgia, Sciatica,
Gout, 'Tic Doloreaux.
If there is any disease in which the Constitution
Life Syrup is a sovereign, it is Klieumatism ami its
kindred affections. The most intense pains are almost
in it..ntljr alhnrintrd —enormous swellings are reduced.
Cases, chronic or vicarious, of twedty or forty years’
standing have been cured by us.
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP
Purges the system entirely from all the evil effects of
Mercury, removing Ihe Bad Breath and curing the
Weak Joints and Rheumatic Pains which the use of
Calomel is sure to produce. It hardens Spongy Gums,
secures the Teeth as firmly us ever.
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP.
Eradicates, root and branch, all Eruptive Diseases of
the Skin, like
ULCERS, PIMPLES, BLOTCHES,
And all other difficulties of this kind, which so much
disfigure the outward appearance of both males and
females, often making them disgusting objects to
themselves and lheir friends.
For all forms of Ulcerative Diseases,
Either of the Nose, Throat, Tongue, Spine, Forehead,
or scalp, no remedy lias ever proved its equal.
Moth Patches upon the female face, depending upon
a diseased action of the Liver, are very unpleasant to
the young wife and mother. A few bottles of Cousli ■
tution Life Syrup will correct the secretion and re
move the deposits, which is directly under the skin.
Diseases of the Liver, giving rise to Languor, Dizzi
ness, Indigestion, Weak Stomach, or an ulcerated or
cancerous condition of that organ, accompanied with
burning or other unpleasant symptoms, will he re
lieved l>y the use of
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP.
As a General Blood Purifying Agent, the Life Syrup
stands unrivalled by any preparation in the world.
THE RICH AND POOR
Are liable to the same disease. Nature and Science
have made the Constitution Lifo Syrup for the benefit
of all.
PURE BLOOD
Produces healthy men and women; and if the consti
tution is neirlected in youth, disease and early death
is the result. Do not delay when the means are so
near at hand, and within the reach of all.
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP
Is the Poor Man's Friend , and the Rich Man's
Blessing.

CHOLERA.
A CERTAIN CUBE FOR THIS DIBEAI'E
MAY BE FOUND IN THE USE OF
PERRY DAVIS’
Vegetable Pain Killer.
i.,M| V
Dubuque, lowa, May 6lh, 1865.
Gentlemen : —I feel under obligations to you for
the benefit I have received from your invaluable Pain
Killer.
A few days since, I assisted in laying out and bury
ing one of our citizens who was supposed to have died
with the cholera. The next morning I was taken with
severe vomiting, aeeompanied with coldness of the ex
tremities. Warm coverings and hot applications failed
to restore warmth. My wile’s family, who had used
the l’ain Killer with success during the cholera season
in Buffalo, in 1847, advised me to take it. I took two
doses at intervals of fifteen minutes; a fine perspira
tion ensued, and the next day, barring a little weak
ness, I was well, and have been since. It may have
been an attack of ague; hut whether ague or cholera
it answered ray purpose.
Since my recovery, I find that several of onr citizens
have used the Pain Killer as a remedy for cholera,
pronouncing it good. I therefore take pleasure in re
commending it to a still more extensive notb-e.
W. M. CRAW »Kl.,
Attori! it Law.
St. Louis, Mo.
Dear Sir: —l feel it a duty 1 owe to the public to
make known the value of Davis’ Pain Killer, and my
experience in using it for some of the complaints for
which it is Uglily recommended. In April last, on
your recommendation, J purchased n one-dollar 1 Kittle
of you for paius with which I have long been afflicted,
and made use of it on my trip down to New Orleans
with tlie most gratifying and beneficial effects. On
my return trip to this city, the cholera made its ap
pearance among some of my passengers. I made use
of the Pain Killer, having no other remedy on board,
and, to my surprise and gratification, found it gave
immediate relief. Oil my arrival ill St. Louis, I called
oil you and got lour large bottles, and stated to you
my confidence in Jt as an infallible cholera remedy
and remarking to you tliat I wanted no other cholera
remedy on board my bout. I made use of four bottles
on my trip to New Orleans and back, for cholera and
some other complaints for which it, is recommended,
and met with the most astonishing success—when 1
ordered from you six more one-dollar bottles. Since
then, I have made two more trips to New Orleans and
back, and on my previous trip up I had more than
SEVENTY CASES OF CHOLERA
on hoard, when the PAIN KILLER was immediately
used with the most astonishing results. In all eases
where it was used in time, it gave relief in a very
short time; and I can with confidence say to the pub,
lie, that in all of the first stages of cholera, when taken
in time, it is iu my opinion an infallible remedy; and,
after a fair trial with it for several weeks, and four
trips to New Orleans and back, and using it for cholera
and other complaints for which it is recommended, no
consideration whatever would induce me to leave port
without a good supply—believing it to be a medicine
that no officer of a boat or any family would be with
out a single day after using one bottle.
J. M. BROADWELL,
Capt. Steamer Atlantic.
I most cordially unite with Captain Broadwcll in
recommending Perry Davis’ Pain Killer to the public,
having myself boon severe))’ attacked witli the cholera
and found relief in a few hours by using it, ami have
myself administered it to more than fifty persons at
tacked with the cholera, and when used in time a cure
was effected in a few hours, and take pleasure in re
commending it to the public as an invaluable medicine
that no individual should bo without a single hour.
J. N. BOFFINGER,
Clerk Steamer Atlantic.
DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER.
In to-day’s Uninn will be found an advertisement of
this celebrated remedy. The certificates appended
from the Captain and Clerk of the steamer Atlantic
we know to be genuine and founded on facts, as they
verbally stated in our office the substance of what they
publish.— St. Louis Union.
At the commencement of the disease take a tea
spoonful of I’ain Killer in sugar and water, and then
bathe freely across the stomaob, and with the Pain
Killer clear.
Should the diarrhoea or cramps continue, repeat the
dose every fifteen minutes. In this way the dreadful
scourge may be checked and the patient relieved in
the course of a few hours.
N. B.—Be sure and get the genuine article, and it is
recommended by those who have used the Pain Killer
for the cholera, that in extreme cases the patient can
take two or more teaspoonfuls instead of one.
